Especially for Beedrill.
They are completely restrained by the Insect-type, making it easy for them to do whatever they want.
Effortlessly, they use "Deadly Needle Stab" to stack their attack power.
Seeing that they could not win.
It's unclear which Rattata shouted.
Crack, crack, crack—
The ice layers around began to break, and Raticate and Rattata, dark in color, emerged from the surrounding ice layers.
This group of Raticate is far larger than imagined.
Cracks and holes accompanied more and more Raticate and Rattata appearing from the openings.
In just a blink of an eye, dozens of Raticate expanded to hundreds.
However.
The number continued to increase.
There weren't any particularly strong Raticate among them, yet they freely navigate the glacial tunnels dug by Overlord Diglett King, relying on a terrifyingly large number that would make most trainers daunted.
Very terrifying in number.
Seeing more Raticate appear, the Beedrill slowly consolidated around Natsuhiko.
Natsuhiko also withdrew the smile from his face.
Honestly.
Such a large group was unexpected for him.
But.
Lanakila Mountain is rarely visited, and the Raticate's living environment is too comfortable, leading them to develop to this scale.
The arrival of the Raticate continued.
The ice layers around accompanied by more and more cracks.
Bang!!
A voice like an explosion breaking.
With so many holes and cracks, the ice layers finally couldn't withstand the pressure and burst out a protesting sound.
Immediately.
The ground began to shake violently, and the thick ice layers began to collapse.
This.
Even the Raticate were somewhat panicked.
Natsuhiko's brow furrowed deeply, his hand gently atop Alakazam's shoulder.
Below... is it empty?
It's unclear which Raticate realized it first but they started to scatter.
Unfortunately.
Their movement only accelerated the ice layers' fracturing.
Boom!!
Like a ground collapse, accompanied by a rumble, the ice layer below completely shattered and ice crystals around and above collapsed under the weight.
"Alakazam?"
Alakazam's barrier of superpowers supported him as he looked towards Natsuhiko, asking if it's time to leave?
But Natsuhiko hesitated slightly.
"Let's go down and see."
Curious about what's below the ice layers.
"Alakazam!"
Understanding, Alakazam enveloped Natsuhiko and his Pokemon, and they began descending with the collapsing ice.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Chunks of ice crystals hit and shattered upon contact below.
As they descended, the space below the ice layers became increasingly revealed under Alakazam's spoon lighting.
It was a large ice cave, right beneath where Natsuhiko and them had been standing.
With Alakazam's help, they landed safely.
However, the slower-moving Raticate and Rattata weren't so lucky.
Either falling from above in a dizzy state or being knocked unconscious by the ice crystal impacts.
The ones still mobile didn't linger and scattered, disappearing in a blink.
But these.
Were no longer a focus of Natsuhiko's attention.
His gaze fell towards the center of the ice cave.
Only to see.
A Pokémon entirely pure white like snow was pinned hard to the ground, its nine tails hanging down, in a state of exhaustion.
It was indeed one of the Pokémon Natsuhiko had been looking for during this time.
Ninetales!
Alola Ninetales!
However.
Its chest was firmly stepped on by a dark grey paw.
The sharp claws were only a few centimeters away from its head.
The collapsing ice interrupted what should have been the act to end Ninetales' life, it looked blankly at Natsuhiko and his team's direction.
Weavile!
Wild Weavile!
Seeing their current stance.
Natsuhiko twitched his mouth.
Should they... just continue?
Of course, that's just a thought.
Natsuhiko's eyes quickly scanned the ice cave, gathering the situation within.
Weavile stepping on Frost Ninetales appearing ready to finish it.
Beside them, two Sneasel, faces excitedly smiling.
Not far in a corner.
A Sneasel held tightly onto a small white figure.
Frost Vulpix!
The little one struggled continuously in Sneasel's hand, crystalline tears glistening, chokingly calling towards the Frost Ninetales in the center of the ice cave.
Clearly.
Weavile and three Sneasel were hunting Frost Ninetales and Frost Vulpix.
Using the capture of the little Vulpix to force Ninetales into submission.
As Weavile was finishing its hunt, ending Frost Ninetales' life, the ice layer above the ice cave collapsed due to the reckless digging by Raticate, interrupting Weavile's actions.
Sneasel evolves into Weavile using "Sharp Claw."
Though not common, it's not unprecedented either.
In the Alola Region, Weavile's favorite foods are Vulpix and Sandshrew.
Moreover, Weavile and Sneasel are inherently cunning, adept at stealing bird Pokémon eggs and consuming the yolk, becoming disliked by many breeders.
Yet they are born hunters, enjoying teamwork in hunts.
They coordinate well, once they target prey, the harassment continues unending until the prey is fully captured.
Thus making Sneasel a favorite among many Pokémon hunters.
