Snowflakes fell onto Piloswine's body as the white light became increasingly dazzling, then immediately began expanding.
Mamoswine's figure gradually revealed itself until the Evolution was completed, and the white light merged into its body.
This Mamoswine of his looked exceptionally fierce. It stood 2.6 meters tall!
In terms of size, it was not much larger than ordinary Mamoswine.
…But the power hidden within it was incomparable to any other Mamoswine!
Looking at the snowflakes drifting down from the sky, Tetsuya was preparing to test Mamoswine's newly Evolved capacities, and many moves also needed to begin training.
Suddenly!
The entire island seemed to experience an earthquake. Tetsuya felt it especially strongly, while tsunamis also appeared upon the sea surface. Immediately afterward, the dark clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, as raindrops the size of beans came crashing down.
Violent wind and rain accompanied by tsunamis and earthquakes…
It made Tetsuya feel as though this island was about to be destroyed ahead of time!
Everyone was filled with panic. All the Shadows ran to the outside plaza preparing to take shelter, while the Pokémon in the ranch seemed to sense a powerful aura and fled in all directions.
However, this phenomenon only lasted for one hour before gradually calming down.
Raven also let out a long sigh. The sea was always unpredictable, so he did not investigate deeply. After calming those members down a little, the matter passed.
"This is definitely not normal."
Tetsuya looked at the dispersing dark clouds and calmly spoke. Although the sea was unpredictable by nature, when thinking about how this island would disappear before long, he naturally would not consider this normal…

The area at the foot of the mountain was fairly spacious, allowing Mamoswine to fully display its abilities.
Mamoswine's four limbs were much thicker and longer than Piloswine's. Even just stomping its feet had extraordinary force.
Right now, the first thing to do was let Mamoswine adapt to this new form, and the Ice-type energy within its body also needed to merge with the body as quickly as possible.
Then let it destroy to its heart's content!
Mamoswine ran powerfully around the foot of the mountain, causing the ground itself to tremble. The trees it crashed into fell one after another, quickly alarming many Pokémon groups and clans around the area.
Mightyena bared their fangs and claws…
Rhydon appeared fiercely aggressive…
Sandslash emerged from underground waving its claws…
They completely surrounded Mamoswine!
Around thirty Pokémon all gritted their teeth, preparing to tear this Mamoswine apart alive…
Tetsuya just smiled. This really saved him the trouble of searching for them himself, yet they had personally delivered themselves to his doorstep.
Mamoswine was currently feeling that the power throughout its body had nowhere to be vented. It shook its body, causing heavy snow to fly and Hail to dance wildly. Although the range was not as large as before…
All the Pokémon froze, unable to open their eyes by the heavy snow and hails. The earlier earthquake had only just stopped, and these Pokémon were still shaken with lingering fear. Now that they discovered this Mamoswine causing trouble, they had been preparing to use it as an outlet to vent their emotions.
Yet the moment they approached, they were already thrown into confusion by such weather.
These Pokémon were all powerful rulers of their respective territories within the forest, so their strength was naturally extraordinary. Yet now they were in such a miserable state…
Rhydon and Sandslash simultaneously used Sandstorm, wanting to change this weather. Mightyena used Shadow Ball and hurled it into the blizzard, yet it vanished without a trace.
The Sandstorm tore open gap after gap within the hail and snow, but they were quickly swallowed once more by the Hail.
Huge snowballs suddenly fell from the sky, smashing onto those Pokémon. The Mightyena and Rhydon scattered in all directions, colliding and trampling over one another as everything descended into chaos.
The Sandslash were rather clever. They directly used Dig and burrowed underground to evade.
At this moment, Mamoswine had already begun using Blizzard. Combined with Icy Wind, the Blizzard's momentum became even stronger, while the addition of Freeze-Dry made it even colder and more bone-piercing.
Moreover, after Evolution, its control over Ice-type energy had become even more powerful. With Mamoswine as the center, ten Blizzard cyclones spread in all directions, sweeping all the Mightyena and Rhydon into them.
"Don't leave any survivors, Icicle Crash."
Tetsuya said. Mamoswine exerted force once again as icicles pierced down, directly stabbing into the cyclones. Many Mightyena and Rhydon were instantly pierced to death and nailed to the ground.
The wind and snow dispersed, and the ground was already covered in corpses…
"Mamooooooos…!"
Mamoswine let out a long roar. Its legs violently stomped upon the ground. Instantly, the earth trembled and shook while the ground collapsed in many places. In any case, the Sandslash never appeared again, most likely having escaped underground.
Many weaker Pokémon saw the Mightyena and Rhydon group dead before Mamoswine and were so frightened that they fled far away.
"Tehaha…!"

While training his Pokémon, Tetsuya also continued opening a path toward the mountain peak. In order not to miss any clues, the route he opened was also shaped like a winding mountain road, circling around toward the peak.
It took a full month to finally reach the summit, although most of the time had been spent training Pokémon.
Koffing's toxicity caused nearly all the trees on the mountain to be poisoned to death. Combined with Piloswine's Blizzard and the destruction caused by the other Pokémon, the entire mountain peak had now become a barren mountain.
Mamoswine had also completely adapted to this body. Right now, in this world, the only Ice-type capable of rivaling Mamoswine's was Pryce's Delibird… when it came to Ice-type energy control.
Now Mamoswine had begun training Curse and Fissure.
For non-Ghost-type Pokémon, Curse was a very difficult move to learn and placed extremely high demands upon physical condition. Therefore, before Tetsuya allowed Piloswine to Evolve, he had never let it practice this move.
Now that it had Evolved into Mamoswine, its physical condition had further strengthened.
Mamoswine already possessed the qualifications to train with Curse. Tetsuya had Mamoswine begin gradual practice step by step. Of course, the primary instructor was the Gengar in his shadow. Although he did not frequently allow Gengar to use this move, he still clearly understood how Gengar used it.
Of course, this was mainly because Mamoswine had inherited this move, leaving a rough impression of it within its mind. Therefore, it quickly grasped the basics.
However, this was still a lengthy process. Curse could increase its own Attack and Defense, but it would lower Speed. Right now, Mamoswine's control over Ice-type energy was already extremely proficient, so this was another battle style Tetsuya had opened up for it.
After using Curse, combined with the Special Defense increase from Amnesia, Mamoswine would simply become an indestructible fortress. Then, using physical Attack moves such as Earthquake, Avalanche, and Icicle Crash, it would become overwhelmingly powerful!
Weather such as Hail and blizzards could completely obscure the opponent's vision. Combined with the Snow Cloak Ability, opponents simply could not find Mamoswine's location for a period of time, thus completely giving it the opportunity to use Curse and Amnesia.
