Alex gathered energy in his hand, forming a jagged spear of ice laced with crackling lightning. The frost-blue and electric-yellow hues intertwined, casting a radiant glow across the open field. With a swift motion, he hurled the ice-lightning spear at the Chickizard. It shot through the air like a comet, embedding itself in the ground just beside the creature.
Bok! The Chickizard squawked, its scales flashing as it tried to dart away, but the shockwave was too powerful.
Rumbling! Rumbling! The ground rumbled from the impact, sending vibrations up through Alex and Barty's feet. They exchanged a knowing glance as the tremor intensified.
Suddenly, the earth split open, and a deep, guttural growl echoed from beneath. Barty tightened his grip on his weapon, his gaze fixed on the ground. Alex stood ready, eyes sharp and focused.
The silence stretched, tension thickening in the air.
