Why does Pokemon X repeatedly crash in Snowbelle City Gym?

Question

So, I ran into a weird crash in Pokemon x. It happens in the snowbelle city gym, where I'm trying to fight the first trainer, Ace trainer Imelda. She has a sneasel that is level 54 and a Cloyster that is level 55, both does not have an item. (searched this up on bulbapedia). However, the game causes a fatal crash after the name is displayed. What is odd that, the first time the game crashed, she only had one Pokemon. I tried switching up my team, checked anything I possibly didn't do, but the crash never changes. How does this happen, and how can I fix this? I have 22 hours on this game, and I'm not planning to quit.

Which model of 3DS are you using? I’ve noticed that the 3D Pokémon games have a tendency to handle poorly on the Early 3DS models, which could be why it crashes. It may be more of a system problem than a cartridge problem.

Otherwise, as said above, check if your 3DS or Cartridge is damaged in any way, and videoing the game crashing may help as well. :P

I use the first 3ds model released in Europe, and I think Cloyster might be corrupted in the game files since I didn't encounter one yet.

Then, maybe try encountering a Cloyster in the wild?

Cloyster is Y exclusive

according to these [x x] forum threads here, there may be a problem with the cartridge seeing as you seem to not be having any problems with any other games.
so you may have to get a new one, unless you can find some way to fix it.
