"Normal type..."
After Kangaskhan took the field, the challenger Mitsuo hesitated for two seconds before sending out his first Pokémon. ☠🐲 💝🐻
Since he had transferred from an academy background, he had a type he specialized in.
—Ground type.
"Roar!!"
A rhinoceros-dinosaur hybrid with rocky skin all over its body, slightly smaller than Kangaskhan at roughly 1.9 meters tall, roared defiantly at Kangaskhan.
