Oak stomped on the ground. With only a slight stamp of his foot, he crushed all the thorns to pieces. They posed no obstacle to him whatsoever. As for the thorny spikes shooting at him, Oak could not even be bothered to deal with them. They struck his body without even piercing his skin, accomplishing absolutely nothing.
