A Gravity field.
It was a Psychic-type move that forced every Pokémon down to the ground.
Even Drake's Altaria was no exception.
Though also a bird Pokémon, it clearly lacked the well-developed legs of Doduo and Dodrio. Its movement was so slow that even Dusknoir could outpace it.
But its fighting strength had not diminished in the slightest.
First, it used Cotton Guard, swelling the cottony wings around it to five or six times their original size until they enclosed it like a ball.
Then Dusknoir used Disable to seal Cotton Guard and hold Altaria in place. Altaria answered with Feather Dance, sending its swollen, cottony feathers flying!
In an instant.
The feathers engulfed the nearby Dusknoir like a surging tsunami. Their strands intertwined with astonishing elasticity and toughness, clinging so tightly that Dusknoir could barely move its limbs inside the thick mass.
When Dusknoir tried to burn the feathers away with Fire Punch, the Draco Meteor Altaria had been preparing came crashing down from above.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As ever, its power lived up to Drake's reputation as an all-around Pokémon Trainer.
The saturation bombardment of Draco Meteor punished Dusknoir, whose health had already been halved by Curse. It rushed toward Altaria, hoping to recover with Pain Split.
Drake had no intention of letting Pheobe get her way. He ordered Altaria to retreat while using Sing.
Through the loudspeakers.
The song came in faint, broken snatches, like the sound of Flygon's wings amid a Sand Tornado. Desperate to use Pain Split, Dusknoir had no defense against it. The move struck, and it collapsed on the spot.
Altaria cried out triumphantly and unleashed Moonblast to finish it off.
A warrior would not fall to the same move twice, and Drake was not about to be caught by Pain Split twice
