Dian's vision blurred, and a golden bolt of electricity shot toward him. His expression changed. He immediately crouched and scooped up the bewildered Larvitar.
Larvitar had now grown past its infancy. It knew its own attributes and had adapted to them. With a wave of its hand, it raised a gray Sandstorm that blocked the bolt.
