Terrakion put everything into every attack, and this time was no exception.
With Spiritomb willingly cooperating, every hit of Stone Edge struck home.
Through Cynthia's tear-blurred eyes, Spiritomb's little body went flying back toward her.
Then Spiritomb slammed into the rock wall behind her, kicking up a sizable cloud of dust.

As long as they maintained their rhythm, defeating Kangaskhan was only a matter of time.
That was
