"I'm counting on you for the second round!"
At the boy's shout, the Pokémon Ball spun through the air, then landed on a stone pillar and burst into dazzling light!
"Clang!"
The platform shuddered, and the stone pillar trembled as though it could barely bear the weight. Then Aggron's towering figure stepped out of the light!
"Graaar!!!"
Facing Tentacruel standing in the water, Aggron roared. Sensing the immense pressure radiating from its opponent, Aggron stirred the air behind it, bringing forth a silver glow. A funnel-shaped hollow enveloped it, continually compressing the surrounding air into a solid Air Wall, which then vanished from sight in front of it!
Silver arcs of electricity spread silently, while a mountainous, weighty aura mingled with a hint of ferocity and swirled across the battlefield!
"Ooh!!!"
"Smack!"
Two tentacles suddenly shot out from underwater and slammed hard against the surface!
Water exploded into spray, splashing out in every direction.
Tentacruel's low, muffled growl rang with vigor. It stared coldly at Aggron, entirely unaffected by its opponent's force domain power.
The match had not even begun, yet the two Pokémon had already tested each other and discovered that neither opponent had a pleasant temper.
Watching Tentacruel, Yong was not surprised by its explosive temper.
After all, in the original story, Tentacruel had been a difficult Pokémon to get along with, and it had displayed tremendous strength!
As a Steel-type, Aggron was immune to its opponent's deadly poison. But Tentacruel's strength lay in far more than its toxicity. Its tentacles were flexible and powerful, capable of inflicting immense physical destruction through sheer strength alone!
Moreover, it was cunning. Despite its considerable strength, it excelled at surprise attacks.
The referee stepped forward and inspected both Pokémon. Once he confirmed that everything was in order, he waved his flag
