Aerodactyl opened its mouth and roared again, its reddened eyes fixed on Steelix. It used Agility once more, the tremendous momentum of its speed combining with the Steel-type energy coating its head as it charged straight down!
Steelix reared up, a metallic sheen flashing across its head as well!
Iron Head versus Iron Head!

Gradually, it had developed the haughty mindset of an overlord. That came with advantages, but disadvantages too!
"Aerodactyl!"
Looking at his still-enraged companion, Yong tried to approach, but
