Dragon Breath continued for a while before Aerodactyl reluctantly ended the attack.
After checking Altaria, the referee quickly announced the result.
"Altaria is unable to battle! Aerodactyl wins!"
Yong watched fondly as his partner roared in the sky, showing off his prowess. The system's notifications sounded in his mind.
Ding! Aerodactyl won an official battle! Earned 150 Training Points! Gained a large amount of experience! Ding! Proficiency increased for Dragon Claw, Flamethrower, Dragon Pulse, and Dragon Breath! Ding! Aerodactyl leveled up to Lv38!
Finally, a level-up!
Nodding in satisfaction, Yong looked at Winona and waited for the final round.
After recalling Altaria, Winona did not hesitate. There was no displeasure at her loss on her face. Still smiling, she took out a Pokémon Ball and gently tossed it.
An enormous bird emerged from the light, circling overhead with beating wings.
His entire body was covered in armor as hard as iron, glinting coldly in the sunlight.
His wings resembled a thicket of thorns, their tips sharp as knives. Neatly arranged gaps lay between his blade-like feathers, and the insides of his wings were red.
His head was triangular, with a pointed beak lined with sharp teeth.
Looking at the steel-armored bird, Yong understood. Skarmory, just as I thought! I'd hoped I might get to see Gyarados!
``` Pokémon: Skarmory, Lv38, the Armor Bird Pokémon. He nests in thorn bushes. The feathers that grow as he is injured by the thorns become as hard as steel.
