Flygon's evolution had come without warning.
She had suddenly grasped Dragon Dance in the middle of a sandstorm and evolved, jumping straight from level 45 to level 47!
She had been so excited that she spent more than half the night flying through the sky!
Yes, at night!
The sandstorm she whipped up blew Yong's tent clean away, and only then did he spot her.
Yong understood exactly how she felt!
She had finally achieved the goal she had always chased. As a proud, fiercely competitive girl, Flygon must have been thrilled and satisfied!
To reward her...
To broaden her coverage, Yong had also taught her moves such as Fire Punch and Hyper Beam. He had originally wanted to buy a Sunny Day move manual, but it was far too rare. Even after searching every supermarket in Lilycove City, he had come up empty.
In truth, Flygon wasn't suited to this match. Her overly balanced base stats left her without a way to secure victory in a single hit. Her speed was merely good, and her physical attack barely made the grade.
If Milotic hadn't been badly weakened, Yong would never have sent her out. Of course, winning wasn't his objective either...
By comparison, Flygon was better suited to bullying opponents at a Pokémon League tournament...
Of course, it definitely wasn't because he had no other Pokémon he could send out. After all, Rhyhorn's level was high enough too... provided it didn't get knocked out in one hit...
Cynthia watched Flygon circling overhead, a flicker of confusion crossing her eyes.
Flygon instead of Steelix?
Even if Milotic isn't in good shape, isn't sending out a Ground-type and Dragon-type Pokémon a little overconfident? That's a quadruple weakness to Ice!
If Yong had heard her thoughts, he would certainly have given her
