Aggron's strength was indeed getting on track, but compared to Steelix and Swampert, he still had a long way to go.
It did not matter how anyone else saw it. At least, that was what Yong thought.
Palmer took out his second Pokémon Ball, tossed it lightly, and smiled.
"A Pokémon's strength and its trainer complement each other. They help each other grow! Now I have a good grasp of your strength!"
Hurling the Pokémon Ball, Palmer laughed heartily.
"Next up is round two! This is who you'll be facing!"
White light burst forth! Radiance flickered!
A figure shot out of the dazzling light and beat its wings in the sky!
"Ee-bah!!!"
Another familiar figure!
It resembled an enormous bat. It had a pair of huge, speaker-shaped ears and a ring of white fur around its neck. Its enormous bat wings were black on the inside and purple on the outside, with teal membranes and two red claws. When it opened its mouth, two pointed fangs were visible in its lower jaw.
This was a Flying-type and Dragon-type Pokémon discovered in the Kalos Region!
Noivern!
Yong had seen one before at Meteor Falls-the one that belonged to Zinnia!
It was very powerful! Its destructive Supersonic move, in particular, was its signature!
He wondered whether Zinnia was still undercover within the Dark Organization...
Pokémon: Noivern, Lv66, Sound Wave Pokémon. The ultrasonic waves emitted from its ears are powerful enough to shatter rocks... Ability: Infiltrator, allows attacks to penetrate an opponent's barriers or Substitute... Moves... Force domain: boomburst aura... Combination skill: Boomburst...
So it really has developed its natural advantage to the limit?
Growing wary, Yong watched Noivern in the sky and silently considered his options.
Guandao's voice rang out just then.
"Noivern versus Aggron! Begin!"
Palmer visibly grew excited.
