Yong's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the pink Pokémon before him.
It looked like a Slowpoke walking upright, with longer limbs and a top-shaped shell on its tail that had evolved from a Shellder...
A familiar face... Slowpoke's evolved form, Slowbro!
Its Water and Psychic typing was hardly favorable for Excadrill.

In an instant, moisture filled the air! The sky suddenly darkened as clouds began to gather...
However, before Yuujirou or Slowbro could react, fierce winds suddenly swept up clouds of sand! The
