And so, training began on the beach.
Rhyperior and Flygon teamed up and headed to the other side of the cliffs for an intense battle that was practically the real thing! Sand shrouded that stretch of beach, with explosions thundering endlessly within!
Excadrill stood in the seawater, pushing to the limits of endurance and unleashing one move after another against the incoming waves. Silvery-white energy surged through the surf.
Excadrill had chosen to focus on Steel-type energy.
Finally, Excadrill's body began spinning rapidly. Though the pounding seawater caused discomfort, a sharp edge tore through the ocean, and Excadrill burst straight through the waves!
This was... Force Domain Power!
The Power Assault Type's "Drillburst Aura"!
Tyrantrum teamed up with Metagross!
Rock Slide, Rock Tomb, Rock Blast!
Huge masses of rocks hurtled into the air, blanketing almost the entire area!
Amid them, Aerodactyl darted about, dodging at high speed!
Aerodactyl worked hard to stay within the designated flight area, trying to weave through the gaps between the rocks. Under normal circumstances, Aerodactyl's strength might have been enough to pull it off, but!
The air trembled slightly, and invisible ripples spilled from Metagross!
As Psychic Power surged, Confusion struck in an instant. Though it only restricted the space around Aerodactyl, hindering movement for a moment, countless rocks slammed into Aerodactyl's body one after another in the next second!
Even though Tyrantrum held back energy to reduce the moves' power, the pain those Rock-type attacks inflicted was enough to enrage Aerodactyl!
"Raaah!"
With a powerful beat of the wings, Aerodactyl broke through Confusion's restraints and streaked straight into the sky, leaving afterimages behind...
Then the boy's shout came from below.
"Aerodactyl! You're breaking the rules! You can't leave that area! Come back!"
Aerodactyl faltered midflight... then obediently returned...
Farther out from the shore, Swampert
