At Lin Guang's command, Shiny Aerodactyl immediately used Rock Tomb.
Five rocks fell from the sky and appeared in front of Shiny Aerodactyl. At the same time, Articuno's Ice Beam struck the stones Shiny Aerodactyl had created with Rock Tomb.
Articuno's Ice Beam instantly froze the brown rocks into blocks of ice, which even gave off wisps of cold air.
Just then, Lin Guang said, "Aerodactyl! Use Dragon Dance to get close to Articuno!"
Shiny Aerodactyl shot into the sky from behind the frozen rocks, rapidly approaching Articuno with a peculiar series of movements.
Seeing Shiny Aerodactyl charging over, Articuno used Ice Beam again.

Shiny Aerodactyl's Dragon Rush crashed into Articuno's Reflect, immediately losing much of its power. Nevertheless, Shiny Aerodactyl smashed straight through the barrier and struck Articuno.

But Articuno had its pride as a legendary Pokémon, and it also held a certain type advantage over Aerodactyl, so it did not think it would lose.
"Screee!"
Articuno flew
