The move was none other than Rock Tomb, one of the moves most commonly used by Rock-type and Ground-type Pokémon.
Dozens of enormous rocks rained down, slamming into the ground all around Blaziken.
But Shizuko had still underestimated Blaziken's speed.
Blaziken easily dodged the first few boulders. As more and more rocks fell, it could no longer evade them quite so comfortably, but a second later, it abruptly accelerated again.
