Heath let Charmeleon get used to his new form, but immediately afterward, Charmeleon used a very strange move right before Heath's dumbfounded eyes. Several huge rocks rose from the ground, and Charmeleon controlled them, smashing them into the ground ahead and leaving a large crater.
"Was that Ancient Power? But isn't Ancient Power a move only Rock-type Pokémon can learn?" Heath scratched his head. He remembered that Charmeleon couldn't learn Ancient Power, yet Charmeleon had unquestionably used it right in front of him. That was rather alarming. Heath couldn't figure out why Charmeleon could use Ancient Power. Surely this Terastallization couldn't change a Pokémon's type too?
But after watching Charmeleon use Rock Throw as well, Heath finally confirmed that Charmeleon did indeed seem to have mastered Rock-type moves, though he didn't know how. At that thought, Heath took out his phone and looked up Terastallization in the Paldea region. His search actually turned up something: a research paper published by Professor Oak.
"On whether Terastallization types in the Paldea region exhibit like-type repulsion." Although the title wasn't very comprehensible, Heath could still understand some of its contents. Terastallization apparently granted Pokémon different types; some Eevee had been granted Grass and Fire types after Terastallizing. With that in mind, Heath looked at the crystal flower atop Charmeleon's head. It did have something of a rocky texture. Did that mean Charmeleon had been granted a Rock type?
"Rock plus Fire. Good grief, four times weak to Water, four times weak to Ground. But once Charmeleon evolves into Charizard, will he be Fire/Flying or Rock/Flying? Surely he can't have three types. That would be ridiculous." Heath scratched his head. As a Charmeleon, Charmeleon only had a Fire type. Once he evolved, he would become Fire/Flying. So if he Terastallized as a Charizard, what
