"Boom!" A heavy, muffled impact echoed across the battlefield.
Dragonite's Brick Break struck the defensive barrier ford by ga Aggron's crossed arms.
The trendous force swept outward like a hurricane, creating bombardnt-like cracks that appeared on the arena walls behind ga Aggron. The damage spread rapidly across the surface like a spider web expanding in the rain!
However, ga Aggron itself - standing at the epicenter of this devastating impact - remained completely motionless! Only a thin white scratch marked its gleaming golden steel armor, serving as proof that Dragonite had indeed launched an attack.
Within monts, even this minor mark would heal and disappear entirely.
ga Aggron's proud head rose high within its steel helt, eyes gazing downward as it swept its contemptuous stare across Dragonite.
The look seed to say: "That's it? Didn't you eat breakfast?"
Dragonite was equally astonished, wondering if perhaps too much ti spent socializing with the female dragons in the area had sohow weakened its performance.
Otherwise, why would its full-power attack against ga Aggron prove completely ineffective?
As the trainer, Elian could only grit his teeth and curse silently after witnessing ga Aggron's display.
"Unbelievable! Did Chris discover a ga Stone mine at ho? It's one thing to have ga Stones for Gardevoir and Garchomp, but Aggron too?"
After undergoing ga Evolution, Aggron becos a pure Steel-type Pokemon, aning Fighting-type moves no longer deal quadruple damage but only the standard double damage.
Additionally, ga Aggron gains the Filter ability upon evolution.
Filter: Reduces damage from super-effective moves by 25%.
Double damage becos 1.5 tis damage instead.
A physical attack dealing 1.5 tis damage against ga Aggron - a Pokemon renowned for its physical defense - naturally couldn't cause significant harm!
Beyond his frustration, Elian was even more surprised that Chris had concealed such a powerful Pokemon.
According to all the intelligence he had gathered, Chris had never used Aggron in any official battle.
Yet the ability to ga Evolve indicated that Chris had been training this Aggron for an extended period.
For Elian, ga Aggron represented a completely unexpected variable - an unknown quantity filled with mysteries.
Raw power wasn't frightening; the unknown was what truly unsettled him.
"Smack Down!" While everyone remained stunned by the display, Chris raised the corner of his mouth slightly and imdiately issued his next command.
Smack Down is a Rock-type move with special properties. If the target takes damage from this attack, it becos grounded, temporarily losing its Flying-type characteristics. This would prevent Dragonite from flying and make it vulnerable to Ground-type moves!
"Aggron!" ga Aggron released a intimidating roar, raising its claws as they beca shrouded in brown energy, then struck toward the Dragonite before it.
"Dodge quickly!" Though surprised, Elian retained his qualities as an Elite trainer and imdiately reacted with an evasion command.
Dragonite proved worthy of its reputation as an "agile heavyweight."
Despite being face-to-face with ga Aggron, it still demonstrated remarkable dexterity when confronting the attack.
With its short legs stepping lightly and its small fleshy wings providing a quick flap, Dragonite's form shifted gracefully.
It floated away like a gentle breeze, narrowly brushing past ga Aggron's claws and successfully avoiding the strike.
However, ga Aggron didn't retract its motion after the failed Smack Down attempt. Instead, it accelerated further and slamd its sharp claws into the ground with even greater force.
"Boom!!"
Imdiately, from the point where ga Aggron's palm struck, massive golden pillars over ten ters tall erupted from the ground in sequence!
Elian didn't have ti to issue another dodge command. Dragonite could only avoid the first two golden pillars through its natural agility and speed. The third golden pillar still caught its body, launching it high into the sky.
This left Dragonite to face the onslaught of "Golden Rock Slide"!
Only then did the spectators realize what had truly occurred.
ga Aggron hadn't used Smack Down - a move designed to ground Flying-type Pokemon - but rather the long-range offensive move Stone Edge!
The Smack Down command had been nothing more than a tactical deception!
Elian couldn't have distinguished the difference, nor could he have anticipated it.
In close combat with sudden explosive moves, unless soone possessed supernatural abilities to read Chris's thoughts, such tactics were nearly impossible to defend against!
"Aerial Ace!" Unable to predict the deception, Elian could only work to solve the imdiate problem.
Under the barrage of golden spikes, Dragonite gritted its teeth and twisted its body. Its wings glowed white as it spun through the air, deflecting the golden projectiles falling toward it.
Unlike a typical Aerial Ace attack, however, Dragonite didn't launch a sudden strike but instead flew swiftly back toward its trainer.
It appeared to be regrouping for another coordinated assault.
"Aggron, use Sandstorm!" Chris commanded casually. He felt no urgency when using a large Pokemon with powerful defenses like Aggron, which could employ defensive counterattack strategies in most situations.
Moreover, Dragonite had already taken significant damage from both Stone Edge and Rock Slide. Its defeat wouldn't be long in coming!
"Aggron!" ga Aggron's roar resonated throughout the battlefield once again.
Strong winds swept across the ground, gathering yellow sand from seemingly nowhere and stirring it into towering clouds!
Within re monts, howling winds filled everyone's ears, visibility plumted dramatically, and the stinging sand whipping against their faces caused genuine discomfort.
The battlefield seed to have been transported thousands of kiloters away, landing directly in the middle of a desert environnt.
"Fire Blast!" After considering his options, Elian issued a new attack command.
Dragonite's Brick Break had proven that ga Aggron's defenses were indeed as formidable as reported.
However, ga Aggron's incredible defense applied primarily to physical attacks.
In terms of special defense, even though ga Evolution had provided so improvents, compared to its physical defense capabilities, this could be considered a relative weakness!
As a pure Steel-type, ga Aggron would take super-effective damage from Fire-type moves. Among all the techniques Dragonite had mastered, only the special attack move Fire Blast could deal aningful damage to ga Aggron!
Dragonite took a deep breath, its large mouth filling with violent orange flas as sparks overflowed from the corners of its maw.
In the next instant, it expelled a basketball-sized fireball that rapidly expanded in mid-flight, forming a two-ter-wide star-shaped blast pattern as it hurtled toward ga Aggron.
As a heavyweight Pokemon, ga Aggron's dictionary contained no entry for "dodge" when facing attacks - only the option to et them head-on!
Chris extended his hand and pointed downward, commanding: "Aggron, use Wonder Room!"
