It was surprising of that the man had to admit upon moving through the route the tortoise pokemon for better or worse managed to sneak up from below the trainer. What was initially thought to be rough terrain had ended up being a pokemon and one none too happy to have its back trampled upon by some random human and his pokemon. Thankfully the water type didn't seem to have too much fight and Miles was wise enough to fend the pokemon off in a battle Obelos having taken the lead was more than willing to confront their opponent and by the time the pokemon had felt a couple of severe bites from the prehistoric pokemon the Dreadnaw decided it had enough and fled for the deeper wilderness. Obelos, an overachiever in anything violent sought to gave chase but was stopped by the dark-skinned trainer who instead chose to move deeper into the wilderness hoping to find more interesting challenges deeper in.

His interest is caught by a massive shelled dragon meandering the rocky area leading to the tunnel. Naturally, the rocket's first thought is to pass by unassumingly in an attempt to avoid the dragon types ire as most were known to be particularly territorial.

And that's how the battle began an unfortunate circumstance, but a means to train nonetheless, even if this second roadblock seemed particularly threatening.

All this resulted in a bit of a stalemate the Tyrunt's jaws while powerful were little in comparison to the turtonator's detonative shell, a detonation that they had the pain of dealing with due to a mistimed Crunch resulting in an explosive shell trap. Thankfully, the rock dragon managed to perservere through the attack in time for the trainer to change their strategy entirely, Now the two found themselves focusing on various rock slides bombarding the fire dragon in stones until it was pinned and as such could no longer fight. For the first time in no less than five years, the grunt reached into his jacket pocket revealing a miniaturized red and white orb before expanding and throwing the ball out tapping the shelled dragon on its unconscious head in hopes of capturing the defensive titan.
