Overeagerness was the downfall of many a man, one of whom happened to be Miles today. His training regimen would be cut short due to what the researcher would call an equal mixture of carelessness and bad luck. The combination led to a sprained ankle and an early end to his hike. The culprit was a loose stack of stones just off the trail which upon being stepped on led to a harsh tumble and the rocket's current predicament. That said, there was more than just a silver lining in his accident, a trade-off for his sprained ankle came in the form of a fossil pokemon, one he'd wished to study and get his hands on for a long while, even prior to his time at Devon. A fossil pokemon native to the Hoenn region, an Anorith had been uncovered underneath the stones he'd callously trampled upon it was needless to say quite the find all things considered. Though the ancient bug was none too happy to have its resting place uncovered and was clearly looking to deal with whoever had disturbed it. A request Obelos was more than happy to oblige.

It wasn't a particularly long fight though watching the two ancient pokemon go at it in the present day was something vaguely poetic to watch while the hurt trainer patched himself together. Miles would give a command every so often managing his focus between the two issues through the tyrannic pokemon seemed to have a more natural advantage over its enemy. The battle ends with a particularly powerful crunch knocking the Anorith out. Seconds after a familiar orb would fly towards the bug its red-light encapsulating the beast leaving only the orb in its wake.

While his regimen had been cut short for the day, it was a more than worthwhile trade.
