there was a cute little phanpy that he spotted on the edge of the road within the tunnel to verdanturf. it played along the dust in a way that others would find adorable. it was filthy no matter how one would look at it, however.

unfortunately, it was promptly ignored as kyle wasn't interested in it.

he continued traversing without giving the wild pokemon much thought. he did not deem the phanpy to be a hazard on the path anyways, and as such, did not need to be given too much regard. it can be ignored for now, until it causes trouble.

it was then that he sees the reason why he was called out here to check the tunnel.

kyle sees the large aggron on the road. the attention wasn't on him yet, but the moment that the trainer releases one of his dogs, the pokemon quickly switches it attention at them. aggressive and maybe a bit territorial, he judges the pokemon's temperament. both traits suggested for him to take the problem out.

the trainer motions for the mightyena to attack before the wild pokemon does. the preemptive strike should give them an advantage.

lunging in with a rock smash, the attack makes the aggron stagger. the large steel-type would attack back with a heavy slam, which the mightyena nimbly dodges. it causes quakes though, which were very dangerous inside a tunnel such as the rusturf tunnel. they need to finish it quick.

alpha performs another strike as soon as the heavy slam gives him the opening. a roar of pain echoes through the cavern walls, though the sound is quickly muted when kyle throws a pokeball at it in an attempt to capture.

he wasn't sure what he was going to do with it, but he knows he cannot leave it alone in here.
