"Whoa! The match is getting more and more exciting!" Nemona expertly took on the role of referee: "Charizard is unable to battle, Ogerpon wins. Mr. Naoki, will you switch the Pokemon for the next match?"
Naoki glanced at Lance and said, "Switch!" Just as well to let Flutter Mane, from ancient times, experience modern Pokemon battles.
"Then, the third match is about to begin!" Nemona raised her flag high.
Meanwhile, Professor Oak, who had been chatting idly with other researchers on the other side of the party, was invited over by several Trainers.
They said there were many unseen Pokemon here and wanted Professor Oak to take a look and introduce these Pokemon to them.
Initially, Professor Oak was a bit confused.
But as he squeezed through the crowd, he saw several Pokemon he had never seen before beside one of the Trainers.
A blue Pokemon wearing a mask, bouncing in place,
A mysterious Pokemon with pink fur, holding a small hammer and wrapped in a cloak,
A completely crimson, muscular unknown Pokemon,
And that mysterious Pokemon with fierce eyes, similar in shape to Misdreavus but much larger.
"What Pokemon is that?!" Professor Oak was shocked: "Is it an exaggeratedly developed Misdreavus?"
But no one around could answer him.
Although everyone could see some connection between that Pokemon and Misdreavus, it was obvious that its appearance was much different from the Misdreavus they were familiar with.
That was not Misdreavus.
That Pokemon is...
"Flutter Mane, it's up to you!" Naoki called out.
"Mm..." Flutter Mane opened its mouth, responding silently.
Its gaze fell upon the unfamiliar Pokemon with a gray body and a fierce face standing opposite.
The third match, Flutter Mane vs. Aerodactyl, officially begins!
This time, Lance made the first move: "Aerodactyl, Scary Face!"
"Awoooo!"
Aerodactyl opened its blood-red maw, revealing the fierce visage of an ancient predator, and an intangible pressure instantly swept across the field.
Flutter Mane felt as if it had returned to the feeling it had long ago when facing Koraidon, which had seized its territory.
Flutter Mane was overwhelmed with pressure, momentarily intimidating it into freezing in place.
"Calm down! Flutter Mane!" Naoki quickly called out to remind.
Lance wouldn't give it time to adjust: "Aerodactyl, Ancient Power!"
"Awoooo!"
Aerodactyl roared, and purple-glowed rocks instantly appeared around its body.
Under its control, these rocks shot towards Flutter Mane like meteorites.
Seeing this, Naoki hurriedly said, "Flutter Mane, dodge! Phantom Force!"
Flutter Mane finally snapped out of its frightened state, but because of the negative impact of Scary Face, its evasion speed was slightly slower, forcibly taking Aerodactyl's Ancient Power hit.
The pain made Flutter Mane more clear-headed, and also more furious.
It bared its little fangs, growling again and again.
"Power Gem!" Naoki ordered.
Flutter Mane immediately took action, a beam of gem-like radiant light burst from its body, shooting towards Aerodactyl.
Aerodactyl was already wary, it spread its wings wide, then flew straight into the sky, avoiding this Power Gem move.
"Continue!" Lance said gravely.
In the sky, Aerodactyl summoned the ancient power again, and condensing it into several meteorites, hurled them towards Flutter Mane below.
"Phantom Force!" As soon as he saw Aerodactyl's lifting motion, Naoki reacted.
This time, Flutter Mane wasn't affected by any negative status, it promptly executed Phantom Force, successfully dodging Aerodactyl's Ancient Power.
"Stay alert!" As Flutter Mane vanished, Lance immediately reminded.
Aerodactyl vigilantly scanned around, trying to capture Flutter Mane's figure.
However, in the next second, Flutter Mane launched a sudden attack from behind.
Flutter Mane's massive body crashed into Aerodactyl like a small calf, sending Aerodactyl flying and almost out of the battlefield.
Thankfully, it regained its footing at the crucial moment and flew back up.
"Charge!" Lance said gravely: "Use Wing Attack!"
"Beware of dodging!" Naoki immediately reminded.
But in the next instant, he discovered something alarming.
Too late!
Because that Aerodactyl's speed had increased!
Thinking of this, Naoki immediately had an answer in his heart, it was Ancient Power that boosted all of Aerodactyl's abilities!
In mid-air, Aerodactyl's speed had clearly surpassed that of Flutter Mane; its wings were coated with a layer of white light, then suddenly collided with Flutter Mane.
Flutter Mane was directly sent flying.
Aerodactyl's form didn't pause for a moment, immediately launching a pursuit of Flutter Mane.
Ghost Type Pokemon, huh? In that case, use this move! Lance shouted, "Crunch!"
"Roar!"
Aerodactyl let out a roar, then opened its bloody maw, biting hard on Flutter Mane's body.
