No matter how Sandslash struggled, it still lost to Rhydon.
However, overall, Flint was much stronger than before.
This made Takeo even more satisfied.
And Flint's next action made Takeo very satisfied, "I still lost, let's go again."
He released another Pokémon, a Senior Level Marowak.
Unlike Sandslash and Graveler, although its body was smaller, this Marowak was full of fighting spirit!
The bone boomerang in its hand spun continuously, aiming at Rhydon!
Rhydon snorted disdainfully; although it had fought two consecutive battles, it was still in good condition, and fighting three hundred more rounds was not a problem!
Marowak attacked first, its bone boomerang drawing a beautiful arc in the air, heading straight for Rhydon's head.
Giovanni chuckled coldly, "Dodge, then use Tackle!"
Under Giovanni's command, Rhydon merely tilted its head slightly, dodging the attack.
Immediately after, it charged forward fiercely, its body moving swiftly like a heavy tank, using Tackle.
Flint calmly instructed Marowak: "Don't be afraid, we'll use Iron Head!"
The bone on Marowak's head gleamed with a metallic luster, then it leaped up, clashing head-on with Rhydon.
The two forces collided in the air, producing a deafening roar.
However, Rhydon was, after all, massive, and its strength was even more astonishing; when it came to strength, it certainly wasn't afraid of Marowak.
So Marowak clearly suffered a disadvantage in this collision, being sent flying with just one hit.
But Marowak was not discouraged by this; it quickly adjusted its posture, spinning a few times in mid-air before landing steadily on the ground.
"Fling!"
Under Flint's command, it attacked again. It threw the bone in its hand like a shuriken at Rhydon.
Giovanni smiled faintly, "Horn Attack!"
Rhydon snorted coldly, energy gathering in its hard head, its constantly spinning large horn met the bone boomerang.
With a loud "bang," the bone boomerang was bounced away, while Rhydon merely shook its head slightly, as if it had not been affected at all.
Seeing this, Marowak's eyes flashed with surprise, and after catching the bounced-back bone with a backhand, it temporarily distanced itself from Rhydon.
Seeing this, Flint immediately said, "Another Iron Head!"
Marowak immediately gathered all its strength, preparing to use Iron Head again to attack Rhydon.
"Sandstorm!"
Just then, Giovanni suddenly commanded Rhydon to use Sandstorm again.
Immediately, the entire field was filled with dust, and visibility became blurred.
Marowak, which had originally intended to attack Rhydon, instantly lost its target.
It groped its way forward in the dust, trying to find Rhydon's position.
Before it could find Rhydon, Rhydon had already used the cover of the dust to quietly approach Marowak.
By the time Marowak finally spotted Rhydon, it was already too late.
Looking at the huge shadow that loomed over it, it could only tighten its bone club, preparing to meet the attack.
Giovanni then shouted, "Earthquake!"
Rhydon lifted its broad foot, then stomped heavily on the ground, using Earthquake.
Boom!
The entire field seemed to tremble, and Marowak was shaken off balance, completely unable to stand steady.
Seizing this opportunity, Rhydon charged forward fiercely, using Tackle.
However, Marowak was not so easily dealt with; it skillfully dodged Rhydon's attack with a quick sidestep and immediately counterattacked, using Bone Boomerang.
A dark shadow flashed by, and the Bone Boomerang accurately struck Rhydon's side!
Bang!
Rhydon, momentarily careless, took the full force of the attack.
Its massive body staggered back several steps, and a pained expression appeared on its face.
This was a good opportunity, and Flint quickly had Marowak use Focus Energy to boost its attack power, intending to finish off Rhydon with one move.
As Marowak let out a low roar, a faint glow began to emanate from its body, indicating that its attack power had clearly increased.
Giovanni was not flustered; he commanded Rhydon to continue using Sandstorm to obscure Marowak's vision, which also gave Rhydon time to recover.
In an instant, the entire field was filled with sand, Marowak's vision became blurry again, and Rhydon once again disappeared into the sand, as if it had merged into it.
Marowak vigilantly looked around, trying to find Rhydon's position.
Soon, a huge figure suddenly burst out of the sand, it was Rhydon!
It used Horn Attack, its massive horn like a sharp blade, aiming directly for Marowak's vital points.
Giovanni stroked his chin, "Sometimes you have to admit the charm of Sandstorm."
Although Marowak reacted quickly, Rhydon's speed was too fast, coupled with the interference of the sand, it was ultimately hit by this attack, and its entire body was sent flying.
Marowak cried out in pain, suffering a huge wound on its body from Rhydon's large horn, bleeding profusely!
Although severely wounded, Marowak did not give up; it struggled to get up, its eyes gleaming with an indomitable light.
Flint was also loudly encouraging it: "Marowak, don't give up! You can do it!"
Encouraged by its trainer, Marowak once again mustered its courage.
"Hmph, a spent force." Giovanni clearly couldn't stand such a passionate scene, he shouted to Rhydon: "Finish it off, Drill Run!"
Rhydon stomped its feet heavily, then raised its head and charged towards Marowak.
Flint gritted his teeth and shouted, "Bone Rush!"
Marowak looked at Rhydon charging towards it, took a deep breath, and then used all its might to launch its final attack on Rhydon—Bone Rush.
Its bone club, wielded with full force, instantly created streaks of afterimages!
Bang bang bang!
The powerful bone club continuously struck Rhydon's body, emitting muffled thuds.
Rhydon's body was already oozing a lot of blood!
However, it was also very resilient, enduring Marowak's relentless attacks, and then its full-power Drill Run slammed heavily into Marowak's body.
Bang!
Marowak was sent flying by the hit, then fell heavily to the ground, and ultimately could not hold on, losing its ability to battle.
However, it was worth it.
Because Rhydon also collapsed to the ground, similarly losing its ability to battle.
