The blasts shone white over the sand that covered his body. Flygon shrugged off the explosions and twirled through the air in order to collect enough sand to completely hide his body in a vortex of grains. The Sand Dance, a combination of Sandstorm and Dragon Dance, improved his physical strength as well as provided quite the effective barrier for protection.

Aggron set up more Iron Defenses and Hone Claws. However, lashes of sand whipped from Flygon's vortex that splashed across his body. It didn't harm Aggron, physically, but it fell under his armored plates, hindering his movement, as well as falling into his eyes, reversing part of his Hone Claws.

Each knew what the other was attempting to perform. It seemed they could read the others' mind, but this was merely due to the fact they grew up side-by-side most of their lives. They were not at the portion of the battle where they would show off what they'd developed during their time apart, save the Magnet Bomb technique.

Of which, Aggron responded to the Sand Whip by launching two sets of Magnet Bombs. They whistled through the air until they collided with the Sand Vortex. It was dense enough to where it wouldn't break apart. But, the Vortex, along with Flygon, was pushed back a good distance.

At that distance, the Vortex erupted out into a proper Sandstorm. Flygon raced through the airborne sands and twirled with a greater aggression and directly toward Aggron. The Outrage only forced the Sandstorm to push Aggron slightly back and forth. But with the shock to his movement and vision, the Outrage thrashed across Aggron's body. His armor did enough to protect him from the brunt of the damage, but he was successfully knocked onto his back. 

Flygon acted quickly. The sand dropped like it was thrown to the ground. The sky through the dome of the stadium glowed a bluish purple and soon hurled comets onto Aggron as he struggled to find an upright posture. The meteors boomed all around him and burnt the sand into black and ash. His position on the ground sank a considerable distance.

Flygon alit to Roost the damage of the Magnet Bombs while the sandy and black smoke cleared from around Aggron. The armored Pokemon was on his feet and appeared entirely unharmed. This was entirely unlikely for Draco Meteor being a Special maneuver, but it was clear Aggron successfully defended against the attack, somehow.
