The arena was filled with some hoots and hollers at the sight of Aggron, seemingly unscathed by the Draco Meteor. Still, there was more silence and Forrest scoured his brain as to what could have transpired to have empowered Aggron to such a degree.
	Forrest's head then began to buzz as the sound of the crowd grew louder, yet muffled. It was then Forrest understood that the Metal Sound never actually stopped from the beginning of the battle. They'd managed to train for that maneuver to work past the audible capacities of most Pokemon. Initially impressed, Forrest dug his feet into the sand around him and refocused.
	"Go," Forrest said in a level tone that held a sense of intensity.
	Flygon rushed Aggron again, though without any sand to enhance his speed. Aggron shot out another Flash Cannon, which Flygon swirled around with relative ease. The giant ant lion stopped just out of the tank's reach who prepared a metal Claw. Instead, Flygon splashed more sand at Aggron, affecting his speed and accuracy even further. Aggron charged with an Iron Head to which Flygon simply Dragon Danced away. Aggron shot out another Magnet Bomb, growing frustrated with the teasing. Having witnessed enough of them, Flygon managed to fly in such a way that made the orbs collide against each other. As he made it out of the blast radius, solid rock from deep under the arena shot up around Flygon, grinding against his body and slamming into him.
	"Fuck," Forrest said under a deep breath. "Rage Pulse!"
	Though he couldn't see Flygon, the stones began to rumble and slide away. Aggron was preparing another Flash Cannon, knowing this wasn't the end of the battle. Blue and purple energy gleamed from between the cracks before the structure exploded. Flygon was encased in the energy. The Flash Cannon connected with the viscous cocoon of Dragon energy, the orb neutralizing the attack. Aggron cut off the attack, noting the limit of its offensive capabilities. Flygon shot out of the cocoon and allowed it to dissipate. Aggron let lose another Magnet Bomb, which was reacted to in the same manner as before.
	Realizing their efforts toward Special maneuvers now lacked efficacy, Aggron performed an Autotomize while Flygon fell into another Roost. The crowd screamed and cheered, clearly impressed with the show, thus far. They both rested for a few moments before breaking into another offense. Aggron worked on another Iron Defense while Flygon Dragon Danced in the air.
	Forrest knew another Dragon Pulse or Draco Meteor would prove ineffective. The rest of this battle would be hand-to-hand if they wanted to get anywhere. And this was what made Forrest uneasy. He'd hoped to be able to utilize ranged and melee tactics, but he couldn't think of a way to reverse the effects of the Metal Sound. He knew Aggron was capable of the technique, but he would have had Flygon work against it with Hyper Voice. But it was too late at this point. Now he could only hope Flygon's speed would keep him alive.
