Upon reaching the corner of the corridor he was travelling at, he felt the entire ruins shake, dust falling from the ceiling with every violent quake that he has experienced. While he was glad that his Mightyena have not been around to go straight in all enthusiastic like they were invincible in this place, he somehow felt like he should've had them out since the start to warn him of the impending danger looming around the corner.

Turning to see what was causing the ruckus, Kyle saw an armored Pokemon. While he did not care much about Pupitar, there was no saying when it will evolve and thrash the place even further. A Tyranitar inside the Ruins of Alph was unsightly, not only because they did not fit the aesthetic that the place was giving off, but also since old structures and Ground-types that like to shake the earth did not combine well.

Out of all the Pokemon he had, there wasn't really anything he could send out against it and have an advantage, except perhaps his Rhyhorn. It probably wasn't the wisest idea to get another Ground-type in the fray, but he couldn't really leave the Pupitar alone in this place. Sending out the Pokemon, his Rhyhorn's appearance eventually got the wild Pokemon agitated, stirring up a Sandstorm on the closed area.

It didn't affect Rhyhorn much, though Kyle had to cover his mouth with his shirt and an arm pressed against his brows to protect his eyes from the sand. "Drill Run," he mumbled beneath his mouth's cover.

Unaffected by the sands, Rhyhorn charged straight at the Pupitar using his horn as a spear to pierce through the wild Pokemon's defenses. The attack connected, Kyle hearing a grunt of pain coming from its shell, before it increased the intensity of its Sandstorm, blowing Rhyhorn away by sheer intensity. As it created distance once again, a dark energy seemed to envelop it before releasing it in a pulse towards Kyle's Pokemon.

"Get ready for Metal Burst!" he'd instruct. Targeting Rhyhorn's weaker defensive stat was always an option, though Kyle had a workaround with situations such as this.

Rhyhorn endured the wave before glowing in a bright white light. Even with the sands obscuring his vision, the light did contrast too well with the ruins' poorly lit surroundings. He could tell that he wasn't the only one blinded as the Pupitar, which he supposed spent a long enough time in the darkness, was not able to move even before the Metal Burst decimated it.

Kyle got a Great Ball out, unsure if a regular Pokeball will do the trick, and threw it at the Pupitar. Even if they had it defeated, they still won't be getting the Pokemon out of the Ruins of Alph and the battle could even put it at a point where it will be a step closer to being a Tyranitar. Kyle didn't want that. The Ruins of Alph was already creepy enough even without a possible Tyranitar walking on its corridors.
