Riolu got back to her feet but she is hurt, that attack had a lot of power behind it, all the damage that Aggron took from Riolu's Close Combat doubled and landed on Riolu.

Julian 'A good sort out plan, Byron was really confident in his Aggron to take all that hit from Riolu, he planned an attack that Riolu cannot dodge' ​​

That attack was indeed very good and Julian was not expecting it, Byron's Aggron knew a move that it couldn't learn in its level, he could tell that Byron has a pokemon that could take him to the Elite four right there.

Julian "It's just one attack, if you give up now, you will never achieve your dream"

Julian said to Riolu.

Riolu gritted her teeth and took her stance.

Julian "Believe in me and nothing is impossible"

Riolu nodded and focused on her opponent.

Byron "This won't be so simple, Aggron use Earthquake"

Julian "Catapult yourself towards Aggron"

As Aggron smashed its leg on the ground send a huge amount of energy into it bringing an earthquake, but Riolu suddenly made herself a huge hammer and slammed it on the ground causing her to fly high going right towards Aggron.

She spun and swung her hammer and slammed it on Aggron's chest causing another loud bang, the hit sent Aggron several steps back as it held its chest in pain.

Julian "Just believe and the victory is yours, keep going finish your opponent"

Riolu did as Julian said, she started to move faster and swing harder, her hammer slammed very body part causing Aggron to go back to its knee and when even she felt power pulsing inside Aggron she would back off so she won't get hit by another of those Metal Burst.

Julian "Hidden Power"

Whenever she backs away Julian calls for a Hidden Power so that not even a second is wasted, as the Hidden Power hits it creates a huge blast sending everything in the battlefield flying, everything in the battlefield is destroyed and cracked.

As the smoke goes away Aggron is revealed still standing, it seems to have gone back to its feet after taking that hit, it won't go down even after being blasted by so many attacks, now even Julian is impressed by the potential that this Aggron has, if he trained it, it would have been a monster just like his other pokemons.

Byron "Your pokemon is too fast for us to take down. Since you keep attacking I think its time to rise our defense, let's see if you can bring Aggron down after this, this will be a battle of endurance"

Byron said and suddenly pulled out a flashing item, when Julian looked at it carefully he noticed that its a Key Stone.

Julian 'Wait he is trying to Mega Evolve?'

Julian thought and looked closely at Aggron finally noticing the Mega Stone, it was actually hidden under Aggron's massive Jaw right below its chin.

As Julian expected Byron wanted to Mega Evolve.

Byron "Aggron let's show them that you are not going down so easily"

Aggron roared as light seeped out of its Mega Stone and fused with the light coming off from the KeyStone, soon Aggron started to change as it grew bigger and more powerful.

The light that covered Aggron disappeared and revealed Mega Aggron.

Riolu looked at this giant in front of her in surprise, she has never seen a pokemon mega evolve in real life so its the first time for her.

Julian "Trust me, it is bigger now, it will be harder for Aggron to hit you now"

Riolu nodded.

Julian "Let's go Blaze Kick"

With his command, Riolu rushed towards Mega Aggron as her feet were on fire.

Byron "Let's not just wait for them, use Earthquake"

Mega Aggron slammed its leg on the ground sending another tremor on the ground causing it to shake.

Julian "Catapult once again"

Riolu created her hammer and slammed it on the ground and threw herself towards Aggron, she shot towards Aggron at high speed, her legs on flames as she tried to land a powerful kick, but as she got close to Aggron she finally saw how big Aggron really got and caused her to panic, she saw this huge monster looking down on her with those intimidating eyes.

With this distraction the power behind her kick disappeared, she landed the kick but nothing happened, Mega Aggron didn't feel an itch.

Byron "Now, catch Riolu"

As the attack took no effect Byron got ready, he was already planning to catch Riolu, with the Mega Evolution Aggron's Defense is now of the charts, Aggron will have to take many huge attacks if any pokemon wants to bring it down.

Aggron grabbed Riolu's leg and easily and hung her upside down, seeing this Julian frowned, he realized that Riolu got intimidated by her opponent.

He knew Riolu's character, she is timid and shy, but during a battle she cannot be like this, it will be a huge disadvantage for her, so he has been trying very hard to build his trust with her, for her to rely on him so that she won't be held behind by her nature.

Riolu tried to struggle but it was useless, Aggron's grip is very tight.

Byron "Let's finish this, use Heavy Slam"

Mega Aggron slammed Riolu on the ground and got ready to use Heavy Slam. If this attack lands it will be all over for Riolu.

Julian "Riolu listen to me, if you get intimidated by an opponent at this level you will never become the champion, trust me and I will lead you to your dreams, you don't want to disappoint Shofie right?"

Shofie her previous trainer dream of becoming the champion with Riolu by her side but she couldn't make it, now it's up to Riolu to achieve both of their dreams.

Hearing Julian Riolu looked at Julian seeing him nodding his head telling her to believe in him, she nodded and tried to get back to her feet, Aggron got ready to jump but suddenly Riolu started to shine blinding Aggron and stopping it from using Heavy Slam.

Riolu started to Evolve.
