Fallarbor Gym, rear garden.

After returning here, Terrance immediately released Tyranitar.

"I never expected that little chubby guy from back then to become so powerful."

Kotoko leaned against a tree that had been transplanted into the garden and spoke casually.

When Larvitar had first arrived at Fallarbor Gym, it could barely even walk and often stumbled over itself, looking incredibly clumsy and honest. Now that Larvitar had evolved into the fierce-faced Tyranitar, it wasn’t strange for Kotoko to feel this way.

"That’s called heavyweight, not chubby," Terrance corrected.

Tyranitar nodded repeatedly after realizing what he meant.

A heavyweight Pokémon—just hearing the name sounded great. It was the kind of title that could intimidate opponents.

"Tyra!!!"

Tyranitar looked toward Kotoko and couldn’t help speaking up.

"Hmm... Tyranitar says becoming lighter is just a matter of a thought for it. No need to envy Roto."

"Envy?" Kotoko rolled her eyes and continued, "So how were the examination results?"

"I’m not too sure either. Let’s just ask Tyranitar itself. Nurse Joy said that a new organ appeared next to the Float Stone organ inside your body. You can feel it, right?"

"If you can feel it, try to see if you can activate it."

Hearing Terrance’s suggestion, Tyranitar innocently tried to scratch its head, but its arms were too short to reach. It could only gesture awkwardly instead, indicating that it would give it a try.

Having grown a new organ inside its body before, Tyranitar was already used to it.

It was worth mentioning that because its body had grown larger again, Tyranitar now needed to consume more Float Stones to fully master the most perfect extreme-light mode. However, thanks to its previous experience and accumulation, it could currently move around normally like an ordinary Tyranitar. It just couldn’t temporarily enter that extremely light state.

"Tyranitar frequently uses its Float Stone organ. It shouldn’t be unfamiliar with how to mobilize this newly formed organ."

Watching Tyranitar stand still with a serious expression, Terrance also grew tense.

After a while, Tyranitar began to gather a sandstorm, countless grains of sand appearing around it.

"Is it related to the sandstorm?" Terrance guessed.

Tyranitar’s change made Kotoko glance over slightly. She spoke to Terrance, "Its speed in gathering a sandstorm is pretty good. The environment around Fallarbor Town isn’t exactly suitable for sandstorm weather."

"This speed is actually much slower than when it normally gathers a sandstorm, but the situation doesn’t seem that simple," Terrance said slowly.

Soon, under Terrance’s watchful gaze, Tyranitar suddenly dispersed the sandstorm, then began gathering it again.

This time, the speed of condensation increased slightly compared to before.

"Beep~beep, Terrance, the energy fluctuations around us are changing. The sandstorm energy is gradually becoming denser, Roto," Rotom Pokédex said in surprise.

"Display the fluctuation ratio."

As Tyranitar repeatedly gathered and dispersed the sandstorm, the proportion of sandstorm energy within Fallarbor Gym became denser each time. By now, it was impossible for Terrance not to notice.

Through Tyranitar’s repeated attempts, Terrance and Rotom Pokédex roughly understood the function of this organ.

"Related to the speed and intensity of sandstorm formation... In that case, doesn’t that mean Tyranitar has grown an organ similar to a ’Smooth Rock’ inside its body?"

Terrance spoke in astonishment.

"Tyranitar, Smooth Rock?" Kotoko heard Terrance’s guess and a trace of helplessness appeared on her face. "Tyranitar itself is already a favorite of sandstorms. If a Tyranitar with the Sand Stream Ability also has a Smooth Rock that can provide amplification anytime... Is this really how you train Pokémon? Do you have any awareness at all as a Bug-type Gym Leader?"

"That really has nothing to do with me... But you did remind me, Cutiefly should be able to evolve at any time now, right?"

While Tyranitar kept trying, Terrance thought of the Cutiefly.

With Altaria’s Fairy Aura having already drawn out their potential, they had actually been able to evolve since they first arrived in Fallarbor Town. Terrance had simply slowed their growth, since they were still young.

"Mm." Kotoko nodded.

At that moment, Tyranitar moved again. This time, when it waved its arms, aside from the spot where Terrance, Kotoko, and the Rotom Pokédex were standing, nearly the entire rear garden was covered by the sandstorm.

Those Bug-type Pokémon resting, playing, or secretly watching in the rear garden were all swept up by the sandstorm, suffering an entirely undeserved disaster.

"Butter~free"

"Bee~drill"

The next moment, Butterfree and Beedrill flew over with dark expressions. But when they saw Tyranitar’s fierce gaze, they slunk away dejectedly.

"Tyra!!!!"

At this moment, Tyranitar’s expression suddenly relaxed, revealing a delighted look.

It had already managed to perfectly control this second stone-like organ.

Aside from the amplification of the sandstorm, Tyranitar was still somewhat hesitant, because it sensed that when it activated this organ, its body was also undergoing subtle changes.

As for what those changes were, Tyranitar wasn’t sure yet.

"Don’t rush it. Let’s observe it together with the Rotom Pokédex," Terrance said with a sigh of relief. "I don’t think it’s a bad effect."

Adamite was a product of the energy radiation from the sandstorm core. Since Tyranitar—beloved by sandstorms—had swallowed it, it was hard to imagine that anything negative would result.

...

...

By the time the day arrived for the battle with Mr. Brandon, Altaria, Ninetales, and Mismagius had already nearly finished their coordination training.

At the same time, the Rotom Pokédex had also detected all the effects the second organ had on Tyranitar.

Aside from increasing the speed and intensity with which Tyranitar could gather sandstorms, its mastery over Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-type—those closely tied to sandstorm weather—had also improved to a certain extent.

The changes brought about by activating the second organ made Terrance think of an Ability.

Sand Force: During a sandstorm, the power of Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-type moves increases.

This special ability was practically the perfect match for sandstorms.

"Interesting. In that case, Tyranitar truly deserves to be the overlord in sandstorm weather," Terrance said thoughtfully as he looked at the Rotom Pokédex’s analysis.

Now it seemed that by relying on the sandstorm weather secret technique, and once Tyranitar mastered the Float Stone organ, together with this Sand Force organ, it could already become one of his main forces in the Champion League. Even against Pokémon that had stepped into the top-tier, it wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

"In the next Champion League battle, Tyranitar will take the lead. It’s time for it to show its power."

Back when Tyranitar was still a Pupitar, it had been beaten terribly in the Champion League, and Terrance had been helpless about it. But from now on, Tyranitar should be able to reclaim its former glory.

With only a few days left until the Champion League, Terrance’s top priority was to head to the location of the Battle Pyramid, intending to meet with Mr. Brandon.
