A Day with Raihan

Scottie headed to the seaside to explore and found Raihan and Marlon having a Pokémon battle.

Dude! You rocked out even here by the sea! You're strong fo' reals!

You're not too bad yourself! We definitely need to do this again sometime!

All right. I gotta make sure to wipe you down real good. We don't want you getting all rusty from the sea breeze.

There we go! All clean! Time for a selfie to commemorate this!

What?! Oh, it's just you. Don't scare me like that, Scottie!

What?! Oh, it's just you. Don't scare me like that, Scottie!

That scare made my picture all blurry. Shame. And I'd just gotten Duraludon all clean and shiny, too!

Yeah. I've got to wipe him down really good or else his body will get rusty.

Yeah. I've got to wipe him down really good or else his body will get rusty.

Duraludon usually live in caves.

Their metal bodies rust easily, so they're not very good around water or sea breezes.

I've gotta be ready to battle in any environment. Where better to train than at a place where I'm at a disadvantage?

Yeah! I've gotta be ready to battle in any environment! That's why this is such good training!

Duraludon's metal body is tough but lightweight, so he's able to move about quickly.

If I can learn to make proper use of Duraludon's abilities on uneven terrain while a sea breeze is blowing, I'll be unstoppable!

You've got to help your partner overcome its weaknesses while working on its strengths. That'll give you more options in battle, you know?

To tell you the truth, I once lost a battle to an opponent who had a terrain advantage...

Is it? To tell you the truth, I once lost a battle to an opponent who had a terrain advantage.

That was a really painful defeat. But I don't want to make the environment an excuse for any battle I lose.

I'm sure Duraludon is excited for this training and eager to get stronger, just like I am!

But why am I talking so much? While I've got you here, Scottie...

Why don't we train together a bit?

Great! But first, let's snag a sweet selfie together!

Of course! But first, let's snag a sweet selfie together!

I can't wait to see what your face looks like after we're done training!
