Skarmory dived in close reading its Metal Claw attack as the Riolu began to get prepared for the attack. Skarmory's face grew fierce because it it knew at this point that it would have a foe who was willing to play with it. Skarmory's Metal claw collided straight with Riolu's Force Palm as the attacks repelled each other. Skarmory flew towards the air where it felt that it could not be struck by this Riolu. Now that it has a moment to breath and gain perspective it decided to attack again. Skarmory readied another Metal Claw and aimed it at the Riolu again.

Meanwhile Kite stood at the other end of the boat. He gently petted the Dratini as an alternate form of shaking hands to say good bye to the pokemon who politely acknowledged he was there. Kite had seen a terrible situation. His newly caught pokemon who he let freely fly about had taken the liberty to hunt down another pokemon. He wouldn't be surprised if the crew asked Kite to fly the rest of the way to Sinnoh. Thinking of that the island had come into view. That may be good since his ravaging pokemon didn't have time to do much damage but he better get over there sooner or later before Skar ends up getting beat badly by a tiny Riolu.
