The moment the mysterious singing voice echoed out, Sato, whose head suddenly felt drowsy, immediately opened his eyes, ending his meditation.
He then channeled his psychic power within the to resist the intrusion, swiftly suppressing the sleepiness brought on by the mysterious melody.
"What a terrifying song… If one keeps listening, it can deeply lure and hypnotize any creature lacking strong willpower."
Sato, unsettled, used his psychic sensing ability to scan the outside of the clay hut and instantly detected an unusual disturbance among a large number of wild Pokémon and desert creatures. His heart sank at the realization.
Shortly after, he noticed something wrong with his teammate beside him—Thomas. Under the influence of this enchantingly seductive melody, Thomas's eyes gradually dulled, and he began to stand up in a trance, walking unconsciously toward the hut's exit.
Clearly, this elite Team Rocket rookie did not possess the same strong mental fortitude as Sato, and his not-so-strong willpower was quickly crumbling before the sustained temptation of the strange singing voice. Just like the wild Pokémon outside, he was now trying to mindlessly move toward the source of the sound.
"Thomas! Wake up! Don't give in!"
Sato tried shouting and even slapped Thomas hard across the face, but nothing could wake him. In the end, with no other option, he had to knock Thomas out cold to keep him from wandering off.
What annoyed Sato was that the owner of this mysterious singing voice didn't stop even after drawing in so many wild Pokémon and creatures. Instead, they sang louder and with even more enthusiasm.
Judging by the growing volume of the voice, Sato quickly realized that the singer was headed in their direction. Using his psychic sensing, he finally caught sight of the figure within the swirling sandstorm—
It was a Flygon, the Pokémon known across the world as the The Desert Spirit.
"So it's a Flygon… No wonder the song is so hypnotic. That's its signature hunting technique."
Sato's expression shifted with realization as he confirmed the identity of the mysterious singer in the storm.
But when he noticed that this powerful and well-developed Flygon seemed to sense his probing and was now glaring malevolently in the hut's direction, his face darkened.

Sato, highly perceptive as always, quickly deduced from the Flygon's expression and posture that he had now become the target. Most likely, the Flygon's hostility stemmed from Sato's interference in its hunt.
"That makes sense… Since Thomas fell under the influence, by all rights he already belonged to Flygon. Me stepping in would naturally provoke its ire."
Watching the aggressive Flygon charging toward the clay hut through the sandstorm, Sato sighed in resignation.
He was quite familiar with desert-dwelling Pokémon like Flygon. A Ground/Dragon-type, Flygon was a dragon Pokémon with formidable strength.
And now, with the sandstorm still raging outside, its power would be significantly amplified in such an environment.
Though Swampert's Ground typing made it immune to sandstorm damage, its Water typing made battling in such a dry, dusty environment a disadvantage.
What made Sato even more frustrated was that Flygon had excellent aerial maneuverability. Even though Swampert had a quadruple-type advantage with Ice Punch, if Flygon remained airborne the entire time, Swampert would be helpless.
As for Crobat and the shiny Beautifly—both of whom could fly—their relatively small size made it extremely risky for them to face off against the large, airborne Flygon in a sandstorm. One wrong move could be fatal.
"Flygon, I mean no harm. He's my companion. I saved him not to offend you. How about this—I'll offer this food as an apology?"
After weighing his options, Sato decided to attempt a peaceful resolution first. He had Swampert push aside the wall of sand at the front of the hut, then took out two roasted venison legs from his storage backpack and used telepathy to communicate with Flygon.
"Raaah!!!"
Unfortunately, Flygon was clearly not interested in Sato's peace offering. It roared in fury and immediately responded with a blazing pillar of fire directed at him.
In fact, Sato's guess was only partially correct. Flygon was targeting him, but not because he interrupted the hunt.
From Flygon's perspective, Sato had stolen its prey.
As a Pokeon with real dragon lineage, Flygon was incredibly proud. Sato's act of rescuing Thomas was a direct challenge to its dominance.
Now, it was thirsting for vengeance.
"You think I'm some helpless and easy prey?! Swampert, use Muddy Water!"
Seeing that Flygon had chosen violence, Sato—wearing his goggles—let his expression go cold and immediately ordered Swampert to counterattack.
"Swamp!"
Swampert needed no extra prompting. Outraged that Flygon rejected the truce, it let out a furious roar. A surge of murky water burst from its mouth, colliding head-on with Flygon's Flamethrower.
Water and fire clashed violently, resulting in a massive explosion of energy. A cloud of white steam engulfed the area.
But under the influence of the storm winds and the desert's blistering heat, the steam vanished in seconds, and sand quickly returned to cover the battlefield.
The first clash between Flygon and Swampert ended in a draw.
"Roar!!"
In the next instant, Flygon, enraged that its Flamethrower was blocked, let out another roar. Its wings flared with a dazzling brown light as powerful Rock-type energy erupted from its back.
In that moment, the weakened sandstorm around them surged violently once more. The entire battlefield was swallowed by a swirling vortex of flying sand and stones.
