He's all warmed up now and in short order, you're busily going over the basics of Iron Head with him.
The next hour, you spend practicing it and doing some training into the bargain.
It goes pretty well, up until you're just practicing Iron Head to confirm he's got it.
He pulls the move off flawlessly... and then his headplate cracks and shards fall off.
"Wha..."
Before your eyes, more pieces begin to flake off, before you hurriedly recall Rusty, then Nika and Blitz and race back inside and up to the apartment.
"What's wrong?" Fie asks in concern when she sees the look on your face.
"It's Rusty. We were just practicing Iron Head and his headplate cracked and started flaking off." You explain.
"Oh, he's shedding?" Gareth asks, opening his pokedex before thumbing through to the relevant entry and opening a sub-tab before showing you.
"Yeah, like that." You confirm as you study the pictures.
"Yeah, he'll be doing that for a day or two." Fie says. "Aron like to eat their shed carapace, so make sure you collect it all." She advises. "Also, get him some supplements. I think Justine mentioned that metallurgic formulae are kind of a good guide for developing Arons' carapace. I'll give her a ring and see if she's got any suggestions before I open properly." She says. "Still, there's a specialist store nearby you might want to go hit up after breakfast and I'll shoot a shopping list over to you." She says.
"You're a life saver." You say with feeling as Gareth hands you a plate of food.
"Just doing my job." Fie says modestly.
