Michael's Hariyama

==Biography==
Hariyama debuted as a Makuhita just before the second round of the Aster Discharge. He was sitting in a sauna some other Pokemon and he shared glances with Yazmyne's Elekid. Little did they know, Makuhita and Elekid were to battle the next day. At first Elekid did not move, at Yazmyne's command, and Makuhita landed a Force Palm and Arm Thrust attacks, which led him to be paralyzed by Elekid's Static ability. Makuhita was unable to move properly for the rest of the battle, and he was quickly beaten up by Elekid, being finished by a Focus Punch.
Makuhita reappeared in Michael's gym battle against Aster Town's Lily in The Bitter Flowers of a Rivalry. The night before the battle, however, Makuhita was being trained harshly by Michael and he was not taken to the Pokemon Center later, leading him to be tired during the match. Makuhita battled Lily's Sunflora after Snorunt was defeated. Makuhita met the same fate after being blasted by a Solar Power-enhanced Solar Beam when tried to attack with Ice Punch.
Makuhita evolved into Hariyama some time before the Wild Rose Masquerade where he battled in the first round with Croconaw. They battled Dante's Beedrill and Heracross and Hariyama was shown to make excellent use of his bulky body to withstand and Aerial Ace and Twinneedle attacks from before defeating Beedrill with Ice Punch while Croconaw defeated Heracross. He was then used in the finals against Yazmyne's Baltoy and Dragonair with his new ally, Donphan. The two battled well, but Baltoy and Dragonair were to battle as they pleased and they demonstrated teamwork without commands. Eventually, Hariyama and Donphan were defeated.
