I don't believe you think that for a moment. It's a battle technique, a complex and new one at that. I shan't be surprised if when you get to go home it'll be something you pick up yourself-- for Gyarados or Pidgeot.

I didn't get them through stricly legal means. That said, they still exist in other regions and you can get 'em legitimately, it's just harder than it would be.
