When Edge later encountered  at , they were faced with the  , which was under the control of Team Rocket. After Edge's Gyarados was unable to defeat the Legendary , and Blaine realized that to stand a chance against the  Pokémon, they needed a Flying-type of their own. When seeing Edge's Old Amber, Blaine sent him to the Island's laboratory, where Edge was able to revive the Amber into an Aerodactyl.

Defeated by Moltres, Blaine struggles valiantly as he reaffirms his urgent mission: to capture his escaped creation,. Just as Moltres attempts to finish him off, Edge makes his appearance and rescues Blaine with Aerodactyl; the congratulating Edge on his success. Countering Moltres's attack, Aerodactyl succeeds in crippling Moltres's left wing with Hyper Beam, and the Rocket grunts beat a hasty retreat.

When Edge later met up with Blaine again, he joined him in a battle against the Legendary Genetic Pokémon. Although Mewtwo seemed practically impossible to stop, Edge finally managed to use Aerodactyl to glide through Mewtwo's tornado in order to get close enough to send Pikachu in with Blaine's, successfully catching Mewtwo.

Aerodactyl battled against Giovanni at the. When Edge was pushed into a corner, he managed to call Aerodactyl out and attack Giovanni's with Hyper Beam, knocking him out. Giovanni then switched to his type specialty of Pokémon and had his  use  to take Aerodactyl out of the fight.

Personality and Characteristics
Aerodactyl appears to love the outside world, as the first thing he did when he got resurrected was to look outside through the window in Blaine's laboratory. He is shown to be reckless as he often rushes into situations without giving it much thought or concern. He is also very generous as he rushed to help and Edge even though they'd just met moments earlier.
