"Um Mr. Silph? You have a challenger here...one um...Pokkenger was it?" the receptionist looked up from her desk and stared at the costumed superhero who sat in the waiting room kicking his feet into the air. he looked back at her and gave a thumbs up telling her that she did indeed get the name correct. the receptionist nodded back. "yes i'll send him in right now. just head on through the doors and you'll be seen for your challenge shortly mr...pokkenger." was she really going to refer to him as that? that sounded so childish!

pokkenger bowed to the receptionist and pushed his way through the doors. just as they were about to close he popped his head back in to give the woman at the front desk a wave and an audible "thank you." before disappearing behind the doors again.

as he entered the arena kazimir wished he could wipe the sweat off from inside of his helmet. he couldn't believe that he was doing this, a gym challenge in his costume. yeah it was "pokkenger" who's name was spreading throughout all of hoenn but something about this felt disingenuous. how it did that he couldn't quite tell you since he and pokkenger were the same person with the same beliefs. also the same manners when addressing a gym challenge.

"hey mr gym leader! your friendly neighborhood pokkenger is here to battle ya!"

[attr="class","spiral"] Fernando is actually in his Gym for once. With the recent fame of the Pokkenger, Fernando cannot allow the opportunity to see him battle escape him. Amidst the raid, moments of triumph and failure are lost among the chaos. Out here, in his own battlefield, Fernando allows no talent to escape. His own personal Silph Scope rest behind the ridge of his ear and he sees the suited vigilante in double vision.

"Good afternoon, Pokkenger." Referring to him as such still feels weird but Fernando allows the transgression to pass. He has one job and one job only. As long as the battle provides some useful data then he'll stomach the disgraceful theatrics with reserved judgement. "Ready to take on your Two on Two challenge?"

"wouldn't be here if i wasn't y'know!" his bravado was on fire today. maybe it was because this was a battle and not some mission to save lives, the severity of it was greatly reduced, however he knew he couldn't take it lightly. he was doing a gym battle, and if stormy proved anything to him they were just as tough. so he knew that he couldn't let his guard down or pull any punches, it was time for an offensive strategy.

two capsules were pulled from his belt and tossed onto the field, "c'mon out fellas!" from within erupted two monsters, his fierce incineroar and his deadly feraligatr, both of them flexing their strength. tigger let his stripes and biceps bulge as he bulked up with a flexing pose meanwhile kaiju was so excited to battle he couldn't help but do a dragon dance with a smile on his face. "hope these two don't scare ya, they're great at taking down big foes, and your just another guy ta topple over."

tldr;
    + incineroar used bulk up (atk/def up!)
    + feraligatr used dragon dance (atk/spd up!)

[attr="class","spiral"] Fernando smiles with confidence built on experience.

"We'll see about that."

Fernando already has his Pokemon ready. Two capsules fit neatly between his fingers and he allows both of them to fall beside him. The dynamic duo of ghost Pokemon take up the space beside him and they rotate to their end of the field. The Aegislash stands out in front as the vanguard and it twirls in place, hilt aimed upwards as the blade shines with the sheen of a SWORDS DANCE.

Behind it is the Golurk that starts to fade from view as the PHANTOM FORCE takes effect.

"Battle routine set."

Golurk may have disappeared but its essence does not. Invisible to the naked eye, the sound of its steps can be heard stomping within the battlefield. It clamors among a variety of spots that make no sense considering the Pokemon's size. Traveling in the ether contrast deeply with the normal plane.

Fernando waits for the opponent to react.

"Execute."

"uwaaaaaah it disappeared?!" seeing the giant golem just suddenly fade into the shadows was a nerve wracking sight. however the team of the water crocodile a fire cat weren't going to go down easy.

"worry 'bout it when it comes fellas, and take down that little kitchen knife over there!" the two nodded in unision and with a deep breath the feraligatr followed his partner in charging the lone sword that was left behind by its own partner. kaz's eyes scanned the battlefield for any sign of the other ghost, if his pokemon wouldn't be able to notice it fast enough then he should be able to give them a heads up.

kaiju stopped a few steps behind tigger and reared his head back as water began to squirt out from the edges of his teeth and his chest swelled before expelling it in a powerful hydro pump that surged forward to rust the blade of the sword. tigger favored the personal approach of a fight and was eager to prove that a sword's blade wasn't as sharp as his claws. extending them to their fullest the cat began to spin on his heels until he was a twister of dark flames that spewed from his belt and circled the sword as kaiju's water surged forward and the incineroar came in like a mad spinning top with his darkest of lariats from the aegislash's behind. a pincer attack to sandwhich their foe would prove that they were the strongest duo!

tldr;
    + incineroar used darkest lariart on aegislash
    + feraligatr used hydro pump on aegislash

[attr="class","spiral"] Their combination is interesting and flanking the otherwise stationary Aegislash is by all means a good idea. However, their attacks find no purchase against Fernando's bulwark. The Aegislash raises its shield and STANCE CHANGES in time to use KING'S SHIELD, protecting it in a mystic veil that holds strong against both their attacks. Those that challenge the king should know when to take a knee; physical strikes against it will feel their subsequent attempts dull in comparison, a consequence of the stamina used to exert themselves against the KING'S SHIELD.

"Aegislash is near impervious when STANCE CHANGES," Fernando comments, pointing a hint toward the nature of the challenge.

What he doesn't address is his missing Golurk that appears on the other end of Incineroar, sandwiching it between Fernando's Pokemon. Their pincer attack becomes undone by the Pokemon's maneuver but it doesn't fade back into view with a simple strike. No, it tears through the PHANTOM FORCE at an incredible linear speed for the Pokemon's size, packing HIGH HORSEPOWER in a direct route to ram straight through the Incineroar and into his Aegislash. Taking the extra time to position appropriately with the PHANTOM FORCE will allow it to grab onto the Aegislash during its made charge with ease.

They may not know the extent of their opponent's abilities, but working together is quite easy with practice.

water splashed against a powerful magical shield as the hydro pump seemed to have no effect on even causing the blade to stagger. tigger's claws found the same problem with the added bonus (depends on who you ask) that his muscles felt like they were suddenly tired after a tough workout as he felt his spirit drop. things were looking dire for the duo especially with the golurk popping up from behind tigger and coming straight at him like a missle. underneath the mask kazimir just smiled.

"everything can break if you hit it hard enough! like with a TERRIBLE TSUNAMI! THAT GOLURK BETTER WATCH ITSELF!" the mention of the golem pokemon was caught by kaiju who saw the golem coming towards his partner, lucky for him with his boosted speed he was able to sprint and jump between it and tigger with his back towards the golem and his tail swishing around as a vortex of water swirled around it as it aimed to deter the golurk with its presence or slap it silly with its aqua tail.

however that wasn't the end of it. tigger knew the what the other half of pokkenger's words meant and so did the kaiju. both of them smiled as the incineroar grabbed the feraligatr by the wrists and dug his heels into the ground before spinning in place, his muscles bulging as he swung the large gator with him with a brutal swing and the aqual tail of kaiju suddenly became part of a twister of an attack aiming to hit both the golurk and the aegislash with its now wider reach and boosted attack strength.

tldr;
    + incineroar's attack decreases!
    + feraligatr uses aqua tail thanks to increased speed on golurk
    + incineroar uses brutal swing to swing feraligatr's aqua tail around in a twister!
    + the combo terrible tsunami aims at golurk and aegislash!

[attr="class","spiral"] Once the HYDRO PUMP and DARKEST LARIAT leave their mark on the KING'S SHIELD, the Aegislash prepares to be handled by its partner. It's a practiced routine that makes up the nature of this challenge but that runs on the assumption that the Golurk will rampage straight through their enemies. However, the Aegislash does not simply levitate in place, idle, waiting for success. It remains weary, spinning into a more favorable position to be wielded, adapting to the situation.

Which is good because not everything goes as planned.

Kazimir's Feraligator is fast but it still has to navigate around the Aegislash in order to cover its flanking partner. In a solid motion, it situations itself between the Golurk and Incineroar. However, it does not leave alone. Aegislash remains in hot PURSUIT, following it and ending up in a near by position to sneak in an attack while the Pokemon focuses on maneuvering and dealing with another threat. This puts it relatively nearby and facing the Golurk.

Which doesn't stop speeding toward them. The Feraligator is fast but so is the Golurk. Between it's mass and inertia, coming full stop proves impossible. All it can do is brace for impact, focusing its weight toward its front to provide the most blunt damage that it can in a full-on collision. An arm reaches out for the Aegislash and it expects all of the Pokemon to dogpile into a hot mess.

But the Feraligator uses AQUA TAIL to redirect it into another direction. The blow lands cleanly and the Pokemon is pivoted against its own wish, spinning at the curved angle of the swipe and continues to barrel off in its new direction at the same speed, Aegislash in tow.

The Golurk continues to speed off and away from its opponents, eventually coming to a stop and well out of the range of their melee-based combo attack. Several meters away, they stare down their opponents. This time the Golurk wields the Aegislash as a HOLD ITEM, prepared to attack.

the masked hero pumped his fist into the air as he saw that his boys combination actually managed to work and push back their foes. still he couldn't give himself a second of lax activity, this was a gym battle after all. he needed to be both cautious and crazy in order to win this fight.

when the golurk and aegislash grouped together they did something that kazimir was surprised to see them do. only because he thought he was pretty original with the idea. the large golemn was no holding the sword pokemon as an actual sword, something kaz did when he went out with his own doublade when he brought it along with him. this was good though, kaz knew the strengths and weaknesses of such a tactic. keep the pressure on but from a distance.

"don't let them near ya boys!" the cat and gator nodded in unision as they took a shoulder to shoulder stance with one another and glared at the golem before launching their attacks. as instructed they were going to keep their distance so a flamethrower from tigger and another hydro pump from kaiju out to do the trick at keeping it from advancing on them.

tldr;
    + incineroar uses flamethrower on golurk!
    + feraligatr uses hydro pump on golurk!

[attr="class","spiral"]Now that's a proper tactic. There are multiple ways to deal with this challenge. Avoiding melee combat is the most obvious. Although resorting to abusing ranged attack and proper spacing isn't the only way to handle it, it's the simplest. However, KING'S SHIELD allows the Golurk to maintain pressure as it closes that same distance with HIGH HORSEPOWER.

It's an uphill battle that reinforces proper spacing by retroactively pursuing the enemies every time KING'S SHIELD comes up. And in the event it fails, Golurk can rely on PHANTOM FORCE to buy time for their next advancement. Kazimir's Pokemon will spend the majority of the battle running, firing off their attacks whenever they see the opportunity, unless they want to hear the painful clang of their physical attacks being walled off by Fernando's Aegislash.

Eventually, his Pokemon succumb, and Kazimir becomes the second to conquer the double based challenge.

"Well that's certainly one way to handle that challenge." Fernando's pleasantly amused, content with how Kazimir cleared the challenge. "Hopefully that'll reinforce the value of maintaining distance against melee eccentric opponents onto your Pokemon."

Fernando plucks his badge from his pocket and presents it to the challenger turned conquerer.

"Here's proof you understand battle theory at an advance level. I present you the Silph badge."
