As the mimikyu appeared on the battlefield, Pain snorted. Was that it? His power was wasted on this puny looking rag doll. While Pain underestimated his opponent, Oscar had the opposite reaction. His expression grew dire as his foe entered, how could he be so short sighted? Of course she would use a fairy type to counter his dark type, shit now he had a disadvantage. 

He wasn't going to panic though, in fact he soon displayed more resolve. If he could conquer an enemy this powerful, that would prove even further that he was worthy of becoming a Beast. Oscar was given the generous gift of attacking first, and he knew not to waste it. Mimikyu usually could tank the first attack that hits it, so he had to make sure his first attack hit.

Oscar threw out his hand and spoke to his Tyranitar, "Don't you dare think this will be easy, stay focused and don't get cocky!" Pain looked surprised at the implication that this small fry could be a threat, but he decided to trust his trainer and not be foolhardy. Oscar continued, "Likewise, don't let it underestimate you. Earthquake!"

Pain roared as an aura draped over his body, the entirety of his weight shifting toward the ground. An immense shock wave rippled across the mirror, which surprisingly withstood the attack. Fuck was this mirror made of diamond? Nevertheless the shock wave continued, its incredible strength being felt as the room violently shook. Its power, range, and speed made it a perfect opener for what was surely to be an intense fight.

Oscar watched as the Mimikyu's disguise faltered and smirked. Good, now he can focus on actually doing damage. However since the disguise took the brunt of the attack, the mimikyu was free to surge forward toward Pain. Oscar waited for the right moment, but was caught off guard by Katherine's order.

Wood hammer? This little fucker had wood hammer? Shit fuck damn it! Oscar had to react fast or Pain was about to be in a world of--uh pain. "Earthquake hurry!" Still in the same stance as before, Pain easily shifted his weight once more causing yet another shock wave. The mirror vibrated a bit harder this time, apparently not used to this much pressure being applied to it so frequently. 

Oscar winced, he wasn't sure this gambit would pay off. In his mind either end to this scenario worked in his favor: either the mimikyu can't shift its momentum enough to dodge the earthquake in time or it jumps over the earthquake to deliver the attack on an area other than Pain's legs. All that mattered to Oscar was keeping Pain from falling over, with his weight it would take ages for him to get up.

Notes:
Pain used Earthquake again.

Oscar's gambit paid off, but in the worst way possible. The nimble mimikyu launched over the shock wave to deliver a hit, and was now preparing to Play Rough with Pain. Pain towered over the smoke cloud, and his expression was clearly panicked. Oscar winced, "Remember your training Pain! What do we do with fear?"

Pain focused on his time with his master as a pupitar. Early on Oscar taught him that the fear of loss was the number one instigator of defeat. Most had to discipline themselves to overcome their fears, while Pain was born with his own defence mechanism. Pain's expression hardened as dark energy crackled off his body. As mimikyu bounced off him after a successful hit, he roared and released a wave of negative thoughts made physical (Dark Pulse).

The dark pulse dispersed the smoke, and hopefully sent the mimikyu flying. It wouldn't be super effective, but at least Pain would have some space. As the attack ended, Pain began to heave. He had sustained quite a bit of damage, however a look of determination remained on his face. He let out a roar of challenge, indicating he had no intention of giving up. Even with the odds stacked against him. 

Oscar was proud of his Tyranitar. He felt guilty for bringing him into a fight this rough but he was glad that he took the challenge with stride. Oscar had little doubt that this would be a losing battle, but just like Pain he was not going to give up. The both of them were in it until the bitter end.

Shadows began to spread across the mirror, a sight that did nothing to dampen Oscar's resolve. If focused upon though, Pain would surely panic. Luckily he had his master there to calm him. Oscar spoke quickly, "Keep your eyes on the target." Pain reluctantly did so, twitching as shadows crept into his peripherals. His heightened emotions had an unforeseen side effect, a sandstorm began to kick up across the arena. If anything, this would work in his favor (Sand Stream).

As Oscar watched shadows cover the mirror, he got a devious idea. It might result in Pain recieving the hit from Shadow Sneak, in fact it was very likely. Pain didn't have a lot of vitality to throw around, but Oscar was certain he could take a ghost attack. It would probably be the only one he could tank but with both victory and defeat so close there wasn't much of a choice. "Storm gambit two."

Pain understood, it was a basic strategy Oscar had taught him during training. As the shadows closed in, Pain roared directly at his foe. This was to keep the mimikyu's attention as a massive lightning bolt descended from overhead to swiftly strike its position (Thunder). Thanks to the shadows covering the mirrors and the sudden sand storm, it would likely be harder for the mimikyu to notice. Plus if it did notice and decide the dodge, it would break its shadow and spare Pain from Shadow Sneak. This was how it played out in Oscar's head, he'd have to wait and see what would actually happen.

Oscar had no time to be happy about the successful hit, especially with Pain taking a slash from the mimikyu's shadow. Oscar spoke flatly, "It's coming, be ready." Pain winced as it recovered from the shadow's attack, heaving as it focused its negative emotions into dark energy that crackled across his hide.

Oscar lost track of the mimikyu in the sand storm, however Pain's eyes were naturally accustomed to these conditions. He managed to keep his sight on it as it bobbed toward him. Oscar decided to trust Pain, and instead turned his focus to Katherine.

"Katherine!" Oscar yelled over the storm, intending to communicate with the gym leader on the other side of the arena. His tone was firm, yet playful enough to show he was enjoying this challenge. "Don't you dare think we're gonna buckle under pressure! We've trained too long, we aren't folding until we have nothing left!" Oscar probably would have gone on, but the sudden appearance of smoke turned his attention back on the battle. "Now!"

Pain's reaction time was faster than his master's, as soon as the smoke appeared he had unleashed the dark energy he built up (Dark Pulse). Just like before, the smoke dissipated against the force of the dark power, and hopefully tossed away the mimikyu as well. He wasn't eager to let it get close again, not when he was at the edge of his limits. Oscar cheered at the attack, "Hell yeah, learn and adapt baby!"

Yet as the attack ended, he noted how tired Pain looked. How much longer could they keep this up? Oof, got really close to being doubtful there. As long as Pain was conscious, they had a chance to win. However time was running out, so Oscar resolved to push this battle into the end game.

Oscar gasped, the dark pulse dispersed the smoke but the mimikyu continued forward. Pain was dumbfounded at the little beings strength, but its desperation to reach him shall bring consequences for both parties. Pain was now desperate to win, he had survived for so long to lose now would be tragic. Yet as the mimikyu dove in, he knew not what to do.

Pain decided to act himself, not waiting for instructions from his master. The mimikyu once again gave a series of hits, each more devastating than the last. Pain reached his breaking point as he tried to create the right timing, and then he jumped. His first movement in the entire battle, and it took every ounce of energy he had remaining. He waited for when the mimikyu was supposed to strike before making his leap, his plan being to land on his opponent. It wasn't a large leap mind you, just high enough to get the mimikyu's lower body under his weight should his plan succeed.

Even if he didn't land on the mimikyu, Pain's landing left quite an impact. The slam released one last round of Earthquake, releasing an enormous shock wave that kicked up sand and debris as it spread across the arena. Oscar could not believe his eyes, he for sure never taught him that. Yet the spectacle would have a heavy cost, as Pain would soon collapse under his own weight and fall to the floor.

Pain lay for a moment, Oscar worrying that he exerted himself into fainting. Yet Pain moved, very slowly struggling to get up. He got as far as his hands and knees, but could not lift any further. Pain let out a cry of anguish, his energy was spent. Oscar stared out onto the arena, searching frantically for the mimikyu. If it was still conscious, this fight was over.
