A red haired woman, unlike most females however she appeared to be what many would consider intimidating if not sinister.

Nonetheless he would appear unamused, unbothered even as she spoke, even as she summoned her Scyther, even as the referee motioned for the bell, not even when Scyther came rushing at him with no defense between them.

That was until Rufio finally called forth his own Pokemon....

Zweihander the Doublade!

Coming from blue energy taking form as the Pokemon was released from it's Poke Ball the pair of "swords" would twirl about momentarily before crossing each other in the form of an "X". However instead of dodging the attack or defending against it, naturally due to her "No Guard" ability, Zweihander would actually counter with her own assault.

Zweihander, Aerial Ace!!

And with that the pair of swords would seperate once more while gliding through the air in an elegant dance as she made her way toward the Scyther that was rushing in. In another moment four blades would clash, swords and Scyther's arms causing Zweihander to wince though she "Stood her ground" while floating about.

Hee, hee.

Sending your bug out for the slaughter, eh? Plan on figuring out our fighting style that way? Hm?!

Or you got something else up your sleeve, huh?

Continuing to chuckle to himself as his opponent gave their Scyther charge to use Agility, Rufio would proceed to crane his neck from side to side before resting it at an awkward angle to the left while giving his own orders then.

Zweinhander, use Iron Defense!

Twirling about in place before crossing into a "T" form the pair of sentient weapons would begin to shine and gleam a bright white before taking on a steely gray sheen that would soon fade as well. Looking normal as ever afterward the Doublade would nonetheless prepare itself for the next onslaught with an improved defense.

You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into, hahahh!

Your move!

Moveset;
Autotomize
Aerial Ace
Iron Defense - [used]
Power Trick
Swords Dance

Oh the irony, literally...You'll see true balance in Zweihander, heee, hee!

Both Zweihander and Rufio would watch on as the Scyther began to glow and it's arm-blades moved in a simple, yet beautiful way.

Was it Swords Dance?

Zweihander, you go ahead and use our special flying Swords Dance, yeah!

With that order the Doublade would begin to "Dance" in place, however this was merely a feint, it was not using Swords Dance. Instead the blades would begin to part a bit with one slowly drifting upwards into the air...until it would then soar upward in an arcing motion before twirling about to descend in spiraling fashion as it attempted to deliver an AERIAL ACE at Scyther in hopes of taking advantage of it's momentary pause along with the fact that Zweihander itself was using underhanded tactics.

tl/dr;
Zweihander FAKES using Swords Dance
One part/sword of Doublade stays in place, the other sneakily employs AERIAL ACE

Blades would clash again, Zweihander's steely resolve coming from it's Steel-Type nature if only, the sentient swords otherwise providing no visual evidence of pain though they had taken some damage over the course of the battle nonetheless.

Not done yet?!

Only because I'm allowing this to drag out, hee, hee!

Zweihander, prepare to finish this off, use Swords Dance forreal this time!

Obliging their Trainer the Doublade would begin to gracefully dance about in place, the pair of swords essentially being dancing partners. Completing their endeavor Zweihander would then cross back into an "X" and awaited their opponent's next turn.

Zweihander the Doublade was fast and yet their opponent Scyther had used Agility, improving it's own speed. And while the sentient swords had their own ability to increase their speed Rufio saw no need to request it due to his Pokemon's innate nature of always landing hits in exchange for always being hit as well.

As such they'd only waste time in using Autotomize, because of this they'd keep with the bread and butter due to it's super effectiveness.

Finish this, Aerial Ace one more time!

Zipping forward and spiraling about in vivid rotations Doublade would this time be even more flashy, using one blade to take the hits from Scyther's X-Scissor, while the second came in without resistance, aiming to thrust it's sharp point forward and against the bug's chest if able. If their opposition managed to keep going after this Rufio would've been surprised though he'd never admit shock to his opponent nor would he admit their expertise in combat or resilience.
