Selena and Circe take advantage of this momentary blindness and fatigue to spam another powerful attack, one that will hopefully sweep away the dragon and make them witch the first battle.

“Cover them in flames!”

The vixen begins to wave her wand, revolving and drawing in the heat that comes from the action as it sends the HEAT WAVE into the hydreigon's direction.

GYM BATTLE

There hadn’t been many words thus far. Selena wanted to see intuition. Lulu might have been out of her element here, but what was holding her back was a lack of connection with the beast in front of her. It was too new to the team for something like this, and she hadn’t done enough research. She wouldn’t make the same mistake again.

The Hydreigon let out a metallic screech as it was engulfed in flames, succumbing to the barrage of attacks. Lulu, or ‘Nicole’ shielded her eyes. Shit. She hissed lowly under her breath, and then louder across the field, “Strong Delphox you’ve got there!” Her gloved hand then held out a pokeball to return her fainted dragon. She smirked, but the rest of her face wasn't so bright--but she was too far away to tell. “All I’ve got left is my Perrserker.” A steel type wouldn’t do well in the heat. Selena knew that. “Don’t underestimate him, though.” She tossed the ball in the air.

Perrserker, though one of her smaller pokemon, was a fearsome, energetic little monster. Of all Lulu’s pokemon, it was also the most bloodthirsty. Literally a Viking Pokemon, it left the pokeball loudly with a battlecry, looking ready to charge. Obediently, however, it awaited her command. It had been about a fifty-percent chance of that happening, and she was thankful for the change of luck. As far as she was aware, it was the rule to see if her opponent would want to switch their pokemon before attacking.

“More than an emblem of the Desmarais Family, Circe has become my partner since I started my adventure. That's why the bond we have is something difficult to destroy.”

Selena smiles at the complement. She can tell Circe likes the way the challenger acknowledges her strength too. Afterall, the battle is supposed to be skewed in Nicole's favor.

A psychic-type will have a difficult time to challenge a dark-type. But then there are tricks up in the delphox's fur that the challenger, unfortunately, hasn't foresaw. At least this time, she's confident with her pokemon.

“We'll be the judge of that.” She returns the gesture, smiling at the perrserker.

The gym leader doesn't switch her pokemon. Instead, she orders Circe to erect yet another LIGHT SCREEN on her side of the field.

GYM BATTLE

It wasn’t lost on Lulu that Perrserker’s steel was weak against Delphox’s fire. If the battle was meant to be leaning in their favor, it was not. They were at a full disadvantage, and Lulu had made it clear upon the release of her Pokemon that she was aware of it. They’d missed nothing. Unfortunately, Perrserker was the only option she had left. Roll with what ya got.

The thing they didn’t realize was the sheer force of rage within this creature. Even at such a disadvantage, it would put up the fight of its life. It still felt like it was doing that, anyways.

Lulu smirked as the Perrserker swirled with dark energy. She felt its scream as it ran forward, and the same war flashed through her brain. It flicked a switch of sorts. Behind her unassuming frames, a violent gleam appeared. “END THEM.” The voice was darker than it had been before. Their chances were slim, but the energy about them was confident and threatening. If they were going down, they were going to do their damnedest to drag the Delphox down with them.

The Delphox’s LIGHT SCREEN did not deter the Galarian Meowth from using DARK PULSE, purple and black energy swallowing the ground around it and its opponent, licking up legs and causing whatever damage it could.

With barely enough scratches from the first round, while the psychic screen is only able to weaken the impact of the dark pulse, Circe does not succumb with the creature's attempt to make her kneeel.

“I'm afraid it's gonna take more than that to defeat my delphox.”

As soon as the beam phases out, the vixen waves her wand in a circular motion, creating yet another HEAT WAVE against her opponent.

GYM BATTLE

It would take more to bring them down, but they’d expected as much. Besides, there was no way the Perrserker was going to miss the opportunity to land a contact hit if it could.

The gave a metallic growl as the fire BURNED it, flames licking at its steel-haired body that took on a sort of glow. The Delphox's hit was a critical blow with its power increased by the LIGHT SCREEN. The Perrserker let out a metallic cry which faded into a hiss, as it was clearly in pain--but it was not backing down. The anger and darkness in its eyes only grew, and it seemed to match its trainer’s, it all stemming from... somewhere else. Her breathing was becoming heavier with the rush of adrenaline. “Oh, he’s got more in him.” So did she.

The Perrserker dashed for the fox, leaping up and attempting to deliver a SLASH. Its jagged teeth gritted together as it fought through the pain of its injury.

Flames lick through its flesh as the successful attempt at the fire attack consumes the perrserker, but it doesn't stop the beast from trying to land more injury to its opponent. There is something aggressive about it that Selena can't pinpoint where it comes from.

“Brace it, we got more tricks up our sleeves!”

Alas, the slash does not do well with the psychic screen as it completely passes through its layer, cutting through the delphox's flesh with its dagger-like claws. However...

“Now, electrocute it!”

As the pain is more visible in the eyes of her delphox, all the more the vixen struggles to survive this ordeal. Her left arm receives the most damage from the slash, but her other hand holds out the wand that sticks through the feline's body with a SHOCK WAVE.

GYM BATTLE

There wasn’t much holding the Perrserker back, but Selena’s warning didn’t go unheeded.

Emboldened by its attack’s successful delivery, the Perrserker began to attempt to swipe again, only to be commanded differently by its trainer. “Stop! Focus! Stand your ground and protect yourself!”

The piranha-mouthed cat slid to a stop in the dirt, glaring with a growl at its opponent as its IRON BODY suddenly gave it a glowing a metallic blue finish. As the SHOCK WAVE hit, it seemed to not affect the Perrserker, the light of the electricity simply creating a radiant sheen over its metal body which typically would have taken a terrible blow from the attack. It slid back a bit in the dirt from the force, but when the electricity dissipated, it was left giving another battle-cry before dashing forward, attempting to deliver another SLASH before its opponent could get another move in.

Everything is according to Selena's calculations. She knows the electric-type move is Circe's most accurate attack, and it hypes the creature more so the delphox can take advantage of her position.

“You know what to do!”

The exhaustion is waived for the surging adrenaline in her body. As the perrserker lunges once more to hit another slash, the vixen waves her hand in a familiar motion, the HEAT WAVE licking through its ironed skin like a paint on the canvas.

And then all of a sudden, Circe passes out, the tiredness finally catching up to her. Red light ignites around her form, then Selena hurls another pokeball.

“Medusa will finish the job!”

Then the serpentine slithers through the earth, BULLDOZING her way towards the target.

GYM BATTLE

The toothy grin on its face broadened even more when it felt flesh under its outstretched claw. Yes. It seemed to be… laughing, almost? As the battle went on, it would become glaringly obvious that the creature had a few screws loose.

Another HEAT WAVE assaulted the steel-type again. By this time, it wouldn’t stop screaming, its metallic voice enough to make a sensitive person’s skin crawl. Its posture began to slouch, but it was the only evidence it gave to how very close it was to defeat. It would go out swinging.

Just as it took a step in the direction of its opponent again, the delphox finally bowed out before them. Lulu smirked. At least her cat had won one last good fight before its retirement. She wasn’t about to try to call it back, though. She knew better.

The Milotic was released and the Perrserker was not strong enough to attempt to evade its oncoming attack. Instead, it stood its ground, its growling intensifying as attack drew closer, closer…

Lulu, by this time, knew she wasn’t going to win, but she was still grinning. This had become much more about Perrserker’s final moments of his last battle, and the feeling she related to him on in it. She knew what it felt like to be out for blood; for blood to be the only thing that would do. She knew anger, pain, and the sweet release of violence. “Be strong! This is yours. Take it. She called lowly out to it, rather cryptically. In her face, she looked fully connected with it in that moment, as though it was only her and the Pokemon battling.

Another loud, metallic scream and the impact threw the cat back several meters, creating a skid in the ground and pushing up dirt. It flinched a moment, not getting up. Lulu waited, expecting the battle to be called, but grumbles from the Perrserker made it clear it wasn’t done just yet. From the ground, its eyes turned black, staring at its opponent. The dark energy of another DARK PULSE swirled around it, and again across the field, attempting to consume the beautiful serpent. It would assault with the attack until it could no longer, succumbing to its injuries and exhaustion.

She reached out to return the unconscious creature with a smile. “He’s never been one to give up easily, especially not since the war.” She regarded the Pokeball in her hand a moment, appreciating their similarities, perhaps for the first time. Regardless of the outcome of the event, she had learned much. “I think he needed that.” ’So did I, maybe.’

Even when the perrserker is at its defeat, its dark pulse hits the milotic with just enough power to make her back down after lunging with the ground attack. But with the last move rendering the creature unconscious, Medusa slithers onto her trainer's rear as she waits for her to speak up.

“As fellow veterans of the war, Medusa and Circe have great regard for your perrserker.”

The gym leader approaches Nikki, a hand extended as she concludes the match.

“The match is indeed wonderful. I figure your pokemons just need a little bit training especially how they try to complement one another even when they fight alone.”

She pauses for a moment, appreciating how she relates to her pokemon in her own ways. The war is a great feat for both of them, so losing this challenge is just an opportunity for their bond to grow even stronger.

“Shall we try again next time?”
