Oscar chuckled to himself, "That's kind of you, thanks." He wasn't really sure if having the first turn would help, but he appreciated the courtesy. He snapped his fingers, "Grievous, build and crush." 

Grievous nodded, standing with his limbs outstretched. Spectral swords began to form around his body, swirling in a violent dance as power radiated off of the space around the blaziken (Sword Dance). When the dance ended, the power would remain upon Grievous. His muscles tensed as he pulled himself back, his powerful legs shaking the earth beneath them as they bent. 

With little warning, Grievous would launch himself forward. His claws reared back, swinging forward as he came close to his target (Crush Claw).

Grievous's strike rang true, but he had made a mistake. He put too much force behind it, an aggressive move that left too much recovery time. Because of this, his opponent's discharge was a direct hit. Electricity pushed him back, giving him a very painful and sobering jolt. His first instinct was to jump back, his mighty legs pushing him upward and backward several feet. 

The thunder wave roared past him as he unwittingly slipped out of its clutches. Had he not relied on his instincts, he would have been paralyzed instantly. This fucker was no joke. Grievous landed, but he didn't stay grounded for long.

He launched himself back toward his opponent, spinning in the air and aiming to slam his flaming leg into its head (Blaze Kick).

Grievous landed with a thud as he barely missed his target. Only now did he feel the sting of the falling rain, narrowing his eyes with fury as he clenched his claws. Oscar sighed, holding up a bizarre ring that sat on his middle finger. The stone within the ring flashed, and Grievous would soon be consumed by a mysterious and primal energy.



The energy dispersed, revealing the menacing Mega form of Grievous. The rain may dampen his fire, but it would hardly matter with the strength boost this transformation provided. Grievous wasted no time, flipping toward his opponent to deliver a swift overhead smash (Acrobatics).

Grievous's attack was met by a burst of energy; a very familiar surge of primal power that he had unleashed himself just moments before. It pushed him back, his talons skidding across the ground as he endured the force of his opponent's transformation. When the power faded, he would find that the Manectric had taken on his own mega-form. Grievous smiled, this was a real fucking fight.

Despite the rain and the electric terrain that surrounded him, Grievous felt pumped for more. He let out a battle cry at his opponent, a horrid screech that echoed across the arena. He took one step forward and--

Electricity surged across his body. Grievous winced as he was frozen in place, paralysis holding him back from performing another attack. Oscar gasped, "What the fuck--when? How?" Oscar watched helplessly as Grievous struggled to move, the fighter's eager fervor dissolving into fear. 

He was wide open.

The sky roared with a familiar crackle, and Oscar's heart sunk deep into the back of his chest. His eyes grew wide as he immediately knew what would occur next--and there was nothing Grievous could do about it.

"Oh fuck."

The Thunder landed spot-on, pushing Grievous into the ground with the force of a semi-truck. Scorch marks surrounded where he lay, if he weren't mega-evolved the fight probably would have been over. Grievous hung on however, rising slowly as sparks flowed down his body. Despite the rain, his eyes blazed with immense fury. This same fury pressed him forward, giving him the strength to sprint toward his opponent. This fight wasn't over, not while he could still stand!

Another flash appeared in the sky, followed by yet another incredible boom as Thunder struck Grievous again. He had made it about half way to his opponent before being struck, and this time he did not get up. He was out cold. Oscar smacked his forehead, "What? WHAT!? Holy shit it's over? Just like that?" 

He was amazed, the tides had turned so quickly. It was almost as if--as if he hadn't been ahead at all. Oscar looked to the champion, trying his hardest to hide his admiration. This guy was the real deal.

Oscar groaned, withdrawing Grievous as his mega evolution faded. He shook his head, placing his wrists on his hips as he grasped Grievous's ball. "Here I thought I was strong. What an eye opener. Where'd we go wrong?" Oscar placed the ball on his belt, already thinking of ways to adjust Grevious's training regimen.
