Oscar raised an eyebrow, surprised to see one of Lulu's klinklang making an appearance. He smiled at her inquiry, "Not that one in particular but it's good to see your boys get some work outside of the lab." Oscar cracked his knuckles before pulling a pokeball off of his belt. 

He opened it swiftly, releasing a large gliscor with the most devilish smile you'll ever see. This was Vlad, an old timer within Oscar's ranks. Don't let his age fool you though, this bat had a ton of experience under his hat. 

Oscar's smile shifted to a grin as he folded his arms. "I'll let you make the first move. Choose wisely, it takes only one mistake to hand Vlad a victory." Vlad chuckled, rubbing his claws together as he stood on his tail. He eagerly waited to see what his opponent had in store for him.

Vlad stood still, allowing the gears to fly toward him. Several would land their mark, grinding against the thick hide of the snickering bat. It waited patiently for one particular piece to grown near: the center gear with the red node. As it came close, Vlad would suddenly lurch forward and slam his claw toward it with incredible force (Sky Uppercut).

If he succeeded the other gears would be left briefly without their gravitational center, which would hopefully leave them open to some retaliation for the pain they were currently delivering onto Vlad's body.

Vlad chuckled as the electricity crackled across his skin, rendered useless by his sturdy Ground typing. As the individual gears flew off, Vlad wasted no time in hunting down his next target. The one with eyes; if he could disable it the klinklang would be in some dire trouble when it reassembled itself. 

It glided toward his prey, fangs glistening as he outstretched his claws. When in range, he would flap harshly, spinning his body around in a complete circle. His tail curved like a whip, surging with power as Vlad attempted to smash it into his target (Aqua Tail).

As the chaos grew, Vlad would float away from the scattered gears. He would rest his chin on one of his claws, contemplating whether or not he should continue his current tactics. They were working, but the fight would be over too soon if he kept it up like this. He decided to wait, watching the gears patiently. 

Oscar scratched his head, "Hey Vlad you okay? You're doing pretty good so far, what's up?" Vlad didn't move, he simply waited for the gears to recover and collect themselves. Oscar shrugged, folding his arms as he chose to observe and see what happened next

Vlad grinned, happy to see the Klingklang back in working order. Now that it had recovered however, he wasn't intending on holding back. You only ever get one respite in a fight with Vlad.

The ground beneath him began to shake, chunks of rocks suddenly being pulled around Vlad as he chuckled menacingly. He would gather the earth around him, charging power before flinging his projectiles toward his charging opponent (Earth Power). The wily bat raised an eyebrow, eager to see how the Klinklang would react.

Vlad chuckled as the gears made a horrid racket, while Oscar winced and covered his ears. It was like nails against a chalk board, only the nails were metal and the chalk board was also metal. Oscar looked to Vlad, who seemed content to just watch and wait for the gears to recover yet again. 

"Hey Vlad? Fun is fun but maybe we should wrap this up? I think you might go overboard if we don't finish soon." Vlad looked to his master, seemingly unimpressed with his suggestion. Oscar turned his gaze to Lulu, giving her a face that read 'back me up here'. The last thing they needed was a dead Klingklang--another one I mean.

Lulu caught on to Oscar's not-so-subtle hints and withdrew the suffering klinklang. He was relieved, but Vlad was clearly disgruntled. He shot Oscar a mean look, to which Oscar reacted by raising his arms. "Hey don't look at me, you're the one that went ham on it."

Vlad let out a huff, making a circular motion with his claw. Usually that meant 'we'll talk about this later'. That was as good of a reaction that Oscar could hope for, so he withdrew Vlad without further incident. Oscar exhaled, Vlad sure was a handful.

Lulu approached, asking about the tournament so far. Oscar shrugged, "I haven't been taking it too seriously. Mostly using it as an excuse to get a gauge on different battle styles. How about you?"
