"I've been training it for some time now." And in that time it had seen more harrowing battles than most, although somehow it always pulled through, however today was still an exception. In a miraculous turn of events, its TRI ATTACK had frozen Zac's previous pokemon, presenting an opportunity that was otherwise lost. Onto business...

A Yanmega darted through the air, difficult to detect with the naked eye, though he tried all the same. For a mercy he was able to follow after its aura more closely, though it still posed a challenge for eyes unaccustomed to its chaotic movement.

Adrian would await their attack with anticipation, guessing at the most likely approach.

"She's definitely fast." In all the time it took for them to exchange but a few measly words, Yanmega had zipped up and down the shore and buffeted Magnezone with an AIR SLASH, though it hardly registered. The great machine hovered motionlessly as if lifeless, subtly rocked by the gusts directed at it; its eyes followed after the Yanmega, straining to keep up, yet through persistence and targeting algorithms, it LOCKED ON.

"I would know; I'm from Sinnoh." Adrian recognized the attack at once, having owned a Yanmega of his own, however that was a long, long time ago...

Evolution through Ancient Power had been the precursor to the discovery of Mega Evolution in Sinnoh, though the two phenomenon were not linked. They were simply similes, operating under a shared principle: Reawaken lost evolutionary advantages. When the stones shattered against Magnezone's robust exterior, he could tell the machine was still jarred by the impact, its inner mechanisms rattled and loosened.

In the smokescreen of debris from the attack, Magnezone would take further time to calibrate before unleashing a hellish amplitude of electricity from its largest spire, causing the air between it and Yanmega to shudder and ionize as ZAP CANNON punished the critter for its proximity. Not only effective, but a guaranteed paralysis.

Whether or not it was feigned concern, Adrian's eyebrows shot up at the next attack, watching as Magnezone wobbled in place, seemingly out of focus. Did it need a tune up? That wasn't going to happen until Yanmega was knocked out, or Magnezone itself was a bucket of bolts on the ground, so he could only feel sympathy.

As a result of the attack, Magnezone's circuits shorted and surged, causing a sudden DISCHARGE that arced along the ground surrounding it, before it began careening forward towards the dirt. Did that really do it in? Adrian remained skeptical.

Adrian wears something of an impressed yet taken aback frown. Huh.

It was a pretty neat thing for Yanmega to scuttle beneath a layer of sand hoping the electricity would bounce off harmlessly, and for the greater part it did exactly that, all while Magnezone clambered to the ground and slid along the sand before becoming entrenched in it. Magnezone was clearly whirring and bleeping as it struggled.

"C'mon, get up." Its magnets pushed at the sand, only to find them digging the bulk of its frame deeper into the sand. Once more and with vigor, Magnezone tried to free itself and finally succeeded, invoking the power of MAGNET RISE to do so.

Teetering where it hovered airborne, Magnezone and Yanmega faced one another off while preparing for their final clash. Once more its internal mechanisms recalibrated themselves, its targeting systems locking onto Buzz' signature.

Turning to face forwards, each magnet began gyrating, generating a whirring sound as the metal parts began firing up, building speed while it LOCKED ON.

"Keep it together, and we've got this," he offered in encouragement.

Ever the analyst, Magnezone waited for that moment Yanmega had let down its guard, when it had unleashed its attack and paused with anticipation. This delayed timing would be crucial to its downfall as it failed to land the telling blow on Yanmega as it rushed forward, lacerating winds slipping through the cracks of its armor and shredding the hardwired physique underneath. It wailed in mechanical distress.

Following through on its pass, Yanmega would be out of sight when the FLASH CANNON blasted uncontrollably from Magnezone's body, causing it to combust and plummet towards the earth in a fireball. "What the f#ck?! Oh, man...!" Adrian rushed over towards his Magnezone while it spewed out smoke and bolts.

And with that, a referee on the sideline would call the match, and Zac its victor.
