Josh Devlin
A transparent, glass-like shield suddenly rose around the entire arena as the TRICK ROOM faded away, shielding the battle's audience from the elemental assault that was about to test Josh in a way he never could have expected. He had been told by Melody Miro , MATIAS SILPH , and Thomas Benoit that if he wanted to pursue the legendary Pokémon Raikou, all roads would lead to kyle lopez .
They did so in a way the Pokémon racer could never have expected.
The arena's temperature surged drastically, the furnace-like conditions of Mount Chimney during his mountain rescue aided by The Volatile coming to mind. From an opening on the rooftop crashed a large, quadrupedal, obviously fire-type Pokémon about as large as Aslan. Volcanic embers radiated from the majestic, noble Pokémon, Pinky and Janus trembling under the PRESSURE of its divine Aura that was nothing short of oppressive. Josh had expected, from his research, that the Champion merely knew where Entei was and was on good enough terms to visit it.
He had no idea that the Director had the Sacred Beast at his beck and call!
Josh's jaw was wide open, not even noticing the roof of his mouth starting to cook from the heat entering his body. As he shed tears of happiness in meeting one of the three divine Pokémon he admired to the point of adoration, they evaporated within seconds. He was overcome with joy, so much that he lost focus on the battle. A roar from the Beast would make Josh fully aware that he still had a challenge going on.
The sonic discharge, magnified by the PRESSURE of the flame emperor's inhuman Aura, swept Josh off his feet and into the arena wall behind him, the challenger landing on his rump. Janus and Pinky, sounding loud and pained cries, stood their ground. At the very least, the wheel was in Josh's favor, two Smeargle on the sidelines BATON PASSing enhanced defensive capabilities to them. Capabilities Kyle's Gastrodon looked to remove from Pinky with a cloud of CLEAR SMOG.
Acting quickly, Janus juxtaposed with the Sylveon with a quick use of ALLY SWITCH, shielding his ally from both the venom Fairy-types loathed while also keeping his bolstered defenses intact. Defenses he would need when Entei reared and slammed his broad, seemingly omnipotent paws into the arena's center, BULLDOZING every piece of Rock Slide debris into deadly shrapnel that went flying in all directions. The Gym's safety system was thankfully able to keep Josh safe from the rocky explosions, but not so much Janus and Pinky. The Espeon had been felled in a single blow, and Pinky was in terrible shape, just barely able to struggle to her feet and attempt to twist the space around Entei with his PSYSHOCK.
While the safety systems were able to keep Josh safe from the shrapnel, the Beast's shockwave was another thing. Its PRESSURE was so great that it breached the system intended to keep challengers safe, a drastically weakened form of Entei's BULLDOZE striking Josh directly just as he was trying to stand up. He fell on his rump a second time, this time cutting both its cheeks on pieces of shrapnel that had escaped in the process. Blood dripped from the legs of his shorts as he recalled his brutally beaten Espeon and sent out his final Pokémon, Saber the Manectric. The electric-type was furious, locking stares with the Legendary Beast.
