Normally, the unwieldy FIRE BLAST would be an incredibly risky move to use against a Pokémon so fast. While hitting an unusual target with the full-force attack would be easy, it would almost certainly arouse and anger the electric-type if it wasn't an instant knockdown. The superheated explosion was so bright that Josh could partially see through his Manectric's fur and skin before he had to cover his eyes.
While Kee likely couldn't see due to the light and billowing smoke from the amplified fire-type attack, Saber's snout and chest fur were charred almost a solid black. He was hurting. Once the light wasn't blindingly intense anymore, Josh saw his Manectric's condition and immediately reached for the canine's Poké Ball. Despite his hyperventilating, Saber dodged the beam not once, not twice, but three times.
By the time Josh called out to his Pokémon, Kee could clearly see the exchange the two were having "You're gonna hurt yourself even more if you keep going, Saber! Even Gym safety protocols have their limits!" Despite only being able to retort with a weak bark with barely audible crackling, there was a passionate fire in the Manectric's eyes. One that would overcome his trainer's will no matter how much he tried. Against his better judgment, he nodded and let Saber have his way.
"This is it, Kee. This battle ends here, one way or another!" Josh cried. "We're holding nothing back!" Josh sent out his shiny Luxray, Blitz, but not to battle with; he heeded another Pokémon to support his Z-Pose. Climbing on, grabbing the lion's reins and crossing them, he tensed both his arms. "HYPERSONIC..."
The Manectric, on his last legs, faced Kee's Houndoom, colledting Z-Power while awaiting the completion of his trainer's Z-Pose to release the PRIMAL ENERGY. The Gym Leader shouted as he fiercely whipped the reins back into position, Blitz taking great discipline in not firing his own version of the Z-Move Josh's Gym was known for.
"...PLASMA CHARGE!!!"
A swirl of lightning bolts circled Saber. When the four of them converged on one another in deafening thunder, the weary Manectric let out a loud cry, drunk on the power of PRIMAL ENERGY before disappearing in a piercing, electric, supersonic lunge so fast that not even he who discovered the move could follow it.
HYPERSONIC PLASMA CHARGE [Electric][Priority] After obtaining Z-Power and using Quick Attack, the user envelops itself in lightning bolts, then charges faster than the speed of sound. This move always goes first (even before other priority moves), and always deals at least neutral damage, regardless of Types or Abilities.
