It had been the first time that Alec had set foot in Ever Grande City. Alec considered it to be more than likely the second-biggest city in the region, with Slateport still coming out on top. However, despite him enjoying the sights (albeit somewhat), he was here mainly for one thing, and that was to challenge the Gym Leader to a battle. The Gym Challenge he had with Josh proved that he was more than capable of handling another Gym Challenge.

The dragon tamer made his way to the furthest outskirts of the city, with Kaminari the Pikachu already sitting on his shoulder as he walked. He had already requested a private match before making his way to the city, deciding that it was probably for the best. Since Ever Grande was home to the League Headquarters, and with Alec being considered dead and all, making himself known publically would have not just grabbed the League's attention, but also Team Rockets ... He couldn't afford to be made all because he wanted to challenge a Gym. The only two people associated with the League that knew he was alive were and - two respective Gym Leaders. Josh didn't suspect anything about him at first, but from what Alec knew of the guy, he believed that Josh could keep a secret. As for Alexei, Alec had the same feeling. There were also few others that knew about him and who he was, but Alec doubted that they'd tell others.

A part of Alec wanted to march his way over to the League Headquarters, but he knew that he wouldn't get very far. "If Team Rocket ever makes a move though, the higher-ups will know I'm alive soon enough," Alec thought to himself. Upon reaching the 'Gym' Alec looked around, not expecting the place to look like a theme park. With the only gigantic circus tent in sight, Alec figured that his battle with the Gym Leader would be inside. "Well, looks like we're here, Kaminari. You ready?" Alec asked, and with a determined squeak, Kaminari seemed to be just as ready as Alec was.

The moment Alec headed inside the tent, music started to play. The music that played made Alec cringe, while Kaminari the Pikachu seemed to like it instantly, dancing to it while still propped on Alec's shoulder. There was someone in the center, dancing to the god-awful music that continued invading the dragon tamer's ears.

Alec wanted to interrupt, but just as he was about to, Kaminari hopped off Alec's shoulder, unable to contain himself, deciding to dance with the lady to the song, making Alec groan mentally. "Great ... Okay, Kaminari ... you can have some fun," Alec thought reluctantly, feeling defeated.

After watching Kaminari and the woman dance, who didn't seem to notice Alec or his Pikachu dancing with her (surprisingly), which lasted a good five and half minutes, the dragon tamer awkwardly cleared his throat somewhat obnoxiously and said to the woman, "Excuse me, I'm here for my private gym challenge."

Johanna had been all too focused on rehearsing a new dance routine for her show to notice the approach of a trainer and his Pokémon.

And honestly she didn’t think much of it as a random Pikachu joined her in the cheerful dance. Only when the music came to a halt and the clearing of a throat announced the presence of another human there, did she realize a Pikachu hadn’t been the only new arrival.

A warm shade of red spread over her cheeks. “Oh, uh, sorry, yes, that’s right.”

She was so unaccustomed to these private challenges. As most of her challengers had taken their shot at fifteen minutes of fame.

“Well let’s get to it then, I’ve made you wait long enough, no?!” Embarrassed surprise exchanged with cheerful eagerness as she made her way to her side of the arena, and then summoned her two fighters. A Lucario and Aegislash.

“Well, first move goes to you.” She simply stated as both her Pokémon readied themselves.

Alec lightened up a bit, hoping that he wasn't coming off as a douche. "It's no worries." he said reassuring her, wasting no time in bringing out his second pokemon. An Inteleon calm and collected stood next to Kaminari who definitely had way more energy than his partner. Despite their contrasting personalities, Wigglez and Kaminari work together most if not all the time in battles. Whether Johanna picked up on the strategy right away or not was rather unclear, but honestly, Alec didn't seem to care whether she knew just by looking at the Inteleon and Pikachu or not. Either way, he and his pokemon were prepared.

What's more, is that Alec couldn't help but grin once Johanna revealed her pokemon. A Lucario and an Aegislash. "This might be a bit difficult with the Lucario and Aegislash, but ... My pokemon and I've handled much worse," Alec thought to himself. When Johanna had said that his pokemon were allowed to make the first move, "With pleasure. Let em have it guys!" Was all Alec said to his pokemon, not even giving them proper commands. Despite this, it seemed like Alec didn't even have to, as Wigglez the Inteleon formed a ball of water at the tips of its fingers.

To Johanna and her pokemon, it may have seemed like the Inteleon was preparing to attack with SNIPER SHOT, however, once the water was discharged, having been fired at the Lucario, the water didn't seem to be harmful. That's because Wigglez had only meant to SOAK it in water, rather than attack it with water. If the harmless spray of water connected, it would change the Lucario's typing to a PURE WATER TYPE - a rather convenient way for Kaminari to unleash its Electricity onto it from its pouches.

Speaking of which, right after Wigglez the Inteleon had started to spray the water at the Lucario, Kaminari decided to let loose with a THUNDERBOLT. Alec could only hope though that the SOAK as well as THUNDERBOLT met their marks. Alec knew that Lucario was pretty fast. Not only that but the Aegislash more than likely had KING'S SHIELD, which could protect itself from attacks.



TL;DR:
- Inteleon attempts to use Soak on the Lucario in order to change it's typing(s) to a pure water type!

- Kaminari then unleashes a Thunderbolt onto the Lucario after (hopefully) having been Soaked by Wigglez!

The battle began.

Johanna didn’t need to say much, they each knew their role, though Dorian the Aegislash was no fan of it. Aegislash was on defense, and it floated in front of the Lucario as quickly as it could in its shield form, erecting the KING’S SHIELD in the process.

And finding that the water splashed harmlessly upon it. What a let down.

Of course, Lucario wasn’t about to stand around. Seeing the crackling electricity from the Pikachu, it quickly went into motion.

Body shining with a faint white glow before suddenly disappearing, or so it would seem for those whose eyes could not follow its EXTREME SPEED. It was charging at Inteleon hoping to bring this battle into close range.



TLDR:
- Aegislash Blocks SOAK with KING'S SHIELD
- Lucario charges at Inteleon with EXTREME SPEED.

Alec had figured that her Aegislash would be on defense; wasting no time in Protecting the Lucario from Wigglez’s harmless SOAK. But that didn’t stop Wigglez, just as the Lucario came in close with an EXTREMESPEED, the Inteleon delivered a SUCKER PUNCH, only having Wigglez knocked back, but the stealthy blow he delivered would catch it off guard as well, or at least that was what Alec had hoped.

Just as Wigglez was knocked back from the Lucario’s attack, Kaminari fired yet another THUNDERBOLT at the Lucario once again. With Wigglez not being so close to the incoming electricity, he wouldn’t have to worry about being zapped either.

“Something told me that this wasn’t gonna be easy,” Alec smirked, obviously enjoying that. He preferred battles to be hard-won rather than easily done so. Hopefully, Johanna would agree with him on that. Alec knew that the big problem he and his pokemon would be facing was not the Lucario, but Johanna’s Aegislash. KING’S SHIELD also not had the ability to protect any incoming attack, but it also sapped the strength of the pokemon that comes into physical contact with the protective barrier. Chances were that Johanna would have the Aegislash attempt to keep its Shield stance up for most if not all of the battle.

“If I can have the Aegislash force itself to change its stance, then perhaps we’ll have a chance of winning.” Alec thought to himself, continuing to hold his smirk.



TL;DR:
- Johanna's Aegislash uses King's Shield to defend against Wigglez' Soak, protecting the Lucario from it becoming a pure water type.

- The Lucario dodges Kaminari's thunderbolt, while also going in for an attack on Wigglez using Extremespeed.

- Inteleon attacks the Lucario with Sucker Punch at the same time its Extremespeed hits.

- Kaminari then launches yet another Thunderbolt at the Lucario.

Lucario’s speed brought him to the Inteleon quickly enough. But alas with speed came tunnel vision. And so Lucario met with the sucker punch, grimacing as he came to an abrupt halt. Lucario wasn’t even sure if he had managed to knock the other Pokémon down.

And unfortunately he wasn’t even about to find out as the Pikachu was quick to send a Thunderbolt his way.

But unlike Lucario, the Aegislash hadn’t lost sight of the battlefield. It rushed in-between the incoming Thunderbolt and the Lucario. KING’S SHIELD held high as it deflected the attack, spreading the lightning in all directions for a moment.

Lucario was quick to give an appreciative coo, before it refocused on his opponents. Aegislash however just gave a sigh. It didn’t like being on the defense.

Anyhow, they couldn’t keep just being defensive. Lucario had a plan. It watched the Pikachu as the Thunderbolt ran its course, preparing itself to COPYCAT it. The moment the King’s Shield was lowered. Lucario brimmed with electricity as it sent the copied THUNDERBOLT at the Inteleon.



TLDR:
- Lucario is SUCKER PUNCHED
- Aegislash protects Lucario with KING'S SHIELD again.
- Lucario COPYCAT's the THUNDERBOLT and sends it at Inteleon.
