Josh's second battle with was intense. It felt like doing battle with one of Rocket's finest, with exception of the environment being substantially lower stakes. It was a battle where a loss would be something he could walk away from, but that didn't make it any less important to the Mauville Gym Leader. He fought like hell; while his Pokémon were all still swift, speed was not their only weapon. Bladestorm's Spikes were key in his victory, slowing them down to the point where his speed advantage could be pressed even more than normal. It was living proof that he had taken 's advice to heart. It had earned him his first victory in the Elite Test.

And it would earn him his second today.

Confidently holding Raikiri's reins, Josh rode his Zeraora into the idol's large battle arena, sparks crackling around him. It was clear from his expression that Josh intended to use the lightning-fast Pokémon in his challenge, as it was key in his last victory. The deadly combination of his Plasma Paws and blistering speed was a crucial element of his win, but it was far from the only element. Without support from his other Pokémon, there was no way he would have won.

While his tactics against Melody would be similar, there were major differences. Verte, his Flygon, was a way for him to fight music with music. The dragon's vibrating wings could shriek at full speed and drown out other sonic attacks, perhaps giving him a crucial edge when he needed it most.

The thundercat and his rider peered across the battleground toward . "Afternoon!" Josh waved from his feline's back. "Sorry for having to reschedule at the last minute; I ended up taking a real beating at Dewford and had to take some time off for some R&R. We're ready now, though. And if you think we'll have a third battle, you couldn't be more wrong!" he taunted, holding two Poké Balls in his hand.

Melody smiles as Josh enters her room. Once again, it's the same as before. A normal battle sized spaced room, all four of the walls are empty, reflective waterfalls adorning every wall like a mirror. [break][break]

"Happy to see you again josh, it's no worry." she says as she claps her hands together "I hope your right! Let's see if you took my advice of being more flexible in your pokemon choices." she grins happily as Melody was going to come at him full force. [break][break]

She smiles and hopes he remembers the rules from last time "I think last time you sent them out first so now I'll do it!" she says as Melody chooses two pokemon she hadn't used last time, a Leavanny and a Cherrim. "So I get first move but you can pick the tacticle advantage."

Josh did indeed remember Melody's challenge rules. How could he forget? He had such a close battle with the Elite Four member last time. The Gym Leader took his place in the challenger's trainer box, remaining seated on his Zeraora as he hurled two Poké Balls containing his prized aerial Pokémon toward the battle court's center. Within emerged Bladestorm, the screeching Metal Menace, and Verte, an energetic Flygon whose wings were already humming like an insect's. They were still fast, but they weren't as all-in on speed as Josh's last team.

"Of course I took your advice! I've got a completely new team this time around," Josh bragged as he waited for the match's judge to give the signal to begin. Melody, too, was using a brand new team. Since their last match, Josh had been put in many uncomfortable spots that required him to not rely entirely on the speed he was known for. It would be easy for Josh's Pokémon to get the jump on Melody's, but would it matter? That Leavenny in particular looked tough as nails.

"Now let's make this a match to remember. and Entei are waiting, after all."

"Too bad I'll never let you see them!" she says as her original smile from before the toxin returned to her face, the excitement on her lips was palpable as Melody was determined to defeat him once again. "Cherrim! Sunny day!" she says as a ball of light erupts into the air creating an ARTIFICIAL SUN[break][break]

FLOWER GIFT activates enhancing her team's PHYSICAL ATTACKS and SPECIAL DEFENSE while LEAVANNY'S CHLOROPHYLL activates and enhances it's speed greatly "Tejero! jump that flygon and use LEAF BLADE!" as Leavanny dashes forward quickly and attempts to leap onto the flygon's back and slash at it's back.

Melody, too, had brought a completely different set of Pokémon: rather than the water-types she was known for, she had two grass-types that were more than ready to take advantage of the hot weather the Cherrim had baked the now-steaming battleground with. Though the Leavanny's CHLOROPHYLL had denied Josh his speed advantage, he still had the mobility advantage. That mobility advantage was one he would press. "Bladestorm, STEALTH ROCK!"

The move was less Stealth Rocks and more Stealth Blades, Bladestorm shedding two of his many wing blades to serve as the heat-seeking projectiles floating around the idol's side of the chamber. The Metal Menace would be able to easily deflect any Solar Beams headed his way, giving the Gym Leader ample time to continue restricting the foe's space to maneuver.

The nimble Leavanny landed right on Verte's back, right between the scale-marks where his back was. As much as the LEAF BLADE to the back hurt, the insectile dragon's scales repelled the attack some. The next one would certainly be aimed at the Flygon's neck, and that was something Josh could not allow. "Gotcha, Melody," he grinned as a shriek came from Verte's now-invisible wings.

Without a saddle to mitigate the BUG BUZZ, the vibration coursing through the Flygon reached earthquake levels, and the shrieking wings threatened to ravage the grass-type's hearing organs. Verte swerved toward the Cherrim in an effort to shred the grass-type's leaves with the high-frequency buzzing and dislodge his unwanted rider.

She sucks on her teeth as the bug buzz rings out, there was no sense in telling leavanny to try and dodge the bug buzz. She was the one who taught josh that the only way to stop a sound move was to use a defensive move. The BUG BUZZ deals severe damage to leavanny. The leavanny is shaken off of the flygon's back as it the enemy pokemon rushes towards cherrim. "Flower shield!" she orders as suddenly a barrage of pink cherry blossoms coats not only her, but also LEAVANNY
. [break][break]

It wouldn't be as effect against a BUG BUZZ but it would at least stand it's ground and attempt to keep the dragon in place with all of the boosts it had gotten. "Leavanny! X-scissor flygon!" as the pokemon suddenly gets back up, using a STRING SHOT to grappel onto the roof and fly forward, forming an X with it's blade hands and tries to descend upon the flygon to strike from behind again.

Even Bladestorm was not totally immune from some of the fiercest vibration Verte could muster. Josh could feel a tingling sensation even with the distance between him and his Pokémon. How did Shalin withstand that? Even with a Sygna Suit, being shaken around on a wing moving that fast was just so hard to believe. The mangled Leavanny's STRING SHOT into X-SCISSOR blindsided Verte, digging deeper into his wounds from the LEAF BLADE. The pain left the Flygon unable to remain airborne, landing in the center of the battleground upright but with a loud thud.

It wasn't over yet, though; despite Cherrim's FLOWER SHIELD, there was one way for Verte to dissolve it and do real damage. While he could no longer fly, his wings could still roar. "Full speed, Verte!" Josh cried, barely audible over the squeal the wings made. That squeal led to the wings' pitch growing ever higher. Blood splattered from the wounds between Verte's wings as their tips went supersonic in a BOOMBURST. The wind was so powerful that it even caught the SPIKES Bladestorm was shedding from his body, turning them into a whirlwind of deadly projectiles. The blood loss did leave Verte in awful shape, though; even a glancing blow would fell him now.

A BOOMBURST rings out again, the FLOWER GIFT negates some of the damage...but the closeness of the attack enhanced it too much especially since the power of the SUNNY DAY BEGAN TO FADE AWAY. Melody notices the blood splatter and reacts "STRING SHOT" she orders urgently, however her Leavanny is sent flying back and into the SPIKES. [break][break]

"Aerial ace." she orders as Leavanny waits for the attack to end before rushing forward and striking flygon, the blunt end of it's blade to the back of it's hand. However, instead of being happy, melody looks concerned, mad even. [break][break]

"Joshua." she says staring straight at him "Look at your flygon's wings, I can understand your pokemon responding to your desire to win but.." she says as her two pokemon appear by her side, Meloetta and Cobalion both floating through the door, meloetta childishly sitting on the sword's head. "I will not tolerate another injury from them pushing themselves too far." [break][break]

She however stares at her Cherrim. "Momo?" she asks as she looks at the cherrim and it flops over on it's face. "Oh...well damn." She looks at her belt, moving through each of the pokeballs one by one before grabbing one she kisses "Ariel!" she says as she sends out her starter Primarina. [break][break]

"You can send out your next one and have the next move." She says as Primarina lands onto the field and leavanny rushes back over to her side of the field. Meloetta and Cobalion also plop next to melody as she leans onto him and watches carefully.

The AERIAL ACE from Melody's Leavenny was precise, yet merciful; it took only a glancing blow to incapacitate the Flygon, and that was all it delivered. That was the difference between the two: though they were both fierce combatants, the Mauville Leader's ambition was so great, and his Pokémon's will to fuel that ambition likewise, that they were not afraid to hurt themselves to get the job done.

Melody was right.

There were red smears all over the fallen dragon's wings, the shockwave from its immensely powerful attack having sprayed evidence of its own injury outward. He withdrew his Flygon, raised the Poké Ball to his head level, and said in a quiet voice that may have been just loud enough for the Elite Four to hear, "Verte, I know how badly you want to win for me. But please... take care of yourself first. Please..."

Clipping the collapsed Flygon's Poké Ball to his belt, the Master of Faster reached for a second, hurling it as close to Ariel as he could. A bright green Gogoat emerged from within, sounding a gruff cry as his golden horns gleamed in the limelight.

The Metal Menace continued soaring near the rafters, shedding a second layer of SPIKES that the wakes of his ultrafast Pokémon would certainly blow around. The trap hadn't quite been set yet, but it was close. There was one more step to be had before he could do so. That bug-type needed to go. "Nitro, AERIAL ACE," an uncharacteristically calm, yet firm, command fame from the Gym Leader's mouth. With speed only a Gogoat raised by the Gym Leader could reach, the grass-type lunged toward the weakened Leavenny in an attempt to remove it from the battle. Reciprocating Melody's mercy, Nitro would aim for a glancing blow, for that was all Josh felt was needed.

Meloetta and Cobalion remain watching the battle, Meloetta was especially getting into it.[break][break]

The aerial ace slams into Leavanny, the super effective move and the previous damage dealt to him had taken it's toll. Melody looks to give leavanny orders but is surprised as suddenly the pokemon takes to one knee before falling forward and getting knocked out. She recalls it into her pokeball. "Well, I can't exactly battle in silence so." she says as she takes out her rapier and activates it and sticks it into the ground like a baton "Let's turn it up a notch shall we?" [break][break]

"Louis! Go!" she orders as she gets ready to toss a pokeball onto the field and the music starts in her room and she begins to sing. [break][break]

The gator looks on at his opponents and summons his microphone stand bird as he suddenly moves without an order as he anticipates his orders. ENCORE she orders as she points to his SKARMORY. if he wanted to continue to set up spikes he'd be stuck doing so. Both of her pokemon already took damage from it so she wanted to focus on disrupting him for as long as she could. [break][break]

Melody's primarina was free to act, however to avoid the spikes on the field she stays in place as she activates her PSYCHIC ATTACK however instead of using it directly on one of his pokemon, she tries to gather up the ball of spikes and lobs them at Josh's side of the field to put a fork in his plans.

Josh pumped a fist at Nitro's precise yet merciful strike, goring the Leavenny with just enough power to knock it unconscious. He had the upper hand, and he was going to press that advantage as long as he could. That advantage would end the moment a Skeledirge came out of Melody's final Poké Ball, goading Bladestorm into an ENCORE. While he soared out of range of melee attacks and continued to shed SPIKES, it made the Primarina's PSYCHIC attack all the stronger.

Many of the SPIKES bounced off Bladestorm's metal down. The raining projectiles pelted Nitro from all directions, completely clearing Melody's end of the battleground from the carefully-laid minefield and scattering them randomly about the Gym Leader's side.

That would not do at all.

"Nitro, EARTHQUAKE." There was a calm, yet serious, demeanor Melody may have never seen from Mauville's Master of Faster before. Mayhaps it was respect for the two legendary Pokémon staring him down, particularly Cobalion, the Sword of Iron Will. The SPIKES forced the Shiny Gogoat to use a weaker version of his ground-shaking attack, merely rearing and slamming his hooves into the earth instead of leaping skyward to do so. Even if the blow did not render the fire-type unable to battle, perhaps it would disrupt the singer enough to free the Metal Menace from the clutches of their ENCORE. Josh also banked on it more evenly distributing the SPIKES over the battlefield.

Melody grins as he finds a way to re-distribute the spikes around despite her psychic. Good. The earthquake slams into both her primarina and skeledirge and deals damage to them both. That earthquake was a problem and Melody had to deal with it quickly as it'd make her skeledirge singing with the fishes quickly. "Alright you two! Give them a duet!" she orders as the SKELEDIRGE fires off a TORCH SONG towards THE CLOSER OPPONENT (you can pick!) as it looked to raise it's SPECIAL ATTACK. [break][break]

While he attacked, she followed his lead complimenting his fire with her ice as she opened her maw and unleashed an ICY WIND onto BOTH of the enemy to lower their SPEED

Melody's duet wiped out Josh's advantage; microscopic crystals from Ariel's ICY WIND compromised the flight surfaces of the gliding steel-type's wings. "Bladestorm, snap out of it! Use your ROCK SLIDE!" No such attack came; even when on a collision course with the arena floor, all the Metal Menace could do was shed more of his SPIKES, slowly restoring Melody's side of the battleground to how it was before her Primarina used the last wave of them as projectile weapons.

The out-of-control bird crashed into the flames of Louis' TORCH SONG. Whether by intent or happenstance, she had shielded Nitro from an otherwise match-ending attack. Josh was losing control of the battle. Not wanting to bear the agony of losing to the Unwavering a second time, he squinted, in a zen state not unlike the one during his racing challenges. As nice of a leader as she was, and as talented as she was, he wasn't going to let her steal this match from under his nose.

This was his moment to shine.

Feeling the trainer's energy, even Raikiri snarled, startling Josh as he suddenly reared to cheer Nitro on. His paws crackled with fireworks-like electricity after Josh withdrew the fallen and exhausted Skarmory, hurling forward the Poké Ball containing his own water-type: Snacker the Sharpedo.

The young rider's next move could easily determine the outcome of the battle. Not one to hum and haw over a complex plan of action, he was one to trust his instincts. As much as he was uncertain the speedy shark could withstand even a single Sparkling Aria from the alto, it was a chance he had to take. Louis was too much of a threat to completely ignore. "Nitro, HORN LEECH."

Lowering his horns, the grass-type faced Ariel to ram and trample the fairy-type. Landing a clean hit would be more difficult than the Leader was used to, his stiffness from the ICY WIND reducing his speed to that of a typical Gogoat. Not slow by any stretch, but not the blistering speed Melody may have been used to from the Mauville Leader. The dark-type took advantage of the waterfalls on the arena's edges, swimming up one of them before attempting to crash into Louis to LIQUIDATE them.

The rock slide pins her movements, her Primarina's tail caught by the ROCK SLIDE that descended upon her. It didn't cause a mortal wound but she certainly was stuck in place for a HORN LEECH. She's pinned against the waterfall, water splashing around them as suddenly the pokemon swirls with infinity energy. [break][break]

"Let's go Primarina!" she says as the Pokémon expects to use crashing crescendo this time, however it's not the order she receives. "Song of healing!" She as Primarina follows the order nonetheless, the water that splashed around from slamming into the wall then forms a thin circle around Primarina and also moves around to cover the Skeledirge to heal it as well. [break][break]

The two pokemon are now protected from STATUS EFFECTS and will gradually HEAL over time. In addition, the skeledirge looks to tank the hit from the LIQUIDATION and she gives her order "SLACK OFF!" as the Pokémon takes the liquidation and lays down to RESTORE HIS HP. [break][break]

"What will you do now?" she asks

While it wasn't the direct counterattack Josh was expecting, Ariel's healing aria was far worse. With the Pokémon he had left, it really put him on a clock. Just as at his Gym, the longer the battles with his challengers went, the less likely he was to win. The same applied to his battle here. He had to end it now.

"We can't allow that Skeledirge one wink of shut-eye! AQUA JET, Snacker!" A laser-like beam of water shot from its rear, the shark's mouth wide open as it rammed the fire-type, Josh hopeful that his quickness would punish the lazy Louis.

Nitro wasn't going to ignore the Primarina, either; as captivating as Josh found Ariel song, there would be time to listen to their performance another day. Invigorated by feeding on Primarina's excess life force, the racing grass-type put that energy to use, lowering electrified horns and crashing toward Ariel in a WILD CHARGE.
