Tiamat had lost?! Knowing the Dragonite's strength, that was almost too hard to believe. As the Master of Faster, Josh took full responsibility faster than any other trainer would have.

"Will you stop blaming yourself for five seconds?! We can still win this!" Andrea yelled at him. Friendship partially meant being able to call someone out when they were being a big dum-dum, which was what he was currently doing with his self-martyrdom.

Distracted by Tiamat's fall, the storm of springtime blessings came out of left field, knocking out her Mega Salamence. "Sora, no!" The girl cried out, but the azure dragoness gave her a reassuring nod, making a heartfelt Wish just before fainting.

"Chomper, you're up next!" Andrea said, recalling her Salamence into its Pokéball. Her shiny Hydreigon entered the battlefield, glaring at Lam's Altaria in utter defiance. "Now the REAL real battle begins!"

The windstorm headed Verte's way may have been Fairy-type, but it was still wind. There were very few Pokémon that could produce a more powerful wind than a Flygon could. "Brace, Andrea!" Josh warned his partner. This was gonna hurt Chomper, but it was gonna hurt Lam's team way more.

Planting his feet, Verte started to churn his wings loudly, sounding like a revving engine as they disappeared into streaks of green and red. The Flygon began to squint from flapping his wings back and forth so fast that they began to screech. He let out a loud cry as he gave one last push, his wingtips going supersonic long enough to loose a gigantic shockwave upon all other combatants in the form of a BOOMBURST.

While much of the Fairy-type attack was repelled, what little of it did get through took quite the toll on Verte. Burns covered his skin, particularly around his wings. He certainly wouldn't be able to do that again in this match. Hopefully Andrea wouldn't have to actually blame him if the friendly fire caused issues...

Lam smiled at 's reprimand - not because he thought it would devolve into an argument or bickering, but because stern encouragement could be good among teammates in some crucial moments. He fell silent himself, leaving the conversation to her.[break][break]
A brow rose, though, as the SPRINGTIDE STORM bright the mega salamence down. That, he hadn't quite been expecting. "Good work, Mallow! Keep it up!" he called up to the altaria, who trilled back-[break][break]
Just before the clap of the flygon's BOOMBURST pulsed outward and thew her back in the air. The noivern also wavered in the air - screeching as the sound of the sonic wave crashed over his large ears. Alto's maw opened and a high-decibel SUPERSONIC screech was shot back at the flygon.[break][break]
Mallow, meanwhile, began to glow in a brighter hue - the precursor to a building strike that hadn't yet fallen.

Upon seeing the Flygon's wings vibrate, Andrea covered her ears. Having spent enough time around , she knew exactly what was coming up next. The powerful sound attack did a number on the enemy team, but also on Chomper. Just then, Sora's Wish from earlier bestowed its blessings on the Hydreigon, healing him back to full health.

"That Altaria is the bigger threat." Andrea squinted her eyes at the birdlike dragon as it charged up some kind of big move. Luckily, they had a big move of their own. "This is our chance! Chomper, use your Z-Move! VENGEFUL HYDRA!!"

Her ace was enveloped in a bluish purple aura--his draconic spirit made manifest. That arcane energy solidified into the form of six new heads to complement his existing three. With his total of nine heads, the Brutal Pokémon bore down on a prone Mallow, indiscriminately attacking every body part his many jaws could sink their teeth into.

"If you thought Mallow was safe because she's Fairy type, think again!" The draconic cosplayer boasted with a prideful grin. She could only hope that her tag partner would have the firepower to match her offense.

The burns around Verte's wings looked painful, which made the instinctive defense against Alto's SUPERSONIC even more agonizing for him. Even so, dragon instinct was too mighty to suppress, particulatly in his confusion. The grating vibration continued as the pairs of screeching organs dueled like guitarists of a metal band. In his delirium, all the Flygon could do was flap and buzz his wings, agitating his burns even more. "Verte!" Josh shouted, followed by an incomprehensible command to use a move. No one would hear his drowned-out words.

The glowing energies surrounding Mallow and Chomper looked like clashing Z-Moves to the Gym Leader. He wished he could do more to help, but with his Flygon hysterically buzzing, there was little he could do. It was all up to and her most special Pokémon!

He was sitting good right about now, but resting on his laurels was a terrible idea - something immediately proven by the z-move that Andrea's dragon unleashed. Mallow, still charging the SKY ATTACK had little time to fire it off before she was smacked with the impact of the attack. She let out a confused trill when it actually knocked her back and sent her hurtling to the pitch rather than merely glancing off of her with little effect.[break][break]

As she hit the ground, the altaria's terastalized coat shattered in a radiant pink burst. "Woof! That's a helluva z-move." He made a mental note to ask her about it afterward, but he had to focus now.[break][break]

"Alto, cover!" The noivern redirected his attention from the flygon, humming and struggling in the air, and twisted toward Chomper. His wings sliced through the air with a shriek, sending a volley of AIR SLASHES toward the hydra.[break][break]

Last one. With a toss of a ball, his togekiss joined the field.

"A-another one?!" The dragon-costumed girl blurted out as Lam's Togekiss joined the fray. They had only just managed to defeat his Terastallized Altaria after it had taken out half their team, and now they had to deal with a second Fairy type.

Without access to Chomper's game-breaking move, this was gonna be an uphill battle...

"TRAINER MOVE: SPECIAL SHIELD!" The young PokéManiac quickly reactivated her Sygna Suit, generating a blue barrier that reduced the impact of Noivern's slashes of air. Simply guarding was not enough, though. If they wanted to catch up, they needed to go on the offensive.

"Chomper, use Fire Fang!" Andrea shouted HASTILY, as her signature Hydreigon tried to bite into Togekiss with flame-coated jaws.

The VENGEFUL HYDRA from Andrea rallied Verte out of his delirium and back to his senses. Even then, he was weak, his humming wings starting to wear out from going so hard in his confusion. Both dragons were fast, but the green one had the agility advantage. This was where another Boomburst would have worked so well, but Josh's partner was still hurting from the first one. A less intense attack would have to do.

What Josh didn't expect was Andrea to use her Sygna Suit in the middle of the match. "Wait, those are legal in Gym matches?" he asked, Verte grateful for the cover fire. It gave him the strength to keep fighting. Utilizing his hummingbird-like flight, Verte zipped toward the Noivern and attempted to grab onto his back. If he could do so, he would BUG BUZZ his wings as loud as he could, trying to overload the bat dragon's ears. The purpose of the attack was not to inflict damage, but to weaken or entirely disable its dangerous sonic attacks.

"I'll allow it!" Lam chimed in response to Josh's surprise when Andrea's sygna suit activated it. He hadn't specified otherwise, so it was fine. It was good, quick thinking in his opinion. "Gotta say I'm jealous, though!" It was a slick suit, after all, and he hadn't managed to get his hands on one just yet.[break][break]

It provided a nice buffer too - keeping them safe with an added layer of protection against Egg's attacks. The togekiss trilled in annoyance and then pain as the hydra darted forward, fiery fangs sinking into the soft padding of her wing.[break][break]

But that didn't mean she was down for the count! Tilted in the air, Egg release of a pulsing AURA SPHERE using the radial thrum to repel them apart from one another, away from Chomper's effective chomping.[break][break]

The BUG BUZZ definitely made its mark too. Alto shook his head as the shrill sound combatted his own super sonic attacks. Addled, the noivern lashed out - diving toward the flygon with a maw opened to bite down with SUPER FANGS. If he managed to make contact, that was.

A bead of sweat appeared over Andrea's head. Uh oh... Had she unwittingly broken the rules by using her Sygna Suit? That would be even more damning than Josh bringing an injured Pokémon to the battle. Thankfully, the green-haired Gym Leader approved it.

"Chomper, are you OK?" The draconic cosplayer WORRIEDLY cried out as her partner was struck with a super-effective Fighting-type move. Even with her shield still up and the small bit of healing applied by her suit, her Hydreigon was on its last leg. Verte was not faring much better.

"We're so close! Just hold on a bit longer!" The girl's words of encouragement were topped off by a simple command. "Fly!"

As the pseudo-legendary dragon took off to the skies, Andrea shook her teammate lightly. "This is our last chance! Tell Verte to go for another Boomburst while Chomper's out of range!"

Chomper would not stay out of range forever. He would wait until after the Flygon had attacked, before descending upon Lam's Togekiss with an aerial strike--the second part of using the move Fly.

"Had I known they were legal in your challenge, I would have worn mine, too!" Josh added, his own suit doubling as his racing attire when his Manectric was near. He had left Saber back at Mauville Gym for some of his new hires to get used to. The true power of his suit couldn't be used in an environment like this anyway; to tap into that power, he had to do what he did best: saddle up and put the metaphorical pedal to the metal.

Josh began to protest. "Do you see what kind of condition Verte's--"


His Flygon cut him off, blood seeping from the scales around the base of each of his wings. The dragon again sounded like a race car's engine being pushed to its limits as they got up to speed, Josh having difficulty standing from the wind. "Don't!" he urged his Pokémon to stop. Verte let out a loud chirp, defying his trainer's orders as his wingtips went supersonic for a second time, flinging red goop everywhere. The longer he maintained the sonic burst, the more he bled. "VERRRRRRRRRRRTEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Josh wailed over the high-pitched whine, fearful that the dragon might suffer permanent wing damage from pushing himself so far.

The dizzy ground-type, having overdone it with sonic attacks, collapsed dizzily, blood pooling. Not wanting to see any more, the worried Gym Leader withdrew his second Pokémon, no doubt having to get exams done upon returning to the Pokémon Center. "Please, Andrea, don't let me down. Verte..."
