Oscar was not really interested in the Vital City Tournament, at least not yet. The last time he participated in a tournament he nearly died from exhaustion. However, he would still find himself in Lilycove as the tournament had attracted a truly bizarre phenomenon. There were reports of a legendary pokemon flying over the city, causing a massive storm with a unique energy signature. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to test out a theory of his.

Well it was not just his theory, Oscar would be accompanied by Tempest Quinn for this adventure. Temp had approached Oscar about feeding Zapdos different kinds of energy to see how it would affect it. Oscar was interested, but their busy schedules prevented a true initiation of the project. Now though, nothing was in the way. It was the perfect time to expand the diet of the legendary thunder bird.

Oscar stood on top of the Lilycove hotel, tossing Zapdos's pokeball between his hands. He was staring into the sky, watching the storm clouds roll against each other. No doubt thundurus was hiding behind those very clouds, but not for long. Just needed Temp to arrive.

A grumble left Tempest as he checked the app once again; he had shit to do and the Tourney was getting in his way. The request for a pause in battles went through successfully this time. Thank Mother. It had fucked up the first time and made him late. It sucked when you had to play nice with the rules.[break][break]

Now, though, he met up with oscar clayton. Face flushed from the long jog, he gave the other an apologetic grin. [break][break]

"Sorry, dude." A glance over at Zapdos. Tempest gave a nod to the legendary bird as well.[break][break]

"You think it's here?"

A few minutes into his wait, Oscar would go ahead and let Zapdos out. The least he could do was let the poor thing stretch. There was a flash of red, followed by a hail of sparks as Zapdos stretched itself out. It opened its beak to let out a mighty caw, but after remember its earlier conversation with Oscar it would stop itself. Oscar nodded, "I appreciate the restraint. We don't need to draw too much attention to ourselves."

Temp arrived shortly after, and Oscar would greet him warmly. "Don't sweat it man, we have some time to burn." As Temp nodded to Zapdos, Zapdos would nod back before looking up to the sky. Something about the static in the air seemed--different. It found the sensation disturbing. Oscar pulled out a pokeball as he thought of the best way to respond to Temp's question.

"I think so, I mean look at this fuckin' storm! The clouds look like clumps of fuckin' coal. It has gotta be in the area." Oscar opened the pokeball, revealing Vlad the Gliscor. Oscar figured that a ground type flyer would be useful when dealing with electricity. Oscar mounted an eager Vlad while giving instructions to Temp. "I figured we would just keep our distance and let Zapdos do its thing. We should only have to intervene if Zapdos gets its ass kicked, which it shouldn't. I mean c'mon, it's fuckin' Zapdos."

"We should probably still be careful. Zap is still low power mode, right?" No sense in being reckless.[break][break]

Tempest nodded to Zapdos again as oscar clayton got ready to take off.[break][break]

"No offense, by the way. I'm sure you could out-fry whatever the fuck this thunder-bitch is."[break][break]

Tempest frowned lightly. Then, with a sigh, he tossed out his Genesect. A quick order and it shifted into it's flying mode, which Temp stepped onto with only a bit of trepidation. He really didn't like doing this but it was his only reliable flying mount.[break][break]

"Maybe asking the Water Specialist wasn't the best idea." Temp half joked as SWITCH powered her thrusters lifting off the ground after the other man.

Oscar looked to Zapdos as Temp mentioned it being weakened. Had something happened after they parted ways? Zapdos did not look back to either of them, its gaze hardening as it continued to leer toward the sky. It would seem that Temp's comment had only encouraged its desire to prove itself.

Without warning, Zapdos would flap its wings and take flight. Oscar jumped a bit before tapping Vlad on the head. "Follow from afar but don't lose sight of it!" Vlad groaned, already understanding what it had to do. He took to the sky, trying to keep close enough to keep up with Zapdos without being in the way. Oscar looked back at Temp and winced as he saw him flying on his Genesect. Oscar would have used his own Genesect, but he was afraid that its steel body would too easily conduct electricity.

He called back to his friend, "Just don't get fried! Cillian will fuckin' kill me!" The trio entered the storm's threshold, static bouncing across their bodies as they broke through the clouds. Zapdos looked the most impressive, its body almost glowing as electricity rippled through its feathers. It gave Oscar hope that this skirmish would not go so badly after all.

Within the fortress of clouds, lightning would crash around them. The power of the storm was incredible, yet there was no sign of Thundurus. Zapdos would not seek out this false storm master, all opponents must bow before the true king of lightning. Zapdos let out an echoing screech, lightning bursting from its wings. Thunder crackled across the surrounding clouds, flowing endlessly across Lilycove's sky.

The challenge had been issued.

(For the remainder of this thread, Zapdos will be played by Genesect PRIME.)[break][break]

Tempest watched a Zapdos fired out a shining bolt of electricity, the electric Techo Blast arcing through the clouds. It made Zapdos' purple chrome body arc with reflected light. Under his feet, SWITCH beeped out a complicated code of jealously at the display of power.[break][break]

All was silent for a long, pregnant pause. Only the echoes of thunder rumbling and flashes of lighting from inside the copse of thick clouds.[break][break]

Then movement, the shifting of wind and a smell of ozone on the air. Lighting crashed, closer and brighter, illuminating a massive shape from inside. One that was drawing closer and closer. Challenge received.[break][break]

"Is that thing it? Shit, it's uglier than I thought." Was called to oscar clayton over the wind.

The clouds before them seemed to part like the curtains on a stage, exposing the majestic figure of thundurus. Its clawed arms were folded, no doubt attempting to appear as imposing as possible to its rival storm lord. When it looked upon 'Zapdos', it arced one of its eyebrows. It could have sworn it looked more--bird like in the silhouette it saw earlier.

'Zapdos' let out a metallic screech, a battle cry that sounded a lot like Genesect Prime's signature yawp. Oscar scratched the back of his neck, unsure what was going to happen during this confrontation. Hopefully their side came out on top, as 'Zapdos' was very expensive to repair.

Not one for pageantry, 'Zapdos' would take the initiative to unleash the first attack. Its cannon began absorbing the electricity in the air before unleashing it as a massive beam of electric energy (Techno Blast). The thundurus stood still, taking the blast head on. There was a bright flash on impact, prompting the roar of thunder to ring out across the sky. As the flash died down, thundurus would appear unaffected. In fact, it would seem to be even more powerful, having absorbed the electric attack in its entirety (Volt Absorb).

'Zapdos' looked back to Oscar and shrugged, and Oscar would look over to Temp. "I think this is our cue to run."
