His Pinsir’s chitinous carapace gleamed nigh-gold; Lucan’s teeth were sharp and gnashing, his horns snapping and strong. Onyx wondered how long it would take before he got his shit bashed into the ground, which seemed to keep happening.

“I’m Jett, and this is Lucan,” he said, using the fake name he’d signed up under. He’d found your opponents seemed to like it more when you introduced yourself, even though he didn’t really care to.

"Ayooo!" Doug said cheerfully as he marched up to the Pinsir, squatting down to offer a high-five. "Classy as hell! How ya doing, Lucan? Pleasure's all mine!"

A bug type, and one of Kanto's favorites at that? Behind him, Kama the Scyther nodded at the Pinsir stoically before beginning to stretch.

Doug grinned over at Jett, giving the man a thumbs up.

"I'm John, that's Kama over there. Happy to meet'cha, Jett!" He said as he rose back to his feet, before striding up to his corner of the battlefield. "Let's have a good one, mate!"

TL;DR:
-Geeking out over bugs

His opponent-- John-- is very excited about his Pinsir. More so than any rational person should be. Onyx has the image of tiny John in shorts and one of those net-covered bug-catcher hats.
[break][break]
“Right,” he says, with a curt nod, somewhat cowed in the face of such enthusiasm. “Lucan, x-scissor.”
[break][break]
His Pinsir howls and charges.

"No dancing around it— Overpower 'im!" He ordered with a dramatic swipe of the arm, his Scyther launching forth to swing her scythes at the other's pincers, intent on driving him to the ground while his balance was off.

"Then create some distance with Vacuum wave!"

The plan was simple; come at the opponent at an angle while his center of mass was shifted to his pincers, then deliver a free blow while creating distance with Vacuum wave.

If Kama's first strike didn't get repelled—

TL;DR:
-Kama used Fury Cutter!

It was a bug vs bug showdown, and only the best bug was going to win. Scythe met pincer as the two clashed.
[break][break]
Onyx tilted his head. “Good plan,” he said, remarking on his opponent’s strategy. Unfortunately, Kama underestimated Lucan’s pure physicality, and his sheer, dumb, stupid stubbornness, as he weathered the vacuum wave and tried to grapple the Scyther with vital throw.

The Scyther's eyes grew wide as she was repelled through sheer might, neither gravity nor tactics capable of overpowering the sheer force behind the stubborn bug's rampage.

Doug held a shaking fist up. Ah, the sheer brute strength of a Pinsir... as beautiful to see as ever...

Wait.

"I was too hasty. You can't match his brute force!" He said, swiping his arm. "Use your speed and strike while remaining at range!"

Nodding, Kama attempted to leap back as her opponent came at her once again, her wings flapping wildly as she swung her arms, harsh winds whipping up towards the approaching Pinsir.

TL;DR:
-Kama used Vacuum wave!

The Scyther backing off put Lucan at a disadvantage. He had stubby little legs and noodly little arms-- good for close range grappling, but he did not have a ranged attack one in his playbook.
[break][break]
The vacuum wave at a distance lifted him up and spun him around like clothes in a washing machine. It was only by Onyx touching the Mega-stone in his pocket and activating the transformation that Lucan was able to break free of the windy assault, wings bursting from his back in a spray of olive-yellow blood, as he couched his horn and flew towards the Scyther with another superpower.

Vs Straub

With the sudden burst of both power and speed, Kama found herself getting smashed into at high speed, her body coiling around her opponent's form briefly before getting launched back like a bullet, skipping along the soil like a rock over the water's surface before crashing into a brick wall.

The wind was knocked out of her as she fell forward and onto her knees, her scythes coming down to prop her up as Doug spun on his heel towards her.

Mercifully— her chitin carapace offered good protection against brunt of blunt strikes, and her flapping wings had slowed her down... however slightly.

"Kama! Still on this?!" Doug asked her with a shout, to which she flung herself back to her feet, panting hard.

She was still in this!

TL;DR:
-Not even rolling brah, Kama gets smacked lmao!

Lucan tackled the Scyther, who went flying backwards, until she hit something with slightly more resistance.
[break][break]
When she got back up and re-entered the fight, Onyx raised an eyebrow, impressed.
[break][break]
“Guillotine,” he commanded, both he and his Pokemon seeing their opponent on the ropes. Lucan snarled and snapped his head-teeth, closing in on the mark, not wanting to give Kama enough time to collect herself.

Talk about a finishing move, jeez!

Still, Kama seemed undaunted by her rapidly approaching opponent, her aura exploding outwards in a mass of red, swirling around her scythe as the opponent came nearer and nearer.

Before she once again took a big risk, lightly trying to sway out of her opponent's attack's path while swinging with her own, releasing a massive whirlwind of pressure at point blank—!

TL;DR:
-Kama used her Z-move: Heaven Cleaver.

There was a moment when both blade-appendages struck each other that time seemed to freeze.
[break][break]
Then, Lucan kept going. He ran out of steam a few strides behind Kama, his wings shearing off and dissipating as the Mega-evolution ran dry.
[break][break]
His opponent, however, had taken the brunt of the attack, and Lucan fell moments after she did.
[break][break]
“Good fight,” Onyx said, recalling his Pinsir. “Your Scyther has… spirit. Good luck in the rest of your matches.”
