Round Twenty-Four: Josh vs. Mint [VCT]

"Attention all Vital City Tournament participants. Pairings are up for round twenty-four. Pairings are up for round twenty-four. This will be the final round of Swiss. After this round, the list of participants advancing to tomorrow's elimination rounds will be announced in the central commons."

Josh was so tired that he didn't even leave the arena; he simply sat on a bench on the sideline, having asked to take his Zeraora to the healing machine for him. It took the final pairing announcement to get him to stand up. Thankfully, his final round would be located at the same arena he was already sitting at.

His brain was functioning so slowly outside the matches that he didn't even recognize that his final round opponent was , a content creator he had very fond memories of a Gym Challenge with. All he managed was a weak wave as the countdown to the start of the match ticked onward. His Zeraora, Raikiri, was more lively than he was.

Mint is only partially paying attention to the speakers, stepping onto the pitch and soaking up the attention from the crowds and the fan. Straciatella is resting, idly sitting on the pitch as they wait for the Gym Leader to take his place on the other side. He looks exhausted, which might be an advantage for them. A shame though, but perhaps this isn't the best of rematches. [break][break]

OH well, best 2 out of 3. Mint would take the win without complaint either way. "Hey Josh!" he said waving at him, cheerful as ever. His Rotom beeped for the man's attention before zooming upwards to take a shot of the pitch below. "This is Straciatella, lets have a good match!"

Josh was too tired to respond to Mint with anything other than a smile at the familiar face. His Zeraora, Raikiri, would be on his own in the battle, though he would largely be able to function without his trainer's help. The Gym Leader's red eyes widened at the sound of the starting horn before closing to slits again.

Taking his time to size up his opponent, Raikiri ran circles around the Abomasnow, showcasing his great speed and AGILITY. When he had built up enough speed, his paws screeched against the court floor as he about-faced, his paws igniting. He zoomed toward his foe, pouncing with the force of a Conkeldurr's FIRE PUNCH.

Straciatella moves on the defensive, SNOW WARNING summoning a huge snowstorm. "Go for it Tella!" he shouted, giving her a thumbs up and a cheer. The ice type summons a sudden AURORA VEIL to protect herself from the sudden surge of fire.

The sudden and heavy precipitation, alongside the AURORA VEIL, put out the flames. Slush covered the battle court, making impossible for the mythical feline to use his Fire Punch again. No bother; Josh could weaponize his Pokémon's speed and take advantage of the inclement weather. "Raikiri, AGILITY!"

At his trainer's command, the already fast cat zipped around the Abomasnow in circles so fast that it would have been difficult to track in clear weather. In the snowstorm Tella had called forth, the speed may have made him nearly invisible. It was all setup to end the match in a single attack: a brutally fast one that Mint may have been familiar with.

Straciatella flinched back from the FIRE PUNCH before tensing up as she got ready to hit back. The Abomasnow began glowing iridescent in tandem with Mint's earring. "Go for it, girl!" he shouted ass the dual type transformed amongst the howling snowstorm. She doesn't have to try to hit Rakiri, if she just drops more snow on the pitch. Roaring after transforming, the Abomasnow summoned a BLIZZARD, while Mint pulled down some goggles so he could see the action amongst thee white out.

The Abomasnow's MEGA EVOLUTION would bring with it a much more intense snowstorm. Whiteout conditions impending, they would prove to make it difficult for Raikiri to close the match out if he didn't try to land the finishing blow now. Josh nodded in agreement, twisting his arm to expose his Zeraora to the energy of his glove's Z-CRYSTAL.

The HYPERSONIC PLASMA CHARGE to come would only last a split second. To the untrained eye, the blindingly fast charge would look like the electric-type teleported from one side to another. If the Abomasnow could remain steadfast amidst the triple threat of electrified paws coming at her at supersonic speed, the line of lightning bolts in his wake, and the sonic explosion from the move's unmatched land speed, the ice-type would have a firm hold on the match!

"Everything you got, girl!" he shouted over the howling winds and snow. She inhaled deeply as Rakiri began to gather energy from the Z-Crystal, before attempting to blast forth a SHEER COLD.

The SHEER COLD attack was simply too slow; by the time the ice-type was able to fire it off, Raikiri was already on the other side. The judges having seen enough, they promptly waved red flags Mint's way, declaring Josh the winner. It was a clean sweep for the Zeraora: a flawless victory he needed in his final round.

Mint would not get a response from the zombie-state Gym Leader; he stumbled toward the bench he was sitting on before, collapsing onto it and nearly kicking the legs of another person sitting there. He would be back the next day; when he woke up to check his standings, Josh would find himself with an impressive main-tournament record of 19 wins and 5 losses.

Straciatella falls, and Mint has to guard himself from the wind that snaps his way. But when the dust settles and the snowstorm fades he returns Straciatella back. "Congrats on the win!" he shouted to an exhausted looking Josh. Mint, who's only involvement was giving his pokemon permission to act as she pleased, was still rather perky and instead directs this cheer to the crowd ever under a loss.
