With the sun having set, the tournament was starting to wind down. Reduced arena capacity meant getting matches in was more difficult, the remaining trainers limited to the ones indoors or otherwise artificially lit. On the second round of her current flight, Shalin spotted a familiar face on the other side of her assigned arena.

"Raju!" Shalin waved, greeting the familiar face. "Great running into you again. How's the tournament been for you?" she asked, her blue-eyed Beedrill wrapping one of her forelegs around her as if to hug her.

So, his next opponent was Shalin? Interesting. Speaking of...she just called his name. Looking up, the blonde waved at her. "Fun. Big Bert has been enjoying himself. You ready?" The match on the field was just ending. The strange woman had met his Kilowattrel and Gyarados, but not his Tauros. After some minor clean up, the next match was called, their's. Getting up, he went to his side of the field, and released the Blaze Breed Paldean Tauros, his main ground fighter. Complete with a red bull ring, the beast reared up and slammed his hooves into the ground. After a loss, he was fresh and wanted to net a victory. "Meet Big Bert. Ready whenever you are." The Tauros was eager to get it started. But he also knew that he needed to hold back until the go order was sent.

Big Bert looked strong. Strong enough to fling even the talented rider off his back with ease. Maybe one day, she would find a Blaze Breed Tauros of her own and find out for herself. Even if she couldn't last long, fighting against the type of flailing one was capable of seemed fun.

As the starting horn sounded, Queen Zing wasted no time, stretching her venom-coated foreleg stings toward the black-skinned bovine. Drawing her left sting back, she thrust it toward her foe. Were it to strike, the POISON JAB would make even the fire-type feel a burning sensation, the toxic substance eating at him from the inside out.

The Beedrill didn't waste time, zooming forward with a venom drenched stinger for a Poison Jab. BB ran forward to meet it, engulfing himself in flames, though mostly concentrated at his glowing red horns for Raging Bull. The big guy was full intending to use his horns to defend and strike back against the stinger. Still, Raju had a gut feeling that something wasn't right. Beedrill, even when trained well, were not that strong. This one could be an exception, but Raju's gut hadn't steered him wrong yet. The bee was larger than typical, and considering what this lady was doing when they first met...well, he hoped the trick wouldn't be too overwhelming for them. The stinger and horns collided, sparks, embers, and droplets of venom going in all directions. The blonde waited patiently for the results.

The impact cracked Queen Zing's carapace, embers dropping through the point of impact and leaving the wasp in trouble already. Shalin had little choice; raising her hand in front of her MEGA CIRCLET, she directed the Infinity Energy radiating from it toward the vicious-looking wasp. Two more forelegs grew new stings in the light of MEGA EVOLUTION.

The once nice-looking Beedrill looked mean and berserk, as though she would sting anything in sight mercilessly. Luckily for the two trainers, she was completely occupied with Big Bert, using her enhanced speed to try to land on the Tauros. Were she successful, she would jab her FELL STINGER into the fire-type as many times as she could.

The impact cracked the bug's carapace. Big Bert pushed forward to try to send the thing flying. However...things were far from over. A wrist band on Shalin glowed, and the Beedrill evolved?! Was this that Mega Evolution thing he's heard about a few times? it looked even more threatening with more stingers and...well, everything. It zipped around, trying to smack the big beast with a Fell Stinger attack. With the major boost in speed, he had to do something, even if he may take some hits. "Scary Face! Then Follow it up with Flame Charge!" The Paldean Tauros gave an intimidatingly scary face to make it flinch or slow down due to fear. Then he charged forward, consumed in flames to meet a Fell Stinger head first! Hopefully the two attacks will lower the speed advantage of the bug...and maybe Big Bert can get another solid hit in...

The exchange of horn and stinger was brutal. Big Bert's horn punctured the Mega Evolved wasp's hard carapace, while it looked like the injection site on the fire-type's skin would swell at any moment. Even such a tough Pokémon might have trouble remaining composed in the face of such potent, skin-dissolving venom.

Only the adrenaline of being on an Infinity Energy high kept Queen Zing in peak fighting form. Once she reverted to her standard form, she would barely have the energy to battle. She had to make this volley of four-pronged POISON JABS count!

While Big Bert did do some damage, the big black beast was still knocked back some, purple ooze sliding off the side of his face. Along with some black hair. Which actually kind of pissed off both Big Bert and Raju. Like, really? If your venom is that potent, keep the damn bug at home, she's way too strong to be doing normal battles! But fire was still his best weapon. It wasn't like BB wasn't giving as good as he got. Not by a long shot, seeing those cracks in the bee's shell. Horns glowing red again, the beast blazed forward with renewed vigor with Raging Bull! He was going to match each stinger with searing hot horns!

Searing horn met oozing stinger, Big Bert's immense strength repelling the insectile menace and causing her to revert to her much friendlier form. Even so, the damage had already been done; even a Pokémon like a Tauros would find its strength sapped by venom ravaging its insides.

Queen Zing's apex strength having left her, Shalin waved with both hands toward her noisy Pokémon. The gesture was meant to communicate an order to keep away from the Tauros and let the venom do its work. By churning her wings to form a TAILWIND behind her, she was able to maintain the same speed she flew at while Mega Evolved, but without the ability to counterattack. She didn't need to; Shalin was watching Big Bert's stamina tick down on her VITAL GEAR. It was only a matter of time before her victory, even if her Pokémon remained passing.

Searing hot horns met with oozing stingers, with neither one initially taking an advantage. Until BB stumbled back from the impact. A combination of the poison and the hit it seems. Still, it was enough to force the Beedrill back to its normal and far weaker form. Then the bee used Tailwind, increasing her own speed. Shaking his head, Big Bert went in with a Zen Headbutt, psychic energy swirling around his head. It was a good attack that often caught people off guard against the fighting and fire type. The problem would be hitting the bug with it. Normally, it wouldn't do much against such a creature, but with it being part poison, it was weak to the attack. They were going to go out fighting, like always! He just hoped they wouldn't go down very quickly...

What impeccable timing from the Tauros! No wonder Raju was 's Gym Trainer; it took a special kind of eyesight to be able to track such a fast-moving Pokémon, let alone land an attack on it. Not expecting the black bull to be able to attack from a distance, fleeing the bovine was no longer an option.

She had to make a disabling move in the last few seconds.

Lacking the strength for a Drill Run, the only attack that Queen Zing had the strength left for was a thrust of her FELL STINGER. Slowing down to the point where she was visible to the naked eye, she raised her abdomen to Big Bert's face level, the extended barb a terrifying sight for many people and Pokémon. Shalin had the timer to worry about, too: with the final seconds ticking down, the match could easily go to a judge decision. With how Raju's Pokémon hung tough in the face of defeat, the decision could go either way!

Big Bert managed to smack the bug right out of the sky! Knocking it down closer to the ground, they stared off, and charged one last time. Horns glowing red for flames, the Raging Bull attack was ready for the knock out blow! The Beedrill wasn't done either, though. With an act of defiance, the bee got up and flew straight at them, barb at the ready with a Fell Stinger. Both pokemon past each other in a flash, but only one attack struck. Granted, it was still possible that the poison would take BB down. Either way, the beasts stood still, the silence deafening, and both refusing to go down. Everyone waited with baited breath to see which one won the battle. Even Raju didn't see which one struck true.

A split second before the stinger entered Big Bert's body, the horn sounded, signifying the end of the match. The judges waved off Shalin's final attack, the girl shrugging and raising her hands in disgust when they announced her finishing blow would not count. The victory was awarded to after a very quick huddle.

"He's strong!" Shalin chirped, quickly getting over the sting of her loss. "We should meet up again after the tournament. I'd love to see Big Bert try to buck me off. Did I tell you I'm Hoenn's wildest and most talented Pokémon rider?" she bragged. Raju may have known one more talented, though. Possibly one he worked for.

Something fishy was going on there. They both hit, from his angle, but the judges determined him the winner. It was very wierd to him. But whatever. She chirped over to him as he returned his Pokemon. Buck her off? "Good luck. called dibs anyways. But it'll have to wait till tomorrow." And give BB time to recover. Either way, he'd offer her a handshake for the good match. It was an intense battle...Raju almost felt drained afterward. Like he had just beaten down three to four people. Which he had done before. Either way, it was time to go to the Pokemon Center first. Then off to the next round!
