Registration for the tournament had officially closed. This would be Josh's final match: the last chance he had to impact the leaderboard and solidify his position. It seemed like was too far ahead to catch, but until all the match slips were in, it would be impossible to tell. There were a lot of grinders out there trying to pad their scores and secure a podium spot.

His final opponent would be a familiar face: . "Hi there, speed racer!" he teased, Raikiri purring menacingly. The Zeraora stood on all fours like a feral feline, his paws already glowing yellow and white with electrical arcs.

"Sup, Master of Faster," Yvaine salutes the gym leader with a grin. "Been a while, hasn't it?" To Raikiri's feral feline vibes, Yvaine's Zoroark replied in tandem, baring teeth and raising itself unto its hind legs, stretching as tall as its body would allow it to. There was a challenge in its stance, come what may.

Raring to go it stepped unto the field of battle one more time, letting out an excited howl as it looked at Josh and his Zeraora.

"I'd love to see how fast you are on the battle court as well, so let's give this a go, shall we?"

"It has been!" Josh replied, having to speak up over Raikiri's loud purring. "He's the fastest Pokémon I've got. Good luck keeping up with him!"

As to prove his point, the feline lunged at the red and black fox the moment he heard the starting horn. Paw and claw would come at the Zoroark in a QUICK ATTACK too fast for the untrained eye to follow, while also letting Raikiri keep his distance. If the dark-type did not have ranged attacks in his arsenal, this would be a joust -- a battle wholly in the Gym Leader's element!

There were two choices to counter Raikiri's speedy onslaught; try and match its speed, or keep it out of physical reach. Both daring endeavours, but it would try.

Emboldened by its trainer's voice, Zoroark does the first. Agility, and it dashes forth, a dance of swiftness and speedy grace as two blurs of yellow and dark clash. The illusionary fox tries its best, but finds Raikiri's hits landing far more than his own, until one connects with its face, sending it backwards.

A Night Daze follows suit as it tries to find its footing, hoping to keep the Zeraora at bay long enough to recover from the flurry of strikes it has received.

By the time the NIGHT DAZE burst, Raikiri was already gone, his natural gaze averting the dark-type attack. His speed was on par with legendary Pokémon known for it, having lots of experience racing against them. Perhaps one cay, he would get another legendary challenger other than and his Articuno.

Josh guffawed at the redhead's attempt to match the speed of one of the fastest Pokémon on land. "Here, let me show you how that's done," he taunted the foe, Raikiri putting on a burst of AGILITY of his own. Even he had a difficult time following the extreme movements of the volt-laced comet zipping from corner to corner.

"Impressive! But all we can do is try to keep up!"

In a race she knew her Zoroark would never keep up with the Zeraora; if it was a matter of speed vs speed it wouldn't be able to win. But in battle, they had a chance. Since they were little it had been like that; them against the world, a constant battle for survival. And now, all they needed to do was tap into that feeling once more.

Not trying to one-up its speed, but to use it at the right moment to intercept. Zoroark closed its eyes and perked its ears, allowing its instincts to take over. Its eyes could nary follow the speed master, but its instincts, those had been honed to overcome such hurdles.

'Night Slash, now!'

And then, it lashed out.

Whether it was by relying on the foe's speed, by the cunning of hunting only by hearing, or sheer luck, the NIGHT SLASH made a clean cut into Raikiri, staining some of his yellow fur red. A lucky shot, but anyone could get lucky once. Josh was still in his element, and with the Zeraora running so fast his trainer could barely track him, he could unleash one of the big cat's most devastating moves.

Spherical electric projectiles formed at the tips of Raikiri's bolt-shaped whiskers and on his teal faceplate. With a roar, the thundercat fired all three toward the Zoroark. If the fox so much as blinked, they would be right on top of him.

Lightning was his speed, and electric were its friends.

When Raikiri flashes past, plucks of yellow fur darting about where Zoroark's claws had hit it previously, the dark-type tries to follow. But the blur of yellow is all it can make out to see, sparks of lightning gathering around it until three spherical orbs become visible.

Zoroark tries to dodge, but to no avail. They volley into its stomach in quick succession, sending the large beast flying, skidding to a halt a fair distance away from the Zeraora. With a grunt the illusionary fox tries to get back up, struggling fiercely and panting once it gets on all fours.

Its energy is forlorn. Now, it decides to await the Speedmaster's next move rather than move first.

Waiting for the Zeraora's move was folly. No matter how much the Zoroark would study and try to brace for impact, there was one move Josh had that was too fast to react to. "Alright, Raikiri! Let's go hypersonic!" the Gym Leader cried, raising his Z-GLOVE to head-level.

In a flash of white and yellow, Raikiri zipped from one corner of the battle court to the other in a HYPERSONIC PLASMA CHARGE, swiping at the dark-type at a speed that was simply too fast to see. Even if Yvaine's Pokémon withstood the initial impact, he would have to also remain standing after a line of lightning bolts and a thunderous shockwave washed over him!

"Let's go hypersonic!"

Both trainer and 'mon inhaled sharply at the gymleader's voice thundering through the stadium, gloved fist raised. They'd faced it once, and now they would face it again--- to this display of speed Zoroark could not fight. Raikiri a mere flash, a bolt of lightning across the field until it was in front of him. And then, suddenly, her Zoroark no longer stood;

The impact of the illusionary fox against the wall behind her left a large dent, bits of debris tumbling down with it as it fell to the ground, utterly defeated. Getting over her initial shock Yvaine rushed over to her partner not even a split second after, recalling him as soon as she made sure the damage he'd sustained wasn't critical.

With a silent huff she rose again and faced Josh. "Well damnit, you do know how to make the speed difference clear as hell, don'tcha?" she grinned at the Master of Faster. "Expect me around soon for a rematch!"



Yvaine LOST!

Yvaine's reaction to Josh's signature move, and the signature move of Mauville Gym, was not unexpected. If it was one thing he was proud of, it was that he was the second fastest trainer in Hoenn. It took the emerald serpent, arguably the fastest Pokémon in the world, to dethrone him.

The Gym Leader smiled as he walked over to Yvaine to get both their ignatures on the match slip. "Heh, that's what I do!" he answered with a smirk. "You think that's awesome to see, wait until you sit in his saddle when he uses that move!" He wouldn't acknowledge the rematch request verbally; only with a thumbs-up.

She smirks, acknowledging his reply in silence. "I'm quite sure that's your place to sit, but don't mind me if I come to see it happen firsthand one day."

Yvaine says her goodbyes after concluding the match, leaving the stadium to nurse another defeat.



Yvaine LOST!
