Her hand smooths over the top of her mightena’s head before they step out onto the pitch. Quietly, Blue murmurs praise to her companion, acknowledgement for all of the hard work Bonnie has put into the tournament thus far. She will eat extra well tonight–maybe she doesn’t have a ton of pocket cash, but she’s certain it will go to the spoiled canine.[break][break]
This is unsurprising, though, of course. Bonnie has always been, and likely always will be, one of her favored companions.[break][break]
Their bond shows as they take their side of the field, with the mightyena lingering close to Blue–her pelt brushing against her side comfortingly. It is uncomfortable for her trainer to be at the center of so much public attention, and she knows this. It’s a consolation that Blue appreciates. Particularly as she now faces off against a new opponent–one she has just been recently told is a quick-footed gym leader.[break][break]
Her chin tips up in acknowledgement, a quiet greeting.

In the waning moments of the tournament, a waitlist had formed for arena capacity. Anyone who was in line when time was called would get to play their flight, but no new entries would be accepted. Entering his assigned arena, he waved back to .

"Great to meet you!" the Mauville Leader said, smiling and ready for what he thought would be an easy win. "Gym Leader Devlin, but please, call me Josh. And this is Raikiri," he gestured toward the feral-looking Zeraora that ran on all fours. The thundercat looked ready to pounce Bonnie the moment that starting horn sounded.

It was a friendly enough greeting, and Blue nodded respectfully for his position though she wasn’t nearly so chipper. Her awkwardness kept her somewhat uptight as she motioned to her companion. “Nice to meet you, Josh. I’m Blue– this is Bonnie.” In her hand, a tera orb gleamed before she tapped it. A sparkling ray of light swallowed up the canine to encase her in poison tera crystals.[break][break]
Eyeing the zeraora, Bonnie was equally as prepared. Newly terastalized, the mightyena crouched as violet crystals embedded in her fur clinked together. Sharp teeth tinged with toxicity gleamed as the horn blared, and then she lunged forward– keeping herself low to the ground as she tried to sink POISON FANGS into the feline’s leg from the jump.

As the horn blared, Raikiri was just as quickly on the offensive, if not more so. The two raced toward each other at a frightening closing speed that, were the Zeraora's body not meant to withstand it, would have given him a concussion. His paws were not laced with voltage, though the QUICK ATTACK would not be any easier to evade.

Raikiri didn't care if the Mightyena's POISON FANGS nicked him; they would likely be in contact with the cool cat for such a small amount of time that the venom would be a nuisance at worst. Even so, the longer the battle went, the more likely it would end in the dark-type's favor. He had to close this one out as soon as he could.

The fact that the zeraora also pelted toward her at full speed did little to deter Bonnie. Though the quick attack knocked into her with rattling force as she bit down, the mightyena unclamped her jaw quickly and kept right on running past.[break][break]
She whirled around for a second run, much like a lancer on the back of a rapidash might circle back for a second sprint. Head down, she charged forward to barrel into Raikiri, full-tilt in the effort to TAKE DOWN the electric feline.

Blue and Josh seemed to have similar battling styles, their Pokémon trying to nick each other with their natural weapons as they sped past one another like medieval knights on the backs of equines. The dark-type had the advantage, imbibing Raikiri with more venom than the Gym Leader anticipated. He couldn't ignore the pain, Josh frowning as he watched his big cat slow down.

In perhaps an unexpected move, Raikiri slammed on the brakes, a screeching sound threatening to shatter glass around them. This would not only throw off the Mightyena's timing and potentially cause it to sail over the Zeraora, but would also ignite his paws for a FIRE PUNCH-like followup.

The measures that Bonnie took to match the zeraora were impressive. Normally, the mightyena took a bit of a free for all approach, but perhaps it was a testament to the fact that Blue had been trying a bit more in her training that she was so controlled. She had never really considered herself an adept trainer so much as someone who was just out here trying to get by.[break][break]
But it sorta got her fired up a bit, didn’t it?[break][break]
Raikiri’s attack certainly threw off the mightyena and she overcompensated—barreling by. Unable to swing around fast enough, the FIRE PUNCH caught her square in the flank, flames singeing her fur as she snarled. Lashing out, Bonnie twisted, front paws swiping out with her full weight to smack at her opponent in her bid to PLAY ROUGH.

The body slam was a nasty blow, leaving Raikiri dazed for a critical moment while the dark-type swiped at him from above. While the Zeraora was not wearing his saddle, he was still furious at the dog for trying to "ride" him. No one except Josh and anyone he approved of rode Raikiri. No one.

With a loud roar, the angry thundercat bucked and thrashed violently to try to hurl the Mightyena away. Josh winced just watching the exchange, fortunate Shalin had never come to his Gym trying to hop on the thundercat's back. Surely even her iron-hard spine couldn't withstand that kind of force, right?

The zeraora clearly didn’t take too kindly to Bonnie’s method of attack. Blue winced at the thundercat’s effort to heave her off of him was successful. The mightyena yelped as she rolled across the pitch before her claws dug into the ground and she skidded to a stop. Her legs wobbled as she pushed herself back up to all fours. It was a bit of a struggle, but she wasn’t quitting just yet.[break][break]

A growl, followed by a series of barks, were hurled at the feline before Bonnie sprang, paws thudding as she opened her maw to let a howl of TOXIC air spray out at her opponent. If anything, at least, to slow Raikiri down.

The TOXIC spray was a wonderful idea to slow down most incredibly fast opponents. It was a common ploy used by challengers to Mauville Gym on a daily basis. It would take more than just venom to tense up Raikiri's muscles. As the Zeraora's QUICKINIUM-Z crystal glowed alongside Josh's Z-GLOVE, it was clear he wouldn't give poor Blue the chance to even do that.

As the mist went flying toward him, the thundercat disappeared into a HYPERSONIC PLASMA CHARGE that was beyond fast. Seemingly warping from one corner of the battle court to the other in a split second, the Mightyena would have to remain standing after the Z-Move's triple threat. The Mightyena needed to withstand supersonic paws, lightning bolts crashing in the wake of his trampling attack, and the shockwave that came with the Zeraora breaking the sound barrier if Blue were to remain in the match!

There was no way that Bonnie was holding up to the power of that z-move. She’d weathered one earlier in the tourney and had come out on top, but the zeraora’s prior attack had already done a number on her. She was already staggering, trying to keep her footing so that she could gear up for her next move.[break][break]
But the cat was moving too fast—even for the TOXIC spray to slow his pace. Her effort had been too little too late. The mightyena struggled to track Raikiri’s movements as he sped up to little more than a golden blur on the field. It was a futile attempt. The electrified attack crashed into her and Bonnie crumpled like a stone falling heavy on the floor of the pitch.[break][break]
Blue whistled low at the intensity of the move as she raised a pokeball to recall her companion in a beam of light. “That was next level,” she muttered aloud, mostly to herself. Then she looked up at the gym leader with a short nod. “Good game.”

"Thanks!" Josh replied, his smile widening. "That move was the result of months of study. It's the Mauville Gym special. Not a lot of people can overcome it." The greatest misunderstanding of the supersonic ramming and trampling attack was that the physical slicing and dicing by paw and claw was the biggest threat. To many Pokémon, it was actually the sonic boom that followed.

"Good luck to you if you're trying to squeeze more matches in," Josh added before waving goodbye. "See you around, Blue!" With that, he turned around to get his Zeraora patched up. Two more match wins, and some lovely spending money would be all his.
