With the tournament venue to close soon, Shalin was running out of time to get matches in. She was near the top of the rankings somehow, and wanted to do everything she could to solidify her position. wouldn't bop her off the podium if she had anything to say about it!

Signing up for what could be her last tournament flight, she was surprised to see her first round opponent: the Fortree Leader and Birdfather, . Ouch. She would be hard-pressed to walk away with a win from such a fierce opponent. "Surprised I didn't run into you earlier, Alex!" Shalin chirped. "How you been?"

“I was keeping an eye on the weather reports,” he would answer back cryptically—for someone who knew him, then they would know what exactly he meant by that statement.

The clouds were looking a little too bright, though, so today was not going to be one of those days when they would show up.

(And besides, he wanted to keep the existence of his own djinni a secret for as long as possible.)

“But yeah. I was apparently the very last person to make registration before they cut it off and said they weren’t taking any more,” he added.

“So… shall we rumble?”

"Let's! Just because she's meant for riding doesn't mean she's no pushover in battle!" Shalin teased, Queen Zing's piercing buzz drowning out all other noise. Despite her disadvantage, she wasn't going to make this easy for the Braviary; all she needed to do was land one sting, and that bird would feel like he was burning up from the inside out.

She was quick to try to land that one critical blow, too; already raising her abdomen toward the foe, she pushed her venomous FELL STINGER out of her rear, extending it almost as far as she could. If that thing pierced Kyouya's feathers, it was gonna hurt!

There it was, the bell that signified the match had started—and right out of the gate the shiny Beedrill would come in ridiculously close; an attempt to try and get him on the receiving end of the stingers—

They weren’t going to take this lying down, though!

With a cackle, he watched as the Braviary spread his wings wide and rose up to meet the challenge; joining the fray with a surprise Aerial Ace, the better to drive the Beedrill back!

With a powerful talon rake that penetrated the wasp's armor, Kyouya had tossed Queen Zing aside like she was nothing. If he could carry a ton or more of metal into the sky, lifting a Beedrill his own size would be little trouble at all.

Two could play at the speed game, though; the Beedrill, catching herself in flight before she would have smacked the outer wall, buzzed louder, her deafening wings carrying her in AGILITY-powered, high speed circles. The tactic had been written up to confuse the large bird, letting her cut the vibration of one of her wings when the time was right. With a sudden turn, she would stretch her venom-laden foreleg stings toward Kyouya in a flurry of POISON JABS!

Even if the first hit had landed, the fact of the matter was that the Beedrill was fast—and was going to get even faster.

Not that he could also go faster, though! However, it was his reaction time that was much better—and hopefully, just hopefully, the Rock Slide would either impede or stop the incoming attack from the Beedrill!

(Those stingers were fucking scary, okay?!)

It was how Shalin expected the match to go. In a battle between flying insect and soaring bird, the match's outcome was almost predetermined. The stings found Kyouya's ROCK SLIDE instead, warping them and making them unable to pump venom as they were. Shalin had to intervene.

Raising her right hand to her MEGA CIRCLET's Key Stone, it and her Beedrill became enveloped in the vibrant light of MEGA EVOLUTION, the giant, saddled bug back with a vengeance. Sporting two more stings, the wasp would zip toward Kyouya again, this time attempting to spear the blue-winged avian with a flurry of POISON JABS twice as fast as before!

The light of Mega Evolution was his warning that shit was about to go down—

And then the moment the Beedrill grew an extra bunch of stingers, he knew that they were going to be in for another massive problem.

“Oh, shit,” was all he would say quietly as he knew that the other may have backed himself into a corner; while the Braviary let out a surprise squawk of dismay at the sight, he knew he wasn’t going to give up…

But then the stingers came in hard, and fast; which made him caw out of anger because they hurt!

He hoped that the Sky Drop that the Braviary would bring the other Pokémon into would make the Beedrill stop attacking, however fact of the matter was that it was going to be folly if he tried.

Ouch, this was going to hurt…

The first sting was the most painful, but that didn't mean Queen Zing couldn't turn up the heat! Chemical heat, that was. The wasp and giant bird were locked in a grapple, Queen Zing fighting g-forces while Kyouya fought an increasing amount of venom flowing through his body.

That dose of venom would only rise as the insect intelligently used Kyouya's momentum against him, taking advantage of a sudden turn to slam her FELL STINGER into him. The Braviary would be able to dislodge the dangerous insect, but perhaps not before being bombarded from within by the dangerous biohazard that was her venom!

The Braviary knew he was in a ra against time, because that stinger had already unloaded its venom and… ugh, this was going to hurt the longer the match was drawn out!

Bracing himself, the Braviary then unloaded another close-range Aerial Ace at the mega-evolved Beedrill, hoping to end this match as soon as possible before he collapsed due to the poisons in his system!

Come on, come on, come on… he chanted mentally in the back of his head; everything was on tenterhooks right now with this match!

With a violent hurl, Kyouya was able to hurl Queen Zing into the ground, her back planting into the pavement and rendering her unable to fly. The judges had seen enough; waving their red flags at Shalin, they declared Alex the winner.

"I got one good hit in," Shalin exhaled. "That's all I can expect. She's one tough Beedrill, but there are... physical realities here. She's not beating one of your birds in battle." Once she had turned her match slip in, she was able to walk away when she thought of something. "Have you been to my Romping Grounds yet? Could make a day out of it!"

And just in time, too—for if the match went on any longer, the Braviary would come crashing down to the ground due to the worsening effect of poison over time!

“Still, that one good hit really hurt, look at Kyouya,” he remarked, quickly recalling the Pokémon back into his Pokéball.

“Poison of any kind is literally a race against time,” he hummed afterward while he was declared the winner of the current match.

“No, I haven’t been there yet in a hot minute,” he admitted.

“When’re you free?”
