Thomas and Ripper stepped into the arena. On the other side, they'd be greeted by a familiar face.

"Doug, good to see you again!", he'd greet his first apprentice. "Show me how strong you've gotten! Hold nothing back!", he'd call out to the young man. Following the hearty greeting, Thomas stepped back to allow the hulking Scizor to take to the field.

"Oi, teach! Ripper! How've ya been?!" Doug greeted the other man chipperly, raising a hand in the air and waving.

Their paths didn't cross nearly as often as he wished they did, so he was glad to see Thomas at the tourney! Specially if he was running about with Ripper!

"'ey Kama, go say hi!" He said, clapping his Scyther's back spiritedly.

She stumbled forward at that, eyes briefly widening. Still, she nodded Ripper's way— about as respectful as the usually fiery Scyther ever got.


TL;DR:
Hi Thomas! Hi Ripper!

"Hanging in there, and you?", he asked the younger man.

Ripper greeted the familiar Scyther with an enthusiastic nod. He still remembered the Scyther from the training they had done together. Just as his master wanted to see how far John had come along, Ripper wanted to see the same for the Scyther.

Ripper opened the battle by throwing himself towards the Scyther with a Bullet Punch, effectively dashing towards the 'younger' insect.

"Eh. Definitely not winning the tourney." He responded with a laugh and a shrug.

Probably just about what the other man needed to know how everything was going so far for them.

For her part, Kama, too, was happy to test herself against a mentor of sorts.

Scizors were not as fast as Scythers were pure mobility was concerned, but their punching speed was not at all slowed by their coat of steel. As the iron fist came, Kama scarcely managed to raise her scythes to block, her arms smacking her in the face as the force carried through, sending her hurtling back.

She flipped on a dime with superb agility however, her arms blurring as walls of cutting wind were sent hurtling towards Ripper.



TL;DR:
Kama used Vacuum Wave!

The Scizor had to hand it to the Scyther, her blocking of the pincers with her blades was impressive. Despite the fact that Scizor was a slower species, their punching speed was still devastatingly fast.

The Scizor was sent flying back by the Vaccum Wave. Recovering with a backflip, the Scizor charged back towards the Scyther, pincer raised up, before attempting to crash down on top of her with a crushing Brutal Swing.

Trying to brute force her way past the scizor was not the way to go, she knew that much.

Still, she didn't have a lot of options outside of the Vacuum wave, and the same trick wouldn't work if used repeatedly. Reluctantly, Kama leapt into the fray to meet Ripper into battle, ethereal blades dancing around her and strengthening her as they clashed.

The power behind his brutal swing was to be expected, yet it still took her off her feet, sending her skidding along the battlefield before she rammed her scythes onto the soil, stopping herself short of ringing out.

With a growl, she used those same scythes to slingshot herself at her mentor, her body hurtling towards the Scizor before suddenly attempting to leap over him in a somersault, her arm swinging at the back of his head firmly as she did.


TL;DR:
Kama used Acrobatics!

The Scizor grinned as he was sent flying back by the display of Acrobatics. The Scizor landed on his feet, skidding against the arena ground violently.

Thomas channeled Z-Power through Ripper, empowering the armored insect. In a rush, the Scizor sent a flurry of steely strikes towards the Scyther, a Corkscrew Crash.

Kama hunkered down and bit down her lip as a flurry of strikes rained upon her with earth shattering force, her chitin armor cracking everywhere, each strike making her knees buckle and whole frame tremble from the power behind them.

Yet, the fiery spirit never died down in her eyes, gaze narrowed in sharp focus as she suddenly attempted to dodge into one of the blows, her own arm coming up to try and strike mid-combo.


TL;DR:
Kama used Counter!

Despite the counter hit from the Scyther, the Scizor still stood, skidding back.

The Scizor lunged at the Scyther, pincer opened, with the intent to clamp down on her midsection with a brutal Bug Bite of his pincer.

Kama's eyes bulged wide as the pincers came clamping down around her with crushing force, her own scythes rapidly coming in like hooks to try and catch before her whole midsection was crushed.

Not that Ripper would do that on purpose —Hopefully— but survival reflexes and what not.

She struggled mightily against the monstrous grip strength of the Scizor... and that was when Doug intervened, raising his own Z-bracelet in the air.

And busting down his moves, suddenly beginning to breakdance.

Which meant one thing— a red haze surrounded Kama as her eyes glowed, before she released a mighty roar and spread her wings wide. Flapping them madly, she began to spun in place, generating a large storm around herself!


TL;DR:
Kama used her Z-move: Heaven Splitter!

As the Scizor was subjected to the Z-Move, the Scizor's grip on the Scyther loosened, as he fell to the ground. Before fading into unconsciousness, the Scizor let out a congratulatory cry to the Scyther.

Of course he wasn't going to do lasting damage to her. Despite his violent tendencies, he knew to hold back during such a venue.

Thomas recalled the Scizor, and attempted to give Doug a handshake. "Well done! You've come such a long way, Doug!", Thomas told the soldier warmly.

Kama released a gasp of breath as her Z-move ceased, collapsing onto her knees whilst panting. She thought she might've heard Ripper last hurrah's, but was so exhausted she wasn't sure if she had hallucinated it.

Doug jogged up to the two pokemon after the match was called, crouching besides Kama to lay a hand on her shoulder for healing, before shooting some healing scales Ripper's way as well.

Patting Kama's back, he whispered with a smile. "You've been doing amazing, love. Great job." He said, before returning her to her pokeball.

Turning to Thomas, he clapped his hand around the larger man's own, smiling brightly.

"Thanks, man! It means a lot coming from ya!" He said. He felt much older now after Galar, but perhaps a part of his younger self still remained— he felt warm inside to hear those words from a mentor. "It's been a while since we hung out, man. Let's go for a meal!"

He was about to say drink... but he didn't drink anymore.
