Once more, into the breach. These battles were all quick and sometimes anticlimactic. But she had to admit, they got a lot of them done this way. That was probably the point of all this.

Still though, she was not exactly satisfied with that yet, hoping that more fights would just alleviate that right away. Hence, she was back here, alongside her Lucario, waiting for the next opponent to appear. Whoever that was. They would be greeted the same way, anyway: “Good day. I am Megan and I guess we are going to have this particular match now.”

This was the consequence of registering extremely late for the tournament—he would be up against veterans who already had several wins under their belt, or others who, just like him, had waffled until the very last second to join the shenanigans happening.

He also had another reason why he was here—although the skies were still clear for now, fact of the matter was he was waiting for more weather updates about unusual thunderstorms around the general area…

For now, he would bide his time.

“Hello, Miss Megan. We meet again,” he said from his side of the arena; while his Braviary was plucking away at some feathers from under his wing.

Meet again? Miss Megan? Uh….oh right….something with Alex, right? Yeah, something like that. Honestly, her memory was not the best when it came to people, especially on days when she rapidly fired fights against a multitude of people. Lucario had barely been healed from that last battle and was being sent out again already.
[break][break]
But that was fine. Probably. “Hello there Mister…Alex, right? It’s been a while.” That would probably be enough of an explanation, just in case she was getting that name wrong. Not that anyone would fault her. Maybe. Probably. “Anyway, it seems like this quick battle will be ours, so let’s get right to it and give our collective best.” Or whatever counted as such for the odd rules of this tournament.

“You forgot that you came to my Gym and challenged me for a badge… how cruel,” he continued; but of course he’s only joking before the bell rings and the match has begun.

(The Hall of Fame that the staffers kept updated was indeed proof of who came by when to ask for a battle).

Right then and there the Braviary would size up their opponent—however instead of attacking, this time he would Bulk himself Up to get ready for whatever was going to come screaming out of the gate!

“To be fair, I do forget a lot of things,” she replied with a bit of a shrug. “But I do remember the battle, but we barely did more than exchange names, so those get lost.” A brief nod to herself indicated that she saw the matter settled. Not too many people even remembered the names of their challengers. And she’d been in a bit of a frenzy to get badges back then, so the moment she’d finished that fight, she had already reached for the next.
[break][break]
Lucario, in the meantime, just watched that Braviary bulk up – and decided that it might as well take the opportunity to boost itself up with sword dance. Not like it was too easy to get to a flying foe anyway. Best to have them come to it.

Okay, so that little show of getting ready wasn’t going to cow the Lucario in the slightest…

Time to bring the fight to them, as they would say—

“Kyouya, I know you can do this, don’t get lost in the clouds again!”

(Because the last few times that happened, he’d been cleanly swept which resulted in them losing!)

Squawking, the blue-plumed avian Pokémon then prepped himself before getting ready to fly low—like almost to the ground low—before suddenly coming up for a surprise Aerial Ace attack on the Lucario!

He was at the very least, hoping to catch the other dual-type off-guard.

Well, they had won the intimidation battle. That probably netted them something much akin to an advantage in attack power, if nothing else. But despite being the weaker poser, the Braviary tried its best to come for their throat there.
[break][break]
Naturally, Lucario watched the other approach. After bulking up like that, it was difficult for one to hide their intention, after all. It would attack in some fashion. The only real question was as to how. And even that was limited by the angles of attack it could take.
[break][break]
Lucario did not have to move. It knew that, when the other rushed in his general direction. And Megan knew it too. They both waited for the bird to come close, ready to welcome it with a Close Combat.

As the two crossed claws (or paws and feathers), the Braviary let out a squawk of surprise as the Close Combat attack connected; however he knew that this wasn’t over yet! It wasn’t!

The blue-plumed avian attempted to grab the Lucario and drag them into the air with a surprise Sky Drop attack; hopefully they would be able to close the distance with this attack!

“Come on, Kyouya!” he cheered his Braviary on from his side of the field.

“You can do this!”

Well, that was an inconclusive exchange. The Close Combat hit, but Lucario would be picked up, taken for a ride. The system flagged that as a loss for them, but Megan did not really care, having gotten into this fight for once.

And this was a prime opportunity to some fun to be had. Namely, since the Braviary insisted on being so close, she decided to activate her mega accessory, with Lucario’s spiky armor likely damaging the other in the process already. If that succeeded and it was let go, it would use that opportunity to throw an Aura Sphere right up at the bird as it was falling, using the momentum of that attack alone to adjust its fall and trying to land upright.

Now that they were in the air—whoa, holy cow was that even possible?

The Braviary let out a surprised squawking noise the moment—the absolute insane moment the Lucario had Mega-evolved while they were on the way back—

“Careful!” he would yell; but he knew it would take an extremely insane miracle for him to dodge an Aura Sphere because that particular attack was like a heat-seeking missile once it was deployed!

“I already told you to keep your head on straight!” he hollered from his side of the field as the attack went careening towards the shiny avian…

Well, things had evidently not concluded yet. Which just meant that Lucario fell to the ground, managing a proper three-point landing as it did, kicking up dust all over the place. Once that was done, it swiftly looked upwards, trying to discern whether or not the aura sphere had landed by now, or whether it needed to fling another at the flying opponent.
[break][break]
It readied one regardless, just in case, while both it and its trainer kept their eyes skywards, to see how the bird was handling the first one. Hopefully not too well, since the mega evolution would not hold forever. This was probably going to decide the match one way or another.

So apparently the Lucario used the same attack again; however the one that hit the Braviary earlier allowed him to finally wake up and stop smelling the roses—they had a match to win.

This was going to be a nailbiter indeed; as the Braviary flew low to the ground, so dangerously low that even the commentators had mistaken the attack to be Brave Bird when in reality it was just the blue-plumed avianid setting up a surprise Aerial Ace on the Lucario once he was close enough!

(Well, who knew that Kyouya was going to be this flashy?!)

Come on, come on, come on, come on… he thought to himself, mentally crossing his fingers.
