VS ANDREA VANEAU #1


AURUM BADGE, FT.


Tuesday, 7:32 p.m., Mossdeep City's Community Stadium.

It was a very unremarkable tuesday night in Mossdeep. The Shoal Cave was cold, the space center was running calculations for their latest tests, and the Mossdeep City's Gym challengers were getting packed and sent home.

"." The gym leader's words rang through the air as he finished speaking with the last challenger, his green eyes snapping towards his next challenger. "Come."

Andrea Vaneau. A peculiar young woman who's name could often be found in the League reports. One of Hoenn's many 'heroes' that could be trusted to jump head first into whatever mess befell the region.

Probably not someone that needed to be treated gently.

And in any case, it took some balls to challenge a gym leader at their own specialty. He appreciated that.

With a flick of the wrist, his pokeball flew, releasing his Duraludon onto the scene, the dragon rearing back before roaring at her opponent.

"You may begin."

A man of few words this Gwyar Wledig was. Before the young PokéManiac even had a chance to ask him how his name was spelled, the battle was initiated.

That Duraludon was a wall to be overcome. Andrea had brought a wall of her own. "Barron, I choose you!" Her mighty Aggron burst out of its ball, its natural suit of armor glinting under the arena's blinding spotlights.

"Let's start off with a Rock Polish!" At the costumed trainer's order, her Aggron grinded its claws against its armored body, scrubbing off any imperfections, until it was glistening clean.

"Cover your ears, everyone." Gwyar instructed to the public, hands moving to his ears.

And to Barron's polishing, Durindana said—

SCKKRRRRREREEEEE—!!!



An unholy sound, worse than any nails on any blackboard, thundered across the arena as the Duraludon's roar fell into a shrill, ultrasonic frequency, weakening the structural integrity of the opponent's newly polished steel.




TL;DR:
-Durindana used Metal Sound.

Andrea immediately covered her ears. She knew how sound moves worked, she did not need to be told twice. "When he stops yelling, give him a Head Smash!"

Barron staggered backwards from the Duraludon's loud screeching, but retained his footing. Moving much faster than a Steel/Rock type had any right to, he attempted to ram the opponent with his Rock Head.

The Gym Leader remained silent. Durindana herself, remained stationary despite the charging behemoth, either unwilling or unable to get out of its path.

The earth cracked and trembled beneath the steely dragon her opponent rammed into her full force, her feet digging into dirt as she was pushed back— even as her arms came to hold onto her opponent, keeping herself close as the blow rattled through her.

A rock type move shouldn't have been effective, but what did typing matter before raw force?

As the steel plates of the dragon continued to rattle loudly however, it soon became clear that there was more than just the aftermaths of a heavy blow.

The rattling became louder, faster, and shrill, like pipe bomb nearing its—

SHA-BAM!!!





TL;DR:
-Durindana took damage.
-Durindana used Metal Burst.

The aluminum dragon bursted, and in doing so, dished out any damage it had just taken back at Andrea's Aggron.

The flamboyant cosplayer was visibly alarmed. "Uh oh..." That move got more dangerous the longer a match went on. They needed to finish this quickly. In other words, they needed to hit the opponent super effectively.

"Give 'em an Earthquake!" She exclaimed, and soon, the entire arena shook from Barron's mighty stomps.

The earthquake came, making the arena shudder as earth splintered and upheaved, the vibrations traveling through Durindana's frame as dirt and force reverberated within her.

The Duraludon swayed from side to side whilst leaned against the Aggron, her eyes tired.

Andrea might well end things quickly after all!

But then again, that would be boring.

So Gwyar raised his arm instead, smiling. And instead, the Duraludon began to glow— brightly.

"Durindana— Mega evolve."

A dark egg burst outwards and pushed away the Aggron, encasing the steel dragon behind its protective shell as the symbol of Mega evolution flashed... and then it began to grow, and grow, and grow, before shattering.

It was not quite on the level of a dynamax, much less gigantamax pokemon, but it certainly stood more massive than before, its dazzling silhouette leaving little doubt as to where from had humanity drawn inspiration for its skyscrapers.

A booming roar thundered across the stadium as the people stood up from their sits and roared excitedly, chanting a very... familiar hum to Gwyar.

Gwyar raised his hand in the sky once more, posing dramatically for the crowd as he gave his first direct command.

G-max


Depletion



Durindana's body glowed a bright violet before unleashing forth a massive draconic shockwave towards the Aggron.

Powerful yes, but strictly speaking ineffective against the behemoth's steel hide. But... its ability to wield Earthquake again would be severely impaired.




TL;DR:
-Durindana took super effective damage.
-Gwyar Mega Evolved Duraludon.
-Durindana used G-max: Depletion. Deals Dragon-type damage and reduces the PP of the last move used.

"M-Mega Evolution?!" Durindana was a wall before, but now she was the entire house! Trying to protect against a G-Max move would be a fool's errand, but there was a way to mitigate the damage done by it.

"We'll fight fire with fire! Barron, Mega Evolve too!" The young cosplayer exclaimed, removing one of her dragon paws to reveal a sparkling Mega Ring adorning her ring finger.

Encased in a cocoon of its own, her Aggron re-emerged as a pure Steel-type. With its newly upgraded, nigh impenetrable armor, it was able to tank the hit, but its ability to cause literal earthquakes was nonetheless hampered.

"Go for Iron Head! Make her flinch!" Andrea ordered. Despite all that bulk, Barron still moved fast thanks to the earlier polishing, charging headfirst into the larger target that was the Mega Duraludon.

The arena quaked as steel crashed against steel, earth splintering and flying high as power dispersed through the soil.

Durindana reeled back briefly as the shocks traversed along the length of her neck, her body rattling violently as her foot stomped and splintered the earth whilst seeking balance.




TL;DR:
-Durindana took damage. Durindana flinched!

Two Mega Evolved behemoths clashed. Steel versus Steel. While Barron's immense weight kept him firmly rooted to the ground, his lighter opponent was knocked slightly off balance.

For a brief amount of time, the enemy was vulnerable. Capitalizing on an opportunity when it presented itself was the mark of a good trainer. "It's now or never! Flatten her with a Heavy Slam!" The young PokéManiac ordered.

The gargantuan rhinoceros jumped high into the air, descending upon the flinched Durindana with his big, Heavy Metal bottom. If there was anything worse than getting attacked by someone's butt, it was being turned into a two-dimensional object by it.

Durindana was relatively light, as far as steel types went—

But she remained nonetheless fairly tough. The opponent crashed into her from above and though her body sank into the soil, it did not bend or break.

Nor did it stop wrattling as it sustained the steel titan's weight above her head, the 'glass' running along her skyscrapper-esque form glimmering as the flood lights from above refracted off its surface—

No wait, that was just her whole body shining as it quaked.

KA-BOOOM!!!





TL;DR:
-Durindana took damage!
-Durindana used Metal Burst!

Andrea's mouth went agape at Durindana's display of strength, but wasn't too surprised by it. According to a book on DRAGONOLOGY she'd recently read, Duraludon may have been very light and easy to rust, but their alloy bodies could release vast amounts of power.

Noticing the skyscraper-esque dragon's body light up, the dragon lover gasped. "She's gonna burst again! Barron, Protect!"

Her Aggron put up a barrier in the nick of time, but was still knocked backwards by the sheer force of the explosion. The armored rhinoceros landed back on the ground with an earthshaking thud, his form reverting to normal as the Mega Evolution juices ran out.
