Due to the efforts of one Althus Rex he had been teleported away, though not to the others that had might have had the mishap of meeting him. No instead he found his new prey in front of him in the form of a man. Seemingly appearing out of thin air with his Lucario at his side. There was only one question he could ask.

"Are you strong....?" His voice would echo before his Lucario would attempt to pounce on this man in front of them with Metal Claws extended. If this man was worthy of battle, then he would survive.

"Or are you a coward....?" It wasn't an insult, to him it was just another question.

A Scizor appeared. The man seemed to think that he had come for others.

That was not Gaius's concern.

"That is the right response." Came the words before his Lucario used Extreme Speed to launched itself towards the Scizor.

"The weak don't interest me. Only those who can fuel my soul." He says to his new opponent, and smiles widely at the man.

TLDR
Lucario uses Extreme Speed on Scizor!
Gaius is happy!

A smile appeared on Gaius's lips, but he didn't answer, and instead he watched his Hound take the Double Hit, but that didn't matter as it didn't try to defend from it.

Instead it's paws were clasped together, and a ball of purple aura energy was formed, and it aimed the ball right at the Scizors midsection. Attempting to unleash the Aura Sphere at point blank range.

"Fights with no heart bore me. So I seek the strong. Only when two blades clash with all they have, can one become stronger." With those words he rushed at Thomas Benoit, aiming a punch at the mans stomach!

"So break me, chip me, wear me down! Or be broken! Only then can we be reforged into something more!" He laughed loudly letting the sound echo.

TLDR
Lucario takes the Double Hit in order to charge up an Aura Sphere an unleash it at point blank range!
Gaius rushes Thomas to throw hands!

"One should always be prepared for enemies." He stated to the other, and the moment he realized he was about to be thrown. He shank down, centered his core of gravity, and would be much heavier to throw.

Tying his opponent up at this close a range he would attempt to headbutt him.

The Scizor would come charging towards his Lucario with a Bullet Punch, but unknown to the bug his Lucario would Copycat the move, and charge right back at it with it's own Bullet Punch matching the metal coated bug blow for blow.

This was how a battle should be. Gaius didn't care about any of the objectives, he didn't care about anyone else. This was the one who rose to meet him head on, and so their battle would echo through the ship.

The clash was powerful against both pokemon, his Hound forming a staff of energy to combat the barrage of attacks, but it wasn't enough, and he was steadily pushed back.

Gaius for his part was struck harshly by the kick, and almost on queue the Scizors final attack would find the gap in his Hounds defenses, and send the Lucario flying into it's trainer.

Being struck suddenly by the full force of his pokemon sent him careening through a door, and sprawled out. Gaius was unconcious from the sheer impact, and the surprise of being caught off guard.

His Hound did not fare much better, and for the next little bit they were both down for the count.
