It was a bug vs bug showdown, and only the best bug was going to win. Scythe met pincer as the two clashed.
[break][break]
Onyx tilted his head. “Good plan,” he said, remarking on his opponent’s strategy. Unfortunately, Kama underestimated Lucan’s pure physicality, and his sheer, dumb, stupid stubbornness, as he weathered the vacuum wave and tried to grapple the Scyther with vital throw.

His opponent-- John-- is very excited about his Pinsir. More so than any rational person should be. Onyx has the image of tiny John in shorts and one of those net-covered bug-catcher hats.
[break][break]
“Right,” he says, with a curt nod, somewhat cowed in the face of such enthusiasm. “Lucan, x-scissor.”
[break][break]
His Pinsir howls and charges.

The two titans met in the center of the arena, four arms versus two plus some head teeth.
[break][break]
They were well matched. The Machamp’s strikes hit Lucan’s carapace and dented it, squishing out some olive-green blood. The Pinsir tried to leverage his smaller stature to his advantage and vital throw his opponent.

His Pinsir’s chitinous carapace gleamed nigh-gold; Lucan’s teeth were sharp and gnashing, his horns snapping and strong. Onyx wondered how long it would take before he got his shit bashed into the ground, which seemed to keep happening.
[break][break]
“I’m Jett, and this is Lucan,” he said, using the fake name he’d signed up under. He’d found your opponents seemed to like it more when you introduced yourself, even though he didn’t really care to.

“Sure.”
[break][break]
He was always fascinated by people who used unevolved Pokemon. They should be studied. He didn’t have the patience for it, himself.
[break][break]
The Pidove summoned up a Warhammer of Zillyhoo and bonked Lucan on the head, driving the Pinsir down into the ground like a nail into wood.
[break][break]
Onyx touched the Mega-stone in his pocket. Wings burst from his Pinsir’s back, and he flew skyward with an angry buzzing, c-curving at the top to dive down at the Pidove with superpower.

Altaria’s take down hits Lucan in his gut and the air is squeezed out of him with a painful wheeze.

Both Pokemon are well and truly damaged, but the Altaria falls moments before Lucan does.

The compressed air hits and breaks over Lucan’s carapace; some scratch hard lines into the chitin, but the strength of the shell manages to stop the slashes from hitting anything vital. Claws outstretched for the small bird, Lucan attempts to grapple it and slam it into the ground with storm throw.

Pieces of cottony down are flung up and away, catching the wind and drifting to the ground again. They lift off once more as the Altaria shoots straight up in the sky, Lucan clinging to her for dear life. His Mega-energy spits and fades, the wings dropping from his back as he sheds them; they flutter like maple seeds, spinning round and around.
[break] [break]
Wind whistling around him, he tries to clamber up the bird’s body to guillotine at her head or neck before they hit the ground, where he is dislodged-- and half-buried in a crater, smoke rising off his bruised body.

The Shaymin clings like a tick. Lucan squawks, perturbed by the hedgehog’s stubbornness, and does a fun dance where he flails his held leg and hops around on the other foot, trying to dislodge the thing, while the insect in question attempts to bite his ankles.
[break][break]
He ends up flopping forward on his front to try and thwack the Shaymin against the ground in a pilates-like move, trying to bash it against the ground with another superpower.

Onyx isn’t entirely sure what happens next. Lucan’s got the Froakie dead to rights, poised to deliver a disastrously hard hit, and somehow, he misses. The bug crashes into the ground and is hit with recoil, causing his trainer to inhale and exhale measuredly through his nose to keep his temper.
[break][break]
They still have a little bit more juice left in the Mega-Evolution, so Lucan picks himself up, dusts himself off, and tries to reverse people’s elbow the slippery frog with superpower.

The Smeargle hits the ground with a poof of tawny fur, signaling the end of the combat.
[break][break]
Lucan reaches up to bat at his displaced pincer. It breaks free and hits the ground, hard chitin unfeeling. It will grow back, even without the rapidly increased healing from a Pokemon Center.
[break][break]
Onyx recalls his Pokemon.

“Yeah… it was,” he said, surprised at how much he meant it, though he kept the brief wave of emotion out of his voice through well-honed practice. “Good luck with the rest of your matches.”

Using the agility given to him by his mega-evolution, Lucan ducked and wove between the plumes of dragonfire. He pile-drove the Altaria down, dirtying her beautiful wings, which he then tried to slice to shreds with x-scissor.

Onyx let one shoulder drop, face wry and apathetic. He wasn’t very impressed with his previous performance, either, but he also had the bonus of setting his own bar very low.
[break][break]
“Yeah,” he said, voice just off the verge of pained, “I’m that guy.”
[break][break]
He pulled his hands from his pockets and flared them to show they were empty.
[break][break]
“No surprises here.”
[break][break]
He might have to dip out and conjure… some semblance of a disguise, after this, because this was ridiculous.
[break][break]
Lucan roared, summoning a flashing Sword’s Dance, before sprinting forward towards the little pigeon with Superpower.
