He wasn’t going to try and keep track of how many matches he’d been through at this point.

It was all par for the course. As long as he was able to get as much experience for his Absol as he possibly, plausibly can, then that was already a win for him!

The previous match had just ended and he was hustled into the next arena, his Dark-type companion pacing around much like a cat would while he waited for his next opponent.

Hopefully they don’t bring that flash-bang of a surprise, either… he thought because the last few battles had that one-hit surprise move where…

Shit, was the pose REALLY necessary for Z-moves?!

While Jack wasn’t too familiar with Shadow Sneak—his Absol was, realizing that the other Pokémon had sunk down into the—uh-oh!

“Hold your ground!” he called from his side of the arena—before belatedly realizing that the next move that was about to clobber her was going to hurt a lot if she was not to counter it at the exact moment it manifested—

“PARRY!” he couldn’t help himself but yell, raising his fist up in the air as the Absol then turned on a dime; hearing the swishing noise of the blades before attempting to catch the other Pokémon by surprise with a Night Slash attack!

This match was getting intense, if he could say so himself!

Who was that person he’d met that had told him to let his Pokémon do their own thing while they were in battle—

Oh, that’s right, it was someone from back in Alola! It was… well, it was working surprisingly well for Cordy so far—if he’d entered this competition with his lunkhead of an Incineroar, Bas, who knew how bad his win streak would be.

(For he knew this particular Pokémon liked to over-exaggerate shit… yeah…)

Seeing the incoming Rock-type attack, the Dark-type got an idea; before switching tactics and going for the surprise Psycho Cut swipe!

“Let’s go, let’s go! You got this, make everyone proud!” he continued to cheer his Absol on; never mind if he looked absolutely fucking cheesy in the process while it went down.

And it was—

The loud dinging of the bell announced the winner—

“Wha?” he blinked in utter confusion, surely there was a mistake with the—but no—had the Scyther flown too close to the sun and got burned in the process—

“Good game, man!” he hollered over the people screaming nearby because damn that noise ticket was going to be very loud had this been for any other occasion asides from the tournament.

“Your Scyther did great! My Absol learned a lot from them!” he added before he’d gotten his Absol swept down and off the arena, and cleared out for the next match.

Why did this next battle feel like a—

“Are you kidding me?!” he exclaimed softly, hissing bleeding comments as he realized there was another similar burst of light to the one he’d encountered with , these flashy moves that would send whatever hit them right out of the field and into next week!

“Cordy! Brace!” he yelled as he quickly raised his hands to his eyes; the literal flash-bang of light was too much for his poor eyeballs to take as the attack exploded all around them—for a few moments even his Absol was blinded; before a last-second decision to attempt to Detect through the move would…

Would it fly…?

It was hard to gauge from this distance if this was going to be a win or a loss, the way both their Pokémon were fighting hard…

Come on, Cordy… I know this isn’t your last! he thought, clenching his fists as the Absol growled; swinging her head around and—that move again?

She had to keep calm under duress, don’t panic don’t panic don’t panic—

Before charging forward with a sudden Psycho Cut attack coming from her glowing horn!

The question was, would it hit…?

The next attack was too close to tell, however from the way his Absol recoiled—needless to say that was a direct hit, and boy did it sting!

“Be strong, girl!” he called out from his side of the field, watching as the Dark-type spun around on her heels and attempted to catch the other Pokémon off-guard with a sudden Sucker Punch, hoping for the best because holy cow that hurt!

“Never give up, Cordy! Let’s go!” he continued to cheer his companion on as the match continued…

And all too soon, it was time for the match to begin!

The courtside bell rang a little too loudly on his side (oops, was he closer to the commentator’s box or something) and so therefore he was stunned for a few moments, before sticking a finger in his ear and waving her way—

His Absol had been sent on the defensive!

There was no time to use their preferred start-up set up move; so this was going to go a little crazier than expected.

“Go, Cordy! You’ve got this!” he began cheering his Absol on, who was snarling on the hackles as she bounded forward with a Psycho Cut attack coming from her horn!

(Of course, he was belatedly aware of type match-ups, and would realize something much later.)

And then just like that, another Electric-type attack came screaming out of nowhere. Holy hellballs on a stick what was up with him seemingly attracting…

What was that place again, the Thunder Plains? Yikes.

(Did he have to dodge 200 times to prove himself?! Hopefully not!)

He noticed how calculated her moves had become; it was possible that she owned an Absol as well. Hm. Alright, then.

“Let’s go, Cordy!” he cheered from his side of the field as she dashed forward before making her starting move out; a surprise Night Slash attack!

The crackling of electricity would give away (obviously) what typing this… this feline quadruped was…

And for some strange, inexplicable reason…

There were sparkles in Jack’s eyes. Oh, he wanted one of those… big kitties!

(Insert screaming cat face here. But, not in the crying way, but in the “I WANT IT” way.)

“Cordy! Don’t be enchanted by what they’re doing!” he yelped as she blinked and saw the incoming attack; before attempting to bat it back with a surprise Night Slash coming from her horn.

What he thought was going to be the last round was… was actually not going to be the very last; all things considered.

“Come on, girl! This is where we can turn the situation around!” he cheered from his side of the field as the Absol skidded; gauging the incoming attack before this time lashing out with a surprise Sucker Punch aimed to either trip the Scyther off-guard, or it would definitely be her last move this round!

Come on, Cordy. Come on, come on, come on…!

“What the—”

He blinked, and the sudden—whoa, holy shit what was going on?!—environs went full lumens-burst like the world’s strongest flashlight decided to click on in the span of a few seconds and Cordy the Absol was sent flying, staggering almost outside the ring boundaries, but—

What was that?! he screamed in the back of his mind, worry all over his face as he decided—now was definitely the time to go bananas and try his own full-power attack.

Once he’d chucked the orb of light at his holding-on-by-a-thread Absol, the funniest bunch of balloons appeared overhead, before she came in barreling with one last Night Slash in a hope to turn the tables…!

The first strike—was not to be theirs, judging from how she’d recoiled this time around, simply because… ooh, that was going to hurt!

“This is why we don’t rush!” he exclaimed in the Absol’s direction.

“Clear your mind and let the rest come naturally. Like water against rock!”

Never mind if she’d been jarred somewhat, it was go-time—this time with a Psycho Cut attack to gauge the distance!

Today’s challenger was—oh, hello there.

“We meet again,” he continued with a grin as his Absol stood up and stretched out very much like a cat.

“I trust no more electronic-looking Delibird-like… things have been harassing you lately?” he added with a knowing little smirk.

All too soon the bell sounded, and it was go time!

Slow and steady wins the race, at least for the Absol as she’d gone and used Swords Dance again; the better to gauge her opponent’s reaction.

The Scyther came screaming in, swinging their arm-scythes, however the Absol was fast enough to block the swing in time with her own head-horn, causing them to spring apart like a coil.

“Come on, Cordy! Let’s go!” he cheered from his side of the field, before the black-and-white Pokémon then charged forward; horn glowing with the attempt at a Night Slash incoming to either nick or catch the Scyther by surprise!
