Had he ever been helped?

Or had he just been born like this?

Human, or monster?

It didn't matter such things were beyond the scope of his truest desires. He only cared about becoming stronger, to clash with those that he felt were worthy.

She answered in similar notion to another man, and his smile widened in response to her.

"You understand. Good." There was no need for further words before his Arcanine rushed at hers attempting to Take it Down!

If she understood his existence then they could skip right to the fun part of this meeting.

Gaius's Arcanine uses Take Down on Mega's Arcanine!

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!

Flames licked at metallic fur, but it didn't matter, for the Hound pain wasn't knew.

Fire was only an inconvenience when the scent of a hunt was in it's nostrils, and it would not stop hunting this hare.

A staff made of energy appeared in the hands of the Hound as it attempted to Bone Rush the Hare.

The woman didn't seem physically strong enough to fight him herself, which made him disappointed. There was no fun in only watching a fight when he could go fight with them as well.

But what use was an opponent that couldn't properly fight.

She said she was strong, but to him that meant more than just pokemon colliding. No one knew true strength in this land. Not like he did.

So he would settle for being bored.

Lucario uses Bone Rush on Calyrex!

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.

Thomas Benoit

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

His Hound, and the Abomination seemed equal, but how long would that last.

An Extreme Speed would force his Hound forward as fast as it's body could take it as it attempted to drive an elbow into the creatures face.

The knives appearing, perhaps might have caused others to back off, but all it caused Gaius to do was smile wider.

"Yes, this is how it should be. For what good is a victory without a life on the line!" So he stayed close unafraid of the knives as the other threw punch, and slash at him alike. A shallow cut on his cheek, lacerations on his arms, but he returned each attack with one of his own.

Another strike to the mans jaw, a body blow, over, and over like two boxers locked in a cage that wouldn't open until enough blood was spilled.

"YES! MORE! GIVE ME MORE!" He laughed with a maniacal smile on his lips, each drop of his blood that was shed, was just more gasoline added to the inferno that was his spirit.

After their initial clash Lucario uses Extreme Speed in an attempt to elbow Dracovish in the face!
Gaius is more excited when the knives are brought out, and fights even harder!

He wasn't done hunting.

Loss, or victory it didn't matter to him.

All he cared about was his next encounter, his next fight.

His Hound needed rest, and so for the moment he was aimlessly wandering with no pokemon about. Just another ghost aboard this god forsaken ship.

That was until he saw her. She did not look like much compared to the others that he had faced off against. However he knew that looks wouldn't matter.

"Why bother saving those that can't save themselves?" Came the genuine question, at his side an Arcanine appeared. Another Hound that was his to command as he awaited an answer.

Operation 1!
Gaius summons his Arcanine

For someone like him.

This place was a goldmine of opponents.

Like a Pyroar among a pack of Deerling he was able to eat his fill.

So he continued to stalk the halls of this ship. A spectre of violence, and battle, until he found a new morsel to sink his fangs into.

With his Lucario at his side he approached the red head woman, and the strange rabbit at her side.

A single question on his lips, the same question he had asked countless others before them, and that he would continue to ask long after this encounter.

"Are you strong?" But he didn't wait for an answer, and his faithful Hound rushed the Rabbit with it's claws extended, and attempted to rend into the flesh of the creature.

Gaius asks a question.
Lucario attempts to hit Calyrex with a Metal Claw!

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.

Thomas Benoit

Failure after failure.

If such a thing were enough to dissuade him he would have been dead long ago. Instead he gets back on his rental, and once more he attempts this elusive Primarina Twist, he would get this move even if it killed him. Death was not a fear for him anymore.

More treasures unearthed, and the battle continued to rage on, the Stakataka's are blasted backwards carving a scar into the once beautiful beach, but it didn't matter to him. His ever faithful hound unearthed a new treasure from the destruction, and brought it to him. The question was with it's foe seemingly defeated, would the Wooper stop, or would it's rampage continue. Though something did catch his eye. Near the head of the mech, an entrance had appeared.

Perhaps he could pilot this thing better, and so with no further recourse or incentive needed....He stepped into the creature leaving his Hound behind to continue to gather the spoils of war.

"Yes...."

That was the only word that Gaius cared about hearing, the rest didn't matter as it was swallowed up by the sandstorm. His faithful Hound managed to create an opening on the object of his obsession at this moment, but that was stolen by an accursed woman that he didn't recognize, and another man that was on the other side of the Ice Titan that he recognized.

The man (Kouji Matsubara ) and the woman (Elisabeth Fiorelli ) were both interlopers in his duel with this the pink sparkling man, and he frowned deeply. He would deal with them then. His Hound sensed the change in his masters aura, and immediately went to his side to take on their new opponent together. A Dracovish was to be his enemy, and he extended twin claws of Metal before darting toward the fossil abomination.

Gaius on the other hand rushed across the battlefield through the legs of the Ice Titan to Kouji Matsubara , and with no warning, no wind up he aimed a vicious right hook towards the mans face.

"Interloper....You interrupted my fight with the other man....I hope you are at least as strong as he is." Came the words before more fists are thrown towards the man. There was no need for further conversation he had made his desire clear. Once he was done with this person he would go see to the woman.

Gaius doesn't like that his fight with John Sullivan was interrupted.
Gaius, and his Lucario swap targets to Kouji Matsubara , and move into that square.
Gaius yaps to Kouji.
Lucario uses Metal Claw on Dracovish!

It was not nearly as fun watching a battle take place as it was to be in the thick of it. The beach was being destroyed, but that was a hidden boon as it allowed him to find more treasure with each clash of the titans.

The battle raged on between the two and he was the one the bear witness to its glory. While he never had much of an opinion on Wooper before, that was changing slowly.
