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.

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.

TLDR
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.

He followed the Ice Titan that had prevented him from finishing off that Rhyperior. Weaving across the battlefield to find that foe that he found worthy of his time only to be stopped when he saw that it was occupied with other quarry. His eyes narrowed, who was this creature to ignore him after preventing him, and his Hound from taking their pound of flesh.

There was a man in a hat that seemed to be commanding the creature, but this battle was chaotic, constantly in flux, and before Gaius could have his loyal Hound attack another entered the fray. Another man in a hat that seemed to control some strange pink mist. He doused the Rock Titan in it, and he wondered if the Ice Titan's master was fighting a battle on two fronts.

He wasn't a poor sport, and so he turned his attention to the man that controlled the pink sparkles.

"Hey you. Do you control that thing?" He asked the question pointedly to howard slayte .

"Are you strong?" Came the second question, but he didn't wait for him to answer before his Lucario blitzed John Sullivan with an Extreme Speed.

As far as he was concerned they had all interrupted his fun, but he couldn't fight that titan....Yet.

So he would settle for the other interloper.

"If you win against that other Titan will you be stronger?" A third question, but he didn't spare the archeologist a glance.

TLDR
Gaius 3rd parties John Sullivan as he heals Regirock!
Lucario attacks John Sullivan with Extreme Speed because he can't fight either of the Titans right now, and so this is the next best target.
Gaius asks howard slayte questions.
Located at K-2!

The clash of the titans resounded before him as the mechanical marvel of the Stakattaka mecha as it fought harshly against the Kaiju Wooper. Their clash shook the foundations of the beach itself, large gusts of wind blowing away umbrellas, and small children.

It also uncovered a few more hidden treasures for him, but he would leave that to his pokemon to gather. No he wanted to see how this fight would turn out. He had dibs on the winner.

Another failure, but each step of failure was another plank on the bridge to victory. And victory he would have.

Another Primarina Twist was attempted, and he would not stop until he succeeded.

The ground shook, and it interrupted the conclusion of their fight, but unlike his fight with Althus Rex, he didn't care that it ended this time.

No the next level appeared, and he was going to chase it. So chase it would after the ground stopped shaking and both he and his hound could stand again.

When they were able he set off to fight the next strongest creature he had seen.

There was time before the boulder hit, and in that brief moment the Hound vanished. With Extreme Speed it would close the gap quickly, and in the same breath attemp to drive it's claw into the creatures jaw.

This was a fight. This is how it should be, pure unapologetic violence.

Gaius could hear the sounds of the battle behind him fade and his agitation grew. Did he miss it? Was he to late? Those thoughts increased his ire.
