On this beach would he find anyone worthy?

No he probably wouldn't, but it would still be a good time to try, and train. So he would use as that.

On the back of his 'borrowed' Mantine mount he would attempt to do this so called Primarina Twist. If he failed it would resort in him just getting wetter than he already was. A small price to pay.

Pain.

Pain was proof that you were alive.

Pain was proof that you could still fight.

Pain meant that you had not yet achieved victory.

So he embraced the kick, the pain that thrummed through his leg, and he grinned wide enough to reveal teeth. He reared back with his left fist, and sent another hook to his opponent. The anger his opponent felt only incensing him further.

"Yes, don't hold back!" The words came out excitedly as he continued to wail on his enemy. They had to be holding back their strength, they had more to burn, and he wanted to see it all!

The Aqua Cutter would find purchase in the Lucario, but much like it's master it would not be deterred, and so keeping it's staff ready it rushed forward again to deliver a flurry of blows.

Champion of the region? A poodle with a crown then.

"Hmmmm...." The sound was bored coming from his lips. Metal was deflected by water, an then a staff of energy appeared in the hands of his hound, and Lucario began to Bone Rush the bladed knight in front of him.

"I have no issue." He answered the question perhaps too honestly as he watched the battle before him, but his blood was thrumming, and he hated standing on the sidelines. So he rushed at the other man while their pokemon battled, and swung a right hook to his face. "Show me your strength."

Why was he here? The weak sought the protection of the strong, and this was no longer a place for saving. It was a hunting ground. A Gallade was a worthy opponent, but only if it's wielder was competent.

So he removed himself from the shadows, skulking towards the server room that they had just cut open, with his Lucario by his side.

"Are you strong?" Came the three words, and with no further introduction, no further speech his Lucario lunged towards the pair Metal Claws extended to rend the flesh, and sinew from his prey.
