Seeing Marcus and Charleon ready to fight, Axel was confused. He knew what was going on, Charleon had challenged Marcus, but he didn't want them to fight. But Charleon's behavior was already out of hand, so he knew that it should be done. So, he steeled his resolve and let it happen. But he could already guess the result of the fight.
And his guess was right.

"I will be the referee of this battle.", said Roman. Both of the Pokemons got into their position. They both had arrogant faces like the battle was in their bags. Axel would not be instructing them in battle.
"Let the battle, Begin!!" shouted Roman.

Pokemon POV
Charleon imdiately used 'Dragon dance' to power up itself. anwhile, Marcus started running towards a few trees. The dragon dance was completed 1 ti and it didn't use again. Charleon started chasing Marcus.
"What happened boss? Already scared? You know, you could just give up the fight."
It laughed out loud like it was finally going to have its revenge. It then started using 'Flathrower' over Marcus. None of the moves connected as Marcus was using a combination of 'Agility' and 'Shadow sneak'.
There were now over 5 trees making a 'V' line pattern and Charleon was in the middle of it. By this ti, Marcus had already disappeared into the shadows.
"Co here and fight. You always called a child. Now, who is hiding like one?" roared Charleon and started using 'Flathrower' all over the place.
It was midday, and the flas added heat to the field. Marcus ca from behind and used 'Hypnosis' on Charleon. But it didn't seem to have any effect on it. Due to evolution, its body was energized, so 'Hypnosis' only seed to irritate Charleon. But Marcus didn't stop. It would co out from one place using' hypnosis' and disappear. And then it would co out of another place.
The trees may be on 'V' line pattern, but due to midday, the place was covered with shadows. Marcus had purposely run to this place to get the advantage. Charleon didn't know about this or maybe it simply didn't care.
It was the most powerful Pokemon now, or so it had thought. But it was unable to even land a single hit. This was making it frustrating.
Marcus was way faster than Charleon. Marcus had trained in agility and speed-type training field much more than others. None of them seed to damage one another.
Charleon used 'Dragon rush' 3 tis and due to the speed of the move with 'Dragon dance', Marcus was hit one ti. But anyone could have guessed that it did zero damage. Because Marcus was immune to it. This chase and run went on for 3 minutes.
"I always told you, child, never to underestimate an opponent. You need to listen more.", said Marcus.
"Then why are you hiding boss? Fight face to face.", roared Charleon.
By this ti, Charleon was huffing and puffing. It had already used 'Dragon rush' 3 tis and the move consud a lot of stamina. It may have evolved and improved but the move still made it tired.
"Ok then, let's fight head-on.", shouted Marcus showing a fearless expression. Charleon ca running. Its right-hand claw was glowing and getting bigger now.
This was 'Dragon claw' that it had learned before. But it fell to the ground. The fall was not natural and Charleon was trying its best to get up. It was succeeding slowly.
This move was 'Gravity' that Marcus had learned before. Imdiately after that, a peculiar sound wave ca towards Charleon and almost destroyed its eardrum.
It was 'bug buzz', Charleon had used its hands to cover its ears, but it hurt itself as the 'dragon claw' was still active. Marcus didn't miss this chance and continued using 'Bug buzz'. The move affected it more. Marcus would alternate between 'Shadow sneak' combined with 'tackle' and 'bug buzz'.
After so ti, Charleon was almost going to faint. Before it fainted it looked at Marcus. It still could not believe that it was losing. None of its moves were connected or had any damage.
'Maybe that is why he is the boss.', it thought.
But Marcus said, "You have anger and hate in your eyes, but you are still family. And family should live in peace. Because the more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war."
Hearing this, Charleon finally fainted.

The battle may have looked extrely easy for Marcus, but only it knew how hard it was. Marcus had planned this battle for weeks. Axel had told it, Charleon's nature could drastically change after it evolved and it may beco arrogant. So, Marcus had deduced that it would directly challenge the boss, a.k.a itself.
So, Marcus had been thinking of Charleon's moves and ability and planning its battle. And finally, it won. If only a single 'Flathrower' among dozens of it had sohow hit it, it would have been a goner.
The battle went exactly as Axel thought. He thought that Charleon would lose terribly and it did happen. He noted down all the problems of Charleon's training and thought to improve it in later stages.
First, Charleon had a habit of using its moves as it was instructed by Axel. So, it never planned its moves. 'Dragon dance' at the beginning was unnecessary. It increased attack and speed. Charleon didn't have any direct attack move that could hurt Marcus (it only had ember and flathrower that could hurt Marcus. Both are sp. Attack moves). And as for speed, Marcus was insanely fast, and the increase in speed was not going to affect it much.
The second thing was Charleon's knowledge. It didn't even know that Marcus is immune to dragon-type moves.
The third would be that it was not observant. Marcus purposely led it to the trees where it could use its 'Shadow sneak' better.
One of the many strategies which impressed Axel was Marcus using multiple 'Hypnosis' in the beginning. It didn't have any direct effect on Charleon, as its body was energized with evolution energy but it broke Charleon's balance. It had just evolved. Its stats and move powers may have increased but it was not stabilized. It was wild and haywire. And 'Hypnosis' just affected its energy balance even more.
Axel was surprised at Charleon's stupidity. It used 'Dragon rush' 3 tis. It was a stamina-draining move and it had no effect on Marcus.
But when Marcus used 'Gravity' and put Charleon to the ground he knew the ga was over. 'Gravity' had now destroyed, the already disturbed energy balance of Charleon. 'Bug buzz' was just the cherry on top.
It had further contributed to energy imbalance. And before he knew it the ga was over.
This battle was not like a battle of equal, or battle between a powerful monster and a smart one or even like a rookie with experienced. This battle was like a battle of a mortal against a god. The difference between them was like heaven and earth. Like a son and father when it ca to the matter of sex. Or like a frog in a well with an eagle in the sky.
Charleon was not very hurt. It just needed to cool down for so ti and take so rest.
But this was the first battle that Charleon ever lost.
