"Scizor, let's finish this!" Chadri called out.
The red tal Pokemon burst from its Pokeball with a loud clang. Its steel pincers glead under the lights. This was Chadri's fastest attacker.
"SCIZOR!"
It crossed its pincers, ready to fight.
Togepi looked up at the Bug/Steel-type and waved. "Toge toge pii!!"
"Scizor, GA EVOLVE!"
Chadri's ga Ring blazed with rainbow light, connecting with the Scizorite on Scizor's body.
FLASH!
ga Scizor erged from the transformation. Its pincers beca even more massive and dangerous, resembling three-pronged claws. Black markings spread across its red body, and its eyes glead with enhanced focus.
"A ga Evolution!" The crowd roared.
"Now, ga Scizor, Bullet Punch, as fast as you can!"
ga Scizor's Technician ability boosted weak moves, and Bullet Punch always went first. It could attack before Togepi finished using trono!
ga Scizor vanished in a blur. Its steel pincer shot forward faster than anyone could see.
"Toge—!" Togepi's fingers just started moving when the punch connected.
BAM!
Togepi tumbled backward across the floor. The trono got interrupted!
"Again! Don't give it ti!" Chadri ordered.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
More punches. ga Scizor kept hitting with enhanced power, never letting Togepi use its fingers. Each Bullet Punch hit harder thanks to Technician.
"Toge... pi..." Togepi struggled to stand, looking dizzy. Even with John's Aura helping, its baby stats couldn't take repeated super-effective hits.
"One more! Finish it!" Chadri pressed.
BAM!
Togepi was knocked back again, eyes starting to spiral.
John smiled. "Good job, Togepi. Four out of six isn't bad at all."
"Togepi, return." John recalled his baby Pokemon.
The crowd had mixed reactions, so relieved, others disappointed the show was over.
Chadri let out a breath. Finally. One down, but it cost him four Pokemon. He had ga Scizor and tagross left.
"So you're finally taking this seriously," Chadri said, his confidence coming back.
John's expression changed from playful to focused. The warm-up was done.
"You wanted to take you seriously?" John grabbed his second Pokeball. "Here's a Pokemon that doesn't need luck."
He threw it.
"Co out, Haxorus!"
ROOOAAAAAR!
The dragon's roar shook the stadium. A huge form appeared, scales that were black instead of green. A Shiny Haxorus, black scales with red edges, tusks glowing with dragon power.
Where Togepi was cute, Haxorus looked down rigth monstrous dangerous.
"A Shiny?!" Chadri's eyes widened. Shiny Pokemon were already incredibly rare, but a fully trained Shiny Haxorus was on another level. Still, considering John had the most Shiny Pokémon in the world, it wasn't that surprising.
"ga Scizor vs Haxorus..." Chadri thought fast. Bug/Steel versus Dragon. Bad matchup, but ga Scizor had speed.
"ga Scizor! Bullet Punch!"
ga Scizor blurred forward.
"Dragon Dance," John said calmly.
Haxorus's eyes glowed red. Even as the punch hit, dragon energy swirled around it. The attack barely hurt - Haxorus just tanked it while its Attack and Speed went up.
"Again! Don't let it power up!" Chadri yelled.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
ga Scizor threw punch after punch. But Haxorus stood there taking it while the boost finished.
"Now," John said. "Outrage."
Haxorus's eyes lit up with pure fury. Purple and red flas covered its black scales.
ROOOAAAAAAAAR!!
The Shiny Haxorus moved. Not fast like ga Scizor, but unstoppable.
Its massive tusk swung, covered in dragon fire.
ga Scizor tried to dodge—
Too slow.
CRASH!
One hit. After all those punches, Haxorus ended it with one strike.
ga Scizor hit the wall and slid down, knocked out.
"ga Scizor is unable to battle! Haxorus wins!"
The crowd went crazy.
Chadri stared at his fallen ga Scizor, then at the Shiny Haxorus still glowing with leftover dragon energy.
One Pokemon left. tagross, his ace.
He grabbed his ga Ring.
"This isn't over, John." Chadri's voice was hard as steel.
