"Sure," answered Shiranui.[hr]After entering the Battle Pike, Shiranui was not surprised in the least to see Scott in the stands.  After taking his place at the battlefield he noticed Pike Queen Lucy's attire was not unlike a Pokémon Coordinator entering Seviper into a Contest.  "This battle between Pike Queen Lucy and Shiranui Tsukiko will be a two-on-two single battle with no time limit!" stated one of Lucy's students whose hair was a pale cyan.
"Seviper, you're on!"
"Higitsune, I choose you!"  Lucy opened with her favourite Pokémon and Shiranui responded with one of his personal favourites: Delphox.
"Seviper, Poison Tail!"
"Higitsune, Will-O-Wisp!"  Higitsune pointed his stick at Seviper and barked an incantation before ghostly pale blue flames whooshed out at the charging Seviper.  Seviper pushed through the flames and landed a hit that did little damage thanks to type resistance and a burn it got from Higitsune's attack.
"Seviper, Poison Fang!"
"Higitsune, Psychic!"  The Delphox uttered another incantation and Seviper was in a strong telekinetic hold before being flung around the field.  Seviper charged at Higitsune and gave him a venomous bite, leaving the Delphox badly poisoned.
"Your Pokémon is a psychic, eh?  Seviper, use Bite!"
"Higitsune, Role Play!"  Higitsune swayed about like an Arbok dancing to a snake charmer's oboe as he copied Seviper's Shed Skin ability.  Seviper lunged at Higitsune, but the Delphox swayed out of the way.  Higitsune's Shed Skin cured the Delphox of his poison, but Seviper still had a burn.
"Try again, Seviper!"
"Higitsune, Psyshock!"  A swish of Higitsune's stick caused a psychic wave to materialise and Seviper felt it.  The force was enough to knock Seviper out.[hr]"Seviper, return; Milotic, you're up!"
"Higitsune, return; Senritsu, I choose you!"  Lucy switched her headliner for another serpent; this one highly sought after in the contest circuit.  Shiranui switched out his Delphox for his Altaria.
"Milotic, Twister!"
"Senritsu, set the clock ticking with Perish Song!  Mega ring activate!"  Shiranui activated his Mega Ring and Senritsu glowed as she became a Mega Altaria.  Milotic conjured a tornado, but Senritsu rode the winds and was not affected by the attack.  The Mega Altaria sang a haunting requiem that set the course for Lucy's defeat.
"Milotic, Iron Tail!"
"Senritsu, Sing!"  Milotic leaped out of the water and clobbered Senritsu with its metallic tail.  The Mega Altaria sang a lullaby and Milotic fell asleep.  With the Perish Song count at 2 and a sleeping Milotic, Lucy was backed into a corner.
"Milotic, wake up and use Iron Tail once more!"
"Senritsu, Cotton Guard!"  Senritsu fluffed up her wings and tail in case Milotic woke up, but Milotic was still asleep as time was running out for the serpent.  Lucy predicted an impending switch-out.
"Milotic, wake up and use Hydro Pump!"
"Senritsu, return; Higitsune, I choose you!"  True to Lucy's prediction, Shiranui switched his Mega Altaria back to his Delphox.  Milotic still wouldn't wake up and at that point in time a crimson glow surrounded the serpent as Perish Song took effect, knocking Milotic out.  Shiranui had won the Luck Symbol.
