Wye Coldren and Brooks
[Route 701 - Pokemon Center]"Alright, then, let's dive into it," Wye said excitedly as he pushed his finger up to flick off the bump, revealing the keystone underneath. His thumb struck the keystone and Mali's Mega Stone started to react as well. The Iron Leg pokemon transformed into a slightly larger core bodied form with eight arms.
Brooks was partially surprised by the promptness of the Metagross' Mega Evolution.
"Not wasting any time, are we? Well, let's see what you've got, let's rock Feraligatr." He said, but did not trigger his Mega Evolution yet.
Wye bit his lower lips. He let the device he was holding dangle around his neck.
"Let's get a one up! Meteor Mash!" Wye said excitedly as Mali locked its front claws together and launched itself forward with speed to charge the Feraligatr with its signature move.
Strangely, both Brooks and Feraligatr remained completely calm as the attack rushed forward.
"That basic? Feraligatr, block it." He said, Feraligatr obliging by raising his two arms into a blocking x.
Mali slammed into the Feraligatr's guard and its claws slid downwards.
"Push up and again!" The claws hit the ground before the incredible strenght of the pokemon launched it upwards, taking the same pose again before diving back down, with good balance.
"Not bad." Brooks mumbled under his breath. Feraligatr instantly put his arms up again, preparing to block the next attack as it came diving downward. As it made contact, the impact caused a small dust cloud to kick up around the two Pokemon.
After a moment, Mali emerged from Wye's side of the dust cloud, facing his opponent with anticipation. Wye gave a look that showed he was half worried, half hyped up.
As the dust cleared, Feraligatr was not only still standing, but didn't seem to have a scratch on him.
"That's what I like to see, Feraligatr. Alright, Fire Fang let's go!" He said, Feraligatr's mouth lighting up with flames as he rushed forward towards the Mega Evolved Metagross.
"Zen Headbutt!" Mali nodded before zooming forward with the psychic battering ram formed in front of its head as it charged the Feraligatr. As the two attacks clashed, the Zen Headbutt's aura disappeared in face of the raw power of the Fire Fang, sending a hurt Mali down on the groundbefore it glided back.
Feraligatr quickly recovered from the clash, the flames extinguishing from his maw. He'd done some damage, but there was still a ways to go.
"Alright, follow it up with Aqua Tail!" He said, Feraligatr letting a swell of water surround his tail as he swung it towards the Mega Metagross.
"Ice Punch! Stop the water in its tracks!" The riled up Metagross cried out before it zoomed forward again to attack the tail with the ice attack.
The Aqua Tail froze from the Ice Punch thrown at it, but Feraligatr slightly used this to his advantage, slamming down the frozen attack right into his target.
While having taken quite a few strong hits, Mali showed its endurance as a Mega Metagross. As it skidded back, it spun to use the momentum to keep moving.
"Nice! Bullet Punch to follow up quickly!" The pokemon shot forward again with much greater speed than before.
As the Metagross shot forward like, well, a bullet, Brooks didn't even have to say anything. Feraligatr suddenly jumped up into the air. He looked down at his Steel Type opponent as he started coming downward again.
"Perfect shot, use Earthquake!" Said Brooks, Feraligatr ready to impact with the ground. However, that didn't seem to stop the charging Metagross. The Earthquake landed, but the Mega Metagross continued right on ahead, with its Bullet Punch eventually colliding with Feraligatr, sending him skidding back a few feet.
"Good! Zen Headbutt once more!" Mali went ahead once more with the Psychic attack, charging at the Feraligatr.
Brooks smiled as he came in for his attack. Time to finish this. He held up his Mega Ring, touching it with his other hand.
"Time to end this! Feraligatr, Mega Evolve!" He said, as his Keystone resonated with Feraligatr's Mega Stone. Two streams of light connected in midair, and Feraligatr was suddenly enveloped in light. Then it dissipated, and what stood before them was Mega Feraligatr. Metagross' Attack scored a direct hit, but it was like hitting a reinforced brick wall.
"Woah!" Wye glanced at the screen of the device with his keystone on it before turning back to the battle.
"Alright, Mali! Meteor Mash, full force!"The Metagross was coming in for another attack, but Brooks was ready to finish this.
"End it right here, Feraligatr, use Crunch!" He said. Feraligatr obliged, and all that could be said was Feraligatr charged forward, and massive shadowy jaws enveloped the Mega Metagross target. It was over.
As the dust cleared, a white flash of light came from Mali, who had reverted back to its original form, knocked out. Wye looked on dumbfounded, before giving a weak grin.
"Ah... Good job. Take a rest," he said, holding the pokemon's pokeball out and calling it back.
"You're pretty strong," he called out to Brooks, rubbing the back of his head.
"That's some insane power..."Feraligatr reverted back in a flash of light to its normal form, with Brooks walking up next to it on the battlefield.
"Good work, partner." He said, patting him on the back. He looked back to the trainer ahead of him.
"Thanks, it comes in my line of work, so to speak." He walked across the coutyard towards the main building.
"Your Metagross was well trained, I was just on another level. It was a good battle, though. The name's Brooks. You'll see me around." With that he headed back inside the Pokemon Center, his Feraligatr following right behind.
"Brooks, huh?" Wye said to himself quietly.
"My name is Wye, by the way!" He yelled after the trainer but he'd already disappeared from sight.
