Black Vs Calem(1)

"Alright, then! Altaria, let's go!"

"Lapras, let's do this! Start things off with an Ice Beam!"

"Counter with a Flamethrower!"

Lapras came out and immediately shot out a powerful Ice Beam, but Altaria was ready. She countered with a Flamethrower that almost overtook the Ice Beam. Almost.

"Switch it to Brine!"

The Ice Beam melted into a powerful blast of water that immediately beat the Flamethrower and hit Altaria, launching her away. But she got up easily. This is definitely gonna be a hard fight.

"So, you can switch moves on command, huh? That little trick won't be enough to beat me! Altaria, use Dragon Pulse!"

"Lapras, counter with your own!"

The two launched purple beams of pure Dragon energy at each other, but it was clear which one was more powerful. While Lapras had a strong blast, Altaria's mastery of the Dragon type energy in her was clear. Her Dragon Pulse immediately overpowered Lapras', knocking her back.

"Lapras, go for Ice Beam once more!"

"Don't let her! Use Dragon Pulse again!"

Once Lapras regained her footing, or rather, her finning, she fired off an Ice Beam much more powerful than the first one. Altaria tried to counter, but Lapras definitely had a lot more mastery over her typing. In a stunning explosion, the Ice Beam burst through the Dragon Pulse, knocking right into Altaria, causing her to fall to the ground. And though she quickly got up, she was hurt. She had slowed down, for sure. We had a perfect opening.

"Now, use Brine once again!"

"Dodge and use Dragon Claw!"

Lapras shot water from her mouth again, this time also a lot more powerful. But Altaria still managed to dodge the attack and cloak her claws in green energy. She dashed towards Lapras, but as Lapras moved her head, Altaria realized that the Brine had not ended. It had simply moved. Altaria was launched back into the stands after the hit, and then it was called.

"Altaria is unable to battle! Lapras is the winner!" Hilbert said.

"Darn it! Altaria, come back. Clefable, you're up!"

"Lapras, you come back too. Luca, come on out. Let's start things off with a Metal Claw."

"Dodge and use Flamethrower!"

Luca's hand began to shine with Steel energy as he dashed forwards to hit Clefable. She tried to dodge, but as she did, Luca changed direction and hit her anyway. Right after he hit her, he began to glow orange for a second, showing that his attack had increased because of the hit.

"Keep attacking! Don't leave an opening!"

"Clefable, use Protect!"

Both of Luca's fists began to shine as he went in for another strike, but Clefable had enough time to set up a barrier between them. Luca began to attack rapidly, constantly cracking the barrier more and more. And a few times, he glowed orange again, increasing his attack more. Before long, the barrier broke from the intense pressure it was under. And as soon as the first hit connected on Clefable, she was launched far, but not fainted.

"Now, Fire Blast!"

"Dodge and use Bone Rush."

Clefable charged up a ball of fire in front of her mouth before firing it at Luca. The blast moved at an intense speed, only for Luca to easily dodge it and create a bone out of aura. In a quick movement, Luca hit Clefable, launching her back once again.

"Don't let up. Keep attacking!"

Luca broke the bone in half and lunged towards Clefable, not letting a single attack miss. And he only stopped once he knew Clefable had fainted. Hilbert jogged towards where they were, and called the match.

"Clefable is unable to battle! Lucario is the winner!"

"Well, dang. That's two now! You're stronger than you look, y'know that?"

"Oh yeah, I know. Luca, let's have you take on another opponent, shall we?"

"Fine then! Kanga, come on out!"

He tossed up a pokeball and out came an extremely large Kangaskhan, standing at an impressive height of 7 foot 10. From looks alone, she was intimidating, but Luca didn't stand down. Instead, he smiled. He was going to have fun with this.

"Let's start things off right! Kanga, use Fire Punch!"

"Counter with Power-Up Punch."

The two dashed towards each other, and surprisingly, Kanga was quite fast. The two clashed in the middle of the arena, causing a huge shockwave to be sent out, pushing everyone back a little.

"Keep going."

"Keep using Fire Punch!"

The two continued to clash fists, meeting each other blow for blow. And surprisingly, despite the multiple power-ups that Luca had, they were seemingly evenly matched. This Kangaskhan was not something we could take lightly. We would need to change up the strategy if we wanted to win.

"Back up and use Dragon Pulse."

"Use Icy Wind!"

Luca jumped backwards before sticking his hand out and blasting a beam of powerful Dragon energy directly towards Kanga. She stuck her hands out as well, and emitted a cloud of snow and ice. But due to the superior attack, and his superior special attack, Luca's Dragon Pulse easily tore through the Icy Wind and hit Kanga, knocking her backwards. But it was nowhere near enough to knock her out.

"Luca, we're gonna need to power up. It's time to Mega Evolve!"

As per usual, Luca's Lucarionite began to glow orange with my Key Stone glowing bright white. The lights merged, and Luca burst out, in his mega form.

"Alright then! If you're gonna Mega Evolve, then so are we! Kanga, let's do this! Mega Evolve!"

Unexpected, but not surprising.

Calem's Mega Ring that was on his wrist began to glow white, just like my Key Stone. And from Kanga's pouch came a beige glow. When the lights merged, instead of light enveloping Kanga, it covered her pouch. And when the light dissipated, out from her pouch came a small, purple Kangaskhan. It was her kid!

"Alright! Now let's see what you can do against two different opponents! Kanga, use Fire Punch! Li'l Kanga, use Ice Punch!"

The two dashed at Luca at insane speeds, and surprisingly, the little one was easily keeping up. And they went for a pincer attack, with Kanga coming from the front and Li'l Kanga coming from behind.

"Luca, attack them both."

Luca countered the blows he was going to get hit by with a punch to block Kanga's and a kick to block Li'l Kanga's. This caught them off guard, allowing Luca to get away quickly.

"Attack together! Use Mega Punch!"

"Counter it with an aura filled punch."

The two Kangas dashed towards Luca, both of their fists glowing white. Meanwhile, Luca filled his fist with aura, causing what looked like a blue gauntlet to appear around it. Then, he dashed towards them, and the three met in the middle, causing a humongous clash and explosion right after. But surprisingly, all three were knocked out of the smoke. And not a single one of them was knocked out. Just weakened.

"Let's go for another attack. Kanga, use Focus Punch! Li'l Kanga, use Comet Punch!"

"Luca, get ready to counterattack."

Kanga began to charge up a powerful attack, and I could already tell that if Luca got hit by that, it would cause him to be knocked out. Li'l Kanga dashed forwards, not as fast but still quick. Li'l Kanga began to rush Luca with a flurry of punches. Unsurprisingly, Luca could keep up with each one. Sometimes dodging, sometimes countering. But I saw what Li'l Kanga was doing. He was pushing Luca back towards Kanga. And soon enough, he was within range.

"Now, Kanga! Strike him down!"

Kanga launched her attack right at Luca, but he turned around in time to strike back. I don't know what he did, but the next thing I knew, there had been a shockwave that knocked us on the ground. From the clash rose smoke. And no one was flying out of it.
