PLAYER
Billy and Yahoola raced toward Virikas invisibly once more, Entei chomping down on Virikas as well. The serpent entered such a furious rage as to be able to escape the fire-type's jaws with little effort, its desperation the source of its mighty power now.
With a spine-tingling hiss from Virikas, the black flames around the ruins grew to a tall peak, the trainers and Pokémon within starting to feel its fatigue. Its eyes burned black and red with power it only unleashed when fighting for its life.

Billy reached into his pocket and grabbed an Antidote and used it on Yahoola as the Flygon flinched from the pain caused by the Serpent's toxins. "Yahoola, use Extreme Speed to get over to Josh and Beryl. Entei, you do the same!" Yahoola and Billy shot toward them through the air while Entei did the same on the ground.

An enraged Mystic bellowed at the sky, the Dragon Fang at his throat glowing with purple draconic energy. The electric storms of the Antearenae Desert grew even more violent, the clouds darkening to purple as a massive meteor emerged from the sky, aimed squarely at Virikas's head. (Draco Meteor)
Billy's team distanced from Virikas, the Chosen drawing out Yahoola's poison while rushing to Josh's defense.
__________
PLAYER
After seeing so much terrible bloodshed, Mystic finally snapped. The dome of black flames tried to deflect the celestial object falling for Virikas, but all it did was further fuel its power. Once it pierced the dome, the black flames turned a Dragoon shade of purple. The huge rock hurtled toward Virikas, squarely striking it in the noggin and lodging it in the sand.

Heavily defended and Virikas immobile, Josh approached his foe and tossed the first Ball at it. He hoped one would be enough, unsure how much more his friends could take.

Wishful thinking--even in an immobile state, Virikas' flames were so hot as to deflect the Ball away from it with thermals alone.
Virikas let out an otherworldly screech, a black explosion rocking the fire-type's burial point. The awesome force behind it dislodged Mystic's meteor and let it soar skyward again.
With the cheerleader Chosen unconscious, Virikas could safely execute its plan to rid Ageos of its Chosen. One terrifying hiss later, it started drawing dim light into its ghostly frame.

Virikas' eyes blazed black and red, drawing in light from around it and absorbing it into nothingness.

Yahoola, Billy on his back, and Entei raced to others. Once there, Billy reached for one of the special Pokeballs his friends had to seal away the Serpents. He tossed the Seal Ball at Virikas.
Josh let out a sigh when he realized this was his last Ball. He'd have to run over to the unconscious Geoff if this failed. He threw it at Virikas and crossed his fingers.

This time, Virikas was drawn in. Josh stared at the black Ball half-buried itself in the sand from the fire-type's resistance. When its color changed to blend in with the sand, they knew it was over.
Billy gave Josh a clap on the shoulder. "Excellent throw Josh. Now that we've finally put away Virikas for good, we just need to get Geoff, Beryl, and you to the hospital to make sure you will all be alright. As well as get our Pokemon to the Pokemon Center to get them back to being healthy" Billy looked around to see who could walk on their own and who needed help, he had lost track of who was left standing during Virikas's finally assault.
Beryl breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness it's over. Now I just have to check on Sui--" She gasped and clutched her chest as a terrible, sickening feeling welled up inside her, then collapsed onto the sand.
Mystic flew over and loaded the unconscious Dragoon into his back, then looked to Beryl's friends for directions.
With the serpent encased and imprisoned, the black flames died down and vanished, the Chosen could leave the ruins. Josh pulled out his Pokédex and made an emergency call to have paramedics pick up Geoff and Articuno, requesting treatment for fallen and badly injured Pokémon. "We should probably stick around to make sure help arrives and nothing goes too terribly wrong," Josh suggested.

As Mirage flew behind Machamp to attack, four bullet like fists struck out at him before the Ninjask's claws could fully connect with their target.(Bullet Punch)
Josh couldn't tell if Mirage's claws struck Machamp before the fighting-type about-faced its fists into its foe. Not wanting to take any chances, he released Bladestorm and had it charge at high speed, the gaps in its wings creating air blades all around it.

After Bladestorm's blades of wind struck the Machamp, it tried to retaliate with a massive full force assault on the Skarmory but seemed to lack the coordination to pull off the maneuver.(Revenge/Flinch)
Bladestorm's powerful wings knocked the remaining fight out of the Machamp, leaving it wheezing on the ground and in know shape to hinder Josh's trip through Victory Road any longer.
Josh breathed a deep sigh, taking in the scale of the arena he was in. When people filled the stands, it'd be much more grand--and nerve-wracking. Of course, he'd only have to worry about it if he kept doing well. "I know how fierce an ally you are, Beryl," the yellow-clad trainer said to his friend and adversary. "I wonder who the victor will be." He spent a lot of time thinking about his three choices for the practice battle. At the very least, this would be a learning experience for them both--nothing on the line as of yet. He only realized just now how difficult even the team selection process was, and the potential for mind games there were. Both trainers had such balanced teams that the correct choices were unclear.

Beryl, for her part, sat in the trainer's box pondering in silence. Josh's team was all over the place, type-wise -- the only thing his Pokemon seemed to have in common was that all of them had speed. I don't think it's a safe bet to challenge him directly on that front...but if I fall back on my usual tactics, he'll without a doubt be prepared to counter them. She racked her brain, trying to think if there were any other weaknesses she could exploit. Finally she set aside three Poke Balls, designating one as her lead Pokemon. "Ready whenever you are!"
Rumble (L), Mystic, Highwind
OOC: I'm gonna trust you to figure out the HP calculations for this one.
Josh hummed and hawed over selections for a while before deciding to go with a fairly safe lead. Leading with either Saber or Resheph would be greedy. When he noticed time was running out, he made his three selections, quickly. Once the pregame timer ran out, Josh released the Poké Ball containing Twilight.
1) Twilight
2) Saber
3) Resheph

When Josh saw Rumble, he fistpumped and drew his spear, Twilight encased in a bright, yellow ball of light. With the sound of thunder echoing loudly throughout the battleground, he saw Twilight's new form--the dark-type's blades looked larger and more serrated, and angelic wings sprouted from its mane, though it appeared it could not fly on them at first glance. "Twilight, use Swords Dance!" Josh's Pokémon pranced around, the sunlight reflecting brightly off its sharpened blades.
Josh had chosen well - a Pokemon that none of Beryl's team had particularly favorable type coverage against. With the Absol powering up, Beryl decided to hit it as hard as possible before it could do any real damage. "Earthquake!" she directed, the Whiscash empowered by the Life Orb she was holding as she slammed into the hard stone floor of the stadium.
ooc: for reference, using https://pokemonshowdown.com/damagecalc/ this to do calculations--including initiative calculations. Hope you have something that can get in front of M-Absol speedwise.
Josh crossed his fingers when the ground erupted around his Pokémon, Twilight's fur blotched red and blue from sharp earth tearing it up. It slowly stood up, letting out a loud battle cry before rushing toward Rumble and furiously slicing and slashing. Hopefully its slow recovery was enough of a feint to really punish Rumble and Beryl.
