Josh let out a sigh of relief. "That's about as good as I can expect this to start," he thought. "Come on, focus." He shook his head, Bladestorm taking to the air. "Slice it up with your blades and find a chink in its armor! Use Steel Wing!"

Bladestorm let out a shriek, jetting toward Tyranitar but pulling up a split second too soon.
When Josh saw Tyranitar's fireball split into ten on impact instead of five, he knew something was up. This was no ordinary Pokémon. But neither was Bladestorm; its bloodthirstiness and tenacity kept it from burning to a crisp on sheer willpower. Without even a command from Josh, the steel-type charged at Tyranitar a second time.
Josh didn't want to see Bladestorm permanently marred from the attack; he withdrew his Pokémon shortly after the attack connected. He pondered his options as long as the action timer would allow him before deciding Twilight was his best option. He raised his spear above his head and began twirling it in a ritualistic fashion, Twilight sprouting wings at the shoulders. "Get your claws in that armor and rip it off!"
The roaring Tyranitar cleaved straight through Twilight. Disgusted, Josh swapped out for Ixion, his final Pokémon, then realized she wouldn't be able to make a difference in the battle at all. He recalled his Pokémon and turned around for a few seconds. "...Well done," he said as an indicator of his concession.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
Josh smiled when he released Twilight, the Pokémon prancing around while being bathed by the yellow light of Josh's twirling spear. The Mega-Evolving Pokémon sliced the air around it repeatedly in an elaborate series of moves. (Swords Dance)
"Return!" Alarmed at her poor choice of starter, Wilma swapped her Pokemon out for an Audino. It, too, was carrying a sparkling stone that reflected the gleam of Wilma's bracelet.
Even more thrilled to see Wilma's replacement, Josh's smile grew to a grin, unable to contain his excitement. "Twilight, rip it apart with a Night Slash!" Sounding a battle cry, the white-furred Pokémon charged straight at Audino, ready to maul it.
"Not so fast!" Wilma held up her bracelet in synchrony with the Audino's Mega Stone, covering the Pokemon in a Protective shield. When it dissipated, the Audino's coat was now glowing with a pure white color.
Josh, completely unfazed after seeing so many Mega Evolutions, commanded Twilight to try again. The Pokémon pulled a sharp about face and charged Audino a second time, ready to spring upward and maul the white foe.
Unhappy with Twilight being drenched in green-and-purple goop, Josh commanded it to keep plowing through and mauling the fairy-type. Its claws gleamed in the light, looking for a chink to pierce through its foe's fairy aura.
ETA: Sry forgot passives in my frustration with Showdown's calc not updated for ORAS. fyi I'm treating Break X Limit as +33% base stat (either atk/spA or hp. unsure if hp should be def/spD instead)
The second slash found its mark, knocking out the little Audino. Wilma replaced her Pokemon with a Feraligatr.
NAME BLV HP% Cond
Feraligatr 19 100
M-Audino 19 0 KO
Dusknoir 19 100
Fully in blind rage mode, Twilight continued to wheel back and forth, slashing every foe in its path. It had to stop to let out a cough that was building up thanks to the Audino's parting gift.
When Twilight knocked out her Feraligatr in a single hit, Wilma knew she had lost the match. "You're truly a marvelous fighter. I concede," she said, recalling her fallen Pokemon.
The referee announced Josh as the winner at a score of 3-0.
When he walked into the arena the next morning, Josh was met by a man in his early twenties. "So you're the one they call the Chosen of Raikou, eh?" he said with a grin. "Be lookin' forward to seein' whatcha got."
"Allrighty, enough of waitin'! Let's go, Galvantula!" Sergio tossed a Poke Ball into the ring. A spiny, yellow-colored spider Pokemon skittered out of the flash of light.
Josh rolled his eyes, disgusted with his lead. "I should probably remember we're a known quantity around here," he mumbled to himself before shouting, "Return, Twilight! Ixion, take it out!" A first-turn switch felt like ceding the initiative to his foe--something his team was not designed to do.
