"Ora!" I shouted appearing almost instantly in front of Marshadow and stabbing forward with my Longinus.
*Ding*
Once more my attack was deflected upwards so I changed the pace up a bit by boosting my speed through Agility and swung Longinus down using Curse Slash. Marshadow jumps backward her body vanished, my eyes nor Clairvoyance was able to find her.
[Phantom Force]
Activating Psychic Terrain, I awaited Marshadow's attack, she may come from anywhere, north, east, west...
Absolute Barrier.
*Crack*
The barrier I formed above my head was broken by Marshadow's fusion kick, but the short moment it block his attack was enough for me to raise my Longinus to counterattack.
"Ora!" The bluish-purple beam bursts out Longinus and as it was about to hit Marshadow, Marshadow once more used Phantom Force dodging my attack, while Shadow Claws burst out of the ground around me all of which trying to crush me.
Boosted with Agility I stab forward at each one of them before turning around and using PE AE Chidori from my fist at the incoming Marshadow who once more escapes into the shadow. However, that brief moment allowed me to use a rarely used ability.
[Trace has copied Shadow Movement]
Psychic Terrain already made it so I can react whenever she reappears but with the aid of Shadow Movement, I can attack within the short frame she appeared.
PE & AE: Speed & Physical Attack
Shadow Movement quickly picked up Marshadow's reappearance which I arrived instantly with Shadow Movement appearing behind Marshadow and stabbing forward with my strongest attack.
"Strike, Longinus!" As my spear moves towards Marshadow, countless Shadow Claw burst out of the ground acting as a shield to block my attack. At the same time, I can sense Shadow Balls appearing in all directions around me shooting forward.
"Sometimes you don't need fusion moves to get the results you want," Marshadow said, taking advantage of the short delay dodges my attack before pressing her hand onto the ground where a giant Shadow Claw burst out moving towards me.
Hidden Power Dark: Spears.
Spears made from Hidden Power Dark shot forward countering Marshadow's Shadow Balls, while I slash down at the giant Shadow Claw using a boosted Curse Slash. Marshadow watches me curiously before gathering Ghost-type energy to form a spear, unlike my Longinus this would collapse once Marshadow stops providing energy to it.
"Ora!" Marshadow shouts appearing behind and stabbing forward with her Shadow Spear.
*ding*
Having already cut the Shadow Claw down, I was able to react in time and block Marshadow's stab by batting her spear away before pulling my spear back to stab forward.
*ding*
Sadly, she copied me and her spear is moving faster than mine.
*ding*
Envy Form had unknowingly activated and had weakened Marshadow's Shadow Spear, but it didn't take much effort for Marshadow to fix it and made it even better than the previous one.
*ding*
Blocking her attack I was forced to take a step back pissing me off and I once more stabs forward even better than previously.
*ding*
However, her speed if improving was even better and I was forced to use a boosted Absolute Barrier.
*shatter*
Absolute Barrier is way too soft. Taking a step back, I realized it wasn't just close combat I was losing at but in range combat as well. As we are fighting close combat, Marshadow was still firing off Shadow Balls to attack me, forcing me to continue to find them through Shadow Movement and counterattack with Hidden Power Dark: Spear.
If this fight was going on back when I was a Senior Champion I might have already been low on energy.
Trace Remove.

F*ck, this sh*ts broken!
Taking advantage of my Clairvoyance, I slip past a thrust from Marshadow and quickly encase on in Light Screen: Dome and with the aid of Envy Form, Marshadow's Shadow Balls were blocked.
[Host has learned Freezing Glare » Expert]
Freezing Glare shot out from my eyes while my boosted AE fist moved toward Marshadow, while my Psychic Terrain shrinks only covering inside the Light Screen: Dome.
[Host has learned Taunt » Expert]
[Disable: Advance » Expert]
[Perfect Fusion Move: No Escape = Taunt + Disable]
[No Escape: When use prevents the target from using any moves/abilities with the intent of retreating for a short while]
Freezing Glare was blocked by a small circular Protect with another one forming to block my punch. The Shadow Spear size retracts before being pointed at me and expanding forward, meanwhile, Marshadow let's one hand free to use Dynamic Punch.
A fuse PE and AE fist move forward to counterattack Marshadow's own while I used a boosted Earth Power to create an earth spike to intercept Marshadow's spear.
*ding*
The spike deflects Marshadow's spear upwards but sadly the battle of fists was my defeat, with the impact pushing me backward a couple of meters, this also lead to my Light Screen: Dome breaking causes numerous Shadow Balls to move towards me.
"No matter how many Physical boosts you gain you could never fight me head-on," Marshadow snorts, her body disappears with 8 Marshadows now appearing around me.
"Luckily, I'm one of the best Special Attackers," Stabbing my spear into the ground I used Earth Power, causing earth spikes to burst out of the ground moving towards the 8 Marshadows, and as for the incoming Shadow Balls, I fully neutralize them with Envy Form.
[Host has learned Sandstorm » Expert]
Each Marshadow broke through the Earth Spikes easily, but the Sandstorm has already begun.
[Host has learned Hurricane » Expert]
[Perfect Fusion Move: Imperfect Psychotic Storm » Psychotic Storm = Hurricane + Psychic + Psycho Cut]
Shadow Claws broke out from the ground moving towards me while the 8 Marshadows each having a spear in hand, appears above me through Shadow Movement throwing their spears at me. However, with Psychotic Storm, now active they blew into the storm along with their masters with the storm centered around me.
With Clairvoyance, I quickly picked out which one is the real, though it was surprising to find out they were made through Ghost-type energy. Regardless, I went for the killing blow.
Curse Aura Sphere: Physical.
With Negative Energy, Dark-type energy, and Aura Sphere fusing together into my sphere I javelin throw my spear at Marshadow.
"GET REKT!"

Perfect Mastery (Deep Gold)
Perfect Mastery not only makes the time required to master a move, instantly, but also helps one quickly understand another Pokemon's fighting style, enabling them to know the best way to counterattack. Perfect Mastery also aids in understanding the usage of moves and abilities, making one understand how to fully use the ability/move.
One can say the only demerit to this move is that it can't speed up leveling/training abilities (those that need to train to reach their limit), this is also because such abilities also require energy to tier up. Regardless, Perfect Mastery is still one of the most broken abilities around, Pokemons with this ability having the second-lowest lost rate.
