There has always been battles on Mobius, but none are as entertaining as Pokémon battles. Each of these battles last an average of 5-7 minutes. This helps the local Mobians of the Kingdoms forget about Eggmans war on Sonic and his friends. The main events always have the Mobian King, Mancer the Hedgefox', Pokémon.
A Dialga has just fallen in battle. Now, in this main event, there is a Dusk Form Lycanroc and a Mega Rayquaza hashing it out for dominance, in a 3-on-3 battle.
"Sunshine, use Extreme Speed!", exclaims Mancer.
Sunshine, who is the Mega Rayquaza, charges at the Lycanroc at full speed.
"Maxine, dodge it and use Rock Tomb!", exclaims a female Mobian.
Maxine, who is the Dusk Form Lycanroc, jumps over Sunshine and calls forth heavy stones to stop the Rayquaza in its tracks, harshly slowing it down. Maxine lands next to the stones. "How do ya like that, Sunshine?"
Sunshine groans, forcing herself out of the stones. "Shut up."
"Sunshine is still faster than Maxine, Mangle!", exclaims Mancer. "Sunshine, use Dragon Pulse!"
Sunshine opens her large mouth, hitting Maxine into the wall.
"Oh! And just like that, Sunshine and Mancer have taken back dominance in this battle!", exclaims Rouge the Bat, the local treasure hunter. "My, my, Shadow. It appears Mangle and Maxine have their work cut out for them. Do you think they can make a come-back?"
"From where I'm sitting, no.", replies Shadow the Hedgehog, the self-proclaimed Ultimate Lifeform and Mancers youngest brother. "Even though Maxine has the typing advantage in a Rock/Ground-type, she is still overall weaker than Sunshine, especially in her Mega Evolved state."
"Maxine, use Howl!", exclaims Mangle.
Maxine howls aloud, raising her Attack stat.
"That won't change a damn thang, babe.", taunts Mancer. "Sunshine, use Draco Meteor!"
Sunshine tilts her head skyward, sending a large ball into the sky, only to have it burst into many pieces and fall to the ground. But, this lowers her Sp. Att. stat because of the recoil of the meteors.
"Maxine, move your ass!", exclaims Mangle.
Maxine runs and dodges the meteors, only to get hit by the last one at the last second, severly hurting her.
"Maxine! Are you okay?"
Maxine groans as she stands up. She eats a Sitrus Berry, allowing her to regain some of her health. "Just tell me what do, Mangle."
Mangle nods, pointing at Sunshine. "Use Thief!"
Maxine jumps up and hit Sunshine in her chest, stealing her Sitrus Berry.
"Damn it.", says Mancer. "Alrighty, than. Use Double Team."
Sunshine creates multiples of herself, raising her evasivness.
Mangle scoffs. "You forget that this never misses. Aerial Ace!"
Maxine races forward, hitting Sunshine in the head.
"Well, well, well. Look at this.", announces Shadow. "It appears my sister-in-law has finally broken out of her shell. Let's see if this trend of hers continues."
"Use Metal Claw!", exclaims Mancer.
Sunshine flies at Maxine, hardening her claw.
"Use Counter!", exclaims Mangle.
Maxine meets Sunshines Metal Claw at the apex, using the Counter move to double the damage back. After an explosion takes place, Sunshine is sent careening into the wall, knocking her out.
Everyone in the stadium covers their faces to block themselves from the immense wind.
"Sunshine is unable to battle!", announces the referee. "Once the smoke clears, I will announce Maxines verdict!"
"What the hell just happened?!", asks Rouge. "I've never seen Sunshine take a hit like that, before!"
"Counter does double the physical damage back to the opponent.", replies Shadow. "Mangle telling Maxine to use Counter could have saved her chances at winning. But, than again, Metal Claw is a super effective move against Rock-type Pokémon. So, we'll see if Maxine has, indeed, survived this brutal attack."
The smoke begins to clear, showing Maxine knocked out.
"Maxine is unable to battle!", exclaims the ref. "It is a draw!"
The crowd roars in excitement.
Shadow scoffs. "As always, I was right. Metal Claw was the defining factor in this battle. Now, with both Rift and Maxine gone, Mangle only has one Pokémon left... Xof."
"Yeah. And that also puts Mancer at an advantage, because he still has Kerosene and Zohr.", replies Rouge.
Xof walks next up to Maxine, picking her up and carrying her back to Mangle. "She's gonna be fine. Give her time to rest, and she'll be back to her playful self."
"Right.", replies Mangle, standing up. "You know what to do."
Xof stands up, as well, nodding. He walks out to the middle of his side of the battle field. He pops his neck, readying himself.
Mancer looks to Kerosene and nods.
Kerosene chuckles and flies to the middle of her side of the field, roaring at Xof.
Xof scoffs.
"Battle... Begin!", exclaims the ref.
"Xof, use Psychic!", exclaims Mangle.
Xof picks up Kerosene with his mind and sends her into the wall beyond Mancer, causing him to duck.
Mancer stands up, looks back to Xof and whistles. "Nice play. Now, it's my turn. Use Flare Blitz!"
Kerosene forces herself out the wall and turns herself ablaze, flying at Xof.
Xof jumps up, turning in mid-air. He takes out one of his Bone Rush weapons and hits Kerosene on the head, making her fall into the ground and slow down to Mangles feet.
Kerosenes forces her head out the ground, shaking it and looking up at Mangle. "Hey, Mangle."
"Hey, Kerosene.", replies Mangle. "Aura Sphere!"
"Dodge it!", exclaims Mancer.
Kerosene dodges Xofs Aura Sphere, flying up high.
"Use Fire Blast!"
Kerosene surrounds herself with fire, shooting a large fire star at Xof.
"Counter with Aura Sphere!", exclaims Mangle.
Xof charges his Aura Sphere, sending it at Kerosenes Fire Blast, making the two moves collide and explode.
"Fire Fang!", exclaims Mancer.
Kerosene flies down at Xof, making her maw gain fire on her teeth.
Xof dodges Kerosenes attempt, using Power-Up Punch to sending her back to Mancer. He lands in front of Mangle, scoffing. "Is that all you got, Kerosene? I can do this all damn day."
Kerosene growls at Xof.
"Kerosene, calm down.", says Mancer.
"Use Psychic!", exclaims Mangle.
"Wait, what?!"
Xof lifts up Kerosene, slamming her into the ground, creating a dust cloud.
The dust cloud settles, revealing a knocked-out Kerosene.
"Kerosene is unable to battle!", exclaims the ref. "Xof is the winner!"
The crowd erupts in cheers.
"This is getting intense!", announces Shadow. "I've never seen Mangle take control of a Pokémon battle before!"
"Ha. As long as you've lived?", asks Rouge.
Mancer brings Kerosene back to his side. "You fought well, Kerosene. You deserve some rest." He looks to his last Pokémon. "You know what to do, Zohr."
Zohr scoffs, walking onto the field.
An alarm sounds off around the pavilion.
"Uh-oh. You all know what that means!", exclaims Rouge. "It's time for 'Random Stage Generator!'"
"And what's the stage for this last battle, Rouge?", asks Shadow.
"Today's stage is..."
Large wind turbines are produced around Xof and Zohr.
"The Flying-type stage! Whenever the Pokémon jump, they'll jump higher and fall slower."
"Fuck me...", complains Xof. "This is ridiculous. My ancestor has to go through this bullshit in Super Smash Brothers. Why do we have to go through it?"
"Because we have the money.", replies Mangle.
"Final battle... Begin!", exclaims the ref.
"Xof, use Dig!"
Xof jumps up and digs his way underground.
"Be careful, Zohr!", says Mancer. "Dat little bugger can jump in from outta knowhere!"
"I'm aware of what my brother can do, Mancer.", replies Zohr.
Xof jumps out the ground, kicking Zohr in the head. But, because of him flying out the ground, he rises higher than before.
"Now, that's a nasty kick to the dome.", announces Rouge.
"Agreed.", replies Shadow.
"Use Fire Fang!", exclaims Mancer.
Zohr jumps up, producing flames on his teeth.
Xof moves his body slightly, making Zohr miss. He uses one of his Bone Rush swords to bash Zohr in the back.
"Aura Sphere!", exclaims Mangle.
Xof fires a wicked Aura Sphere at Zohr.
"Counter with Shadow Ball!", exclaims Mancer.
Zohr grunts, tossing a Shadow Ball at Xofs Aura Sphere, meeting it in the middle and making them explode.
Zohr and Xof start slowly falling.
Xof appears beyond the smoke cloud, glaring through Zohr.
"Now! Power-Up Punch!", exclaims Mangle.
Xof exclaims as he swings at Zohr with all his might.
"Dodge it, Zohr! Get outta there!", exclaims Mancer.
Zohr ducks the attempt, feeling the force of the punch. "*Woah... He's gotten stronger since last we battled.*"
Shadow and Rouge cover themselves from the force of Xofs Power-Up Punch.
"Damn...", says Shadow.
"You and me, both.", replies Rouge.
"Dark Pulse!", exclaims Mancer.
Zohr lets loose his Dark Pulse move, hitting Xof in the head.
The wind turbines disappear, allowing Zohr and Xof to return to the ground.
Zohr lands next to Mancer, returning to the field.
Xof crash lands into the ground, creating a small crater. He kips up, leaning over and lowly growling.
"Alright, Xof!", says Mangle. "Use Dig!"
Xof does nothing.
"Xof?"
"Why isn't Xof obeyin', babe?", asks Mancer.
"Beats me. Xof. Are you alright?"
Xof disappears for a moment.
"What the hell?!"
"Where'd Xof go?!", asks Rouge.
"I don't know!", replies Shadow. "Mancer!"
"I got a lock on 'im!", replies Mancer. "He's runnin' all over the place! ... Oh, shit. Zohr, look out!"
Xof appears from outta knowhere, decking Zohr in the jaw and sending him careening into the wall.
"Xof! What the fuck is your problem?!", asks Kerosene.
Xof growls at Kerosene, showing only white in his eyes.
Sunshine and Kerosene step back, scared to see Xof this way.
Xof disappears again, only to be found punching Zohr in the gut.
Zohr spits up saliva from the gut check, clearly hurt from Xofs strikes.
Xof continues the onslaught on Zohr, ending the fight with a Power-Up Punch to Zohrs jaw, knocking him out.
The ref runs up to Zohr, seeing him knocked out. "Zohr is unable to battle! Mancer is out of usable Pokémon, making Xof, Rift, Maxine, and Mangle the winners!"
The crowd erupts in cheers.
"There you have it, ladies and gentleman!", exclaims Rouge. "An epic conclusion to an epic battle! Mangle takes her first win against her husband in a 3-2 battle!"
"I must admit, I am very impressed and very surprised by this outcome.", replies Shadow. "I never would've fathomed the day that my sister-in-law would defeat my brother. Congratulations, Mangle. You persevered through the punches and won your first battle against Mancer."
Mangle embraces Maxine, celebrating the win with her and Rift.
Xof roars in anger, letting the aura flow wildly in the stage.
A Delphox and a Midnight Form Lycanroc jump from stands, running to Xof and Zohr.
Xof turns at the two Pokémon, glaring through the Lycanroc first. He then glares at the Delphox, seeing who she is and starts shaking his head. He shakes it so much, that he falls on the ground, fainting.
"Xof!", exclaims the echoing voice of Mancer, running up to his Pokémon.
The Delphox runs up to Xof, kneeling beside him. She sees Mancer kneel on the other side. "Is he gonna be okay, Mancer?"
"I don't know, Katrina. Maybe. Helena. Come on, let's go check on Zohr."
The Midnight Form Lycanroc nods, following Mancer to Zohr.
Hours later, Xof wakes up in a Poké-Center. He groans and grabs his head, looking around. "Ow-a... My fucking head..." He sits up.
"Serves you right, little brother.", replies Zohr, being taped up.
"Huh...?" He looks to Zohr, groaning and grabbing at his right eye. "What the fuck happened, man...? My head feels like it's in a fucking vice..."
"You went absolutely nuts after I used Dark Pulse. What the hell happened, Xof? Why did you attack me, like that?"
"What're you talking about, Zohr...?" He groans more.
"Hmph! Typical... Just like you to forget a memorable battle like that. Grow up, Xof!" He grunts, grabbing his side. "When're you gonna realize that this is the reason why people and Pokémon don't like hanging around you?"
"I have a loving wife, an awesome brother, a cool sis-in-law, and an over-powered Trainer... What more could I fucking ask for?"
"Mouth, Xof. Enough with the cussing."
"Whatever..." He lays back down, covering his eyes. "Hey, nurse?"
The nurse turns to Xof. "Yes, Xof?"
"What exactly happened when I got hit with Dark Pulse? Specifically, where'd I get hit?"
"In the head, I believe."
"That's why I went ape-shit, Zohr."
"What?", asks Maxine, laying across from Zohr. "Getting hit in the head by a Dark-type move can make you go uncivil? Since when?"
"Since I can remember, Maxine... And it's not just Dark-type moves in general, it's any move that's not effective toward me: Dark-type, Rock-type, Bug-type, Lightning-type, Poison-type, Normal-type, Grass-type, Ice-type, Ghost-type, Dragon-type, and Steel-type. It doesn't matter what uneffective move I get hit by, it'll always fuck me up, if I get hit in the head.
"Shit, I still remember the first time I went ape-shit after being hit by Rocky's Rock Slide. I almost killed her just by using the fighting techniques that I saw Mancer use, while still a Riolu. At least, that's what I've heard. I can never remember a damn thing that happens when I go ape-shit."
"Xof, one more time with that mouth of yours, and I'm using Fire Fang on your ear.", threatens Zohr.
"My Special Ability negates that."
"Only in battle, you ignoramous. *God... Xof really needs to grow up.*"
"How bad does it hurt?"
"The beating I took from you? Like hell. Like Rocky, you nearly killed me."
"Sorry, bro. You gotta be careful, though. Don't aim for my head, next time, alright?"
"Theh! I'll be sure of that."
Mancer and Mangle walk into the wardroom.
"'Sup, y'all.", says Mancer, leaning on Maxines bed and petting her. "How're ya holdin' up, Zohr?"
"Like hell. Xof nearly killed me, out there."
"I remember hearing the same thing about Rocky.", replies Mangle.
"Yea'. That was pretty rough for my Graveler, at the time.", replies Mancer. "What about you, Xof? Still don't remember nothin'?"
"Naw, man.", replies Xof, chuckling. "I don't remember a motherfucking thing."
"Jesus...!", exclaims Kerosene. "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?!"
"Why the hell are you always vulgar, Xof?", asks Maxine.
"Is that not part of my nature?", asks Xof.
Mancer chuckles. "Hell, no."
A Mobian Kingdom guard comes into the wardroom. She whispers in Mancers ear.
"Who's all on it?"
"Sonic, Silver, and Knuckles, sir."
"Tell Shadow to meet me at the coordinates." He takes his leave.
"And off he goes to save the day.", playfully says Xof.
Zohr chuckles.
