POKÉMON BATTLE: IN SESSION_
VS 
ADD:\ player.cde < viewing only >
ENTER ?_
[ if you've decided to enter this particular ViViD session, you'll be greeted to a simulation of a large, elaborate stadium. there are plenty of cheering spectators filling the seats - some NPCs, and some that you might recognize as your fellow colonists. the one thing that's uniting you all right now is the reason that you're here, and that's to watch some intense competition.
as you look down from your seat, you'll see a battlefield in the middle of the stadium illuminated by bright lights. a closer look will reveal that there are two people standing on either side of the field. on one side, there is a young girl with a ruby red bandanna that looks excited and raring to begin. on the other, there is a silver-haired man in a sharp-looking suit with a calm exterior, but with a look in his eyes that's no doubt anticipating the competition to come.
raised above each side of the arena are large screens that are ready to play the action live for people who can't see things too close. but no matter how you're watching, it's hard to not get swept up in the excitement of what's about to transpire. ]

[ there isn't much hesitation after that. he'll explain the full scope of what just happened to sapphire later - for now, they have a battle to finish. like he had suggested, it was far easier to show her what mega evolution was capable of through action. ]
Flash Cannon!
[ the shining, silver beam that charges between mega metagross' four arms pulses with building energy. it looks to be far more powerful than an average flash cannon, and that proves itself to be true when it's released a short few seconds after. it pulses forth towards blaziken with speed and overwhelming power - it won't be easy to avoid something like that. ]
no subject
She notices quickly that that Flash Cannon isn't ordinary. ]
Chic! Ya gotta dodge it!
[ But it's being released before Blaziken can really ready itself to do so, and thanks to its increased speed, it hits far sooner than expected. Her Blaziken manages to avoid a full-on hit, but it still hits nonetheless, taking some of Blaziken's HP (and special defense) with it.
But she doesn't have time to let this thing attack again, so her command is fast. ]
Blaze Kick!
[ A fire-type move is best here, considering its typing, and maybe her Blaziken is still faster than it. So it recovers from the attack and leaps over Metagross to get around to its back side so that it can hopefully land its Blaze Kick. Thanks to the Pokedex, she knows it's bad to get under a Metagross, so traveling above it is the better idea (and being behind it), even if it now seems to be more versatile in how it moves. ]
no subject
that's not to say that he'll let up, though. one blaziken has landed, metagross will face it once again. ]
Surround it with Double Team, then Meteor Mash.
[ Metagross will focus once again, this time to create illusionary copies of itself to create a ring around blaziken. it's meant to make it panic for a few moments, and that's all that steven needs.
once the position is confirmed, each copy of metagross obeys the command - their four large, front-facing legs tuck together then they begin to spin their bodies, almost like a drill. a powerful aura surrounds each copy, but they'll all fade away as they get closer, revealing the true metagross' location. by then it's too late - the meteor mash has already slammedd blaziken into the air.
it's a powerful impact; when the fire-type lands, that might mark the end of the match. ]
no subject
Her Blaziken is knocked hard by that attack, losing nearly all of its HP, as it flies through the air and comes crashing down on the ground a little ways away. It takes a few moments, but soon enough, its Blaze ability activates. The flames on its wrists flare up — twice as big as they are normally — and it seems as though it's got a sudden burst of power as it makes its way back onto its feet.
Sapphire looks proud, still determined. ]
Show 'em what ya got, Chic!
[ And with that, it moves quickly into a Double Team to surround Metagross, before firing a Flamethrower in Metagross' direction — one that's much more powerful than the one it used earlier in the battle, and it seems as though it's coming from a dozen Blaziken at once.
Her Blaziken can play at this game, too. And it knows it has little chance of doing damage if it doesn't overwhelm it. It's a last-ditch effort to give it everything it's got. ]
no subject
the blazing inferno of the fire hits metagross head-on, but it doesn't seem to phase it too much, despite the super-effective hit. still, steven won't let it linger for longer than a second or two. ]
Deflect the flames with Protect!
[ an intense energy surrounds metagross like a shield, pushing the fire away until it's nothing but embers that disintegrate the double team copies that blaziken has created. once the real one has been singled out, metagross will rise into the air. ]
This is the end! Hyper Beam!
[ from the point of convergence of mega metagross' four arms, a strong, dark purple beam of energy begins to form. after only a moment's time to charge, it fires - hyper beam is normally a frighteningly powerful move, but this one seems to be amplified to an even greater level. it's a direct hit on blaziken, causing an explosion in its wake.
when the smoke and dust clears, blazkien is on the ground in a small crater, knocked out. ]
