A confident smile gracing his features, Lance strolled towards the trainer’s area with an equally confident stride in his step. The second time today he bathed in the cheers of the crowd, it seemed his victory earlier today had won him the hearts of the fans as well, the sound of his name being chanted bringing a feeling of nostalgia to the former champion.

Normally he would take the time to appease the call of the crowd and give them a wave or autograph but not today, not now with the opponent he was facing. Feeling the excitement already begin to bubble within his veins, the growing anticipation to face a worthy opponent causing him to become slightly restless. To think he would face an ally of old in this tournament and so soon as well. Gold was a name well known to many on Johto and even to the Dragon Master. A rising star during his teenaged years, the boy had matured into an iconic and aspiring member of Nox. A powerful trainer in his own right, Lance wondered just how much his friend had grown over the years. Would he finally have what it took to give the Blackthorn prodigy the bitter taste of defeat? Lance could only wonder, but he would not make it easy that was for sure.

Removing a pokeball from his belt, the passing flash of red signalled the arrival of Luna, the Altaria flapping her cloud-like wings as she hovered in the air in front of Lance. Flying towards the center of the ring, the flying dragon sang excitedly as she and her trainer awaited the arrival of their opponent.

The surrounding crowd hollered with a deafening roar, inaudible in terms of words but speaking crystal clear with their actions and volume. While he would have liked to claim the cheers (and in the process, the spotlight) all to himself, Gold knew that this was the one time that such an assumption couldn't be farther away from the truth - even though 'dragon master' Lance was champion of Johto, his fame was widespread and widely accepted, even in choosing to side with Nox. To think that he was being given a chance to battle the man after so many years might as well just have been another dream. But he'd stopped believing in dreams a long time ago. This was reality. In his hometown, his name was widely known across the region - in Johto, he was the king. Unova, on the other hand, knew nothing of the trainer known as Gold Harberlein, and it was time to change that for the better. From his previous triumph he'd gained the support of the crowd, swayed them to his side momentarily but with a famous, champion ranked opponent, he reckoned that this time, he'd struck short. As he stared at the man on the other side of the arena it was easy to see that, even without a single pokemon beside him, the champion's strength had only grown since their clash those years past. The question at hand, however, wasn't of the champion's strength but rather, his own. Had he finally put forth enough training to strike Lance down? Light flashed from the opposite end, dying his vision in a dark, crimson hue for a few precious moments before the blue and white avian burst forth, the trill of a song bubbling in its throat. His pokeball sprang from his hand a second later, the thin, jagged line bursting apart in a brilliant shard of colors. "Shade." Gold smiled, scratching the onyx fox behind the ears for a split second, watching its yellow eyes flash with the anticipation of it all. "Are you ready?" He asked, knowing the answer even before the curt, upwards flick of its head and the purr of bree! that emitted from the depths of Shade's throat. "Right." His smile whittled its way down to a smirk as his brain began to kick itself into gear. "Screech, then follow up with quick attack. Hit 'em fast and hit 'em where it counts, okay?" No sooner had the last syllable left his lips did the umbreon's head curve back, hind legs digging into the ground below as Shade reared up and howled up at the sun, snapping his head front and center so that the full force of the sound waves were directed at the Altaria. The grating noise bounced off the walls of the arena, sending the battlefield into a maze of sound and the crowd surrounding into a frenzy. Shade lowered his head, yellow eyes flashing before disappearing into a blur, paws pounding upon the sandy soil as he feigned a blow up front, curving a sharp right at the last minute as to catch the Altaria unawares. Gold watched it all, anticipation gleaming in his eyes as he awaited the retaliation. Lance wasn't going to go easy on him, so he was going all out from the very start.[/style][/style]

Hand coming to rest of his waist, a small smile graced Lance’s features as he watched his chosen opponent’s entrance. Whether it had been a stroke of luck or the secret mechanism of fate pulling them together for this battle today, he was extremely grateful to whatever higher power or hidden force that allowed him to test himself against Gold at this moment. And a difficult test it would be.

With the flash of red reflecting in Lance’s eyes as an Umbreon appeared in the ring. His smile dropped to a knowing smirk, he would not allow the dark pokemon to gain the first move. Luna already sensing her trainer’s intent and anticipation she began rising slowly into the air. ”Prepare to use Mirror Move once the opponent attacks.” Speaking in a voice so that only Luna heard him, the flying pokemon nodded with understanding as she readied herself.

Then it began.

The sound of grating noise flooding the entire arena, the ruckus of noise causing havoc in the ground. His hands overs his ears in an attempt to block out the painful sound, Lance watched as Luna’s head flinched in pain momentarily as the sound echoed around her, but no sooner had the noise hit her that she leaned forward with her head and howled in the direction of the oncoming Umbreon, the sound waves pouring forth from her throat with full force towards the dark pokemon. Moans and complaints erupted from the crowd as the grating noise enveloped them once again, seemingly merging with the previous sound and amplifying it before silence.

”Incoming, move back with a Heat wave!”

Managing to hear Lance’s words despite the ringing in her ears, Luna’s wings flapped with hidden power, pushing the blue pokemon backwards as Shade leapt upwards towards it. Beating her wings furiously as it whipped the air about it forward, the Umbreon would be met with superheated wind as it speared through the air at Luna. Still despite her swift reactions they were not quick to move completely out of the way as the black pokemon collided into her, sending the delicate-looking pokemon to barrel through the air.

Twisting abruptly and with a few powerful thrusts of its white wings, Luna corrected herself mid-air and rose back into the sky, her head cocking back as it glared at the fluffy darkness that collided with her. Not wasting a breath, his arm sweeping across his form that sent his cape into a flurry of movement, Lance’s crimson eyes danced with life as his next command escaped his lips.

”Dragon Pulse.”

A shrill cry piercing the arena, the air began to tremble as blue, mystic energy swirled and collected at the mouth of Luna, the energy forming into a dense sphere of power. Snapping her head forward, the blue sphere fell with devastating speed and cruel intentions towards the Umbreon.

Your move Gold.

Gold tugged at his ear, the the loud squawking noise ironic to come from such a refined creature still ringing in them and causing the audience's cheers to blur, if only for a second. "Better brace up." He cautioned Shade, a knowing glance at Lance as the umbreon's form appeared beside him in a flash of black and yellow. "'s gonna get hot in here soon." Glowing blue light bathed the stadium in its harsh glow as the cotton-down feathers of the dual-type expanded across the sky, unleashing malice in the form of hungry flames towards the dark fox on land. Gold stood there, not making a move - it was not a wise decision to dodge, as tempting as it might seem. Instead, he murmured something to Shade and nodded as the gale first blew forth, thin, yellow flames dancing across the sky and singing small red scars into Shade's hide, the thin, reedy sound of sharp teeth grinding together the only sound in the center of the storm. The trainer waited, biding his time as the blue sphere of energy gathered wind in the sky, looming like the hammer of arceus ready to release judgement. "Now!" He commanded as the searing energy left the avian's beak, his eyes focused on it as it covered the sun. "Quick attack to the side, then Sucker Punch!" A pause as he leaned down close to the pokemon's ear. "Add a little kick to it, alright?" He muttered out of the corner of his mouth, a small smirk tugging at his lips as Shade gave a small nod. The umbreon's hind legs dug so hard into the ground that it left small gouge marks there, implanted heavily. Back arched as Shade dug his paws into the ground, yellow eyes gleaming as it kicked off, skidding past the compressed energy with only a singed tail to show as a souvenir consequential of a second's hesitation. Hardly pausing for a beat the fox then proceeded to kick upwards, leaping on bursts of air as a force of a jet stream propelled it forward into the walls of the stadium then continued to travel upwards, giving the force needed to reach the mystic being hovering in the sky. Shade's eyes narrowed, utilizing powerful hind legs coupled with the force of quick attack to leap above and behind its foe, twisting a three-sixty degree angle in the air until it was facing a back of a cloud of white. The sun gleamed, reflecting off the scars and illuminated Shade like a trophy as paws glowed an ominous shade of purple, pounding down upon the opponent with the intention of a truly venomous blow.
