Tower of Mastery

"Ok, let's start this with a bang! Aura Sphere!" commanded Korrina.

Her Lucario starts charging an Aura Sphere, Duke does the same. Notably, the attack was much larger and looked more powerful than the ones Duke used normally. They both fire the spheres at pretty much the exact same time, the spheres collide and produce a pretty big explosion as result.

"Wow." said Lyuri, covering her eyes.

"Niiice!" said Korrina, similarly covering her eyes.

"Swords Dance and Close Combat!" yelled Lyuri

Duke pretty much gets in a good position then dashes at the other Lucario through the smoke and quickly punish him with many punches, finishing with a powerful one that sends him against the fence right next to Korrina

"<W-Wow... I feel so much stronger and faster...!>" said Duke, very impressed with himself.

"Lucario? You ok?" asked Korrina, rather nervous "Come on... Get up!"

"I guess not even Mega Lucario manages to have good enough defensive capabilities." said Lyuri, with a smirk.

To Lyuri's surprise, Korrina's Lucario actually stands up, though he seemed badly beaten up as expected.

"You'd be surprised with how far you can go with enough determination. I think that blow would be enough to take a lot of things out in one shot. But I guess Lucario doesn't want to make him or me look bad, so don't think you've won yet! Drain Punch." said Korrina, with a confident smile.

All of sudden the Lucario gets a burst of speed and dashes at Duke, who's caught off-guard and takes the full hit, having some of his energy drained from him in the process.

"Duke? You all right?" asked Lyuri, wincing

"<I'm... Not so bad. I guess you're right about us not getting much better defensively.>" said Duke, looking rather pained.

"Well then, guess this won't be as easy as I thought. Bulk Up! Keep focus!"

Duke then tenses his muscles a bit to bulk up while at the same time he tries to relax.

"I don't think that's going to help you take another hit! Close Combat!" said Korrina.

"Force Palm!"

As Korrina's Lucario attempted to hit Duke again, he quickly dodged the first blow and struck back with a Force Palm right on the opponent's face, the strenght of the move knocking it back and also making it faint.

"... I guess a second hit was too much." said Korrina, sighing, she then smiles at Lyuri "Good job! You and your Lucario are a great team! I wonder if it's your bond that is that strong or if it's just him that's naturally powerful."

"I'd say both." said Lyuri, with a smile.

Duke then starts reverting back to his normal form as Korrina recalls her Lucario, who also had gone back to normal.

"I'm sure you two can go far, as far as you want to! I fully expect you and your sister to make quite the show when battling the other gyms, if you can beat my Lucario twice, then you surely can beat the others!" said Korrina, with a smile.

"Thanks, I'm not gonna stop anytime soon!" said Lyuri, also smiling

"Right! And I gotta go back to the gym, later!"

Korrina then dashes off, leaving Lyuri and Duke alone

"So? Enjoyed your little power trip?" asked Lyuri

"<Definitely. It felt really good.>" said Duke, smiling

"Great. A shame I won't be using you much for my gym challenge, but I guess if I went around with a Mega Lucario people would start getting mad at me." joked Lyuri, with a shrug

"<It's fine. I probably shouldn't use that much power too often myself>" said Duke, chuckling

"Right. So let's go to the next city before Sakura starts phoning me. We also gotta get your armband back."

Lyuri then recalls Duke and starts heading out of the tower.

-A certain young man, dressed in knightly liveries, is... apparently having a staring contest with his Barbaracle?-

Doradan: You won't beat me this time, Nautilus.

Nautilus: <Peer into the darkness.>

-Someone could easily happen upon them, throwing off the teetering balance of power between the two contestants.-

Nautilus: <Do you hear them calling?>

-Doradan blinks, letting out a groan after he realizes what he just did.-

Doradan: Agh, dang it! Do you ever, ever blink, Nautilus?

-Nautilus shakes his head. The Barbaracle then points toward Nico and Mozilla.-

Doradan: Huh?

-The knight-errant looks over.-

Doradan: Oh, greetings! I am Doradan, knight of the Donnell-Morton family! May I ask your name in return?

Coumarine City

Jacob: -Is around here somewhere, talking with Regina and Argentum-

".... so as soon as I get another Pokémon I may be relying on you for the final member of my team. I need to be able to tell what you can do."

Regina: <A-Alright...>

Jacob: "... Argentum, analyze. How much damage still remains from the Shadowing process?"

Argentum: <Analyzing. ... Complete. Results: 100 percent of all the internal and external damage caused by constant over exertion and power output remain. This has resulted in a drop in efficiency of combat capability by over a thousand percent from combat efficiency prior to the shadowing process and a drop in combat efficiency pre-purification of nearly three hundred thousand percent. I can determine no way to reverse the damage or reduce it.>

Regina: <I can still...>

Jacob: "Fight? Yes. Yes you can. I just... I'm not willing to lose you over a battle. So if you feel like you're pushing yourself, or I'm pushing you, just... stop. If at any point you need to drop out, there's no shame in losing. The best trainer isn't the one who never loses. In fact knowing how to fail is a life skill everyone needs. I've learned that much. So.. just do what you can. Speaking of... what can you do now?"

Regina: <... Huh. You know I haven't thought about that... let's see....> -She focuses, then in a burst of energy the area around her becomes veiled in a mystic feeling mist that hangs close to the ground-

Jacob: "... What was that?"

Regina: <... I... I don't know.>

Argentum: <Analyzing. Complete. Utilizing Fairy energy a field of mist was just created. Pokémon within it cannot be afflicted with debilitating conditions, as such it affects the enemy and user alike. However it does not affect those not currently in it. As such flying types and levitating enemies are not protected by it. It also sharply reduces the power of Dragon type attacks.>

Jacob: "Outside of battles where there are multiple mons on the field, I don't see that secondary affect helping... Well at least not right now. So it only affects those in the mist?"

Argentum: <Affirmative.>

Regina: <You've already thought of ways to use this, haven't you?>

Jacob: "I am going to have looooots of fun with this."

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

-As he usually does when he has a lot on his mind, Herbert is currently sitting on the edge of one of the town's many cliffs, staring off into the middle distance and generally looking rather mopey. It's entirely possible that he may be noticed, though he likely wouldn't notice anyone in return unless they happened to tap him on the shoulder or something.-

-Herbert jumps slightly as Duke taps him on the shoulder, then gives a small sigh.-

Herbert: Huh? Oh, um... not really. Well, okay, that's actually a lie. There is something that's kind of been bothering me, but... I'm not sure you'd be able to help.
