...
(Hoshi eyes those face-down cards carefully)
You thinking what I'm thinking, Grayson?
(nods)
Kay, then. One more time, Dragon Claw!!
(once again, the Charizard charges forward, but this time with two energy claws and towards the Big Shield Gardna)
(however, at the last second... Grayson jukes to the left, aiming to make a landing behind Yugi)
(.....is he actually, legitimately, trying to feint the Big Shield Gardna)
—!
—!
(luckily, Grayson's reflexes are good enough that he doesn't accidentally attack his Trainer - instead, he dispels his claws at the last second and picks Hoshi up)
Whew... okay, now that's a scary trick. Grayson, return.
(hopping out of his Pokémon's arms, Hoshi recalls his Charizard back into his Poké Ball)
(clipping it back onto his belt, he then removes another one and tosses it)
Come on out, Jajvert!!
(from the ball emerges... (what on earth IS this thing
◊)
(whatever it is, it's making itself comfortable in a defensive position right in front of Hoshi)
Heh - you playing dirty? I can play dirty, too.
(despite this trash talk, Hoshi is clearly having fun)
(he pushes up his aviators and POINTS again)
Stealth Rock!!
(Jajvert's spikes retract into its body, revealing a bunch of holes - holes which shoot out a lllllot of pointy stones that are now floating in the air around Yugi and his monsters)
"I summon Alpha, The Magnet Warrior!"
-An oddly-mechanical sword-wielding monster appears, only this time the Stealth Rocks' assault doesn't seem to bother it much-
"I reasoned that these rocks must have some kind of weakness, no trap is infallible. So I tried fighting fire with fire...or, in this case, rock with rock."
"Go, Shift! Now, the target of your attack is switched to...Obnoxious Celtic Guardian!"
-As Yugi's trap flips up, the Power Whip is suddenly redirected to OCG, who much like before remains standing-
"...Hoshi. Before we continue, I must ask you. You said you wanted to see if I could handle myself, and that you wanted proof of how capable I was. Are you certain you want to see the full extent of that?"
"Very well. In that case, I first activate Card of Sanctity, allowing me to draw until I have six cards in my hand. Now, I sacrifice my Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, my Big Shield Gardna and Alpha the Magnet Warrior..."
-Yugi removes the cards from the disk and plays another one, this time a unique-looking red card that creates an ominous spark of energy-
"To summon Sky Dragon of Osiris
!"
-The heavens split open as an enormous blood-red, two-mouthed dragon descends, its colossal, serpentine body circling around the room and even parts of the forest like a monstrous constrictor snake-
"Behold, the power of an Egyptian God!"

...
(it's quite easy to tell that Hoshi's eyes are bugging out under his aviators)
...Kay, then. That's big.
(exhales)
...On the other hand, they bigger they are... the more they suffer from Thunder Wave!!
(Hoshi POINTS dramatically towards Osiris's head, and Jajvert fires off an electromagnetic wave towards the Egyptian God)
(if it makes contact, Osiris is gonna find itself paralyzed, its nerves slowed down and sometimes not even responding - or, at least, it should against a normal foe)

-If Osiris even noticed that attack, all it did was annoy it-
"Hmph. That would work on most of my monsters, but Osiris is no ordinary monster. The abilities of normal creatures have no effect on it. Osiris, however...attack, with Thunder Force!"
-Osiris's first mouth charges for a brief second before firing a terrifyingly huge blast of lightning at Jajvert-
-The scariest part is that it's clearly still holding back to avoid murdering the poor thing, presumably because of Yugi-
(FWOOOOOOOOOOSH)
Gaack—!
(Hoshi gets blown back by the shockwave of the blast, though he shakily gets up, having been super-lucky not to get any injuries from that)
(when the smoke clears, though, Jajvert... is still standing, but it doesn't look in very good shape at all)
(seems that the combination of his Electric-type resistance as well as Yugi holding back left it still standing - just with like the equivalent of two HP)
Haah... haah...
(without a word, probably from still attempting to catch his breath, Hoshi recalls Jajvert)
Haah... haah... okay. You've got a good wallbreaker, I'll give you that.
(he returns Jajvert's Ball to his belt, and then pulls out another one)
...Then let's see how it goes against my ace. We won't hold back either. Grayson, I choose you!
(with his left hand he tosses the Poké Ball into the air, and his Charizard appears in a flash of brilliant blue-and-white light, landing by Hoshi's side)

"That's definitely the largest shield that I have seen, but is it practical?"
Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark.
