Metagross slightly distracted by the explosions heard Scion yelling to watch out. It took a moment for it to realize the surge of fire racing towards him. As the fire rushed on it, it heard Scion yelling for Hyper Beam. Metagross raised its arm as it was engulfed in heat. It lowered its arm and let loose a wild beam of energy that ripped through the intense heat. Then Metagross clawed at the burnt ground as in began to regain its lost energy.
Gypsy cleared the Rhyperior with ease, and as he flew through the air he heard his trainer telling him to attack with Ice Fang. He landed whipping around as fast as he could, and then raced for the bemused Rhyperior. Rhyperior turned around in time only to be bitten on the shoulder. Gypsy hit then darted back, as ice erupted from Rhyperior's shoulder. Rhyperior growled in agony as the ice exploded off him.
Rhyperior was mad. The Drill Pokémon locked its eyes on the Luxray. He swung his arms rapidly, furiously trying to down Gypsy. The Luxray dodged with ease as heavy arms came at him. Rhyperior, going into more of a rage, was able to graze the electric cat's body. Gypsy landed poorly because of this, and hardly regained his footing.
"Rhyperior, crush him with Hammer Arm!" James shouted.
The Ground-Rock Pokémon clearly obliged. Rhyperior's arm began to glow as he thrust its arms at the off balance Luxray. He could see the fear in Luxray's eyes. His arms scored a direct hit causing an explosion of dirt and rock.
The Luxray was lying in a small crater lying on its side trying to get up. The Rhyperior stood over him as the Luxray collapsed again and fell unconscious. Then he was hit with a wave of heat he did not expect. The heat tore away the dust cloud surrounding Rhyperior and the downed Gypsy. He turned to see the Flareon through the heat and began to charge at it.
"Gypsy is unable to battle, return your Pokémon to its Pokéball then send out another Pokémon," Bradley said when he saw the dust clear around the Luxray. Bradley then saw a beam of energy split the fire; with quick thinking he sent out Scizor to intercept the beam before it caused any damage. Bradley's Scizor quickly shot into the air as he told her to use X-Scissor. Scizor was able to overtake the beam as her steel pincers began to glow with power. She spun around slashing the mighty beam stopping it with an explosion of power. Bradley nodded gratefully as he called her back to the ground. "You're on damage control," He said to her. She nodded confirming his request.
Daniel stood for a moment in shock as he saw Gypsy defeated on the ground but that wasn't going to stop him from winning this battle. He lifted up Gypsy's Pokéball sending the red beam to collect his injured Pokémon. He looked at his other Pokéballs, knowing he had to choose fast or else Maya would be in trouble. He threw his next Pokéball into the air, is burst open as the white energy took a familiar form. The Swampert materialized ready for battle.
"Blitz, use Ice Punch on that Rhyperior!" Daniel shouted
The Swampert raced towards Rhyperior, water already starting to freeze as he dragged his hand close to the ground. The Swampert moved faster than most catching the Rhyperior off guard as it appeared before it. The Water-Ground Pokémon's arm went fast into the gut of Rhyperior. Ice exploded from his fist engulfing all but Rhyperior's extremities. Blitz pulled back his arm after he delivered the blow know that the other Pokémon was finished after that attack.
Blitz turned his attention to the Metagross who was locked in combat with Boris. He charged at the combat preparing to overwhelm the Pokémon.
"Flame Charge," Maya shouted.
Boris, taking advantage of the recharging Metagross, ignited himself and sprinted for Metagross. He reached the Steel type with fire propelling him. The Flareon planted his feet before he sent himself up into the Metagross. Metagross stood its ground as Boris landed his blow. The Fire type jumped back as his flames raced across the Metagross. The Metagross launched its arm through the fire aiming directly at the Flareon. Boris was barely managed to dodge the thrust. He jumped out of the way as Metagross's arm smashed the ground where Boris stood.
Rhyperior sat there with his head hanging from the ice. His arms were partially frozen, outstretched as if still taking the blow to the gut. He was defeated, unconscious and unable to move.
Unable to stop it, James watched as his Rhyperior was taken down. He quickly recovered himself and returned his Pokémon to its Pokéball. James thanked Rhyperior before putting him back in his bag. Then he drew another Pokéball tossing it out in front of him. The ball discharged streams of energy as a Grovyle materialized.
Metagross was visibly weak now. It was barely able to keep itself standing. The Metagross panted after it made the desperate attempt to hit Flareon through the fire. Its arm was now very burned and Metagross could not put weight on it. Metagross was close to collapsing when it heard the command to use magnet rise. It willingly pulled its arms in as it began to float above the ground. It saw the Flareon waiting in front of it for a command. The Steel type was not going to let the Fire type hurt him anymore. It skimmed the ground as it charged at Boris. Before it made contact with Boris, it heard a trainer tell a Pokémon to use Brick Break. Metagross found this strange because he never knew a Flareon to use Brick Break. Then it hit the Metagross. Flareon can't learn Brick Break!
"Watch out!" Scion shouted as he saw Blitz in the air.
Swampert came crashing down from above Metagross. His arm swung down causing an explosion of rock that obscured all visibility.
