Somewhere hidden within the outskirts of Lumiose City, inside a decrepit and seemingly abandoned warehouse is where Engano resided for the time being. Little light intruded the facility, and the Representative of Destruction sat atop a personally-made throne. With one leg over the other and his head simply resting on his fist, he would appear bored, but quite the contrary, he was very amused at the moment. A subordinate of his, a young woman, marched up towards him as per his demand. The woman spoke up, "Yes, sir?"
Engano raised his voice, having not spoken for a period of time caused his voice to possess a slight rasp to it but his charisma remained. "They're coming, I can feel it… I want all of you to go to the emergency bunker." He ordered, "And don't forget to take HIM with you, they are coming for him after all." Engano looked out down towards the front of his throne, his foot firmly placed on a weakened and frail Daniel Barsony. A boy with no sense of who or what he was, trembling in front of the man before him. He did not speak, he did not make a sound, only his visible trembling did the talking for him. The floor was cold, filthy, and unforgiving. The teen shivered, his body couldn't handle the pain but he lost his ability to speak because he was too afraid to, he hadn't the slightest idea what to say anymore or how to communicate.
"At once, sir." the woman left Engano's view and faded into the darkness once more. He was left alone with his former enemy, now slave. He removed his foot and leaned forward to get a closer look at the teen. Engano forcefully grabbed the boy's face so they faced one another. The Representative mocked, "Look at you, such a frail and weak looking child. Hard to believe you're supposed to be my equal, Ha! Don't make me laugh." He received no response, the teen looked at the man with empty and nearly soulless eyes. "Lost your will to fight back? Or maybe he's dead? It doesn't make a difference to me." Daniel blinked as a response, showing whatever consciousness he had remaining.
"Oh how I could've killed you a hundred times over already, but I chose to do things the hard way and make you suffer. And yet, nothing I've done has come close to the pain and suffering you've caused me Daniel Barsony… YOU WORTHLESS BASTARD!" He chucked the teen aside with relative ease, the ladder collapsing across the floor like a lifeless ragdoll. "Pathetic, not even worth my time. Giratina better be right about this, and we can turn this shell of a being into a Destroyer once more."
Daniel turned his head to look at the man, deep down, despite the obvious reasons, he had a deep-rooted anger towards his abuser for reasons he couldn't pinpoint. Memories locked away and unable to be accessed, forced to live under the watchful eye of amnesia with no control over the events of his life.
Engano stopped observing the weakling and gazed off into the darkness, allowing his mind to wander and daydream as he awaited the incoming encounter. "And now we wait…"
It wasn't long before he was discovered, or rather, allowed himself to be discovered. A burst of light beamed into the room as the doors for the building were blown down. "This is the police!" Several officers stormed the building along with their respective partners. The Representative of Destruction did not budge, remaining in place with his muscles relaxed and awaiting to play a game of theatrics with his new prey.
The officers were treated to an ominous silence, they turned on their flashlights and whipped around repeatedly, weapons trained in front of them and ready for action. They conversed amongst themselves, debating whether everyone left already or they went to the wrong site. The opportunity was ripe for the taking, as Engano stepped out of his throne approaching the officers with deliberate yet loud footsteps. The hollowed building echoed the sound of his footsteps, announcing his presence to everyone there. Without hesitation, the officers simultaneously aimed their weapons towards the origin of the sound. Engano, who was obscured in complete darkness, continued forward.
"Stop right there! We have you surrounded!" An officer threatened, readjusting his handle on his pistol to have a more firm grip. The approaching destroyer didn't listen, as his figure became visible to the bunch. The team of law enforcers maneuvered around, getting a better angle of their incoming target. "I said stop right there or we will shoot!". The footsteps halted, the unwelcoming ambience of their environment sent shivers down their spine. Some bit their lip in response and others focused on the task at hand.
A neon purple ball of light illuminated from Engano's palm, revealing the man with his palm raised and a devilish smirk strewn across his face. The officers prepared to fire their guns but Engano was quicker, simply saying, "Too late." As he unleashed a massive ball of energy.
The front half of the building exploded, a powerful gust of wind shook the area as purple-tinted smoke was propelled into the air. Engano bathed in the radiance of the sun, it's warm rays paled in comparison to the scorching flames which now surrounded him. Also dead corpses, but those were the least of his concerns. Engano directed his attention back to the current threat, Police Officers were still alive despite the blast, and more were coming in. Engano muttered to himself, "I think it's time for this city to burn."
Engano prepared for another attack, raising his arm with full intent to strike down his foes. However, he was cut off by a near-instantaneous strike to the face from an unknown source. He only managed a glimpse of his attacker, Bisharp, before being launched into a building by the Pokemon's attack.
All the officers observed in awe at the scene they just witnessed, their attention focused on the Representative of Creation who was engulfed within his shining blue aura. They were in shock of who it was, recognizing the blue aura and the Pokemon, it had to be the new Unbeatable Champion who'd come to their aid. Speaking of champions, Samuel arrived at the scene completely awestruck by the destroyed building and the casualties that had already taken place before he had even arrived. Before he was allowed to ask any questions, Engano shot out of the building and rose into the sky to divert everyone's eyes.
The Destroyer had a trail of blood descending from his lip and was not visibly impressed by Bisharp's stunt. Furrowing his brows and brushing off the blood with his sleeve. Bisharp could feel Engano's presence like a hurricane in a calm sea, he didn't need his eyes to know where the destroyer was. The Pokemon took note of this fact, assessing the man physically and making a mental note to himself that the man was more durable than expected.
One of the officers spoke up, "Hey, if we have both of the Unbeatable Champions here, this is going to be easy!" They pumped their fist into the air as if declaring an early victory. Samuel wasn't sure what to say in that regard as he's had no experience with the man aside from his initial viewing of Engano on Daniel's return and the stories he's heard. Regardless, he was not to be taken lightly and responded, "I wouldn't be so sure if I were you."
"Samuel, get everyone the hell away from this place. It's way too dangerous for you all." Bisharp suggested, maintaining his ground and keeping his eyes locked on his target. Engano began to swoop down to meet the Pokemon head on, the ladder of which simply clenching their fists in anticipation.
"But-"
"Go!"
Bisharp hovered mere centimeters from the ground as he quickly dashed to the side to avoid Engano as he swoops past. The Destroyer whipped around, digging his feet into the ground to halt his momentum and prepared himself as Bisharp charged towards the man at full force. The Creator hurled his fist towards Engano who blocked elegantly and reeling his opponent in for a strike. Bisharp quickly leaned back to avoid an uppercut, seizing the opportunity to kick off of the man and break free from his grip. Bisharp pushed himself off the floor before he landed with his hand, handspring back to his feet as Engano shot his palm out to release an energy blast.
The blast caught the Pokemon off-guard and as a result, was knocked even further back and off-balance. Engano zoomed forward fist first as he attempted to make contact with the creator. Bisharp quickly gathered himself and pulled himself back, moving out of harm's way by a hair. The man was open, and taking a hold of his arm and using his momentum against him, threw him into the ground below as he ascended in the air. Wasting no time, Engano spun around, waving his arm in a large arcing motion as a trail of energy was released in that pattern. The Dark Steel Pokemon backflipped away from danger and landed on the floor, ready for more action as The Destroyer brought himself to his feet.
The officers' heads were baked in sweat as they agreed to evacuate and leave it to Bisharp for the time being to handle the crime lord while they try doing the rest of the job. Samuel joined them, looking back at Bisharp and furrowing his brows, getting a bad feeling about the situation. Not wanting to regret it later, he releases Deoxys from his capsule and describes to his partner the task at hand, "I want you to step in if Bisharp needs help. I'm confident in his abilities but if by some chance, Engano manages to get past him. I want you to be the next line of defense." Deoxys required no words, simply nodding in acknowledgment as he turned his back towards his partner who scurried off with the rest of the officers.
Deoxys stepped out to get a better view of the ensuing chaos, crossing his arms as he kept his eyes on Bisharp. Taking in the fact it has been quite some time since the two had properly interacted or remotely battled. Knowing this, they've both gotten stronger within this last year, and Deoxys intended to win their next bout. So he wanted to use this as an opportunity to gauge the Pokemon and his abilities. "Alright then, Representative of Creation, let's see how much you've improved."
Bisharp spun repeatedly as he ascended in the air, breaking his rotation to fire off separate projectiles towards Engano who jumped away from each attack. Once landing on the floor, he pushed himself off to propel himself towards his opponent. Bisharp caught the Destroyer causing the two to get tangled in the air as they struggled for control. Having the superior fighting reflex, the Pokemon shoved his knee into the man's stomach and used the ladder's staggered reaction as an opportunity to place his iconic spin-kick across Engano's face. Engano was knocked away in the air, a visible bruise where the attack landed.
The Destroyer stabilized himself in the air and charged up his energy into a massive beam that unleashed from his palms. Bisharp simply vanished from his spot and reappeared nearby as the beam zoomed past. Unfortunately, Bisharp wasn't the intended target of the attack as it made direct contact with Prism Tower, incinerating a hole straight through it as the nearby glass shattered from the shockwave created by it. Bisharp realized this far too late and growled as he whipped his head towards his enemy. However, Engano gave him no time for such theatrics and in that moment the Pokemon turned, he was struck towards the city by the man.
Wanting to keep the momentum going, Engano repeatedly closed in on Bisharp and landed several consecutive hits knocking the Creator further into the heart of the city until they were at the dead center near Prism Tower. Engano ascended even higher as he raised his arms above him, building up a massive sphere of destruction and proclaiming to Bisharp, "How about I just destroy this whole city, that sound good?"
Bisharp barked, "You bastard, you wouldn't!"
"Wanna bet?!" Engano tossed the sphere down towards the city, Bisharp went to intercept the sphere and stopped it in place by pushing against it. Bisharp mustered enough strength to merely hold it in place but it's energy was intense and it was a struggle to hold it.
Engano smiled, hovering away as he said his goodbyes to Bisharp, "Well, ima leave you with that. I'm gonna kill all those police officers before they cause me any more grief. Ta-da~!" As Engano began to pick up speed, he stopped dead in his tracks when Deoxys appeared in front of him, arms crossed with his usual cold glare. "Oh great, as if this couldn't be any more annoying."
Deoxys extended his arm out towards Engano as his eyes began to glow a light blue. Engano recognized the move and moved out of the way before scoffing, mocking the Pokemon, "Ha! You missed."
"I wasn't aiming for you, jackass." Deoxys snapped back. Engano looked behind him to see the energy ball being displaced. With the combined strength of Deoxys and Bisharp, they managed to launch the sphere directly into Engano.
"Oh what the-" The sphere made contact with the man, creating a humongous explosion with enough force to shatter every window nearby. Engano was blown far away from the city as the two Pokemon observed. Bisharp hovered next to Deoxys and thanked the psychic, "Thanks for the save."
"You can thank me by kicking his ass."
"That's the plan!" Bisharp reignited his aura as he sped away from Deoxys to continue the fight.
A horde of Engano's men were running through a tunnel, trying to get to safety. It was a dark and sloppily made passage that did the job. Daniel was limp and being dragged across the floor by the others who had little regard for his health. They saw a light up ahead and once they were through, they were in the middle of a forest. What they weren't expecting however, was for the police to have already found them. All of the grunts cursed to themselves as the Police raised their firearms and demanded all of them to raise their hands and turn themselves in.
It took slightly longer for all of the grunts to be dispatched and arrested and through the thick of it all, Samuel discovered his dear brother. He rushed over to his brother, pushing everyone aside as he knelt down and lifted his brother's body up. Now that it was daylight, the extent of Daniel's condition was clear. He was bloodied and bruised all over his body, his clothes were torn and battered. What was the most concerning of them all however, was a swollen up scar near his abdomen that looked as if it never properly healed and was infected. It didn't look like any ordinary injury he's seen before, almost like something went through him. His body was cold and pale, his eyes were lifeless and baggy.
Upon being lifted by his brother, Daniel's expression did not change, his head falling over slightly to look at the man who had picked him up. He didn't recognize the man, just like usual, as he had no recollection of anything or anyone. Samuel nearly burst into tears just looking at his brother's condition and muttered, "My god, Daniel, what did he do to you?!" Samuel waved towards the officers to get their attention and cried out for the ambulance to be called. Everyone heard a sound originate from nearby, they all turned to look as more and more were generated and two flying objects came into view from a distance. Samuel recognized Bisharp immediately, furrowing his brows and thinking to himself, "You have to end this once and for all, Bisharp."
Bisharp offerened to moment to rest for the Destroyer, landing consecutive hit after hit and pushing the man further away from the city. To end the combo, the Pokemon paused briefly to fall back and build his momentum as he spun with tremendous force and slammed his fist into the man's side. The impact caused the man to crash into the ground and cause it to collapse slightly as a massive cloud of dust rose into the air as a result. Bisharp lowered himself just slightly but remained in the air to keep an eye on the Destroyer.
Engano rose from the ground, not amused at all by the sudden turn of events with his clothes being tattered now and partially bruised. The man looked up towards Bisharp and stated, "Well, it looks like I made a grave mistake underestimating your abilities, Bisharp. I think I'm done holding back now. This little charade is over, so let's get this shitshow over with. Engano was suddenly wrapped within a magenta outline, his hair wavered and the pebbles on the floor hovered. In a brief moment, an aura boomed from within the man, covering him completely as the aura shared the same distinct color as the rest of his attacks. Possessing a fine gradient of magenta with the aura being at its darkest within and the brightest on the outline of the aura. It's beauty however, was short lived, as the ground underneath Engano began to incinerate quickly and a hold formed in the ground in the shape of the aura. From the hole, steam arose from the charred dirt.
"Let's begin." Engano gritted his teeth as the air was displaced by his aura, the ground under him caved under the pressure he emitted as he launched from the ground towards Bisharp at full strength. The Pokemon was surprised by the man's slight boost in speed and caught his punch with difficulty as it was strong enough to push him back several meters in the air. They came to a stop as the two of them held their arms out, pushing against each other with wavering arms. Steam began to rise from under Bisharp's hand, making Engano smirk. The Dark Steel Pokemon's expression widened in shock at the scorching pain coming from his hand. He quickly let go and was punished for it as the man landed a quick blow and pulled Bisharp in close to place a point-blank kick at the pokemon's torso. The kick had enough force to generate a displacement in the air and blow Bisharp away.
Engano closed in on the Pokemon, throwing punch after punch and only granting enough time for the Pokemon to block with his arms. Each punch was very painful, the incinerating feeling Bisharp felt in his body every time he made contact with the Destroyer was a tormentful pain that made the actual punch worse. The man pulled his arm back and shot it forward making contact with the Creator as he was blown back even more. Bisharp slowed to a halt as he uncovered himself, finally given time to analyze the extent of his damage.
There were visible dents on his arms and in his torso, pieces of his body scorched away with each striking blow. Bisharp couldn't understand how this was possible but it had to be the work of Engano's ability, the aura he was enveloped in. In a calming response to the intense pain he was currently feeling, he panted as a result. The focus required to ignore the near-constant burning pain in his arm and focus on using the power of the stone placed a mental strain on the Pokemon.
Bisharp had an idea to test the limits of Engano's ability to gain a better understanding of it. He vanished with the wind using the Stone's power, leaving Engano lonely in the air as he simply awaited his opportunity to strike. He was aware Bisharp was going to play some game with him and decided to play along, leaving himself seemingly defenseless in the air for a brief moment before sparking his aura outwards and striking Bisharp just as he appeared once more. The brief splash of the incineration aura staggered the Pokemon and caused him to wince in pain. Engano didn't need to look to know where his enemy was, spinning around and backhanding the Pokemon away like a pest.
Engano offered no rest for his opponent, coming in for another powerful strike as he smashed his fist into Bisharp's face with so much more, it destroyed a part of the Pokemon's mask and blew him towards the city once more. With no control over his flight, the Pokemon barreled through an apartment building in the city and planted himself into another. Nearby pedestrians and Pokemon screamed and fled from the scene as the Dark Steel Pokemon forced himself out of the wall, allowing chipped off bits of his face mask to excrete.
Engano hoved above the first building Bisharp crashed through, arms folded and a confident demeanor possessing him. Fortunately for the Pokemon, he still had a few tricks up his sleeve, and ignited his aura once more as he zoomed towards the opposing Representative. Right when he believed the Destroyer was going to expand his aura, he backed away just in time to avoid a hit. However, it was only once, as Bisharp continued advancing back and forth towards his opponent, not making any contact whatsoever. Engano maintained his composure, simply tracking the Pokemon's movement with his eyes as Bisharp continued to psyche him out by coming in and going back almost immediately in different reactions, almost to see if Engano would react in a certain way.
The Destroyer had enough of these mind-games and spiked his aura once Bisharp came in close, staggering him once more and grabbing the Pokemon by the face. The aura began to burn Bisharp's face and left an imprinted hand mark across the Pokemon's face as the man's grip tightened. In a desperate attempt to break free and risk the damage, Bisharp maneuvered his body to wrap his legs around the man's arm and break his grip. During the process, he spun on the man's arm and used the quick build-up of speed to smash his fist into the man's face and backed off as there were burn marks covering his entire body now.
The hit Engano received was minimal, the aura doing its work and disintegrating Bisharp bit by bit until there's nothing left. The Dark Steel Pokemon wished to continue his experimentation of the aura, backing away even further and charging up a fully powered beam of energy and releasing it through his palms, directing it towards his enemy. Engano knew exactly what game Bisharp was playing at now and hoped to crush his dreams. Charging towards the beam and being consumed by it as he disappeared into the blast. The Pokemon didn't know what he was expecting when he saw the Destroyer rise out of the blast a mere meter in front of Bisharp and socked across the face, ending the attack.
Engano sustained no damage whatsoever, the aura having disintegrated the energy of the attack as he moved through it. The Pokemon was running out of options, he was beginning to understand the depths of this dangerous aura but he couldn't fathom a counterattack against it, this is nothing like Deoxys' Protection Barrier. He would need time to plan a strategy against this but he didn't have that luxury at the moment given Engano's ruthless assault.
The Pokemon blinked and right after, he found Engano already driving his fist into the Creator's torso, slowly burning a hole through him as his eyes widened with pain. The Destroyer continued to push forward until he had forced Bisharp into Prism Tower. Inside, the man clasped his hands and slammed them down against Bisharp, catapulting him through several floors of the tall building as each story of the building collapsed under the force. Engano decided to get another good hit in, latching onto the ceiling and using it as a foundation to push himself off to gain some speed and shove his fist into Bisharp's torso in less than a second with added momentum.
The building shook from the power, Engano attempting to force his fist deeper but was being held back by Bisharp's arms who were clutching the man's arm. The Pokemon struggled to hold him back, scorching his own hands in the process as his hold became weaker and weaker, the physical strain of resisting the pain and stopping the man's fist became too much. He struggled to breath as his arms gave out after a brief moment as they dropped, the man ceased his attack to simply look down upon his opponent, so damaged and weakened by his unstoppable aura.
The man grabbed Bisharp by the leg and chucked him out of the building with all his might. As the Pokemon travelled across the air, Engano caught up to him and began to unleash a flurry of consecutive blows back and forth, switching from one position to the next to keep the Pokemon in place. Following this, Engano raised his leg and slammed it down atop the Pokemon's head, shattering his metal blades up top, and propelling him into the ground below. The carefully placed floor tiles were undone as the entire section of the floor upturned.
Engano descended upon Bisharp, once more slamming both his fists down and smashing them into Bisharp with enough force to shake the area and form a crater. The Pokemon coughed out and gasped for air as his head fell back. The Destroyer decided to deliver the coup de grace and extend his palm to face Bisharp and unleashed his power. Cooking Bisharp alive within a ball of energy as it shot upwards like a beacon, encasing the Pokemon within the burning energy before fading and revealing a charred Bisharp remaining motionless on the floor. All of his blades destroyed, his body covered in scorch marks and dents in several places and the Pokemons expression conveying constant excruciating pain.
Engano was satisfied with his work, he managed to defeat two of the Representatives without breaking a sweat, oh how he loved the Giratina Stone. Before he could sing his own praises, Bisharp reached out for Engano. His raised arm was quaking with weakness as it slowly reached out to his opponent. Bisharp lifted his head as if trying to get up but could not muster the strength. The Pokemon's glowing red eyes flickered constantly as he generated a slow and withheld groan of pain. Engano did not move, watching the pokemon with a disgusted look on his face as he watched the pitiful scene before him. Soon enough, Bisharp's glowing red eyes faded and his body turned pale and his eyes rolled back, leading to the Pokemon collapsing to the floor, lifeless and decayed. The Pokemon's head rolled over like that of a ragdoll's and whatever life Engano could read from the Pokemon dissipated from his sight.
The work was done, and the Representatives of Creation were no more. All he had this to say, "You know… it's really underwhelming how easily you and your brother fall before my might. It just goes to show that I am the strongest out of all Representatives, and you two on the other hand don't stand a chance. But don't worry, once all this has blown over and I retrieve Daniel, he'll soon be calling me Master Engano and I'll teach him to follow in my footsteps. That sounds like a fun time, as much as I would like to pay my respects, You most certainly don't deserve a proper burial, I still haven't forgiven what you did to me." His dangerous aura disappeared as he took a deep breath and finally admired the carnage he's done so far. Yet with so much more room to improve, he's been on a good winning streak as of recent.
However, the fight wasn't over yet as he had one more target coming in fast. He turned around to face his opponent who turned out to be Deoxys speeding towards him in his infamous Speed Form. Engano felt prepared to take on the legendary but wasn't prepared for his speed as he vanished and reappeared right behind the man, landing a strike which broke Engano's guard. Following with a slugged backhand across the man's face as he was launched towards a building. Attempting to avoid more property damage, Deoxys chased after him and stretched out both of his arms and wrapped them around the Destroyer's wrist. Now pulling him in, Deoxys changed his form into his defensive form which was his physically largest state and crashed right into Engano, feet first. The man spat out in agony and was dropped onto the floor like a piece of trash. Deoxys used psychic on the ground, attempting to crush the man by squishing him between two masses of concrete.
Engano shouted, destroying the walls with his power and rising up into the air to escape. He moved in to attack and unleashed a flurry of punches to hit Deoxys, not wanting to take any chances, the psychic chose to avoid each hit in his speed form. They both backed off at the same time and approached each other once more with Deoxys now in his offensive state. They began to exchange a series of attacks and engaged in intensive close quarter combat. They kept at their pace, no party faltering as they maintained their ground.
Deoxys stretched one of his arms and very quickly tangled it around the destroyer, pulling him in as he repeatedly punched and kicked the man in place before launching him away with one final hit. Engano stopped his backwards movement and complimented the legendary, "Impressive, you're more aggressive than I thought. But unfortunately for you, not aggressive enough." Engano dashed towards Deoxys, spinning repeatedly as he covered himself in the same aura while Deoxys prepared to defend himself and put up his protective barrier. Engano passed through Deoxys with his arms covered in his divine aura and mere seconds after he passed through, Deoxys' arms were sliced off and the unbreakable barrier shattered.
Deoxys slowly turned around to face the man, not saying a word as he was in complete disbelief of his defense being destroyed. Engano mocked, "So much for your Unbreakable Shield, guess that makes two of us that can break your shield now." Deoxys didn't say anything, quickly regenerating his arms back to normal which hurt him. "I've had enough of you knocking me around, time for you to meet the same fate as Bisharp."
Engano closed in quickly, encased in his aura. Deoxys switched to his defense form and moved out of the way, bringing up his arms to guard a series of punches. Deoxys pushed right through Engano's offense and flipped Engano over to throw him off-balance. Deoxys knew about the effects of the aura from having observed Bisharp's fight but wasn't quite prepared for the pain itself. Regardless, he followed through, flipping the man over by pushing up his jaw. Deoxys performed a spinning kick to knock the man away and send him back several meters with little damage inflicted unfortunately. Deoxys fired off a small projectile which was disintegrated by Engano's aura, as expected. The legendary did this to test out how it dissipated those types of attacks, it was indeed troublesome. One thing he knew Bisharp must've noticed is that compared to them, Engano is a chump of a warrior. Simply hiding behind a gimmick to cover up for his own weakness, if only he was able to find a way past that ridiculous aura, he would be able to win this battle with ease.
Engano came in close, taking a page from Bisharp's book, slightly, and constantly disappearing and reappearing around Deoxys. As he did this, he maximized the effective radius of the aura, passing by Deoxys each time and burning him from different sides. Engano concentrated the aura, swiping Deoxys across the face as he melted through a small part of Deoxys face like a hot knife through butter. Leaving a seamless mark stretching across the legendary's face, his expression matching his pain. The Destroyer brought his fist back and snapped it forward like a bullet as he struck Deoxys away.
The psychic stopped his descent and hovered away from the approaching target who began to shoot out several projectiles, each of which blasting away chunks of the area surrounding Prism Tower. Deoxys preferred this than having the blasts directed at the buildings directly to his right, so he was going to be cutting it close by closing off his movement range. He looked around and saw Bisharp's body still in place and knew he had to avoid collateral damage.
Engano decided to cut the bullshit, speeding up tremendously to catch up with Deoxys and slam him into the floor face first. As he sat atop the legendary pinning him down with his knees, he began to choke the legendary. Despite the practical ineffectiveness of the maneuver, the thought of melting off Deoxys' neck and having his head come off as a result was amusing enough for Engano to follow through with it. As Deoxys' neck began to incinerate, so was the rest of his body which Engano was pinning down.
The legendary was getting desperate, trying to come up with solutions to get out of his predicament,wincing through the pain. Deoxys transformed into his speed form which was slender in physique, the alteration of his body type caused Engano to shift and the psychic seized the opportunity to break free. Transforming into his attack form, he kicked his legs out like a horse kick of sorts,making him buckle as a result. One more kick was able to make the man stagger back a few steps. Deoxys crawled away from the man, seemingly too-weakened by the aura to get up anymore. As he crawled backwards trying to move away from Engano, the man simply began to approach Deoxys at a normal walking pace, a visibly bored expression on his face as he watched his prey crawl back.
Engano monologued, "First, Daniel, then Bisharp, and now you. Good God, you've made it so easy for me to kill you all, really. I legitimately expected a tougher fight out of all of you, but after this, I'm honestly feeling a bit empty inside. Your deaths weren't as satisfying as I thought they'd be. Well, that's probably because there's someone else I want dead more than you both combined but that's besides the point. So why don't you just sit still and let me end your life." The Destroyer was confused when Deoxys began to chuckle lightly, he stopped dead in his tracks and furrowed his brows out of confusion. "What the?" Deoxys burst out into uncontrollable laughter and fell over on his side, almost at the point of wheezing now. "Have you gone mad? Why are you laughing?!"
Deoxys raised his volume as he laughed even more loudly now, this nonsensical act irritated Engano, stomping his feet and shouting, "I demand you to tell me why you're laughing!" Deoxys coughed slightly before turning back around to face Engano and wipe a tear from his eye and simply replied, "Oh, don't mind me. I've just been stalling for time."
"What?!" As Engano registered the response, his eyes widened and his heart rate spiked up when he saw a shadow appear from his peripheral vision and felt a presence behind him. He whipped around preparing to strike whoever dared sneak up on him from behind. In that instant, his skull was bashed-in with one blow despite having his protective aura still up. His skull damaged and the impact reaching his brain, his senses were thrown for a loop as his vision became blurry and all sense of control dissipated as he collapsed to the floor. He was caught by the wrist, and his body was left hanging only by his wrist. He barely managed to move his eyes to glimpse at his attacker, leaving a physical strain on his eyes from the effort. His heart skipped a beat once he saw who it was.
It was Bisharp, standing tall with no signs of being physically drained, yet the Pokemon was covered in his same battle damage. His eyes were obscured by a shadow when he first looked but his glowing red eyes soon boomed with life and made eye contact with Engano. The man began to sweat as Bisharp was still holding onto his wrist, he was sure Bisharp should be melting because of his aura which was still up, so why wasn't he burning? The Pokemon squeezed Engano's wrist and exerted enough force to dislocate the Destroyer's wrist as his arm became slack and still held in place by the Representative. Engano explored the depths of his imagination and searched for any potential reasoning for what was happening right now, but to no avail, he begged, "H-how? Why aren't you-"
"Dead? It's simple, ever heard of acting? I guess I'm pretty good at it. But don't worry, once I'm through with you… you'll be looking the part." Bisharp replied in a cold and threatening tone. Engano began to tremble in fear, never has his barrier been overcome. And now that his ace is removed, he's left to deal with Bisharp's rage at full force. The Dark Steel Pokemon chucked Engano aside and used his new-found time-stop ability to freeze the man in place several meters away from him. Deoxys' eyes widened when he saw the man completely frozen in air, it was unlike anything he's ever seen before, Bisharp assumed a stance and muttered to himself, "Oh I'm going to enjoy this WAY too much…"
Bisharp leaped forward and mutilated the man's hand with one strike. Bisharp had a sense for how much damage he was about to inflict into his victim. So he stepped back and took a drawn out deep breath, taking the time to reflect on all the people that have suffered because of Engano, and the people that he is fighting for. Images of the frightened citizens passed through his mind, then Samuel, Deoxys, and eventually his dear brother, Daniel, who he could only imagine is suffering right now.
Using his raw emotion to fuel his rage, he focused all of his power into 100% as he unleashed a powerful roar and the red sporadic electricity of his power exploded from within. In that moment, he let himself go, and threw as many punches as he physically could in the shortest time possible. Each punch so powerful it sent a shockwave through the man's body. Each punch so powerful a bone broke every time he made contact. Each punch so powerful an organ ruptured upon impact. Bisharp was going to savor this moment and allowed himself to cut loose as he unleashed everything he had in him to give the man what he deserved, "HATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAATATATATATAAAAAAA!" Deoxys was surprised by Bisharp, he never knew the Pokemon to have a sadistic side to him, but given the circumstance, he understood. It didn't matter what happened to Engano next, because even if he survived this assault, his life was going to be a living hell.
Bisharp undid his time-stop so the man's perception of time may continue once more and allow the effects of his several hundred consecutive punches to take effect. Engano's body was littered with dents,his body contorted unnaturally and his eyes were wide with agony. Almost instantly, the man was blown away like a professional baseball player hitting a home run. The man left a flowing trail of blood through the air as he flew and crashed into the floor.
Bisharp walked up to Engano's dysfunctioning body, the man was convulsing in short bursts, struggling to breathe as his body parts twitched and attempted to move. The Pokemon mocked, "I would piss on you just to be spiteful, but that would be beneath me like you are right now." Engano didn't/couldn't respond, the man was struggling to live as it was and the sight amused Bisharp greatly. He didn't take himself to be sadistic but his actions right now are tame compared to what Engano's done. It was a sin he will live with and take with pride, knowing he's ended everyone suffering. "Tell Giratina to clean up his mess..." Bisharp spun around and walked away nonchalantly and finished his statement, "Cuz his little toy's broken now."
End of Chapter
Fun Fact: Bisharp's newfound time-stop ability isn't actually a time-stop due to the feat being impossible. In reality, it is an advanced form of Psychic that not only grabs the target, but also their mind as well. The technique messes with the target's brain into making their perception of time come to a halt and whatever action they are in the process of doing goes through an endless loop until the ability has stopped. In a lame man's terms, it is essentially a "Mind Fuck."
