Delphox crashes into the ground moments after being blown the fuck out, melting all of the snow around her. She lacks the willpower to even mumble a weak cry of anguish. Defeated once again, Serena falls in a similar manner, on her knees with a strained ego, quite possibly unable to accept another defeat. She sniffles.
After having exhibited so much gamebreaking power for maximum brutality, Sceptile is near exhaustion. He breathes heavily and expels a large amount of steam from his body. Such deviance comes at a great cost, with consequences so dire that the universe as we know it could shatter in an instant if they aren't abided by. It's a practice that can only be attempted, once in a while.
Sceptile devolves back into regular form, he has caused more damage to himself by going to those unimaginable extremes than Delphox could have ever hoped to have dealt. Both Pokemon are returned, and Serena is given a harsh lecture.
"I've yet to see improvement. So many battles, all of which were played more straightforward than this, and I've still yet to see you overpower me.
And you're the one that came to me to finish this training in the first place. Just what do you hope to accomplish with yourself if you don't have the will to change yourself and improve. This isn't about some selfless goal of achieving power or surpassing anyone, it's simply about being the best you that you can be, and so far,
you're nowhere near that state of mind."Fortunately, he at least has the decency to offer her a hand towel, "Clean up, come inside when you're ready. Dinner should be ready in an hour. Don't stay out too long."
He departs, leaving her to have a moment of deep reflection in a post-mortem defeat.
