This wasn't going to be an easy one, Jace decided upfront. Odds are these bots had strong resistances and were probably packing Fire-type attacks to boot. Still, thanks to their shenanigans earlier Lucario was currently out. He was the ideal Pokemon for the job. Using his telekinesis he nudged Lucario to the left and Breloom to the right, which is all the information that they needed to strike.
"A Paradiso Elite? That just sounds like a mockery of the Elite Four," Jace laughed. He hadn't heard what Marietta said to Tully, but he could tell that Zed was not emotionally stable. Nothing gets to these megalomaniac types worse than disrespect. "Last I checked Tatsumaki and Jeremiah don't ride around in giant robots."
By contrast, Lucario was extremely serious. In a blur of motion he moved before anyone else, sprinting across the field and dashing behind the Regibot to Jace's left. Bones of aura appear in his hands as he strikes the Regibot five times in quick succession. Not only should that be super-effective, but Lucario was now set up to flank this Regibot as well as the big one.

Lucario doesn't think about holding back as every hit rips and tears through the Regibot with ease. "The name was something Jack came up with, so don't shoot the messenger!" Zed says as he watches on from screen in his robot. "The entire pokemon league system is a mockery! A cruel design. That manpower and funds can be poured into something productive. Taking young kids and foolishly leading them into a goal only few can reach! Just become a normal citizen and earn your daily wages for all I care." Regigigas shifts itself, looking for Lucario underneath.

Kowai leaves Sana's body and makes the second move without much input from Sana. Motivated by Lucario's instant dealing with the blue Regigas, Kowai fires a stream of fire directly at Regigiant's leg, hitting and warming its leg.

"You..." The Regigigant raises its foot. "Insignificant deviant. How dare you touch this." The foot slams to the ground directly above Kowai. The impact stirs up the entire area. Kowai's spirit is slowly lifted through the foot. Kowai turns to his host with a puzzled look.
"You damn specter! I know just how to deal with you."
Marietta approaches Sana quite leisurely with the situation they're in. "Come'on Ruby! I know you got a mean bone somewhere in that glitter filled body. I really want that kid's name." She says while shaking the magical girl's shoulders.

"Surround 'im," Tully says simply before sprinting around the bot and towards the second rock-bot. Admittedly, Tully's not sure exactly what good he'll be against either opponent - his speciality is finding and striking weak points but, while they both have them, the fairy energy Sana tells them suffuses them will still prevent his attacks hitting nearly as hard as they should. He silently wishes he had some other kind of attack he could use and, in a moment of desperation, looks inward to see if there's anything at all he could use. To his surprise, he feels something - something weak and underused, but something still. Opening his eyes, he feels a cool moisture spreading over his body, both calming him down somewhat and providing a small well of energy for him to use. Meanwhile, Xander rushes around and up to the giant machine and snaps a burning jaw at its leg, only to misjudge how fast the thing can move it and get only a glancing blow. He looks up to Zed and growls. Tully: Shift: Move Standard: Use Aqua Rng
Xander: Shift: Move Standard: Fire Fang on Regigigobot Swift: Intimidate on Zed

Breloom follows Lucario's lead, heading for the other Regibot. He bombards it with a barrage of Bullet Seeds before turning to the larger threat. It would take all of their efforts to surround the thing. Jace, meanwhile, runs out wide to get clear from the rest of his teammates. If this thing had explosive or automatic weaponry they should spread out if possible.

Zed looks below and sees the group circling the mech. He grabs a device and activates the lone Regibot's autopilot mode. The robot sends a nasty right hook into Breloom, who swiftly dodges the blow.
Disgruntled, he switches autopilot off and will control it himself next time.

Despite feeling overwhelmed with fear and speechlessness, and predicting that this giant Regigas has Steel/Fairy type, Sana cheers on for her party's victory. "Everyone, even under this pressure, don't give up!"
Nudged by Marietta, Sana tries to figure out a way to make Zed speak his child's name. She tries to slow roast it. "I saw a photo of a family on the wall. That child with a Regigas toy is that your child?"

The Regigigant comes to a halt. The heat of battle breaks away for a moment as only the creaking of metal and steam fill the room. "Sana... You truly are a genuinely great person!" Marietta whispers. "Yes... He was my son. One day while camping he saw a Regirock and that became a fan of that pokemon. He wanted to become a Pokemon Trainer instead of becoming a member of the working class like me. But where did that lead him? Shipped back in a coffin! I follow The Boss because I want to uproot this system! I walk this path to rid the system that took Marsellus!" Zed can't wait any longer. The Regigigant clasps its hands and the united parts merge into one. "The light in your eyes shine bright with passion. But know that such pleasures are insignificant when judged by my hatred!! I'll finish off you fou-..."www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-9110BYxwoZed is left confused but only for a moment. He analyzes the monitor a second time, Marietta is nowhere to be found! Without notice she darted for the doors past Zed and is now almost past him. In a shuffle the man begins pulling and shifting the levers to attack and Marietta reacts by throwing another Pokeball at the robot's head. It defensively raises a hand to block, but a thicc cloud of black smoke covers the head on impact. Without seeing, Zed rains steel bullets in Marietta's direction. She runs, evades, and doesn't give up to reach that now closing door. "DON'T DIE OUT THERE! I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING! JUST DON'T DIEEEE WEEEEEE!" Marietta shouts her final words as she tumbles through the door and past the corner. ----------------------------------------------- Marietta's exit only gives Zed more reason to use lethal force. Another Regibot comes through a lift on its way to join the fray. Though Zed is vulnerable and cannot see, the exhaust fans will soon blow away Marietta's smokescreen and the battle continues.

Eager to prove that turning away from him is a bad idea, Lucario strikes the giant robot's leg with a fierce Force Palm. Now he was on the opposite side of the giant from the rest of the group, so hopefully they would have a chance of surrounding it.

"I don't have the right to judge," Sana swallows her hesitation and fear. Any chance of talking sense to Zed, it all comes to Marietta now. "But I can't let you stop this system! Without Pokemon Trainers, who will be there to stop criminals like Nadar? All the life-threatening incidents I've faced, they all traced back to Paradiso."
Sana points to the right leg. "Kowai, flank the right leg and assist Lucario!" Ruby, through Sana, gives out the order to Kowai. It levitates to the gigantic right leg and conjures a haphazard Shadow Ball, firing at it.

The smokescreen is sent in all directions when the steam runs through. Zed looks at the gash placed by Lucario and Kowai. There was some difficulty in penetrating the Diance shell, but the attacks hit hard enough to create gashes in frame of the leg.
Regigigant raises its hand above Breloom, holding it in the cloud of steam. A crackling sound alerts the Pokemon of the next attack. Giving him barely enough time to sidestep the thunderbolt crashing from above.

Tully takes a moment to appreciate the feeling of cool moisture on his skin before rushing forward towards the regirock-shapped robot, allowing water to flow up his arm and soften the material beneath enough for his knife to penetrate. Meanwhile, Xander growls up at Zed, letting loose a furious snarl before giving another fiery chomp to the robot's leg. Tully: Swift: Disengage 2 metres Standard: Use Aqua Jet on Regibot Shift: Flutter
Xander: Swift: Use Intimidate on Zed Shift: Disengage 1 metre Standard: Use Fire Fang on Regigigant (Right Leg)

Seeing Zed attack Breloom with Thunderbolt, a sudden realization struck him. This revelation filled him with a rage that he had not felt in some time. He points an accusatory finger up at the cockpit.
"If you loved him so much, you would have bothered to learn about what he cared about," Jace indicates to Breloom, who easily dodged the Thunderbolt. "But after you used a Normal-type move on a Ghost-type and a Electric-type move on a Grass-type, it is clear that you know nothing about Pokemon battles. If your son wanted to be a Pokemon master, then at the very least you should know that much." Before, Jace was trying to antagonize Zed as a tactical maneuver. Now it was personal.
Meanwhile, Breloom is off-foot from his previous dodge, causing him to not have is feet beneath him for a solid uppercut. Breloom and Lucario both sense Jace's determination though. They will not back down against this monumental foe.

Xander's tears through Regigiant's left leg with the force of a bulldozer. The impact area completely melts away the Diancie shell and steel frame. Together with Tully's attack a warning sign pops up in Zed's monitor, but he feels it's of no concern. "Strange, I don't have any data on that kind of ability." Says Zed as he observes Tully's aquatic powers for the first time.
Breloom barely grazes the robot which makes his body vibrate from the ding. "Just.. be quiet. That's how silly this game of cockfighting is to me. I've had enough. It's really me that wants to end this." Zed says in a solemn voice. His rage was completely engulfed by the fire of Jace's passion for Pokemon and extinguished by Sana's empathy and justice. "It's funny, Jack mentioned the same thing. But these robots are all I need to do my job. With Regigigant and the power of the one called Diancie, most type advantages are meaningless to me!"
The fresh Regibot finds its way behind Lucario and strikes with an equipped drill! The one near Breloom and Tully turns its torso 180 degrees to the latter and sends a gut punch to the rogue.

"Diancie?!" The name of her presumed patron goddess gains her attention again, this makes her sterner with her tone. "What did you do to her?" Sana senses that the legendary Pokemon cannot be possibly contained in this giant robot, only that he might have found her nesting somewhere in the region. She encourages her party members further, noticing the increasing number of Regibots appearing. "Don't let the Regibots get us, show your best!"Sana uses Show Your Best! (+1CS on defense and +1CS on any stats below +1 CS) on all allies and giving them Motivated cheer.

Zed ignores Sana's inquires and Regigigiant changes stance. "Gaea Mode Initiated" The metallic voice shouts. The robot hand molds into something new, rock shards extend from the drill-like ligament.
The drill is lifted towards Jace and sharp rock fragments rain down upon him. Luckily none hit...

Despite being attacked by the Regibot, Lucario continues to focus on the giant mecha. He sidesteps around the giant's leg before striking it several times in a Bone Rush.
Jace had said all he needed to. Now he just needed to avoid getting crushed while the Pokemon do their thing.

Lucario's artificial bones causes Regigigant's leg to short out. A spark of electricity makes its way out in a whimper. Zed stares blankly at the flashing screen. It wants to attention, but Zed will give it none. There's only one thing on his mind! "I'LL TURN YOU TO DUUUUUST! YOU DESECRATED EVERYTHING PARADISO HAS PROTECTED."

Kowai laughs. A burst of bone-chilling laughter that sends shivers even to her trainer, Sana. The chandelier specter knows that this time, her burst of flames on the left side of the leg were not merely a warmer, but can melt even steels. She wants to see this giant Pokemon topple down.
