Season 40, Week 1
Rayquaza
(Pokémon Series)
 
Ruling over the skies of Hoenn, the Sky High Pokemon is a force of nature, to be respected in the arena as much as it's home airspace. Much like itself, however, Jowy wields power beyond the reckoning of his home world. The Black Sword Rune is to be feared by most warriors, but Rayquaza has little to worry about. Jowy is no more durable than any human, and backed by a Dragon Dance to raise his aggressive capabilites and maneuvering speed, the might of Outrage is enough to fell even hardy fighters in a single blow. Faced with the prospect of being pummeled by Outrage again and again even should he even survive, and limited in his own ability to use his Rune's power, Jowy will have no choice but to submit to the will of this mighty skyborn mediator.

Jowy Atreides is a lad with a dream. With vision. Foresight and cunning. He's destined to a future of greatness, even under great ordeals. With the Black Sword Rune in hand, he can obliterate foes and sow seeds of destruction if he must. As such, a powerful young man, with a brilliant future, has to face... a Pokémon. Well, it could be worse - Rayquaza is a mighty beast capable of rending the skies apart and frightening even Kyogre and Groudon. This may not be so bad after all - but this changes little: Jowy is well-equipped to deal with this foe. Being swifter than his opponent, all Jowy needs to do is cast a couple Hungry Fiends while Rayquaza fails to actually kill Jowy in the interim. The young blonde won't falter against a beast, even if a legendary one.

"Hungry Friend?"

"Yeah, that's what I named my Snorlax." Jowy nodded sadly. "I didn't expect Rayquaza to be able to thrash him so thoroughly..."

"...You really don't keep up that much, do you." Chisato said after a moment, looking at Jowy.

"Hey, you see how much you like a Snorlax hurtling through the air at you at mach speeds!" Jowy replied, furious.

"...Right. This is Chisato, signing off. Get someone to look at that poor Snorlax - impacts at that speed are brutal no matter what." Chisato said, turning the camera off before beating Jowy into the ground.

Even Chisato does not countenance animal cruelty. Unless she does it herself.
