Doctor Doom extended his arm towards toward the Zapdos. “Logan. I see one tactical retreat in battle as required, I see two as treason. Do not run again. Shred."
Logan didn’t need to be told twice and rushed at Zapdos with its blades soaked with water from the torrential downpour that was all around them. As Logan closed the Zapdos fired a bolt at him that Logan smoothly dodged; a house that was behind Logan exploded as soon as the potent bolt hit it.
Logan went to slash at Zapdos but its blade was stopped by a ball of electricity that emitted from Zapdos’ chest. Logan began to shake as his muscles strained at the very end of their limits and when Logan thought he could push no further his bladed arm began to move towards Zapdos’ chest.
Zapdos, for its part, was freaking out a bit. It was facing off against a Beedrill and it was putting up much more of a fight than it had expected. Bugs were supposed to be eaten by birds, and Zapdos was smart enough to understand that it was no ordinary bird. It had true power. The electricity that ran through its body was ancient and deadly, and yet this common bug dared to resist it. So Zapdos, more than a little annoyed at the absurdity of the situation, did what Zapdos did best.
It used its power.
Logan, however, was not a normal Beedrill. It had been personally trained and modified by the greatness of Doom to have heightened abilities and instincts. Thus the moment Zapdos switched its power from a shield to a weapon, a vortex of electrical power, was when Logan chose to strike.
As Zapdos electrocuted Logan, Logan’s twin blades sunk into Zapdos’ tender flesh and buried themselves until both blades were sticking out the back of the bird. The pain redoubled the electrical attack as Zapdos pushed itself past its limits.
Logan shook as the pain from Zapdos’ attack went straight through him. Logan knew he was being killed, and that he should pull back, but Logan also knew that pulling back would disappoint Doom. He would rather die than disappoint his master.
If Doom could hear Logan’s thoughts at that moment Doom may very well have been proud of his Pokemon.
On second thought, probably not.
Logan never willingly backed away from the Zapdos, constantly hacking at the legend’s midsection until the brutality of the lightning vortex became too much and Logan’s arms slipped out of Zapdos’ ravaged midsection and he fell to the ground in a heap.
