X defeated Y with Z

Feeling macho over having bested the countryside's local strongman, Braviary's fervor intensified to barbaric levels, even though it was an unfair 'match' to begin with as Machamp themself was just reading a bedtime story to the orphanage until Braviary Air Slashed Machamp right on the groin whilst hiding within a sofa. Now, with a newfound sense of pride, Braviary flaunted his muscles to basically every person he met. And every time he went to a shop, he'd literally tackle over the shopkeeper, fight every staff member he could find, and made off with anything he wanted out of the building; scot-free. Eventually, the quiet town had enough, and the Machamp had to call in a childhood friend.

Said childhood friend, who had traveled all the way out of Japan just to immerse into the warm, sunny rural life, was soon met with a nasty Brave Bird from the chauvinistic avian. But a burning realization sunk into the thick-maned comb of Braviary; it was a Magcargo! Now stuck in a clump of molten rock, third-degree burns penetrated through this once-proud eagle's feathers, causing the bird to crow in sheer horror; which only worsened as the Magcargo then pelted the Braviary with a hefty Rock Slide as it kept hugging him in dissonant joy. Thus, the Braviary was not only slathered in boiling lava, but was also caved in by the rocks in a way that he couldn't even bulge out. As the flames immolated him; the Braviary's last thoughts were...
"NO! I haven't finished watching Flip Flappers!"

Everyone cheered as the rogue thug's rampage had gone to cinders. Most especially, the orphanage. After all... FREE BARBEQUE DINNER!

Anyway, a Wailiord used Body slam Scald to defeat Magcargo.
 
Having awakened from its slumber after vanquishing the Garchomp that had been ravaging its forest, Xerneas was overcome by a storm of despair and despondence upon seeing the state of the forest it had formed from its nature-manipulating abilities: all chopped away and reduced to a barren field of dried grass, dislocated branches, and stumps. Seeing nothing but lost vegetation and the dried, rotting corpses of Pokemon that had once thrived in a peaceful meadow, the Xerneas tried to rest at the remains of a forest clearing near a lake to clear its mind, but then it was promptly conked on the head unconscious by a disgruntled Beheeyem's Steel Wing...

...Eventually, Xerneas woke up again, but it was completely and totally unable to move, for it had been glued and stapled shut to a museum room's wall; and most humiliatingly, its antlers had been cut off of it; leaving it effectively bald and without its powers as life-force incarnate. With the eye that isn't constantly feeling the wall, it sees a glass container that appears to contain all the skeletons of the Pokemon that had once lived in its forest: Dedenne, Pachirisu, Emolga, Boltund, Goomy, Lucario, Pikachu, Flygon, Absol, Greninja, Dragonite, Typhlosion etc. All of them are in rotting, cracked condition, and yet whoever had collected them saw fit to tape right into a hastily decorated tank with a shoddily-painted image of a forest, while having said skeletons dressed up in business suits. With its optimism and view of life shattered by the desecration of the world it had once lived in, Xerneas could only scream in despair as a horde of Elgyem tourists visiting the museum coated it with the flashing lights of cameras.

And the Beheeyem who knocked said Xerneas unconscious? It was at its house in Japan; reading Kill Me Baby while using a rainbow-colored backscratcher carved out of the antlers of the deer it had hunted. It happily listened to songs by Van Canto.

Oooh look Xerneas used magic to reappear at full health.
It attacked absol with moonblast cuz why not
 
Honchkrow did this because they mistook Xerneas for Stantler, who works for the IRS. See, as the leader of the mafia, Honchkrow's got a list of crimes under their belt: stealing a Greninja's skeleton (which resulted in Honchkrow getting their medical license revoked), illegal trafficking of goods, contract killing, robbing cavefish of their sight, licking Butterfrees, and most relevantly, tax evading. Honchkrow quickly got out of the scene as Beheeyem closed in on the barely-conscious but incapacitated Xerneas, They flew to Australia; the place where the gang had relocated after they got ratted on by a former accomplice just because they didn't get the yuri manga they were promised. The top four honchos of the gang proceeded to undertake the activity that they annually play after committing a great scheme: Mario Party.

Having chosen Mario Party 7, between the quartet of Honchkrow, Arctozolt, Aromatisse, and Shiftry; Aromatisse was the felicitous one. They pretty much got the Star every time they visit a chest on Neon Heights. This made the rest of the group boiling with enmity, most especially Honchkrow themself. Just as the game is about to announce Toadette as the winner; something snapped within the once charismatic avian that they went cuckoo-crazy. They flew around, smashing every window, wasting the drugs by quite literally tackling into them and bathing themself over the scattered dust, furiously pecked all of the Murkrow underlings, and wore a Greninja skull and furiously proceeded to hop around; angrily calling themself Mamu while screaming awful songs. This horrified the gang so much that they needed to make this cracked bad egg fly off to a better place...

Eventually, Honchkrow's guttural recital of "Connect" by ClariS was put to an end by Arctozolt, who cleaved the drunk bird's throat with their almighty Bolt Beak. After Honchkrow struggled in pain whilst knocking over the Hulk statue that was behind them, their last action before expiring was to tip their fedora-like crest like the proper mafia leader they once were. After the bird keeled over, Arctozolt grabbed hair-cutting scissors and gently scalped the 'fedora' off of their former leader's head. Using the hat-like clump to crown themself the new leader, Arctozolt cawed triumphantly, to the cheers of the Murkrow and the rest of the gang. They proceeded to establish their leadership in many ways; ensuring no bird gets to crack and fly off the handle by making them watch Yuru Camp, establishing a new base on the isolated, less-dangerous principality of Sealand, and most importantly... the gang made sure to pay their taxes properly.

Despite having bested the Pokemon equivalent of Sun Wukong/Son Goku, Alakazam felt no satisfaction. In fact, our mustachioed friend has been suffering an existential crisis. They have been doing nothing but constanly repeat the same joke involving Vanillite for almost an entire decade despite how the rest of the audience has grown completely weary of it. Wanting to alleviate the pain of divorcing Gengar after a 25-year long relationship, Alakazam decided to take up a job at an auction site. Said auction site was situated at the remains of human civilization; as humanity had done nothing but repeat mistake after mistake and thus their prejudices towards one another has lead to the collapse of society. After losing enough of their IQ to the point they answer rhetorical questions from a tragic addiction to Monster energy drinks and NOS energy drinks, its the least they could offer in life.

After reaching the mall where the auction is taking place, Alakazam began the sale in an awkward fashion; having to substitute their spoons with chopsticks after getting robbed by a horde of Dracovish. Initially, things were relatively active, but at least tame enough that any discord was kept to a minimum. Items such as a Tamaki Inuyama pillow, a Fossilized Dino, and a Donkey Kong bobblehead figure were sold with little trouble. But then, a certain item came...
Using one pair of chopsticks to eat a comfort cookie, sweat ran all over their yellow-body as the physical copy of Super Mario 3D All Stars copy being sold had somehow skyrocketed to the hundreds after starting off at a modest 60. Eventually, the Alakazam, let the one Pokemon that had been betting their entire savings on this very item, a Durant, win the auction.

Initially, the Durant was beset with a feeling of satisfaction; having snagged a coveted item for a good price... or so it seemed. It took about two minutes of silence for the horrid realization that they bet a number way higher than their paycheck. The Durant scrambled for ideas on how to get around this, they soon decided to try to smooth things with the auction dealer. They felt that just a good impression and reasoning would help alleviate the damage. And so, the eusocial insect dashed to the Alakazam, hoping to make a good First Impression... and boy was it a great one. In fact, it was too great; the head-on collision was just too strong that not only did a meaty cracking noise echo through the mall, but the Alakazam's telekinesis completely dissipated away; causing their chopsticks to fall off and the Alakazam fell onto the floor with an equally nasty thud. Their vision was slowly becoming foggy yet bright; they didn't seem to register the blood seeping out of their nose. The Durant, who's completely shaken with remorse and regret, can only stare at the pained PSI with tearful eyes. They were the only person to hear Alakazam's last spoken thoughts...
"The comfort of death will come... for men and Pokemon alike... by the guidance of the Original One..."
 
Magikarp used Hydro Pump.
Seriously what happened to magikarp's moveset in Galar??
 
Magikarp too, is a Pokemon who is nothing more but a despairing washout amidst the world of sin. By the turn of two decades, no one has ever laughed at a Magikarp joke; and those that do attempt one end up getting either ridiculed on image boards or doxxed. In fact, not even the most manchildish of genwunners were able to spare this carp a turn to ironically proclaim 'badassery'; and neither did the Magikarp salesmen ever make a proper living with selling such fish. The last of those unfortunate souls ended up losing their jobs and became bums in the streets of Kanto, begging for even rotting leftovers. Completely dejected by the lack of laughs in the world, Magikarp, who couldn't even evolve into Gyarados because they surgically implanted an Everstone into their body system much like a certain electric rodent, decided that the last place they shall swim to is Joke's End, the graveyard of all bad jokes, in hopes that the bitter cold would be a more forgiving place for the perpetually-flat jokes in the world.

In order to cloud their mind from making doubts, Magikarp packed their bags with nothing but beer. They don't see any other reason to devour sustenance other than alcohol, especially since Magikarp, at least those that don't have the luxury to become Gyarados, really only exist to serve as plain meals for the apex predators; just like how food like bread and rice are practical but not exciting for the human diet. And so to faraway lands the Carp Pokemon swam. And boy was it just the epitome of despair. Because Magikarp chugged so much of bourbon, they were too full to even just drift in the sea's waves; and even if it is full to the brim of beer; if a Sharpedo really wanted to be addicted, they would just tackle the nearby Qwilfish to feel their neurotoxins. The only way for myopic ol' Magikarp to traverse the sea before all the alcohol digests away is to slump like a Slugma and hope for the best. Well, at least, something relative enough to the 'best'.

Well, at any rate, the Magikarp could've been rotting in the abyssal floor, but miraculously, they managed through thick and thin for an entire month. They eagerly flopped entrance of Joke's End, feeling accomplished for the first time in their entire life. A wave of inevitability breezes onto Magikarp as it flopped around the place, seeing such pleasant sights such as Crazy Frog, Family Guy, and other chilling visages. It took until the Magikarp experienced frostbite on one side that a sentient presence, a Cryogonal, finally approached them. Wanting to cry but unable to perform such a feat due as both of their eyes are coated in frozen tears, the Magikarp can only express itself through gular gasps and throbbing flops. The Cryogonal, moved by these desperate acts, wanted to retrieve this downtrodden cyprinid so that they could reach the lobby deep within the cemetery. That way, they'll have a pleasant tea party with a certain girl,. Unfortunately, Cryogonal is allergic to the smell of rotting fish, which debilitates its respiratory system. The moment Magikarp's fishy scent permeated the palace, the Cryogonal instinctively blasted out a Freeze-Dry, coating the entire fish with ice. The Cryogonal stared in pure disbelief and guilt at the chunk of ice before them now. A janitor then came in to the scene. Gazing upon the frozen chunk of seafood, the janitor turned to Cryogonal and said, with the most exasperated tone imaginable:

"....Fifth one today, huh."

The janitor then irritatedly kicked the frozen Magikarp back into the sea. Trapped in a hunk of ice with no chance of mobility, the Magikarp can only scream in their agonized mind as they drift away to the foggy elsewhere. They were denied of even the destination that they were begrudgingly accepting towards... And now, the Magikarp is never to be seen again...
