[In which case, he'll find Piers still in the middle of 'setting up' - that is, testing out his new guitar amp. The sound of strumming can be heard the second Ingo enters the gym, before he moves on to a frenzied plucking of strings.
Obstagoon is already out, shaking his head to this warm up melody]
[A thunderous, electrifying riff wails from his guitar, practically a boomburst across the walls of the gym. Obstagoon roars in sync with him, hyped up!!!]
[Perhaps unlike any battle he's had before, Piers and Obstagoon are in sync with the music itself - and timed with a gnarly wail from his guitar, the badger leaps in to take his stance on the gym floor, arms crossed over his chest in a display of toughness. A golden string connects them as well, and Piers sings,]
We'll show you what Spikemuth's made of!! Obstagoon, obstruct and BREAK'EM DOWN!!!
[Ok well singing about a block you're going to make isn't the best strategy, but. Whatever attack comes their way is going to be blocked by the defensive wall of Obstagoon's X-shaped guard!!!]
Allow me to counter with the pride of the Coronet Highlands!
[Ingo makes a specific hand gesture to signal to Gliscor. Yes it's more awkward to do dramatic hand gestures while all the strings are around, and he is slightly more cautious about making it, but SOME DRAMA IS INTEGRAL TO THE PROCESS.
Gliscor is testing this never-before-seen block with a Quick Attack. Maybe that will be quick enough to get in fast before the block? (It won't be, and it's a move that makes contact, to trigger Obstagoon's effect...)]
The second Gliscor clashes with Obstagoon's block, the badger's powerful roar throws him back and lowers his defense.
A dark, malevolent riff splits the air and Obstagoon knows what it means - following through with a throat chop to the Gliscor while it's vulnerable. He rushes in, swinging his arms outward from his chest to silence the glider's cries.]
[ She's just here. At some point? Captain Green Strings, though there's one gold one linking her to the Abra who is absolutely making her hold it. Might as well see how Pokemon battles of the ~*Future*~ look.
The answer, so far, seems to be "it transforms the slouched man with depression into a loudly snarling musical beast", so hey. Learning experience. ]
[well the musical beast was defeated in battle, and thus transforms back into a man with bad posture and depression. this is definitely how things work.]
Oh, you're here... I hope we put on a good show......

[Ingo looks starry-eyed. PIERS IS SO COOL AND PASSIONATE!! POKEMON BATTLES ARE SO EXCITING!!!]
—Gliscor! Prepare for departure!!
[He drops an old-fashioned Hisuian Pokeball onto the gym floor, and out comes Gliscor, connected to Ingo by a yellow-gold string.]

The fact he didn't send out Machamp pretty much means he was tryin' to be sporting and give me a fighting chance.
