Pokémon X and Y Playthrough Discussion

Just did the Lucario vs Lucario fight (yeah I know, I'm slow). Holy pomegranate was I close to losing. I opened with Mega Evo + Swords Dance, while Korrina performed a Mega Evo + Power-Up Punch that took my Mega Lucario down to red. Finished the fight with a three-hit Bone Rush. That was wayyyyy too close for comfort.

I could be mistaken but from what I've noticed that fight might be programmed to end by the end of turn 2, guaranteed. You either beat her in that time or she beats you. Losing still progresses the story like normal anyway though.
