Grinning from the fact that the battle couldn’t last much longer – Zero looked like it was struggling to stay conscious – Dexterous inhaled deeply once again and breathed out yet another stream of flames. Though the sun’s intense rays were beginning to dwindle, they still did well in lending strength to the already powerful blaze. The unfortunate Bronzor on the receiving end was much slower than Dexterous, and as such had much less time to execute its orders. The flames washed over it like a brilliant, burning tide, melting the alloy that made Zero’s body; it screamed in agony, even as the gears in its brain turned furiously to process its commands. By the time it managed to extend a mental reach outside its brain, most of the Flamethrower was gone, but Zero managed to turn what was left back towards the very creature that had called the fire into being. Dexterous growled and blinked his eyes. The little embers did little more than sting, weakened as they were.
Zero’s rage gradually cooled as it watched its opponent hiss in discomfort. Like a heavy blow, the Bronzor realized how worn out it felt, and the shock of it sent black fringes creeping around its vision. It cringed; it would have to end this soon.
Dexterous, on the other hand, was absolutely giddy with the prospect of imminent victory. “Hey, looooooser!” he crooned, drawing out what seemed like Zero’s new nickname with relish. “I told you, you can’t win! You can’t beat anything! But that’s to be expected, you know, because Bronzor are the lowest of the looooow.” Zero looked sharply in the Aerodactyl’s direction, and if it had any veins then they would’ve been throbbing. This time, though, instead of responding with a howl of fury, it merely squeezed its eyes shut and did its best to block Dexterous’s insults out. Eventually the archaic Pokemon stopped rambling and glared at Zero, who was quivering with annoyance but still very much in control, with unveiled disgust.
As soon as Dexterous fell silent, Zero opened its eyes and began to draw shimmering grey energy from the air, so radiant that it looked almost white. The power congregated in an orb in front of the Bronzor, and when it reached the size of a baseball it shivered, before abruptly shooting off in Dexterous’s direction in a thick ray with a vweem. The shaft of light struck the Aerodactyl at the base of the neck, and he starting coughing and gagging at once. Even when the brilliance faded away, he still coughed, only stopping several moments after the attack had died away.
As Dexterous cleared his throat, which was feeling rather tingly, he gave Zero a glare. Better end it quick. For the umpteenth, and probably last, time in the battle, he exhaled a mighty breath of fire, which cut across the Adhesive Hole unhindered to assault its target with relentless heat. The hapless Bronzor simply shuddered and fell unconscious halfway through the attack, unable to act quickly enough to redirect the deadly blaze; his eyes, deeply set in a navy-coloured pool of melted metal, slid shut with a sigh.

Terrain notes
The sun is shining down on the wasteland that houses the Adhesive Hole, and will do so for another 2 actions.
Final notes
Taunt failed.
Zero fainted on the 3rd action.
I was sorta iffy about the Psychic redirecting the Flamethrower: first of all, fire is a rather intangible substance, and second, Aerodactyl is more than five times as fast as Bronzor. In the end I decided to be generous and had Zero redirect about 10% of the attack, but it didn’t really make much of a difference.
The battle is over, and Metallica Fanboy is the winner. He gets $8, I get $5 for reffing, and Kam gets $3.
Dexterous gets 2 EXP, while Zero gets 1. (is it just me or did that sound rather amusing?) Good game, you two – after seeing how big a role Sunny Day played in this, I think I should consider shortening its duration >.>
