Round nine
The ninth round begins with another bout of unearthly wailing, and as both Pokémon cringe from the noise, the cold and drafty room begins to grow noticeably warmer. The lingering dampness from the mist is quickly dispersed as the heat rises, while the wailing spirits slowly begin to quiet down once again.
Both battlers look displeased with the sudden shift in temperature; the already irritated Aerodactyl scowls and flaps her wings while Sneakman’s ears and tail droop as he shuffles about uncomfortably. As things heat up, the darkened room is abruptly lit up, seemingly with some supernatural trickery, and both Pokémon cry out in surprise. The light doesn’t appear to be coming from any particular source, and it floods the whole room with its fiery glow.
Sneakman and Rawr shake their heads and blink rapidly in unison, trying to adjust to the sudden brightness. Rawr is the first to recover from the shock, and she slowly takes off into the air, her great wings stirring up dust and assorted trash. Squinting her eyes against the harsh light, she peers down at the dazzled Sneakman, then flaps down in front of him and begins dishing out the insults once again.
Sneakman’s pointed ears suddenly flick upward as he hears his opponent start on another tirade, and he scowls, trying in vain to hold his temper and not take the bait. Rawr continues with her sneering jabs, and looks to be thoroughly enjoying taking out her anger on her foe. She can’t help but feel quite proud of the original material she’s managed to come up with, and she saves the best jibe for last; a particularly nasty one involving a Seviper (of course). Sneakman can't help himself: he utters an angry howl of frustration and immediately pounces towards the sneering rock beast, his claws slashing through the air.
Why can't that stupid Aerodactyl learn to keep her huge mouth shut?!
Rawr's eyes widen in surprise at Sneakman's sudden outburst, and she scrambles to get out of the way. However, the enraged Zangoose manages to rake his claws across her exposed muzzle before she can retreat.
Rawr is more shocked than hurt by her fuming opponent’s outburst however, and she quickly flaps upwards in an attempt to escape the screeching furball. When the flailing Sneakman is forced to stop for breath, she flaps backwards, distancing herself from her foe in order to gain momentum for her attack, then tenses herself and spreads her wings. Her eyes and body suddenly begin to glow with a fiery gold light, and combined with the shine of the unnatural sunlight, it certainly makes for a dazzling display.
Sneakman growls and half-shields his eyes as he blindly charges towards his foe, his fur bristling in agitation. It’s hard for him to think or co-ordinate his attack plan in his enraged state, but he can feel fatigue setting in and realises that he needs to pace himself. Snarling viciously, Sneakman advances forward, but his furious expression is suddenly replaced by one of shock as the glowing Aerodactyl utters an ear-piercing roar and closes the gap between them in one fell swoop. Her rocky body blazes with a harsh light as she zooms forward and collides with the stupefied Zangoose, hurling him backwards.
Sneakman screeches loudly from the force of the impact, and he's left lying in a tangled heap, twitching in shock and pain. Rawr grins toothily at her success, her irritation at the disastrous last round all but forgotten.
As his grinning foe takes to the air again, the twitching Zangoose slowly begins to raise again. His expression is even more murderous than it was before, and the only thing stopping him from making a bee-line for the loud-mouthed Aerodactyl is the pain in his chest and head.
While Sneakman struggles to regain his bearings, Rawr once again prepares herself for the powerful but strenuous attack. She spreads her wings as her body becomes cloaked in the same harsh light from before, and the sunlight blaring down strengthens the glow even further. As she prepares, Sneakman stands upright again, looking slightly unsteady as he clutches his chest. The Zangoose glowers when he spots his foe glowing with that damned aura again, and he tenses, his busy tail bristling indignantly. He can barely wait to get his claws on Rawr, but he's all too aware of the danger. While Sneakman is left hesitating, Rawr suddenly looses another loud roar, and streams towards her foe like a comet. Sneakman stands bolt upright, and hastily makes a move to try and dodge, but Rawr is upon him before he can react, colliding with the unfortunate Zangoose with devastating force.
Sneakman can only utter a muffled gasp this time, but as Rawr drives into him, he manages to blindly rake his claws against her nose in one desperate and bitter attempt to vent his anger. Rawr cringes a little from the unexpected swipe, but once again, she is more surprised than hurt. Sneakman is definitely the one left worse off as he is hurled backwards in a twitching heap of pain. Rawr shakes her head and backs away a little, surveying the results of her attack.
