------------------------------
"OH MY GOD I'M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS, GET ME OUT OF HERE," screams Macaroon.
"OH MY GOD I'M AFRAID OF MY PARTNER, GET ME OUT OF HERE," screams Vee.
"OH MY GOD I'M AFRAID OF THIS FOREIGN OBJECT THAT I'M SOMEHOW HOLDING, GET ME OUT OF HERE," screams Havel.
"OH MY GOD CAN YOU JUST GET THE BATTLE STARTED ALREADY SO WE CAN GET OUT OF HERE?" scream Dragon, Sangfroidish, and Eifie in unison.
"..." says Neku helpfully.
"OH MY GOD FINE," screams Macaroon, charging up her tiny fangs with an incredible amount of energy in a matter of seconds. Vee shrinks back from her even more, inching her way nearly off the rooftop, and the Noibat's kind of offended. In fact, this makes her ANGRY. SO ANGRY. HER TEETH ARE BARED IN RIGHTEOUS ANGER AND SHE IS GOING TO STAB THEM INTO NEKU'S STUPID PANTS IN AN EXPRESSION OF PURE RAGE.
"..." says Neku annoyingly.
NOW THAT IS JUST IT. With a tiny roar that is completely drowned out by traffic below, Macaroon surges forward and sinks her teeth right into Neku's stupid head, because she thinks going for his pants might be a little inappropriate and likely to be misconstrued. Power surges from her INSTRUMENTS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION into his skin, and she cackles to herself in glee.
"..." says Neku distressedly.
Meanwhile the other Scraggy on the field throws herself foot-first in Havel's direction, completely oblivious to the transparent bubble the Aron has wrapped around himself in an attempt to escape from the ominous Thick Club that won't stop following him around the roof, despite not being attached to him in any discernible way. CRASH. SMACK. Vee finds herself flying back and landing bodily on the pavement, sprawled flat on her back in her own little crater in the rooftop. Oops. Man, she doesn't want to pay damages for that. She'd run off right now, but her foot is throbbing so hard she can't even stand. Ugh, Dragon is soooo gonna take this out of her allowance for the next few years...
"..." says Neku warningly.
And then the other Scraggy raises his arms and opens his mouth, revealing a set of teeth even larger than Macaroon's INSTRUMENTS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. The Noibat is taken aback. She'd taken Neku for too much of a thug-type to have
teeth! It's not fair! And then Neku plunges those teeth into her fur, and she realizes that they're just constructs made of what might be Fighting energy. Well, that's a relief. (It kind of hurts, though. In fact, it kind of hurts a
lot. In fact, she almost feels as if she could pass out right now... perhaps she should ask Neku for lessons after the battle.) Really feeling that pain, she screeches her outrage and disbelief in Havel's general direction, and this time the sound isn't drowned out by traffic. She fancies that she can see the noise grating against Havel's metal plates, as the Aron closes his eyes and shakes his head in distress.
Terror at her partner's audible rage is enough to propel Vee back to her feet, only to fling herself feet-first through the air again at a different target. This time she actually reaches Neku and hooks a leg around his, bringing him crashing to the ground. Ha! What an honourable, fair fight! Vee is quite proud of herself. When Neku gets up, gritting his teeth, his leg remains shaking and unsteady, but he still quickly draws back a fist, forcing Fighting energy into it that surrounds it with a dark orange glow. He brings the fist forward to connect with Vee's side, and not only is the impact likely to leave a bruise, but the orange glow doesn't disappear; it latches onto Vee's skin, sprouting creepy throbbing veins of energy that carry some of her lifeforce back into Neku's fist. My god! What a disgusting, underhanded tactic! Vee disapproves.
Havel completely ignores the rest of the fight and focuses on heightening his defenses, a bright, white glow surrounding him that solidifies into an additional layer of metal to reinforce his glistening steel coat. He twists his head to admire himself in his own reflection and then looks around at the others for praise and shouts of awe, but nobody cares.
Macaroon, for one, is too ANGRY to care. But she's completely stumped for ideas to outdo her opponent's superior INSTRUMENTS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. She stops to think for a second, and when nothing brilliant occurs to her she turns to Havel and flings her Lucky Egg at the Aron's armor in sheer frustration. The egg bounces off and over the edge of the roof, plummeting down into the traffic below, which is absolutely horrible. And Havel hardly seems to have noticed the impact at all. It's quite upsetting, and Macaroon quickly starts to regret that moment of passionate fury.
The two Scraggy take a short break from their desperate fight for superiority as Vee prepares to dig a handful of concrete straight out of the roof. Because she can do that, you know. But alas, Neku surrounds himself in a sinister dark glow and begins grabbing lumps of concrete from every spot Vee's about to touch, using them to fashion a clunky stone likeness of himself that comes to life as he breathes on it. My god! What a disgusting, underhanded tactic! Vee disapproves.
She doesn't have that much time to disapprove, though, because Havel chooses just that moment to launch himself at her, tail glowing brilliantly as he whips it around to slam straight into her arm. She screams as the sharp edge of his tail cuts open her skin, leaving her arm feeling vulnerable and exposed. It was her Substitute-crafting arm, too.
"..." says Havel happily.

Notes
- god you guys
- Sorry I didn't actually describe the moves that much... I was kind of having too much fun with other things...
- Unmodified speed order: Macaroon (55) > Vee, Neku (48) > Havel (30). Speed boosts are ±15 points per stage. For future reference, I break speed ties by having the Pokémon who was commanded first move first. (i.e. Vee was "faster" this round, Neku would have been next round if not for Low Sweep, and so on.)
- Throwing the Lucky Egg did Normal-type damage instead of Dark-type damage, since Macaroon doesn't know Fling. I didn't have to decide what to do to the base power because it would have done 1% damage and I would have made it take 2% energy either way. :p
- Iron Tail lowered Vee's Defense.
- Sangfroidish why is your Aron holding a Thick Club
- Sangfroidish posts commands first next round.
