Pre-round
The two battlers could taste it. The end of the battle was imminent. The flavours were quite different for each trainer, one of sweet victory, and the other of bitter defeat. Each one had put significant time and effort into the battle, and each party (including the referee) was, if not looking forward to the end of the battle, looking forward to the end of battle prizes.
With a big smile, Superbird called Neitelo over, hugged her (making Neitelo feel extremely uncomfortable), and passed on his commands. Darksong did likewise, minus the hug and the victorious tone of the smile. She then burst into tears and held onto Sunaero for support, but still smiled. She balanced herself on the rail, and after a while, Sunaero flew back to her perch on the top of the bridge.
The referee scribbled furiously on his pad, then stopped abruptly and made a call to the another fellow referee information on how to handle a situation. The two trainers looked at each other, each thinking,
This can't be good. A while later, the referee put away his cell phone and took out his pen again; after just a few moments of writing, the pen ran dry. He walked to his bag and drew some green ink, then continued his calculations. After what seemed to be forever, he put the cap back on his pen and announced the start of the round.

Round 16 begin!
Sunaero flew down a bit and fired a beam of darkness towards Neitelo. It struck hard and true, even though she was quite far away, and Neitelo rolled on the pavement before dusting herself off and firing a beam of Psychic power which struck Sunaero as she flew up. Sunaero was steered off-course because of the powerful beam of energy stored, of which just one exceeded the damage cap.
She turned back and fired another beam of darkness, part of which hit Neitelo. Then, she turned back to roost on her pole, but not without another pink psychic ray hitting her, although this one seemed to do nothing of significance.
Neitelo fluttered onto the handrail; after the two powerful but taxing attacks, she was feeling quite tired and could use a rest. She seemed to forget, however, that there was a layer of ice on the bar. She slipped and fell onto the primary vehicle deck. The referee, seeing that, waved his flags to indicate the end of the round.
Round 16 end!
