Status: OH MY GOD WE'RE ON A FREAKING DRACO METEOR MAN
------------------------------
The skies of Asber are certainly something to behold, what with battles taking place on the backs of excessively large metal dragons and even larger anchovy pizzas soaring through space, so nobody really bats an eye when Dragon decides to hitch a ride on that massive fiery meteor over there, on fast track to a collision with the earth that's bound to have dire consequences for all the unfortunate souls that happen to be nearby. That minor inconvenience aside, though, it sure is a cheaper and more efficient means of transportation than having to hold down the B button all the time. The referee eyes the two fittingly-Dragon-type combatants, thinking of starting a surely-lucrative new business venture...
Robin steps forward without hesitation, armed with her very best insult. "Macaroons? Gross. Macarons are where it's at, yo." Macaroon, unskilled in the art of discerning homophones, has absolutely zero idea what this is supposed to mean, but she gets the feeling that she's supposed to be mad, so she just goes with it. It kind of fits the atmosphere, after all. And so the fires of rage are stoked in Macaroon's heart, burning fiercely as the flames erupting from the heart of the Draco Meteor itself. So righteous is her fury, so true her cause, that all else pales into insignificance next to her desire to carve open her opponent like a delicious roast turkey. The world fades away from around her as she cuts a graceful arc through the skies, intent on her prey... and faceplants with shocking force straight into the surface of the meteor, nowhere near where Robin is standing. In her defense, that small protrusion from the ground looked kind of like a tusk.
Her opponent gives her no time to regain her bearings. The Axew lets loose her idea of a roar for the ages (those listening would describe it as a pathetic, sort of high-pitched mewling) that echoes mightily through the craters of the meteor, surely striking fear into the hearts of all taking shelter within. And then she waits. And her trainer waits, and the referee waits, and her opponent's trainer waits, but Macaroon is too busy counting the stars swirling around her head to really notice. Anticlimactic silence reigns as another, much smaller meteor, sputtering much less impressive wisps of flame, goes whizzing clear past all of them, disappearing unremarkably into the clouds below.
As the three trainers share awkward looks of second-hand embarrassment, Macaroon, having been completely oblivious to the entire affair, continues to find her heart filled with naught but rage at her opponent's impudence. So she satisfies herself by screaming internally at the top of her mental voice's internal lungs. It's so loud, in fact, that her anger somehow channels itself out of her oversized ears in the form of an non-stop, high-pitched whine that only Robin can actually hear. Keldeo looks on in bewilderment as Robin claps her hands over her ears, shaking her head in agony as she futilely struggles to block out the sound. Even after the screeching fades away, the Axew stumbles about in a daze, the horrid ringing still echoing in her ears. Throwing her head back, she attempts to drown out the noise with another mighty roar, raising her stubby arms up unimpressively to beckon to the skies. Again a flaming hunk of rock answers her call, more on point this time, preceded by an ominous whirring noise as it plummets from above to slam into the meteor carrying them. It's still much smaller, especially after Robin invested so much of her energy into summoning the last one, but certainly enough to pin Macaroon to the rock below, angry swathes of green draconic flame licking at her fur and wings. Macaroon screams and writhes on the spot, but finds herself completely unable to escape until the meteor burns itself out, covering the surface of
The Meteor with a layer of charred rubble.
When at last the flaming remains of the smaller meteor settle, Macaroon is finally able to pull herself upright again, the impact having jarred a part of her back to reality. Wings drooping from exhaustion, she wastes no time in summoning up some Dragon-type energy of her own, a snarl ripping out from her jaws as vibrant green flames spill out from the sides. She opens her mouth to let loose a stream of pure draconic fire that gushes forth toward Robin, searing the Axew's skin with waves of fiery energy that it picks up from the surface of The Meteor along the way. Robin stops, drops, and rolls on the ground in terror, batting uselessly at the flames with her tiny arms and blowing almost comically on them in a desperate attempt to put them out. The Meteor is unconcerned and does nothing to help; indeed, instead it belches out even more angry flames with a forceful bellow to engulf both battlers in its rage.

- I hate writing Swagger... I'm leaving in the version I wrote when I was half-awake for jokes. Enjoy!
- The first Draco Meteor rolled 100 to miss. Damn.
- For future reference, should the per-round Dragon-type damage ignore the cap? From your carefully-calculated damage cap I'm thinking maybe it shouldn't, but idk.
- Also, I applied the 1.5x Dragon-type modifier after STAB, but damage will be a bit different if you're intending me to apply it to final damage instead. Which should it be?
