The arena remains blank for several minutes as the referee wracks his creativity-devoid brain for another generic arena idea to draw. After a brief consultation with one of the battlers, he decides to scrawl something fitting for what's probably going to be the last round of this battle- a rectangle. Standing at his spot to one side of the huge quadrilateral, he pops the lid back onto the pen, causing the desert of emptiness to transform into a floating metallic platform in the middle of an empty, dark void. The Pokémon get ready to finish the battle, or at least get rather closer towards finishing it than they had been previously.
(Arena)
As always, Shawn is first to act, and though not feeling especially tired, he follows his trainer's directions and settles down on the platform to chillax for a short while. He'll need to get his strength up for two actions of serious asskicking. His opponent, meanwhile, has rather less peaceful intentions, fired up from her dance last round and having developed rather a taste for giraffe. She jets across the platform and leaps onto her foe, jaws wide open, and once again sinks them into Shawn's flesh. The Girafarig is as unappreciative as ever of this, especially when it becomes a rude interruption to his naptime; however it takes far less effort than usual to dislodge the ravenous puppydog, and Ammy is soon flung to the ground, panting and wheezing in exhaustion. However her jaws managed to leave another nasty wound on her opponent's flank, cranking up the pain factor even further.
Shawn snarls (or whatever giraffes do instead of snarling) at Ammy, determined to keep her teeth off him for good. He trots towards her, limping slightly from the pain, and suddenly gets the idea to milk his injuries for all they're worth. He begins to limp heavily, practically crawling towards his opponent, dragging his back leg and groaning in pain at the top of his voice. Only exhaustion and a sadistic fascination with her opponent's pain stops Ammy taking advantage and rushing in to attack first. As Shawn draws near, a tiny smirk cracks on his face; he's got Ammy right in the palm of his, uh, hoof. After a few more exaggeratedly painful, lumbering steps, he suddenly lifts his front hoof and brings it crashing down on Ammy's skull. The Riolu yelps in astonishment as her foe pulversises her entire body relentlessly, stomping on every available inch of her body over and over as she whimpers in terror and agony. Satisfied she's had the beating of a lifetime, Shawn deals her a final kick and struts away. Ammy, however, isn't putting up with that sort of treatment. Despite every cell in her body trying to convince her to just drop off to sleep right there, she struggles off the ground, struggling to catch her balance as a result of her disoriented, tired, and beaten-up state. Then, with a final snarl, she lunges at her opponent with her jaws open once more. Shawn knows what's coming but is too injured to get out of the way, and Ammy's teeth tear into him for the umpteenth time. He begins the routine flail-until-she-lets-go approach, but it takes rather less effort to fling her away this time. In fact almost as soon as Shawn begins to struggle, Ammy's jaws slide effortlessly out of him. He turns around and limps up to her body, which is lying on the surface of the platform lifeless apart from the steady rise and fall of her chest as she breathes. In fact, she's not even breathing; she's
snoring. The referee rules that Ammy is too exhausted to continue the battle, and declares RandomTyphoon the winner. Shawn gives a delighted whinny and gallops over to his trainer, while Dwagie wordlessly recalls her slumbering Riolu, hopefully feeling terrible, the heartless slave-driver. The arena returns to a blank white void once again, and as Typh finishes congratulating her Girafarig and returning him to his Pokéball, the trainers begin to wonder how exactly they're to fet home...
