And this...is my necktie.
rock-ground looks slightly more wary than his sister as he plucks his second (and final) Pokeball from his belt, although he does have a more casual air. Steelbird, metallic feathers glinting in the intense light.
Both participants remain on the ground for the first bout of (repetitive) attacks. Fluffy-noodle decides to take charge early on by opening up with the same move he opened up last round with: sending a giant burst of fire at Steelbird, who becomes extremely pained and irritated. He responds with a little less dignity than he should have, but nonetheless charges at Fluffy-noodle, wings glowing deeply. However, the Aerodactyl simply gets up and hobbles a bit, and Steelbird overshoots him, now in a rage.
<Steelbird: -22H, -4E><Fluffy-noodle: -0H, -5E>
Fluffy-noodle remains stationery, now that Steelbird's not three feet away, and shoots another stream of flames in his direction. Steelbird simply drops to the floor noiselessly, as he is too annoyed even for words. His metal begins to sag and clump as the fire tries (with moderate success) to melt off Steelbird's wing. Steelbird responds with frightening speed, slamming his hardened wing into Fluffy-noodle's face. Fluffy-noodle's skin is torn up, and he finds that he can't defend with his face any more. Not, of course, that he wanted to originally.
<Steelbird: -22H, -4E><Fluffy-noodle: -20H, -5E>
The final jet of fire for the round comes flying out of Fluff-noodle's mouth, clearly moving faster under the influence of the strong sun. It singes Steelbird, but a strange thing happens. After the jet has singed him to a certain extent, a magical shield seems to descend upon him, protecting him from more damage. Not one to complain about events like this, the Skarmory rams into Steelbird for the final time, taking advantage of his adversary's weakened defenses.
Steelbird: -6H, -4E><Fluffy-noodle: -19H, -5E>
Arena and Battle Notes:
-Skarmory's Steel Wing was both a critical hit and lowered defense on the second action. Kinda makes up for the fact that he hit the cap on the third.
-The sun remains shining, and will remain as such for 8 more actions.
-I get the odd feeling that something's not right here, so if you see a screwup let me know and I'll fix it.
-rock-ground attacks first next round.

Defense -1
Fluffy-noodle, grimacing at his opponent, bares his teeth in a menacing grin. Despite his wounds he still feels like the superior Pokémon; really, how could you ever hope to best a fossil that’s been around since forever? The skarmory’s crazy, that’s for sure.
His thoughts are brought to a screeching halt as something sharp hits him on the back. He spins around, whacking whatever it was with his tail and sending it sprawling across the ground, but his back still aches. It appears to be – a mankey? Fluffy-noodle curses under his breath. Damn monkeys. He turns to look back at the skarmory as the mankey picks itself up and jumps back into the foliage.
Annoyed, the aerodactyl’s chest begins to heat up and small tongues of fire can be seen between his razor-sharp teeth. He opens his mouth to release a scalding hot burst of flames in his opponents’ direction, the bright sunshine increasing the strength of the already hot attack. The skarmory, suitably frightened, is too slow to dodge. The fire envelopes the armoured bird for several moments before dying out, leaving a somewhat scorched Pokémon to stare at his attacker. Luckily, he’s not burned, but that’s only a small consolation.
Flapping his metallic wings slowly to shake off the ash, Steelbird glares at the hated aerodactyl. Though he’s in much pain, it isn’t nearly enough to stop him from exacting his revenge. He runs at maximum speed towards the fossil Pokémon, his wings shining even brighter in the bright sunlight, and swerves sideways just inches before Fluffy-noodle – slashing the aerodactyl’s across the chest with his sharp, metallic wing. The aerodactyl screeches in pain as Steelbird quickly jumps backwards, moving away from his opponent.
Steelbird jumps several feet, creating a suitable distance, before covering himself with his wings. He’s more hurt than tired at the moment, and he agrees with his trainers’ command. Closing his eyes, he focuses and creates a semi-transparent barrier around him. It’s only occasionally visible, reflecting in the bright sunlight.
Fluffy-noodle, for one, doesn’t seem to care about his opponents’ endeavor. He glances around for any mankey and, apparently satisfied, allows his eyes to close halfway. He too isn’t so tired, but a break is always appreciated. He can feel his muscles relaxing, and his mind calming down; he’d gotten so worked up so quickly, he hadn’t quite realized.
His break was short-lived, however. As the skarmory’s protection faltered and broke, the aerodactyl prepared another attack. His menacing grin forewarned the devastating nature the flamethrower would have; and indeed, as the flames broke loose from the aerodactyl’s jaws and sprawled across the skarmory, Steelbird could feel himself nearing breaking point. The constant assaults were getting to him, and fast.
The fire died down fast, even with the sun aiding it, leaving a scorched skarmory in its place. Steelbird panted from heat and exhaustion; clearly, he didn’t have much left in him. But he’d fight till the very end.
He glanced around quickly before he raised his wings and began to flap them powerfully. Fluffy-noodle dug his claws into the marshy undergrowth as the powerful gust pushed him backwards; it seemed more powerful than the skarmory’s small wings should manage. And as he continued to flap, sticky, gewy mud began to lift from the floor and fly through the air, drying slowly in the powerful sun. Startled, Steelbird hesitated; he was unsure if this was what his trainer had in mind. But he quickly continued, flapping more powerfully and coaxing more mud from the jungle floor. Soon it was a veritable storm of mud, so thick it was nearly impossible to see through. Though Steelbird didn’t really appreciate it, Fluffy-noodle felt rather relieved as the mud landed on his rocky exterior, soothing his wounds.

Grinning mercilessly, Fluffy-noodle coughs up a few more flames, ready to scorch his opponent. Despite the mud flying about, the aerodactly can still see the skarmory’s whereabouts; it’s a bit harder than before but the birds’ shiny armour makes it easier than expected. And so when the aerodactyl spits out an incredible burst of flames they fly true, burning mud into clay and skarmory into –
Nothing. The flames bounce off a protective shield, dying out quickly in the wet mud without anything to prey on. Despite his achievement, Steelbird winces as he lets the Protect shield down; holding it up against such a strong attack is tiring. Still, it’s highly preferable to being struck by another flamethrower.
The mankey and primeape watch on, apparently uninterested in attacking through such a strange weather condition. They call out to both opponents, crying out insults and cheers simultaneously. Neither combatant pays the monkeys much attention, though.
Still grinning despite his attacks’ failure, Fluffy-noodle spits out some smoke, followed by a wispy tongue of flames. The cooling affect of the mud against his rocky skin doesn’t aid his attack, but he manages to unleash a flamethrower strong enough to scare any opponent, let alone a steel-typed one. The aerodactyl doesn’t even mind if the attack doesn’t hit its’ target; it’s pretty damned cool just burning the mud, and making his opponent waste energy on repeated Protect shields is fine by him.
But it does hit. Though the flames seem to flinch against a shield for a second, they burst through, eating away at the metallic bird. Steelbird screams in agony, falling to the ground as the flames wash away at him. Though the mudstorm soon puts the fire out, Steelbird doesn’t get up; his shiny armour appears permanently charred and his eyes are closed tight.
Fluffy-noodle grins to the cheers of the mankey and primeape. He knows he’s won, and he knows he deserves it. What kind of foolish Pokémon would go against him, the Pokémon that time itself can’t take down?
