Her heart is heavy, heavy with exhaustion and heavy with sadness. [break][break]

She had called Cait with a warning she was coming to challenge her gym, but the underlying message was that she needed this, she needed an outlet to blow off steam. She needed to battle against someone she trusted, someone she knew could stand across the field and be comforting but silent.[break][break]

Cait had been the one to encourage her to propose, to go that extra step. She had assured her that it would go fine, that all she had to do was be confident. But it hadn't been fine, and now there was an awkward gap between her and Alex, a gap that she didn't know how to fix.[break][break]

She had hurt him by asking to take their relationship to the next step. And in turn, she had hurt herself as well.[break][break]

Unfortunately, her temper had been unfiltered as she fought her way through her friend's maze. She had already been through it before on the occasions she visited Cait to drop off her Pokemon for the afternoon or just to sit for a cup of tea. But today, on a day where her nerves were shot and she was angry and sad and full of turmoil, she had become lost.[break][break]

When she finally found her way out, she was exhausted and her hands were shaking, but she was ready.

aerodactyl : rock head - ice fang | sky drop | super sonic | roar | crunch | rock slide

mauville's leader stood on her side of the circular stone field, her expression kept plain as she eyed stormy from a distance.

the proposal hadn't gone well - not in the least.

cait had naturally assumed that alex would accept, the likelihood of him rejecting stormy having been reassuringly small from her perspective.

because who in their right mind would deny her hand in marriage?

'i should've told her to wait,' she thought. 'i should've told her it wasn't a good idea.'

it was a mistake that she'd regret for sometime.

"the rules are simple," she began, unceremoniously. "this will be a non-traditional six on six and there will be no switching."

her gaze clashed with stormy's as an aerodactyl descended from above, the fossil pokemon's eyes remarkably cold as she regarded lavaridge's leader whilst maintaining a contemplative silence.

"you're very welcome to begin, stormy."

Stormy takes a deep breath, eyeing up Cait's Aerodactyl as it stared back at her with cold and calculating eyes. It's wings carry it down, closer to the field so that it might be in sight.[break][break]

Her gaze shifts back to her friend as she introduces the rules of the match. A tight nod indicates that she agrees, and she reaches for her own pokeball. She reveals a trusted friend, her Skarmory she had caught when she first arrived in Hoenn.[break][break]

The metal bird squeals in anticipation, as if waking up from a slumber and fully prepared for anything.[break][break]

"Thanks, Cait."[break][break]

She says this stiffly, and then nods to her companion to start the battle. The Skarmory has locked eyes with her fellow flyer, but has no intention of holding back. She's been dying for a good fight.[break][break]

With another shriek, the metal bird flies directly for her opponent, daring him to match her in speed and in the center of the battlefield. Should he get close, her wings would harden and shapen, aiming to cut him down with a STEEL WING.[break][break]

"do as you will, aerodactyl."

cait dipped her head and the living fossil would release a low rumble of acknowledgement. sharp eyes had settled upon their chosen foe at the moment of its summoning, the winged beast gauging the shimmering armor with an analytical sweep of her gaze. the blades which served as its wings drew her focus momentarily, and she'd be forced to acknowledge that the skarmory would not make for easy prey in the least.

so she decided to test the waters, reminded of her frequent skirmishes with the pokemon whom occupied her mistress's establishment. charging recklessly often resulted in her being so thoroughly outplayed that it was embarrassing. so she'd maintain her distance for now, merely raising herself further within the sky as she kept an eye on the steel-type.

this adjustment of position and observation period would last only for a handful of seconds before she conjured a rock slide; the attack manifesting all around her in the form of energy-imbued rocks.

'she's maintaining a good amount of space between herself and skarmory,' cait noted, visibly intrigued. 'i wonder what she's up to.'

aerodactyl made a small game out of abruptly flinging the hefty rocks toward the steel-type, a noise of amusement emerging from her maw as she managed to maintain some semblance of control over the attack and the trajectory of the rocks as one after another were flung.

Skarmory is surprised but not discouraged that her opponent doesn't meet her in the middle. She watches with curiosity as the fossil Pokemon instead avoids her, maintaining a safe distance away.[break][break]

She, too, waits until something happens. She'd never encountered a rock-type flier before, and she scarcely skirmished against the other fliers in Stormy's possession. Their flames were so hot and fighting them was always a chore.[break][break]

But to witness another Pokemon appear at least slightly wary of her, enough to be cautious and not bold, was intriguing.[break][break]

Stormy would watch this transpire, wondering herself what the Aerodactyl was up to.[break][break]

Skarmory maintained her position in the air, biding her time and eventually watching with excitement as her opponent began to conjure rock slides all around her. This enabled her to use her speed and shed some excess weight. To her, this was practice.[break][break]

The metal bird would use AUTOTOMIZE, dropping metal feathers like the down of a mother bird, effectively making her faster and lighter. She'd swoop in and out from under the rocks, glancing her metal wings against some. Where at times it appeared she was buried, she would push through it and come out just a little faster. [break][break]

Dirt scuffs the metallic sheen on her wings, but for the most part, she appears unaffected by the attack. She actually appears even hungrier for a battle.[break][break]

In response, or maybe as a taunt, Skarmory imitates the Aerodactyl's attack in a similar but unique way. Several blade feathers from her wings shoot into the ground, acting as SPIKES. Where one leaves her body, another immediately regrows to replace it. [break][break]

aerodactyl was admittedly impressed by the display, observing with great interest as the metal bird deftly avoided a vast majority of the rocks she had conjured. eventually she'd bring her assault to an almost immediate halt, the rock slide forcing her to remain idle as well as vulnerable so that she could properly focus on manipulating her projectiles. she readily abandoned her original tactic, excited at the mere prospect of meeting her foe in battle.

so she wielded her own impressive speed against the skarmory, beating harshly at the air as the spikes came into being. one very nearly made its way into her eye, but a slight adjustment in position and the tilting of her wings caused it to fly harmlessly overhead. her body was partly battered by the assault, the prickly pieces of steel jabbing relentlessly at her solid form.

but it did little to slow her, the pokemon not at all deterred by the pain as she sought to close the distance between herself and the bird. once she felt as though she was within range, she released a shrill noise, the bewildering sound sharp and piercing as she sought to administer a super sonic. she'd much rather render her foe weak in mind so that she could have a better chance at more easily dismantling her defenses.

Stormy's eyes narrow, brows wrinkling together as she witnesses her Skarmory not take immediate advantage of the immobile Aerodactyl. Her Pokemon seems content to continue fighting, and perhaps it's a relief that she isn't putting her everything into this fight.[break][break]

The fossil Pokemon stops it's rock slides, instead, turning to beeline it for the waiting Skarmory. Some spikes glance off the beast's skin, and the flying-type narrowly dodges one spiraling towards her eye. The rock Pokemon, like Skarmory, came out of the attack relatively unscathed and unaffected. [break][break]

Her spikes did, however, land in the ground below which would ultimately cause issues for the next Pokemon to arrive.[break][break]

With a screech, the Skarmory relishes the moment she can appropriately meet her opponent in combat. This little love-dance the two had engaged in was growing tired, she wanted to sink her talons into something.[break][break]

Unfortunately, she was wide open for the confuse ray that the Aerodactyl propelled onto her, and for a moment the steel bird fumbles in flight, wings feeling clumsy and unfamiliar to her in her confusion. For a moment, she plummets from the sky, unable to extend her wings to catch herself.

With a great thud, she lands on the ground, wind knocked out of her and her brain still rattled with confusion, her vision blurry and unclear.[break][break]

the dual-type released a joyous cry that was naturally edged with malice, ultimately aware of her success and what it could possibly entail.

'an easy victory,' aerodactyl thought, pleased.

but there was always that chance of a quick recovery - of her strategy failing to hamper the steel-type for as long as she liked. she needed to administer as much damage as she could within the allotted time, or everything would be for naught. aerodactyl's eyes flicked toward her mistress, the young woman in the midst of determining how well she performed.

with a piercing cry she dove, the fossil intending to bear her weight down upon her foe and shove her into the harsh stone of the field. if successful, she'd lunge her head to snap at the skarmory's well-armored throat with a crunch.

Skarmory remains unable to get off the ground, her head aches and she feels as though she and the world is vibrating. With a frustrated scream, she attempts to spread her wings, fanning out her steel feathers as she waits for her attacker.[break][break]

Of course, when the Aerodactyl does eventually fly down to take advantage of her downed and confused state, she is unable to defend herself. There are mirror images and blurry renditions of her foe, too many for her to properly defend herself from.[break][break]

Fortunately, as the fossil Pokemon cries out and latches its teeth around her neck, she gains some semblance of control.[break][break]

The metal of her neck dents and causes her pain, that much being evident by the way she squeals in pain. Her feathers wings flap mercilessly, however, intending to buffet and beat back her opponent with STEEL WING[break][break]

Should she manage to lift the weight from her neck, she would scramble away to recover from her confusion. In her attempt to defend herself, she also manages to injure her wings in the struggle.[break][break]

their battle was very quickly devolving into a close quarters skirmish; eloquence replaced by the barbarity of combat which involved the usage of one's teeth or claws. aerodactyl experienced that familiar surge of malice once again, a dramatic uptick occurring the moment the steel wing scored across her chest and the upper portion of her slightly rounded belly.

it stung terribly, but she used the pain to motivate her coarse of action. she roared in the skarmory's face, her spittle flying and her teeth bared as she sought to fill her opponent's ears with terrible noise. but she'd eventually retreat several paces as the skarmory continued to strike out, a sneer tugging at her features as she eyed her bewildered foe.

with a rumble she'd hastily conjure another rock slide, maintaining her position on the ground as she focused on the simple act of launching multiple rocks at her foe. there was some advantage to being so close, but there was the usual trade off of remaining mostly immobile for the duration of the attack.

Literal spit slapped against her face, dripping down her angled cheeks and sliding off of her smooth features. She blinked at the savagery of the motion, shaking her head once to rid herself of the saliva before almost chuckling at her opponent. [break][break]

She repositioned herself briefly, her thoughts still murky and confused with the lasting effects of the Aerodactyl's mind games. Fortunately, she had managed to score a blow against the rocky beast, granting her enough time to catch her breath and prepare for Aerodactyl's next attack.[break][break]

The bird's roar deafens her, however, and she isn't fully prepared for the rock slide that befell her. Just as she hopped up into the air to take to the sky and regain distance, she would be buried under debris and rocks. Some of the smaller ones glanced off of her wings and back, scraping her up but acting like pebbles. A much heavier rock landed on the end of her wing, and in her confused state, she was unable to fly away.[break][break]

With a scream, her metallic and angry voice would clearly express how displeased she was with this situation, and would visibly struggle against her jail.[break][break]

Stormy would take a deep breath, unsure what to do in this situation. She had been drilled, constantly, by Fernando to make sure to maintain distance between Pokemon. A downed Pokemon is a dead Pokemon.[break][break]

However, on the assumption Aerodactyl would take advantage of the situation, Skarmory would wait till the last moment to AUTOTOMIZE, dropping or shedding her feathers caught under the rock slide and increasing her speed. Within a second, she would be freed from her trap and putting distance between her and her opponent.[break][break]

"Well done, Skarmory!"[break][break]

it was an impressive display.

and that much could not be denied - not in the least.

the skarmory had succeeded at the task of overcoming its confusion, taking advantage of aerodactyl's stationary position whilst deftly avoiding the rocks that had originated from the female fossil. she had even left shimmering feathers of steel in her wake, the display grand as she wielded autotomize expertly.

'i remember that move,' cait thought, her eyebrows arched high upon her forehead. 'aggron knows it. stormy's done a good job keeping that in her bird's arsenal.'

her aerodactyl immediately halted her failed attempt, crying out in frustration at her quarry's escape as she proceeded to fall into a tantrum.

'mine,' she cried. 'you're mine!'

there was almost a possessive edge to her tone as she abandoned reason in favor of following her raw instincts as a predator. she relied upon her speed as well as the sharpness of her teeth - which were both impressive in and of itself. her fangs were bared, her mouth closing around air as she sought to snap at the skarmory's single tail feather; her intentions fairly obvious as she sought to inevitably deliver a crunch.

Skarmory speeds past her opponent, her wings light and her talons clenched as she manages to slip out of the way of the Aerodactyl's last attack. However, her breath is coming harder and faster and she's growing tired. The training sessions against other members of Stormy's team were usually won quickly and efficiently, this was the first time she had been set up against an incredibly strong opponent.[break][break]

While she hovers in the air, anticipating her opponents next move, she is surprised to hear the fossil Pokemon screech in anger, berating her ears with the horrible noise. The familiar glint of her teeth in the sun is blinding, and she finds herself unable to get out of the way in time. Perhaps she is still debiliated a bit by her previous confusion.[break][break]

It was also out of character for the Aerodactyl to merely spring on her like a terrorized predator. Earlier in the match it had been Skarmory acting aggressive and territorial, displaying predatory instinct over practiced demonstration. The roles had reversed and Skarmory was sorely unprepared for it. She screams in anger and pain as the bird's razor-sharp teeth sink into her tail feather. The sheer force of her jaw strength leaves dents in the steel and, try as she might, she cannot shake her grip.[break][break]

"Skarmory, do it now!"[break][break]

With as much downward force as she can muster, Skarmory pushes the wind under her wings to propel her, and by association, Aerodactyl into the air. Her entire body begins to glow a bright yellow as she focuses her energy into her next attack. Praying that her lightened body due to the couple times she had shed her feathers was enough to make her fast enough, Skarmory would eventually dive straight toward the ground at a breakneck pace. [break][break]

Both she, and hopefully Aerodactyl if she was still crunching down on her tail, would slam into the ground full-tilt as a result of Skarmory's BRAVE BIRD.[break][break]

Stormy would block her eyes and mouth as the debris settled and she fixed her attention on the aftermath of the collision.[break][break]

persian ♀ : fur coat - power gem, dark pulse, slash, night slash, screech, play rough

the field trembled ever so slightly at the moment of impact, her aerodactyl having been forcibly introduced to stone as a direct result of the skarmory's clever maneuvering; the fossil's own rage having blinded her utterly in that instance. she was rendered limp and unable to continue, cait's gaze affixing upon her limp form before she gestured.

"move her, please," cait instructed.

one of her numerous psychics would grab hold of the limp pokemon, grasping her through the well-practiced art of telekinesis and promptly spiriting her away someplace else for healing.

"persian!"

a feline sporting a purple-hued coat made their way onto the field, settling before their mistress and curiously eyeing the skarmory as they did so.

"try your best out there, girl," she said. "power gem!"

the pokemon's shimmering gem adopted a bright glow, a powerful light manifesting and shooting itself toward the weakened flying-type within the span of a few seconds.
