[color=limegreen]Round 8, and both trainers still seem ready for more. They shout their attack choices to the pokemon who quickly nod back.
Ready for a full-on assault, Skarmory flaps his large metallic wings and takes to the air. He flies gracefully, his wings cutting through the air like knives as he builds up momentum. While he does so, Molten simply sits there waiting for the correct moment. Now moving at blazing speed, and glowing faintly with energy, Skarmory turns toward Molten, squaking furiously. Molten just grins, as he concentrates, forming energy into a circular barrier around his body. As Skarmory flies toward the small fire type, wings pulled close to his body to decrease wind resistance, he notices the shield, but its far to late to try and avoid it now. He flies full force into the top of shield, nearly shattering it from the force of the blow. He manages to recover back into the air, though a bit disoriented. Molten winced upon contact, having to struggle to keep the shield in tact under the huge blow.
Skarmory's attack over, Molten lets the energy shield dissipate with a sigh of relief. Now back in control of his flight, Skarmory quickly turns around, hoping to get an attack in on Molten before he can recover fully. The bird focuses metal energy into his wings, glinting in the sunlight as flies back to the magma slug. As he twists in the air, his wing slices through Molten's back, splitting him down the middle for a second before he reforms himself. He grunts at the suprisingly quick attack, but wastes no time countering. Slugma exhales a stream of flames, albeit much smaller than usual because he hasn't yet recovered from Overheat. Never the less, the flames hit Skarmory dead-on, scorching his back as he squaks in pain.
Still determined, Skarmory again turns around and flies toward Slugma. The fire type slowly slithers his way over to the cogs still present on the arena floor, hoping to use them as projectiles again. As Skarmory reaches his target, he doesn't slash him with his wings, but rather he lands on the ground next to him. Quickly focusing his flying energy, he creates a spinning vortex on his beak, and then slams it hard into Molten. The spinning scrambles the magma pokemon, splattering bits of magma all around. The bits come together to form a Slugma, who quickly puts his head under the cogs, tossing each one at Skarmory. The steel type shields himself with his wings, but still winces as each one hits.
By this time, Skarmory's steel hide is quite dented and fried, and he is clearly starting to feel the strain of battle. Molten isn't in such hot shape either (Hot shape, fire pokemon :biggrin: ), as the poison mixed with his body once again burns his very core. [\color]
