ROUND FIFTY-EIGHT

After a brief delay, the battle of Blademaster vs. ASB continues with Lynne summoning her serpent pokemon, Opal. The slender dragon hisses at her foe, but Rawk's not intimidated, no-no. The first round of this battle begins with Opal closing her eyes and focusing on a silvery shine that envelopes her body -- but as she does so, the Hawk caws and caws as loud as he can, in hopes to catch her off-guard. The roar is somewhat successful -- Opal remains protected, but the safeguard won't last nearly as long [ -6PP, Safeguard Opal / -3PP Rawk Hawk ].

The dragonair shrugs off her bout of confusion long enough to summon a large rain cloud to appear overhead... the stadium ceiling. Almost as if they hadn't learned anything at all, the rain starts pelting against the roof of the battlefield, and no one is soaked [ -4PP Opal ]. Rawk smirks, and takes advantage of his free hit by firing off a concussive beam of ghost energy. The beam collides with the mentally unaware dragonair, knocking her to the ground [ -7HP Opal / -5PP Rawk Hawk ].

No longer feeling embarrassment over her previous falter, Opal's long, slender tail shimmers an aqua blue color as she shimmies her way towards Rawk Hawk, who lies in wait. WHAM!, Opal slashes her foe with her watery appendage, dealing great damage [ -12HP Rawk Hawk / -8PP Opal ]. However, before she can make her escape, Rawk latches onto the tail and flings the dragon pokemon far away -- into a wall [ -18HP Opal / -10PP Rawk Hawk ].

ROUND FIFTY-NINE

Opal begins by revitalizing her safeguard; with no distractions this time, it is easily able to last for it's entire duration [ -6PP, Safeguard Opal ]. Meanwhile, Rawk speeds over to her side of the arena and crouches down for half a second before jettisoning her upward [ -5HP Opal / -5PP Rawk Hawk ]. The two climb high into the air for a few seconds before coming right back down. Rawk lands gracefully on his feet, almost as if he had rehearsed this beforehand; Opal, meanwhile, hits the ground with a loud thud [ -4HP Opal ], losing part of her majesty along the way.

Rawk continues the assault by slamming his fists into the ground, creating an earthquake [ -10HP Opal / -8PP Rawk Hawk ]. Opal squeals out before her blue eyes become darker. Suddenly, the sounds of rain tapping against the roof and windows of the arena become more violent as water crashes through. A sudden flood occurs, much to Opal's delight. Rawk suddenly gets washed away by the downpour almost [ -14HP Rawk Hawk / -7PP Opal ]. Not finished yet, Opal rides the waves and hits Rawk again, this time shooting upward into his torso, painfully [ -12HP Rawk Hawk / -6PP Opal ].

It takes a few moments, but the rain finally lets up and the arena becomes no longer flooded. The waterlogged fire pokemon shakes off the wetness before throwing himself forward, jabbing Opal with his stoney elbow [ -10HP Opal / -8PP Rawk Hawk ].

ROUND SIXTY

Round six-zero begins with Opal batting her eyes and cooing in Rawk's direction, hypnotically suggesting to him that she is, in fact, the dragon he wants to spend the rest of his life (or at least, this night) with. But Rawk closes his eyes and plugs his ears, going "La-la-la," making her flirtacious advances meaningless [ -2PP Opal / -3PP Rawk Hawk ].

Annoyed at the failed attempt, and quite disheartened that her wooing attempts failed, Opal charges at the firery chicken with a rush of draconic energy. Rawk merely watches in awe, mentally jotting down the attack. BAM!, the dragonair collides into Rawk Hawk [ -10HP Rawk Hawk / -7PP Opal ], who proceeds to to perform the same attack on her. The attack causes more harm to the dragon pokemon at a higher energy cost to Rawk [ -15HP Opal / -10PP Rawk Hawk ].

Opal, dazed, squeals once more and her eyes get darker. Knowing what to expect, Rawk speeds over to Opal and uppercuts her once more [ -5HP Opal / -5PP Rawk Hawk ], shooting up into the air just fast enough to avoid the rushing tidal wave [ -7PP Opal ]. Rawk Hawk latches onto one of the rafters as Opal dives into the water, safely avoiding damage from the fall.

The water once more leaves the arena, but Rawk Hawk climbs into the rafters -- Opal glares at him from the floor.

ROUND SIXTY-ONE

Sensing her end very soon, Opal closes her eyes, ignoring her safeguard, and begins resting to ease her wounds [ +10HP, -10PP, SLP Opal ]. As she slumbers, Rawk fires an advantageous blast of fighting energy that easily takes back all the health Opal just recovered [ -12HP Opal / -8PP Rawk Hawk ].

Rawk once more continues the attacks, this time slamming into the sleeping snake with his rocky elbow [ -10HP Opal / -8PP Rawk Hawk ]. Opal merely murmurs to herself before slamming the Hawk with her watery tail once again [ -14HP Rawk Hawk / +10HP, -10PP Opal ].

Rawk pulls himself back together, but before he can attack a third time, Opal begins snoring loudly, interrupting his movement entirely [ FLINCH ]. The round ends as Rawk shakes off the attack [ -4HP Rawk Hawk / +10HP, -10PP Opal ].

ROUND SIXTY-TWO

With his foe asleep, Rawk is easily able to plan his attacks wisely. As he focuses on his next attack, he is distracted by Opal's loud snoring [ -4HP Rawk Hawk ], and loses his concentration. Ignoring the angry screams of his trainer, Rawk instead blasts his dragon foe with a beam of fighting energy that easily entangles her [ -12HP Opal / -10PP Rawk Hawk ]. He then clasps his hands to his ears hoping to avoid the dragonair's painful snoring [ -4HP Rawk Hawk ]. The Hawk ends round 62 by tackling Opal fiercely -- a blast of energy follows up, knocking the snoozing Opal into a wall [ -15HP Opal / -13PP Rawk Hawk ].

Opal's eyes open, and she pulls herself back together before slinking her watery tail into the Hawk [ -14HP Rawk Hawk / -8PP Opal ].

ROUND SIXTY-FOUR

Rawk Hawk recovers his lost strength and Opal is replaced by Grumpig, a... grumpig. Before Grumpig can even think to prepare his attack, however, Rawk starts pummeling him with insults, driving him mad [ -3PP Rawk Hawk / +20% Atk, +25% Con Grumpig ]. Grumpig angrily throws his body forward, slamming into Rawk with his mass [ -7HP Rawk Hawk / -5PP Grumpig ].

After the tackle, Grumpig cools off and keeps his mind at ease, effectively canceling out the effects of the previous "attack" [ -5PP, -20% Atk, -25% Con, +10% SpA, +10% SpD Grumpig ]. Rawk takes this opportunity to come at the psychic pig with his talons trickling with dark energy. SLASH!, the bird cripples the unmoving pig, knocking him to the ground with a critical hit [ -14HP Grumpig / -6PP Rawk Hawk ].

Second verse, same as the first -- this time with a ghostly flavor. Rawk Hawk once more slices Grumpig with his ghastly claws, again knocking Grumpig to the ground with yet another critical hit [ -14HP Grumpig / -6PP Rawk Hawk ]. With two wild gashes on his torso now, Grumpig decides that enough is enough and pins the Hawk down with his mind and sends shivering shockwaves to his psyche [ -15HP Rawk Hawk / -5PP Grumpig ].
