[ if this weren't a part of his job, he might have felt a bit guilty at battling with his full strength against a trainer that clearly wasn't ready to take on a champion. but he wouldn't be giving him the proper respect as a fellow trainer if he didn't give this his all. besides, battles like this were learning opportunities.
the feint attack is a fairly powerful one from such a small body, but skarmory's base defenses far outweigh sneasel's attack stat. the hit doesn't leave the bird unscathed, but it doesn't take long to shake it off once more - his HP might be down, but his armour remains unpenetrated. the gleam in the steel-type's eyes looks proud, and he knows that he has this battle won. ]
Well taken, Skarmory.

Let's finish this - Air Slash, from above!
[ and he will obey without question, taking to the skies to flap his wings and rain blades of air from the sky. ]
