PTA Battlefest: Sapphire Bracket

[Esprit15]

"So, seeing as I'm clearly on the losing end of things, how about actually lightening up?"

"Really? Hm, I suppose that could make for a nice combo in a contest. Toss up a Safeguard and then follow with a Brick Break."

[BluesEclipse]

Tarox blinks at your comment, before saying, "Oros, perhaps you'd like to demonstrate... Brick Break!" The Druddigon ignores its trainer's order, however, still enraptured by Nakir's applause. After a moment, it blinks sheepishly as it realizes the situation.

Oros lets out a final cry as the dark aura pulses, felling the great beast. Tarox nods at you and says, "You made the effort, at least - but defense alone won't win battles. Something you may want to remember, boy." Before you can respond, a flash of light whisks you back to the airship, and he heads off.
