Description

:iconpokeplatform:

Oh man.. usually I am so uncreative with stuff like this, but when the tournament started I knew I wanted in on it. It's pretty damn good practice for action poses, so I'm glad I joined in when I did vwv
And now to describe this thing..


Despite the slight disadvantage of being blind, Zander was feeling pretty confident about this first battle. Fighting was one thing he believed he could do very well and he didn't doubt that for a second.
That is until the actual battle began.
As soon as the start was announced, Zander was instantly bombarded by fast and very precise attacks from the nimble Scrafty. He tried his best to keep up, listening out for Zorro's steps so he could determine when to dodge, but he wasn't quite fast enough to avoid them all. Thanks to his clumsiness he ended up taking quite a few rough hits, including one particularily strong High Jump Kick to the stomach that sent him flying back. But he got right back on his feet each and every time, slowly becoming more and more aggrivated by the Scrafty's tactics with each hit. Especially when he couldn't even snap at Zorro with his sharp fangs because of his excellent speed.
It didn't take long for Zander to become so frustrated something in him completely snapped and, unfortunately for Zorro, just as he was about to be hit by a particularily strong Focus Punch from the Scrafty he snarled angrily and reached out, grabbing at the first thing he could get his hands on.
The sudden rough grab by the collar stopped the Scrafty dead in his tracks, before he could even pull his arm back to throw the punch, instead allowing Zander a chance to pull his own arm back.
"I've had enough of your stupid dancing around! So stay still so I can hit you!" He snarled as his hand began to glow and Zorro's own glowing fist died down.
If this didn't show the guy not to mess with him... well, he had no idea what would.


Sooooooo, TL;DR, Zander got angry at Zorro because his 'immobilizing the opponent fast' tactics pissed him off (not being able to see them and all it's pretty difficult for him to avoid attacks, seems you can't really hear a punch or a kick coming towards you haha...), so he took a chance, grabbing at him a few times, until he finally got him by the collar, stopping him mid-attack (a Focus Punch, which takes time to charge up fully anyway. Zorro is supposedly the cocky type, so I can imagine him taking the chance at such a slow attack because Zander was so easy to hit before this). Which brings us to the picture above. Zander, wanting to teach the guy a lesson for annoying him so much, is using Strength to slug him right in the face at maximum power while charging up Dragon Pulse to hit him at close range.
WOW, WHAT A BITCH.
He's not called the Hostile Pokémon for nothing BU
I think that's detailed enough.... dfjhgkjfg
Used caps from the anime to draw the attacks so I hope they're accurate sob

Zorro the Scrafty belongs to :iconsaphiera12:
Zander the Zweilous belongs to me.

Love the lighting, and the attacks. I did a lot of research(manga and anime caps, and such) for the attacks when I was doing my piece, too. I think you rendered both attacks really well. I also really love the expressions. Zander really does look hostile, almost viscious, and Zorro's temporary shock is evident in his face. The moody atmosphere of the picture is also great.

I think that the description was really well written, and gives a good feeling of Zander's frustration, and the lead up to this violent moment.

All in all, really great piece!

Good luck in round one~
