Sapphire tumbled backwards, and in pain, she let out a fierce growl, unintentionally unsheathing her claws into the Ninetales. Immediately, she jumped off, licking at the wound. Then, she lifted her head, shaking herself off, glaring at the Swampert. To make sure he stayed in place, she used Confuse Ray on him, her eyes glinting, sending a dark but hardly visible ray towards the Water-type. If it hit, his own eyes would have glowed blue like hers, and maybe he would have gotten a bit drowsy, but all she had to do was wait. Sometimes it didn't take effect immediately.
Though she was tired, her heart was racing with anger and hostility, her pelt bristling. She needed to put and end to all of this! How could someone be so senseless? Azerbu was such a... person who didn't think hard. Sapphire couldn't think of any other terms. He opposed the Ninetales in fear of being ruled by her, or something like that.
Still, even though it was just because he didn't think hard, he didn't deserve to be trying to kill a whole Pokemon species. He had to disappear.
