Rockruff looked almost surprised as he focused on his snout, which had suddenly fallen victim to an intense itching sensation. He could see his snout quivering, his pink nose twitching, and his nostrils flaring up. He knew what was going to happen: he was going to sneeze. His eyes watered slightly and his breath hitched.

"Haaaah... Heeeeeh... AAAAAAAAHHHHHH...!" Every time he inhaled, he tilted his neck farther and farther back. Each gasp seemed to irritate his nose even more.

A couple of other Pokemon close to him - a Litten and a Helioptile, both male and belonging to the same trainer as Rockruff - turned to look at him in concern. They were too late to do anything to stop him, however, because a final inhale later, he released two loud but harmless sneezes.

"HEEEEEEEH-ETCHHHHHHHHHHHH! ATCHHHHHHHHHH!"

Rockruff shot his neck forwards and shook his head rapidly as he released his sneezes. A few seconds later, he recovered and groaned. He sniffled as he rubbed his nose with a front paw.

"Bless you," Helioptile said. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Rockruff replied as he continued to rub his nose. "It's just me and my sensitive nose."

"Of course it is," Litten commented, sounding almost sarcastic as he rolled his eyes.
