Quickly, the two queens caught up. There really wasn’t much besides keeping track of the kingdom since the last contest. Akane was already bored with it. Eira on the other hand, was rather excited and quickly took Akane up on her advice to start evolving the town. Though the red queen did not travel the roads herself, she did notice more and more people flooding into the once desolate land. She almost grew nostalgic with the passing.
In awe, as with everyone else, she too enjoyed the wonder of her previous acquaintance, Grace, take on a new form. The happiny was finally maturing; the woman wondered if she had been properly trained since their last venture, but dared not ask as to further insult the fellow queen. Her interest was piqued, but shot down quickly after she noticed Maleko’s arrival.
”Eira you must be so proud.” Akane praised. She could feel nothing but happiness for a trainer whose pokemon just grew stronger. Only then could she set aside her cruelty.
Although she welcomed his presence, Akane couldn’t bother to get up and meet him on this day. She was far more intrigued by the woman with the smoochum. such a rare pokemon… where did she get it?
Finally, Eira began to start the contest. With Eira’s warning, she imagined she wouldn’t win today anyway. But it mattered not as long as she had fun. She did, however; appreciate the fellow queen’s politeness towards her.
Onto my contest...
Hm. I feel kind of bad for pretty much being a copycat after that. Hm… But at least I will make a subtle example to these people that fire evaporates both ice and water. This time she refused to speak to the audience until during her performance. She hadn’t expected a double battle round, yet refused through sheer will to be nervous or unprepared otherwise.
”Doom, use a high-arched sludge bomb at the audience.”
Without wavering, from behind the curtain, after a few dramatic seconds, a massive potent sludge ball was hurled in a high arch above the audience, with the end of the arch dead center in the audience.
On cue, Undine speedily slithered her way out of the curtain to pelt and use the force of the ice beam to steady the bomb in place; hovering high above the audience and stage, it quickly froze over before yet again-it made its fall towards the helpless people.
Undine was hidden in the misty haze that covered the middle of the stage, while Doom used his sharp nose to navigate around her and fire a fire spin from his mouth to the frozen sludge hurtling towards the audience and shattered it. The icy particles burst into shards and before they could fall on the audience and injure others, the particles melted and evaporated.
When the mist had cleared, Undine had already started a gradually dancing and growing aqua ring around herself that swiveled and rotated and protected her while Doom began spinning out more and more wisps. Undine had already started a very weak ice beam just below her, creating a sloppy, tiny mound.
Akane took this as her chance to grace the frozen stage with her presence while her pokemon prepared their final performance.
”Thank you for your warm welcome in such a cold place. I, Lady Akane who hails from the fiery Kingdom of Celosia, am grateful to be here. I thank all of you and your lovely queen for welcoming and providing for us all.” Bowing, she very, very, very, very slowly began to raise her arms; her eyes were closed. Her intent? When her arms and bent posture reached a perfect T she would finish the performance she hadn’t rehearsed. I don’t need to win today, just send a message.
Finally fully charged, Doom sent his wisps over to Undine’s aqua rings and together they formed six rings; 3 water and 3 of the dotted wisps still rotating and hovering around and now in front of Undine, slowly made its way to Akane who had almost fully up righted herself. Undine to stretch her concentration and finished the clumsy ice beam mound directly in front of her as she was much more focused on the aqua rings.
Listening she heard the woosh of the water and felt the heat of the flames of the six rings as they circled her body; as soon as she felt the heat around her ankles, her eyes shot open and her arms flew up as if reaching for the sun that never fully shined in Eirlys, and she began to dance; dance as if she had… a sword!? Let these people know the true power of the sun.
Suddenly, the 3 aqua rings vanished as the wisps erupted into firespins. Akane danced around the sudden geyser field, still as if she had a sword in hand and… ?! Undine, using her water pulse, pushed the crummy ice ball towards Akane. It didn’t arrive in her hands until the water pulse had shaved away the edges to hand her a sword made of ice. A special shout out to Zandrophin she said under her visible breath.
With the frozen sword, Akane’s sword’s dance grew more and more intense just like the fiery pillars. The firespins were a mix of red and oranges indicating their low intensity so as to not melt the stage or at least not as quickly and merely to accent the queen in her shimmering red dress, and Undine’s gorgeously illuminated scales and she weaved her way into Akane’s sword routine. Crouching Tiger and viper-like Dragon she mused to herself.
Slithering in and out of Akane’s legs, wrapping and speeding herself around the woman, she simultaneously and as gracefully as possible dodged the red queen’s “attacks”. Doom continued to send out wisps that would burst into fire spins. The duo continued dancing for a few more moments, the fire spins creating an interesting background, the wisps weaving their way in and out of the dance, and Akane, the “crouching tiger” released from her cage, engaging in an epic dance with the viperess “dragon”.
After a few seconds of the intense scene, Akane ordered with a verbal “halt!” for Undine to pose finish with a final aquaring that formed into a water pulse against Doom’s perfectly heated will-o-wisp that once again morphed into a firespin heading towards Undine’s water pulse. The powerful beams clashed, leaving nothing but rapidly cooling steam and the trio perfectly aligned and bowed that scrambled to do so in the steamy mist.
Akane could hear Undine breathing heavily and decided immediately after Eira’s reaction to take her to the standby nurse, or whatever they had. She had, however, hoped the people of Eirlys embraced the power of the fire types and even deeper, the power their newest ally would bring them should they remain loyal. Politics. Always politics.
