    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    She spoke quietly, barely above a whisper. "Warm. Can't feel the stiffness no more. Fine overall, I guess." With the stones absent, she felt almost bouyant. The feeling of ordinary air against her fur was chilled by comparison. "Lighter."

    Destiny Colosseum

    Toffee struck with incredible pinpoint attacks, but Brisa's only good option right now was more shields... She braced herself for the coming hits.

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    The heat was all-consuming by now. She let it consume her. Eyes still closed, air left her body, and returned to it, in, out, cycling forever. How would she feel when the stones were finally removed?

    Destiny Colosseum

    Okay, plenty of attacks, renewed vitality, unerring accuracy . . . but not hitting hard. Not yet. There was worse to come, for sure. "That's more like it!" she cried, then went in for a real attack, her fists glowing, full of hidden strength beneath her superheated corona.

    Destiny Colosseum

    "Have it yer own way, Toffee! Show me what you've got!" Brisa was prepared to take Toffee seriously. After all, Owen had looked concerned. And yet, Toffee seemed to be on her last legs... Perhaps she'd strike back with explosive fury when pushed to her absolute limits? Like a more extreme...

    Destiny Colosseum

    At this rate, Brisa could take out her opponent while hardly batting an eye. She didn't . . . really want to do that, but it wasn't fair to deny an opponent a little flair if they asked for some. "Alright, Toffee, if'n y'wanna give 'em a show, let's do that!" Brisa took a step forward, and...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Oh, bless. When Toffee had explained she wasn't much of a battler, Brisa hadn't realised she was a novice. Still, she must've become a corviknight somehow, right? And even on Cibus, pokémon grew from struggle and strife. Brisa would do as she'd promised and go easy on her, all the same...

    Destiny Colosseum

    "Nothin' like a casual battle t'get t'know each other a li'l better," called Brisa. "Don'tcha worry, I ain't hopin' to go all-out today! Gimme yer best, partner!" Brisa got into a casual limbering-up, her body flooding with Radiance as she strained it to work harder, produce more electricity...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    After a certain point, Brisa's awareness of her stiffness gave way to an awareness of heat, weight, and the sound of Bahamut's voice. In. Out. A 'mon could lose their proprioception under these conditions. That was alright. In. Out.

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    No thoughts, then. Focus. Counting breaths helped. So did keeping silent. In. Out.

    Offscreen Activities

    Brisa makes up for lost time with Astrid, inviting her to train together, working on tuning their elemental interplay and testing out new Explosion-based strategies. They usually grab a bite together afterwards, Brisa's treat.

    Destiny Colosseum

    "Yeah," said Brisa. "We're done. And yeah, I'm more'n okay. Fightin' like this is a helluva lot less painful." She gave Starr an affectionate nudge, and turned to leave the arena. "Thanks fer yer help, Dave. I know this ain't really yer thing, but we just took out one of the strongest teams in...

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa grit her teeth. Maybe some ascension shit is happening, Dad. That'd make most folks proud, I woulda thought. Guess not. She sighed as Dave laid off a little and Starr leant her weight on her. What relief. "Yeah, I'm still the same gal. Look, I'll change back in a second, I just heal...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    "Yeah, there's plenty tightness there," muttered Brisa, closing her eyes and drawing her lip back sharply, suppressing a hiss at the latest application of a boiled rock. Her patience with this ordeal was paying off, though. Possibly. It was hard to tell if it was just placebo, or...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    "Control over bioelectrical impulses is responsible fer the heightened reflexes an' immunity t'paralysis common to electric-type 'mon," recited Brisa, automatically. "Ah, I'll do my best." She made herself receptive to the next stone, as much as she knew how, as her forepaws clenched and...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    Thank fuck she had such a high tolerance to heat. The sensation was intense, but not nearly so much so as what she went through just about every battle. "Uhuh..." She pressed her chin further down and tried to allow her muscles to relax. It didn't come easy.

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    Brisa could follow instructions. Sure. The clarity and specificity helped, too. "Ain't been so bad, lately," she remarked, quietly. Particularly since unlocking that zeraora transformation... Her usual searing plasma seemed to restore her rather than enfeeble her. Still, she was stiff. Mostly...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    Brisa usually held a loaf pose or curled up tight... Even though sprawling out was something she'd grown fond of just recently, it still felt a little stiff and awkward when prompted here. "Alright." She spread herself out, stretched as much as didn't hurt, and waited.

    Destiny Colosseum

    Huh? He didn't know? Well, it wasn't like she'd told him. Shit. "Oh, uh. Yeah, this is like... Y'know how Owen looks a li'l different lately?" Brisa rubbed the back of her head, sheepish, hyper-aware of the intensity of Dave's stare. How to explain herself? Well, she'd just assumed he'd...

    Poppin' Arms ~ Training Facility

    "Well, it suits me jus' fine. How d'we begin, fella?" Hmm. This was the first time she'd been alone with Bahamut in a while. She'd never got the chance to try out her luxray vision on his leonine body to detect if he had any bones. And he clearly didn't now – a quick check confirmed it. "This...
