    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    Oh, so Vix was stuck in a small town too? They should talk about that some time... "Hey, that's no bad thing, partner!" said Brisa, awkwardness forgotten. "I'll spar with you any time! Or watch a good fight. That's one of th'best things about Cibus: the combat sport industry. Nothin' like it...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    'Fancy meeting you here' and a stammer. Oh gods. Vix was not keen on talking, evidently. Probably down to Brisa absolutely scrubbing the colosseum floor with the poor gal. Aw hell. "We've met a few times," Brisa corrected, for want of anything better to say. She winced. That wouldn't help. "Uh...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    Brisa paced down from the stands towards the colosseum exit, amidst the crowds, wondering if she could get away with simply leaping down to save time. She could handle the fall, she was sure. "What the fuck, Luz? Arceus? No, I never thought t'bother Arceus with anythin', no." "Aw, why not...

    Destiny Tower

    "I . . . take yer meanin'," said Brisa. Luz shoved her lightly. "So you'll keep yerself steady, right?" "...Guess I can try." Luz grinned. "Good enough fer me. Alright then, Papi, we've taken up enough of yer time. I expect t'shoot th'breeze with ya after the fight, y'hear?" Brisa shrank...

    Destiny Tower

    Luz threw her arms up in the air. "Thank you! Consarnit, Brisa, maybe now you'll lay off a lil', since Arceus is sayin' y'can't jus' keep burnin' t'nothin'." Brisa dropped her gaze and felt her ears heat up. Even Arceus' choice of wording, burn right up– Did he mean to put her in mind of Bright...

    Destiny Tower

    "Huh..." Brisa chewed that over. She'd heard some of this before, but she'd always assumed there was some religiosity behind it all, given the occasional iconography worn by devotees and the slinging-around of that word, 'god'. Much of Team Spectrum seemed to be from worlds where...

    Destiny Tower

    "Honestly, legendary pokémon make 'emselves scarce back where I'm from," explained Brisa. "Th'real Zeraora Luz only turns up in my part of the country 'bout once in a generation. Ain't ever met a legend before I came here, in fact . . . an' it's pretty rare fer folks t'treat 'em like gods. Makes...

    Destiny Tower

    Adopted. It was just too much. Brisa ignored it and ploughed on as best she could. "Best of fortune t'you with whatever yer plannin'," she managed. "Don't suppose there's anythin' th'likes of us can help with, but we're at yer service if'n there is." Luz crossed her arms and radiated low...

    Destiny Tower

    Brisa wanted to shrivel up and expire. She was speaking to this world's creator and arch-deity, and he was busy and preparing to sacrifice himself for his life for the sake of the world. She was wasting both their time and energy. She stepped back, and backed into Luz, who didn't budge. Her...

    Threadmarks: R9 – Divine Duty – Brisa, Luz & Pop

    "Stars above, Luz. I don't care which of us goes first, I just don't get why you're so keen that it be me." Brisa and her familiar walked into Destiny Tower, the luxio's shoulders hunched in discomfort and the zeraora-shade's paws confidently astride her hips. They walked as if Luz was somehow...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    It seemed like Saltriv was at least committed to doing their part. That was all Brisa could ask—she wouldn't be any more comfortable than they were in their position, that was certain. What had the chikorita experienced in their past to give them shadows like that? She didn't envy them that...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "There's a good mon," said Brisa, with a grim smile. "Well done on findin' yer umbral power. I know it ain't easy, but we're countin' on you as much as everyone else when th'fight comes. Be brave, Saltriv."

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa scowled and readied a terse admonition about duty, and then cut herself off with a sigh. The poor critter looked damn near crying. "Saltriv, techniques like this can mean th'difference 'tween defeat an' victory," she said, carefully. "Look... Starr gets hurt every time she uses Flare...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa shook herself free of her shadows, but the tension in her limbs remained, as did the feeling of being bruised. "Yer new shadow technique," she growled. "Looks t'me like whoever it hits gets stronger—much stronger—at the cost of bein' hurt." She eyed Saltriv, whose expression was already...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    What if she failed? The thought wasn't her own; it came as an intrusion. She stumbled as she made the realisation. At first she rejected it the same as any other such thought, automatically—dwelling on the possibility of failure was useless. She focused on solutions, not failure. But what if...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa basked in the light a moment. This kind of sparring was its own kind of fun! "C'mon, Saltriv. Let's see yer shadows, now. Reach fer those hard feelings! What if I let you down, huh?" She gave them a moment before charging in again, this time with shadow energy surging across her pelt.

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa threw herself into battle like other mon might throw themselves at a feast. She couldn't help but enjoy herself, and the satisfaction of dodging moves and harrying Saltriv with her own. They could take a hit, at least! "Alright! Now to put ya to th'test!" she cried, as her eyes lit up...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa cracked her neck and forepaw digits, then called for the match to start—"Come an' get me, Saltriv!" She began with an easy flurry of quick attacks to test the chikorita's mettle in single combat. She'd seen them fight against Giovanni to their credit, but this was a duel, and that was a...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    It was hard to believe they'd actually beat Joule, if Brisa was honest. Harder still to continually reassure people of something she didn't know for certain. All the same, she'd keep doing it. She only had to do it until they actually defeated the fucker, after all. "We'll pull through," she...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Yeah, y'got that shadow move, don'tcha?" replied Brisa. "Luz figured out it's got some kinda splash effect makin' it unsafe in a crowd." Luz had been hit by that splash effect. Lucky for Luz, she'd been in good health and able to brush it off. "Your umbral move could come from a similar kinda...
