    Poppin' Arms Guild ~ Infirmary

    Brisa had a mission. Speak with as many of the team as possible over the next few days, and get them in the best condition possible for the fight with Joule. She'd train them, motivate them, and coordinate them as best she could. She could handle it. For something this important, she would...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    Luz nodded, and made a mental note to get the four of them together in a room to do something fun. Maybe battle! Although, Team Lightning would probably wipe the floor with Team Gloop. Something to think about. Luz shrugged expansively, and put an arm around her new friend. "We're all plenty...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Well, wasn't that a pleasant surprise? Brisa smiled at her friend, certain that she'd make good on their mutual scarcity in due time. Just as soon as things were less hectic. Once they beat Joule. "Well, it'd be my pleasure to share one with ya when we're done with our pal Joule up there. Maybe...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Yeah, it was definitely the right play not to push him too hard right now. That was okay. He had a good umbral move, and he'd reach for his shine when it counted, when there was real need. If he really didn't like radiance at all, he probably wouldn't like alcohol either, but . . . it was worth...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    'Poorly', huh? Maybe Celeste's reservedness was a cover that'd get stripped away by radiance. Maybe he just felt uncomfortable without clarity of mind. After all, shadows brought out a . . . harsh side of him, from time to time. If he went blacklight, perhaps he'd veer even wilder? "If it...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "What, you're worried about explodin'? Or . . . what it'll reveal about ya?" Most folks were more worried about their shadows than their radiance. Then again, if you had a lot of inhibition that got stripped away by radiance it would be like being drunk... Brisa thought back to her first...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Hey, no problem, partner. Just eager to get everyone at their best fer our toughest throwdown yet." Come to think of it, Brisa had no idea what Celeste's improved radiant move was. Had he even used one? "You figured out yer Shining move yet?"

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Good fuckin' gods you're hard to hit." Brisa came to a halt and breathed hard, focusing away her blacklight. "That's one hell of a move. If you can land it on the godlike bastards we fight, I have a feelin' it'll come in useful. Sky and stars, Celeste, what a workout."

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa gnashed her teeth hard enough to make sparks. "As if I'd go easy on you. Come at me, motherfucker!" She put real effort into her next Electric Facade, but somehow, she could only land a goddamn grazing hit on the fucker. He'd messed with her aim!

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa kept the Whiplashes coming, relentless, but steady. She wasn't trying to knock Celeste out, just to provoke more from him... "I ain't gonna quit 'til ya show me what you're capable of! Prove yerself t'me!"

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Wait, the absol didn't even feel comfortable making the first move, even after an invitation? Brisa would start, then. Too bad for him! "Alright, Celeste. I'm fuckin' comin' for ya." Brisa surged with power as first her Arclight, and then her Overcharge sparked off. She held back her power...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    So, Celeste really never fought recreationally? That . . . just wasn't how pokémon ought to be. Well, every world had its own culture, she supposed. She gave Celeste the short version of the spiel on sparring etiquette, and a couple of pointers that might be relevant to a fellow predator. Weird...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Oh, thank stars. It was good to see the absol looking well enough. "Howdy, Celeste! Hell, I don't think I see you around half as often as I'd like. I swear I've been meanin' to spar with ya fer more'n three months already." Increasingly, trying to engage in small talk was producing a certain...

    Threadmarks: R9 – Show Me What You've Got – Brisa & Celeste

    Endless training was nothing new for Brisa, but for whatever reason it was so much more exhausting now. Maybe because she was drilling so many different moves? Or the pressure? Or just because she was working practically around the clock. Whatever. She had a list of folks with new shadow moves...

    Destiny Colosseum

    The match against Astrid and Vix had been an explosive, furious blur of aggressive combat. She'd been ruthless, using her Bright Arclight like she hardly ever had occasion to in a Spectrum fight. And yet it hardly seemed a minute later that she was here, fighting Starr and Nip, doing just the...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    Luz smiled at her new friend and gave a thumbs up. "Sure it will!" She whooped and gave applause with the rest of the crowd as the match ended, but she was already excited for the finals, excited for her throwdown with Puddle, excited for the whole team to face off against Joule! "Aw, pal,"...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    "Then yer on!" said Luz, happily. She let Puddle hold her paw. Why not? The match was a furious spectacle, over sooner than Luz wanted or expected. Goddamn, but those mon sure shone bright! "Wow! Reckon we can make sparks like that, partner?"

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Stands

    A fight with Puddle? Well, that would certainly be a damn good time! "If you wanna tussle, I'm game any time!" Luz held out a paw, the pads of which glowed with her silver-blue electric light. "Put 'er there, partner. We'll have it out just as soon as you say the word!"

    Destiny Colosseum

    Brisa prowled onto the colosseum grounds already sparking off, and her mane shone with electric and radiant lights as Astrid teased her with pre-match bravado. This was gonna be good. She somehow hadn't had a proper fight against Astrid since that scuffle on the beach! And she was so goddamn...
