Pokémon Academy: Ch 2a: Dragons [IC]

[Bfroger6]

Shiro stood by the side when they arrived at the next stop. It was a rocky area with lots of caves around, al dug by these Druddigon that were all over the place. Suddenly, a group of Druddigon emerged from the forest behind him, scaring the trainer with their sudden appearance. A few of them scraped against his sweat shirt, muffling it up with their skin.

He was just about to take a look at the scrape when he felt something tug against his leg. It was a small Druddigon, probably a baby. They reached his belt with their heads, being somewhat shorter than 1 m, but their arms were already pretty long and big. Their wings were undeveloped at that stage. Actually, they had no wings yet, and their heads weren't that clear color red as the adults'. Shiro kneeled over to pet the closest one, while Shun watched them, slightly frowning under her hair. There was another one of those pesky dragons keeping her master's attention away from her. She had to solve the problem.

Shun's eyes gleamed red for a moment as she glared the dragon enjoying Shiro patting it on the head. She had a clean shot at the beast below his shoulder... she just had to aim right. The small dragon aparently noticed a hostile presence, shifting its attention over at the Ralts and her horn now shining a bright purple. It gazed at her with its eyes wide open. Its look almost gave the impression of a curious chick... But she shouldn't feel sorry for it. Besides, she only wanted to scare it off, not hurt it in any way. She just had to shoot the Confusion... Three, two...

The sudden burst of energy stroke the baby Druddigon's snout. The attack was small enough in size to pass unnoticed, except, of course, for the dragon. It let out a sound similiar to a Herdier's bark before pushing Shiro away with it's big head and running off to the rest of the pack. Shiro was left confused... what could have made the Druddigon react so suddenly? Was it something that... he had done? A small soft hand suddenly makes it's was onto his back. It was Shun, climbing up on his shoulder.

"Did you see that, Shun? What happened there?" He asks her, pushing himself off the ground. She just shrugged, but little did he know she was giggling to herself. "Huh? Oh well..." He tickles her chin, at which she purrs like a cat. "Nothing can be done now. It's gone to the big ones now..."

'Hopefully there won't be any problems though... Not after that Hydreigon incident...'

[Azeria]

When James saw 1 of the Tyrunts jump at him,he stepped back in surprise as the thing tried to drag him to come and play."Hey little guy,do you want me to come with you"James asked it to which the Tyrunt nodded and ran ahead."Energetic,this one is..."James said as he started following the ancient pokemon.

[Sutoratosu]

Mareek and Java watched nearby as Erce and his Cubone played with two Tyrunts, Erce playing a game of hide and seek like she used to do with Mareek, though given the surroundings, she unfortunately couldn't exactly make it Full City Edition and instead settled for dashing around from tree to tree, the Tyrunts and Cubone trying to find her. Their efforts were in vain most of the time though, as she tended to knock on the bark to draw them over, then leave behind a double team copy to fool them as she used agility to move to the next hiding spot. Admittedly it wasn't a very fair way to play. But she did keep the little Tyrunts occupied with it.

"Even with her cheating as hard as she is, They still have it easy..." Mareek said, chuckling a little to himself. "I had to scour an entire metropolis to find her in every game." Java bumped him on the shoulder, breaking him out of his reminiscence. "What?"

The porygon nodded to a scene in the distance. The trainer turned to find the boy he'd spoken to earlier running around panicked, highly contrasting how the other boy had seemed to be earlier.

"um...something wrong?" Mareek called, vexed by whatever the hell was going on with the other student.

[Felicity]

"um...something wrong?"

Claude whirled to the sound of Mareeks voice. "I Might have accidentally caught a pokemon, and I don't know what to do, and i'm scared of it, and, and, and..." Clade began hyperventilating, until he forced himself to control himself. "Basilly, I really need Devin, because I have no fucking clue what to do."

[Sutoratosu]

"Look, calm down man," Mareek said. "Panicking about it isn't going to do you any good. Now, what did you 'accidentally catch'? Java here might be able to help in some way, though I'm not entirely sure... we've never tried to force a pokeball to permanently release it's occupant before, but I know for a fact that he can hack out of his own pretty easily."

[Felicity]

Claude tried to force some restraint on himself, something he wasn't very used to, and lifted the pokeball to show Mareek. "It's not getting it out, it's that It's a Tyrunt that's likely very pissed at me, and I have the biggest fear of Rock types this side of the world" Claude explained, forcing his words into coherence.

[Sutoratosu]

Kinda a weird thing for someone to fear... Mareek thought to himself. "Oh, alright, I guess... Well if you're too afraid of the thing to release it.... Actually, mind me asking exactly how you got a fear of rock types? it just seems a bit... weird that of all the types a person could possibly fear, like fire or dark or ghost or bug or dragon, you're weary of rock. I've never really thought of it as being all that worth being afraid off in comparison with some others."

[Felicity]

The slight adrenaline from the fear wearing off, Claude was feeling somewhat cranky. "Well, I don't know. It's just a phobia, like heights, or the unknown. Besides, have you seen some of those pokemon." Claude shuddered, "Bloody terrifying. The lot of them"

[Sutoratosu]

Mareek honestly didn't know what the guy was talking about, Rock types and the like being terrifying. He decided to just accept Claude's pegging of it as some type of phobia, and decided to steer the conversation back to the actual matter at hand.

"Well, that aside, I honestly don't really know where Prof. Cadmus is. It looks like we're a bit away from the group and the others. But the Tyrunts will probably be able to find us the way back." He turned, about to call Erce and Cubone over along with their playmates in the distance. He paused before he could say anything though, glancing at claude.

"Just out of curiosity though, You're not gonna... freak out like I saw you do a few moments ago if I call them over here to help us out, are you?"

[Felicity]

Claude had already retreated a few meters away from Mareek.

"No promises" Claude said simply. Like hell was he getting any closer to that pack of devils.

[Sutoratosu]

"Well just don't fleeing into the woods blindly," He warned, putting fingers up to his mouth a moment later and letting out a loud whistle. Erce stopped playing her game, resulting in the two Tyrunts finally catching her, the young hatchlings tired from all the chasing and work she'd put them through. She flew over to Mareek, followed closely behind by the Dual Rock/ Dragon types and the Cubone.

"Hey you two," Mareek said, kneeling down to eye level with the Dragons. "Listen, we're kinda a bit further from everyone else than we should be out here. You think you could show us the way back?" He kept an eye on Claude as he spoke, ready to order Erce to go and stop him encase he suddenly panicked and ran off out of fear.

[Chim]

Group 1 (Bforger, Murdoc, Zephyr, EXLink)

The playful Gibles were looking for a new target. Their previous one, Slade, didn’t play along so this time they chose a female; Lana. She giggled a little when she found out what was going on and tried to outsmart them. She turned around quickly, in order to predict the next Gible, but lost her balance and bumped into Kage. “S-sorry!” she stumbled.

The little Druddigon growled against the herd and turned back with them. It stood before Shiro and Shun and scraped its claws against the ground, challenging Shun. The rest of the herd didn’t look all too friendly either as they supported one of their own. Alastair noticed the situation and quickly came over. He wanted to calm the dragons down, when he felled a hand on his shoulder.

“Wait a minute, Alastair. Let the boy solve this. That little Druddigon only wants to challenge him, right?” Devin said. His eyes were fixated on the upcoming battle and his Mienshao was ready to intervene any time.

“Yes, but he must’ve done something to provoke them. I can calm them down without a battle.”

Tyron shook his head. “The student involved needs to learn to stand up for him. At this rate if he graduates he might get into real trouble without someone there to look out for him.” Tyron sighed. “Professor Redwood and Devin talked about it before we left. They have a list with students that need a little push and that boy is one of them.”

Alastair looked Tyron in the eyes. The P.E. teacher was very serious about this. He remembered a conversation with Devin a few years ago when he first met Tyron. Devin told him the fighting type expert was very reliable and would be responsible when the situation called for it. Knowing both Professor Redwood and Devin, Alastair decided to put his trust in Tyron like they did.

Group 2 (Commander and DarkLight)

The Goodra’s followed Henry’s instructions and saw a girl with a Murkrow close by. They followed his lead and managed to sneak up to the girl and suddenly hugged her before she could escape. One Goodra after another joined the gooey hug.

In the meantime Kristen was standing by the lake. She was on her own and looking for either a Dragonite or a Dragalge, unsure which one to add to her team. Dragonite packed more power, but she really wanted a poisonous Pokémon at some point so why_not combine it with the raw power a Dragon possesses?

Group 3 (TurboAura, Tses, Tacos)

A little swarm of Noibat’s found something strange on their radar’s. When they flew closer they found a human and his Pokémon close by. They hadn’t seen two of those species before and were interested in what they were doing here. The little dragons attached themselves to the ceiling to watch the group, when a Golem strolled around on a rampage. The rock-type was still pissed that his sleep was interrupted when he saw those pesky bats hanging upside down. He thought they were sleeping and fired some rocks to scare them. After all it was only fair that he was allowed to wake others up.

The Noibat’s saw the attack coming and flew away just in time. They were forced to fly towards Robert and landed on the ceiling directly above him. A few of the more gutsy ones decided, now that they were found out anyway, to land a little closer. One of them landed on the Elekid’s head while a second one did the same with the Riolu. The third, and last of the gutsy ones, landed on Robert’s head and turned its head into different directions to have a good look at the cave painting.

A certain Swellow watched Sissy’s interaction with those golden showoffs. She decided to find another target when something flashed, earning Swellow’s attention. She took off from the branch and hovered around in the sky. After a little study session she came to the conclusion that it was the strange device that human had in her hand. A lot of tourists seemed to use those things so she didn’t think it had any value… or maybe it had? Why was it so popular with humans? Maybe because of that flash? Only one way to find out; she dived straight to the ground and pulled up just in time. The speed from the fall allowed her to snatch Sissy’s camera before either human or Pokémon realized that she was there.

Sissy felt how the camera was snatched from her hands at high speed. She couldn’t see who or what did it and when the thief finally slowed down to be perfectly visible, it flew into a nearby tree to examine her latest catch.

Group 4 (K_H, Surge, Jory, Azery, Lucky Elf)

The little Tyrunt’s led Mareek and Claude back to the others right at the time Devin was doing a headcount. “We’re all here so let’s move on to the next one,” he instructed. He didn’t realize Claude caught one of the dragons by accident.

After visiting Haxorus and Hydreigon, they finally arrived at Salamence. This particular dragon species lived high in the mountains. There were different Den’s around but none of them was accessible. Instead the Salamence evolution line gathered alongside paths and plateau’s so the Bagon’s could dive off without falling too deep.

The group was still walking on a path when a few Bagon’s were lined up 3 meters above them on their left side. One by one they jumped down. Some tried flapping their claws and others didn’t do anything except fall straight into the bushes under them. It was about the only place where there still was some vegetation left. All the rest was pure rock and dirt. One of the Bagon’s came out of the bushes and followed the rest back up, when his attention was drawn by the new mass of students. He picked one out at random, James, and gave the boy a head-butt in the stomach before climbing up.

Devin sighed. “That’s their way of saying hello while claiming authority. Anyway we have to follow them up if we want to see the other ones as well.” After a small climb, literally, they entered a rocky plateau with Bagon, Shelgon and Salamence around. One of them appeared to be sleeping but opened his eye when Devin and the students arrived. When he saw who it was he gave a snort before going back to sleep. The dragon was used to it by now and knew Devin wouldn’t cause any harm and that he would be back tomorrow with two new groups. Weird species humans are. Every year they do the same thing over and over again and then they would disappear. Unless those with a flashy thing in their hands. They got either scared; which was pretty amusing, and never returned or appeared to be excited and never returned.

((Small timeskip because I don’t think anyone in this group mentioned catching Haxorus / Hydreigon))

[Commander]

After the Goodra army backed off of Henry, he sent his Drilbur back out of his Poke Ball. The mole used it's claws to carefully scrape any goo on Henry's legs while Henry himself tried scraping most of the goo off the rest of his body. When most of it was off, he walked over to find out the next victim was none other than Danielle.

"That was easier than what I was expecting. Sorry Danielle, but I just couldn't resist." Henry stood back a bit to make sure he could get away should the Goodra want to give him another hug.

[Tses]

For some seconds, Sissy could feel a little breeze as she was walking, but dissapeared immidiately along with the camera she was holding. "Hey, what's going on? Air sweeps away items?" She said, confused about what just happened. "Did you get what happened right now?" She said at her pokemon and stopped walking. All her pokemon nodded with a no, except the Misdreavus. After the breeze had stopped, she saw a flying thing landing on a nearby tree. She pointed at that tree to her trainer. "What is it Miss? You me to go there?" The Misdreavus nodded and started flying towards that tree. "Okey, I'm right behind you. Sherlock, Miffy and Cotton return." She said ,holding her pokemon's pokeballs in her hands, and started running behind Miss. After a minute she was standing down the tree, that her pokemon had run to. She could see that a Swellow was standing on one of the branches, holding something in its wings, it was her camera.

"Hey there." Sissy said and waved her hand at the Swellow. "Can I have back that thing you are holding?"

[Felicity]

Claude was mulling over how to ask Devi about his situation. Eventually, he just decided to buck up and ask Devin what on earth to do

"Uh, S-sir? Can I have a second?" Claude asked, nervously deciding how to spill the story.

[TurboAura]

Being almost done with the project he was working on, Robert felt something land straight on his head. Diverting his glance from the painting, he found a Noibat sitting on his head, which seemed to be fixated on the painting as well. While looking up at it, he also caught a glance of the other Noibat's watching from the ceiling. Through his suprise he just noticed how Kiai pulling his pant leg in order to catch his attention, having a Noibat on his own head. On the other side, Voltage's temper was rising quickly, angered that it was roosting on his prongs, yet knew that setting off a Shock Wave would likely get the whole group after them.

Finally putting his Pokedex away, he lifted his left hand and looked towards the Noibat, atleast the best he could for it being on his head. "Well, hello. Seems your interested in this, Hm?" The Noibat just seemed... curious. It and it's friends were on their heads, intently watching what the group was doing, and trainer didn't seem that phazed. Through the Noibat's logic, it reasoned that Robert was very brave, strong trainer to give such a positive reaction towards not only having Noibat's sitting on their heads, but the entire rest of the swarm watching everything, while it was nothing more than Robert just rolling with the situation.

Finally done with the last few lines, Robert took out his camera and looked back at the Noibat. "Hey, would you mind telling the others to close their eyes and look the other way for a second? Just a warning." Robert meant it as a warning about the eminent camera flash, but the Noibat took it as a threat. 'What does this human think he's gonna do, take us all from the back? He doesn't seem like the violent one though, but what else would he be planning.' Though cautious, the Noibat told the others to turn their heads, which they only followed because it WAS brave enough to be on the trainers head. The others messing with Kiai and Voltage listened as well, but he himself kept a close eye on the human, much aside from the warning. Not noticing that it was still looking, Robert clicked the camera and the flash went off, suprising the Noibat greatly from the sudden brightness.

'Ack, light! That human has some nerve, lighting up the cave like that.' It's not like Robert didn't warn it, but it still flew back over, the others oblivious as to what he was annoyed about since they had looked away. He landed on Robert's shoulder, ready to let out a Screech right by his ear, when he actually saw the picture in the camera frame. 'Wait, what did that light just do? The thing is in the box, but it's still on the wall? So he's brave AND is knowledgable to preform something like this? Hmm.' "Well, there it is. Guess we'll get out of your hair, or you out of mine I guess. Come on guys." Robert and them started leaving out of the cave, where the Noibat's on the others went to the rest of the group. On the other hand, the one on Robert flew down infront of the entrance before they left. 'This human is brave, smart, and didn't actually do something harmful to the others when he had the perfect chance. Now, for the final test. Skill.' With a few cries, it flew around as if it expected a battle, which was noticed by Robert, as well as the rest of the group that averted their attention to it. "Oh, I think I get it, you want a battle. Voltage, you wanna take this one?" The Elekid signaled with a determined grin, ready for orders.

"Okay, start if off with a Shock Wave" Voltage let off the charge, letting out the frustration from earlier. The Noibat let loose a Gust to limit it, heading straight towards him with a Wing Attack. "Voltage, hit it with a Quick Attack." While still getting by the Wing Attack, it returned more than enough damage with the Quick Attack. "Quick, try and finish it with a Shock Wave!" Voltage quickly let the Shock Wave loose at the closer range, hitting it straight on. With that, the Noibat landed, happy with what the battle showed of the their skill. Voltage signaled to him, making it obvious to him what the Noibat was doing. Robert threw the Pokeball towards the Noibat, having been willingly absorbed inside, and caught.

After the adrenaline settled down, he let the Noibat out, now as partners.

"Guess you're part of the group now. Welcome." The Noibat simply nodded with a simple smile, with the others still happy over the new member. After awhile, the Noibat flew over to the rest of the group and said it's goodbyes, believing that Robert would allow him to push himself farther than he could here. He finally flew back towards Robert, leaving statements done, and the now group of five left out of the cave, happy that the little 'project' led them to a new partner.

[DarkLight]

"Hey, Avis, did you hear-- Ahh!" Before Danielle could finish her question, it was answered by a huge mass of purple that obscured their vision. She tried wriggling out of their clutches, but her struggle yielded no results. "H-Hey! What gives? And what's with this... goo?" Danielle finally looked up around her to find her native dragon type, Goodra - lots and lots of them - huddling all around her to try and get a hug in. "I should have known you would be here in this swamp, Goodra!" she laughed.

"That was easier than what I was expecting. Sorry Danielle, but I just couldn't resist."

Danielle managed to sneak a peek around the Goodra to find Henry standing at a safe distance away from the over-friendly dragons. "No harm done, Henry! I came from Kalos after all, and the Goomy line happened to live near my home, so I'm used to it~" She turned her attention back to the eager dragons. "Hey, everyone! There's plenty of hugs to go around, but one at a time please~" she giggled as they continue to enclose her in their tight embrace.

--------

While Danielle was amused, Avis was a little peeved that her feathers are now dripping with stickiness. She had always stayed away from the Goomy and Goodra whenever Danielle would play with them on Route 14. Once Avis found a clearing, she flew, awkwardly, over to Henry's side and began wiping herself with some nearby leaves. Avis likes her hugs without any messy goo, thank you.

[Bfroger6]

"Uhm... professor?" Shiro was cornered by a group of Druddigon of all shapes and sizes. They were led by that smal one he had been petting a while ago. It appeared to be acting agressive now, all of a sudden, and Shiro got genuinely scared of the little thing. He has experienced the power of a Dragon just a few days ago. "W- what should I do? What do they want?"

[Chim]

Bfroger

“Don’t be afraid,” Alastair answered. “The little one is challenging you. Something you, or your Pokémon, did must’ve offended it in some way. If you battle it the situation should be solved no matter the outcome. Professor Silva and I are keeping an eye out just in case. Our Pokémon are faster and stronger so you’ll be safe.” His voice sounded calm and reassuring. Tyron stood next to him and nodded in agreement.

Tses

The Swellow ignored Sissy and continued examining the camera. She accidentally pushed a button and made hazy picture of leaves and branches. “Swelloooow!” the bird cried in excitement. This weird flashy thing proved to be quite amusing.

She turned her attention to the human under the tree and boasted, making clear she wouldn’t give Sissy’s camera back.

Happy Elf

Devin turned around when Claude approached him. “Of course, what’s the problem?”

[Felicity]

Claude fidgeted as he spoke "Well, um, I-I may have accidentally caught a pokemon. Specifically a Tyrantrum that I think I Pi- er, offended. I have absolutely no idea what to do, and I think it's kinda unfair of me to keep it..." Claude was considering his options. It hadn't even occurred to him to let the Tyrunt out of her ball to see what she thought...

[Chevaleresse]

Kage almost fell over himself when a girl bumped into him, but he quickly recovered. He went down to one knee and offered her his hand. "It's alright, I wasn't really paying attention."

[Jory]

Jacob sighed, looking down at Spitfyre's Poke Ball. The Charmander hadn't acclimated to him nearly as quickly as Chalchi had. In fact, he hadn't done so at all. The small flame lizard was proving to be a particularly obstinate Pokemon. Each time he came out of his Ball he would simply stare Jacob down until the Trainer returned him, frustrated after his commands fell on deaf ears. However, when he saw the Bagons, Jacob got an idea. What if he needs a win? the Trainer thought to himself. Teo and I beat him pretty badly. He's prideful, so maybe that's the issue. The Trainer looked toward Devin only to see the Dragon master was occupied by Claude. He walked over and patiently waited for a moment before speaking up. "Sorry to interrupt, but I have a question too. I caught a Charmander earlier today, but he just won't listen to me. Should I try using him in a battle or having him sit on the sidelines and watch my other Pokemon?"

[Chim]

Jory and Lucky Elf

“One moment, Jacob,” Devin replied. “Your friend here seems to be panicking.” He turned his attention to Claude. “Why don’t you release it now and well see how it goes. If you both agree to return the Tyrunt in the wild we’ll go back to release it. If the Pokémon doesn’t want to, you’ll have to train it. If you don't it will feel insulted and when you release it, it might cause some serious trouble. Remember Tyrunt's are playful, but their parents are very proud.”

He then turned his attention to Jacob. “As for your problem; in two days you can battle another trainer with your newly caught Pokémon. You can wait until then because the match I’ve planned for you should be a decent challenge. In the meantime you can try to get to know your Charmander and find a way to let it co-operate with you. If you don’t think that will work or really want to battle now there are plenty of Bagons out there willing to have a go at it.”

Murdoc

Lana blushed, more because she felt embarrassed than anything else, and took Kages hand. She shifted her feet through the sand, unsure what to say. “Th-thanks. Aren’t you Kage? One of Danielle’s friends?”

*************

Alvin managed to get his hands on a camera. He intended to use it to win the contest by making a beautiful picture containing nothing but Bug types, but he almost immediately got sidetracked. He looked at the camera and saw he had more than 50 pictures already. All of them had something to do with different bug species, but none of the pictures was made with the intention of winning the little contest. He just hoped the assistants would hand him his pictures when they got back.

He went back to the place he started first and found a Heracross licking the honey he placed on a tree. “A Heracross!!” he yelled excited. He immediately released both his Pokémon with the intention to defeat it in battle, only coming to the conclusion that the fighting bug didn’t like to be interrupted when it ate. A quick barrage of Arm Thrusts took care of Shelly (Dwebble) while two Aerial Aces in a row managed to take Queen (Combee) down.

“Wow,” Alvin stuttered. “If people back home only could see how powerful you are, Heracross. They would stop picking on Bug Types immediately.”

Heracross ignored the boy and finished its meal. It intended to fly away before Alvin came up with another plan. “Want some more honey? If you come with me I’ll give it you.” To show he meant what he said he smeared some more on a tree. The Heracross reached the tree in the blink of an eye and nodded to Alvin, letting the boy capture her as soon as she finished.

Once that was done; Alvin screened the Pokédex for information. Seeing that his newly catch was another female, he decided on a nickname. “Welcome to the team, Hera!”

[Felicity]

Claude nodded, and with no small amount of hesitation, took out the pokeball and released the small Tyrunt. She looked incredibly confused, looking around at it's new surroundings. That is, until she saw Claude. She immediately pounced, knocking him to the ground. Claude gave a yelp, flailing as he went down. Dazed for a second, he tried to sit up, until he found the Tyrunt sitting on Claude. eyeing him. When Doux flew down, hoping to help, the Tyrunt growled, similar to how it reacted when Claude kept stepping on her marked territory. She continued to stare at him, a rather possessive look in her eye. Claude on the other hand had a very terrified look in his eyes.

[Bfroger6]

'So, if we defeat the little one, the others will retreat too? Okay... I guess I have to...' Shiro thought to himself as he reached out into his pocket to grab his Pokedex. He pointed it at the feisty Druddigon, revealing his moves and weaknesses. 'Uhm... Hone Claws... Bulldoze... Dragon Rage... Slash... Roar and Payback... Brave nature... This one is strong.'

"Shun, are you ready?" He said after a gulp. Shun nodded in response and took her place between Shiro and the Druddigon. Her horn instantly flashed red, reflecting her current emotions. She was more than ready to battle. But even though the Druddigon was still a youngling, it was already at least three times her height, and its muscles were staggering. Still... as long as they could avoid getting hit, they had a chance of winning. Shiro took one last look at the Druddigon before speaking. It was still rowing the dirt with its grand claws, those big, scary claws... "I... I accept your challange." He muttered, pointing his finger at the dragon. As soon as he did so, the whole herd let out a loud roar, but only for a brief moment, signaling the support they had for the small one. The roar caught Shiro off guard, and he took a few steps back in sudden shock. The battle has begun.

The Druddigon wasted no time. As soon as Shiro backed off, it thrusted itself forward, trying to Slash Shun directly. "U- uh... Shun! Avoid its attack and... uhm..." 'What should I tell her to do!?' However, Shun had a plan of her own. Even if her trainer wasn't sure what she should do, she was the one actually doing the fight and, as such, she had the best ideas on how to exploit the enemies weak spots. This Druddigon charged her head on, and that was something it should never have done, as it left itself wide open. The attack was easy to avoid and was ready to retaliate. A yellow spark flashed when she snapped her fingers, paralyzing the dragon. It let out a screech as it collapsed on the ground, its muscles still twitching from the shock. One or two older Druddigon reacted to that, frowning and rowling. One even began prowling at the ground like the small one.

'Are they...' However, the other dragons were stopped by the little one's cry. It has recovered from the paralysis, and was facing them now. It's hard rock face revealed its anger. It didn't want them to interfere so they backed off, but not before quareling for a bit between themselves. Some of them apparently still wante to interfere, despite the young one's stubborness. When it turned back to Shiro and Shun, it let out another cry. Suddenly, its claws sparked white, doubling in lenght instantaneously. 'Hone Claws?' "Shun, be careful!"
