I bounced into the training room just ahead of Groundramon as fast as I could!. It was fighty-playtime! That's one of the bestest times! Next to being with Dadmon and LadyArdatmon and Boymon. Though watching SistermonNoir and her songs was almost pretty closey too! The only way to make those times better would if that part of the big place had normal weightyness to them. Not the silly, weak pressure that was everywhere else.
I ended up going from happy to all grumbly as I crawled through the big doors leading outside. Other mons were all so weak and light. To them this places weightyness was too much! But that was wrong, the other places weren't weighty enough! In fact Xia thinks it's weird being in places were everything was too bouncy and breaky!
I tumbled out into the comfy hot air, and scrambled back up to face Groundramon. He didn't like Dadmon for some reason, but liked Xia just fine... why was he frowning at Xia? Oh! I quickly allowed my rookie for to pop-
-And I'm Lavorvomon again. Being a Champion again always felt strange, Xia could think better, but always felt more like breaking things.
I stretched gratefully on the half-molten ground, then smiled up at my teacher Groundramon. All the heat and pressure felt so homey! And out here Xia didn't need to worry about breaking things or mon. Dadmon's not-friend Groundramon couldn't be hurt no matter how much I tried. Xia could play with him without having to worry about breaking him, and he didn't move nearly as fast and frustrating like Exveemon or Boymon.
"Hmph, today's lesson will be just a normal spar." The big Dramon rumbled, crouching low and cocking his claw wings back. "Go nuts kid."
"Yay! Fun! Fun!" I let out a roar of excitement and crouched down. Sparring was always way funner than trying to control the energy-thingies or trying to do the mediation stuff. Xia leapt forward and I flared my wings for extra speed "Earth Stamp!" I declared bringing both wing arms down as hard as could... only for it to be blocked by one of my playmate's giant green wing arms. I grinned and used the force to bounce off him (just like he'd taught me) covering the limb in my powder. "Mighty Flame!" I bleached out my fire as hard as I could the fireball mixing with my dust to make and even bigger explosion!
From there Xia winged over as well in the air, using the air-thingy for my feet to help too. I wished I could move even faster, but the hard air was so weak! They could barely take even a little bit of weight and trying to make better ones took lots of thinkings. There was a crack and I yelped as a giant, half-molten bolder emerged from the smoke of my attack and launched me from the air into the ground again.
Owie...
I used my hind legs to kick away the bolder, then flipped around with my wing arms to face the charging Groundramon. He was holding back I think, he wasn't nearly as strong as Dadmon but he was lots stronger and faster then me!
As he closed, I leaned low and bleached out a stream of fire, forming a wall in front of me to buy time to hop back and away. Groundramon sttoped in front of the flames more to simulate most mons rather the being afraid of it himself before barreling through. I took to the skies again to make space half flying half using the bestest air walk Xia could do to climb out of range of Groundramon's wing arms. I learned quickly to not let those hit me they hurt lots.
"Mighty flame" I turned an spat out another fireball, this time not at him but under him to where I landed and a lot of my dust had fallen off from the impact. This time the boom was lots bigger and he actually looked surprised as he was flipped thinking I missed. I cheered and dove at him as hard as I could targeting his exposed belly! Xia gots him! I-huh? Why Xia looking at ground?...
Groundramon slid sideways!? How? Oh wing arms! Oh wait going too fast!
I yelped and tried to stop the dive by flapping wildly and pushing energy into my feet. But managed only to slow Xia's fall a bit before my hard air gave way and I slammed into the ground with a thunderous crash.
Ow-ow-owie...
I shook my head to clear it of the sparky thingies I saw, then stepped out of the small crater I caused in the floor. That made me come face to face with Groundramon.... oops.
"You should know better then to over-commit like that." He commented all meanily and laughily before lashing out with his wing arm. It struck towards the whole of Xia's front, and I desperately blocked with my wings.
My rocky scales broke, my bones rattled as the terrible blow launched me through the air faster then I could ever go myself. But Xia was tough too! I hit the ground, rolled up and drove my claws and talons down into the ground, piercing the ground and braking my flight as I skidded to a halt. Shaking Xia's head, I rumbled as data leaked from my claws and torn off scales, I felt... mad.
That... that hurt Xia!
I roared at the top of my lungs and threw myself forward into the air. Xia's world turned into a red haze as I charged, ripping up the ground with my talons and claws. Foe was still, so I expelled fire into his face igniting my flame dust around him and blinding him. I lept up to avoid foe's swipe, then swooped low. Scales scraped against ground and I surged upward at the last second going for enemy's neck. The foe was fast he moved his neck away so I settled for a bite into its sholder-
*Tink*
Owie! Big-foe-enemy-mon's scales hard!
Xia growled and pushed off to avoid enemy-swipe-lash. Hit where Xia was before, would hurt lots.
I snarled and shifted back and forth avoiding the hurts from his claws and arm-wings. Playing with Xia! Not trying kill her! Xia take advantage of! Refraining from breathing fire Xia build up flamedust!
And... now!
Xia lashed out with teeth and claws, scratching at foemon's chest-scales chipping away at hard stuff. Ready to explode in and hurt him!
Then the foe suddenly spun! Xia could feel it coming, danger!
Xia leapt not up, but forwards the spiked tail flew. Diving over big-tail-spiked-circle, which was even more dangerous then even the arm wings! Now foemon vulnerable! Xia sunk her teeth into his hindlegs, then used her neck to hurl herself up and over onto enemy's back. She struck again and again doing only glancing damage to his harder scales, but foemon could not strike here well.
But then he began to roll, forcing Xia to flap off of him to stop from being squished. Already enemy on his claws again, and Xia shook her head. Her thinky bits hurt... My. My thinky bits hurt.
I clawed back control and forced the bad feelings down. Groundramon wasn't an enemy, he was Xia's teacher and friend!
As the feels to destroy stuff cleared, Xia heard Groundramon calling.
"... kid kid you okay there?" I blinked slowly and put up a fake chuckle
"Yep yep! Did Xia scared you?" Groundramon relaxed a bit, grumbling at my answer.
"Hmph. Alright you've gotten a bit better at fighting kid. But you've got to work on your self control. I pulled the flip trick before on you. You should've been able have recognize that."
I lowered my head at his words. Not meant to hurt me, but still my mistake. He chuffed in a better mood after that
"But your Air-Walk has improved drastically I guess. Even if your movements with it still need work. So well done there." I smiled! he was complimenting Xia!
"Thanks Groundramon!" He rolled his eyes for some reason. "Alright you little rascal. Time for your work out. Let's get you patched up and we'll get started.
"Yep! Yep!" Xia agreed cheerily, and fell in step behind him. But after a few steps I began to frown. Me when fighting could get pretty angry and dumb. Like Xia back in lava-place fighting foemon to survive. What if Xia tried destroying ExVeemon or... Boymon? They was fast sure, but if Xia me got her claws on them... I sighed and shook my head. It's fine. Xia is Xia even if angry I wouldn't delete Boymon or ExVeemon. I'm better then that! I'm Xia!
