Calcabrina managed to dodge her way out of the way from the ray, but the thunderbolt hit her dead on. She managed to hold on, summoning the sun once again. Spinning above her target, she let loose a torrent of flames with Ember. The sun's power boosted it. She managed to actually seemingly shrug off the thunderbolt, but it still hurt.
<"Take this, Miss Himiko!"> She kept her stream of flames steady. If she could keep this up, she may very well be able to damage Himiko greatly!
::CastformS:: Weak Mood: Determined Calcabrina was hit by Thunderbolt and avoided Confuse Ray, but used Ember and Sunny Day!

Himiko braced herself and was hit by Ember; it burned her but it wasn't enough to seriously hurt her. Calcabrina would most likely learn even stronger moves of her respective weather moves. Himiko had to exercise a bit of caution now. ::froslass:: <"Good. I hope Miss Adeleine will teach you some threatening skills,"> said the Snow Land Pokemon. She let loose another flash of light at Calcabrina before hurling a Shadow Ball straight at her.
- Himiko was hit by Ember! It's super-effective!
- Himiko used Confuse Ray + Ice Beam!

The weather pokemon couldn't dodge again, smacked hard by the shadow ball. She sighed, the pain wasn't as bad as last time. It felt bad though, her body ached like this every day. She was used to it after a week, though. After all, only good could come of it in the end. She heard Adeleine complain about Team Death.
<"You think we can stop Team Death?"> Calcabrina mused, floating up and floating with Himiko. She started to head back to the trainers, but glanced back at Himiko.
<"Coming?"> The pokemon giggled, wanting to discuss this with her more.
::CastformS:: Mood: Tired Calcabrina was fainted and gained 1 level!

Himiko had heard Alexander's own outburst about this so-called Team Death; it was very clear that Alexander definitely wanted to stop Team Death from destroying Cheyenne's history but what about after that? Would he want to keep fighting? She knew Alexander to be one to do things on a whim and that kind of nature might cause him to get...bored. ::froslass:: <"If Alexander is successful in recruiting strong allies then I believe he will be able to do whatever he desires with Team Death. However, knowing him, he will be excessively violent towards them after what Silva told him,"> she replied.

Calcabrina smiled, floating around. She didn't really get it, but it sounded fun. They'd go on adventures together. She giggled, floating back farther from the beach.
<"We can be on a team together! Working hard!"> Calcabrina was relieved, happy about all of this. Now, she had to call it a day. They'd probably spend about another week doing this if she estimated correctly. She was gushing with excitement, this was so different and new! She couldn't wait for more adventures!
Day 8
They finally made it back through a full week. Himiko was getting a bit easier to handle, but she still had a ways to go. This time, she was determined to put up a good fight. She didn't see Himiko anywhere, but she learned from last time. Preparing a stance, she was ready to go.
<"Ready when you are!"> She called out, ready to spar. She'd try harder every day. If that wasn't enough, she'd die trying!
::Castform:: Mood: Determined Calcabrina is braced!

Himiko was getting used Calcabrina's cherry attitude; it was a bit peeving at first but she finally let it start sliding. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing but it was strange to hear such cheer from a student of a rigorous teacher. However, there was something she had to let the Weather Pokemon know about their special guest. ::froslass:: <"It appears I have been followed. Could you take care of him for me, Calcabrina?"> she asked. Suddenly, a bulge in the sand popped up and a Torchic appeared; it was Ares! He had an Expert Belt tied around his head like a headband and he was flapping his very tiny wings to throw off sand. ::torchic:: <"I knew you were up to something, Himiko! Does Alex know about this? I'm guessing he doesn't!"> said the Chick Pokemon. It seemed as though he was trying to sound threatening.

Calcabrina panicked, someone followed them!? Oh no, oh no, oh nonono! This wouldn't do! This wouldn't do at all! What if Adeleine found out!? All would be lost! She quickly summoned rain, and gave him a blast of water with Water Gun.
<"On it!"> She'd knock him out cold if it was the last thing she did! She couldn't let this little chick know about this, no matter what. She wanted to surprise Adeleine, not be scolded like this!
::CastformR:: Mood: Determined Calcabrina used Rain Dance and Water Gun!

Ares was completely caught off-guard; it started raining so suddenly! He thought it was some kind of amazing Water-type attack but it just turned out to be a simple weather change. However, he was unprepared for the Pokemon Himiko was with; he was hit by a powerful blast of water. At least, it felt like it was. He was knocked out almost instantly. ::torchic:: <"Cruel world..."> whispered Ares before he fainted. Himiko crossed her arms and nodded. ::froslass:: <"Good. A skill that powerful will probably keep his mouth shut and maybe give him a hint of amnesia,"> said the Snow Land Pokemon. She then turned her attention to Calcabrina. <"Prepare yourself,"> said Himiko. She then unleashed a furious barrage of lightning bolts at her.
- Ares was hit by Water Gun! It's super-effective!
- Ares fainted! Ares gains 1 level(s)!
- Himiko used Thunderbolt!

It hurt worse this time. It must be the amplification of water in her body, because the electricity conducted worse than the first time. She changed types, so naturally this was to be expected. Letting out a cry, she instantly blacked out. She lay next to Ares, unable to move. Not sure what to do, she lifted up her head at Himiko. <"That was...awful..."> She was happy she at least knocked out Ares, but Himiko was going to have problems. What if he told Alexander and everybody found out? She really liked these lessons with Himiko, she was a good friend. Mood: Disoriented Calcabrina fainted and gained 1 level! Thunderbolt was super effective!

::froslass:: <"It seems this weather will be quite detrimental to your ability to survive my spells. I do not wish to restrict you to one weather but you must know the time and place for whichever weather you wish to borrow strength from,"> said Himiko. She was actually glad the sun didn't come out again; she missed the rainy season of spring. It was quite nice to stay inside and talk with... ::froslass:: <"..."> Himiko caught herself thinking of her past and suddenly became quiet. She immediately had to think of something else; those memories were not hers to cherish. She shook her head, picked up Ares, and quickly left.

Day 9
Everything had been smoothed out, and no one noticed a thing. Alexander may have been a bit suspicious, but she'd have to ask Himiko. Maybe she'd know what was going on. Did Ares remember anything? She was starting to get nervous. Adeleine hadn't said anything to her at least.
<"So...what happened?"> Calcabrina mused outloud, unsure of what to do. At least by this point she felt a bit empowered, so she wouldn't have to worry about the future too much.
::Castform:: Mood: Pensive Calcabrina is thinking!

Himiko wasn't worried about Ares at all; if anything, he had to be afraid of her. She made sure to let him know about what would happen if either Adeleine or Alexander found out. ::froslass:: <"If he decides to get out of line, then Metatron and Alraune will take care of him. He's still very inexperienced. Isn't that right, Ares?"> she asked. Suddenly, a bulge in the sand shook; Ares had followed her again! Unbelievable. himiko gestured for Calcabrina to take care of him again. <"I will let you change the weather to whatever you wish before the fight begins.">

Calcabrina sighed, that thing followed them again? What was his name? Ares? He must be new. She didn't recall him being on their last team. Oh well, that was all that mattered. She was going to manipulate it to rain, but then she'd lose out to a certain someone rather easily. Sun would help, but then she couldn't defeat him. Hail wouldn't help her cause, either. She'd just have to go with rain again. Summoning a cloud of rain, she shot off another Water Gun at Ares.
Elsewhere, Syl-Chan had taken over Libicocco's body. Lurking around, she began pelting the area with paint. Making mischief as usual, she snickered. She then noticed Calcabrina, what was she doing out there? She was that brat's first pokemon. Was that a Froslass? Those made lots of money. Reading herself, she launched a Gunk Shot at Froslass all the while snickering.

Himiko wasn't too worried about Ares as he was knocked out on the spot once again. He really wasn't too good at taking special attacks or most attacks in general; he was still very young. Himiko was just about to return to speaking with Calcabrina when she saw an unknown projectile flying towards her!! She quickly dove out of the way and responded with a furious Ice Beam from her Icy Rock in the direction the Gunk Shot came from.
- Himiko used Ice Beam on Libbicocco!

Calcabrina wasn't sure what was going on, so she just assumed that possibly Himiko missed her or something. Seeing a moment of weakness, she launched a Water Gun at Himiko. She was supposed to win at all costs, right? Maybe she could impress Himiko this way! Syl-Chan was KO'd on the spot, not even sure of what happened. Did her pranks suck this much!? She let Libbicocco take over, who would surely be confused. After a moment, Libbicocco regained control. <"Huh? Not again, Adeleine must be worried...."> Libbicocco pondered, walking back to Adeleine's staying area. Maybe she would know what happened? Mood: Happy Calcabrina used Water Gun on Himiko!Mood: Confused Syl-Chan fainted and gained 1 level! Libicocco returned to Adeleine!

Once the Smeargle left the area, Himiko was struck by a stream of water! She didn't even realize she was struck before as she was surprised by the Gunk Shot and decided that that was much more threatening than the Water Gun. Calcabrina wasn't waiting for her teacher to start which was definitely a good start; hesitation often ends up being costly. She fired off a Confuse Ray before summoning a barrage of lightning bolts to crash down from the sky at Calcabrina.
- Himiko used Confuse Ray + Thunderbolt!

That darned lightning, the third time she fell for that trick! She struggled away from the ray again, but the lightning bolt was still too quick for her poor body to handle. Considering her entire being conducted lightning, it was a major thorn in her side. Rain Dance and Forecast only made matters worse. Dropping to the ground, she fainted in defeat <"Ugh...I'll get the better of that someday."> She felt her tactics had improved, but she wasn't sure what she should do from there. This is what Himiko was on. She expected her critiques. Mood: Tired Calcabrina fainted and gained 1 level!

Himiko nodded; she admitted that she was careless in forgetting who her target was. She was just surprised at the fact that someone else had followed Calcabrina this time. She quickly flew over to Ares and picked him up. ::froslass:: <"We must exercise more caution when coming here. I cannot guarantee that we will be able to keep this up without someone revealing these secret training sessions,"> said Himiko. She then left with Ares to return to Alexander.

Day 10
Calcabrina had painstakingly made sure that no one followed her today. Thankfully, she told Himiko to relocate to another part of the beach. She picked a rock about a mile farther out, which was easy to traverse when you floated. Everybody else walked, so they would have a harder time getting here. She was ready this time, not letting up for a moment.
<"Ready at all times..."> She mumbled to herself quietly, waiting for an attack on all fronts.
::Castform:: Mood: Determined Calcabrina is ready!

As Calcabrina entered the promised meeting place, Himiko was watching from a hiding spot; she would normally never do this but she had to continue teaching Calcabrina about ambushes. They were an unfortunate reality that must be prepared for even when you don't know when they will happen. She flew out from behind a rock and fired a Thunder Wave at Calcabrina before diving back behind the rock for cover.
- Himiko used Thunder Wave!
