Calcabrina nodded, happy that Himiko was okay. That should have acted as an anti-burn substance, helping the burn heal. She would probably be better by morning, Calcabrina mused to herself, prompting her to float and spin with joy. She then went off the other direction back to Adeleine, hoping she wouldn't have to run away like that. She still felt a bit guilty, but Himiko didn't seem bothered by it.
<"See you tomorrow!"> Calcabrina cheered, floating back to her trainer. They'd get to resume normal activity tomorrow!
Day 13
It was time for a new day! Calcabrina was completely neutral, glad the cloudy weather was here to shoo the snow and rain away. The weather had just been awful lately. Himiko wasn't here yet, but she was sure she'd be here today. Bracing herself, she was ready for any sudden sneak attacks in Himiko's lesson plan.
::CastformS:: Mood: Happy Calcabrina is ready!

Himiko returned with a rather happy expression on her face; she seemed warm which was quite rare. She came to the shore and was ready for Calcabrina. Instead of exchanging words, she flew into the air and sent off a Thunder Wave at the Weather Pokemon. ::froslass:: <'I have arrived!"> said the Snow Land Pokemon. She quickly flew back down towards the ground and waited for Calcabrina's response.
- Himiko used Thunder Wave!

Calcabrina was ready for this, dodging the wave of thunder aimed at her. She smiled, glad that Himiko was in such good spirits. She'd fight without the help of the weather this time, launching a stream of fire at the snow woman. She'd try not to burn her this time.
<"Nice to see you, Himiko!"> Calcabrina cheered, glad they could battle on good terms. Himiko was in an oddly cheerful mood, which was a nice change of pace. She wondered what today's outcome would be!

Himiko braced herself for impact and the Ember struck her hands. However, she avoided getting burned and threw her hands out at her sides. Lightning bolts flew out from behind Himiko and were headed straight at Calcabrina. ::froslass:: <"Take this!"> she shouted. She threw her Icy Rock into the air and a bright light was aimed at the Weather Pokemon in the form of a Confuse Ray!
- Himiko used Thunderbolt + Confuse Ray!

The lightning struck her dead on, compounding when the confusion hit her. She floated around, confused about where she was. Was this real? She tried to launch a stream of water, but it blew up in her face. Ow. She dizzily floated around the arena. Seems like she wasn't quite there, yet. She'd have to try harder next time, then.
::Castform:: Mood: Confused Calcabrina was hit by Thunderbolt and hit herself in her confusion!

Himiko threw her Icy Rock into the air once again and it started floating by itself! It started spinning and it was gathering snow crystals into itself. Himiko took the time to speak as it charged. ::froslass:: <"You'll defeat me some day. However, you will have to overcome me as your teacher. Do you believe you can overcome me?"> she asked. She then pointed to Calcabrina and the Icy Rock fired an Ice Beam at her.

Calcabrina confusedly rammed into the beam the ice. She couldn't even any longer see where she was going. That was it for her, though; as she tried to get up and blast her with fire. Alas, the fire blew up in her face; causing her to faint on the spot on the ground. She almost had it this time! She was almost where she needed to be. She got up, shaking off the delirium.
<"I'll get you next time!"> Calcabrina cheered before floating off back to Adeleine. She had to be more prepared next time.
::Castform:: Mood: Determined Calcabrina fainted and gained one level!

On the fourteenth day of training, Himiko flew onto the familiar beach that she had been visiting for a two weeks now. The ocean was still gently returning to shore every so often. She was wondering where Calcabrina was; she was usually always on time. Could Adeleine have gotten a bit too suspicious? That could happen; that Adeleine was a sharp girl.

OOC: BGMAfter fourteen days of being mercilessly beat into the ground, Calcabrina has finally understood what was making her lose. She was letting Himiko attack first! If she took the initiative, she'd win! She summoned the sun, letting the sunbeams focus themselves on Himiko like a spotlight. She then dashed out from behind the sand dune she was hiding behind, floating up and spinning. <"I've got you now, Himiko! Ember twister!"> She began spinning, launching a powered up Ember loose. She'd win this time, she knew it! ::CastformS:: Mood: Determined Calcabrina used Ember and Sunny Day!

Himiko was suddenly surrounded by a funnel of flames; she had let her guard down! She covered her face with her arms but the fire was all around her. She peeked out from behind her arms to try to locate Calcabrina; there she was! She flew up into the air out of the twister like a Goldeen out of a whirlpool. She spun her Icy Rock in the air and it unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts down at the Weather Pokemon. ::froslass:: <She ambushed me this time? Excellent,> thought Himiko. Calcabrina was definitely utilizing what she taught her; thought it wasn't direct, she hoped that Calcabrina would learn that attacking first would most likely result in a win!

Calcabrina was ready to show off the first thing she learned. Manipulating the air currents around her, she propelled herself away from the thunderbolts. Launching herself at Himiko, she gave herself the force she needed to get ready to ram her. Preparing Ember, she began spinning. In an odd mood, she was fond of calling out her attacks.
<"Ember Spiral Twister!"> She exclaimed, encasing her body in embers. Thanks to Forecast, she didn't feel it at all. This was great, she was basically a flaming projectile!

Himiko used her incredible Speed to descend suddenly and quickly; she didn't even move! Her body simply started flying downward to avoid Calcabrina's Ember. She then gathered energy into her right hand and pointed up into the sky at Calcabrina. ::froslass:: <"Cold Sign! Instant Freezing Beam!"> she shouted. An Ice Beam erupted from her hand and into the sky like a pillar of bright light!

Manipulating the wind again, she pushed herself out of the way. It was really handy, but costly. She wouldn't be able to dodge out of the way of the ice much. She countered the beam, firing back with Ember. She'd beat the beam of ice back to Himiko if it was the last thing she did.
<"Ember, full power!"> Calcabrina was dead set on winning. After two weeks, she had to make sure her training came to fruition. Himiko would see her true strength! The strength of the grace stomper, Calcabrina!
::CastformS:: Mood: Determined Calcabrina dodged Ice Beam and locked it back with Ember!

Though Himiko's Ice Beam would benefit from STAB, it was ultimately weak to Calcabrina's Ember; fire would always beat ice. She kept pouring her strength into the attack to try to fight back against the onslaught of flames but her power was waning; Calcabrina was truly showing her strength against her teacher this time. Would today be the promised day?
<Perhaps it is...time to rest for a while,> thought the Snow Land Pokémon. Everything that has happened up until today was not wasted; Calcabrina had truly grown from a rather discouraged bystander to a confident and overpowering opponent. The strian on Himiko's right hand was great; it was shaking as it tried to maintain the Ice Beam. She knew she was going to lose this time.
<"Very good,"> said Himiko. The Ice Beam was then obliterated and the flames engulfed her with a large flame on the shore; it looked like a bonfire out at the beach. She fell onto the sand on her side and was breathing heavily; she had lost.
- Himiko fainted! Himiko gained 1 level(s)!

Calcabrina huffed, the sunlight fading away behind the thick; fluffy clouds. She floated over to the defeated body of Himiko, who was completely winded; she'd fix that. Floating and somewhat sitting down on the sand next to her, she gazed out at the cloudy overcast over the sea. She had finally bested her, her dream. This was the end though, right? She'd done this and that meant...
<"It's over, right?"> Calcabrina said in a sad way, sad that she had finally really reached her goal. The realization that it was over crept up in her mind. She started to sniffle and cry, the tears hitting the sand.
<"B-but I don't want it to be over!"> Calcabrina started to sniffle and cry like a baby. She'd made such a good friend! She didn't want to lose her.
::Castform:: Mood: Somber Calcabrina is sad!
