„We bait with Thunder first“, Anniebelle said. „Molly and her frog will counter with Forest, and then I will just ash him. Mission complete!“
„If we get her by surprise“, you said, slightly concerned. „I mean, she will clearly see your type, after all.“
„But I look just like the sheep now, do I not?“ Anniebelle frowned. „She will see me and think `Huh, the sheep has evolved. Nothing new here´, and it will just work out, no?“ She smiled with glee. „She will never see the dragon coming!“
„You think?“ You reached around your new selfproclaimed ´bestest beastie´ and patted her tail. „This one is still on fire.“
„Oh.“ She made a genuine surprised sound. Silently you wondered, had Belle dampened Annie´s usually sharp witts just so slightly? But, maybe it was just a little to much, in general, for both of them. Anniebelle had been smart enough to win the naming discussion, after all.
„I will just hide this.“ Anniebelle tugged the tail under her skirt.
„Sadly“, you said flatly, „we will brawl in swimsuits.“
„Gosh, darn it! - I will just distract her!“ And she gave her generous bust a slap. Her breasts bounced and swayed.
You couldn´t help it – you had to look. „Have you somehow unlocked enhanced jiggle physics?“
„So you see it, too, right? Look!“ Anniebelle raised her arm, boobs bobbing.
„Believe me, I look.“
„Must be the size. Maybe I jumped a treshold or something“, she mused, lowering her arm and sending her tits into another wobble. „Or it might be the dress. Maybe you should try it on?“
„Thank you, I pass.“
„Later then, maybe“, Anniebelle chirped. „Now let´s go!“
Cobalt Cities Arena had a strict house rule: No normal clothes, only swimwear. This was true not only for the trainers, but the BeastMon, too. A special lens, strapped on the BeastCube, dressed the beasties up the right way. Speaking for yourself, you had to change clothes in old fashion. Like last time, you choose a blue one-piece with ruffels at the hips. You felt like a little girl – you were in terms of body only ten, in fact – who had lost her way to the children´s pool and found herself surrounded by mean teenagers. Every trainer in this all-female Arena looked at you as you came near the pool.
„So the guppy is back“, Molly said, the black-haired beauty dressed in her red bikini. „Welcome, Lu-... Lulu?“
„Lucy“, you spoke up, „from Rainbow Town!“
„Ah, right, from there. You know what, kid? Let´s make this a quick one. I will just see if you learned a lesson, and if you did, you can have the Crest. So, just beat my Gamanin, and victory is yours. After all, this is only your second Arena, and I should not punish you too hard for your big mouth. Deal?“
„Deal!“, you answered promptly. „Let´s do this!“ You summoned your newest trump card. Out of the Cube jumped Anniebelle, dressed in a pink bikini. By the last time Belle had also worn pink, so that was good, right? It would hide the real nature of the new `Belle´ even better. However, her red tail was in full display … but Molly did not notice. She looked waaay higher.
„Wow“, she said, her voice just a tiny bit higher than usual. „So the sheep has evolved.“
„Yeah“, you answered immediately, „nothing new here.“
Molly threw her own BeastCube, and out jumped the frog-ninja. „Right, So the outcome will still be the same!“
It really worked? No, don´t lose any more time! „An-... Belle, hit him! Lightning Shock!“
Molly frowned. Had you just slipped? „Gamanin, Weed Whip!“
The guy in his aquamarin ninja-suit pulled out a knife, and it promptly transformed into a leaf-green whip, deflecting the electric missile. He turned himself green, too, signaling his change of type from Ocean to Forest. After that, Gamanin got on the offense. The whip lashed out, hit Anniebelle and wrapped around her. Your BeastMon yelped in quite the convincing way, as he pulled tight and prepared to toss her around.
Molly shook her head. „This is really just the same, is it not?“
„It is not!“, you shouted, and Anniebelle smiled, flames already flickering at her lips.
„Gotcha!“ And then there was fire, a lot of it.
