To help train (Aster)

I wait for Aster where her and Myukou usually meet at the tree that is Myukou's. Unlike usual I am in my Cyndaquil form with a smile on my face resting under the tree. I would like to try to help the cute little Leafeon in some way and I hoped that this would.

Aster comes to the tree, looking to see if Myukou or maybe Kaiyu is resting in its shade and looking into the sky. Instead she sees a smiling Cyndaquil. I don't think this one is Aquila, Yippy's Cyndaquil. Its face looks a bit different. 'Hi, I'm Aster,' she greets you with a bow, 'isn't this a fine day?'

I nod, "It's not my type of day, but meh." I get up and I go over to her and give her a hug. "You probably don't recognize me in this form, but you know who I am." I giggle and wave my Cyndaquil arms over her ticklish belly. "Would you like to have some fun with me Aster?"

Aster fails to suppress amusement induced by the touching of her grassy tummy. 'I don't know anyone who can formchange except for Pokemon who use Transform,' she giggles, 'but they can only shift into the shape of the Pokemon they're facing. Sorry, I don't know who you are. Still, I like to have fun with new friends, so I would love to have fun with you.'

I giggle and smile at her. "Well, I have a few species I can transform into. But this one is the best for the challenges I have prepared for you." I start to stroke her tummy in a comforting way instead of trying to tickle her. "I have a couple of challenges for you, and if you pass them all, then I'll give you a gift. These challenges are supposed to improve you in some ways, improve as in become a better battler and such. So would you like to play this game?" I continued to hug her really hoping that she'd say yes.

Aster purrs as you pet her belly and hugs you back. 'Someone I know who has a few species he can transform into,' she thinks aloud, trying to puzzle out your riddle. Aster is relaxed enough that the conundrum isn't enough to throw her into confusion, which saves her Lum Berry for a more important time. Not like it would be a problem, as the little Leafeon almost always has a Lum Berry equipped, courtesy of being a daughter of the rather rich Eon nobility. 'If this form is the best for these challenges, then I suppose they involve fire. I'm not very good at fighting fire at all. Yippy advises I stay away from fire-type opponents whenever possible. Thus, extra training for cases where I'm up against a wall could be very helpful.' She purrs and nods happily. 'I'd be glad to play this game with you.'

I giggle at her speaking and I continue to hug her. "yes some do involve fire," I tell her. "And what you said is one of the main reasons I'm doing this. I would like to help you against fire types so that you're no longer so weak to them. Unlike silly Yippers who thinks the best idea is to run away from them, I figure it'd be better if you could make the advantage yours, and surprise your opponents." I giggle again and smile. "Wouldn't that be nice?"

'You're a comfy Cyndaquil,' says Aster, sinking into your arms. 'That would be great,' she says sleepily, 'I can use Water Gun but it's very weak and takes a lot of concentration. It is an established theory that Yippy is silly. Gaining advantages is nice and I like surprises. Please show me what you have. Let's start, after this,' Aster meows like a cat and falls asleep. It seems the arms of Aster's friends tend to make pleasant pillows.

I smile and hold the cute Leafeon in my arms for a while before transferring her to the side of the tree and getting ready the first challenge. When she wakes up she has a feather, rope, and a loud blowhorn thingy. She'll also realize that she can't use her grassy powers when she tries. I stand afar from her with a smirk. "Good morning Aster," I tell her. "I've prepared the first challenge. It's pretty basic. What you have to do is defeat me. You can basically use anything that you can do. So good luck, and I hope you win." I give her a cute wink and smile.

Aster awakes with a feline yawn and listens to your challenge. When she tries to use her grass-related moves and can't, she shivers, 'Aster's scared,' she admits. 'What happened to Aster?'

I giggle and give her a smile. "I made it so that you temporarily can't use your grass moves. This will only last as long as the challenge does. As I said, it's supposed to be a challenge." I give her a wink and a happy look to try to make her happier.

'Okay, I trust you,' she returns, 'eat this!' She dashes toward you with a Quick Attack.

I quickly dodge out of the way of the attack and give a smirk. "You're going to have to do more than that," I say with a smile.

Aster sits down by the blowhorn, balances it between her forepaws, raises it to her mouth, and blares into it. 'Come and get me, you silly excuse for a fire mouse,' she Taunts.

(Leafeon cannot learn Taunt. Consider this a weapon-granted move.)

(I consider some moves as ones they should all be able to do, remember I don't play by rules ;3)

"EEP!" I cry out as the loud noise of the blowhorn makes me unable to do anything for that turn. The noise hurts my ears and thusly I give into the pain and hold my ears making me prime and vulnerable for Aster.

'Yay,' yips Aster at her success. She runs over to the stunned Cyndaquil and gives him a Sky Uppercut. Her baba would be proud.

While the sky uppercut seems like it'd work well it does little to the Cyndaquil and I just smile at her. "That was good, but I'm afraid you're going to have to do more," I told her.

'It didn't work? Your Defense stat must be too high. The Eon family has a nice remedy for that. Isn't my leafy tail cute?' so saying, Aster Tail Whips you.

I giggle at that, and explain to her, "My defense for this challenge will be too high to do anything to, you're going to find a different way to get me."

Aster picks up the blowhorn a second time and blares, 'Okay! Prepare for Aster elite technique wave two!'

"EEEP!" I cried out experiencing the same effect as when she did it the time prior*

Aster says, 'Mommy can defeat everyone, except Baba. Baba just tickles Mommy and she loses. It's really funny to watch them. I wonder if that's what's needed in this case.' She places the feather in a slit in her forepaw, rolls you into a sitting position, and applies the feather to your fire mouse tummy.

I laugh hard at this and start squirming all around the place in ticklish laughter. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHH!" I laugh as I'm unable to do anything but roll around and laugh, bumping into Aster a few times.

'Does that mean I win?' Aster asks you, now brushing the feather against your Cyndaquil feet.

I laugh even harder and squirm even more giving off quick nods shouting, "YES YES!!!! YOU WIN!" just wanting the tickling to end.
