Characters: Manaphy, Squirtle (And other spectators?)
What: Sparring match for Mr. G&W's class.
Where: Pokemon Stadium 1 (Windmills and stuff yay!)
When: July 3rd (Technically started on the 4th but WE WERE BUSY!)
Rating: PG

It seemed like yesterday that Manaphy had left his home to enroll in sumabura. Now, he was to use all his knowledge gained from the Smash Fundamentals class to see how well he could fight in a real smash battle. Despite his inexperience with fighting, his training hopefully would help him through this one.

"Mana..." Manaphy sighed as he tried to concentrate his thoughts so that he would not be as nervous.

Although his opponent was no other than his good friend - Squirtle - he did not want to give in easily in this match. Manaphy's antennae glowed intensely as his mind was cleared of most petty fears. Thankfully the stage itself was not intimidating as well...the Pokemon Stadium was new to him, yes. But since it was supposed to be his "world" stage, Manaphy felt better. Despite that he was not in his Pokemon form - it would have hindered him greatly since Manaphy had stubby legs to move around with - he felt as if were (strangely) at home.

So on one side of this stage, Manaphy waited for Squirtle to arrive.

Squirtle this time tried his best to stay focused, he managed to use a dash that left water behind him, kind of like that water shell tackle he had in his turtle form only it worked in this form as well, although not quite as quick.

While he needed more training he managed to dodge the first two punches with speed but the lag in his moves let the kick get him in the stomach. "Squirt-" He felt the kick sink in. Stomach's sure were more fragile then in his turtle form, he'd have to remember to avoid hits in there. His back could be a weak spot too.

But he was determined to win! He shook off the sharp pain and tried to get behind Manaphy to do a upward water fall attack.

"Phii-ah!" Manaphy got hit pretty squarely on back with the waterfall, but he quickly ducked in order to escape the final burst of water that would have sent him near the ledge of the stage.

Just as swiftly, he did a counter on the remainder of Squirtle's waterfall attack. Gathering the water generated from the fall, Manaphy condensed it into orbs that fit well in his hands. Then he flash froze them into sharp points, and performed an upward slash.
