Sinful's back bitches~! And before you ask, yes, it's that kind of Sayjin.
Kyle, Luther, and Conner decided to help Marcy train. The buko all spared in three on one matches, Marcy insisted that the added stress and pressure of it would do only good for buko. The others knew she was going overboard, but they didn't want to argue with her, and her buko did improve after each battle. Marcy herself began battling as well, sparing with the other tamers.
The battles weren't much to speak of at first, at everyone was worried about hurting Marcy. Then Marcy flipped Kyle over her head and dropped it to the ground, and things got real. The sparing became a real fight between Luther and Marcy for a few minutes, whether Marcy was aware of it or not. Luther, when truly pissed off, could be a tad bit dangerous in a battle, if only through pure berserker rage.
Marcy had gotten incredibly good at evading attacks and dealing quick strikes, a signature water strategy. Conner, wanting to try and stop Marcy but not wanting to actually hurt her, fell back on his signature strategy of subduing and overpowering, the same way he caught buko. Marcy, for as good as she had gotten, would not have been able to handle Luther and Conner at the same time.
And that, however, was when her water chi finally kicked in. Marcy began moving faster and stronger than she had been able to before. With her element activated, she was essentially fighting with all the strength of a buko. A well trained buko with Marcy's neurotic need to keep winning. Luther and Conner were both dropped in less than a minutes after that, both with the same attack that blasted out chi energy in a small radius around her, throwing both of the boys back.
"Good..sparring.." Marcy panted, seemingly unaware of the fact that it had very much not been sparring by the end.
The buko had improved a good deal as well. Kest's flight speed and attack power had increased a great deal, and he managed to knock out Magi, Tom and Ethan by keeping to the air and raining down attacks from above. James had taken down Lee, Behemoth and Conner's Bondage Elf Corbon by keeping his distance and firing magic bullets, as his magical ability, accuracy, and firing speed had all gone up. Richard's skill set had completely changed. No longer a sex battler, he had crack-shot aim with his bow, his plant elemental aura unlocked, and his magical potential for is arrows trained hard. Gabriel had taken down Bryce, Danny, and Conner's Vinebro Jeremy all at once. As a Slime Prince, his ability to overwhelm and force opponents to cum had only improved immensely. Colin hadn't quite managed to knock out Aquarius, Mike, and Conner's Sir Richie, Aquarius shell made that difficult, but he did managed to take down Mike and Richie, his fire and physical power both having increased a great deal.
By the end of it, all the buko were tired and sore, same for the tamers. They returned to the center, healed, and repeated the process over, then again, then again. Marcy was determined to keep going, and she seemed to have rubbed off on her buko as well. The next day, after another trip to the center to heal, Marcy headed to first gym.
The place resembled a large dojo, and was filled with martial artists training themselves and their buko. The gym leader, a large, buff martial artist with what appeared to be several different black belts around his waist, laughed when he saw Marcy approaching. "Couldn't leave it at three losses could you? Already back for more?"
Marcy grit her teeth, sending out Kest. He chuckled sending out a tall armored buko wielding a sword.
Armsman, the ultimate fighting buko. Known for making their own armor and weapons, and never taking them off except for taming, they are fierce warriors who can evolve from an Armachan, Armalee, or a Warrior Angel. Those who evolve from the latter have functioning wings, and the weapon used varies from buko to buko.
This Armsman had no wings, and held his broadsword aloft against Kest, who took to the air immediately. Kest kept a distance at first, firing several barrages of feather shurikens. Many of them were deflected by armor, but some managed to hit through the chinks in the armor. The Armsman only had one distance attack, firing a sword beam up at Kest, but Kest could avoid it easily and it took a bit to recharge it after using. This gave Kest plenty of time to fire his feather shurikens.
After several minutes of this, Marcy had Kest use whirlwind, which caused the Armsman to jam his sword into the ground to keep himself steady. With the sword down, Kest flew in and hit the Armsman with wing attack, which hit directly and knocked the buko away from it's sword. Kest then used gust, forming a small twister around the Armsman and sending him flying into the ceiling.
The Armsman fell back to the ground, shaking his head to clear it, only to get hit by Kest, who flew at him with aerial ace. The attack caused several things to happen. The power of the attack caused a good deal of damage to the Armsman, who felt it through the armor and was weak to flying attacks, it caused the armor to crack, and it dazed Kest, who's head had crashed into the armor.
Kest staggered, and got knocked out by a hilt shot from the Armsman, who picked his sword back up before slamming the handle of it against Kest's head. Marcy didn't seem shocked or even upset by it, likely having planned it out. She recalled him, sending out Colin. Marcy knew from experience that the Armsman's sword could cleave through Colin's scales with almost no effort, but now he wouldn't get the chance.
Colin poured out fire with flame thrower, not letting up as the Armsman tried to rush through it towards him. When he got close, Colin cut the fire and dodged away from the sword slash, and used metal claw on the crack in the armor. The previous damage to the armor mixed with the intense heat from the flame thrower cause the armor to break off from the metal claw strike, leaving the fighting type buko's torso exposed to attack.
Colin couldn't attack immediately though, getting elbowed back away from the Armsman. Colin got back up quickly, jumping back to avoid the sword again. Colin send several fire balls at the Armsman, but they were all deflected by the Armsman's sword as he moved in close. Colin blocked the first sword strike with metal claw, getting kneed in the gut. When he staggered back, he got a slashed with the sword across his shoulder.
Colin yelped, recoiling from the strike. The Armsman pointed his blade at Coli for a point blank sword beam, only for Colin to let out smoke screen, obscuring the both of them. The sword beam missed, firing up and hitting the ceiling. Colin let out another blast of fire, sending the Armsman back, and doing extra damage now that he was no longer armored.
Another metal claw from Colin knocked out the Armsman. The gym leader actually looked impressed as he recalled his buko, "Not bad, you managed to get passed him with more than one buko left this time." He chuckled, sending out his other remaining buko, a tall monkey like buko with an excited grin, a Sayjin.
Sayjin, the fighting monkey buko. These buko live for battle, constantly seeking out stronger and stronger opponents for no other reason than to test their own physical and chi/ki strength.
"A Sayjin!?" Kyle questioned. "No wonder he's only got two buko," Conner said, "He only needs two."
Marcy didn't look worried. She'd fought the Sayjin before, and trained for it. She didn't recall Colin, leaving her weakened Alpha out to battle; more specifically to chip away a little at the Sayjin's health before he got knocked out.
Colin shot a fire ball, and immediately spun on his heals. The Sayjin avoided the fire ball so fast he seemed to just vanish into this air, appearing behind Colin, and getting a metal claw to the jaw for it. It didn't do a whole lot of damage, but an attack had connected, which was more than most could do.
"It's never smart to keep repeating the same strategy." Marcy called to the gym leader while Colin blasted flame thrower point blank at the Sayjin, as Marcy had instructed him to do before the battle even took place. The Sayjin reached out, grabbing Colin around the throat, cutting off the fire. Colin scratched at the Sayjin's hand, his claws not breaking the skin.
The Sayjin, with no effort, sent the Charmiles into the air, where he was caught by the Sayjin in midair and thrown back to the ground with a chi-blast following. Colin smashed into the ground, the chi-blast hitting him on the ground. When the smoke cleared, Colin was unconscious in a smoldering crater in the gym floor. Marcy recalled Colin, sending out James.
The Sayjin dashed at James, who used bounced and fired down at the Sayjin. The normal bullets bounced off the Sayjin's skin, but the magic bullets made him wince. He fired a chi blast, and James used bounce on the ceiling to avoid the blast, and caused debris to rain down on the Sayjin. The Sayjin avoided it, but in doing so stopped paying attention to James, who began firing charged magic bullets.
The bullets actually knocked the Sayjin back and he growled, getting up and beginning to charge up to use Ki Cannon, the Sayjin special ability attack. James didn't fire at the Sayjin as he charged his ki energy, as James was charging up as well, sending as much of his magic into his bullets as possible. The buko buko stared each other down for several moments, both beginning to glow from the power they were building up.
The Sayjin fired first, sending a blast of energy at James, who bounced to avoid it and fired a full charged bolt of magic from his guns. The Sayjin couldn't move to dodge, not mid-attack, and the magical ball of energy hit him directly, causing a mini-explosion that blasted the Sayjin into the wall, making it crack behind him. The Sayjin actually looked hurt, tired to from having used so much energy on the attack.
James opened up a rapid fire barrage on the Sayjin. The bullets weren't charged, so they didn't do a whole lot, but they were the most James could do now. The Sayjin pried himself up from the wall and fired a chi-blast at James. The Gun Bunny jumped, continuing to fire at the Sayjin until he rushed forward, jumping up and mach punching James into the ground, knocking him out.
Marcy recalled James and sent out Richard. Richard immediately drew his bow and fired an arrow at Sayjin. The Sayjin caught the arrow, smirking at the Elf, only for the arrow to explode with magic directly in his face. The Sayjin was knocked into the crater that had been made by Colin when he knocked out. The Sayjin tried to get up, only to be grabbed around the tail by vines.
Side note: The tail of a Sayjin is extremely sensitive. This is used to great effectiveness during sex with someone the Sayjin trusts enough to let them touch the tail. In combat, Sayjin's try to always face the danger because if their tail is grabbed, all their chi and ki energy is blocked, effectively making them just as vulnerable, if not more so, than any other buko.
As an Elf, Richard knew command plants, an attack that let him summon plant-life from the ground and control it. It normally wouldn't be possible to use inside the gym, but the vines were able to creep up through the cracks the Sayjin had made when it attacked Colin.
Seeing this shocked Kyle. He hadn't thought Marcy would have been able to think about a strategy like that. It made him wonder if she had formed this plan the moment Colin had been knocked out, or if her strategy had been to make sure Colin got knocked out the way he had. He liked to think that it hadn't been intentional, that Marcy was just capitalizing on an opportunity, but he wasn't sure anymore.
The Sayjin was breathing heavy now that his tail was caught. He could barely move. Richard approached the crater, firing a magic bolt at the Sayjin, knocking it out with a direct hit.
The gym leader's jaw was dropped as Marcy recalled Richard, walked over, and held out her hand for her reward. Not knowing what, if anything, he could possibly say to that, the gym leader handed her the chi badge, $3000, and the chi blast TM. Marcy turned around and left the gym without another word. The others followed her back to the center, where Marcy allowed her buko to rest, eat, and get healed by the NurseJoey. After that, Marcy left the center, and went directly to the other gym.
Gym Leader Sabrina was less condescending, smiling when she saw Marcy. "Good to see you've returned. You've trained more I hope?" She asked. Marcy glared, as though just as upset by this as what the fighting gym leader had said to her. Marcy nodded, and sent out Richard. Sabrina sent out the first of her four buko, a tall, pink, slightly chubby buko, a Slowsis.
Slowsis, psychic powerhouse buko. With their mind now able to process fast enough to keep up with the information going through it, they no longer appear to be dim or unintelligent like their previous evolution, the Slowbro. They tend to become easily offended by people implying that they are or ever were stupid, and will lash out at someone who does with a variety of psychic attacks.
Richard fired an arrow, which was blocked by the Slowsis with barrier. The Slowsis returned fired with psy-wave. Similarly, Richard used Shield to block the psy-wave. The two buko were still for a moment, and then all hell broke loose.
Richard fired a hail of arrows, come laced with magic, others not. The Slowsis blocked some with barrier, but the magic arrows passes through and hit him until he started using psychic to send them back at Richard along with psy-waves, who blocked with Shield and continued firing. Using command plants, Richard forced vines to grow around some of the arrows before firing. The vines detached when the arrows were blocked by barrier, and began creeping around the Slowsis' legs.
By the time the Slowsis noticed, it was too late to do anything about it. The vines wrapped around his legs and began creeping up around his body. The barrier dropped as he turned his focus to removing the vines, and was immediately hit by a barrage of arrows.
"Where did the vines come from?" Conner questioned. "Richard must have had small strips wrapped around some of the arrows beforehand," Luther said, "Vines can just grow from the smallest clipping, so Richard could just force them to start growing whenever he wants. It's kind of brilliant." Kyle nodded in agreements, unsure if he was impressed, worried, or both.
The Slowsis yelped in pain as he quickly became a pin-cussion. Between the magic arrows and the arrows imbued with plant energy, the Slowsis was taking massive damage until he let out a wave of psychic energy, shattering several dozen arrows in midair and putting up a barrier again. The Slowsis panted, and began using psychic to remove the arrows from his body.
Richard drew another arrow, holding it as he poured plant energy and magic into it. Slowsis used draining rain to try and sap Richard's energy away. Richard used shield to guard himself while he charged the arrow, holding it and waiting. The Slowsis used disable, temporarily taking away the shield ability. Richard fired immediately. The Slowsis didn't have time to react to the arrow, as he didn't see it through the draining rain until it was directly in front of him.
The Slowsis was blasted back by the arrow, knocked out from the charged attack. Richard only ended up losing a little energy to the draining rain, barely enough to even be noticed. Sabrina recalled the Slowsis.
"Not bad, not bad at all." Sabrina said with a smile, "But let's see what other tricks you've got up your sleeve." She said, sending out her next buko, a short yellow and brown buko with a small tail and tiny antennae, an A-bro.
A-bro, the psychic snoozer buko. One of the more common psychic type buko, this buko needs to sleep for eighteen hours a day to full it's psychic power.
Marcy left Richard out to face the A-bro. The A-bro fired confusion, which Richard dodged, firing an arrow. The A-bro teleported, firing another confusion. The cycle repeated for several minutes, each buko avoiding and taking a pop shot until, quite by chance, Richard got an arrow to hit the A-bro. The magic of it prevented him from teleporting again, and Richard rained down arrows until the buko fainted. Sabrina recalled him, and Marcy recalled Richard, sending out James to face the buko Sabrina sent out, looking mostly like a larger A-bro with longer antennae.
Kada-bro, the telepath buko. No longer bound by their previous form's intense need for sleep, these buko are much more practical for competitive battle. They do however harbor an odd obsession with using their psychic power to bend any and all spoons they come across. Said compulsion is so strong that some tamers use spoons as bait to catch feral Kada-bro in the wild.
James immediately opened fire with magic bullets. The Kada-bro returned fire with confusion. The two sets of attacks passed through each other, each getting hit. The only difference was that that Kada-bro's confusion attack was stronger and confused James when it hit.
James began staggering, firing at random. The Kada-bro used psychic lifting James up and sending him spiraling into the ground to knock him out. Marcy swore, recalling James and sending out Colin. Colin growled, as though already knowing how annoyed Marcy was.
"Colin going out wasn't a part of the plan." Kyle guessed. Colin's tail flame heated up, getting bigger and bigger before he let out a wave of fire at the Kada-bro. The Kada-bro held the fire back with psychic, but wasn't expecting Colin to jump through the flames. He landed on top of the psychic type, striking him with metal claw and firing flame thrower down.
The Kada-bro fainted, and both buko were recalled. Sabrina sent out her last buko, a sex battler. The buko was a bunny form with dirty white fur, a Snuggle Bunny.
Snuggle Bunny, the sex battle pokegirl. The exact method for triggering this buko's evolution is unknown. All that is known is that they evolve from Bunny Boys. This buko is considering the single greatest buko for sex battling in the world, save for any legendarys. This is do to the buko's ability to immediately understand every single kink and desire of anyone just by making psychical contact, as well as the breed as a whole having no taboos, being okay with literally any possible fetish.
Marcy sent out Gabriel. When the Snuggle Bunny approached, the Slime Prince went liquid, wrapping around the bunny. The Snuggle Bunny moaned as his ass was probed by Gabriel's body, his slime squeezing hard around the Snuggle Bunny's body.
"She's winning? How is she winning against a Snuggle Bunny?" Conner questioned. "Gabriel is a Slime Prince..he doesn't have any fetishes to exploit. To them sex is just a manner of feeding." Luther said, realizing why the Snuggle Bunny was being so easily taken down. Without their ability to exploit the opponent's fetish, a Snuggle Bunny was just as easy to defeat in a sex battle as any other bunny form, and only lasted a few minutes.
Marcy recalled Gabriel after he absorbed the Snuggle Bunny's cum, the Snuggle Bunny getting recalled as well as Sabrina went over to give her the rewards, the soul badge, the psychic TM, and $3000. "You're an impressive battler Marcy," Sabrina said with a smile, "I can only imagine how you'd be in bed~" She said with a wink before turning and returning to her seat, "The gym doesn't open until nine in the morning. If someone where to show up at eight..we'd have an hour to ourselves."
Marcy shrugged off the gym leader's flirting, as though not even hearing them and leaving the gym, returning to center. The group followed her back. Kyle was worried about his sister. Marcy turning down advances from a gym leader? That wasn't how reality was supposed to flow.
Marcy healed her buko, tamed them so they wouldn't go feral, and went to sleep. "It's almost depressing." Luther said. Kyle nodded, "Hopefully she'll be back to normal tomorrow." Kyle said, looking over and seeing Conner looking down the hall at Marcy's room like he'd seen a ghost. "What's wrong?"
"The collar.." He muttered, mostly to himself, "She took it off..."
