Chapter 4: A Healing Mist

"I don't believe this," shouted BowlMan, "How could I have lost! You had better win your matches, MistMan, so that I can have my revenge on YamatoMan. He thinks he is so tough…"

"Calm down," said MistMan, "I will win. I am fighting against a healing type navi. They are always easy to beat." MistMan then dragged his lamp with him towards the link.

"Come on, Jasmine," said Meddy, "We don't want to be disqualified." "Very well," replied Jasmine, "Let's go win us a NetBattle!"

Jasmine started running forward as Meddy was giving her directions. She made her way through the winding tunnels of the mine, until she came to two giant doors. Jasmine opened the doors wide. "Alright, Meddy. Let's show this guy what real netbattling is all about," screamed Jasmine.

"Jack in, Meddy! Power up!"

"Ah, you have arrived. It's about time," MistMan said to his opponent.

"I'm not going to let you win so easily," Meddy replied.

Battle Start

"Mist Tackle" MistMan charged forward towards Meddy, angling his shoulder so that it would knock her off her feet.

"Aaah," Meddy screamed as she was pushed backwards. "Alright MistMan, If that's how you want to fight then that's how we'll fight. Black Meddy Capsules!"

Two black capsules appeared in Meddy's hands. She threw one of the capsules and then the other. "Hmm? What is this? You're throwing medicine at me," asked MistMan. Then once the capsules exploded, MistMan was caught in the blast.

"What's this? Why can't I see?" "Simple," replied Meddy, "Why my black capsules hit my opponents; they are inflicted with a blind status effect. Each of my colored capsules has an effect. Now, face this, MistMan! Chemical Flash!"

Two giant capsules then materialized in the arena. "Get ready, Meddy," Jasmine said to her navi, "Barrier, Battlechip in! Download!" Jasmine slotted in a barrier Battlechip to her navi, which Meddy activated just in time before the giant capsules joined catching the still blind MistMan in its blast.

As the smoke from the blast cleared, Meddy looked to see if MistMan was still standing. She could not see the navi, all she could see was a simple little genie lamp.

"Where are you, MistMan," shouted Meddy. "I'm right here! Poison Mist!" A huge purple cloud appeared over the arena, as MistMan appeared out of his lamp, surprising Meddy.

"Ah," thought Meddy, "His lamp, is what protects him from blasts. I'll use this later."

Meddy then fell to her knees as the poison began to seep into her body, and weaken her. "Meddy! Are you alright," screamed her operator. "Ugh! This purple cloud… It's poisoning me…"

"Meddy, use your healing pulse!" "Alright Jasmine… Healing… Pulse!" Meddy summoned what strength the poison had not yet sapped out of her, and held out her hands to the poisonous cloud in front of her. Pink pulses began to appear out of her hands, transforming the purple clouds to pink. Meddy slowly began to rise up as the pink mist filled her body, rejuvenating it.

"Recov300, Battlechip in! Download!" Jasmine slotted in another chip to Meddy, causing Meddy to rise up to her full strength.

"I don't get it Lan," said Mayl, "How was Meddy able to change the poison mist to a healing one?"

"Well Mayl," Lan replied, "Meddy's healing pulse is a special kind of technique. Back when Nebula was taking over the net, she used that pulse to destroy not only dark barriers that were in our way, but also to cure ProtoMan of his dark chip sickness. So if Healing Pulse could do that, why couldn't it switch a poisonous mist into a healing one?"

"Ah," MistMan screamed, "Now that you have reversed my mist, I have lost control over it! It has also begun weakening me!" MistMan bent down towards the ground, and whispered, "I'm gonna have to risk it, It's my only chance… of victory."

MistMan rose back up and said, "Mist Punch!" MistMan disappeared once more, and reappeared behind Meddy. Before Meddy could realize what was going on, MistMan punched her in the back hurling her forward. He appeared again to her side and punched, which put her up against the wall.

"It's too much! I can't last much longer!" MistMan went back over towards his lamp, hoping to rejuvenate some of his strength.

Meddy rose up, as the mist healed her after the assault she experienced, and headed towards the lamp. "I don't think so MistMan," she said, "Healing Pulse!" Meddy pressed her hands onto the lamp in which MistMan resided, as the lamp began to glow bright pink.

MistMan rose up out of his lamp screaming. Meddy lifted her hands off the lamp, and hurled another Meddy Capsule at the navi. As the capsule exploded, a cloud of dust appeared, which Meddy cleared after Jasmine slotted in a Wind chip.

MistMan logging out.

"We did it Meddy," Jasmine screamed as Meddy logged out back into her PET. Lan and Mayl headed towards Jasmine to congratulate her.

"Nice job Jasmine," said Lan, "Meddy sure seems to have gotten stronger since Nebula attacked.

MistMan reappeared back in Oran Area 3, where BowlMan came up to him. "So much for healing navies being weak," taunted BowlMan.

"You better watch yourself BowlMan. Or when I get myself healed up, you're going to see what it's like to get the energy drained from your body!"
