Book Air Part 2
A Leaf in the Kalos Wind
Republic City Air Temple Island
Korra, Lucas, and Tenzin where eating breakfast until Olivia walked in with the morning paper. "Morning master Tenzin, Avatar Korra, and Lucas." Olivia said to them with Korra and Tenzin facing each other and Lucas in between them. "Morning Olivia." Tenzin said to Olivia. "Here's the morning paper master Tenzin." Olivia said placing the paper on the table with Korra on the cover. "Cool I made the front page." Korra said taking the paper. "Well what do you think after all the Avatar is back in Republic City after all this time." Lucas said taking a bite of his breakfast. "Ok well then I'll be off." Olivia said as Korra started reading Paper. "Come on Olivia stay for breakfast, I'm sure it will be fine right Tenzin." Lucas said to Olivia before asking Tenzin. "It's fine with me." Tenzin said. "Oh then thank you." Olivia said taking a seat across from Lucas. "Here some food for you." Lucas said passing her some food. "Thank you Lucas." Olivia said taking the food. "Hey guys listen to this. "And in the final round the Buzzard-Wasps won with a decisive knockout." What do you guys say we go to the arena tonight. Catch a few Pro-bending matches?" Korra said to them. "No thanks Korra I have work to do." Olivia said to Korra. "I'm game to see a match." Lucas said to Korra. "That sport is a mockery of the noble tradition of bending." Tenzin said drinking his tea. "Come on Tenzin I've dreamed about seeing a pro bending match since I was a kid, and now I'm just a ferry ride away from the arena." Korra said pointing out the window to a stadium. "Korra you're not here to watch that drivel. You're here to finish your Avatar training." Tenzin said to Korra. "Drivel now that's insulting to me Tenzin my people built our culture around our version of Pro Bending." Lucas said frowning at Tenzin. "I'm sorry, but Korra needs to remain on the island." Tenzin said. "Is that why you're keeping the White Lotus sentries around to watch my every move?" Korra asked Tenzin. "Yes in order to learn Airbending I believe you require a calm quiet environment, free from any distractions." Tenzin said to Korra. "All right you're the master." Korra said. "And what about me?" Lucas asked Tenzin. "You can come and go as you please, but if you go to the city you will have a guide with you to keep you out of trouble and to help you find your way back." Tenzin said to Lucas. "And who will be my guide." Lucas asked Tenzin. "I don't know who, so I will tell you tomorrow." Tenzin said. "Master Tenzin you know I volunteer to be his guide." Olivia said. "Yes I know, but I still have to see who else would be willing to be Lucas guide." Tenzin said. "Of course master Tenzin." Olivia said. Durn that conversation Korra turned to the arena and just started at it.
After some time Korra went to her room and changed into some Airbending clothes. "Hey Korra." Lucas said he and Tenzin were waiting for Korra outside. "Hey Lucas." Korra said as they started to walk. "So my mother informed me that you've never been able to Airbend before." Tenzin said making Korra stop. "Yeah, but I don't know why the other elements came so easily to me. But every single time I've tried Airbending nothing." Korra said to Tenzin. "That's perfectly all right. Just need to be patient. Often the element that's the most difficult for the avatar to master is the one most opposite to the avatar's personality. For Aang it was Earthbending." Tenzin said fixing Korra clothes. "Yeah well I'm about as opposite an Airbender as you can get." Korra said. "Korra it takes time to learn." Lucas said placing his hand on her shoulder. "Come on, let's begin your first lesson." Tenzin said as they started to walk again.
Soon they went up some stairs to find Tenzin's kid waiting at the top. "Korra's gonna Airbend! Korra's gonna Airbend!" Ikki said jumping up and down. "What's is that contraption?" Korra said looking at the boards behind the kids. "It looks old?" Lucas said. This is a time-honored tool that teaches the most fundamental aspect of airbending. Jinora would you like to explain this exercise?" Tenzin said to Korra and Lucas before turning to Jinora. "The goal is to weave your way through the gates and make it to the other side without touching them." Jinora said. "Seems easy enough." Korra said. "Yeah to easy? What the catch?" Lucas said rubbing his chin. "Jinora forgot to say you have to make it through while the gates are spinning." Ikki said as Tenzin. Send a burst of wind into the gates. "There it is." Lucas said pointing to the spinning gates. "The key is to be like the leaf. Flow with the movement of the gates." Tenzin said the leaf went through the gate. "Jinora will demonstrate." Tenzin said Jinora went through the gates. "Airbending is all about spiral movements. When you meet resistance you must be able to switch direction at a moment's notice." Tenzin said as Jinora finish going through the gates.
"Rillaboom come out and help me cheer Korra on." Lucas said letting Rillabom out of his Pokeball. "Rillaboom." Rillaboom said pulling out his drum. "Oh cool a big gorilla." Ikki said as she and Meelo Airbened on to Rillaboom back. "Rillaboom?" Rillaboom said watching the kids get on him. "What is this creature and where did it come from?" Tenzin asked Lucas staring at Rillaboom. "This is Rillaboom my first Pokemon. Rillaboom is the Drummer Pokemon. The one with the best drumming techniques becomes the boss of the troop. It has a gentle disposition and values harmony among its group. And it came from this." Lucas said showing tenzin Rillaboom's pokeball. "And what is this?" Tenzin said looking at the Pokeball. "This is a Pokeball it's how people back home carry Pokemon." Lucas said Putting Rillaboom's pokeball away. "And how many Pokeball do you have?" Tenzin asked Lucas. "I have six Pokeballs." Lucas said pointing to the sides of his pants. "And do all of them have "Pokemon" in them?" Tenzin asked Lucas. "Yes." Lucas said. "Cool more funny animals." Mello said jumping of Rillaboom and trying to grab on of Lucas Pokeballs. Only for his hand to phase through the Pokeball. "Hey why can't I get touch them I want more animals to play with." Meelo said as he kept trying to touch Lucas Pokeballs. "Sorry Meelo, but my Pokeballs only work for me and I let Rillaboom out to help cheer on Korra not for you to play with." Lucas said to Meelo. "He's right Meelo we're here to help Korra Airbending not playing with Lucas animals Jinora if you would." Tenzin said to Jinora as he picked Ikki off Rillaboom's back.
On the other side of the gates Jinora made a gust of wind restarting the gates. "Let's do this." Korra said facing the gates. "Rillaboom if you would be so kind." Lucas said to Rillaboom. "Rillaboom." Rillaboom said as he started to play his drum as Korra started to move. But she just got tossed around by the gates making Tenzin and Lucas grunt a bit. Lucas watch Korra get tossed around a bit more until being sent back to start. "Come on Korra relax." Lucas said helping Korra up. But Korra just got mad at the gates and charged right in again. And then the exact same thing happened again "Don't force your way through." Jinora yelled to Korra. "Dance Dance like the wind." Ikki Yelled at Korra. "Be the leaf." Meelo yelled doing a wave motion with his hands. But it didn't help because Korra tock to many hits and came out the gates spinning and falling onto the ground. "Maybe we should try something else?" Lucas said as Rillaboom picked Korra up. Tenzin just sigh as Lucas and Rillaboom walked away with Korra.
Later that night Lucas as laying next to Naga watching Korra practice airbending in the newspaper that they this morning. "Airbend." Korra said attempting to Airbend at a picture Chief Beifong. "What is wrong with me?" Korra said. "Korra I know you had an easy time learning Water, Earth, and Fire, but you can expect everything to be that easy." Lucas said. "It should be that easy for me I'm the Avatar! Airbender!" Korra said doing the motions again. "Korra relax you will Airbend, when you are ready." Lucas said. But Korra just got mad and throw a fire punch at the paper turning it into ash. "Did that help you feel better?" Lucas said getting up as Korra turned to them. "Ugh maybe I'm just not cut out to be an Airbender, huh Naga, Lucas," Korra said to them. "Korra I know you're struggling here, but you have to learn Airbending it's part of being the Avatar. You just have to work hard and be patient you'll get it." Lucas said placing his hand on her shoulder. "Ladies and Gentleman I'm coming to you live from Republic city's pro bending arena." They turned their heads to the sound of a radio. "I think I know what you need come on." Lucas said leading the way to a watch post with three White Lotus people in it. "Where tonight the best in the world continue their quest for a spot in the upcoming championship tournament. Grabs your snacks and grab your kids because this next match is going to be a doozy." The man on the radio said as Korra and Lucas jumped on top of the roof of the watch post. All five of them listen to the radio. After a while Lucas and Korra were getting into the game. The man doing the play by play said. "This Mako's got moxie. He advances fire two quick shots. Yomo is hammered back to zone three. Clock is winding down can Yomo hold on?" All five of them were started to get really excited. "He's teetering on the edge of the ring now. The Fire Ferrets line up to strike-." The man on the radio said but someone turned it off, both Lucas and Korra froze because they got really into the game. The guards turned to see Tenzin holding the plug to the radio. "Korra, Lucas come down here please." Tenzin said as they lowered heads off the roof surprising the guards. They soon jumped down off the roof.
"You shut it off at the best part." Korra said to Tenzin. "You have no respect for sports do you?" Lucas said to Tenzin. "I thought I made myself clear. I don't want you listening to this distracting nonsense. And Lucas form now on, you are to stay out of Korra way when she is training." Tenzin said. "But it's their radio and Lucas was trying to help. And Technically you said I couldn't watch a match you didn't say anything about listening to one." Korra said. "She's right." Lucas said. "You two." Tenzin said groaning a bit. "You know what I meant. Anyway, shouldn't you-. Shouldn't you two be in bed by now?" Tenzin said turning away making throwing a gust of wind at them.
The next morning Tenzin told Olivia to take Lucas away for the day so that Korra can focus on her training. Olivia took Lucas on a fairy to Republic City. After Lucas said goodbye to Korra Tenzin took her and his children to an overlook on the hill to meditate. For hours they just sate their in silence but, Korra got restless after a while. "I think I'm doing it wrong." Korra said breaking the silence. There's nothing to do. Let your mind and your spirit be free, for air is the element of freedom." Tenzin said making Korra laugh. "Is something funny?" Tenzin said to Korra. "Yeah you're telling me to embrace freedom, but you won't even let me listen to the radio or hang out with Lucas and forget about leaving this island." Korra said to Tenzin. "Please Korra Lucas is just trouble. Look at Meelo he's able to meditate peacefully." Tenizn said as they turned to Meelo. But he was asleep, not meditating. "Actually I think he's asleep." Korra said. "What?" Tenzin said getting a closer look at Meelo. "Well at least he has the relaxing part down." Tenzin said backing away from Meelo. "Whatever none of this Airbending stuff makes any sense to me." I know you're frustrated but these teachings will sink in over time. Then one day they'll just click." Tenzin said as Korra inhaled again. "Yeah it's not sinking in yet. I'm gonna go get a glass of Lychee Juice and try to find Lucas." Korra said as she got up and left. "Korra meditation's not over yet." Tenzin said as Korra walked away. "Daddy can I have some lychee juice too?" Ikki said with a smile. "No." Tenzin said to Ikki making Ikki frown as Jinora eyes tired annoyed and Meelo just stayed asleep.
Republic City Park
While Korra was meditating with Tenzin at the Air Temple Island. Olivia and Lucas made their way to the park. "Olivia where are we going?" Lucas asked as he followed Olivia. "Come on we are almost there." Oliva said as they reach some stairs. "It up their." Olivia pointed up. Lucas walked up first followed by Olivia. When they got to the top Lucas saw a few bands playing their instruments surrounded by small crowds of people. "Is this what you wanted to show me?" Lucas asked Olivia as she came up. "Yes this is my favorite place in the city." Oliva said taking the lead again. "This place is where people come and play their music and dance. Every now and then I come here to have fun." Olivia said spinning around. "I'm sure it's nice now let's see what's playing." Lucas said walking to Olivia. "Come on you have to see this!" A man said as he bumped into Lucas knocking into Oliva making them both fall to the ground. "Ah sorry Oliva." Lucas said looking at Olivia. "No Problem Lucas." Oliva said as they stared at each other. "Ah I should get up." Lucas said as he got up. "Yeah Yeah." Oliva said still lying there. "Here let me help you up." Lucas said giving her his hand. "Thanks." Olivia said taking his hand. "You can't be telling the truth." Another person said as they started to walk past them. "Dude I'm telling you this girl has some kind of beast dancing with her making a show with any band that's she likes." A man said walking away. "A girl with some kind of beast what's that about?" Lucas said. "Maybe someone with an animal is here we should go and see." Olivia said to Lucas. "Yeah ok and sorry about falling on you." Lucas said rubbing the back of his head. "It's no problem, it was an accident." Olivia said walking ahead of him.
After a few minutes the found a big crowd. "I think this is the place?" Olivia said as they went through the crowd. When they got. To the front Lucas was shocked to see Lily dancing with a big bird with cloud like wings, three blue string like tail, a long blue neck, a white beck, two blue string on it's head, with a stone wrapped in a bow on the beginning of its neck and two blue claw feet. "Lily is that you?" Lucas said making Lily stop. "Thanks guys you can stop" Lily said to band before walking to Lucas and Olivia. "Your Lucas right?" Lily asked Lucas. "Yes I'm Lucas." Lucas said to Lily. "Lucas you know her?" Oliva asked Lucas. "She a trainer like me." Lucas said to Olivia. "And who is this Lucas?" Lily asked. "This is Olivia." Lucas said pointing to Olivia. "Wow been here for one day and you already have a girlfriend." Lily said as Lucas ebow her in the stomach. "No no no no no. I got into some trouble yesterday and he wanted me out for the day." Lucas said to Lily as she laughs off the pain. "Whos this?" Olivia asked as the bird head started to rub it's head against Lily. "This is Altaria my teams leading lady. Altaria is the Humming Pokemon it flies gracefully through the sky. Its melodic humming makes you feel like you're in a dream." Lily said petting the bird. "Altaria." Altaria said enjoying being petted. "Say Lily you know the unwritten rule about being a Pokemon Trainer?" Lucas said cracking a smile. "That when two trainers eyes meet they must battle?" Lily said as she and Alteria cracked a smile, but Olivia was getting confused. "That's the one." Lucas said. "Before we start answer me one question why do you want to battle?" Lily asked Lucas. "You know the reason." Lucas said. "Yes I do it's how we get to know each other." Lily said. "What are you two talking about?" Olivia said making them turn to see that they were confusing the crowd. "It will be easy to show you but before we could everyone back up a lot." Lucas said. Soon everyone back up a lot given them a wide range with Olivia right behind Lucas.
"Altaria I choose you." Lily said as Altaria moved to in front of Lily. "Ok so your using Altaria then I will use my music Pokemon Toxricity come out and let's rock and roll." Lucas said as toasted out a pokeball. The Pokeball opened up to reveal a human size purple and yellow lizard standing up with a yellow electric mohawk, with purple pods on its chest and spikes around its waste and on its wrist. "Lucas what is that?" Oliva said as the crowd gasped at what they just saw. "This is Toxricity. Toxricity is the Punk Pokemon when this Pokemon sounds as if it's strumming a guitar it's actually clawing at the protrusions on its chest to generate electricity." Lucas said. "Toxricity." Toxricity roared stringing his chest creating a guitar sound. "I know Toxricity it's exciting isn't it!" Lucas said to Toxricity who just played more air guitar in response. "Lucas how do you know that's what it said?" Olivia asked Lucas. "First it is a he and after some time you start to understand what your Pokemon is saying." Lucas said to Olivia before turning to Lily. "Well lady's first!" Lucas said as Toxricity got into a fighting stance.
"Ok you asked for it Altaria use Sing on Toxricity." Lily said to Altaria. "Altaria!" Altaria said as she started to spine around as she sings. Soon music notes started to fly towards Toxicity. "Toxricity use Boomburst on that Sing." Lucas said to Toxricity. "Toxricity." Toxricity said before sending a sonic boom from his mouth making everyone cover their ears. The Boomburst cut throw the Sing hitting Altaria. "Altaria." Altaria said as she was sent flying into a tree. "Altaria start flying around that tree." Lily said as Altaria started to fly around the tree and was leaving cotton spots on the tree. She then land on the top and it looks like a snow covered tree. "Altaria." Altaira said shaking off the Boomburst. "I'm impressed not many Pokemon can withstand Toxricity's Boomburst." Lucas said as he and Toxricity looked at each other. "That Boomburst was stronger then normal tell me why?" Lily asked Lucas. "My Toxricity ability is Punk Rock meaning that his sound movies are stronger and sounds moves do less on him." Lucas said. "Toxricity." Toxricity said cracking a smile. "Lucas what's an ability?" Olivia yelled from behind Lucas as the crowd started to hear again. "An ability is like a trick that a Pokemon has. Pokemon have two or three abilities and the ability is with them for their lives only a few Pokemon change their abilities as they grow older.
"Well shall we get back to battling Altaria use Dragon Pulse." Lilly said. "Altaria." Altaria said as she jumped off the tree and shot a beam of purple energy of her mouth, after sometime the end of the beam turned into a dragon head heading for Toxricity. "Wow." Olivia said as she and the crowd jaw dropped at the site of the Dragon Pulse. "Toxricity use Boomburst on the ground." Lucas said to Toxricity. "Toxricity." Toxricity said firing a Boomburst on the ground sending him flying. "What that thing can fly?!" A man in the crowd said as Toxricity landed on to some trees surprising everyone. "Not bad Lucas." Lily said. "Thanks now Toxricity use Overdrive." Lucas said to Toxricity. "Toxricity." Toxricity said as he started to air guitar again, but this time a bolt of electricity came out of Toxricity mohawk. "Altaria get down to the ground and use Steel Wing." Lily said to Altaria. "Altaria!" Altaria said flying away from the electricity. "Don't let Altaria get to the ground." Lucas said making Toxricity play harder. The crowd watched a Altaria flow away from the electricity in awh. "Is this the power of Pokemon?" Olivia said quietly as Altaria landed on the ground. Then Altaria's wings turns silver then she planted her wings into the ground before the electricity hit. The crowd watched as the electricity hit Altaria with her eyes closed some gasph, some cheered, some were at awh at what they were seeing. After the electricity died down the crowd went quiet not knowing what just happened. "Not bad Lily and Altaria." Lucas said as Altaria quickly opened her eyes. "ALTARIA." Altaira roared socking the crowd. "Thanks Lucas." Lily said. "Not many trainers know that they can use a Steel Type move like that." Lucas said to Lily. "What do you mean Lucas?" Olivia asked Lucas. "Some Steel movies can act like a metal rod and when that Pokemon plants that move into the ground Electric Type moves have no effect." Lucas said.
"Altaria use Moonblast." Lily said as Altaria flow up. Then a moon appeared behind Altaria as energy started together in front of Altaria. "Toxricity use Sludge Bomb and aim for that Moonblast." Lucas said to Toxricity. "Toxricity." Toxricity said gathering sludge in his mouth. Soon both moves were fired making an explosion in the middle making a smoke cloud. "This is crazy?" A man in the crowd said as they watch as the smoke covered the field. "Toxricity use Thunderbolt." Lucas said as a bolt of electricity came out of the smoke and hit Altaria knocking her out of the sky. "Altaria use Steel Wing." Lily said as Altaira regain control and did a few spins and flow close to the ground. Altaria then hit Toxricity, but Toxricity wrapped his arms around Altaira neck after taking the hit. "Toxricity use Boomburst." Lucas said as Toxricity fired a Boomburst in Altaria face. "Altaira?" Lily said worried about Altaria. Soon Altaria fell to the floor obviously tired after taking a Boomburst to the face. "That's enough Lily good battle." Lucas said walking to Lily. "Yeah your a good trainer." Lily said as she started to walk over to Lucas. "Toxricity." Toxricity said raising his arm to Altaria. "Altaria." Altaria said raing one of her wings into Toxricity hand. "I hope next time we can have a full Pokemon battle." Lucas said. "Sure, but first we will have to find a good place for that battle." Lity said as all four of them shook each others hands.
"Man that was crazy, but amazing." A women in the crowd said. "I like the birds moves it they were pretty." A little girl in the crowd said. "But man that lizard is one loud beast." A drummer in the crowd said. "Yeah, but you gotta amite it sure knows how to rock." A man with a guitar in the crowd said. Lucas then turned to the crowd. "Sorry if are battle cause any problems, but I hope you all enjoyed the show." Lucas said as all four of them waved their hands at the crowd. "Lucas that was interesting do Pokemon trainers fight like that a lot?" Olivia said walking to them. "Yeah, but Lily and me were holding back a bit." Lucas said rubbing his head. "So you knew I was holding back." Lily said placing her hands on her waist. "Of course after all your Altaria has a Mega stone that stone symbolizes hidden power so not using it is the same as holding back." Lucas said to Lily. "Were you two really holding back?" The man with a guitar said walking towards them. "Yeah." Lucas said. "Really why were you two really holding back?" The man with a Guitar asked. "This is a part of the park is nice it be terrible if we ruined it." Lily said to the man. "Then thank for both, for not destroying this part of the park and that battle." The man said raising his hand. "No Problem." Lilly said shaking his hand. "You know after seeing that I want to rock out with your lizard so would you three like to stay and party for a bit." The man with the guitar said them. "What do you think Toxricity?" Lucas said to Toxricity. "Toxricity." Toxricity said as he started to air guitar. "He's ok with that so let's have some fun." Lucas said as the band started to get together on the stag. After a few minutes the band was ready. "Hello everyone after that battle we saw it's time we have some fun with these creatures." The man with the guitar said as he, Toxricity, and the band started to play. After a few seconds, Lily and Altaria started to dance again. "Shell we dance?" Lucas said given his hand to Oliva. "Yes." Olivia said taking his hand. For a few hours all of them danced and had some fun, they head back to Air Temple Island. Lucas then told Lily about Air Temple Island and how would be the best place to stay while they were here. Mostly because it was either the temple or the streets. Olivia was worried about what Tenzin would say about another trainer living with them.
Republic City Air Temple Island
After sometime Lucas and Olivia returned to Air Temple Island with Lily, who was having a blast. "Wow so this is where you two live?" Lily said looking at Air Temple Island. "Yeah it's not anything fancy, but it's a nice place." Lucas said as the got off the fairy. Soon as Lucas got on the deck Naga appeared and tackled Lucas to the ground, she then started to lick him. "Naga please get off me." Lucas said trying to get Naga off him. "Hey Lucas, Olivia welcome back." Korra said as she came to them. "Hey Korra can you help me?" Lucas said pointing to Naga. "Oh sure. Naga please get off Lucas." Korra said to Naga in a calm tone. Naga then got off Lucas and then Lily ran down off the fairy. "Cool what is this cute creature?" Lily said as she started to pet Naga. "Lucas who this?" Korra asked Lucas as Naga started to lick Lily making Lily laugh. "This is Lily she's a trainer like me." Lucas said. "Oh cool another Pokemon Trainer." Korra said turning to Lily who was giving Naga belly rub. "Aha who a good girl who's a good girl." Lily said rubbing her belly. "Naga like you." Korra said to Lily. "And who are you?" Lily said looking Korra. "My name is Korra and you know my friend Naga." Korra said pointing at Naga. "Nice to meet you Korra my name is Lily." Lily said getting up. "Come on Lily let me show you around." Oliva said as they started to walk.
During the walk Olivia showed Lily around and told Korra about the battle Lucas and Lily had. "You two really did that?" Korra asked Lily and Lucas. "Yes it was fun." Lily said. "I just wish that we could have a full big battle instead of that small battle we had." Lucas said placing his hands behind his head. "And what is this Mega Evolution you two were talking about?" Korra asked them. "Mega Evolution is where the trainers Key Stone and his or her Pokemon with Mega Stone turn their bond into a new form and new power." Lily said to Korra. "Well I saw Altaria Mega Stone, but where's your Key stone?" Olivia asked Lily. "Its right here?" Lily said pulling out a hair clip from her pocket. "Why is it in your pocket and not in your hair?" Lucas asked Lily looking at the hair pin. "I don't like wearing it when I'm in my normal clothes." Lily said. "What do you mean "normal cloths" Lily?" Korra asked Lily. "You see back home I perform more than battle so I have cloths for when I perform." Lily said placing the key stone in her pocket. "So you do shows?" Olivia asked Lily. "Yep I always love to perform but lately I gotten into a bit of a slump so I haven't done a performance in a while." Lily said. "I'm sure you'll get over it soon." Olivia said to Lily.
After some time the four of them made their way to the mess hall to have dinner. During that time Korra told Lily about the Avatar and what happened to her and Lucas. "So Korra what did you do for training today?" Lucas asked Korra as they started to eat. "We just meditate all day." Korea said getting a little upset. "Korra what happened?" Lucas said before taking a bite of his food. "Nothing happened." Korra said turning away from them. "If nothing happens then why are you mad?" Lily asked Korra. Korra just stayed silent. "Oh I get it your still upset that you can't Airbend is that it?" Lucas said making Korra turned to Lucas. "How do you know?" Korra asked Lucas. "Korra you have been upset about Airbending ever since we got here." Lucas said to Korra. "Your right nothing's working I don't know what's wrong?" Korra said looking down at her food. "There's got to be a reason it's harder for you?" Lily said. "Olivia can you tell me anything about the Air element?" Lucas asked Olivia. "From what master Tenzin said to me. Air is the element of freedom." Olivia said. "Then that mite be the problem?" Lucas said. "And What might that be?" Korra said to Lucas. "Korra you told me on the boat that you have been locked up in a compound since they found out you where the Avatar." Lucas said. "Yeah?" Korra said. "Then how can you use the element of freedom when you don't know what it means to be free." Lucas said to Korra. "He's right maybe we should go have fun in town tonight." Lily said making her Korra and Lucas smile. "Absolutely not the Avatar will stay here and train and that is final." They all turned their heads to see Tenzin standing behind them. "Aha Hey Tenzin." Lucas said said waving his hand. "Olivia who is this?" Tenzin said pointing to Lily. "This is Lily she a friend we made in the city." Olivia said. "And she a Pokemon Trainer like me." Lucas said. "Great another one." Tenzin said. "Come on Tenzin they not that bad." Korra said. "I don't care Korra go to your room and you two stay away from Korra." Tenzin said making Korra leave the table. "I guess I should show you where you will be sleeping." Olivia said walking Lily to a room. On the way out Lily and Lucas exchange a look telling each other what they need to do.
Later that night Lucas and Lily sneak into roof next to Korra's room getting past the guard. "Korra open up." Lucas said knocking her window. Korra then opened the window letting Lucas and Lily in. "So what should we do first?" Lily said to them. "I heard there's a Pro-bending match tonight we could go see it." Lucas said. "We don't have any money." Korra said. "Don't worry I have a plan." Lucas said looking out the window. "Ok but first we need to get out of here." Lily said to them. "We first have to wait for an opening then we run to the sea then I will Waterbend us into the water so we don't make a sound." Korra said as they nodded. They turned to watch the guards. "Now." Lucas said as they jumped down and started running to the sea. After a minute the made their way to the sea. Korra Waterbend them into the water to avoid making a sound. As soon as they were under the water Lily and Lucas pick one of their pokeballs. Out of Lily's pokeball came a kelp like creature with a long purple body and black fins. And out of Lucas pokeball came a blue octopus with yellow dots and a yellow mask covering it face. Lucas and Lily soon grabbed on to their Pokemon following Korra under water to the arena.
Republic City Arena
After sometime they came up out of the water under the arena where Lucas pointed up to Korra. Korra then say an opened window then waterbend all five of them into the arena. "Thanks Korra." Lily said as they shock off the water. "So how are these two?" Korra said looking at the kelp and octopus Pokemon. "This is Dragalge. Dragalge is the Mock Kelp Pokemon this vicious Pokemon sprays a poisonous liquid on opponents that come near. For whatever reason it gets along really well with Dhelmise." Lily said petting Dragalge. "And this is Grapploct. Grapploct is the Jujitsu Pokemon. Searching for an opponent to test its skills against, it emerges onto land. Once the battle it returns to the sea." Lucas said as Grapploct started to inspect Korra. "Ah what's Garpploct doing?" Korra said getting a little nervous. "Grapploct return." Lucas said returning Grapploct to its Pokeball. "What am I going to do with Grapploct?" Lucas said putting Grapploct Pokeball away. "What was that about?" Lily asked Lucas. "Grapploct has been a battle maniac ever since he was little facing anyone that he thought would be a challenge." Lucas slapping his face. "So he wanted to battle me?" Korra asked Lucas. "Yes he's a pain sometimes." Lucas said. "If that's true then why do have it on your team?" Lily asked Lucas. "I met him when he was little when he challenged me to a battle. I won, but he didn't like it. On my journey in my home land Grapploct keep showing up. Until one day I had enough and caught him in his Pokeball. After that Grapploct was mad to be on my team, but he soon got over it. But he still start a fight every now and again." Lucas said. "Then why do keep him around?" Lily asked. "Two reasons. One he's a good swimmer. And two he's a strong fighter, it is hard to defeat him." Lucas said. "Ok now Dragalge return." Lily said returning Dragalge. "So Lucas what's the plan?" Korra asked Lucas. "This is not my first time sneaking into an arena. The trick is to keep a low profile and stay out of any high class arias we should be fine." Lucas said as they started to walk.
During their walk Korra found the gym. "Hey guys look at this." Korra said walking into the Gym. "Korra get out of their." Lucas said watching her. "Oh come on Lucas relax." Korra said as Lucas and Lily walked into the gym. "Korra we shouldn't be here!" Lucas whispered to Korra. "Hey, what are you doing in my gym?" they turn to see an old man. "Un we were just looking for a bathroom, and we got lost." Korra said to the old man. "Ah the old we had to pee" Excuse. You know I'm sick and tired of you kids sneaking in without paying. I'm taking you to security." the old man said. "No wait." Korra said to the old man. "There you guys are." They all turned their heads to a man with black hair going out the back, green eyes, wearing a red and white sports uniform, with green belt and a green spot on his helmet. "I've been looking everywhere for you. It's all right Toza there with me." The man in red said to the old man. "Hep we're with him." Korra said to the old man. "Yeah we just got separated looking for the bathroom." Lily said said to the old man. "So everything is good right?" Lucas said to the old man. "I don't care. Just go I got work to do." Toza said getting back to work. "Right this way guys." The man in red said. "Thank buddy." Lucas said to the man in red. "Seriously thanks." Korra whispered to the man in red as they started to walk.
After a bit the man in red lead them to room. "What do you think? Best seats in the house huh?" The man in red asked them. They looked out to see the stage was just across from them. "Unbelievable this place is even more amazing than I imagined." Korra said. "This place reminds me of home." Lucas said. "Name's Bolin, by the way." The man in red said. "My name is Lily, this is Lucas, and this is Korra." Lily said to Bolin as Korra looked around some more. "Psst Bolin." Lucas and Bolin turned their heads to see two men wear the same thing as Bolin one with hair going up and the other with longer hair. Bolin then walk to the guy with the hair going up. "Yeah." Bolin said walk to the man. "I told you, you have to stop bringing your crazy fans in here before the matches get them out of here." the man said. "Aw come on Mako. all right look I kind of promised them that they could stay. But man I got a good feeling. There's something special about them. I know it." Bolin said to Mako. "Come here I want you guys to meet my brother Mako." Bolin said pushing them in front of him. "Mako? Wow I heard you play on the radio." Korra said raising her hand for a handshake. "Come on Bolin we're up." Mako said walking past them. "Or we could meet him later." Korra said looking at her hand. "Yeah sorry about that. My brother just gets real focused before a match." Bolin said. "Great another Bebe." Lucas said facepalming himself. "Who's Bebe?" Korra asked Lucas. "He's a man I know back home. Who takes everything seriously." Lucas said to Korra. "Okay I gotta go. Wish me luck not that i'll need it." Bolin said as he put on his helmet. "Don't get cocky Bolin." Lucas said. "Good luck knock them out!" Korra said. "Break a leg." Lily said as Bolin walked onto a platform. Korra look at Lily and said. "Why would you say "Break a leg"?"
"If you wish them luck then they will get bad luck, but if you wish they bad luck, then they get good luck."
"Oh no, did I give them bad luck?"
"No, they will be fine, so don't worry." Korra and Lily then turned their attention back to the stage.
Then the lights were turned off then a spot light appeared on the stage. Soon a man with a microphone came out of the floor. "Introducing the Fire Ferrets." The man said as a spot light appeared on top of Bolin's team. "Ahh I love you Bolin!" A women in the crowd screamed. "The rookie ferrets came from out of nowhere and have made it further than anyone expected this season. But tonight they face their toughest test yet, folks." The Announcer said as Korra, Lucas and Lily moved to the railing. Soon both teams got into position ready to go. Then a bell rang and they started to fight. "And they're off. The two teams waste no time trying to blast each other out of zone one. Hasook is the first to feel the heat of the Tiger-Dillos." The Announcer said as Both teams sent water, fire, and earth dics at each other. "He tries to return the favor, they're too fast for him." The Announcer said as Hasook attacks mis. "While Mako showcases his trademark "cool under fire" style." The Announcer said as Mako dodge all three attacks and was keeping his cool. But both Hasook and Bolin were hit and knocked back. "Oh the Tiger-Dillos score with a walloping one-two combo. Can their teammate hold on to their zone one territory?" The Announcer said as Korra got Worry. "COME ON GUYS FOCUS." Lucas yelled. Both girls tuned to Lucas. "What?" Lucas said as Mako got knocked back. "Guess not. Mako is over the line." The Announcer said said as a buzzer went off. "The Tiger-Dillos get the green light and advance into ferret territory." The Announcer said said as the Tiger-Dillos move forward. "Come on Ferrets!" Korra said. "You can do it." Lily said as they tried to hold the line. "Looks like Hasook's in trouble. He's in zone three teetering over the drink." The Announcer said as Hasook was hit back to the edge. "Aah!" Hasook said as he got knocked over the edge. "And Hasook takes a dip. He'll be back for round two."The Announcer said as Hasook hit the water. "Assuming the fabulous bending brother can hold their ground until the next round." The Announcer said as Bolin and Mako got pushed back to the edge. "Round one goes to the Golden Temple Tiger-Dillos." The Man with the microphone said as buzzer and bell went off.
"Come on Hasook get your act together." Mako said to Hasook as they got ready for round two. The bell rings and they started to fight again. But the Fire Ferrets were pushed back to zone two quickly. "The Fire Ferrets are knocked into zone two, and the Tiger-Dillos advance." The Announcer said as the Tiger-dillos moved forward. But the Fire Ferrets were able to push them back and win the round. "The Fire Ferrets cinch the round in the closing seconds." The Announcer said as the buzzer and bell rings. "It's one apiece still anyone's match as we got into the third and final round." The Announcer said as the final round got started. Hasook stumbles, and now he tumbles right into his teammates." The Announcer said as Hasook fell on top of Bolin. "He and Bolin better untangle quick if they don't want to-." The Announcer said as Bolin and Hasook got hit by an earth disk. "Oh too late!" The Announcer said as they hit the water. "Oh no." Korra said holding the side of head. "This is not good." Lily said getting just as nervous as Korra. "COME ON MAKO AVENGE YOUR TEAMMATES." Lucas yelled to Mako. the girls once again turned to Lucas. "What!?" Lucas said.
"It's all up tome Mako now. He's bobbing and weaving. he's weaving and bobbing. But he's not hitting back. If Mako's knocked out the Ferrets Fabulous season is over." The Announcer said as Mako was forced to the edge. Korra started to pull her hair and Lily covered her mouth. "COME ON MAKO HOLD YOUR GROUND." Lucas yelled. The girls then again turned to Lucas. "Seriously what is it!?" Lucas asked the girls. "Dude what's wrong with you?" Korra asked Lucas. "I just get really into games." Lucas said raising his shoulders. "He dancing on the edge of the ring, surviving the three-on-one barrage." The Announcer said as Mako dodge every attack. "It seems his plan is to let the Tiger-Dillos punch themselves out and his plan is working." The Announcer said as the Tiger-Dillos got tired and were easy pray for Mako. "THAT'S IT MAKO." Lucas yelled as Mako knocked one overboard. "They got nothing left in the tank, and Mako is on the offensive. It's two-on-one." The Announcer said as Mako got another one. "Scratch that, it's one-on-one. And it's an earth and fire slugfest." The Announcer said as Mako and the earthbender traded blows making a cloud of dust. "There's so much smoke and duct from the fire fight, I can't even see where the Fire Ferret is." The Announcer said as the earthbender was knocked to the edge. Then Mako jumped out of the dust cloud and launched a fire blast into the earthbender face knocking him over board. The crowd then started to cheer and applause. "It's a knockout. What a wingdinger of a hat trick, folks. Mako upset of the season, winning the match for the Fire Ferrets." The Announcer said as the crowd just kept cheering and applauding. Lily and Korra were smiling, while Lucas was cheering and applauding like the crowds.
"Whoo-hoo! Yes!" Bolin said as he came up to Korra, Lily and Lucas. "Nice work guys." Lily said patting Bolin on the back. "Thanks one more win and we're in the championship tournament." Bolin said snapping his fingers. "So what'd you think Korra, Lily? Bolin's got some moves, huh?" Bolin said to the girls. "What did I think? What did I think. That was amazing." Korra said pushing Bolin. "It was amazing." Lily said. "What do you think Lucas?" Bolin asked Lucas. "Not bad, but you need to improve your teamwork." Lucas said crossing his arms watching Mako and Hasook walked to them. "You did more harm than good out there you almost cost us the match." Mako said to Hasook." We won, didn't we?" Hasook said taking off his helmet. "Barely." Mako said. "Get off my case pal ugh." Hasook said as he left. "Useless." Mako said. "That's not nice." Lily said to Mako. "You guys were incredible out there. Especially you Mr. hat trick" Korra said to Mako. "Oh you're still here?" Mako said. "Man you really do act like Bebe." Lucas said to Mako. "Does that mean Bebe a jerk too?" Korra said looking at Mako. "Yep." Lucas said. "Anyway, I've been immersed in bending my entire life, but I never learned how to move like that. It's like there's a whole new style here." Korra said. "Korra it's just fancy footwork nothing else." Lucas said. "He's right I'm sure it's not that hard to learn just do." Lily said. "Hey Bolin do you think you could show me a few tricks?" Korra asked Bolin. "Absolutely." Bolin said to Korra. "Right now? Come on Bolin." Mako said. "Just ignore him. Yeah I could show you the basics. I'm just not sure how my earthbending would translate to your waterbending, but we'll figure it out." Nolin said to Korra. "Won't be a problem. I'm actually an Earhtbender." Korra said. "I'm sorry no no I didn't mean to assume. Cause I-you know I was just figuring- with your water tribe getup that you are a water tribe gal." Bolin said to Korra. "Nope you're right I'm a waterbender and a firebender." Korra said as a smirk started to grow on her face. "Mm. mm-hmm. I'm very confused right now." Bolin said. "Give it a few seconds." Lucas said. "You're the Avatar and I'm an idiot." Mako said lowering his head. "Both are true." Korra said. "Well I don't know about the idiot part?" Lily said rubbing her chin and Bolin said freaking out inside. "No way. The Avatar!" Bolin said to Mako pointing to Korra.
After Bolin and Mako got out of their uniforms they took Korra Lucas and Lily to the gym. "All right, let's see what you got." Bolin asked Korra. Korra then earthbend a few earth disk into a net. "That was great good power. But in a real match you'd be a sitting turtle-duck. Not so upright and flat-footed. Stay light on your toes right up until the moment when you need to dig in and strike." Bolin said giving Korra a few pointers. "Then pop pop." Bolin said sending a few disk flying into the net. "Okay let me try it again." Korra said as he did what Bolin told her. "Wow nice adjustment. You're a natural at this." Bolin said to Korra. "Not bad." Mako said to Korra. "What's it take to impress this guy?" Korra said. "What? I said not bad." Mako said. "That's probably the best will get out of him." Lucas said. "You know what it's getting late. I think I'm gonna turn in. you knids have fun. Nice to meet you Avatar Korra." Mako said as he left. "Yeah, been a real pleasure Mako." Korra said. "Nice to meet you Mako." Lily said to Mako. "Good night Mako." Lucas said. "See you upstairs bro." Bolin said. "Upstairs? You guys live here?" Korra asked Bolin. "Yep in the attic. It's nothing fancy, but we have some great views. So back to bending" Bolin said to Korra. "Why don't you throw that como one more time?" Bolin said as Korra sent more disk into the net.
After a few minutes of disk throwing Lucas interrupted them. "Ok Korra that's enough let's head back." Lucas said to Korra. "Oh come on Lucas let's stay and practice for a bit longer?" Korra said to Lucas. "Korra if your asleep when Tenzin is helping you airbender he will know we did something." Lucas said to Korra. "Come on Tenzin won't know anything." Korra said launching a few more disks into the net. "Lily can you help me?" Lucas asked Lily. "Chesnaught can you help us." Lily said letting Chesnaught out. "Chesnaught." Chesnaught said as he came out for his pokeball. "Wo what's that?" Bolin said backing up a bit. "This is Chesnaught and he's one of mine Pokemon. Chesnaught is the Spiny Armor Pokemon. It's tackle is forceful enough to flip a 50-ton tank. It shields its allies from danger with its own body." Lily said. "Cool bet you be fun to train against." Bolin said looking at Chesnaught. "Chesnaught can you help us get Korra out of here?" Lily asked Chesnaught. "Chesnaught." Chesnaught said as he started to walk to Korra. "Wait what is he doing?" Korra said backing up a bit. "Chesnaught." Chesnaught said as he picked up Korra. "Hey let me go." Korra said struggling to get out of Chesnaught's arms. "Sorry Korra we have to go." Lily said as she, Chesnaught and Korra started to leave. "See you later Bolin." Lucas said raising his arm for a handshake. "Yeah see you guys later and maybe you let us practice with your "Pokemon" did I say it right?" Bolin said shaking his hand. "Yes and maybe bye Bolin." Lucas said as he went after the girls and Chesnaught. The soon they made their way to the window they came in. "Why did you two have to take me away from that." Korra asked as Chesnaught put her down. "Korra we have to go back, but don't worry, I'm sure that now you had some freedom you'll be ready for airbending practice tomorrow." Lucas said as Lily returned Chesnaught. "You think so?" Korra said to Lucas as he and Lily let Grapploct and Dragalge out of their Pokeballs. "I'm sure you will do great tomorrow." Lucas said as they jumped out the window.
Republic City Air Temple Island
The next day Tenzin told Lily and Lucas to stay away from the gate while Korra trainer. So they were on top of a hill watching Korra get knocked around by the gates again. "I'm sure you will do great tomorrow me and my big mouth." Lucas said as Korra got tossed out of the gates again. "Is this how went last time?" Lily asked Lucas. "Pretty much." Lucas said as Korra got knocked out of the gates. "You know what I'm going to try the gates myself." Lily said as she went down to the gates. "Lily wait." Lucas said following her. Soon they made their way to the gates. "You two I told you two to stay away from Korra." Tenzin said to Lucas and Lily. "We just want to help." Lucas said to Tenzin. "I don't care, you two can't help tech airbending." Tenzin said. "What if I pass through the gate. If I get thru can we stay and help." Lily said to Tenzin. "Fine you get one chance if you pass you can stay and help if not then I want you two on the other side of the Island." Tenzin said to them. "Deal." Lily said as she got ready. "Jinora if you would." Tenzin said as Jinora restarted to gates. Lily then went through the gates but, unlike Korra she went through it with ease. Everyone's jaws dropped at the site of Lily going thru the gates. Soon Lily made it through the gates. "Yes first try." Lily said as Lucas and the kids started to cheer. Tenzin watched Lily come around the gates to meet them. "So can we stay?" Lily asked Tenzin. "Fine you two can stay for now." Tenzin said lowering his head. Korra on the other hand got mad after all Korra lost track of how many times she got tossed out by the gates and Lily got thru it on her first time.
Korra then rushed into the gates again. "Korra wait." Lucas said as Korra got knocked around again. "Patience Korra." Tenzin said as she got hit again. "Relax Korra go with the flow." Lily said as Korra had enough. Korra then yelled as she lit the gates on fire. "Korra calm down." Lucas said as he dodged a piece of the gate that was sent flying at him. Soon everyone had a worried look on their face as Korra finally started to calm down. "That was a 2,000-year-old historical treasure. What- what is wrong with you?" Tenzin said getting mad. "There's nothing wrong with me. I've been practicing just like you taught me. But it isn't sinking in okay? It hasn't clicked like you said it would." Korra said to Tenzin still mad. "Korra this isn't something you can force. If you would only listen to me." Tenzin said to Korra. "I have been. But you know what I think? Maybe the problem isn't me. Maybe the reason I haven't learned airbending yet is because you're a terrible teacher." Korra said to Tenzin. "ALL RIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH." Everyone turned their heads to Lucas. "Korra the problem is both Tenzin teaching and you." Lucas said. "What do you mean?" Korra asked Lucas. "Tenzin only airbender students are his kids, so he doesn't have a lot of experience when it comes to teaching. And Korra your problem is you expect to be able to make a tornado after day one. You need to have patient then you will learn airbending in time." Lucas said only for Korra to walk away mad. "I'll go keep an eye on her." Lily said as she went after Korra. "You're a terrible teacher, daddy." Mello said as he started to play with the ruins of the gates. "Mello don't play with the burned wood." Lucas said as he went after Mello. Then Tenzin girls hug their father.
After the gates Korra and Lily went to her room while Lucas stayed and help clean up the gates. A few hours later everyone had dinner, but Korra still wouldn't come out of her room so Lucas drought them some food. On the way back to his room he made is way passed Tenzin and his family having dinner. "Okay everyone here?" Pema said placing some food down. "Wait where's Korra?" Pema said looking around for Korra. "Honestly Pema I am at my wit's end with that girl. I-I don't know how to get through to her." Tenzin said to Pema. "Dear the best thing you can do right now is to give Korra some space." Pema said to Tenzin. "She's right, but you need to give her some freedom too." Tenzin and Pema turned their heads to see Lucas standing in the doorway. "What are you talking about?" Tenzin said to Lucas. "Tenzin you told Korra the Air is the element of freedom, but you keep her locked up." Lucas said to Tenzin. "Then tell me what am I supposed to?" Tenzin asked Lucas. "Just let her gave some freedom let her run wild in town like a normal person and think of something new to help teach her." Lucas said before walking away. "You must promise me that your teenage years won't be like this." Tenzin said to his kids. "I will make no such promises." Jinora said lowering her book to face her father.
Republic City Arena
Later that night, Lucas was in his room cleaning his Pokemon while Korra and Llly sncked out to go see Mako and Bolin again. "Don't you think we should have brought Lucas with us?" Lily asked Korra as they walk to Mako and Bolin. "No I'm still mad at him." Korra said. "Korra he's just trying to help." Lily said before they entered a room. They entered to find Mako and Bolin with down look on their face. "We didn't miss your match did we? You guys look like you lost already." Korra said to them. "We might as well have." Bolin said. "Why?" Lily asked. "Hasook's a no-good no-show." Mako said to the girls then a referee opened the door. "You got two minutes to come out ready to play, or you're disqualified." A referee said as he closed the door. "Well there goes our shot at the tournament and the winnings." Mako said. "Can't you asked one of those guys to fill in?" Korra said pointing to the other team in the room. "No, the rules say you can only compete on one team." Bolin said. "Ok so you guys need a waterbender right." Lily said to the guys. "Yeah." Boiln said to the girls.
"Then good news we have a free waterbender right here." Lily said pointing to Korra. "She right I am a top-notch waterbender if I do say so myself." Korra said to the guys. "But you're the Avatar isn't that cheating?" Bolin asked Mako. "It isn't cheating if I only do waterbending." Korra said. "She's right." Lily said. "No way I'd rather forfeit than look like a fool out there." Mako said. "Wow thanks for the vote of confidence." Korra said to Mako. "Do we need to have a talk about your feelings Mako?" Lily said to Mako as the referee came back into the room. "Time's up you in or out?" The referee asked them. "We're in." Korra said to the referee. "We are?" Mako said "Yes." Bolin said. "Just give her a minute to get into her uniform." Lily said to the referee. "Hey I didn't agree to this." Mako said to Korra and Lily. "You can thank us later." Korra said as she started to get the uniform on. "These girls are crazy." Mako said. "Oh come on Mako I'm sure she'll be fine out there." Lily said to Mako.
"Looks like the Fire Ferrets have ferreted out a last-minute replacement waterbender." The Announcer said as the team got into positions. "Let's see if she's another diamond in the rough, like the brothers from the school of hard knocks." The Announcer said as Korra adjusted her uniform. "Don't do anything too fancy or aggressive in fact, don't do anything. Just try not to get knocked off the ring." Mako said to Korra as they got into position. "You got it captain." Korra said. "You got this Korra." Lily said form the side lines. "Players are you ready?" the referee said before blowing a whistle. Then the bell ring and Korra knocked one of the guys over the side railing not off the back of the platforms. Korra cheered as but was interrupted by the referee. "Fire Ferret waterbender Penalty. Move back one zone." The referee said. "What why?" Korra asked the referee. "You're only allowed to knock players off the back of the ring not over the sides." Mako said to Korra. "Oh whoops." Korra said. "Maybe we should have read the role book." Lily said quietly. After Korra move to zone 2 the bell rings again and they got back into the action. "And we're back in action after that hiccup. But I'm not so sure this replacement Player knows what she's doing." The Announcer said as Korr kept getting hit she tried to counter attacked but she crossed a line then the buzzer when off. "Foul over the line move back to zone three." the referee said to Korra. "I'll show you over the line." Korra said as she went back as the crowd boo her. "Korra relax." Lily said to Korra. Then the bell went off. "The Platypus-bears take round one." The Announcer said as the team got back to their starting positions. The bell rang again and they started to battle again. "The Platypus-Bears know a green player when they see one. And they are focusing the brunt of their bending on this poor girl." The Announcer said as Korra got hit with a few attacks. But Korra then blocked a few attacks with earth disks. "Wait a minute did that waterbender just earthbend?" The Announcer said as everyone gasps then the whistle blow. "Foul I think." The referee said. "Ah oh?" Lily said knowing that they were busted.
Republic City Air Temple Island
Back on Air Temple Island a few minutes before the match. "Lucas it Tenzin." Tenzin said knocking on the door to Lucas room. Lucas then returned his Pokemon. "Coming." Lucas said opening the door. "So what's up?" Lucas asked Tenzin. "Have you seen Korra this evening?" Tenzin asked Lucas. "No, I haven't seen her since I gave the girls some food why?" Lucas said closing his room door. "She isn't in her room." Tenzin said to Lucas. "I'm sure she around here somewhere let's asked the guards." Lucas said as he started to walk to the White Lotus guards with Tenzin following him. After a few minutes Lucas made it to the guards before Tenzin. "Hey guys do you know where Korra is?" Lucas asked the guards but they were focused on the radio. "Did I see that right? Hold on folks we're just waiting for the referees official call." The Announcer said over the radio. "What happened?" Lucas asked the guards. "But I think this Replacement player could be-" The Announcer said over the radio but was interrupted by Tenzin. "Pardon me everyone have you seen Korra this evening?" Tenzin asked the guards. "They not paying attention Tenzin the are to focus on that radio." Lucas said to Tenzin as they turned their heads to the radio. "You've gotta be kidding me. She's the avatar folks! Playing in a Pro Bending match. Can you believe that?" The Announcer said over the radio. Tenzin then turn his head to Lucas eye twitching. "Did you know about this." Tenzin asked Lucas. "I didn't know they went to the Arena." Lucas said waving his hands in front of his face. "I'll get her myself." Tenzin said walking away making a gust of wind. "Tenzin wait for me." Lucas said following Tenzin.
Republic City Arena
Back in the Arena the referee made his called. "The Avatar will be permitted to continue, so long as she solely bends water." The referee said to the crowd. Soon the bell rings again and they restarted round two. "This girl may be the Avatar, but she's no Pro bender and the Platypus-Bears are intent on exploiting that weakness." The Announcer said as Korra was hit by all three attacks. "They're giving her their best, and her best ain't good enough to stop it." The Announcer said as Korra was sent flying over the edge. "And she's in the drink." The Announcer said as she hit the water "KORRA." LIly yelled watching Korra fall only to notice Tenzin and Lucas standing below her. "Uh oh." Lily said backing away from the railing. Korra then came out of the water right in front of a mad Tenzin and a worried Lucas. "Oh hey Tenzin, Lucas. I thought you didn't like coming to these matches Tenzin." Korra said to them as she got out of the water. "Once again you have flagrantly disobeyed my orders you were to stay on the island let's go." Tenzin said to Korra. "No I'm kind of in the middle of something." Korra said to Tenzin. "I have tried my very best to get through to you by being gentle and patient, but clearly the only thing you respond to is force. So I am ordering you to come back to the temple right now." Tenzin said to Korra. "Why so I can sit around and meditate about how bad I am at Airbending? You know I'm beginning to think there's a reason I haven't been able to learn it because maybe I don't even need it!" Korra said to Tenzin. "What? That is a ludicrous suggestion the avatar need to learn Airbending it is not optional." Tenzin said to Korra. "No this is what I need to learn modern styles of fighting." Korra said to Tenzin. "Ok enough both of you. Korra you have to learn Airbending you don't have a choice and Tenzin try a different way to teach her." Lucas said to them. "STAY OUT OF THIS!" They said to Lucas. "Lucas I don't need Airbending. I need this." Korra said to Lucas. "Korra all you have done is break the rules and got tossed around like a rag doll." Lucas said to Korra. "For once Lucas is right being the Avatar isn't all about fighting Korra. When will you learn that?" Tenzin said to Korra. "He's right you need to use your head not your fist to face a problem." Lucas said to Korra. "I have a match to go finish." Korra said walking away. "Korra you are going to lose if you don't use your head and not your fist." Lucas said to Korra but she ignored him and went up. "The Platypus-Bears win round two." The Announcer said. "Lucas I want you and Lily off my island first thing in the morning." Tenizn said as he started to walk. "Wait Tenzin can we talk about this?" Lucas said going after Tenzin. "Well there goes our home." Lily said as the teams got into position.
"Round three." The Announcer said as the bell rings. The Platypus-Bears then forced Mako and Bolin into the railing. "The Platypus-Bears come out of the gate and quickly go after the Ferret Brothers. They're corralled in the corner, wedged in the edge of xzone one." The Announcer said as Mako and Bolin couldn't even move from all the attacks. "Unable to come to the Avatar's rescue and boy does she need it." The Announcer said as Korra kept taking every other hit from the Platypus-Bear. In the stands Lucas finally caught up to Tenzin. "Tenzin wait you can't throw us out." Lucas said as the crowd cheered. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't." Tenzin said utining to face Lucas. "We we're just trying to help Korra." Lucas said as Korra, got knocked back a bit. "Looks like the Avatar's Pro Bending debut is going to be cut short." The Announcer said as Korra kept getting hit. "Ugh. How does this help Korra?" Tenzin asked Lucas as Korra just knocked to the edge. "She's been pushed back to zone three. And the water is calling her name." The Announcer said as Korra regain her footing. "Ok this isn't what I had in mind, but we were the only thing to help her. We thought some freedom would help her with Airbending." Lucas said as Korra started to move differently. "It's only a matter of time before-." The Announcer said, but stopped when the attacks started to miss her. Korra was using spiral movements to dogged the Platypus-Bears attacks. "Hold the phone stop the presses. She's still in the game folks. And she's moving like an entirely different player. All off a sudden the Platypus-Bear strikes are only striking air." The Announcer said as Korra dodge all of the Platypus-Bears attacks. "How about that?" Tenizn said watching Korra. "See if you give her some freedom then she can do it." Lucas said getting excited. "The Platypus-bears have no juice left." The Announcer said as the Platypus-Bear were losing energy and their attacks started to fail. "But Mako and Bolin are still fresh and juicy." The Announcer said as Mako Bolin and Korra went on the offensive. One by one the Platypus-Bears went overboard. "KNOCKOUT." The Announcer said as the bell rings. "WHOO-HOO!" Tenzin yelled. "YEAH THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" Lucas yelled. Then the crowd around them looked at them with a few funny looks. Tenzin regain his composure then started to walk. "I"didn't know you like sport Tenzin?" Lucas said following Tenzin. Tenzin just stayed silent.
"The Fire Ferrets come from way behind and steal the win what an upset folks. The rookies, Avatar in tow have nabbed a place in the championship tournament. I cannot believe it." The Announcer said as Korra, Bolin, and Mako took in the crowd cheers. "Yes."
"Yeah." Korra and Bolin said. high fiving each other. "Korra what I can I say? You really came alive in that last round. The way you dodged their attacks. You are a natural." Mako said to Korra. "Thanks. But I can't take all the credit. Someone else taught me those moves." Korra said. "Korra way to go." Lily said coming out of nowhere and giving Korra a big hug. "Lily where did you come from?" Bolin said surprise to see Lily their. "Oh Altaira gave me a ride over." Lily said as Blion turned his head to see Altaria. "Wah what is that bird next to the Fire Ferrets?" The Announcer said as the crowd quiet down wondering what Altaria is. "Lily could you (gasp) let me go (gasp) can't breath." Korra said turning blue. "Oh sorry." Lily said. "Maybe you two should go." Mako said to the girls. "Ok come now Korra let's go." Lily said as Lily walked back to where she was a few minutes ago.
Republic City Air Temple Island
Back on Air Temple Lucas and Rillaboom was helping Oliva and the Air acolytes fix the gates. Soon Korra and Lily came back to talk with Tenzin. "I'm really sorry. About everything I said. I was really frustrated with myself, and I took it out on you two." Korra said to Lucas and Korra. "I think owe you an apology too. I was trying to teach you about patience, but I lost mine. And I'm sorry for being hard on you, Lily and Lucas. I thought that you two were just a distraction to Korra training." Tenzin said to them. "No problem Tenzin." Lucas said to Tenzin. "No hard feelings?" Korra said to Tenzin. "Yeah are good?" Lily asked Tenzin. "Of course not we're all good. By the way you were really good out there tonight. You moved just like an airbender." Tenzin said to Korra. "Wait you stayed and watched?" Korra asked Tenzin. "You bet we did Tenzin and me cheered so loud when you guys won you should have seen us." Lucas said as Tenzin send a gust of wind into his face making him fall on the ground. "Ow." Lucas said as he started to get up. "Pro bening turned out to be the perfect teaching tool for you." Tenzin said to Korra as they both started to crack a smile. "I'll see you tomorrow for Airbning practice. Bright and early. And by the way I kind of permanently joined the Fire Ferrets, and we're playing in the tournament in a couple of weeks." Korra said as she started to walk away. "Also Lucas I volunteer us to help the Fire Ferrets with training." Lily said as she went after Korra. Then both Lucas and Tenzin just sighed then they look at each other. "What are going to do with those two?" Tenzin asked Lucas. "I have no Idea?" Lucas said as they both lowered their heads. "I'm sure you two will figure something out." Oliva said before she left them. Soon Korra returned to her room and looked out her window to the arena. And in the arena Mako was doing the same thing but looking towards Air Temple Island.
