『Teamate』
The ship horn blared.
“All-Abooard! Olivine Port Ho! We—"
The captain’s announcement went largely unheard. Komala-wrapped—as Esther was—to the ship’s mast, the ship’s unreasonably loud horn was all the louder and all the more unreasonable.
Fortunately, the sight of Olivine Port needed no explanation; they had arrived. Had they spent that much time on the ship already? Whatever—she had a fight to win. The man and his Rapidash had a few tricks up their sleeve. Fire Spin would stop her advance but that wasn’t a big problem since: one, they didn’t really need to scale the mast and; two, the man had climbed further up the mast and above the flames which, ostensibly, left himself wide open. His follow-up trick with detaching the fire spin might have been a problem, but…Theo could take care of that!
Esther wet her thumb and stuck it out: the wind direction was… Then she aligned her thumb with Rick and drew a line from him that went opposite to the wind direction. The Oblivian had a decent sense for distances and the wind, she was a frequent windsurfer after all, and she swiftly guesstimated a target location.
“Hop on my shoulder Susu; line up with my thumb and use «Bubblebeam»! Spread ‘em out!”
The Pond Skater clambered across Esther’s back and settled along her arm. It only took a moment for the bug-type to align herself and release a froth of bubbles from her antennae. The bubbles weren’t aimed at Rick, but rather the space just off to the side. Here Esther relied on the wind to blow the bubbles into Rick and thereby avoid the wall of flames.
Naturally, Esther’s extremely rough guesstimation and the inconsistent winds resulted in most of the bubbles falling to the deck below. However, enough would head Rick’s way to give him some trouble, and with his Rapidash currently occupied, he’d be hard-pressed to evade. That wasn’t to say Esther thought she had her opponent caught—that certainly wasn’t the case. In fact, she assumed he would be able to evade or otherwise resolve this and was already moving on to her follow-up.
“You’d better watch out!”
Her warning was for both Theo, who’d need to be careful to avoid the bubbles that would rain down from above, and for Rick since Esther wasn’t a psychopath and didn’t want to recklessly endanger him.
“Straight up Susu, «Water Gun»! Full Power!”
Switching moves and targets, L’ Basseau released a torrent of water straight towards the flames above.
Rapidash’s flames were strong, it was much stronger than Susu and Esther guessed that wasn’t by a small margin. Its flames were further strengthened by the sun and the fire it absorbed from Theo’s Rapidash. When it came to Rapidash’s flames, strong was now an understatement—but that was all the better. Dousing or even contesting the flames wasn’t the Oblivian’s goal. Instead, her goal was the byproduct. If Rick wanted to evade the bubble beam from earlier, then one of his options was to retreat into the safety of the Fire Spin. Therefore, Esther planned to feed the fire with water and produce steam.
If Rick chose to stay on the mast either to avoid the Bubble beam or for another reason, Esther fully intended to steam-broil his ass!
