(One last Open Challenge for now until the others finish, this time with the theme of my youngest fighters. You can challenge any to a 1 on 1 or 2 on 2. Any Special Rules you want can also be suggested though it will be a Grudge Match regardless.)

On the top of Final Destination stood... probably a very unusual sight for anyone coming for a challenge. Six kids, all looking twelve and under was sitting and talking around. Playing a bit save for Maria who was watching as her Guardians were being played with. Don't be fooled by their young looks though, all these kids are powerful fighters in their own right. Baby Mario, young hero that have saved Peach since he was a wee lad, defeated an alien race with the help of his older self and brother. Cream, helped Sonic beat Eggman on numerous occasions. Rom and Ram, Goddess Twins that have saved their world multiple times from much older and bigger gods. Kirby... Well, destroying unthinkable evils is kind of his life. And Maria, helped beat Dracula twice... Well, the second time did not happen yet but you know. These kids can do more than play and they are willing to prove it in the depths of space.

Pick Your Challenger

Baby Mario	Cream	Rom and Ram	Kirby	Maria Renard

Peach's chest tightened with anxiety. Here she was, with two budding students hoping to learn to better defend themselves without the aid of their pokemon, when who and behold but a bunch of adorable children showed up! It was like someone had struck her right in the chest, her breathe escaping her with a squelched wheeze of protest. There were clear, concise rules about the pecking order of the world that you had to follow if you were going to be a refined hero or heroine! You had to save princesses. You had to fight bad guys. And you COULDN'T BULLY LITTLE KIDS!! " . . . Hey Princess? Is everything alright?" White asked. "...Oh, yes. Everything is quite fine." Peach sadly relented. "Wow, our opponents are really young!" Black remarked. "...I wonder if they've seen my new movie, Brycen Man Strikes Back Harder~?" Black mused aloud. It was a superhero movie, probably appealing to a younger crowd. And being a good superhero movie, it probably didn't suffer the fate of appealing only to boys. "...Oh yeah. Wasn't that originally called Brycen Man 2 or something?" White asked. "Oh--No. You're thinking of Brycen Man Strikes Back 2!" Black replied. "--Isn't that... Isn't that Brycen Man Strikes Back Harder??" White asked  "Nooo... That's Brycen Man 4!" Black replied, giggling at White's expense. "--...What's the third movie??" White asked. "Brycen Man Strikes Back 2." Black replied rather simply. "...What's with this series names??" White asked in abject confusion. "Heehee, I think the director was having a lot of fun~" Black replied rather goofily.

Peach gently scooped up Baby Mario and just kinda cradled him idly. "I do hate to interrupt, but I believe we will be your opponents today..." Peach sadly remarked. It wasn't the first time she'd been forced to fight in the arena against her better judgment. The elevator to Final Destination was already gone, having had to go back down so that the stage would return to being perfectly flat. "It is quite wonderful that you are all striving to be such great heroes at such a young age." Peach began, stopping to glance at Kirby for a moment. ...Kirby didn't we fight in the second and third war together years ago? How are you a kid?? ...Peach you've been 17 for the past 30 years, don't think too hard on this. "I would like to invite all of you for cookies later. Though... the matter of our stadium match remains unaddressed. Since you are all aspiring heroes and heroines, I would like to invite those of you who would be interested in joining the Magical Girl's Society to step forward." Peach thoughtfully explained, her gaze stopping on ROM and RAM, her smile brightening a bit and she nodded in a manner that seemed to suggest she expected them to be among those stepping forward. "You are all of course invited to visit the sisterhood at any time you please, should you desire any sort of aid. Fighting is not necessary to join. However, to make the best use of our time here I believe it would be useful to get to know those interested. ...And of course, the rest of you are still welcome to those cookies~!" Peach went on, affectionately touching noses with Baby Mario before setting him back down. Her gaze then turned to Cream and Marisa. "The sisterhood is a group dedicated to training and supporting our sisters here in the world of Li, both on and off the battlefield. ...Or the final destination. Come to think of it, we had many a fight here instead of Battlefield. Where does that saying come from again..?" Peach began to explain, briefly trailing off in thought. "--Oh! ...If you ever feel alone or disrespected because of who you are, the sisterhood is a place of acceptance. We are a lot like... a family." Peach finished explaining, turning to expectantly glance between Cream and Marisa. Cream looked adorable. ...The sweet look in her eyes made her question if she'd be interested in fighting to prove herself. She didn't seem the type, but Peach smiled invitingly at her anyway. Marisa, on the other hand, gave her weird mixed vibes. Her eyes were ... different. She picked up on something tougher than she appeared in them. Peach once again smiled invitingly. "...If you are both interested, I'm certain I could make time for whichever of you does not fight today."

Meanwhile, Black and White began sending out their pokemon. Black's was Keldeo, the not!Sans from before Sans. And Vivian was a chocolate color lopunny with strawberry colored floof. She was gorgeous! ...Something about the way she held herself was off though. Lopunny were very timid pokemon that ran at the sign of danger. Her body language was a lot more ... aggressive. Like she was waiting for an excuse to charge into battle. The two trainers smiled brightly at the presented kids, remaining respectfully quiet for the moment being.

The Baby Mario, lacking a lot of his older memories was puzzled by the adult Peach showing up at first. Actually getting him to stop running around before being cradled by Peach, the smallest of the bunch yawning a bit... prematurely. "Oh, Peach! Nice to see you again!" Ram declared as her and Rom ran to greet the princess, Rom a bit slower than Ram. ".... Brycan Man? Movie? What is that?" the girl in the pink dress questioned in confusion. These were all words that certainly meant.. nothing to her era of time. "Oh! Movies are like these shows but longer and so much prettier at times. You can watch them on the big screen and it's very exciting!... Mom, never really took me to see Superhero movies though..." Cream explained before lamenting for a moment, Cheese doing a sad pose. "... So, they are kind of like... a play? Theater?" the other girl questioned, trying to relate it to terms she knew existed. "Sort of! We have to take you to one some time, Maria! You'll be amazed!" the rabbit cheerfully added. Honestly what is considered modern in most worlds is surprising.

"Cookies!" Kirby and Mario seemed to cheer in unison, the pink puffball asleep until now. "Oh! Rom and I would love to join. Especially if we get to learn some of that Love Magic stuff! Let's accept the challenge, Rom!" Ram declared jumping a bit. "Okay..." Rom agreed, nodding a bit. "... Sisterhood? Disrespect?" Maria seemed to repeat. The words were... something that were really odd to hear, coming from her century. Still, it reminded her of how she was never taken seriously as a Vampire Hunter. Not only was she 12, she was also a girl, a kind of double decker to not be taken seriously in her profession. She knew she was a highly accomplished magician but there was always a case where she'd be scoffed at. She looked at the others. Baby Mario and Kirby seemed more interested in the food admittedly. "... Cream, you mind if I-?"  Maria began, looking to  the rabbit, probably the most interested in this. "It's alright, Maria. I was planning to cheer you and  the others on anyway," the girl nodded sweetly. "Thanks..."

Cameras rose and Maria stepped forward, the cat, dragon, doves, owl, cardinal, and turtle stepping forward too.... It was like she had the entire forest at her command. "I don't think we've been introduced. I am Maria Renard, Vampire Hunter of the Belmont Clan! I would say something about underestimating a young girl Vampire Hunter but... I think you understand," Maria introduced before pointing forward. "Suzaku! Senryu! Genbu!" Maria declared, the vermillion cardinal suddenly flew at Peach, it seeming to be a normal tackle until the bird burst into flames, aiming to slam into her with a blazing tackle followed up with an azure dragon flying at Peach as well. The turtle let off a black aura before a black shell appeared around Maria, helping to strive off blows.

"... Wow, Maria is really into it..."  Rom noted to Ram mostly. "Let's not let her show us up!" the other girl declared. "Right, HDD On!" the two declared, going all out from the start, their bodies engulfed in light and green numbers before they appeared in new form, now a bit taller and... not as poofy clothes. The twin Goddesses pulled out their pens, Ram pointing her's towards the bunny, causing an explosion of fire around it. Rom meanwhile spun her stylus around and then brought it down with an "Ice Coffin!", creating ice around Keldeo that would seek to bind him in an icy prison before exploding into a severe cold.

"Absolutely~ Though it may be short notice trying to teach you here and now, I would be happy to have you both for a training session any time you're ready. Love magic can give you another way to protect yourself and those you care about, which is quite useful if your normal methods of fighting aren't working out so well... I have other students who would make great training partners." Peach explained rather cheerily, beaming at the two familiars. Peach then turned her attention to Mariah, patiently listening to her every word. However, it was to her surprise that Mariah attacked so abruptly after beginning to talk to her!

Peach was knocked over and floored rather hard by the blows, picking up her crown and gingerly placing it back on her head as she picked herself back up, gently brushing off her dress as she struggled to recover her breath. She seemed to get better after a couple of moments though, regaining a sense of regalness in her posture. "...I do believe that "understand" might be an understatement, Miss Maria." Peach wistfully replied. "I am definitely more than a little familiar with that feeling... I know how it feels to be underestimated because you are a young girl." Peach added in that same, slightly sad tone. There was an argument to be made that her appearance and gentle demeanor did a lot to help people underestimate her, but then again--Maria didn't look like the conventional tough girl either. A lot of girls didn't, probably because a lot of the concepts that make up that perception originate from movie cliches. Peach offered Maria a bright smile, quickly cheering up and seeming to pass off her injuries. "I dare say you may find it quite difficult to find a bigger advocate or aficionado for the unique strengths hidden in girls like us~ Whether it's today on the battlefield or some time in the future, I expect great things of you, Maria~" Peach encouragingly added, a pretty pink heart fluttering above her head for a moment before placing her hands on her hips. "That's why I offer to teach people about love magic! Not only does it empower people who might not otherwise be able to defend themselves to do so and give others a way to diversify their talents, but it allows us to turn the things other people perceive as our weaknesses into our strengths! It does make it all the more satisfying to teach them a lesson about belittling us~" Peach added with a playful wink that hinted at a tougher, more vindictive side of Peach that was generally kept on the down low. She then briefly bowed her head. "...My name is Princess Peach Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom. I do hope to see more of you after this battle, Miss Maria." Peach finished, finally introducing herself before readying herself for the fight at hand.

Meanwhile, Keldeo shattered the ice coffin before it reached him using a magically extending horn and Vivian protected herself by ... shielding herself with her enormous ears! Wow. Turns out she's not especially flammable!

((Keldeo and Vivian bubble shield their attacks.))

Peach's dress floofed up a bit, becoming a bit frillier as she empowered herself with love magic! she did a cute little pirouette. 

((Peach's Frills of Justice Activated. All her mods increase by +2 for 3 turns except Charisma, which increases by +4))

Peach the glanced over her shoulder to make sure Black and White were watching. She then conjured a much bigger pretty pink heart, tossing it at Maria! It would explosively pop upon reaching her with surprising force!

p_1d20+9 (Peach's Love Magic @ Maria; Does 23% Damage)

Peach then rushed at Maria, turning around and throwing herself backside first at her. Her bottom would also explode into hearts if it so much as brushed up against Maria.

p_1d20+7 (Peach's Peach Bomber @ Maria; Does 34% Damage)

Peach stifled a playful little giggle, peering over her shoulder at Maria without turning around. Seeing this, Black and White seemed to consider something or a moment. They then began attempting to imitate Princess Peach! Black and White first started by opening their hearts and attempting to call forth feelings of love, joy and girliness to pummel their opponents!  It seemed to come more difficult to White, who needed a moment to tap into her inner girly girl before the heart would actually materialize in her hands. They then tossed them at their opponents!

p_1d20+5 (Black's Mimic (Peach's Love Magic) @ Ram; Does 19% Damage)

White's love magic came out as a singular big heart that popped in one go. Black's, on the other hand, popped into a dozen smaller hearts that then popped like a cluster bomb! "Wooow~! That felt awesome!" Black gushed, gleefully admiring her work. White beamed slightly. "...Y-Yeah~ I've gotta admit, doing that myself felt pretty amazing." she breathlessly added. Peach couldn't help but beam with pride, watching two girls who previously couldn't protect themselves without the aid of their pokemon revel in the freedom they'd been given with their new powers. She could see White was weaker than Black at love magic by a noticeable margin, but that was okay.

((Black and White are using their last action to to prepare their roleplay ability beginning next turn.))

p_1d20(Rom dodged White's Magic)

p_1d20(Ram did not however with Black's)

Maria listened to Peach after her attempt at showing strength... Could channeling that spectrum really be that effective? Maria specialized in familiars so she did not have many spells that did not utilize their power aside from Hymn. "... Well if this love magic is truly so useful then show me what it's capable of! If what you tell me is true I doubt I can get a better example. It's a honor, Princess Peach," Maria stated with a curtsy.... As much of that power as she was about to feel, she had Genbu's Protection on for a reason. It was best not to underestimate a foe, no matter how they look.

Well, that was what she was thinking until the heart conjuring caught her off as it exploded against her. The Love Magic was defended massively by her shell, cutting the damage as it cracked but the force still caused her to stumble. She did not have the best defenses in the world but even with Genbu she felt that. Maria prepared herself for the next attack but was caught offguard as Peach turned around... What the? It was already too late as the explosion of the booty cracked her defenses even further as she fell back. Wow, she REALLY felt that. She would of hate to take that blow without Genbu protecting her. However, if one was paying attention during this, they'd notice the white cat disappeared at some point while Maria was getting assaulted.

Suddenly the cat would lunge past Peach and attempt to grab Perry and hand it to Maria as she rushed back past Peach... Not wanting to stay behind her since her front side seemed a better position after that last attack, she sang a song that contained a magical aura that would damage Peach's willpower and spirit if she could not resist. Senryu the dragon then came from behind to punch Peach.

Rom and Ram meanwhile stopped paying attention to Black and White and their Pokemon as... they just watched Maria get the smackdown. "Love Magic is so cool~!" Ram idolized with a bit of a sparkle in her eyes. It was so unlike any magic she has witnessed.... Not that many knew magic back home. "So cool..." Rom nodded quietly before looking back to White with a surprised look as she jumped back from the heart explosion. Ram however was too busy admiring as she was smacked in the side by Black. Wow, even getting hit by love magic, though painful, still did not deter from how pretty it was... Well, if they were trying it... "Hey! Let me try it too~!" Ram requested with a mischievious smirk before thrusted her empty palm towards Black, summoning... An extremely large heart that flew at Black. It was odd in that it seemed to constantly shift colors, from Blue like Rom to White to Black to Pink before exploding in a powerful explosion on Black... It was surprisingly powerful for her first attempt. Even stronger than Peach's.... Maybe a bit too strong in the love department as the love part actually seemed infectious.

p_1d20+4(Ram's Critical Love Magic Attempt on Black, deals 24% damage, inflicts Infatuation)

"Oh yeah! That really felt good after all! I love this spell!" Ram jumped up and down after successfully pulling off Love Magic on her own accord, seeming to get the concept on her own pretty fast. Rom meanwhile seemed to be trying the same but her hearts kept fading away rather immediately, often coming out as other elements entirely. She seemed to very poorly grasp the emotional spectrum unlike Ram. Ram looked over to Rom struggling and gave her a smile. "Don't worry, I am sure you'll get the hang of it. Let's try some magic we know we know!" Ram suggested to try and not let Rom get wrapped in self-issues. The blue twin hesitantly nodded before calling down a thunder spell onto White. "... Are we supposed to be attacking the girls?" Ram looked to Rom in a bit of a doubt. Weren't Tamers supposed to fight with their tamed monsters? ".... They um... are the only ones fighting?" Rom shrugged in confusion. Well, that made sense she guesses as she pointed her staff at Black, causing a sudden and intense explosion to form on her.

What's that?? Peach's mom senses are tingling! She glanced over her shoulder and deftly twisted her torso, daintily shifting Perry into her other arm away from the cat. She then playfully hip bumped the cat away from her, though perhaps thankfully there was no explosion this time. "Do be careful, Maria..! Perry, my parasol, very much has his own feelings and dreams." Peach thoughtfully remarked, worried that Maria might actually hurt Perry if she weren't careful to draw attention to the fact that her parasol was, in fact, a person. Twirling her parasol protectively in front of herself, a spinning face greeted Maria. "Hi~!" Perry remarked, unfazed by the spinning. Didn't he get dizzy? ...Apparently not. Weird parasol biology. Peach's mind was then assaulted, causing her to cringe in pain, only to gracefully dance out of the way of Senryu like a ballerina with a really bad headache. She needed a moment...

...Meanwhile, Black gasped as she found herself the target of a giant flying heart! She opened her arms wide! ...and a pretty pink heart shaped bubble appeared around her, absorbing most of the blast before popping, leaving Black to wobble on her feet.

((Black bubble shielded Ram's love magic))

"--Wow! You picked up on that really fast! You must have a really pretty heart~" Black remarked, beaming slightly at Ram. "Probably even prettier than your pink hair, or Rom's beautiful pink eyes, or those really cool dresses you both wear~! Eee~!" Black went on to gush, fangirl squeeing a little and bouncing on her feet a bit. It might be a bit pointless trying to infatuate her. She clearly already had a bit of a girl crush. "Don't give up, okay Rom?? I bet your heart's really pretty too! Maybe it just wants to receive love instead of giving it right now~! I bet you both could both make great members of the sisterhood~" Black went on to encouragingly add.

p_1d20+1 (White's Thunder Magic Dodge; ...Success!)
p_1d20 (Black's Red Hot Explosion Dodge; Failure)

...White awkwardly hopped out of the way of the thunder, becoming quite flustered as she staggered in its wake. Meanwhile, Black got blown up and went flying past White, nearly hitting the spooked trainer in the process. Yeesh. "Ow... ow, ow..." Black murmured as she sat up and shakily began getting back to her feet. No one ever said that there weren't obvious downsides to fighting directly without your pokemon. Speaking of her Pokemon, Keldeo observed this and chimed in. "Are you sure you don't want me to do anything? It looks like you're going to get put in the hospital..." Keldeo remarked. "Oh--Yeah... I want to become a good student so I can share the love, y'know?" Black shakily replied, brushing herself off a bit. "--With who? Dawn?" Keldeo curiously asked. "--Oh no." Black replied. "...White?" Keldeo added in the same curious tone. White lowkey flinched, her heart beginning to race. "No~! Silly..." Black replied. "I can show them my love just fine already! This'll help me give love to the people who need it most." Black added, doing no favors for the steady reddening of White's cheeks. White tried her best not to acknowledge this. "Oooh... That makes sense." Keldeo relented.

"Oh Maria~!" Peach called, smirking at her chosen opponent. "I hope you did not underestimate me~ I do have more to show you, and this time I will be going all out~" she playfully remarked in a light-hearted tone. "I do hope that the force behind my actions will not take away from the message I intend to tell through my presence here..." Peach went on to caution, pre-emptively apologizing for what she was about to do. She did often feel bad about beating people up, after all. Which raised the question--if she wasn't here for glory and dominance, what had brought her here to the stadium? Why had she fought so hard she became the stadium champ if she was reluctant to do it? ...Pay attention. She's literally telling you right now. "To spread hope and inspiration to girls across the world,  by showing that we can amount to great things if we put our hearts into it!" Peach explained, light-heartedly striking a cute pose. Peach, White and Black's hearts lit up with a passionate flame, spurred into action by Peach's vocal display of girl power!
(( Peach's Girl Power Activated; She and her female allies gain a +p_1d11 damage bonus, +p_1d11 damage resistance, and +p_1d11 to their stats for 1 turn. ))

Peach then bounded toward Maria with a big smile on her face skidding to a stop and drawing Perry back before whimsically swinging him like a golf club up at Maria. Perry laughed as his canopy began to glow with pink magical energy, little pink hearts radiating off of him and leaving a trail of magical hearts in his wake, all building up to a humongous pink heart that would burst into existence with explosive force that could only be described as stratosphere shattering on contact. As she finished her swing, Peach would glance over her shoulder to smile at Black and White, hoping to catch them attentively watching like good students. They were, of course.

p_1d20+11 (Peach's Hand of Temperance; Does 50% Damage)

Peach then burst into a light run, carefully holding the front of her skirt up just slightly so as to prevent it from getting caught under her feet. She was moving to catch up to Maria, so that she could show her what was arguably her other strongest move. She had to wonder if she would have asked her not to hold back if she knew what that entailed. But well--That was how things went. Throwing herself forward, she nearly tripped as she reached out to catch Maria with Perry, hooking her underneath her canopy and attempting to pull her in close! Perry's canopy would then move to close around her, swallowing her up and transporting her to Peach's stomach in a rather cartoonish fashion!

p_1d20+15 (Peach's Devour! Does 11% damage. Maria may make attacks to try and free herself.)

White and Black watched this, eyes widening in realization. Black began to giggle like a dork after a moment, while White was left to question if they were meant to imitate that. After a few moments of watching in mild confusion, White turned to Black.  "...I... don't think I can get through that one with acting." she awkwardly lamented. "Sure you can~! You just have to ask Princess Peach for some help! Watch! Princess? May I borrow Perry~?" Black leisurely asked. Peach blanched slightly. She'd more intended for them to copy the former than the latter, but who was she to correct the misunderstanding if Black were interested? "--...Certainly. Please be gentle with him..." Peach anxiously replied, rather nervous about letting anyone else take care of Perry. As a parasol, he wasn't the best at protecting himself. One could only train so much to surpass the handicap of having no limbs. Peach tossed Perry, who opened and leisurely glided over to Black. Catching him, Black beamed at White. "Now watch~!" she supportively remarked, choosing her target and locking eyes with her with a bright smile.

Rom.

Black rushed toward Rom! "Get ready~!" she light-heartedly advised, only to daintily bounce a couple of times mid-stride before turning about, landing once more and then flinging herself backside first at Rom, using the height she gained from her bouncing to try and booty bump Rom at head height! ...That's a high bounce, Black. Are you a cheerleader? ...Of course you are.

p_1d20+9 (Black's Mimic [Hand of Temperance] with an odd Peach Bomber twist @ Rom; Does 48% Damage)

She then spun around and delicately moved to sweep Rom up in the same fashion Peach had! "Now come on~! Get. In. Mah. Bellyyy~!" Black announced, really poorly feigning an aggressive tone in between little spurts of giggling at the absurdity of the situation. ...Or maybe she was just a big fan of the Pokemon world's version of Austin Powers. Either way, she assertively and playfully pushed Rom deeper into Perry's canopy, which would perhaps result in her mid-section filling out a bit moments later.

p_1d20+9 (Black's Mimic [Devour] @ Rom; Does 11% damage and Rom may make attacks to try and free herself.)

Watching this, White blanched. ...Did Black just reference an adult mov--...This movie is rated PG-13. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is rated PG-13. ...This joke doesn't even make sense now WHAT THE HELL MPAA. ...White just kinda watched until Black turned and offered her the parasol invitingly. Swallowing nervously, White reluctantly moved to take the parasol. " . . . Welp. Here goes nothing." White remarked, brandishing Perry. "You're not nothing~" Perry encouragigngly replied, misunderstanding the reference before being interrupted as White charged at Ram! She took a rather direct approach unlike the others, simply attempting torush Ram and trip her up with a forceful swing at the legs, turning Perry upside down so that she simply fell in and vanished if she were succesful.

"... Huh? Your parasol is a person?! I just assumed it was some magical focus. Oh, sorry, no mean to offend, Perry, there is just nothing like that back home..." Maria replied... Well, actually there were legends of a Japanese Spirit in Japan that possessed unwanted Umbrellas... But those are often regarded as madeup stories. She has never seen a umbrella with a foot and eye before, that's for sure. "Wow! You can use Love Magic to block too! That's so cool!"Ram declared, her power button pupils practically sparkling with interest. "... Th-thanks... They match my sister..." Rom said shyly. "... Receive Love?" Rom tilted her head in confusion at  Black's Statement. Is... that a form of Love Magic too? This was a bit more complicated than she thought. "I can help train you, Rom! It's really easy when you get into the right mindset~," Ram added.

"... Underestimate you? Who would I be to underestimate a girl in a frilly pink dress? I would not expect anything less than your best. I want to feel this message!" Maria called... Not really underestimating Peach but the motto made sense. And well, if she got beat proving it, it just shows she has a lot to learn. Peach ran at her with Perry... Well she was not entirely wrong at him being usable as a focus.

Maria just barely managed to jump out of the way of the swing. She was glad she did because she could FEEL the force in that swing despite avoiding it. She had pretty good senses but if it felt like a missed swing could break your bones if it landed, well that was a pretty bad sign. How powerful could this magic be?! She wasn't trying to underestimate Peach but she could make Dracula look weak! However, Peach tripping when approaching her caused her to lower her guard as the canopy of Perry clung to her. Wait, what? What was going on?! This felt really odd all of a sudden! The world went from enclosed Parasol material to something a lot... Was... Was she where she thought she was? How?! How did Perry clinging to her put her in a stomach?! Who's stomach was she even in?! She has so many questions!... But was a bit too stunned to say them out loud.

"... Um, Ram? What happened to Miss Maria? Perry opened and she's gone," Rom asked in confusion to her sister. Was Peach always that big in the belly? ".... Get what? What just happened?" Ram said in confusion. Were there something they were missing here? Did they like Magic shows? "... Why are you looking at me-" Rom began before receiving a powerful slam of the backside sending her to the floor instantly.

Too stunned to react, Rom weakly struggled against Perry as he went over her. She was welcomed to a rather... terrifying and concerning sight as she was fully pulled into the canopy of Black's Belly. This place was gross and... Sticky and... Rom was so confused but the situation brought back some rather bad memories before Rom and Ram began fighting. Tears began to well up before there was just... Sobbing from Black.

(Rom is too emotionally stressed to put up a struggle unless comforted)

Now, Ram may not be as bright or perceptive as her sister but when two people vanish under canopies and two people seem fatter you'd have to be a complete idiot to not get what was going on. Still, White seemed intent on trying her best to get Ram in her belly with Perry.

p_1d20-2(.... Wow, that crit mattered a ton. Ram...)

"... Sorry, but serving time is over~," Ram declared as she jumped back over and used her wings to propel herself away from Perry."Ice Coffin EX!" Ram declared as she tried and formed an icy prison around Black that would immediately explode into a ton of icy fragments that would pierce her with a bit of pain. Using the last of her share Energy, Ram rocketed to White before swiping with an ice sword she materialized out of nowhere, however the accuracy of it was really poor as her HDD gave out and she fell to the floor during it.

"..." Ram could kind of feel that Rom was under some kind of stress... She was not entirely sure what exactly but... "... Are they going to be... you know, okay inside your bellies? You won't accidently... you know?" Ram hesitantly asked. She had no doubt in Peach, but her eyes were focused on Black who was doing this for the first time. She was vastly outnumbered right now but she made a point not to confront the two that have eaten already. Rom got notably even smaller in Black's belly as her HDD turned off at the same time as Ram's.

Meanwhile, Maria recovered from her shock. She couldn't just give up!  She had to TRY and get out! She weakly kicked at the walls with... a surprising amount of force but it seemed to not put much of a dent in Peach if anything and Maria was... pretty vulnerable with all her companions outside of Peach. She was determined to show she was not willing to give up though. Genbu's shell was so weak it could not strive off Peach's belly as it shattered almost immediately. Okay, might be regretting her whole speech on feeling her message from earlier.

A confused and startled White fell over as she missed her mark, looking pretty dejected as she made a fool of herself in front of her peers. Great. She was the only one incompetent enough to fail. That burned.

iABKWNx6p_1d20 (White's Ice Coffin EX Dodge; Failure)
p_1d20 (White's Icecalibure Dodge; Success!)

...Or that might just be a ton of icy shards digging themselves into her body. That also burned! Arceus, that was mind-numbingly painful. The kind of pain that immediately put you into shock. She dodged the followup attack by sheer virtue of stumbling and falling over out of the way. And just like that, White was laid low by Ram. Tears quietly streamed down her face, though she successfully fought the urge to scream or sob. "--...Are you okay, White..?" Black asked in concern. "...Yeah..." White softly gasped out in response.

p_1d15+4 (Peach's Guardian Spirit Resistance; Damage reduced to 18%)

Meanwhile, Peach smiled in amusement at the little bumps and kicks as Maria squirmed in her new prison, giving her mid-section an affectionate little pat in response, which could be felt from within. It might not be... too hard to work out whose tummy this was, given that Peach wore a corset that only aided her muscles in hugging Maria tightly to her girlish figure. Both she and Rom could hear a heartbeat overhead--or underfoot if they were so unfortunate. "If you wish to be let out, all you must do iiis... call me mama~" Peach playfully remarked with a light little giggle, a thematically appropriate twist on the age-old 'say uncle' routine, perhaps. Hey look, a reference so old even Maria probably gets it! Peach would only let this mocking request go for a moment or two before correcting herself, though. "...Of course, I am only kidding. Though that would be quite appropriate to teach someone who actually did underestimate and belittle us a lesson, don't you think? Heehee~ ...I do--Eep!" Peach began, only wanting to draw Maria's attention to the display of power at hand and not really wanting to bully her. Peach covered her mouth and resisted the urge to cry out in pain as a rather violent distension of her belly nearly knocked her off balance. She felt very sick for a brief moment and her stomach groaned in protest, clearly upset, but she managed to hold Maria down regardless. Peach briefly glared down at her stomach, but quickly recomposed herself. It wasn't right to be mad. Even if that had hurt quite a bit. "Ow..." Peach softly lamented. "--I do hope you are impressed~ I know quite a few of my opponents were~! Please do let me know if things get a little too hot in there~ I would be happy to make things comfier and heal your wounds~" Peach eagerly went on to finish, soothingly giving her belly a little rub, which Maria could consequently feel along her back in the process.

Meanwhile, Black was rather goofily watching her own stomach with a curious expression on her face. She certainly didn't feel any struggling, and in fact she heard crying! That wasn't good... Time to switch roles! "--Oh, yeah! In fact, I'm going to use this opportunity to train myself for if I ever have to play the role of an expecting mom~!" Black replied, flashing Ram an encouraging thumbs up. She then turned her attention down to her midsection, placing one hand on her hip and giving her tummy an soothingly affectionate little rub with her other hand. "There there... Everything's going to be alright. You don't have to fight me, Rom~ You can just snuggle on in and get comfy in my tummy where you're nice and safe and aaaall the troubles of the world can't find you. Momma's gonna make sure you're safe and taken care of." Black sweetly cooed.  

p_1d20+5 (Black's Roleplay; She's channeling the spirit of a strong and loving mother! Her CON and CHA mods are boosted by +3 for 3 turns.)

" . . . I... I'm p-pretty sure that's not how moms work." Keldeo remarked, somewhat perturbed. "--Hmm... Nope! This is pretty much how it goes~!" Black light-heartedly replied with a little shrug. "...Y-You're supposed to lay an egg, and then it hatches into a person. I know how babies are made." Keldeo sorely went on to remark. Black giggled at his naivety. "Silly~ Human babies spend up to their first year in their mom's tummy." Black corrected, hugging her mid-section gently in demonstration. At this, Keldeo's jaw dropped and he just kinda stood there with a vacant look in his eyes. Keldeo.exe has crashed.

"If you are going to be taking care of Miss Rom, Black, perhaps it would be a good idea for you to know how to use your love to heal her." Peach suggested, gesturing for Black to watch her. She had decided to avoid answering Ram's question, not wanting to give her the honest answer that accidental digestion was entirely possible. Given how long that took, she was pretty confident she could stop it before anyone met their end if it came down to that. But if she weren't here--well... That would be a different story. Showering herself in magical pink hearts, Peach practiced some self-care in demonstration!

p_1d15+11 (Peach's Power Of Love @ Herself; Heals for 17%)

Meanwhile, her stomach was busy oppressing Maria and aiding in healing Peach using her current meal for nutrients.

((Peach deals 20% digestion damage to Maria, healing for 10%))

...Much better! Black observed this and nodded. "Good idea~ Hey White~?" she asked, going over to the taller trainer and bending over a bit to speak to her. She then realized she couldn't do this properly with a stomach quite so full and got down on her knees instead of trying to bend or crouch, tenderly hugging White. "...You make for a really cute damsel in distress." Black whispered into White's ear, complimenting her on all the acting she wasn't doing. 

p_1d15+8 (Black's Mimic [Power Of Love] @ White; Heals for 16%)

This thawed White out of her shock a bit, a tingling sensation rushing over her. She gave Black a testy look but decided not to question her choice of words. She got back up and gently hugged Black in gratitude, careful not to squish her midsection in the process. "...Thanks." White softly replied, turning to face Ram. "Looks like it's just you and me. ...I mean I think Black's too busy playing her character to fight and Princess Peach... would rather see me test my abilities myself. Isn't that right?" White remarked. "--...You are quite right, White~" Peach gently replied. It would be a lot easier to contain Maria if she didn't have to fight anyway. "...Alright." White replied, moving to rush Ram again! This time she plain old tackled her!

She then moved to expirementally booty slam Ram, sitting atop her if she succeeded!

"Huh? Why are you crying? Are you okay?" Ram was suddenly distracted by White breaking down in the middle of battle. She knew Ice Coffin was a powerful technique but it couldn't hurt THAT bad... Well, at least she never seen someone cry from it. There was those that seemed paralyzed by it? I mean, a ton of ice shards can't be that bad? Then again an attack like that would probably sting a ton if Rom and Ram did not wear Ice Element Resistant equipment... Um, should she heal her? They were in the middle of a fight so it did not seem like she should be the one too but it was kind of painful to watch.. Well until Rom's position went to distract her.

"..." Maria quietly looked up... What position was she even in come to think of it? Well, the heartbeat was above her so that gave some indication. There did not seem to be a clear cut exit. Man, was there no strategy against this technique? Best she can do is upset Peach's stomach from her guesses but she can't afford to do that too much... This technique was actually pretty powerful one. There was no way Maria could account for this. "... It's an impressive technique. I can't really think of many work around if any..." She debated giving up right now. Peach has her in a position there was little to nothing she could do. Her animal friends were out there and Guardian took time to recharge the energy to use it.

"... Expecting Mom?" Ram tilted her head in confusion at the kind of role that was. What did that even mean? She knew what a Mom was, she got heads of that from doing Guild work. What was she expecting though? Rom meanwhile was still sobbing, a bit confused. The rub above her got her attention though... Wait, that was below her. Same with that rhythmatic beating-.... Oh, she was upsidedown... She... didn't have to fight? But wasn't this situation dangerous? And didn't she have to help Ram?... "Receive love rather than give love" these words echoed back to Rom and with them she felt less inclined to fight now. This... this was training Ram benefitted from more than she did. She doubted Ram would mind too much if she gave up... "... Um, okay, Ms. Bla-" Rom began before correcting herself, deciding to help Black with her practice even if she did not understand. She shifted a bit, trying to get into a... position that was not face down before holding her hand out rather timidly. "M-Mom... I-I won't fight back anymore..." Rom relented, deciding to accept the love than.... literally fight it. Probably a good idea not to provoke the belly anyway.

"... Humans spend an entire year inside their Mom?! Me and Rom just kind of woke up in the Basilicom one day. How do you guys spend an entire year in a person's tummy?" Ram reacted in shock. Kind of easy to forget that they weren't human. Also Blanc and Mina were always oddly dismissive when it came to the subject come to think of it... Did she not think she could get this much?

.... Oh right, White. She was distracted by the other moments going on that she forgot the serious one... That seemed to happen a lot. "... Sounds good to me. I am good on practice still. Of course, that means you'll have to catch me~," Ram declared as she seemed to think a game of tag was in order.

However, before she could even turn around to run, she found herself tackled to the ground. Landing with a hard thud under White she looked up to see White come back down upon her with a booty drop, sitting on top of her. She went to push White off before noticing something... Huh, White was... really cute actually. And pretty. You would not think of it with her attire but she was probably the cutest girl Ram has seen come to think of it.... Wait, when did she start thinking that? Something was not right here?  "Your um... shorts are cute?" Ram awkwardly stated in confusion. What kind of girl wore shorts though? Were shorts just a fashion topic people did not like but Ram did?

... Wait, what if this was a form of Love Magic messing with her head? She could counteract it with something cute? Okay, let's see... Oh! Dogoos are cute! There are so many kinds too. Metal Dogoo, Pink Dogoo, Orange Dogoo, Healing Dogoo, Big Dogoos, King Dogoos. There seems to be a few types she's forgetting...

"Yes, Ram, focus on my brilliant Pectorals! They will guide you away from this girl's vile curse of love!"

AAAAAAAAAAA! Nevermind! Nevermind! Focusing on White again! Maybe she could do that too with love magic! Okay, she just had to focus on those close to her like last time. Like Rom, Blanc-... Wait, why was her heart barely forming? Was it because she was thinking of White? As she thought that the heart turned white and suddenly burst... It was not strong at all due to how distracted Ram was but it held enough love to still inflict it upon White. "Th-This isn't working! P-please get off! Explosion!" Ram declared nervously, a lot more flustered than she usually is as an intense explosion rang out from Ram.... It held a bit of hesitance to go all out but it probably had enough force to push her away. However, what the two might not notice was the cat stalking towards the two... Well, her friends were still on the outside but they did not seem intent to help Ram while Maria was contained. Except for that blasted cat. Byakko leapt like lightning to try and blindside White and nab Perry from the girl before bringing it Ram's hands... Cat, that was a risky move for both parties. Who's side are you on? Do you want the tables flipped or helping the table stand back upright? It's always hard to tell with cats...

"...." Maria pondered if fighting back was really a good idea at this point. She was not exactly in the best position to argue... She tried her hardest with a strong push but with her magic at it's current state it won't be much better than that. The attack would probably not even begin to free her and the belly would just continue to drain away at her... Though she appeared to struggle she knew it'd probably be futile.

You wouldn't think less of me if I actually went with your earlier offer? Crying "mama", right?" Maria reluctantly brought up, figuring it probably better she stopped pushing her luck now and agitating Peach's Belly.

".... Guess it really is just you and me, huh?" Ram noted. Could she even put up a fight like this or would it just result to frozen sissy slaps?... Regardless of how she felt, she was supposed to be helping with White's training so she can learn too!

Black giggled light-heartedly, placing a hand to where she felt Rom's hand from within. She liked this girl! "That's okay. You did a good job! Now it's time to let me take care of you." Black light-heartedly replied. White gawked a bit. Wow, it had taken no time at all for Black to convince Rom to play along and call her Mom. She was ... stunned, but Black did have that charming do-anything attitude to her. People really seemed to like her. " . . . Thanks~! I wear them every day." White light-heartedly replied, completely ignoring how dorky Ram's remark was. She was having a bit of fun just kinda ... sitting on Ram since that was apparently working. A rather strong explosion from underneath her bounced her back to her feet, flustering her a bit in the process.

Peach's stomach squished and squelched Maria's efforts to free herself, possessively working at her to drain her strength away!

((Peach does 30% digestion damage to Maria, healing herself for 15%))

Peach giggled. "You are more than welcome to call me that if you'd like~!" Peach light-heartedly replied. "I would never look down on you for being open about your feelings. Being more open like that is one of the things I like about spending time with other girls~! Plus, a lot of people lost their mothers when they came here to Li~ If calling me 'Mama' would help them feel any better, ...I think I can live with that~" Peach went on to reply.

Meanwhile, White suddenly had Perry yanked out of her hands! "Oops~! Here I go again~!" Perry light-heartedly remarked as he switched hands. Today was going to be one of those days. Y'know the ones where he was objectified ...and also probably made to do things he didn't want to, though he hadn't quite worked that one out for himself yet. Whitequirked a brow at Ram. ...Hey, what're you gonna do with that there parasol? ...Gonna shield yourself from some rain? Gonna... use it to perry an attack? "Alright... I've got this. I just need another good attempt and I'll have completed my basic training." White mused aloud, pumping herself up. "Keldeo, give White a pretty backdrop!" Black encouraged. Keldeo seemed to sluggishly snap out of his horrified state, turning his head and firing off a rainbow beam that created an aurora behind White! It ... Well, all it really did was look pretty, lingering for just a moment as White struck a power pose.

"Th-Thank you Mom... I didn't really last that long but... I'm happy you think I did well. Please do..." Rom shyly said as she seemed to get more comfortably talking to Black... Despite the incredibly weird and pretty icky situation.... Geeze, Rom, you almost never get used to people this fast. You'd almost think you like this situation. Nah, that was just plain silly... There was no way someone would enjoy being in a girl's tummy.

"Wh-what?!" Maria blurted out inside Peach at her comments. "N-no! That isn't what I meant at all! I was going for your Cry Uncle thing. I am not ready to even consider another adoption when I still have my brother... That is to say, I can't fight back much longer without completely ruining my attire or fear of harming anything. I give up. Feel free to... turn down the heat as it was..." Maria requested, her face bright red... even without taking the heat into consideration.

Ram meanwhile stared in bewilderment as she got to her feet and the white cat handed her Perry. "... Hi,  Perry, sorry about you being passed around like this... Maria! Why is Byakko handing this to me?!" she called towards Peach. "... How am I supposed to know? Not exactly in a position to give orders. I don't know why he's doing that," she replied, just kind of sitting back, hoping for mercy while she was salvageable. She was still recovering though as she was easily grabbed by White, Ram finding herself facefirst against the taller girl's hug as she had little room to dodge. This clouded her head a bit more but she tried her best to resist White's charm.

Ram shook her head as Perry was yanked from her and gave a yelp at the Love Magic being blasted into her. This however helped her break free and realize White was not THAT cute... Still kind of but not distractingly so. Thankfully she did not have a thing for shorts... Yeah, she was stronger than Rom but not strong enough to break out of this. Well, she only had a few ideas left... And none helped escape the problem. "... You caught me~! Good work, White. Guess this means all you need to do is finish up the first step," She said as she wrapped her arms around White, seeming to return the hug... Until White might notice her trying to use the fact they were so close to freeze her hands and literally chill her spine.

"So, how about it~? Ready to finish this up?" Ram asked, seeming to resign herself to the probable last step. Well, that is unless you pay attention to her mischievious smirk like she was planning something. A green energy flowed through her body, healing her up a little bit. She seemed to have a fairly good idea what White needed to do but at the same time, her expectations can easily be ruined. She preferred physical activity over smart things like Rom.

"Our battle was short and sweet~ Some of the nicest things come in small packages, you know! Like pokemon! Or friends~" Black replied, affectionately patting Rom through her belly. She would've given her a hug, but well... She was already kinda doing that from every direction. A gentle squeeze of her abdominal muscles would achieve a similar effect. "It might have been a short moment in time, but it really made my race with excitement! Can you feel it?" Black remarked rather light-heartedly, giving Rom a moment to listen to the steady thumping just above her. "...I'm glad we could share it together." she went on to affectionately coo, all too happy to love on her internal companion.

Meanwhile, Peach partially stifled a chuckle in response to Maria's reaction, only to abruptly realize something and stop. "...Pardon me, but did you say ...'Another' adoption?" Peach hesitantly asked, a note of concern in her voice. She got the impression that there was more to this than the average tale of being orphaned when one came to Li. Little pink hearts began to expand into existence around Maria, soothing her pain and disrupting the natural course of digestion.

White furrowed her brows slightly at Ram. "...You're weirdly accepting of this." White remarked rather suspiciously, only to grimace as a rather painful icy attack raced up her arms. ...Oh, so that was Ram's plan was it? She leered slightly, but refused to let go. It was just ice, after all! ...It couldn't actually make her. Taking a deep breath, she lifted Ram slightly and slipped Perry underneath her. "Welp. In you go!" she leisurely remarked, giving Ram a nice firm shove into Perry's canopy, which resulted in her mid-section ballooning rather comically for a moment as she hit the inside of White's stomach. White emitted a little squeak of surprise at the sensation, getting back up and looking herself over. "...Wow! You fit in there pretty well! Like two pieces of a puzzle." White remarked, giving her belly a little pat. Phew! She did it. Now she didn't feel like such a screwup. Leaning over slightly to get a better look, Black found something odd about what she saw. "--Wow, White! Your shirt didn't pull up at all." Black mused aloud, bewildered by the implausible properties of White's clothes. "--Huh? Oh this isn't a shirt." White replied. "--It isn't??" Black replied. "Nope~ It's a mini dress! I'm just tucking it into my shorts." White replied. "--Wooow~"
