[b] Shio [/b]

Shio took her position a solid forty feet away from Kasumi's initial location. It was a very standard start for most Natrelmon battles. Her Kujaku was her chosen Natrelmon and was in position 3 feet in front of her, about 4 feet off the ground. There was significant challenge in dealing with Kasumi, given her now noted abilities as a hydromancer. It almost dictated that Shio engage on the Mythin, rather than her more normal tactic of dealing with the trainer herself. Thankfully, Shio knew she had the advantage due the her opponent's Natrelmon being the first stage, rather than an evolved form, which would have given her a lot of difficulty with its variable typing.

Without any motion or vocalization from her, Shio commanded her Kujaku to begin on a right arc around the mist, moving only slightly closer to the mist. Shio had the advantage in the aspect that Shio was unable to sense Kasumi providing she remained still. However, for the Natrelmon, that wouldn't be the case and there were methods of sensing that. It would be easier, however, if she could remove the Mythin from the confines of the mist.
