Not even a second passed before Olivie almost fell over.  So light and lithe was her knew form that every action she took went faster than she anticipated, but even as she staggered and steadied herself over the course of a few moments, she could feel the changes sinking in.  Her mind adjusted at a remarkable rate.  The moment of relaxation allowed her a chance to witness the final phases of her acquaintances' own changes.  In Ella's place, a tentacled monstrosity that did not give so much as a hint of humanity now floated, and Leisy had shrunk down into a minuscule being of what looked like origami.  Olivie flinched, backing away.  A dispassionate look crossed her new, wide-eyed face.  [i][color=954535]”Yech!  Just what you'd expect of losers--a jellyfish and a piece of paper.  This is all your fault.  If Barnie was with us when we came, we'd be able to beat this thing.”[/color][/i]  A pointed, azure-blue glare swept over both Leisy and Ella, but she couldn't even tell where their faces were.  Conflicting thoughts swirled in her head.  So much strength filled her limbs that she could hardly bear to stay still, just as one could barely keep themselves from moving when filled with hype.  However, the two looked so stupid and [i]unclean[/i] that she could find almost no desire to hit them at all, no matter how much they deserved to be punished.

The noise of feet against the ground caught her attention.  In from the left sprinted a [url=http://www.bogleech.com/pokemon/allpokes/druddigontcg2]blue-scaled reptile[/url], its pink head awash in flame and its eyes narrow slights of gleeful eagerness.  Olivie started to move, and in stunning feat of unnatural acceleration skidded to a halt a few feet behind the druddigon a split second later.  Confounded, the dragon turned to attack, but Olivie had already lunged for him.  She struck him across the jaw with her slim golden knuckles, and the force of the blow caused his head to whip around the other way.  Filled with energy, Olivie attacked again, delivering a brutally swift Triple Kick that bowled her enemy over.  As he sprawled on the ground, still not sure what hit him, Olivie dashed to his side and raised her leg to Stomp down on his face.  The next second, she turned around in a flash to see who else wanted some.  More pokemon were on their way; evidently, the members of the grand free-for-all had realized that a few more opponents were hiding on the sidelines like cowards.  The first to attack, an Octillery, stopped at a safe range before unloading shells of water from her cannon-shaped mouth.  With exceedingly little trouble, Olivie dodged past them all and closed the distance in only a handful of seconds.  She planted a foot right in the cephalopod's cheek and shoved, sending the Octillery flopping end over end like a half-inflated balloon.

Darkrai's smug satisfaction could be heard in its voice as it murmured, [i][b]”Yes, give it all you've got!Show them all that nobody can mess with you—that you're the toughest there is!  I can see your desires...you want to be so strong that all will respect you and look up to you.  This is the place where you will prove your strength, and where everyone else, too busy and selfish in their daily lives, will give you what you deserve!”[/b][/i]

Its gaze had already shifted to Ella and Leisy.  it wondered what it was they wanted to prove, but it suspected it wouldn't have to wait long to find out.
