Not So Friendly Competition

[Dreamer]

Over the grassy plains, into a meadow with green grass, charred at the bottom due to the flaming body that moved swiftly through it, not paying attention to what her flaming calves touched. Gray hooves padded the grassy plain, forcing the small horse pokemon forward at a deathdefying pace. She was going over 80 mph, with her eyes closed...not the best idea probably. Her mind was focused on other things, focused on an imaginary race, a race she was winning of course. She imagined a horn on her head, her blue flames longer and wider, and her torso more muscled, the body of a rapidash. The ponyta's legs moved in rythym to her stuttering heart. Her flaming tail whipped in the wind, some castaway sparks settling in the grassy meadow. A wild grin spread across the Ponyta's muzzle as she felt the flames near her hooves lick her underside.

Their wasn't any other thing that the Ponyta enjoyed more than running. It was indeed her favorite pasttime, her only pasttime ever since those bully rapidash kicked her out of the herd. The ponyta grimaced at the memory, and accelerated, pushing herself further and further into the vast meadow. She thought about stopping near a large pile of grass, she needed some food in her system after all, but the ponyta did not stop. She continued her sprint, circling around the edge of the terrain and pushing herself towards the middle again.

She didn't stop until she repeated her course three times, finally breathless enough to force herself to eat. She filled her belly with the dry grass, its flavor still on her tongue as soon as she settled down under a shady tree. The ponyta could feel her energy returning, and she was itching for a race. A real race this time. Scanning her surroundings, she found that the vast meadow was eerily barren of normal pokemon. She could detect sunkern and beautifly, but no racing partners...sighing, she set herself down, muscles throbbing from her last sprint. They too wanted to run again..

(Forgive the crap...its morning...I don't like mornings >:[)

A pair of Mighteyena walked into the area with a purpose. The female seemed to be leadsing, as though taking the male somewhere. However when she spotted the Ponyta she lowered herself to the ground in a threat, tail held high to show authority and growled. "State your business!" she barked.

A Ponyta in her territory, now this couldn't be allowed. A prey animal anyone, though too big for a Mighteyena normally, Jetix could probably take her down.

(I look terrible compared to you)

Hearing the voice made the instinctive alarm run through the ponyta's spine. Her fiery mane blew in the light breeze, causing bits of it to escape from the main flame and blow in the wind, before quickly disappearing, leaving nothing but warm air. The ponyta's long neck cocked in the direction of the voice. Coal-black eyes scanned what looked to be a four-legged creature, with canine features. The ponyta had never seen a beast that looked that meneacing before. Her breathing came in rapid gasps, no longer due to the exhaustion that had come from her sprint. The ponyta's muscles tingled with adrenaline. Now would be the time to run...but wouldn't that just cause the beast to run after her? Putting on a brave face, the ponyta stood and answered the creature's demand.

"I-i'm just passing by. This meadow is so open and beautiful. I just had to test how fast I could go around it. You see, my name is Shade...and I got kicked out of my herd because I was apparently being to arrogant and shallow...it didn't work well with the elders. So I'll just be going on my way...didn't mean to um..bother you..."

The ponyta could sense that things would not go as she planned..would she have to fight for her life? Or...maybe...an Idea illuminated brightly in her mind. If things didn't turn out well...this idea was the best alternative..

(Nonsense xP)

(Yeah, my posts are pretty short with Jetix, I haven't got as much muse for her as with Zilla and Rayzor)

Jetix' eyes flashed dangerously but a flicker of compassion also ran through her. This poor Ponyta had been kicked out of its herd. She couldn't fight it it was on its own and it wasn't causing a problem yet. Jetix lost her anger and stood up straight. "Make sure to keep out of my territory but the rest of the Meadow is yours to do what you wish," she said, not smiling but not shouting which was good enough really.

The ponyta was surprised by the canine's show of hospitality. She definately thought that she would have to fight her way out of this. Relief watched through her, her muscles instantly relaxing. She looked up at the dog pokemon again, this time with reluctant determination. The ponyta wasn't normally like this, her normal arrogant self had been swallowed by the fear that held her now. She bit her lip and stood up with caution before answering the creature's question.
"Thank you. I appreciate you kindness towards me. But the meadow holds no fun when you venture it alone. You see...the reason I was out here in the first place was because I just wanted to compete in a running race. But I understand if you don't believe you can run as fast as me.."
The ponyta accidentally let that one slip, not knowing that it was actually an insult, she began to saunter over to the other reaches in the plains.

(Same. I only have muse with Titan...Hope you don't mind that Shade just called Jetix slow xD)

(XD Oh no, Jetix loves a challenge!)

"Oh yeah?" said Jetix, playfully. "You think you're fast do ya? Lets see then." jetix instantly knew she had an advantage. She live here and knew every dip and lump in the Meadows surface, and her oaws were adjusted to run on this sort of terrain, her whole body made for sprints to catch her prey, creatures like the Ponyta in front of her. Though a lone Mighteyena probably wouldn't attempt to kill without a pack, it could still easily keep up.
