A week has passed since the Sky-Blue Buneary hatched from her egg. During the past week, Cotton gave her the Soothe Bell she stopped wearing and then wore again up until her hatching. She was just as playful, happy and energetic as her mother was when she was her age. She loved playing with Vincent like an uncle and she was just as affectionate to him as Cotton was to Napoleon when they were kids. In fact, there was only one difference between her and Cotton.

She couldn't admit her crush on Vincent. She always called him Uncle Vinnie, but she had so many reasons to like him as more than such. She wants to tell him, but is too afraid, like he is afraid of the dark.

The day finally came when she has her first match. She had to go against Scratch for age reasons. They chose to do it somewhere in front of the Ranch House, where anyone can watch and make sure everything's fine. Vincent and Cotton stayed behind her before the match started. They made sure she was ready for him, especially after going through Napoleon's training. She seemed scared; like she knew she wouldn't stand a chance.

"Its okay, Melody, it's only your first match," Cotton said trying to comfort her.
"Yeah, Melody," Vincent said with his paw on her back, "and besides, you'll do great. We all know how hard Napoleon pushes you, it'll be no problem."
"You…you really think so?" she asked with a scared, yet, hopeful look.
"We know so, and don't worry; we'll be here if anything goes wrong," he said putting the paw on her head to pat her.

She blushed as he patted her. He truly believed in her, and she could see it in his eyes. Before she went on for the fight, she hugged her mother and gave Vincent a quick-kiss on his cheek for luck.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Scratch warmed up a little for his match, despite being just a little girl. Sibelius and Ross were on his side to make sure he doesn't go too far.

"Just remember, Scratch, it's her first time, so take it easy on her, okay?" Ross asked.
"Yeah, dude, you don't wanna hurt a cutie like that do you?" Sibelius asked to egg him on.
"Yeah, she is cute," Scratch said with a grin, blushing a little, "but a match is a match, right? She's gotta toughen up too."
"Dude, c'mon. You don't wanna beat the heck outta NAPOLEON's daughter, do you?" Sibelius asked, pointing at him, being the rule reviewer for the match.
Scratch hesitated for a second.
"Sibelius, he's got more control than that. He knows he can't hit children outside a match," Ross pointed out, a little agitated.
"Really? Well that's a relief," Scratch said, losing his worries.
"You still need to take it easy on her, alright?" Ross asked.
"Yeah, okay. I'm gonna win anyway," Scratch said with an arrogant look.
"Scratch that's not sportsmanship! Show her more respect," Ross said with a furious look.
"Okay, okay, sorry!" Scratch said with a flinched look.

They both walked up to Napoleon. Jenna and the other four went outside the field to watch. Veruka, Rupert and Saria came by to watch as well. Napoleon reviewed the basic rules with them before the match started. Afterwards, he faced Jenna and waved her over so she could call the match. They switched places and Napoleon headed to Melody's side to cheer her on along with Vincent and Cotton.

"This is between Melody and Scratch. Let the match…begin!"Jenna called out in human language.

Scratch immediately used his favorite move, hence his name. Melody barely dodged and used Pound straight to his forehead.

"Oh, yeah, well how about this?!" Scratch thought.
He uses Spark to stun her.
"Oh no, she's already paralyzed!" thought both Vincent and Cotton.

Scratch uses his chance and uses Quick Attack to knock her down. She gets hit, lands on her side and struggles out of her paralysis.

"Come on, Melody! You got this!" yelled out Napoleon, trying to motivate her.

She manages to get up and uses Rain Dance to gain a little edge. It starts sprinkling as Scratch gets confused as to why she would make it rain on a Lightning Type. As he looked up in the sky, she takes this chance, charges to him and uses Sky Uppercut at his chin.

"Sky Uppercut?" Cotton wondered.
"I squeezed in a little time to teach her that," Vincent told her.

Scratch gets hit and falls to his back. He gets up, obviously aware that she isn't a regular rookie. He starts taking her seriously.

"Alright, dodge this!" Scratch yelled, charging himself.

He uses Shock Wave to cease her at sight. She still manages to move and tries another Sky Uppercut. He dodges, finds an opening and uses Scratch on her. He hits and she lands on her head. She tumbles over and lands flat on her stomach.

"Oh no, Melody!" Cotton yelled as she panicked.
"C'mon Melody, you can do it!" Vincent cheered.
"Yeah, Melody, c'mon and get up!" Napoleon yelled.
"Scratch, what are you doing?!" thought Ross.
"C'mon, Scratch, take it easy!" Sibelius yelled.

Saria also started to worry. She didn't want a little girl to get beat so badly. Veruka and Rupert were practically thinking the same thing.

She struggled madly to get up, like a boxer rushing to in a 10 second period. Scratch only watched as she tried so hard to keep going. He felt kind of sorry seeing such a cute girl beat up from his cause. Once she got up, she started to tear in pain. She didn't yell, but she certainly cried. No one could hear her, but they knew just by looking at the tears rolling down her cheeks. The worst part was they could tell it wasn't Fake Tears.

Jenna started to worry. She knelt down to her to see if she was okay.
"Melody? Do you still want to keep going?" Jenna asked in human language.

She tried to stop crying as she nodded yes. She didn't want to disappoint Napoleon, especially not in front of her crush.

"That's my girl," thought Napoleon, looking proud of him.

She started to just stand there, completely paralyzed from all the Lightning damage. Scratch hesitated at first, almost worried if she was okay. He quickly snaps out of it and charges in to use Scratch, assuming it will finish her off.

"It's over, you lose!" he thought as he charged to her.

Just as he was about to hit her, she quickly caught it with both front paws, crouched down and used Sky Uppercut at his chin once more. He fell to his back, completely shocked that she was still able to move after so much damage.

All of a sudden, it stopped sprinkling and started to get windy. Slowly, the wind got heavier and heavier. Everyone felt the pressure and crouched down a little to stay put. Everyone held down any dangling body parts and Veruka covered her flame to keep from going out. Jenna held on to her hat as she saw where the wind was being concentrated to.

Melody's sky blue fur started to glow as a small Whirlwind formed around her. She stopped crying and started to Growl at Scratch. His attack shrunk a little as he grew scared of what was happening to her. How is she causing all this wind? How does she know Whirlwind?

The Whirlwind disappeared, but the wind sure didn't. Using the wind, she jumped high in the air, high enough to reach the Celadon Department Store. Scratch was too shocked at the sudden change of power to think about using Shock Wave. Immediately, Melody uses the wind to fly in a loop and straight forward to Scratch like a comet. Before Scratch could react to do anything, Melody uses Bounce right on his head, which beams him straight to one of the trees and made it crack. She immediately landed for one of the trees and used Bounce once more before he could get up. The tree made a bigger crack, so much bigger that Scratch fell unconscious as Melody landed on the same spot she stood before the match started.

She breathed heavily as the wind slowly disappeared. She stared at Scratch unconscious as everyone else just gazed in shock at what they just saw. Not only did Melody win, but she used a technique she still shouldn't know for a long time. The most shocking of all was her ability to manipulate the wind around her.

As they all continued to gaze, Melody struggled to stand after using so much power. She stared at Scratch as he laid there in defeat.

"No Scratch, you lose," she thought to herself, just before she fell unconscious as well.
You all probably saw that victory coming. Nobody likes seeing a little girl beat up anyway.

So there you go, she has her first battle and she was pretty good without the Sky Plate. It kind of makes you think how strong she'll be at her prime. That would be scary, as Veruka!

Also, about her crush on Vincent, I just had to add that. We all know how adorable and cute he is, so it had to be done. I do feel kinda sad that i gave her a phobia of telling him.

Edit Alert: I took out some of the details about Melody's week with Vincent. I plan to save those for separate deviations based on those first days of her life.
