The Blaziken let out a deep sigh, letting the air flow around her form. The cold air almost seemed to steam at the touch of the Blazikens feathers, as she gave one look back at the closing portal behind her. As it shut completely, she let out another sigh, her hot breath flowing from her mouth, steam puffing out into the frigid air around her.

She had asked Shade to place her here, making sure the portal was the RIGHT one before going through it of course. Being placed on a frigid mountain pass, the world well below 0 in terms of temp no matter what system you use. The frigid air was cold to the point that even she almost felt it...but that was the point of all this.

She almost felt it.

And she gave a smirk, as she put herself into a combat stance. She would be here for the next six hours or so, or longer, depending on what Shade got caught up into between now and then. She wasn’t too particular, so long as she wasn’t left here for days on end she wouldn’t be too upset...though even if she was she would call it even better training than what she was going for. She knew she was strong now...very strong, but not impregnable. She still had a few weaknesses, and while working on them wasn’t the most easy task, she knew she could at least work her body more. She might have to do ‘other things’ to sure up those weaknesses, but for now, she’d make sure her body as a whole was still as strong as she remembered it.

She started off with a few punches, and a few kicks. Going through a form she’d memorized and done countless times before, her legs flowing in circles across the ice, claws digging into the hard solid as she slid around it’s surface with expertise and grace. She smiled, doing a few jump kicks, before jumping down to do a few push ups, her hands impacting the ice and cracking it in a few places, snow scattering in steamy puffs as her body began to heat up all the more. She puffed steaming breath after steaming breath, the white puffs flowing up around her as she jumped up from that exercise into a few jumping jacks. She would do a large set of them, before flying back into kicks, now jumping and spinning and flowing around at a growing pace of speed. Her body working itself up more and more, the snow falling on her person immediately puffing into steam as she began to huff more heavily as she went. She jumped into the air, before nearly disappearing, seeming to blink a short distance away with a piercing looking strike with her talons and beak, before landing, her muscles bulging outward as she let out a loud cry into the cold air, before she threw herself forward.

Her entire body ignited, flowing into a ball of fire as she jumped into the air, before impacting down onto the ice below her. The world around her exploded into snow and steam, but she didn’t stop. She kept throwing in punches, kicks, slamming her legs down into the ground. Her muscles were puffing out more, but she wasn’t mega evolving. No, she needed her base form to be powerful, to be strong, to be resilient. She needed to be able to take hits, even there, and not immediately fold. That was why she was here, to push herself forward, to get the power she needed.

So she trained, further, and harder. More punches, more kicks, fire flowing around her form, with the world nothing but a cloud of steam. Push ups, crunches, sit ups, leg bends. She did it all, with any contact with the ice below only forming more and more steam as she pushed harder and harder. She was fortunate her clothing was made to withstand her max output of flame, as she pushed to go even further beyond it, and pushed her body to take even more than she had before.

She continued this, for nearly an hour's length, pounding, fisting, kicking. Ice flying, snow evaporating, before eventually, it all came to a close. The world slowly was allowed to come back into focus, the steam around her settling, until all that was left was snow. And Bulda continued to puff heavily, breathing in the frigid air, feeling it enter her lungs. It almost burned, or, maybe it did. Everything burned though, which is exactly how she liked it. As she raised her arms once again, grined, and sent a flame kick arching up from her standing position. The fire burst out in front of her, showing how the ice and snow around her had melted and re-freezed into a clear sheen of blue ice. The temp cold enough to keep it frozen, except whenever this Blaziken stood upon it. And she chuckled, as the flame burst and flew a little bit in front of her, her standing with her leg up for a few moments more, before letting it fall back onto the ice, as she continued to puff and breath heavily, but smiled as well.

“Alright...that was set one.” She stated softly to herself, before she began the process all over again. With the steam bursting up once more, deep within the mountained tundra.

Bulda Updated Ability/Move set:

Ability: Speed Boost
Moves:
Flare Blitz (I also use this slot to encompass Blaze Kick and Fire Punch as well, because A. if a user can encampse their entire body in flame, they can do a single part of it, and B. only having four moves is just a game based restriction anyway, but I like keeping it to that roughly anyway to have ‘flavor’ and to show growth).
Reversal
Bulk Up (if one notices tickle is a move and it lowers the attack and defense stat of the target by one stage each…)
Aerial Ace

Have had this thought in my head for a while, having Bulda training on a snowy tundra. Some might know the image that made that idea pop into my head, but I decided this one would be a bit more training based and a good bit less suggestive >//> (that's for later, pfeheh). This one is technically going to be set in the time line after the next few events for this here bird, but I figured I wanted to get it out the door regardless.  DemalyxDragon Really did a delightful job with this one ; v ; feel she did a great job with the background especially, with the tight training clothing on Bulda shinning from her flames along with parts of her own feathered body. Really think she turned out looking super nice ; v ; and really do think this form of Bulda is hear to stay for a while. She's doing her best to figure things out, and making sure to keep up her training as she does it.
