O~hoho-hoho~! O~hoho-hoho-hoho~! Who said anything about you defeating me? Peasants of your caliber are best served providing entertainment for my amusement. O~hoho-hoho~!
Melaine brought a hand to her side after finishing her taunt, extending it toward Riz as she slowly floated sideways, almost as if presenting Riz to Chloe.
If your cowardice proves true, young peasant girl, and you wish not to face me after all, then I shall see you in another light; as the entertainment I so mentioned! It befits your lowly station to serve your superiors after all.
Continuing, Melaine looked to Riz.
Nonpareil, your flustered nature amused me in equal parts to the disappointment it stirred in me. Such a casual mistake from one I judge and rate so highly; it befits not your station! Redeem yourself in this very moment and do battle with this young girl. You alone should be sufficient to wholly showcase her capabilities so identified by my Sauvegarde.
Riz nodded, regaining her confident smile as she stepped forward.
Understood, Majesty. I shall prepare my Pokemo-
Nay! Nonpareil, your abilities failed you. This redemption will be of you versus them. Yourself. Surely one of my Nonpareil, who have been gifted with power unrivaled, can effortlessly handle the pathetic attempts of a little peasant girl who has developed an unfitting case of cowardice!
With a bit of a grimace, Riz stepped forward in front of Melaine and Aerys, readying her staff as she took a bow.
Understood, Majesty. My apologies to you, Chloe, I will make this as painless as it will be swift. Let us both be satisfied with the result.
Riz prepared herself by assuming a combat-ready stance with her staff in hand.
Oh, and one more thing! The peasant's friend, and that good-for-nothing we call Diamond, are both permitted to join the little peasant girl in her bout against Riz! Riz is strong enough to prove a suitable challenge for all three of you, after all. The three of you may even use your Pokemon if you so wish. It may just prove to make it more intriguing a show! O~hoho~! O~hoho-hoho~!
Riz's confident, yet soft, smile returned as her staff glowed with a violet aura. It seemed this was where the actual battle to be had would begin.
