That One Snowy Summer

First topic message reminder :

Jack sat solemnly on the roof of his house in the early morning, his Horsea partner hovering next to him. It was still dark and he watched her, playing with the temperature around her and trying to find the one she found easiest to move through. Mizuryu had two fins, rather than the average one fin you would find that a Horsea had. Jack had always wondered why, but had never said anything to his Pokemon. He didn't mind though, it helped her swim and float in the air better than any other Horsea he knew, so it was a major plus point in the end.

He blinked as the Horsea blew a short Bubblebeam move at him to catch his attention. Smiling he looked at her.
"Best one?" he asked, Mizu nodding in reply.
"Awesome," he grinned before flopping down onto the roof. He had all these awesome powers that Kyurem had granted him, but there was only a limited amount of things he could do with them without it seeming suspicious. Summer after all, was the time of the year when the temperature was at it's hottest. To leave remnants of snow and ice around was to basically shout to the world that something weird was going on.

Despite these thoughts, he knew how much he wanted to test out these new abilities. Heck, he wanted to make it snow. Snow was so much more fun than the searing heat that summer brought with it. Jack sat up and glanced around. It was still dark, so no one was up yet. What if he did make it snow? No one could possibly know it was him. No one that is.. except Kyurem, Mizu and perhaps the other guardians that Kyurem had briefly mentioned. Everyone loved a bit of snow, so why not?

"Heh, Mizu. What would you say to a bit more snow around here?" he asked. The Horsea knew she should probably be trying to convince Jack not to make it snow.. but heck, she loved snow too. It was a benefit of not yet having official Dragon typing. You could enjoy a bit of snow and ice without worrying that Ice type Pokemon were going to come around, like they did in winter.

Jack chuckled at his Pokemon's indecisiveness. "I guess that settles it then... one day can't hurt. Surely?"
From his seat on the roof, he picked up his staff and got up to his feet.
"Alright then, lets see what happens!" he grinned. After he was done, he climbed down and snuck back into his bedroom, using the window so he didn't wake the adults of the house by opening the front door. There were remnants of the still falling snow on his cloak, but he ignored them in favour of catching some shuteye before the whole village woke up.

Time skip til morning~

Mausumi dodged the snowball this time expecting the attack. Snow was amazing and kept things intresting. After all, without snow (well in the winter at least XD) the world couldn't be reborn, or rest up. And well snow just to be honest, just made life more intresting. "That sounds awesome!" Mausumi grinned. "Well as long as it's frozen enough I mean. Might as well enjoy the cold weather while it lasts!"

Jack grinned, "I'm sure it will be. We should bring some of the younger kids and teach them to ice skate!"
He laughed, still grinning at the idea before dashing off to see whose parents would allow them to go to the lake.
"I'll meet you there, Mouse!" he grinned, waving as he ran off.

A few minutes later, Jack had gotten quite a few kids interested, and even some of the adults in the village decided to pull out their skates and join them. After all, it wasn't every day it snowed during the summer. Still barefoot, Jack had ran home to grab his own pair of skates before charging off towards the lake. He sped past a few parents with their children, slowly heading towards the lake and he waved to them, his skates tied to the hooked end of his staff, which was in turn slung over his shoulder.

Mausumi grinned, and agreed, "I think I might want to put Rhythmi inside, but I'll take anyone that wants to come as well!" Mausumi waved back to Jack and dashed to her neighborhood.

At around the same time she brought some kids, teens and a single adult that wanted to chapareone she thought that he wanted to join the the fun to be honest with her skates around her neck, and with her small herd of people, minus one Dratini, she headed to the lake, and she saw Jack, "Hey Bunny that was an amazing idea!" She smiled, then dashed to the lake.

Jack looked up from touching the edge of the lake with his staff as Mausumi arrived. He had just been making sure that the ice was thick enough by freezing a few more layers over the top.
"Ice seems thick enough," he grinned, "Looks like it'll be fun!"

With that, he untied his skates from his staff and put them and some socks on. He chuckled, glad he had brought the socks for he had realised he still didn't have any shoes on. After he did a few test laps of the lake, the adults seemed to be satisfied that the ice was thick enough for their kids to ice skate on. Jack helped a few of the younger ones get their skates on and tie the laces before edging them onto the ice, attempting to teach them how to ice skate.

A few minutes later, he was happily skating along with a small group in tow. He was in his element on the ice, easily skating and out maneuvering everyone with little effort. He caught sight of Mausumi again and along with the group of children, skated over to her.
"Hey Mouse!" he grinned doing a little lap around her. He still had his staff with him, some of the kids holding onto the end whilst he gently pulled them along. They seemed to be enjoying themselves at least, giggling at some of Jack's antics.

Mausumi smiled. "That's great! Usually it takes a day or two to freeze over enough, but since it's snowing in summer, anything is possible!" she carefully put down her skates into the snow. Once Jack tested the lake to be fully sure it was really ice-skateable, she ran off to help the children. Once she finished helping to tie the third child's skates, she went over to find that Jack already finished tying the rest of the children's shoes, and was leading them onto the ice.
"Well then, go with your friends." She grinned, guiding the three children which were wobbling toward's the group. Mausumi quickly ran, grabbed her ice-skates, and tied them up in record speed, before gliding onto the ice with everyone else.

Mausumi wasn't definitely the best ice skater (Jack can get all the merits for that title), but she did know one thing or another about the skill. When Jack skated up to her with all the children giggling, She smiled again. "Hey Bunny!" Mausumi slowly skated away from harms length (the trick could fail, and she didn't want to harm the children), before picking up some speed. Once she was warmed up, she slowed down, before skating backwards. After several moments, she stoped skating and simply glided, and she moved sideways. Suddenly she turned until she was facing where she was looking at, and bent her right leg, kicking with her left. Mausumi felt the sensation of being airborne, quickly folding her arms in, and she spun 1.5 rotations, before landing. "And that kids is called the Axel Jump." She grinned.

(P.S. Sorry for posting so late)
(P.P.S. I never ice skated before, much less done any jumps, so excuse me if the Axel jump is done differently. I just described what I watched)

(I've never done any jumping or anything either though I have been ice skating |D)

Jack grinned at the movement, drawing his staff in close so that he could clap. The children giggled as they watched, the ones whose hands were free also clapping along with Jack.
"I wish more people in the village could ice skate like that," he smiled. Most others were content to just skate along the outside of the lake, whereas Jack always preferred to try maneuvers such as the Axel Jump that Mausumi had just demonstrated.

Handing Mausumi his staff, Jack skated backwards a little before grinning at his friend. He did a basic spin to get himself facing the right direction before skating in a wide circle. A look of concentration on his face as Jack skated full circle, he performed an axel jump, landing in a back sit position and spinning to perform what was informally called a 'death drop' spin. Coming out of the spin he skated backwards dropping into a hydroblade, his fingers gliding across the surface of the ice. Rising up again he did another basic spin before extending his left leg out and tapping the back of the skate blade into the ice to stop and complete the mini little routine.

Mausumi smiled at the complement, "Thanks. It does take a while, but it's fun!" She said cheerfully. It took her one snowy winter to manage to complete that jump, and lots of perservierance, but she was determind to complete it, and she was able to do it! Mausumi took Jack's staff, as she realized that he was going to preform a move, maybe even a routine as well.

Mausumi grinned as he slowed down. "That was amazing!" She said clapping (carefully as not to break the chain of children) and the one in the end clapped as well. Mausumi knew fully that they all would be clapping if they could. "That spin was amazing! To be honest though, I only know one spin besides from the basic spin." She admitted.

Jack grinned, doing a little bow in response to the clapping. He skated back over to Mausumi and the children.
"I've always loved ice skating and figure skating, so I've being doing it for years."
He paused before smiling at Mausumi, "I could teach you some more spins if you'd like though."

He glanced to the children who were still holding on to each other and the staff in Mausumi's hands. He bent down, digging the toes of his skates into the ice so that he wouldn't slip over.
"We could teach you how to do a little spin too," he grinned to the little group.

Mausumi smiled, "Same here!" She grinned, glad that someone else liked ice and figure skating. "Really, that would be great!" She said cheerfully to Jack.

The children wobbled around, asking Jack if they could learn how to spin.
Mausumi watched the children beg to learn how to spin. "It can't hurt, you just might want to ask the adults if they can." She said finally, grinning from ear to ear.

After a few hours teaching each of the children how to do a basic spin with Mausumi, Jack had begun to teach his new friend how to do a death drop. It wasn't hard, for Mausumi already knew how to do an axel jump and a butterfly spin. Jack just illustrated the differences between the butterfly and the death drop and, after accompanying the information with a few demonstrations, she was well on her way to perfecting it.

After this, Jack skated gracefully on the ice, not quite concentrating on his movements as he skated backwards in a continuous wide circle. He was watching the orange hues of the sky as the sun was beginning to set. Most of the children had left with their parents so that they could wash and get an early night, but there were still a pair on the ice, trying to teach their parents to do a spin as Jack and Mausumi had taught them.

As Jack skated, the tip of his staff was dragged along the ice. Through it, Jack could feel the ice thinning as it was rather unnatural for it to be frozen over at this time of the year. Worried for the people still on the lake, Jack decided that he would stay and make sure the ice was thick enough until everyone left. He suddenly snapped out of his thoughts though, nearly toppling over as he realised he was still skating backwards.
Chuckling as he regained his balance, he looked to Mausumi.

"Well I think we made the most of this snowy summer's day," he laughed, happy to have made a friend that shared his love for the snow.

Mausumi slowly skated on the ice. She thought about how easy it had been to learn how to do the Death Drop, compared to learning how to do the Butterfly Spin. She decided that the reason why she was able to learn it that quickly was because she already learned the Butterfly Spin, and she had a good teacher. Mausumi quickly did an axel jump, then went to a death drop, only stumbling a bit. She turned to Jack and grinned, "Not quite, I can make some Hot Chocolate to end the day." She admited

(sorry for short post >-<)

Jack smiled, digging the tips of the blades on his skates into the ice to bring him to a halt.
"Hot chocolate sounds good," he grinned doing a spin before heading for the edge of the ice. They'd better get back to the village before nightfall anyhow and it was already getting darker. Those who still remained with their children seemed to have the same idea and were carrying tired children back towards the village.

Reaching the edge of the ice, Jack sat down to take his skates off. He tied them around the tip of his staff as he had done on the way here and waited for Mausumi.

Mausumi smiled at Jack, before speeding off towards land (or wherever she thought she left her shoes). It was definitely a different day, but it caused her to find her a new friend. Sometimes things happen for a reason as her mom would say. As she reached land, the ice slowly was thinning out, even she could feel it but that's alright since nobody was on it anymore. After a small hunt for her shoes in the darkening light she took off her skates and put on her shoes, dashed to where Jack was waiting, knowing she would never forgot the one snowy summer they had.

(Sorry it's a habit when I end or begin stuff like this i make it something like that..)
