*At the Lookout, Ryder was busy with a call in private.*
Ryder: Farmer Yumi, are you sure this is a good idea?
Yumi: Of course, trust me on this
Ryder: Alright. Should I tell the two then?
Yumi: No need, I called them up earlier to set up.
Ryder: Alright then
Yumi: Just get your six ready to learn a new lesson.
Ryder: Actually, it’s eight today.
Yumi: Everest and Tracker there too?
Ryder: Yep. Just finishing up their outfits.
Yumi: Ok then
Ryder: They’ll be up soon.
Yumi: Alright then, I'll see you there
Ryder: The pups should love this though.
Yumi: Same here
Ryder: Bye. *He ended the call as he then went out to check on the pups* Oh pups... *the first 6 pups came out of the open to him*
Chase: Yes Ryder?
Ryder: Are you guys ready for Pup-Fu training?
Skye: Sure are.
Rocky: And so are Everest and Tracker
Everest: We always wanted to try Pup-Fu
Tracker: Sounds silly though.
Chase: How so?
Tracker: Being a balloon… sounds weird for fighting.
Skye: Well, Form thought that, but… there’s a trick behind the art they’ll explain.
Tracker: Ok then
Ryder: Alright then Pups, let's go! *All eight of them howled, heading outside.*
Skye: Speaking of Form, where is he and Balloona X at, Ryder?
Ryder: Oh, they're working on something important together
Chase: Should we get them for Yumi's Pup-Fu Lesson?
Ryder: They'll come around. You'll see
Both: Alright then... *A transition of the usual emblem showed Farmer Yumi waiting outside the barn while looking around*
Yumi: Where are those pups at?
Al: Give them some time to be here, dear
Yumi: I know, I know. *As they waited, they soon saw the vehicles in the distance*
Al: See, I told you.
Yumi: Oh, good
Ryder: Hey Farmer Al and Yumi. We're here
Tracker: We're ready for our lesson
Everest: I'm excited
Yumi: And you are in for a real treat today for this lesson, actually
Everest: I do hope we are.
Yumi: Trust me, you will like it *the pups and Ryder got out of their vehicles and went into the barn*
Chase: Where are the others though, Sensei Yumi?
Yumi: Just follow me *they entered to see the dojo area with a bit of extra work*
Marshall: Whoa... some work went into this.
Everest: So it doesn't normally look like this?
Rocky: Not really. Is this the surprise?
Yumi: Well, part of it
Zuma: What's the other part?
Yumi: Well... *she moved by as Balloona X and Formula in special gis*
Both: Hello pups...
Skye: Hey you 2. Looking good.
Zuma: You ready for the new lesson?
Balloona X: Thanks, buuuut...
Formula: There's been a change of plans, right Sensei Yumi?
Yumi: Yes. I won't be teaching the lesson here.
Pups except Balloona X and Formula: What?!
Yumi: Meet your new sensei's for Blimpup-Fu training... *She pointed to the two pups ahead as they bowed and grinned.*
Both: We have such unique tricks to show you.
Everest: You two?!
Tracker: Teaching us?!
Balloona X: Who better?
Chase: Makes sense actually
Skye: They were the first pups to have abilities...
Rocky: And gave us to them...
Rubble: And trained us...
Marshall: And won that tournament a while ago.
Zuma: They started it all for us.
Balloona X: That’s...
Formula: Right...
Both: Pups!
Balloona X: So who's ready? *The other eight looked to each other, then back to their two new masters as they cheered.*
Formula: Perfect. But first... Everest, Tracker... best to suit up and learn...
Balloona X: The Way of the Balloon Dog.
Everest & Tracker: Alright then *The two looked to Ryder who had two boxes for them in matching colors to their outfits.*
Both: Whoa!
Ryder: For you.
Both: Thanks Ryder *they took the boxes and opened to see their own gis in their colors*
Both: Cool *they hurried to put them on and admired them*
Everest: Now these are nice!
Tracker: ¡Muy bien!
Ryder: Glad you like them
Everest: Thanks a lot Ryder!
Balloona X: Now, are you ready to learn our way?
Tracker: Si, master Loona.
Balloona X: Good.
Formula: But first, you need to be in shape
Everest: Shape?
Formula: Yes. *He led the other two outside to special pillows set up with the other six waiting calmly.*
Tracker: So is this for a special training?
Formula: Yes. *He and Balloona sat in front of the eight.*
Balloona X: Now, our first part of training is to be in shape physically.
Rubble: Shape physically?
Formula: Yup. In order to properly train in Blimp Pup-Fu, you need the right shape.
Both: Like so... *They both inhaled, starting to blow up like always.*
Skye: Ah... like you 2 do your inflated fun everyday
Balloona X: Exactly.
Formula: Now your turn pups
Balloona X: Just try to focus on your shape
Skye: Shape, huh? *Skye closed her eyes and slowly inhaled for a bit as she began to inflate*
Chase: Oh Skye... always eager to start. *Skye stop to the size and shape she want to be*
Skye: Hehe, can you blame me?
Balloona X: Good work, Skye
Formula: Seems you're in "good shape" for this.
Skye: Thank you
Balloona X: The rest of you now... *All 7 pups close their eyes and focus on their size and shape*
Yumi: Your students are learning quite fast.
Formula: It's not about speed in this art, it's skill. *Then they see the 7 pups started to inflate up to Skye except for Everest who went past their size, but stopped when she's double the size*
Balloona X: Uh, Everest?
Everest: Yes?
Formula: You uh... got overexcited, didn't you?
Everest: Yes, why?
Marshall: Cause you're twice as big as all of us?
Everest: Oh, hehehe. Sorry
Balloona X: It's ok, Everest
Formula: At least we know you can get into shape well.
Everest: Hehehehe thanks *She wobbled, nuzzling against Marshall as he blushed.*
Formula: Hehe, there'll be plenty of time for that later...
Everest: Awww... fine.
Balloona X: Good *She stopped as the ten got ready.*
Chase: So what's next, Sensei's?
Balloona X: Now we just practice some shifts and positions so you can understand how to use your body
Rubble: But, don’t we know that a bit by now?
Formula: Yes you do
Rocky: What’s more to learn though there?
Formula: How to defend properly...
Balloona X: How to get out of a hold...
Formula: Best ways to pin...
Tracker: Oi oi oi, that’s a lot.
Balloona X: Yeah, we know
Formula: But it’s easy.
Both: Watch us and learn *They both rolled over to have a spar, bowing heads.* Time to best you, love!
Chase: Hehehehe, it's funny that they...
Skye: Finish each other’s sentences?
Both: Huh? How so?
Chase: Like how you're doing it now
Skye: Same to you.
Both: I don't see it *They both blushed and giggled, rubbing against each other.*
Skye: hehe, aww...
Chase: So cute
Formula: Watch closely, students! *They stood in position as they were ready to spar*
Balloona X: First up, defense. *Formula went to grapple as Balloona X used her belly and side to push him back as well as inflate a bit more* It’s hard to attack something round and bouncy, making this a perfect defensive strategy.
Skye: And cuddly if you're against someone who likes that kind of stuff
Balloona X: In some manner. *She turned, seeing Formula deflated as he dived towards her, only to sink into her belly and bounce out to land in a pile of pillows.*
Formula: It’s ok pups, I set pillows everywhere for a reason
Balloona X: Don’t want to hurt my partner in this battle, after all.
Marshall: Especially me since... well you know
Formula: Yeah, clumsiness. Anyway, next lesson; getting a hold of someone. *He inflated back up, rolling back over and bowing to Balloona X.*
Both: Round two! *Formula then got to her side for a push to get her down before getting a spot to sit down on her*
Formula: It’s tricky to catch someone when round, especially when they match in this art. Usually, a skinnier pup or fighter is easier… *He nodded to his collie.*
Balloona X: But that's what makes this art interesting *She deflated, wiggling out from under him.*
Formula: While being a balloon is hard to fight, our size makes it harder to move as well. *He was picked up by the collie, bounced on her back.* Mobile opponents have an edge, but… all is not lost.
Rocky: How so?
Balloona X: Well…
Formula: I'll just show you. *He began to slowly inflate more as Balloona was losing the momentum*
Balloona X: Oh man… *Soon she was pinned under the excess weight of her pup*
Formula: Pinned you, dear
Zuma: Dude, when'd you get so heavy?
Formula: See, that's a new trick Loony and I found out. We can alter our weight a bit with a simple thought while swelling bigger. That, coupled with lack of space between each bounce, means they'll lose sooner.
Balloona X: Best to use that time to get them quickly or when they think they have the upper hand
Everest: So even the most mobile competitors who think they have an edge...
Formula: Can easily be squashed by a bigger boulder of bloated pup. *He closed his eyes, deflating and lightening up as he hopped off his flattened collie.*
Formula: Sorry, my dear
Balloona X: No no, it's ok *He rolled over, looking at her.*
Formula: Need a paw?
Balloona X: Yeah, If you don't mind *He nodded, kissing her and blowing air into her. She soon was back to her size with a bit more for fun*
Balloona X: You did this on purpose, didn't you?
Formula: Maybe
Balloona X: With how often I do it to you, it's fair. *She grinned, holding him in a headlock.* But you forget love... never let your guard down...
Formula: Oh...
Balloona X: Now, Blimpups aren't unstoppable. They're ticklish... *She began tickling his belly.*
Formula: Hehehehe, Loony! Stop!
Balloona X: Big bloated bellies can also be your own weakness *She kept on as Formula soon rolled on his back from the tickling*
Formula: Please stop! Hehehehe!
Balloona X: Not yet... *She continued tickling him.*
Formula: Hehehe, Loony! Hehehe, stop! Mercy! Hehehe!
Balloona X: They also can grow against their own will and have no control. *She hopped on him, inhaling deeply before kissing him and blowing. He began to inflate some more as his paws began to sink into his sides*
Everest: Whoa, seems like it's hard to master.
Balloona X: Not if you try your best on it
Marshall: On being the balloon or the blower?
Balloona X: Both with enough practice.
Everest: Makes sense
Balloona X: Mmhm. *She jump off of Formula* Looks like I win! And I get my prize! *She hugged and cuddled her pup*
Formula: Not fully... *He curved his body, thrusting it forward to bounce her off into a pile of pillows.* Round 2 ain't over yet!
Balloona X: Hehehe, ok then... *She got up, going back to her swollen lab.*
Skye: So what's next?
Formula: Well, pinning's a main takedown for us! *He bounced over, knocking Balloona back down as he then sat on top of her.* Like this.
Everest: Hehehehe, you've been hoping to sit on her after all the times she sat on you?
Formula: Oh big time.
Balloona X: *muffled* Ooohhh, gentlepup is starting to play tough now, hehehe
Formula: You do it all the time, it's only fair. I win this round though. *He hopped off her, deflating back down.*
Balloona X: Well played *She returned to her blimpy size to match as they both bowed.*
Rubble: Is there some kind of lesson for this next part, or is it a tiebreaker?
Balloona X: You'll see! *She and Formula went for a third round, using similar attacks, defensive moves, and even got bigger, but found they were just too evenly matched.* Ok... *pant* d-draw Formy?
Formula: *panting* I guess so...
Both: *panting* It's a tie! *They both bumped bellies, rolling forward to nuzzle.*
Skye: Awww!
Formula: Why don't you all partner up and practice?
Marshall and Everest: I pick...
Marshall: Everest!
Everest: Marshall!
Zuma: Seems a couple spar will happen, dudes.
Skye and Chase: Make that 2
Rubble: You two as well?
Both: Yup!
Balloona X: Whoever will partner up for their match?
Rubble: Hmm... Rocky, think you can hang?
Rocky: Sure
Tracker: I guess it's you and me, Zuma
Zuma: I'm fine with that, dude.
Balloona X: Good, now go and practice *All eight pups nodded, each splitting off into their battle sets as the two sensei's rolled away to watch.*
Formula: Let's see how much they learned from us *They watched as Rubble and Rocky were making good use of the weight pinning as well as the maneuvering*
Rocky: Man Rubble, I can't tell if that was the Blimpup-Fu lessons, or the breakfast this morning.
Rubble: Bit of both, honestly. Because this makes my strength more double trouble!
Rocky: We'll see when with my Rocky Rollout!
Rubble: Rocky Rollout? *The mixed breed rolled around the bulldog, making him dizzy a bit.* Whoa... uhhhh...
Rocky: And now... *He rolled towards him, bouncing Rubble onto his back and pinning him.*
Rocky: Got you!
Rubble: Ok, fair enough!
Balloona X: Point to Rocky!
Rocky: Best of three or something?
Rubble: Your on! *The two got ready to go again as the Blimpup masters looked to Skye and Chase.*
Skye: Come at me, Chasey!
Chase: Gladly! *He charge at Skye*
Skye: That's right... *She then bounced Chase away with her belly*
Chase: Hey!
Skye: Try again, Chasey.
Chase: Oh I will *He charged at her again*
Skye: Hehe, here we go again. *She bounced him away again* Come on Chase…
Chase: I won't give up! *He continued charging, bouncing off each time as he got tired more and more with each attempt. Chase started panting*
Skye: Someone’s getting tired.
Chase: Are you kidding... *He panting*
Skye: On you being tired? No.
Chase: I'm not... giving... up... *He pass out as Skye pin him down*
Skye: Bold, but foolish to exhaust so much energy, Chasey. I win.
Chase: *pant* No... *pant* fair
Balloona X: It’s completely fair, Chase. It’s hard to beat a balloon, remember?
Chase: Oh...
Skye: Tire your opponent out, right?
Formula: Yep. Make them waste energy.
Balloona X: Point to Skye!
Skye: Yay!
Chase: *pant* Ok... *pant* Next... *pant* Round...
Skye: Oh you *She got off him to begin the next round as the masters turned to Zuma and Tracker.*
Tracker: Ready amigo?
Zuma: Ready buddy! *The two bowed, beginning their brawl. They grappled for a bit as Zuma began to lift Tracker up a bit*
Tracker: Whoa!? *after a bounce off his head, Zuma got Tracker pinned with a little wind knocked out of him*
Zuma: Gotcha!
Tracker: Hey! *Tracker began to inflate quickly as Zuma was surprised of the sudden expansion*
Zuma: Whoa! *Tracker bounce Zuma off of him*
Tracker: My turn. *he bounced to the chocolate lab and pinned him under his larger size*
Formula: Clever move there, Tracker
Balloona X: Point for Tracker!
Tracker: Wanna go again?
Zuma: You bet, dude. *they for back up as the masters went to the final spar with Marshall and Everest*
Balloona X: Let's see how they're doi- *She paused, seeing Everest puffing her dalmatian opponent up.*
Formula: I guess she went for the immobilization route...
Balloona X: Yes she did...
Formula: Everest, how did you manage to get him immobilized this quickly?
Everest: A slip from him, and I wanted to kiss him.
Formula: Makes sense
Balloona X: Couldn't resist, huh?
Everest: Nope
Balloona X: I guess it's a point there
Everest: Hehe, good. *She continued puffing him up with her tail wagging.*
Balloona X: I think their testing is going good so far
Formula: Indeed, but we have to teach them the other lessons...
Balloona X: Like moving, and... bending and breaking stuff with unique forms?
Formula: Yeah
Balloona X: Alright then dear
Formula: Alright pups! *they all soon stopped their sparring as they soon took a seat, but Everest was too busy with her Dalmatian to pay attention*
Balloona X: Everest, pay attention here
Marshall: *muffled* Everest…
Everest: Oh alright... *She finally stopped, turning back to the others.*
Yumi: How is your training going, pups?
Chase: It's interesting...
Skye: And fun
Everest: And adorable…
Marshall: Yeah... *He blushed, getting nuzzled by the husky as the two before them cleared their throats.*
Everest: Right right, sorry.
Balloona X: We're glad you were able to understand and enjoy the lesson
Formula: But now, we move onto the next bit.
Tracker: What would that be?
Both: Agility!
Rubble: In our sizes?
Balloona X: Yep.
Formula: Follow us, balloony warriors! *He bounced out first with his collie following behind him. The others soon also followed them to their next spot*
Everest: Where are we going?
Formula: You'll see!
Skye: Alright *they lead the pups to the back and stopped*
Balloona X: Here we are
Everest: Here?
Formula: Yep, take a look *they saw a strange course of some sorts for them*
Pups: Whoa
Balloona X: This is the agility and mobility test!
Formula: This is where we test your movement during your Blimpup-Fu match
Tracker: Isn't it all just rolling and bouncing though?
Formula: It sounds like it, but there's often times for using the wrong movement.
Rubble: Wrong movement?
Balloona X: Mmhm.
Zuma: What wrong movement?
Formula: Allow us to show you. *He and Balloona went to the course.*
Chase: Alright
Balloona X: Alright... let's go, Formy!
Formula: Right behind *The two rolled under some higher raised beams, but both ended up getting stuck under lower ones.*
Both: Uh oh...
Rocky: You two alright?
Balloona X: Yeah, but you see why it’s important to know the right movement? *She rolled back out easily.* There we go
Formula: Loony? *He licked his hind paws a bit.* Little help? I kinda got wedged too well in this demo…
Balloona X: Oh right *She went to his side, tickling his paw a bit as he laughed a bit.* tickle tickle tickle!
Formula: Loony! *the tickling made Formula move abruptly as he got unstuck from the beam*
Balloona X: There we go.
Formula: Hehehe... thanks...
Balloona X: We should’ve bounced, not rolled love.
Formula: Yeah we should've...
Balloona X: See though pups? There's a difference when moving like this.
Formula: You just need to think ahead of time *The two bounced, going up the platform and continuing on the course to move around as the other eight watched.*
Marshall: I worry about this test, personally...
Everest: Why? Is it because you make mistakes?
Marshall: Mainly...
Everest: Don't worry, I'll be right by your side, no matter what *She stayed close to him, cuddling his side.*
Marshall: Awww hehehe
Everest: Mmm... Marshy...
Balloona X and Formula: Pups?!
Both: Huh?
Formula: Pay attention please.
Balloona X: Or you'll end up as blimped pups for the remainder of the lesson.
Formula: *whispered* I never agreed to that... *Balloona shushed him quietly*
Balloona X: Shhhh...
Everest: I don't mind, if I get to be with Marshy
Marshall: Everest...
Everest: What?
Marshall: That's not such a good...
Balloona X: Pups!
Both: Yes?
Balloona X: Focus, please!
Everest: Right. Sorry.
Formula: Now, who's first to run... or rather, bounce through the course?
Skye: Looks interesting
Chase: I'll do it.
Formula: Then go ahead then
Skye: Let's get to it, Chasey! *they both bounced over to the course to ready themselves*
Balloona X: Ready...
Formula: Set...
Both: Begin! *All 8 pups started to roll and bounce through the course*
Formula: Hmm... *He looked over, seeing Ryder and Yumi watching as well.*
Ryder: Got them practicing their movement as well?
Formula: Of course. Loony wanted to save the other test for last, and it was kind of a reflection to how Sensei Yumi taught us on Pup-Fu.
Balloona X: Plus it's also helping them to control their abilities more often
Ryder: Very true.
Yumi: Hope they will be ok on the course
Formula: They should.
Yumi: Well let's see *The four watched the eight run the course, but Marshall ended up messing up one of his bounces and got wedged between a bunch of giant poles.*
Marshall: Oh come on...
Balloona X: Maybe we should've discussed landings better for them?
Formula: Agreed
Marshall: It's my clumsiness... *He sighed, lowering his ears.*
Balloona X: It's ok Marshall, accidents happen
Formula: Even with having these abilities, having to do so much still takes a while to get used to.
Marshall: Well, I guess you're right
Everest: But you do make the cutest wipeouts like that.
Marshall: Really?
Everest: Mmhm, of course. Here, let me help *She deflated down, grabbing his outfit and tried to pull him out.*
Marshall: Whoa, be careful...
Everest: I am, why worry?
Marshall: I'm just saying because...
Everest: Because... what?
Marshall: Well... *Before he finishes his sentence, Everest manage to pull him out completely*
Everest: Gotcha Marshy! You're wel... *Marshall ended up sitting on top of her from the extra force needed.*
Marshall: Oh, thanks Everest *He looked but he don't see her* Everest?
Rubble: Uh... Marshall?
Marshall: What?
Zuma: May've squashed her, dude.
Marshall: What? *He get up and see Everest all flattened on his bloated butt* Oh boy! I'm so sorry Everest
Everest: Oooohhh...
Marshall: Everest?
Everest: I’m… ok.
Chase: I'll get her off of you, Marshall *He rolled to the flattened husky, carefully peeling her off.* There we go
Everest: Thanks Chase.
Chase: No problem
Marshall: That could’ve gone smoother though.
Everest: Yea, but can you reinflate me?
Marshall: Sure thing. *He grabbed her and started to blow air into her*
Everest: Mmmmm. *She started to inflate by Marshall's air*
Formula: This may take a bit.
Balloona X: Yep
Rubble: How’d we all do though?
Balloona X: You all did quite well.
Formula: Even if 2 of you did get a little accident during this *He titled his head over to the dalmatian and husky as Everest was made to match the others in size.*
Everest: Aww, I’m not the biggest now?
Balloona X: Everest, this art isn’t about being the biggest.
Formula: It’s about controlling your ability more often, even in a Blimpup-Fu match
Everest: I never thought of it like that fully.
Balloona X: That's because you were too focused on inflating your pup and yourself... believe me, that happens to me too
Everest: Oh, right
Balloona X: Trust me, when this is over, we’ll have fun.
Everest: Oooh, really?
Balloona X: Mmhm. *Everest looked at Marshall with a smile*
Everest: Ok, I’ll take it a bit more serious now.
Balloona X: Good
Formula: So, you can handle the shape, sparring, and moving… but now’s one of the harder tests.
Pups: Harder?
Balloona X: You heard him right. Sensei Yumi and Ryder, do we have the final test set up?
Yumi: Got it done ahead of schedule
Formula: Perfect
Rocky: Final test?
Both: Yep
Chase: What’s the final test?
Skye: Yea what is it?
Balloona X: You will see, students.
Formula: Just follow us *they then followed their masters over to another part of the barn to see their final test*
Both: Welcome to the strength test! *The area had a bunch of wooden planks, concrete blocks, and steel girders set up.*
Pups: Whoa!
Formula: This will put your Blimpup-Fu Strength to the test
Rubble: Strength, huh?
Balloona X: Yep.
Formula: Watch and learn *He focused, changing his shape to a bottom heavy pear style.*
Balloona X: Been a while since you brought Pearmula out to play.
Formula: I haven’t been getting overridden by you lately.
Balloona X: Fair enough *She also changed to match his new shape, smiling a bit.* I should use those overrides more often, I miss that fun a bit.
Formula: But for now, this *They both bounced up, slamming down onto two planks of wood and breaking them.*
Rocky: Whoa
Balloona X: You need to use your own body to see how strong you are to break as many planks as you can
Rubble: This seems like a great test
Balloona X: But you need to focus enough to make your body heavy
Skye: Does that explain your shapes then?
Formula: N-No, of course not! *He blushed in embarrassment a bit.*
Balloona X: Formy...
Formula: M-Moving on!
Balloona X: Oh Formy...
Formula: I said moving on! *Balloona X sighed with a smile*
Balloona X: You aren't good at keeping things under wraps, Formy.
Formula: Fine
Balloona X: Heh, oh you...
Formula: Anyway, let's test your strength now
Pups: Right! *Chase went up to the boards first*
Chase: Let’s do this.
Skye: Go Chasey! *Chase breathed for a bit before bouncing up and slammed down onto the boards as 3 broke*
Pups: Whoa!
Formula: All while a regular balloon too. Impressive.
Chase: Thanks Formula *Chase moved aside as Skye excitedly bounced up next*
Skye: I'll try 4
Balloona X: Skye... it's not about showing off...
Skye: Oh, I know
Formula: Alright then
Skye: However... I like putting on a show. *She giggled, rolling upright.* Let's try a small shift.
Chase: What do you mean? *she then focused as her form shifted to a larger pear shape*
Skye: There we go
Chase: W-Whoa… *Skye giggled a bit before she bounced to the boards to smash them*
Pups: Wow
Skye: Ready? *she crashed down to the 4 boards as they broke under her size*
Chase: None of us said “yes” though.
Skye: Heh, expect anything else? *She wiggled her figure as the shepherd blushed a bit.*
Chase: Well... uh...
Skye: Hehe, still a nice look in this outfit, huh?
Chase: *he blushed* Uh... yea
Skye: Still just as bouncy as being a round balloon too.
Chase: Y-Yeah...
Skye: Something wrong? *She walked back over to him.*
Chase: No!
Skye: Hmmmm...
Chase: I uh... moving on. *Chase bounced away with Skye following as the other pups took their turn*
Skye: Wait for me, Chasey!
Rocky: My turn...
Formula: Go right ahead *A transition with the unique yin yang cut to later with a bunch of board pieces around as Zuma had just finished.*
Zuma: Lot of extra wood for us, but... what's with the bricks and steel?
Formula: That's in case someone thought they could be a tougher balloon or such.
Balloona X: Last pup, Rubble *Rubble bounced up to them as he looked at the boards for a bit before turning to the bricks and steel* What are you doing, Rubble?
Rubble: I'm a tough pup.
Formula: Rubble, we were going to demonstrate first if someone did that.
Rubble: But I wanna try it out first
Balloona X: Oh dear...
Formula: I can't watch *He cover his eyes. Some bricks and steel were set up under the wood boards as Rubble soon focused as he shifted to a larger pear shaped*
Rubble: Heh, I'm gonna be a one-pup wrecking crew!
Tracker: Oi oi oi... *He covered his eyes with his ears.* Seems Rumple... er, Rubble, might be a bit too confident here.
Rubble: *breathed a bit* Here goes! *he bounced for some momentum before falling to the stack. All the pups turned away in worry. Soon Rubble slammed into the stack as the boards broke to splinters, the bricks kicked up a bit of dust with pebbles, and the girder bent with a snap. The stones holding the stack also seems to have broke under his weight* You can look, guys *they all uncovered their eyes as they then saw the aftermath*
Pups: Whoa!
Rubble: One-pup wrecking crew! And what did you call me before, Tracker?
Tracker: Uh... Me olvidé. I forgot...
Rubble: Really?
Balloona X: Formy, we need Drifty
Formula: Alright... *He sighed, closing his eyes as his tag changed.*
Drift: Heyo pups, what do you need?
Balloona X: Did you hear what Tracker said before?
Drift: I heard something involving... "Rumple" I believe.
Tracker: Well... uh...
Rubble: Tracker....
Tracker: I'm caught red pawed, aren't I?
Drift: Yep
Rubble: Rumple, huh? Heh, not too bad for this shape, honestly.
Balloona X: hehehe, another nickname for one of us
Drift: Yep *He switch back to Formula*
Everest: I'm sure we'll figure something clever for each of us in due time... right, Marshy?
Marshall: Uh... right...
Balloona X: Now you pups are ready for this
Everest: It was fun, I'll tell you that.
Skye: We're all Blimpup-Fu experts!
Formula: Well... not yet.
Balloona X: There is one way to gain the title of Blimpup-Fu Expert...
Chase: And that would be?
Both: A Blimpup-Fu Battle against us!
Pups: Against you?!
Both: That's right! *The pups looked nervous as the two masters grinned.*
Balloona X: All you have to do is immobilize...
Formula: Or pin us down...
Both: In order to pass *The two began swelling bigger as the other eight looked a bit shocked.* Hehehehe
Marshall: Wait, why're you two swelling bigger?
Balloona X: Making it tougher for you pups *The two wobbled, half the size of Yumi's barn as the other eight nervously looked up.*
Both: Come and get some!
Pups: Uh oh...
Ryder: Come on pups, you can do it
Tracker: They're muy grande though!
Yumi: But you pups can find a way to beat them *The eight tried going for the pin move, but they simply bounced off each time as the masters laughed at their attempts.*
Balloona X: Come on, that can't be all you got
Formula: You need to use what you learned from your lesson
Skye: From our lessons... *She looked around a bit while the others continued their attempts.* Hmm...
Chase: There has to be a way around this... *Skye looked at the area for a possible way as she then went to Chase to whisper in his ear* You sure about it
Skye: Trust me.
Chase: OK then...
Skye: Guys, I have a plan
Everest: Lay it on us *She whispered the idea to them*
Marshall: Could work.
Rocky: Let's try it out
Formula: What're you pups planning?
Skye: Our victory!
Balloona X: Oh really? How ya gonna do that?
Pups: Like so! *They all began bouncing around the large duo.*
Formula: Bouncing? Really?
Balloona X: You pups really pulling that move on us? *they began to bounce all around in a strange unusual way*
Formula: What're they plotting?
Balloona X: I don't know... *the masters looked in confusion as they weren't sure what to expect*
Formula: Well let's try to stop them before they... do whatever they are doing *The two masters tried rolling and cutting off their paths, but the eight just merely rolled away.*
Balloona X: Hold still, pups
Pups: No way! *they kept at this for some time as the masters couldn't get a moment with the pups*
Formula: Come back here!
Pups: No way, you blimps! *time and time again the pups bounced around and away from them as the masters were soon losing their momentum*
Balloona X: Man... getting a... bit tired...
Formula: Me... too... dear... *Skye then noticed their slower reaction as she knew it was time*
Skye: Man, you two look short of breath...
Chase: I think we should try this together
Formula: Try... what...?
Balloona X: What are... you talking... about?
Chase: Shall we?
Skye: Let's! *The other couple bounced around off two walls, going to the masters and bumping them so their heads went lower, rolling over to them.*
Both: Whoa...
Chase: No worries you two.
Skye: We know how to help get you back in the right shape.
Both: Right... shape?
Skye: Yep!
Chase: Just relax and... *Chase pressed his muzzle against Balloona X's while Skye did the same to Formula as the masters looked baffled.*
Both: Huh?!
Skye: Prepare for us...
Chase: To blow you...
Both: Up!
Balloona X and Formula: Uh oh... *They tried rolling away, but the other pups kept them pinned on the other three sides.*
Chase: Nice work, team. Ready Skye?
Skye: Ready Chasey
Both: Let's do it! *They both inhaled, blowing air into the respective master they had.*
Masters: Mmmph...?!
Everest: Hehe, it's like you two said earlier to us...
Marshall: They also grow against their own will and have no control
Everest: Exactly! *the masters continued to puff up as their limbs and heads began to sink into them*
Masters: Mmmph! *Chase and Skye stopped blowing air into the masters*
Chase: There we go.
Skye: All aired up again. *The two rolled back, seeing the huge Blimpup masters bigger than Yumi's barn each.*
Balloona X: I must admit, this was clever.
Formula: It was strange to have been kissed by someone else. *Balloona then stared at Formula with a light glare*
Balloona X: I'm so overriding your inflation settings for that remark, mister.
Formula: Wh-What?!
Balloona X: You heard me...
Formula: I'm sorry! It was weird to me!
Skye: No going back on what you said
Chase: I do agree slightly... *He looked to see Skye glaring as well.* Form, I might join you in fairness...
Formula: Alright then, Chase
Balloona X: However, before that... it's time for the ceremony. After we deflate, that is...
Formula: Of course... *After a bit, all of the members were deflated and back inside the barn with the two masters being joined by Yumi.*
Yumi: Great job on your lesson today, pups
Balloona X: We're truly impressed you all picked up on the lessons and adapted quickly.
Formula: Even besting us at our own thing by working as a team.
Skye: It was nothing
Everest: So are we now... Blimpup-Fu experts?
Balloona X: Indeed you all are
Pups: Awesome!
Formula: Congratulations
Balloona X: And we got a big treat for you pups
Rubble: Treat?!
Formula: Not that kind of treat Rubble.
Rubble: Oh...
Balloona X: Sensei Yumi... the box, please.
Yumi: Sure thing *She picked up a box nearby, opening it as the pups looked in it. They looked and saw special belts with familiar colors*
Pups: Whoa!
Formula: These are your special Blimpup-Fu belts to be worn with pride.
Pups: Thanks!
Skye: We will make you proud for our Blimpup-Fu Training
Balloona X: Good, cause before we give our boys their thing from earlier, Skye... Formy?
Formula: Yes?
Balloona X: You know what we must do, right?
Formula: Of course.
Chase: What are you talking about?
Balloona X: You'll see...
Formula: Hehehehe *The two masters softly paced around as the eight students looked on curiously.*
Tracker: ¿Que esta pasando? What's going on?
Balloona X: Just wait
Formula: Mmhm... *He and Balloona got into position as they nodded.* Now?
Balloona X: Now! *they inflated quickly as their bellies were pressing against the pups as they soon got sandwich squished between them*
Everest: Whoa! What's the deal guys?!
Balloona X: This is your treat
Formula: A sandwich of Blimpups.
Skye: This is a lot
Balloona X: And you deserve it. Hehehe *The two masters softly wiggled their paws, getting hugged and nuzzled by their eight students.*
Rubble: It is nice
Rocky: Very nice.
Everest: So cuddly too *With the eight enjoying their time, a transition of the teams usual emblem saw them back at the Lookout with their gear set up fully.*
Ryder: You pups had a great time there, I take it?
Zuma: The greatest
Marshall: Um, where are Skye, Chase, Balloona, and Formula though?
Rocky: They, uh... had to get some time to themselves after a remark they couldn't take back.
Everest: It wasn't great for them *puts her paw over Marshall to pull him closer to her. Whispered* You know you'd join them if that ever happens to you, right?
Marshall: Cross my heart, I'll try not to slip up on that...
Everest: You sure?
Marshall: Yes?
Ryder: Do you pups know when they'll be back?
Rocky: No idea, Ryder
Zuma: They said they'll be back when they can *When the pups began going to relax, they could see a black and brown curve somewhere off in the distance. It then showed the two gals puffing their boys up to their hearts content from the remarks earlier.*
Chase: *muffled* How much more Skye?!
Formula: *muffled* I think we learned our lesson!
Skye: *muffled* It was partially my plan, but...
Balloona X: *muffled* You two haven't learned quite yet to us...
Boys: Oh come on, girls
Girls: Don't mess with your Blimpup-Fu gals, boys! *They continued puffing away as the boys simply groaned.*
Boys: *thinking* Note to self, never ever mention "strange to be kissed by someone else" near my girl again...
Girls: Hehehehe
*The two gals enjoyed blowing up their puploons while the boys were at the mercy of them for who knows how long.*
The End
