First Defense, First challenge ! - Ambre Brault (C) vs Yuki Inoe

[Bearhug Goddess]

Ambre may have been a new champion, but she had faced numerous heavyweights and knew pretty much everything about the type of opponent she could encounter. Even though she was the kind of powerhouse wrestler who could be quite flexible, she knew she wasn't the fastest wrestler in her weight class, unlike Yuki... But the Black Pearl had a strategy against this type of opponent!

She simply waited in the center of the ring for her opponent's attack. If she could react and block, all the better, but in any case, she looked to trade blows or catch her opponent. It was a simple strategy, but the best way to avoid losing her stamina and being humiliated by the speed difference.

And the moment finally arrived. The challenger lunged at full speed toward the champion for a gut punch! She was faster than before, and Ambre was too surprised to block the blow. She took the punch through gritted teeth, then stretched out her hands to grab her opponent's arm despite the pain. If she succeeded, the champion would follow up by pulling Yuki towards her and striking her in the chest with her other arm with a lariat!

[Kookio]

Ambre'a move would be a big turning point in the match as although Yuki's plan of attempting to charge in and gut check her opponent with a fast and powerful right hook would be successful, her eyes would widen as she saw that Ambre didn't have quite the reaction to it as she expected.

As opposed to knocking the girl onto her knees, Ambre was still standing! Not just standing... When Yuki tried to reel her arm back, she would find that her arm was caught within the giantess' grip!

"W-What the- ACK!"

Yuki would cry out as she could only barely turn her head in time to see the freight train that was Ambre's other arm smashing into her chest with a powerful Lariat! The resulting move would send Yuki's upper body crashing downwards, bouncing off of the ring floor and back into a sitting position, dazed while she clutched at her chest in pain. Just as Yuki predicted, after being hit by the first punch by Ambre, the resulting pain would leave her exposed to Ambre being able to grabbing and or attacking her once more.

[Bearhug Goddess]

The champion's plan worked. Despite the pain and her opponent's speed, she managed to grab the challenger's arm and follow up with a powerful move, slamming Yuki to the ground with a powerful Lariat! It wasn't often that the crowd had the chance to see Ambre fight lighter opponents, but her strength proved one thing: all her Test of Strength victories and powerful slams weren't luck; her muscles weren't a bluff!

The spectators were loud and cheered on the champion to continue setting the pace, and she didn't keep them waiting! The Black Pearl grabbed Yuki by the neck and lifted her with one arm, raising her opponent as if she were as heavy as her championship belt...

"I hope this will show you who's the alpha !"

Then after a few seconds, if everything went as she wanted, Ambre violently slammed Yuki against the mat with a powerful Chokeslam to make sure she shook and inflicted heavy damage on her opponent!

[Kookio]

"Nnngh..."

Yuki groaned while slowly attempting to get up. But she would only make it half way before her opponent's hand would come down and grip onto her neck, restricting her breathing as the giantess would not only manage to lift Yuki up, but also lift the wolf girl off the ground entirely. Yuki would attempt to throw out some kicks, but even if they did hit her opponent, theh wouldn't be strong enough enough to break the grip on her neck and thus, still allowed her opponent to perform the choke slam!

"GRAH!"

Yuki screamed, the color in her eyes temporarily fading as her body would bounce off of the ground and she would fall, the force causing the ring to shake while Yuki would lie there completely unmoving for the time being.

[Bearhug Goddess]

The crowd was going wild, and Ambre felt a strange sense of pride, feeling so dominant in her first title defense match... But the match wasn't over! Until the bell rang to signal the end of the match, she couldn't let her guard down. So the Black Pearl got back to her feet and approached the contender, grabbing Yuki's ankles and bending them in half with a folding pin!

Perhaps Ambre hadn't let her guard down but was already imagining herself the winner too soon, looking for a pinfall too quickly at the start of the match, even though she was dominant...

"ONE!"

[Kookio]

After being slammed down upon the ground, Yuki was left sprawled on the girl, still reeling from the slam as the larger woman grabbed onto both of her ankles and properly pulled them upwards in a pin attempt!

"TWO"

The crowd cheered but Yuki would manage to gather enough of her senses to thrust her hips upwards and break the pin! But though sbe wojld break the pin, all Yuki could do was attempt to roll into a position where Ambre couldn't hurt her as bad. Though if the larger girl would attempt to pull her back up again, Yuki would end up throwing a few quick jabs and elbows into her opponent's stomach until she let go.

[Bearhug Goddess]

Ambre doubled Yuki over to begin a pinfall, patiently waiting for the referee to start and finish the count... But she already saw herself as too strong, too confident in this early stage of the match. Her haste robbed her of victory. Yuki ended the pinfall by pushing the Frenchwoman aside and rolling to the side to create distance, pulling the new champion to her feet. She remained upright and sighed softly.

"Mhh... Alright!"

The Black Pearl gave her challenger time to recover, also creating some distance to warm up her legs and arms before hopping slightly and assuming a wrestling stance, ready to grab her opponent with her hands raised at shoulder level and smiling at Yuki with a challenging look.

"Attack me again, if you dare!~"

[Kookio]

Yuki panted heavily as she managed to create distance away from her opponent, scrambling herself to her feet while lifting her body but falling back on the ropes a little. The world was still spinning a little for the wolf girl but she would shake her head and take a moment to calm her breathing.

"Oh... I dare..."

She replied before rushing forwards at the same speed as before, this time she would try to throw out a multitude of fast jabs at the opponent's abdomin and stomach. She was attempting to focus on out manuevering her opponent. Although the jabs wouldn't hurt nearly as much as the strong punches she would throw out earlier, they would be much harder to catch her.

"Your big body betrays you!"

[Bearhug Goddess]

Ambre seemed to be enjoying herself. She was taking this match seriously, but she was confident in her abilities and strength. Yuki didn't scare her as much as some of her opponents... Perhaps it was because she was used to fighting heavyweights much bigger and heavier than herself. But the challenger had her own fighting style, and although Ambre was ready to grab her, Yuki was far too fast to be caught!

"Mmmhh...!"

Ambre quickly changed position, closing her arms in front of her to protect herself from her opponent's fists after taking a few blows to the face when she missed her grab. But Ambre didn't back down. She remained as straight as an iron fortress and even managed to throw a Big Boot at the challenger's stomach to knock her back.

[Kookio]

Yuki was weaving around her opponent perfectly! Every time the giantess attempted to throw out a grab, she would manage to back out of the way just in time! But then Ambre threw out the heavy boot and although she managed to avoid it. She would be forced to quickly pivot sideways which would also send her careening out of control and then send her tumbling down.

"Gyah!"

It was a fate better than being hit by Ambre's boot, but it would still leave the wolf girl in pain and on the ring floor.
