The Young Lioness Cup: Gabi Pelletier vs. Joyce Hilda

[Joyce_Hilda]

Noticing Gabi stunned, and wanting to make her sweat and struggle, draining a bit more of her stamina, Joyce decided to go for an early pinfall, raising her leg, and rolling over her thick opponent.

"ONE..."

[arktriumph]

Laid out flat by the crossbody, Gabi let out a moan as she felt Joyce drape across her, grabbing her leg and hooking it for a quick pinfall attempt.

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

No, no, no! Determination gripped Gabi and with a wail of effort she bucked her body hard, trying to twist a shoulder up off the canvas to stop Joyce from completing the pinfall.

[Joyce_Hilda]

Joyce was roughly shoved away by Gabi, who prevented her of completing the pinfall. Joyce went back to her feet and waited for Gabi to go back at her feet. As she did so, Joyce would charge and use a flying hip attack against her thick opponent.

[arktriumph]

Gabi managed to kick out of the pin to stop Joyce from winning the match there and then, but the buxom Young Lioness was still reeling from the attacks that she had absorbed. Her body was sore, her weak constitution betraying her as she struggled back to her feet.

However, when she got back up, it was only to be knocked down again as Joyce flew at her with a hip attack. Two fast for the young Canadian to avoid, Joyce's backside thudded into her chest.

"OUUGH!" she blurted, tumbling backwards, straight into the ropes where she was sprung forwards and sent sprawling on her front. She tried to battle back to all fours before Joyce could keep up her offence...

[Joyce_Hilda]

With Gabi still on her fours, Joyce went to her back and wrapped her hands around her waist, then rolled around in the match, taking her balance away, and then she squeezed her hold around Gabi's belly, and after that, squeezed a hold around her neck.

[arktriumph]

On all fours, Gabi was too slow to stop Joyce from following up despite her escape from the pin. She felt her opponent's arms around her waist and then suddenly was rolled over, finding herself on top of Joyce with her back to the other woman.

She gasped for air as a tight squeeze was applied to her midsection, but before she could do anything to counter that, Joyce swiftly changed her grip and clamped her arms around Gabi's neck.

"Grrghh!" Gabi blurted as she grabbed at Joyce's wrists, trying to peel the other woman's chokehold open.

[Joyce_Hilda]

Joyce kept her choke hold accross Gabi's neck, squeezing tighter and tighter. The ref, noticing Gabi was in visible trouble, went to check her status.

"Give up?"

[arktriumph]

Gabi coughed for breath as she tried to escape from Joyce's chokehold, but for the moment her foe was holding on tightly. The ref asked if she wanted to give but she shook her head, her cheeks going red as she tried to breathe.

She tried to push backwards using her legs, hoping to push Joyce off balance and force the other woman to break the hold.

[Joyce_Hilda]

It was quick, it was short, but that burst of Gabi was enough to make Joyce lose balance and release her opponent. Noticing what just happened, Joyce rolled back to her feet as quick as possible.

[arktriumph]

Gabi did enough to put Joyce off balance, forcing the woman to release her chokehold, but it still left the Young Canadian spluttering for breath. She staggered, massaging her throat for a moment before turning unsteadily to face Joyce again.

Gritting her teeth, Gabi tried to keep her composure as she circled carefully, trying to buy time and get her breath back before the two Young Lionesses clashed again.
