[Standard Match] Hidesato Yaone vs Ambre Brault - The first step on a harsh road

[skip-stop]

It would not be an exaggeration to say that when Ambre began to put pressure on the White Peafowl, using all her strength, every spectator was sure that for the white-haired woman this competition would end in defeat. If her back was pressed against the ropes or if she got down on one knee, it would give her opponent an undeniable advantage. Therefore, when Yaone abruptly changed tactics, the audience gasped loudly in surprise.

Wrapping her arms around her opponent's waist, the Japanese woman acted so quickly and gracefully that it earned real admiration. As soon as the body of the Black Pearl crashed into Yaone's, she used her opponent's momentum to lean back and throw Ambre onto the mat, in addition bringing down on her, although not so outstanding, but still considerable weight.

Hearing her rival's painful groan, Yaone could barely contain a smile, because it was proof that she had done everything right. Her successful attack was the foundation for her. And although she was not so naive as to try to pin her rival, she had a clear plan of action. However...

"Oh..." escaped her lips.

To the credit of the Black Pearl, as soon as the first heiress of the Hidesato family rose to her knees and reached for her rival's head, Ambre immediately began to roll to the side. Yes, Yaone was sure that one attack was clearly not enough to cause too much damage to the Frenchwoman, but she was sure that she had at least a few seconds left before Ambre came to her senses.

Well...

Yaone wasn't going to just watch Ambre create distance between them and regain her strength. Therefore, by the time the brown-haired woman had just risen to her knees, the White Peafowl was already on her feet. For one brief second, their gazes crossed. Yaone saw condemnation in Ambre's eyes. It seems that Yaone's actions have hurt her rival's pride. And although on the one hand she understood the Frenchwoman's feelings, she was not going to make excuses for what she had done. She had known from the beginning that Ambre was superior to her in pure physical strength and she wasn't going to deny it. Ambre used her strongest side, and Yaone used her own. That's all.

The first heiress of the Hidesato family rushed forward, rapidly closing the distance between them. And when she and her opponent were no more than two steps apart, she forcefully pushed off the mat in order to throw both legs forward and hit Ambre in the head with a low dropkick. Given that the Black Pearl did not appear to be badly damaged by the suplex, the white-haired woman assumed that she could cover her head with her hands in an attempt to protect herself. This option suited the White Peafowl because in the first place she just wanted to push her opponent with enough force to move her closer to the ropes.

[Bearhug Goddess]

Now kneeling on the mat after being thrown onto the mat, Ambre could finally exhale the air she had in her lungs to take a new breath while looking at her opponent with slightly furrowed eyebrows. Yaone had probably betrayed her in this showdown but it was normal given her fighting style and she was going to lose if she continued to play this game.

“Uuuuf..”

The Black Pearl pulled herself up to stand staring at her opponent and could see her opponent lunging at her at full speed. Ambre was slower than her opponent but could guess the kind of attack that awaited her. Yaone was weaker muscularly and Ambre was sure that her opponent was not going to try to pin her to the ground with a spear or lift her. It was going to be a strike but what kind?

Ambre didn't have time to think about that, the White Peafowl was arriving quickly and the easiest thing would be to guard a part of her body... Her bust for example! This is where she was most likely to receive blows, so the French woman crossed her arms in front of her chest to protect them but the Japanese woman jumped into the air, rather high. Yaone jumped high enough to Low Dropkick Ambre's face even though the two women were almost the same height.

“GAH?!..”

Guarding Ambre was of no use, it was even more restrictive for what would happen next. Ambre took the Dropkick head-on, took a step back before losing her balance and falling to the ground without even being able to break the fall with her hands because they were still at the level of her chest. This match was starting to get difficult, it had barely started and Ambre was already on the ground twice...

[skip-stop]

Slowing down wasn't what Yaone wanted. She was certainly impressed by the fact that her opponent didn't lose her concentration after she was on the mat and quickly created a distance between them. Obviously, the Black Pearl was well aware of the white-haired woman's skills and therefore tried to keep a safe distance. The first heiress of the Hidesato family assessed her rival's ability to analyze the situation.

This once again confirmed that the White Peafowl had no right to hold back and slow down. Using her speed, she rushed towards the brown-haired woman even though Ambre had already started to get to her feet. In this situation, she was not satisfied with only one possible option, because if the Black Pearl dodged her attack, she would surely lose her pace. However, she hoped that her speed would be enough so that Ambre would not have time to react in time.

And this plan worked, and even much better than Yaone had hoped. When she pushed off the mat and threw both legs forward, her opponent raised her arms to protect her chest, while the white-haired woman aimed at her opponent's head. Both of her feet slammed into Ambre's face, causing the Frenchwoman to fall back with a painful cry.

The ring shuddered as Ambre collapsed onto the mat. And although Yaone also ended up on the mat after her attack, there is no doubt that this fall was much more painful for her opponent. Someone would probably call it a success for the White Peafowl, but this time Yaone didn't even smile, keeping her cool.

Literally a second after she was on the mat, she pushed off with her hands in order to get up on one knee. Despite her rather young age, she has long learned to draw conclusions from every little thing. That's why she didn't relax after the successful attack. And that's why she immediately ran forward, because from the very beginning her goal was not just to cause damage to the Black Pearl, but to bring her closer to the ropes.

"Faster!" The white-haired woman commanded herself mentally.

Yaone intended to run past the Frenchwoman and grab the top rope. Trying not to lose speed, she was going to push off the mat and jump up in order to put both feet on the middle rope and bounce off it. Yes, of course, close contact was the basis of her style, but it was far from the only thing she could do. That's what she wanted to demonstrate. The White Peafowl intended to soar into the air, at the same time throwing her legs back in order to take a horizontal position. She hoped her dropkick had stunned Ambre hard enough because right now she was going to crush her opponent with a slingshot splash!

[Bearhug Goddess]

These last seconds were really poorly calculated on the part of the Frenchwoman who did not expect her opponent to be able to jump so high! This cost her a powerful blow to the face, a blow powerful enough to knock her backwards until she fell to the ground, sighing in pain and a little dizzy from the blow.

Ambre was having a bad time since the strength test had just ended but the match was still in its early stages, the pain was not great enough and her will to fight was still intact. Although finding herself on the ground several times at the start of the match was rather humiliating, it was something to be expected as she was significantly slower and less technical than her opponent. Besides, she knew that Yaone was not going to let her recover and get up quietly and the Black Pearl kept her eye on her opponent.

Yaone didn't attack her, she preferred to do something more rewarding and impressive using the ropes, her speed and their positions to her advantage. The Black Pearl saw all this while still lying down and she was ready to receive her opponent, she knew how to welcome her and finally be able to impose her style in this match. The Frenchwoman was not very durable when the matches dragged on but could recover easily after receiving blows, she knew how to win at the start of the match despite a bad start to dominate the rest of the match.

After having regained enough strength, Ambre did not get up to find herself on her feet as quickly as possible but she waited. She was patiently waiting for Yaone to jump towards her to execute her Slingshot Splash so she could raise her knees to her level and slightly raise them to be sure that her opponent takes them head-on, occasionally on the stomach. Getting up and attacking would be more tiring than letting your prey throw themselves into the wolf's den with a simple counter.

[skip-stop]

Yaone was under a surge of inspiration. Yes, she was very surprised by the fact that after the suplex, her opponent was able to move so fast as if the suplex did not exist at all. However, it helped her to conclude that before using a really heavy attack, she needed to stun the Frenchwoman. So after her two boots crashed into Ambre's face, she was sure that this time her opponent would feel at least some consequences.

Besides, Yaone wasn't going to delay. She jumped to her feet the second the Black Pearl fell the mat. Of course, she wasn't the biggest woman in the company, but she was still a heavyweight. Considering this, the audience was quite impressed with how fast she was moving. It didn't take long for the White Peafowl to run past her just-fallen opponent and use the ropes to soar into the air.

Unfortunately, the first heiress of the Hidesato family did not suspect that after the dropkick, Ambre turned out to be almost unharmed again. Perhaps it was a mistake on her part not to think that the Frenchwoman was just lying there waiting for her attack. She was used to being guided by experience, and experience told her that after a dropkick in the face, it would take you some time to come to your senses. Therefore, it was only at the moment when she soared into the air and took a horizontal position that the White Peafowl realized that it was not always worth counting on experience.

"Masaka..." barely audible escaped her lips when she saw her opponent's raised knees.

Being in the air, she had no chance to change her position and the only thing left for her was to strain her abs. She knew for sure that this wouldn't help her much, because physics cannot be deceived, but she was a supporter of the principle that it is better to do at least something than not to do anything at all.

"GUUUUAAAHHHH!!!!!" She screamed a second later.

Yaone fell belly down on the Frenchwoman's knees. Due to the fact that she strained her abs, she retained the ability to breathe and avoided muscle spasm. However, this does not protect her from pain. As soon as she fell from Black Pearl's knees onto the mat, she immediately wrapped her arms around her stomach. And even though the white-haired woman clenched her teeth in order to restrain painful groans, there was pure agony on her face.

[Bearhug Goddess]

If Ambre had a weakness it was her endurance and despite that, Ambre always tried to get up and get back up as quickly as possible at the start of the match to never let her opponent impose her rhythm. This way of fighting had its advantages and its faults, it could take a lot of blows before reaching its goal or even never reach it. Luckily it didn't take too long for Yaone to fall into Ambre's lap, belly first.

It looked like pain and that was confirmed by the loud screams of pain coming from the Japanese wrestler before she fell to the side holding her stomach. Ambre sighed and got up seeing the state of her opponent, noticing in passing that the Japanese was perhaps fast but quite fragile, if she managed to give her the right blows in the right places she would surely be able to achieve victory more easily. than expected, you still had to be able to be as fast as her.

“Mhhhh..”

Ambre took advantage of Yaone's position, who was lying on her stomach with her arms unavailable to protect herself, to sit on the lower back of her opponent before grabbing both of her legs and pulling them towards her, executing a Boston Crab. The Black Pearl did not want to give her opponent a chance to escape, blocking Yaone's thighs under her armpits before moving back to sit towards the center of the Japanese back, trying in the process to keep the arms of Yaone blocked under their two weights to prevent her from moving and reaching the ropes.

[skip-stop]

Yaone did not consider herself fragile, because in that case her tactics would be completely different, namely to do everything possible to avoid any direct collision with her opponent. But no matter how well-trained her body was, nothing could protect her from damage after falling from a height of more than two meters on Ambre's knees. Yes, steel abs helped her keep breathing, but the pain was really terrible.

After she fell off the Frenchwoman's knees, the White Peafowl remained lying face down on the mat. Wrapping her arms around her stomach, she tried to take deep breaths because it was the only thing that could help her somehow ease the pain she felt. At the same time, Yaone caught herself thinking that, apparently, she would have to find a different approach to her opponent if she wanted to keep at least some chance of winning the match.

However, so far she could only dream of the opportunity to fully return to the game. The Black Pearl, full of strength as if the bell had sounded just a second ago, hastened to take advantage of the fact that the first heiress of the Hidesato family was defenseless. In just one move, Ambre landed her butt on Yaone's lower back and then grabbed her ankles.

"Ghhh..." Yone groaned in a strangled voice, because the weight of Ambre began to press her injured stomach hard against the mat.

But, of course, the worst was ahead. The Frenchwoman fixed the ankles of the White Peafowl under her armpits, and then began to pull back the lower part of Yaone's body. Both the leg muscles and the back of the first heiress of the Hidesato family were filled with pain. In addition, Ambre slightly changed the position of her butt, bringing it closer to the middle of Yaone's back, clearly wanting to limit the white-haired woman's ability to move.

"Mmmmhhh!!! MMMMHHH!!!" She continued to groan, breathing heavily.

The only ray of hope for Yaone was the fact that the ropes she had jumped off from a few moments ago were close enough. Even without her brilliant intellect, she would have been able to understand that if she didn't do anything, Ambre would severely damage her muscles and joints. Therefore, the White Peafowl made the only right decision. Huffing and puffing, she concentrated on channeling strength into her arms, and then, fighting both the pain and the weight of the Black Pearl, she began to crawl forward in an attempt to reach the bottom rope.

[Bearhug Goddess]

The Boston Crab was a simple but very effective catch. At this point in the match, Ambre couldn't imagine a better hold than that for several reasons, she could recover her strength and stamina while her opponent was writhing in pain, she could injure the most powerful body part, after her opinion, for a wrestler as fast and technical as Yaone and above all tired her even more than she already was when she tried to move towards the ropes.

It was simply perfect support, Ambre could stay in this position for a long minute until Yaone decided to give up but she was not heavy enough and Yaone was still in good shape to be able to start moving forward, towards the nearest ropes. It was the most obvious thing and Ambre was prepared for it, she was not going to let her opponent grab the ropes so easily.

“Don’t even try !”

She got up, keeping the Japanese girl's legs under her armpits to continue performing her Boston Crab but this time while standing. If her weight wasn't enough to stop Yaone from moving, then she just had to move in the opposite direction and walk, with long, short steps, to reach the center of the ring while maintaining her grip. The grip would still be as painful but more at the hips this time, and the Black Pearl would recover less energy than she should by standing rather than sitting.

Spoiler

[skip-stop]

It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy at all. After the unfortunate fall, Yaone didn't have time to recover and now she was fighting both with her rival's submission hold and with her own weakened condition. However, the first heiress of the Hidesato family was raised in such a way that any difficulty can be overcome if you make enough effort to do that.

Therefore, she didn't consider giving up. Instead, the white-haired woman began her journey to the ropes. The only good news for her was that salvation was not so far away. On the other hand, when it comes to a woman like Ambe on your back... even one meter seems like a mile.

"Ghhh... gfffhhh..."

Panting from the pain in her muscles and joints, the White Peafowl slowly but surely approached the ropes. More than anything, she wanted it all to end because she desperately needed at least some time to rest. Each fighter has their own code, but she hoped that after rope break, the Black Pearl would at least allow her to get back on her feet. With one last effort, Yaone reached for the bottom rope, she even touched it with her fingertips, but...

"AAAAHHHH!!!"

Before she could fully grab the bottom rope, Ambre lifted her butt off the Japanese woman's back and started walking to the center of the ring. Yaone desperately threw her arms forward over and over again, but her resistance did not bear any fruit. As a result, her position deteriorated significantly because now she was as far away from the ropes as possible.

"Kuso!!!" She cursed through clenched teeth.

Ambre did not return her butt to the White Peafowl's back, instead she remained in a standing position. Now Yaone's legs were lifted high into the air, because of this, the pressure had changed and now the muscles of her thighs were suffering for the most part. Someone could have tried to find something positive in this, but for Yaone herself it was just a continuation of the torture.

"Yaone, you give up?"

The referee didn't waste any time. Seeing that the white-haired woman was in no hurry to crawl back to the ropes, she hurried to do her job because she did not want the match to end with injuries that could have been avoided. Yaone understood that the referee was just trying to do her job, but this question angered the first heiress of the Hidesato family to some extent.

"NO!" She growled, momentarily losing control of her emotions.

Crawling back to the ropes was pointless, she knew that. Ambe will damage her muscles and joints faster than she gets there. In addition, the White Peafowl had an assumption that even if she could do it, Ambre would simply return to the center of the ring again. Keeping Yaone in the hold seemed to only restore her opponent's strength despite all the resistance. Yaone needed a different tactic. And so far, she has identified only one option.

The Japanese woman placed both palms near her head and took a deep breath. She directed the force into her arms and abruptly tried to straighten them. Someone could compare it to push-ups, but she wanted to push herself up and back from the mat just one time. Since her legs were high in the air, she hoped that this jerk would be enough for her to change the position of her upper body and end up on her back in front of the Black Pearl. And if she really succeeded, she would try to use her maximum strength to turn to the side and use her legs to throw Ambe away from herself.

[Bearhug Goddess]

Luck seemed to be smiling for the Black Pearl, her decision making was perfect in the last seconds which put her opponent in a rather difficult and painful situation. The Frenchwoman had no problem lifting her opponent's legs and keeping her in her Boston Crab hold, even though standing was more tiring than sitting. She still managed to recover her strength, a good part at least, until the referee intervened to ask Yaone if she wanted to give up.

Even after several tens of seconds in this hold and without any way to reach the ropes, Yaone refused to give up and began to lose patience as she grew angry. Ambre shouldn't feel pity or anything, she had to win this match and make as few mistakes as possible, especially against an opponent as motivated and tough as Yaone. She would find a way out of this on her own, other than using the rope break, and that's what she did in the next few seconds.

“Tsk!”

Ambre was surprised by the rise in power of her opponent who managed to make her take several steps back, rendering her hold useless and forcing her to release the white-haired Japanese woman. She continued to take several steps back after letting go of her opponent and raised her arms slightly to the level of her chest before walking around her opponent to find herself in front of her and greet her rise with a Big Boot on the chest, hoping be faster than her opponent this time.
