Written Prompts

Okay! Today would be the day...The day that Split would finally muster up the ability to do Dragon Breath. He worked his way up to this tirelessly; practicing his Roar and Focusing his Energy, and while Biting didn’t exactly help him learn any sort of breathing technique, it sure did keep up his morale to chomp on things whenever he felt frustrated. Which was a lot, considering how now when he thought he was finally ready for a Dragon Breath, when he finally stretched open his mouth and exhaled as fiercely as possible...nothing came out. Not even a wisp.

“Argh!”

He chomped down on his favorite stick, which was covered in divots where his teeth sank into the wood. Bits of bark flaked off into his mouth, causing him to sputter and hiss. Even his favorite stick, which he had been dragging around the Route with him all this time, was frustrating him!

He bit into the stick again and flung it into a nearby stump. To Split’s surprise, the stick was thrown with such force that it snapped in half on impact, splintering around the ground.

“...Woah,” Split murmured, cooling off a bit.

It could have just snapped because he bit it so much, but...Was it just him, or did he feel a bit stronger now?

While Split does not currently know what happened, in the future he will fondly look back on this memory as his first time using the move Work Up to boost his attack abilities.
