Mintpaw's Training(Fighting)

Bluejay padded into the Training Hollow, waiting for Mintpaw to come up through the undergrowth.

Mintpaw padded over, dipping her head to her mentor. "Ready." She mewed.

"Show me what you can do. Try your best, and attack me. Just use your instincts." he said. He smiled, then crouched, ears flicking.

Mintpaw blinked, tilting her head. She pictured the fight in her mind...

Mintpaw launched forward, looking as if trying to do a Belly-rake but failing miserably and slumping onto the ground, as she had never learned it yet...

Bluejay stood, then sat. "Good. You did your best, Mintpaw. It was good for your first time." he assured, nodding. "Now, try the Front Paw Blow." he said, swiping his paw at the air.

Mintpaw copied him, this being easier. She eventually pulled it off flawlessly.

Bluejay smiled widely. "Good! Now, let's see you try the Front Paw Strike. It's the same as a Front Paw Blow, just with more power and speed." he said, lashing out his paw at a bush. It gave a loud rattling sound, and leaves fell off of it. The swipe was quick and powerful.

Mintpaw nodded, lashing a quick, focused paw at the bush, leaving it rattling.

"That was great!" Bluejay cheered, a large grin spreading across his face. "Good." then, a sly grin took place of his joyful run. He turned tail and bounded away into the bushes, as if retreating.

Mintpaw blinked, confused, then curiously began to follow him.

As Mintpaw got a little closer, he bolted out of the bushes, barreling into her half force. He pinned her easily. "Lightning Strike. A move only ThunderClan cats know. And that's how it's done." he said, stepping off his should-be-winded apprentice.

Mintpaw shook her pelt, getting to her paws. "Cool." She purred. "Can I try it on you?"
