Teddy Cat Hori vs. Valley Doll - The Cat Came Back

Japanese crowds were quieter than the American ones Valley had came up in, so when Haley called out her name, she could hear it loud and clear. She had to fight the urge to look at her girlfriend and smile her way, since she couldn't risk taking her eyes off Teddy. Not treating her like a serious competitor almost got her pinned, and that wasn't a mistake she'd repeat.

She threw a quick wave to Haley as she continued to circle, not sparing a single glance. She would understand. Valley hoped she would, anyway.

She broke out of the circle and started to move towards Teddy with her arms up, as if she were going for another tie up. That was only the appearance, though - right before they could connect, Valley dropped her arms, twisted around, and shot out her leg with a spinning heel kick, aimed at the center of Teddy's stomach.

Haley sat down, smiling, eager to see Valley work. It had been a long time since she had gotten to watch her in the ring in person, as opposed to just on the tv screen.

Teddy moved forward, eager to lock up again...until a hard boot to her midsection caught her completely off guard, dropping the pink haired fighter to her knee's and making her gasp, the wind driven out of her from the hard kick!

Valley's leaped back the moment after her kick connected, putting some distance between the two of them and spinning around to face the kneeling Teddy. She whipped her hair around and made sure the crowd could see her growing smile. "That's one."

She took off again as soon as those words left her mouth. Her golden hair streamed behind her as she leaped towards Teddy and got her momentum behind a lightning flash of a roundhouse kick, swinging it right at the side of the Wrestle Angel's head.

Another kick and now Teddy was on the mat, groaning, a large throbbing and pulsing spot where the side of her head was supposed to be.

Rolling over, she pushed herself up, trying to clear her head after that hard kick.

"Nice one!"

Haley yelled, cheering Valley on.

Valley's kick hit hard enough to even make her wince. Teddy took the full brunt of her blow right on the and dropped hard.

"That's two." Valley waited a moment for her opponent to start pushing up, bouncing on her toes with anticipation. She glanced at the ropes, smirked, then went right back into action and ran towards the side of the ring at full steam. She bounced off the ropes, rushed back to Teddy with extra momentum to spend, and used it to flip forward at the exact second before they could collide, rolling in the air and bringing her legs down on the Wrestle Angel's back with a somersault leg drop. Fun move to watch, fun move to do, and it would hammer Teddy into the mat if she could connect.

"GAHH!"

As if the kick to her head, hard enough she was still dazed by it and felt only a stinging sensation on that part of her head, wasn't bad enough, Valley dropped both legs and heels down upon her back, sending Hori's chest crashing down onto the mat while her upper and lower body arched upwards, limbs landing splayed out on the mat.

While far from knocked out, Teddy stayed down for the moment, biting her lip as she tried to deal with the pain of the blow, by far the most painful move she had taken in years.

Valley came down along withTeddy after the crash, landing flat on her butt. She rolled away on her back, landed on her knees, and shot the devil horns high into the air, throwing her hair back as the crowd cheered her on. "And that's three!"

She slid along the mat on her padded knees, closing in fast on the downed Wrestle Angel. That little kicking combination seemed to be taking its toll, and while it was still pretty early for a pinfall, she felt it was worth a shot. Put a little fear into the catgirl's heart.

Valley pushed Teddy onto her back, hooked a leg with both arms, and laid her back down hard on those plush, perky breasts for the pin. The referee dropped down beside them and the audience counted along.

"1...!"

Teddy let out a groan, the first count catching her attention, though she couldn't do anything to stop it.

"2...!"

The second was the same, though the cat lover wasn't out of the fight just yet, no matter how much her back hurt after that blow. With the ref's arm coming up for the third count, Teddy raised her leg and kicked both of them outwards, while throwing her arm up and turning her body enough to get her shoulder off the mat and breaking the pin!

Valley honestly wasn't expecting more than a single count, so when the referee made it all the way to two, she was surprised and a little optimistic - maybe she could cinch an early win, here. It would make for a less-than-stellar match, but a night out with Haley would fix that.

But, as nice an idea as that was, it was moot - Teddy still had some life let in her and made the escape. Valley sat up and held out two fingers as she checked with the ref, just to be sure. Close one, almost had it.

"All right, then." Valley popped up to her feet and turned to Teddy, looming over her and only taking a moment to consider her next move. She reached down and grabbed the defiant catgirl by the head, gripping it tight as she tried to force her back to her feet. Once she was standing, the real fun could begin...

"Nyaa!"

Teddy yelled, being pulled up to her feet by her pink hair. She would have preferred an extra couple seconds to try and get over the sharp pain in her back, but this was a real match, not a spar, and she had to get back into that real fight mindset.

Her scalp burning as she reached her feet, back still hurting, the former WA star threw her arm out, bent, trying to give Valley a couple hard elbows to the stomach to get her to let go!
