What The Luck!?

Chapter 161 - 161. Mud Balls

Louis was understandably angry that Asher had just shouted for someone that he wouldn't be able to shock. The others were also a little stunned that it had just happened, but as they thought about it the same idea started to form. "You don't want Louis to focus on his super power as an advantage. It's like what Garnet told me about using my power to freeze people on the spot."

"Exactly, bonus points to Jane." Asher gave her a high five then turned to Louis. "You super power will be your best asset, but what happens if you get fried like the other day at the obstacle course?"

Louis looked at the ground still unhappy, but he still walked on to the center of the sparring area the group had claimed. "I'll be back soon." His words were barely audible but it was enough for everyone to hear.

Let's go Louis!" Sammy and Laura gave a cheer at the same time trying to get his spirits up. He pulled up the hood to his sweatshirt and ended up trying to hide even more.

"Ground type super power? You want to go against me and my mud armor?" The boy who stepped forward was hardly recognized as a person. They had mud and dirt all over their body and only small patches of skin were seen as the mud constantly shifted.

"Is it just me or does that kid look like he has been living in a swamp?" Art didn't mince words and flat out said what he thought on the spot.

"I think that is just the mud sticking to him for defense. But it doesn't really look like armor…"

Jane was glad she wasn't fighting this kid.

The match began before any of them had realized. "Don't go getting mud in your eye!" The mud covered camper whipped his hand outward sending a mud ball toward Louis.

Louis jumped to the side and watched the mud ball splat on to the ground. "I thought you said that was armor?!"

"Who said I couldn't take it off." The mud covered camper moved forward at a much faster pace taking Louis by surprise. His muddy hand reached out for Louis and managed to grab him around the arm. Instead of staying attached to the camper the mud wrapped around Louis.

"What the heck, get this off!" Louis was panicking and trying to tear the mud away. Unfortunately, he had no control of the mud that was moving to his opponents' will.

Louis kicked out as hard as he could and managed to hit his opponents' side. The mud that had once been there having moved towards his opponent's hand and left a weakness. The mud stayed stuck to Louis but he was able to break it away from his opponent and back up.

"Oh, is it too dry for you? If only you could use water then you wouldn't need to carry this with you." Louis made a show of knocking the mud to the ground. His opponent was visibly annoyed from the hit. He had not been injured by an attack since before he had gotten his evo shot.

Louis's opponent reacted to his taunting with a barrage of thrown mud balls. Louis knew this would happen and let them fall around him with ease. He barely needed to try to dodge them using the small amount of foot work skills that h had learned from the others. It made things too easy.

The fact that Louis had become wise to his attacks and started to dodge made the mud covered opponent much more annoyed. He went to throw another ball of mud but found that he threw nothing. The mud he had on his body was slowly depleted and was now nothing but dusty residue. This is what Louis had wanted.

Louis sidestepped the mud on the ground and finally shook off the mud from his one hand. His opponent had been too distracted and couldn't control the mud he threw away from his body. Without the mud to block Louis's attacks he was a sitting duck. With a quick straight punch, Louis hit the once mud covered camper dead on. The crack of electricity as a large zap left out of Louis's body filled the onlookers' ears.

The opponent jolted away from Louis and fell to the ground completely knocked out. "Pssss sorry…" Luis hissed upon realizing he hadn't dialed back the strength enough now that his opponent wasn't properly armored by the mud. However, he had successfully won his first match and even used his lightning body super power to do it.

Louis walked back still trying to hide his face now that those watching were all shouting about how cool his win had been. Not a single one of them knew about his power except for the few who had witnessed him falling in the mud at the obstacle course. It was safe to say that now he was the talk of the camp for having a cool super power instead of frying the water obstacle.

"Louis, that was greatest! You zapped him even though he could cover himself with mud and insulate himself. It was way better than that kid throwing mud, anyone could do that." Laura was the first to compliment Louis making him shrink further in to his sweatshirt.

"I swear Louis if you don't thank my new best friend Laura for her compliment I am going to send everyone here your baby pictures." Sammy wasn't having it. She and Laura had worked together to cheer for Louis and he was going to be appreciative then he would suffer the consequences.

Louis heard this threat and took it completely to heart. He wasn't going t have the embarrassing baby pictured he knew his mother had taken way too many over shown to all his friends. It would ruin any image he'd created. "Yes, thank you for cheering for me and having faith!"

Asher and Art gave him knowing pats on the back. They knew that the girls in the group were tough cookies and wouldn't let up. But he had done great and they wanted him to know it.
