Description We see Emily in her house, at this time she is only 9 years old. After a long day, she decided to go to sleep early. She dreams about showing off  balancing acts to her friends, but in reality, she cannot do them. In the dream,  she does long headstands. Her friends and family applaud in amazement. Then, she waked from the dream and gets an idea. "Maybe I can try those things I saw in my dream".  Meanwhile, her mother, Reshiram was downstairs relaxing, she was about to take a nap when she heard a thumping sound coming from the upper level. " Huh, what is that sound?". Curious, Reshiram went upstairs and hears it coming from her daughter's room. Emily had planted her head on the floor and was kicking off the floor, trying hard to get her feet into the air. "Honey, what are you doing?" said Reshiram.  Emily fell flat on the floor. "I'm trying to do a headstand" she said. Her mother giggled, "you mean like this?". She leaned her head and wings onto the floor and pushed off with her feet. In result,  her legs and feet were pointing to the ceiling, pressing into the floor with her hands, Reshiram was doing a headstand. " Wow!" said Emily, in excitement. Her mother soon came down from the position and stood on her legs again. "Emily, learning how to do that is really hard", you might hurt yourself". Emily, still excited said, " In that case, can you help me learn? ". Reshiram thought about it,  and then she smiled " Sure, I'll help you". 

Since the cave was not a safe place to practice, Emily and Reshiram decided to head outside in a nearby forest.  "Okay, Emily. Im going to teach you how to do a headstand." said her mother." Soon, Emily and Reshiram were warming up by doing some stretches. After that, Reshiram went into a kneeling position. "OK, first, you get on all fours", then she drew a diagram of her hands to the sides 90 degrees and her head at the top, resembling a triangle. " Place yours palms shoulder width apart, imagine a triangle where your wings make the bottom corners, and your head makes the top corner ". She then placed the crown of her head on the ground. " Don't have your wings spread out, keep them at a right angle. ". " Got it" said Emily, watching.  Reshiram then lifted her hips into a v-shape. She then placed one knee on her elbow, then the other. "Be sure you can... *grunt* hold this for fifteen seconds." Then she slowly lifted her legs up to the sky. She had a slight instability, but it soon faded. Emily was impressed. Soon, Reshiram came down and smiled at her daughter. "Ready to give it a try?" said Reshiram. "Oh, yes!" said Emily, excitedly. "Now Emily, I'll be supporting your back and legs, don't worry, you're not gonna fall". She tried to do what her mother did. " HRRRN! This is really... UMPH! hard" said Emily, knees on her elbows. She was wobbling, trying to keep her balance. "I know its hard, sweetie. But you can do it". She grunted,  gritting her teeth. Then, pressing her wings into the ground, she very slowly lifted her legs up, her mother supported them to make sure she was stable. After holding it for about 30 seconds, Emily came down. They did this until Reshiram decided that she was ready to try on her own. " Emily, I want you to do it again, but this time, when you have your legs fully extended, I'm going to let go of your legs and see if you can balance on your own." "Don't worry, I'll be here if you feel like you're gonna fall". 

Reshiram got ready to spot her daughter, and soon Emily was back in the headstand, her mother supporting her legs. " Okay, I'm letting go now" called Reshiram. Very slowly, she let go of Emily's legs. That's when things didn't go well for Emily.  As soon as she let go, Emily began to sway her legs left and right. "Ummph! Hrrrn!! This is harder than it looks... *Mnnn!". Emily was starting to feel wobbly. "You can do it, Emily!, I know you can" said Reshiram. She tried very hard to keep balanced, but then she felt like she was going to fall. "Uh oh" said Emily.  Soon, she lost her balance, " Whoaaah!" she said, toppling to the ground. "Hey, not bad for a first time" said Reshiram. "Thanks", said Emily.  Soon, they did this routine a couple of times. Each time she tried it, she swayed and wobbled less, but she still fell down. Then, during an attempt when Reshiram let go, Emily didn't wobble. Her feet were pointing straight up, she was doing a full headstand, all on her own.  " Emily! You did it!" said her mother. "Wow!" said Emily, who then tried to do a midair split.  "Um, Emily? I think you better not show off too much". Said Reshiram. " Why?" said Emily. Then, she lost her balance and fell on her back. "That's why" said her mother. Emily recovered from her fall and stood up. Then, Reshiram hugged her daughter in her arms. "I'm so proud of you, sweetie". " Thank, Mom" said Emily, smooching Reshiram's cheek. But Emily was walking very strange. "Is something the matter?" asked Reshiram. "No, just really dizzy" said Emily. Reshiram chuckled and led her daughter inside where she took a nap next to her. Emily's dream has come true, and is always really happy.

Very good work. I like stories of characters learning hard skills from their family. Maybe one day you could do a story where a Umbreon teaches her little brother (who's an Eevee) backflips.
