Grand Fighting Tournament

Who:  OPEN to all
Where: Goldenrod National Park
When: Early morning October 4
Summary: Many have entered but only one will take the title.
Rating: T for violence

Log:
It’s a rainy day in Johto, but that’s not going to stop the excitement that seems to have taken over the park. In the center of the park, there are five floating octagon-shaped platforms that being held up by Alakazams. Around the edges of the park there are tarp shielding the bustling crowds from the drizzle. Several big screen TVs can be seen all over the place.

The main park doors up and a redheaded woman step out. The crowds goes silent as she approaches the middle platform hovering above the water fountain. Once she gets close enough, one of the Alakazams picks her up using psychic. As she lands, she pulls out a microphone out of her pocket and addresses to the crowd.

“Hey folks, this is your lovely DJ Mary of the Radio Tower. Welcome to the Grand Fighting Tournament!” she shouts into the mike, making the crowd goes wild. “Competitors from all over the both regions have come to prove their might but only one will be the Champion. This event will not only be witnessed here in great city of Goldernrod but is also being broadcast to all of Johto and Kanto, so you can’t say you missed any of the action! The rules of the tournament are simple, folks. There are two ways to win.”

Mary raises her free hand up, showing two fingers.

“One is by knocking out your opponent, and the other is by knocking them OFF the platform. Don’t worry, guys, these awesome Alakazams will be here to float you down if you fall off. Now, enough talk.  This time around we have special prizes for all that compete this year. Not only will the champion and those in second and first place be getting trophy.  They’ll also receive special badge as wells.  These each one bares the fighting symbol! Glittering examples of those that have top the completion to wear for all to see!  “

She points to the big screen where all three badges are briefly displayed.

“Alright enough talk let’s get this tournament started. Bring out the contestants!”

Mary is floated off the stage just as the doors open again and the competitors come out.

[{A. Before her match }

It's some time before the tournament starts and Cassie is wandering the crowd to see whose here participating in the matches. She's seen the match up's so she knows when she's up, but scoping out the competition isn't a bad idea anyway, right? She's absolutely confident that she'll make it to the second round (Spoiler: She won't). She's also looking for some familiar faces since she knows that Dick, Kushina and her family, Kuwabara, and some others she's met or seen around the network will be here.

Feel free to approach for some friendly conversation, friendly (or unfriendly) trash talk (Spoiler: SHE'S KINDA BAD AT IT), or just to see who you might be dealing with.

{B. After her match }

She's taking it a little hard, but Cassie is the sort that bounces back fast. You'll find her in the hallway either having just left the locker room or on her way to join the general audience. Conciliatory conversation is welcome, and if you're a fighter in the competition then odds are good she'll be up for making friendly and agreeing to stay in touch.

More friendly rivals and sparring partners are ALWAYS welcome.]
blazekick: (+ Naga | Questioning)

A?

[personal profile] blazekick 2013-10-06 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Surprise, Cassie, this girl is doing the same thing. Seeing who she might be up against after she wins her first match. Of course she'll win it, she'll go to the top and win the whole thing -- or if someone wins her, the person better win the whole tournament!

She sees a girl, who she hasn't met yet, so it's time to approach. Not that she has any idea of what to say, but she'll think of something.]


So, who is your first opponent? [That's a start!]
blundergirl: that's what you are to me (♥ » A friend for life)

A!

[personal profile] blundergirl 2013-10-09 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, hey, a new face! Though she'd seen this one in passing upon arriving here. She flashes a friendly grin.]

Someone named Jin. I haven't met them yet, though. What about you?
ghostpepper: (awesome!)

A!

[personal profile] ghostpepper 2013-10-07 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Looking for a familiar face? Well, Kushina is on her way out of the locker room and just going for a walk around. Nerves? What are those. She's excited and looking forward to the match. The walk's just to keep her moving before her match. There will be plenty of time to sit later.

And as she roams around, she thinks she recognizes blonde hair. As she gets closer, hey, what do you know, it is Cassie.
]

Hey! Cassie!
blundergirl: (♥ » Aww Cassie baby is happy!)

A is for AWWWW YEAH!

[personal profile] blundergirl 2013-10-09 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Kushina! Hey! [Not that she's surprised, exactly, she fully expected to see her here when she heard about it. Still.

Hopefully she's excited enough about the tournament that her disappointment that Tim can't be here for it isn't obvious.]


I knew there was no way you'd miss this. And I saw that you got paired off against Minato, first round?
ghostpepper: (aw yeah beat 'em up baby)

A is for ALL THE AWESOMENESS

[personal profile] ghostpepper 2013-10-10 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
You bet I wouldn't miss this! And yeah, we couldn't believe it, but we're gonna have a great match! Do you know the person you got matched against for the first round? I didn't recognize the name.

[If she was disappointed, Kushina missed it. There's too much to be excited over. >__>]
blundergirl: (♥ » Loving it!)

ALL OF IT. >D

[personal profile] blundergirl 2013-10-11 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be sure not to miss it. I'm already psyched just thinking about it! [She laughs a little, genuinely giddy about the buzz around the place if nothing else.]

But I don't recognize the name either. That just means I'll have to be on my toes, right? [Optimistic attitude FTW. And a grin to go with it.]

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-10-05 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[And in this corner, we have Yusuke Urameshi, clad in a comfortable, loose-fitting outfit and ready to kick some ass! He's a little dinged up from his last match, and more than a little soggy from being out in that rain, but by God, does he look like he's full of energy. Those passing through the hallways will catch him doing a couple stretches and some very, ah, enthusiastic shadow boxing in preparation for his next fight. Don't worry - he's not gonna punch you in the face if you approach him. He may, however, engage in a bit of shit-talking if you and him are set to fight. Gotta get in the spirit of competition, right?]
blazekick: (Smug)

[personal profile] blazekick 2013-10-06 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh hey, it's the Let's kick the door in and force the doc to get us out of this world - guy. Granted, it's been ages from the day she met him but some meetings just stay in her mind.]

Can't wait for the next match? [She can't either, and she's still full of energy behind that smirk.] Careful, you might accidentally punch someone if you keep boxing with shadows.

[Then again, the someone might punch him right back because this is a fighting tournament after all so it's not really a problem here. And it's not like she hasn't been shadow boxing too whenever no one else has been around.]

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-10-09 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, he knows you! It takes Yusuke a moment after he's paused in the middle of his punchin' to attend to the girl who just approached him before he actually manages to place where he's seen her before, but once he finally does, his face lights up with recognition and he grins. Oh yeah, she's the girl who helped him break into Professor Elm's lab back when he first showed up here! Good times, good times.]

Yeah, well, if they don't like it, they're free to come at me. I could use the warm-up.

[You cheeky shit. Yusuke straightens up and absently adjusts his wristbands as he continues speaking.]

So hey, long time no see, right? What's it been, like nine months?

[... damn, he's been here for a long time. Much longer than he thought he'd be here, even. That isn't exactly a pleasant realization, but fortunately, he's in too good of a mood from the tournament for it to bring him down. Rest assured that he'll probably get pissed off about it later, though! He's flattered that you want him to stick around, Pokemon world, but dammit, he's got shit he needs to do back home. Let him go already.]
blazekick: (Yeah uh sure?)

1/2

[personal profile] blazekick 2013-10-09 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Good times indeed and glad to be someone rememberable. She grins right back at him.]

Then maybe you should accidentally try aiming at them instead of the shadows.

[She's kidding, mostly. Though she could probably use a warm-up too, but she can mention that later.]
blazekick: (This place is unbelievable)

2/2

[personal profile] blazekick 2013-10-09 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[...Nine months, ok-- Nine. Nine. NINE?! Ooooops, she actually hadn't realized that either.]

I -- Maybe, I guess. I haven't really counted the time I've been here, but if you say so.

[She has all the things to do back home too, but then there's also the bending away taking monster? Yeah. Not so sure she wants to go back to that soon. But uh, there's also Naga and all the people. It's not like she chose to come here anyway, so it's not like she's running away from it on this free vacation. No, honestly, she should go stop that monster, and she's been here for nine months without realizing it at all? Wow.]

What have you been doing? [For nine months.]
Edited 2013-10-09 01:28 (UTC)

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-10-11 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Whoops. Looks like he caught her a little off-guard with that number. Yusuke, surprisingly enough, has been keeping track of the amount of time that's passed, but not nearly as diligently (or as furiously) as he did during his first couple of months here; truth be told, he's actually starting to get used to being here, which will undoubtedly be yet another thing he'll feel weird and frustrated about when he thinks of it later. Until then, though, he's focused on doing his best to win this tournament - as well as on catching up with his Trespassing Buddy. Have a shrug, Korra.]

Oh, y'know, just... hanging out, siccing my monsters on other peoples' monsters, scraping animal shit off the bottom of my shoes. The usual.

[... says he, as casually as if he were describing the weather. Looks like somebody's not done being cheeky just yet.]

What about you? You done anything like, uh, get badges or whatever?
usedacrobatics: (they don't understand)

[personal profile] usedacrobatics 2013-10-09 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shadow boxing. That's incredibly cute.

Having come back to snag some water after his first, satisfying but anticlimactic win, he just shakes his head.]


You want to take your friend out in front of the crowd?

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-10-14 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Your face is incredibly cute.

Anyway, geez, he sure is running into a lot of people he hasn't seen in a while today, isn't he? Had Dick approached him in any other way, Yusuke probably would've said "hey, what up" and offered him kudos on behalf of what he reckoned was the entire world for flattening Lieutenant Blake earlier - alas, however, Dick has approached him in a smart-alecky manner, which naturally means that Yusuke has to be smart-alecky right back. He'll just be wiping his brow with the back of his arm and giving you a bit of a dry look now, thanks, Dick.]


You wanna be a little more vague?
usedacrobatics: (way wrong)

[personal profile] usedacrobatics 2013-10-16 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Damn straight it is.]

Love to, but I figure you'd have trouble with it.

Take it from me-- it's more fun when they fight back.

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-10-19 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ooh, sick burn, buddy. Under ordinary circumstances, that remark probably would have gotten on Yusuke's nerves; as it is, he's in such a good mood from the tournament that the swipe at his intelligence elicits a snort and a little smirk rather than anger.]

Yeah, tell me something I don't know. I dunno if you were paying attention or not, but I did just win a match. I'm just making sure I stay warmed up 'til my next one.

Hey, speaking of which, how was it? Beating Lieutenant Blake's face in, I mean. From where I was sitting, it looked like you made him eat his own beard.
usedacrobatics: (pretty fly)

[personal profile] usedacrobatics 2013-10-20 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Beat.]

Hope he choked on it.

[He rolls his shoulders and grins.]

If anyone needs to warm up here, it's me. At least you got an actual fight.

[The "kid" comments sting. Months he's been trying to get Batman and the League to see him as an equal, not "the little sidekick that could." One step forward, two steps back, three steps forward... it's been like that. He gets underestimated a lot. It gets old.]

[personal profile] angerpoints 2013-10-22 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Teenage superhero problems. Maybe they should form a support group, if Yusuke ever finds out that Dick's not just a guy who's obviously taken gymnastics.]

Well, hey, if you're feeling that deprived, I'd be up for a quick spar. Like you said, it's a lot more fun if the guy you're hitting can hit back. 'sides, it's been a while since we last fought. I'm assuming you've improved a little since then.

[KIDDING. He's just kidding. His "taking the piss out of people" game is strong today, what can I say.]
usedacrobatics: (sugar rush)

[personal profile] usedacrobatics 2013-10-24 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[If only. A team of allies would be a useful thing.]

I'm... tempted. I don't really like being dissed for being a kid.

[He laughs.] Maybe not that much, although I'm trying to keep up with my team. I've been preoccupied.

[Girlfriend. :D]
staystraught: (water)

[personal profile] staystraught 2013-10-05 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ ((Can be before or after any match, it's up to you!))

And being at his peak for every performance -- match -- it was the same thing to him -- was among his top priorities. Drinking enough water to stay hydrated, but not too much to make himself ill. Balance.

Of course, this is sort of solved by pouring a little bit into his palm and just splashing it across his face.]


There's more in the cooler.

[He says it, not really looking up, but not wanting to be unfriendly, either. Sportsmanship, right? It's a quality he needs a practice in, but...]
