Log:
It’s a slightly rainy day in Johto, but that’s not going to stop the excitement that seem 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 first ever Johto Fighting Tournament!” she shouts into the mike, making the crowd goes wild. “Competitors from all over the region 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, 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. 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.

More than one part of her had to appreciate having a strong opponent, and Makoto would have grinned-- but this fight required all her concentration, and she couldn't afford to do more than smile grimly. She released the staff in time to pivot away from his kick, but she took advantage of the brief opening to leap up and drive a knee at his chin. She was so used to twists and flips in midair that it was second nature to turn sharply and aim a kick with her other leg, just in case he blocked the first.

... She might have momentarily forgotten about the automail.

Ed brought up his right arm (the automail one) to block the attack to his face. If Makoto followed through on the follow-up kick, he would be able to block it, and dodging would be pretty difficult at best.

She was no stranger to pain in fights, but none of her opponents had metal body parts-- a fact that Makoto remembered all too late when her leg met automail. Releasing an undignified yelp of pain, she immediately tried to jerk back.

Which really wasn't all that easy when you attempted to do so before actually landing.

Ed took his chance. He jumped up and twisted his body to give Makoto a good strong kick in the gut while her defenses were down.

It succeeded, much to her chagrin. She bit back the cry of pain this time, but it did send her flying backwards, back crashing to the floor. Even through the haze of pain, she still rolled and struggled to her feet-- and staggered when her knee almost buckled.

Wow, metal really did hurt.
