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.

[Heather's not afraid of heights, not any more or less than your average person. But that doesn't mean she likes being dangled over a high drop, even if she DOES know she'll be caught if she falls.]

[So she clings on, grimly. And THAT is something that she happens to be very good at. You're looking at the monkey-bars champion of fifth grade, pal.]

[Gritting her teeth at Ironhide over her own arms, she growls.]</sub>

Gonna have to do more than just stand there, old man. I can do this all day.

[He sighs. His attention is turned to the drop. And the general area around them. He doesn't look at her.]

Very well.

[And then he shakes his arm.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Awesome. Motion!]

[There's absolutely no chance of her winning this fight. But she doesn't want to go down without a parting blow. Which is why, when Ironhide starts to shake his arm, she clamps down tighter and uses the motion to aid a forward swing, her legs out.]

[Aiming to land a blow with both feet in the middle of Ironhide's chest.]

[She'll probably lose her grip and fall for good in the process, and it's doubtful she'll actually do any damage-- but it's more to make a stubborn little point than anything else.]</sub>

[show_my_cannons]

[He lets her hit him. It's going to bruise, and it makes him stagger a little.]

[And then he uses her own backswing to toss her off his arm. She'll land safely enough.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[AAAAH FALLING-- no, okay, fight's over. She can live with that conclusion. Getting a parting blow in soothes her ego a little, even if he had more or less just LET her hit him. There's just something about hitting people that makes Heather feel better about things.]

[She makes it to the ground safely, thanks to the Alakazams. Whew. Well. That was... something.]

[She'll be looking for Ironhide after the tournament's end, though. Because man, if she had to lose, she wants to learn how NOT to in the future. Or ... how not to lose as BADLY, anyway.]</sub>
