The Kanto Biregional Tournament: OPEN BATTLES LOG
Who: All participants and their pokemon! (for general mingling, check here)
Where: Vermilion City & surrounding area.
When: Nov 5th to the 22nd, FORWARD- AND BACK- DATING FRIENDLY
Summary: It's the big tournament! Get your battle on!
Rating: PG-13 for poggleman violence.
Log:
Like a good drill sargeant, he's making his rounds. Double-checking and triple-checking, making sure the facilities are spartan. His Gym, his training center, and the local sports arena have all been repurposed for the tourney, their safety equipment ready to activate in the case of Fire Blasts or Earthquakes gone out of control. There's games to play for the little ones come to cheer their parents, sales to be shopped for bored spouses, most of the town's hotels are booked solid. Roark and Brock both came to make sure the fossils were in top shape. All in all, he's pretty pleased with himself.
He's got his speech all laid out, his best suit on (not even camo, Misty had been surprised), all that's left is crossing his fingers for good weather...and good sportsmanship. He thinks about all the newcomers filling out his brackets and stands. Whitney had argued to cut them out of it, saying they were all crazy and mean besides. Surge is reserving judgement.
Raichu bounds up and onto his shoulder, nosing the graying blonde hair at his temple.
"If I wound up in a strange place without you, I'd be pretty lost," he admits softly, reaching up to scratch her behind the ear. She 'chu's gently back.
As he exits the gym, one of his trainers runs up, pauses, salutes and waits.
"The opening ceremonies are ready to start, sir!"
"I'll be over, make sure they're ready for me."
"Sir, yes, sir!"
And off the kid goes again, gangly-limbed Luxio at his heels. Surge makes Raichu walk. It's time to get this show on the road.
Let the games begin!

There seemed to be a sort of fire in Sasuke's eyes when he returned Hiruzen, placing the ball on his belt before he threw out his third and final pokémon.] Ino, Mean Look and Confuse Ray!
[Ino, upon release, screeched at the sharp pain around her, shaking it off and flapping high into the air. Once recovered she dived to get close to Burst, her eyes locked with his and first glowing blue, then purple. It only took a brief few moments for it to be over, since never took long to trap and bewilder her opponents with those once she had eye-contact.]
no subject
Burst's stance straightens right away, and he glances at Riku. With one snap of his trainer's fingers, he tears towards Ino, his mouth open and teeth bared. However, what looks like a regular old Crunch attack changes once sparks start forming around his teeth, and he delivers one electrifying bite to the bat.
Riku flashes his Pokémon a thumbs up.]
no subject
[For an instant, there was genuine worry on his face. No out of the desire to win, but out of concern for his pokémon. He hadn't seen if she had managed to...
As if to interrupt his thoughts, Ino wriggled and shrieked after having swallowed something. The sparks from the attack broke off of her the moment she was done and she locked eyes with Burst, using her hypnotic eyes to confuse him again before finally breaking free. She was breathing hard, but it seemed like she was still full of energy. The sight was enough to calm Sasuke a bit.]
WE'VE SEEN SOME INCREDIBLE BERRY USAGE THIS TOURNAMENT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BUT NOTHING AS OVER THE TOP AS THIS LAST ROUND! THE BERRIES USED TO CLEAR STATUSES AND REDUCE DAMAGE COULD ONLY HAVE BEEN PLACED BY SOME OF THE BEST! WHAT AMAZING STRATEGY!
[Sasuke, however, didn't seem as pleased. That was supposed to be used to counter Gigabyte. He hadn't counted on Burst knowing Thunder Fang... Now he had to be extremely careful as he felt his chances of victory quickly slipping away. But at least now that move would work for him.]
Acrobatics!
no subject
This'll be a close call. If Burst can shake off his confusion or at least land some hits, maybe he can finish this without sending out Giga. If not, there's one fully healed Porygon2 waiting to send sparks flying.]
no subject
Cross poison!
[He had only discovered that Ino knew that move recently, but he needed Ino to hit one of Burst's weak spots to end it. He still had Gigabyte to worry about too... Ino tensed, a vivid purple cross appearing across her wings before she charged directly into Burst, fierce determination behind her action.]
no subject
With a growl, Burst prepares another attack, only to-- OOF! Hurt himself in confusion. Care to try again?]
no subject
[Apparently not. Sasuke was determined to make Burst faint, and he was going to try whatever he could to manage it. Ino performed the move with ease, but she was sweating. She was getting tired from the effort going into battling Burst. Just how much health did that Arcanine even have?!]
no subject
One more Acrobatics will push him to his limit. If he hits himself in confusion, it's all over, except...
Burst shakes it off after nailing himself. His eyes narrow, and he lowers his head. Give him your best shot, bat!]
no subject
One more time!
[Ino flew towards him again at top speed, but a slight shift was enough for the move to miss. Startled that her wings hadn't made contact, she turned as if to try again. But, by then, she was far too close to Burst to gain the speed needed to attack, or to get away.]
no subject
CHOMP!
Another Thunder Fang, his last attempt at a KO. Riku heaves an audible sigh as his Arcanine bites down.
Talk about a close call.]
no subject
Still, once the battle had ended, he felt cold. He had lost.
His eyes fell to the ball in his hand before he shrank it and put it away. It was then that he started to leave, knowing he had to take his pokémon to the center before anything else and only numbly hearing the announcer.]
CROBAT HAS FAINTED! ARCANINE HAS TAKEN THE BATTLE AND THE MATCH FOR HIS TRAINER, ADVANCING HIM TO THE FINALS! WHAT A STUNNING BATTLE WE'VE BEEN TREATED TO TODAY!
no subject
For a few seconds, he just stands there, watching Sasuke with a frown. He'd come a long way in the tournament, and a loss like that surely stung. So, heaving a sigh, he inches after him.]
Hey. You did a good job back there.
no subject
[He wasn't looking at Riku, focused solely on walking forward. It wouldn't matter what kind of encouragement he had been offered, it didn't change the outcome, that he had failed.]
no subject
So, shaking his head, he quietly slips by. He's probably the least guy Sasuke wants to hear encouragement from, anyway.]
