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!

Dante vs. Larry Butz | Elite Cup | Round 1
Sparda the Scizor was a sure choice, being his first Pokemon and all. They formed a hell of a bond and Dante was most proud to pass on his moves to him. Yukimura, the Gyarados he received from Luke turned out to be a handful, but Dante is always up for a challenge. Getting the big guy to cooperate took time, discipline and a couple of whacks over the head, but the sea serpent is pretty much roaring to go. Dante had to keep him in check, but he's not the kind of guy who'll suppress another's passion.
And lastly, Red Queen...Nero's Charizard. He's a damn fine Charizard. Took after his trainer well and got along with Dante easily enough, so of course he'd take the reptile out for a test drive in this tournament.
At the moment, only his Scizor is by his side as he approaches the arena. All eyes are on him and his soon to be opponent...he knew this would be a good one.)
AWWW YEAH.
As he makes it to his designated position, he gets a good luck at his opponent for the first time. He recalls seeing the man over the network once or twice, but he doesn't recall actually talking to him. Judging by his appearance and that badass-looking Scizor with him, he can tell he's in for a good fight.
After sizing up the competition, he gives the man a short wave and a thumbs up.]
Hey man! Ready to do this?
