(In all of the kershuffling I remember that I still have the Program. I get a look and then say.)

Should be soon.

*as Jani starts to munch of a couple Mago† berries they have on location, she can't help but blurt out* Ooh, sweet... *before she finishes them off, then she addresses Niles' question*

That's where it gets tricky...our anatomies are a bit different. I mean I think I have arms and legs but they're really stubby on their own which is why I do the dirt method...guess I'm in trouble if I have to fight where there's concrete, huh? *she shakes her head for a moment, realizing she totally went off on a tangent*

Aaaaaanyway, you have arms and legs...or four legs, not sure how you regard them...but, try it on the dummy at full health first. I'll at least try to evaluate how it's going. Try to get a sort of adrenaline rush going, with your fear, frustration, and anger fueling it...

Picked one that wouldn't confuse either of us. :p


*as the Gible Kid is carted into triage, the older Togekiss nurse does a cursory scan of him before sighing, and remarking* Another young'un with something to prove but lacking the common sense to back it up, I take it? *she gestures to the staff that she'll take it from here, before continuing* These amateur tourneys are the worst kind of job security. *she remarks, as she starts taking the Gible Kid's vitals and otherwise gets to tending to him*

I take a quick breath before jumping at the nearest, untouched training dummy, clawing at it and kicking it a couple times. By the time I'm done, I'm panting a little. "Okay… now what?"

I don't understand either. Say what you want but that was just wrong what she did there to that poor kid.

*Jani tries to make sense of what she saw, and decides to play the safe skeptic* Hmm, I wonder. How did you feel, right before you pulled off that flurry?

*the Rhyperior sensei watching off in the distance can only chuckle softly and shake his head, indicating that the first attempt likely didn't work*

*a bunch of other matches occurred in the interim, including Khmalidze and J's (separately) in which they both won, and then Birch announces* Get ready for the final match-up of Round 2 of the Hardcheese Amateur Tournament: Singles Division!!

*cue applause, then Elm chimes in* Our first of the final two contenders is a Torterra, who in his first round proved that slow and steady wins the race. Give a round of applause for: Geographical Menace!


*meanwhile, the Rhyperior sensei looks around for a little wooden carving that looks like an ambiguous cat, and not-so-subtlely flings it over to Jani. She looks over to him, and he simply coughs and nods...Jani eventually gets the message*

That's not good enough...at least, it wasn't for me. *she looks down at the carving of a cat* That carving reminded me of something that in all honesty, fills me with rage... *then looking directly at Niles, she continues* ...and after what he did to Finley, I imagine we have the same bogeyman. I know we haven't really done much in the last few days, but also I know you two are close...

*she looks to the training dummy, continuing* Channel that rage into your attack.

Hey, look guys, a Torterra! (I say, pointing down at the Torterra who just walked out.)

(I quickly decide that Torterra is a Pokémon that really looks awesome in real life. Checking my program, I see that this guy is slated to fight Dana.)

This guy is going to fight Dana...this should be interesting.

As Jani's words hit me, I stand there, staring at the carving. Almost as if I was hypnotized by it. ("Channel that rage…") I take a deep breath and turn back to the dummy. I'm not exactly enraged, but this is certainly a step up from 'mildly irritated.' I rush the dummy like last time, clawing and kicking. I'm not even sure if was any different, but I'm still left catching my breath. Not saying anything, I look at Jani, waiting for a response.

Quite the aura of confidence on this one, Birch. *Elm states, while Birch segues* Absolutely, Elm. His challenger is an Alolan Vulpix whose icy prowess chilled her opponent to the bone in the first round. Give it up for...WHITESHARD!!


*unsure herself, she looks over to the Rhyperior, who gives a satisfied nod. She then turns back* That seemed a lot better. Now here's the tricky part...how do we get you down to critical health? That feels weird saying...I mean, like about to faint, but not fainted. I'm pretty much paper, so that's more or less the strategy I'm married to, but do you have any ideas?

Still panting, I reply to Jani. "Simple. Hit me. A lot." Taking one deep breath, I continue. "My match is over, what does it matter if I get roughed up?"
While this is happening, a Hawlucha enters the dojo and walks over to the Rhyperior. "Hey, Jude. Those kids sure do spend a lot of time here."

Uh...I'll try, I guess. *she looks around, figures that the walls are fairly soft and flexible, which is good for what she's about to do* Err...Earthquake! Just a minor one... *a smaller-than-she's-capable-of crack heads out from her, heading beneath Niles and shaking him up a bit. Jani's pleased that she kept it so well under control, but not certain how much that affected Niles* Feeling it yet?


Ah, Tai! Yeah, those two seem serious about winning this tournament. The Quilava especially... *the Rhyperior remarks to the Hawlucha while pointing* The Diglett, though, she always seems to be in a hurry. That lack of discipline will surely wall her in time...

Dana, who was still in the stands like a dumbass, hears her fighter name and just fucking panics.

"Aaaaah crap I actually did forget the time!" ... And with that she's off.

After the Earthquake, I simply look at Jani and say, "I think you can do better than that. I get that you're trying to hold back, but I need to get hurt here, right?"
Mr. Ando simply replied to Mr. Doe with "Maybe, but that Quilava's not perfect either. Sure, I think he has a lot of promise, but he constantly seems bothered. Distracted."

*Jani sighs, and thinks on it for a moment* How about this, I'll keep a weak earthquake going for awhile and you just tell me when you feel like you're about to faint, okay? *Jani just does that, creating the same kind of earthquake as before, but even weaker, and maintaining it for the equivalent of many turns, waiting for Niles to say something*


*the Rhyperior simply shakes his head and chuckles, then sighs* Ah, to be young again. To be brimming with purpose and conviction, not yet resigned to the dog-eat-dog world we truly live in. *though his look shifts to one more solemn* We can only hope our teachings aren't enticing them both to an early grave...


*meanwhile, in the future* And there she is now, having run all the way from the stands when she could've really gotten away with jumping onstage. Quite the stickler for protocol, it seems!

*Birch launches into the standard opening, albeit slightly modified* The stage is clear, the fighters are pumped! Here it is, the last singles battle of the afternoon! Get ready, get set...IT'S TIME FOR A POKÉÉÉÉÉÉ-BAAAAAAATTLEEEEEEEEE!!!

Dana shows up on the field panting.

"Hey! -pant- The only reason I messed up this time was because I was distracted!"

The air begins to grow cold. A few shards of ice fly at the Torterra.
