Signing himself up for all the different forms of battle was a tactic in and of itself. Just in case a situation called for it, Arceus forbid, Sam wanted to be ready for anything. Controlled environments like battle tournaments was a decent low-stress way to learn new twists and turns to battle.
That, and admittedly, he was beginning to get a kick out of this whole 'trainer' concept. He was starting to see why his mother enjoyed it so very much.
This time around, a double battle. The idea was that his Alolan Vulpix would serve as most of the damage dealing, while his Beldum distracted this opponents and became the center of attention. If he failed in his strategy, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Sam wasn't apathetic in all things-- but in the case of battle, he definitely wasn't about to pitch a fit if he lost.
Losing was the only way somebody could learn how to win. And being that he spent most of his time working, this tournament would teach him a great deal about how to win some battles.
And his Vulpix was raring to go. Beldum? Well, Sam could hardly tell what the metal contraption thought most of the time. But he seemed pleased to be crashing into things, at any rate.
Really he just hoped the damned thing would evolve soon...
Approaching the center, he overheard the referee going over the double battle rules. He turned toward his opponent and gave her a polite smile.
"Good luck." Sportsmanship? Maybe, but mostly, his mother raised him to have good manners. Male, female, young, old. Treat people like people and they'll likely treat you with the same respect. Most of the time. @chloe
