It’s hot. Even for Hoenn. Today was the kind of afternoon where most sane people would be huddled under the shade of a tree or glued in front of an AC somewhere.[break][break]

But not Angelo. And not the other crazy crowd of Hoenn Star Tournament competitors that had seemingly been dragged out of every nook and cranny. [break][break]

As the sun beats down, perspiration tickling against his tanned skin, he swipes at his forehead with the back of his hand and licks his dry lips. Angelo is standing in the middle of crudely formed baseball pitch, toe of his shoe digging impatiently into the grit on the pitcher’s mound. He absentmindedly flicks the white, leather ball up and down in his palm, waiting. [break][break]

Dotted around the field are three of his pokemon. One standing vigilant, another looking in all manners of distracted directions and the last laying on the ground; unmotivated, not dead. Although Angelo hadn't checked. [break][break]

Hey. You ready to go over there?” He calls out to the rival team, punctuating his question with a catch of the baseball that slaps satisfyingly against his sweaty palm. “Any longer and I think my birds are gonna end up beyond well done.

I'm addicted to the panic
Amor didn't know how people played this game is such an unbearable heat, though he had changed his outfit a little bit. Cargo shorts, and a T-shirt adorned his frame, and he had three of his Pokemon lined up ready to go bat. It was an interesting type of battle, though it wasn't really a battle at all. It was a game, but he had wanted to play it, it was unorthodox to say the least, but he didn't really care. Draco, Vilu, and Tismet all stood at the ready. Of course it was simple they just had to hit the ball as hard as they could, and make it to home plate before the others could catch up to them. Their umpire, the one catching the ball was a Machamp that was supplied by a third non participating clerk, or NPC, as the man called himself.

"Yeah I'm ready...Vilu you're up first! Show them what you got!" He cheered his Pokemon on as the Sceptile stepped up to the plate, but it wasn't wielding a bat instead the blades on it's arms extended, and began to glow. Staring expectantly at the other trainer as it waited for him to throw the little projectile. Amor had explained what he had to do, and it was going to be easy as the other trainers Pokemon didn't seem all that fast, though he wouldn't know until he saw them in action himself.

"My apologies for the wait." Amor stated to the other trainer, and he leaned against the dugout watching what was about to happen with a sense of amusement. It wasn't a battle so he wouldn't be to upset if he lost, but playing games like this, this tournament was truly throwing him curves every which way now. Though he had to admit it was rather fun. Every day was a new challenge.

It’s fine. Don’t mind him,” he nods towards the Whimsicott, slumped on the ground in a mound of fluff. Aries barely moving, save from having thrown his baseball cap somewhere on the field in protest while they’d waited. “The only thing dead about Aries is his modesty.”[break][break]

Up first to the plate comes a large green lizard for the batting team. [break][break]

Alright, bring it on ya overgrown fir bush!” His lips curl sharp towards the Sceptile in playful banter, squeezing the baseball between both palms. Angelo unabashed as he calls out, readying the throw long honed by tossing pokeballs. “We’ll cut you down to size.” [break][break]

Arm drawn back, he whips the ball forward; spiralling towards Amor’s Sceptile in a blur of white, waiting for the familiar clunk of a strike before… [break][break]

Dodrio! You’re in!” At the summons of his trainer, Dodrio leaps forward to play his part of catcher. AGILITY pushing him to new speeds to race after the ball as it flies through the air, three beaks snapping skyward like chicks reaching for grubs.[break][break]

I'm addicted to the panic
Vilu snorted at the banter of the other human trainer he didn't really care, all that mattered was the fact that he would win this battle, and shut up the trainer that was trying to goad him on. Growling a little as the ball was thrown at him, the blades on his forearms extended hard, and with all the might that he possessed he slammed into the ball with all of his might. Hitting it as hard as he could, it soared into the air trailing a green aura from where he had hit it with the flat edge his Leaf Blade. The moment the ball was heading away from him he began to run, out of all the Pokemon that his trainer possessed he was easily the fastest, at least when he wasn't wearing his weights. Right now he had them all on, two around each wrist, and ankle to keep him at normal speed levels.

Still quicker than average he began to run to each of the small squares around the field just as his trainer had explained in an attempt to get back to where he started so that he could score a point. Dust trailed behind him, and he could see Amor leaning against the dug out, saying something loudly, but he was to far away to hear it.

"Come on Vilu! You got this! Don't let that three headed Dodo catch you!" He roared out to his Sceptile, playing into the friendly banter of the sport that apparently existed. Vilu was rounding second base now, and the Dodrio was rushing into the air at incredible speeds trying to catch the ball before Vilu could make it back to home plate. It was a race to be the fastest, and if Amor had allowed him to take off his weights, he knew that Vilu would be faster, but that was their secret move, they shouldn't use it in a game.

Dodrio surges forward and all Angelo can do is watch as the Sceptile races around the pitch, hitting base after base… [break][break]

Then suddenly there’s a whistle from the side-lines and blue eyes snap towards his bird, the ‘three-headed Dodo’ having caught the baseball in the middle beak. “Good job guys- Oi, knock it off! You all caught it, alright!” Angelo has to quickly jog over to snatch it away as the heads bicker, all of them snapping at the prize as if attempting to steal the glory for themselves. Even though they were the same being. [break][break]

Returning to the pitchers mound, Angelo dusts the projectile off on his trouser leg. It doesn’t look any cleaner. “That’s one to me. Ready for number two?” He asks, readying the ball and a grin for the second throw. It’s launched towards Amor’s second choice of batter, Angelo’s tongue peeking between his lips in concentration as it flies… [break][break]

Sirfetch’d, you’re up!” The white bird gallantly leaps forward, looking to the heavens to try and pinpoint where the ball may fall.

The Dodrio was quicker, and it managed to catch the ball that Vilu had hit, despite him hitting it hard, the bird was able to leap high into the sky, and catch it. Vilu returned to Amor's side, and was moping a little bit, but he pet the reptile on it's crest, and just smiled at him. He had done his best, and that was all Amor could ask for.

"Don't worry about it Vilu...We will have more chances to go." A gentle smile on his lips as he spoke affectionately to his Pokemon, he was about to send out the next one, but when he looked he saw that Tismet was already up at the plate, being impatient since he had lost to that Ledian. Every day Tismet was training, the Kommo-o was going far harder than he usually did, and while it impressed Amor it also worried him a bit. Though when the other man asked if he was ready, and then tossed the ball, Kommo-o took his kata stance, and when the ball was in range he began to strike.

It wasn't just one hit, it was two, three, four, eight, sixteen, and then finally thirty-two hits on the ball as Tismet used Close Combat to annihilate the ball, and send it screeching overhead as hard as he possibly could. The moment his attack had finished he began to rush towards the bases hoping that he had hit it hard enough that the Sir'fetched would have no chance of catching it.

"Go Tismet! Amor cheered on from the sidelines, while Draco, and Vilu both roared on trying to cheer their comrade on as well. How successful it would be had yet to be seen, but every little bit would help, at least they hoped so.

Battle Breakdown: Kommo-o used Close Combat to punch the ball!

Sirfetch’d advances with all the majesty of a medieval jouster, LEAF BLADE stabbing forward as he makes wide (and definitely serious) waddling strides after the ball. Lunging the tip of the blade towards the flying baseball, warped from the pure ferocity that it had been struck with, the white bird would find it bounce right off… [break][break]

Tismet’s strike was too strong, had built far too much velocity… Sirfetch’d proceeds to bow towards the Kommo-O, expression stony in his shattered knightly pride. [break][break]

Damn. Nice punch. Using the ‘hit it till it breaks’ tactic on us, huh?” Angelo purses his lips in a complimentary whistle, wiping the sweat from off his brow with the back of his hand and swallowing the bitter tang of a one-to-one. It meant that he’d have to really make this last throw count, if he wanted his team to step up to the batting plate with one round in their favour… [break][break]

And the last pokemon catching is… Still dozing in the sun. [break][break]

Alright, Aries. Look alive!Literally. Angelo doesn’t give the Whimsicott time to mope, pulling his arm back and swinging forward to pitch the ball in a whirlwind of white towards Amor’s next batter. [break][break]

Aries sighs, getting to his feet half-heartedly…

Amor watched as the Sir'fetched did his best in order to grab the ball, but it's blade was broken into so many pieces by Tismet's powerful fists. And when he rounded the last base, and came back to homeplate he let out a victorious roar. Beaming with pride at his trainer he walked up with his scaled fist, and Amor fist bumped the proud dragon. Obviously it was always a great feeling to have when you succeeded, but it wasn't time for them to relax yet. The score was simply tied, and they wanted to win. So when he called his last Pokemon out to the field Draco stepped up to the plate.

"Yeah Tismet...Tismet gets intense when he gets competitive..." Amor explained as the Martial Dragon stood behind him, and had his arms folded proudly across his chest.

The Dragonite loomed over the plate, and he saw the Whimsicott in the background he wasn't terribly impressed by it, that draconic pride was showing, and when the ball was thrown his way, he wasted no time. His fist was electrically charged already the same way it was, when he fought in battle. And he smashed into the small white orb that was the center of this game, and then sent it soaring out into the field. Draco rarely failed Amor, and he didn't intend to do that here either. Just like Tismet, he wanted to bring his trainer victory no matter what shape or form that took.

So when the ball was soaring through the air, Draco took off using his Extreme Speed in the hopes that he would be to fast for the other Pokemon to react, and catch the ball before he made it back to the plate where he started. Though it was all up to chance, he would do his best.

It doesn’t matter whether the Dragonite uses EXTREME SPEED or not, when its opponent is half-asleep and wholly uninterested. [break][break]

As Draco zooms around the field, Aries idly floats over in the general direction of where the ball flies, his fluffy coat expanding with COTTON GUARD. [break][break]

In a bid to catch it, like an inflatable bubble would cushion a stuntman’s fall? No. He puffs up big, large enough to cover his tiny body and promptly floats by the ball, using it as a blanket for a nap in the shade. Draco gets an easy homerun. [break][break]

Little fucker, Angelo thinks as he watches the grass-fairy settle down for a snooze. [break][break]

--[break][break]

One swap over later and it’s Angelo’s team taking up batting positions. Aries still hasn’t woken up from his snooze and so, eager for redemption, Sirfetch’d takes the plate first.
[break][break]
Alright, Amor! Bring it on!” He calls over to the new pitcher, standing off to the side as his knightly duck takes position to hit the ball. His ‘bat’ the leek he wields, glowing with the grassy energy of LEAF BLADE. Poised and ready to knock it out of the park…

So far they had scored two points thanks to the combined efforts of Tismet, and Draco, and now it was their turn to be out in the field. Vilu wanting to make up for his earlier blunder was out in the field now waiting for his trainer to throw the ball. Now that they had seen all of each others team it would be interesting to see how well that Whimsicott did since it appeared to be incredibly lazy, but that wasn't for Amor to judge. So at the urging of the other trainer Amor threw the ball as hard as he could, but for a Pokemon that wasn't hard enough, and it was swiped by the opposing leaf blade.

When it was hit it soared into the field towards Vilu, who was running hard to catch it, but it was to no avail as the ball simply disappeared over the horizon, and into nothing. There wasn't anything Vilu could do as it was far over his head, and thus he hung his head low as he realized that he had cost his trainer another point. Walking up to Amor, the silver haired trainer just laughed a little, and patted him on the back.

"Don't sweat it buddy, next time you will be much better at this game, so go take a rest until we are done." He told his Sceptile who slunk away seemingly cheered up by his trainers words, and as the Sir'fetched rounded the last corner, and scored a point for the enemy team. Amor sighed a bit, because now the score was tied two to two, but it wouldn't stay that way very long. "Alright Tismet you're up next!" He told the martial dragon who quickly sprinted out to the field, and took his position.

"Alright good luck next batter!" He exclaimed getting a little excited as he chucked the ball at Angelo's next batter, and waiting to see how it turned out.

It’s a good thing that Sirfetch’d hit the ball with a good swing of his LEAF BLADE, because ducks aren’t exactly notorious for running fast. [break][break]

Angelo sticks his thumb and forefinger in his mouth from the side-lines, whistling in encouragement and celebration as the white bird waddles around the bases on awkward webbed feet. “Slow down, Flash. You got this.” It’s a harmless joke, although at who it prods is debateable… [break][break]

Although the Sceptile’s dejected walk of shame is one that softens Angelo’s competitiveness by a fraction. At least Amor knows just what to say to get the grass pokemon looking a little more revitalised again; the effect like watching whisper encouragement for plants to take bloom.[break][break]

Next up, Dodrio takes the stand, although it takes a moment for the three heads to stop bickering with one another and get their focus in sync. When he does, Dodrio jumps into the air like a karate kid, swinging a JUMP KICK roundhouse towards the ball that Amor pitches with speed…

With the score now tied Tismet was going to do his best to get the next pokemon out so that they could rally back. That was the strategy he would knock their opponents down a notch, and then Draco would bring them victory as he so often did. At least that is what he thought, but the moment the Dodrio kicked the ball hard into the air, and sent it soaring straight into the sky it put their strategy in flames as the ball soared high over head, and it was far out of Tismet's grip, not to mention that even if he had managed to catch it that three headed bird was far to fast for him to even attempt to capture, or tag. Groaning at the fact that he had cost them a chance at a lead Tismet left the field slightly dejected, but Amor just smiled at his Dragon, and pat him on the back.

"Hey, it's not over yet, we can still pull this back. So none of you give up." Amor stated simply to them, and at that Tismet nodded, and joined Vilu as his final Pokemon took to the field. His Dragonite. Draco understood that he was needed to tie this up so that they wouldn't lose, and if that is what it took, then so be it. Snorting into the air a little annoyed at the other two, but he wouldn't say that outloud. Amor wouldn't like him being mean to the others.

So when Angelo's final batter took his place at the home plate, it was that Whimsicott, and Amor hoped that it's lazyness would pervade it's ability to play, and so he threw the ball as hard as he could, while Draco waited in the outfield for the ball to come his way, he had already beaten this Whimsicott once, so unless it had some strange move he wasn't aware of, he hoped that he could beat it again.

Dodrio leaves the opposing team in the dust. Literally. His long, speedy legs kicking up grit as he advances across base after base until he’s in the clear. [break][break]

It’s a celebration that quickly dies with a bitter aftertaste on Angelo's tongue. After all, with the Dodrio completing his turn, it meant that there was only one player left to take the batting square. And that particular pokemon is still snoozing…[break][break]

Alright, Aries. Wake up you fluffy, lazy fuc-“ Picking up the Whimsicott, the bubble of cotton stirs with a grumpy grumble but makes little effort to resist as Angelo dumps him into place to face Amor. “You’re up. Let's win this, then we can go home.”[break][break]

With bleary, uninterested eyes, Aries scowls as the other trainer whips the ball towards him and for a moment it almost seems like he wishes for the projectile to collide into his face – to put him in the eternal slumber. [break][break]

But then the winds shift, suddenly and violently. Unpredictably. HURRICANE exploding from the tiny form in an act that’s less in good sportsmanship and more a cruel punishment for those that dared make him play in the first place. [break][break]

But hey, if he hits the ball…

And with that powerful Hurricane it sealed the fate of the game, no matter how fast Draco was, no matter if he could summon his own Hurricane it was pointless because the ball was sent straight up into the air, and with that their chance of victory, or a tie slipped away. Draco just stood dumbfounded as the little cotton ball drifted lazily from base to base, and easily continued until he reached home plate again. Draco just stood there dumbfounded, he had let Amor down, he had cost him a victory, and the Dragonite was visibly upset at his blunder for underestimating what he viewed as an easy opponent. He slowly walked up to his trainer, wings hanging sadly from his back, and looking down at the ground. In all of their battles Draco had rarely lost, perhaps that is why he forgot what this feeling felt like.

Amor seeing how depressed his Dragonite was, just pat him on the back. Vilu, and Tismet gathered around all three of them with their tails drooping, and Amor just laughed a little, and pat each of them on the crest of their heads.

"Guys it's okay, it was just a game, don't take the loss so hard. As long as we had fun that is all that matters, right? So perk up, and let's be sportsman like, and shake their hands. Come on you three." Amor said to his dejected dragons, who nodded, and followed him in a line. Waiting for his opponent to come meet him, he held out his hand with a brilliant smile on his lips. "It was a good game, and it seems my Dragons needed the lesson, so double thank you." He stated to Angelo. "My name is Amor, since we haven't properly introduced ourselves to one another yet." He chuckled a little.

(Angelo wins!)

It’s not quite a smooth sailing victory. Despite the baseball flying off into the distance, a star in the afternoon sky, Angelo near practically has to kick Aries around the pitch until the lazy creature makes the full circuit. It’s a long, arduous task and by the time the Whimsicott idly floats past the last plate, the other members of his team had long since been drained of enthusiasm.[break][break]

Knowing Aries, it was probably intentional. [break][break]

Good game, guys.” Angelo says to his group before trailing off, looking away pointedly from the Whimsicott when a question is posed – he didn’t count. “You all had a good time?”[break][break]

By the time that they make their way over to Amor and his team following their final group huddles, Aries is a snoozing lump underneath one of Angelo’s arm, carried like a toddler who’d been throwing a tantrum. He acts like it’s the most normal thing in the world when he stretches his spare hand out for the other man to shake. [break][break]

They put up a hell of a fight, though. Batting just seems to be more their style.” That Kommo-O’s and the Dragonite, in particular, had powerful swings. It’s a good thing his birds hadn’t been the ones in the line of fire with those strikes. [break][break]

Angelo.” He introduces in kind, lips splitting into a grin as he hoists the fluffy creature a little higher in his grip. “Wanna get the hell out of this sun? Think there’s a bar around here, should get this lump inside before he dehydrates, being a plant and all.
