[attr="class","matias"]a tug of war battle royal — the game makers of this tournament deserves a bit more credit.

matias stands on one end of the battlefield, rope in both hands, ready to start pulling at any given moment.

he's joined by two npcs and jayden cross.

"you guys ready?"

he feels an odd sense of deja vu. doesn't this seem like something else he's done before?

[break][break] his palms tingle, the scars from the previous tug of war session still not quite gone.

[break][break] even so, jayden nods his head somberly.

[break][break] he's a man of only a few words, after all.

[break][break] as the bell rings, jayden's own side of the rope swirls with purple light as his spoink uses PSYCHIC to aid their efforts.

[attr="class","matias"]the tug of war commences.

"stop them."

slowpoke, dazed and slightly confused, points its tail at the spoink to DISABLE the PSYCHIC, perhaps giving matias the advantage.

as the disable strikes, the soft glow of light around his end of the rope disappears.

[break][break] the sudden change in momentum causes the person across from him to lose their footing and stumble. jayden looks up, distracted momentarily by the forehead band branded with Melody Miro fanclub insignia.

[break][break] his fingers tighten around the rope and he gives a tug, just as his sableeye's eyes glow red with the power of CONFUSE RAY.

[attr="class","matias"]slowpoke's usually oblivious but this time it falls victim to the CONFUSE RAY. it slumps over, falling on its side with its tongue hanging out its mouth. drool leaks, wetting sand.

"alright, nice."

without any help, matias continues to tug.

with one down, they continue.

[break][break] jayden's fingers wrap around the rope, pulling taut, but it's not enough. at least, sven doesn't think so. the malamar, annoyed with the progress they're making, wraps his fins around the rope and then gives a sharp tug with SUPERPOWER.

[attr="class","matias"]"SNAP OUT OF IT."

slowpoke YAWNS, which for whatever reason seems to help matias. he manages to hold on, though he's dragged a bit forward at the malamar's SUPERPOWER.

even jayden has to grimace. his malamar was stronger than anticipated — not that it was surprising.

[break][break] maybe sven was a little more than competitive too.

[break][break] their opponent's yawn seems lackluster, the bubble of air dissipating a few feet from where jayden's team was. it doesn't even land on them. a vallant effort, though.

[break][break] it does crash - somehow - into one of their other opponent's pokemon. jayden has a vague feeling of the tension on the rope loosening because someone's mr. mime crashes into the sand below.

[break][break] "ignaz, crunch."

[break][break] the durant skitters from the ground, aiming it's large pincers at the closest enemy. hopefully no one's toes, at least.

[attr="class","matias"]matias really should have more than one pokemon out on the field.

tapping his ankle against his leg, a pokeball pops open to an onix that immediately coils around his trainer. a heavy IRON TAIL blocks any advances, allowing matias to continue tugging.

the onix's iron tail does more harm than it helps. it knocks up debris and sand, making it more of an annoyance than anything.

[break][break] that being said, his durant does skitter backwards away from MATIAS SILPH toes and decides to cause a hindrance for the others on the field instead.

[break][break] as jayden continues to tug, his dratini floats through the air and aims a HYDRO PUMP at matias and his teammates.

[break][break] who didn't like getting a little wet?

[attr="class","matias"]matias likes getting a little wet.

so he doesn't mind the HYDRO PUMP. his pokemon take the brunt of the impact, though.

"that's pretty nasty!"

dirty plays. typical.

onix roars, calling forth a bunch of STEALTH ROCKS that float up, protecting them.

"what? can't handle getting a little wet?" one of the other men roar, cackling. a crackle of electricity soars overhead, knocking out one of jayden's pokemon.

[break][break] jayden, for his part, is quiet. he's never been the type for conversation anyway.

[break][break] the stealth rock that MATIAS SILPH summons make the ground rumble, and one of them even pierces lada. the umbreon lets out a startled cry, before crumpling to the floor.

[break][break] hesus lets out a caterwaul of betrayal, baring his teeth before letting a DARK PULSE out.

[attr="class","matias"]onix coils protectively around the team, realizing its duty in taking the DARK PULSE. it dances across its rocky skin, leaving cracks that will need to be healed later.

for now, onix retaliates with a METEOR BEAM that flies towards jayden cross's pokemon.

a shimmer of PROTECT covers jayden's teams as his orbeetle swings through, covering them. starlight splashes against the translucent barrier, keeping them unharmed, as they continue the fight.

[break][break] his grimer slowly slugs forward, as it releases a MUDBOMB skyward.
