Standing there in cross-laced brown boots, high-waisted black pants, a golden belt buckle, and a tight-fitting black tank, Cade Atreides patiently waits for his first challenger with muscled arms crossed. The long brown coat he'd strode in wearing was currently folded in the arms of a beautiful attendant behind him. A few foreigners in the audience cheer and gasp in awe. He's a legend, in another part of the world. Or, more accurately, a ghost.

Meanwhile, his Pokémon, a rather lithe PASSIMIAN, stretches its legs on the their side of the mat. It seamlessly shifts into a two-step fighting stance, a capoeira movement known as a ginga, when its opponent finally appears. He's excited to start.

"JOAQUIN and I are ready to begin. Make your move." Cade says with a slight bow of his head.
