[attr="class","danny"]"tangy's alright. can't complain, really!"

the single pokeball pops open, revealing a grimmsnarl who immediately extends a hand out towards danny to ask for a sip. danny nods, then hands the cup over.

grimmsnarl also finds it tangy.

"time to battle, grimster."

same old same old POWER-UP PUNCH.

[attr="class","noodles"]jayden cross

[attr="class","danny"]"yeah that sounds like a tough choice."

but danny thinks, putting himself in the shoes of this stranger's partner.

"maybe the gold one? i think if it were me i'd prefer the one i like better."

he shrugs.

"but i'm sure he'd look good in either."

[attr="class","noodles"]Chu-e Choi

[attr="class","danny"]no comment comes from the stranger after taking a sip from danny's drink. very interesting.

"what do you think? too tangy?"

regardless, danny pulls out a single pokeball.

"singles?"

[attr="class","noodles"]jayden cross

[attr="class","danny"]danny takes a sip.

"like berries."

damn, be more descriptive, danny.

"really sweet and tangy. blueberry's a bit overwhelming but the small hint of strawberry is really nice."

another sip, and a nod.

"wanna try?"

[attr="class","noodles"]jayden cross

[attr="class","danny"]"oooh that's always a tough choice."

danny thinks of Serena Malcolm, of which one she'd appreciate as well.

the two rings look really pretty; no wonder why the stranger's having a hard time deciding.

"well, what does your gut tell you?"

[attr="class","noodles"]Chu-e Choi

[attr="class","danny"]the NIGHT SLASH does indeed go wide; it soars past exeggutor, barely missing one of his three heads.

could half-moon carry them to victory? they're about to find out.

"we're almost done!"

nodding, grimmsnarl closes in to throw a POWER-UP PUNCH.

and exeggutor uses EXTRASENSORY, looking to keep the obstagoon in place.

[attr="class","noodles"]Cardamom Bliss

[attr="class","danny"]cool! it seems like his simple idea's being taken well. he's glad and it shows in the way he smiles.

"i'm danny! it's lovely to meet you, and it'll be even lovelier to shoot you, hehe!"

danny calls out one of his pokemon that's probably the grimmsnarl who just stands there confused.

"let's gear up!"

[attr="class","noodles"]Victor Wexler

[attr="class","danny"]danny has been thinking about dying his hair. the question is: what color? there are so many good options. maybe a light color as he's been told it'll compliment his eyes well. he already has a cute dedenne to compliment his appearance as well.

"going well so far! met a few interesting people as well; some i hope to see again."

looking at her chespin, he asks:

"i guess we can start ours now?"

[attr="class","noodles"]Evette Moreau

[attr="class","danny"]danny's tag is dan and not danny because it was taken! i can't believe everyone.

at jayden's question, danny peers up at the menu, thinking before answering:

"i think i'll get a summer berry delight."

the dude at the stall nods and starts making it.

"oh wait you mean when i first approached you? a battle!"

[attr="class","noodles"]jayden cross

[attr="class","danny"]the DYNAMIC PUNCH finds its mark, striking against grimmsnarl's arm. he snarls in response, tongue flicking out before he takes a step back to FLATTER the other with applause, confusing the shit out of it.

again, danny is quiet.

[attr="class","noodles"]KING WAYLAND

[attr="class","danny"]woops it's actually not cian but it's danny instead because danny would love some wins.

he approaches, standing next to ji-hoon to glance through the window.

"they look really pretty! can't decide?"

[attr="class","noodles"]Chu-e Choi

[attr="class","danny"]which of the effects from EFFECT SPORE will grimmsnarl suffer from?

it's PARALYSIS!

muscles seize up, slowing as grimmsnarl takes the hit from the DYNAMIC PUNCH. he's much slower when returning with a HAMMER ARM.

[attr="class","noodles"]KING WAYLAND

[attr="class","danny"]"it's lovely to meet you, evette!"

danny pronounces her name almost perfectly, perhaps having a knack for languages and accents in general. despite being from hoenn, his own accent is a little galarian which he picked up while studying there.

danny calls out a pokemon.

"how's your record this tournament so far?"

[attr="class","noodles"]Evette Moreau
