TOURNAMENT MAIN ROUND; VS YUUKI AOTAMA

For as long as Ricki had been a trainer and her current skill level, many would assume that Ricki had been in her fair share of tournaments before. Surely she would’ve won one or two, or at least gotten close to it, but that wasn’t the case. Despite the experience under her belt, Ricki had never participated in a tournament before. Granted, much of her childhood was spent watching tournaments and re-runs of them on TV in her grandparents’ living room. Much of her childhood was spent in front of TVs or getting into some sort of trouble, but those were tales for another time.

Standing in the elevator as it slowly inched up towards the second floor, Ricki carefully adjusted the helmet she’d been given along with the heavy jacket the staff of the tournament insisted she wear. They were all grimacing at the sight of her shorts, which baffled the hell out of her. Eventually they convinced her to change out into a pair of pants. What in the world could be happening that would require her to wear her worn and torn pants? As she thought over it, she briefly thought back to her aunt’s battle in the qualifying round. Weather conditions would be set up inside of the arena, and be in play for the whole course of the battle.

What was a condition that required trainers to wear helmets and heavy clothing? The answer came swiftly once the doors opened and a bitterly cold breeze swept into the elevator. Shuttering and shaking her head, Ricki almost shut the door, before realizing she had no choice. Grumbling and cursing the world violently under her breath, she marched out, immediately recognizing just what was going to start up from her own experience with this weather condition. Having once owned a Snover, hail was nothing new to the trainer. In fact, she was pretty used to having to stand in it by now.

Reaching for her belt and pulling her pokeball from its place, Ricki stared at the Lucario lounging inside of it for a moment. Offering a smile, she quietly warned “The moment you’re out, it’s going to start hailing, so be ready for it.” The Lucario gave a curt nod, seen through the slightly transparent red shell of the pokeball. Tilting his head to look up, Rep studied the sky for a moment as Ricki’s attention turned to her younger opponent across the way. As he stepped into position, Ricki offered him a grin, though it might be a bit hard to see from how far apart they were.

Giving the battlefield a brief look over, Ricki could see the many obstacles and objects that littered it, providing cover and potential defense for those who could use it wisely. Turning her gaze back to her opponent, she figured she’d start off the introductions. “Alright kid, the name’s Ricki Jace” she informed, giving a mock salute and tossing up her pokeball. The ball popped open in the air, releasing the Lucario several feet in front of her. Catching the ball as it fell back to her, Ricki watched the first balls of ice begin to fall as the hail storm started up. Hugging herself and laughing a bit, she announced “Mind starting us off, or would you like me to make the first move?”
