Ana Sect Round #1

Ana went through her pre-match stretches as she eyed her opponent across the arena.

“A freshman! They gave me a freaking freshman to start off on!” Ana fumed as she saw the nido warming up. “She hasn’t even made her first evolution yet, this is just sad. I thought the whole point of this thing was for the best and brightest to compete. I’ll be lucky to break a sweat with this newb!”

“A long fall begins with only a single misstep.” Hiro Honorbound commented as he set up on the sidelines.

Ana sighed as she look at the small hariyama that acted as her coach, “Yeah I know Hiro don’t underestimate your opponent. But seriously I’m facing an unevolved freshman; she just won’t have the juice to take me out!”

Hiro just gave her an annoyed look as he put out his pecha juice mixture, “Be wary of her spines and poison sting. Her most likely tactic will be to poison you and then stick and move.”

Ana smiled as she chewed a pecha berry savoring it’s taste before the battle. “So I close in and pummel her before she can poison me or if she does finish her off quickly.”

“Right,” Hiro gave her a quick bow, “Good luck Ana my your ancestor’s guide you.”

Ana gave Hiro thumbs up as she walked into the center of the ring and eyed the eager looking nido across the arena from her spot.

“Hrrp! Still wish I had gotten that lairon girl instead of the fresh meat! I only hope that she can offer me enough of a workout so I don’t get a headache tonight!”

Ana stood at attention as a referee announced the fight was beginning.

“Ana Tabajara to the center of the ring, Illiana Larin to the center of the ring!” A referee callout “Ladies you will obey my commands at all time, now we went over the rules before the match any questions?”

Both fighters said no, “Ok then to your corners!”

Ana walked back to her square and braced herself, as she stared down her opponent no fear showed on the nido’s face. “Hmmm maybe I might actually break a sweat.”

As the referee call out “FIGHT!” The vigoroth charged toward the nidoran weaving to dodge several poisoned pins that the smaller poison type shot toward Ana.

“Keii YA!” Ana shouted out a battle cry as a crush claw attack zoomed toward her opponent, Ana smiled as she felt the world go blank around her, it always soothed her the arena, fighting, and finally using her energy to the fullest! Battle was what she was born for even if it was against fresh meat.

As her crush claw scored a glancing blow Illiana suddenly turned and shot a poisoned pin into Ana’s thigh, as the vigoroth grimaced and paused for a second to pull the needle out Illiana raced in and pummeled her midsection with a fury attack.

Ana glared as Illiana danced out of range of her physical attacks, the small smirk on the nido’s face infuriated her as she began to try to close in again.

“Ok whiskers, Now I’m gonna get serious!” And with a deep breath, Ana spat out a stream of boiling hot mud directly into Illiana’s eyes coating over them completely. As Illian backed up crying out and trying to clear her eyes of mud Ana gave her another dose of her mud slap keeping her opponent off balance and blind.

“KIE YA!” With her battle cry Ana closed into physical attack range again. This time the poisoned pins where not even close as Ana’s focus punch clobbered Illiana across her face and almost spinning the nido around in a circle. Illiana tired to tackle Ana with a version of take down but Ana easily sidestepped the nearly blind girl. Ana then unsheathed her claws and attacked Illiana in her flank with the girl still trying to clear her eyes of mud. With a slash and shadow claw combo Illiana was doubled over and teetering on her feet, she tried one last attack to put Ana off balance and regain her stance but the fury attack only landed one hit. When Ana countered with her ice punch the frozen crack the reverberated throughout the arena and the collapsing nidoran let everyone know that this round of fighting was over.

Ana held her hands up in victory as the announcement was made and her opponent was helped off to the medics. It hadn’t been the cakewalk that she was expecting, but it still wasn’t enough to completely clear her head of all her excess energy. The next round had better have a greater challenge, Ana thought, I joined this tournament to be challenged not to tread water.

Ana returned to her bench as quickly was drinking one of Hiro’s oran berry juice mixes. The hariyama gave her only short nod that she had been victorious and then they both turned to the tournament board that showed each round and opponents. Ana looked as her named appeared in round two her next fight would be against…
