The spring time is always the best time to visit Japan and watch the cherry blossoms bloom, Justin thought to himself.

While the cherry blossoms are a good motive to visit Japan, Justin was more interested in learning about Japan's new favorite sport: Beyblade.

Earlier that day I had arrived at the outdoor bey stadium to watch the days second round matches for the district tournament.

I hope this is as facinating as they claim it to be. I hope this Valt kid is as good as they say he is."Welcome to the second round of the district tournament!" The anouncer exclaimed through the stages loud speakers. "Let's get right into the action as we have a show match to start things off between our two local members of the national Supreme Four, Valt with Victory Valtryek and Shu with Storm Spryzon!"

I took a minute to think, At least it will only take one battle for me to decide if I want to give blading a try back home in the United States.Both Shu and Valt then made their way to the arena in the center of the stage and took their stances.

The referee then started my anouncing, "This will be a three point battle. Ring outs and survivor finnishes are worth one pont and a burst finish is worth two points. The first blader to three points win. Are you ready?"

As the referee looked at bothe bladers on the stage, Valt and Shu both nodded and the referee started the first battle.

"First battle. Ready. Set!"

"Three, two, one, LET IT RIP!"

Both beys launched simaltaniously and the battle was on.

The first battle nearly lasted a full minute but Vatlryek came away with a burst finish, taking advantage of it's fully unleashed power constantly bouncing off the wall of the stadium to regain it's speed.

Impressive, I thought. This is more intresting than I thought it would be.My thoughts wandered off as I watched the rest of the battles which ended in a 3-2 victory for Valt and Valtryek.

It is decided, as soon as I get back home I'm going to give this beyblade thing a try, and I know where to begin. Time to collect on Kima's dad promise. And with that I let a huge smile take over my face.

I hope you enjoyed this first chapter. I hope to be able to add more every 3-4 days at the latest. Please comment!
