Well, I'm all warmed up, but I got a half an hour. What else is there to do?
*Kevin walks in*
Kevin: *Looks at me, then grins* Let me guess, need time to kill?
Me: Wow, you guessed that! How did you know?
Kevin: Well, before you do anything, let's talk. Tell me a little more about yourself.
Me: Alright, well...I trained for 8 years to be here.
Kevin: Whoa! Sounds like you really wanted to do this! Mind if I ask why?
Me: Well, I saw the title match between Prince Mush and Rawk Hawk 8 years ago, and it's still my favorite match to this day! That's when I wanted to become a Fighter. Prince Mush was my role model and he still is today!
Kevin: That's awesome. I'll ask you some more things later on. Go out and get some fresh air, it's well worth it.
Me: Will do. See ya, Kevin! *Leaves the locker room*
Kevin: Man, 8 years of training? This kid's got spunk. Something tells me he's gonna shine in this business.
?: Don't bet on it.
Kevin. Oh come on! Didn't you hear a god damn word he said? 8 years of training to be here, and that's all you can say?
?: I've seen a lot of people like him fail. I don't see any difference.
Kevin: Oh shut it, will you? Just because you're rank #21 doesn't mean you're all high and mighty. He's going to do great things here!
?: We'll see.
*Outside, enjoying a drink of water*
Kevin was right. This fresh air idea really does clear your mind. Plus it's a beautiful day. It usually is everyday up here in Glitzville anyway. Since they expanded the place, it has a neighborhood and everything! I'll check it out after my match.
*I look at my watch*
Well, I got 15 minutes. Might as well head back. *Heads back to the locker room*
Kevin: Heyyyyy, look who's back! How was it?
Me: It was nice. I might do that more often. I just need to change into my Fighter gear.
*Changes into his gear, wearing a dark blue t-shirt with white pants with a dragon design on them, gloves as well*
Kevin: Nice stuff you got rockin' there. Good luck out there!
Me: Thanks! *Leaves*
*Waiting in front of the door*
Man, my first fight. Remember the basics! Keep your cool, fight fair, and always look for an opening. Let your opponent come to you...
Security Guard: Alright, bub. Get ready. 5 Minutes.
Me: Born Ready.
*Meanwhile in the ring*
Jolene: Ladies and Gentlemen! Let's get this night STARTED!
Crowd: YEAHHHHHH!
Jolene: Tonight we're going to kick off with a fight the features a newcomer! He's trained for 8 years to be here and he's dreaming big, hoping to become champion! Now, on to our first fight! First! Introducing Rank #39th, The Goomba of Terror, Jacob!
*Jacob enters the arena*
Crowd: *Applauds and cheers* WOOOOOOO!
Jolene: Hey there Jacob, looking pumped as always! SO, you're fighting the newcomer. What's your mindset?
Jacob: I'm gonna give em a welcome that he's going to soon forget! I'm ready to kick some ass!
Jolene: Confident indeed! NOW! Introducing the newcomer from Petalburg! He calls himself The Crusader of Destiny, LANCE! *Walks in the arena with authority and looks around*
Crowd: YEAHHHHHH! GO LANCE!
Jolene: Lance! Looking pumped! NOW! EVERYBODY GET READY TO...
BRAWWWWWWL!
*The gong is heard, and the fight starts. No one is moving*
Jacob: This'll be too easy.
*Charges and starts throwing kicks. Lance dodges them easily, and get's out of his sight*
Jacob: What the- Where'd he go?
Me: *Behind him* Right here. *Lands a combination of punches and kicks, then jumps up*
Jacob: Ugh, lucky!
Me: Uh huh, sure. DRAGON DANCE!
*Unleashes a flurry of punches on Jacob and pushes him back*
Jacob: ARGH! Damn...GET A LOAD OF THIS! DARK TRANSIT!
*Disappears and reappears behind him, but Lance blocks and holds Jacob's head*
Jacob: What?! How did you know where I was going?
Me: Simple. I heard where you landed, hence knowing where you were. Now, time to finish this.
*Throws him up in the air*
Me: SERPENT DRAGON FURY!
*Hits him with combinations of punches and kicks, then as he raises his arm, a dragon-like figure revolves around his arm, and he hits Jacob, going through with speed. Jacob falls and is knocked out*
*The gong is going off*
Jolene: Jacob is knocked out! WE HAVE A WINNER! IT'S THE CRUSADER OF DESTINY, LANCE!
*The Crowd roars and cheers. They chant Lance's name*
Jolene: So Lance, what did you think?
Me: It was a good fight, and I thank Jacob for a good one!
*Back in the Locker room, people applauding*
Kevin: There he is! Way to whoop some ass out there, bro! You handled him like it was nothing!
Me: Yeah, I was too fast for the guy, haha!
Kevin: We should go celebrate with a smoothie! I have time to kill before my match! Let's go! *Leaves the Locker Room*
?: I still don't see it...
*In the smoothie bar with Kevin*
Kevin: I told you were gonna be fine!
Me: Yeah, I know, hahaha!
Kevin: So, with that in the back of our minds, I need to ask you something.
Me: Go ahead *Drinking my smoothie*
Kevin: Did you have any...relationship before coming here?
Me: No, not really. I dated someone before around a year ago, but it was only for a couple of weeks.
Kevin: Ah, I see. I have a girlfriend back at home. I lived in Rougeport before coming here.
Me: Oh wow. Is that town coming around, I hope?
Kevin: Yeah, it's getting there, but you know.
*some people recognize Kevin and Lance*
Passerby: Good fight Lance! Good luck today Kevin! Lance for Champion!
*We both laugh, then a girl walks in. I look at her. Red, straightened hair, blue eyes, and cute face*
(Whoa...she's beautiful...)
Kevin: *whispering* ah, eyeing a girl I see! Go up to her!
Me: *Whispers* SHHH! I know what to do!
*Nervous, I go up to her*
Me: Uhh...Hello.
Girl: Oh, hello. You must be Lance. Nice to meet you!
Me: Nice...to meet you too..heh. What's your name?
Emily: My name's Emily *She smiles*
(Wow...she has probably the best smile...)
Me: Uh, do you want to uh...well, uh...you know, walk somewhere?
(IDIOT! "Walk somewhere?" The hell are you saying?!"
Emily: I can do that! :)
Me: Okay, hehe.
Emily: Meet me outside in a couple minutes, okay? *Smiles, then leaves*
Me: Okay...!
Kevin: GET EM LANCE! HA!
Me: Oh Shut up, Kevin! Haha!
(I might have just met her...but there's this feeling that I've never felt before...she seems perfect. I got to know more about her!)
