Final Fantasy X
The adventure through Wakka's eyes
Chapter 1: Blitzball Players
"Alright boys, hustle!" said Wakka.
"Cap'n!" said his fellow Aurochs, Datto, Letty, Jassu, Botta, and Keepa.
Wakka led his Aurochs out to the beach for blitzball practice, as he did almost every day. Nothing seemed different about this day; the sun was shining over his homeland, the isle of Besaid, as it always did. The villagers had come and gone into the temple to pray, as they always did. Wakka, captain of the Besaid Aurochs, was cheery as ever; as usual. "Alright Aurochs, we want to win the tournament this year, ya? So get to practice! We need to improve our offense, so let's do shooting and passing drills! Get to it!"
"Sure thing, Cap'n!" said Datto. The other players nodded in agreement, and began tossing the ball back and forth.
"Ah, we got our work cut out for us," Wakka thought to himself. He didn't know it, but his teammates were thinking the exact same thing.
Wakka was good enough at what he did so that he doesn't have to practice often; he thought he would just give advice to his team and brood about things, while staring out at the ocean. He began to, but then something caught his eye…
Instinctively, he threw a blitzball at it, hoping it wouldn't be a living thing, or even alive for that matter. He'd never seen anything like it, anyway. He hit his target, but then it moved, so he assumed it was a person. By now, each of the players was watching to see what had happened.
"Heeeey! You okay?"
"Heeeeeeeey!!" The now moving man said. Then, (Wakka will never forget this) the man leaped out of the water like a seal, and kicked the ball toward the beach; it had so much spin and momentum, it curved toward the sky just before hitting Wakka in the head.
"Whoa ho ho!" said an amazed Wakka. The man, who can now be easily distinguished as young and blonde, swam to the beach to meet the people there.
"Yo! Hiya!"
"You wanna try that move one more time?" Wakka was still astonished. With that, the man performed a Sphere Shot; a technique that previously had only been mastered by Larbeight of the Kilika Beasts. "You're no amateur. Who you play for?"
"The Zanarkand Abes!" he said. The Aurochs began chattering, confused at this statement.
"What team you say again?" Wakka knew it couldn't be true, anyway.
"Uh, I meant… forget that. I got too, uh… close to Sin and my head's all foggy-like. So I don't know where this place is. Or even where I came from."
"Sin's toxin got to you. But, you're still alive. Praise be to Yevon," said Wakka. "All right, back to practice!" he said to the other Aurochs. He turned back to the boy. "I'm Wakka. Coach and captain of the Besaid Aurochs brudda!"
"I'm uh, Tidus." Tidus put his hand on his stomach.
"What, you hungry? Okay! Back to the village. I'll get you somethin'. They begin walking back to the village, but Wakka wonders what this odd day will bring…
