Kathrine took a deep breath as she walked towards the large glass doors of the colosseum. The gray stone walls lifted into the sky nearly 100 feet high. She could hear voices cheering even from outside. Very faintly the announcer could be heard, her voice full of energy, "Oh and a miraculous dodge from Gengar! What will she do next? This is still anyone's game, but it appears that luck is on Katie's side!"

Kathrine pushed open the doors with a determined expression. People were everywhere, registering Pokémon, healing Pokémon, buying merchandise and medicine, taking pictures and buying food. The noise of the bustling lobby was so much it sounded quiet, with so many people talking it was impossible to discern any person's voice if you weren't close to them. Her mind raced faster than a Joelton, was she ready for this? Could she win with trainers from all over the world? Her chest felt constricted, her breathing suddenly increased as the feeling of anxiety grew inside her stomach. She looked down to the Pokéballs on her belt. She'd already come so far, what would her partners think if she turned back now?

She stepped into the line to register her Pokémon despite her mind screaming at her to turn back. She felt sick like she might throw up, suddenly a voice sounded close and she looked up. She'd been so focused on whether or not she could succeed that she didn't notice the time spent mindlessly shuffling along through line. A woman with pink hair in a tight bun at the top of her head. Her voice was clear and joyful, her happiness was so grand it seemed contagious. "Hello and welcome to the Kanto colosseum. I'm nurse Joy, how can I help you?"

Kathrine gave the woman a small smile, "I'm here to register for the World Championship Tournament if it's still open."

Joy grabbed a clipboard and a pen, smiling all the while. "We're still accepting trainer submissions, we just need a little information. What's your name and where are you from?"

"I'm Kathrine Vulcana from the Hoenn region."

The nurse quickly jotted her answers into the clipboard, "Oh my you've traveled quite a bit to get here haven't you? Finally, I just need to know what Pokémon you would like to use. Once you pick you can only use those Pokémon for the first half of the tournament so pick your six wisely. If you'd like we have a PC in the back so you can use any of your Pokémon. Do you know who you'll take?"

Kathrine looks down at her Pokéballs, "Yeah I already know my six. I'll be taking Blaziken, Mightyena, Swellow, Tentacruel, Gardevoir, and Tropius."

Joy marked some boxes on the clipboard, "That's a nice team, sounds like you have a good chance." She added a second paper on the clipboard and laid it down on the desk in front of her, "Now there is some risk to trainers who compete, so I'll need you to sign this saying you accept that risk please."

The pen shook in Kathrine's hand, she took a deep breath and did her best to keep herself still as she signed the paper. This was it, she entered and couldn't turn back now. The nurse took the pen and clipboard then handed her a small silver key. "This is so you can enter your room which comes with room service complementary of the colosseum. We'll also heal your Pokémon for free."

Kathrine closed her fist tightly around the key, afraid that she would lose it "Thank you, but this is my first time here. How do I find my room?"

Joy smiled and pointed at an elevator "If you take that to the third floor it'll bring you to the floor with your room."

"Thanks." Kathrine stutters as she turns and heads towards the elevator. How could she get herself into this situation? She berated herself for signing the papers while she walked into the elevator. She quickly pressed the button and closed the door before anyone else got on. She let out a small sigh, she wasn't ready for this but at least she didn't have to deal with social interactions to make her anxiety worse. She closed her eyes and tried to clear her thoughts as she ascended to her floor. The elevator dinged, and she got off. Tall, dark wooden doors with silver handles lined the hall way.

She glanced down at her key and noticed a small number on it, 34. She started down the hallway and looked for her door. She unlocked her door and walked in. In the corner of the room there was a miniature Pokécenter, a tall white table with a red top and six dips in the tabletop to place Pokéballs in. On the other end of the room was a door with a brass knob. In the middle of the room was a bed, placed against the wall and facing a TV on the other end of the room.

Kathrine placed her Pokéballs into the table to let her Pokémon heal. She opened the door to find the bathroom. Inside was a small shower, a toilet, a sink, and a rectangular mirror. She turned back and laid in the bed. She took up the TV remote and turned it on. It only had six channels and all of them showed battles that were happening now. She picked a channel and laid back. On the TV was an Ursaring, and Kathrine sat up to look at it. It was odd, she thought, how human these creatures looked. Ursaring looked like any human aside from the claws on its hands and the brown skin. It had a beige ring on it's chest. It wasn't overly tall but had thick thigs and large breasts with a large cock.

Ursaring roared as a Breloom charged it, The Breloom had green skin below the breasts but a beige skin from the breasts upward until a small green hat on top of its head. It had red hands and a long beige tail. The Breloom had small breasts and a thinner frame than the Ursaring. It had a large cock and was a fair bit taller than Ursaring.

Breloom punched Ursaring in the chest and it toppled over, the Breloom took this opportunity and forced itself upon Ursaring. Ursaring attempted to fight back before giving in. It relaxed as Breloom continued to thrust. Kathrine turned off the TV and closed her eyes. She laid down and tried to calm herself before the tournament started.
