Chapter 16: Zell, Cait, and... Vivi!
---------------
Hayner was enjoying just relaxing on top of Sunset Hill after his fight with Setzer. He didn't know what Pence and Olette were doing right now, but, if they were waiting for Hayner or something, they could wait a bit longer.
Hayner thought about what Setzer told him, about a possible "Tournament of Struggle Champions" after next year's Struggle Battle, if there was another new champion. Then... Hayner realized about how Setzer just off and went and told him this information. Hayner knew Setzer wouldn't tell anyone anything without some kind of point or something. Hayner thought Setzer might of changed or something, and Hayner was about to try to find Setzer to ask him, but Hayner quickly realized it was a weird question and it really was none of Hayner's business, anyway, so he just continued to relax on top of Sunset Hill.
Meanwhile...
Zell and Cait were talking to each other again...
"I can't believe this!" started Zell "Can that guy even be beaten!"
"I hate to admit it..." started Cait "But even I'm not sure..."
"He even beat Setzer..." informed Cait
"Tch, come on now, anyone could beat Setzer..." remarked Zell
"Yes, I suppose that's true... but... still..." replied Cait
At this point, Vivi had noticed Zell and Cait and overheard about how, supposedly, anyone could beat Setzer.
"Really? Are you sure about that? Do you think even I could beat Setzer?" asked Vivi.
Zell and Cait looked over at Vivi, noticed him, and looked at him strangely. Then, Zell responded with...
"Heh, you never know... maybe..."
"Really?" started Vivi "Because I'm looking for a way to become stronger... and this "Setzer" sounds just in my league"
"I see..." started Zell "But you have to ask the stupid mayor if you can fight him, or you might get in trouble..."
"Okay! I'll do that" announced Vivi.
He then left to go speak with the mayor about this... but... Zell and Cait decided to follow Vivi to the mayor's office.
Back with Hayner...
Hayner had left Sunset Hill, satisfied with his little "break", and was in his relaxed state again with his head resting on his clenched hands, which were behind his neck. He got on the train back to Central Station, and started heading towards the sandlot to see if anyone was finally in there or not...
Back with Vivi, Zell, and Cait...
Vivi had already asked the Struggle Promoter if he could fight Setzer.
As for the Struggle Promoter, he had short black hair, brown eyes, a black moustache, and whitish-tan skin. He had a yellow-goldish cotton tanktop on with a green shirt underneath it. He had yellow-goldish sweat pants on and black shoes. He was a little on the obese side, but not too obese.
"Sure, it means we can have another proper Struggle Match! I'm so excited! Let me go confirm this with the mayor so you won't get in trouble Vivi..." assured the Struggle Promoter, apparently he was the mayor's aid, as well.
"Sure!" smiled Vivi, he was just happy that he would get to fight Setzer.
Inside the office... it was small with a lot of bookshelves and paper. The mayor had his chair turned around, so... who was he and what did he look like? Only the struggle promoter knew, but it was "classified". The struggle promoter had already asked permission for another Struggle Match.
"No! I forbid it!" yelled the mayor, apparently he was tired of the struggle promoter and his "Struggle Matches".
"But why? All Vivi wants is to fight Setzer..." remarked the struggle promoter
"I know! I don't care about that!" started the mayor " I care about you and your "Struggle Matches". The Struggle only occurs once a year. Get over it! Just have them fight. Whoever is knocked down on to the ground and can't get up within ten seconds... loses!" explained the mayor
"But..." whined the struggle promoter
"No buts! Or you'll be out of a job!" threatened the mayor.
The struggle promoter sighed, the assured the mayor
"Yes sir. I'll inform Vivi and Setzer about this..."
The struggle promoter left the mayor's office and informed Vivi.
"It's on, but, there's been a change of plans..."
"Really What is it?" asked Vivi.
Only time would tell what would become of this new type of "fighting", and if Hayner would find someone in the sandlot. He would, but, someone Hayner wouldn't expect at all...
P.S.: Uh oh... OO;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
