GETTO DA ZE!

By the cafeteria, in the lounge of the agent dorms, outside the enforcer dorms, outside the Councilor apartments, and just generally found all throughout the complex, signs mysteriously appear overnight.  . . . Alright, not that mysteriously; Atsuro can be found in the library printing copies of them, running around with a stack underneath his arms, taping them up carefully and finally standing around taking photographs of them, for whatever reason.  It's pretty likely that he'll be caught in the act.  Regardless, they read:

~POKEMON BATTLE ROYALE TOURNAMENT KNOCK-DOWN CHAMPIONSHIP SKIRMISH MELEE BRAWL OF THE CENTURY~

With a lot of Pokeball decals and assorted (bad) artwork of what appear to be Pikachu, Clefairy, and Oddish skipping around in circles or showcasing attacks.  Also a long list of rules.

[voice, mysteriously fuzzy and sounding like it's being played from a computer speaker]
~I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
DUN DUN DUN
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my caaaauuuuse~

[The music fades into the background as another mysteriously fuzzy voice begins to boom through the PDA.]

I have a question! Are "Pokémon" those animals on the poster?

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

Pokémon: Pocket Monsters! In the mysterious world of Pokemon, humans live, compete, and battle alongside animals with extraordinary supernatural abilities!

Short answer: yeah, that's right.

[nekotagonist.livejournal.com]

[And guess who is not-so-mysteriously helping him carry a huge stack of those posters?]

I think because they marketed it to elementary school kids at first?

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

You know, it's like your implications are going right over my head since I don't know what you mean at all.

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

What the hell is this?

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

Try to pick more positive questions. Like, "gosh, Atsuro, this sounds really fun how can I join in?"

[nekotagonist.livejournal.com]

I apologize for my friend. He suffers from an unfortunate disorder of the pituitary gland called "nerderosity generosis." Very rare.

[50percentthere.livejournal.com]

O-On a scale of one to ten, how heroic would you say this is?

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

Huh. More than three/fourths of the English songs mention becoming a hero, so I'd say an 8!

[getshive.livejournal.com]

[...what the heck is this crappy pamphlet oh its a Pokémon tournament.]

...

Hmm...

[He seems to be thinking about it! Bother? Y/N]

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

[bother bother bother bother bother]

Hey, there! Whatcha looking at? . . . Oh, hey, I've seen those around! It looks pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

[Atsuro is the worst faker.]

[takatori-heir.livejournal.com]

[And then there's Omi. Atsuro's rival buddy. Staring at the poster. Then the person who put it up. Then the poster again. Back to the person who put it up.]

You didn't...

[nekotagonist.livejournal.com]

He did.

[Says the ever-so-helpful best friend of the perpetrator.]

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

[Atsuro coughs discreetly into his fist.]

Oh, hey, no one's signed up yet. You can be the first!

[icecreamai.livejournal.com]

Oh this looks cool.

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

Hey, Kaito! You want to sign up? You know about Pokemon, right?

[that-left-hook.livejournal.com]

Heh. Sounds like a good excuse to train Shinji more. Sign me up.

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

You caught one yourself already? Sure thing, Akihiko.

[Atsuro restrains himself from sobbing with joy at someone who actually volunteers for it without needing to be persuaded.]

You can still come along later if you'd like. More Pokemon is never a bad thing.

[becomethesniper.livejournal.com]

Sure, why not? Setanta's getting a little restless. I'll sign up -- name's Lockon Stratos.

Maybe I should see if my princess is up for a traveling vacation...

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

[Of course you are. Atsuro eagerly pencils in Lockon's name as he chatters cheerfully.]

Awesome! So the people who don't have any experience will be going together to the Pokemon world sometime in the next few days. You're free to come or not.

What kind of Pokemon is Setanta?

Perhaps you'd better consider a world where your princess doesn't turn into a plant.

[phobophage]

You need a better artist. Seriously, I could make better than with my feet. With my eyes closed.

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

. . . The, um, artist would like to inform you that he's eager to take you up on that boast.

[redlovefreak.livejournal.com]

Are those... Kaiju?

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

You like kaiju, huh . . . ? Here!

[Atsuro fiddles with his laptop for a few seconds before pressing the camera up against a picture of Tyranitar (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Tyranitar).]

Look familiar, right? Just think how cool it would be to be the trainer of one of these!

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

[Just... this face.]

[ashadyguy.livejournal.com]

A Pokémon tournament, huh...?

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

Not just any Pokemon tournament, you know.

[Atsuro presents his meaningless sign title with a flourish.]

[kenpo-ichiban.livejournal.com]

What's this 'bout a battle royale?

[demon-hacker.livejournal.com]

[Atsuro assumes his announcer voice.]

Do you want to be a master? Come up, one and all, and join in the Pokemon battle bonanza!
