Tournament Final Round

[bravenewmods]

"Ah."

With the second round of the tournament coming to an end, the three winners had been determined: Feliks, Levi, and Reimu. The crowd turns expectantly towards Team Evolution to where Rory now stands alone, having been informed that his companions had needed to take a step away. The man pauses before he steps forward to speak.

"...Dr. Verdine and Sakina have been... called away. A minor emergency. ...And I fear my remaining compatriots are not much for battling."

He looks embarrassed.

"We will have to forgo the Team Evolution exhibition - but please, it would be an honor for me to face your trainers. It was we who requested this demonstration. I would not have you waste your time."

He gives a slight bow and walks up to the field, rolling his sleeves up to his elbows and retrieving several small, round objects from his pockets.

"I am ready. Come, let us see the strength of Union's Bonds against that of our team's."

((This will be the final tournament post. It will be three separate battles against each of the winners. To properly end this event, we will need at least one thread to progress a significant amount, so please do your best to respond!))

"Pokémon depend upon humanity to be more than wild beasts. I have said this to you before. Just as man depends upon Pokémon to survive, so, too, is the opposite true. But now I say -- Pokémon require humanity to become what they were truly meant to be. From the beginning of this world, that was meant to be the design.

"You have all simply forgotten."

Rory thrusts out a hand towards the battlefield. And now, with his sleeves rolled up, a shining gem sewn into the underside of the cuff is clearly visible, displayed for the whole audience to see.

"We are here to remind you."

He touches a finger to the stone, and a light suddenly blazes forth, blinding in its intensity.

"Ioke!"
