[Video or Action at Golden Rod City Inn]

Did anyone happen to see the posters that have been put up around town advertising the Johto Fighting Tournament? I notice it says you are allowed to use weapons in this competition. I wonder what kinds of weapons people will have. I was under the impression that all weapons were illegal here?

[It never hurts to fish for information with a friendly smile on your face. ]

I am considering signing up for this.
[Which means he already has. ]
It should be an interesting change from the more commonplace Pokemon battles that occur here.

Oh, excuse me…

[Since Eagle is currently working as the front desk clerk at the Goldenrod City inn a moment has to be spared as the PokeGear is set down on the table long enough to help one of the inn’s new guests check in. It doesn‘t take long and soon Eagle has the PokeGear in hand again.]

I am sorry about the interruption, but I did want to ask, is anyone else thinking of signing up for this tournament?

[OOC: Lost your room key, need to check in, Pokemon stuck in the tub? Anyone who has business at the inn can catch Eagle at the front desk. ]

No, I wouldn’t get mad about that. You are just worried I might get hurt, aren’t you?

[A sad stare and a small nod]

I guess I still have problems with people fighting each other...[Since that got her killed in the first place]

I'm really asking you

Really asking?

[Now he feels bad that she will have a reason to be disappointed in him again. ]

It is just a friendly competition. It isn’t like an actual battle, nothing really terrible will happen.

[Dissapointed? no, worried? yes, scared? that one too]

But you said it yourself, there will be weapons there

Yes but, minor things… nothing particularly lethal. I don’t think lethal weapons are even allowed to exist in Johto. At least, I have never seen one here.

And I do have weapons training. I will be perfectly fine.

[Probably. ]

Try not to worry.

[Anew remains quiet for a while, she really wants to believe him but]

I'm not sure...do you know what other people are participating?

I think I have spoken to two people who might be entering.

[This would be a ‘no’. ]

[Can you see the panic in her face?]

[Not… the best reaction she could have had to the news. ]

Its alright. I have faced opponents before without knowing very much about them. I will just have to be careful.

[And try to keep his cockiness in check. ]

[In a way, she trusts him to be careful, but she still not so sure about the people he is going to face.

It's almost the exact same feeling that she has about how things were left when she died back home. She was sure that her friends in Celestial Being would give their best to defeat Ribbons, but she was still scared about what other dirty tricks he may have pulled]

Just...promise that you will try to get out unharmed

[Her concern is wise. Eagle does have a tendency to… forget… about his own safety in situations like this. ]

I promise that I will do my best to come out unharmed as long as you promise to try not to worry. I wouldn’t want you to be upset through out the entire tournament. A smile suits you better than that worried expression.

[Normally she would blush at that last comment, but the embarrassment is offset by the relief that his promise brings along]

Thank you
