Team Side Mission - A Royal Luau

[Reno Vantas]

At the 'Ahem, Reno would cut off contact with Blizz before a feeling of dread and fear passed through him. Did he dodge a bullet or was he missing some great information that only Blizz could provide? It was hard to say and he wasn't going to be the one to determine that today. While he was distracted, Gruff would shrug at the sudden shift in the fight to ganging up on the Castform before leaping into the fray and unleashing a Bone Rush that was not focused on any target but instead swung at every Pokemon around him. While it cut power, it certainly added to the chaos.

Odd dug into his plate after a moment. Sure he'd given his opponents a head start but he felt confident he could make up for it. After all. How hard could it be to eat?

He'd end up showing his skills fairly quickly. He was practically inhaling malasadas one after another after about three of them. Was he even chewing them at this point?

Lykas entered the ring when he was called up, leaving Mykel to watch from the sidelines. His opponent introduced, he approached and bumped gloves, a small grin forming on his face afterward. This hybrid was definitely interesting. He looked pretty hot, too. When the signal was given to begin, he was surprised by the other hybrid's agility. It didn't make much difference, though. Ducking to the right while bringing up two of his tentacles, he'd swing from the same side. As soon as the other hybrid made to dodge his attack, he'd bring his right arm and both tentacles on that side together into a triple uppercut. What were the odds of him missing with all three blows?

"Professor?! He has come a long way indeed. Sounds like he might be over at the Battle Royal then." Ryan says with a bit of surprise. Skyla moves over and takes his arm again. "I think we will head over there to find him. I was good catching up with you Kahuna Hala. May Tapu continue to watch and guide. And do not worry, now that I am back, i will be around Alola more." Ryan says to the old man with a great air of respect.

While Hawlucha would land on Tristen's Castform from the looks of it, the wild swinging of Gruff's Bone Rush would be enough to shove him to the ground. He otherwise shrugged it off without too much trouble, but in retaliation, he'd try to grab the Marowak and jump into the air with him.

"What the hell...?" Amaranth asked herself, wondering just what her Hawlucha was planning here. It wasn't like she saw a Sky Drop much before.  

[Reno Vantas]

Reno would be split between the two fights now occurring, Gruff being sent skyward with a Hawlucha grappling him and the Dragonite that now seemed to be rampaging across the battlefield. Dropping the relaxed part of his personality as things seemed to be turning towards a more serious bout, Reno snapped a glance back to the skyward pair before an idea crossed his mind. he had helped move the fight to his advantage once, maybe he could do it again. Waiting for Gruff to make eye contact, Renop motioned at the Dragonite before shouting, "Double Edge! Hit it as hard as you can!" He commanded, seeing a spark of recognition from the Ground type before he took a moment to line up a body blow that would send their course slightly off from a simple straight up and down slam. In fact, it seemed their Sky Drop now appeared to be aimed to land directly onto the Dragon type now in the field.  

[Darksol88]

The Sky Drop would go awry thanks to Gruff's Double-Edge, the tables turning as they both went into a harsh freefall. The fall would be redirected not at the ground below, but poised to land on top of Tristen's Dragonite at the rate they were going. Trying to do another attack didn't seem to be possible, but as far as Hawlucha cared, he was still on top of things and the new trajectory was all according to plan.

Okay, maybe not really, but he liked to think so and Amaranth was trying just to not be seen in the chaos, readying another Pokeball whenever the need for it arose. "If they ask, you don't know him," she said to herself. "No wonder he and Farfetch'd fight so much..."

To Odd's left that young boy in green was stuffing malasada at almost twice his own speed, the skinny little kid making them disappear into the bottomless void that was his mouth. If the Ghost Channeler didn't do something he was going to lose, this kid was three steps above everyone else here. The idea of using his otherworldly abilities to cheat did pop into the man's head after he saw how badly he was getting beaten, but would he cheat? Or just let the kid win?

-----

Despite the hybrid's cat-like reflexes (actual cat reflexes) he would still take a hit, the hybrid dodging the first two but just wasn't quick enough to dodge the third as the third punch slammed into his chin, pretty hard too. The feline wouldn't be deterred however as he was quick to retaliate, locking eyes with Lykas as he Leered at him and threw a punch straight for his stomach. Wait! Where they allowed to use moves!? He did just use one...didn't he? Was hard to be completely sure.

Odd wouldn't fail to notice how fast Hau was inhaling those pastries. ~They want to play like that, fine...~ he thought to himself. If these people were going to let an inhuman eating machine compete, then he'd just have to even the playing field a bit. Tapping into the power he'd gained from the Circle of Gluttony, he felt his hunger swell. "I've eaten a demon squid before. This is nothing." He said so that only Hau could hear him before lifting the plate of Malasada before him and tipping it up, the pastries vanishing into his now seemingly-bottomless stomach almost before they had fallen off the plate. Setting the empty plate back down, he grinned at the boy. Was that all or were they going to bring him more already?

Lykas smirked as his third punch connected, though it wouldn't last long. The hybrid's Leer caught him off guard, though, leaving him to wonder. "Is that even allowed?" He'd ask after a moment's hesitation. Provided he didn't get hit before then. His next attack, however, would be a right hook delivered with a small amount of Hex chi backing it up, his eyes flashing black at the moment of impact. What are rules?

Ryan stumbles a bit, but with help from Skyla, rightens rather quickly. "That is the one thing time hasn't taken from that old man: his strength!" The channeler says with a shake of his head, but smiling none the less. Skyla just chuckles as they continue on.

When they arrive at the Battle Royal, Ryan sighs in exasperation. How was it possible that all 4 contestants just happened to be Snagem members!? Skyla just kisses him lightly on the cheek. "The battle isn't why you are here, remember?" She quietly reminds him. Ryan nods and approaches rhe nearest person, asking if they knew where Professor Kukui was.
