Iki Town - Micah vs Keye [w/Keye]
The festival, Micah found out, was a sort of battle ritual for the Island’s protector, Tapu Koko. It apparently enjoyed seeing Pokemon Battles so the town held a festival - or almost more of a simple tournament - for them regularly.
Basically, it was far more than Micah was expecting and was now actually really excited for it. He’d already caught enough Pokemon to be worth a full team. On him he had Rip, and a Pichu, Ratatta, Meowth, Yungoos and Pikipek. Rocket sat on his shoulder as usual, but would not be battling. As the island’s Kahuna went on about why the festival was held and welcoming everyone and yadda yadda, Micah stood and looked around, wondering who he’d be up against.
There were a number of other Trainers, a few of them his age, but also a couple a bit older. One of them had bright red hair and a loud shirt. Micah was hard-pressed to forget the profile picture of the “old stalker” on the feed. Next to him was another guy older than Micah, casually dressed with his own trial band, and a Pokemon he recognized as a Quilava, but it didn’t look right. He also saw a peppy brunette and a girl with black hair that, if he had to guess by her general demeanor and the Popplio at her side, was Juliette, also from the feed.
“You!” The Kahuna suddenly said, pointing out, and Micah saw he was pointing at him. “And you!” He changed targets to the afro stalker. “You shall be opponents!”
Huh, so he’d get to take on the geezer, interesting. He walked over to the man. “So, the stalker strikes again, huh?”
