> "And now, the first fights of the day! In circle one…" > "Come on, we have some time before it's our turn…" Ryoko >walked up to everyone after she signed up for the fights. > Ukyou was breaking up Ryouga and Ranma from a fight, and >Noname-san was walking toward her. > "So, what…" > The man just walked past her to the judges table. She wasn't >sure, but she thought she saw him pull out a pair of glasses. > *What the heck?* > She then saw him put a pair of glasses in his coat, and put on >the ones he just pulled out. As she walked closer, she saw that he >was playing with his glasses. > *What is he…* > She then saw him pressing a button on the glasses. > *?* > > *If I can just see the chart then I don't need to win the >tournament, just beat the assassin…* > He put on his camera glasses and pressed the button for a close >up on the chart. When the chart was in view, he pressed at shutter >button…but then someone got in front of the shot. > *Click* > "Ok, who…" he stopped when he saw the person. "Ryoko!" > "What?" > "Just move out of…" He looked around her and saw the judges >put away the chart and the pokéball with the Chansey. "LOOK WHAT >YOU…" > "STOP YELLING!" she shouted back at him. > "Now I have…" he started muttering to himself, turning away >from Ryoko. > "HEY! I'm talking to you!" > "I have to go! I have to figure out some way to beat him!" he >shouted back toward her. > > "Shit! How does she find them on such short notice…" he said >to himself. "There!" He looked to his right and saw a toy shop. >He walked inside and saw what he wanted. "A dozen yo-yos please." > On his way back to the tent, he saw three people who seemed a >bit lost. > "Excuse me, but are you lost?" He walked up to the three. One >of them had a map. > "Um…yes. We're looking for the tournament at…um…" > "Furinken Highschool," one of the three finished. She had on a >shirt that seemed like it belonged to someone half her age. She >also wore a short denim pair of shorts that also looked like them >belonged to someone half her age. Holding up the shorts was a pair >of suspenders. > "Well, it's that way," he said pointing down the street. "I'm >going that way myself." > When they got to Furinken Highschool, the three strangers >parted and when their way. > "I told you it was this way Satoshi!" he heard as he walked >away from them. > > "Great…I leave them for a few minutes and now I can't find >them…" he muttered as he walked through the tent looking for Ryoko >and the others. "Well, as soon as I'm cured and finish off the >Umbrella factory, I'm outta here anyway…no point making friends…" > Visions filled his mind. Visions of the last time he made a >friend. Visions of his childhood. Visions of the girl next door. >Visions of his father getting mad at him for running out of the >house to see her. Visions of him stopping after seeing her for the >first time in four years. Visions of his first kiss. Visions of >the funeral. > *No point in making friends…I have to get out of here the first >chance I get…been here too long…* > "And now the second matches of the day! In circle one…" > "Um?" He looked up and saw one of the judges with a >microphone. "What'd he say? Who's up?"
