Hey there kiddos, Handsome Jack here!

[It's that time again. Jack's got his Official Announcement voice and that patent grin of his when he pops on the Network.]

So, I've been here a while now. Gotten to know a lot of people, the lay of the land, how stringent certain omnipotently enforced rules are...

And I gotta say, I know I'm not the only one around here who likes a good fight. A real one! Sometimes ya just wanna throw a bunch of punches to work off steam or whatever! Or watch some punches fly and blood get spilled! And I also know I'm not the only one who takes a real hands on approach to Pokemon training. As in actually going one on one with my Pokemon.

So what I'm thinking is we bring all this together and make it work for us. Weekends only, small cover fee, and anybody who wants a good fight can get one. Go one on one against a variety of normal and fighting types! Got a Pokemon that loves beating the shit outta ya? Bring'em down! Wanna beat the hell out of each other? I'm not gonna stop ya! Get your jollies just watching? Not a problem, you can even bet on the matches!

Where would this all happen, you ask? A basement I'd rent for the purposes.

What about rules? Well there would be some. No weapons, no Pokemon it'd be stupid unfair for a person to fight, somebody uses the safe word and the match is over. We're...we're not barbarians here!

[Jack laughs.]

And no Pokemon that aren't into it, nobody wants to see that, some dude just whaling on a Pokemon that doesn't wanna fight. That's not sports that's...probably illegal. This isn't a slaughter circle, it's like...boxing. With Pokemon. If you want.

Kids get in half price.

Somehow, this is quite a bit different than what I was expecting when you were boasting about this.

Re: text.

[thedifferencebetween]

What the hell were YOU thinking?

[torsion]

Fair enough.

So, where's this going to be held? Probably can't do this weekend, gotta do some backtracking but I'm still in. Humans only. Save me a spot? :)

[ That sounds a little dangerous, but seeing how resilient Pokemon are in general in addition to her military experience keeps her eyes from being clouded with judgment. ]

I will support you in any way I can. [ Rosa promises this, tapping her arm thoughtfully. ] While I don't have my magic, I do have experience in administering first aid.

[ It'd be good to have a nurse on hand. ]

[thedifferencebetween]

...Oh, hey, that's a good idea! Thanks, Rosa! You're a peach.

[ She tries to be. Leave it to someone else to tell him this is a bad idea. ]

I take it you have rounded up enough interest to make this happen? Have you thought of a location?

What about a Pokemon with status effects? I would pay good money to see someone get paralysed from body slamming a Pikachu!

video

[thedifferencebetween]

Ha, yeah, I'd pay to see that, too.

But that'd probably count as a Pokemon it's not fair for a human to go up against.

[drubbings]

I think it's only fair to give the lucky opponent a swing at it! What if they crush the Pikachu? That seems like an even fight to me. Think of all the dollaz they could win. It'd be so much.

This all being legal, of course.

SPARRING WITH POKEMON? WHAT AN EXCELLENT IDEA FOR PERSONAL AND POKEMON GROWTH!

[thedifferencebetween]

Yeah, sure! Bonding experience, better understand our animal friends, yadda yadda yadda.

[He's looking at the replies so far and laughing just a little. Would you look at that? No moral outrage yet.]

Looks like there's already some bites, huh?

video;

[thedifferencebetween]

Yeah there are! I gotta say, I expected some bleeding hearts wringing their hands or some shit, but...I guess this is a thing people are pretty into!

video;

[moneylogues]

I get the feeling those'll show up sooner or later. But hey, if they wanna make it later, that's fine.

[veggie_vamp]

Oooh, boxing with Pokemon! Kind of like gym class!

video

[thedifferencebetween]

Sure! Gonna use that Ursaring I caught at the ski place for it.

video

[veggie_vamp]

Awww, they'll do great! And they're sooo fluffy! It's a win-win!

[pipers_son]

Now, this ain't my kinda hobby, I gotta say, but I am wonderin' if ya got the necessary, ha.... medical equipment for this sorta thing?

I mean. No need ta test how much blood someone can lose here, yeah?

video;

[thedifferencebetween]

Not to worry, we gotta nurse already lined up! Safety first!

[Bless Rosa, really. Jack wouldn't have had quite as reassuring an answer without her.]

[pipers_son]

Good ta hear~. Wouldn’t want any of the fun people around here ta end up missin’ an arm~.

[...]

Speakin’ of which, what are the rules on sharp teeth…?

All this to see me punch someone in the face again.

You shouldn't have, Handsome ;)

[thedifferencebetween]

I live to serve, babe!

[laughingstawke]

I'll have to stop by. Let you have a look at what I can do
