VALORANT: GO!

It's Time to D-D-D-D-D-DUEL!

"Oh what a fine man~ Who will fight him?"
"I will."
"Ahh- Viper...?"
          Viper stepped up to the other side of the floor, menacing as ever. Chamber's face lit up, coy yet nerved. He swallowed, sending out his Sobble, Viper furrowed her brow, sending out her Bulbasaur

"Bulbasaur...!"
"Sob? Sobble?"
          Chamber's Pokemon turned around to look at him, tilting its head as if it was asking a question. Maybe the question was why, maybe who. Chamber didn't even notice it, sweat running down the sides of his infamous grin. This was his moment to impress her, impress himself even

"Let the battle, begin!"
"Bulbasaur, poison powder!"
"Bulba-saur!"
Viper started on cue, her Bulbasaur already unleashing its poison powder from its bulb. Chamber's Sobble had noticed it, they wouldn't miss a beat-

"Sobble, dodge!"
"Sobble!"
          Sobble ducked to the right of the spores, letting them flake out above the ground where it once stood, fettering out onto the floor.

"Was your Pokemon too busy looking at me- or was that you?~"
"Shut up and fight, vine whip!"
"Dodge it!"
         Viper didn't spare Chamber time for banter, unleashing another attack from her Bulbasaur, luckily, Chamber's Sobble was as agile as he was charming, which to Viper didn't seem much but- you'd be surprised, Chamber thought

"Sob-ble!"
*THWACK*
          The vine missed, Bulbasaur was open, Chamber wouldn't miss the opportunity, he remembered, the Sobble's aim was good earlier-

"Water gun! Now!"
"Bulbasaur dodge it!"
"Bulbasa-"
*FSHHH*
          Bulbasaur was far too clunky and slow to dodge the water gun, blasting it back a considerable amount. Good aim, hard hits, cunning, it was a spitting image of him, Chamber thought.

"Mine can dodge, is something wrong with yours?~"
"Quiet! Vine whip again!"
*THW-*
"Dodge and counterattack!"
"Sob-ble!"
*WACK- FSHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
          Sobble didn't disappoint, sidestepping the second vine whip and responding with another water gun, another direct hit, another step toward victory. Viper's Bulbasaur seemed weakened, its leaves wilting from the water, its been blasted in the eyes twice now, it fumbled-

"Bulba... Bulba..."
"Don't just sit there- Attack!"
          Viper's Bulbasaur readied its vines in the air, water still in its eyes, it blindly held them up - it was easy to tell where they'd land. Sobble and Chamber saw the opening, ready to capitalize on their opponents' vulnerability-

*THWACK*
"Again! Left!"
*THWACK*
"Hit them!"
          Chamber's Sobble weaved around the blind vine whips elegantly, maneuvering closer with each miss, honing in for the kill. Chamber smiled

"Let me take you out to dinner and maybe my Pokemon can-"
"SHUT UP! VINE WHIP!"
*THWACK*
          Another miss-
"Ahh... that is a shame, I honestly would've let you win- Sobble, send them my fairest regards~"
"Sob-ble!"
*FSHHHHHHHHHHH*
"Bulba-..."
*FSHHHHHhhhhhh*
          A massive blast of water emitted from Sobble's eyes, practically drowning the poor opposing grass type, the Bulbasaur stood its ground for about 2 seconds before getting launched into the rear end wall. Viper looked back at it in frustration, recalling it before the Professor even had a chance to call the fight to a close. Viper growled at Chamber, storming to the back of the crowd

"A good fight Viper~"
"..."
          She stared him down while he recalled his Sobble, she had a certain spark in her eyes; vengeance, hate, murder, maybe all 3 - such a cold woman had caught his heart, he loved the chase, Chamber thought.

"Another amazing battle! The winner is Chamber! Now, as a note for you all, never give up! Despite having the type disadvantage, this fine gentleman scaled the mountain, crossed the ocean, and rose to the challenge! Find ways around your opponent's arsenal and act accordingly, you may be able to make a miracle happen, just like this fine young man"
"Ha- Merci~ Truly flattering, but it was no miracle - all skill~"
"Hmhm~"
          Chamber and Professor Cherry Blossom shared a devious smile and a handshake before he took his place amongst the others once more. Leaving the floor open to another pair of fighters, who just so happened to be a certain star seer, and a familiar tech-head.
