Just a little note to say that Eevee's move set will be from the Gold/Silver games instead of Heart Gold/Soul Silver since Blue doesn't have Eevee there.
______________________________________________________________________________
Red was nervous, the crowd had almost filled and he didn't have Blue here anymore, Henry had escorted him to his seat a short while earlier.
"Gosh, what have I agreed to?" Red nervously joked to Pikachu who was on his shoulder ready to support his trainer in this battle.
'I'm not sure who to send out first, Pikachu will most likely be expected if any of the opponents know me and I'm not that confident with Eevee since he's Blues Pokemon' Red was overthinking, he hadn't noticed the announcer at first who already announcing the opening of the match.
"In the yellow corner, we have Hiker Daniel!" Daniel came out and stood ready in position, waving at the crowd as they cheered.
"In the green corner, we have Ace Trainer Tanner!" Tanner's entrance was cocky, waving the to crowd and shooting a 'thumbs up' in Daniel's direction, the crowd cheered louder.
"In the blue corner, we have Veteran Pamela!" She came out and stood in her position confidently as the crowd was ecstatic, she was a favourite to win the competition.
"And in the red corner," the announcer paused to build the tension "Stepping in for Black Belt Glen we have..... Red, former champion of the Kanto region!"
The crowd was louder than before. Red nervously stepped out, his signature partner with him, he waved with a nervous smile as he looked around the room that was filled with eager spectators until his sight caught Blue, he had been given a seat right next to the arena where Red was, he was able to calm himself a little knowing Blue was close to him.
'Can't let him down now can we?' Red thought to himself gaining a little confidence he used to have while battling.
Blue was stood cheering for Red as his name was called, he laughed a little as he came out of the red corner 'How fitting' he joked with himself but knew how nervous he must have been feeling, it'd been a long time since Red battled competitively, the last time Blue even remembered him battling like this was their battle at the Indigo League.
The cheers began to fade and the announcer could be heard through the speakers that were placed around the large room.
"This is going to be a good one folks, we have some tough competitors here today. Challengers, please bring out your first Pokémon"
Red was hoping the other competitors thought he would use Pikachu first.
"Nidoqueen let's go!" Pamela shouted as she released her Pokémon into the arena.
"We can do this Machamp!" Tanner said, throwing his Poké ball up and catching it again then releasing his Pokémon.
"Tyranitar, go!" Daniel said quickly releasing his Pokémon as Tyranitar came out with a roar.
'Looks like I made the right choice this time' Red thought.
Blue looked on anxious yet excited because he didn't know what Red was thinking, but he knew he'd be planning each and every move in this tournament.
"Come on out Charizard!" Red threw his ball out surprising most of the crowd with his first choice.
'Okay, Nidoqueen isn't much of a threat since its ground moves can't hit us, but we need to be careful since we don't know what other moves it might have... Machamp would be the easiest to take out right now with our advantage but Tyranitar is going to be a big problem here.. Hmm, I'll probably be their first target here but I think I've got it' Red ran strategies through his mind, trying to calculate possible outcomes without knowing the move set of the other Pokémon.
His thoughts were interrupted when the announcer could be heard again
"It's that time folks... The Battle Royal starts... Now!"
A siren could be heard marking the start of the battle and instantly everyone was ready to go.
