Tully leaves Jace and Sana to gather his own points. Though he's in a new area of the amusement park, the trainers are still doing their thing, but now there are more one-for-all group games like darts and bobbing for apples. Group stuff.

Tully looks around and nods to himself. "Okay, let's get started."
Firstly, he releases Cassie. "Okay, Cassie, long story short - we don't need money right now." Before he can continue, she gives an indignant squawk. "Alright, lemme rephrase that, we need somethin' else more than money. 'Sides, probably ain't too much money around. People 'round here use these cards," he says, showing her the card, "got points on 'em, we need to get as many as we can. Now, probably a bad idea to try stealin' em, but if there are any lyin' around, probably thrown away once the get too low to bother with, well, then I'd say it's fair game, doncha think?" The two share a smile*. "Also, if you should happen to find any dropped money... well, can never hurt. Meet back here in an hour."
With that, Cassie flaps off and Tully turns around, looking at the various stalls around. "Well, might as well start with somethin' simple." He nods to himself and goes towards the darts area. He stops after a couple of steps though and gets a piece of paper out of his pocket and carries it with him as he walks to the darts range.
*You'd think it'd be hard to smile with a beak, but Cassie has proven rather adept at it.

The host of this darts tent welcomes you. "Oh, hello there trainer! If you've never played the darts game over here I'd be happy to explain the rules again!" Two trainers sitting on the ground makes an inpatient grumble. "The cost for participation is 1,000 credits. If you win, you win the pool and a little something from us!"
1d20 Determines the number you hit (If you use a move that expands the range of a Critical Hit and land in said range, then it counts as 20)
Rolling for Acrobatics 1-10 Outer Ring (1) 11-16 Middle Ring (2) 16-21 Inner Ring (4) 22+ Bulls Eye! (6) Whatever your acrobatics lands on is the multiplier for the first number roll a bulls eye landed on Crit would be 20 * 6.
Each player throws 3 darts per turn, first to 301 wins!
-------------------------------------------------------------- The host extends three darts to Tully, "Do your best, trainer!"

"Okay, got it."
Tully looks over the tent. A simple trainer-vs-trainer game - unlikely that the host will be trying to rig the game or scam the players. He puts away the paper, saving it for later.
"Am I goin' first?"

"No, I will so just watch and learn new blood!" One of the trainers retorts. She takes her darts from the tables and throws them in rapid succession. The last one seemed to miss it's mark though...
"128... An acceptable result, hope that takes out your first round jitters."
The other trainer speaks to Tully, "You can go before me, show us what you got ok!"

"Okay." Tully says as he picks up three darts. This wasn't going to be as easy as he thought, but still doable.
After a few seconds getting a feel for the darts and the range, Tully lets the first dart fly, getting a mid-number bullseye. He hums for a moment before throwing the second, getting a less good result.
Picking up the third, he sighs, relaxing for a moment before throwing the third, hitting the twenty on the outer ring.
He steps aside, doing some quick arithmatic. 184 points. Pretty good, but the first guy was pretty good too and I dunno 'bout the other guy. If they don't win before I go, I should be okay. Hopefully.

The first trainer looks awestruck at what happened on the first throw, It'll all go downhill from here, he'll keep messing up while about how to reach for another miracle, ha!
The third trainer gets up and stretches his arms. "Whewwww that looked cool. My turn!" Both you and the other trainer can feel a heavy air in the tent...
"...49?" The aloof trainer falls to his knees.
------------------------------------------------------------- ROUND 2 "It'll be okay my friend." She says as she pats the fallen trainer's back. "Just know that your points will be safe with me as I wave my victory flag across this park!"
"102! Let's go!" Total: 230

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves, there, fella." Tully says as he picks up his first dart. "Ain't over til it's over." He throws the dart, but a little too early, landing an inner-hit on five.
"Then again..."
20 points - 204. He picks up the second dart and throws it, getting a much better hit - inner ring on 17.
272 points. It all comes down to this last dart.
He takes a moment to centre himself before throwing the final dart. When it lands, he's momentarily disheartened to see it land on the middle ring. This fades, however, when he sees the number - 20.
That puts him at 312. Enough to win.

Pride is shattered, the trainer joins the third trainer on the floor. "It's only the second round! What happened!?"
The host carefully steps over the losts and puts a card in Tully's scanner. "You won your first game! Congrats! Here's your prize of 5,000 G-Credits. May Gavin's call guide your way to victory!"
The girl lifts her head up, "You have to be shittin' me... 5,000!?" She tugs at Tully's scarf and walks out of the tent. "
Battle me, for 5,000 G-Credits! I won't say you got lucky, but I can't stand around and get my mistakes slide. So what do you say, winner gets 5,000?" The third trainer looks a bit concerned, but amazed at the same time.

Double or nothin'? Ooh, bad idea. No one ever taught this lady to cut her losses.
Tully shrugs, easily hiding his mental comment. "Hey, if you won't say I got lucky, I will. Coulda gone the other way, no question. But, if yer offerin' a match, well, I'm down. But whaddaya say we make it interestin'?" He pulls out Otto and Xander's pokeballs. "Double battle! Two at a time! Whaddaya think?"

"Fine!" The girl gives the evil eye as she unleashes a Ninetails and Zebstrika. "I'll send you back to square one, newbie!" Zebstrika: 21 Ninetails: 15

Well, wouldja look at that sympathy's all gone! Funny how that woiks.
"Well, like I said, let's not get ahead of ourselves." He releases Otto and Xander onto the field. "Double battle, guys."
The two pokemon nod, knowing what that means.
Then, a thought occurs and Tully also releases his new Bisharp friend, Shanna, next to him.
Shanna immediately goes into battle stance before Tully puts a hand on her shoulder, careful not to cut himself.
"Easy, there, Shanna, you ain't fightin' in this one." He says, making sure that his opponent can hear. "Just thought you might like to watch - get an idea about how we do things."
He looks up at the girl. "Sorry 'bout that. I'm ready when you are." He says, expertly hiding how much he's going to enjoy this.

Confused, she throws her hand out to her pokemon. "Ninetails! Go for that Sneasel. Throw something that he doesn't like at him." She looks as the matchup between Zebstrika and Xander. "Heh... You can throw something at the Sneasel too. Be careful though." Standard Action: Equips Inspired Training on Zebstrika. (+1 to evasion)

Tully hums for a split second, pretending he's put off-balance by the matchup. "Okay, Otto, go for the Zebstrika. Xander, you go for the other side."Otto nods first and hops across the field, cartwheeling around the side of Zebstrika and slashing it before it can turn around. Tully: Standard: Binds Sneak Attack strategem on Xander.
Otto: Shift: Move Standard: Feint Attack on Zebstrika

Xander's eys lock onto Ninetales's and he grins. He takes a step towards it, but then suddenly darts to the side, rushing to the "other side" of Zebstrika, clamping his jaws around its head and slamming into the ground, knocking it out. Shift: Move to flank Zebstrika Standard: Assurance on Zebstrika
Activating Black-Out Strike - if the attack put Zebstrika at or under 25% hit points, he's fainted. Otherwise, he's asleep.

Zebstrika falls to the floor and does not get up. Ninetails falls back and launches a large fire, hitting Otto and the fainted ally.

Otto winces in pain at the blast of flame, having been badly singed. Tully sneers, both at the attack and at this trainer's callous disregard for her fainted Pokemon. "Otto, fall back. Xander, see if you can't give that Ninetails somethin' to think about."Otto backs a couple of steps, running his claws along one another. Meanwhile, Xander runs up to the Ninetails and clamps his jaws around it hard. Tully: Standard: Agility Orders on Xander
Otto: Standard: Use Hone Claws
Xander: Standard: Use Crunch on Ninetales

The trainer recalls Zebstrika. "Sorry about that sweetie, you can rest easy now." She turns her attention back to Ninetales. "You'll have to force your way though. Tell him that getting in your face is a bad idea!"
Ninetales agrees and begins to charge up a big flame to throw at Xander, but all that comes out is a puff black smoke...
The girl makes the most bewildered look. "How is this always happening... YOU DID SOMETHING DIDN"T YOU!... No, you didn't..."

Tully shakes his head. "Didn't do nothin'. Weren't anyone's fault. Sometimes, shit happens." He smiles a little. "Case in point - gentlemen, if ye please?"
Otto nods and rushes up, striking Ninetales from behind with his claws and pulling her head around, just in time for Xander to chomp on its back.
