Warnings: discussions of violence, will update as necessary

[ Grog thinks he's got the hang of this Shellphone thing by now. Keyleth helped him figure it out, probably. So, when he's wandering around Port Hope at the Festival of the Whales, and he starts to get bored of just stuffing his face with as much delicious seafood as he can, he decides to get his Shellphone out and properly introduce himself to the public. ]

Alright. So, this festival's nice an' all, but I could do with a little more action. I say we set up a bit of a contest. A test o' strength, of sorts. If you think you can beat me in a wrestlin' match, come and put it to the test. Anyone who can beat me, I'll give ya...

[ He pauses. He just got here, so he doesn't actually have much to offer by way of prize money. ]

Uh... I'll owe anyone who can beat me a favor, how 'bout that?

[ Yeah. That'll do. Surely no one will take advantage of how open-ended the promise of "a favor" is, right? ]

Come an' give it a shot. I'll be waiting.

Comments

[dedoink]

[ Grog blinks at the unfamiliar term. ]

That depends. Wha's a Pokemon? Never heard o' one o' those things before.

[ohwowzers]

Well...

[Since he's on video, rather than explain, he beckons to something off-screen. Then, soon, there's a large, buff, red-and-black bipedal feline taking up the screen. It gives Grog an appraising look, before letting out an approving growl.]

Incineroar!

[Kieran then angles the camera back to him, but the big feline is still in the shot.]

This here's Incineroar. My world's got Pokemon instead of what you'd call animals, and Incineroar's one of 'em. He's always lookin' for a new challenge, so if you don't mind, I could let him wrestle with ya. I'll try to make sure he doesn't hurt you, of course!

[He doesn't mean it as an insult, he genuinely doesn't want Grog getting hurt by the big feline's claws or something.]

[dedoink]

[ Grog looks curious at first, but his grin only grows wider and wider when the large cat thing comes into view. ]

Oh, hell yeah, I'll wrestle yer Incina-whatever. I've wrestled my friend's bear loads of times, an' that's always fun.

Bring 'im on down!

[ohwowzers]

Incine!

[Incineroar looks just as jazzed to fight, grinning wide enough to show off all his fangs.]

Okay, I can bring 'im! Where do ya wanna meet?

[dedoink]

Come on down to the beach in Port Hope, outside the festival. I got a little arena set up.

[ By which he means he's cleared an area about the size of a large fighting ring, with boulders and random scrap marking the edges. ]

[ohwowzers]

Okay, I can meetcha there!

[And while it might take him a minute to get there, Kieran will eventually make his way over to the makeshift fighting ring that Grog had mentioned.]

Action

[dedoink]

[ Grog is busying himself while waiting for his next challenger to arrive, basically rearranging the pieces of scrap wood making up the makeshift border of his "arena." But when he sees Kieran walking over, he stops, trying to strike an intimidating pose. ]

Alright, then. Didn't catch yer name, but I'm Grog. Grog Strongjaw.

Where's this Pokey-man of yours?
