Blitzball Training

[pole_position]

Who: Pyrrha Nikos, fellow blitzers, and sports enthusiasts
What: Training!
When: Early May
Where: Blitzball stadium

[Anyone happening by the sports arena today will notice a bit more action than usual.  It's an off year for blitzball, but the captain of the Aqures Chocobos is all fired up anyway as he addresses his team.  There is one Pyrrha Nikos standing as part of the lineup, standing tall and looking confident.]

Okay, recruits!  We're a year out from the next Blitzball World Cup, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna let the Calamity stop us from training as hard as we can for it.  Some of you have been riding the bench for a while now, so it's time to see what you've got.  I'll be announcing the new starting lineup after today's match, so give it all you got!

[A cheer goes up from the assembled players, Pyrrha included, as they take the field.  Several practice games ensue, pitting new players against seasoned veterans, and giving the reserve team a chance to show the results of their training.  Those not on the current starting lineup in particular are rotated through a variety of positions - forward, midfielder, defense, goalie - to see where their talents lie.

And Pyrrha, true to her dedication and natural talent, excels at all of them.  She's only been in a few official games by this point, but she stops every attacker before they even get near the goal while on defense, shoots and charges past the best defenders on offense, controls the game like a professional from the midfield, and even blocks a number of shots as goalie.

By the time the matches are finished, she's certainly a bit winded from the exertion, but seems quietly satisfied with her performance, her teammates grinning from ear to ear alongside her.  They've found their new ace.]

Pyrrha, with skills like that, you can play any position you want next season.

Thank you.  I'll certainly do my best.

[As usual, she's humble and a bit tongue-tied when praise is being directed toward her, but she takes it all in stride.  She makes for the locker rooms afterward, but it's easy for anyone watching to waylay her on the way there.]
