Franklin VS Pokey Toes
By Robert Brown and Trevor Lake
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. We have what is definitely a grudge match.
Two very young turtles going at it here, in Franklin and Pokey Toes. The
conditons for this one will be a mask and snorkel for each combatant, and a
300 square metre area tank, and it's 100 feet deep. Well, Robert, care to
tell us what led to Franklin demanding this one?"
"Well, in Franklin's last match with Cubbi Gummi, Pokey somehow got into the
battlefield in full scuba gear and attacked Franklin. Not only that, but he
killed Franklin off using his own move. Now Franklin wants revenge, feeling
Pokey cannot beat him face-to-face."
"Well, I'm not sure how accurate that assumption will be. Both of these two
are still rookie status, Franklin only being in a few matches before, and this
is actually Pokey's first. Two of the youngest combatants, Franklin's 7, and
Pokey's 5. Well, looking at the pool, the two are at oppisite ends, in their
allowed equipment.... the gun goes off, and they're in!"
"Seems like Pokey's trying to circle around behind, but Franklin isn't taking
his eyes off the boy for a moment. Franklin seems to be hanging back though,
waiting for Pokey to make his move."
"Well, Franklin does have a couple of years of age on him, and a few more
fights under him. Franklin's keeping one position as Pokey tries to move into
a blind spot. This probably won't be the most exciting fight out there,
people, but we may watching two future stars in the making. Pokey's trying
now to close in at an angle on Franklin, trying for the first strike."
"Pokey gets himself within range, he swings, but Franklin caught the arm! One
punch to the soft underbelly and a neck throw is all Franklin needs to buy
enough time to grab his first breath of the match."
"Franklin looks very good after that first bit of offense. Pokey's finally
settled down, and is now going for his first breath as well. Hmm... Franklin
took a quick breath, and is now seeing Pokey going for the breath... and he's
shooting down on him!"
"If he can stop Pokey from getting his breath, this will be a short fight.
Franklin goes for the spear, but Pokey brought up a knee. Great counter, but
he seems to have hurt himself slightly. He's able to get his breath while
Franklin's dazed, but it seems from how he's swimming the knee's injured."
"Pokey might've had a speed advantage before, because of his smaller frame,
but that's just been negated in a hurry. Franklin's going for him at the top
now, but Pokey's suddenly turned around underwater and grabbed him!"
"Looks like Pokey's trying to end this quick, looking to lock in the finisher,
but Franklin's way too strong at this point, literally shoving Pokey off and
wagging his finger like he's saying 'No no, not this time.'"
"Pokey, fustration already setting in, now is trying to swim above him, but
with that hurt knee, he's not moving very sprightly. Franklin easily swims
up, grabs him by the knees, and is now pulling him down, and Franklin's got
death in his eyes... wonder what's coming up next. Whatever it is, it won't
be good for Pokey."
"Indeed it won't, one can only assume....and yes, there it is. Franklin's
locked Pokey up in his version of the Dragon Sleeper hold...umm...what does he
call it again?"
"The Wet Nap, I believe, Robert. He's only had the chance to successfully
apply it once prior to this point, but it drowns a person real quick, whether
they're using full out gear or not. Pokey's trying to struggle, still in
there.... maybe he's still got a shot..."
"Looks like Pokey's trying to flip over Franklin and reverse it, but Franklin
was ready for it and slams a fist into his underbelly before cinching
the...Wet Nap was it?... back in tightly."
"That should do it, folks.... and it does, it looks like. Yes, Pokey's vital
signs have gone flat, as he goes limp in there under Franklin's arm, drowned.
Franklin looks pretty hapy in there... time of the fight?"
"Hmm, just a shade under 5 minutes. Pretty fast all things considered.
Franklin's got his revenge, and we have another good fight in the books."
"Don't think for one second this rivalry is over, though. These two are going
to meet a lot of time in the future. But for now, we gotta sign off... wow, I
can see why the rest of the broadcast teams prefer full gear fights... anyway,
till next time!"
