Emerl was fairly surprised by how that worked, but it would make things easier anyway. He had headed out to watch the match fairly quickly, wanting to see what sort of competition that he'd be up against. He was surprised to see Tails and Amy there amongst the others. Unfortunately on a losing team. He hated the thought of what was about to happen, though at least he wouldn't have to be the one to do it. Though, he hated to admit, the sight of his friends had him figuratively drooling.
