Introduction[/u]
Pokemon Handling sounds like a very easy and simple concept, but it is a very dangerous task. It is one of the most extreme sports in the world. Many have died because of inexperience or inflated ego. People must train for years before enter a Competition. The Routines rely on split-second timing. If one attack goes awry, trainer or Pokemon's life could be in jepordy.
History[/u]
Handling goes hand in hand with the ancient roots of Contests. While Sedora was still not too far from the mainland, Contests began as a way to show the beauty of Pokemon. Over hundreds of years, Handling was invented to show the absolute trust between trainer and Pokemon. It quickly became popular among the other regions as a competition to see who had the strongest bond with their Pokemon. While the Pantheon was still honored at the beginning of every competition, the ceremonial significance became lost.
The fall came around 40,000 years after the invention of Handling. On the mainland, because it was so significantly tied with the Pantheon, all traces of Handling were removed. The only place it remained was where it originated. Recently, however, it has begun to spread back to the other regions, though progress is slow.

"Civala!" The Arcanine appeared and Tyla chatted with her for a few minutes in Pokelanguage. Civala nodded and Tyla revealed small, clear wings. She smiled, then flew up into the air, dodging through hoops that Civala made out of blackflame. she seemed taken aback as the blackflame suddenly surrounded her tightly and she plummetted to the ground.
Tyla flew out of the blackflame though its tendrils stayed wrapped around her ankles, trying to pull her back in. Civala blasted Sacred Fire at it, freeing Tyla. The blackflame flared out and took the shape of a dragon. Tyla's eyes grew wide as she flitted away from it, Civala running below her. The Arcanine continued to shoot fire at the dragon, but it did nothing. It blasted Tyla with its blackflame breath and she dropped like a rock, seemingly hurt badly. Civala got her trainer on her back and nudged her awake. They nodded and Tyla weakly got onto Civala's neck. Civala started powering up Overheat and Tyla blasted a powerful blast of Moon the second Civala released the Overheat. The dragon vanished in a massive display of fireworks. Tyla jumped off Civala's back, making her wings disappear and she was completely unscathed.
