Arata's been watching the spectacle not far from them both - hiding behind a tree until he's finished his calculations and gathering his data.
Once that's done, though... well, hopefully they don't mind an interruption, because he's speeding out and sliding that ball away from Gallade; stopping just to kick the ball on his knee and give her a cocky looking grin.

After that - well, it's time to show off, right? Which is just what he'll do! He kicks runs towards one of the goals, skillfully dribbling it, before taking it and himself up into the air for a shoot - one that Rosa's probably never seen in her life.
That is - his foot seems to catch fire as he spins up in the air, the ball turning into a huge ball of flame as it streams into the goal. Fire tornado, anyone?

Gallade jumps back in surprise at Arata's sudden appearance, stunned, and Rosa is almost a perfect mirror of the action.

Her jaw drops as she watches him dribble and shoot--and she's clearly not the only one impressed! Her team gathers around to stare in awe at the shoot. Rosa gives a low whistle as the ball hits the net--but immediately afterwards, there's an eruption of applause and cheering from the small crowd of seven that's now watching Arata.

And that's exactly what he wanted; at the applause he turns to face them all with the proudest damn look. ... He was well aware they seem to only have the basics down, but that just makes them easier to show off to.

Once the applause dies down, he finally speaks up. "You haven't been playing long at all, have you?"

"Hit the nail right on the head, I'm afraid. I've only been playing for a few days..." She and Gallade exchange a look. "If that. Up until recently, I just used to watch a professional team back home play." Rosa scratches the back of her head. "I've never had anyone to actually practice with except Excalibur here, and..." She turned to the Psychic-type briefly. "... no offense, buddy, but you're not exactly prime material to practice against, even if you're more humanoid than the others."

The Gallade shrugs as if to say "None taken."

"If you need practice, you'd need someone closer to your level; I could try, but that's a lot of skill dampening... I can't promise I'd help you improve!"

He does give the ball a soft kick though, passing it over to Rosa. It's better than nothing, right?
