Because we always will follow this dream."[/i][/color] [color=dimgray][b]— Opening Theme, [i]Pokemon: Advanced Challenge[/i][/b][/color][/center] [color=silver][color=0072bc][h3]P R E M I S E[/h3][hr][indent][b]< The Story >[/b][/indent][/color] [indent][i]Pocket Monster - in short, [b]Pokemon[/b] - is an overarching species of creatures spanning over hundreds of colorful varieties that live on the planet Earth with us, the humans. In the sky, in the sea, on land - both the humans and pokemons share the world together in peace and harmony. Through encounters and interactions, humans and pokemons form a bond with each other, becoming friends that help each other out in their journey and growth to become a better, stronger individual and team. In Hoenn, ways to showcase the bond between the trainers and their pokemons can be seen through either [b]Gym Battles[/b] or [b]Pokemon Contests[/b]. Trainers who have collected a minimum of 8 gym badges can participate in the [b]Hoenn League[/b], while acquiring a minimum of 5 contest ribbons allows the trainers to compete in the [b]Grand Festival[/b]. This is the story of 4 traveling companions, with big dreams of their own as they set on a journey to make their dream come true...[/i][/indent] [color=0072bc][h3]O V E R V I E W[/h3][hr][indent][b]< The OOC >[/b][/indent][/color] [indent]There are numerous 'What If' pokemon teams for all sorts of fictional characters out there - animanga, video games, or even your non-existent best friend. Then, while we were having wild imagines of [i]Final Fantasy[/i] character teams... this crazy roleplay is born from the ridiculous idea of, "Fuck it. Let's throw the FF characters into the Pokemon world and [s]ruin both fandoms[/s] make both universes double the epicness." Not enough madness? How about turning the professors to follow the Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny line with Cids, Ignis being the perfect FF version of Brock, and overrun Hoenn with Torchic - the Pokemon version of Chocobos?[/indent] [color=0072bc][h3]P O K E D E X[/h3][hr][indent][b]< The Lore >[/b][/indent][/color] [indent][color=steelblue][b]Hoenn[/b][/color] [indent]A region in the Pokemon world located at the south of Sinnoh, [b]Hoenn[/b] is said to be created after Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre were formed. Primal Groudon raised the landmasses and Primal Kyogre filled the seas that would later become Hoenn, but the meeting of these two legendary pokemons resulted in a fierce battle for supremacy. Mega Rayquaza then came to silence the two ancient ones and put them to sleep, restoring peace to Hoenn once more.[/indent] [color=steelblue][b]Starter Pokemons[/b][/color] [indent]In Hoenn, beginning trainers would receive one of the three [b]starter pokemons[/b] from Professor Cid Birch at his laboratory to start them off on their journey: [list][*]Grass: [b]Treecko[/b] [*]Fire: [b]Torchic[/b] [*]Water: [b]Mudkip[/b][/list][/indent] [color=steelblue][b]Gym Battles & Hoenn League[/b][/color] [indent]There are numerous pokemon gyms scattered all around Hoenn, and each of them would be attributed to at least one pokemon type (some may have dual types). Trainers would challenge the gym leaders to a [b]gym battle[/b] to earn badges, which are the symbols of the respective gyms and as proof of victory. Each gym has their own rules, so don't be afraid to ask - or else get your ass kicked so badly you wished you've asked. Gym battles require the trainers to make full use of their pokemons' abilities - even the field and environment - so tactics play a major role to determine the winner of each battle. Collecting a minimum of 8 badges allows the trainer to register for the [b]Hoenn League[/b], where the strongest trainers in the region would challenge each other to the top before getting the chance to fight against the previous champion.[/indent] [color=steelblue][b]Pokemon Contests & Grand Festival[/b][/color] [indent]Unlike gym battles, [b]Pokemon Contests[/b] are more performance-oriented, focusing on the beauty and aesthetics of the pokemon instead. Each contest has two stages: In the first round, trainers (called "Coordinators") would put up a coordinated performance between themselves and their pokemon, but ultimately their pokemon is the spotlight. Points will be awarded by a panel of three judges, and the 8 highest would proceed to the second stage. In round two, coordinators will pit against each other in a battle with a time limit of 5 minutes. Points are deducted if the opponent executes a beatiful move successfully; more if the attack hits the mark. The coordinator who has the highest points left after the time limit will be awarded a ribbon. Collecting all 5 ribbons allows the coordinator to participate in the [b]Grand Festival[/b], where they will challenge other coordinators to win the Ribbon Cup and the title of Top Coordinator in the region.[/indent][/indent][/color] [hr][hr][/hider]
