[h3][b]Name:[/b] League Prime[/h3]
[b]Type:[/b] Battle League
[b]Sub-type:[/b] Classic Gym League

[b]Mission Statement:[/b] We strive to make Pokemon trainers stronger through the art of battle. 

[b]Organization History:[/b]
[indent]Thomas Rikon was said to be a Pokemon master long ago. Rumor is that he caught over 300 different Pokemon including two of the three [url=http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Legendary_titans]Legendary Titans[/url]. Some say that he never felt the sting of defeat. Others tell tale of rare occasions that he was defeated. One thing is known for sure, he was the best Pokemon trainer of his day. 

Thomas became tired in his old age. Eventually, he no longer had the energy to go out battling every day like he did in his youth. Thomas began to feel bad for his vast collection of Pokemon as too many of them simply waited, never being brought out to play. Feeling this guilt, Thomas retired from battling all together. He released his entire collection of Pokemon, all except for his beloved Pidgeot, the first Pokemon that he ever caught. Pidgeot spends most of its time outside of it's Poke Ball, right by Thomas's side. 

Shortly after Thomas retired, he started League Prime. He hoped that this league would help future generations of trainers discover the beauty of battle. Nothing warms his heart more than watching young trainers and their Pokemon grow as a team.

[b]Membership Requirements:[/b] Only 'Skilled' trainers and above.  

[b]Rules and Regulations:[/b]

[hider=Rules and Regulations]
[list]
[hr][*] We will sponsor up to [u][b]8 Pokemon gyms[/b][/u]. Once that limit is reached, new gyms can only be added when an old gym steps down OR a challenging gym leader defeats the gym that has the worst win/loss record. 
[hr]
[*] All gyms that join our network must use Pokemon of [b]types[/b] that could naturally be found in their surrounding location. This applies any time a challenger is a part of League Prime. 
[hr]
[*] To have a shot at [u][b]becoming champion[/b][/u], one must defeat every gym in the league, collecting their badges. Then you may challenge the reigning champion. Only by defeating the champion can you claim the title.
[hr]
[*] [u][b]If you loose[/b][/u] to the Champion, you may still claim the title of Elite. As an 'Elite', new challengers must defeat you [b]first[/b] in order to challenge the leader. Up to 4 'Elite' members can be active at one time. If you wish to be considered as an Elite but there are already 4 'Elite' members, you can take the place of the member with the worst win/loss record. If you do not wish to take on the title of 'Elite', you must hand over all your badges and [i]re-earn[/i] them in order to challenge at a later date. 
[hr]
[*] If an Elite member wishes to have [u][b]another chance at becoming Champion[/b][/u], they must earn that privilege by defeating the next challenger that comes along. Then they must defeat the other Elite members as well as the Champion. 
[hr] 
[*] Gym leaders themselves may also compete to become champion or an Elite member. Obviously, they too must defeat all the other gyms, the Elite members, and the champion. This means, at some point, new challengers must defeat the same person twice to become Champion (Once to get their badge and once to challenge for their title.
[hr] 
[*] Gym leaders of great might are encouraged to show [i][b]some[/b][/i] restraint, so as not to completely discourage new generations of Pokemon trainers. The name of the game is to not be the weakest gym while not being considered notoriously undefeatable.
