genessia | [Event Log]

If you have gone into the Pokemon Center in Genessia, you might have seen a sign that announces a Scavenger Hunt is going on. Below the sign is a stack of papers with a list of items upon it. Find those items and be the first one to turn them all in and you just might win a prize. But be diligent! You aren’t going to be the only person looking for these items.

[ooc: While the event takes place through OOC means, you can still use this post as a means of allowing your characters to mingle. Have them searching Genessia for the items and stumble across one another! First one to collect the entire list will win a prize. You can find the official scavenger hunt post here with a list of clues. Answers are meant to be posted there, so please don't post them anywhere else. And do not share answers.]

Battling with your Pokemon is only one of the many things you can do with your partners. In Attleton, there is a Beauty Contest running. Anyone can bring their Pokemon’s natural beauty with proper training and instructing. Here, you can attempt that. Change up or style their hair, give them special tailor made clothing like a surfer outfit or wrestling leotard. Let your imagination run wild.

Enter one of your Pokemon into the contest and maybe you might win! Mingle, chat with each other and exchange tips unless you wish to horde them all for yourself.

[ooc: The winner of the beauty contest will receive a prize.]

A cavern has been discovered in Fayren that seems to house many different types of Pokemon, though capturing them seems to be impossible. However, battling them seems to yield good experience for your Pokemon!

Set forth and battle your heart out against wild Pokemon. However, nefarious members of certain organizations might be lurking to attempt to take your Pokemon away from you. So you best be on your guard!

Nova City is home to the Pokemon Stadium. Here, trainers can battle against each other to see who the better trainer is. The stadium is a large, elevated structure that is easy to spot. There are multiple platforms that trainers can use to battle.

Upon special request, environmental changing platforms (imagine something like this on a smaller scale) can be used as well. Certain environments can be debilitating to certain Pokemon while giving other ones an advantage.

[ooc: Completing 3 Battles of at least 10 comments or more with at least 3 different characters will earn you a prize at the end of the event.]

Everglade is no stranger to ghostly activity, but this is different. Ghost Pokemon were now overly abundant in the city and are more like an infestation than anything. Which wouldn't be so bad if they weren't being problematic for the populace of the city.

They already plagued the Guardian's office, essentially taking it over and making it nearly impossible for anyone to get inside. Or to get any work done in there for that matter. All over the city they are causing problems, from knocking things off of bookshelves to hurling small objects randomly a across the rooms to possessing some citizens to make them do random things.

A call has been put out to help with this problem. Going to the Pokemon Center in Everglade will get you a special set of Pokeballs. Capturing one of the ghosts with them with send them off to a special PC to be stored, but access to that PC is denied to everyone.

[ooc: A reward will be given to the players that capture the most ghost Pokemon. This contest will run for the duration of the event. Every 8 comments made will net you 1 Ghost Pokemon capture. Whoever has the most at the end will win the prize. ]

Grell waltzed to her office, take away tea in hand, with her Togedemaru not far from her heels, when she noticed, before even stepping through the door, that things were amiss inside. With an eyebrow raised, she opened the door and was immediately confronted by a ghost pokemon. Being so thoroughly startled (and screaming a bit, no less), Grell dropped her tea in the take away cup onto the ground. Having never seen, nor expected, such a ghost to pop up, she couldn't help her reaction!

That was when Togedemaru came to the rescue. With a tingle even Grell could feel, Togedemaru let out a zap of electricity.

All Grell could think was what in the world actually came from that egg?! and then feeling grateful that it did come out of the egg.

[After the hatching of his Eevee and the confusion of the little critter subsiding, Blaze would be found with it at the Pokémon Center. He was taking in as much information as he could, and he certainly wanted to be able to take care of Eevee properly, and the strange building that popped up around the same time the eggs hatched was probably the best place to visit.

Right now, he could be found brushing the happy little Eevee in his lap. He was oddly relaxed, as brushing the little fox thing was kind of therapeutic. The Eevee had a little blue bowtie around its neck, but wasn't dressed up beyond that.

Probably because Blaze wouldn't know the first thing about dressing it up.]

[The sudden appearance of these strange ghost creatures caught even Cipher off guard, and honestly, they were being a huge nuisance. They kept meddling in his affairs, whether they were important or not, so that was enough for Cipher to get himself involved with the call for help to get rid of them.

So he entered the Center in the guise of Liam, albeit with the bizarre creature known as Sigilyph floating behind him. For something so bizarre to hatch out of that egg, he couldn't help but feel it suited him in a way. It should be of great help in the city as well, seeing how territorial it acted as soon as it hatched.

Now that he was equipped with those Pokéballs, he'd be set to seek out those damn ghosts.

Who ya gonna call?]

Abel is only in the city to help the citizens with his two new companions, Yamask (Ghost-type) and a Solosis (psychic-type) as they are hovering behind him in levitation. Being his pokemon has a type advantage over the ghost-type pokemon that overruns the city, even if he fails to capture them with the special set of pokeballs due to his pokemon being under-level and under-experienced and still quite young, at least his pokemon gains experience from fighting and battling them, and hopefully wrestle free some of the citizens that were under possession.

[Well, if Gale had to have some kind of bizarre pet given to him by whatever powers-that-be that runs Genessia, then he may as well incorporate them into his business somehow. Cute mascots are always good for business!

But Gale is also both fabulous and arrogant, so he'll take his little sheep friend to the Beauty Contest. He's escorting his Mareep while wearing his Hangar Queen uniform, which the Mareep also has its own tailored uniform, made with a lighter material to make sure it stayed cool while wearing its new outfit on top of its wool. It hopped adorably by Gale's side, the hat bouncing up and down on its head.

A Ralts was also on Gale's shoulder, but without its own uniform. She didn't seem to like the idea when Gale pitched it, so she was only wearing a purple butterfly pendant. It was Mareep that was going into the contest, so she was fine where she was.]

Well, walking out and about isn't just good for her, it's good for her pokémon and her dog. Now that the weather is warmer it lets her dress more lightly too, and after viewing the pokécenter and finding out about the scavenger hunt?

That was just one more reason to enjoy the city in general!

Adela would continue walking about then, searching for pokémon to battle and catch and searching for scavenger hunt clues while she went. Of course, she was available to talk, and finding more out about the cool little creatures that have come into the lives of Genessia's residents was a priority for her as well!

[[ OoC: Adela is starting with Squirtle and Chimchar, and she will be catching more pokémon throughout the event. She is also up for battling (once she learns that the pokémon enjoy it and will be able to heal completely after), though I don't mind rnging for victory or finding a battle simulator somewhere if we don't want to just coinflip for the results. Let's have fun with this! ]]

[ A title she hadn't intended on keeping but apparently the Stadium never forgets when you completely decimate a man's pride. It's probably confusing too since she's here to train her new Pokemon, none of which are ice. In fact so far, she's managed to make a water-only team. Looks like things have gotten a little melty.

ICE MASTER WEISS SENDS OUT...

PANPOUR♀ Lv.8
HP: [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||]

...And yeah basically she's here to battle. She has four event Pokemon so far and she's trying to train! Join her? ]

[ Battling in Nova City! Adela hasn't done this before, but after the repeated assurance that yes the pokémon will be just fine and watching a few battles herself, she feels comfortable enough to try it. However, her flabébé isn't high enough level, nor are any others she's managed to catch, Chimchar she's certain won't do well against a water monkey to battle (at least she thinks it's water, it's blue and she's only seen water types being blue so far)... If it's one on one, there is only one choice.

POKÉMON TRAINER ADELA SENDS OUT...

SQUIRTLE♂ Lv.8
HP: [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||]

Adela nods to Weiss, unable to help her enthusiastic grin while she straightens and waits for the official to signal the match start. ]

Let us have a good match today, Miss Weiss. I look forward to our battle!

Edited (formatting fail, THEN adding logic because lol Adela shouldn't know this shit and is making an assumption whoops) 2017-03-25 06:45 (UTC)

[It's been a while for Professor Sycamore to join a real battle, but since those most residents now own many Pokemon for a limited time, maybe he'll try to get back into a real Pokemon battle for a while. Since he's just finished his work for today, he's now wearing without his lab coat. As for his Garchomp, he decided to let her sit this one out due to the fact he's only here to train his new Pokemon for a while.

But just after he arrives at Nova City's Pokemon Stadium, he notices that the City Guardian herself, Weiss is somehow at the stadium.]

Hi there, Ms. Schnee! Hope you don't mind that I'm your opponent for today.

[If Weiss agrees, he heads to the opposite side of the stadium and sends out one of his new Pokemon he caught a few days ago.

POKEMON PROFESSOR SYCAMORE SENDS OUT...

BULBASAUR♀♂ Lv.7
HP: [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||]

He's no stranger when he has a Bulbasaur as he remembers that he gives one to one of the trainers, namely Shauna. Also, he feels his Pokemon is a right choice considering he's facing against a Water-type.

Regardless, he is ready for battle.]

You may have the first move.

[ Entering the stadium is none oher than Neopolitan. And her Meowstic. They're just on the outside of the arena boundaries, and not really up to anything. Yet. They'll see how it plays out first. ]

POKEMON TRAINER NEOPOLITAN SENDS OUT....

♂ Lv.8
HP: [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||]

[ With nothing but a sweet smile on her face, she waits for Weiss to take her turn. ]

[ A water Pokemon vs a Water Pokemon! This is going to boil down to a close battle. ]

Alright then, make sure you "Play Nice," Panpour!

[ She really needs to decide on a name for him, but after this being her third Pokemon event she's kind of holding off so she doesn't get attached until she decides who's staying..

Though in a moment, Adela will probably realize that "Play Nice" isn't just a saying, but a move that Panpour starts using to lower Squirtle's attack power. ]

[ Weiss immediately recognizes the type different. This is going to be troublesome, considering her whole team right now is mostly water types.. She has a fire, but she's withholding from the battle since it would be overkill.. Oh well, it'll be an experience. ]

Panpour, play nice!

[ Might as well start with lower the attack. ]

[ Weiss tries not to start trouble. She's managed to make relative peace with Mercury and Emerald, even having Mercury work for her at this point despite their personality clashes, and he's proven he can adapt. Before when Roman was here, she'd been able to at least work out a deal with him that decreased the level of violent crimes.. even if it was because he was focusing on other things. Still, it helped and they were able to work together. Neo...

Neo she had no read on. And the girl seems to be more interested in Pokemon battling right now, so Weiss gives her an odd look but sends out Panpour regardless. ]

I hope you're not expecting an easy fight.

[ Weiss may not be from a Pokemon world, but she's certainly had Pokemon here for long enough to know her way around them. ]

Panpour, start with lick!

["Play Nice", a move that can lower their opponent's attack by asking one to be friends, allowing their opponent to lose their guard.

He admits that it was a nice tactic, but he knows he got a few tricks up to his sleeve.]

Bulbasaur, Tackle!

[He hopes that Bulbasaur's first attack will hit Panpour despite his weakened attack.]

His second store in Everglade have also been haunted, so he has no choice but to close it down for the duration of this paranormal event should run. Of course, it's out of his hands, but the sudden in influx of the ghost pokemon seem so sudden and out of the ordinary, he wonder what is the cause and source of their appearance.

His pokemon Noibat, the one that hatched out of egg has only one advantage: he knows bite a dark-type move that is effective against ghost types. But that means Noibat needs to be in close-range to make the move effective. He's been using the pokemon to go into combat, considering Sebastian is more of a martial artists and his physical moves just...go right through the spirit creatures.

Either way, the ghost bothers his customers and they're becoming a nuisance, so he has to do something about it.

He send a quick text to Grell, knowing the Guardian is busy, and hardly answer phone calls at times. He never like bothering Grell during her office hours.

"Hello Ms.Grell. The city is over-run with these ghost types. Did you get the pokeballs from the pokemon center? It's a special type of device that can capture these ghosts."

[ Wait what are the pokémon doing?

... What?

Adela seems completely baffled by the Squirtle and Panpour basically playing for a little, unsure of what else to do. It doesn't seem to effect her for too long and she shakes her head before standing tall. ]

Squirtle, use Growl!

[ It seems like the first turn will end without any damage done but rather with stat debuffs... This will likely wind up with the battle lasting ages at this rate, but she'd rather be on an even playing field than to give Weiss an advantage. If there's anything she's learned by watching matches, it's not to underestimate status moves. ]

[Now Abel won't be at a disadvantage, because guess who decided to be brave and come to Everglade to investigate! Anastasia's own home city is said to be the most haunted city in her world, so she is used to the stories and won't mind checking things out. And that's where she find's Abel.

Besides the two recently hatched pokemon she found in her room, she has her Sylveon from last year, a level 26 that should be more than enough to best whatever daunting trial. Not to mention Sylveon's ability to settle disputes through the power of cute.]

Edited 2017-03-29 00:26 (UTC)

March 27th (Assuming each of her mons are levels 20-25 at this time)

[ She'd never known Pokémon training could be so fun! Adela is grinning as she takes the stage in Nova City's Stadium, because win or lose she's really only there for the thrill of battle. She greets her opponent with such enthusiasm, looking forward to the three-on-three match ahead before sending out her first pokemon. ]

POKÉMON TRAINER ADELA SENDS OUT...

FLOETTE♀ Lv.23
HP: [||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||]

[ It's your move, challenger! How will you fight Adela today? ]

[[ OoC: Adela will also be fighting with the rest of her pokémon and has levelled them to be around equal within the range of 20-25 as of March 27th. Let me know who you have a preference for (though please don't just choose because of type preference -- you don't get to choose in the actual games either, it wouldn't be fair if you did here). Assume they have evolved if possible, and movesets will be a surprise. Thanks to Tay for the formatting used here and I got the moving gif sprites from here. ]]

Abel is in the square of the city, looking for any potential people who were possessed. He found that just knocking them out with a move from his pokemon does the trick, but that means hitting people to knock them out of their senses. He's armed with the special pokeballs he gets from the Everglade Pokemon center.

"Ah, princess! Hello! You shouldn't be here. The city is haunted with the ghost pokemon playing tricks on people."

"Yeah, so? I would be more worried about bad men who are not playing tricks."

[Probably the best answer she'll ever have. But she knows her Sylveon, so she's not worried.]
