Gyms

Revision as of 14:36, 2 September 2016

The gyms function as the representatives of the Pokemon League in the Kasei Region. Each one represents a dual-typing which - while not always complementing each other in battle - make up a unique set of schools all their own.

PC Leadership is denoted as appropriate. If you wish to apply for a gym yourself, please read the Gym Application and muck-mail a plot staffer located in +staff.

Qualifier Challenges

To initiate a Gym Qualifier Challenge, you must be standing in one of the eight Kasei Pokemon Gyms. Before you can challenge the Leader, you must first defeat four of the Gym's trainers in a Qualifier Challenge in a back-to-back gauntlet with no healing between battles. Your items will be temporarily disabled for the duration of the challenge, but you will be given four Hyper Potions, two Full Heals, and two Revives to use during the course of the Challenge. All pokemon are forceset to level 50 for the duration of the Challenge.

+gymchallenge: Begins (or continues) a currently engaged Gym Qualifier Challenge.

+abortchallenge: Aborts a currently engaged Gym Qualifier Challenge.

Note that the Pokemon League, as a national organization, disallows fusions from competing in official League events owing to their superior strengths over normal pokemon, and thus fusions CANNOT participate in Gym Qualifier Challenges.

Gym Leader Challenges

+leaderchallenge: Put your name on the waiting list to challenge a Gym Leader. You must be standing in the appropriate Gym and have completed the Qualifier for that Gym.

All pokemon are set to level 50 for a Gym Leader Challenge, and fusions AND Legends. cannot participate.

If you win the Challenge, you receive that Gym's Badge. If you lose, you must retake the Gym Qualifier Challenge before challenging the Gym Leader again.

Shale Valley Museum

This gym is unusual in that it is housed in the Shale Valley Museum of Paleontology, one of the most renowned and expansive museums in the region. Wandering through the museum itself, one might well find Professor Stone - the curator of the museum - guiding a tour group through its halls, pointing out various exhibits and explaining their origins with a tone of obvious pride. Even challengers to the gym leader are encouraged to take this tour, to gain an appreciation for the history boasted by the city and the hard work that's been put into excavating these relics.

The arena itself is located in an underground cavern hidden well beneath the museum, the original dig site upon which Shale Valley was founded which has long since been thoroughly searched for any items of archaeological significance. Replicas of fossils dug from this place have been set along the walls to offer a certain aura of authenticity, and the entrances stands to either side of the battlefield each have a pile of hardhats and a sign encouraging spectators to take and wear one; the support beams for this place are well-constructed and sturdy, but the safety of spectators is of paramount importance.

The field itself is of earthen construction, with only a few sparse areas of water interspersed here and there as a concession to water types. Apart from these, the field is wide-open and free of distractions and obstacles, allowing the pokemon of both the leader and the challenger plenty of room to fight to the best of their ability.
