A Crystal Caves Sponsored Battling Tournament

SIGN-UPS CLOSE AUGUST 30

The podium was filled with sickening junk two weeks after the conclusion of the Tremor Games shindig; three lone crystal cave workers stand high on top of the pedestal pondering over the next idea.

Ideas filled the minds like a perpetual vortex. Complaints arose faster than the swiftness of light, and mindless thoughts hooked on suspicious minds.

After reflecting and deliberating, finally, we determined it was time. The initial start of the bout that attests which captee reign supreme. The scuffle of a life time, the Mêlée Games has arrived!

Opening the hefty marbleized gates, a luminous crimson carpet revolves all the way up to reception. In place of where the soirée was held for the Tremor Games, posed many coliseums that were constricted for access at this moment of time.

Continuing to walk along, you finally reach the entrance to reception. Outside were four trophies with Poké Balls and CCP’s beside them in protective glass cases. Weird, you think to yourself. It catches your eye, and you open the reception doors and notice three people at the reception desk.

“You must be here to participate in the upcoming tournament, no?” one says.

“There’s prizes and stuff :>” another says.

“=O Yeah… sign up >_>” the other says.

It all begins to add up – Those chalices, the poké balls, the CCP’s… they must be the accolades. Instantaneously, your eyes gleam, and notice the three people were not only workers from the Crystal Caves, they’re hosting the tournament! Jay, Matt and Danny equably place the rules pamphlet in front of you.

“Read it >_<”.


~*~

You skip the introductive page with a picture of the South Caverns in the sheltered milieu, and skip to page 2 to impede the “I do’s” of Jay.


~*~

I do have the right to disqualify you in the competition for reasons that will optimistically not be presented.

I do have the right to allot referee’s to designated matches, for augmented righteousness.

I do have the right to change the rules as I see fit.

Tournament is basically open to anyone with Crystal Cave imprisonments.


~*~

“Don’t be scared…” you think to yourself, as you flip the page, and discover the rules outlined on a set number of pages. “Uh oh…”


~*~

Rules:

Welcome to the rules page, we have almost everything outlined here as a guide to help you succeed in this tournament prospectively.

Format (1 vs. 1): A simple 1 vs. 1 tournament is adequate enough for a debut wartime competition for the Crystal Caves. Clear and simple.

Location (New Thread): The Mêlée Games will be hosted in another thread created after check-in closes.

Disqualification Time: 48 hours. Otherwise known as the time that you need to send in your attacks before I declare the other opponent the winner. Combatants will be PMed an e-mail address that they must respond to with 48 hours, just to keep it organized, and so we don’t lose track of battles. Another referee may declare the other opponent winner if the referee of your match isn’t online, so if your e-mail isn’t in our inbox, you are at risk of a mistaken disqualification. Hence, don’t PM / IM the attacks.

When sending your e-mail, the title must include whom you’re battling AND yourself, and the name of the referee. The body must include your attacks obviously, and miscellaneous if such is required. The rest will be handled on its own. This’ll be repeated in the PM that will be sent, so make sure you free some space otherwise you won’t know whom your opponent is!

Pairing System: The same pairing system will be used throughout the whole tournament, and the actual pairings will be posted by Jay. If you wish to know the system after the tournament, please ask one of the referees.

Referees: The personnel are Aipom Of Doom, Jay and Link 10.

Divisions: To make it fair there will be four allotted schisms. Divisions range from Level 5-9. Level 10-14. Level 15-19. Level 20-24. Pokémon ranging at Level 25 and over may not be used, since there aren’t enough pokémon around to create such a division.

Lilliputian Division (Level’s 5-9)
1st Prize: Level 5 “Sleepy” Squirtle (Gender of choice, knows Yawn), 50 CP’s, Mêlée Lilliputian’s Pendant.
2nd Prize: Any item in the Kiosk 30 CCP’s and below.

Amateur Division (Level’s 10-14)
1st Prize: Level 10 “Golden” Bayleef (Gender of choice, golden petals, knows Charm), 50 CP’s, Mêlée Apprentice’s Plate.
2nd Prize: Any item in the Kiosk 30 CCP’s and below.

Senior Division (Level’s 15-19)
1st Prize: Level 15 “Rainbow” Blaziken (Gender of choice, colour of choice, knows Fly), 50 CCP’s, Mêlée Senior’s Trophy.
2nd Prize: Any item in the Kiosk 30 CCP’s and below.

Ancient Division (Level 20-25’s)
1st Prize: Level 20 “Royal” Eevee (Shiny Female, wearing a glittering amethyst tiara), 50 CCP’s, Mêlée Champion’s Crown.
2nd Prize: Any item in the Kiosk 30 CCP’s and below.

Super Effective / STAB / Resistance: There is a ban on super effective moves dealing X2 or X4 the damage, rather, it’ll do X1 damage. STAB and resistance will act as normal.

The Two Arenas: Each battle is allocated a different arena.

1st/2nd Rounds: Normal Arena (Weathering moves have no effect.)
3rd Round [Finals]: Indigo Stadium (Weather moves have effect.)

Discuss divergences and sign up here.

[Dark Dragonite]

Are attachments going to play a major role, say if someone has one and his opponent doesn't, that will affect the battle pretty big, wouldn't you say, although, probably not too much more than a Lv.5 going against a Lv.9??

[Jay]

Got two weeks to purchase one, don't ya?

edit: LOL, kidding, it might've helped if I had received some input from a few particular persons, but I'll dock them. Seems fair.

[Lady Vulpix]

Are the entered pokemon forbidden to battle outside the tournament from the moment they sign in until the tournament ends?

[Jay]

As soon as the pokémon signs up they are not allowed to participate in the Battle Tower and/or the Battle Arena until their respected division is completed.

Though, you can still sign up and edit in new moves when you purchase them wherever, but that's about it.

[Dark Dragonite]

Ok, I will sign myself up now, only for two of the melees.

Man I wish I had a level 24 pokemon.. o_o

I looked back at the old CCCC threads a few weeks ago... and I realized I have captured a pokemon there. My only Crystal Caves one, mind you, I still have to add her to my site. She was captured in V3 I believe, but I had forgotten to check on it, thus not knowing that I caught her. The thread has been deleted. :| I hope nobody thinks I'm lying or something.. I'm not. x_x I wouldn't make up something like this. I saved the page in my computer somewhere, I'll try to find it ASAP.
EDIT: Ah, excellent. I've found it. Bad news is that it's a Mac file, so I've uploaded a screen capture of the saved file. That's why it has today's date and time.
http://www.geocities.com/hexae_tpm/cccc.jpg

I caught her before PA opened, and with my Master Ball if anyone cares to know, because I didn't have any Captured pokemon at the time.. I'll add her once/if she's approved for this.

Avian Freeze

Alright, approved in both divisions.

Hexae

Wow, lucky you. Approved.

Pikachu101

You can find your Corsola's trait on basically any site with a Pokédex. You need to either pick the Hustle or Natural Cure nature for your Corsola, can't have both. When you pick your trait, you can't change it again. That goes with anywhere else.

Go here (http://www.geocities.com/transpire_1/Abilities.html) for the descriptions of what they do. I'll accept Coral into the division when you make up your mind.

A question; What happens if the pokemon was hatched? I am getting a certain pokemon bred for me, and one of the parents is from CCCC, and the other from PA. If it matters, the father is a male Arbok, and the 'mother' a genderless Ditto. Ditto is from Avengers.

[Pikachu101]

I'll take hustle for Coral

[Jay]

Interpol HQ

Good enough. Approved.
Yes, Sandstorm counts as a weathering move.

Nala98

Approooved.

Hexae

The pokémon should contain at least 50% C.C. genes (preferably more), so I guess it's fine.

Pikachu101

Alright, she's accepted now.

I have a question, is what is going on with the Capture Center being closed, and what not going to cancel, and/or delay the tournament??

[Jay]

The tournament shouldn't be delayed as it will continue as normal. No need to worry.

[Rambunctious Jamirus]

Don't really like the fact that Avenger Pokemon cannot be used. Most of our Pokemon are Avengers but I'm not the one who does the rules...

Also, if we have our 15 CC Pokemon already, can we still receive the special Pokemon or do we need to give one up?

Name: Rambunctious

Amateur Division:

Name: Genbu

Level: 16
Gender: Male
Trait: Battle Armour
Attacks: Scratch, Harden, Mud Sport, Moonlight, Rest

Though I probably don't stand much of a chance...

[Jay]

RJ

Avengers and Crystal Caves aren't really supposed to be working together as a team, so that's why this is for CC pokémon only - Not to mention we never got their approval ^__^ Yes, you need to give up someone if you win.

Approved, I take it you're unsure about participating, but it's for the fun. If you don't want to take the pokémon, take the CCP's instead. ^^; Always have an alternative stashed xD;

[aragornbird]

Okay, I taught my Skarmory some new moves. Here's the updated version, just so you know:

Captee’s Species: Skarmory
Level: 11
Gender: Male
Trait: Keen Eyes

[Lady Vulpix]

I'll register Skydancer, my male, level 8 Swablu, for the Lilliputian Division.
Trait: Natural Cure.
Moves: Peck - Growl - Ice Beam - Astonish.
Would it be possible to buy TMs for him before the tournament starts?

He's the son of Kyle's Altaria from CCCC.

Also, are the pokemon from old CCs which were registered at CCCC when it opened allowed to enter the tournament? If they are, I may enter a pokemon I got at Galaxian Pokerebels for another category.

[Jay]

Aragornbird

Kahool! ^___^ Thanks for the updated Aeragorn.

Lady Vulpix

Wow I thought you'd never join lol. :wave: ^.^ Skydancer is approved, and yes you can edit in TMs before the tourney starts. That's the trickery of the tournament, grab a TM out of the bag before the tournament starts to surprise your foe. Heh.

As for the capture center question, I'm going to have to say no =/ 50%+ Crystal Cave genes is required. I just said Avengers since it was the most recent capture center, but by that I mean all but Crystal Caves. Sorry. ;_;

[Avian Freeze]

Okay, here's an update for my Pok&eacute;mon ^^;. I just bought some TMs from the Kiosk.

Apollo now also knows Toxic, Aerial Ace, Swords Dance, and Hidden Power ~ Psychic. He is part of the Senior Division.

I have a feeling that the amatuer division is going to be one by a level 14 pokemon. In other words, the three major contenders right now are the level 14 pokemon.

[Dark Dragonite]

I have a little dillema, I have a Lv.7 Poliwag I wouldn't mind putting in the Lilliputian Division, but I'm not sure where I got him. Normally PA only gives Lv.5 Pokes that I remember, but I really think he's been on my team for too long to have come from CC, so I guess I won't enter him, the 2 divisions I really wanted I'm in.

[Dark Dragonite]

I am curious about how the reffing will go, like will Double team up the speed, or make clones??
Can a poison type be Poisoned??
And so I don't make an idiot of myself, all moves do 1X damage, not counting STAB, or weather, or do weak moves, like fighting against Psychic type do .5, like are strengths still counted, since weaknesses aren't??

[Avian Freeze]

Double Team should only raise the evasion level. Poison types can't be poisoned. And any moves which do more damage because of weakness will be lowered to 1x damage, but STAB is still counted, as are resistances and immunities I believe o.o.

[Wolfsong]

I have one question, right now. How will return be handled with reffing?

[Jay]

Parsec's Politoed

Well it could be two contenders with Level 14 Pokémon, after Steve realized something wrong with Aquaphaze =/ *Waits for Tyler*

Dark Dragonite

Whee, Tyler answered your question ^_^

Avian Freeze

Thanks alot for the help.

Nala98

Return will be delivered with maximum possible damage, which will be 102 normal base power. =)

[Wolfsong]

I would also like to say that Shaka now knows Brick break. ^^

[Hexae]

I'm updating that Alakazam now knows Calm Mind. :)

[Avian Freeze]

Oops x_x *thwaps himself*, I caught Aquaphaze from Pok&eacute;mon Avengers a while ago. In that case I'll enter my Aerodactyl later, I wanna level him up a bit first if that's okay ^^;.

[Pikachu101]

pyro's trait is flame body

[Jay]

Pikachu101 / Nala98 / Hexae

They're all fine. :)

Not a problem at all.

[Rambunctious Jamirus]

Eep...6 days...at least it's the weekend so I can post more often...

Oh, just wanted to say that Ano the Anorith now knows Rock Smash to protect him from those mean Steel types ~_^

[Wolfsong]

I just wanted to add that Shaka, my L.16 Swampert now also knows toxic and Attract.

[aragornbird]

I've just taught my Pidgeot Toxic and Attract as well, along with Protect. YAY! I'm all ready!

[Dark Dragonite]

[Jay]

Well I never did expected three people to sign up for the same division with one open slot left when I have four hours sleep. I'm afraid it's first come first serve, so Steve gets in.

Perhaps Rambunctious or Andy would like to enter in another division when possible? And just for future reference, Andy, you may only enter one pokémon in one division. There's... ugh, 1 slot left in the senior division and many left in the other 2 divisions. =o

Thanks for the updates though people :o

Who do u keep calling Rambunctious? :mad: Just kidding, but last time I checked I was still Julina. XD Anyway, I don't have any other possible Pokemon in the other divisions so I guess I'll just wait till the next Tournament. :)

[Dark Dragonite]

Julina, take my spot in the Amateur division, you were right after me, and I have 2 other pokes in the tourney, and I have no want of a Bayleef, frankly, I'm not 100% sure about Blaziken either, but I want to test Blarg out, since noone wishes to battle me at the BT, however I am liking the shiny eevee, Umby's are helpful :)

Wow, thanks Steve! ^_^ Okay, so my Feraligatr is still in the game. I owe u one, Steve. :)

[andyizcool]

I really want to win one of these great prizes but I have no captured Pokemon to fit in because the places are full so I still have 4 or 5 days to catch one. Also will there be Tournaments like this in the future because I like this idea of one?

~Andrew

[Rambunctious Jamirus]

Ano, the Anorith, knows the Rock Tomb attack thanks to the Kiosk :)

[Pikachu101]

Now Pyro knows Solar Beam thanks to the EMT (If he can learn that I'm going to be confirming that later)

[Dark Dragonite]

I checked:
pokemondungeon
pokemonfanuniverse

both pokedexs say Magmar, or Magby cannot learn Solar beam, or any other grass move, however if you are trying to cover a water weakness, it does learn thunderpunch.


I notice what I interpret as a lot of people trying to cover weaknesses, meh, just my observations.

[Pikachu101]

Thanks DD so now I have two worthless TM's from the EMT
Reflect and Solar Beam

[Dark Dragonite]

No TM is worthless, you may have another poke who can use them, AC or CC, if not, and you don't plan on getting one that does, sell them, someone may need them.

I have a Splash TM, only reason it isn't worthless, is that it is kind of a trophy from the last games.

[Enile Zemula]

Are we allowed to train before the Melee actually begins? I mean, after we've signed up?

[Dark Dragonite]

Before you post your poke for approval, you may train it, after it is posted, and/or approved, no.

Also, you only have until the end of August to get posted, and approved, and hopefully the rest of the spots will get filled soon!!

[Jay]

Erm wow o_o Thanks a lot Steve. You've worked a lot to help out, and at the right time too! lol, thanks.

I've lost a lot of motivation recently, so I hope I'm up for reffing. I should be... I have to be x_o

I'll count the Mêlée Games Sign-ups as closed from around 71 hours, 45 minutes from now.

[Avian Freeze]

I told you again, but I hope you feel better Jay ^_^. Anyway, I'm going to be entering my Aerodactyl, Eben Avis now =3.

Amateur Division
Captee’s Name: Eben Avis
Captee’s Species: Aerodactyl
Level: 14
Gender: Male
Trait: Rock Head ~ Cannot be hurt by recoil damage
Moves: Wing Attack, Agility, Dragonbreath, Double-Edge

I'll probably be adding moves as well just to be safe if that's okay o.o.

[Jay]

Just a hint for everyone, but rather than purchasing super effective TMs against your own weaknesses, you should rather be concentrating on STAB moves. People who use them often will most likely end up winning the division and continuing on to the se.... *cough* I shouldn't have said that.

Avian Freeze

Meh.......... my motivation is improving, but thanks anyway for the get well ^_^ It helps *has a cold too* ;_;

Sure you can add new moves, just make sure it's before 70 hours =X *Exchanges Aquaphaze with Eben Avis*

[Wolfsong]

Thanks a lot Steve and I will, just that Rachel's Dratini is Level 8 =D

Andy: okies. you're in now, but you can't level up now that you've registered =x

[Rambunctious Jamirus]

*rushes in* Okay, bit of an announcement. After finding out that my ignorance has turned against me, I've renamed Ano to Bubba from the shrimp guy in Forrest Gump. Seems appropriate (unlike the name I gave him out of ignorance). Sorry if this isn't anything very important but I don't want to go on with his old name.

Funny, he's the second Pokemon I've renamed. The other was Lavender from Sapphire to Electra to Lavender.

[Everoy]

I have name changes for both of my pokemon.

Baruk = Aru
Tamaza = Aza

Thanks much for the updating, Steve! I'll post the next one now and hopefully the last before the sign-ups close =/

Chris / RJ » Name changes taken care of.

Enile Zemula » Okies.

I'm entering one of mine to fill up the Ancient Division, though, if magically three different people wish to participate in the division in 25 hours then I'll remove myself, however I can't see it happening.

What will you do to fill those empty spots if the time runs out?

~Andrew

The tournament will continue, but some people may receive a free pass to the next round.

Doesn't matter, just means they won't receive levels for their wins.

Special thanks to Dark Dragonite for helping =D

All combatants will be sent a PM within 6 hours, if you don't get one, we have a problem. I suggest when you read this message that you clear some space instantly, otherwise, your opponent is automatically the winner.

No rush, you still have up to 48 hours to send in your attacks (that is, 24 hours after the pairings have been posted, which is in 24 hours from now), so I suggest you clear some space as soon as possible. Other important information will be sent via PM.

Good luck to all participants!

and I'm filling up the last spot in the senior division. The other two divisions will continue under special conditions sent via to the participants in the sectors.
