They are, but that could cause problems with pokemon that evolve by level. I remember someone battling a Mareep that should have already evolved. And a Pidgey too. Ok, we can do this: you can train your pokemon after you post your battle for the current round, but you must inform me of any level changes before the following round starts. Is that ok?

Ok, Kris, I'll change your entry. Does your Oddish have a name?

Karin, thanks. It would be great to have your help, but it will be even better if you can participate.

Yes, that levelling rule sounds much better. Also, I'll see what I can do to participate while I'm at the college, but it won't be easy at all. All my time spent will be spent on our writing assignments (I have to pass the class if I want to get any kind of credit), and we have limited time on the computers (like two hours each day), about all of which will probably be used on typing up my homework. >_<

Thanks, Gabi! ^^ I'm glad I can switch. It's Petals, my Oddish (F).

I know I'm too late to compete, but I have a question on how a writing contest/tournament works. Do we just write our own battles, with comments, feelings, emotions, etc., and the trainers who write the best ones move on to the next round? Or do we just type in the moves, like "Kadabra used Psychic!" and "Critical Hit! Machop took 107 damage"? I'd like to enter when the next one comes up, so I thought some background might be nice. =^_^=

What happens is that you get matched up with another entry. Your Pokemon don't battle each other, but what happens is that someone gives you your own opponent and you write out your battle. It gets rated on the grammar and description and such. Whoever has the better battle gets moved up to the next round. To get a feel of it you could read battles from the Dragon Tamers Battle Range.

mr_pikachu: Read the battles here. That'll give you a fairly decent idea on how this tournament will be run, and what it's based on, seeing as you don't know anything about it.

[Lady Vulpix]

What she said, except that you're not matched up with another entry. Actually, it's the first of the 2 options Mr. Pikachu mentioned.

Not to be pushy, but Gabi, will the scenario be posted before June the 13th? Because that's when I'm leaving for the college, and I won't be back till sometime in June. If you're too busy, that's all right. I'll just stick to the consolation rounds... Although I'd really like an accurate gauge of my talent, my stories will probably end up too rushed anyway because of my packed summer (after I get back, I'll be working several hours a day somewhere, and I'll still have cello and painting and probably tennis lessons).

[Lady Vulpix]

I was waiting for Danny to post at the Battle Range. Since he's already done it, I'll post the opening for the tournament tomorrow, making June 13th the deadline for the first round.

I may take some time to rate all the battles, since I'm very busy and my Windows isn't working well, but if you manage to log in around June 20th, you'll find out if you made it to the 2nd round, and who your opponent is in that case. Provided that the 2nd round starts on June 20th, the deadline for it would be July 11th. How does that work for you?

o_o tomorrow? isn't that a bit soon... it would defeat the purpose of having training grounds I think <_<.

[Lady Vulpix]

You've been in situations like this one before, you should know how it works.
You can keep posting at the Training Grounds during the tournament. Moreover, it is generally a good idea to write your tournament battle first and then continue writing for the Battle Range until the next round starts. You can use the Training Grounds to train between rounds. Besides, it's the best thing I can do to give everyone who has registered a chance to participate.

oh, you're going keep the training grounds as the active scenario throughout the entire tournament? I was thinking that you were planning to change the scenerio right away. Well, in that case it should be fine ^_^.

[AntiAsh Superstar]

This is Soo I am too lazy to log in Gabi can you let me post my scenario first please? I'm finishing Kassandra's battle for the Rockets scenario and I want to be able to post it today, can you wait for that please? You waited for Danny so can you please wait for me?
