Tower of the Ascended

[Ayeun]

The TM of the Secret Garden is:

- Synthesis.

Usable by all members of the grass assembly by default, the Synthesis TM can be taught to any one pokemon of the team that defeats the Secret Garden.

[DarkestLight]

o.o No brainer there :O

Not your choice of move, but by the fact every grasser is cool with it.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Posting here as well. Deadline for all E4 teams, arenas and TM's is June 1st!

Also, same deadline for Gymleaders TM's.

[DarkestLight]

>.>...Yo is Secret Sword still allowable for me? I think it might fit me more.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

There are chances to change team-members then on specific dates, or after certain accomplisments; furthermore, there will be options to change your TM (for both GL's and E4), but those will be highly rare. We'll get to these things later, though.

[DarkestLight]

I'll get on Elf and Weezy Also gotta make sure I picked the right move....Either Secret or Sacred.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Ill get mine up in the next day or so. Im doing a Safari zone to finish off my team but its takin a while.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

There are chances to change team-members then on specific dates, or after certain accomplisments;

These options were designed so you can switch teammembers later when you have a new one (since safari zones tend to take a while). So a team of seven will do, then you can swap out for your legend/powerhorse/newcatch.

[Blademaster]

So I need a TM and an arena...

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you don't have all your shit done by June 1st?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Oh, I've got something planned

[Ayeun]

You forfeit your e4 possition to one of the gym leaders... And then Chaos takes the empty gym, and you have to earn all the badges to get to the E4, and then beat all the E4 to get a slot in it again.

[Darth CookieMonster]

How come Chaos gets it? haha

[Ayeun]

Because Chaos was the next in line (ie - He won a Gym match just after DF and I got our gym's.)

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Chaos wouldn't get the next gym just because he won something earlier. Everyone would have a fair shot. Anyway, just post before 1st June

[Ultimate Charizard]

Well tap me on for....

Charizard (m - Blaze) (Duh) *MagmaStorm*
Heracross (m - Guts)
Gengar (f - Levitate)
Tauros (m - Sheer Force) *MagmaStorm*
Ditto (Imposter)
Gabite (m - Rough Skin) *MagmaStorm*
Pikachu (m - Lightning Rod)

Arena will be a random choice arena. Similar to the Indigo League that can alter its stages at will, at the beginning of the fight, before any pokemon are sent out i will roll a dice. The number corresponding to a standard arena (ill write descriptions in later) with different floors and some have different effects.

1. Normal - Standard indigo League Arena. No effects
2. Grass - Overgrown grass, overhanging trees. Smaller pokemon can hide in the grass, flying pokemon are hindered by the trees.
3. Water - Misty's gym basically. Large Pontoons across a pool. No other effects
4. Fire - A Rock based Volcanic floor with small streams of Lava running across it. Digging underground is banned and ground attacks like Earthquake run the risk of exposing the lava beneath the user of the move and hurting them back.
5. Ground - Brocks Gym. Rocky floor with a number of small hills/piles of rocks to uses as cover etc.
6. Flying - The arena has no floor other than a number of stilt like platforms (Similar to the Charizard/Magmar fight at Blaines Gym in the anime without the Lava). No secondary effects other than the need for an Agile pokemon. Falling damage can be taken into account on the ref's discretion.

Pencil in Magma Storm as my TM. Ill need time to make one official but if i miss the due date then thats it.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Ok, I added in the info.

I would like to go with Doom Desire as my TM. Gonna post pokemon later as I gotta run now

[Blademaster]

OK, it's time to get to work.

BLADEMASTER

Pokemon: "The Enlightened Mind"

1. Muladhara: Hookbill, Torterra(M) - Overgrow
2. Swadhisthana: Dorrie, Kingdra(F) - Sniper
3. Manipura: Rawk Hawk, Blaziken(M) - Speed Boost*
4. Anahata: Thunderhand, Electivire(M) - Motor Drive*
5. Vishuddha: Boolossus, Drifblim(F) - Aftermath
6. Ajna: Grand Star, Starmie(N) - Natural Cure
7. Sahasrara: Doopliss, Ditto(N) - Impostor

* = Pokemon that knows this E4 TM, Aura Sphere


Arena

Enlightenment of the mind allows one to accomplish absolutely anything...

Cybercraft

A single futuristic room, with dark grey walls given vibrance by luminous blue and yellow circuitry, all connected to what looks like a sleek, metallic dental chair with a spotless silver dome on the ceiling above it. Sit down and relax, have a look into that hemisphere... It's relaxing, isn't it? Let its reflective glow fill your eyes... and your mind...

FWISH!

Welcome to my battlefield. A randomly-generated world of subtly overlapping grasslands, forests, hills, deserts, mountains, taigas, beaches, volcanoes, tundras, plateaus, rivers, lakes, swaps, ponds, caves, caverns, and oceans. Though lush and vibrant, no living beings occupy this space, which is made entirely of perfect cubes. From tiny square pebbles to immense segments of tree trunk and everything in-between, the world is thusly pixelated.

Unlike in a conventional battle where the combatants have 3 moves each, here in Cybercraft each combatant has a fourth move slot that precedes the standard three. During this time, the Pokemon fighting can use one of three moves: Harvest, Sculpt, or Idle.

Harvest allows the user to collect up to ten blocks of their choosing from the surrounding environment.

Sculpt allows the user to convert any number of the cubes that they've harvested into items or weaponry.

Idle allows the user to forgo the collection or assembly of blocks in favor of preparing for the next round of battle. An Idling Pokemon gains 2 HP and 2 EN (These increases cannot go past the maximum 100% every Pokemon starts with.).

Everything from this moment onward is up to the imagination of the battlers and the referee. Perhaps you'll have your physically-weak Wobbuffet or Kadabra Harvest a few blocks of wood and stone in order to later Sculpt a hammer and use Hammer Arm. Or maybe you'll bolster your Jynx's defenses by Harvesting wood and ore in order to Sculpt a shield that she can better endure attacks with.

Or maybe you'll be more creative? A Fire attack could turn sand into glass... Glass and a few wooden cubes could provide you with an unexpected Mirror Coat, followed up by a blinding Mirror Shot. Or perhaps you'll find some iron ore and use an Electric attack to magnetize it? Maybe you're facing a powerful Dragon and are in a watery environment... A Hail storm could turn that water into the Dragon's bane...

No moves are banned in this world, but some may not be as effective as others: Ice Beams will surely lose some power in a desert, and Flamethrowers won't do much damage to a Pokemon in a lake.

If you think you have the imagination to win, then come to my world. I'm always ready to play...

TM64: Aura Sphere

Usable by Rawk Hawk and Thunderhand, any Trainer who beats me will be allowed to teach Aura Sphere to one of the following Pokemon:

1. Any Pokemon capable of defeating The Enlighted Mind.
2. Any humanoid Pokemon (Pokemon in the Humanshape Egg Group, Ralts' evolutionary line, and Scraggy's evolutionary line; others may be added as time goes on).
3. Any starter or Legendary Pokemon.

[DarkestLight]

O.o Blade The environments are set by you, the challenger or decided randomly throughout by the ref?

Oh and @ UC: lol Ash much?

And Yo My TM is Secret Sword...for now. Maybe in a few months I'll swap for the other one. Right now, Secret Sword is the shit.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Not deliberately Ash theyre just the ones i favour.

Pikachu will be replaced once i get Electross evolved and Tauros has his replacement coming from the Safari Zone.

[Blademaster]

O.o Blade The environments are set by you, the challenger or decided randomly throughout by the ref?

I'm going to set them myself by using a map generator that works in Minecraft, and then having an RNG set the coordinates for an epicenter.

...Expect a lot of random underground stonework.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Hey, lookie here, I stole Blade's format

ELITE FOUR

MeLoVeGhOsTs


Pokemon: "Za Suna Nana"

1. Yui, the taste: Mawile (F) - Intimidate*
2. Kamon Nova: Magcargo (M) - Flame Body
3. Joey Fissure: Flygon (M) - Levitate
4. Katara, the sight: Empoleon (F) - Defiant*
5. Izayoi Aki: Ferrothorn (F) - Iron Barbs*
6. Kuwusama Iwa: Rampardos (M) - Sheer Force
7. Ninke Li: Mandibuzz (F) - Overcoat*


Arena: "Mineral Cage"

Mineral Desert is still our battlezone, yet this time a more specific part of the desert. As we approach our destination a more vicious sandstorm gets noticeable. Towering in the distance is a familiar object: an obelisk. A giant obelisk to be precise, huge steel archs sprouting from its top touch the ground while rocky barriers cross the arches horizontally, forming a round desert cage about 100m across. This is the battlefield.

Unlike before, this strange, but harsh sandstorm never subsides and permanently rushes through the cage. The mysteries of this place are known to only a select few, but I shall tell you this to make it fair:

This powerful sandstorm has all aspects of a normal sandstorm and a few extras. It's possible to use it for personal gain, but it holds dangers as well. First off, pure ground pokemon get an Auto-Sand Veil, pure steel pokemon get Auto-Sand Force and pure rock pokemon get Auto-Sand Rush as added powers. These abilities don't replace the original ones, but can be seen as extra hidden abilities awoken by the mineral energy. They last until the pokemon faints and can’t be nullified by Gastro Acid.

Every four rounds there's a chance that one of the following three events takes place inside the cage: a Sand drizzle will fall, providing -3 acc drops for non-desert pokemon for two rounds (Overcoat, Sand Veil and Sand Rush users are protected aswell); a Rock Armor will appear (four floating obelisks linked by mysterious energy appear around one random pokemon) acting as a reflect+lightscreen for one round; or one random pokemon gets a Shadow Sand Clone (substitute worth 10HP).

Furthermore, Mineral Desert's extreme heat reduces the damage of water and ice moves by 1/3. Last, Earthquake and Ingrain won't work because of all the sand.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

I am thinking think that my TM challengers would get for beating my gyn shall be Earthquake. As I do have a lot of Ground/Rock pokemon on my team and a fair amount of them would see play in future gym matches.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

So, E4 has posted everything. Great! We just need Weasie's TM and we're good to go.

You can still change as much as you like until June 1st, though.

[DarkestLight]

Think my Gym is almost done...where's that funky TM Sprite page...

[Ayeun]

Adjustments have been made to the secret garden.

[Ultimate Charizard]

MLG i dunno if your making the 'E4 and their teams' thing official but my Gible is a Gabite

One thing i wanted to check, the TM's the challengers can win from us, can we assign them to our own Pokemon or do we have to apply to the Committee? And is it only 1 or as many as are compatible?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

As many that are compatible of your own E4-team. Now in your 'E4-post' here, you should point out who of your team knows the move and which other pokemon are compatible with the move if they manage to beat you.

Like, most likely, only Fire-types; and possible exceptions perhaps?

Also, evolutions are logically allowed for your E4 team.

[Ultimate Charizard]

No i mean it was a Gabite when i registered it you just put Gible lol.

As for Compatibility, id say anyone that can learn Flamethrower AND Fireblast can also learn Magma Storm.

Is it just my GYM team that gets it or anything compatible on my entire team?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Just your E4-team.

[Blademaster]

Goddamn thief!

[papabopp]

can you use pokemon in a gym match if they are already in another battle?

[Blademaster]

Are you talking about the Gym Leader or the Gym challenger?

[papabopp]

The challenger

[Greyfox]

Challenger yes, Gym Leader no.

[papabopp]

hmmm, well, any gym leaders free?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

According to front page. Darkestlight, Dogfish and myself are free for battle.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Sorry for double post.

But just a clarification, the tutor move we picked. Is that move useable by all our gym pokemon, even then ones who wouldn't normally learn it?

[Greyfox]

The TM can be used by all of your gym pokémon, provided they can viably learn said move (even if they can't learn it in the games).

For example: UC's TM is Magma Storm, and he says that any pokémon that can use both Flamethrower and Fire Blast can learn it -- that means anyone on his gym team who can use both attacks can also use the TM.

[papabopp]

I challenge DL or Dogfish.
so if I lose against a gym leader in a gym match, I cant ever re-challenge that gym?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

No, you can. As much times as you like
