Ladies and Gents, it's that time again!

With the successes of Castle Vonmoto and PokeCon behind us, we bring you now to...

The Petropolis Grand Invitational

This is a battle tournament unlike any yet seen in Furoh. To celebrate (and test) new Daioh technology, a new stadium has been built north of Petropolis, on the peninsula overlooking distant Charizard Isle.

Here's how it's going to go:

The Preliminaries:
Each participant will be paired up with another participant. First, each person will post their own 1 v 1 battles against an NPC, signifying their entry into the tournament proper. Then, each person will have a PVP battle, 3 on 3. (Either single, double + reserve, or triple battle is acceptable, but must be agreed upon by the rpers). Win can either be decided by a coin toss, by judge (me), or by agreement.

Each combatant will have a maximum limit of 1 day to post (w/one day extension if requested through moi). Failing to post within the time limit will give the opponent a free turn, and they will be free to post again.

The Quarterfinals:
Quarterfinals will be Double battles with Reserve, in the style of the Furoh Gyms.

The Semifinals:
The Semi-finals will be done in triple battle style, with only three available pokemon.

The Finals: The Finals are in single battle format, with full 6 v 6, or scaled down to the smaller number. For example, if Douken Sota were to face Darius Dovakin, they would use only two pokemon each.

The Magic:
Daioh will be testing out its new technology, which will affect Pokeballs upon their registration: All Pokemon will be scaled to Level 50 for the duration of the tournament, and will be able to learn all of their techniques up to that point. If a pokemon is scaled down to 50, it will retain all of the techniques it has already learned. After each battle, the level will return to its original, and the techniques learn will disappear.

No evolutions are to occur during the level scaling period.

Catching Pokemon during the tournament will still be calculated via your current levels, not under the Level 50 scale.

The Extras:
For Co-ordinators, a great concert-hall style Contest Stage has been built for exhibitions, appeals, and any Contest Battles that should happen to occur.

A small village has cropped up around the area, providing food, shoppes, boutiques, and various other activities.

A dormitory-style hotel has been built for all participating combatants. An adjoining hotel houses any guests who were invited to spectate. It is complete with all sorts of fun amenities to be described later.

A small villa with motel like housing has appeared for spectators coming in from all over the world.

Several exhibition matches are to take place throughout the tournament, featuring notable trainers and co-ordinators from around the world.

The Catch:
Do not worry if you do not make it past your first battle. There will be plenty for you to do during the thread.

The Rewards:
For getting past the first leg of the RP and remaining active throughout the preliminary battles and events: +5 levels
For getting past the second leg of the RP: +5 Levels
For staying until completion of the Mass RP: +5 Levels.

Therefore, it is possible to earn a total of +15 Levels throughout this mass RP.

The MASS RP may take place at the same time as your other rps, thus bypassing the 'one rp at a time per character limit'.

Secondary Characters may also be used, but they should not meet with Primary Characters.

Any further questions may be addressed here. I'm happy to answer them.

I noticed that Shadowfication was mentioned. To what level will the RPers be able to interact with that? Will Shadow Pokemon be observed? Fought? Captured? Owned Pokemon transformed?

Not necessarily in this RP; if it gets to the point where characters have to fight TD members, it's not unreasonable to assume that they carry shadow pokemon on them.

In any case, I'm pretty sure you can do all of that in your own RP .

[colourcodedchaos]

When she remembers this - which she likely will, despite her best efforts - Adelaide will swear up and down that she's not interested in Cesc in the slightest and this was all the result of massive head trauma.

[LittleShadowPoke...]

In regards to that post, I'm suddenly more interested in what Team Erection is up to.

[Kamaitachi]

Pun intended?

[LittleShadowPoke...]

It wasn't at the time, but now it is. xD

Btw, Joey is in place for the group split. Am I right?

[Kamaitachi]

Yes; I'm about to get everyone rolling over to the main action pretty soon.

[Kamaitachi]

BLAH POST IS A BLAH BLAH POST POST.

I've gently/not-so-gently moved us over to the last bit of the main thread. Feel free to react and stuff. Once we've sufficiently mingled and gotten our bearings, I'll split the thread into the four groups.

Good luck everyone.

*Evil laugh*

I mean.

I assume we wait for a description of the tunnel before posting in the catastrophe threads?

[Kamaitachi]

That would probably be for the best. We've got a different mod heading up each thread, so it'll be best to see what mayhem lovely setting they've prepared for you.

[switzerIand]

Herp, derp. School sucks, don't include me. Just assume Hunter fell off a cliff.

[colourcodedchaos]

Just a quick FYI for Living Arrow: I'm not having a dig at you or how you play your character. My character is just short-tempered and she cares rather a lot about planning.

[Douken Sota]

Well, it wasclear she has a fear of Ghost types, seeing how she reacted against Reep

[Living Arrow]

@CCC - No worries Lori isn't the most prepared trainer ever and she's a rookie compared to nearly everybody else so she's going to be like that ;p I didn't think you were being mean etc - I recognise that the Doctor can be anal at times and it fit her perfectly

[Kamaitachi]

Well, it wasclear she has a fear of Ghost types, seeing how she reacted against Reep

I don't think the Doctor saw that, so she'd have no frame of reference for Lori's fear.
