[attr="class","omgentop"]NON-TRADITIONAL CHALLENGE RULES

[attr="class","ihead"]

[attr="class","ipad"]
[break][break]

[break][break]
All non-traditional challenges take place in the form of Military Field Exercises. As with all military operations, challengers will be briefed before the challenge, and debriefed after it.
[break][break]
A map of the installations will be provided to the challenger during Briefing. They will also be allowed their choice of loadout in the form of a selection of items, each with a mechanically relevant effect.
[break][break]
Debriefing is essentially an after-interview. The challenger's many choices will be questioned; answer honestly. The Orbeetles are watching.
[break][break][break]


[break][break]

[break][break]
There’s elements of Choose-your-own-story, as well as an economy of actions.
[break][break]
Missions are timed. The Challenger has 10 posting rounds to accomplish their objective.
[break][break]
Player’s have an economy of two actions per round. Their commands are:
[break][break]

• Move [1-2 squares, provided no insurmountable obstacles; All Trainer movement is stealthy, so long as one evades a guard's line-of-sight.]
• Action Command (Can be anything; using a pokemon move, commanding a pokemon to scout, attacking a guard, etc.)
• Shoot [2 bullets, target can be up to 4 squares away, provided no cover/obstacles. Difficulty may increase with distance.]

[break][break]
The player can Move twice if desired. They can forego moving at all and make two Action Commands instead as well.[break][break]


[break][break]
[break][break]
Every round, the player is free to decide what they'll do and how they'll handle their current circumstances. For every Action Command taken, they must roll a dice.
[break][break]
As the DM, The Gym Leader looks upon their actions, judges the level of risk and reward on a (Low | Mid | High) scale each, and then determines if the result of their roll was enough.
[break][break]
The consequences of a failed roll are context dependent.
[break][break]
A Growlithe failing a roll on an attempted Odor Sleuth may simply not find anything, or even lead their trainer astray, but not immediately pay any consequences other than lost time.
[break][break]
A Growlithe failing a roll to scout an as-of-yet unseen, unexplored part of the map will be taken out.
[break][break]

Your pokemon can only attack someone/something it can see, and only with the means available to it. For example, If it doesn't have incredible speed, or a move of considerable range, then attacking a far away enemy is either impossible or of exceedingly high risk/difficulty.
If the player is not entirely certain of whether an action would or wouldn't cost a pokemon, feel free to ask the Leader directly.
[break][break]
Despite its mechanics, the game is fairly free form, and so, if a Challenger is uncertain of whether something is allowed or how a specific action they have in mind would play out, they are encouraged to discuss it directly with the Gym Leader over Discord.

[break][break]

[break][break][break]

[break][break]
Sometimes, players will be given 2 to 3 choices to make based on their previous actions. These choices are context dependent, and generally offer both something to gain and lose. Choices don’t cost the action economy.
[break][break]
[break][break]
The challenger will succeed if they achieve the primary objective.
[break][break]
They will fail if they:[break]

• They (the trainer) are taken out.
• All of their pokemon are taken out.
• Break some mission-specific imperative.

[break][break]

GYM DETAILS

MOSSDEEP GYM's offices have been relocated to their original installations near the city center to facilitate the Gym Leader's movement from his day job to his night job.
[break][break]
Gym Leader Gwyar Wledig, an old hand from the Galar Major Circuit's silver age, has accepted the League's generous job offer after an enduring time in Sootopolis City Police Department.[break][break]
Choosing to represent Steel-type pokemon, he's been tasked with revitalizing the trainer scene in Mossdeep, assisting with the league's re-structuring of the local police force, and offloading the mounting pressure of challengers from other gym leaders.
[break][break]
And of course, ensuring the safety and security of all citizens in Mossdeep from those dastardly rockets as a member of the Mossdeep City Police Department.[break][break]

The gym leader has donated his own funds and commissioned local engineers to renovate a long disused stadium into a public battlefield for both community and Gym use. The stadium is open for community use at all times sans the schedules described below.
[break][break]
Gym Challengers are attended to on Mondays and Thursdays, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.[break][break]
Self-defense seminars for civilians are held on Tuesdays and Fridays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., instructed by the Gym leader himself and assisted by members of the local police department.[break][break]
Pokemon Training Group Sessions led by the gym leader are held on Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m, and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
[break][break]
All seminars and sessions are free of charge and open to the public.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE

Utilization of Pokémon for self-defense and de-escalation in real life situations.
[break][break]
Gym Leader Gwyar Wledig encourages not just trainers but any and all who wish to learn self-defense from him to attend his seminars on Tuesdays, Fridays and/or Saturdays. He also invites any and all who wish to strengthen their pokemon to join the Mossdeep community in Group Training sessions on Wednesdays and Sundays.
[break][break]
With that said, Mossdeep Gym Battles proper are not learning experiences but traditional testing grounds for one's combat competency.
[break][break]

FORMAT: TRADITIONAL

THIS GYM DOES NOT CURRENTLY FEATURE VARIETY in its formats. In other words, there is only a traditional option, 1v1. The battle will end once one of the pokemon has been K.O'd, or once the Gym leader has judged he's seen enough. [break][break]

RULES

[break][break]

Both standard as well as a number of rules particular to Gym Leader Gwyar Wledig apply:[break][break]

[attr="class","ynospace"]

• 
  The following moves are banned from use: destiny bond and perish song. This is standard for most if not all gyms, even for traditional formats.
• If the Gym Leader deems the challenger's attitude as unbefitting of a champion candidate, the challenger will fail.
• If the Gym Leader deems the challenger's treatment of their pokemon as abusive, the challenger will fail, as well as be subject to investigation into trainer malpractice.
• If the Gym Leader deems the challenger has no practical need for the badge (ex: already meets all conditions for challenging the Elite 4; is a member of the elite 4), he reserves the right reject the challenge altogether.

[break][break]
OOC: EBC has set for himself One badge awarded per month minimum as goal. With that in mind, if the thread is waiting for a post from the gym challenger for a week, it'll be archived. Special exceptions will be made for those busy irl.
