[attr="class","ihead"]

CAMP WINSTRATE

[attr="class","aname2"]

Every life saved matters.

[attr="class","ipad"]

[attr="class","ihead"]GYM DETAILS

[break][break]

"Welcome challenger, to Mauville City's Gym installations, Camp Winstrate. Our Gym Leader, Cpt. Douglas, expects performance under duress, tactical excellence... And the capacity to make hard decisions.
[break][break]
Show him what you believe a life is worth, Challenger."

[break][break]
You stand at the gated chain fence of Mauville City's nearest, formerly closed down Military base, route 111's Camp Winstrate. In the wake of the Megalopolan Invasion upon Mauville, the Hoenn league saw fit to renovate the structure as a preemptive measure to further secure the region.
[break][break]
The Gym Leader is the base commander, Captain Douglas; an officer of whom little is known, save his military and Competitive Battling record. Something of a recluse, he rarely makes public appearances, leaving the handling of public relations to his staff unless his presence is strictly necessary.[break][break][break]

[attr="class","ihead"]EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE

[break][break]

Life is not an expendable resource, but sometimes hard choices must be made. The honor badge is awarded to those whose judgement under high stress, limited time circumstances has proven worthy of commendation.

[break][break]

[attr="class","ihead"]CHALLENGE PROCEDURES

[break][break]

All aspiring challengers must make an appointment in advance.
[break][break]
The Hoenn League's Officers Military is putting its pride on the line and ensuring the highest screening standards on all applicants. This process will take as long as the Applicants make it- be transparent and there won't be a problem. Should the applicants make it through the process, they'll receive a mail detailing a date and time, occasionally, a location as well.
[break][break][break]

[break][break]

IDENTIFICATION. Trainers must provide valid identification. As stated above, the Military is performing a thorough screening process to all applicants- at the ever Rocket-Hating Captain's behest and command. Known criminals with stolen or doctored identification may prompt a plot hook down the line. Obvious liars and violations (regardless of faction) will face in-character repercussions.
CHALLENGE. The challenger may choose between a traditional gym battle, or Camp Winstrate's special non-traditional challenge, The Operation.
POKEMON. A list of each Pokemon's ability and moveset must be provided prior to the challenge, in order to ensure the gym's challenge truly tests all applicants. All pokemon and moves are allowed... if the challenger will risk it.

[break][break][break]

[attr="class","ihead"]TRAD CHALLENGE

[break][break]

[break][break]

A standard battle, on two formats: 1v1 Singles, and 2v2 Doubles. Pokemon only possess one life, and one chance on the battlefield. Plan your tactics as if defeat meant not fainting, but death. Legendary Pokemon may only be brought to 1v1 Singles format.
[break][break]
The Gym Leader doesn't often battle his challengers himself, making it not uncommon for Platoon Sergeant McKenzie, Staff Sergeant Rosario or Drill Sergeant Feng to handle some traditional challenges.
[break][break]
Challengers who stand out to him in one way or another tend to have run ins with a strawhat wearing boy manning the chain fence's gate.[break][break]

[attr="class","ihead"]THE OPERATION

[break][break]

[break][break]

The Operation is Camp Wynstrate’s non-traditional Gym Challenge, intended to put to the test the challengers’ tactical prowess, ability to operate under duress & limited time, and finally, their capacity to make hard decisions under all those conditions while maintaining a solid moral fibre.
[break][break]
The challenger will be given a mission to carry out, and pitted against a team of professional soldiers and their pokemon on specially prepared installations.
[break][break]
The challenger is allowed a maximum of three pokemon.

[break][break]
For details on the challenge, see below.

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

[attr="class","ihead"]

THE OPERATION

[attr="class","aname2"]

Your soldiers, or the mission?

[attr="class","ipad"]

[attr="class","ihead"]BRIEFING & DEBRIEFING

[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]

[attr="class","ihead"]THE GAMEPLAY

[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]

[attr="class","ihead"]ACTION COMMAND

[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]

[attr="class","ihead"]CHOICES

[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]

[attr="class","ihead"]SUCCESS OR FAILURE

[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.
