AN ANCIENT JAR WITH AN UNKNOWN PURPOSE HAS BEEN DISCOVERD.YOU MUST RETURN IT TO THE RUINS TO FIND THE TRUTH. WILL YOU CATCH LIGHTNING, or will you fall to the natural ferocity of the pokemon world? “You must be Michiko’s Pantry Raiders,” said the Gumshoos, eying the newly-assembled party of Pokemon. They were here for the expedition: no trainers permitted. “Huh. Think you can live up to the name?”The mongoose folds his arms behind his back, pacing in front of the Skitty, Riolu, Dunsparce, and Falinks with a critical expression. “They call me Shuu. Mickey’s put me in charge of your expedition, so you’ll be answering to me back here at Ground Zero. Here’s your badges.”He passes out a quartet of Explorer Badges, which look curiously similar to the rectangular Modern Badge given out at the Petalburg Gym. “Something bad happens, activate one of these and we’ll send someone out to fetch you back. Gotta give back the badge, though. Here's your packs, rations, and healing supplies too. Don't waste 'em.”Last, he hands the four of you a large glass jar with an earthenware seal. The material is slightly frosted, worn like sea-glass and weathered by time. There’s a strange, luminescent quality to the jar, as if it’s made from an unusual material. “Last thing: debrief. The big man’s studying this artifact right now-- the way the theory goes, it was used to collect lightning by the ancients. Don’t,” the Gumshoos said very clearly, “Break this jar. We need you to take it to the top of the MONZEN RUINS before the storm hits, and see if there’s truth to the theory. Maybe it’s just a legend, who knows. Maybe it does something totally different.”A gleam seemed to appear in the creature’s eye. “Or maybe you’ll catch some lightning.”A DRY RIVERBED stretches before you, winding deep into the rocky, cactus-studded hills. Ominously—or perhaps fortuitously—dark clouds collect on the horizon, foretelling rain. Shuu coughs. “Better get going. Storm’s on its way.” ONE OF YOU MUST TAKE THE GLASS JAR.
Whoever has the jar will suffer a -5 penalty to rolls for the round. You may change who’s carrying the jar at any time. Your Pokemon have individual bonuses based on their typing: - Falinks (Fighting) +10 to Battle
- Riolu (Fighting) +10 to Battle
- Skitty (Normal) +10 to Progress
- Dunsparce (Normal) +10 to Progress
Thank you for taking on the PROGRESSIVE CHALLENGE!
This thread will have weekly updates. Please reference the mechanics doc for how to play! As a general rule of thumb, you'll make two rolls per round with the goal of exploring the current floor and progressing to the next one until the challenge is complete. Track your resources carefully! All players who complete the Progressive Gym Challenge and successfully deliver the objective back to Mickey will automatically receive the MODERN BADGE for their efforts. Please send me any questions on Discord!
