GYM INFORMATION[break][break]

although furthest from dewford's central town; hail stone is the largest building within the island. it settles just atop a large slope overlooking the ocean with its symbol front and centered. contrast to the exterior of hoenn's often warm temperature, the inside of the gym is like stepping into a freezer. with aurorus often floundering beyond their limits, its normal to see the majority covered by ice. the entrance if not concealed by the element is a cozy little lounge nestled just aside a front desk. close behind is the door leading to the frigid core of the gym.[break][break]

hail stone gym leader alexander silph — believes that the surrounding environment no matter how bitter or brutal. can be used against the opponent with certain CARE and PRECISION. it is suited specifically for his pokemon, even if it is not within their typing. they have adapted to the harsh nature of the world around them and will force others into doing the same. however that is not the only purpose to the gym. besides the rest that are each separated by their own methods of battle, hail stone is one of the more CHALLENGING ones.[break][break]

BATTLE REGULATIONS[break][break]

• SINGULAR » it sounds as though it may be the basic format of pokemon battling. however there is a vast and disheartening difference that may cause those to think twice before challenging hail stone. if the gym leader rolls below ( 40 ) then the challenger will only be able to use ONE pokemon against THREE of his own. because this is the most difficult of the other types the penalty for a repeat does not require you to challenge other gyms. however the singular will always remain, forcing those to come back stronger.
• DUPLICATE » with only FOUR pokemon involved and TWO present at a time within battle. this type of format could also be familiar to the challenger. this battle is only possible if the gym leader rolls above ( 40 ) or below ( 80 ) whether or not the pair work well together and with their trainer is dependent on the outcome. although not as testing as the first this double brawl could be just as dangerous. the penalty for loss is to challenge other gyms and grow stronger. the duplicate typing will still remain.
• BALANCED » truthfully this may be the easiest typing if the challenger can match such strength. if the gym leader rolls above ( 80 ) or below ( 100 ) then both parties will only be able to use FIVE pokemon. a simple one-on-one until either are unable to battle. because this is the most difficult to roll however, means it is a scarce chance that the opponent will ever receive it. the penalty for rematch requires you to challenge other gyms and the format WILL NOT remain. meaning the gym leader will roll once again.

IMPORTANT TIPS[break][break]

• the innermost of the gym is generally an icy mountainous terrain. it will be easy to slip over or fall if you don't find a way to steady yourself accordingly. specifically for your pokemon's sake.
• alexander silph uses ROCK/ELECTRIC type pokemon. whose second categories may be based off of other typings. as such you're more than welcome to plan ahead some powerful counters.
• incidentally exposing yourself or declaring your affiliation with ROCKET means no battle. thankfully the gym leader is generous enough to let some incidents go unreported. depending on who you are of course.
• because battle types are utilized by the roll system means you are capable of getting pretty much anything. for the respect of being well prepared, you must have at least FIVE pokemon within your party.
