WELCOME TO AFTERNOON TEA

YOU MANEUVER THROUGH THE DARK TO THE NINTH CHALLENGE. The ceiling is high here— and although the room is engulfed by the same darkness as the previous rooms, one can see a starry, ethereal pattern cast above. Upon further inspection, one can find digital projectors on the ground. Trendy star lights oft found advertised underneath viral social media posts.[break][break]

"all eyes are on you, folks! for making it this far!" The obscured figure says. With a laugh, she summons her GOLISOPOD onto the arena. "let me explain your challenge."[break][break]

The mysterious figure explains the challenge. Any attempts to find or identify them through light or physical touch will result in them disappearing into the dark.[break][break]

Around the room, there is no inscription visible.

TIP: if there are characters or pokemon left who have yet to act, but have not participated in the completion of a challenge, feel free to have them knock out the opposing pokemon.

EXPOSITION

WELCOME TO AFTERNOON TEA

YOU MAKE IT TO THE TENTH CHALLENGE. There, an older lady stands tall— but she seems fragile in presence. Tired, perhaps. Wizened by experience unseen. The room is brighter than the others, but still dimly lit. Windows have their curtains closed, but the sunlight from outside sneaks in periodically in small claw-like shafts.[break][break]

"welcome to your final challenge." She does not betray her name, but the elegant manner in which she conducts herself may reveal that her station is a privileged one. "when almost all light is reflected, you see white... in the absence of reflected light, you see black... true white and black is almost impossible to witness, unless one comes across the purest of sunlight or the depths of a black hole. i wonder if pokemon types function in similar fashions?"[break][break]

The lady takes a careful step forward before underhand tossing her pokeball. From the red beam, an UNOWN-A emerges. Her other hand procures a FIGY BERRY. The keenest of eyes may witness it glitch ever so briefly. Once. As if tampered with by the threads of time.[break][break]

"you may require one of these to fulfill your task..." The lady says. "do not worry... the effects of this berry are temporary." She goes on to explain the challenge. "my unown will strike with a hidden power... and it will find your pokemon's weakness."

NOTE: this is the final challenge.
