Victory Road Pokémon Ruby/Pokémon Sapphire - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate


THE RACE BEGINS



THE SOUND OF WAR baptizes the island with offerings of fainted pokemon and broken war vessels. constant battle remaps its fluid borders with newborn landmarks. ones that disappear when high tide forces both sides to give up ground.

[break][break]

for the ocean too wishes to claim this island for itself.

[break][break]

despite the intensity, neither faction is able to dominate the battlefield long enough to drive off all opposition. when trainers find themselves exhausted, they retreat under the suppressive cover fire of their allies.

[break][break]

wounds are patched. pokemon are traded. and combatants return to continue the fight their predecessors couldn’t finish.

[break][break]

in time, this constant ebb and flow of trainers draw as long as the days grow old.

[break][break]

the only semblance of peace comes from the vast mountain jutting from the island’s center. here, curious trainers try to find a way to infiltrate a cavern with no entrance. energy readings proves that there’s something inside but no one knows how to access it.

[break][break]

not until 's COPPERAJAH and ’s baxcalibur step onto a buried PRESSURE PANEL.

[break][break]

stone walls grumble as an opening creaks wide. it’s not enough to crawl through but with added WEIGHT, or strong enough pokemon, it just may be possible to pry it wide enough to enter.

[break][break][break][break][break][break]


ROUND 1


PLEASE REVIEW THE MECHANICS SECTION PRIOR TO REPLYING


TO PROCEED, players will have to utilize pokemon whose total POKEDEX WEIGHT reaches 1500 lbs. [break][break]

players who wish to participate this round should make a post that: [break][break]

  • mentions their pokemon stepping on the PRESSURE PANEL or forcibly widening the opening for others.
  • include the pokemon species and it’s pokedex weight in their notes.


[break][break]
players may pay 500 MP to assist with clearing this obstacle. they must still post but will not be considered ‘used up’ by the race. [break][break]

their post will count as 400 lbs or the weight of their pokemon (whichever is more advantageous). [break][break]

battle match ups will be posted in the next MOD POST.


RACE MECHANICS



RULES


THIS MEGATHREAD will test how well your faction can clear moderator requirements in a timely manner. [break][break]

each player and their representative pokemon is a resource for your faction to utilize. each round will introduce an obstacle that certain pokemon can clear. [break][break]

it is up to players to address these obstacles by following the moderator prompt. [break][break]

for this particular round, multiple players will have to respond to the prompt until the collective weight of all player’s pokemon exceed 1500 lbs.
[break]

it should be noted that each participant can only post ONE TIME. once you have cleared an obstacle, you are essential ‘used up’. [break][break]

using this round as an example, those trainers and their pokemon will be left behind, holding the door open so that their allies can venture deeper into the cave.
[break]

the EXCEPTION to this rule is if a participants wants to pay 500 MP. this will allow a player to assist with the obstacle without being ‘used up’. [break][break]

each faction will tackle the same obstacles with different values to reflect the disparity in players. once an obstacle is cleared, a moderator will provide information on which players cleared that particular obstacle. [break][break]

those player may now create a FACTION RACE BATTLE. this is just a battle thread that allows both participants to earn MP.


FAQ


WHICH OBSTACLE SHOULD I CLEAR?



[break][break]

if your pokemon is versatile, you should pick an obstacle your pokemon excels at. for the first round, players with the heaviest pokemon for their faction were tagged as a hint. if no obstacle sticks out, you may want to wait just to ensure your faction does not hit a bottleneck.

[break][break]

however, account for the OOC aspects of this event. if you do not think you will be available later on, or cannot finish a FACTION RACE BATTLE quickly, you may want to clear an obstacle asap.

[break][break]

WHY WOULD I PAY 500 MP TO HELP CLEAR?



[break][break]

to help your faction progress in the event! should one faction fall behind by the end of the event, this will have an effect on the narrative outcome.

[break][break]

another reason you may want to contribute is to post again. some players may enjoy the spotlight or feeling that their character is actively contributing to their faction. however, it should be noted that this does not entitle paying players to rewards or moderated acknowledgement.

[break][break]

WHEN SHOULD I PAY 500 MP?



[break][break]

your faction may run low on resources the longer this event goes on. if they stall due to a bottleneck, that would be the most opportune time to assist. likewise, if your faction is coming close to a deadline, your help may ensure that they clear it on time.

[break][break]

WHY IS THIS EVENT CALLED A RACE?



[break][break]

both faction are attempting to clear obstacles by deadline. should they be unable to, they will face a steeper obstacle or just have to wait longer before the next moderator response. should a large enough gap happen by the end of the event, this will heavily influence the narrative outcome of the event.

[break][break]

WHY IS THERE A DEADLINE INSTEAD OF ASKING US TO MOD REQ WHEN COMPLETED?



[break][break]

the deadline gives both factions X amount of time to clear. should they be unable to clear by deadline, they will be given a static time delay as well. this is to help mitigate the discrepancy in activity between players within a reasonable threshold along with accommodating varied time zones.


DEADLINE


clear the obstacle by SEPTEMBER 19TH, 11:59PM PST to advance without delay. completing the obstacle after this deadline may come with penalties.[break][break]

[attr="class","beckmain"]in the brief silence that contrasts the fighting that has befallen the island, theo assesses the situation. it brings him back to the memories lived in kanto, and from it comes an odd sense of nostalgia and dread that sinks to his stomach.

when approaches the plate, so does theo—a sharp whistle and his decidueye flies abreast.

the terrifying bird known to be able to SPIRIT SHACKLE from miles away and turn a losing situation into a winning one steps upon the pressured plate, its claws digging into steel, with just enough weight to open the doors for the next obstacle.

"go," he commands.

A PATH OPENS



WHEN THE SECRET ENTRANCE OPENS, the entire island quakes. an internalized mechanism churns deep within its depths, out of sight, but a reminder to proceed with caution. like DURANTS, each trainer must scramble underground. the constant throe of battle threatens to pick them off should they dally for too long.

[break][break]

before and can enter, several attack bombard their stationary pokemon. some strikes land true, forcing them off the PRESSURED PLATE. with a resounding slam, the entrance closes shut, isolating them from their allies. there will be time to rejoin them later but for now, they must fight to survive.

[break][break]

an unfamiliar pain flares along ’s arm. for a moment, he believes he can see pink lights tracing along his veins. but when an attack covers him in sand, he’s forced to close his eyes. when they reopen, his arm is back to normal. or had it been that way all along?

[break][break]

ROUND 1 END!

please coordinate between each other if you would like to create a RACE BATTLE THREAD.[break][break]

you may only participate in a SINGLE race battle thread. the thread will function like a normal battle where your characters can earn MP through the same methods applicable to missions. [break][break]

you may also fulfill the following prompt in your race battle thread for 200 MP:[break]

the pokemon must die due to your character PRIORITIZING keeping the door open over the pokemon's safety and livelihood.







DELVE INTO THE DEEP



THE CAVE LEADS THEM DEEPER INTO THE DARK. no matter how they try to illuminate their path, there are always more shadows awaiting. the path deepens with every step. soon, the sounds of battle are left behind, muffled by the echoes of their own company.

[break][break]

their spelunking escalates from a sharp decline to a straight drop. upon reaching a clearing, their way forward shifts to downward. right into hell. ropes, pokemon, and whatever other tools they have on them will have to guide them. for many of hoenn’s explorers have acquainted themselves with the unwinding underground of spontaneous TERA TUNNELS.

[break][break]

well into their descent, the sound of heavy footsteps threaten to sway them off their mounts or harnesses. it looms ever closer, ravenous enough to become an entire stampede. fickle orange lights, no bigger than the pokeballs on their belts, grow increasingly larger as they approach.

[break][break]

a swarm of HEATRAN approach! something has disturbed their slumber—something that predates your presence in these caves. you can only assume that something further down has forced them out, inadvertently sicking them on you.

[break][break]

[break]

with open maws, they help light the path, expelling a spray of FLAMETHROWER at any and all that stand in their way. fend them off while protecting yourself! their need to escape will overshadow their aggression. as long as you survive long enough to see it.



[break][break][break][break][break][break]

There is an anxious bundle that sits in Tempest's chest as soon as he crosses into the cave's mouth. He glances behind him, watches to see the heavy door close as and are besieged. Temp wants his husband, he wants his friends, and all he can seem to hear is his own heavy breathing around him in the dark.[break][break]

It's not logical. There is a crush of bodies with him, a pack to follow.[break][break]

Tempest bites his lip raw and thinks about anything other than the crushing stone overhead. His Kabutops stays at his size, stalwart and ready to spring, much like many of the other Pokemon traveling with the pack of them.[break][break]

They come to a drop. Fire dances in the distance.[break][break]

"Keep moving!" He barks out, to those who need to move on. Water meets the flame from his Kabutops, a Liquidation stopping the searing heat from scorching skin. A thumb is jerked over his own throat in a slashing motion; an order. His Kabutops hisses before stomping the ground, a Stone Edge erupting from the wall to knock one of the creatures away.

Descending into the mountain, Makoto isn't sure what to expect as they walk with the rest of the gathered group. But, it likely wasn't this.

The heat quickly turns up as the Heatran swarm make their appearance - and chaos briefly reigns as the fire-types attack the group. However, much as Temp springs into action, Makoto is not far behind - sending a certain Kingdra into the fray. "Brine!"

Not only is the dual-typing of water and dragon an impassable wall for the Heatrans' Flamethrowers, but the resulting deluge of water that Ryuu fires off with Sniper-like precision helps to force a few of them back, allowing for the group to keep moving.

Kouji had been aware of the Heatrans that could be found in this place ever since he had surveyed with , but this was becoming problematic at this point. They were an exceptionally rare Pokemon, added to that was their power.
[break][break]
”What a pain in the ass.” He said as he spun on his feet, Makoto and Tempest had already begun to face them, he and his Iron Jugulis naturally had to back them up. He looked to his pokemon, figuring out just what to do with him, it wasn’t opportune, and it wasn’t ideal.
[break][break]
So he had to use his mind.
[break][break]
”Air Slash, but aim for our side’s water attacks.” To carry them with even more force; wasn’t there some kind of thing about water being able to split a rock eventually if it was going fast enough? He couldn’t remember, that kind of braniac thing was best left to others. ”Again, keep going.”
[break][break]
They’d hold them up eventually, Kouji was sure of that much, he had confidence in his side.

HOLDING THEM OFF



UNEXPECTED RESISTANCE IMPEDES THE HEATRAN SWARM. many of them continue their march, eager to push onward. the urge to put distance between here and where they’ve come from is migratory. built into their sense of self preservation—an obvious observation to even the most aloof of trainers.

[break][break]

but those that remain, are obstinate. several such pokemon engage with the trainers willing to fight back. an entanglement that allows their allies to move forward at the cost of their own advancement. for these sturdy subterraneans are no pushovers. even the most skilled trainers will have trouble subjugating them on their home turf.

ROUND 2 END!

[break]

please coordinate between each other if you would like to create a RACE BATTLE THREAD.[break][break]

you may only participate in a SINGLE race battle thread. the thread will function like a normal battle where your characters can earn MP through the same methods applicable to missions. [break][break]

for those using MP to clear an obstacle. you may make your RACE BATTLE THREAD now, or save it for another round. however, you may only make ONE.


you may also fulfill the following prompt in your race battle thread for 200 MP:[break]

have your REPRESENTATIVE POKEMON killed due to the HEATRAN. [break][break]

this can be by the HEATRAN or by being preoccupied by it. however, highlight that the HEATRAN had an active part in your pokemon dying.





TREACHEROUS GROUND



THEIR VENTURE INTO THE TUNNEL LEADS THEM TO A VAST CLEARING. the sound of dripping stalactites echo with a deep resonance. such an expansive chamber reveals just how much of hoenn remains to be discovered.

[break][break]

at the very center, the visage of conspicuous ruins tempt you forward. from this distance, the hieroglyphics that adorn its doors are impossible to read. however, nearing it prove more precarious that it seems.

[break][break]

the cave croon once more, a cacophony of gears coming alive after a thousand year slumber. the doors creaks open and a purple hue slips between the crack. whatever the source, its DISTORTION imposes a greater sense of GRAVITY the closer one gets.

[break][break]

and will notice their pokemon GROUNDED, unable to hover more than a few inches off the ground. likewise, should attempt to TELEPORT, he will find his powers useless—a phenomenon that pricks at ’s sense of DEJA VU.

[break][break]

by foot seems to be the only way forward. until the ground suddenly gives away. many snaking paths offer a chance at reaching these ruins but how many will hold up? falling debris disappears into the ether, out of sight, but still heard as it crumbles upon impact.

[break][break]

now you must choose your path wisely. for your next step could prove your last.

ROUND 3


PLEASE REVIEW THE MECHANICS SECTION PRIOR TO REPLYING

RACE MECHANICS



RULES


THIS MEGATHREAD will test how well your faction can clear moderator requirements in a timely manner. [break][break]

each player and their representative pokemon is a resource for your faction to utilize. each round will introduce an obstacle that certain pokemon can clear. [break][break]

it is up to players to address these obstacles by following the moderator prompt. [break][break]

it should be noted that each participant can only post ONE TIME. once you have cleared an obstacle, you are essential ‘used up’. [break][break]


the EXCEPTION to this rule is if a participants wants to pay 500 MP. this will allow a player to assist with the obstacle without being ‘used up’. [break][break]

each faction will tackle the same obstacles with different values to reflect the disparity in players. once an obstacle is cleared, a moderator will provide information on which players cleared that particular obstacle. [break][break]

those player may now create a FACTION RACE BATTLE. this is just a battle thread that allows both participants to earn MP.


FAQ


WHICH OBSTACLE SHOULD I CLEAR?



[break][break]

if your pokemon is versatile, you should pick an obstacle your pokemon excels at. for the first round, players with the heaviest pokemon for their faction were tagged as a hint. if no obstacle sticks out, you may want to wait just to ensure your faction does not hit a bottleneck.

[break][break]

however, account for the OOC aspects of this event. if you do not think you will be available later on, or cannot finish a FACTION RACE BATTLE quickly, you may want to clear an obstacle asap.

[break][break]

WHY WOULD I PAY 500 MP TO HELP CLEAR?



[break][break]

to help your faction progress in the event! should one faction fall behind by the end of the event, this will have an effect on the narrative outcome.

[break][break]

another reason you may want to contribute is to post again. some players may enjoy the spotlight or feeling that their character is actively contributing to their faction. however, it should be noted that this does not entitle paying players to rewards or moderated acknowledgement.

[break][break]

WHEN SHOULD I PAY 500 MP?



[break][break]

your faction may run low on resources the longer this event goes on. if they stall due to a bottleneck, that would be the most opportune time to assist. likewise, if your faction is coming close to a deadline, your help may ensure that they clear it on time.

[break][break]

WHY IS THIS EVENT CALLED A RACE?



[break][break]

both faction are attempting to clear obstacles by deadline. should they be unable to, they will face a steeper obstacle or just have to wait longer before the next moderator response. should a large enough gap happen by the end of the event, this will heavily influence the narrative outcome of the event.

[break][break]

WHY IS THERE A DEADLINE INSTEAD OF ASKING US TO MOD REQ WHEN COMPLETED?



[break][break]

the deadline gives both factions X amount of time to clear. should they be unable to clear by deadline, they will be given a static time delay as well. this is to help mitigate the discrepancy in activity between players within a reasonable threshold along with accommodating varied time zones.


DEADLINE


clear the obstacle by SEPTEMBER 29TH, 11:59PM PST to advance without delay. completing the obstacle after this deadline may come with penalties.[break][break]

the air feels heavier once he enters this new cavern, the weight of harsher gravity blanketing his shoulders. there are several paths to the ruins ahead, but each looks more precarious than the last.
[break][break]
he sends his scolipede down one of them. the heavy poison-type sidles along an unstable ledge, carefully shifting balance whenever parts of the path begin to crumble away into the endless dark below.
[break][break]
if his pokemon manages to reach the door, they might be able to send multiple people along this ledge at once. and if it doesn't reach the door, there are others.

The GRAVITY is suffocating. Cillian gets a taste of what others might experience from Lugia's PRESSURE as the feeling weighs down upon him, each step heavier than the last. He feels a strange sense of deja-vu that he can't shake. His skin crawls with it.[break][break]

He is better suited to the seas, his SYGNA SUIT built for withstanding the cold temperatures of the ocean.[break][break]

His Dhelmise, however, is well-suited to this task. It can ALLY SWITCH with him should he lose his footing, and its ANCHOR SHOT might offer purchase as they attempt to cross the UNSTABLE GROUND. Using its chain as a guide, Rocket's underboss steps forward to follow the example of .[break][break]

His heart leaps into his throat at each sliver of earth that falls away.[break][break]

 Ready. This was going to be interested. Her dartrix couldn't fly anymore which means they were getting close towards the treasure. Or least better towards something at the very least. Many had already served and done their part now it was her turn. She prayed the owl didn't make her look back since her image was very important to her. [break][break]  and  had already found his way across as expect of someone of their ranks. Now it was her turn.

[break][break] "Move!" Mirabella practically kick the owl force it move over the UNSTABLE GROUND. The dartrix didn't faze disregarding it's own safety for the commands of his like a good little servant hopefully he would make it across like the rest.

One obstacle onto another, the caves were a huge problem, Kouji could understand that with a singular look, the amount of struggle and fighting that had occured around them, through them. But this one was something else, his Iron Jugulis was grounded; forced to push itself forward with the backward air current of heat wave, it was the best it could do for a creature that lacked functional limbs for moving.
[break][break]
How pitiful.
[break][break]
”What a pain in the ass.” He muttered as he looked at the many paths. ”We might take a while, but lets take a crack at it.” He said with a grin to his Iron Jugulis.

The only thing to do was to find their way through this.

Zev entered the vast underground chamber with his colleagues and watched the ruin unfold for them as if it had been waiting for their arrival. The tension that filled the air was not mere caution or dread; GRAVITY weighed them down, slowing their strides.[break][break]

Still, Zev forged on, pausing only briefly when the ground crumbled away until only narrow paths remained. Instinctively, he raised the crystal carapace to cover his skin.[break][break]

Not long ago, Groudon's EARTHQUAKE had sundered the ground in a similar way. The reminder that he still hadn't killed soured Zev's mood briefly, before he shoved it aside. Work demanded focus, as did these precarious paths.[break][break]

His Annihilape went ahead, testing the solidness of the ground before beckoning his master along.[break][break]

Victory Road Pokémon Ruby/Pokémon Sapphire - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate


FATE OF THE FALLEN



THE BRAVE MARCH FORWARD BUT NOT ALL ARE REWARDED. reality is often grounded by disappointment, much like the path forward.

[break][break]

the ground gives out beneath several individuals, plummeting them to the abyss below. attempts to save them, or pull them back out, end up in vain. for those who spend too much time in one spot will find themselves in the same situation. even will be caught by surprise should he have his pokemon ALLY SWITCH. whatever affliction lies ahead has rendered teleportation useless.

[break][break]

self preservation is the only step forward.

[break][break]

those who fall will find the ravine more treacherous than just a fall. jutting cliff sides and rocky outcrops pluck meat from bones. a shredder that uses gravity to pull apart its prey. only when they hit rock bottom will they find unexpected stability. no matter what wounds they’ve sustained, the pain is numbed by an unnatural frigidness.











[break][break]

ROUND 3 END!

[break][break]
+ +
[break][break]
VS [break][break]
+ + [break]
+ +
[break]

please coordinate between each other if you would like to create a RACE BATTLE THREAD.[break][break]

you may only participate in a SINGLE race battle thread. the thread will function like a normal battle where your characters can earn MP through the same methods applicable to missions. [break][break]

for those using MP to clear an obstacle. you may make your RACE BATTLE THREAD now, or save it for another round. however, you may only make ONE.[break][break][break]

if you used MP and still have your pokemon available. it will need to stay alive if you would like it in later rounds.
[break]
if you are unable to find a partner for a RACE BATTLE THREAD due to a lack of available ROCKET CHARACTERS, reach out to for a possible alternative.


you may also fulfill the following prompt in your race battle thread for 200 MP:[break]

have your REPRESENTATIVE POKEMON die in some manner due to the fall.





SABOTAGE THE ENEMY



THOSE WHO MAKE IT ACROSS WILL SOON FIND THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE. members of the other faction can be heard piling in. they can be heard from the other end of the cave, with everyone seeming to congregate at the center.

[break][break]

beyond the broken path is a center chamber sealed by large, steel doors. upon closer inspection, they’ve been frozen shut, preserved through wear and tear by a thin film of ice. attempts to chip or melt away the ice proves effective but it will take time.

[break][break]

time that you do not have.

[break][break]

for you do not expect the opposition to leave you in peace. with only so many people able to try to pry the doors open, others are given the task to confront your opponents. stop them here or at least slow them down.

[break][break]

we cannot afford to let them overtake us.









[break][break][break][break][break][break]


ROUND 4


PLEASE REVIEW THE MECHANICS SECTION PRIOR TO REPLYING


TO PROCEED, your faction will have to send at least THREE PLAYERS to sabotage the enemy. each PLAYER will select a move from their REPRESENTATIVE POKEMON. the enemy will have to total or surpass your faction's collective BASE POWER during their NEXT ROUND. [break][break]

players who wish to participate this round should make a post that: [break][break]

  • mention their character confronting the other faction and attacking.
  • mention and bold a move your representative pokemon knows. include the base power.


[break][break]
due to the freeform nature of this round, players may not pay 500 MP to assist with clearing this obstacle.[break][break]

battle match ups will be posted in the next MOD POST.

FAQ


WHICH OBSTACLE SHOULD I CLEAR?



[break][break]

if your pokemon is versatile, you should pick an obstacle your pokemon excels at. for the first round, players with the heaviest pokemon for their faction were tagged as a hint. if no obstacle sticks out, you may want to wait just to ensure your faction does not hit a bottleneck.

[break][break]

however, account for the OOC aspects of this event. if you do not think you will be available later on, or cannot finish a FACTION RACE BATTLE quickly, you may want to clear an obstacle asap.

[break][break]

WHY WOULD I PAY 500 MP TO HELP CLEAR?



[break][break]

to help your faction progress in the event! should one faction fall behind by the end of the event, this will have an effect on the narrative outcome.

[break][break]

another reason you may want to contribute is to post again. some players may enjoy the spotlight or feeling that their character is actively contributing to their faction. however, it should be noted that this does not entitle paying players to rewards or moderated acknowledgement.

[break][break]

WHEN SHOULD I PAY 500 MP?



[break][break]

your faction may run low on resources the longer this event goes on. if they stall due to a bottleneck, that would be the most opportune time to assist. likewise, if your faction is coming close to a deadline, your help may ensure that they clear it on time.

[break][break]

WHY IS THIS EVENT CALLED A RACE?

Shouts and yells from another section of the cavern reached Zev's ears as he approached the ruins. At once, he understood that Team Rocket was not alone underground; the League had arrived as well.[break][break]

And judging by the way the noise was only getting louder, they were not far from the center of the clearing.[break][break]

"I need two of you to come with me," Zev barked out at the nearest Rockets, the modulator in his full-face mask transforming his voice into a guttural snarl. "The rest of you, focus on those doors!"[break][break]

His Annihilape surged ahead to engage the first of their opponents in CLOSE COMBAT (120 BP).
