MESSAGE FROM SHIV: I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone! Every day I login, I'm filled with gratitude for this community of writers who have gathered here to tell their stories here. I appreciate every single one of you, and I hope you all continue having fun.[break][break]

After PRISMATIC PENITENTIARY concludes by the end of this month, Team Rocket and the League will be clashing over the region violently. Be prepared to account for this change in the setting; however, those of you who prefer more slice-of-life threads are certainly allowed to roleplay as you wish. These threads can co-exist with each other- but there may be setting-altering events that dramatically propel the site plot with higher stakes. Stay tuned!

MEMBER EVENTS

BELOW ARE SEVERAL EVENTS CRAFTED AND MODERATED BY MEMBERS. Some have begun in the previous month and are continuing into March. Although staff collaborate with members to run these events, they are mostly conducted entirely by their player-creators.

SILPH CUP 2024 IN PACIFIDLOG (RAIKOURIDER) — One of Hoenn's most popular sports, Pokémon Racing, attracts hopeful competitors from around the globe. Testing the mettle of trainers with a need for speed year after year, the opening race for the 2024 season takes place in the current-ravaged waves between PACIFIDLOG TOWN and MAUVILLE CITY.[break][break]

EVENT LINK: ONGOING

SLEEP STUDY: GEMINI (GHOSTFINCH) — This member-led event "is a secret study that takes two people with past experiences and puts them into a shared dream space with a blend of Musharna sleep mist and interdream mist. The goal of the study is to see how two dreamers in a collaborate dream space will react to the same memory, with each dreamer's perspective painting the memory as they recall it."[break][break]

EVENT LINK: COMING SOON

DUPLICITOUS MASQUERADE (NEWT) — Rejoice, Hoenn! For it has been announced that soon, within the next month, the ever-affluent Yukimura family will be hosting a party here in your very own region!

A Scavenger Hunt will be used to limit the participants of Newt's murder mystery.[break][break]

S.P.E.C.T.R.A. THE GAUNTLET (GUNSMILE) — WAR LOOMS ON THE HORIZON. The directive to prepare for the next leg of Team Rocket's expansion has come from the crime syndicate's upper brass. To that end, Admin jayden cross and Beast Zev Harcourt have coordinated with S.P.E.C.T.R.A. to organize a Battle Royale-style elimination gauntlet.[break][break]

This event intends to test the mettle and skills of Team Rocket's grunts. Part trial by fire, part training course, The Gauntlet is meant to bring out the best in each competitor.[break][break]
