Black fur and purple-tinged skin go flying as Mercury’s hind claws dig furrows in the Grimmsnarl’s abdomen. The smell of baking clay and burning flesh and hair fill the air. It’s noxious, and Kepler claps hands over his mouth, to keep from gagging, or screaming, or both.
[break][break]
Mercury is slow to rise, even with the Grimmsnarl lifted off of his form. One of his legs drags uselessly. He can tell this is coming to a head, so with one last heave of effort, he bounces forward, hopping on one leg to spin and strike the Grimmsnarl with his body, before releasing one final double edge at close range…

Fenelle remains seemingly unfazed as the battle comes near its conclusion - a thrilling finale indeed, as the Rocket notes. There's only some more things to do ... hold on. It's a surprise and also not to see the Cinderace also going for what would turn out to be a dramatically similiar edge ...

Almost driven out of his mind by pain, all Grimmsnarl focuses on is one thing - the draining life force of his opponent, keeping oh so close despite its proven danger. He remains painfully stoic during Bounce, unmoving as they're both hit by another Double Edge ... And then, pink energy once more. It's almost beautiful, if you ignore the faint scarlet tinge that seeps through everything, matching the blood-stained earth, and water.

But why does it seem like his Spirit's Breaking, as in this proximity, it's hard to tell who exactly is hit. Fact is, the Cinderace seems to be held up higher, as the Grimmsnarl collapses, still entangled with the rabbit.

For a moment, stillness that paints Surrender.

Fenelle averts der gaze, seemingly disappointed.

A heartbeat, one last motion.

Spikes of hair shoot upright, pierce whatever they can find - for there's a dubious smile hidden in giving up if there's breath to exhale and for his is a False Surrender. A last cautionary tale and mayhaps truly the last, as this trick won't really work forever.

Fenelle returns der gaze, and stomps once in acknowledgement - regardless if he'd persevere or not.

2QDIhWGi+669 = 670
tl;dr
- clings for dear life through bounce and double edge
- SPIRIT BREAK energy sparkles up, but who's to tell who is hit by it this close?
- uh nuh wait did he break his own spirit
- BOOM FALSE SURRENDER
- give a clap for the theatre kids ty

Murderers are not monsters, they're men. And that's the most frightening thing about them.

THE FINAL CLASH




AS SOON AS THE FINAL ROUND BEGINS, releases his CINDERACE and MEGA EVOLVES it. Immediately, it uses AGILITY to raise its speed, then BOUNCES high into the air. This strategy gives time to summon her GRIMMSNARL, who endures the impact of the bunny's crash to FAKE IT OUT. [break][break]

In retaliation, MEGA CINDERACE launches a PYRO BALL, just as GRIMMSNARL reaches out with its hairs to LEECH LIFE from the rodent. The hairs pull MEGA CINDERACE close for a BITE, but a CLOSE COMBAT keeps GRIMMSNARL at bay. [break][break]

AGILITY frees up MEGA CINDERACE so it can launch another PYRO BALL at its foe. Frustrated, GRIMMSNARL closes the distance between them with STOMPING TANTRUM followed by SPIRIT BREAK. Thinking quickly, MEGA CINDERACE lashes out with DOUBLE EDGE and FOCUS BLAST, evading another nasty BITE. [break][break]

As GRIMMSNARL'S tendril-like hairs reach for another LEECH LIFE, MEGA CINDERACE BOUNCES high above the battlefield once more. It lands with devastation, a final DOUBLE EDGE blowing right through GRIMMSNARL'S SPIRIT BREAK and subsequent FALSE SURRENDER. A decisive blow, it is more than enough to clinch victory for .


END OF THE ROUND


For the last time, an alarm blares and the lights of the arena turn red, while the screen beneath the observation deck reads, "STOP." 's voice resonates from the loudspeaker with a tone of finality. [break][break]

"The Gauntlet is over, and is its winner. Well fought, Executive, and congratulations. You have earned a fully constructed and functioning Genesect of your own, which you can collect in the front lobby."[break][break]

"All participants, including Brueshaber, will receive smaller rewards for their efforts. You can pick these up on your way outside the building."
[break]

All the lights return to their normal, yellow-white color, but no bell chimes. Instead, both doors of the arena open, the one leading up to the observation deck and the other leading out the front entrance. Metal bridges extend so that all contestants and members of Rocket leadership can leave.[break][break]

REMINDER: THIS EVENT ICLY TAKES PLACE IN MAY, AFTER PRISMATIC PENITENTIARY.


GUIDELINES



GENERAL RULES




PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY! [break][break]
[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • The PVP portion of this event is limited to ROCKET participants who are not canons and/or Avatars.
  • The separate, non-PVP megathread will be limited to CURRENT ROCKET CANONS and ELIMINATED PARTICIPANTS only.
  • One character per player may participate.
  • A character must have at least 50 POSTS to participate.
  • A character age limit of 18+ is in place for this event's participation.

  • Salac berries MAY NOT be used.
  • PLEASE INCLUDE A TL;DR at the bottom of your posts.


PVP RULES



The outcome of each round will be decided by rolls, but participants are recommended to keep the following guidelines in mind during the event. [break][break]
[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • Avoid godmodding, meaning taking control of another player's character or Pokémon during roleplay. This is sometimes called powerplaying.
  • Your characters may attempt to physically attack each other; however, remember, Pokémon are always more effective than human-made weapons.
  • Mod deliberations are final.


MECHANICS & REWARDS



HOW TO PLAY




As stated, there will be five total rounds: Rounds 0-4. [break][break]

Round 0 is a preparation round that will allow participants to affect their rolls for ROUND 1 ONLY. Rounds 1-4 are PVP rounds for determining the winner of The Gauntlet. [break][break]

All participants must roll at the end of their posts for Rounds 1-4. For Rounds 2-4, each participant adds their rolls together for a total sum. Half of the participants in each round, the ones with the lowest totals, lose the round and cannot move on. Characters who miss the round are automatically eliminated. [break][break]

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
[break]

Each round will limit the maximum number of posts each participant can write, based on the number of participants in each round. [break][break]

  • Round 1: 16 participants (1 post per participant)
  • Round 2: 8 participants (2 posts per participant)
  • Round 3: 4 participants (4 posts per participant)
  • Round 4: 2 participants (5 posts per participant)
[break]

The more you post in a round (up to the limit), the higher your chance of moving on to the next round. As a result, this is considered a fast-paced event. PLEASE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION IF YOU CAN POST AT THIS PACE BEFORE SIGNING UP. [break][break]

The winner will be determined from the Round 4 match-up.
