VS. FERNANDO SILPH
STRATEGY CHALLENGES
SILPH BADGE
AUTOMATED BATTLES



[player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_qpzxbotBeF1yjyalbo1.mp3[/player]
[break][break]


GYM DETAILS


THE BATTLE FRONTIER is a private institution geared to provide prospective trainers a chance to prepare against any situation. with prior appointment, trainers can schedule battles in a vast array of environments.
[break][break]

[break][break]

battles are scheduled in advance to allow gym staff to make appropriate accommodations. despite the prearranged nature of these challenges, it’s not uncommon for challengers to face an AI trainer.
[break][break]

challengers are asked to provide information on their current roster to assist in creating a suitable challenge as well as add to the league pokemon census. there are no restriction on making changes to your roster after issuing a challenge.
[break]





OBJECTIVE


ATTAIN VICTORY through whatever means. skill, strength, strategy? it matters not. those who are able to defeat the gym leader’s pokemon have proved themselves worthy of the SILPH BADGE.
[break][break]

for those unable to defeat veteran pokemon, the NON-TRADITIONAL CHALLENGES provde some relief. on paper, they are difficult and given a distinct advantage. those who are able to STRATEGIZE around their premise will find victory easier than those who rely on brute force.
[break]





TRADITIONAL


TRADITIONAL BATTLES will follow the standards listed here. the battle format is at the challenges discretion.
[break][break]

on occasion, challengers will face a GYM TRAINER who will have their own subset of pokemon. trainers do not have to win the battle in order to earn a badge.
[break]




NON-TRADITIONAL


NON-TRADITIONAL BATTLES consist of a list of preset challenges. these trials are posted publicly to allow trainers to aptly prepare.
[break][break]

any specific rulesets or requirements will be posted within that challenge. due to additional mechanics, these battles may prove more demanding than the standard traditional battle. trainers are encouraged to prepare beforehand and use counter strategies to help alleviate this difficulty.
[break]




NON-TRADITIONAL CHALLENGE LIST







ONE V ONE




[break][break]

  • smeargle gets to attack first!
  • three rounds of non-offensive attack posts!
  • the effects of status moves last six posts!


[break][break]

[break][break]

  • double battle format!
  • golurk uses aegislash as a HELD ITEM!

PAST BATTLES



[break][break]



HOWLS



[break][break]


[break][break]

ELITE FOUR MEMBER kyle lopez easily bulldozes through the SWORD AND SHIELD challenge with his mightyena. after dealing catastrophic damage with his Z-MOVE, he proceeds to brute force his way to victory in an attempt to cut his conversation with fernando short.


[break][break]




LIQUID STRENGTH



[break][break]


[break][break]

POSING AS KAITO NAKADA, killian decker tackles the WATER SPECIALIST challenge. using a slew of STATUS MOVES from his own water type pokemon, killian is able to navigate around the brute force of fernando’s pokemon. the constant emphasis to look for his opponents weak spots prove essential to his victory.


[break][break]



WAKE-UP CALL



[break][break]



[break][break]

RISING TRAINER, greyson connors, takes on the famous SWORD AND SHIELD challenge. his pokemon soon learn that double battles are more than a mix and match of typings. the synergy between fernando’s pokemon slowly but surely dismantle their formation, showing the young trainer he still has much to improve.


[break][break]



GWYAR'S GYM LOG: SILPH BADGE



[break][break]



[break][break]

SLATEPORT GYM is one of the first on the list for gwyar’s return to the circuit. the experienced trainer makes short work of the SWORD AND SHIELD challenge. the teamwork between his pokemon is remarkable. it shows during their battle as they face and counter every opposition thrown at them.


[break][break]




A TEST OF PROGRESS



[break][break]



[break][break]

AFTER HER FIRST DEFEAT, yui fujin silph, fernando’s sister, returns to showcase her progress. using her ditto to match half of the SWORD AND SHIELD combination, yui is able to close the gap with her ace: eevee. the pokemon’s Z-MOVE starts the battle with a huge advantage that slowly progresses to an assured victory.
