DREAM WORLD

POKEMON WORLD 2

The counter drops to zero, and those that didn't fulfill the requirements had their visitor's pass REVOKED. A page is turned during the next night, continuing the plot of the story about the RUINED KINGDOM.
[break][break]
The next night, the participants of the game find themselves assembled in the same manner as their first visit. With them are their Pokemon, safely tucked inside the DREAM BALL within their respective inventories.
[break][break]
"Looks like everything's lively tonight," the Snubbull King nonchalantly comments. Compared to the last time, everyone's avatar is now resembling a Pokemon they partnered up with, filling the hall with color. "Uh, let me see what's next on the script."
[break][break]
The Pokemon takes a piece of parchment out, takes one glance, and then returns it to its pockets.
[break][break]
"Please don't make me repeat myself, so listen up: Scouts have found the source of these dangerous creatures. Yay, right? Go forth and bring an end to these dungeons and bring peace to our kingdom's lands."
[break][break]
The COUNTDOWN on the timer starts again. Another task to fulfill is given out, but it is offset by a SET OF ITEMS rewarded to you by the system for completing the last quest.
[break][break]
"I'm talking about dungeons, by the way. Fun."

POKEMON TAMERS

Should anyone check their inventories, a new item will register itself and be bound to their character, both in a literal and metaphorical sense.
[break][break]

BATTLE CARD (3 ea.)[break]
a card with a mysterious power. destroy it to activate its ability to poke-modify (name pending) your navi, and only your navi! resets after every battle encounter.
[break][break]
we totally did not steal this tech from the hexenzirkel. we promise this appears on other media too!

[break][break]
Each of them already has a PREDETERMINED VALUES attached upon receiving. Some of them do not make sense for those in denial of themselves, while others were as coherent as it can get.
[break][break]
The TITLES attached to each participant makes itself the THEME for these cards. At the very least, they manifest themselves in ideas already familiar to them, so nothing outlandish surprises them unlike the last quest.
[break][break]
If one were to compare theirs with others, they would soon find that the nature of their cards DIFFER WITH THE CHOICE they made last round. The Snubbull King notices this, and stands up from his seat to explain.
[break][break]
"Isn't it nicer this way? It's a little bit minor, I know, but it does feel good when your choices affect something in the game, right?"
[break][break]
For those that kept their SHADOW POKEMON, the cards they receive are item cards, while those that chose PURIFICATION instead receive move cards.

INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS

For this event, participants are required to make a post on their previous DREAM WORLD thread from the PREVIOUS EVENT. Although the event is casual, guidelines must be followed to be allowed to the next round.
[break][break]
These guidelines are often narrative prompts that writers must hit in their post. Although there will be NO WORD COUNT, please avoid entries that can be considered as lazy.
[break][break]
Objectives for each character are as follows:
[break][break]

• Come to a realization that your avatar is useless and your Pokemon is your only lifeline
• Form a party before entering a dungeon
• Find a "dungeon" that resembles the setting of your dream from the previous part of the event.
• Enter Scenario 2 at the last floor of the dungeon

SCENARIO 2

You realize that the party you've been clearing the dungeon were illusions, or rather, part of the dream all along. They will still help you, but their autonomy is clearly REPLACED BY AN AI that simulated their behavior based on their title. It isn't perfect, but it's good enough.
[break][break]
Parties can be as low as 2 to 4. You can npc them to your liking, and any inconsistencies with their portrayal will be attributed to an imperfect AI replication, so feel free to go nuts.
[break][break]

[break][break]
For the final boss fight, characters should use their cards effectively against the opponent.
[break][break]
If you chose to keep your SHADOW POKEMON, you get 3 ITEMS FROM THE GAMES that relate to your title. This can be any item as long as they are not related to Legendaries/plot/site mechanics or TMs. An example would be:
[break][break]

the cute dog e - MATIAS SILPH[break]
choice scarf / fluffy tail / thick club

[break][break]
If you chose to PURIFY your Pokemon, you instead get 3 MOVES related to your title. The only restriction for this would be exclusive moves from Legendary Pokemon and the special LGPE moves. An example would be:

the cute dog e - MATIAS SILPH[break]
nuzzle / snarl / bite

[break][break]
Using these tools, defeat the final boss of the dungeon that resembles as a Dynamax version of your character's favorite Pokemon. It can be their starter, or their most used Pokemon, or the Pokemon they brought here. For avatars, it can even be their patron Legendary.
[break][break]
Write an epic boss fight, or a convenient scene that skips it, whatever's better for the flow of the story, and the victory earns them a small token that relates to their dreams from the previous round. This will count as a flag for the system that clears your character for this round.

MULTIPLAYER

Should you want to explore this round with another character, create a new thread under the DREAM WORLD sub-board.
[break][break]
The main mechanics of the round should still be the same, but you can flavor the journey to the last floor differently. Perhaps it alternates between the dreams of each party member, or a combination of each of theirs.
[break][break]
The only time your characters will diverge will be on the final floor, where they will face different bosses separate from each other. They will still have their party members at that point, but they will just be clones that will be npc'd.
[break][break]
As soon as the fight is done, feel free to converge again.

RULES & GUIDELINES

GENERAL RULES

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES. A more comprehensive list of rules will be published in each round. These rules are also subject to change.
[break][break]

• For the most part, this will continue to be a solo event. Please continue to use the thread from DREAM DROP DISTANCE for these prompts and ask shiv to unlock it should you need to.
• The main mega thread will feature prompts that you must fulfill. To fulfill these prompts, post in your character's Dream Drop Distance thread.
• Each round will usually last from 5 to 7 days.
• Missing a round unfortunately kicks you out of future rounds. You will still be able to finish the last round you were tagged on, however, and receive rewards based on your progress.
• If you want to tackle this round with another player, you may start another thread. However, please be aware of the deadline.
