THE GAUNTLET  [attr="class","omgenmid"] MEMBER EVENT - ROCKET PVP BATTLE ROYALE MEGATHREAD PARTICIPANTS ONLY [player]https://file.garden/ZWyHNtDjIhZcqtBS/HOENN-Music/James-Newton-Howard-Introducing-The-Tributes.mp3[/player] 🎼 "Introducing the Tributes" - James Newton Howard | The Hunger Games: Catching Fire OST [break] ENTER THE ARENA
A NEW, ENCLOSED ARENA HAS BEEN BUILT IN SOOTOPOLIS TO HOST THE GAUNTLET. When you enter, you find yourself on a large, circular platform. It is covered in various rough terrain: uneven footpaths, dense clusters of trees, rocky outcroppings, thick underbrush, and even a small pond in the center. An observation deck overlooks the arena from high above. [break][break]
As a group of you gathers on one side of the platform, the voice of Admin jayden cross crackles over a loudspeaker.[break][break]
[break]
A large screen beneath the observation deck displays his words in text large enough to read from any distance in the arena.[break][break]
He launches into a concise explanation of the event. You will battle each other over several rounds, using a different Pokémon per round, until only one of you remains. The goal is clear: win at all costs. [break][break]
A different voice speaks next—that of Beast Zev Harcourt. [break][break]
[break]
A bell chimes. The screen says, "BEGIN." Your ten minutes start now.[break][break]
REMINDER: THIS EVENT ICLY TAKES PLACE IN MAY, AFTER PRISMATIC PENITENTIARY.
