He who aims to Pierce the Skies! [GYM Challenge]

Another challenger, who also happens to be an Elite Four member, came the day after Kyle. Mateo Martinez, the ~~Self-Proclaimed~~ Dragon King. Balder had faced him a while ago, in a fun battle near a ranch, but had barely interacted with the man ever since. So getting his challenge now, as soon as his gym was opened? It was an interesting twist of fate to say the least.[break][break]

Compared to Kyle's challenge, Mateo's challenge would have some... differences. No crowds would be watching them, and there were no swarms of bird pokemons equipped with cameras or anything, except a Pidgeot that was roosted Nearby, with a single camera to carefully record the fight. Instead, a single brunette awaited the challenger at the gates. As she saw the man approach, the lady began to clumsily run to him, before giving Mateo an earpiece and a tablet, before heading back to the Spire.[break][break]

If the challenger were to put the earpiece on, he would hear the words "Connection Established". Not long after receiving the tablet, the screen would light up, showing Balder, topless and without all the fancy makeup he had the day before. A smile on his face, he began to talk. "Hey there, champ in the making. I'm actually surprised to see you here, but I'm glad you came. First, congrats on that Elite Four position man, I know you got the strength to pull through."[break][break]

"Now, just before you start asking question, while I can see you, the earpiece you have doesn't carry over your voice. That's only to be fair, so that I don't listen to the orders you give to your pokemon and try to affect the way your challenge will happen. But I'll be watching your challenge, and record it too of course. Now, enough chit chat from me. I'm sure you're eager to see what I got prepared for you. Step right up, your opponent is heading your way as we speak."[break][break]

The screen of the tablet went blank, meaning the end of the message. From a quick glance over the field, Mateo could notice that the ground, which was filled with holes yesterday, had been patched up and looked like any normal field. It almost seemed too tranquil to be the zone of the first challenge. That was, until the ground started to rumble, signaling something approaching. What could be approaching the challenger?[break][break]

OOC:This is simply the introduction step. The challenge will be revealed on the next post. Final Battle format will be an Horde Battle (5 pokemon vs 1). Challenger will be allowed to use 3 pokemon of his team for that fight and can switch at any time.[break][break]

He who fights the spirits [GYM Challenge]

Today was the day of the first gym challenge for the totem gym. Because of this, the people from the Crown, led by Olivia, and the citizens of the city were requested to stay far away from the Silver Spire. Why should they stay far away? Because the first challenger opted for the hardest challenge that Balder had designed: challenging the Shaman King. And for this challenge to correctly happen, they needed to make sure nobody would stumble on the fields as the ruthless battles and challenges were happening.[break][break]

An area for the crowd had been planned, and some pidgeottos and noctowls with cameras were flying over the castle to record the challenge and display it on special screens. Some cameras were also placed inside the Spire so that everyone can see what kind of fight awaited them if they ever took the decision to try their hand at the badge circuit. But right now, the attention of the crowd was sticking to one of their screens, as a man appeared upon it, sitting on a throne.[break][break]

A cape, made mostly of white cotton and black designs at the bottom, seemed to be the only thing to cover the man's body. Around his head was a multi-colored headband, harboring the sigils of the 4 tapus of Alola and some specific inscriptions. On his face, red markings to complete the look he was going for. The man cleared his throat, signaling he was going to speak.[break][break]

"Welcome, everyone, to the first battle to conquer the Totem tower and acquire the Totem Badge! What a better way to inaugurate this new gym then to have the hardest challenge be undertaken by one of the elite four? Today's challenger is Kyle Lopez, said to have conquered the many gyms held in this region! I wonder, will he be able to reach me and take my throne?"[break][break]

The display on the screens flickered, going from the "throne room" to show the front of the Silver Spire: a grass less land, covered with dirt and some rock plates that led to the castle's entrance. Some holes in the soil could be found here and there, as if someone had been digging haphazardly. Could this be the hidden mechanic of the first stage?[break]

OOC:This is simply the introduction step. The challenge will be revealed on the next post. To note, the final battle will be a dual battle (2v2, 4 pokemon each).[break][break]

Hearing the soft chirp of his new friend, Blaze looked up, small tears glistening on his cheeks. With the help of Rowlet, the Charmander got up on it's feet, still looking somewhat disappointed and depressed with himself. What could he do to make his master happy? To be with him even more? Blaze only wanted to not be left behind again, to be abandoned again...[break][break]

The bird companion tried to cheer him up, making blaze smile softly. What a kind fellow. "Char." The creature nodded, agreeing that how he is right now is perfect and that he shouldn't worry about it for now. And then, the owl pointed a bush, where some other pokemons seemed to be eating from. There did seem to have a lot of variety upon the tree too! Maybe the couple at the entrance had placed it for this purpose?[break][break]

Blaze's stomach growled, making the creature blush a bit as he covered his stomach with his chubby arms. "Char... Mander!" Happily, the lizard followed his new friend to the bush. Thus, he proceeded to grab a berry from it and offer it to the Rowlet. "Char Char?" He was offering the berry he found the freshest to his new friend, hoping he would like it.

TOTEM TOWER

[attr="class","aname2"]

sootopolis gym

[attr="class","ipad"]
GYM INFORMATION[break][break]

[break][break]

as the silver spire was being restored to its previous glory, some changes had to be made, since the complete appearance of the castle had been lost with the passing of time. thus, as Balder Schwartz took the seat of gym leader, he directed the modifications so that the central spire reflected more the needs of his gym.

[break][break]

called the totem tower, it replaces the central tower of the castle. almost as high as the sky pillar, it houses many facilities. at the top stands a gigantic battle arena with some exquisite functionalities that allow reproducing certain environments. in each and every room of the tower, certain items have been placed, said to boost the power and potential of certain creatures.

[break][break]

[attr="class","ipad"]
LAWS OF THE TOWER[break][break]

LAW OF PROTECTION. anyone who seeks to enter these doors shall be cared for and ensured their safety for the duration of their stay, no matter who they may be. However, if it is revealed that the person under protection is guilty of a crime of sort... While no physical harm will be made, the suspect will be interrogated to know the story and may possibly be handed to the authorities. This is valid for both Humans and Pokemons. If the Pokemon fled from their owners to seek refuge in the tower, they will be cared for until the trainer proves he is suitable.
LAW OF GRAVITY. Extremely large pokemons (Wailords and such) will be restricted to battles outside the castle and at the top of the tower, where suitable installations have been installed for such scenarios.
LAW OF POWER. Items of power have been placed in the many rooms and surroundings of the castle. These items have been attuned to specific pokemons and others will not benefit from their boon. More information to be seen below
LAW OF HONESTY. While it is dubious that any would attempt to, we ask for everyone's honesty as they partake in the challenges. Stay true to your team and follow the rules accordingly. Failure to do so will result in expulsion and banishment from the tower for a set duration of time.
LAW OF POSSESSION. In this gym, it is possible to encounter wild pokemons. Capturing them is authorized, but please refrain from capturing those outside of your challenge rooms. You can capture only one per room.
LAW OF CREATIVITY. Once you begin your challenge, we ask of you to be creative in your attempts. While we are indeed reviewing your batle capacities, one must also be able to show creativity and knowledge in the face of adversity. Thus, no assistance will be provided during the challenges. [OOC: In short, this means that all totem challenges against totem pokemon and wild pokemons are to be one-shot posts where you clear the challenge (Either by defeating the pokemon(s) or creatively escape the battle and push on), similar to a wild thread post. Only the final fight will be in PvP format. That is, unless the player requests otherwise.]
LAW OF ORIGIN. All challenges will be initiated by the Gym leader, in order to confirm the conditions and ensure that the challenger knows what awaits him/her/them on their quest to victory. Unless discussed with the Gym leader previously, no Challengers can simply enter the gym and hope to face Balder directly (If a challenger starts the thread, Balder Schwartz must have liked the post to consent).

[break][break]

[break][break]

[attr="class","ipad"]FACING THE KAHUNA[break][break]

Known as the standard gym challenge in Hoenn As stated by the rules of the region, one may apply for this format to have a simple and straightforward battle. The battles will be 3 pokemon each in a one vs one format, switching allowed and no special effect upon the beginning of the duel. Small posts will be allowed for this format.

[break][break]

[break][break]

[attr="class","ipad"]CHALLENGING THE TOTEMS: BEGINNER[break][break]

One of the non-traditional variant, based upon the island challenges of Alola. This option is reserved for trainers that have begun travelling this region and wish for guidance and experience a gym battle [Under 15 infamy and/or less then 35 posts]. The challenge will proceed as follow:[break][break]

Totem War: The challenger shall face a pokemon that represents one of the totem animal. Said pokemon will have its powers boosted, making it more challenging. Said pokemon will, some times, summon a wild pokemon to its aid. You will be able to capture it. Certain requirements may be placed at the moment of the fight to help in defeating the creature. [This part of the fight will generally require a single post where the player follows some guidelines to defeat the totem pokemon. Similar to event posts]
Facing the Kahuna: At the top of the tower, you will face the Kahuna of the Totem Tower: Balder Schwartz . During this fight, he will strive to guide you in how to act as an appropriate trainer and handle certain situations. Expect some changes in the environment to cause some challenge. The trainer will be able to decide if he wants to fight in a special manner as well (2 pokemons against 2, 3v3, etc).

[break][break]

[attr="class","ipad"]CHALLENGING THE TOTEMS: SHAMAN KING[break][break]

This is the true non-traditional challenge. Reserved for those that want a gruesome challenge. By choosing this option, you are prepared to test your limits and see if you have what it takes to challenge the league. The fight to be the Shaman King goes as follows:[break][break]

Breach the gates: Before hoping to stand inside the castle, one must defeat the Guardian Totem that protects the entrance. The guardian will be empowered by one of the power items, seeing his abilities boosted. Said Guardian might summon a wild pokemon to assist him. The wild pokemon will be capturable. Certain requirements may be placed at the moment of the fight to make the situation slightly harder. [Expect slightly more challenging request then those seen in events]
Find the correct path: Once you have entered the castle, you will be invited (By one of the cute alolan ladies) to choose one door out of four. Crossing the door will lead you to another battle with a guardian, following similar restrictions to the previous fight. A wild pokemon may appear during this fight. The wild pokemon will be capturable.
Climbing the tower: Depending on the door you selected, you might have to climb the tower from the inside or the outside. There, you will face another guardian, powered by one of those power items, and will follow similar restrictions to previous fights. A wild pokemon WILL appear. The wild pokemon will be capturable.
Gaining Entrance to the King's Realm: Before you can face the Shaman King, one last guardian remains. Just like previous fights, he will be empowered and certain requirements will be in place. No Wild Pokemon will appear there.
Facing the king: The final trial. Face to face with Balder, you will battle in a setting that is unfavorable to your pokemons. It can be weather effects or hazard. The battle type will be decided prior to this challenge.[break]

"Nuts, Hammer Arm." Balder had just returned from a small trip, and he heard the sounds of the coins flying around as soon as he had gotten in the vicinity. It wasn't hard to know what it was: a meowth. And a variant from his homeland too, which made it somewhat more uncommon.And actually increased the creature's value.[break][break]

Hearing his master's command, Nuts stepped forward, towards the cat that kept throwing the coins. Seeing the big juggernaut advancing towards him, the Meowth started to panic, throwing more coins at him to stop him in his tracks... Yet, it was not enough. The Hammer of Doom struck down, knocking the creature out long enough for Balder to throw a pokeball and catch it.[break][break]

And thus, after capturing the cat, the man and his pokemon began collecting the coins that had been thrown around. There was at least one good point about all of this: He now had a bit more funds for the gym he was to take over in Sootopolis. And maybe the cat could also help defend the place with some of the newly added creature?

NOIVERN SWARM (AQUA-FES 2019)

As if to confirm what he was thinking during the previous swarm, It was now a bunch of Noiverns that struck. This time, they were overwhelming the lighthouse at Slateport, blocking any possible light from the tower. That would mean that there was no guide post for the boats and could lead to a massive number of casualties if things were to stay this way.[break][break]

Balder arrived on the site, watching the bat creatures' movements. They seemed to be staying idle at the tower, waiting for things to happen. And beside him, someone was listening to the radio, where one of the lyrics said something like "I'm on that supersonic boom"... Balder chuckled a bit. That lyric kinda fitted the situation, seeing that a Noivern can produce intense sounds easily.[break][break]

"Time for some clean up duty. Come out, Geo." Balder tosses his pokeball in the air, summoning the Alolan Golem to his side. As soon as the rock creature appeared, he started taking aim for the Noiverns at the tower and charged the rock on its back. "Don't hit the tower. I don't want to pay for the repairs." Geo grunted before sending a few rocks close to the tower, to scare the creatures. As some of them started to flee, Balder threw a pokeball, hoping to catch one of them.[break]

Recently, there seemed to be a streak of tentacle monstrosities running amok in the region. Reports of giant tentacruels, the school of tentacools during the surf event, and now this: A swam of mustached gentleman and their inflated life companions. What was it that kept bringing these massive movements of pokemons to the region? Was it a sign that something wrong was happening around the word?[break][break]

Asking all those questions while diving to the battlefield on Falco's back, Balder started analyzing everything. Time to enter battle mode. "Falco, Crush them with their Claws. Don't mind me, I'll be fine." The bird emitted his strident sound as an answer before striking the creatures with the move Crush Claw. Doing so, Balder attempted capturing one of them, to be able to do some researches with Olivia later.[break]

[attr="class","spiral"] After finishing cleaning up, Balder returns, albeit without his shirt. His muscles shining under the sun, the young man took the soda bottle that Sam had perfectly shaked the soda bottle. Balder proceeded to shake it as well and pass it to the next.
