THE FINAL BATTLE HAS BEEN POSTED! feat. hop / @no-more-royalty, aesen / @welcome-to-our-domain, annalise / @dracaelum-faerie and last but not least, lear / @isleprized!

LEAR

pokémon: krookodile. type: ground. weakness: grass. moves: earthquake; power trip. support move: x attack all. trainer move: the throne is mine!--sharply raises attack and speed; sharply lowers defense. passive skills: moxie--raises attack when pokémon knocks out an opponent.

SAWYER

pokémon: coalossal. type: fire. weakness: fighting. moves: stone edge, fire punch. support move: tar shot. trainer move: analysis complete!--raises defense and special defense; makes the user resistant to the last move it was hit by. moves after gmax: stone edge --> gmax volcalith, fire punch --> max flare, tar shot --> max guard. passive skills: regenerator--heals 5% of its HP per turn. doubling down--supereffective hits are more likely to crit.

RACHEL

pokémon: froslass. type: ice. weakness: steel. moves: ice beam, will-o-wisp support move: x speed all. trainer move: i’m gonna crush you~--raises special attack and speed; ensures the next hit will be supereffective. passive skills: ghost cloak--this pokémon is harder to hit than others. endurance--if the pokémon enters battle with full HP, allows it to endure a hit with 1 HP.

Aesen / @welcome-to-our-domain, Hop / @no-more-royalty and Sophocles have advanced through the Violet bracket to the match with Lear!

The Royal Blue Bracket teams were disqualified due to Lear being a bitch.

@horizonboundtrainer / may, @orresnatcher / wes and lyra (npc) VS. paul (npc’d from @talkaboutpathetic), ash (npc’d from @kidfrompallet) and kabu (npc)

in the VIOLET BRACKET, we have…

Hop / @no-more-royalty, Aesen / @welcome-to-our-domain and Sophocles (NPC) vs. Blue / @blueshadesofvictory, Marnie / @yell960 and Sera (NPC)!

and in the ROYAL BLUE BRACKET, we have…

May / @horizonboundtrainer, Wes / @orresnatcher and Lyra (NPC) vs. Paul / @talkaboutpathetic, Ash (NPC - withdrawn) and Kabu (NPC)!

team 1: paul / @talkaboutpathetic​, ash / @kidfrompallet​ (withdrawn), and kabu (NPC)

team 2: steven / @ringsreachingout​, diantha / @diamontha​, and leon (NPC)

the battle happens on the last day of the semifinals. it proceeds smoothly at first, with steven, diantha and leon having the upper hand, paul, ash and kabu, though with some seriously impressive accomplishments, have a very hard time against a team consisting of three champions. 

steven, diantha and leon look like they are going to win, until at the very last minute–something goes wrong with charizard! lear sends lila’s chandelure into charizard’s body to generate ghostly attacks from inside charizard itself, creating the illusion that it has used shadow claw. though shadow claw is a move that charizard can in fact learn, it wasn’t one of leon’s registered moves for charizard during this tournament, so now his entire team is in trouble.

the first one is that i would like to extend the first round of the contest to jan 25, 2020 for everyone. i’ve noticed a lot of people struggling, so i would like to help out. keep in mind though, in the interest of keeping the contest moving, this will be the last extension. if you are not done by that point, please post what you already have and then write what you planned for the ending (or you could also timeskip to the ending).

the second is that i regret to announce whitley/imbicilite is no longer part of this contest and his character will be converted to an NPC; the NPC is not his character fabien and not associated with any of fabien’s actions. all plots with him will remain intact, however, as retconning him would probably take out about half the event’s plot so far. they will be retained with the assumption that fabien was not able to continue.

due to extenuating circumstances, the royal blue bracket has a change in partners, with the teams in bold font being the ones sabotaged.

@horizonboundtrainer and @orresnatcher​ are now battling @imbicilite and @ballguysays.
