Badge Requests

[indigo_league]

 What does it take? It changes for each gym! Normally, the games increase in difficulty as you progress, but that wouldn't be any fun if characters could just as easily take on the Gyms that are supposed to be for top trainers only. THEREFORE, the gym leaders aren't going to be pushovers like in the games! In order to win a badge, the mods will take into account your current roster and the attacks and advantages to see whether your pokémon is strong enough to win a badge or not.

Each gym leader has a Regular Team of pokemon and an Elite Team of pokemon you can challenge. It's up to a trainer to decide which team to challenge, but if you take on the Elite Team of six level 100 Pokemon, you'll receive double the prize money. The items, however, are not doubled. Excellent for trainers looking for the extra challenge or those looking to make money fast.

!!! Badges must be mod approved. To earn a badge, please comment on this post. Please don't ask for more than two badges to be approved at once!

The Elite Four is now distributing Keystones and Mega Stones to promising trainers! Any trainer who has defeated all eight gyms of a single region will be granted a Keystone and one Mega Stone of their choice. No player will be able to have more than one Mega Stone at a time, and those looking to switch theirs out may do so once every four months. Mega Stones may be used in any casual trainer battle, but as far as gyms go may only be used in Elite battles.

The Indigo Plateau is now open to challengers! To qualify, trainers must have all sixteen badges from Johto and Kanto. Every Pokémon they face will be level 100, and the Elite Four and the Champion have heaps of talent and experience. As such, we will be reviewing Indigo Plateau challenges with more scrutiny than we bring to badge requests. A higher level of strategy is required to win on this field. Show us what you've got!

This Gym is part not of the Indigo League, but the Aurora League.	Aurora League Gym Leaders may choose their own battle specializations, as well as. design their own unique Gym (which will take one month to build from the time of request) and Badge (which will be available as soon as the Gym opens). They will be compensated for their work as Gym Leaders with a stipend that will cover building costs, labor (the Leader's and any Trainers they may employ), and rewards for victorious challengers. We ask that Aurora Gym Leaders think carefully about the location of their Gym and the difficulty level they wish to present challengers. We also ask that they create their own Badge Request page like this one so that others can request battles with them. To officially request an Aurora League Gym, fill out the provided template and comment here.

Please use this form to request a badge or a showdown with the Elite Four! Post your request as a comment to this post. Badges will generally be processed once per week, on either Wednesday or during the weekend. Please try not to PM or IM mods about badges (including elite challenges) unless your request has gone unanswered for more than a week.

!!! Please request badges as your character is actually in the general area of the gym!

!!! To preserve the spirit of the game, obtaining badges using recently-inherited Pokémon (ie, Pokemon received from dropped characters) that massively outlevel your own is discouraged. If this happens, you may be asked by the badge mod to revise your team. Inherited Pokemon that your character has had for a while and are the same level as the rest of your character's team are fine to use!

!!! Remember that you must fight all four members of the Elite Four and Champion Lance in a row. You may heal your Pokémon between battles and take a short break, but you cannot leave without ending your challenge.

[lioness_rampant]

Character: Allura | lioness_rampant
Badge/Gym Leader: Lt. Surge / Thunder
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here! - Jewel the Tsareena, Gyrgan the Cinderace, Blaytz the Altaria, Trigel the Pachirisu
Battle Details: It's been a while and Allura sure doesn't have any pokemon at this point that aren't super OP for this battle so here we go.

Jewel the Tsareena is first on the field of battle, facing down Surge's Electabuzz. She'll start with Teeter Dance to confuse it, and from this point on, she's going to do what she does best and kick kick kick the daylights out of her opponent with Trop Kick. While she doesn't have a damage-dealing type advantage, being Grass-type means she takes half damage from Electric moves. Once she's worn Electabuzz down, she'll seal the deal with Leaf Storm.

Gyrgan the Cinderace is up next to take on Magneton, storming the field with a Quick Attack to get in a priority hit. Not unlike Tsareena, he's an ace kicker, and will use the moves Pyro Ball and Double Kick against Magneton.

To finish out the day, Blaytz the Altaria takes the stage and immediately Mega Evolves, dropping his Flying type in the process to become Dragon/Fairy. He'll start off with a song, using his Disarming Voice to do damage, and follow that up with Dragon Breath and Moonblast.

If Jewel or any of the Pokemon on Allura's team are afflicted with paralysis, she's able to use Aromatherapy to cure them. Trigel the Pachirisu is there for backup support as well, in case any of the others faint.



Badge/Gym Leader: Erika / Rainbow
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Here! - Rime the Frosmoth, Isille the Vivillon, Lahja the Beautifly
Battle Details: Rime will be first up to bat, starting off the battle against Jumpluff by summoning Hail. It follows this with a Quiver Dance and will use Aurora Beam and Blizzard to finish things off.

Tangrowth's opponent will be Isille the Vivillon, who kicks things off with Quiver Dance. Once that's done, she'll shoot off a Supersonic to confuse Tangrowth. Bug Buzz and Hurricane are her follow-up moves.

To round out the battle, Lahja the Beautifly will face off against Bellossom. Like the rest, he'll be starting off with a Quiver Dance, then Silver Wind. Bug Buzz is the move he'll use to carry the team to victory.
