Introduction
Hi my name is Veinexes, and this will be the third Pokemon game (second PTu) game I have run. Most were run on other sites like GITP and whatnot, but not many got very far. I hope to break that spell with this game and bring it all the way home. Thank you for your interest and without further ado, here's the game.
PLOT:
The eight kingdoms that settled the lands of Avalous had always had a tenuous peace between them. Grudges between factions sometimes spanning generations back. It would seem that conflict was nigh unavoidable. Suddenly the world saw a shift, strange creatures began emerging from the deep reaches of the world. These "Mystic Beasts" possessed immense power and caused the kingdoms of the time to halt their military advances on their neighbors for fear of the beasts powers.
Eventually the scholars of the realm devised the uses of mystic arts to bind the beasts to powerful individuals, mostly royalty, who found a bolstering of vigor to resume their actions. Once again war loomed, though there was one kingdom that saw it differently. The then ruling kingdom proposed a contest, in place of wars and plots there would be a agreed upon Champion. Each kingdom would choose representatives for their kingdom which would be sent out to conquer the capitals of each region by defeating their Defenders and claiming their crests.
Each region is limited to a maximum of two representatives who may work separately or in tandem, though ultimately only one may be the Champion. It is the Champion of this contest that will hold sway over the continent for the next ten years until another contest is held and a new champion crowned.

Special Notes: Setting specific changes will be made and listed below.
1. ___ balls are now replaced with ___ seals; Common (poke) , Mystic (great) , Exalted (ultra), and Supreme (Master) respectively all aprikorn balls retain their naming convention although with seal replacing ball.
2. Poke centers are Houses of Healing, otherwise churches, who remain neutral in this war as they are sanctuary's for all citizens of the continent. This means they do not charge you just for being from out of kingdom to help recover your Pokemon and characters own wounds.
3. There is no set order for the conquering of the land, The defender will scale with your progression. Battles can be fought three ways.
- Pokemon battles as usual.
- Champion battle; Champion battles allow the trainer to get involved in a full contact battle with one Pokemon assisting them, Both must be rendered unable to battle to win.
- Knight and Squire; Like a champion battle but the Pokemon may not attack, only use moves to support (Growl, Helping Hand, Supersonic), or affect the weather. The Pokemon's Ability doesn't not affect the trainers battling. Only the trainer needs to be rendered unable to battle to win.
4. Pokemon exist in two forms. Either out and walking with you, or in the form of energy that summons them from your Crystal. To summon a Pokemon you must hold the crystal up and speak it's name, a magic circle will draw itself within 2 meters of the trainer and summon the Pokemon in that location. The trainer must be able to see where he is summoning the Pokemon or risk failing in the attempt.
