ROCKET BATTLE LOG
As the clock nears 10 PM on Saturday, the manor (or the parts of it that people aren’t blocked off from, anyway) is completely abuzz with speculation and gossip. What could Lance possibly be planning to announce? And why haven’t any of the Elite Four even been around? They’re fairly reclusive, but it’s safe to say that everyone is at least a little curious, if not actively suspicious.
But it’s time for the big reveal, so manor staff are bustling around, reminding everybody to be in the ballroom in a few minutes for Lance’s important unveiling of… well, whatever it is he’s unveiling! The staff all seem pretty excited, so it must be big, right?
There’s been plenty of room to dance and move around in the Ballroom until now, but with everybody packed in there at once, the space is a little tighter. Especially with the small stage and podium set up in the middle. As the last (or seemingly last, assuming there aren’t any carefree stragglers who didn’t bother turning up on time) person is ushered in by staff, complete with whispers of "Psst! Hurry up, it’s almost time!", the door to the ballroom is shut and the lights dim slightly, sending a hush over the audience.
After some fumbling from whoever’s in charge of the lights (... wait, is that Captain Garfield and his Rattata up there? He’s a theater tech too?! That guy must REALLY be a jack of all trades!), a spotlight flips on and centers on the podium, where the head staffer (who might be recognized as the one with the terrible hipster mustache who’s been doing a PARTICULARLY egregious amount of schmoozing and sucking-up to trainers over the course of the party) is stepping up to the podium.
He clears his throat.
"Welcome, welcome, ladies and gentlemen! On behalf of the Elite Four, we’re all so happy you could join us! We hope you’ve all been having as good a time as we have, because I’ve got to say, I think this is our best party yet!"
He looks around at the assembled trainers eagerly, as though anticipating unanimous agreement.
When there’s an impatient buzz (and a shout of "Get on with it already!" from someone) instead, he laughs awkwardly.
"Oh, yes, well, we’re all here for one reason, right? To see what Lance has brought you all here for! Well, folks, as you can see, he’s not here with us right now… He’s had a bit of a-- how shall we say… an accident! So sad, I know! But fortunately, he’s graciously allowing us to make his announcement for him. Which is…"
On cue, the spotlight turns stark red. If anyone has the presence of mind to look, Captain Garfield's Rattata is holding a bit of red plastic filter in front of it.
But chances are, everyone’s attention is probably going to stay on the stage, because the guy at the podium literally just RIPPED HIS CLOTHING OFF DRAMATICALLY, revealing… yes… a very, very familiar black-and-red uniform underneath.
It’s followed immediately by more ripping sounds as other staff and even some partygoers scattered throughout the audience follow his lead, and the telltale noises and flashing of Pokemon being released from their balls. And many voices, all yelling at once...
"PREPARE FOR TROUBLE! AND MAKE IT DOUBLE!!"
The music shifts.
OOC Notes: The number of characters who must participate in the battle to call it a success is 37! In order to keep track, once you have made your first comment to this post (either a toplevel or a tag to someone else!), please bring it to the CHECK IN THREAD by 10 PM EST tomorrow! YOUR COMMENT MUST BE POSTED TO THIS THREAD IN ORDER FOR IT TO COUNT TOWARDS THE TOTAL.
GUESS WHAT GUYS?
OOC notes: Here it is, the part where your characters get to explore the Rocket Base and discover its secrets! Maps of each level will be posted in this top post as they are opened up, with blacked out sections being revealed as obstacles are cleared. Obstacle clearing will be based on total comment count to any mod comment with a count listed, whether those comments are contained in a single thread or spread out over multiple different ones. As many people can comment to an obstacle or base level as wish to, for as long as they want, even after it has been cleared. There are a total of two obstacles (including the first one) which are triggered by character actions we will be watching for!
Anyone who wants to thread anything out in the base or mansion during the time characters are trapped (and who doesn't want to use this log for whatever reason) is free to make their own network/action posts with whatever they like! But mods will not be coming around to those with interaction, and they will not count towards clearing obstacles.
Questions? Ask them HERE!
NOTE FOR ITEM RNG: In order for the mods to give out your item, your character must be actively looking through the loot piles in whatever tag you'd like us to respond to with your item! Items can also be given out in the middle of an existing thread between characters, whenever they get around to searching the piles! The header does not have to be in your toplevel.

Lust!
Tag-team?
[She's never battled at Lust's side before (and actually, never SEEN Lust battle), but two's better than one and either way she doesn't want to leave her friend on her own against the Rockets.]
no subject
[And due to so many people she knows worried about potential threats from other individuals here, she's brought a rather impressive team with her. And she's not hesitating to use them, striking a battle stance in her prom dress and reaching into her clutch.]
I'd be delighted!
[Amoz is already howling flame at the nearest grunts as Lust turns to Heather, daring them to send any of their teams against him. Lust throws out Dark and Dirty, her Umbreon to back him up - no matter what Amoz may think, he can't take on a team on his own.]
The more the merrier!
no subject
[She'll have to tease Lust later about the classy prom-dress battle pose, but for now, Heather's focused on the battle.]
Hazel! Electroweb! Tricia, Iron Tail them once they're stuck!
no subject
[It's one of Lust's go to moves, not being much of a battle trainer. But it tends to serve her well, and the Umbreon darts in as soon as Heather's Pikachu attacks. There's always something thrilling, when she does end up battling. She supposes it's the scenarios in which she does - fighting in defense is something much different than doing so in offense. There's a pride to be taken in it.]
[And they deserve it, for ruining her date.]
This is what happens when you interrupt important romantic evenings!
no subject
[The Pokemon facing them-- several Raticates and a big fuckoff Haunter, are driven thoroughly back. One Raticate still struggles to get free of Hazel's electrified webbing (nobody expects a Pikachu to shoot WEBBING, but hey, a Move Tutor offered one time while they were traveling in Kanto, and Heather wasn't gonna say NO...) and Hazel gives it another WHOP with her tail to both break it free and knock it out.]
[The others are running.]
YEAH, GET LOST!
no subject
[Lust is already fishing around in her clutch to see if she has any healing items on her. She usually has burn heals - Guttle and curling irons aren't close friends, no matter how hard Guttle tries - but rarely the generic sort of items.]
That was some very nice battling, Heather.
no subject
[She sniffs loudly, tossing her hair out of her face with a jerk of the head. Meanwhile, Tricia comes circling back around, all wags and happy panting now that they've dispatched their immediate foes, eager for praise. Heather clasps her muzzle between her hands, giving it a distracted but affectionate shake, grinning faintly at Lust.]
And haha, well. Y'don't become a Johto Champion by sitting around, after all.
