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.

[Jean shrugs.]
All right, keep choking him.
[Look, Carey, if your trainer wasn't busy choking a Rocket grunt, Jean would let him deliver orders. As he's occupied, Jean is substituting. Everyone can sit in a circle and have the YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD discussion later.]
[As Blitz goes flying through the air, spinning like the ball of death he so often fancies himself to be, there's the faintest shift in the music. The Rocket grunts hear the music change to something very different, right as they glance up and their world explodes with a direct impact Self-Destruct.]
[The chaos gives the cornered trainers time to get away, and when the smoke clears, the Rocket grunts are staggering around with their hands over their ears, and Blitz is laying in the middle of them, knocked out cold.]
no subject
[Eren puts the squeeze back on the guy, who quickly turns purple again and tries to tap out desperately. Nope. Not happening]
[There would have to be a discussion like that. A VERY IMPORTANT ONE. But for now, ownership went out the door. There were baddies to be offed, and Pokémon owned by military brats to do the offing. Which meant breaking with tradition if they had to!
Oh man, rad theme music, Ballfriend. Carey defends herself from the blast, letting the gust of air it makes sweep her away. Then, when the dust clears, she swoops back down and collects the fainted Electrode]
no subject
YEAH! MR. SELF DESTRUCT!
[As Carey brings Blitz back, Jean readies one of his Revives, waving it over his head so Carey can see it.]
no subject
[Carey spots the yellow crystalline medicine and swoops back, depositing Blitz at Jean's feet and looking up at him expectantly]
no subject
[Jean is just going to ignore Eren's blatantly wrong opinion about Blitz's attack music and drop down to one knee next to his downed Electrode when Carey drops him off.]
Thanks, Carey! Good bat!
[Or... whatever she is, besides something with wings that loves balls.]
[Regardless, Jean sprints Blitz with the Revive medicine, and the Electrode shudders before opening his eyes, awake again. He blinks at Jean before rolling away, back towards Carey. All right, back to business, let's go explode more Rockets!]
