Battle Convention!
Early Saturday morning, the doors of one of the largest --if not the largest-- convention centres in Viridian City open to welcome everybody to this years Battle Convention.
Spread out across several floors, and the battling fields outside, the Battle Convention is the place to be for anyone with an interest in pokemon battling. Whether you are a hardcore battler trying to hone your craft even further, or a newcomer to the battling scene hoping to learn, the Battle Convention has things of interest to everybody. It's promising to be a busy event, with trainers attending from all over Johto and Kanto. Famous battlers and gym leaders alike can be spotted in the crowds, hosting workshops or even entering in the tournaments.
The Tournament Ground
Outside of the convention centre, stands have been erected around at least a dozen Pokemon battle fields. This is where the various Tournaments will be held. Throughout the weekend, three tournaments will be held here. There is the Otherworlder Battle Tournament, a separate tournament for native Elite Four Champions, and a third Li'l Champs tournament for trainers under the age of ten.
Viewing the various battles is absolutely free, and could be a good source of insight into battle strategies employed by some of the best battlers in the region. Or, if you are attending the Li'l Champs tournament -- a most adorable insight into the dedication and friendship between young children and their first Pokemon.
Due to the number of battles, at any given time, various battles will be ongoing. The Li'l Champs tournament will be held on Sunday, while both the Otherworlder battle tournament and the Elite Four Champions battle tournament will have most of their preliminary matches held on Saturday, with the finale few matches on Sunday.
So, if you are done shopping (or maybe just ran out of money) and there aren't any workshops catching your eye, why not come down to the Tournament Grounds and catch a few battles?
First Floor
The first floor of the Convention Centre has been reserved entirely for various workshops and battle demonstrations. In essence, whatever topic related to battling you might be interested in -- whether it is using certain moves or items, battle strategies, or even demonstrations on why you should be adding X type to your roster -- you'll probably find someone here willing to talk about it. Even breeders might find something of interest here, as there are a few people giving workshops on how to breed pokemon for battle-minded customers.
Schedules are available so you won't miss anything you are interested in. Some of these workshops might only be given once, while others are repeated a few times throughout the convention, so make sure to check your schedule!
And among the crowd giving demonstration and workshops, you might even find a few familiar faces -- yes, members of the Aurora League have also been given the chance to speak about any battle topics near to their heart. Why not check out what they have to say?
Second Floor
The second floor of the Convention Centre has been reserved for the important business of commerce. Have some money to burn? Want that sweet serotonin boost of buying a thing? Maybe you deserve a little treat after winning (or losing) your battle. If so, head on up here.
Spread across various rooms, the Battle Convention dealers have everything that could be of interest to a trainer. There is, frankly, far too much to list here individually, so please accept this rough list of what your characters can find here.
However in addition to all of these items, the Silph Co. Booth is drawing a lot of attention. There is an announcement that they will be unveiling something truly special on Sunday, so all of Saturday is awash in rumours and guesses. There is talk that whatever they will be unveiling will be one of the prices in the tournament, though who knows if that is true. When Sunday finally comes, there is a huge crowd around the booth, watching as Silph Co. unveils
EXP-Share, the newest held item to make your training a little easier.
The EXP-Share, which will go on sale in the department stores after this weekend, is a new type of held item. Once given to a Pokemon, this Pokemon will receive EXP during battles, even while not battling itself. Have a Pokemon that is difficult to train like Magikarp? Did you just hatch a new Pokemon, but you are in an area where the wild Pokemon are too high in level for them to train against? Why not give them an EXP-Share and have them comfortably gain EXP without risking them in battle.
Battle Convention attendants can get an early start on buying an EXP-Share, though they are limited to one per customer. The price is 40,000p.
Third Floor
This is where you can go if you need a little break from all the hustle and bustle downstairs. Various food vendors and sit-down places have been set up here, allowing characters to grab a meal or something to drink, rest a little, or even go strategise for upcoming tournament battles.
As always with these type of events UBIRDS will be available to fly characters to Viridian City and back to where they were staying afterwards.

Eventually Harry decides to tell Radley of his shopping for the incoming seasonal and weather gear, “Anyway, I have been looking around for any rain and fall to winter gear for a while now since there is going to be rains coming within the next couple of days, so I need to make sure that me and my team could be prepared for that soon.”
no subject
He sobers at this news. "That's a good idea. There should be someone here selling that. Let's look around."
no subject
For a long while, he has gotten used to sleep out in the open to save on money if he is not within a Pokémon Center, which is not the first time he did so thanks to his Horcrux Hunt, but sooner or later, the rain will be pouring down on him and his team. Essentially leaving them vulnerable to the whims of Mother Nature.
He has a mental shopping list of what to get which includes a packable tent, a rain coat, winter clothes, and an umbrella.
no subject
"Here's some!" Radley says, going over.
no subject
His team agree as they follow their trainer and Radley and his team to the clothing booths for the stuff they will need for fall, winter and rain.
no subject
Lily finds the camping section and calls out.
no subject
“Dartrix, Dar,” Lily hoots up as she gives a good approval of the items her trainer picks out while she finds him a soft warm scarf for the winter with her beak, “Dar?”
“Oh hey, Lily. That is really nice, you really have a good eye for human clothing, right?” he tells her in amusement which gives Lily a happy chuckle.
“Vui-vui! Eevui,” Violet squeaks as she catches up with Lily the Eevee and Ron and the others follow suit.
no subject
Radley examines the picture and info on it. "This one has a floor, so you don't have to sleep directly on the ground," he says.
no subject
“That’s really brilliant! At least I don’t worry about getting partly wet while I’m sleeping on the ground. And Godric fears getting wet a lot since he has a weakness against water. The poor guy has to sleep inside his PokéBall for most nights,” he greatly admires the tent Lily the Eevee finds.
no subject
Yeah, these modern designs are great. I never liked the old style with no floor. Godric should be able to sleep in this one.
[He smiles.]
no subject
Dart-Trix?
(Lily couldn’t help feeling embarrassed as she watches her teammates playing in the tent. She fears that they might get in trouble for messing up a tent, display or otherwise. Although Harry doesn’t feel the same as he chuckles in playfully as he watches the Pokémon playing inside.
It didn’t take long for Violet and Godric to join and the Scout Pokémon happily rolls on the floor in sheer delight.)
Oh hey, look at that: even Godric is enjoying it just as much as the others too.
Growl, Lithe! Growl!
no subject
The Eevees all happily roll and play with the other Eevees and other Pokemon! The tent is very full and is rocking.]
Okay, guys, you need to settle down.
[Radley's mostly start to.]
That's great that they're all enjoying it! That's a good sign.
[He smiles to see Godric's fun.]
no subject
(His team begins to (mostly) settle down and ease up on their rowdy playtime. Lily could finally breathe in relief even though she is still feeling a little uncertain of what she just saw. Thankfully, being a frugal trainer, working in Pokémon Center as much as he could, and previously Violet and Ron Pay Day have certainly pay him off handsomely)
Growl-lithe, Growl! Growlithe!
Yeah, I agree with you and everyone else. I’m going to get it. Plus, the price is just right enough for me to purchase too.
no subject
That's great! I'm sure it'll be a big help.
no subject
(Harry picks up the tent (just not the one on display that his team and Radley’s team were playing at) and begins to make the purchase on the tent while his team gets out of the tent eventually.)
no subject
[He's glad they'll have some protection, but he hopes they'll be indoors during really bad storms.]
no subject
(He is also hoping to find some indoor protection if ever a rough bad storm shows up in Jotho, which may include the time he had to stay at Cherrygrove City during his first days in the region.)
