Gym Rules and Information

[Scarlett Thatcher]

because this is a really good idea.

Welcome to the Dynamo Town gym!

Well champ in training, you've gotten this far so you must be good. The young Miss Scarlett is new to the gym and tends to go roaming a lot; you're lucky she's here and waiting. She uses fire pokemon, but, champ in training, be careful. She likes to mix things up a little bit.

Gym Layout: A small volcano was built inside the gym and actually generates lava. Hot lava. To get to the gym leader, who makes her home in the core of said volcano, a trainer has to navigate around the thing and switching off three switches, hidden in the rocks, and battling her underlings. Once all the switches are off, the lava stops flowing in one place on the volcano, revealing a passageway. Right after you enter the tunnel, the gym leader's direct apprentice challenges, and once that battle is won trainers are free to challenge Scarlett.
The inside of the volcano is a little anticlimactic. High ceilings, smooth cave walls, and a completely cleared battle field on a rock platform in the middle of the volcano; if one looks down from the edge, there's a lava pool. For winning, a trainer will get the Lava Badge.

Battle Rules:
- Ten posts per person, max. Preferably less.
- No more than three dodges per battle. Misses will happen and will be clearly be marked in posts; as in, if your pokemon misses, you have to state that the attack misses and so on.
- You will be judged in your role-playing ability as well as general creativeness and strategy. An actual strategy. Not just come in with a million water pokemon and blast the gym leader into oblivion. Legendary pokemon are allowed but really frowned upon (and most of them have bad stats anyway). Also, general role-playing rules apply.
- All battles are single battles except for battles with Scarlett; she usually does double battles, and she only allows two pokemon per battle. Pokemon can only use moved they know and that you said they know in your profile.
- Post length is whatever you believe it needs to be, but know that one or two liners aren't going to get you many points.

Please note: I am in school and am busy most of the time. Therefore, if you want to battle, please make a thread and pm me the link. It may be a day or two, it may be a week and a half, but I will reply.
