this is the run, we are invincible

[The days are here, and the Battle Park is all done up for the show. Banners with a weird shield-like symbol announce the Dome-tide tournament, and everything is organized in an orderly fashion. Everyone who signed up will be directed to their place and given a free water and name tag, and spectators will get a program detailing all the matches and locations.

The prizes are... well, something that a weird nerd would think are good prizes. First prize gets a Nugget, second a bunch of EXP candy, and third and fourth get literally just 30 Ulternian Poké Balls each. She had to be talked out of giving you textbooks.

select your team, b yourself, and have fun!]



[HOW IT WORKS

The bracket was seeded with characters who were signed up on the thread linked above for the month's plotting post! Since there were 10 teams and thus four people would have had to play an extra round, I gave those slots mainly to people who signed up multiple characters. You can find the bracket here with all the results, which were done via RNG.

The matches can be threaded out on the post in their toplevels according to the RNGed results, or can be skipped, depending on player preference. There will be a toplevel for rounds 1, 2, 3, and 4, and another for general spectating.

ICly, this runs on the 12th, but backtags until whenever are fine as always! This is a player-run event, so if you need anything, let me know!]

Ulternian Chikorita, right? They're certainly cute. I don't know who you might have in reserve, but you could always try asking them what they think. Though I'm sure you've already done that, right?

That's right! Mine's a bit shy but she's still on the young side. It's going to take time for her to get her footing.

[He didn't mind though, as far as he knew he had all the time in the world.]

I guess that's true. I just know at least three of them would want to stay on my team...but I wouldn't mind starting fresh too. Just so I can surprise my rivals to be!

[domeinion]

I see! I've never been the type to switch up my team, but there were particular circumstances that didn't exactly make that viable. But it sounds like you're having a lot of fun the way things are.

[brightasmoone]

I like changing up my team when I can, personally. It helps me bond with all the Pokemon I've caught.

[Elio's beaming while thinking about it.]

Hehe, things have been a lot of fun, yeah! There's still so much to see and find here in Ultern.

[domeinion]

There always is! That's how it is when you've got a mindset of discovery. There's always something new that you can't take for granted. Of course, being in an entirely new situation certainly helps with that.

[brightasmoone]

You're right on that! I think it also helps a lot to have something to focus on while trying to figure out a way home, honestly. Working on the Pokedex, and challenging the Ultern League... it sure makes me excited to get up in the morning!

[domeinion]

You're a positive person, aren't you? I have to say, it is nice.

[brightasmoone]

Haha, I guess living in Alola really rubbed off on me!

[Elio's grinning wide.]

Besides it's hard not to be positive with how nice everyone has been in Ultern.

[domeinion]

That's true. They definitely know how to be accommodating, even if it's because people keep being sent here.
