Log:

It's here! It's here! Clair's first-ever (and, Lance hopes, last-ever) Pokemon Prom is here, coming to you straight from scenic Tohjo Falls! You've packed your bags, you've hitched your rides, and now you're taking your first steps in to a super swank palatial PokeManor where, prior to now, only the pseudo-legendary best of the best had ever tread. Gosh, that must make you pretty special, huh? (Well, you and everyone else in the massive crowd that arrived along with you, that is.) Of course, you're all destined for greatness. But at the moment, your more immediate destiny is forty-eight hours of fun.

So get going!

☆ YOU ARE HERE ☆




KEY:

• BLUE areas are where the bulk of the party's events will be located! As you can see, the festivities will be taking place largely outdoors, and the grounds will reflect that; there'll be the usual decorations of pretty floral arrangements, little lights, things like that. Think garden party!
• GREEN areas are where guests will be staying overnight! Unfortunately, you'll be sleeping-bagging it up, since this is a house party and not a hotel party, but this is where you'll be given space to leave your possessions, claim some sleeping room, and generally crash for the night once the festivities do you in. (Note: you're welcome to try to sleep elsewhere, but Clair might catch you and disapprove. You don't want that, do you?)
• RED areas are unfortunately off-limits to guests! If asked about them, anyone will tell you that those are the rooms and areas that the Elite Four have claimed for themselves, and they're sealed off tight. Please don't try to break into them anyway; you'll only be caught and punished.

• AREA A is the designated Indoor Ballroom area, for the people who would prefer to class it up a little more than just your standard garden party. There's a big skylight, hardwood floors, tasteful artwork, and classy music — a little more upscale than the shenanigans going on outside, for the people who'd rather that kind of thing.
• AREA B will be the area of interest for anyone hoping to sneak a little Pokemon research on the side: this is the Library/Gallery area of the house. While most of it is your standard "tall shelves of ancient identical books" fare, there are a few points of interest — a sculpture of Lugia, a painting of the Ecruteak City skyline before the Brass Tower burned down, some stone etchings of what might be Fossil Pokemon, and so on. Guests are welcome to look around a little, but burying themselves in research the whole time will be highly frowned upon, and you'll be politely encouraged to leave the library alone and go rejoin the festivities if you hole up in there for too long.
• AREA C is...well, the Parking Lot. More importantly, it's where you take your Pokemon battles if you simply gotta get your battle on; keep it out and away from the house, please, and try not to make too much of a mess. Skirmishes, sorties, and sparring will be tolerated here and here alone. Do it anywhere else and you'll be facing some very displeased hosts.
• AREA D is the Elite Four's Trophy Room. Please be quiet and respectful if you come up here to have a look around; it's a solemn kind of place. Here you'll find various collections of badges, ribbons, awards, and trophies put on display, with one wall devoted to each member of the Elite Four. Of particular note is a glass case with a broken Ultra Ball mounted inside; the brass plaque attached claims it's the ball Lorelei was using when she almost caught Articuno. On a lighter note, there are also pictures of the Elite Four themselves — your standard Official Portraits™, sure, but also some framed candids of them in various configurations hanging out with their Pokemon and engaged in various activities around the house (Agatha making waffles, Lance and Bruno clowning around in the pool, stuff like that).

THE ORIGINAL INFOPOST | QUESTIONS AND INQUIRIES HOTLINE

Comments

[these_guys]

Pssh! They still have this tacky room up here?

[That would be GYM LEADER BLUE, strutting into the trophy room as if he owns it. Not even the slightest bit impressed by anything on display here.]

They should put up a few pictures of me in here! I beat them all once, so maybe I should just toss up a sign that says 'Blue was here, the Elite Four are losers' somewhere!

[paladinlost]

Perhaps they fear they'd run out of wall space if they put up a picture for every Pokémon of theirs you defeated.

[Cecil doesn't look up from that waffle photo as he speaks, but Rosie does turn around to wave at Blue.]

[these_guys]

Hey, I don't need a bunch. [Blue gives Rosie a two fingered salute with a grin in return for her greeting before he continues.] Just one perfectly framed centerpiece that shows me and my team towering over their KO'd parties.

[paladinlost]

[That comment gets him to turn around, as he thinks about it a little.]

...Unless they're using a Magikarp each, you'd need a very large painting to fit them all in. One of those photos would never be enough.

[these_guys]

What, are you kidding? I'm way beyond Magikarp. I've got a Gyarados on my main lineup for a reason. They'll just need to use a super wide angle lens.

Besides, you ever seen a Magikarp battle? It's just depressing. Seeing two rookie trainers yell "Magikarp, use Splash!" over and over is the thing of nightmares.

[beforethedarkness]

What was it like to battle them?

[Having finally heard about the trophy room, Sasuke has made his way up to it and come across none other than Blue. He doesn't recognize the other as a gym leader yet (not having run into him previously), but whoever this guy is... If he's beaten them all, it's either a serious bluff or he's really strong.]

[these_guys]

Heh! It was a piece of cake! I didn't even use all the items I had stored up. [Smug as can be.]

[beforethedarkness]

[You used items? Lame, Blue. Lame.

He tries doesn't let it show to his face and shakes it off, looking up at him again.]

So they weren't that strong?

[these_guys]

[If you think you can beat the E4 without items, you're just delusional, man.]

Hey, I never said that. They were plenty strong. Definitely better than anybody else I'd fought up until then. Problem is, I was just way stronger!

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

You did what?

[Sorry, the astonished man in the Ekans mask thought he heard someone say they beat the Elite Four.]

You beat them all?

[these_guys]

That mask covering your ears or something? Of course I did. You're looking at a former champ here.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

A former champ?

[As much as he wants to yell that he can hear him just fine, he’ll refrain.]

Forgive me, I had no idea. That must have been quite the impresssssive accomplishment.

[these_guys]

Got that right! It was the toughest challenge I ever had outside of him.

[islandshore]

So you took them out, huh?

[And in comes Riku, flanked by a Charizard Blue might vaguely recognize. He made in appearance in their Elite match way back when, but eh. That's not the point, and Riku's more intrigued by the room and Blue's claims.]

And just how tough were they?

[these_guys]

[Sorry, Riku, he don't recognize you or your Charizard. If he had the capacity to remember every challenger he faced he'd never actually lose!]

Toughest actual challenge there is, of course! I could wipe 'em out all over again if I really wanted to. Not like they go around shuffling their teams or anything.

[islandshore]

[True, and Gym Leaders probably have to face hundreds of trainers. It's like being a celebrity with a dash of kick-butt action.]

If they actually did rotate, it'd probably create some pretty steep road bumps. Especially if they're as tough as you say.

[babel_hacker]

[Whoaaaaaaaa, it's Blue!

Okay, Atsuro, just keep it cool.]

I dunno about having a sign like that around. Won't they just toss it away?

[His Lucario peeks from behind him, giving Blue a curious look.]

[these_guys]

No way, they gotta show me some respect as former champ! I'm 100% positive I could get away with it.

Clair'd totally lose it if she saw me doing it though. Could be pretty funny for that alone, heh.

[babel_hacker]

I'm not too sure about that, since that'd be rather rude...but I agree about part with Clair!

[Sorry, Clair, he remembers that fit. And please don't overhear him.]

[doitrockapella]

[So naturally Carmen's heading upstairs to scope out the Trophy Room she's been hearing about, because she's snoopy and she'd be remiss in her duties as the world's greatest thief if she didn't know every nook and cranny of this house before her time here was up, and for a while there it looks like everything's going smoothly as—

Oh, god save the queen, it's that asshole from the Viridian City gym.

Well, maybe he'll be too occupied with trying to catch a glimpse of his reflection in the frames' glass to notice her just...ninjaing casually away...

...in her glittering silver dress yeah okay she's doomed.

WELL, maybe he won't recognize her as the girl he spent a day chasing around Viridian City hassling her for her phone number...or a battle...or an invitation to come back to his room so he can give her a private viewing of all his trophies...

...yeah okay she's doomed.]

[these_guys]

[NOT SO FAST, STAR FOX... Wait, wrong Nintendo franchise. GYM LEADER BLUE wants to woo!]

Oho? Now whadda we have here? I have the distinct feeling I've seen you before in a far darker shade. Red, right? I never forget things when it comes to the color red.

[doitrockapella]

[DON'T MAKE EYE CONTACT DON'T MAKE EYE CONTACT DON'T — welp, shit, spotted.]

Oh? Is it a favorite color of yours?

[ACT NATURAL MAYBE THE MASK IS DOING ITS JOB.

...wait, does that mean he's recognizing her by something other than her face—

Ew.]

[fonic_sight]

[Jade looks over at the gym leader, smirking a little at that spunky attitude.]

I'm sure a sign like that would be a wonderful addition to the room.

[these_guys]

Right? Too bad I don't have anyone following me and carrying the appropriately sized picture and frame to toss up. Haven't had someone to do that for me in a long time!

[fonic_sight]

Oh? Well, in that case, I think I have quite the person for you. There's an individual who hails from my world, who's been trying to find a more productive career.

This sounds rather perfect for him, if you're willing to help the elderly.
