'Cause Baby, Tonight The DJ's Got Us Falling In Love Again...
Who: EVERYONE
Where: Scenic Tohjo Falls!
When: Friday, April 5 through Saturday, April 6
Summary: WHAT SUMMARY DO YOU NEED, IT'S POKEPROM
Rating: May vary by thread, please mark accordingly!
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
no subject
[It's good to see the types and Pokémon they'll use, should they ever be challenged. Rosie giggles to that, and points at the pool picture. Looks fun!]
no subject
[He snickers, turning his eyes to an image with Lance and his team. Dragons, huh?]
no subject
[He's seen those dragons, too. Along with the ghosts, fighters and icy things. Why no Dark- or Ground-types?]
no subject
[If anything, it just encourages the same strategies applied to the leaders. Can the Elite Four really be that much tougher?]
no subject
[Besides, he's not sure the effort would be worth it.]
no subject
[Heh. But he doubts it. It's really just wild speculation on his past.]
no subject
[And now he's getting ideas.]
no subject
[At least, that's how it always seems to go in the movies.]
no subject
[Or big man-sized holes, but that would be too obvious to miss.]
no subject
[He snickers.]
Now I almost want to go out and hunt down secret pathways myself.
no subject
[And then there's every single other castle and cave in his world, too.]
They must have a secret training area somewhere nearby. Perhaps we could find it.
no subject
[He always pictured something more like... a hidden dojo. Oh, JRPG logic.]
And if they did have a secret training zone, I wonder what kind of secrets it'd have.
no subject
[Let's not think about the fact that the castle doesn't even have a a town nearby.]
Permanent access to move tutors and rare TMs, perhaps? Complex machinery that analyzes the effects training has on their Pokémon?
no subject
[Darn it, Cecil, you make him want to see that for himself. Why does everyone else come from such cool worlds, anyway?]
Complex machines do make sense, though. And I could definitely see tutors, TMs, and maybe even special items to amplify training beyond what you can grab at a mart.
no subject
[And the king's parents were... depressing storyline bosses. Oh dear.]
More importantly, they'd also regularly have access to each other as training partners. That'd help them maintain a high competitive level.
