[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Dagny wheels into the lobby of her Gym as you enter. "Hello Nathan. I thought I would come out personally to prep you on the rules for my gym badge battle, though I will need a moment alone to prepare, as I'm sure you will also appreciate. Normally a secretary does this."

"I perform 3v3 1 on 1 Pokemon battles. Switching is allowed as normal within League rules. A Pokemon can continue until it forfeits or finds itself unable to continue. You may bring six Pokemon with you but once you send in your third Pokemon, that is your team. Nothing unusual here."

"I am very open minded about item usage, but there were complaints that Potions combined with the Steel typing make for unpleasant battles. Therefore, I amended my rules so that no wound-healing items are allowed on either side. Any number of other items are allowed, but only one usable item per round of battle. Held items are fine, including non-League-approved items. If you're unfamiliar with these, they are normally recovered from the days of Sarimanok and have unusual effects. I don't mind those."

"You are permitted to command your Pokemon to do anything, including Lethal moves if it somehow helps you win. Purposely slaying my Pokemon is not allowed, obviously, as that would be a crime. I hold back the Lethal moves in my arsenal. However, the trainer must stay out of the battle, aside from commands and items."

"The battle takes place in my Steel Arena. Spectators are separated by bulletpunchproof glass. Trainers have a smaller booth in which they may take shelter."

"Any questions? Help yourself to the PC."
