[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Iron]

What exactly is a Pokeathlon?


I forgot one thing: Vernon uses Ask Sylvie on the mystic. "You're a psychic type. Are these guys the real deal? Do the futures they see really come true? Where do they get their powers? What's their history like?"

Think the Sports/Athletics version of Pokemon Contests and Showcases. The Main Categories are Strength, Speed, Hardiness, Wit, Flexibility (Physical and Choice), Spectacle (Think showy kind of Sports, like Wrestling or doing Feats), and Power (Trying to use Moves/Abilities/Pokemon's inherent qualities to make a BIG display). Depending on where you land in the bracket you could end up capping out at 'Bronze' Level or have a chance to compete for the Gold.

Sylvia Says! : "Hmm....it depends. Without being there to verify or assess I can't say for certain *what* style of Fortune Telling or Divination they're using, but generally any Human that has the gift of Channeling, Special Power, or some sort of connection to the extraordinary can at least Primeape at it. Better ones have Tools and/or specially trainer Pokemon to help them, or have something obvious or Special about them.

"In any case, any readings from a Fortune Teller should be taken with a grain of salt unless they're of some renown or Power - the future is hardly stable, and any attempts to divine it only makes such determinations inherently unreliable. Their are always exceptions, though, so use your own judgement. Historically Fortune Tellers and alike are a reclusive and eccentric groups - widely shunned or fear by their societies, and generally only coming out to the public during big events, ongoing or soon to come. In other words, they're an odd bunch that tend to make things odder."

Hmm, is there a pool available in every category?
