WCC Team Mission 4.5 - Isle of Armor

[Cecile Silverstone]

The Isles of Armor, a very tranquil place. Peaceful, beautiful sights, and an amazing dojo. The place that Champion Leon came to train. Now was open for this tournament. Soon enough, one by one. The Team regions started appearing in front of the dojo. As they entered, there were screens outside of the dojo that was replaying rules of the Isles of Armor.

Quote:

"Now! Here is how you can collect watts! If you find dens out in the wild, you will earn 50 Watts. Then there are also some Pokemon that are what we call in Galar: Brilliant Pokemon! These Pokemon are just your regular sized Pokemon, but they carry some watts with them. If you battle or catch one, they are worth 25 Watts! And, I've added a new little thing to everyone Challenger's Band! It's a new feature, let me demonstrate. Leon" "Yes sir." Leon held out his arm that had the Challenger band on it as it shot a beam right at Rose. As it did, some information popped up on Leon's Challenger Band showing that Chairman Rose had 300 watts. "You will be able to see how much the opposing Team has! If you were to battle a trainer and win, the opposing teams watts will go down to zero! Yep! Zero, nothing!" The crowd was in shock as it showed how risky it was to battle in the Ailse as well. "For the winning team, they will get a portion of the watts the team lost. So for example, Team Unova is running around with 300 watts. And they only have three members out on the field. BAM! A juicy 100 watt target easy for the picking!"

"Wow Chairman. You really put all the stops for this one, didn't you?" Rose merely smiled at Leon. "But of course! Have to keep things lively don't we? Now, once you collect 200 watts locate the nearest drone you can so you can send it to your team. But becareful, I've put in some little tricks as well. If you successfully send out a drone, you pass. But, you do have a choice. Normally, once you pass you will head back to our lovely dojo. But, if you wish to help your team further and stay out in the wild you can. There is a risk. If you no longer have any Pokemon in the wild, you will be eliminated; even if you activated a drone."

Dojo Master Mustard was standing outside the entrance of the dojo with a big smile to see all the trainers that have made it. "Welcome to the Isle of Armor! As you have heard, 200 watts you passed. And once finished you can come back here, or continue to help your team. But be cautious if you do." Mustard said as a little bear Pokemon was hugging onto his leg looking at all the trainers that were here.

Upon arriving on the Isle of Armor, Odd would first look around and then watch the explanation of the rules again. "So... I feel like we're better off in groups than running solo." He admitted. "We'll be harder to target to take our watts from us if we aren't alone but... If we're a alone, we'll have an easier time sniping the other teams' solo members to take their points." He analyzed.

"Then again, he never said we had to battle the Pokemon in a raid den, just that finding them would award us points." This was going to be a difficult decision, it seemed. The team could only afford perhaps a single dedicated team for any one objective and the others would likely be left to their own devices for the time being should they go that route.

Worse still, it seemed all of the teams were being sent to this single starting point, which meant there would be one of two things about to happen, perhaps even both. Either every team would form a plan and scatter as quickly as possible or the most aggressive teams would start picking fights immediately in order to trim down the opposing forces' backup before offering it to their own battlers.

"Whatever we do, I suggest we figure it out quickly and get out of here, fast."

Brian arrived with the rest of his teammates in the Isle of Armor, a place he'd never been to but had heard of since arriving in Galar. This would be difficult to pull off, and Odd had a good point. The more they stayed in a group, the more chance they had of fending off anyone that tried to battle them. Then again, they would also make a bigger target that way, but that was a thought for another time. For now, they needed to figure out what they were going to do. "Hmm, perhaps trying to take out the other teams might be a good idea," he suggested. "The dens seem like they might be too dangerous, depending on the Pokemon inside."

Beau wouldn't bother with waiting for any clarity on who was going where. He knew he was on what amounted to the B team, so any organization would collapse the second one of the newbies got some insane idea in their head or they met an ounce of resistance. Or they would start with none because no one was taking charge and they were just voicing out what ifs. Oh hell, did that leave him to voice strategy? What did he know? Besides explosions and chaos, all he could think of was how his people used to do foraging. Maybe that could work, as loathe as he was to rememberthat stuff? "Here. Simple plan. Fliers scout for the ground people. Ground people work in pairs or trios, hit scouted targets. Fliers can poach single trainers from other teams or assist ground people with harder takedowns or other complications." Beau explained, opening his Fletchinder's Pokeball as he finished outlining things. "If anyone has a better idea, say it now. Cause I sure as hell ain't a tactician."  

[DeoLux]

Seeing the rules and knowing safety in numbers, Deolux had in his mind "Remember, play fair and hopefully you might catch a pokemon or win the round" Seeing this he was hopeful that even if he lost, he gave it a fair shot. It now was help the team and you might get rewarded for it in the end!

Deciding what to do with this round, he needed to find brilliant pokemon, defeat other trainers, or even raid dens. He would prefer working with someone to defeat a den. However he knew that he needs to make sure the team reaches the maximum amount to win. If that meant that he needed to defeat other trainers, he was ready.

"Cautious. Us. I'm sorry, first time?" Cera remarked, memorizing the video's information pretty quickly as she looked over to the Dojo Master and stayed near Sundaria. Despite the sass, seeing him made her want to be incredibly cautious, fearing he'd be the last sort of person to cross even now. The small Pokemon at his side caught her eye and she wanted to go over and give them a reassuring pat, but figured it was best not to act on the cuteness proximity.

"Anyways... given Litten's inexperience, trying to find a Brilliant Pokemon or two might be more their speed, get them used to fighting. Might be able to handle a den together with a couple of others, though." As she saw it, it might be good experience for Applin too, but she felt the remarks might be a sound suggestion.

"But for the plan at hand. If we're not sticking as a group, at least keep to a few like Beau said. I can sense energy and presences like GRAY can if we need it, too; staying synchronized with most of you shouldn't be too hard once I'm more used to the newer two, so I should be able to work just about anywhere with anyone." She still stuck near Sundaria for the moment, though.

"Well, looks like everyone is here." Mustard said as he looked at all the young faces. "First of all I'd like to be the first here to congratulate all of you for making it this far. The challenge will begin on my countdown. 5!" As he started to count, almost everyone started to take out their Pokemon and was ready to blast off to find the nearest dens.

"4!" People started to panic a bit, as some teams didn't have a plan of attack or defend. In the crowd, Freth was able to pick up on a certain conversation. It was from a small group of the Galar region. "Use sweet scent Whimsicott, quietly before we split. Then Roserade can use sleeping powder." With that knowledge Freth had, he could pull a counter no problem.

"3!" Another group on the Hoen side was speaking about scarring everyone's Pokemon. They had a Granbull out, with all its might, it was pumping itself up to unleash the biggest roar in his life.

2! With the single Alolan trainer, Lillie. She was determined to at least one set of 200 watts by herself. As he had her Clefairy out ready to Teleport them out of harms way.

1!" Everyone went silent as they were waiting for the the gun shot to be heard. The gun shot was heard as everyone started to book it until a certain sweet scent started to slow everyone down.

Quote:

Post your reaction! Post about your what you are going to do about the ones trying to sabotage in the very beginning, then post where you are going after that.

 

[DeoLux]

As the countdown started and he got a nervous feeling about it, Deo had got ready for any sabotage, his ears picked up a lot of other teams getting their sabotages ready and he would think to himself, "Maybe if I can a good start, I might be able to avoid several of their attempts".

The sweet scent caught his nose quickly and he started resisting the very sweet smell as he knew it could be a trap!

After smelling the sweet scent, he bolted away from the source and then decided to look for any of these brilliant pokemon he heard of at the beginning.  

[DragonFang099]

Brian listened as Mustard spoke, congratulating them all on making it that far. When he started the countdown, the ebony-haired trainer thought about pulling out one of his Pokemon, but thought better of it when he saw some of the other teams with their heads together. He knew that they were probably planning to sabotage everyone right from the beginning, and seeing two different Grass-types out just confirmed that thought. Not pulling out any Pokemon sounded like a good idea right now, so he would wait until he was outside the area before sending one of his team out.

That being said, as soon as the gunshot went off, he smelled a rather sweet smell, and realized that one of the two Grass-types had used Sweet Scent. Knowing what the move did, and not wanting to risk getting caught in another Grass-type attack, he bolted from the building, wanting to get as far from the area as possible before he stopped, slightly out of breath. Once he was sure that he was relatively safe, he pulled out Sparx's Pokeball, and the Yamper wagged his tail as he looked at his trainer. "Alright, Sparx, let's see if we can't get us some Watts, shall we?" he said.

As Odd began to witness the various Snagems dashing off, he'd release Syn from it's ball and watch as the small Sinistea floated up to eye level, it's tiny pinky finger wiggling back and forth without him giving any directions to it. "You're not about to..." He asked, realizing how bad this could be just as quickly when the little Ghost-type's finger started to glow.

"No! No no no! Not here!" He'd grab the little teacup and start to run same as teammates had. He wouldn't get far, however, before the glowing finger came to a stop and, suddenly, the area was engulfed by a massive tornado as a Whirlwind was unleashed upon the gathered groups. Whether they had begun to quarrel or not, the Whirlwind would likely force those who weren't prepared to resist it to scatter across the island, Odd included.

The Channeler would find himself near the shore when he landed, though he wasn't sure exactly which one or what to expect from it. Where had the others even ended up after they ran off? He had a feeling he should be finding at least one of them.
