The Games
Each type of game can only be played once per day, and are available on each of the Sevii Islands. To play a game, use the RNG thread for your rolls and provide links in your post to the numbers you rolled.
Please be sure to only play one game per post!
Fishing:
There are little water filled glass bowls set up on long benches, each bowl with various tiny aquatic pokemon inside of them. These pokemon are tiny, about the size of a quarter, and bred specifically to be household pets, but here they serve the purpose of being cute and fun to play with. Armed with a small net consisting of paper tied to a small wooden pole, your task is to capture one of these pokemon before the paper net dissolves!
You have many choices of fish pokemon to try and capture. The heavier the fish is, the harder it will be to catch, but the more tickets you could get if you do catch it! So choose wisely!
Lightweight Catches:
Lightweight pokemon such as Finneon, Magikarp, Squirtle, and Horsea are much easier to catch with a frail paper net, but because of this, the payout isn't quite as high. It's much less risky than the other options though.
Roll a d4, if you roll a 1, your paper net broke, and you get 1 ticket as a consolation prize, but if you roll a 2-4, you've caught your pokemon and win 2 tickets!
Medium Weight Catches:
The medium weight category pokemon are slightly heavier than the lightweight pokemon, which means a paper net is more likely to break with this bunch. Medium weight aquatic pokemon would consist of pokemon including, but not limited to, Tirtouga, Whiscash, Huntail, and Frillish.
To try and scoop up one of these mini pokemon in your net, roll a d10. A roll of 1-6 means your net broke, but you get a consolation prize of 1 ticket. A 7-10 means you have successfully wrangled yourself up a tiny pokemon and earned yourself 5 tickets!
Heavy Weight Catches:
Don't be fooled by these pokemon's tiny appearances; they're heavy! Or at least they're heavier than a paper net can generally handle, but if you have the skills and a little bit of luck, you just might be able to handle scooping up some of these Octillery, Clamperl, or Mantyke to turn in for a whopping 10 tickets!
To attempt such a feat, roll a d6. Any numbers ranging between 1 and 4 means your net broke, but you still get a consolation prize of 1 ticket. If you happen to roll a 5 or a 6, you're in luck! You managed to catch these slightly heavier pokemon and can turn them in for your 10 ticket reward.
Wailmer Challenge:
Are you feeling lucky? Well this challenge is just for you! Wailmer are pretty heavy, even when they're small. It's near impossible to scoop them up in a paper net, but it can be done.
If you feel like you're willing and able to attempt this challenge, then roll a d20. Anything less than 20 gets you a broken net and one ticket as a consolation prize, but that's the risk, the reward for successfully rolling a 20 is a whopping 100 tickets!
Golden Magikarp Challenge:
Got bigger fish to fry than a Wailmer? Are you feeling like Lady Luck is blessing your every step? Does the chance at 1000 tickets catch your fancy? Well then this is the challenge for you! We have here a 20 karat solid gold Magikarp here for you to try and scoop out of a fishbowl with a paper net, but there's a catch!
You need to roll a d100, and happen to roll, that's right, a perfect 100. Getting anything less will earn you 1 measly ticket, but the reward for succeeding is 1000 tickets! Think you can do it? Give it a try!
Throwing Darts:
Try and pop as many balloons pinned to a wall with ten darts as you can!
Roll a 10 sided dice. The number you get is the number of balloons you pop!
1-3 is 2 tickets, 4-6 yields 4 tickets, and 7-10, 6 tickets!
Ring Toss:
Toss a ring and try to hoop it over a moomoo milk bottle! You only get three rings, so make them count!
Roll three 10 sided dice. A 6-10 means you successfully landed that ring over a bottle! 0-1 rings landed earns you 2 tickets, 2 rings earns you 5 tickets, and landing all 3 rings earns you a whopping 10 tickets!
Arcade Games:
Play an arcade game of your choice and try to get a high score! Roll a 20 sided dice to see what your score is! 1-5 means you scored pretty low, but the machine pities you by giving you 1 ticket as consolation. a 6-13 means you got an okay score, but it could have been better, the machine gives you 3 tickets for a good effort. 14-19 means you got a great score! You get 7 tickets. Rolling a 20 means you just set a new high score! The islanders are somewhat jealous of your master skills. Your prize is 10 tickets (and gloating rights).
Fortune Wheel:
Step right up and spin to win! Every number earns you tickets, but some numbers are luckier than others! Roll a 10 sided dice, the number you roll is the number of tickets you win!
An Overview of the Islands
One IslandArea Specific Items: Crystal Shard (50 posts), Pokemon Fossils (35 Posts), Roman Candle (35 posts)
One Island, also known as Knot Island, is the first island in the Sevii Islands archipelago, and is located northwest of all the islands. Knot Island is an isolated little place, and most of the younger people living on the island are eager to leave for big cities, but they certainly will be back for this Tanabata! The aroma of the islander's cooking wafts in from every direction it feels like, and even Bill is here visiting the Island's extensive Pokemon Center with his good friend Celio. One Island has certainly spared no expense for this years festival; islanders are raving, advertising, and encouraging visitors to be sure and stop by Treasure Beach by nightfall for a fantastic fireworks display! Treasure Beach is a small island south of the town, where valuable items, such as Big Pearls and Stardust, occasionally wash up.
There are of course plenty of games to keep you occupied in the meantime, and Mount Ember, ever the tourist attraction, is a fun area to explore and train while you wait. Mt. Ember is an enormous volcano at the very north tip of the island, but not to worry! The volcano has been inactive for quite some time now, and it is reachable via a path known as Kindle Road, which is popular for its hot springs. Although believed to be inactive, the tunnels beneath the volcano are still warm with geothermic energy that attracts Fire-type Pokémon and keeps these hot springs warm. The hot springs on Kindle Road can restore energy to Pokémon, but it's great for trainers too! In fact, it is said to be the secret to the islander's long vitality.
Two IslandArea Specific Items: Lava Cookie (10 Posts), Moomoo Milk (20 Posts), Specialized Pokeballs and Apricorn Pokeballs (5 Posts), Fresh Water (3 Posts), Soda Pop (5 Posts), Lemonade (10 Posts), Ragecandybar (50 Posts)
Two Island, otherwise known as Boon Island, is the second island in the Sevii Islands archipelago, located east of Knot Island, and west of Kin Island. Despite its size, there are many activities and important commerce that comes from this island. The town is a trading post for many foreign goods, and as such has a market stall that sells many goods from around the world, including Moomoo Milk, Ragecandybars, Lava Cookies, and certain types of pokeballs. Here islanders are best friends with their pokemon. It is not uncommon to see children jumping rope with their pokemon or Doduo and Dodrio with saddlebags, helping farmers harvest berries. There is also a small game corner here, which has currently been refurbished to host some of the Tanabata games and the ticket booth.
Leaving the urbanized part of Two Island by way of an uphill path in its northeast corner, you will come to a place known as Cape Brink, which hosts a small lake and cliffside overlooking One Island from a distance. This cape has a good view of Treasure Island and it's fireworks display at night as well. Don't worry; the Two Islanders wont tell if you pick their view over One Island's. From here, there is a small path that goes up the mountain, passing through some tall grass on the way.
The only thing at the top of this semi-isolated mountain is the home of a
Move Tutor who will teach a fully evolved starter Pokémon a move otherwise typically unavailable by any means other than a Big Mushroom. She is however an old woman, and so her services, while free, are only provided once per trainer. That is, if a trainer is brave enough to visit her. The locals all seem to be rather nervous about this woman...
The moves she will teach depends on the starter she is presented with. Fully evolved Grass Type Starters will learn the move Frenzy Plant, fully evolved Fire Type Starters will learn the move Blast Burn, and fully evolved Water Type Starters will be taught the move Hydro Cannon.
Please quote a mod if you have your trainer visit the old lady and have her teach one of your starter pokemon it's move, that way we can keep track of which characters have been taught.Three IslandArea Specific Items: Oran Berries (1 post), 10 Post Berries (5 posts), 15 Post Berries (10 posts), 20 Post Berries (10 posts), 30 Post Berries (20 posts), 50 Post Berries (25 posts), Big Mushroom (20 Posts)
Three Island is also known as Kin Island, located east of Two Island, and is the third island in the Sevii Islands archipelago. It is so called because it consists of a larger island (the "parent" island), connected by a bridge to a smaller island (the "child" island). Kin Island, like most of the other Sevii Islands, has a small town on it, but it is the most populous town of the seven. On the west side of Kin Island is the Bond Bridge, which is a large area located in the middle of Kin Island. It acts as a bond between the "parent" and "child" islands, and thus serves as a pathway to get across to Berry Forest. This forest contains trees that grow Berries in profusion, and serves as Three Island's main commerce.
Children are cautioned against playing in the Berry Forest however, as wild Hypno inside the forest have been known to use Hypnosis on children and lead them astray.
Three island has a special tree in the middle of berry forest, it is the largest tree in the entire forest, and every year for Tanabata, tourists and islanders alike go to hang their wishes on slips of paper among this tree's branches, in hopes that they will be granted by Jirachi. Colorful strips of paper decorate the tree all over, but beware, and do not touch them. It is said that if a curious person attempts to take a slip of paper off of the tree and read it, they will be cursed for 20 years.
Four IslandArea Specific Items: Nevermeltice (10 Posts), Ice Gem (10 Posts), Icicle Plate (30 Posts)
Four Island, also known as Floe Island, is the fourth and smallest island in the Sevii Islands archipelago. It is south of Knot Island, and west of Chrono Island.
The town of Four Island is also the hometown of Lorelei of the Kanto Elite Four. It is here that she was first taught about Pokémon when she was just a young girl. Lorelei still resides in the town, and her house has a large collection of Pokémon dolls she has collected.
While the Sevii Islands are mostly tropical, there is one exception - a cave on Floe Island. The cave is on the northeast section of the island past a small lake. It is freezing inside the cave, due to the high population of Ice-type Pokémon that live there. For this reason, it is known as Icefall Cave. Nevermeltice can be found in this cave, and the islanders use the ice from this cave to make several tasty icy treats to serve during festivals like this Tanabata.
Floe Island is also host to a very
large Pokémon Day Care run by an elderly couple. Trainers can drop off their pokemon here, and the Day Care Couple will watch after a Trainer's Pokémon and raise their levels.
Unlike the Pokemon Day Care hub in the guild, Pokemon left here
do not need to be RPed. Instead, they will automatically earn
10 exp every 24 hours they are left at the daycare. However, there can only be a max of
two pokemon left at the daycare per trainer, due to the large influx of tourists here for the Tanabata and a limited amount of space at the Daycare. When your trainer drops off a pokemon,
please quote a mod, and they will add your pokemon to the list of pokemon at the daycare and mark what time they were left, this way we can keep track of how much EXP your pokemon has earned.
Similarly,
when you would like to pick up your pokemon, please quote a mod as well so that we can post for the daycare lady returning your pokemon to your trainer, adding the exp based on the timestamp and presenting the pokemon with it's new level and exp counter.
If, while at the daycare, your pokemon leveled up and would have gained a new move that you would like it to have, you may add it to your pokemon's moveset when it is returned to you.
Five IslandArea Specific Items: Rare Candy (35 Posts), Max Potion (30 Posts)
Five Island, or Chrono Island, is the fifth island in the Sevii Islands archipelago, laying south of Kin Island, and east of Floe Island. It would seem that the island is expanding in population lately, although this has caused the fish population to drop. East of the port is Five Isle Meadow, a field owned by a local family throughout generations. In the center of this field is an abandoned warehouse, an odd sight. Locals refuse to talk about it or acknowledge it's existence, the few that do talk about it however simply state that it remains there as a reminder, and leave it at that.
West of the port is the Water Labyrinth, a series of fast flowing rapids. Every now and again, five islanders hold a race across the rapids. Tourists are free to ride the rapids after fair warning of the potential dangers of traversing the fast flowing water maze. Off the coast of tow is the Lost Cave. Thrill-seekers enter it full of curiosity, but many never leave. The cave is a confusing maze that loops back onto itself, which unfortunately often causes lots of eager trainers to become hopelessly lost.
The very south tip of the island is home to the Memorial Pillar, where a young man has built a gravesite for his deceased Onix, Tectonix. The grave itself appears to be the tail of the Rock Snake Pokémon, emerging from the small islet. He will be grateful to Trainers who
leave offerings of his Onix's favorite beverage—Lemonade, and will reward each trainer once with a TM of their choice.North of the local town is
Resort Gorgeous, owned by Lady Selphy, a rich socialite who likes to go exploring in the Lost Cave. Selphy invites artists and other high-class people to private parties on the island, and has a keen interest for seeing different kinds of pokemon.
Every day, she will ask for a different, random pokemon, and the first trainer to show her this pokemon will be given a gift. Lady Selphy is a very rich woman, with many items in her possession, if a trainer successfully brings her the pokemon she wants to see, she will reward them with a level 10 first stage pokemon of choice, or any item she is asked for, with the exception of Megastones, Balm Mushrooms, and Legendary Summon Items, as these items are so rare and coveted that she will not give them up. The Pokemon Lady Selphy is Asking to See Today Is: ....
Six IslandArea Specific Items: Elemental Plates (30 Posts), Pokemon Fossils (35 Posts)
Fortune Island is the alternate name of Six Island, the sixth island in the Sevii Islands archipelago, south of Chrono Island and east of Quest Island.
The island has a small town, where many say that the view of the stars is amazing, away from the bright city lights of more populated regions such as Kanto.
East of the island's port is the Water Path, a small arc of land next to the seaside. The westernmost side of the Water Path leads through an area known as Pattern Bush, where many Bug Pokémon call home. Some believe that there are secrets in the patterns made in the grass. After passing through here, Trainers arrive at the Green Path, a short trail leading to Outcast Island.
Of note in Outcast Island is Altering Cave, a location whose name may possibly be centuries old. As it has had its name since days long past, many do not know the reason why it was named as it was.
If travelers head southbound on Water Path instead of northbound when they exit the town, they will soon arrive at Ruin Valley. At the center of the valley is the Dotted Hole, a mysterious, recently discovered ruin from an ancient time. The discoverers named it such because when they found it, there were six dots on its door.
Seven Island Area Specific Items: Pokemon Fossils (35 Posts), Odd Keystone (20 Posts)
Quest Island is the seventh island in the Sevii Islands archipelago, south of Floe Island and west of Fortune Island. Like the other Sevii Islands, this island has a town on it, however, also like the other islands, this town is small compared to the island's explorable area. Quest Island does not have as many inhabitants as the other Sevii Islands. It has been left virtually untouched in its natural state and is difficult to hike across.
North of the port is Trainer Tower, and the sign outside of it proclaims "Rise to the Challenge, Trainers!" Trainers from all over come to battle others in the eight floors of the tower as fast as they can. It is unlike normal Battle Towers as items may be used during battle and players may run down the stairs to the first-floor Pokémon Center to heal their Pokémon, however the tower is not currently being run under it's normal conditions.
Instead, trainers visiting the Sevii Islands are
welcome to come to the Battle Tower and battle each other for full experience gain. Please note that there is a level cap of 50, so any pokemon above that cap will be reduced to 50 if used to battle in the battle tower. Trainers also
cannot battle the same opponent more than once per week, experience is gained every time an opponent pokemon is KOed, the and the experience gained from defeating that pokemon is split between all the pokemon who helped battle against it.
Please quote a mod when the battle starts so we can "referee" the battle and make sure the rules are being followed.
South of the port and across a bridge is the entrance to Sevault Canyon, which contains small cave called the Tanoby Key. Tanoby key has several odd puzzles, and is said to somehow be the "key" to a secret that lays within the Tanoby Ruins, which reside at the southern end of Quest Island. The Tanoby Ruins are a series of seven small islands containing strange chambers with an odd language written on the walls, similar to the Ruins of Alph in Johto. Could these two places be connected somehow?
