The Battle Tower: Liaison in Larousse
Overview: You are a young upstart Trainer and so far life has been going good. You have a few Badges under your belt and most of your Poke-roster has reached their final evolutions or are about to. Wanting a break from your journey and to forget about the hassle of your journey, you decide to take a train to Larousse City and enjoy the sights and sounds of the high-tech metropolis.
Forget that. When you arrive, you head to a nearby Starmiebucks only for a Secret Service rejectee to call you to the office of Mayor Lund. Lund explains to you that a terrorist organisation called Necro Shadow and they have been terrorising Trainers everywhere, forcing them to surrender their Pokemon and Battle Keys. Lund explains about the Larousse Tournament at the Battle Tower and that in order to enter, a Trainer must first collect the four Battle Keys from the North, South, West and East Ends of the city; Tactics, Skill, Wisdom and Determination respectively. Once that happens, you are licensed to enter the Battle Tower tourney. It occurs every year and thousands of Trainers gather from all different regions to claim the top prize: the Larousse Tower Trophy.
The problem is that Necro Shadow appear to want something at the Tower and it's your job to find out. No-one knows if they want the title or something underneath the Tower but whatever they want, they're certainly ruthless about it. Trainers are losing their Keys and Prize Pokemon everywhere and you've got to stop it. You need to win the four Keys and get as far as you can up the Tower and find out what Necro Shadow want there. To do so, you must compete in miniature battles for the Key and then head to Larousse Square for the Tower. Be warned, the Necro Hunters are out for them as well, so take them down while you can. It's all up to you...
Summary:
Due to the untimely departure of The Great Butler, I am restarting the sign-ups. I've edited the rules slightly however and the sign-up form. You are one of several skilled Trainers chosen by Lund in order to nail Necro Shadow and put a stop on whatever it is they want from the Battle Tower. This year is the annual Larousse Tower Tourney so it makes an excellent cover to find out what they want. You have been commissioned as a flaneur; an operative who uses a disguise to gain information. You have two goals: 1) Work your way up to the top floor and earn the title Tower Champion; or 2) Work with the Larousse Elite and halt their plans underground. Don't worry if you lose in a battle, as you won't be out that easily. Rather, you'll be working behind the scenes to help out as well, so everyone gets a fair shot in this RPG. That way, if you enjoy participating, then the experience doesn't have to end just because your battles do. You'll need to hold on as this story is going to twist and turn like a rollercoaster. But you need not worry yet as for now, your goal is clear: the Tower Trophy and the Tower Champ title!

Things To Know
1. If a Pokemon can learn a move, then you may use it.
2. Pokemon from all regions can be used, even Shinou; for the latter, however, use Japanese names. They can be Romanized but I need proof (I'll check on Bulbagarden so don't think I'm not prepared).
3. Maximum 2 Shinies in a team of 6 and 1 in a team of 4.
4. Post frequently, but don't go overboard.
5. Posts need to be long, but a short post, provided it has good information, can be allowed.
6. Standard RPG rules still apply.
Earning Keys
There are four Key Keepers, like Gym Leaders, who you need to earn your Key from. When in a battle with a Keeper, make the post descriptive as you can; what their Pokemon look like, the attacks they use, everything. Think of it like writing a fan fiction; make it descriptive enough to keep the readers' attention. Here are the four Key Keepers:
1) Syrus
Location: North Town
Key Given: Magnet Tactics Key
Rules: Three Pokemon each; the challenger can switch around Pokemon while the Keeper cannot.
Title: Polaris Pulverizer
Description: Syrus is unusually short for his age (a subject he's very picky on) and tries to hide this by using magnetic boots that increase in size whenever he activates the current. His hair is sky-blue, and is typically a crew-cut; that way, there's less chance of a staticky afro. His attire consists of a yellow jacket with magnets on the blue sleeves and light blue jeans with blue-and-yellow sneakers.
Personality: As mentioned above, Syrus is sensitive about his height problem and hates it when people use the word 'little' or 'short' in their sentences. If he does, he gets very angry. A gifted youth, Syrus always sets his sights on the big obstacles, like his height problem, and always manages to think up a solution.
Pokemon:
1) Magnum-Jibacoil (Magneton evo)
2) Sigma-Female Plusle
3) Omega-Male Minun
2) Rena
Location: South Town
Key Given: Spider Skill Key
Rules: Three Pokemon each; battle starts off as single battle for two minutes, before upgrading into a double battle, where the Trainer and Keeper send out a second Pokemon.
Title: Insect Princess
Description: Rena is tall (this is heightened by her stilletto heeled shoes) and thin, and typically wears a red evening dress with a spider-over-web design on the front, just below the chest; it serves to hold together the seperate ends of the dress. Her dark-green hair is kept long over her back and the only decoration is another spider ornament. Her earrings are golden spider webs hanging from what looks like a silver teardrop.
Personality: Rena is a confident Keeper and utilises her Bug-types to be used as annoyers. Her favourite strategy is using Spider Web to stop her enemies from retreating and then poisoning them with Toxic. All for the sweet pleasure of watching her opponents suffer. Sadist by nature, Rena always sets up her strategies in advance to trap her opponents and then watch them struggle. If they do manage to win, she is graceful in defeat.
Pokemon:
1) Female Beequeen
2) Male Ariados
3) Male Beedrill
3) Beka
Location: West City
Key Given: Draconic Wisdom Key
Rules: Four-on-four single battle; all Trainers must call out their Pokemon when the battle begins and send them out one at a time; Trainer can decide whether to switch modes from single to double.
Title: Lady Dragoon
Description: Beka is of average height and wears a dragon themed attire; mostly a set of greens and reds. More specifically, an emerald jacket over her thin build, itself covered by a scarlet shirt and green jeans with yellow Rayquaza markings on the legs. Her hair is a mixture of fiery-reds and blonds and is tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. She stores her Pokemon in golden wrist gauntlets shaped like Rayquaza's head, two on each arm.
Personality: A very hot-headed Trainer, Beka battles with a combination of raw power and speedy strikes in an attempt to severely lower her opponent's stamina. One of her favourite combos involves the Endure & Flail combo as a way of finishing off the opponent, despite the fact that her Pokemon will be low on health too. Beka is a strong battler, and battles only to improve herself and to face new challenges.
Pokemon:
1) Male Flygon, Furai
2) Female Milotic, Izumi
3) Female Dragonair, Hikari
4) Male Salamence, Sorro
4) Aster
Location: East City
Key Given: Elemental Determination Key
Rules: Five-on-five battle; starts off as a double battle, before going into a three-on-three single battle; challenger is the only one who can switch Pokemon.
Title: Elemental Champion
Description: Aster is typically tall and thin, but tries to hide this by dressing in sharp clothing; namely a silver-and-black suit with a black shirt underneath and a tie with five images on it; wing in top left, flame in top right, water drop in bottom left, cracked earth in bottom right and thunder bolt in center. His hair is a dark crimson and is cut short, and he wears underneath a pair of blue denim jeans and dark slip-on shoes.
Personality: Aster, by nature, is a cool and collected Trainer, and it isn't easy to really get on his nerves; when you do, however, you'll regret it as he really flips out, even frightening the Pokemon. If you think it's all just to get him to make mistakes, that doesn't happen as often as you'd think. His mind is on the battle on all times, even if it does slip away from time to time. Aster is one of the Larousse Elite and serves as Lund's second in command.
Pokemon:
1) Male Mukkuhawk, Avian
2) Female Ninetales, Burstfire
3) Male Floatsel, Tsunami
4) Male Steelix, Metallico
5) Male Rentrorer, Dynamo
Rules
1. No Legendaries what so ever. If you have one, even if it's befriended, I don't care. You will be rejected.
2. You cannot have a team full of uber-Pokemon e.g Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur, Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence. I will only accept two maximum.
3. If you are unsure about your team, I will point out where you went wrong.
4. If you want to have multiple starters, you can only have two maximum and they have to be from different regions.
5. No battles where you knock out all your opponent's Pokemon with one Pokemon, and only with one move. If you do that, I will disqualify you.
6. I don't understand 1337 speak or chat room tongue, so proper English in sign-ups.
7. Do not bash, flame or insult other members who sign up. Do so, and you'll be taken down.
8. If you need to do some Bunnying, then you need permission from the member who created the character and it cannot be out of character. If I get a PM from the member saying you stole the character, or if the character is performing OOC, you're off the list.
9. Nothing cliched like "parents died" or "can't remember past", or if your character seems to be invincible and perfect, rejection will follow.
10. If I feel you have not put enough effort into your character, you will be rejected.
11. I will only give you two chances; waste both and you cannot compete.
12. You can reserve a place but you must sign up within five days; if you think you will be unable to access a computer during the five days, please state so in your post.
13. No Godmodding; if you manipuate the RPG for your own desires, you will be disqualified.
14. I will inform you the results of the battle via PM and these will be judged fairly. I will not pick favourites.
15. I will only select the twelve best, so put some effort into sign-ups.
