[Council of Villains] Mewtwo's Retribution [Concluded]
The sun was setting in Cerulean City. It had been a beautiful summer day. The air was warm, and the sky shaded with yellows and oranges and pinks, the same colors bouncing off the sparse clouds and creating a beautiful mosaic. Light sparkled off of the clear, blue water that surrounded the town.
Such a day was typical of Cerulean City. But this was not any typical day. On a small island slightly downstream, the mysterious Cerulean Cave was surrounded by a foreboding atmosphere. Since the sun was setting behind its only entrance, one could scarcely see three feet into the dark, dank cavern.
Off in the distance, a silhouetted figure approached the cave from the sky. It was moving quickly, and as it came closer and closer, it was visibly larger than a man. Soon enough, the large, winged creature landed just outside the cave, gracefully enough that one who was not listening might not have heard it. Off of its back jumped a smaller, human figure. The human held up a ball, and with a pulse of red light, the creature disintegrated, returning with the light back into the ball.
The trainer reached into a pack, pulling out a folded up letter. After glancing at the cave entrance, the trainer looked down at the letter and re-read it:
Quote:
Dear Trainer,
After much consideration on your skill, record, and reputation, you have been determined to be one of the most powerful trainers in the entire world. We have selected you, along with sixteen other qualified master trainers, to compete in the Pokemon World Championship Tournament. The winner will be crowned the World Champion, and be recognized as the most powerful Pokemon trainer in the world.
The tournament is being held at a brand new stadium built in the depths of Cerulean Cave, long known for the frighteningly powerful Pokemon that live within. Getting to the bottom will be a test of your strength and resolve, and when you arrive you will have proved yourself worthy to compete.
The structure of the tournament is unorthodox, and designed to test a trainer’s skill and ingenuity both on and off the battlefield. Trainers are encouraged to bring a full team of six Pokemon to Cerulean Cave. Once at the bottom, however, the trainer must select only three to compete, and the rest will be confiscated until the end of the tournament. It is therefore important that the team chosen be balanced and able to handle all kinds of opponents.
Instead of a bracket structure, trainers will vote to decide who among them will battle every day. The two trainers with the most votes total will be chosen to duel. Trainers will battle until all of their Pokemon faint. No substitutions are to be made between rounds, and Pokemon that faint during duels are not to be revived or used again until the end of the tournament. If a trainer loses all three of his team, than that trainer is considered eliminated and his/her vote removed.
As a last resort, if the trainer is determined to be playing unfairly, a unanimous vote on that trainer (excluding the trainer’s own vote) will remove that trainer from the competition without a battle.
Please make your way to Cerulean Cave by the first of April for the start of the tournament. Remember, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The World Championship title is granted for life, and it is unlikely that you will be able to participate in another competition of this caliber during your lifetime.
Regards,
There was space for a signature at the bottom of the page, but it was left blank, probably as a mistake. The return address was for Cerulean Cave, but there was no name given there, either.
The trainer folded up the letter and put it away. After checking to make sure six Pokeballs hung around the belt, the trainer looked up toward the ominous cave, and began walking towards it. When the trainer stood directly in the entrance, staring into the darkness, suddenly a pair of glowing eyes stared back.
The trainer tried to reach for a Pokeball, but felt a strange force preventing any movement. A deep voice spoke, not through the air, but directly into the trainer’s brain.
“Welcome. You just happen to be the first one to arrive. I’m glad it was you… yes, I’m sure that you will work quite nicely.”
Out of the darkness stretched an otherworldly hand. It was a pale, purplish color and had only three spherical digits on its end. The hand crunched itself into a fist, and the trainer felt an excruciating pain, and yet could not scream because of the force holding the trainer’s muscles tight. The trainer blacked out.

Mewtwo's Retribution
This is a game with something of a unique set-up, much of which will be unknown to the players throughout the game. The rules are mostly explained in the opening write-up above. Private communications are allowed, reveals are allowed, screenshots are not- basically, standard rules apply. There is not much that can be done to break the game, as the set-up, though unique, is also simple.
You don't need to be familiar with the Pokemon games to play this, but it is certainly helpful. For those less knowledgeable on the series, bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net is an excellent source of information, and I will provide essential links myself in the role PMs.
I'm looking for 17 sign-ups. This can be a very fun, interactive game if everyone participates. It is both mafia and a competition.

Welcome to the Gameroom, Saregona. If you're new to mafia, I suggest checking out the FAQ in the sticky links.
As for Kyurem... unfortunately for Fluffy, I had this game all designed before Gen V came around, and so there are only characters from the first four generations in this game. Not to mention I don't have enough space for characters to fit them in!

Re: [Council of Villains] Mewtwo's Retribution [Sign-Ups]

Whew, just in time! I'd like to be in! I'm not avid Pokemon fan, but I've played for Red about half way to completion. :bucktooth: Also, it has been quite some time since I've played a Mafia game on this forum. I'll do my best to be up to speed on things by Thursday. Yay!
