The Legend Run
The Legend Run is a chance to battle your way to a legendary location and take on its master. This might sound familiar but the rules are different. The Pokémon is at its normal strength and you only get to bring one to four Pokémon to face it. Sounds easy? Do not be fooled.
In order to reach these rare legends, you will have to travel through treacherous terrain and face Guardian Pokémon. At the end the end of your journey, you will need to be prepared because you will have to catch your opponent the hard way through a tricky battle and with plenty of Poké Balls.
The Legend Run Basics:
Every Pokémon encountered in The Legend Run can be captured. If you capture a Pokémon, it can then be used on The Legend Run against foes and kept in reserve. When you capture the Pokémon, you will be given a Pokemon summary for your use in the rest of the dungeon. You may have a maximum of six Pokémon with you on any Legend Run. You can bring fewer Pokémon and capture more or you can bring the maximum three or four Pokémon and capture until you reach six. If you capture a Pokémon after a 6th, it will go to a sort of limbo where it is claimed after the end of the dungeon.
In The Legend Run, all combat - barring Rare Encounters and the Trap Phase of Trap Encounters - is Switch = OK (The player must order first to switch out), All Abilities and with a maximum of one Mega Evolution. Most TLR Combat is Triples-Style, unless stated otherwise, with two actions per Pokémon per round. If a move has a different effect depending on the switch method, the Pokémon using said move can choose to apply either the Switch = OK effect or the Switch = KO effect, but not both simultaneously (if not specified, the Switch = OK effect is applied). Both Trainer and Wild Pokemon have access to combinations as well as two Substitutions per round. Infinite Chills and Recovery are allowed, however they can only be used in battles. Your Pokémon may each bring a single Hold Item with you and a player can also bring a backpack filled with other goods purchased before you begin your run.
TLR has three Difficulties: Training, Legendary and Uber.
Legendary Capture Rates:
In order to standardise challenges, all Legendaries will have a fixed Capture HP of 297.
Game-play Flow:
The Legend Run has a general flow:
Introductory Roleplay
Exploration Roleplay I
Guardian Combat
Exploration Roleplay II
Boss Combat
All Encounters have two combination timers: one for combinations involving status moves and one involving two damaging moves. Neither side can use combinations until the start of the designated round. Unless specified, the timer is 1 (Status), 1 (Damaging) for Training and Legendary difficulty encounters, and 2 (Status), 3 (Damaging) for Uber difficulty TLR's.
Rewards:
As each battle in The Legend Run is commensurate with a regular ASB Battle—1 EC, 2 MC, 1 AC or 3 MC—and the standard amount of CC for each battle will be rewarded in each battle during the course of the challenge. The only difference in these battles tends to be turn order. Trap Battles operate slightly differently, with full EC/MC/AC for the Pokémon trapped in combat and 1 MC for the Pokémon that join after one/two rounds.
The items Exp Share, Amulet Coin, Lucky Egg, and Heart Scale are banned and will have no effect in a TLR. CC bonuses for a full movepool will only be applied at large (Guardian or Boss) battles. The natural growth from all the battles is already well worth it, considering that most battles have the enemy outmatched and outnumbered. This serves to not accelerate an already fast rate of gain.
You will also keep any items you find and of course, you can keep any Pokémon captured even if you ultimately fail to KO or Capture the boss. Certain items will have to be sold at the end of a run but during the run and in the wrap-up, they can be used if applicable.
The Legend Run Shops

The Legend Run Pokeball Shop:
Poké Balls can also be purchased—or found within TLR's—and Master Balls are also a possible Tournament Prize. Poké Balls are sold in bundles of four (4) but you do not need to bring them with you in multiples of four.
Like Berries and other items purchased in bundles, Poké Balls must be sold in batches of four. Poké Balls, like all other items, sell for half their CC value. A Master Ball cannot be sold.
Backpacks
Backpack Purpose:
Backpacks can carry various synthetic healing items but they have limited space and only a few pockets tailor-made for certain items. Backpacks do however have enough space for almost any item you might encounter along the way. Backpack sizes vary based on Dungeon difficulty. You can only bring Purchased TLR Shop Items and a Hold Item for each of your Pokémon to a TLR, unless you have won additional items (such as those listed as Non-Purchasable healing items) through Tournaments or the Gym League. If this is the case, then you may bring these items within the Spare Pocket.
In addition to the pockets listed, there is an infinite space for a trainer to store Poké Balls (Which can be purchased and taken into the dungeon from the beginning), an infinite pocket for Battle Items (Of which you can only bring one per team member), and an infinite pocket for Berries and Herbs (Which you cannot bring in, unless you bring it in as a battle item when you begin).
Backpack Sizes:
Backpacks have two limitations for players to factor. The first is Size. For example, a Training TLR Backpack cannot contain more than two Potions to start, no matter how hard you try. The other limitation is CC Cost. The combined cost of all items you bring with you cannot exceed the difficulty limit (This excludes Held Items). For Poké Balls purchased in bundles, the CC Cost they each individually contribute to a Backpack is equal to the cost to buy four of that kind of Poké Ball, divided by 4. So if you wish to bring two Ultra Balls with you, that would count as 2 CC towards your CC Cost Limit.
Master Balls—which are not purchasable—do not influence the CC Cost Limit in any way. Master Balls are stored in the Poké Ball pocket so in theory, you can bring as many as you like with you.
Non-Purchasable healing items do not contribute to the CC Limit but they do take up a slot in the Spare Pocket, so the amount you can bring is limited.
Pokémon Capture:
Capture HP:
Rather than relying on a chance-based system, ASB Capture Mechanics use a system called Capture HP—which is a stat all Pokemon have—found in the NDA. It is equal to 300 minus the in-game capture rate of the given Pokémon. Capture HP is damaged by Poké Balls and when it reaches zero or less, the Pokémon in question is captured.
Capture Round:
A Player can declare a capture round whenever they would issue orders instead. Within a Capture Round, the trainer throws one or more Poké Balls at the target. If a capture fails to reduce the target's CHP to 0, the targeted Pokémon breaks free and uses a Chill, increasing their energy by 12. If the Pokémon gets back to 100 Energy, they will have a free round to Attack your Pokémon. Rounds do not pass and end of action/round effects do not occur during a Capture Round with the exception of the free round.
On Items
During TLR, you can use items at any time during your run. There are two different modes for this: Items outside of combat, and Items during combat.
Outside of Combat
Players can use items except for Poké Balls, swap hold items, and toss items away at any time outside of TLR combat. The player can do an unlimited amount of these actions during a non-combat update and have the highest priority, occurring before the outcome of an update.
During Combat
During the middle of combat, with the exception of a trapping phase, the player can either initiate a Capture Phase by throwing Poké Balls or use a consumable item. The capture phase is mentioned elsewhere so only the latter will be explained in detail here.
During combat, the player can forfeit one of their Pokémon's actions to use one item on any Pokémon in their party, active, reserve, or fainted, as a command:
Save Games
Mechanics:
Saves are automatic as soon as you pass a given point in any TLR. If a player fails to succeed in a TLR, whether that be by being KOed or by KOing the Boss, then they may revert back to any previous save point between where they failed and where their run last started. When you use a save point, you effectively restart the TLR from that point with all Rewards (Excluding Ref Payment), Pokémon stats, and Backpack set to that point. Any counters obtained, Items obtained, and Pokémon caught between the save point and where you reset from are discarded and cannot be claimed unless obtained again. A particular Save Point can only be used once per run and if at a point in a run the player is KOed and has no Save Point to go to, then their run ends. A player can also choose to not use a Save Point if they wish to modify their team regardless.
As mentioned above, you may only revert to a checkpoint between your last starting point the point where your run would have ended. This means that if you go past the Lackey Save Point (for example) and the Guardian Save Point in your run before being KOed, if you revert to the Guardian Save Point then you will not be able to revert to the Lackey Save Point later on. However, if you were to revert to the Lackey Save Point and pass by the Guardian Save Point again, then you would be able to revert to the Guardian Save Point.
Save Point Locations:
Training Difficulty
Training Level TLR's will have a single save point, located immediately after the Guardian Battle.
Legendary Difficulty
Legendary Difficulty TLR's will have two save points - one immediately before the Guardian battle and one immediately after the Guardian battle.
Uber Difficulty
Uber Difficulty TLR's will have three save points - one located immediately before the Guardian battle, one immediately after the Guardian battle and one located immediately before the boss fight.

Seeking Referees for The Legend Run.
We cannot run this alone, so we are accepting Referees for The Legend Run. To apply to become a TLR referee, PM Dogfish44 with some qualifications and we will consider you. If we think you are good enough, we will test you in refereeing a Training Difficulty TLR. If you are good enough, we will let you become a fully fledged referee. There are a few things we expect of you:
1. You must be an able battler, since you will effectively be the AI for the wild Pokemon. You get two substitutions against each team throughout the challenger's entire run, from the Lackeys to the Boss. By the same extension, please shy away from using "dick moves" such as Explosion and Toxic. These are cheap strategies that will earn you zero respect from anyone and are frowned upon massively. In the majority of situations there will be a superior strategy to use anyway.
3. You will need to post the profiles of the Pokémon the challenger faces as they face them.
4. For your own sanity, we expect you to also keep track of the player's backpack and rewards. In the case that you do need to call for a sub-referee, it will make things easier for them to figure out what is going on.
5. Show no mercy!

Your Pokémon may each bring a single Hold Item with you and a player can also bring a backpack filled with other goods purchased before you begin your run.
TLR has three Difficulties: Training, Legendary and Uber.
- Training Difficulty TLR's tend to be the easiest and shortest TLR's. As a result, these TLR's also have the smallest backpacks. You can bring up to three Pokémon with you.
- Legendary Difficulty TLR's are average and allow a larger Backpack. These TLR's are average in length and you can bring up to three Pokémon with you.
- Uber Difficulty TLR's are of the highest difficulty and allow the largest backpacks. These TLR's tend to be longer than most and require utmost skill to succeed. You can bring up to four Pokémon with you.
Legendary Capture Rates:
In order to standardise challenges, all Legendaries will have a fixed Capture HP of 297.
Game-play Flow:
The Legend Run has a general flow:
Introductory Roleplay
Exploration Roleplay I
Guardian Combat
Exploration Roleplay II
Boss Combat
The omniscient narrator will provide you a description of the general area for you to explore. This will be the last point where you can cancel a challenge and will lead either to Lackey Combat or Exploration Roleplay.
Lackey Combat will progress like a normal battle with alternating actions between the Lackeys and the Player. Lackey areas and generalised and usually allow for any move to be used. Lackeys are generally very basic enemies and are jumpy and untrained, so they will always attack first in the first round. Lackey Combat does not feature in Training Level TLRs.
Summary:
Lackeys will attack first, then alternate.
Lackeys tend to have arenas where all moves are available.
Summary:
Lackeys will attack first, then alternate.
Lackeys tend to have arenas where all moves are available.
Guardian Combat is more nuanced than Lackey Combat. Guardians stake out a choke point in an area and have made it their own, giving themselves a specialised Arena to fight in. This Arena often provides the Guardian with advantages even if they are low in number. Attacks will still be alternated between the Guardians. As the Guardian has staked out a defensive position, however, they will always attack second in the initial round. Guardian Combat is often considered to be one of the more challenging aspects of many TLRs.
Summary:
Guardians will always attack second, then alternate.
Guardians have Arenas that tend to be helpful to them.
Summary:

Guardians have Arenas that tend to be helpful to them.
Boss Combat is the most difficult. Not only are the bosses Pokémon of legendary prowess but their intimidating nature and caution means they attack second in every round. They also have Arenas that provide them advantages and the most important point of all? Like all other battles in The Legend Run, they have reactive, referee controlled AI. Whether alone or together, never underestimate these bosses. Moreover, Bosses have either one or two Guardian Pokémon that will act like their counterparts. A Boss will always act second but every second round, you will get to see the Guardian's selected commands.
In most cases once you capture or defeat a boss, your Legend Run ends and you reap the rewards you worked so hard to get.
Summary:
Boss will always attack second, Guardian will alternate, starting by moving second.
Bosses have their own arenas generally constructed to help that boss.

Exploration RP's are sections in which Roleplay occurs. This can include ways for your Pokémon to take damage, items littered around from adventurers past, or wild Pokemon who may trap and enter combat against your own Pokémon. There are four main types of battle that can occur during such a Roleplay, including Trap Combat, Nest Combat, Horde Combat and Rare Encounters.
Often you will encounter Trap Pokémon. These Pokémon whisk away at least one of your Pokémon on predictable criteria and force them into two rounds of Singles Combat (Unless stated otherwise). Additionally they often do minor damage in springing that trap and utilise a non-damaging setup move. Trap Pokémon have movepools as strong as Guardians and are sometimes the biggest threat to your team. A bad trap matchup can potentially ruin your chance at winning The Legend Run. Thanks to their predatory nature, they will usually rush in for the kill and attack first in the first round.
Summary:
Trap Pokémon seal off one of your Pokemon for two rounds of Singles Combat before your team can regroup unless specified otherwise. During this time-frame, combat is Switch = KO.
Cannot Catch Trap Pokémon during Singles Combat.
Trap Pokemon will attack first, then alternate.
Trap Pokemon usually battle in arenas without restrictions.
If the Trap Pokémon uses a move before the battle starts, it does not count for the purposes of Encore, Disable, Torment, and the like.

Occasionally you will run into Nests of Pokémon. These Pokemon are some of the least developed of any opponent in The Legend Run but you have to face two or three of them at a time. Nest Pokémon are inexperienced so they will rush in and attack first.
Summary:
Nest Pokemon attack first, then alternate.
Next Pokemon usually battle in arenas without restrictions.

Horde Pokémon are substantially weaker than all other Pokemon you will encounter, dealing only half damage with their attacks and only having half their usual HP. Most horde encounters have power in numbers, however, normally taking a 5v3 or 5v1 format. Like Nest Pokémon, Horde Pokémon are inexperienced and simply rush head first into their problems.
Summary:
Horde Pokemon attack first, then alternate.
Horde Pokemon usually battle in arenas without restrictions.
Horde Pokemon deal 50% Damage from their attacks
Horde Pokemon have 50% of the Max HP Value for a member of their species.

Occasionally you will run into a Rare Encounter. Rare Encounters essentially seal off your Pokémon like traps, however you can choose one of your Pokémon to go after them. Rare Encounters will use Singles Combat for the entirety of the match and can be captured during singles combat.

Unless specified, the timer is 1 (Status), 1 (Damaging) for Training and Legendary difficulty encounters, and 2 (Status), 3 (Damaging) for Uber difficulty TLR's.
Rewards:
As each battle in The Legend Run is commensurate with a regular ASB Battle—1 EC, 2 MC, 1 AC or 3 MC—and the standard amount of CC for each battle will be rewarded in each battle during the course of the challenge.

The natural growth from all the battles is already well worth it, considering that most battles have the enemy outmatched and outnumbered. This serves to not accelerate an already fast rate of gain.
You will also keep any items you find and of course, you can keep any Pokémon captured even if you ultimately fail to KO or Capture the boss. Certain items will have to be sold at the end of a run but during the run and in the wrap-up, they can be used if applicable.

Backpacks
Backpack Purpose:
Backpacks can carry various synthetic healing items but they have limited space and only a few pockets tailor-made for certain items. Backpacks do however have enough space for almost any item you might encounter along the way. Backpack sizes vary based on Dungeon difficulty. You can only bring Purchased TLR Shop Items and a Hold Item for each of your Pokémon to a TLR, unless you have won additional items (such as those listed as Non-Purchasable healing items) through Tournaments or the Gym League. If this is the case, then you may bring these items within the Spare Pocket.
In addition to the pockets listed, there is an infinite space for a trainer to store Poké Balls (Which can be purchased and taken into the dungeon from the beginning), an infinite pocket for Battle Items (Of which you can only bring one per team member), and an infinite pocket for Berries and Herbs (Which you cannot bring in, unless you bring it in as a battle item when you begin).

Backpacks have two limitations for players to factor. The first is Size. For example, a Training TLR Backpack cannot contain more than two Potions to start, no matter how hard you try. The other limitation is CC Cost. The combined cost of all items you bring with you cannot exceed the difficulty limit (This excludes Held Items). For Poké Balls purchased in bundles, the CC Cost they each individually contribute to a Backpack is equal to the cost to buy four of that kind of Poké Ball, divided by 4. So if you wish to bring two Ultra Balls with you, that would count as 2 CC towards your CC Cost Limit.
Master Balls—which are not purchasable—do not influence the CC Cost Limit in any way. Master Balls are stored in the Poké Ball pocket so in theory, you can bring as many as you like with you.
Non-Purchasable healing items do not contribute to the CC Limit but they do take up a slot in the Spare Pocket, so the amount you can bring is limited.
Pokémon Capture:
Capture HP:
Rather than relying on a chance-based system, ASB Capture Mechanics use a system called Capture HP—which is a stat all Pokemon have—found in the NDA. It is equal to 300 minus the in-game capture rate of the given Pokémon. Capture HP is damaged by Poké Balls and when it reaches zero or less, the Pokémon in question is captured.
When Cumulative Capture Damage >= Target Capture HP (CHP), Capture occurs. Poke Ball Damage is always rounded.
Capture Damage (per attempt) = (Ball Strength - FLOOR(Target Current HP / 10 + Max EN Modifier)) * Major Status Modifier - Outside Capture Resistance
Formula Legend:
Ball Strength = Strength of Pokeball Used
Target Current HP = Target's Current HP
Max EN Modifier = 10 (flat) if Target EN = 100, Otherwise 0.
Major Status Modifier is derived by the following table:
(Stronger status modifiers will override weaker ones.)
No Status: x1
Burn: x1.5
Poison: x1.5
Paralysis x1.5
Sleep x2.0
Freeze x2.5
Outside Capture Resistance = (Calculate per target ally individually and sum) FLOOR(Target Allied Pokemon Current HP / 10) + Target Allied Pokemon Max EN Modifier.

Sleep x2.0
Freeze x2.5
Outside Capture Resistance = (Calculate per target ally individually and sum) FLOOR(Target Allied Pokemon Current HP / 10) + Target Allied Pokemon Max EN Modifier.
Capture Round:
A Player can declare a capture round whenever they would issue orders instead. Within a Capture Round, the trainer throws one or more Poké Balls at the target. If a capture fails to reduce the target's CHP to 0, the targeted Pokémon breaks free and uses a Chill, increasing their energy by 12. If the Pokémon gets back to 100 Energy, they will have a free round to Attack your Pokémon. Rounds do not pass and end of action/round effects do not occur during a Capture Round with the exception of the free round.
On Items
During TLR, you can use items at any time during your run. There are two different modes for this: Items outside of combat, and Items during combat.
Outside of Combat
Players can use items except for Poké Balls, swap hold items, and toss items away at any time outside of TLR combat. The player can do an unlimited amount of these actions during a non-combat update and have the highest priority, occurring before the outcome of an update.
During Combat
During the middle of combat, with the exception of a trapping phase, the player can either initiate a Capture Phase by throwing Poké Balls or use a consumable item. The capture phase is mentioned elsewhere so only the latter will be explained in detail here.
During combat, the player can forfeit one of their Pokémon's actions to use one item on any Pokémon in their party, active, reserve, or fainted, as a command:
This command can be substituted for and can be used as part of a substitution when the conditions are met, though chance and KO substitutions can only be done the next action due to priority.Command said:
Save Games
Mechanics:
Saves are automatic as soon as you pass a given point in any TLR. If a player fails to succeed in a TLR, whether that be by being KOed or by KOing the Boss, then they may revert back to any previous save point between where they failed and where their run last started. When you use a save point, you effectively restart the TLR from that point with all Rewards (Excluding Ref Payment), Pokémon stats, and Backpack set to that point. Any counters obtained, Items obtained, and Pokémon caught between the save point and where you reset from are discarded and cannot be claimed unless obtained again. A particular Save Point can only be used once per run and if at a point in a run the player is KOed and has no Save Point to go to, then their run ends. A player can also choose to not use a Save Point if they wish to modify their team regardless.
As mentioned above, you may only revert to a checkpoint between your last starting point the point where your run would have ended. This means that if you go past the Lackey Save Point (for example) and the Guardian Save Point in your run before being KOed, if you revert to the Guardian Save Point then you will not be able to revert to the Lackey Save Point later on. However, if you were to revert to the Lackey Save Point and pass by the Guardian Save Point again, then you would be able to revert to the Guardian Save Point.
Save Point Locations:
Training Difficulty
Training Level TLR's will have a single save point, located immediately after the Guardian Battle.
Legendary Difficulty
Legendary Difficulty TLR's will have two save points - one immediately before the Guardian battle and one immediately after the Guardian battle.
Uber Difficulty

Legend Runs:
Mysterious Cove:
Status: Open
Difficulty: Training
Prerequisites: None
Data: Here
Intro:
"Did you ever hear of the Legends?"
"What Legends?"
"Of Pokémon so rare and so powerful that their very existence is debated even amongst Pokémon researchers."
"Oh, those legends. What of it?"
"They say there is a cove with a rare Pokémon in it. The Pokémon around there are not particularly strong and the place itself has been checked time and time again. People still insist there is a legend there but it can only be found if you can hear its voice."
"Sounds like a fairy tale. Lay off the whisky."
"Whatever you say. I'm heading over there to check it out."
There is a cove hidden deep in a forest that beckons those few chosen ones who seek the legends. In order to get there, you will have to cross several kinds of treacherous terrain but this may be your first chance to get a taste of adventure. A mysterious man meets you at the entrance, signalling you forward. Oddly, it seems like you are the only one who can see him. You ignore the jests of your friends and follow him. You think you have heard him speak before but you cannot quite remember what his voice sounds like. It strikes you as odd, but you head towards the Mysterious Cove anyway.

Enchanted Meadow
Status: Open
Difficulty: Training
Prerequisites: None
Data: Here
Enchanted Meadow. It is a beautiful rolling plains in Kalos, covered in a mix of flowers and grass. It is hard to believe that such a peaceful place could hold a great secret but the locals have sworn that they have seen a very oddly coloured Floette recently arrive in the area. With the Floette, a large number of Pokémon have made their home in the meadow. Locals also report that in the middle of the night, large beams of light have been striking the sky. You are not too convinced that this is anything more than a shiny Floette but it would probably be a relaxing exploration and so, you decide to have a look on behalf of the villagers...
Glacial Cave:
Status: Open
Difficulty: Legendary
Prerequisites: None
Data: Here
Glacial Cave is an Island located far into the South, close to Antarctica. When you get close you awe at the white sands of its beaches, until you realise that is not sand; it is snow. The Island's most prominent feature is a mountain with a large opening that serves as a mouth of a cave. Based on the structure of the mountain, you can tell tell that most of the mass is below the surface. Once you get that you will not be heading up, you know that you will be heading down, deep into the chilly depths. A chill runs down your spine. Hopefully you are ready.
Power Plant:
Status: Open
Difficulty: Legendary
Prerequisites: None
Data: Here
The Kanto Power Plant was abandoned for a long time, rumored that it was inhabited by powerful forces, due to the static electricity that seemed to emanate from it. Ten years ago, that energy vanished and an exploration squad investigated the area and concluded that the Power Plant was safe once more. Six months were spent rebuilding the Power Plant and putting it in full operation and, after that period, the Power Plant was generating energy.
One year ago, a massive thunder stroke on the Power Plant, frying the circuits. Coupled with that, the Power Plant was swarmed with electric pokemon and all human life fled the place…or at least the people that managed to do so safely.
Exploration teams were formed to investigate the area and you are on one of them. Perhaps you will get lucky? Perhaps not. The place is not exactly safe and a foul smell comes from the place. Get ready.

Victory Road:
Status: Open
Difficulty: Legendary
Prerequisites: None
Data: Here
Everyone knows that Victory Road is the ultimate test of skill. Only those who have eight badges are even allowed to go near the place, let alone get in. But once word got out that it is the only known residence of the legendary Moltres, the guards couldn't stop the stream of people who wanted to get it for themselves. Now, anybody can go into Victory Road, and the badge check has been moved to the entrance to the Pokemon League building.
Fortunately, Victory Road is still as difficult to traverse as ever. Most people who go in come running right back out in less than an hour. But rumors abound of trainers who go in and come back out with fewer Pokemon than they began with. You doubt there is any truth to those rumors—after all, who would abandon their Pokemon to the depths of Victory Road?—but even if they are true, it shouldn't be too much of a hurdle.
Arriving at Victory Road, you draw a deep breath. After all you've heard about it, and all you've prepared, here you are. You step in, ready to test these rumors and see if these abandoned Pokemon—or Moltres—actually exist where it is said they do.

Black Sulphur Caldera:
Status: Open
Difficulty: Legendary
Prerequisites: None
Data: Here
It is said that many years ago, the earth in a faraway region cracked open on a warm, starless night, spewing molten rock that burned through villages and blocking out the sunlight with ash for weeks on end. By the time the violent eruption finally let up, the earth was so scorched that plants would not grow anymore, and even Fire-type Pokémon found it impossible to live anywhere near the monstrous mound that rose where the earth had once opened. And while no one had ventured near the site of the eruption for several decades, a recent exploration team was met with a stunning discovery: a deep, blackened pit had opened at the mountain’s summit, revealing a cavern system that must surely stretch deep within the earth.
It was determined that the phenomenon was caused due to rapidly increasing seismic activity, as if a powerful force were on the move below the mountain. Several trainers have ventured out to explore this underground maze, only to return spewing nonsense about a fiery demon, surely a product of dehydration and heat stroke. However, as you climb the mountain, covered in black sand, you can smell the pungent odor of brimstone and feel the scorching heat emanating from deep within the earth, and you can’t help but think that perhaps the old man with third-degree burns and a fainted Rhydon might have been telling the truth. This is Black Sulphur Caldera.

Intro:
Timeless Tower is an unfathomably large structure seated on an impregnable cliff-side. The tower's main spire looms over its entrance hundreds of feet into the air. Bridges extend from the main tower to three separate spires, each on an island pillar of immense density. The ocean roars violently below, beckoning you to stay away.
The bridge to the east leads to a tower frozen over in a massive pillar of ice. The sunlight glistens against its reflective surface, yet no melt can be shown. You look cold just staring at it.
The bridge to the west leads to a craggy pillar that seems to be etched from the very earth itself, impossibly dense and immovable.
A third tower can be seen behind the structure on your map, but it is eclipsed by the sheer enormity of the main spire. It is made of the sturdiest looking metal you have ever seen, an unnaturally purely refined solidity that shares the brilliant sheen of the icy tower and the sheer density of the crag.
As you go up to the entrance, the drawbridge on the main gate opens and falls with a loud crash onto the only access to the mainland. On either side of the bridge are statues of Golurk holding up massive spears. As you enter the main atrium, a massive statue of Golem rolled up into a ball takes the centre of the arena. You look around the room and see exits your east and west going to the towers, stairs built into the floor going down presumably to the tower behind the main spire, and a massive door with three slots in the gate. Depictions of the gate are on the left and right and show three stones being placed in the gate. Both mosaics are completely sand-coloured except for the stones. One is an azure blue, one is a dull brown, and the other a shimmering silver. You attempt to push the gate, but it is so massively heavy you feel tired just pushing on it. It will not budge.
What could this all mean? And where do you go from here?

You look around the room and see exits your east and west going to the towers, stairs built into the floor going down presumably to the tower behind the main spire, and a massive door with three slots in the gate. Depictions of the gate are on the left and right and show three stones being placed in the gate. Both mosaics are completely sand-coloured except for the stones. One is an azure blue, one is a dull brown, and the other a shimmering silver. You attempt to push the gate, but it is so massively heavy you feel tired just pushing on it. It will not budge.
What could this all mean? And where do you go from here?

Tower of Ash: Uber - Requires reaching boss of Toxic Swamp, Amperage Stream, and Molten Lake.Data: Here
Set before you is a massive island that humans have long ago abandoned. Leaving from the helicopter you took here onto a vista, you look down and see a land shrouded in a thick poisonous mist. Directly in front of you is a thoroughly unappealing Swamp, which covers an expansive amount of land. You can see a Stream feeding into further up and to the right, in an area that appears to be under a constant, violent electrical storm. To the right a massive buildup of land forms a caldera around a huge lake of lava that is led into by a vast expanse of barren rock.
Scattered throughout the wreckage, you see some indications that humans once lived here but that a cataclysm had occurred. What little you can see through the tinted fog looks like deeply corroded ruins of civilisation. You turn your attention to the very far side of the island, behind the lake of lava. In the distance sits a massive tower that would at one point been a pillar of civilisation but now appears to be a massive tower of blackened soot, standing as a permanent reminder of the permanence of nothing but entropy. Humanity has abandoned this place, but rumours of legends still abound. You survey the pathways down from the Vista. Which place do you approach first?

Intro:
"The guardian deities, the Tapus, have protected the islands of Alola for many years. The Tapus are also known to determine who is the strongest of them all, testing a trainer's ability whenever they are challenged."
Listening to your guide describing the Tapus only made you more excited to cross paths with them. The guide stops his boat and looks back at you.
"Which island are we heading to?"
It is time for you to decide which Tapu you want to encounter. Do you have what it takes to become the wielder of them all?

Four Swords Quest
Status: OPEN
Difficulty: Legendary
Prerequisites: None
Data: Here
As far as mysterious legends go, you're surprised that this one didn't pick up more interest. Sitting on the rickety old train as it exits from Anville, causing you to uncomfortable bounce on the seat, you glance over the map you have. It details the small village of Skystead, as well as the path to the long abandoned Temple of the Four Blades.
You arrive in Skystead with little affair, finding the local bed and breakfast nestled opposite the Pokécenter. You take a few moments to settle in your room, before heading to the village inn. It's busier than you would have expected, with a few explorers you're sure you recognise. Discussions over drinks confirm two things.
It's with a ringing head you make your way to the temple. Unlike most temples, which elect to sit on top of mountains, or lie between them, the Temple of the Four Blades rests literally within the mountain. You can see the occasional window jutting out the mountainside, small walls where nature failed to be adequate, but you wouldn't be surprised if the thinnest layer of snow would obscure the temple entirely. Plucking up some courage, you carefully enter the temple.

- Your mapping was relatively accurate, and there will be no noodle incidents this time.
- You hold your alcohol as well as a sieve.

Windswept Meadow*:
Status: CLOSED
Difficulty: Uber
Prerequisites: None
Windswept Meadow is a serene flat of grassland, stretching out for as far as the eye can see. A river loops around two sides of the meadow and a rather intimidating bunch of trees come together to form a forest on a third side. The most common entry point as a result is through the fourth side, where a small town resides. You surmise that entering may take you through the forests and streams but you cannot fathom what might lie beyond those landmarks. Most Pokémon trainers who go into the seemingly calm meadow come out talking about horrors that lie beyond—venomous snakes, quicksand, and more. Determined to uncover the mystery of the Meadow, you gather your strongest Pokémon and set out into the field. Maybe you will fare better.
[DISCLAIMER] This TLR may take longer than other ones; if you do not like that, you may want to steer clear of this one.

The Planet's Fury*:
Status: Open
Difficulty: Uber
Prerequisites: None
Data: Here
Arcane in architecture and strange in setting, the Planet's Fury is a place of legend and myth seated in the bustling down-town of the artificial island city of Alto Mare.
Its origins are as murky as the waters it sits on. Some time ago, a storm caused a massive evacuation of the city; inundating it and preventing anyone from entering for weeks on end. After the water receded and the clouds cleared, this structure was found to have forced its way up from underneath the tides and the foundations of the city. Resourceful as they were, the people simply chose to rebuild around it and now it is a mundane part of the Alto Mare skyline.
Rumourmongers speak of guardians that cruise the night skies, keeping the peace in Alto Mare and tie these stories to the appearance of the Planet's Fury. It's said that they guard something within the walls of the alien construct, and that the doors will open only to those whom they wish to see.

Almaz Mine:
Status: Open
Difficulty: Legendary
Prerequisites: None
Data: Here
Almaz Mine was an underground diamond mine that was initially owned by Russians several decades ago. The Russians used to mine here for a long time and became a major source for diamonds. However after reports of several Russian miners going missing within the space of a few weeks, the initial owners sold it off to another company, not wanting to lose any more miners. The new owners fared little better as over the next few weeks, more miners went missing which then forced the owners to abandon the mine.
Nowadays the mine has been long abandoned and there is still no explanation for the disappearances. However, rumours have recently surfaced of a mysterious Pokémon living deep in these abandoned mines which while have intrigued many Pokémon trainers, no one has dared entered the mine hitherto; you could be the first. Given it is an abandoned mine however, it could be very dangerous trawling through this mine. You better hope you are prepared.

Drifting Nomadic Augur:
Status: Open
Difficulty: Legendary
Prerequisites: None
Data: Here
The Drifting Nomadic Augur. A so-called fortune teller that wanders all around the place with an enigmatic personality. There have been many sightings of this augur in all sorts of places from forests to caves to mountains to meteors to alien constructs but few have ever gotten close, let alone live to tell the tale. An intriguing tale that you should maybe pursue. The problem is that there is no real one place to start since the augur has been sighted in so many places around the world. However recently in a forest, a portal has opened up. A couple of people have entered the portal but have never returned. Maybe you should investigate what lies beyond this portal and whether or not it will take you to this augur.

"Did you ever hear of the legends?"
"You mean Phione, the one you've rambled about before?"
"No no no, Phione's hardly a legend. They say that when you head down into the cove, there's another passage, leading to a chain of rock pools, where there's some weirdly strong Pokemon."
"Really, they shouldn't let you within a mile of the whiskey."
"Not just the whiskey - I was right before, and I bet I'll be right again!"
You return to the Mysterious Cove once more, but this time you take some time to look around. It takes surprisingly little time for you to find the opening - although you're sure that there used to be a boulder blocking that. The path looks like quite a steep drop, but it should be fine to climb down.

Siren Sands
Status: Open
Difficulty: Legendary
Prerequisites: None
Data: Here
For several years, rumors have persisted about an anomaly in the deserts of Unova. Near the Desert Resort, it is said, there is a path that leads to an endless stretch of desert. Within that endless stretch, there is a Pokemon who lures travelers to their doom with a song. Until recently, these rumors were never confirmed, and regarded as myth. However, archaeologists studying the ancient ruins have spotted a cavern that leads to a large expanse of desert, and some have even claimed they have heard music coming from that direction. Many have gone to that area only to return empty handed, or not at all.
For one reason or another, these rumors have peaked your curiosity, and you take a flight to Castelia City. Once there, you make your preparations and head to where the tunnel supposedly resides. After much searching, you finally find the cavern, the difficulty of finding it confirming why it was undiscovered up to this point. Steeling your courage, you head inside.

Giant Chasm
Status: Open
Difficulty: Uber
Prerequisites: None
Data: Here
It's been a long trek to get to this point, but your journey has only just begun. You've followed rumours to get to this point, tales of a strange screaming coming from the mountains at night, unrest growing among the Pokemon, and prophecies about the reawakening of a mythical dragon of ice forgotten by time. You can't be sure of how much of that is true, but what you can be certain of is that the coldsnap spreading across the region is coming from here, and it only gets worse the closer you are to the source. You thought you were prepared, but despite the heavy layers of clothing, the eerie chill still manages to creep its way into your bones. You still have a long way to go, but even fires are beginning to struggle against the cold. If something's not done soon, the entire region could fall under this spell.

Seeking Referees for The Legend Run.
We cannot run this alone, so we are accepting Referees for The Legend Run. To apply to become a TLR referee, PM Dogfish44 with some qualifications and we will consider you. If we think you are good enough, we will test you in refereeing a Training Difficulty TLR. If you are good enough, we will let you become a fully fledged referee. There are a few things we expect of you:
1. You must be an able battler, since you will effectively be the AI for the wild Pokemon. You get two substitutions against each team throughout the challenger's entire run, from the Lackeys to the Boss. By the same extension, please shy away from using "dick moves" such as Explosion and Toxic. These are cheap strategies that will earn you zero respect from anyone and are frowned upon massively. In the majority of situations there will be a superior strategy to use anyway.
a. In particular, TLR Referees are not to actively KO their Pokémon unless
c. TLR Referees who break one of the two above rules are prone to re-ordering and re-reffing as needed.
2. We expect you to update TLR's you referee within a reasonable time-frame.i. More than four rounds have passed, and the Pokémon is not a Legend
ii. It allows the the TLR referee to defeat the challenger's entire run.
iii. The challenger will either KO said Pokémon anyway, or has expressed an urge to do so quickly.
iv. You have to actively heal the Pokémon to avoid it being KOed
v. If in doubt, contact TLR Leaders.
b. Some moves are naturally less of a dick move over time. For instance, using Toxic to start a battle is generally not kosher. Using it to break an Endure is fine though. Apply good judgement here.ii. It allows the the TLR referee to defeat the challenger's entire run.
iii. The challenger will either KO said Pokémon anyway, or has expressed an urge to do so quickly.
iv. You have to actively heal the Pokémon to avoid it being KOed
v. If in doubt, contact TLR Leaders.
c. TLR Referees who break one of the two above rules are prone to re-ordering and re-reffing as needed.
3. You will need to post the profiles of the Pokémon the challenger faces as they face them.
4. For your own sanity, we expect you to also keep track of the player's backpack and rewards. In the case that you do need to call for a sub-referee, it will make things easier for them to figure out what is going on.
5. Show no mercy!
Rules 1a, 1b and 1c added 10 Oct 2016
You will be compensated based on updates, based on the following:
-4 UC Base
-1 UC per Poké Ball thrown
-2 UC per Non-Combat Update / "Free Round" following a capture attempt
-3 UC per Combat Update with three or less active Pokémon on the field.
-4 UC per Combat Update with four to six active Pokémon on the field.
-5 UC per Combat Update with seven or more active Pokémon on the field.
-If reffing a single TLR, One Update = One post, dual TLR is considered two updates per post until one party's challenge ends.
Combat Update
-Any update that involves both the player's team and the "house" (as in the Pokémon the referee controls) issuing actions and then being calculated.
Non-Combat Update
-Introducing a new combat (including any encounter where a move is used prior).
-Introducing a new scenario.
-A scenario update that leads to or does not lead to another scenario.
Standards
-Unless the encounter has a choice in that same scenario after the encounter (e.g. DW's Mazes, Forest or Stream in Amperage Stream), give the player a reprieve before introducing a new scenario.
-Transition from Scenario to Scenario (Both Regular) assuming no combat involved should be seamless and be on the same update.
-Reprieve is always given prior to a scenario that contains the guardians or bosses unless the scenario has a choice prior to the encounter AND it is there was no combat involved in that update (e.g. Getting lucky at the Vista in Rock Crag, give a reprieve under the current version. If the player avoids an encounter at the second scenario in Ice Spire, do not give a reprieve since there is a choice to make directly prior to the guardian fight).
-4 UC Base
