Good luck on the job and finals, Crimson.
@PyroGaleZX needs to accept your bio before you can post an RP response. Plus, everyone is in Motostoke and Hulbury wouldn't have been completely empty. Pokemon and people who don't care about what's happening in Motostoke Stadium or want to see it on the large monitor in the Pokemon Center are there. Nessa just isn't there.
@Cerb900 I would love to accept you but you are missing a vital component of you application and until it is filled in you are NOT accepted.
Goal: Travel across all regions and eventually become a Pokémon Professor.

Okay now I think I have everything xDIt's not there.
@Cerb900 You are still missing something from your bio, and if I may be blunt here, it doesn't appear that you prioritized reading through the rules and character bio ahead of time since you continue to miss information. As well you posted before you were accepted so right now it is hard to accept you even if you had all the required parts filled out. Thank you for your application but for now you are NOT accepted.

What does TDIP stand for: The Dodge It Problem
Pokémon:
In terms of combat, the rules in place are essentially the same as the severity of a school ground fight. Pushing and tripping openly and on purpose are seen as dishonorable but nothing for staff to get up in arms about, the line that is drawn for these rules is physically assaulting another trainer. Basically, the character attacking has open intentions to physically harm their competition, examples are punching, kicking, biting, headbutting, karate chopping, suplexing, wrestling, throwing, dislocating arms or other limbs. The borderline I would say for how much a trainer would be allowed to get away with is at most walking over and stomping on a competitor's foot, (Bolding for eyecatching).
Next the barriers full on block attacks like the trainer is using Protect, a barrier forms and blocks Special Attacks like Flamethrower, Ice Beam, and Water Gun, and repels physical attacks like Crabhammer, Brick Break, or Pound, however the force from blocking an attack can still throw a player off. An example is if a Machamp uses Close Combat and a trainer jumps in to block it, Machamp is pushed back but the trainer won't be standing like an iron wall.
Ahh gotcha, so blocking an attack (or at least redirecting it without hurting the Pokemon) would be allowed. What about if a Pokemon body checks the opponent's trainer, but it isn't considered Tackle or Body Slam or Slam or any other body-checking move and it's not an attack (just a way a Pokemon can biologically do a thing and use it to it's advantage)? It's just to shove them out of the way via using your Pokemon.
Alrighty cool. But would using non-attack actions (which is what I'll be calling it now) be allowed against a human trainer?
