🌊Sea of Wonders Investigation! 🌊

... Uh oh!
Haruki has returned from her excursion to Purity Forest ...
And she's hurt!

🌱 EVENT INFORMATION 🌱

The King of Apulia, Lugia, has been sighted once again! After eluding the GCSF for months, the time has come to track him down once and for all! The torrential rain, tornadic winds, and overall stormy weather will start to spread if something isn't done soon. Not only that, but more of those Strange Pokémon are cropping up in the dungeons within the Sea of Wonders. There's no telling where exactly Lugia is hiding, but perhaps it's possible to draw him out! For now, focus on investigating the dungeons within the region, find out more about these Strange, Shadowy Pokémon, and help any survivors in the area evacuate to safety! 

🌱 EVENT MISSION 🌱

The main focus for this mission is to explore dungeons within the Sea of Wonders, further investigating the Shadow Pokémon, and the whereabouts of Lugia! 

Succeeding in dungeons will NOT matter!!
It will still count towards dungeon completion, but succeeding in dungeons will give you Rank Points!

🌱DUNGEON COMPLETION🌱

Dungeons may be explored as many times as you'd like, and may even offer hints or event prompts as you explore them! Depending on the outcome, you may even earn Rank Points!
The goal is to explore any dungeon within the Sea of Wonders 20 times by the month's end for something exciting to happen!
Each dungeon must be explored at least once! If not, the event may not be succeeded!

✦ Marine Resort: 11

✦ Blizzard Island: 6

✦ Devil's Bayou: 14

✦ Fire Island Volcano: 12

✦ Tree Of Life: 22

✦ Ocean Tempest: 5

If 30 dungeons are explored within the month, something good may happen!

If 40 dungeons are explored within the month, something great may happen!

If 50 or more dungeons are explored within the month, something extravagant may happen!

🌱DUNGEON REQUIREMENTS AND TIPS🌱

✦ For a dungeon to count, a Shadow Pokémon will have to be present within the piece! Whether your team is fighting one, avoiding one, trying to reason with them, ect. -- At least one should be depicted within the artwork/written piece!

✦ Alternatively, One can showcase the damage brought upon by the storms or by Shadow Pokémon themselves! Investigating the area where one had just been, footprints, an aura present in the area, destroyed rooms, so on and so fourth! Make it seem like a Shadow Pokémon was just there!

✦ You can gain Rank Points by succeeding in dungeons! Below are the Rank Points you will receive for every successful dungeon run:

Extremely Hard Dungeons: 40 Rank Points
Unbelievably Hard Dungeons: 50 Rank Points
Heroic Dungeons: 60 Rank Points
Legendary Dungeons: 70 Points

These successful runs will cap after 200 points have been accumulated per team! Meaning it's possible to gain 2 ranks within the month!
Be sure to plan accordingly!

✦ After every 10 dungeons, a HINT or EVENT PROMPT will be released in #Event-Hints on the Discord! Be sure to check it out!

🌱TASKS🌱

For first-time completion of each task, you’ll be awarded a bonus of 2,000p!

✦ Tasks cannot be failed and must be done in human (gijinka) form!

✦ Be sure to remember to mark if you’ve completed the task before in your description or grading will be delayed!

Task #1 | Strange Happenings

Ever since Haruki returned from the Sea of Wonders, strange things have been happening around Ethovalon. Seems people are becoming ... aggravated a lot easier. Some people are losing color in their faces and skin (or even turning shades of purple and black!), and a rather foreboding aura seems to encompass certain people too! Though there isn't much reason to be alarmed now, best to take your sleuthing skills to the streets and find out more about the aggression these people are experiencing!

Task #2 | Healing Haruki

The nurses of Ethovalon haven't seen anything like this! Haruki seems to be fighting for her life, yet she doesn't appear to be wounded in any way. At times, her eyes will seem to blink red and she'll cry out in pain as a strange aura flows from her. Though she seems to be holding whatever illness this is back, there must be ways to help soothe her! If you know any kind of treatment that may help her, best do it quickly!

Task #3 | Evacuation ... Again!

Just like with what happened in Spiral Archipelago, the same thing is happening to the inhabitants of the Sea of Wonders! Take to one of the many islands within the area and help people evacuate! Waterspouts, hurricanes, and severe thunderstorms are sweeping the area, and they need the GCSF's help to get out unscathed!

🌱CONCLUSION🌱

✦ The first part of this event will end August 31st at 11:59 EST! (Going into September 1st at midnight)

✦ For participation (at least one dungeon run in the Sea of Wonders), members will be awarded with either a Pokemon Token of Choice or a Potion of Choice! At the end of the event, please provide proof with a link to your piece and which you would like!

Depending on how well things go (or how badly), there may be significant changes in the second half of the event! Strategize and plan accordingly!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the Discord!
