[FINISHED] The Fortune Cup

[Dragon]

Hey, hey gang!

Now, the beauty of the fortune cup is that every so often... you'll get to test your luck, even outside of battling! Have alook out for events such as these and

Well, well, well! Look what I've dug up!

Three of these babies~! And I'm giving them to you!​

This is your chance to make yourself even RICHER! You see, I have three treasure chests here; let's call them Treasure Chest A, Treasure Chest B, and Treasure Chest C respectively. Now, since I'm feelin' generous, you all get to have one key. Now, with they key, you are allowed to open one of these chests, and have the goodies inside!

One of these chests contains a Jackpot of coins!

The other two? Well, the other two contain special... "friends" of mine. One of them is really nice! The other? Well, it won't be as nice. In fact, it can make you quite miserable.

Again, entirely optional, but if you want, choose your choice of chest A, B, or C, and PM me your choice! Your selections will be revealed soon!

It's time to reveal the treasures!

Let's start with... Chest C.

The people who picked it are:
Cubism, gimmepie

Let's see what fortune has in store for you!

Spoiler:

Uh-oh, see that slime? You'll notice as it grows bigger, and bigger, until it completely engulfs you, making you lose 10 coins in the whole slimey process (but don't worry, you'll won't go below 0 coins). However, on a good note, the perpetrator shows it's face!

You can add it to your team roster, or save him for later if you want.

Now for Chest B.

The people who picked it are:

Fafnir, Corvinkight, Ranko
Let's see what fortune has in store for you!

It appears that this guy wishes to join your teams! Add it to your team roster, or save him for later if you want.

Now for Chest A.

[Dragon]

Take your places!

Cause I owed this guy a favor, and now, the fortune cup is temporarily a racing zone, featured by eeveelutions~! AND I SERIOUSLY WANT THEM GONE. But alas, a favor is a favor.

However, let's make em' fun, shall we? These 5 lil'guys are gonna race in a track. Race like never before. And your job? Simply guess which of these guys will come 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th! Now, if you're wondering about our lil'contestants, let's take a closer look, shall we?

1 - Vaporeon's Pearl

The lax rookie. Seems as though he isn't all that great, but, he's got a lot of spirit! Who knows, he might turn the tide on this race.

2 - Jolteon's Spiky Comb

Our fast fan favourite! Looks like he's a shoe in again, although, and this is between you and me - he might of gained a couple of pounds over the last week! Sooo the race might be even this time around!

3 - Flareon's Du Flame on You

Ugh. Flareon. Look, this is just my... opinion, but, don't trust this guy. He's sneaky, he's cunning, and he'll do whatever it takes to win. Will he succeed? Who knows.

4 - Espeon's Jewel

Aw, he's too cute! He's a bit agile - like our defending champ! We might have a new champ this time around!

5 - Umbreon's Moon

Ugh, he's lazy, but surprisingly quick on his feet when it comes to food. Perhaps there will be an added incentive for him to win!​

Now that you've met the contestants, it's time to place your bets! PM me a sheet that looks like this:

1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th

And fill in each of these 5 pokemon in each slot! Guess on which pokemon will fill in for these slots at the end of the race! Ohoho, as an added incentive for you, there are nice prizes to be won!

If you got guess at least one correctly, you'll win 30 coins!

If you got guess at least two correctly, you'll win 50 coins!

If you got guess at least three correctly, you'll win 100 coins, annnnd the prizes of the lovely Eeveelutions!

If you got guess at least four correctly, you'll win 150 coins!

If you got guess all five race placements correctly, you'll get a whoppin' 200 coins, and well.. a pair of my weathered friends:

The race has begun!

And so are the Eevee family! At the first stretch, we see that Jolteon has a nice lead ahead of the other four, his usual tactic! But OH what's this?! Vaporeon uses it's Ice beam attack on the floor, as it slides across its way to first! What a maneuver! Meanwhile, Espeon and Umbreon are neck and neck, while Flareon surprisingly trails off in last place. Hm... I don't trust him. Oh look! Espeon with it's amazing jumping ability double flips over Umbreon, making it's way to 3rd, as it closes in on Vapreon and Jolteon! Jolteon with it's perseverance uses it's strong legs to try and push it's way to first, but Vaporeon won't give in so easily! Flareon meanwhile - huh?! What's this?! Flareon uses it's Fire Blast on Umbreon! The pain winces Umbreon, as it tumbles over, causing it to be in last place, as Flareon pushes on to 4th.

Meanwhile, in the middle stretch, Jolteon finally manages to catch up to Vaporeon, as they are now neck and neck for first. But here comes Espeon! Look how clever it is! It uses It's psybeam on the ground, launching itself up from the track, landing it comfortably within 1st place with it's Psychic. With Jolteon and Vaporeon fighting for second place now, Flareon sneakily uses it's quick attack when it saw it's chance, hitting the duo on it's side, making them stumble a bit, as Flareon pushes on to second.

In the last stretch, Flareon desperately tries to use it's ember on the young Espeon, but, it's efforts were soon in vain as the clever Espeon uses it's psychic attack to reflect it away from him. But the crafty Flareon isn't through yet - he powers his way towards Espeon, as it tries to tackle Espeon to try and secure his place on first. However, Espeon is quick - it leaped out of the way, and at the last instance, it secured it's placement in first place, as Flareon waltzes his way to second. Soon, Vaporeon and Jolteon close in. Its a neck and neck race as Vaporeon manages to at the last second powers his way to third, with Jolteon coming in forth. Soon Umbreon came along, feeling shaken up from Flareon's Fire Blast attack, but manages to have enough gas in the tank to finish in last place.

In case you haven't gotten all of that:

1st - 4 - Espeon's Jewel
2nd - 3 - Flareon's Du Flame on You
3rd - 1 - Vaporeon's Pearl
4th - 2 - Jolteon's Spiky Comb
5th - 5 - Umbreon's Moon
