The Ruinous Games
History
Ten years ago the five different regions of the World were united in a very vicious form of entertainment. There were twelve districts among each Region that all had a singular purpose. Fire, Water, Grass, Psychic, ect. Each purpose was stemmed by the Pokemon that resided there.
Each region held their own personal form of The Ruinous Games.
It was an event held each year that required twelve young men and women between the ages of twelve and eighteen to fight to the death.
The only reason this awful event was pressed upon the districts was when district 13— Electricity in the Unova Region had rallied up on unfair treatment brought on by the Capital. The weapons that district had created with the power of Electricity almost crashed the Capital to the ground, but the numbers were unevenly matched and therefore, every district had to pay for 13's mistake.
President Mew-Two saw to that.
The event is taken place in an Arena of the Capitals choosing. Some believe the arena is randomly drawn and others believe that the arena is based on the tributes fears and skills.
Up until the tributes enter the arena, the process takes up to two weeks. First, the tributes are to be on the train moments after saying goodbye to family when they are then shipped off to the Capital. Then they meet their stylists, their team. The Chariot Rides come next as their main stylist outfits them into representing their districts Legendary Pokemon.
Interviews are next. They are individually with the host being Kerris Young, she has been the host for the past twenty years. Once each tribute has been interviewed, they begin training for the arena. Two weeks of this and then evaluations begin. The tributes show off their best skill and to do this, they face a Pokemon that they must defeat. Kill or knock unconscious, it is the tributes choice. This process is to be shown off to the game-makers that decide what the arena is going to be.
The scores of the evaluation is then broadcast worldwide which evidently brings in Sponsors. Sponsors are a constant source of survival in the Games. They give money – sometimes resources if they are desperate – to the mentor of said tribute, the mentor then sends in a parachute which will give the tribute the item they need.
Once the tributes are in the arena, things get tricky. The real point is to see death by another, and even though the odds are that most tributes are known to die of natural causes than actually being murdered, the Cornucopia bloodbath at the start always delivers.
The Cornucopia is a base of sorts and where the tributes start. Weapons and Pokeballs are held inside the Cornucopia. Bags are around the outside for the ones that wish to run and most likely survive.
Pokemon do reside in the arena and in the bags, they are three empty Poke-balls. If you wish to catch them permanently or befriend them temporarily is entirely up to the tribute. If you catch them with the Poke-ball, the tribute that survives may keep them.
Only one comes out of the arena. One. Their family is therefore protected from further Games and held in the Victors Village in their district. They get endless supply of food and hot water. The money they have is enough to survive in the Capital. The tribute and their family is treated as winners.
Victors.

Rules
1. The usual RP rules
2. Be active! I want this story to progress in a normal fashion but do not want this rushed either. Even if you only have a paragraph to offer, write it!
3. No bunnying/godmodding without permission.
4. I will be writing a brief description of each stylist/mentor for your District. You may control what they say and do. Stick to the personality traits.
5. When it comes to the interviewer, I will list out questions that he/she will ask your tribute and it is up to you to act them out appropriately.
6. You may obtain your first Pokemon however you see fit, however when it comes to your second and/or third, you must ask my permission.
7. Tributes and Pokemon will die. This is an M fic, so to keep it from going MA keep the graphic low.
8. Weapons are available at the Cornucopia and I will list them when Tributes enter the training facility. No guns/firearms of any kind.
9. Romance is allowed, but there is no Peeta/Katniss variation. Only one comes out. Remember that. No smut.
10. Please have fun :)
Soundtrack
1. Lorde – Glory and Gore
2. Nick Nolan – Get Started
3. Snow Patrol – The Lightning Strike
4. Imagine Dragons – Who We Are
5. Red – Let It Burn
(A/N)
There is only one winner. I will do a random draw to see who lives and who dies for that day/week. Usually, there is a bloodbath at the Cornucopia so many do not actually make it past the first day so I will allow you to have up to three different characters (please be willing to say goodbye to them) so you can still be in the story while sacrificing secondary characters.
If you do not win this time, I am completely prepared with many new arenas and Pokemon up for grabs for the next Ruinous Games. This will not be the only RP for this story!
May the odds be ever in your favour.
