Unfortunately, I'm babysitting early tomorrow so I can't play now and I can't play most of the day tomorrow. I probably could try to fit in an update within the next eighteen hours, but if I can't play, I cna't play I guess <.>
Notes: I was finally able to do that quest, I really needed to overlevel Aron since he has a 4x weakness to fighting. fortunately Machop used Seismic Toss and Makuhita used Bulk Up, both were 2HKOs. I'm not going to be progressing much in the next few days since I need to grind my next 2 team members...
Yay i won the auction :)
Ill update later as i have to do some things but firstly id like to combine to make a stoploss :) :)
Id also like to use my melting clock so it goes off tomorrow.

Day 7 thoughts:
- Sancho still being awesome, he got me 2 Rare Candies in a row - finally I have Breloom with which the 3rd gym was easy
I don't know if the Vortex shatters Protection Charms or not (it doesn't say anything about them, it just states that it wipes all the items ;), but if it does I'll use mine on CWP. And if it does not, then never mind these two sentences.
Continued on rt. 110 and found a hidden Pokeball. (+10)
In Mauville I got the coin case, HM6 and the Heart Scale from the beach to the east(hidden). (+15)

Ending Location: Er....Route Between Mauville and Verdanturf? ^_^; Ending Points: 114 Items: Phoenix Down, Ruby
If any wants my Ruby, I mostly just bought it to trade off. Also, if we are playing tomorrow, I would like to buy a Protection Charm, although I don't think we are. If we aren't playing I would like to keep everything the same. :P
Vortex shatters protection charms
Melting clock can go through protection charm
almost all alchemy items are immune to protection charm
guise I'm not feeling good today so i can't even deal today
going back to bed

I don't remember my teams' levels/movesets(and I'm too lazy to look them up but nothing evolved
I think its safe to say nobody will be doing the 1st route grind challenge Laure. Make a new quest? Please ;.;
Actually, that quest was completed by CWP. I also completed the Anti-Nuzlocke quest as well, so there are no more active quests...
We do need more, but I think Laure needs help with ideas. I did list some back before we started here, though. look in the spoiler.
Contests are viable now that most people can get a Contest Pass in Verdanturf.
So i was going to do my hour and a half before i left for my girlfriends but i wont be able to know since day 8 hasnt started yet so im just going to have to do it when i get back. And Also i think i forgot to pass the bomb.. if i did ill give it to jespoke.

I got school (Double DX) but I'll try to be on whenever possible.
Sign me up for Sapphire.
If I said I wanted Winter, you'd probably give me Summer. I hates Summer in Arizona. Way too hot

Ummm..the signups closed last week, sorry. it does say signups closed on the title you know. Wait for the next iteration, and you will be welcomed wholeheartedly! :)
Can anyone access the first page? I've been trying to for hours and it seems to have a server issue for me, it doesn't affect any part of the forum cept this area. And it's really being a problem for me D:<
What exactly is The Challenge?
This challenge is like a challenge within a challenge (lol lost? It will make sense soon) where simple actions done within your Pokemon game can help you take on you compete against your opponents, who happen to be everyone else that signs up. Unlike traditional challenges you have to use time wisely to survive.
How the Game is played:
In your copy (whether it be emulator or hard copy) of Ruby or Sapphire version (no Emerald) you will be playing The Pokemon Seasons challenge Found here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=247587 Once you sign up a season will be assigned to you. Ignore Expert Mode
To make it easier thanks to JD and Jespoke I have a list of Pokemon that are available for you to use for R/S using the Seaons Challenge Winter
Time Allotment: Unlike other challenges there is a time limit to this game, you may only play your game for no more than 30 minutes a day, no speed button.
Points: This whole challenge revolves around points and it's not quite hard to obtain them, if you use your 30 minutes wisely of course. Located in this thread is a points table, when you collect Pokemon, Track down TM's, and clear areas of their trainers you'll receive points and be able to use them in the Store.
Items and Beating the Game The winner of the game is the one who can manage to capture Rayquaza as well as Latias and Latios, so I know what you're thinking. I'm not one of those project alpha competitors how can I keep up and beat the others with only 30 minutes a day? Items is how, using those points you been collecting the store offers a wide variety of items which can be used to box your opponent's party members, slow their time down, or even force them to start a brand new game. Don't worry they plan on doing the same to you so stock up on protection charms.
Events It's not just opponents against you, the game itself will try and slow you down, but sometimes it can help as well. At the start of every tournament day using RNG random events can occur that can effect individuals, the store, or the group as a whole. It's not all bad though for there is also a lottery every day where one lucky person receives points or even exclusive items. Another game changing event is several different bombs that will be handed out, if you have the bomb, once you finished your task for the day hand it to someone else. Eventually it will explode (just like playing hot potato) and the one holding it at the time of explosion will either be very lucky or very unfortunate.
Quests and Alchemy There are going to be some items you cannot receive through even the lottery, so there is 2 ways to get them. Following an alchemy recipe you mix 3 different items to create what you need, or check the quest section. I'll be posting certain things, that when done, will get you a treasure chest with points and exclusive items, but make sure to work on the quest quickly, once someone beats it the quest will disappear.
RULES In Game: Follow all Season specific rules to your game that the Seasons Challenge forum. Additional Rules as follows: must have 4 Pokemon in your party by the 4th gym, 6 pokemon in your party by the 7th. If one of your Pokemon get boxed, you cannot continue with your journey any further til you have the right amount of party members. In the beginning of the game if there is no required Pokemon before the first gym feel free to hack 1 in.
Keep Your Team Leveled: This isn't a solo challenge, all party members CANNOT be less than 5 levels lower than your highest leveled Pokemon.
BE ACTIVE I cannot stress this enough for this challenge, subscribe to the forum so when you know there is a reply (it could be me starting a tournament day or someone using an item against you) after every time you play you must update with your points, if you report your points on another day you don't get them. If I don't hear from you within 3 days you are out of the game. (Unless you have vacation or will be away from the computer contact me and we'll work something out.
Tournament Days You may not use your 30 minutes until I declare it a tournament day, due to time zone differences and such it's just easier to start when I say start, that and I need to decide the daily events and lottery.
You only get 30 minutes I won't squabble over 1 or 2 minutes off of your in game time, because I know you want to finish the battle your stuck in and probably take notes during your journey so you can accurately add up your points. However, only do this in one sitting, no playing for 10 minutes in the morning than another 20 later. Once you shut your game off you're done. Once again, remember, no speed button allowed in this challenge.
Rules on Items You cannot use an item the same day you acquired it, unless, it is a lottery gift. You may also trade items, you cannot just give them away though (like in a Pokemon game) there must be an exchange of goods. However, if you get bored you should make a Will & Testament in case you /rage quit or disappear for 3 days your items won't go to waste and will go to someone. In this thread is a nice alchemy shop to combine your lesser items into greater items, sadly, you may only use alchemy once a day.
Misc: If Sudden Change is cast on you, you may pick whatever season you'd like to switch to, but you may never repeat seasons until you've run through them all.

Joltik the Snitch
This isn't a Gen V challenge, but Joltik is here to help you out. Instead of using it on your opponent Laure (the DM) is your target. Unleash this on her and she'll be forced to tell you important information, such as: Which one of your opponents has a counter item, when the bomb in play will explode, what the bomb will do when it explodes, and what one and only one of the quests treasure chest contains to see if it is worth your time. Answer will be given to you in the form of Private Message so none of your opponents are wise.
Alchemy Recipes
List of recipes to help make ultimate items
+ + = Stoploss
All Opponents may only play 15 minutes the following tournament day after this spell is cast
+ + + = Melting Clock
The following tournament day after this spell is cast, no opponents are allowed to play their game for the day, but the user gets an additional hour
+ + = Toxic Orb
Item that can be stuck on an opponent, once attached opponent will only receive half of the points they earned during game play. Only way to get rid of the orb is to trade somebody (yeah good luck), start a new game, or get an antidote
+ + = Antidote
The only item in the game that can shatter your toxic orb, other than a black out of course
+ + + = Absolution Blade
The ultimate weapon that can be used on 3 opponents at a time to force them to start a new game. THE ONLY ITEM THAT CAN SHATTER PROTECTION CHARMS.
+ + + = Dice of Fate
Step up step up and take a fun little gamble. When you use this item pick heads or tails, and the DM will flip the coin. If it's in your favor, it will be a happy day. All your points will double, know those items you have? The Dice's power will upgrade them into much more powerful items. Now what if the odds aren't in your favor? The house always wins. Say good-bye half of your points, your items will be downgraded, and in most cases taken away. It's a complete gamble, but it's 50/50 odds.
+ + = Vortex
Opponent scaring you with the way they've been collecting items? Simply send them into a vortex. Once this powerful tornado hits them their inventory will be completely empty.
+ + + + = Creature of Darkness...
Some of the most powerful items in the game put together will earn you the right summon this cruel creature. Using its power you may wreck havoc on the whole field. Using its powerful attack all protection charms on the field will shatter and all opponents will be forced to start a new game. Once cast the creature will disappear, taking all your items and points as tribute, and leave you the last one alive.
+ + + + = Protection of the Choboco
Can't have an RPG without a Choboco. As you see this recipe also needs very rare items, one of which being the Absolution Blade, which you could use to summon the Creature of Darkness. That would be very cruel of you though? Being the gentle soul that you are, use these items for good and not evil, not to mention this spell will help you win the game. The Choboco will act as your personal protector. It isn't fast enough to stop Dark Pokeballs, switch items, or a toxic orb, but Sudden Change, Black Out, and Absolution Blade have no effect on it. If someone else summons the Creature of Darkness the monster won't find you, (but it will find your wallet and all your points will be taken away). Your Choboco, unlike the protection charm, will never fade and remain by your side for the rest of the game. No longer having to worry about the pesky new games you can continue your journey without fear.
BOMBS
List of the effects bombs can have on you, if they happen to explode on you. Protection Charms can't save you from bombs. Remember if you have one on you when you enter in your points and activities for the day you have to name someone you want to pass it to. If holder of bomb wasn't active that day bomb will be randomly handed to someone else.
Big Bomb- When explodes cost the user 50 points Perfect Bomb- All Points and Items are taken away Confetti Bomb- User gets 50 points Grand Bomb- User gets 100 points Smoke Bomb- Starting the next tournament day the user is prohibited from playing for 2 days Clockwork Bomb- Starting the next tournament day the user gets an additional hour added to their additional time Killer Bomb- Boxes 2 random Pokemon on user's team Doom Bomb- Same effect as Blackout, user must restart game Prize Bomb- User gets 3 random items Bargain Bomb- User gets 50% off all items in the store for 3 days Inflation Bomb- Store is 50% more expensive for user for 3 days Toxic Bomb- Toxic Orb is forced on user Enchanted Bomb- User is given a protection charm that last for 5 days, if user already has protection charm it is recharged Peace Bomb- in your game for 2 days you may not battle any trainers of any kind, even if it means you can't advance your journey Lololololololol Bomb- Forces you to nickname all your pokemon "Lol", "Lolololol", "Epic Lol" or LLLOOOLLL! for the rest of the challenge
QUESTS
Here is a list of in game tasks that if you fulfill you receive a treasure chest with exclusive items and points. Remember, once someone unlocks the treasure chest it is gone, so think wisely on if you wish to complete one. Quests are in order of difficulty and the harder the quest the better the prize.
1st Route Grind
Even though you may only use season Pokemon to battle trainers and gym leaders to advance the plot, it wouldn't hurt to level up your boxed Pokemon in case you need them later. Poocheyna, Wurmple, and Zigzagzoon are your options for this quest. Once you evolve the 3 of them to their final the treasure chest is yours. Of course, if they don't apply to your team they may not be in your party when you fight trainers or be on any route that could advance your game.
Operation Surskit
Have fun with this mission, because Surskit has a 1% encounter rate on route 102. If you can manage to catch 6 of them, the treasure chest is yours.
Anti- Gym Nuzelocke Challenge (No Saving allowed for area unless time runs out)
With only a limited amount of team members I'm sure you'll come across a gym in the game where your Pokemon are at high risk. In this challenge have a team of only Pokemon that are weak to the corresponding gym (If this were R/B/Y I'd go to Misty's Gym with only fire types) and treat it as a Nuzelocke challenge. Once your Pokemon faints you can no longer use it on this task. Get the badge and you win the challenge.
USERBAR
I can. >:) Dunno if it's still being tricky for you though. Also, I'm assuming that whoever had the clock couldn't use it, then? :(
Notes: I'm really sorry you guys that I've been a fail. Personal problems and it seemed like every time I had a spare moment the site was done. Let's get things kicking again and I'll be participating in the tournament again starting tomorrow (even though I really hate 3rd gen). @ MythHax yeah you are still in. Quests will go up tomorrow.
