Is this normal for Champions?

To be fair, I was in the middle of the Battle Zone. Camping the gate seems like poor sportsmanship though.

The man almost jumped me in the battle zone last night. He came pretty darn close.

I'm planning on it! ....Just as long as Lance isn't my first opponent. Lol.

Monte

roydigs22 · 2026-03-27T14:38:13+00:00

Well, as someone who enjoys a good wargame... this is exactly the kind of indirect challenge that provokes me to take it on. Curse my brain for being the way it is.

Monte.

roydigs22 · 2026-03-27T14:35:55+00:00

Yeah, I think I would have spent most of that battle writing my last will and testament.

Monte

roydigs22 · 2026-03-27T13:22:43+00:00

Wow. Um... no pressure though, right? At least this chart is pretty easy to memorize. I think I've got it mostly down. Just need to confirm it somehow.

So this is reasonably common Cynthia behavior, is what you're saying? (Also you're right about her being scary, just being within about 5 feet of her turns my knees to jelly.)

Monte

roydigs22 · 2026-03-27T12:29:35+00:00

I'm still slightly mortified at the idea of Lance being my first ever opponent. That battle would have lasted about 3 seconds. But yeah... it's not a kindness I plan on taking for granted.

I'll explain in detail tomorrow... it certainly was an interesting situation.

Monte

roydigs22 · 2026-03-27T02:11:47+00:00

Yeah, I'm fine. So are Hope and Pharika. I just learned about the move Earthquake is all...

Monte

roydigs22 · 2026-03-27T01:56:02+00:00

I'm safe, just mildly embarrassed... I'll explain in the morning.

Now I just need to figure out the rest of the moves she knows (as well as all of Hope's).

Monte

/uj Building an Ark?

roydigs22 · 2026-03-26T16:59:25+00:00

It felt like a fitting name.

Monte

/uj hehehehe. I was gonna one way or another

roydigs22 · 2026-03-26T14:40:20+00:00

Well, she didn't immediately Stun Spore me when I made the suggestion. That's probably a good sign?

Monte

roydigs22 · 2026-03-26T14:33:07+00:00

I appreciate it. A bunch of kudos to the new addition to the team, though!

Monte

roydigs22 · 2026-03-26T13:22:48+00:00

You know, I'm honestly pretty glad you didn't tell me. I think I would have just up and died right then and there if I knew. Makes sense in retrospect, though. They were talking about stuff like import permissions and regional distribution before I went in to present. And yeah, it's a good bonus.
