White Crow Underground Duel Arena [Japanese: 白カラス地下決闘場, Shirokarasu_Chika_Kettoujyou, English: White_Crow_Underground_Duel_Field]
[This is the hell of the jungle, the paradise where money is paramount. 】
————————————————————
In cities under the jurisdiction of the Pokémon League, there are often groups that hold tournaments that are officially certified by the Pokémon League, attracting many trainers to participate. And the existence of official certification means that there will also be illegal competitions that are not certified.
The White Crow Underground Duel Arena is a place that exists in the dark corners of major cities, and the pure white bird pattern is their emblem.
Despite their name, they are not located in a dark basement, and in many cases are even located in the downtown neighborhood. Most trainers don't know that the cubicle behind the palatial hotel may be running such an illegal business.
The facilities of the Underground Arena are mostly similar to those of a normal Battlefield Arena, but the combat style is completely different. Here, there is no Junsha and no Joey, only money and victory are meaningful.
Contestants only need to register their pseudonyms and the Pokémon they use, and they do not need to present any identification-related documents to participate in the tournament. If you can win, you will receive several times the prize money of the regular competition.
There is only one rule for fighting - to make the opponent's Pokémon no longer able to fight. As long as this can be achieved, any means and means will be accepted, even if the trainer himself participates in the battle, or kills the opposing trainer.
Winning in this dangerous underground arena is not an easy task, and everyone who dares to step into it is not a fool.
Since the dueling arena does not ask for names and origins, as long as it does not violate its rules, it is often filled with criminals who are hunted by the Alliance, prisoners, or black households without legal IDs, and people from dangerous organizations who are trying to survive. Therefore, if you don't have enough strength and heart, you may not be able to get out of here completely.
We don't say no to anyone. As long as you obey the rules, you are the white crow's eternal guest. 】
The arena provides a seating area for customers to stay in for a hefty fee. Many desperate people see this place as their last resort, and they fight to earn money for their stay.
The prize money for winning a tournament is huge, but the cost of defeat is just as heavy. Not only do you have to pay a lot of money, but even the Pokémon you use can be forcibly taken away by the organizers. No one knows who is behind the huge black dueling arena that can be found all over the world, but everyone who steps inside it is well aware that they can't stand up to the organizers who are turning the tables under the nose of the Alliance.
So, if you want to get shelter, get respect, get money, you have to win. Only the victor has human rights.
In such an environment, the battles in the underground dueling arena are quite bloody and ferocious. Due to the lack of rules, accidents in which Pokémon die in battle on the field are frequent, and even trainers often fight in battle.
The organizers turned a blind eye to this. If one of the players admits defeat or both the trainer and the Pokémon lose their ability to resist, the referee will not intervene to stop the fight unless one of them is dead.
If you want to heal Pokémon, you will need to pay an additional medical fee.
If you do not participate in the competition, you can enter as a spectator after purchasing a viewing ticket. Not only that, but every spectator can place a bet on their favourite before a game starts. If you have a good enough vision, you can make a small profit here just by placing a bet.
The White Raven Underground Arena not only hosts duels, but also operates a mall in the venue, selling some prohibited items that are prohibited by the Alliance. For example, drugs, guns and ammunition, illegal plug-ins that alter Pokémon Illustrated Data, virus programs, etc.
Due to the mixed crowd here, the flow of information is also quite fast. Seasoned veterans can gather a lot of useful intel in the time it takes to have a meal in the restaurant of the dueling arena. It is said that as long as you have enough money, you can ask the waiter at the bar to help you find out the news, and the result will be obtained within three days. Of course, the price of this information must be very expensive.
Duel, Mall, Intelligence. These are the three main industries of the White Crow Underground Duel Arena.
Every staff member of the dueling arena has a strong force, and the security guards guarding the dueling arena are even more unfathomable. However, the dueling arena does not accept hires such as assassination, and they will only attack to uphold the rules of the dueling arena.
After registering in the White Raven's Underground Dueling Arena, you will receive a membership with your identity information recorded. You do not need any identification documents to register, as long as you have a membership card, you will be recognized as yourself, and the duel arena will not investigate the origin of the card or the identity of the cardholder.
Through the URL recorded on the card, you can log in to the intranet of the dueling arena and check the location of the dueling arena in each major city. If you have a good record in the dueling arena, you will get more prizes. Those with a win rate of more than 50% will be upgraded to a premium membership and get more privileges.
The management system of the dueling arena has strict rules, and whether it is participating in tournaments or purchasing goods, you must follow the rules unique to the white crow. These rules are by no means harsh, but they are also unquestionable and provocative.
Those who violate the rules of the dueling arena receive a severe warning and a fine. If the nature is bad, this person will be blacklisted in the dueling arena, and no one will survive the White Crow.
The dueling arena does not prevent private fights between customers, even if there is a fatal incident.
If items in the dueling arena are destroyed during a fight, both parties will be required to claim compensation.
If you can't keep yourself safe, you can pay a hefty fee to buy a protective order for the dueling arena. During the time that the protection order is in effect, the person who injures the token holder is severely punished by the dueling arena.
Only high-ranking members will have access to one of the secrets of the dueling arenas: the dueling arenas throughout the Alliance are connected by underground high-speed trams, like spiders' nests, weaving a monstrous web in the shadows throughout the Alliance's territory.
This is a very different place from the league competition. There is no fairness and blood, no dignity, no good and evil, only the law of the jungle and the supremacy of money.
Here, it is a dark world that the light of the alliance does not shine on.
