2017 CPC Pokémon League

This year the we have several events for everyone to compete in:

We have a this year’s lineup for gym leaders as well as a strong Elite Four.  As always each gym leader will be ready and eager to face off with you in glorious battle.  For those who make it past all eight gyms and all four member of the elite four, the League champion will be awaiting you atop the stage during the Pokémon Carnival.  Anyone who defeats the champion will receive a free pass to next year’s convention and will be added to the CPC League Hall of Fame.
Just like last year there will be an option of completing a story mode mini challenge.  For those new to our league Story mode means you choose to challenge the gym and collect their badges in order, much like you do in the games.  Story mode is completely option, but will earn those who complete it extra rewards.
We have the return of the nugget bridge challenge.   This event is meant to let you dive into the classic sting of battles reminiscent of red and blue versions.  You take your team up against a “bridge” of challenges in the hope of reaching the final trainer at the end of the bridge to receive your gold (chocolate) nugget and secret reward.
There will be a Battle Royal event to be held on Saturday for the convention.  This event will have special rules to be revealed at the convention.   Come ready for battle, for the we expect competition to be stiff.
