[attr="id","listingInfo"]As you enter the chilly battle arena, you will notice Benjamin sitting in a majestic chair on the opposite end, awaiting you with his wide grin. "Welcome! I believe you are here for my badge? Well then... Show me what you got!" With a surprisingly swift movement for his age, he would rise from his chair and take position. "Ready or not, here I come!"

Typical gym battle rules apply. Benjamin's available Pokemon and their levels are dependent on the number of badges you have and are as listed below.

[attr="id","listingName"]Trial

[attr="id","listingInfo"]“What?! You aren’t here for a battle? Then how- Oh don’t tell me you want to do the wretched Trial,” Benjamin would snarl, his grin losing its curve ever so slightly. “I would rather give you this badge for free than put you, and myself, through that mockery…” The bearded old man would fish out a brand-new gym badge from his pockets, dangle it in front of you before breaking it into pieces. He would then throw the pieces into the icy pool where the Chinchou swim. With his sadistic toothless grin at its widest, he would peer into your eyes before giving you your alleged challenge… “Pick those pieces up and the badge is yours!” Benjamin would then immediately walk towards the exit, but stop right before disappearing into the darkness to give you a warning. “Oh! And it’s my Pokémon’s play time. Please don’t bother them while you are here.” After those last words, all you hear is his maniacal laughter which echoes around for much longer after his exit.

If you look into the pool where the broken pieces were thrown, you will find that the Chinchou had already picked them all up. The silly creatures would attempt biting into it thinking it is food, but once they find out it isn’t edible, they would promptly spit it out onto the thin sheets of broken ice floating on the pool. It seems the only way you could earn this badge without fighting Benjamin is by picking these broken ones… However, picking them up may not be as easy as it looks.

While Benjamin called it playing, what most of his Pokemon do is nothing akin to playing. It is more like a free-for-all fight. Looking up, you will notice that a Hawlucha is juggling sharp icicles over the pond and is ready to throw it at any moment. Meanwhile, a Primeape swings around the cave using the several long ropes tied to the ceiling, kicking everything in his way, and a Cloyster comes soaring out of the water by bouncing on an underwater Trampoline. Occasionally, a Lanturn shoots a Water Pulse trying to hit the swinging Primeape or the juggling Hawlucha. If you are upset with all this chaos, you aren’t alone; standing in a corner is an Electivire who seems rather enraged with his fellow Pokemon’s behaviour and attempts to stop them all by paralyzing them with a Thunder Wave. In the middle of the pond, on top of an iceberg, a Glaceon who is completely oblivious to her surroundings is very involved in hitting the targets around the pond with her Ice Beam.




Rules:

1. You may use only as many Pokémon as Benjamin has left in the cave.
   
2. You must collect all the broken badge pieces to complete the challenge and earn the badge and reward.
   
3. The number of Pokémon allowed and the number of badge pieces are dependent on the number of badges you have:
   

   Badges Owned	No. of Pokemon
   0	2
   1	3
   2	4
   3	5
   4	5
   5	6
   Re-Challenge	6

   
   
4. The floating ice sheets are very small and thin. Therefore, you cannot have more than one Pokemon on one ice sheet and these cannot weigh more than 90 kg.
   
   • If your Pokemon weighs more than 90 kg or there are more than one Pokemon in one ice sheet, your Pokemon will fall into the water.
     
5. If any of your Pokemon fall into the water, the Chinchou swimming inside will electrocute them and the icy water will freeze them, making them faint. If all your Pokemon faint, you lose the challenge.
   
6. In one round, your Pokemon may jump from one ice sheet to another one that is immediately adjacent to it.
   
   • At every post, you must mention the current location of all your Pokemon that are inside the pond.
     
   • Flying-type Pokemon may cover two steps in one round. However, because of the very cold atmosphere, they will be grounded the next round and cannot move until the subsequent round. This takes effect also if the Pokemon uses the move Fly.
     
7. Every time your Pokemon jumps to a new ice sheet, there is a 50% chance that you will find a piece of the badge. You must roll a d2 for this:
   
   • Roll 1: You do not find anything.
     
   • Roll 2: You find a piece of the badge.
     
8. Every round, Benjamin’s Pokemon will “accidentally” attack your Pokemon while they are “playing”. No two Pokemon will target the same ice sheet at the same time.
   

   Pokemon	Action	Effect	Attack Type
   Hawlucha	Throws a sharp Icicle straight down at the ice sheet.	It will hit any Pokemon standing on the ice sheet pushing them into the water; if there are no Pokemon, it will destroy the ice sheet.	Ice
   Primeape	Swings above the ice sheet.	He will kick any Pokemon standing on the ice sheet into the water; if there are no Pokemon, he will kick the ice sheet and destroy it.	Fighting
   Electivire	Sends a Thunder Wave towards the ice sheet.	The wave will paralyze any Pokemon standing on the ice sheet.	Electric
   Lanturn	Shoots a Water Pulse towards the ice sheet.	The water pulse will confuse any Pokemon standing on the ice sheet.	Water
   Cloyster	Bounces straight up towards the ice sheet from underwater.	He will break the ice sheet as he comes up; if there are any Pokemon standing on the ice sheet, they will be knocked into the water.	-
   Glaceon	Shoots an ice beam towards the ice sheet.	The beam will freeze any Pokemon standing on the ice sheet.	Ice

   
   Note: Pokemon with the ability Levitate can pickup the badge piece even if Cloyster destroys the ice sheet.
   
9. To see which of Benjamin's Pokemon attacks, you must roll another dice. This dice roll cap is the same as the number of Benjamin's Pokemon, which is as reported in the table above. For example, if this is your first gym, Benjamin will have 2 Pokemon, so the dice will be a d2. For this roll, which number corresponds to which attack will be decided at the start of the challenge.
   
10. Before you can pick up the badge piece, you must deal with the incoming attack. [You SHALL NOT attack Benjamin’s Pokemon directly. If you do, you lose the challenge by default]. There are several ways can handle the attack:
    
    • Immunity: If your Pokemon is immune to the type of incoming attack, it can ignore it.
      
    • Resistant: If your Pokemon is resistant to the type of incoming attack, it can endure it for two times. From the third time onwards, even if the Pokemon is resistant, the effect will activate.
      
    • Avoid/Block: Your Pokemon can do something to avoid or block the incoming attack. For example, your Pokemon could use Protect to block the attack, or Wrap/Vice Grip to avoid being kicked out.
      
    • Switch: If you have more than one Pokemon inside the training pond, you may switch their positions provided they can reach the other location in one round. For example, if two Pokemon are on adjacent ice sheets, they can switch their position. This does not count as a jump; however, neither Pokemon can use a move this round.
      
    • Jump: Your Pokemon may also choose to simply jump out of the way to the next ice sheet. In this case, you cannot pick up the badge piece and if the incoming attack would destroy the ice sheet, it will be destroyed.
      
11. The huge iceberg in the middle of pond is indestructible and your Pokemon may not jump onto it.
    
12. One Pokemon can collect as many badges as you want. However, once a Pokemon jumps out of the pond and back into the main floor, it may not enter the pond again.
    
13. Your Pokemon always moves before the incoming attack, unless the move takes more than one round to activate.
    
14. Destroyed ice sheets will regenerate after 5 rounds, excluding the round they were destroyed on.
    
15. While your Pokemon are standing on ice sheets, you may not recall them into your Pokeballs. If you attempt to do so, the Primeape will block it by swinging right in front of you.
    
16. If you win, you get the badge and reward along with Benjamin’s spite. If you lose, enjoy having an old man laugh at your face and call you a loser (better luck next time).
