In a world where no ten-year-old children rose up to defeat the teams that threatened to take over their region, all six organizations worldwide were able to do just that: take over their respective regions. Unsatisfied with control over just their home, however, each set their sights on the mainland – Kanto, Johto, and the surrounding areas – only to find that they weren't the only ones with that same idea.
With six groups who can't get along in one area, who knows what kind of zany nonsense will propel one group to victory above all others? It's up to you, the members, to decide! Help us decide who's the best of the best when it comes to Pokemon teams, and have fun at your stay at Heavy Crowns!
we're officially open~! no fancy givaways or anything yet, unfortunately; just some good ol' app makin' and question asking right now. our first weekly challenges will be coming up on the twentieth in a week's time, so keep an eye out for those. welcome to the site, and we hope you enjoy your stay!
welcome to heavy crowns! today, the thirteenth of october, marks our launch day! there are no special events marking the occation, unfortunately, but when a new event comes around, we'll let you know here! keep an eye out - what we've got in store for you is going to be great.

james is gonna paint his hair yellow, grab an oversized fake hammer and a cool set of cardboard armor and go as thor! to help him out aurora (his altaria) grudgingly allowed her wings to be painted grey and black and will pose as an ominous storm cloud hovering in james's vicinity for the day. blitz (the shinx) has taken a dip in yellow and might just be jumping down every now and then from the back of aurora to act as the cute and fluffy mighty thunderbolt for those who don't fork over the candy. let's hope nobody gets hurt

Halloween is always a stressful time for Camille, since he feels the need to be the best dressed every year. However, with his funds no longer infinite, he’s stuck to doing his best with a modest budget. This year he’s blown his month’s food money on a custom masquerade ball costume inspired by the pokemon mitotic, glittering mask, butt feather-fin bustle, and all.
His dragonair went through many costumes deciding on the perfect one. He’s got a flare for the dramatic just like his new trainer, and an ego that wouldn’t be satisfied with just one option. How about covering himself with feathers and glitter to be a quezacotl? Or should he wow the judges with something minimalistic by putting his tail in his mouth to represent Oberon, the cycle of life? Ew, no, something more sanitary please… Then he thought maybe a wartortle, encasing his length in a fake shell. Heck, how about a ninja wartortle? Too silly? Hmm… Well, the super fluffy fleece of a mareep costume sure is comfy… Seems like he’ll be a very long sheep this year! xD Camille’s sibling would want Eros to dress up as a sock puppet

okay, so, artemis is going to have two costumes, because he has his adonis/flare admin identity and they totally need a halloween costume too.
so in the week leading up to halloween, when running around doing important flare stuff in his adonis disguise, artemis would have been a... pumpkin patch vampire. i'm not kidding. he would keep the mask, of course, but for this costume it would be plain black. as normal for his adonis disguise, his hair would be slicked back, but, gasp!, he put semi-permanent dye in his hair to make it brown! along with the dye, he would spray a couple of strands of hair white to give him that halloween-y look or something. i don't even know. clipped into the right side of his hair would be a pumpkin fascinator - a lopsided (fake) pumpkin with a scary face carved into it. there would also be a couple of black fluffy feathers, and covering the right side of his hair would be black russian veiling, but that's pretty much it for the fascinator. of course, to be a vampire, you need fangs, so artemis has tiny little fangs. he's also made his skin paler using white cake make-up.
clothes-wise, "adonis" hasn't done much to change his clothes over than adding an orange scarf and colouring the soles of his overtheknee boots orange. so, he's still going around with black slim trousers and black sleeveless zipper vest over a dark grey long sleeved tshirt that hugs his arms nice and tight. of course, 4 style points, fingerless gloves. they have to be fingerless in order to show off his nails, which have little pumpkins painted on them over a clear coat! it took ages and you better compliment him on it.
and that's adonis.
let's move onto artemis when he inevitably dresses up on october thirty-first. guys i'm going overboard.
artemis will be the mad hatter (his own version of him, anyway). black slim fit trousers, knee high combat boots (with a three inch heel, guys he loves his heels) and mismatched thigh high socks over the trousers - one pair is diamond patterned, coloured dark red and black, and the other pair is horizontally striped in black and royal blue, and also pulled up slightly higher than the other pair.
guys i'm going overboard and i'm not even sorry CACKLES MADLY WHILE LIGHTNING FLASHES IN THE BACKGROUND
so for his upper half, he's wearing a subtle floral patterned deep purple shirt, and over that a *gasp* plain black waistcoat. you probably won't see the shirt though, because of the lighter purple (still kind of dark) scarf wrapped and tied around his neck and the black trench coat he's wearing.
now, you can't have the mad hatter without a lovely hat, can you? which is exactly why artemis has a hat on! it's not a proper tophat, but rather a fascinator with lots of colourful feathers and pink netting - one and two. very extravagent. putting more colour to his costume is on his waistcoat, and this is a string with coloured buttons on it every so often, going from the waist pocket to the pocket on his breast. he also has a plain pocket watch, but that's tucked away in his pocket and you might not see it.
additionally, his eyeliner is a bit heavier than normal, and painted below his left eye is a red diamond. nails-wise, he's just painted them dark purple to go with his scarf.
outfits for artemis's pokemon include hestia as...mozilla firefox. that's right, she wanted to be a web browser. so, artemis sprayed parts of her tails white, and other bits yellow, tied a blue ribbon around her neck and attached a tinytiny globe of the world to it. hestia's really happy with this ball and she keeps managing to take it off and play with it.
hermes wanted to be a wizard, so he's wearing a black wizard's hat for halloween, along with a matching cape! at the tip of the hat hangs a tiny little flame decoration, which appears on the cape too where it connects.
clio... clio was probably the hardest, but after a while she came to the decision that she wanted to be an alligator! artemis couldn't really paint her green, but he did manage to find her some clothes for pokemon, so she's wearing a lots of green to cover up her orange, and artemis managed to make her a nice long alligator tail.
and that's it for artemis! i'd say sorry for going overboard but i'd be lying

Going with Odo for this one!
Odo is a flamboyant personality with an equally flamboyant style. If he’s going to dress up, he spares no expense or time. In this thread, Odo decided that Will needed to learn how to dance. They’re starting with classic dances that were popular in the Elizabethan and Romantic periods. Aaaaand a proper lesson is not complete without a proper costume! Atmosphere, ya know?
Bernadette, his volcarona, would be a bit difficult to put into a costume due to its wings and body shape. He would likely decorate her in matching gold glitter and give her this diadem. She shall always be his queen. <3

ELLIOT && NEBULA Elliot has never really had the chance to celebrate Halloween, and even now, he thinks Halloween is a pretty annoying holiday since he can't really understand why people would dress up as scary things for fun. But getting the chance to take off his Team Rocket outfit and put on something worth everyone's time to see, he would totally take the opportunity.
First part of this ensemble that you should set your eyes upon is his venetian MASK. The red color representing his alliance with Team Rocket, the gold trimming and glaze representing his wealthy heritage. The Music notes near the bottom of the mask represent his signature move, Perish Song. A beautifully terrible song that slowly kills everything that hears it's deadly notes. The golden swirls make a tale of the elegantly crafted prison that traps him in the darkness of his own heart.
The nest piece of his elegant attire is his VEST. Once again, the red is represented by his loyalty to Team Rocket. But this time the pinstripes are for something completely different. This is the illustration of his inner sanctuary. His Mind Palace. This is the very pit of Elliot's inner thoughts and emotions.
His COAT is rested over his shoulders unbuttoned, showing off his pinstripe vest. Need I say was the red stands for? -clears throat- However, I will tell you why it is hidden in undertone and only trims the garment. It is the shell that covers over him. The fake identity that keeps him so high in the authorities. While he is Loyal to Team Rocket, it is his ambitions and secret plans that holds his complete attention. This is what shows in his formal attire.
The CLOAK that covers him makes the illusion. This is his barrier. It hides him from the world. It is the cold front, the towering walls around him that keep everyone else out. This is the outer shell of his prison. The first walls that must be brought to their knees before the others can even been seen.
GLOVES are the last resort to his attempt at a visual barrier. While Elliot may truly interact with the world around him, and completely understand it, he is far from being a part of it. He will never know what it feels like to touch the cheek of a crying child, or to know the touch of soft Pokemon fur.
His BOOTS don't have much to represent, but they just happen to go with his outfit very well. The only other thing you should recognize about Elliot's costume is the very realistic pointed canines that show when his mouth opens.
Nebula will go as his complete opposite. She will be the moon. She will have a beautiful white MASK as well as snow white feathered WINGS to go along with her theme. Her tail, horn and claws will be powdered white and her eyes will be shadowed black. While the moon is a beautiful creation, it is not subject to kindness.. It is old, beautiful, and cold. Its beauty captivates and holds those as slaves. Nebula has become a beautiful but terrible creation.

*Drops in at the last moment like a boss* I want to enter my children ok?
My first bab is Kian, and while he normally would find this absurd, if its for the good of the team...
He will be going as Dantalian, the Great Duke of demons. He has over 30 demons under his commands, teaches all arts and sciences, and give and take away a person's capacity to love are a few things about this guy.
It isn't too far of a stretch for Kian. I mean, he has the personality down already. Other than the horns (we will get back to those), the most notable thing about him is the jewel in his cravat. It is a deep red and looks as if it has swirling skull faces swimming in its center. It is actually fake (big surprise), and its hollow insides was filled with a red fluid, then a black syrupy solvent substance was painted into the jewel. The holes were filled and it was left to sit in the cold, and thats how you make an evil soul gem thing.
The outfit is a solid blackish-gray lined with lavender and gold essentials. It comes with a gold crown and black cape with gold shoulder pads, but Kian found them too outrageous and impractical to wear. The horns on his head are a symbol enough to know he is some sort of demon. He has four of them. Two back ones spiraling inward like ram horns and two front ones pointing outwards like bull horns. It was actually rather simple to make him; he simply tied the back of his hair into a buns with ribbon and twisted the front of his hair with ribbon and kept the style set with a thin wax coating being poured over the ribbon surface. One might ask isn't this impractical as well, and he would answer no; wrapping your hair like that gives it volume when you unwrap it. In the end, he would only look more fabulous presentable once this is all done.
Telos is going as a radioactive symbol. The porygon Z is painted all black with his head positioned in front of the center of his body. The only part of them that isn't black is his yellow eyes and the thick yellow stripes painted on the side of his limbs. When he rotates and orbits them extremely fast around him, it creates the illusion of a yellow circle with three bars in it.
Anomie is going as pyramid head, which actually isn't as disturbing as it sounds because it just about fits him well. The blue of his body is painted over with grey to give it a sickly dull color. His electric pores are painted deep red, so when it glows it looks like fresh blood. Of course, he is wearing the well known pyramid shaped prism around his head and the bloodied half-apron as well. His tail is painted to be the cleaver, in which he seems to be oddly amused by....
Moving on from one freak show to another, we have Momoko, who is going as...electric Cleopatra...well, if anyone has any idea of what that is, please speak up. We are all as lost as I am? Good, then I'll just quickly move on to the outfit. As expected, it is a rather...unique outfit that I will try to explain(I don't have a picture, so gomen). The top is a black, upside-down v-cut halter top whose sides are adorned with gold and pink scales and drape past the waist and almost to the knees. The top is held together by tie around the neck and a symmetrical shaped gold lightning bolt that bands almost completely around her body and chains in the back like a necklace. Her pharaoh skirt is long and flowing adorned in pink and gold scales in the front and back, but above the knees at the side. Her shoes are the traditional gold sandals that have gold bands above her kneecaps where the skirt ends and are tied in crossing black lace. Adorned on her head is a king cobra shaped crown whose sides run in a zigzag lightning bolt shape before smoothing out in the back. The centerpiece of the crown, the cobra's head, has pink jewels for eyes. Underneath the crown, her own eyes have painted pink scales under them, in a lightning bolt shaped zigzag pattern. She has gotten rid of the usual cones and blue in her hair for downward flowing black, pink, and yellow hair and has gained a black,pink, and gold guitar. (I'm pretty sure thats historically accurate). Whatever she is trying to do, at least she is having fun doing it.
Devilkiss is going as a black cat. What most people don't notice is that crobats actually have tiny little feet. By using her bottom wings like back feet, her feet like front feet, and laying down her top wings to look like a tail, all she had to do was be painted black to pull of her look.
Spooks is going as gummymon. He is literally just painted mint green and has a green dog ear headband on his head. Who knew all you had to do to make a ghost pokemon not creepy was to paint it a bright color?
