We are the ones that fight for the world, striking at the evil when they least expect.

We are the Agents of the Shadows.

It looks like a normal business building from the outside; not really what you expected from the confidential letter you were mysteriously sent. It was pretty tall; you counted somewhere around twelve stories. It could've been a tall building in Saffron City. But the address is definitely correct, so you enter through the door.
Still looks like an office for some sort of company. All the standard office equipment is here; a main desk, chairs, cabinets, etc. You wonder if there was a mistake made, as you double check your letter. Nope, you're at the right place. And the letter says to take the elevator to floor seven. You do so, and the elevator moves on up. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEEEEEP. The elevator stops, and the door opens.
A crazy sight awaits you. No more office building layout. More like a control room you'd see in a sci-fi movie. As you walk out of the elevator, you visibly gape at the dark walls illuminated by hundreds of colorful, blinking lights coming from various pieces of computer equipment. There are at least six screens above every computer system, with views of various locations around the world. You almost don't even notice someone walking over to you.


Welcome to the headquarters of the Agents of the Shadows. Sorry if the office on the first floor was underwhelming; we are the real deal.
Our mission is to rid the world of evil. We do so by striking during the night; when the enemies least expect us. After all, you can't prepare for something you don't expect.
Obviously, the police force are technically the ones to do our job. But to be honest, we've caught more criminals than them, and have had more overall success.
You may ask yourself, "Why haven't I heard of you guys then?" We do all this all completely in secret. We mask our resolutions in a variety of ways. For example, have you heard of that well known shooter that was in the news a few days ago because he had a heart attack and died? That's not what happened. We executed him, and our members made it look like he simply just had a heart attack. Speaking of which, if you don't join us, we're going to have to fix your memory before you go.
So what are you thinking? Interested in becoming an agent of the shadows?

I have our team application submitted here. (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?17564-PXFIRE-Season-2-Team-Applications&p=278072&viewfull=1#post278072) I hope to see us play our hardest.

When the events start, I would like to see you guys set a goal for yourself every week, if possible, and post it here. If you're busy, I understand, and won't count it against you. My original thought was giving out missions for each of you, but you guys know what you are capable of more then I do. I might even make a whole point system, so if you reach your goal for a week you can rank up.

Now that that's all said, anyone for Shrek Smash n' Crash Racing on the lobby's PlayStation 2?

So just a few quick notes.

I'll be judging Showdown, which means I will not be able to participate in it.

Also, if someone capable wants to make user bars, that'd be cool! No worries if that doesn't happen, maybe I'll try to whip something up with my amazing art skills.

Why you want to be an Agent of the Shadows: You are a team of secret agents, so you must have a secret toilet somewhere. If a toilet is secret, it means that few people use it. If few people use your toilet, it means that your toilet must be cleaner than the other teams' toilets... Right? xD

A pretty good start for week one! Cleobel and I took all 100 points for Humor, which is extremely helpful. We made fierce competition in the Showdown section, getting 48 points (plus another 20 for me judging). Caption Contest is being redone, but I think our three captions will end up scoring well based on the original results.

I definitely would've liked to make a submission for Creative Writing and Comics, but I was not able to. Cleobel did hook us up with seven points in Creative Writing though, so kudos to her! I'm going to at least try to get something going in Comics, since all the other teams were in that.

Overall, pretty happy. I think we did a pretty good job, taking into account the sheer numbers of the Avalon Apostles. We definitely have minor places we could have done more, but we at least put up a good fight I think. Keep doing what you're doing, everyone!

First three weeks are over. I wasn't able to do much for week three because of vacation, which is a shame because there were a lot of other entries.

I really want to win this, so let's keep fighting!
