The Ransei challenge is a challenge to follow the path of the Hero of Ransei, Emperor Hiro's rise to power and how he united Ransei. You must first take on the current warlord of Aurora and his/her warriors. Then you may move to challenge the warlord of Ignis and his/her warriors. If you lose to Ignis you must return to Aurora and again face the warriors of that region, if you at any time lose to the Aurora warriors you are booted from the challenge and must wait a year to try again. If you beat the Ignis warriors you then may challenge either Greenleaf or Fontaine if you lose to one of them move back to Ignis, and if you win challenge the last city. You will then be able to challenge Violight, Chrysalia, and Pugilis. If you lose to any of them move back to a city you've defeated and challenge the warriors there this is what always happens when you lose. You may then move to challenge either Terrera or Illusio. When you beat one other will count as defeated. You will then have access to the cities of Avia, Cragspur, Viperia, and Yaksha. After these three cities you will be able to advance to the cities of Valora, Nixtorm, and Spectra. After this you will be able to go to the fortress city of Dragnor which was once controlled by Nobunaga. If you are able to defeat the warriors of Dragnor you can return to Aurora to face the Current Emperor and if you defeat him and the warriors he commands you will win an amazing and rare prize but is you lose you'll be eliminated from the Ransei challenge and have to wait a year to reenter. To challenge the Emperor is completely optional. You may only access the facilities of a city when you've captured it. Wild Pokemon are known to appear in certain areas of the cities such as farms, parks, caves, mountains, crystal islands, and Ravines. Warning: If you should be forced back to one of your captured cities one of the uncaptured cities may send warriors to aid the warriors of that city. Example: you're attacking Fontaine but lose and are forced back to Ignis. When you face The Ignis warriors they may have warriors from Greenleaf or/and Fontaine in their ranks to aid them in battle.
The rules for a Ransei Battle are quite similar to a regular battle. The team to lose all its pokemon first or surrender loses. The differences are that there are one to six warriors/trainers per team on the battle field at once. Each person is limited to one pokemon each. Warriors are restricted to using their abilities once per battle. If a pokemon is withdrawn from battle it is counted as a personal withdraw and that person is eliminated. Some moves are changed or banded from participation. To physically attack the trainers or warriors is forbidden and if done the offender will permanently be eliminated from the challenge. Competitors are limited to one item use per battle.
Ransei tourist information-The Ransei region uses rare or precious metals as their currency and therefore do not readily accept pokedollors. The three metals used in their currency are iron, silver, and gold forged into small coins.
The currency exchange rate is as follows-
1 Iron=5 Poke
1 Silver=5 Iron=15 Poke
1 Gold= 10 Silver= 50 Iron= 150 Poke
The people of Ransei have a zero tolerance policy for foreigner's criminal activity. When a foreigner is found to have committed a crime and found guilty the punishment is always to be permanently banned from entering Ransei controlled lands. There are seventeen different sectors of the Ransei homeland that are divided between 18 Warlords. These areas are then divided into smaller districts that are controlled by that are controlled by people selected by the warlord called governors. The first warrior is the leader of all the others and is the Emperor and resides in the Imperial Citadel located in Aurora. The Emperor is responsible for federal laws while the local warlords are responsible for city laws. Aurora as the Imperial capital is home to a warlord and the Emperor. Depending on the Warlord will affect the types of laws and which are enforced more than others. You can tell what Warlord you're dealing with by the color of the arresting soldier's armor which is colored after their cities banners. Ransei does not have civilian police force so they use the local defense garrison as their police force.

Information Index: Warrior-A Warrior is an individual who can create a mental link with his pokemon, they can therefore communicate with their bonded pokemon with their minds. They do not use pokeballs to contain their pokemon as bonded pokemon are considered citizens of Ransei. Each warrior has an ability called a warrior skill that can change the flow of battle, what this ability is depends on their skill, place in society, and that warriors own evolution level. Warriors are capable of evolving like their pokemon if certain conditions are met. Most warriors can only evolve to a rank two warrior only the most powerful of warriors can achieve a rank three. Rank three warriors are rare but extremely powerful and should be avoided. When a warrior evolves their appearance, warrior skill, and states may change. Warriors have much more influence over their pokemon than normal trainers. These influences include combat ability, personality, and their states. If a warrior proves that they are capable they may be promoted to warlord and be allowed to lead other warriors or soldiers into combat, be put in charge of a sector, and be allowed to lead missions into the unknown region. Warriors are often stronger than normal trainers due to them being raised and trained in harsher environments. Ransei is the place where warriors first appeared and are quite common. All warriors born in other regions can trace their bloodline back to the Ransei region. Warning: There are groups of Warriors that roam the world without a warlord looking for a challenge, face these individuals at your own risk because they are beyond the control of the empire once they leave the shores of Ransei.
Information Index: Hero's Festival- This is a month long festival held every year in Ransei to celebrate the unification of Ransei under Emperor Hiro aka the Hero of Ransei. The festival is technically held in Emperor Hiro's home town of Aurora, there are minor festivals are held throughout Ransei. The Main festival is fills the capital with traveling merchants, wandering warriors returning home to celebrate, a huge city wide battle tournament, a massive two hundred pokemon city wide brawl, games, attractions, side shows, and some of the best chiefs in the world. This festival can become quite crazy as thousands of Ransei citizens return home from all over the world. It is not uncommon for those Ransei citizens that can't get home to hold small but often rowdy celebrations. It is said that even ten miles out of range of the capital that the Ransei national anthem. Warning: The people of Ransei do not take kindly to those who would disturb their revels as they rarely celebrate anything and this is the only time when their permitted to drink freely.
Information Index: The People-The people of Ransei are a tight knit group who readily give themselves for the better of the nation. They are a people of tradition as well as advancement. Ransei has only suffered invasion by a foreign power twice and both times the invaders have been repulsed. The reason for this is that nearly all Ransei citizens are trained to fight so the standing army of Ransei is only a small fraction of their actual military strength. The Ransei people's loyalties are difficult to sway once they've been given but they will nearly always choose to support one of their own people over anyone else.
Information Index: The Royal Family-The Royal family of Ransei can trace their bloodline back to the founder of the empire the Hero of Ransei Emperor Hiro, his wife Oichi, and Oichi's brother Nobunaga. As long as this bloodline survives there will always be one of their descendants on the throne. This line has waned throughout the years leaving only three known descendants The Emperor David Sanderson, The Shogun Anthony Doede, and General Colton Doede these people are known as the Three Descendants. All other members of the royal family are part of it through marriage. The Crown Prince is Anthony Doede. They are always some of the most powerful warriors in Ransei and are often associated with the legendary pokemon that were once wielded by the Warlords of the Emperor Hiro Era. Warning: The Three Descendants are highly beloved by the people of Ransei and any insult to them will be met by anger from the people.
