==Background==
==Background==
'''Totem Gumshoos''' is the Totem of Verdant Cavern. The trial begins as soon as the player enters Verdant Cavern; however, they can leave at any time, although this will reset the trial. Once the trial guide has stepped aside to grant access to the Totem's Den, the player can leave at any time without resetting the trial. In this trial, the player must find and battle two Yungoos and a Gumshoos. Along the way, the player will face two Team Skull Grunts and battle one of them; once defeated, the two grunts will unwittingly help the player finish the trial. Despite not officially being part of the trial, the grunts act as if they are, resetting when the trial is reset. In the battle with the Totem Pokémon, it will call its ally on its first turn; once the ally is defeated, the Totem Pokémon cannot call it again. After defeating the Totem Pokémon, the player will be greeted by Ilima for completing the trial and will receive a Normalium Z as a reward. After completing the trial, wild Pokémon will appear in Verdant Cavern as both ambush encounters and cave tile encounters.
'''Preparation''' is defined as a character's ability to increase their capabilities significantly. Generally, in the presence of sufficient time, resources and conditions. An example of preparation would be how normal humans are merely weak by themselves, but they can make weapons that can destroy cities with preparation. However, preparation is also an optional addition to [[Versus Threads]] as while a character doesn't have to be given preparation, many of them benefit from it or cannot invent gadgets with preparation.

Batman can fight Superman with preparation

Background

Preparation is defined as a character's ability to increase their capabilities significantly. Generally, in the presence of sufficient time, resources and conditions. An example of preparation would be how normal humans are merely weak by themselves, but they can make weapons that can destroy cities with preparation. However, preparation is also an optional addition to Versus Threads as while a character doesn't have to be given preparation, many of them benefit from it or cannot invent gadgets with preparation.

Types

  • Education: - Education is the ability to learn skills or knowledge that a character would not know or would improve. An example of this would be a Slugger training in another form of boxing so that they can counter a Counterpuncher style.
  • Evolution: - Evolution is the ability to adapt, grow, and become stronger before fighting an opponent. An example of this would be a character training before a battle in order to get stronger or even become passively stronger over time.
  • Technological Preparation: - Technological preparation is the ability to create gadgets, tools, weapons, etc. in order to help in combat. An example of this would be a scientist who is Human level but can make Planet level technology.
  • Information Preparation: - Information Preparation is the ability to gain information on the opponent before the battle starts. An example of this would be a character being able to find out his opponent's weaknesses.
