An Offering of Ice and Stone!
Description: Snowpoint City is known to be a beautiful winter-wonderland almost all year round, save a month in summer, and Candice has taken a full commitment since her school days to maintain not only its beauty, but its cultural history. Picky, she only wants to challenge Trainers who respect the traditions of Northern Sinnoh by completing one specific challenge: make an offering to the Snowpoint Temple. Go to the Temple and speak to the man guarding it, and once inside, you will find a pile of specially marked stones. However, an Abomasnow guards the pile too; perhaps this may not be a walk in the park like you were expecting. Find a way to convince the Abomasnow to let you take a stone by whatever means, make the offering, and return to Candice in the city.
Rewards: An invitation to battle Candice, the Ice-type Gym Leader, 5BP, and 1 Rare Candy (+1 win). (All only obtainable once.)
Restrictions: None

Dallas read the description on this random piece of paper that seemed to show up out of no where. He looked around for anyone suspicious who might've dropped it off. "Guess I'll do this first if I want that gym battle... mmm" Dallas tucked the note in his pocket and made his way through several feets of snow. As he arrived to the temple, he noticed a well covered person sitting outside, sipping lemonade. ((That must be the guar-- is he really drinking lemonade in this cold?)) Dallas approached the man. "Ummmm, so like I'm suppose to go in here and like make a sacrifice or something, can I go do that." The guard looked at Dallas up and down. He scoffed and gestured towards the inside of the temple. "Thanks a mill xo"
Dallas was in. All was going according to plan. As he continued walking he finally managed to make it to the specially marked stones. Before going any further, he scanned the room for the Abomasnow. "Hmm.. Welp, seems like the coast is clea-" immediately as soon as he turned to walk towards the stones, he bumped into the guard Abomasnow. Dallas blew air through his nose and back up slowly. "Hey there big guy. Whaddya say you let me get one of those stones to-" Dallas quickly took out the piece of paper from earlier with the mission description to read it over. "-make an unselfish offering." Abomasnow did not look amused. It roared and looked like it was preparing to use an attack. "W-WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT" Dallas shielded himself from the Abomasnow and took out a cookie or some treat from his bag that he got from the cafe he visited on his way to Snowpoint. He didn't really feel like fighting (a Wild Pokemon anyways) at the moment. Abomasnow stopped it's attack and sniffed the treat. It was curious. It took the treat from Dallas and chewed it well. "Phew" Dallas unclenched his cheeks and took out more treats. "Here, take as many as you'd like." Dallas sat on the temple floor and took a quick breather, taking out a thermos and pouring some hot sweet beverage into a cup. He took one of the treats for himself and began venting to Abomasnow. Abomasnow seemed to calm down more and just sat and listened to Dallas vent for at least 26 minutes or so.
"--and thats why I hate Ghost types." Abomasnow blinked. It then got up and walked away. "Mm... must've been it's bed time. I guess I'll try for the stones tomorrow or somethin'" As Dallas was packing away his items, Abomasnow returned with one stone and a rare candy, holding them out to Dallas. Dallas did a tiny gasp. "For lil ol' mwe?" Abomasnow nodded. Dallas received the needed offering stone! "Thanks buddy 
" Dallas gave Abomasnow a thumbs up and made his way deeper into the temple.
" Dallas gave Abomasnow a thumbs up and made his way deeper into the temple.After walking a ways into the temple, Dallas placed the stone where it looked like it needed to go. He gave a moment of silence and simple made his way back out. Once he arrived back outside, the guard met him with a handshake. "Congratulations for passing the trial young lad, we can now have that gym battle whenever you're ready!" Dallas allowed for the handshake to go on longer than it needed to. "Thanks I- wait huh?"
The guard removed their sunglasses, scarf, and fake guard disguise, revealing themselves to be none other than Candice, the gym leader. "Thats right Challenger! I'll see you at my gym, so come prepared!!" Dallas stared as she walked away.
