The Legendary Guardians

[Ninetales]

Legendary Pokemon have been present amidst the other Pokemon in the world since, well, the beginning of time. They have long since been sought after by Pokemon trainers and researchers alike, and were always regarded as beings of wonder and power. But what some people may not know is that every year, all the legendary Pokemon from all over the world come to the same spot to hold a special conference. This Birth Island Conference, named after its location in Arceus' lair, was a way for the legendary Pokemon to meet with each other and tell about the year's happenings and news. It was in fact because of this conference that Kyogre and Groudon didn't react as harshly as they should have to the Red and Blue Orbs obtained by Teams Magma and Aqua in the past, as they were told that the orbs had reappeared. But that was a past event--now there are other issues.

One of those issues is a new legendary Pokemon that has been discovered--one that Arceus didn't create, quite suspiciously. This Pokemon was Virtualmon, a small and elusive creature that presided over anything digital. Virtualmon created the digital aspects of the world, so it has been said, and is rumoured to be responsible for the fact that Pokemon can evolve and be kept in Pokeballs. It was discovered in a chamber right underneath Mossdeep City, oddly enough, but that's not the point. For the other legendaries weren't the only ones who heard about Virtualmon...

Also recently came the merging of two evil organisations, both of which were based in the Kanto region. (But they operated in the other regions as well.) One was the newly formed Team Alpha, whose acts included using certain technologies and DNA mutations to enhance their Pokemon, and wiping opponents out in competitions such as the Pokemon League. (Ever since Team Alpha started, three Indigo League winners in a row came from that team, all by easy victories.) Then there was the E-Gang, a quartet of computer hackers. The E-Gang may have not seemed like much, but they recently discovered "some sort of powerful digital presence" beneath Mossdeep City, Hoenn. But supposedly, one of Team Alpha's Porygon-Z's sensed this digital presence as well, so there was a debate over who discovered it first. But rather than fight about it, Team Alpha and the E-Gang decided to cooperate on the issue--they were not as dumb as previous organisations like Teams Rocket, Magma, and Aqua, who frequently fought against other organisations or amongst themselves. So they formed a plan to take over the world through the use of the legendaries--Team Alpha would use DNA from the legendaries to enhance their own Pokemon to dangerous extremes, and the E-Gang would hack right into Virtualmon and therefore take control of anything digital. Together, those two things would place the world into evil hands...

In fact, they have already taken possession of three legendary Pokemon hiding in Hoenn: Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. This caused a massive news outbreak worldwide...

The legendaries, having heard about the fusion of the E-Gang and Team Alpha as well as their plan to take over the world, met at the next and most recent Birth Island Conference to discuss these issues, as well as the discovery of Virtualmon. What were they to do? Fight? Hide? Erm... something else? Well, eventually they came up with a plan of their own, a plan unknown to the rest of the world (even Virtualmon). They had to hide in order to prevent their DNA from being used, but they had to fight or else Team Alpha would continue to grow--so they did both in a way. Arceus created 26 islands that formed a circle around all the other continents, one for each legendary Pokemon. (Mewtwo, Virtualmon, and the Regi trio were left out for reasons discussed later.) Arceus itself went far out into outer space and vanished... while the other legendaries went to their respective islands. But wait--if they hid out there, how would they fight against Team Alpha and the E-Gang? Well, the legendaries all left copies of themselves behind on Birth Island--baby forms of themselves. So what were 26 baby legendaries to do against this evil coalition?

Pokemon trainers. Ultimately, the fate of all this would rest with them. As soon as the baby legendary Pokemon were born, they each selected a specific person to find--that person would become destined to (hopefully) prevent Team Alpha (I'll just assume the E-Gang became part of the team) from taking over the world... These individuals would be the official "guardians" of the legendaries...

In other news...

The Pokemon World recently saw the simultaneous deaths of Professors Oak and Rowan. Of course, were they really dead? People discovered their wills but not their bodies... Well, before we start assuming anything... Soon after, new Pokemon professors replaced the old ones. Practically the next day, Rowan's nephew, Professor Maple, picked up from where he left off--giving starting Pokemon to trainers, etc. But he didn't get much attention, as Kanto became the region of main focus within the past year. This wasn't only due to the formation of Team Alpha--it was also because of Professor Oak's replacement...

Professor Willow got some attention because she was the youngest person to acquire such a title, but there was also the refurbishment of her laboratory. She ended up giving up all of Professor Oak's outdoor lab space, and instead developing a sort of virtual environment for boxed Pokemon to roam around in. But she also developed "Pokevices". A Pokevice was an improved Pokedex, with a map, an item database, and even a phone call feature, among other things. (Imagine a Pokedex, Pokenav, and Poketch fused together.) It even contained a small compartment that stored the Pokeballs that held a trainer's party Pokemon, to make it easier to send out and recall Pokemon, and to prevent losing their Pokeballs. There was so much hype about these Pokevices that it diverted the attention from the bigger problems listed above...

Another news flash it distracted from was the appearance of a mysterious satellite orbiting the planet while staying directly over Mossdeep City...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~

Speaking of Professor Willow, one day she got a letter from a mysterious group called the "Uma Sisters". The letter went something like this:

Deep below you lies a secret
Solemn though it may well be
The fates seem determined to keep it
Hidden safe from you and me.

A message from our divination
Came to us to tell you this:
There's a cure from this complication
Which you can't afford to miss.

The fates have given us some names
And have called upon them so
Now they come to play these games
You shall show them where to go.

So you shall help them start
Before on a journey they're gone
Free the legends in their heart
Give them each a Pokemon.

Below this was a list of the "names" these sisters spoke of. Anyways, after reading this letter, Professor Willow went over to her desk to find some of her Pokevices, each with a note attached with each person's name on it. Hmm, okay, so she was to give these people Pokevices--predictable enough. But why would she need to give Pokemon to trainers who (probably) already have Pokemon? It was then she made an interesting discovery--each Pokevice contained a Pokemon--a legendary Pokemon!

You are one of those individuals who the legendaries have chosen--who knows how the elusive Uma Sisters could have known about this... Each legendary sent the message to come to Professor Willow's lab, in the form of a dream. You are about to embark on a Pokemon journey. But it's not just a journey. It's a mission to save the world from the clutches of evil...

SIGNUP FORM

Name:
Age: You can be anywhere from 8 to 80 years old
Gender:
Appearance:
Personality:
^^Try to be especially descriptive in these two fields.
History: Remember that nobody knows about the legendaries' plan yet (except maybe those Uma Sisters...?), nor that they have been chosen as the "guardian" of a legendary Pokemon.
Legendary: What legendary Pokemon has chosen your character? Only one person per legendary please, and the following legendaries are NOT allowed:
-Mewtwo (It's basically a clone of Mew, so it doesn't count. Mew is allowed though.)
-Regirock/Regice/Registeel (They were taken captive by Team Alpha before the most recent Birth Island Conference. Regigigas is allowed though.)
-Only one person can pick Deoxys, even though it has three forms.
-Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf (These three have decided to defy the plan, just as they defied Arceus in the past. So they'll play a special role...)
-Arceus (Arceus disappeared into deep space before having the chance to duplicate itself.)
-Virtualmon (Virtualmon never even attended any of the conferences anyways, so it doesn't know of the plan.)
Pokemon: You may take 0-5 Pokemon with you (the sixth Pokemon is your Legendary, which you receive at the start of the RPG). I'll only allow one of them to be shiny, and no giving your Pokemon attacks they can't learn. And none of these five (or fewer) Pokemon can be legendary. If you want, you can include each Pokemon's personality, history, little details about their appearance, etc.

Notes

-Your character cannot have any special powers or anything.
-Your character's personality and such does not have to match or even resemble that of your Legendary. The Legendaries picked these people seemingly at random...
-Even though this is a Pokemon journey, we don't have to all stay in one group all the time... but we will all start from the same location.
-Just for a quick visualisation, Virtualmon is about the same size as Shaymin, and looks like this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/qingrila/virtualmon.jpg).
-This RPG will take place, erm... shortly after Ash's journey through Sinnoh... so Teams Magma, Aqua, and Galactic have disbanded. And Team Rocket isn't as active as it was before...
-Signups will close when all legendaries are taken (that's 23 people), but we'll start the RPG way before all those spots are filled. At some point late in the RPG though, I might close the signups and allow the other spots to be filled in with NPC's...
-I'll sign up just before the RPG starts, to allow you to pick any legendary you choose. (After all, chances are the legendary I'd pick now would be the favourite of some of you...)

The RPG Report
(Where the RPG currently is heading)

-Everyone who hasn't posted yet has to head to Professor Willow's lab in Pallet Town, get their Pokevice, and then... I'll deal with you after you post.

-Some of the Guardians are still at Professor Willow's lab, including Addie, Sora, Seras, and Xia.

-Danny and Jacob are in the Pokemon Centre in Viridian City.

-Derek, Sharky, Jemima, Ethan, Gon, and Toby are currently in the outskirts of Viridian City. Derek just finished a battle with a Team Alpha member. Hopefully this will be one big group heading to Indigo Plateau to investigate the situation there... But the situation is more than murder--a sparkly blue A appeared in the sky just above the Indigo Stadium, clearly the mark of Team Alpha.

-Rin is at a lake just outside Viridian City, and has encountered Lupin. Both of them are currently in a double battle with two Team Alpha members, Gabe and Emily, both of which are using legendary Pokemon...

-Bobby has just encountered one, maybe two strange-looking and suspicious people in the Power Plant...

-In Cinnabar Island, Isaac, Candice, and Panther have discovered the identity of the muffin clown at last--it was Uxie in disguise! Uxie got away though, and the group was somehow transported to a strange city...

Current NPC's
(side characters I've created to help this RPG along)

Professor Willow: She's the creator of the Pokevices, and the one who technically gave our characters their legendary Pokemon. Currently she's at her lab in Pallet Town, waiting for the other Guardians to arrive, and for those already there to leave...

Carmen and Diego: This rather showy duo is up to something in the Power Plant... well, Bobby will just have to find out what! Maybe they could be performing a rock concert for a bunch of Pikachu, who knows... Yeah, what Pikachu wouldn't want to see a pink-haired punk rocker and a dude with a blond mohawk turn on some cheap disco lights and rock it!!??

Panther: Apparently the Guardian of Latias and a collector of Psychic-type Pokemon. She may look like a comical superhero on a motorcycle (a powerful one, giving how she rode straight through and shattered a concrete wall), but she's currently with Isaac, Candice, and her little brother in Cinnabar Island.

Lupin: Who is this man in black? Not even Rin completely knows... Well, actually, there is a rather surprising secret about him that has yet to be revealed... For now, it seems suspicious, because it looks like he knows Gabe and Emily, as well as Carmen and Diego and the nature of the Power Plant incident. Also he has a peculiar-looking Pokevice. He seems to have a friend named Merlin as well, whoever he is...

Gabe: A member of Team Alpha. This Skitty-loving "macho man" has a weird miniature version of Regirock... but we don't know much else yet.

Emily: A deranged little girl with large overalls and orange hair and terrible grammar... Don't be fooled. She's apparently in Team Alpha as well, and has Azelf under control with some sort of device on its headband. Did I not mention she keeps it in a Master Ball as well?

Adrian: A coordinator with a Buizel with a black collar and floaty-thingies. He seems to be a rather snobbish and grumpy person, and likes to pick on younger boys. In fact, he's currently picking on Kazu by dragging him into the Viridian Contest Hall and demanding a contest battle...

[Brad]

[Zimvee]

[LaurenLOVESTONED]

may i please reserve mew and i will post a character sheet later? thank you muchly :)

[Got-a-Plan-B]

Here's my signup. I hope its good.

Name: Isaac Rendell
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: See trainer card for basic idea, but I will give some extra details anyway.
Issac stands at roughly 5"8 and weighs in at barely 145 pounds. Slim yet fit, Isaac stands strong and proud. Obviously, Issac dresses rebellious with a punkish theme which carries into his personality (getting to that later). His blonde bangs hide his emerald eyes that possesses a dose of individuality and desire for change and freedom. His clothes, while unique are well kept and neat, which gives the sense Isaac cares about his appearance and hygiene. His hair despite mostly covered by his hat is always neat and styled, giving the impression he may be cocky about his "perfect hair". Overall, he can be described as physically appealing to most, if not, all females and captures the essence of cool which men desire for their own sake.

Personality: Isaac, at his best, confident to the point of containing hubris though he doesn't always show it. Cocky to a fault, Isaac is a man who never admits defeat to anyone, even if its obvious his lost miserably. He also has a deep hatred for authority of any kind, coming mostly from his history with his parents. As a result, he hates large groups, corporations, etc. He proves to be optimistic and freedom-loving, enjoying his life with anyone, anywhere, anytime. Past this, Isaac is pretty regular though slightly emotional. He is kind to those that can stand him and completely rude to others. Issac tends to be disrespectful to most people, unless they show him a decent amount themselves. Issac is also a womanizer, often getting himself in numerous relationships, even though most ended poorly (he claims that's their problem or they couldn't handle the heat). Occasionally with a lawsuit. At his worst, Issac can be emo and depressed though he never sheds a tear mostly coming from the past or in a less severe case rejection from girls.

Extra: Issac is usually seen with a music device plugged into his ears, playing incredibly loud music. Issac has also has a small criminal record mostly for minor charges in Hoenn.

History (The fun, but hard part): Issac comes from the region of Hoenn in which his parents chose to live in the village of Littleroot Town. Originally from Kanto, Isaac originally had a great relationship with his parents until the move when he was 7 when they made the shift from perfection to pure animals. He suffered abuse from them for no apparent reason (though he believes it is because they thought he was flawed in some manner), especially from his father. At 10, Issac got the guts to run away from home and never come back. He got lost early and soon fainted in the middle of the Petalburg Woods. He woke to find himself helped by a Mystery trainer. While he never discovered his name, the man gave him an Eevee and wished him luck on "discovering himself." Isaac was stunned by the kindness, something he rarely experienced. With a newfound pokemon, Isaac tried training and battling. It made him feel independent and powerful, a feeling he never felt but the high it got from it caused him to experience confidence he lacked beforehand. With his natural ability for battling discovered, Issac took the Hoenn challenge and made into the league only to make it to the top 8.
Legendary: Palkia
Pokemon:
1) Umbreon
Umbreon is obviously Isaac's starter. Unlike his master, Umbreon is mellow and respectful. However, Umbreon is very loyal and is more than willing to obey his master to the ends of the earth.
2) Raichu
Found as a Pikachu in the Hoenn Safari Zone, Raichu tends to exert more qualities in common with Isaac. It is a confident pokemon who believes in its power, all the while being a troublemaker.
3)Kingdra
Acquired in a trade for Issac's formerly owned Swellow (which was shiny), Kingdra became Isaac's main battler in Hoenn due its superior power. Kingdra is unusually proud and cocky. Despite that, Kingdra has proven to be reliable and powerful during Issac's adventure.
4)Tyrantiar
Issac came across an egg while in Lavaridge. The egg eventually hatched into Larvitar. It has recently evolved into Tyrantiar and has since become difficult to control. The pokemon has outstanding amounts of power however frequently refuses to listen to Isaac unless it deems the opponent to be worthy to experience its wrath. As a result, he displays anger and rage when summoned.
5) Staraptor
Issac came across the fully-evolved bird in the Safari Zone in Hoenn as well by a chance encounter. Difficult to catch, however easy to control, she has become loyal and reliable and possibly the most calm of all Issac's pokemon. As a result, it is used on lots of occasions against weaker opponents.

Any changes that are needed, I will make accordingly.

[GhostPrincess]

Name: Rin Kinamoto
Age: about 17
Gender: Female
Apperance: At first glance Rin would appear frail and weak do to her pale skin, and she is. She has been always been in weak in health.Rin has an elegant dmeneor around her.She is often seen whering midnight blue turtle neck with long sleeves and black jeans. She wheres black laced high healed boots and is never seen whering any other shoes.She has long dark hair and her eyes are a frail pink maybe violet. She stands about 5"9 and weights onl 100-110 pounds due to her weak health.

History: As mentioned above Rin was born in frail and weak health.As she got older though she was able to walk outside more often but she kept her pale white skin.Her parents often grew tired of her and the numerous medical bills that they had to pay and often thought it was a "forced" love. One day they grew mad at her and whipped her till she had deep cuts. Rin never spoke of it but she still often has flashbacks and has emotional breakdowns everyso often. Her voice has now become fragile and weak and she rarely speaks, if she does speak it only to her pokemon and to give battle commands for battles. Rin never had any friends at all and she never wanted any..She was afraid that she would burst out crying and tell that person everything and then she would make everything worse. The beating continued till she was 13 and then she decided enough was enough. She received a starter and started on a journey to be a Pokemon Coordinater. She hass since one several ribbons and one grand festival trophy.

Personality: Rin is cold and indifferent to everyone accept her pokemon. She hates being flirted with and has a very bad temper. If you try to be her friend she'll push you away like your nothing. She'll only laugh if its for sarcasism or to make a witty remark. Many people have tried to becoem her friend but she pushed them away with cold and indifference.

[Darkly_the_flygon]

Name: Darkly (not his real name. you will find that out later)

Age: 27

Gender: MALE

Appearance: he wears a purple hat that looks like riley's from D/P, and has hair that looks like your rival's from r/b/y. he has a long black coat and does not use pokeballs. his pokemon always stay outside of their pokeballs. His eyes are a pirceing green and oddly hypnotizing. he can communicate with pokemon, and has extremly pale white skin.

Personality: he has sort of a twisted personality, but he really cares about pokemon and enters them in contests instead of battles, so they don't get hurt. he has always had an interest in time, and one day wishes to control it. he is closer to this goal than he thinks (look at his legend)

History: he grew up in eterna city. he constantly visited the dialga statue and wondered if that pokemon could be real. one day, he set off on a journey to fnd dialga.

Legendary: Dialga

Pokemon:
Glitchy(porygon z, shiny)
glitchy is his only pokemon, he is level 60

[Lucien Lachance]

Name: Sora

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance: Sora has mid length red (red being actual red, not orange) hair which then spikes out in all directions; a pair of orange goggles keeps the overly large bangs at bay and thus prevents them from falling into her emerald eyes. She has a well built body with a lightly tanned complexion and a warm and trusting look about her. Her wardrobe consists of an Orange crop top, worn atop a black crop top and a pair of three-quarter length jeans. Upon her feet she wears a pair of black vans with orange laces and a three-quarter length black leather jacket that’s shows off the hem of her crop top, this sometimes is thrown around her waste. A long, orange thread of material wraps itself snuggly around her neck and this matches the coloring of her tongue, ear and bellybutton piercings. Her forearms are adorned by elbow high, fingerless black gloves and joining the orange thread around her neck is a shark tooth on a string, given to her by a family member. She wears a small orange backpack for her supplies and a few chains hang from the studded black belts around her waist (two in total). There are two triangular markings on each of Sora cheeks which are colored orange and black, its seems that these are permanently tattooed on her face and Sora herself doesn’t even know where they came from.

Personality: Outgoing and determined, Sora is full to the brim with bravery and a joyful outlook on life. She refuses to give up, even when it seems hopeless to carry on. She comes across as loyal, friendly and perhaps a little cocky, but not overly so. She is more than willing to give her life for others and perhaps can be considered a little too trusting for her own good as well as a little gullible. She would rebel to the very end to stand up for what she believes is right and would stick by her friends and companions no matter what the outcome may be, she does not take well to those who mock loyalty or those who are prone to double crossing and wouldn’t spare a thought to anyone who fools with her.

Sora can be a little loud and in your face and is defiantly one of those people who you either love or hate. She will always speak her mind, not really caring whether it hurts other peoples feelings because she believes in being honest and true, but she doesn’t intend to make people feel bad, in fact she gets a little confused when people loose they’re temper on her just for telling them the plain truth. Though she does tend to rely on her gut more than her head, she is in fact quite intelligent and is perhaps overly cautious of her surroundings whilst still being one to just charge in. Her reflexes are above average because of her love for video games and she always knows the types of places to look out for traps or be weary. In all honesty Sora treats life as one big video game and enjoys it to its fullest.

Unfortunately every rose has its thorns and Sora is a prime example of a split personality. If people are on the right side of her she is friendly, lovable and completely adorable in some people’s eye. Cross her and you will get the complete opposite. Sora is very prone to loosing her temper when things don’t go the way she plans or someone really gets on her nerves or upsets her. Instead of letting the tears fall, she will go on a rampage and throw every insult and cure towards her offender.

History: Sora grew up in Kanto, Cinnabar Island to be more precise. She started her Pokemon adventure when she was ten and traveled Kanto as her first mission, she ranked rather highly in the Pokemon League with her Growlithe, Golduck, Hitmonlee, Scyther, Pidgeotto and Raichu but never actually won it. Happy with her attempts at the Pokemon league she traveled then to Johto where she carried out the same task, catching an arrey of colorful Pokemon and starting a new team to face off at the Johto league, these consisted of: Growlithe, Houndour, Flaffy, Crocodile, Noctowl and Scizor. She got even higher with this attempt and then decided to call it quits with the Pokemon leagues when she arrived at Hoeen. She had gone there to continue with her dream of becoming a Pokemon master, but a side quest that came about in Fortree city lead to her becoming a Pokemon Ranger. A ranger had happened to by pass her on his way to an emergency call in the mountains, it just so happened that Sora was going the same way as this ranger and happened to fall upon him again later on. It seemed that a Stantler had gotten itself wedged on a mountain side, only moment away from death. Sora rushed forward to try and aid the ranger in rescuing the poor Pokemon and called forth Pidgeot and Scizor to lift the Pokemon to safety. After checking over its injuries the Ranger congratulated Sora and asked if she would like to train as a ranger. Sora was a little hesitant at first, her dream had always been to become a Pokemon master...but who was to say she could not become one whilst being a Pokemon Ranger? After light consideration Sora agreed to start her years as a Pokemon ranger and at the age of 16 had traveled the known regions to aid injured Pokemon.

Legendary: Lugia

Pokemon:

Name: Jake
Species: Arcanine
Appearance: http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpmfa/dpmfa059.png
Personality: Loyal to Sora and only Sora. If he finds that something is not going to plan and worries for her safety, he will jump in without a second thought unless told to heel by Sora. He trusts no one on first appearance and it takes him a while to get use to some of Sora's companions and he is still not acting completely nice to Sora's ranger partner Michael, where its protectiveness or just sheer favoritism is unknown to Sora.
History: Jake has been with Sora ever since he was a pup. He was her present for starting her travels through Kanto. Jake has never been far from Sora's side and whenever he has he has always managed to find his way back to her in the end. He doesn't like going in his Pokeball and never has which leaves Sora leaving him out to roam around and keep close, he has been known to submit sometimes when flying to different regions or when swimming under sea.

Name: Haku
Species: Lucario
Appearance: http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpmfa/dpmfa448.png
Personality: Haku is honorable and loyal, he does what he thinks is right as long as no harm comes to Sora. He is like Jake in a way, but Haku is more patient and what bark and snap at anyone that passes unless they deserve it. He is sometimes caught meditating and focusing his powers so that he may become stronger. Haku is one of Sora's main fighters and is quick on both is feet and his mentality.
Histroy: Haku was not a Riolu when Sora found him, he was in fact a fully grown Lucario. She found him in agony in a mountain path not a year ago and she had been the one to nurse him back to health. Having been out there for days looking for an artifact for a museum, Sora was low on healing supplies and was slowly running out of food. But luckily enough the fish where biting in the river that ran down the mountain and Lucario was back to health in no time. It seems to Sora that he had gotten into a fight with something twice his size.

Name: Tino
Species: Golduck
Apperane: http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpmfa/dpmfa055.png
Personality: Tino is laid back and chilled. He likes nothing more than putting his feet up (preferably on the beach) and catching some z's. His other favorite pass time is eating, but this consists only of fruits and perhaps some sweets. He's not much of a fighter, but only because he's so lazy, but this doesn't mean he won't listen to Sora and do as he is told...though he may have a few moans to throw at her when he does.
Histroy: Tino was a simply Psyduck when Sora caught him. She had allways been a fan of the confused duck ever since she was small and made it her personal mission one day to go out and catch one of the critters and now that small psyduck has evolved into a calm and collected Golduck, one of the coolest Pokemon around in Sora's opinion.

He found that coordinators had a better bond between Pokemon than trainers did. Trainers push their pokemon to their limits to win and many hurt them in the process. However, coordinator and Pokemon work together to perform and make the people happy. It didn't require much to be a top coordinator other than skill and spirit. Kazu was happy he had an abundance of those things. When Kazu started his journey he took a pokemon he had bonded with most and a gift from his grandpa, Chimchar. The two travelled along and began to collect three ribbons and four new Pokemon.

[LaurenLOVESTONED]

Name: Jemima Clarke
Age: 17
Gender: Female

Jemima is both toned and very tan from constant swimming and sunbaking. Her hair is a nutshell brown and is dead straight and ends halfway down her back. She has large hazel eyes and a delicate ski-jump nose. Her lips are full and often described as “kissable” by guys. She is attractive and she knows it, using her body to get what she wants. She wears a white string bikini under all her clothing, just in case she gets the chance to swim, over her bikini she wears a tight aqua tank top, which is short enough to reveal her belly-button piercing and a white mini skirt. On her feet she wears aqua thongs but she often likes to go bare foot, especially on sand. She carries her possessions in a woven tote bag. She wears a silver necklace with the letter “J” on it and a silver anklet on her tanned ankle
Personality: Jemima is a serious flirt; her thoughts are constantly on boys. She likes to play them hot and cold, and she always gets what she wants. Despite of this, she has many good friends who are girls, and they form the popular group at their small island school. Although Jemima is shallow and vain, she is still very kind and loyal. She has a deep affection for her Pokemon, friends and family and is not hard to win over. She can come across as a ditz, she’s not stupid, she’s just not an academic type and she does not excel in school. Jemima can sometimes be tactless and say the wrong things, but this is not because she is mean or insensitive, she simply doesn’t realise what she’s saying.
History: Jemima was born and raised in Pacifidlog Town to Jordan and Aimee Clarke. She has four siblings, Alice who is the eldest, twins Joshua and Danielle and finally Sarah. Jemima is the second eldest, but she doesn’t act like it, her father spoils her the way one would spoil the youngest child.

She had a fairly quiet and comfortable upbringing; she attended the local school and made many friends, winning the hearts of several boys in the process. She had many boyfriends and paid little attention in school, just scraping a passing grade. This didn’t bother her parents, as they just wanted her to be happy.

Her elder sister Alice left for a journey around Hoenn when she was 13 and Jemima was 10. The two were close and stayed in constant contact, Alice elaborately described her Pokemon journey to Jemima igniting her interest in Pokemon.

Her parents made her wait until she was thirteen, so Jemima remained at home, swimming, flirting with boys and spending time with her friends. When she was thirteen her parents gave her a Surskit and Jemima set off on her journey through Hoenn. She soon became interested in Pokemon Contests and she journeyed throughout the region, winning many ribbons. She caught other Pokemon and journeyed to the Sinnoh and Kanto Region’s before returning home at age fifteen.

On her sixteenth birthday her parents gave her a Duskull and Jemima worked hard to train him up for contests. With his help, along with the rest of her Pokemon Jemima won the grand festival, two years in a row.

Duskull ♂: The newest addition to Jemima’s contest team, given to her by her parents when she was sixteen
Numel ♂: This fire Pokemon was given to Jemima by Flannery, the gym leader of Lavaridge town. The older trainer saw Jemima win a contest in Lavaridge and was impressed by the way Jemima handled her Pokemon so she gave her Numel to raise
Nidorina ♀: Nidorina was the very first Pokemon that Jemima caught. Caught as a Nidoran ♀ and she evolved two years ago. Jemima uses her more in battles then contests

[Sir Aaron1017]

Name: Derek Kingston
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: What can he say? Tall, dark, and handsome. He is 5'11' and has naturally tan skin. His hair is dark brown and it hangs freely down to his ears, but sometimes he wears it in a pony tail when frustrated, or if it is just in the way. He wears a long black leather jacket and a pair of black sunglasses to match. He has a grey tank top underneath, and also, he has black pants that cover some of his black boots. He has a tribal tattoo on his right arm, and wears a ring on his left ring finger which he never talks about, even if you ask him!

Personality: He is very quiet, and observes everyting from a distance-- when possible-- and tries not to start any fights, but sometimes he is unsuccessful. When he does talk, it is with some indefinate wisdom that he himself has yet to discover.

History: Well, his childhood was fairly easy, it was the growing up part that wasn't so peachy. Despite all the money his parents possess, he wont have anything to do with it. His motto is " Work for all you have, and never take anything for free", which makes it really hard for him to accept help of any kind, even if he really needs it. His favorite pokemon would have to be a Salamence, although he doesn't own one, yet anyways!

He started his pokemon journey earlier than most, at the age of 8! He found his dad's shiny charmander and thought "hey, he never uses this, why can't I?". He took it, fought some guy, won, which gave him the money to start his adventure. Now, dont get me wrong, he had to work hard to get where he is today.

(And just a little info on the ring... lets just say he was almost married... but something happened that left him single... he wears it to remind himself of her ( she died in freak accident)- and that is all he has ever told anyone-- even his best friend doens't know more than that!)

[Ibuberu]

Name: Candice Fia
Age: 16
Gender: Female

Appearance:

The young girl stands at a height slightly taller than most girls her age, she owns a skinny frame and has long legs. She wouldn’t be considered lanky, as she has a fair amount of meat on those lengthy bones of hers. Candice has a pair of misty grey eyes, and usually has a warm smile upon her oval face. Her short, chestnut brown hair barely brushes her shoulders when let down, but most of the time, she ties it in a side-ponytail standing out from the right side of her face with a black rubber band. Her skin is of average pigment, not too tan, neither is it too pale. The young female also wears a pair of transparent ear sticks, their colour subject to change depending on the day of the week.

Candice is usually seen clad in a sleeveless spaghetti strap of a dark blue shade, a long, sky blue button shirt that falls a fair bit beyond the girls waist is commonly seen over this article of clothing. The girl only buttons up the top three buttons of the shirt, whose sleeves fall to her shoulders. She is also seen in a pair of black coloured shorts that fall to just barely above her kneecap, a belt of a dark hue hangs at her hips, her four Pokeballs containing her trusty Pokemon clasped tightly onto their holders. Candice wears a pair of grey coloured sneakers with stars outline on them, and yes, grey was their original colour tone. To carry her possessions it, Candice carries a small, brown bag pack.


Personality:

The young girl has a courageous soul and a daring heart. She enjoys taking risks and trying dangerous stunts, as well as taking up challenges. Candice never rejects a dare and loves to prove someone wrong, with such an audacious character, it’s no wonder she’s the life of the party. An energetic and cheery girl when excited, the sixteen-year old has a knack for sports, but doesn’t fare too well in matters of the mind. She can be quite dense and may take a few moments to catch on to what someone might be explaining, if the terms and the subject of the conversation confuse her. She also has the habit of asking painfully obvious questions. Though she isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, her strong and bold persona and athletic prowess balances out her lack of wit. She enjoys sprinting and treasures her friends a great deal.

She tends to be playful and finds it hard to take anything seriously. Because of this, numerous people find that it is hard to catch her attention; some even find that it is a chore to get her to listen to them. Even when a earnest discussion is taking place, the girl can usually be seen staring out the window, a blank expression painted upon her face. Due to this, Candice comes off as rude and disrespectful; it is never really clear if she deliberately does so, or whether her short attention span is beyond her control. She’s really just an inquisitive child at heart, and sometimes, really finds this part of her nature a burden. The girl tries to act mature when around people she wants to impress, though this fails quite badly most of the time. She possesses a curious personality and doesn’t hesitate to do anything rash in order to get the answers she wants.

A brash young female, Candice may seem spoilt due to the fact that she has a temper and she isn’t afraid to show it when something doesn’t go her way. The girl is easily turned off by no-nonsense individuals who don’t know the meaning of fun, and will not resist the urge to show her anger if she is frustrated. The girl is really a warm and sweet person at heart; it just takes time and patience to understand her complex attitude. However, once you get used (I wouldn’t say that it’s impossible but...) to her weird antics, you would have found someone who will fight for you and stick by your side through thick and thin.


History:

Born and raised in Cianwood, Candice has always loved the ocean and used to go for daily swims at the beach. She explored the wondrous world of aquatic life under the surface of the sea, this routine feeding her curious mind. As a child, she loved doing a lot of daring stunts, ranging from cannonballing straight into the sea or swimming in intricate patterns in the water. These actions trained her body and reflexes, resulting in the healthy product one can see today.

Once she was twelve, her parents gave her a fishing rod of her own to catch a Pokemon or two, Candice was incredibly happy. She sat by the sea everyday, Lyulf sitting patiently at her side as she held anxiously onto the Good rod, in hopes that she could catch a Pokemon that would be able to learn Surf and carry her to the mainland. She was delighted, a few minutes after placing the hook into the water for the first time, she snagged a cute looking Chinchou.

The Fire type loved sunbathing in the warmth of the Sun while his trainer, on the other hand, became increasingly annoyed as each passing day yielded no results, outside of the first day, she had not managed to catch anything appealing. Tentacruel seemed to live in large hordes around the area. Candice was beginning to lose all drive for the project, when suddenly, a tug at her line shook her awake, she was nearly pulled into the sea by the large force. With her Houndour’s help, she managed to pull out a medium-sized Mantine from the water. Upon capturing said Pokemon, she was immediate in her request to leave the city and head for Olvine, where she could properly start travelling around. Her parents, knowing her well enough to realize that she couldn’t stay stranded on an island for her whole entire life, gave her their consent, much to the girl’s great joy. She left Cianwood one week later, sitting upon the back of her new Mantine, surfing towards the Lighthouse in the distant, signaling the start of her long journey around Johto and Kanto.


Legendary: Entei

Pokemon:

Houndoom (Male; Lyulf)

As a pup, the Houndour wandered the streets of Cianwood, having gotten chased off a ship he had stowed away on. A group of young boys loved to bully the little creature, throwing rocks and calling him mean names. However, a young girl of eight stepped in between the Houndour and the kids, ordering them to get lost and to leave the poor thing alone. Candice brought the injured Fire type home and nursed him back to health. However, the young canine couldn’t bear to leave the kind female, he decided to stay with her and protect her, just like how she protected him.

A canine with a bad temper and a nasty set of claws to boot. He is overly protective of the ones he loves and never avoids battle. He faces trouble and adversity straight in the face, and refuses to back down from a fight. The Fire type Pokemon has great pride in himself and overestimates his abilities some times. Though he may find Orah a pain, he really likes her, and would do anything to ensure Candice and her Pokemon’s safety.

Chinchou (Female; Orah)

Fished up from the sea, the Chinchou has a childish nature and loves to play games and pull pranks, especially on Lyulf. She enjoys laughing and finds that irritating the Houndoom is something along the lines of a hobby for her. A hyperactive little Water type who tends to be fairly inquisitive, she often worries Candice when she gets carried away and goes off exploring on her own. Luckily, fatherly Lyulf is always there to keep an eye out for her.


Mantine (Female; Iara)

Caught so that Candice would have a form of transportation for both the sea and air. Iara has a relaxed nature, and can usually be seen sleeping in the comfort of her Pokeball. She hardly appears outside of battle due to the fact that she prefers to rest and take naps. Though she may not seem very reliable, she is actually quite a skilled fighter with a large moveset.

[ぱはにま]

Name: Seras

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Appearance: Seras has a distinct mature and feminine look about her, something she is quite proud of in comparison to her rather casual and laid back personality. As such, she doesn't really have a very good eye for fashion and dresses accordingly so, adopting a more comfortable get-up in place of trying to look good or stand out. Whether this works in attracting people's attention or in complimenting her natural appearance is of little importance.

Speaking of which, as a result of spending the majority of her life under Slateport's bright and breezy environment, Seras has developed a ganguro-like complexion, just not as extreme. With a light tan and bleach-blonde hair, she has a somewhat exotic look about her, a common trend among the city's youth. Also having large blue eyes covered by a receding fringe and shoulder-length hair tied into a short explosive ponytail, not to mention a rather slim figure with portions of built up muscle in all the right places, Seras is nothing short of stunning. Of course, in spite of her natural beauty, she tends to cover herself in a number of unappealing apparel, her obscure sense of style and taste hindering her potentially popular social standing.

Picking out whatever she deems to be "cute" or that interests her, Seras' most prized attire is compiled out of six specific articles of clothing. The first is a simple white tank top with an ocean blue Pokeball print design across the front, over which she wears a denim feather collared and hemmed sleeveless jacket. Three quarter denim jeans dress her thighs with a similar feather rimmed design while a pair of round tipped sneakers brace her feet. Finishing her two-toned and feathery attire, she wraps each hand in a black fingerless glove with a matching feather rim while a full blown feather band ties her hair.

Personality: Innocent and oblivious define what kind of person Seras really is. She also shares a similar outlook on life but is slowly beginning to understand how the world actually works. Not everyone is nice and life isn't always fair, two facts she has become quite accustomed to ever since leaving home. In spite of all this, her attitude has remained resolute, even through the many trials she has already faced during her travels around the world.

In stark contrast to her somewhat timid persona, whenever she becomes enthused about certain issues, her level of passion and sheer determination rise exponentially. She's the type of person who really gets into what she's doing and more often than not finds herself needing someone to help subdue her from going overboard. It's this unrelenting nature of Seras' raw instincts that define who she really is and where she draws her true strength from. Of course, this side of her is only accessible during times of high testosterone and adrenaline paced situations, which in respect to her initial composure, is rather scarce.

Being independent, she is more or less responsible and also quite dependable. Those who rely on her are people she will never abandon no matter what happens and treasures each of them as her precious person. In this vain, she also hopes that there are people who if ever the need arose, she could rely upon instead.

History: Seras has lived quite a sheltered life in her hometown of Slateport City, with both her mother and father who worked a stall in the city's open air market. Coming from such humble origins, she has come to appreciate the finer things in life and does well not to take things for granted. But because of this, she tends to read into every little detail of a subject and often takes things to heart, despite how insignificant or meaningless they may be.

Countering this, it was during her teen years that her inner personality really started to develop and reveal itself. The occasion in which her initial awakening derived however, involved one hapless Spheal and a whole lot of trouble. Being seventeen years of age and having spent most of her morning helping her parents set up shop, Seras was more than ready to have a little fun but just her luck, all of her friends had something else to do and since Slateport wasn't exactly the most exciting place to be, she found herself stranded. Deciding to kill some time at the beach where she would come to relax every once in a while, she discovered the existence of her future Pokemon partner. Under the torment of some rather immature and boisterous tourists, Seras discovered a rather diminished Spheal lying quite out of context across the beach. Shooing away the evil children, she became immediately concerned for the poor Pokemon and brought it to the nearest Pokemon Center.

It was then that she found out about Spheal's condition. She was expected to make a full recovery but since she was still an infant and had somehow arrived in an environment very different to what she would normally be raised in, her longterm health had become an issue. Having become quite close, Seras decided to take in the Pokemon as her own and help find her home. It was a life changing decision but she was more than ready to make it and after receiving her parents' consent, she became ever more determined to return her partner to where she really belonged.

Name: Addison Bailey Avalon, Prefers to be called "Addie"
Age: Sixteen
Gender: Female
Title: Pokemon Ranger/Daycare Operator

Birthdate: September 23
Birthplace: Lavender Town, though she was later moved to Cinnabar Island around the age of 10
Height: 5'3'
Weight: Ninety-Eight pounds

Role models: First and foremost, Addie's father, who taught her everything she knows about raising and protecting pokemon, Blaine, who got Addie involved in the aspect of pokemon battles and who acted as a second father to her all the times when her father couldn't be there, and finally, Morty.

Personality: Addison is extremely playful in nature, preferring in any casual situation to be teasing or joking around, and in a sense is on the verge of flirtacious, but she is portrayed by her innocent child-like image, so no one would ever suspect that. Though while Addie is very playful, and wouldn't hesitate to instantly start heckling anyone and everyone she meets, she does have a shy side which makes itself known only when for some reason she is forced to begin socializing with an already-established group of people she has never met before. In these types of situations, she is a bit socially awkward, but sweet neverthless, and will do almost anything to be accepted. Addie hates being alone in general, and is a complete wreck if she is completely by herself, but is fine as long as Aryan is by her side. Addie adores the plush pokemon in fact, and if she is apart from him, after awhile will begin to grow antsy and extremely nervous. She has a passion for saving and caring for hurt pokemon, as indicated by her occupations, and most go even as far to say that she is reckless and rash, putting a pokemon's well-being before her own. But Addie prefers for it to be this way, for if a pokemon was ever lost under her watch, she wouldn't be able to live with herself. She believes it better if she got hurt trying to do the right thing rather than a pokemon get hurt because of something she failed to do. Many say that this unwavering compassion will be the death of her some day.

Appearance: Addison is an incredibly petite girl, small in both stature and weight, but this deficiency seems not to affect her much, as she has Aryan for protection. (Though the tiny fluffball of a pokemon may not appear to be much of a threat, much like his trainer, he unlike Addison is a force to be reckoned with.) Her whole body is incredibly small and slender, from her petite heart-shaped face, to her long, thin arms and delicate little hands. Her eyes are a brilliant, piercing shade of golden. Her hair, when let loose, cascades in loose curls all the way down her back and ends just above her waist. She most commonly keeps it tied up in high, child-like Pigtails, tied at the ends with bright yellow ribbons so long that they trail down past her bare shoulders. Her hair is platinum in color, streaked randomly with lines of hot pink. Addie is most commonly seen wearing a loose, yellow sundress, fashioned so that it clings to her chest, and billows out just below her hips, falling to about mid-thigh. The sundress is plain save for an intricate pattern of lace trimming all the edges and tiny hot pink miniature bows tied around the tops of the straps encircling her shoulders. On her feet, she wears simply a pair of flip flops, perfectly convenient for the Island climate she lives in. The flip flops are decorated with a pattern of Umbreon in various poses, betraying her obvious love for the dark-type pokemon. On her back she wears a soft plush backpack in the shape of Mewtwo's head, the favorite of all her legendaries. The backpack is very small in size, and therefore can't contain very much.

History: Most of it is already included in Aryan and Ghastly's Bios, so i'm just going to fill in the blanks. Aryan was born to Christopher and Angelique Avalon on September 23, in Lavender Town. The girl was a mere five pounds six ounces at birth, but was perfectly healthy and had the brightest pair of golden eyes anyone had ever seen, which still persists to this day. While Christopher was overjoyed to be welcoming a new daughter into the world, Angelique was less than thrilled with the prospect of eighteen years of unbroken commitment. Just days after Addison's birth, Angelique threw what few belongings she had into a bag and left the family to pursue her own dreams. When Addison was old enough to inquire about the whereabouts of her mother, Christopher pulled out an old album and explained to Addison how her mother had been a prize-winning Coordinator before she met him, and how when she became pregnant with her, she had had to give up that dream. With a tear in his eye, Christopher had then told Addison that he still loved her mommy very much, and one day, after she had achieved her dream of becoming Top Coordinator, maybe she would come back to them. Addie has no recollection of her mother, and knows of her only by what her father has told her and the photographs she left behind. Some say that the lack of a mother has had a horrible effect on the girl, and that is why she has such a deep obsession with dark, ghostly pokemon, when most girls go for what is cute and cuddly. Others say that it was most definitely practically growing up and taking her first steps in the Pokemon tower, where her first playmate was a Ghastly. But Addie knows that it is neither, and just hopes that one day she can become as great as Morty both in the ways of ghost-type battling and educating people properly about the joy of ghost pokemon.


Legendary: Moltres

Pokemon: Eevee
Nickname: Aryan
Gender: Male
Nature: Bold
History: When Addie was forced to leave Lavender Town, and along with it her beloved Ghastly, Addie vowed to herself and to her father that she would never love another pokemon again. True to her word, for almost a year Addie avoided anything to do with pokemon, and even when her father finally obtained her Ranger license, refused to even attend his welcoming ceremony, knowing that she wouldn't be able to ignore all the other Rangers and their partner pokemon there. When her father later brought home his new partner pokemon, a Squirtle, she felt betrayed, and enraged, she ran away from home. It wasn't like she could go far, being on an island and all, but nevertheless she fled to what she thought was just an ordinary volcanoe, but actually turned out to be the hidden Gym of Blaine, legendary fire Gym Leader of Kanto. After meeting him and eventually telling him about her current predicament, he agreed to give her some advice he guaranteed would solve her problem, but only on two conditions. 1. That she complete a Scavenger Hunt for him and bring back EVERY item on the list by solving a series of Riddles, no matter what she had to do to get them, and 2. She must take the advice no matter what. Grudgingly, Addie agreed, as she really had nothing better to do since she obviously didn't want to return home, at least not without the advice. It took her five hours to obtain every item on the list, and after being put through a series of trials that required her to physically interact with pokemon, Addie, with all the items in tow, was more than ready to receive her advice. As Blaine left the arena, and came back with a tiny bundle of brown fur in his arms, Addie soured, and as Blaine tried to give her the Eevee, stubbornly refused. It was then that he reminded her of their deal, and Addie was stuck with the Eevee. Apparently the Blaine had found the Eevee as an egg, unknown of what was concealed inside. The egg was found in the posession of two Poachers after Blaine began finding their traps all along the Beaches and volcanoes of Cinnabar. He eventually caught them in the act just as they were returning to claim a prize Kingler who had been snagged on a Beach near his volcanoe. Infuriated by the criminals, Blaine sicced Ninetales on the duo to capture them. Unfortunately, they got away, but the Kingler was safe. After Blaine released it, he noticed that the Poachers had dropped something in their hurry: A satchel containing a couple of canteens, some rather vicious traps for catching large pokemon, and most importantly, an egg. Blaine turned everything in to Officer Jenny respectively, everything but the egg, that is. He knew it would take care for it to hatch, and perhaps no one else would give it that kind of care, so not wanting to take the chance (and eager for a new addition to his team) Blaine lovingly hatched what came out as an adorable little Eevee. There posed the problem. Eevees took a lot of love and attention to raise up, and he realized that as a Gym Leader constantly accepting challenges with not a lot of spare time to get out and train, the Eevee would never grow up right. No, the Eevee belonged to a trainer, just starting out preferably, so the two could gain experience together, and form a tight bond and friendship like no other. Then out of the blue came Addie, and here was the perfect opportunity. After explaining her situation to him, Blaine knew that this girl was the perfect match for his Eevee, and if he could somehow get her to accept him, she would find that he was perfect for her. Addie was even more enraged when she found out how he had tricked her into taking the Eevee, but a promise was a promise, so reluctantly she took him home. She was more than hostile to the Eevee for weeks, months even, but the pint-sized pokemon eventually wormed his way into her heart, proving himself faithful to follow her whereabouts day after day, sniffing her out even when she tried her hardest to rid herself of him, and constantly picking her up with his silly antics on those days when she felt like she could no longer go on living. Aryan eventually became Addie's best friend and confident, and after this major breakthrough, Addie found herself slowly returning to the world of pokemon, simply just acknowledging their existence again at first, but then over time finding herself subconsciously seeking to learn more and more about them. After another year had past, she was following in her father's footsteps and attending Ranger School with Aryan and spending afternoon after afternoon sparring with Blaine and absorbing everything she could about fire types.

Dislikes: Arrogant people and pokemon, those who are unnecessarily cruel to others.

Pokemon: Ghastly
Nickname: None
Nature: Unknown
Gender: Male

History: Though Ghastly is no longer with Addie, deep down, she feels that he is still hers, and vows to someday return to the town she was forced to leave behind and claim him. Addie was born into the town of Lavender, and since the town notoriously centered itself around the downright eery Pokemon Tower, Addie's father was one of the many people working there. His job specifically was to arrange the pokemon memorials, and decide who was to be laid to rest where. He hated the job, and spending seemingly endless hours at the Tower, but as he was a single father looking to support him and his young daughter, he forced himself to come day after day. Since Addie was too young to be left alone, and her father, fairly new to town, didn't know anyone yet, she was brought to work with him every day. Though a pokemon deathsite wasn't the most ideal of environments to raise a small child in, and Addie's father lamented over this fact every day, the small girl didn't seem to share the same discomforts as her father, and as she grew accustomed to spending more and more time in the Tower, she actually began to love going there. Over time, the ghosts of the Tower began to appear to her, and she befriended a particularly mischevious Ghastly who was infamous for pulling pranks on people who came to visit the Tower. The two were friends from the time Addie's fifth birthday came around to the day she was forced to leave him behind. He had played pranks on her from the time she first began accompanying her father to the Tower, but unlike most of the people and pokemon who fell victim to the ghost's pranks, Addie thought they were hilarious. The Ghastly soon teamed up with the small girl, and together they made mischief all throughout the Tower. When it was time for Addie to finally attend School and pursue her education, the Ghastly followed, and their practical jokes were only expanded. Addie's father became concerned when he began receiving notes from her teachers about her behavior, and at first was doubtful that his sweet like Addison could wreck any havoc of that kind until the day he actually caught her in the act. Figuring a change of scenery would be good for Addie, and hoping that without the meddlesome Ghastly around, she might actually try to make some Human friends like other normal little girls, Addie's father bluntly informed her that they were moving, and by the next day the two were headed to Cinnabar Island. Addie was unable to even tell the Ghastly goodbye, her father wouldn't allow it as he was afraid that she would somehow let him know where they were going, and he would follow in secrecy. It still tears Maddie up to this day that her friend may think she abondoned him without a thought, when in actuality she can't go a night without dreaming about him, and the day they'll finally be reunited.

Rival: None, as of yet

Signature pokemon: Eevee

Extra: Addie's favorite color is Yellow, She loves late-night walks beneath the moon, and thinks it would be romantic for a guy to ask her to go to a Haunted House. She loves Casablanca Lilies and anything sweet.

GhostPrincess: Accepted! Gotta love shiny Gardevoirs... and coordinators.

Kaishin: Reserved. I'm looking forward to seeing your signup!

Darkly_the_Flygon: Rejected for now, but you have once chance to improve your signup before I make Dialga open. You really could do a lot more with your Appearance, Personality, and History, and you need to work on capitalisation, especially. Right now I'm not convinced that you could do a good RPG post.

Lucien Lachance: Pending. Looks good so far--just finish your history.

Zimvee: Accepted! Short, but sweet. You didn't need to include the levels of your Pokemon, but that's okay.

K9S8: Accepted! Not a bad signup. Wow--I didn't know coordinators were popular!

Trainer Kat: Reserved. Heyyyy, you took my favourite Legendary, not fair... Just kidding. :P

LaurenLOVESTONED: Accepted! Whoa, it looks like my character's gonna have to watch out for yours...

SirAaron1017: Accepted! Hmm, you're signup's kinda on the short side, but not bad and your grammar is good. Besides, I've seen you RP before.

Ibuberu: Accepted! Great signup overall! Nice contrast, between Fire Pokemon and fishing...

Phanima: Reserved. Sorry for your favourite Legendary being taken... it happens to everyone...

Umbreongirl: Pending. The only reason I know that Moltres is your legendary is because you PM'd me. Could you include that in your signup so everyone else knows? What's more, I know you're recycling an old profile; it's okay, I do it all the time. But when you do that, sometimes you have to change it a bit to fit the RPG. Could you perhaps re-order some of the parts of the signup so that it fits the template? Put your character's history before the Pokemon, for instance, add the legendary... but otherwise, good quality in your signup.

I will be starting this RPG tomorrow perhaps, but signups are still open.

And now for my signup.

Name: Hiroshi "Gon" Tsukimaru
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: Gon is not extremely tall--5'3" to be exact. His jet-black hair, straight and rather coarse in texture, is slightly longer in the back than the front, just so that it can touch his ears and the bottom of his neck and show his little beady black eyes. But it proves to be a nice contrast to his skin tone, which matches that of the inside of an almond. He also has the beginnings of a moustache, just a little black line (some people have commented that it looks like a thick whisker) on each side of his face. Strangely, people have called him both thin and chubby, because although he has an overall thin stature and especially thin forearms, his face looks rather pudgy and he has somewhat of a potbelly.

Having fairly sensitive skin, Gon prefers more comfortable attire--for example, you'll never see him wearing jeans or boots or even most belts. The black T-shirt he wears is so soft in texture that it wouldn't even be called a T-shirt if it didn't look like one. The design on the front of this shirt consists of a Dragonair sitting in a circle around a Dragonite, who has a Dratini draped over its shoulders. Several people have remarked on how cute the Dratini's face looks... Anyway, Gon's so fussy about picking comfortable that he wears pajama bottoms, with a red flannel pattern on them, and below that, black sandals with white socks underneath. This might give him an air of someone who is intent on staying in bed all day, but rather it just softens his overall appearance, not to mention that around him is a faint aroma of baby powder.

Gon also carries his laptop around, in a large black case with a Butterfree on it.

Personality: Gon talks with people best either with his closest friends or peers, or with anyone online. Nevertheless, especially when around his peers, he has a tendency to try to fit in with everyone else. He appeals to people with casual small talk and an overall modest attitude, although he hardly ever talks about himself. Rather, he keeps mentioning how cool the other people are, and smiles a lot (unless he's talking to a group of goths, say). One could easily see him as a friendly, "feel-good" person, always happy to help out with things, never frustrated by even those who give him a hard time ("Just chill man, c'mon, you don't have to be THAT tough with it..."), and could make even the shamed, wrist-cutting emo crack a smile. He's also known to be very generous, to the point where in school, he lets people copy his answers on tests, and he's also been known to let people try out things like a video game on his laptop.

As far as interests and hobbies go... Gon is a geek, based on how much time he spends on the computer. But unlike his sister, he doesn't prefer to stay inside his room all the time; one of the advantages of having a laptop. He spends much time wandering around town, sitting in such places as parks or cafes and do various things on his laptop--play video games, watch anime, spend some time in online chat sites or RPG's, search for or listen to music, etc. etc. After a few hours of doing that in the morning, he'll come home a bit for the afternoon, his Pokemon tagging along with him. Then, by evening, it's time to hit the arcade, the movie theater, the roller-skating rink, maybe even sneak into a club. He really enjoys doing fun things with his friends, including his Pokemon and people he's interested in meeting.

Gon speaks more openly to boys than girls, as he knows that he can have a tendency to stare at or even accidentally touch girls at the worst possible times. As a result, he's not too into romance, although he is occasionally prone to falling under the spell of a really pretty girl. In fact, Gon is pretty prone to being led into all sorts of trouble, being quite gullible and trusting people too easily most of the time. To get over any problem he encounters, the first thing he does is think of something that's wonderful about it (especially the case if the problem is with a person), and hopefully use that to fix the problem. And when he loses a competition, like a Pokemon battle, he doesn't pout--instead he compliments the winner (especially the case if the winner makes fun of him) and points out that he's not very experienced. And... let's finish off with a few more random things. Despite his overall geekiness, Gon likes the outdoors and is mildly interested in sports, oddly enough. He's also interested in the Pokemon trading card game, and loves to eat. He loves Pokemon in general, especially Bug and Fire and maybe Dragon-types.

History: Gon didn't spend a lot of time with his parents when he was young, but he did spend a lot of time with Ari, his little sister. Often times the two of them would go on walks together, and explore around their hometown of Eterna City, Sinnoh. Sometimes they wandered towards Mt. Coronet or the forest to look for Pokemon to watch or play with. The two were curious little explorers--it didn't matter what time of day it was, or what kind of place it was, nor what kind of people inhabited it. They wandered into it. That is, unless a Gastly or something from the Old Chateau or something scared them away. (Ooh, that one was common back in the day...) It was even through all this exploring that they found out about Pokemon in the first place, as it's just not possible to wander into Eterna Forest without spotting a single Pokemon. And they would even return home to play video games or watch TV together. (Especially for cartoon night on Saturday!)

One thing--or rather, person--Gon and Ari weren't aware of, was Mr. Wheezy, the supposed "child-eater" who dwelt in Diamond Alley. Wheezy spent his days in a grimy little flat in a hole in the dark alley, smoking cigars and pampering his Weezing, and waiting for some child to sneak by... Whenever he got the chance, he would take a young child and coop him/her up in his grimy flat, "have a little fun with them", and then dispose of them (and their lives too). At one point, Gon and Ari had the misfortune of walking through Diamond Alley while Mr. Wheezy was awake, and... well, fortunately, they barely saw the flat before a martial arts teacher named Mr. Phan rescued the two.

When Mr. and Mrs. Tsukimaru heard about this incident with Mr. Wheezy, they were worried indeed, but there wasn't much they could do about it--or for Ari or Gon for that matter. Both of them had jobs that took up most of their time--Mum had to commute all the way to Jubilife to work in the Poketch company, and Dad spent much time in business meetings--being on the board of directors for Eterna Condominiums. Plus, both of them had a tendency to overlook anything bad that happened to "safe little Hiroshi and Mariko". So they both said "no more unattended outings" without putting much force into it... Yet nevertheless, little Gon and Ari were pretty frightened by the Wheezy experience, and their outings became far less frequent. Not to mention that over the years, homework became more of an issue in school.

School wasn't too bad, not to mention Gon showed an early interest and talent in the math and science fields. And his parents even taught him and Ari about computer use in their spare time (if they had any). And while in school, Gon and Ari spent as much time together as possible... but they stopped after several people thought they were boyfriend and girlfriend instead of brother and sister. Not to mention that Gon soon got involved with the school baseball team and spent more time in school than usual, and that some boy named Tom started picking on Ari. At home, Gon spent most of his time watching TV, while Ari began to retreat back into her room for hours at a time to do stuff on the computer... Their parents were okay with it, so long as they didn't skip school.

For the longest time, Gon had to stay up late and sneak into his parents' computer room in order to use a computer (Ari was lucky to have one of her own, but she only let Gon use it on very rare occasions), but a beam of sunlight shone on his life when he turned fourteen. Not only did he get a laptop as a birthday present, but he also received a Pokemon, as did Ari. The Pokemon were pretty special; Ari's Piplup proved to be quite strong and knew Aqua Ring, and Gon's Venonat was shiny. Both Pokemon came from a breeder who was a friend of Mum. However, although the Piplup was Ari's, Ari let Gon take him out on little wanderings most of the time, as she wasn't sure whether she was ready for a Pokemon journey.

Then, one day, Gon and his parents found that the door to Ari's room had been locked tightly for a week. What's more, they didn't hear anything coming from the other side. Finally, they succeeded in pulling the door off its hinges, only to find that, to their horror, that behind the door was a solid wall, with nothing behind it. Where had Ari's room gone? And where was Ari? Even Kaiser (the Piplup) and Puffy (the Venonat) had no idea... Well anyway, on that same day, Gon received a letter from Professor Willow, who said that she had something for him...

Legendary: Regigigas
Pokemon:

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpffsa/dpffsa048.png Puffy the Venonat
Puffy is not that much of a battler, but she likes to look over Gon's shoulder whenever he's on his laptop. During the afternoon she goes into her Pokeball to sleep, and during the night she looks for berries and rare items, while keeping watch over Gon while he sleeps. She can't fly very well, but can jump right over Gon while he's standing on a bench. Oh, and her fur is very soft--if Gon wants to take a nap in the afternoon, he'll use her as a teddy bear...

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dpmfa/dpmfa393.png Kaiser the Piplup
"Super Kaiser", as Gon sometimes likes to call him. He's quite the athlete and the battler, and is a very fast swimmer for a Piplup. Strangely, he hates cold weather--when it's cold outside, he runs or hops around to heat himself up--well, he often does similar things anyday to keep his body in shape anyway. However, he is a bit afraid of the dark...

[Chabz]

Name: Jacob "Jezz" Lawkin

Age: 19 years old

Gender: Male

Appearance: Jacob has a very typical appearance about himself, nothing too crazy that makes him stand out, and he is very happy with the way he looks. His light blonde hair is the first thing that everyone notices, the fact that its shines like the sun compared to the rest of his outfit, and is always spiked up so that it is out of his way. It is kept slightly short, just long enough to spike it up, and the tips are dyed about 1/2 in black. His eyes are the second thing most people notice, when not hidden behind his trademark black sunglasses, due to the fact they are an amazingly icy blue. Of course, always being a modest person, Jacob tries to say they are just eyes and they aren't special, but deep down he knows he likes the attention sometimes. Continuing downwards we move to Jacob's upper body, this consisting of two clothing items and a necklace. The first clothing item is just a simple plain red t-shirt, nothing fancy at all about it, that was picked up at a cheap store because he didn't have a lot of money to spend. Getting slightly expensive, but not going overboard, we come to his black hoodless jacket that he takes with him everywhere. We finish up his upper region with a necklace that was especially made to hold a single pokeball, and within this pokeball is his very first pokemon and long time friend. Not being the rebelling type, Jacob wears a pair of beige kahki's to go along with the rest of his outfit, again not trying to show off in any particular way. And finally he wears a pair of black sneakers with matching black laces, occassionally they are seen with dust on them from his traveling. This outfit fits perfectly with his 5'10 height and 155lb weight, which he hopes is mostly muscle and not fat. His pokeballs are scattered across his belt like a typical pokemon trainer, him not fancying any different techinque for their travel. Lastly, a simple backpack with his spare clothes, food for both him and his pokemon, water, and of course his sketch book where he draws all the pokemon he encounters and befriends.

Personality: Jacob is a very quiet person, usually keeping to himself when around other people for fear of becoming too attached. And in replacement of human friends, Jacob becomes a very outgoing person with his and wild pokemon, always stopping to help wounded or sick pokemon, and helping in anyway possible. When it comes down to it though, human and pokemon alike, Jacob is always in a helping and caring mood and if he feels something deserves his attention he focus' all of his enery into it. The other thing about Jacob is that he is always one for training, feeling that everyone must be brought to the best of their ability while keeping themselves happy. He can be seen training constantly with his pokemon, but always taking multiple breaks and treating their wounds from the practices.

History: Brought into this world by his mother, Jacob was born on Mandarin Island, one of the various Orange Islands, and was raised in a place surrounded by multiple species of Pokemon. Unfortunately, his father was never in the picture as he had been a grunt for Team Rocket and took the oppurtunity to leave, coincidentaly after finding out Jacob's mother was pregnant with him. Jacob's mother, Tiffany, raised him up until the age of 10, but was forced to send him to the Pokemon Center after she became extremely ill. A few months later she passed away, and Jacob spent the next year with Nurse Joy and Chansey, them teaching him the ways to treat and love every pokemon he encountered. Once turning 11, he made his way on his own pokemon journey to explore the world and meet new friends. Jacob was different though, his starting pokemon was not of the typical kind and he was lucky to have met a baby Dratini who appeared one day at the beach with a very high fever. Jacob treated the Dratini at the beach just to get the fever down before moving her, but eventually made it to the pokemon center where Nurse Joy and Chansey did everything they could. A few weeks later, Dratini was as good as new and would not let Jacob leave her side, which he had no intention of doing. Dratini joined Jacob as his first pokemon, and they made their way around the world gathering new and exciting pokemon as friends, both wild and captured.

Legendary: Cresselia

Pokemon:

Dragonair AKA Jewel: The very first pokemon that Jacob ever called his own, and his truest friend who has been with him every step of his pokemon journey. She was found on the beach on Mandarin Island, where Jacob lived, and was extremely ill as a Dratini. After treating her slightly on his own, Jacob returned to the Pokemon Center were Nurse Joy and Chansey worked on her the rest of the way. For the next few weeks he stayed by Jewel's side, and after she got better they made way for Jacob's, and now Jewel's, pokemon journey. It was about two years later after I battle with a wild Scyther that Jewel evolved from Dratini to Dragonair. Jewel is not the typical Dragonair, and instead of a darker blue skin color, she has an sea foam green color instead. Aswell, she has two light blue stripes that go down the length of her back.

Leafeon AKA Twiggs: Twiggs was originally an Eevee when Jacob first encountered her inside the Enterna Forest. A battle ensued between Jewel and the wild Eevee, lasting about 30 minutes with neither side giving up. At one point during the match the Eevee evolved into a Leafon, right off the bat using a solar beam attack that nearly lost Jacob the battle. Eventually, Twiggs was blasted backward into a tree by a hyperbeam and knocked unconcious. It was then that Jacob threw a pokeball to catch the newly evolved Leafon, capturing his second pokemon. Twiggs as the typical appearance of any normal leafon, except for her right ear bending downwards while her left ear pointed upwards.

Milotic AKA Serenity: Serenity was captured as a Feebas from a lake near Cerulean City. Shortly after being captured, a battle had ensued between Jacob and a Geodude while he visited Pewter City. Using Twiggs in her first battle, Jacob looked to secure a swift victory but it wasn't as swift as he had expected, Twiggs was over come when a Graveler and Golem showed up and triple teamed her. So Jacobs called out both Jewel and Serenity, Jewel taking on the Gravler and Golem while Serenity would take on the Geodude. Jewel was handling herself as best as she could, Serenity get a good beating from the Geodude, and made quick work of the Gravler and being left with the Golem. Serenity finished off the Geodude shortly after with a huge water gun attack, and it was then that Jewel was about to be hit with a Roll Out attack the was near a cliff. Seeing this, Serenity began to evolve into a Milotic and quickly used hyper beam to blast the Golem over the cliff instead. Serenity has the typical Milotic appearance.

Roselia AKA Aroma: Jacob found this Roselia being attacked by a huge swarm of Beedrill and came to her rescue. After bandaging up her wounds and giving her found, Aroma made the decision of staying with Jacob and the rest of his team. Instead of the usual pink and blue flowers, Roselia has pink and yellow flowers and has orange skin instead of green.

Flygon AKA Draiga: Jacob recieved Draiga when she was just an egg after helping to save a town from a stampede of Tauros'. Over the few years after the incident, Draiga slowly evolved from the egg to trapinch to vibrava to a Flygon. Instead of the usual Green and redish color, Draiga is green and purple.

Jiran never gives up. He will not stop a progect once hes started. He is VERY strong willed. Quick to stand up for the week. This occasionly leads to more trouble. Twice he was got into trouble with the police. Each time thoughe he was found not guilty in court. Jiran is very defensive about his past. He does not like being thought of as weeak. It annoys him when people want to do everything for him because he cant see out of one eye.

He turns very jumpy jumpy when any one mentions his uncle or parents. Oft trying to avoide the subject. When he is sad or worried he trys to cover it up. But is not very good at it. You should be able to tell quite quickly what he is feeling.

Past: Jiran was born in Jubilife city. His mother died of internal bleeding Shortly after birth. Jirans father gave him shroud befor he passed away. At the age of 49. Jirans father passed away of heart attack. Jiran was only 10. He was adopted by his uncle and aunt in hearthome city.(This was about the time he contracted the dieseas leading to his partial blindness) Things were not well. He ran away from home multiple times. He was beaten each time. Life in the house was hectick. Everyone was afraid of Jiran uncle. His aunt could only watch helplessly as Jirans uncle beat him with a belt. 5 times for a minor offence. 10 if he got anything lower than an A in school. During Trainer school Jiran was targeted by bul;lies. Often seen as weak. The years he was tortured contributed to his being so straong willed. His final attempt to escape his uncle and aunt led him to Solaceon town and eventualy veilstone. there he was caught rummaging around in the dumpsters behind Alph HQ. He worked for them for awhile. Being forced into it. He still knew nothing of their plan. He escaped and set out with Shroud. Whom had not been out of its pokebal for 3 months. As he kept it hidden while with Team alpha. He got a certified license. He has beaten the sinnoh and johto leauge. Now challenging Kanto. That basicly summerizes his life so far.

Name: Sharika (Sharky) Andrews
Age: 17
Gender: Female

Appearance: Short, sturdy and tanned, Sharky was considered “handsome” by some generous souls, but would never be called “pretty”, let alone “beautiful”. Her wavy but slightly lanky hair was naturally separated into several thick strands and fell floppily past her shoulders. No matter what she did, her long fringe always covered part of her right face and shadowed one of her already dark, brooding eyes. She had a strong jaw, prominent cheekbones, thin lips, and what could be considered a large forehead. With all of these features put together, she really looked quite masculine. However; when she suddenly laughed or crookedly smiled, a dazzling array of white, even teeth, contrasted by her skin, startled most.

Sharky is the type of person to find the nearest clean outfit and throw it on. Luckily, she only had several different shades in shirts and trousers, so they didn’t clash horribly and bring tears to the eyes of those who saw her. Her shirt was usually a white or light blue and, even “clean”, always slightly covered in dirt. Her slacks were all either some shade of brown, creamy olive or blue or black denim. On dry land, she wore trainers which used to be white and black but had all faded into a yellow-gray and on sea, she wore yellow sandals or, better yet, nothing at all on her feet. Sharky owned no pieces of jewellery whatsoever, and did not intend upon starting anytime soon.

Thick, padded, tanned and fingerless gloves were adorned on her calloused hands. Her skin was weathered from salt and sea-spray, barely visible freckles running down the length of her arms. Whenever she spoke to anybody or merely examined them, her head cocked to the right, which was the only time her hair didn't cover her eye.

Personality: Although she was quiet, whatever the situation or company, and always had a slightly brooding look and air about her, that didn’t mean she was the serious, doom-and-gloom type. Sharky enjoyed listening to others joke, holler and laugh whilst basking in her own, private silence. Often, she cracked a smile in appreciation for others’ efforts, although some took this as more of a smirk. Her laughter was heard considerably less, although it was probably on par with how much she talked. Her answers were short, brief, and to-the-point, matching any questions she may have. This trait of hers affronted quite a few talkative, curious people or those whom liked to dance around questions and give long, vague answers which didn’t really say anything.

Sharky told people the truth as she saw it and gave direct answers, expecting people to do the same to her. She despised liars, sneaks and snivelling cowards, although she realised somewhat that almost every living being had its own courage. The only time she could tolerate half-truths was when someone else’s feelings or her hide was on the line. Stiff and conservative in her beliefs, she would not change them for anything or anyone. Perhaps her unwillingness to change could be considered something annoying on a daily basis, but a good thing in the long run, for she would never outright lie to somebody.

She gave people second chances and nothing more, unless they prove, over a period of time, that they are worthy of a third one from her. However, some might consider her slightly naïve and biased on this matter, for she would not even consider that a friend had lied to her until there was extremely solid proof on the matter, and then some. If a friend had told her that somebody close to being a stranger had lied to her, she would accept that as truth and, depending on her mood, either give them the cold shoulder or confront them gruffly.

As for Pokémon, she didn’t stand for mistreating them and cruelty, but also didn’t believe in coddling them and cooing over them. Letting all of them have their own way was nonsense and would only achieve in making Pokémon spoiled and unmanageable. She used a firm hand with her Pokémon, helping them to strive for their best, which might be the reason why they had a great, silent bond.

History: Sharky was actually born in Pewter City, living a peaceful five years there before her father received a better job offer as a scientist in Cinnabar Island. He accepted because he also had a brother there, and quickly moved his family over, settling themselves in the island with a few adjustments. During her years there, she found that wrestling and joking with the guys was more fun than whatever the girls were doing. She was given a Pokémon by her father as a birthday present and three Pokeballs by her mother. However, she hadn’t used them straight away like most other lads would’ve, but kept them for the Pokémon she really wanted.

However, her parents, for reasons then unknown to her, decided quite amiably to divorce when she was thirteen. Both of them decided that she should be kept with her father who would be staying in Cinnabar, instead of uprooting her life. It was all a mutual decision, really, from the split of the money to house arrangements. Since her father didn’t have much time, her uncle taught her how to sail and fish, and also how to be a proper deckhand. Her mother came back to see her often, and the years passed relatively peacefully.

Legendary: Celebi

Pokémon:

Species: Lanturn
Nickname: Kros
Gender: Female
History: Kros was given to her by her father for a birthday present as a Chinchou. Young Sharky named her for the shapes present on her eyes. She got her Pokéball custom-made to have the name on, and had showed the guy who did it exactly what he should write. It’s too bad that at that time she didn’t know how to spell “cross” properly.

Personality: Kros was fun-loving and quite carefree. She turned most work into a game and so managed to complete it well and happily. It was against her nature to consider things like this seriously, so Sharky let her be. She always thought that strangers are just friends you haven’t met yet, which got her into more trouble than anything else about her did.

Species: Muk
Nickname: L.S.
Gender: Male
History: The first Pokémon Sharky had ever caught was a Grimer. She named it “Little Slime” because she couldn’t come up with anything better. Grimer had just newly evolved into a Muk, and she thought that “Little Slime” didn’t exactly suit him anymore, so she changed it to “L.S.” to his approval.

Personality: L.S. was a laid-back character who enjoyed oozing slowly on the same spot and watching others have fun. He and Sharky had probably shared the most bonding silences out of all her Pokémon, although that didn’t mean he was the closest to her, really. Sometimes, Sharky suspected he thought he was still a Grimer, because she had caught him trying to pass through holes without oozing, like he could before.

Species: Swablu
Nickname: Cirrus
Gender: Male
History: Sharky had actually caught a Growlithe first, but had decided to trade it because it really wanted to be owned by somebody else. The puppy eyes were what finally made her cave, and swapped the Growlithe with a newly-caught Swablu. She got to name it, and by this time had learnt about cloud formations from her uncle and their names from her father, so he actually got a halfway decent name.

Personality: Cirrus liked to act puffed up and superior to Sharky’s other Pokémon, although he really was actually quite insecure. He was the last to be obtained in the group, the weakest one in there and also the least suitable to Cinnabar. So, when he was alone, he tried his best to become stronger and evolve.

Alrighty! First to deal with the signups:

Umbreongirl: Accepted! See? That wasn't so hard.

Chabz: Accepted! Just make sure your character and your Legendary don't become love interests! Just kidding.

PkMn Trained: Rejected... for the same reason as Darkly the Flygon. Too short, you seem like the person who'd post those two-sentence RP posts... Fortunately, I believe in second chances. If you can improve your signup quality a bit--perhaps be more descriptive especially in the Personality and History sections--then I might accept you. You get one chance only--then Jirachi is open to the public.

Sweet_Dreams: Reserved. Haha, we haven't RP'd together since After the Apocalypse (I think). I can't wait to see your signup.

The RPG has started!!!
(That is, I posted it--you might have to wait a while for the thread to appear in the main RP section because it has to be approved.)

Okay everyone who was accepted, in your first post you basically have to get to Professor Willow's lab, which is in Pallet Town. It doesn't really matter how you get there--you can go by plane, by train, by blimp (like my character), by Rapidash, by walking (doesn't work with people not from Kanto)... you get the idea. Keep in mind that it will be afternoon by the time you arrive. Don't worry--this is one of the very few times when I want something specific done in your posts. After getting your Pokevice, you're pretty much free to post what you want to post.

Oh, and I give permission for you to have Professor Willow greet you or something--stupid bunnying rule. Just keep in mind that you won't be getting your Pokevice quite yet...

You may from now on use this thread to ask any questions about the RPG, or discuss it in general. Anything out of character goes here; anything in character goes in the main thread.

And yes, signups are still open.
Legendaries Available: Articuno, Zapdos, Suicune, Latias, Latios, Groudon, Manaphy, Heatran

Okay, I have added my sign-up to my first post. Well, I'll just wait and see, shall I?

Name: Ryan Ward
Age: 16
Gender: Male

Appearance: Ryan is moderately tall for his age and stands at about 5'9. He weighs around 114, which is kind of skinny. Ryan has hazel eyes and a very good complexion. His messy brown hair is covered by a white beanie with a green sash strung across it. Ryan wears a green and white striped shirt, with a brown scarf tied around his neck. He also wears regular brown slacks.

Personality: Ryan is a very competitive and energetic person. He loves life and the thrill of pokemon battle. In battle, he will never give and is known to do whatever it takes to win. His movements are quick and fierce and if you're not careful, you'll go down just like everyone who underestimates him. Which is lot of people, considering his out-of battle personality. He likes to meet new people and knows who's with him or against him. Ryan has very good judge of character which hegets from his mother. He treats his friends and pokemon as family and no insults will go without consequence. In other words, he is a very loyal and passionate person.

Then, Ryan and Growlithe went on a journey around Kanto. He captured many new pokemon and made it to Indigo Plateau. He placed in the Top 32, which was phenomenal for a first timer.

When Professr Oak died, Ryan attended the funeral, as he was family. Ryan's father and the Professor were cousins. There, he met Professor Willow for the first time. They became acquaintances and after a time she gave Ryan a pokevice. Ryan journeyed to Johto. On his travels in Johto, he met a two strange women named the Uma Sisters.
