Johto: The Future of Adventure

Sign ups are CLOSED. for now.
Rated PG-13

The year is 2010, the present day, to be precise. Nestled to the west is the vibrant but undeniably slow Johto region. Home to the famous Lake of Rage, Mount Silver and National Park's annual Bug Catching Contest, the region may be well known though it is slightly behind on things.

The Johto region has not had a Pokemon League contest in quite a while, roughly ten years to be exact. Ten long years, with many gym leaders packing up their gyms because of the decrease in worthy challengers.

While the other competitive regions of Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh galloped on, their leagues producing many talented trainers and Pokemon, the Johto region lay in waste. As the number of trainers lessened in this region, both native and not to the region, the number of wild Pokemon increased, resulting in rogue Pokemon rapaging small villages and even daring to run the bigger cities in groups.

One man who saw to seek a solution, not just for the rogue Pokemon but also for the failing tourist industry of Johto was Derek Walsh. A scientist working in the big city of Goldenrod, Derek had grown up watching a number of gyms close around the region, including the gym in his home of Goldenrod city.

It was Derek Walsh, after leaving the Pokemon corporation he worked for, who moved to the previous founding town of trainers, New Bark town, where he set up his new life.

It took many a year to locate and contact the last reigning champion of Johto. Lance, with his trademark cape and fiery red hair, was not an easy person to locate. He had concealed himself away, continuing to train his Pokemon, among other things.

Derek proposed his idea to the champion, that if Johto were to hold a new league, hopefully Pokemon would settle down as other scientist-turned-professor's could set up laboratory's, delivering Pokemon to new trainers. It was a chance idea that Lance would hopefully be open to.

Lance, slightly annoyed because of his new found laziness and secretly overjoyed about the idea, agreed to help Derek found the new Johto league. Gym leaders were called in, most eager to clean out the cobwebs in their gyms and redecorate. Other scientists where asked to set up laboratories in different towns and cities around the region. Derek was hoping it would encourage all young individuals to try their hand at
Pokemon training.

So, while gym leaders were in the middle of their redecorating, the new Professors were out and about catching Pokemon and updating software and Lance was trying to lose his pot belly, only one thing seemed to be missing. The registration form for new trainers that Derek Walsh had left on New Bark town's community hall noticeboard was still empty...



Your are a sprout of New Bark town, having lived there your whole life. Professor Derek Walsh will give you your first Pokemon. Choose from below. Seven Pokemon to start with, there may be more spots added, depending. Your Pokemon's gender, nature, level and beginning attacks will be decided by Breezy (Me, if you didn't get that already...) :D Also, this is a chaptered RPG and a rough level system will be used.

'Tis my first RP, I pray I don't disappoint.

Name: Adam Locke

Nickname: Lockie

Gender: Male

Age: 13

Appearance:
Adam had dark brown hair, which is almost black but just a shade lighter, which is kept neat and tidy at all times. He never styles it, he just makes it look presentable and smart. He has very pale skin, which makes him look like he is ill most of the time, and his face is covered in contrasting freckles, which stand out brilliantly on his pale skin. His lips are a few shades lighter than his skin, and his mouth is reasonably small. His nose is small, and his eyes are medium sized. They seem to hold a sadness in them, as if behind the misty grey of the iris there is a tragic and saddened past.

He usually wears plain, simple clothes; A grey, button-up jacket which almost looks like a suit over a long sleeved red shirt. His trousers are plain black jeans with pockets on either side done up with a zip. He wears white trainers which are laced up with the logo of a Pokeball on the outward side. He wears white gloves in cold weather and a matching scarf. When he sleeps, he wears silken pyjama bottoms and a thermal shirt.

He is reasonably tall and thin, and his legs are longer than his actual body, but not to make him look gangly. He wlaks with a graceful stride, and speaks with a voice of authority and reason with a hint of misery in them. He always stands straight and confidently, rarely smiling and his eyes focussed on his task.

Personality:
Adam is a quiet, serious and timid person but if you can crack his perpetual shell, he is a charming, passionate soul who looks for nothing more than friendship, love and justice. He is unshakeably faithful in Christianity, and has a knowledge of the Bible that is rivalled by few. He is very tolerant of others, but if they are too loud or excitable he may be disconcerted and keep his difference.

Those who know and trust him know he is a person split and torn apart by emotions, who expresses feeling rarely, but when he does, it is heartfelt and true. He has a habit of never lying and can't stand dishonesty or cruelty. He is kind to those in need, but frosty towards those who he doesn't know. He is amazingly caring for his Pokemon, and would do anything to keep them safe. He is always proud of them, and helps them realize their full potential.

History:
Before Adam started his journey, he lived in New Bark town with his mother and father, and he had two brothers, who weren't the nicest of people. He didn't have many friends at Schoolm but those he did have he would have trusted with his life. He was known for his intelligence and understanding, and a staunchly religious mind, he was near unchangeable in his views about the world.

However, throughout his life, he was bullied by his brothers, who ganged up on him often and hurt him. They damaged his most precious books on Pokemon, and kept telling him that he would never amount to anything. He was determined to prove them wrong, but one day, when he was twelve, his parents divorced, and his brothers split to live with each of them. However, he decided that he'd had enough, and went to the nearest lab to start his journey.

Chosen starter Pokemon: Vulpix
Nickname: Vixen
Gender: Female
Personality: Vixen is much like her friend and owner, Adam, but much more sympathetic and openly caring, She will try and nurse wounded Pokemon back to health, but this sometimes makes her reluctant to hurt others. If it comes to defending her friends, however, Vixen becomes a whole other Pokemon; She's fierce and brave to the point of reckless, and determined to keep those around her safe. She dislikes listening to people other than Adam, but if he asks something, Vixen will do all in her power to fulfill his wishes.

Other Information: Nothing, really.

RPG Sample:
It was a cold but sunny day, and the sun glinted off the snow. Michael gazed across the glistening landscape and sighed; Snow always made his paperround difficult. He put on a pair of trainers and trudged outside, and kicked a nearby Glameow who was sitting by his Paper bag. It hissed and glared at him, but bounded off when he kicked it again. He sighed, picked up the bag, and walked towards the end of his drive.

'Michael! Hey, Michael!' Michael looked up to see his friend, Marina, running towards him. 'Your Eevee's much better. come on, come and pick him up, he's been anxious to see you! And, so have I, to be honest...' She blushed and looked away. 'What was that?' Michael inquired.
'Oh... Nothing, just... Look, are you going to pick up Eevee or not? Hurry, before she rips something apart!' She giggled, dragging him by the arm towards her house. Well, Michael thought, Things ARE looking up, as he was dragged through a door to the sound of a frying pan being hurled across a kitchen and a Pokemon. Laughing.

Edit: Here's my SU.

[FONT=&quot]Name: Mark Lakes[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Gender: Male[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Age: 15[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Appearance: Mark is small for his age, standing only about 5'3" and weighing little more than 100 pounds, with scrawny muscles that have rather obviously rarely seen any use. He has pale, almost translucent skin due to rarely getting any real sun exposure, and these features combined with his light blond hair and more compact facial structure means others often mistake him for being several years younger than he is, much to his consternation. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]One look into his startlingly bright blue eyes, however, will dispel that illusion, as they reveal a deep intelligence…assuming, of course, you manage to make eye contact with Mark, which is no small feat—they are generally either staring off into space or focused on the pages of a book. Mark prefers comfortable clothing to anything else, and is usually seen wearing shorts or jeans along with a plain T-shirt or jacket, depending on the weather—oftentimes these clothes are spectacularly mismatched. Given the choice, however, he would much rather wear sweats than jeans, as he does when he sleeps and whenever he can get away with it. He's never cared much about his appearance and makes virtually no effort whatsoever to maintain it other than keeping himself clean. He also carries a black backpack that usually is so full it looks like it weighs more than he does, as it is crammed full of books at all times.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Personality: Mark is not the sort of person one would expect to see on a Pokemon journey. You can tell just by looking at him that he is more accustomed to indoor activities than anything else, and, indeed, he would much rather busy himself with sedentary pursuits such as reading or playing strategy games than go traipsing out into the wilderness looking for cute little creatures—it's not that he doesn't like[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Pokemon, as he is actually fascinated by them, but he would rather read about them or play with them at home than go searching for them.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mark is also rather socially awkward and prefers to avoid social situations when he can. He has only a few friends that he made when he was very young, and as a result he becomes reliant upon them, sometimes annoyingly so, as he will want to hang out with the same people over and over, eventually driving some to become exhausted of him. Still, even though he can be exasperating at times, Mark is kind and loyal, and none of his friends regret the trouble they went through to become close to him. Because he isn't outgoing at all, Mark's friends tend to be the opposite from him: social addicts who love hanging out with people and who are willing to go through that trouble. When he is with his friends or family, Mark is extremely comfortable and doesn't worry about embarrassing actions.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]But as close as he can try to be to his good friends, he is timid and ever concerned about being too forward when it comes to acquaintances, never making the first move when encountering other people. Due to his limited social experience, Mark will overinterpret even the smallest signals from other people, such as a smile when someone's greeting him, and he likes to believe that those who talk to him just a little like him much more than they do, though he is too timid to take the initiative to move their relationship past mere acquantainceship and will usually come off as unconfident and aloof when answering polite inquiries.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mark's parents instilled a strong sense of morality in him and he is solid in his convictions. Though his parents frustrate him sometimes—usually by trying to get him to do social activities—he has a better relationship with them than most teenagers have with their parents. They taught him the value of sticking with his commitments and finishing what he started, which is something that has helped him through everything he's attempted (admittedly not much, as he is very cautious and hates taking risks).[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mark can also be very stubborn and will stick to his guns; this has led to some conflicts with his parents, although his stubbornness usually manifests in passive-aggressivism. Despite his timid and humble attitude socially and in most other areas of his life, if he finds an area in which he is skilled, he will pursue it and practice it doggedly until he reaches the top, and can actually be quite competitive if the occasion arises. Still, he hates running the risk of being (as he sees it) embarrassed if he loses, so his competitiveness only surfaces when he knows he has a good shot at winning…or if he is already committed.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]History: Mark was born in Violet City and raised for his entire life in New Bark Town in the Johto region, an only child to two loving parents who raised him well and almost spoiled him. His father was a fairly wealthy scientist and they never had want of money; they were well-off enough that his mom could afford to stay at home. They also were able to take Mark on many trips throughout the Pokemon world, mostly to places in Johto and Kanto, but also to places as remote as Fiore. When he was ten, his parents took him to the Indigo Plateau Conference. Everywhere they went, Mark was fascinated by the Pokemon they encountered, and he began to want one of his own, but his parents didn't allow it, saying that the Pokemon in their region were too wild and unpredictable.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Undeterred, Mark turned to reading and games to simulate his desire for a Pokemon of his own, and he became engrossed in the study of these fascinating creatures. His interests expanded into a large variety of subjects, and it was not uncommon for him to spend hours captivated by his latest obsession. One of the things he came to love was strategy, and he would pore over manuals and guides and tips for the strategies to whatever game he happened to be obsessed with at the time. One such game was chess, and, when he outstripped his friends in this area (as he inevitably did when it came to these intellectual pursuits, due to his total dedication), he played mostly against his father, who was quite skilled as well, and by the time he was 14, he was winning more often than not.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mark started off attending a regular elementary school, but once he realized he was blessed with above-average intelligence, he devoted whatever spare time not dedicated to reading for pleasure/his latest obsession to his schoolwork. He quickly grew bored with the work his classmates were doing and skipped a grade, but his natural intelligence and his drive prompted his parents to withdraw him from school and homeschool him so that he could get through at his own reckless pace. This suited Mark just fine, but it also meant that, as a homeschooled only child, he had very little social interaction with other kids. He also rarely went outside, so even in a small town like New Bark Town he did not know many others, aside from his immediate neighbors and one or two kids from the school.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]He did not lead a very unique or interesting life, really, as he grew up. Despite his parents' attempts to keep him involved in activities such as sports, Mark just wasn't interested, and eventually he worked his way out of any such involvements. He had great plans for his life—he was going to be rich, whether he became a famous scientist or a doctor or a writer or what, and social activities would just take up time he could be using to improve himself and better his chances.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]His parents, however, were concerned about his withdrawal, and, knowing there was no way he was going to make it in the world without at least some[/FONT][FONT=&quot] social skills, they tried to find ways to get him out of his little bubble. Finally, the opportunity came when Derek Walsh announced the beginning of a new Pokemon league in Johto, and they managed to "convince" Mark to give it a try, knowing that the boy's sense of commitment would not allow him to quit.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Chosen starter Pokemon: Poliwag[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Nickname: Jonah[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Gender: Male[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Personality: Much to Mark's dismay, Jonah is very different from his trainer. He is friendly and easily excitable but also somewhat lazy, and occasionally Jonah refuses to obey Mark's commands if he doesn't feel like it. For the most part, however, Jonah is loyal to his trainer, even if, at least for now, he doesn't quite respect him. He will continue to watch Mark closely, judging whether or not he is worth his obedience and respect, and his hope is that Mark will grow to earn both eventually. He also tends to be a little cowardly and will run away from fights he doesn't believe he can win.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Other Information: Because of his reading habits, Mark has an extensive knowledge of literature and trivia and enjoys reciting random bits of information to his friends.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]RP Sample: [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The man and woman glanced at each other, and together looked pensively at the boy who sat before them, his eyes glued to the pages of a book, as usual, and seemingly completely unaware of their presence. Neither of them liked what they were about to do, but they had stood by and watched as their boy neglected everything other than his books at an increasingly alarming rate until he now rarely had any interaction at all. Not even his best friends came over much any more, and they lived right next door. It was sometimes difficult to get Mark even to talk to them nowadays. It was like their son was lost in the pages…[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The woman, Mark's mother, turned to her husband and whispered, "He's not going to like this, you know."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"No, he's not," Mark's father agreed.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Not one bit."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Yep."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"He'll hate us for this."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"For a little while."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]They fell silent, each taking the short pause to gather up their courage. The conversation was meaningless, just nervous parents looking for confirmation that what they were about to do was right. They had already discussed this in detail, and they had made their decision and carried it out. All that was left to do was to inform their soon-to-be very unhappy son. Still, they hated to do it, not only because Mark wasn't going to like it, but also because they truly loved him, and their decision would mean that he would be leaving home for a while. Ultimately, however, they had decided that if they truly loved him, they would have to shove him forcibly out of the nest to see if he could fly.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mark's father was confident he would. Mark's mother was a little more worried.[/FONT]

*****

[FONT=&quot]Mark glanced up and smiled as his mother tapped him on his shoulder, reluctantly putting his book aside on the couch when he saw their facial expressions. They were not interrupting him for just any reason; they were serious, and something about their postures scared him. Had he done something wrong? He tried to think back over the past day, the past week, but he could remember nothing…nothing, except for books, books, and more books, interspersed with the occasional break for a video game or a battle against the virtual chess opponent, or for food. They couldn't be mad at him…could they?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]They must have noticed him studying their expressions, because they instantly changed into the cheerful parents he knew well. Not a hint of their previous soberness remained, at least to Mark's less-than-discerning eye, but it had been there, and so he remained apprehensive as he asked, "What is it?"[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mark's parents exchanged a look, and then his father spoke up. "Mark, do you remember when we asked you if you wanted a Pokemon of your own?"[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Mark's apprehension remained, but now, along with it, ran a feeling of excitement. He had wanted his own Pokemon since he was very young. Could it be that he was finally going to get one? "Yes?"[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Well--" and here Mark's father paused to look at his mother, who gave a quick nod—"we went down to the lab and signed you up earlier, and…"[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]There was a pause, as if for dramatic effect, and Mark waited patiently for his dad to finish. Inside, though, his usual patience was nowhere to be found, and it was only with an effort that he kept himself from any outbursts. He had to have gotten the Pokemon—they wouldn't be drawing it out so much if he hadn't. But then why were they so serious before?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]After what seemed like an eternity, Mark's father finished, "…as of tomorrow, you will be the proud trainer of your very own Poliwag!"[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Yes!" Mark said, pumping his fist in a rare show of excitement. Grinning from ear to ear, Mark hugged both his parents in turn, oblivious to the fact that both had reverted to their sober expressions once again. They allowed him to continue in his excitement for a while, but finally Mark's mother gently pushed him away.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Mark…are your things packed? You're leaving tomorrow, you know."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]That stopped him dead in his tracks, and a cold feeling ran down his spine. They couldn't have. They wouldn't, would they? "What?" he asked, his apprehension returning full-force.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Mark…the situation at the lab was that if you signed up to get a Pokemon, you were indicating your commitment to participate in the first Johto Pokemon league in ten years." Mark's father's voice was quiet but firm, with a slight emphasis on the word "commitment" that stuck out like a sore thumb to Mark. His apprehension turned to anger as what his parents had done dawned on him.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"You're making me join the Pokemon league?" he asked, more than a hint of anger in his voice. He backed away from them, his blue eyes and cherubish face glaring at them with as much choler as they could possibly display.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Mark, you said you wanted a Pokemon—"[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"But you knew I would have to join the league. You knew[/FONT][FONT=&quot], and you didn't tell me! You tricked me!" Mark practically screamed the words as his father tried to reason with him. They could rationalize it all they wanted—he knew they had known exactly what they were doing, and he wasn't going to let them get away with it. Turning, he fled to his room and slammed the door, turning the lock and collapsing on his bed, fuming and raging. They wisely chose not to follow him, probably just letting him stew and get his anger out for now. He swore he would never forgive them, he wouldn't play this game of theirs, he wouldn't give them the satisfaction of winning.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]But as he inevitably cooled down, Mark knew he would not keep any of those promises to himself. His parents, knowing him as well as they did, had played the game masterfully, so masterfully that he hadn't even seen the final move coming until it was too late. Checkmate.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]He might become angry with his parents, but he would never abandon what they had taught him. The professors had worked hard at putting this league together, and they needed everyone they could get. It was one thing if he had never had anything to do with the event in the first place, but now he was signed up. Committed. They were expecting him, and it just wouldn't be right for him to let them down.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]So there it was: he would play this little game and go on this little quest, and he would see it through to the end. No less, and definitely no more. Once this league was over, Mark swore, he would never be tricked into doing something like this again.

Here it is:

NAME: Leonardo Jasmine


NICKNAME: Leo


GENDER: Male


AGE: 13


APPEARANCE: Leo is shaped like an average 13yo teen. He is 5"2, weighs 125 pounds and has skinny arms and legs. His eyes are a dark hazel colour which fits in very well with his tanned skin. At 9 years of age, Leo had a run in with a Smeargle, who, in a panic, painted his spiky hair different shades of blue. Leo decided he liked the look, and has kept his originally blonde hair in the same blue coloured fashion ever since. Leo has a birthmark, a large splotch on the side of his temple.

Leo isn't big on fashion, so he buys simple clothes with no brands, and doesn't particularly like wearing caps or sunglasses. His favourite set are his dark blue jeans, a plain white t-shirt which he trades for an identical white skivee when it gets cold, and a green shaded sleeveless denim jacket. When he sleeps he just takes off the jacket and sleeps in his shirt and jeans.


PERSONALITY: Leo is pretty quiet, but far from shy. He only speaks to his close friends, and many other people would consider him cold hearted. But this is not the case. His family is the most important thing to him in the world and he is always laughing and happy around them. He is a perfectionist, always unhappy when things are out of order or don't go his way.

He lacks confidence in things that he has never tried, which makes it a challenge for him to start a new hobby or go to a new place. Often he becomes very passionate about things after breaking that barrier. His favourite thing to do which he overcame is play baseball.
Leo hates bullies, and is always standing up for little kids or Pokemon. Because of this he gets beat up a lot, and is always getting into fights.


HISTORY: Leo was born in Cherrygrove City in the Hospital as a second child. He was raised as a normal kid, with a few friends and a pet Nidoran to play with. His parent's always expected the best out of him, helping him at every oppertunity. His big brother Sheldon, who would have been 21 when he started his journey, was also his best friend. He occasionly got into trouble, like giving the class pet Sentret a bad haircut with scizzors in Preschool. Nothing too special went on in the first years.
When he was 7, Leo gained his own personal phobia. One day when he was playing at the beach with Sheldon, he was attacked by a Krabby. Sheldon called on his Pikachu to fight back. It used Thunderbolt, but it missed and hit Leo instead. He has been scared of lightning and electric Pokemon ever since.

The problems started at 13. His brother left on a journey around the Kanto region, as Jhoto had no Pokemon League, and left Leo alone. He grew lonely and got an attitude. He was constantly fighting with his parents, even though he loved them. Then one day after school, he came home to the news that his brother was dead. There had been a cave in at Diglett's Cave and he had been crushed underneath it. Leo was shattered. The attitude vanished and he grew extremely quiet, talking to nobody at all. Sheldon had left him his backpack, which was the only remaining thing, and the grey wristband inside it. Leo kept it with him everywhere he went. Then one day he was visiting his brother's grave. He suddenly had the idea of going on his own journey, to finish what Sheldon had started for him. At that moment, he made a promise to his brother that he would fight for him, and silently left for New Bark Town without a word to anyone to sign up to Derek Walsh's new trainer sheet.


CHOSEN STARTER POKEMON: Hoppip
NICKNAME: None
GENDER: Female
PERSONALITY: Hoppip was relieved to finally be rid of the lab. She could finally see the outside world with her new trainer. She is very thankful to him for choosing her to be out of the place, and is always trying her best to make it up to him. The only thing she will not stand is being bosssed around, so she doesn't do anything outside of a battle unless she is asked politely.


OTHER INFORMATION: Biggest Baseball fan of them all! He is the star pitcher of The New-Bark Noctowls and has excellent eye-hand coordination.
Trainer Card--> (WILL BE MADE SHORTLY)


RPG SAMPLE: OK, these are samples of a story I wrote in year 7.

The boy was lying on the beach, the cool breeze blowing his spiky brown hair over his face. The palm trees swayed back and forth, and the crystal blue water rippled lightly. 'Yet another perfect day on the Twilight Islands', thought Soxar. He knew he had things to do, but he was warm and he didn't want to move. So he stayed there, resting on the yellow sand that served well as a pillow, and thought.
------
He sprinted through the forest, not caring about the fallen trees or the leaves whipping his face, the tornado-like wind stinging it. Suddenly, the air in front of him materialised into darkness and out of the darkness came a shadow. The shadow grew until it was up to his waist. It started to shape like a man. The man crouched, his face a mask of agony. His body warped. His face lost all hair, his ears, his nose, everything, until all that was left was a black oval with two piercing eyes. His fingers grew sharp and black. His feet curled on them selves. Before Soxar stood a Neoshadow, a creature of the Lightless. He knew this, because this creature had been part of his dreams.
------
"Curses..." murmured Xemnas. They ran towards him and attacked, swinging Starfragment, Bonefragment and Rosefragment as hard as they could. Xemnas swung his staff and threw them all back. They ran at him again, but he sent of balls of flame at them. They were forced back and burnt. Kurix blasted the fire with light, putting them out. Xemnas waved his hand, and six staffs of wind came out and circled them. They came in and stabbed them, but Namixe smashed them back at Xemnas, wounding him. Kurix sent ball after ball of dark aurora at him, and Xemnas sent out beings of water, which attacked. Soxar parried them and grabbed one, swinging it around and hitting the others, which disintegrated into puddles. Soxar threw the one he was holding at Xemnas, who grunted and clutched at his wounds.
Then Xemnas sent out all three at once, nearly destroying Soxar Kurix and Namixe. But they linked their weapons and a huge beam of light burst out, destroying all of the weapons that were attacking them. Soxar ran forward and stabbed Xemnas in the heart. Xemnas yelled and writhed in agony, but then there was a flash of light and he was gone. Soxar was back on the tall tower with Kurix and Namixe, watching, waiting, the Starfragment in his hands.

I too would like mention my interest in playing and hopeful that a spot can be made.

I'd like to leave a reservation in case you make anymore pokemon, but I understand others were here first. Still, this post is here, just in case. :)

Is it too late to reserve? :D

EDIT: Never mind, I just saw your post above :P Suppose I'll wait too. If there's no room for me though that's fine - I don't want any special treatment :)

Name: Bree Greene

Nickname: None.

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Appearance: Bree has a light tan complexion and she stands 5 feet 3 inches, weighing in at approximately 135lbs, she has a medium build and a round childish face with large childlike auburn colored eyes that are hidden behind a pair of thin framed black rimmed square shaped glasses. Bree's hair is brown, messy and unkempt, falling just past her shoulders when she wears it out, which is only when she goes to bed, though one could never tell because she'll always keep it tied up in a sloppy side ponytail. Her standard outfit consists of a sleeveless sky blue jacket, with a hood attached over a powdery graphic white shirt that reads "Rebel" in an artistically scrawled neon pink that goes across her chest, she wear's a pink skirt, with a rhinestone belt that has one side going lower than the other, that stops a few inches above her thighs with some shorts underneath, long knee length sky blue and white striped socks cover her legs along with white and pink sneakers, but sometimes she'll switch up and put on some loose jeans, a t-shirt and a hoodie, while slung across her shoulders is a neutral brown messenger bag. When its time for bed, Bree is usually wearing some comfortable pajama pants with Cubones on them and a large non-descript shirt. [/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]Personality: Bree may look like a stereotypical mousy bookworm, but she is far from mousy or a bookworm. She's the exact opposite, with a fiery temper that makes most people tremble, she has a bit of a bossy nature and a weakness for anything cute, but she's also very goofy and absentminded at times, she's very accepting of most people and Pokémon, learning not to judge on how they look but rather their personality and the way they act. Bree is very kind, she hates seeing people less fortunate than her and she has it, then she'll give it, feeling good knowing that she's done something that would make another person happy, despite her mood. She's also has somewhat of a passive aggressive attitude when it comes to helping herself however, seeing as how she is quick to help others in need but when others try to help her, she'll often refuse, she doesn't like to burden others with her problems, so she tends to keep them to herself. Bree is somewhat of a typical girl, she gushes about boys and loves to shop, she also loves working at the shop with her parents and sweets, mostly due to the fact that she's around nothing but sweets and baked goods 24/7.[/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]
History: Before learning about Professor Derek's add for trainers, Bree worked at her parents local bakery, located near the edge of town called Greene's Baked Goods, it was one of the many tourist attractions New Bark Town had to offer and their business was great during the holidays. Bree is the Bakery's delivery girl, running orders around town with the family Pokémon Girafarig, not allowed to step foot in the kitchen because the last time Bree tried to bake something, she caused an explosion, which ruined their kitchen and they were out of treats for a weak, which sent business spiraling down for a while, but they quickly resolved that problem and ultimately banned their daughter from the kitchen, not that she minded. [/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]Considering the fact that New Bark Town is a pretty small town, she knows just about every adult, because at one point in time most of them have stopped by to place an order that she had to deliver and the little kids love her because when she has extra sweets, she'll stop by and give them some, much to the dismay of their parents, who would rather not have a bouncing, sugar-high 5 year old to look after later on that night.[/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]A dream of hers, when she was younger, was to enter the Pokémon league one day and beat the champion. Her parents would often tell stories of when they were younger and kids from all over would come to Johto and face the league, fighting their way to the top of the ranks to become champions, only to be shot down by the champion, though on a few occasions, there were trainers who would almost beat the current champion. With her parents telling her stories of their journeys when they were younger and how they met all their Pokémon, friends and rivals Bree vowed that she would become a Pokémon trainer one day too, wanting to be just like her mom and dad, meeting new Pokémon and making new friends, so when she and Girafarig were out on their regular rounds and an add about receiving a Pokémon from the Professor blew in her face, Bree jumped at the chance, forgetting about her deliveries, she quickly ran back home to tell her parents the news. . . and left poor Girafarig to finish the rounds by himself.[/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]Chosen starter Pokemon:

Nickname: Buzz
Gender: Male
Personality: Buzz is a quiet, easily excitable and inquisitive Elekid. Upon meeting other people he very shy, until warming up to them, once Bree earns his trust, Buzz could be the best partner for a girl like her. He sometimes has trouble with controlling his electrical energy and because Buzz is easily excited he has a tendency to let off a shower of sparks, whenever he's happy, surprised, sad or angry, much to the chagrin of Bree, who somehow always winds up on the end of said shocks.[/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]Other Information: The scent of sugar and fried dough always lingers on her clothes because she's always around the bakery. Bree finds it somewhat embarrassing whenever little kids from the neighborhood tell her that she smells like a pastry of some kind.

RPG Sample:

Spoiler:

"Ohh Hang in there Bell... I've almost got the boat flipped over!"

"Beellllsprouuuutttt" Squirtle had begun to zigzag rapidly, still trying to shake Bell off its shell, while Bell had switched from Vine Whip to Wrap, vines were tight on its neck "Squirtle" he growled determined to get the flower off its back "Squirtle Squirt!" Bell's eyes widened when she felt her body begin to sink under the water, Squirtle was going to dive! "Hold your breath Bell!" Bell nodded and took a big gulp of air, seconds before Squirtle descended under the lake "Okay... Bell probably won't last long... I need to get this boat flipped back over" Misa mumbled gripping the side of the boat and with all the strength she could muster, she flipped the boat over "Yes!" Misa scrambled out of the water and climbed onto the boat "Ugh... when this is all over I need a nice hot bath and meal" she grumbled moving a blue wet bang from her face.

"Bellsproutttt!"

Bell had suddenly been shot out of the water like a cannon, she was being propelled upwards by a geyser of water, which Misa had assumed come from Squirtle's Water Gun, but said turtle was nowhere in sight, most likely hidden under the water "Bell over here! Vine Whip!" Misa waved at the airborne flower, who nodded and used her vines to latch onto the rim of the boat and she began reel herself back in "Squirtle!" but the sudden appearance of Squirtle popping out from under her and butting heads with her when she was halfway near the boat ruined that plan.

"Squirt.Tllllllllleeee!"

Bell lost her grip and was sent flying back high in the air from another point blank Water Gun to the face "Shake it off Bell, I need you to grab it with Vine Whip" Bell nodded "Bellsprout!" she then righted herself in the air and fired Vine Whip at Squirtle, who had used Water Gun to propel himself forward, intent on tackling Bell again "Sprout!" Her vine's latched tightly onto Squirtle's shell and Misa smirked and so did Bell "Now Vine Whip into Wrap" Squirtle's eyes went wide when Bell's grip tightened and she began to spin around with Squirtle at arms length "Sq-Squirt!" it had a bad feeling about this.

"Okay, now lets send em flying!" she exclaimed pumping a fist forward "Toss it Bell!"

"Belllsprouuuttt" after a few more seconds of spinning, Bell stopped and with a powerful swing, still in mid-air mind you, she tossed the Squirtle across the lake, but the Tiny Turtle had enough sense to withdraw into its shell while he skipped across the water's surface and then onto the bank near the lake "Hehe he looked like a skipping stone" Misa giggled to herself watching as Bell had landed safely in the boat before bringing the engine to life and steering it to where the Squirtle had landed. Misa and Bell found the Tiny Turtle lying on its back, gripping at the air, currently trying to right itself "Squirtle! Squirtle Squirt!"

Name: Thomas Barry

Nickname: "Tomberry"

Gender: Male

Age: 13

Appearance: Tom Barry is a young man of about an average build, with a height of 5'7" and a tan skin complexion. He has a mat of coarse, brown hair, naturally spiky from years of never running a comb through them. His facial expression ranges from melancholy to serious, his brow often furrowing into a tight stare through his hazel eyes.

His attire typically is made up of a plain, gray shirt, blue slacks, and a pair of large, black sneakers. He wears a large, black leather jacket, almost dwarfing him in size, with two large pockets, containing a number of different items in their contents. His most prominent and recognizable article of clothing is a gray flat cap; rarely is Tom ever seen without wearing it, taking it with him even in the bathroom and bedroom.

Personality: Thomas could be described as somewhat of a loner. At first glance, he seems to be very distant from other people, and rarely ever attempts to make close friendships with others. In truth, Tom would like to make friends with others, but finds it very hard to do so with people. He's much more closer with his Pokémon, and one can only assume it comes naturally. When with his animal companions, Tom can be seen as significantly much happier, upbeat and open towards other people.

Perhaps a defining trait of Tom's would be his willingness to fight and to win. The question as to why he so desperately wants to become a great trainer is a personal one and very close to home. Growing up, Tom felt that much of his parents' attentions were directed at his older and younger sisters, leaving him as the middle child. His want to succeed is his desire for attention from them, especially his father, and from everyone. It is so strong that takes loss very personally, becoming rather depressed after having not won a fight.

History: As a young man, Logan Barry left his home town of Olivine City and set out on a journey to become a Pokémon trainer. In his many travels across the Johto region, he had caught many different creatures, faced many different fighters, and from these experiences entered to compete in the Pokémon League championship. Despite being an accomplished trainer, Logan lost before he could make it into the final rounds and decided to continue on his own, personal journey. Eventually, his travels found him in New Bark Town, where he met his future-wife Barbara and settled down.

Logan and Barbara conceived three children, two daughters, Maya and Nana, and a son, Thomas. The family lived quite comfortably in New Bark Town, often assisted by many of the Pokémon Logan had caught and trained in his travels. Tom, the middle child of the family, often felt overlooked by his parents in favor of his two sisters, and found it very difficult to grow friendships with children of his own age. However, he found he greatly enjoyed the company of Pokémon, and would look to his father's companions as those of his own.

Having heard of the announcement of the Pokémon League being re-established and the call for new trainers, Tom found himself excited by the prospect, wanting to undertake the journey as his father had done. Unfortunately, Logan would not allow his son the chance to do so, with some convincing from his mother, that he was safer staying at home. When he tried to argue the point, his father grew angry and grounded him, leaving him only able to travel to school and back home. Of course, Thomas felt he would not be denied what may have been his one chance to succeed; that night, he packed for himself a large bag, and the following morning, appeared to have left for school as always. In truth, he remained near the house, hiding from out of sight to watch as his parents left for the day. Then, with the aide of Logan's Pokémon, he grabbed his traveling things and made his quickly as he could to for the home of Prof. Walsh.

Chosen Starter Pokémon: Krabby

Nickname: (I'm having trouble deciding on a name… with your permission, I'll choose one if this is accepted.)

Gender: Male

Personality: Tom's Krabby is… well, crabby. He is very temperamental and does not warm up to other easily, something both he and his trainer share in common. Another trait the two both share is their desire to win; Krabby will not back down in a fight and will rarely stop for any reason. At first, Tom did not take kindly to his starter partner, and the feeling was reciprocated, but after some time, the two empathized with each other and grew to be very close as a team.

Other Information: Thomas keeps with him a sketchbook, containing a number of different drawings of Pokémon, both his father's and those belonging to him.
