Escapade

[Whitewash]

This is my first Pokémon RP. Ever. So wish me luck! :nervous:

Story:

On the small island of Escapade, there is a village, aptly named after the island it's on. It is, by no means, an island which is technologically obsolete, but being so far away from other places, it has its own sorts of odd traditions. One of them includes a journey to a not-so-distant land.

Every year, a group of children age thirteen to sixteen travel to Johto, which is the closest landmass to their tiny isle. There, they are allowed to become official Pokémon trainers, gain all eight Johto League badges, and participate in the League Tournament. But few take this journey, as it is perilous in more than just a few ways. Their main obstacle is the Whirl Islands, where the great Lugia makes its nest. And this year, something very strange has happened...

It seemed that a group of poachers had wished to try and capture Lugia, and once they met the legendary creature, angered it by attacking and trying to capture it. Lugia, being so immensely strong, blew the Whirl Islands apart with a single Aeroblast and created a storm near Escapade that nearly tore the island up. The storm has since moved to Johto, but is still as strong as ever.

The current group of kids who are in the middle of their journey (4th badge-ish), don’t know of this yet, but they will very soon, as their next destination is Cianwood!

You know the rules. No powerplaying, godmoding, blah de blah. You can control another's character slightly with their consent or if they haven’t posted in a month, but make sure the the character is not out-of-character when you’re auto-ing them. Follow the standard RP rules, stickied on the Roleplay board, and please read the plot before posting anything. Also, mind your spelling and your grammar. If you can't type at least a paragraph (read: six sentences) of, um, decent English, you shouldn't be RPing. At least, not here.

Anyways...

Form

Name:
Age: (13-16)
Gender:

Appearance:

Personality: (I have seen waaay too many stereotypes when people are typing up their character’s personalities. Please, do be original. No dark, mysterious types, angsty emo kids-if you do have an angsty character, you better have a good history-, or Mary-Sues/Gary-Stus.)

Pokémon: (Up to six, but can be less... Please describe personality; Pokémon are not mindless robots. Absolutely no super-powerful Pokémon, and no evolved forms past level 25. Ex: You can't have a Tentacruel because a Tentacool evolves at level 30.)

History: (Optional, but preferred. I have also seen waaay too many “abandoned when he/she was a baby, picked up by an old, loving couple” or “abusive parents, ran away, Pokémon are only friends.” Besides, they came from a tiny island between Cianwood and the Whirl Islands. Where could you possibly run away to? )

Other: (Optional. NO-your character is not a master at martial arts, nor is he/she psychic. No, no, no. Also, in this one, it’s impossible to understand a Pokémon’s speech-read the little note below the character description.)

RP Sample: (Make it fairly long, please. Like, I dunno, twelve sentences at the least.)

Name: Rory Alsond
Age: 14
Gender: Female

Appearance:

Rory is considered slim, but not too tall. At a maximum height of five foot three, she is not the biggest person out there. Her skin is fairly tan from living on an island with few trees, with shoulder-length brown hair let down and greyish green eyes. In terms of what you'd consider attractive, she doesn't stand out from the crowd. Her shirt is a pale blue t-shirt, but she's usually wearing a light, white jacket over that. Her pants are denims, she wears a pair of worn black sneakers, and she has a sandy brown backpack at her back to carry all of her supplies and whatever other necessities she may need. Her Pokéballs, unlike the usual trainer, who has them on their belt, are hidden in a pocket in her backpack.

Personality:

Despite her average appearance, her personality is somewhat complex. Rory is a quiet, mistrusting individual, who could be staring at you coldly one minute and laughing at you the next. Her speech is often tinted with a lot of sarcastic lines, and although she often doesn't look towards the darker side of life, is oddly silent at times. She is no means dark, just a bit on the shy side. Her trust and friendship are hard to gain, however, and even if you've known her for a year, she won't be welcoming you with wide open arms... During battles, she is strangely calm and can anger those with little patience just by being oh-so-smooth. A few who know her sometimes whisper that she is a bit on the sadistic side and enjoys seeing Pokémon get hurt. This hasn't really been proven of yet, but if you look closely, you might be able to spot a tiny smirk on her face during battle, especially when a Pokémon faints.

Pokémon:

Seel, Male, "Frost"- Frost was her first Pokémon, when she got it among a litter of Seel pups found by the local daycare people. It's the strongest in her team, she believes, and acts quite cocky when it comes time to battle, knowing Rory thinks he's best. He also tends to think of himself was the leader of her team, although Rory knows better than that. He’s made for water, and mostly used in water battles.

Sandslash, Male, "Slice"- Slice is quick with his claws and even faster to make an impression on other Pokémon. He is extremely fast for a Sandslash and can zip around a field with frightening speed, except his eyesight is not so good. So he may miss now and then, but he can always use a sand attack to make things even. Off the battlefield, he doesn't have much of an outstanding personality.

Bayleef, Female, “Aroche”- Roche is Rory’s starter Pokémon. Like all trainers, Rory got a Pokémon from the local Pokémon professor. She is a rather happy-go-lucky creature and hardly notices anything bad that’s going on around her. In battle, she uses scent attacks more than actual, physical attacks. At the end of the battle, however, she usually ends up winning because of that.

Flaafy, Female, “Static”- Static was found rummaging the route nearby Lake of Rage. The electric sheep was a rather unlucky one, having been found by an eager trainer and ground to the floor by a Sandslash. If Static could be considered anything at all, she would be considered quirkish. Her head jerks constantly from left to right, and she is consistently alert. Static is constantly discharging her fleecy wool and she can sometimes accidentally shock things even when she’s not thinking about it. Unlike Slice, however, her vision is excellent and she makes a very good bird Pokémon battler.

Slugma, Male, “Burnumup”- Rory honestly can’t remember where that name came from. But it has stuck. The Slugma was found on the floor of the Burnt Tower, leaving behind a trail of flaming goo. Burnum is slow to reaction, has little charisma, and his sluggish body often leaves signs of his presence there. He is not the greatest fighter, but his body can burn any creature to the touch, making him hard for fighting types to hit.

History:

Rory was born on Escapade, raised in Escapade, and got her first Pokémon from the professor on Escapade. Her life has been pretty average for a citizen of the island until now. She knows both of her parents, and her grandparents live nearby on Cianwood Island. When she turned fourteen, she got a letter from the Johto Pokémon Laboratory telling her that she was eligible to become an official Pokémon trainer. She couldn’t pass up the offer.

So she went off on her journey with the others, battling, training, and having fun on the way while gathering badges. So far, she does have all four current badges, and is rearing to get her fifth.

Other:

Rory has always loved cooking, and tries out new recipes with anything she can find for stress relief. Her parents were never the greatest cooks, so she often ended up cooking for them with the ingredients they bought. Every week they’d go to the grocery store, and it ended up something like this:

Mother: “Hey, Rory, what do you think this tastes like?”

Rory: “How am I supposed to know?”

Father: “Well, it wouldn’t hurt to try it.”

Rory: “But how am I supposed to know how to cook it? I’ve never even heard of it before!”

Since then, she has always been making up new dishes and writing down the ones she enjoys-and others enjoy-best.

RP Sample:

The sky was blue and crystalline-not a cloud marred its beauty. But because of that, it was becoming unbearably hot. Rory fanned herself with a piece of paper that was being blown slightly from the warm wind. Even though the canopy of trees overhead provided some relief, it still didn’t help the fact that it was about eighty degrees out there.

“Why does it have to be so hot?” groaned the sluggish, staggering girl. A jacket was tied around her waist, and the weight of the backpack on her back seemed to be getting to her. Her back was beginning to curve slightly as the heat of the day, the weight of her backpack, the warmth of her jacket (even on her waist) and everything else was taken in. Rory really just wanted to throw everything out and go to sleep. She stared down at the floor. Mm-hmm... She’d suuure love to just fall over right now and...

“Woah!” Her hands landed firmly on a large rock that was directly in the middle of the path she was on. “A rock?” No, it seemed to be more than a rock... In fact, weren’t those arms folded at the sides? The rock literally unrolled itself, firmly setting four arms on the ground. With a surly grin, it opened its eyes and faced the girl who dared disturb its sleep.

“Gra-Graveler!” Rory staggered away from it and threw off her backpack. Reaching inside of it, her hands found a small orb-like thing amongst the clothing and the various other items in there. She yanked it out, whatever it was, tossed it out, and yelled, “Go!”

The Pokéball split open, flashes of electricity letting the once-digital data straight out into the open and turning it back into a living creature. Sitting on the grass was a...

“Baa,” bleated the Mareep.

-

On another note, you won’t be able to understand what a Pokémon says in this RP. Although the characters will be able to pick up hints of what their Pokémon is trying to say (just a little more than we can understand our own pets), they won’t understand them word for word.

Hope I'm not being too rough. :\

[Charon]

Name: Penelope Ann Bryony Vulpes (Vix)
Age: 15
Gender: female

Appearance: Vix looks just like any travelling girl should; a bit roughed up around the edges, but full of the spunk and spark of youth. Vix is moderately tall, but never having measured herself, Vix has no idea how tall exactly. She's relatively slender, but she's got enough muscle on her bones to cling to the tiller in even the roughest of storms.
Vix has grey blue eyes (traveller's eyes, her father always had said) and mousey brown hair, which is so threaded with beads, braids and plaits it looks almost dreadlocked. It falls to her shoulders, but several of the breads she's tied in reach far lower. There are also several feathers threaded in there somewhere, mainly jay feathers that match her eyes.
She wears short, frayed denim shorts and a very baggy, very crinkled white shirt. A thick leather belt hangs loosely around her waist - it has her balls attached to it.
Around her neck, she wears a big, lilac-tinted piece of mother-of-pearl on a black string. A rough silhouette of a fox is engraved on the underside.

Pokémon:
Fearow - Whistler - Male
Whistler was Vix's first ever pokemon, who she found as a little egg bobbing in the surf on a beach. If it hadn't been for Vix, Whistler would have most likely been washed away and died, but due to her love and care he hatched into a gutsy, if not scrawny spearow, and grew into Vix's best friend.
Whistler's feathers a a strange shade of browny-grey, and he has a peculiar gunshot wound in his left wing. When he soars the wind rushes threw it in such a way it whistles - hence his name. He is rather proud of this paticular battlescar, which he recieved when harrassing the chief of police - something he still finds joy out of doing.
The fearow has a paticularly disposition, especially when it's cold or he's faced with a less grizzled pokemon than himself. His bad temper often gets the better of him, but he is rarely in his ball. Most of the time, his huge form is perched on Vix's shoulder, his long gangling neck swinging as she walks.

Folly - Butterfree - Female
Folly is an extremely meek pokemon, the sort that would never say a word against anyone nor allow herself to hear one. She loves to help out in anyway way possible, most most of the time she just gets in the way. Because of this is Folly is rarely used in battle - she's too considorate.

Felrane - Growlithe - Male
Felrane is definetly a born battler; he loves a good scrap. He's easy get along with, but once he latches on to something - whether it's an idea, a hatred towards someone, or the seat of a postman's trousers - he doesn't let go. At least, not without a fight.


History: Vix was born in Escapade. Her father was a trainer, and her father's father was a trainer... They were the famous 'red foxes', a handle which derived not only from their surnames, but from their vulpine partners. They weren't rich, but her father finally decided to settle in Escapade after her grandad died. He soon married a local woman, the daughtor of a rich local merchant, and hence, 'Penelope Ann Bryony Vulpes' was born. For a while, The famous Red Fox played happy families - until he got bored and took off into the night.
For a while, Penelope's mother managed to keep her under control. At home. Safe. But then the little girl found an egg. The egg hatched. And little miss Penelope found herself with a partner.
Penelope and her spearow became incredibly close - the way young children and their pets do - and between them, they hatched a plan to find Penelope's Daddy.
The little girl ran away, and tried to get to Johto, only to find that her father had been a famous Red Fox. Determined to live up to his name, Penelope renamed herself Vix and set out to become the 'Lilac Fox', a legend in her own right. Vix returned home, and set out on a journey to Johto with the other children her own age.

Other: None right now.

RP Sample:
"Kraaaaaaa!"
The little house on the seafront was bathed in moonlight. It was a quaint little thing, with a wide bay window overlooking the sea. The oceon surged and ebbed, as it always had done, and the sea birds wheeled and called. From somewhere inside, a bird was cawing, a noise that was brusque and harsh against the silence of the seafront.
"Penelope!" a woman's voice snapped shrilly, and a light upstairs flickered on, "Shut that darned spearow up, y'here?"

There was no reply.

The front door was already clicking open, and a young girl emerged. She was a pretty little thing, with mousey brown hair, and blue eyes, and the sort of innocent, freckled face normally associated with those cheery victorian street urchins from the movies. She looked little older than ten, and dressed in baggy shorts and a pretty lilac blouse, there was no doubt she had a comfortable upbringing.
On her shoulder, a scraggly little spearow was perched. He was a scrawny looking thing, and his bright, intelligent eyes flicked rapidly down the streets. He whistled softly.
"Kraaaa!" he chirruped, in his rough spearow voice. The girl seemed to understand; she nodded, and shut the door gently behind her.
"Right, Whistler!" she announced, being carefull not to raise her voice, "Let's find Daddy!"
The bird ruffled his feathers in reply, and the pair set off along the dark winding allies of Escapade city.

{ooc| this is a character I've used before - just in case any of you lot recognise her.}

[Beta Trainer]

Name: Aaron Elijah Frost
Age: 15
Gender: Male

Appearance: Aaron, at first sight, seems your typical adventure loving, rough-tough clone. Aaron has dark green/olive colored eyes, with spiky [most of the time] fair hair, with a fringe covering most of his brow. He is quite muscular, which sets off an alarm for some of the popular girls in his local school [he hates this attention from them].

Aaron's current travelling clothes, which he wears most of the time, is a long-sleeved white shirt, with a buttoned jet black over shirt and white denim jeans with domino trainers. His belt-bag is a light brown, and is strapped around his waist, and has his Pokéballs clipped along the side.

Personality: Aaron can be sarcastic and picky, but when it comes to more serious matters, you won't find anyone better! Friendly and willing to help, he would be there if someone was having a bad day. Can be a comedian and always up for a laugh, but if he see's something possible in his future, he holds onto it. Sensitive deep inside, kind and also loving.

Pokémon:

Flare - Charmeleon - Male
Flare was Aaron's first Pokémon! He found Flare as a weak Charmander struggling to survive at the age of eight. Flare was weak and about to give up, when young Mr. Frost came to the rescue. Aaron immediately sprang to the poor Lizard Pokémon's help, and, with the good hearts of caring friends and family, raised him, just like a Mother [well, sort of]. On an extra note, Flare, when a Charmander, decided with Aaron to evolve into Charmeleon.

Flare has a gentle greeting with everyone he meets, but a fiery temper comes upon those who wish to anger him! Flare finds peace in procrastinating and lying about with no bother - if he dosen't feel like helping Aaron at the time [which is sometimes rare], he won't bat an eyelid in response. Annoy or anger him, and you're in for a good scorching.

Lily - Umbreon - Female
Lily followed Aaron around a lot [when she wasn't his Pokémon], deciding to see Aarons worthiness and to check if he could indeed make a living of being friends with Pokemon. Second to Flare, Lily and Aaron probably have the most chemistry together. It seemed that when Lily was in trouble, Aaron came to the rescue. When an incident involving Team Rocket occured, Aaron risked his safety for Lily, with his good heart. Realising the potentiol of Aaron, Lily became Aaron's Pokemon.

Lily is most defitnely the mother and voice of reason in the team. She can be snappish and short-nerved, but has a good heart and looks out for everybody else. Lily is the wittiest, and guides the team in times of trouble

Logan - Beedrill - Male
Logan [AKA Beedrill] came about as a runaway Pokémon from the Azalea Town Gym [he was in-training at the time]. When Bugsy himself asked Aaron to help, the young man agreed, hoping to recieve a definite Journey highlight. A showdown erupted in the forest, and, bringing out a Fastball [which Kurt the Pokéball extraodinare had made] caught Logan easily. Bugsy allowed Aaron keep him, because of his efforts that day.

Logan is a bit of a show off, and a joker too. He is the entertainer of the group, and tends to wander carelessly sometimes. He is independent outside of battling, but knows when his Trainer his not just playing around. He can be called out if his speed - or deadly stingers - are needed! Logan enjoys a good rest [and a small tendacy for pampering] now and again.

History: Aaron Frost was born to Marie and Mathew Frost on June 21, 1991. His family has had a ripple of Pokemon trainers in the past, but not enough to impress [this is why Aaron is on a journey with the other trainers around his age]. His Grandfather came 4th in the Johto League, and still talks about it, much to Aaron's fortune. His Mother being a baker, and his Father being an athlete, he has obviously recieved at least one of his parents talents.

Aarons older brother, Luke [who had protected Aaron from the heat], died in an explosion by Team Rocket when Aaron was just a young boy of three. He believed that Luke was just taking a nap, but, unfortunately, learned the gruesome truth later on, much to his dismay. Aaron has always wanted to avenge his brother, but never found it in his heart to do so [after all, he is sensitive and wouldn't wish to do such a thing!].

Other: Aaron is a talented soccer play and swimmer [once, he almost got claimed by the ocean, before a myserious underwater creature helped him] and, ultimately, the bakery talents have not been passed to him. Aaron is a mess at baking.

RP Sample:

The sun was a bright goldenrod, and it cast a ray of light along the gravel, emitting the shadows of two young boys, standing opposite of eachother. There faces shone with little beads of sweat, as each one waited for the other to call the first move. Both kept silent, yet ready to pounce at any moment. The first boy, known throughout the year only as Darren, sprang forward after bearing the tension for much too long. The second boy, Aaron Frost, grinned.

"Lets go, Chikorita, use your Razor Leaf!" Darren signaled to the small, lime-colored, almost-terrier like creature in front of him. It nodded, and, with a swish of the long leaf that sat atop its head, sent out a flurry of pin-sharp leaves. Aaron broke the sound of whizzing leaves.

"Flare, buddy, lets use Ember!" The Charmeleon, a large, lizard-like creature with a long tail which had a burning flame at the tip, nodded, and let out several medium pieces of flame and rock. They disintegrated the leaves, and headed for the Chikorita, who didn't move quickly enough. It fell to the ground, fainted. Aaron beamed, and felt a tug at his shoulder.

"Wake up, doofus!"

Aaron sighed. Just the other guys in his year. Aaron thought happily to himself about what he had just seen. It seemed too real. He stroked the Pokéballs that were sitting deep within his pocket.

Watch out, Johto. Here I come.

[charizard_maa]

Name: MIke Anone
Age: 16

Gria (Girafarig)- Male.
Mike trains this pokemon to help back up Char. Gira like to make sure that everything goes as plan and not going give up wiht out a fight. Gira is the most likely to help Mike if Char is unable to help. One way Gira helps Char by using Tunderbolt on pokemon that Char can't easily beat.

RP Sample:MIke was walking the streets of Goldenrod City with Char by his side. Char perfers to be out wiht Mike because of her protectiveness of him. MIke guessed it was because she consider him physcal weak but she respected his him. MIke understood and was ok on her view on him. He found it great that he was never alone when he had his charmeleon who is his most powerful pokemon. He hoping that soon it would evole.

"Hey you kid." yelled a small boy.

"Yeah. Are you talking to me?" asked Mike.

"Yeah you. I heard that you are some tough kid here. YOu were able to beat the gym leader here." said the kid.

"Yeah. I guess. It wasn't that hard." said MIke.

"Well I like to battle you." said the kid. "Go Raticate. Hyper Fang." A little raticate appeared ready to battle.

"So it is a battle you want?" asked MIke. "Ok. Go forward and attack with a Ember attack."

The Raticate shot forward to attack Char but was hit with the firely attack.

The raticate then fell back and then the kid said, "Use Iron Tail."

The Raticate tail glowed shine and sot at Char.

"Use Brick Break." said MIke. Char then shot it claw at the Raticate which did a lot of damage.

"Finish it with a Ember attack again." said Mike. This was the the attack that finish the battle.

"Man. Great." said the kid.

"Yeah. Sorry. That how the cookie crumb." Said MIke. Char then ran up to MIke and hugged him. She was glad that Mike was happy. Mike smile and said, "Yeah. I glad you happy too. LEt go take a break." The two then walk towards a pokemon center.

[Muse]

Huzzah! A Role-play that hasn't been posted in to death! *pounces upon* X3

Name: Sam(antha) Wilson
Age: 15
Appearance: The first time you ever seen Sam, she's likely to be spacing off. As such, she has a very spacy appearance. She has green eyes, generally partially closed like she's tired, and an average-tan complexion. She has light auburn hair hidden beneath a red bandana. Sam really quite likes casual clothes like blue jeans and T-shirts. Lastly, she wears a red apron with the white Pokemon symbol and a blue wristband. (PKMN Breeder sprite, anyone? XD)

Personality: In short, Sam is a bit of a silly ditz. One most likely to be found spacing off, earning her the nickname of 'Space Cadet.' Hardly anything fazes her optimistic personality and she will become friends with the oddest of people. She enjoys trying new things and helping people out, but that usually ends up in disaster...

Pokemon:

Strawberry the Slowpoke: If you didn't guess that a Slowpoke would be a part of the party, shame upon you! Strawberry is your typical Slowpoke: a good bit on the slow side. She was Sam's first Pokemon, found when Sam was fishing -- one of the few things she's found a talent in and another thing in common with the Slowpoke. She'll usually be seen swimming or sun basking when not battling her little heart out.

Speed the Yanma: A very aptly named bug Pokemon. Speed is, of course, speedy. He became a part of the team when he happened to buzz by the windows of Sam's house, breaking every single windowpane. Her dad, in a fury due to his just putting in new windows, caught him in an instant and gave her to Sam on the condition that they stay away from the house! When let out from his Pokeball, he'll instantly start zooming around blissfully, grateful for the rare freedom.

Koryl the Corsola: A quiet and polite little Corsola. She was captured by Sam's fishing and has remained a loyal member ever since. She likes battling, but is very proper about it and will attack even harder when her own 'rules of battling' are broken. For instance: Ladies first, especially if that lady happens to be a Corsola.

History: Born in Cianwood, she and her parents moved to Escapade when she was barely old enough to talk. Her dad was an excellent Pokemon trainer and can supposedly "catch any Pokemon in one go, no matter how strong." No one is sure whether Sam inherited this talent or not. The two Pokemon she caught by herself didn't exactly...count...She enjoys fishing and loves the ocean because of the time she's spent near it. When her first Pokemon was a water type, she was entirely overjoyed. When the Pokemon League letter came, she began packing that night.

RP Sample: (It turned out to be WAY longer than I planned...o_o)

The sun was so bright that day. So wonderfully bright, the golden orb floating in the air. She watched it through the tree canopy, laying on her back and squinting when a strong breeze brushed the guardian leaves out of the way and unleased the rays into her eyes. She yawned and stretched, tapping the fishing pole with her bare feet, hoping for a catch. She would never keep the fish she caught. No, they deserved to stay in the water where they belonged, not crammed into some crummy old Pokeball. Her watery Pokemon partners agreed with her in part, but it was hard to travel without a container of some sort to fill with a decent amount of water. Something like that.

"Slooooooooooooooooow..." Strawberry yawned, wagging her tail in the water. Occasionally she would roll over into the same position Sam was in and snooze for a bit, then sit back up. She sat still for a while, but then frowned and scouted away from the water and nursed her tail. Sam glanced at her with a confused look. Suddenly, the fishing line went tight. Was it the thing that bit Strawberry's tail?

She crawled towards the pole and stared at the water behind it. Nothing could be seen there: No shadow, no ripple, no bubbles, no nothing. But the reel on the fishing pole kept spinning until it reached its end. With a great jerk it flew from the ground and flew towards the large river. Much faster than she usually moved, she jumped up from her spot and tackled the fishing pole with a cry.

"Oh, no you don't! YWAAAAHHH!" As soon as her arms were around the rod, she was dragged along with it, flying on the thin but strong thread. Whatever the fish was, it was stronger and faster than anything she had ever caught, whipping her around as it tried to shake off the string. That's exactly what happened with a great crack, sending the young trainer back to her spot on the ground, somersaulting with the momentum, and the fishing pole into the river. She lay sprawled out on the grass, dizzy and slightly nauseous, maybe a few bruises, but otherwise okay, Strawberry staring at her in confusion.

The water near her head stirred, suddenly erupting in a white spray. Out of it rose a leviaithan of a sea serpent, Gyarados. A very peeved Gyarados.

Sam paled, staring at the upside-down Pokemon in shock and soaking wet from the watery eruption. "Oh, flip..." she squeaked. Gyarados sucked in a deep breath and Sam braced herself, knowing what was coming. The water dragon was bound to use Hyper Beam. At least it'd be quick, although that didn't make it any better! It raised its head and exhaled...

And from its mouth popped her fishing rod, landing on her torso as the Gyarados sunk back into the depths. She grabbed the rod, her eyes wide and timid, and then frowned suddenly.

"Ewwwww, Gyarados spit..."

[Whitewash]

Argh, I feel so hyper right now. Sorta ironic, considering that I was sleepy just a few minutes ago.

Uhhh... OK. Um, everybody's accepted. I guess. But I'm still giving, I guess, until Saturday night (EST) for people to join and improve their character forms and whatnot before we start. ^^

[Volkner's Apprentice]

Wow, not too crowded here. Perfect ^^ (I'll just use my entry from another rp, if thats alright)
Name: Ryan Aquane
Age: 15
Gender: Male

Appearance: Shaggy blonde hair, necklength, deep blue eyes, 5'7'', blue t-shirt with a grey pokeball on it, black overvest with clips for pokeballs and pockets for the essentials, baggy blue jeans, white skater shoes, crescent moon necklace.

Personality: Calm, cool, and collected as always, Ryan fits in well with all sorts of people. As long as he isn't too self-concious about something, he can be focused and determined to what he puts his mind to. He's generally a nice person but isn't afraid to argue when standing up for something he's apart of. He enjoys all sorts of activities as long as he has a friend there with him.

Pokémon:
Poliwhirl-male-Ryan's first pokemon. His loyal and trusted companion is smart, adorable, and fast as can be. He's helped him win a few gym battles as well as most of his regular ones. Poliwhirl just recently evolved and Ryan refuses, through some nags of his fellow trainers, to evolve it soon into one of it's third stages. As a true water pokemon trainer he doesn't want to diminish his best partner's best asset: it's speed.

Doduo-Female-Ryan caught Doduo when his family visited Fuschia City on a vacation. She's often seen quabbling between her two heads which never seem to agree on anything except obeying a battle move. She's a little noisy but a sweet bird once you get used to her.

Mantine-Male-While on his journey with the others, Ryan saw Mantine wounded on a rock. Extremely unusual for such a pokemon to be away from the sea as well as injured in the open, Ryan captured it and took it to a center immedietly. After releasing it healed, it didn't trust Ryan and escaped into the wild. It returned when Ryan was going up against the new Ecruteak City Gym Leader for the second time and came through for him. Now he's a great asset to the team and loves to play with the other trainers.

Shellder-Male-The most annoying pokemon you'll ever meet, Shellder likes to cause mischief. It's not that he's disobeyant, because he's been a great pokemon for Ryan. It's just he gets out of hand a little with his Ice Beam all the time. Ryan will wait until Shellder learns to cooperate and be polite to evolve him into a Cloyster.


History: Born in Slateport City in Hoenn, Ryan and his family moved to the island when his brother was born (at age 3). He grew up loving the ocean but he was always a little afraid of it. He loved english, writing, reading, history and all kinds of sports and he couldn't wait to become a pokemon trainer.

Other: none

RP Sample: (Hopefully it doesn't have to be pokemonish =P)
She kept running down the crowded hallway. What else could she do? No one knew who he was except her. All she had to do was make sure no one saw her. Laura pushed through the people walking in her direction, eyeing back to see how far he was. He wasn’t far behind nor was he closing in so as long as she kept dodging through the masses she could get to the art wing where, at this time, she knew no one would be near. She dashed past the bathrooms and took a sharp corner before slowing down to catch her breath. Laura pushed back a lock of brown hair and sighed in contempt. No one could see now, she would be safe to use it. And before she knew it there he was around the hall and throwing fireballs at her without even bothering to talk. She dodged two which hit the lockers behind her then she threw her arms vertically sending a blast of wind which knocked him against the double doors.
“What’s wrong? Can’t even take on a beginner like me?” Laura said walking slowly toward him.
The demon sat breathing heavy. He had spiky black hair and menacing gray eyes that stared into Laura’s with furiousness, “How did you…know I…was coming here?” he asked.
“I have my ways. Seers aren’t the only ones who can view what’s going to happen next.” She replied.
He didn’t have an answer to that, just a blast which sent Laura flying to the ground. He stood up and backed against the door, “We’ll finish this. But I’ve got a meeting to keep.”

Warr-har! Forgot to add this: Charon, your character's missing a personality. We don't like mindless robots in this thread; nuh-uh.

[Yami_Zidane]

Name: Yukiro Megumi
Age: 16
Gender: Male

Appearance: Yukiro is rather small for his age, reaching just about 5 foot 6 inches, because of his height he is also slim. He has dark brown hair that comes down just past his ears, which he parts in the middle so his crimson eyes can be seen. He wears a short sleeved black shirt that remains undone showing the stone coloured tee shirt underneath. He also likes to wear a pair of jeans that are obviously too baggy but he thinks they look fashionable, and finally a pair of plain black shoes.

Personality: His loud and "in your face" personality covers up his small height. He has a fair few sarcastic comments up his sleeve and he's not afraid to dish them out either, this tends to annoy most, but deep down he does want to be liked, I suppose you could say he's insecure. He will always be quick to apologise if he knows hes hurt anyone's feelings.

Pokémon:

Bulbasaur - His first pokemon given to him by the Professor Oak. He is rather carefree, he would be more likely to run around in some grass and make friend with the wild pokemon than battle them, though Yukiro is encouraging him too. He is very close to Yukiro and prefers to be by his side so during the day he stays outside his pokeball.

Shellder - This little one loves to play up for her trainer, always freezing parts of him and spraying him with water, this causes Bulbasaur to get angry as he cares for Yukiro a lot and tries to protect him but ends up getting frozen himself. She is a strong battler, when she can be bothered to take orders, but she tends to listen during battle the majority of the time.

Phanpy - The clumsiest pokemon Yukiro has encountered, when in battle he tends to miss his opponent. When not in battle he will just randomly run into things and start sobbing for affection. In a constant battle for Yukiro's affection with Bulbasaur so one could think that his clumsiness is intentional.

Nidorino - The serious one on the team, he has a "do what you want, I'm not bothered" kind of attitude, has a real thirst for battles and can tend to go over the top. He gets along with Shellder as he thinks the other two pokemon are too babyish for his liking.

History: Living with his mother and father Yukiro had a simple life living on Escapde, as a young child he would spend his days by the water, always wondering what the rest of the world was like.

Upon turning sixteen Yukiros mother suggested that he should become a pokemon trainer, excited by the idea he set off to the town known as New Bark to get his first pokemon from a visiting Profesor Oak, his older brother had gone off on a journey at his age, and was in constant contact via pidgey mail, and hearing of some of the adventures he had, Yukiro was determined to do the same and surpass his brother in training and strength.

Other: N/A

RP Sample: The falling leaves danced on a gentle gust the slept through the trees as they fell to the ground. Yukiro was walking through the forest without a care in the world, while his little partner Bulbasaur was running after the falling leaves with a look of glee on his face.

They decided to take a rest, just then a flash of white light emerged from Yukiro's belt and from it appeared a small purple shell like pokemon.

"Oh great... what do you want?" Yukiro asked with a heavy sigh as he stared down at the Shellder. The small pokemon sniggered to itself and let out a icy blue beam aimed towards the tree above them instantly freezing a few apples that grew there.

With the weight of the ice they fell with great speed and landed on Yukiros head.

"Right, that's it, come here you!" Yukiros voice boomed as he grabbed the small pokemon. "I think its time you cooled off," he continued.

Taking the Shellder to a nearby pond he flung it in "Stay there until you can behave," he added. The pokemon sniggered to itself and splashed around the pond merrily. "Wonder is she'll ever change," Yukiro said to his small Bulbasaur, but it began giggling. "Don't you even start." he said with a small smirk on his face.

NOTE: Just a quick question, will we be travelling together or seperatly?

EDIT: XD i didnt realise that my Shellder and Ryans are almost the same in personallity O.o, that was unintentional, hope you dont mind there simillar.

[Whitewash]

Ryan24, accepted.

Yami_Zidane, read the story. It says that it takes place in Johto, not Hoenn. So, Littleroot Town, let's say, doesn't really exist in this RP. You could make it Escapade, though, 'cos that's where all of the characters come from. XD Please mind your spelling and grammar, because I did spot a lot of grammar errors in your post. Fix those, however, and you're accepted.

To answer your question: At first, everybody should be traveling together. Later on, however, I guess there could be some plot twists that would separate the group or something... They don't have to stick together the whole time, but they might end up regrouping one way or another anyways.

We should begin soon...

[Yami_Zidane]

Hmm.. yeah New Bark was the one i was aiming for.. (Note to self stop playing Ruby)

Reading through my post again i could see there was quite a few spelling errors.. i think ive caught them all.. I'm not usually that bad.. but concidering its almost 4 in the morning.. heh. Tell me if theres anything else you want me to add.

[Volkner's Apprentice]

OOC: Wahoo! Let's start, shall we? This should be a good rp.

[Whitewash]

((Four in the morning? O_o Even I don't stay on that long. But, anyways, there are a few grammar errors concerning apostrophes and a few missing commas in the quotes. You're also missing a period but that's probably a dumb mistake.

And, that's right, double parentheses means that there's finally an IC post. :3 Patience, please...))

Beaming over the partly cloudy Johto sky was the sun, once thought to have been the result of a powerful attack from the legendary Celebi. Even though most knew better, it was still a pretty interesting thought, that all grass Pokémon gained their powers from a single, time-traveling creature. The sun beamed even on the usually misty town of Ecruteak, in which a certain traveling group of kids were walking.

Rory readjusted her sandy brown backpack onto her shoulders and stared out through the city. In the far west, she could just make out Route 38, which lead to Olivine City, Johto's port city. She remembered, it made regular trips to Vermilion City in Kanto. Huh... She'd have to go to Kanto someday. But not now. She still had to get her fifth badge! Pity that it had to be across the ocean! But they could all take a boat and it would be fine.

Amongst the crowd and the rest of the group, Rory really wondered about the people around her. They had been through some adventures together, but it was all the same a Trainer on his own would experience. Were they really worth trusting? There was the sometimes-friendly, sometimes-funny, and sometimes-picky Aaron, the starry-eyed Sam, good old Mike (or so she thought, she wasn't entirely sure if he was completely honest and such), the awfully cool Ryan, the annoying, boisterous Yukiro, and Vix. Of course, Rory herself knew that she was mistrusting. She could hardly bear to join a random group of children, much less stay with them for an entire year collecting Badges and participating in the League Tournament with them.

So far, nothing bad had really happened. Everyone had their fair share of wins and losses, and Rory was no different. She continued to walk in the general silence that seemed to be going on around them, and even with half their journey over she had the oddest feeling that just something was going to happen today. Maybe it was the quirkish nature of her Bayleef, or something like that, but deep down inside, she knew... And she wanted to be prepared. But how... How?

Aroche was beside her for comfort and for warning. The Bayleef was always available for Rory to talk to when she was feeling... lonely and insanely suspicious of the others. Aroche was so carefree, so happy and loving, so entirely cheerful to make Rory completely forget everything wrong in her whole entire life and throw caution to the wind. However, it wasn't always a good thing. For instance, there was that one time when Rory was playing with Aroche and she sorta dared herself to pick on the forever calm, forever cool Ryan and tick him off. She stopped herself, of course, and she did particularly feel like an idiot afterwards. She hadn't gotten close enough to actually pick on him in some way or another, so that was a good thing. If she had...

Just then, someone had to interrupt her thoughts.

((Go ahead, free-for-all.))

[Volkner's Apprentice]

((Heh yay we have Shellder buddies! They can hang and be annoying together lol. And it's only midnight now in NY))

Ryan walked happily beside the others his arms folded behind his neck. Ah..a fresh new day! Nothing better then another day's travel. Well that's what he'd like to tell himself. Most of the days in between cities on routes were filled with walking, talking, eating, sleeping, and if they were lucky, a good battle. It was pretty routine..guess that's why they called them routes. Ryan thought that over as they walked on to Cianwood City, where everyone would have a chance at a 5th gym battle. He took out a pokeball eyeing it mildly. Poliwhirl was inside, probably sleeping this time of day. He wouldn't bother it now. Instead he clipped it back on his vest, ran a hand through his hair and stopped at an apple tree.
"I'm kind of hungry..hey! Whose carrying the cooking set? We could make some apple turnovers. My mom taught me how to bake a little..it's a useful skill. And their delicious." he pulled on a branch to grab some apples even if they weren't going to stop.

"I'm sure Rory wants soooome!" he added pokingly at her, which seemed to have broken that morning daze she was in. All morning none of them seemed to have spoken much, having had many tough battles to get the gym badge away from the ghost lover leader of Ecruteak.

[Muse]

Sam hummed happily as she walked beside her friends, completely oblivious to the world around her. Still ecstatic from the victories in Ecruteak City, the hardest gym yet, she was too excited to care what happened. Nothing could bring her down! Sure, she would occasionally trip over a rock in the road, but that didn't matter. Nope, not one bit! At least the rocks she encountered were probably loose enough now that it would be difficult for anyone else to trip over them.

One thing did distract her from her thoughts, however. As Ryan reached into the apple tree a leaf fell, brushing under her nose. She sneezed, snapping back into reality more harshly than she would've prefered.

"Apple turnovers?" she asked, not entirely sure if she heard right in her daze. She had heard of them before, but had never tried them, so it was a chance to try something new! "That sounds good!" She stopped by the apple tree, carefully plucking an apple from its branches. Even if they didn't stop to let Ryan cook, an apple would be a nice thing to have for breakfast. She hoped everyone stopped though. It was so long since they just sat down and relaxed over a good hot meal.

"So can we? Please?"

[charizard_maa]

Mike was following the others not to far behind. He thougth that he had seen a pokemon that he wanted to catch but it only turned out to be a raticate. Mike wasn't much intrested ih catching pokemon like raticate but it gave him and Char some battle experence. Mike was abit satifiled but Char was even more happier because she was able to make Mike happy. HIs charmeleon was walking right beside him. "ONe battle closer to making you evole. Not a complete waste of a battle." he told her.

Char just nodded and kept close to him.

Mike really liked his charmeleon a lot. It always willing to try its hardest in battle for him and that all he can ask for. Char and the rest of his pokemon really showed what that could do at the last gym against the gym leader Morty. He had to powerhouse his way to victory with Char but it was worth it in the end when he recieve his 4th badge.

"If we can beat Chuck then we be off for a great win later. We just need a flying move so we be working on that Ariel Ace along the way. Is that ok? asked Mike with a smile to Char.

Char nodded and was pumping up for the future battle. Mike then smile and said, "Still we have to ahve a back up so Gira will be getting some training too. His Pysbeam will be useful."

Mike and Char then ran up to catch up with the rest of the group. He then heard Ryan say something about cooking apple turnovers. He shugged and said, "Yeah. I guess we can have some. Let stop for I can unpack my cooking junk." Mike was almost always prepare for anything which explains why he has a frying pan with him in his bag. He was getting a little hungry too and he knew Char was too sense she been out with them.

[Yami_Zidane]

Coming to a halt at the rest of the group Yukiro let out a brief sigh, he looked up at the tree and shook his head. Not being the biggest fan of apples he was'nt all that excited about stopping and waiting for the rest to eat.

"Guys do we really have to stop now, were already making great time, why not keep going?" he asked. The small green pokemon that was tailing him began nudging his leg with his forehead. It looked like he was rather keen on stopping for food. "Oh well, it was worth a try," he told himself.

He sat down and leant against the nearest tree, the warmth of the blistering sun was getting to him, he took off his black shirt and tucked part of it into his jeans, the small Bulbasaur ran over and positioned itself onto of its trainers lap.

[Beta Trainer]

Aaron surged with overwhelming joy and excitment, following closely behind the rest of the group, ignoring the Rattata that jumped around his heels, and the Magnemite that floated roboticly over heads. Someone was on a sugar rush, huh? Beaming in pride [he was most surely in one of his good moods], he drew his head backwards, and breathed in the fresh air, eyeing the rest of the group, who seemed to be in as good a mood. Ghosts had always frightened him out, but facing on in a head-on battle [and winning!] was something he could go on about. But, of course, he wouldn't bost. He kicked up some gravel with his right foot, and, with a quick swish and three blasts of bright light, Flare [who had beaten Mortys' ghost's by good strategy], Lily and Logan. Logan buzzed excitedly over everyone's heads, swooping around shoulders and causing havoc. Aaron sighed, and decided he wouldn't call back Logan. Yet, at least. Lily rolled her eyes and Flare erupted into Pokémonish laughter.

"Logan! Come on, buddy, what'd I tell you?" he called out. The large Bee/Wasp creature reluctantly obeyed, bowing his head in dissapointment, before positioning himself on Aarons shoulder. Digging his left hand into his backpack, Aaron brought out an energy bar from the front pocket, the wrapper gripped firmly in his palm. Everyone was being social and in conversation, and Aaron guessed he might as well too. But, later, he had to congratulate Flare.

"Great job, bud. Nice Ember against that Gastly. I was a little scared, but, you really sold it. You'll do well against Jasmine, too. Just keep up with that Fire Spin, you'll pull it off." Flare nodded with a grin, and sprinted off to play with the others. Lily barked playfully [Aaron sighed in relief, she had been a little uptight the past few days] and bounded over with Flare. Logan proceeded to poke Aaron's head softly with his stingers. Bugsy must've had a rough time with him. He changed automatically with Aaron, and had learned a good use of attacks, his Aerial Ace [which wasn't the strongest right now] and his Fury Attack being the best right now. It had been Logan that had knocked out Whitneys Clefairy.

Breaking from his thoughts, Aaron made his way over to the guy with the other Charmeleon, who wasn't too shabby with his battling technique, in fact, he was pretty good. He would be interesting to battle some day, Flare to his Charmeleon, a fight between the two Fire's. But, it would have to wait. Logan was getting pokey again, and Aaron brushed him off a little with one hand. Logan stopped immediately. Aaron smiled at the Mikey [at least, that was what Aaron thought it was]. No, Michael. Wait, Mike!

"Hey. Nice win back in Ecruteak. Cool moves. Oh," Aaron quickly pointed to Logan, Flare and Lily, "these are my 'followers'. Hehe. A little unruly, but great all the same. I'm Aaron, by the way," he greeted.

[Muse]

((Uhhh, Beta...? Don't all of the trainers already know each other? o_0? And we'd better let Charon post sometime ^^'))

"Don't worry, the gym will still be there when we leave." Sam smiled at Yukiro, sitting down and taking the minimized Pokeballs from a satchel at her side. Each one had a symbol on the top representing the Pokemon contained within so she wouldn't get confused as to which one she was sending out (Which was quite often before she found the sticker set to stick on the Pokeballs). Casually, she tapped the button to enlarge the containers and tossed them a short distance away from the group, releasing her trio of Pokemon companions.

As usual, Speed began doing flips in the air the second he materialized, just out of sheer happiness for his sudden freedom, but was careful not to cause a whirlwind or sonic boom of any sort. They had learned their lesson well back in the Violet City Gym about the evils of strong gusts of wind. Koryl looked up at the exciteable bug Pokemon, shook her head -- which resulted in her entire body spinning somewhat -- and walked over to Sam's side. Strawberry, the least active of the three, simply stood where she landed, probably unaware that she was even outside. "You three should get some breakfast and fresh air while we can, right?" she mentioned, patting Koryl on the head and watching Aaron walk over to Mike. That was good. Halfway through their Pokemon journey, it was about time that everyone got a little more aquainted.

[charizard_maa]

Mike looked at Aaron as he unpacked his little cooking set which was jsut a grill, a pot holder and a fry pan. Mike and CHar looked up and MIke said, "Yeah. I guess we did pretty good back there. Char really helped but I glad I was able to get Gira to go in and stall abit." He then smile and said, "ALso it is Mike. I guess we been traveling so much and fast that we never really hae a chance to get to know each other." Mike was telling the truth. Even thought they are half way done, he still doesn't know much aobut his friends that he been traveling with.

He hten reach for his own pokeballs to release his pokemon, Tenta the tentacool, Gira the Girafarig and Heracross. He then said, "Now this is my little gang of pokemon." He showed off some of this pokemon.

Mike then looked at Sam and said, "Want anything speacal to eat? Unknowing to him, Tenta was making her way up Sam's back.

[Volkner's Apprentice]

Ryan helped set up the cooking equipment and took out packaged dough that they bought in Ecruteak. He folded a few squares with cut up apples and sauce and put them on the rack.

Soon enough a bunch of tasty, golden-brown treats were on a plate for the trainers and their pokemon alike. Ryan let Poliwhirl have one, though he had no idea how Poliwhirl really ate things considering..it doesn't have a mouth..but he let Doduo and Mantine have one too but not Shellder because it was still misbehaving.

"So how do you like them? They're not too bad..could be a little crispier...Anyway, how long do you think it'll be until we get to Cianwood?" he asked the circle since he couldn't remember who had the map.

[Whitewash]

((Yes, don't add to much to the plot yet. We're still waiting for Charon! And her character's personality, too...))

Rory looked up at the sky. It was now rather cloudy, and the air around them was a bit moist. Odd... Was there going to be a storm? "I'm guessing the sea will be a bit rough today. We might not get there until the clouds stop being so... gray," said Rory, unsure. "By the way, thanks for the turnovers, Ryan. Saves me from cooking..." But he was right. They were a bit soft; could've had a bit more of a crunch.

The girl looked around at the released Pokémon. Well, she had a lot of Pokémon compared to the rest of her group, but they didn't really eat much anyway. But she let them out, despite that. Out came Frost, Slice, Burnumup and Static, while Aroche was already happily gnawing away at a turnover. Burnumup devoured his in one bite, while Slice and Static were nibbling on theirs. Frost ate nearly as fast as the Slugma, but fell short since it literally burned in Burnum's mouth.

Rory turned to Vix, who hadn't spoken much yet. Wonder why she was being so quiet...

[charizard_maa]

OOC: HOw about we keep on going without Charon? You know in order to keep this RP from dieing.

IC: Tenta was crawling up Sam's back trying to get up to her head. MIke wasn't really paying attention to her because he was eating one of the apple turnovers. They were a bit hot but good.

Char then ran over to Mike trying to eat some of his. MIke took off a piece of his own and gave some to Char. She then jumped up and said, "Yeah. Good?" said Mike.

Char jumped in approval. Mike then went over to get one for his charmeleon and handed it to her. "Here. One for your own."

Mike went looking around for the rest of his pokemon. His pokemon aren't like Char that like to stay close to him. Gira was sleeping under a near by tree while Heracross was up in a tree slaping some sap. "Where is Tenta?" asked MIke.

[Volkner's Apprentice]

Ryan cleaned up the things and packed up the cooking supplies. "Uh..is there a reason theres a jellyfish on your head Sam?" Ryan said blinking. He returned all his pokemon except Poliwhirl who liked walking on the road and seeing where it took them. Ryan pondered through a map of the region on his pokenav.

"Let's see..we should hit Olivine by tommorrow..there's a pokemon center along the way
and a farm. Then we catch a boat over to Cianwood. Or we could Surf but it's been awhile since we've tried that." Poliwhirl gulped. Ryan thought back to a large river they all tried to cross with the water pokemon they had. The currents were too quick for Strawberry and the Shellders and half of their group was washed downstream. That was something they wouldn't forget, it was a wet experience...

[Dementia]

Name: Shiima
Age: 16
Gender: Male

Appearance: black hair about medium length, green eyes, about 5’11. Wears a lot of grunge looking clothes or leather. Silver choker chain around neck.

Personality: Growing up behind closed doors Shiima seemed like a docile kid, but little did his parents know Shiima was really the opposite of them. Every night he’d sneak out and go to parties. One of the butlers was aware of this and on more than one occasion would help Shiima sneak out or back in if his parents were awake. And while his parents loved Fancy Food and Classical Music, Shiima loved fast food and Heavy Metal. Shiima can be kind of rude and arrogant at times, but generally speaking is a nice guy.



- Sisko the Meowth (Male)
While Shiima was growing up he was home schooled and so he didn’t get much of an opportunity to socialize with much of anyone (until years later when he’d sneak out), but his parents bought him this Meowth to keep him company. Sisko is a quirky one and is extremely loyal to Shiima. Sisko loves playing practical jokes.

- Wisp the Squirtle (Male)
Wisp was the starter pokemon that was given to him when he started his journey and Wisp loves to party as much as Shiima does.

- Sixx the Ekans (Male)
Sixx gets kicks mostly out of scaring those around him usually by coiling around them in their sleep to give them a rude awakening when they wake up and see him. Sixx was the first pokemon ever actually caught.

- Matilda the Tauros (Female)
Matilda is the only entirely extremely serious pokemon of Shiima and also happens to be the only female pokemon of Shiima’s. She gets fed up sometimes with the antics of the other pokemon and is extremely overprotective of Shiima.

History: Shiima was the son of a rich family growing up. His parents home schooled him and because of this Shiima didn’t know a lot of people growing up, until he started sneaking out. By day he was seen as a child prodigy by his parents who kept him studying and practicing piano all day. But by night he was known for his partying. His parents one day though thought he should go start his pokemon journey as they thought it’d be the structure he needed to rid himself of the partying lifestyle.

Other: Shiima rarely tells anybody about his past, but is still rarely at a loss for cash. When nobodies around he’ll keep in contact with his parents and get them to send him money or just to let them know how his journey’s going.

RP Sample:

The scene starts at roughly Two O’Clock in the morning. It seems like a peaceful enough town…minus one house where Heavy Metal is blaring almost making the house shake. Inside there’s pokemon and people jumping around, dancing, having a good time. Most notable are Shiima and Wisp. Meowth is running around drawing on the faces of everybody whose already passed out and Sixx has coiled around somebody waiting for morning to get some laughs. As the hours pass Shiima starts to talk to Wisp.

Shiima: Hey, we got a lot of training to do so I think we should call it a night.

Wisp (shaking its head): Squirt, Squirtle, squir!

Shiima: Fine, suit yourself man but I’m going to get some sleep.

The next day soon comes and we see tons of people and pokemon passed out all through out the house. The floors are littered with bottles and pizza boxes. And we soon hear a scream from the person who woke up and found Sixx coiled around them staring at him. Eventually we Shiima passed out in a bed and he seems to be dreaming about a battle and is giving the orders in his sleep.

Shiima: Alright, go Sisko!

Sisko’s ear fidgets and one eye opens as he hops onto Shiima’s chest and tilts his head.

Shiima: Sisko, use scratch attack!

Sisko looks around confused and then makes a “why not” gesture before using scratch attack on the face of Shiima who wakes up yelling in pain. He eventually gets up though half asleep and goes to walk down the steps, but trips over a passed out party-goer and goes tumbling down the steps. He sees his Sixx and calls it into its pokeball. However it takes him a while longer to find Wisp whose passed out in the living room with a lampshade on his head. Shiima just smirks and calls him back into his Pokeball as the Meowth jumps on his shoulder and the two head out on another day of their pokemon journey.

[Dementia]

OOC for some reason my post isn't showing up as the last post in the thread, but just posting this to tell everyone that theres another post.

[charizard_maa]

Mike looked around at the metion of a tentacool being on Sam's head. THere he saw Tenta hanging on to her head and was sucking on Sam's head. He then said, "There you are. I was looking for you."

He then took Tenta of her head and said, "YOu don't go there. You should be at least away from most people." Tenta just stayed there.

"I think she likes you Sam." said MIke while trying to get Tenta off.

Char then tried to help Mike get Tenta off Sam's head.

[Muse]

((Sorry guys! I was sort of...banished form the computer for a few days...oo' This one will be a bit of a short post, I'm afraid. I've got to get back into the RP! And 'cause I'm not 100% sure of what's going on...))

Sam was, of course, a little spacey when throughout all of this, happily and slowly munching on an apple turnover. Even when there was a tentacool sneaking up onto her head -- a sneaky little one, it was, she didn't really notice. But when Mike came over to remove Tenta, she snapped out of it and happened to glance upwards. She shuddered and squeaked. It felt like a giant spider or something crawling on her head! She shook her head wildly, giving the poor squid-like Pokemon the ride of his life.

"Get it off!" she exclaimed, feeling the tentacool's grip loosening. Or at least, she hoped it was. She didn't want to walk around with a Pokemon on her head forever!

[charizard_maa]

MIke was about to get Tenta off Sam's head but she began to move wildly which made it hard to get the tentacool off her head. She wouldn't clam down and Tenta was flying around trying to hold on to the head. Mike then said, "Let loose abit and relax Sam." Char was trying to grab Tenta from Sam's head but wasn't doing a good job of it.

Tenta then loosen up but won't let go. Mike then finally grabbed the tentacool and pulled her off Sam's head. He saw some hair on one of the tentacles but he just took the hair off. He then said to her, "Sorry. I sure she didn't meant to do that on you. I guess she really likes you or something." He then place Tenta on the ground and Char took hold of her to make sure she doesn't run off.

[Whitewash]

OOC: I don't have enough time to post, but I did read the other posts, and just to say: Dementia, your RP sample isn't... erm... right. It's not supposed to be in a script format. Read the other RP samples. They'll show you the right way to do them.

[Dementia]

I really don't see the big deal, but meh the hell with this.
