Pokemon: The Magical Guardians

[EmeraldSky]

Please read carefully!

Most people in the world don't realize it, but there is another world connected to our own: Unlike our world, this world is an untamed land, filled with rolling hills, lush forests, high mountain peaks, and rushing rivers.

But even more impressive than this realm's flora is its fauna: many creatures that are thought to be fantasy in the human world, such as griffons, phoenixes, unicorns, and fairies; coexist along with equally special Pokemon. It is from the Pokemon of this realm comes its most amazing phenomenon of all: magic. In fact, such phenomenon such as lightning, rainbows, and snow are caused by magic entering the human world, even though the human world doesn't realize this.

For a very long time, the Magical Realm had no guardian at all and the creatures could do as they pleased. Before long, the Pokemon of this realm began to quarrel with each other, which led to fierce fighting. The humans call the resulting war the "Red and Green War"; which was eventually ended by a human known in the realm as the Wave Guider, and his companion, Rukario. The Wave Guider's peacemaking efforts among the creatures of the land brought into balance the warring factions of magic in the world, and the Magical Realm was at peace. Rukario ruled over the realm, while the Wave Guider assisted him.

Years passed, and being a mortal, the Wave Guider grew old. But before he passed on, he asked Rukario to hide his magical scepter, which granted him his magical power, in the human world, in hopes that whoever touched it would become Guardians of the four magics and rule the Magical Realm alongside Rukario. Rukario complied with his master's final request, and sent the scepter to a mountainous area in Houen, nearby a town called Rota, who deeply believed in the magical realm, and was one of many points in which humans and magical beings could cross back and forth between worlds. It was believed that the first person to touch the scepter would be given Black Magic, the Wave Guider's strongest magical skill. The next three people to touch it would then be able to choose which magic they wanted to control, and these four, after proving themselves; would join Rukario in the Magical Realm.

Time passed, and one by one portals between the human and magical worlds began to fade away, but the one nearby Rota Town remained, albeit inactive. Yet the people clung to the hope that four Guardians of magic would come and be chosen.

Ash and his friends came to Rota Town for what they thought would just be a place to rest on their journey, but Ash discovered the scepter and gained the ability to use Black Magic, just as the prophecy foretold. Two of his companions, May and Brock, accepted Time and Summon magic, respectively...but there was no one to accept White magic...Max, the smallest of Ash's companions, appeared to resist the magical power, and so it was sent to Kanto, where another of Ash's companions, Misty, accepted it.

With Rukario's help, Ash, May, and Brock used their newfound power to save the town from being destroyed at the hands of the Regi Trio. The Regis were banished to a part of the magical realm where all the evil and darkness dwelled: The Shadow Realm.

Having proven themselves worthy of becoming guardians, Ash, Misty, May, and Brock were sent through the portal at Rota Town and into the Magical Realm. Once there, the four learned of the balance of magic, and the many ways in which it could be upset, but the most dangerous kind of upset would be a creature escaping the shadow realm. If any creature disrupts the balance in that way, not only is the Magical Realm affected, but the human world is affected as well: The weather goes haywire, machinery malfunctions, even monsters that are normally confined to the Magical Realm appear in the human world! The consequences for the Magical Realm are much worse: Pokemon turn wild, monsters appear, and the realm generally begins to die. The four new Guardians promised Rukario that they would prevent the balance from being upset in any way they could, and successfully did so for a long time.

Despite all their best efforts, a Dark Dragonite has risen up from the realm of shadow, and is threatening to destroy the balance of magic in the world. The four Guardians tried to fight against it, and bring back the balance, but even their power was no match for the dark power the Dragonite had.

Knowing that he doesn't have very much time, Rukario decides to come to the human world in search of humans to train in the magical arts, so they can help him, Ash, Misty, May, and Brock defend the magical realm

Scottura Wyvern
Age: 16
Physcial appearance: Around 6'5, with a bit of a toned body. His skin is slightly tanned from all the time he spends traveling. His eyes are a light golden brownish-red and his hair is dark black. His hair is a bit spiky at the top, but really messy. Around his neck is a gunmetal silver necklace or pendant in the shape of a crown. He has a scar coming from his right shoulder blade to his left rib on his back. His clothes are dark gray cargo-pants, black long-sleeve shirt with a dragon inprint on the back, dark brown traveling cloak, and black and red sneakers. On his hands are some black fingerless gloves.

Personality: He is the quite type, though he talks rarely to people he has met. The only person he ever really spoke to was his two sisters. He doesn't question people about their lives and their history; as long as people don't question him. He is very adept at reading books on anything, so he knows alot about pokemon and other stuff like their behavours. He has no real relationship with anyone except his pokemon. He speaks his mind, but considering he is a quite person, it's a bit hard to notice him. When he does make friends with people, they can find he is very trustworthy, yet he does seem to infuriate them alot. If he's angry, most people find that when they're around him that they sense a dark aura coming from him.

Pokemon: Pikachu and Charizard
Magic type: Black Magic

Personality: Silver passes off as a depressed teenager in public, and can sometimes be this way. Most of the time he is a laid-back person who likes looking up at the clouds.

Hmm... I'll try joining this...

Name: Jazer Reyes
Age: 16
Physical appearance: Jazer's eyes sparkle a sapphire blue color while his silver white hair would match the moon. He also wears a silver locket around his neck with the picture of his sister and only sibling. Due to a few casualties his body has a few cuts and bruises. He wears white gloves with black fingers to hide his bruised and cut knuckles. He wears a sleeveless white shirt and black pants. As an extra he also wears a white scarf with black dragon designs around his neck. His silver hair all goes down and he at times wears glasses just to read things from far away. He's near sighted, but that doesn't mean he can't see trouble far.

Personality: He is a quiet and rather insensitive loner. He'd rather stay way from people than socialize with them. He also doesn't like anyone to get included with his problems and he doesn't like to include himself either in other people's problems. He has a saying in his mind that he would often say to others or to himself. "I'll stay out of your life if you stay out of mine." He would often go mercelessly against others, but if they had no defense in the beginning he would leave them alone. He dislikes to be ordered around and would prefer to do things his way. If you criticize him about a mistake he knows or has done, he would get into a silent rage and turn his back on you. He's not a person you can easily convince or trust. He doesn't like to relax or flirt with anyone. His emotions of happiness, jealousy and love have been covered by emotions of anger, sorrow and vengance.

He is ussually like this because of his missing older sister, the only person he was able to depend on. He has great confidence in what he does but always overestimates enemies and allies so he doesn't take anyone too lightly he takes everything and everybody a bit too seriously. He absolutely hates the weak minded and weak hearted. He believes in both powers of good and bad but despises both sides. Overall he is a worthy, menacing and deadly advesary and an untrustible, negative and frustrating ally.

Pokemon: Aerodactyl and Misdreavus

Magic type: Time Magic

[Deathspector]

Name: Razaan Shyndow

Age: 14

Physical Appearance: Razaan Shyndow is the essence of unhappiness and spite. His entire physical body, and attire lean towards someone, who you would not like to get into a conversation with. His hair, is long, and black, covering his eyes. He, however, has got accustomed to seeing between the tendrils of hair, and does not need to tuck his hair behind his ears. His eyes, are also black, so dark, that they can hypnotise even the most wary of people. His skin is dark in colour, and sticks to his bone, as he lacks any fat at all. His fingernails, are grown slightly longer than any normal person would, giving the impression of some black cat on hind-quarters. He wears nothing but the purest black. His top, is a long-sleeved garment, that covers his hand, and reaches down to half-way down his tighs. His pants are just a plain black pair of two-legged trousers. He also wears a jet-black travellers cloak, that seems never to get dirty by dust. The cloak posseses a hood, which her wears all the time, and only takes off indoors.

Personality: Razaan never has had, does not have, and never will have a friend. He is just the type, who enjoys doing things alone. If he ever becoms close to a person, it is just to manipulate them in ways too horrible to speak of. People hav claimed to be the only person to whom he confides to, but they are decieved. Razaan has never craved for a friend, as he says that friends are a mark of cowardice, a blatant way to show off about how stupid one is. To have a friend, means that you are the first one, to hide behind another's back, in the face of terror. To be without a friend, you shall stand strong, and never falter. Razaan finds enjoyment in watching other people endure emotions that he will never have to endure. For example, the loss of one's family, or one's dearest. The loss of oe's best friend, and worst of all, the sinking senation of betrayal. Having never interactd with people for more time than to give them a snide remark, Razaan will never need to feel these things.

Pokémon: Razaan's one, and only companion, is his ever faithful Absol. His Absol has fur, as white and sleek as ever, so silky smooth and shiny that one would think it is liquid. His furless parts are so dark, that not even the brightest of light can reveal the inner most particles. His eyes are a blood-red, and flash dangerous when his master is insulted, or talked ill about. Absol, like his master does not enjoy the company of others, and will only agree to battle those who he feels are worthy opponents, and adversaries.

Magic Type: Black Magic

[EmeraldSky]

All right, both of you are Accepted!

We'll set out shortly, okay?

[Light_Azumarill]

Is it still okay to sign-up? This RP needs more girls in it! ^^

Name: Britta McMartin

Age: 15

Physcial appearance: Britta's tall and skinny, and her build is thin. Her skin is quite pale and at first glance she appears to look quite sickly. She has long, blonde hair that hangs down to her waist, and her bangs are usually held back from her face by lavender clips. She has light blue eyes. She wears a dark purple skirt and for her top she wears a white shirt with a lavender overcoat. She owns a small backpack that is a dark purple as well. She also sports a silver necklace that has an opal pendant hanging from it.

Personality: Her most treasured quality is kindness, something she thinks this world needs more of. When talking to Britta, she acts demure and serene, a quality she was taught from her mother. When she laughs for politely, it's quiet and almost forced sounding; but when she laughs for real, it sounds loud and happy. She doesn't really like fighting, and she even discourages her pokemon from getting caught up in fighting, but she will do it if she has to. She has a strong desire to help preserve life.

Pokemon: Britta has two pokemon that she has owned for quite some time. One was a gift from her mother, a Hoothoot with a particularly adventerous nature. It often gets her into trouble, and so Britta must keep a close eye on her. She also owns a rather nervous and knowledgable Paras whose mushrooms can be used to revive people in tight spots.

Magic type: White Magic

Here we go!

That being said, here we go!

The moon's soft silver glow shone down on the lights of Celadon City, illuminating the hustle and bustle of the city nightlife. But outside of the city, where people lived, all was dark and quiet as the denizens of the various houses slept peacefully

Suddenly, a glowing warp hole appeared in the sky, allowing a black, blue, and tan wolf-like creature to appear from it. Once the creature had materialized, the warp hole disappeared as mysteriously as it had appeared.

The wolf-creature glanced around at the orderly array of houses before it. So this is the human world...funny how future mages like to confine themselves to these boxes... it mused as it hovered along, peeking in windows for any sign of human activity.

Suddenly, some barking caught the wolf Pokemon's attention: a Growlithe in one house's yard had spotted him!

"Destruction of nature, gather in flame! Heat!" the wolf Pokemon called, blasting a small fireball at the tiny dog Pokemon. The Growlithe yelped and slunk back into its house, afraid...

[Garouga! Bare Your Fangs!]

OOC: Aw man, I was gonna start in Celadon...It's become a habit of mine.


IC: A few blocks from the wolf creature lay a Mightyena and Houndoom, in the yard of their owner. Both looked bored out of their minds; the night held no excitement if the gate was closed. Houndoom stretched his paws out in front of him, then stood up and sniffed the air.

<A fire technique was just used. I smell the 'afterburn', as I like to call it.> Alarmed, Mightyena raised his head and sniffed the air. Sure enough, the wind carried the faint scent of smoke.

<Are you suggesting that a Pokemon lit a house on fire?> Houndoom shook his head and looked up at the moon, as if asking for it's advice. Mightyena stood and looked into the breeze, using his sixth 'danger' sense. Either the newcomer was too far, or it was no danger at all.

<Can you-->

<No, but we must be careful anyway.>

if i'm still allowed?

Name: nick emeral.

Age: 15

Physcial appearance:

he's a tall boy about 2 meters in height, he has black hair with a pinch off the darkest brown here and there. he has two vertical scars on his right cheek. his eyes are dark brown with a light glitter in the right light. but he never saw the right light. so don't bother.
he has a gold/silver necklace with a emerald crafted inside. the necklace's fuction is a pendant with a picture of his past away mother inside of it. he has a blue/black t-shirt with a swampert logo in the left corner. over that he wares a matrix-ish coat but only blue with black string stiches on some places. he wears jogging jeans, grey ones with nothing special about it. he has a pair of worn-out reebok shoe's made out of black leather.
he doesn't carry a pokéball belt instead of that he has his pokeball's inside a backpack.
a green one.

Personality:

normaly he would say; 'you decide, friend or foe'
but you wanted a detailed discription soo here goes. he has no real freinds exept for his pokemon. but he has no enemy's aswell. the things you must do for being his actual friend are very simple; fight through life with god faith. he sometimes thinks he's funny, but more of the times he isen't. don't upset him cause he will get very serious and as cold as ice. the more you tease him the more he will take his revenge in future event's. the real personality is that's he kind, speechless to strangers and always in for a good battle.

Pokemon:

Nick had a mudkip he got when he was only three years old, that's why this swampert named wetground is strongly alike nick if your talking about personality. his swampert is equipted with a blue scarf bought in a water pokemon care center somewhere in a distant city. he didn't decide about his second pokemon. because he's working on a project; the NPA. that stands for New Pokemon Alpha. in other words he's working on a few sample of newly found pokemon created by him.
(the actual usage of my fake-pokemon will only happen with your permission of course)

Magic type: black magic, he preferes water and ice.

[EmeraldSky]

You are Accepted!...but you are only allowed to use the known Pokemon (i.e. all existing 386 plus Bonsly, Munchlax, Manene, Manyula, Tamanta, Perap, and Buoysel)

[Xiaphear]

okay, so i'll begin with rp-ing myself.

Nick just entered celedon city for the first time, he had never been outside of his own town.He was rarely seen on the street's but now he retired his work and is searching for adventure.

The smell of smoke was still in the air. Nick sensed it right away.

'wetground?,maybe thre's a fire out there.....i have minor skills but you could some extinguising right' nick asked. Wetground was pointing his nose in the air picking up the smell and tring to trae the location.

[i can't smell the exact position, but i can smell a other smell.....a smell like an animal] Wetground thought.

the winds carried the smell away as Nick's swampert was stopped following the smell of the smoke.

(i don't know how to typ things as 'thinking' so i just used something.)

[Garouga! Bare Your Fangs!]

OOC: Thinking can be done one of two ways. If it is a character's private thought, then like this. If it is thought communication with a Pokemon, then <like this.>


A new scent combined with the smoke. Houndoom recognized a human and...something wet. A water-type. It smelled like a Mudkip, but much bigger.

<I smell...a Marshtomp?> Houndoom took a minute to try to think of where he had smelled that before. Mightyena, too, tried this, but came up with nothing. A few minutes later, he remembered the smell and forgot the fire.

<SWAMPERTS!!!> Houndoom tilted his head to the side, and tried to restrain his urge to laugh. Mightyena was skipping around him, taunting that he knew something important.

<Shut it, dog brain. I get it.> Mightyena stopped in mid-air, and fell right to his paws. Head down, he walked back to his original position and sat down. Houndoom sighed and sat next to him, nudging him with his head as a sign of respect.

[Deathspector]

OOC: Well, I was wondering two things. First off, Emerald Sky, I can't see a sign-up of yours. Of course, if you are Role Playing the current Mages people thingies like Ash, Brock, and so forth, forget this. And second thing, how come you lot have started Role Playing as the Pokémon? Just a question, not an accusation. Also, could I change my magic into Summoning magic? Once you give me the thumbs up, I'll change it.

IC:

The gentle wind carressed Razaan, as he stood at the top of the knoll, observing the surroundings. He stared out from his black eyes at the dark city below him, contemplating the best route to take to get to the other side without being in the middle of the town. His eyes scanned the city, picking out the most heavily lighted places, and discarding them. Finally, finding a route he was satisfied with, Razaan made his way down the hill, aproaching Celadon City from the west. It didn't take him long to reach the entrance to the city.

Bypassing the guards, he wandered alone, in the streets, looking for the route he had picked out.

It was then, that he saw it...

[EmeraldSky]

(First of all, the RP's creator doesn't have to have a signup, And second of all, it's fine if you want to change your magic type.)

[Garouga! Bare Your Fangs!]

OOC: I am RPing as the Pokemon because it is night in Celadon. Silver is sleeping. That's what people DO at nights...But, if you would like someone else to RP as human, then I shall attempt it.


IC: Mightyena ran to the side of the house and stopped underneath a window. Standing on his back legs, he peered into Silver's bedroom only to find the trainer sleeping on the floor next to his bed, a bad habit of his. The dog Pokemon have a growling sigh, then nudged a toy Pokeball Silver kept on his window with his nose. It hit the floor with a soft thud, not nearly loud enough to wake anything. Mightyena returned to the ground and trotted back to Houndoom.

<I tried to wake him. I pushed the Pokeball off the window, but the noise didn't do anything. I guess the floor is sound-proof or something.> Houndoom hit Mightyena round the back of the head with his paw, causing the pure Dark type to lean forward. Houndoom ducked down to Mightyena's ear and growled.

<Maybe the Pokeball might have rolled and HIT him? Did you watch long enough to see that?> Houndoom pushed his friend's head down with a paw and darted for the window. It was still open, and the Pokeball was not there. Houndoom looked inside and saw Silver in his bed, with the Pokeball on his nightstand near him.

<Get up! We have a crisis!> Nothing happened. Silver continued to snore peacefully, and rolled off the bed again. Houndoom sighed and barked, <B 14!>

"BINGO!" Silver's eyes snapped open and he stood, fist pumped in the air. A few seconds later, he noticed that only Houndoom was there. The half-asleep trainer waved, then walked over to the window.

<We've got a problem. There is the scent of fire a few blocks away, and a Swampert nearby.> Silver yawned and stretched, knocking over some random junk on his bookshelf.

"Well, why didn't the Swampert put it out?"

<My thoughts exactly. No Swampert can breathe fire, and it should have put it out by now. Unless it's working with a Fire type--WAKE UP!> As Houndoom was talking, Silver had begun to drift downward, using the bookcase edge as a pillow. After being yelled at, he stood at attention.

"So what can I do?" Houndoom climbed down and backed away from the window.

<I'm going to find out, and I'm taking you with me.>

"Can I change first? I'm still wearing my PJs."

<Go ahead, but hurry. Oh, and nice lawn gnomes, by the way.> Silver gave a sarcastic laugh, then disappeared from the window for a few minutes. When he came back, he wore gray sweatpants and his favorite sweatshirt. He cued Houndoom to ready Mightyena silently, then climbed out of the window.

[Light_Azumarill]

OOC: My apologies about getting started so slowly. I like to take time and care with my beginning posts, and I had little time to do much during finals week. Luckily the school year for me is done and over with! So here I am. ^^


Britta
---------------

<Eep! Oooh! Oh my...!> grunted a rather weak and neurotic-sounding voice. It came from a pitch-black alley, the small street's contents carefully hidden from view by the blanket of night that had fallen on it.

A second voice came forth, it was shrill and frustrated, <Shhh! Will you be quiet?! Do you want her to find us or what?!> There was a small bit of excitement in the voice that showed through the anger, as if the two were scheming.

<B-b-but there's a-a-a damp object near one of my feet and I c-can't see w-w-what it is!> he breathed, scuttling sounds now being heard coming from the blackness.

<There she is!> the other voice called out in the loudest whisper she dare do, <We jump... NOW!>

<What? N-now?!> the neurotic voice said nervously, but it was too late, and his companion had already dashed out of the alley, her brown feathers being bathed in a yellow-lighted street lamp.

The Hoothoot had leapt out in front of a young girl walking down the street. Her light blue eyes were full of worry and her face looked anxious. Her head had whipped around as quick as it could when the pokemon had jumped out in front of her, the long, blonde hair flipping with her head's turn.

"Ah!" she squeaked, startled about the suddenly appearance of the flying pokemon, "Aera you scared me dearie!" She smiled politely, realizing that there was no threat to her.

Aera chuckled and hooted playfully, <Your face was too funny Britta!>

Britta smoothed out her dark purple skirt, and continued smiling politely, "Yes, well, Peter? Peter are you here? You can come out now."

A small, orange, bug pokemon came scuttling out of the dark alley, looking frightened and confused. <I... I c-can't breathe!> the Paras heaved, his eyes wide. and bulging.

"Please Peter, you must calm down," Britta said kindly, kneeling down to stroke the pokemon's head in an attempt to calm him.

<Yeah Pete, it was just a bit o' fun! You're such a party pooper!> Aera hooted stiffly, flapping over to him.

Britta suddenly looked up, frowning. She smelled smoke in the air. She ignored Peter for a moment and stood up, looking around worriedly. "Do you smell anything?" she asked her two pokemon, though she doubted that either of them could smell much; they weren't exactly scent pokemon.

<Ooh! Somethin' goin' on?! I'll fly up and look!> Aera said happily, flying up into the night's sky.

"Aera wait my dear!" Britta said quickly, but the Hoothoot had already gone, and the girl was forced to look back at Peter.

<Oh... oh dear, oh dear! She could be eaten by a Skarmory! Or... or she could be hit by a plane! Oh poor Aera...,> the Paras said sorrowfully, as if each of these things truly had happened.

"I hope she comes back with news soon...," Britta said, stroking Peter's head once more, hoping that Aera wasn't getting too involved.

[EmeraldSky]

No sooner had Rukario cast jhis spell, did he notice various Pokemon coming to see what all the commotion was about. A Houndoom and Mightyena came from the next house over, a Swampert and its master came running from behind him, and a Hoothoot hovered above him--what was he to do?

He could tell these Pokemon he meant them no harm first....

'Don't be afraid everyone...I come in peace." he assured the various Pokemon, all the while afraid as to how they'd react...

[Metaforte]

Name: Darin Himoto

Age:16

Physcial appearance: He surely doesn't look like any super hero Summoner, but he dresses to please himself. He has jet black hair along with a set of dark black eyes. Sometimes you might catch him with a pair of cool black sunglasses above his eyes. He wears an oversized XXL raven black T-shirt along with a set of matching black, long cargo pants and a pair of black, leather Adidas tennis shoes. He has a sterling silver cross chain around his neck along with a diamond encrusted watch around his wrist. He has a tall build and is in between determining weight, not to fat, not to skinny.

Personality: He tends to have a calm and relaxed personality at most times. Although, when it comes to people that are bossy and cocky, as well as people who think there the greatest, he hates and disrespects them. Absol and Skarmory would grow an immediate dislike to the person as well. In battle, he is serious and determined, not be too aggressive nor soft to his pokemon.

Pokemon: Skarmory and Absol. They are almost the complete opposite in personality and ideas. Absol always thinks of a tactical way to accomplish his tasks, while Skarmory will just do what it must do to get what he wants. Absol is usually quiet and obedient, while Skarmory is loud and rather annoying. During battle, Absol could accept a lost and discover another way to defeat his opponent, while Skarmory, on the other hand, won't accept a lost. He will kick sand at the opponent's face, peck at them, or attempt to intimidate his opponent by squawking loudly and performing aerial aerobatics. Both pokemon, however, are obedient and will follow their orders.

Magic type: Summoning

OOC: If I don't get accepted, can you tell me what I did wrong so I can apporve.

[EmeraldSky]

You did fine, you are Accepted!

[Metaforte]

Celadon City was a busy at night. Various types of people and pokemon were working hard, attempting to accomplish their tasks at hand before their bed times. A Machamp, a one of the strongest fighting pokemon out there, was lifting a dozen rough bricks with it's four muscular arms. Skarmory, the steel bird pokemon, glanced at the fighting pokemon, eager for a challenge. Skarmory was always like that. If it wasn't a magneton, fire, or electric pokemon, Skarmory wanted to engage it, having full confidence that it will win. Absol took a quick look at it's friend, and just shook his head.

When Darin entered the suburbs, it was much more quieter than the city. Houses with neatly mown laws, a luxurious automobile in the drive way, and a beautiful garden with many watered flowers was a common sight. Suddenly, Absol sniffed the air furiously.

"What's wrong Absol?" Darin asked, turning his head towards him.

<"I smell fire. It's faint, but it's their. I also smell many more pokemon. All the other scents are familiar to me, but one of them doesn't recall...,"> Absol spoke quietly. Skarmory was unusually quiet. When fire is around, Skarmory tries all his best to keep his beak shut, and not get in a fight.

"Alight then. Absol, lead the way," Darin said casually, following Absol. Skarmory trailed behind Darin.

[EmeraldSky]

Rukario glanced around, interested in the array of trainers and Pokemon as an Absol and a Skarmory arrived with their master. It was now or never...the moon was turning an eerie yellow color, and he had to tell them why it looked that way.

"Trainers, Pokemon...I mean you no harm to you or your loved ones. You may not realize it but your world is in very grave danger--The things and places humans call fantasy; like fairies, unicorns, and magic, are very real and exist in a world very much like this. Phenomena that occurs in this world--such as lightning, rainbows, and snow--that is actually magic crossing into this world."

So far, the humans looked interested, so Rukario took their concerned looks as a sign to continue:

"Even the moon turning yellow from its usual silver--that is a sign to the human world that something is wrong in the Magical World....a rogue shadow Pokemon has escaped from the shadow realm, and is wreaking havoc all over the magical world--and neither I or the four Guardians have the strength to contain it.

Therefore, I beg you to come to the Magical Realm, accept magic for yourself, and learn to use it, so that you may save the Magical world and this world."

[Metaforte]

When the mysterious pokemon was finished with it's speech, Skarmory laughed to himself. He seemed unimpressed. Fairies and Unicorns! He wouldn't believe that nonsense for less than a second. On the other hand, Absol remained silent, listening all the way through. Darin too, paid his full attention to this pokemon, as well as greedy thoughts on how he could catch it. Although, a pokemon like this probably couldn't be captured.

<"This is ridiculous. C'mon guys, lets go...,"> Skarmory was rudely interrupted when Absol struck his leg.

<"Do you believe him?"> Absol asked Darin, looking directly at his face.

"Can't say. Although I guess I'll pay attention more. Because this don't sound made up if you ask me. Plus I ain't never seen that kind of pokemon before," Darin answered.

[Light_Azumarill]

Britta
----------------

"Oh my... look at this Peter!" gasped Britta as she walked cautiously out from the shadows and into the wake of the other trainers and pokemon. There was a Rukario, a number of children around her age, and many different pokemon.

Peter's large and bulging eyes were fixated on the Skarmory nearby. <O-o-oh nooo! Aera DID get eaten by a Skarmory!! I told her! I warned! Did anyone listen; NO!>

Britta smiled knowingly at her little Paras and shook her head, "No no my dear Peter... Aera is perfectly alive and well. See?" she pointed up into the sky where the Hoothoot was fluttering curiously. Peter's bulging eyes couldn't see it properly though, and so he was still worried.

<She should be more carefu-- ah!! What have I stepped in?!> he scuttled away with a look of surprise on him. Britta fought back a chuckle.

She was worried though... worried about this strange sight before her. What was going on? She walked closer, in time to hear the Rukario before them all say its piece. Britta listened carefully, thinking about the pokemon's words. Did she believe him? She heard a voice near her speaking of the validity of the pokemon's words.

"Can't say. Although I guess I'll pay attention more. Because this don't sound made up if you ask me. Plus I ain't never seen that kind of pokemon before."

She walked a little closer to the boy who had said it, and nodded her head. "I agree. After all, what would such a pokemon have to gain from lying?" she shrugged, not knowing if it was indeed true or not, but surely it didn't hurt to listen.

Peter scuttled quietly behind Britta, shaking violently as he gaped at the two pokemon near the boy. A Skarmory and an Absol. Skarmory were intimidating enough, but an Absol? Weren't they supposed to cause disaster? He reminded himself of good things... happy things... to try to keep his nerves under control. Why would Britta ever think of even approaching someone like this?

[Metaforte]

Darin and his companions turned slowly to the trainer with the Hoot Hoot and Paras. Skarmory eyes narrowed sharply, examining the pokemon. Absol though, stood their emotionlessly, then turning back to the Rukario. Darin seemed unimpressed, but didn't want to be rude.

"I agree. After all, what would such a pokemon have to gain from lying?" The trainer asked. Darin didn't exactly thought that the trainer was aiming the question to him, but she probably was because she moved closer to him. Absol remained silent, but Skarmory noticed one of her pokemon were frightened by the duo of pokemon. Skarmory would definitely keep that in mind.

"Yeah, that's true"Darin responded to the trainer."By the way, Im Darin. Who are you?" I asked, awaiting for a reply.

OOC: Sorry for the wait.

[Deathspector]

OOC: Okay.

IC:

Razaan stared at the Pokémon from behind a large teak tree. This Pokémon obviously was no ordinary Pokémon, for it had gathered together all of these trainers. To them, it would seem like a coincidence, because of the burning, and the flame, but Razaan understood. Maybe one or two trainers would be okay, but these many. Even he had been intrigued, although he did not know what it was that intrigued him. It had certainly not been the fire, or anything else. More than anything, it seemed that it was the mere presence of this Pokémon that caused him to veer off is course, and come here.

He had listened intently to his talk about an alternate universe, and knew at once, that this Pokémon was not lying, for several factors. First of all, he had already heard rumours of such a place, and that it existed. Secondly, as one of the other trainers had rightly stated, the Pokémon gained nothing from lying. And finally, this Pokémon could converse with humans. This ability, alone did not make the Pokémon truthful, but a power like that, would only be bestowed upon a truly powerful Pokémon, and by that, meaning something more powerful than even a legendary. Pokémon like that were likely to have a purpose, and would try to carry it out, before anything else.

However, instead of leaping out in front of the Pokémon, Razaan made a mental decision to stay hidden behind the tree. For starters, he would like to know more about this place from this Pokémon. He could, of course walk up, but he did not want to speak with the other trainers, and so, he stayed behind the tree, craning his neck to hear more.

While waiting for the other Pokémon to speak, he looked around at the other trainers wearily.


Pathetic...

[Xiaphear]

nick walked towards the pokemon who was in the middle of all attention.(rukario)
he reached out his hand in an attempt to touch the pokemon.

<he always wants to touch the new things, i hate his bad habit...> wetground walked towards his master and stopped right behind him.

"is this thing real?....is it a hologram or and illusio"n?" nick said reaching even further and almost toching the pokemon, he could feel the body warmth on his hands.
he withdrawed his arm , and walked away towards a pokemon center without saying a single word.

wetground simply followed his master and best friend. <what wrong now?> he questioned.

nick was still walking, but than suddenly stopped when he saw a hoot-hoot above him.
"hey little bird what's the matter?" he asked.

[Light_Azumarill]

Britta
--------------------

"I'm sorry! How rude of me; my name's Britta McMartin. Pleased to meet you sir," the girl said with a polite smile, and she inclined her head a little like a sort of bow," And you?"

Peter was in utter shock. The two powerful pokemon before him didn't look too friendly-- in fact, he was sure that the Skarmory was sizing him up for dinner! Giving him the evil eye he was! Oh why didn't Britta just walk away? The boy she was talking to didn't look nice anyway.

Up in the sky, Aera had heard a boy below her say something. She peered down at him and then flew down, stopping to hover near his face. {I'm sorry did you say something? Oh! There's Britta! Sorry buddy, I gotta go!} she said, dashing off to head over to Britta, whom she had just noticed was talking with a boy.

[EmeraldSky]

"If you all are ready to go, then come with me." Rukario replied. With that, he called "Open the door to where power lives!" A warp hole appeared in the starry night, taking the trainers, their Pokemon, and Rukario with it.

In the magical realm...

A black haired boy clad in the uniform of a black mage knelt on the ground by a pond, a bucket of soil and a screened in box by his side. After removing his gloves, which were red with a sapphire inside the hand, and setting them aside, he picked up a spade, shoveled in some of the dirt into the screen box, and plunged it into the water, every so often shaking it to make sure all the dirt dissolved.

When the box emerged from the water, only a pile of red and green stones remained, which the boy deposited into a bag by his side.

He was about to repeat this process when a warp hole appeared, and the trainers and Rukario emerged. While most of the trainers struggled to untangle themselves, Rukario addressed him: "Sir Ash...I have returned with some willing to accept the magic..."

"Really?" Ash smiled. "That's great news!" With that he shoveled more dirt into his screen box and plunged it underwater again. "Let me finish mining this soil here..."

[Xiaphear]

Nick watched how the hoot-hoot fly back to her trainer untill he had eye-contact with her.
He quickly looked back with a gentle smile,<it's seems to be a nice girl.> he thought.

Nick recovered again and turned himself in the direction of the mystic blue pokemon.
"Hey, blue creature....you want us to come with you....you want me to come?...well?" He asked with a yelling voice.
"Well if you want me to come you will have to wait....cause i'm not going anywhere without my better pokemon, you understand?"
He slowly walked towards the door of the pokemon-center awaiting an awswer.

While Nick was as himself as always, his swampert came closer to the girl with the hoot-hoot. <Hello, uhm how are you?> He asked the hoot-hoot and paras.

"Wetground!?, where are you? Come here will you?" Nick yelled while searching the area for his swampert.

[Metaforte]

Hey, no problem.My name is Darin Himoto. I came from the Hoenn region to find new pokemon and perform other tasks as well, and you didn't have to bow, really. I ain't no one important" Darin replied politely. Absol had his attention on Skarmory for a while for once. Usually, absol would completely ignore the steel bird as much as possible, but Skarmory was scaring Britta's pokemon and Absol didn't approve.

"<Cut it out Skarmory. Leave the Hoot-Hoot and Paras alone,"> Absol spoke.

"<Fine! Whatever. Besides, I wasn't even bothering them."> Skarmory lied, giving one last sinister glare at the girls pokemon. It's not that he hated them, it's just that Skarmory enjoys intimidating others.

Then a Swampert came by Britta and her pokemon. Skarmory then immediately kept his keen eyes at the water pokemon, making sure it doesn't do anything dangerous. Absol paid no attention to the Swampert, however. Then Rukario opened an unfamiliar portal of magical energy. It felt very unpeculiar and maybe unsafe, but Darin took his chances and entered the portal.

[Xiaphear]

OOC: Is it okay to have up to six pokemon with you? and only use two in battle at a time.

IC;

<Uhm, my trainer is calling....will you exuse me for a moment.> Wetground walked a feet steps away, noticing the filthy look of the skarmory.

"Ahhh there you are, we got business before we go into that hole.....are you coming friend?" Nick yelled quistioning when he saw his swampert approaching.

Wetground walked towards his trainer and ended up right before his faithfull friend.
"Good, let's go inside shall we?" Nick said
"Swamp!" Wetground replyed.

[EmeraldSky]

(You can have a complete team, but only two can come with you to the Magical World)

[Light_Azumarill]

Britta
----------------

"Ah, my apologies. You see my mother was very big on formalities, but...," she trailed off, noticing the portal that Rukario had opened. It was strange, and Britta didn't know what to think of it. She felt that the pokemon was being truthful and sincere, but did she really want to walk into some odd portal and go on to this place the pokemon spoke of? Wasn't she busy training?

When the Swampert had approached, Aera was still waiting for Britta to notice she was there, and Peter was still staring wide-eyed at the Skarmory and Absol. Peter did turn when he heard the large, blue pokemon speak. He shook a little more violently. <D-don't eat me!> he said shakily.

Britta looked over at Darin, who didn't seem too hesitant about the portal, and walked right off into it. She suddenly heard flapping wings and a few hoots from above her.

<Britta! I'm here!> the Hoothoot said, <Let's go in the portal! That cool Skarmory just flew in there! And look, there goes the Swampert!>

Britta thought to herself for a moment.

<N-no!! All of the horrid, mean pokemon just went in there! I say good ridance! Let's just go back home and enjoy some television or cookies... please Britta, you can't be thinking of going!> Peter pleaded, his shaking had stopped, but his eyes were still wide with fear.

"Peter...," Britta began, "Rukario is doing this to save people. To save people. We should help; it's just the right thing to do."

<No!!>

<Oh put a sock in it Petey! We're goin'!> Aera hooted harshly, glaring at the Paras. With that, she took off towards the portal, her wings beating fast and a last look to the others before disappearing.

"Return Peter," Britta said softly, holding out her pokeball. Peter whimpered and then was gone. Britta wanted to make sure that Peter wouldn't become too frightened, and she didn't know what waited for them on the other side. It was better this way.

Then she too stepped into the portal, hoping she had made the correct choice.

[EmeraldSky]

In the magical realm...

A black haired boy clad in the uniform of a black mage knelt on the ground by a pond, a bucket of soil and a screened in box by his side. After removing his gloves, which were red with a sapphire inside the hand, and setting them aside, he picked up a spade, shoveled in some of the dirt into the screen box, and plunged it into the water, every so often shaking it to make sure all the dirt dissolved.

When the box emerged from the water, only a pile of red and green stones remained, which the boy deposited into a bag by his side.

He was about to repeat this process when a warp hole appeared, and the trainers and Rukario emerged. While most of the trainers struggled to untangle themselves, Rukario addressed him: "Sir Ash...I have returned with some willing to accept the magic..."

"Really?" Ash smiled. "That's great news!" With that he shoveled more dirt into his screen box and plunged it underwater again. "Let me finish mining this soil here..."

[Xiaphear]

When Nick came out of the pokemon center he saw that everyone was gone and the gate was slowly closing.
"Ow my god!, i'm not to late am I?" He asked himself.
He ran towards the gate and jumped in.

Nick ended up in a entirely new environment.
"This is getting weirder by the second.....huh?....hey guys!" He called.
"Where's that blue pokemon?, ow there you are....what is this place and who or what are you?" He asked very confused.

The box came to the surface of the water again, and revealed the stones.

The other's and their pokemon said nothing.

[EmeraldSky]

Just then, the trainers, Ash, and Rukario heard a breathy sound fill the air, one that sounded like a song.

"Summoner's pipes...Sir Brock must be nearby..." Rukario smiled.

"He plays that song all the time, and I've always wondered what it does." Ash mused as the mysterious melody began again. He gasped as an Articuno flew overhead, apparently headed towards the source of the sound.

Ash motioned for everyone to follow...

[Metaforte]

]Skarmory's eyes were wide open and his jaw dropped. The nightlife of the busy city there were in before vanished when they stepped foot in the portal. He first noticed the boy near the pound, performing some task Skarmory wasn't familiar with. Absol's face however, was more bewildered than the bird's was. This place was different than anywhere else he had visited before.

Darin dusted his cargo pants and his tennis shoes before admiring the environment. One of the trainers asked the blue pokemon where were us. Then a mysterious melody trailed through the air, catching Darin's attention.

"<This is unbelievable! This must be fake, or perhaps a dream!>" Skarmory insisted, staring at the Articuno that just flew by. How could a legendary pokemon like Articuno live here?

"Whoa, this is real different than Celadon. Who are you?" Darin asked the person mining stones and delicate jewelry. A few valuable jewels were found inside the basin and were dumped into a sack. A dirty spade was located beside him.

[Light_Azumarill]

Britta
--------------------

"Oh my...!" Britta gasped, looking around at her new environment. She almost couldn't believe what was happening. She had heard of pokemon using teleportation powers, but this was different. This place didn't even look like the same world. They truly were in the Magical World.

She spotted Aera hovering beside her, and for once the bird pokemon was speechless. It seemed that there were things in existance that could surprise her. Britta would have chuckled at this if it were not for the fact that her voice seemed to have left her.

She saw Darin and another boy asking questions, and figured that she needn't talk; they had asked the questions she was wondering, though she did know some of the answers.

"Um, pardon me," she said softly to the boy with black hair and scars on his face, "I believe that the blue pokemon said that we are here to save our world and this magical world from a terrible fate. Something about a 'shadow pokemon', I believe?"

Aera hooted softly to herself.

[EmeraldSky]

Rukario met Ash and the trainers in a forested grove. Brock was also nearby with the Articuno, playing what looked like a set of panpipes.

"Welcome to the Magical World, everyone..." Rukario began. "These two are but two of the Guardians of this world: Sir Ash, of black magic..." Ash waved hello as he handed a ruby to Rukario. "and Sir Brock, of summoning magic." Brock stopped his song long enough to wave, then whispered something to the Articuno, who nodded and flew off towards a castle in the distance.

"What Sir Ash was mining earlier were magical stones--jewels that hold the power needed to cast magic." Rukario continued. "If a non magical object touches a Magical Stone, it becomes enchanted."

"So, what I'd like you to do is touch this ruby and gain the magic that has chosen you...you will gain an aura for a few moments, but do not fear...that is your magic flowing inside of you."

(Red is black magic, blue is white magic, yellow is time magic, and green is summoning magic)

[Xiaphear]

" A shadow pokemon.....what on earth, or must i say this world is that?" Nick asked awnsering Britta. " Ow yeah uhm.....my name's Nick and the swampert's name was Wetground. I brought my best pokemon for my journey....sooooo" he continued.

Waiting for a response he turned himself to Rukario(Lucario in english O_o, just found out)
and said; "Okay....i think i get it. i think i'll touch the red one.....is that o k with you?"

His second pokéball began to wiggle a little, triggering his first to wiggle too.
"Yeah, yeah just a little while longer guys"
He thought.

<My jaw is hurting when is he letting us out?> a voice said out of the first pokeball, loud enough for the hoot-hoot to hear.
< I don't know, i have the smae problem with my legs.> the second pokeball's voice said.

[EmeraldSky]

(Rukario and Lucario are basically the same thing, either one is acceptable. I'm using the Japanese spelling because it looks nicer.)

After a while, the group heard the squawk of an Articuno as it returned to the grove, two girls aboard its back.

"Thank you, Kouri..." Brock smiled at the Articuno as its passengers climbed onto the ground.

"These two are the other guardians..." Rukario explained. "Lady Misty of white magic, and Lady May of time magic."

[Light_Azumarill]

OOC: I too prefer Rukario. But yeah, they're the same thing. ^^;;


Britta
--------------------

"Pleased to meet you Nick. My name is Britta. Britta McMartin," the girl answered, bowing slightly. It was more like an automated response for her.

Aera blinked and let out a small hoot at hearing Nick's pokemon's voices. She eyed his pokeballs. <Hm... I think some pokemon are getting mighty impatient! Heh!> she hooted aloud, circling around Nick's body for a moment before going back to hovering beside Britta.

"Aera, please, Rukario is telling us something important," Britta asked her pokemon, holding up a finger to her mouth in a sushing gesture.

As Rukario explained the way to gain magical abilities, Britta wondered what hers would be. She wasn't very keen on fighting, and so she wasn't really even sure of all of this. She reached out to touch the ruby that Rukario had indicated, but hesitated in touching it.

<Just do it Britta!> squawked Aera, knocking the girl with her small bulk and causing her to trip and awkwardly touch the ruby.

"Guh! Aera...," Britta said doefully as she was engulfed in a blue aura. It was pretty, yet a little scary. After all, this was all so strange, and it was certainly enough to make anyone a little anxious.

[EmeraldSky]

Rukario smiled as the girl touched his ruby, making her gain a blue aura. White magic has chosen this one... he smiled.

"I guess, I'm going to train you...Britta, was it?" Misty replied as she helped her trainee stand--gaining magical power had made her a bit woozy. "First of all, these are for you..." and Misty slipped a few rubies into a bag the girl was carrying.

"One spell that doesn't require a stone is conjuring objects." Brock interjected. "Just think of something, and snap! There it is." With that, he snapped, summoning his panpipes again.

"You can also play magic on enchanted instruments..." Misty explained. "the more instruments playing the spell, the stronger it is. Brock just continued a calm melody, making some flowers drift by. Misty just snapped, summoning harp, and joined in with the song, making more kinds of flower petals drift by...

[Light_Azumarill]

Britta
---------------------

"Truly? White magic?" Britta repeated, awestruck. She nodded as Misty said her name, unable to form anything in her mind to say.

She watched curiously as the rubies were put in her bag. This was strange indeed. Though, it gave the girl confidence to see the others talk about these strange things so easily. Hopefully she would not disappoint them.

Aera hooted happily. <Ooh! Go Britta!> she said, flapping around the girl.

Britta stared as Misty and Brock both summoned instruments out of thin air. Where did they come from? Their minds? It was so strange and facinating. Britta wasn't sure about being able to do that; it was so different from anything in their world.

"Oh... so I just think of something? Does it have to be of this world?" Britta asked, hoping she wasn't sounding too dumb.

[EmeraldSky]

"Just think of something, and snap, and there it will be." Misty assured her trainee before setting her instrument aside to observe her trainee...to see what it was she would form.

"Taking five?" Ash smiled at Brock before snapping to form a small endblown flute made of crystal. "Mind jamming with me for a while?"

"Okay..." Brock smiled. With that, a different song began, with the pipes doubling the whistle's melody...

[Xiaphear]

"Hey that looks cool, a bit strange but cool. Surely not as strange i make at home but....ack, let me try it" Nick said touching the stone in rukario's paws.

The aura envolved Nick entirely. The force of the aura made the two pokeball's open up.
a flash of light appeared and an ariados and feraligator appeared.
" Tarantula?,....Crocodile?.....what the?" Nick asked himself with tweeked eyes.

Crocodile laid his claws on his jaw and brorught it into position. *snap*
<Finally some fresh air again...so wha---what the!?> the feraligator quistioned, once he saw the strange world.
<What's wrong big guy?> Tarantula asked.
<See for yourself....>
The ariados turned around, and he was startled by the amazing sight.

"now that you are out....you can stay out, okay boys?" Nick asked his pokemon.
"Gator"
"Dos"
He asumed it both ment 'yes'.

[EmeraldSky]

(Um, what color was the aura?)

[Metaforte]

"Pick one of these gems huh?"Darin asked himself. He had to think thoroughly with this. He had no clue on what these gems would do and what were they for. I gave a last look at the small cluster of gems, a slowly reached for the shimmering green gem.

Suddenly, a strange rush of unfamiliar energy overcame Darin's body. Skarmory stared at him, his eyes widen, but then realized Darin's look on his face and stood down. Absol remained quiet, admiring the environment. Then, the strange rush of energy began to fade away and his usual feeling suddenly kicked back in.

Darin then noticed that Britta selected the red ruby, and she too had an aura coat around her body. The kid they called Nick selected one of the enchanting gems as well. Then Darin noticed the Articuno came back with two girls on board. Lucario then informed us that they were known as Lady May of Time Magic and Lady Misty of White. Misty then approached Britta and they began to talk.

I turned to Lucario."Hey, what does it mean if I pick the green gem?" I asked the pokemon, awaiting for a reply.

[EmeraldSky]

(What was your aura's color?)

[Metaforte]

OOC: I guess it would be green because the gem is green. I really don't know for sure.

[EmeraldSky]

(Just so everyone's clear, red means black magic, blue means white magic, yellow means time magic, and green means summon magic)

[Deathspector]

OOC: First off, sorry for this OOC post, but jst to let all of you know that I might not be on for a couple of days, and EmeraldSky, feel free to control my character until then, just until I come back.

[EmeraldSky]

(Okay then, see you soon!)

[Xiaphear]

( OOC: the aura is red, .....in that case >.<...stupjid mey.)

[Light_Azumarill]

Britta
----------------

"Oh that sounds... very strange, but I will try it!" Britta said to Misty, frowning a little in self-doubt. She closed her eyes, rather unnecessarily, but it helped her concentrate. She thought of something back home, a small statuette of a Pidgey that was in her room. It was her favorite thing, and so she figured it would have strong memories and a strong mental picture in her mind.

She held out her hand, expecting it to appear anytime soon. A few seconds of silence went by, and then a few more. She imagined the statue, its little Pidgey feet and Pidgey wings spread in flight. The rough and yet smooth texture of the wings.

Suddenly she felt a weight in her hand, as if she had suddenly picked up something and held it out. She opened her eyes.

"Look! There's the statue! I... I can't believe it," she said, staring at the very statue she had been imagining.

<Wow... can I do that too?!> Aera hooted jealously.

[EmeraldSky]

"Very good!" Misty smiled. "Now try and think of something to help you wield your spells with..."

Ash, meanwhile; was teaching his trainee the same spell. "Just think of whatever you'd like and snap; like this!" He snapped, making his staff appear in one hand...

[Metaforte]

Darin glanced towards Britta's direction, amazed on what she just created. How in the world did she perform such a task? Maybe this world was the real thing. Darin jogged towards Britta while Skarmory and Absol obediently followed.

"Hey Britta, how did you do that? Maybe I should have picked the red one," Darin asked. Skarmory immediately noticed that the Hoot-Hoot was seen near his or her trainer. Skarmory was about to begin his little intimidation scheme, but Skarmory had to show some sort of respect to the tiny bird since they were both flying types.

"Hey, Sir Ash? What can I do with this gem?" Showing him the mystic green gem.

[EmeraldSky]

"That is a Magical Stone...you need that to cast spells" Ash explained. "But let me show yoou how to mine them yourself. "He motioned the boy to follow until he approached a stream and formed a screened in box, a bucket of soil, and a spade

'First you put some soil in the box..." Ash explained. "Then you slosh it in the water until it dissolves...and when you bring it up, only stones are left."

[Metaforte]

"I see. That doesn't seem too difficult. Now how are we supposed to use the stones anyway? Also, how did Britta do the thing she did?" Darin asked, his curiosity growing, eager to use this magic for the greater good.

Absol decided to enjoy the scenery and rest near the quiet pound. He stared at his own reflection for a while before turning away. Skarmory was watching what Ash and Darin was doing while splashing ripples into the warm water, altering his reflection when he gazed upon it. Skarmory too was waiting for something exciting to happen, like a pokemon battle of some sort. He never really had a good battle for a while

[Xiaphear]

OOC; (He's under the group of ash, right?....black magic?)

Nick looked along over Ash's shoulder.
"So the stone posses power which makes it possible to cast magic spell's? And the more rare the stone is , the more power is given.?" he asked his master.
"And didn't you ask me to make an object come out of thin air, just like you with the staff and Britta wit the statue?" He continued.

Meanwhile.
Crocodile and Tarantula snapped out of there mood of amaze.
<let's make some more friend's, whadda yah say Taran?> The feraligator asked.
<F-Fine let's d-do that> Tarantula awnserd nervously.
Crocodile was approaching the skarmory and absol. And Tarantula approuched the hoot-hoot and paras.

Nick was still watching how Ash explained the fact of the stones, still awaiting some response to his questions too.

[EmeraldSky]

"The automatic creation spell that Misty demonstrated doesn't require a stone." Ash explained. Just think of something you'd like and snap." With that, he snapped, making his own staff appear in his hands. "Go ahead, try it!" He nervously toyed with the jewel at the top of his weapon, anticipating what the new trainees would conjure...

[Light_Azumarill]

OOC: Sorry to say it, but I'll be going on a 5-day vacation starting tomorrow. I don't know if I'll have Internet access during the trip at all, so don't count on me posting. Um, someone can control my character if they'd like, or you all can just bunny her around until I get back.

[EmeraldSky]

(Okay, that's fine....just for the record, no one's turning evil...but someone getting captured somewhere along the way is fine.)

[Xiaphear]

OOC: Sorry to say it, but I'll be going on a 5-day vacation starting tomorrow. I don't know if I'll have Internet access during the trip at all, so don't count on me posting. Um, someone can control my character if they'd like, or you all can just bunny her around until I get back.

(I think it's been 5 days already.)

[EmeraldSky]

(I was beginning to worry that the RP would die...

For the record, the monsters are typical Zelda/Final Fantasy fare, plus Shadow Pokemon.)

[Scottura]

Okay...you are Pending

Please clarify what you mean by Dark Magic (I assume you mean Black Magic; because true dark magic is forbidden)

Sorry, I ment black magic. Got a bit confused

[EmeraldSky]

Okay, then you are Accepted! in that case.

[Xiaphear]

"The automatic creation spell that Misty demonstrated doesn't require a stone." Ash explained. Just think of something you'd like and snap." With that, he snapped, making his own staff appear in his hands. "Go ahead, try it!" He nervously toyed with the jewel at the top of his weapon, anticipating what the new trainees would conjure...

" I'll try, wha!" Nick yelled before closing his eyes and concetrating on an object he wanted to have i his hands. He thought about his poke-DNA collecter he diesigned himself, he concetrated on the machine, he felt the weight, opened his eyes and.......a screwdriver in a glass jar was in his hands.

"What the?m i was aming on my Dna-collertor not this. Uhm master ash could you explain?" He asked.

[EmeraldSky]

"Looks like you weren't focusing hard enough...conjuring the wrong object can happen when you're not focused." Ash cautioned.

"If you'd like to explore, feel free to do so, but be aware that there are monsters afoot." Rukario cautioned. "They attack any time, anywhere...

"There's an arena here if you want to learn to use weapons...swords, bows, things like that." Misty added.

"Or if you wanna learn to brew a potion or two, come talk to me!" Brock smiled.

[Scottura]

thanx. sorry it took a while.

COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]Skarmory and Absol noticed a Fereligatr came closer to them. He seemed friendly and was willing to make new friends. Absol really had no problem with that, but Skarmory would immediately engage it in battle to test its strength. Darin was busy with some other task, so he wouldn't know that Skarmory is out causing trouble.

Absol approached the pokemon."<Who are you and what's your story>" He asked. [/COLOR]

[EmeraldSky]

Ash, meanwhile, was showing those interested in weaponry the different weapons in the castle's arsenal: "We have just about any sort of weapon you can think of here...daggers, rapiers, broadswords, bows, flails, staffs, knuckles for the fighters in the audience, axes--you name it, we got it.

As such, you can unlock the magical power of any weapon, but what techniques you can do depend on your magic level, the weapon you're using and your skill with that weapon." He looked around to see if there were any questions....

OOC: Sorry; I was being lazy. ^^; But you still could have posted... your character wasn't even talking to mine. o.O


Britta
----------------

The girl blinked, confused about what she was supposed to conjure as a magic item. "I'm confused...," she said to Misty, "What sort of thing would help me with magic? After all, I am from a world that doesn't use it so how could I... know?"

Aera hooted playfully, noticing the others as they spoke of weapons. She was sure that kind-hearted Britta wouldn't want to use weapons, but it was in her best interest to learn to protect herself. Aera would have to mention something to her after her current conversation.

[EmeraldSky]

"Just to demonstrate, let me show you an example of a staff technique..." Ash explained as he called over a blue and yellow staff with a ruby on top. "Staffs are my favorite weapon to use." he explained. He waited until he saw a blur of purple by a tree--a Shadow Rattata. The ruby on his staff began to glow white, the Ash called "Halo!"

At this the staff fired a ring of magical energy at the Shadow Rattata, making it appear to have a halo for a few seconds, before the ring expanded, binding up its target and purifying it.

[Scottura]

Scott ran as fast as he could thinking "Great I'm going to be late for class, and on my first day!" He rounded a corner and spotted his class. They were watching Ash use a staff on a shadow pokemon. "Maybe no-one will notice me if I just sneek in at the back" Scott thought as he made it to the back of the class...

[EmeraldSky]

"Here's a handy technique to trap something if Halo doesn't work." Ash explained as he noted a Shadow Pidgeotto in the grass. The ruby on his staff started to glow a golden yellow... "Golden Pyres!"

At this several golden stakes popped out of the ground, rendering the Pidgeotto unable to escape, At the same time, the spikes released Holy magic, purifying the avain Pokemon inside.

[Xiaphear]

Nick was watching as his master fired away with his holy magic.
"Uhm Mister Ash do you.....or can you teach me some...or us, spme water and/or ice magic? I'm bit of a water/ice lover." He asked.

A quiet sound of footsteps caught the interest of Tarantula.
<Some-one is sneaking in the bushes> He said to himself.

[EmeraldSky]

"All right, here's the lv. 1 Ice spell..." and the ruby on Ash's staff turned blue. "Scatter your chilly sharp blades! Ice!"

At this, a blast of frost went flying towards a pond, making it freeze over. Some of the other trainees decided to try ice skating...for about three seconds. Ash couldn't resist snickering as the trainees scrambled to get out of the water, all of them sopping wet.

"Now it's your turn." he assured his trainee...

[Xiaphear]

"Okay, do you have to say the line.......well for the good luck.
"Scatter your chilly sharp blades! Ice!" He reapeated Ash.
But he didn't manage to freeze over the pond. Instead he froze his own hand.

"G...god, this is cold...little mis..stakes.s.s.s hap..p..pen." He said.

"Can y...you....make u..up your own s...s...spells when you grow strong..g..ger?"

[EmeraldSky]

"You can learn stronger spells and techniques as you get better." Ash explained. He whispered "Destruction of nature, gather in flame! Heat!", conjuring a fireball small enough to melt his trainee's frozen hand.

"Not only that, you can play magic on enchanted instruments..." May added.

"Or whip up a potion or two." Brock smiled, sheepishly toying with a life potion he had made earlier.

[Scottura]

"Phew, no-one's noticed me being late," Scott thought as he watched Ash teach the class about spells. Scott became bored and started staring at the forest. "This might be a bit easier if they knew Light attacks... That might defeat the shadow pokemon..."

[Xiaphear]

Unfortunaly Tarantula noticed Scott being late, but only he noticed.
"Aria! Riados!" He growled.

<Too late, HAH! Too late!>

[Scottura]

"So much for being lucky," Scott thought as he heard the Ariados growl. "Shhh! I'm trying to keep a low profile." Scott whispered to the Ariados he located nearby.

[EmeraldSky]

"Next, for the fighters in the audience, I'm gonna show you guys some moves with knuckles." Ash explained as he made his staff disappear and conjured some silver knuckles in its place. After slipping off his mage's gloves and puttting the knuckles on in their place, Ash explained "Using knuckles doesn't limit you to just punches, you can kick too, like this..." and he proceeded to jump and deliever a kick to the air, releasing a small tornado. "Whirlwind Kick!"

[Xiaphear]

"uhm, ok.......i'll go and train some now, okay?" Nick said.

"I forgot the line, anyway.....Scatter your sharp icy blades! Freeze!"
Nick yelled. Still three finger's where frozen, but then again a few leaves in a tree and a part of misty's hair where too.

First he looked at his fingers
"Aww man"
than at the tree
"Yesh!"
than at misty
"Oops......I'm soooo srry" He apoligized as he waves his hand to melt the ice.....again.

[EmeraldSky]

"It's okay...I get burnt, frozen, and zapped all the time." Misty giggled as she waved the ice away. Once she looked reasonably presentable, she continued. "If you'd still like to practice your spells, there's a huge field out that way..." she suggested, pointing off to the south. "Just be careful of monsters."

(There will be quests and events to build up your skills)
