Twisted Quest

[Zelos]

Note: The RP is now closed to any more people wanting to post a sign-up and/or reserve a spot, we have a lot already. Please don't anyone else ask.

The local professor of Twilight City has sent off a new group of trainers to begin their journey. Due to the increased amount of crime in Kyou, the lab administration has decided that instead of sending off trainers individually, they will travel together in small groups consisting of 5-6 people. This way if trouble arises the faction will surely be able to fend off anything that may pose a threat.

One such group has just left. They have moved on to the neighboring city of Twilight, Radiance City, the location of the very first Gym. They have just stopped in the Pokemon Center to take a little rest from the long trek.....

Objective: You're just a regular trainer that's traveling with the group mentioned above, trying to earn badges and train your Pokemon. The group didn't talk much on the way there so you're pretty much just meeting the other trainers...

However, if you choose to take a look at the news or even a local paper you'll find that lots of crime has been springing up all over the region. What could possibly be happening? Maybe you'll find out something during your adventure, who knows...

Rules

First off, there's going to be a few guidelines here. You must comply with ALL RPG rules that have been posted and stickied in this very forum. I'd suggest you go there and take a look at them. If a rule is broken, then you'll be issued a warning. if it happens again, I'll kick you out. It's as simple as that. Also, here's a couple more things:

- No Psychic powers (Sorry, I'd like this to be as normal as possible)

- No anthromorphs/hybrids

- I do not want to see people with a Dragonite or a Salamence! You haven't even gotten your first badge yet, so you won't have a lot of Pokemon nor will they be very strong. Don't worry, you'll catch more Pokemon and evolve others as things move along

- No special powers (Pretty much sumarizes everything here)

-As in the RPG rules, I want four FULL lines of text in each of your posts. I don't want you stopping in the middle of the line and going to the next line because you're too lazy to actually do four full lines. I want to extend all the way from the beginning to the end. =3

This sounds fun and interesting! I am inclined to join, but will you have this go on, seeing as no one else has noticed it? If you still want to do this, I'll post up my Sign-Up sheet. ^^

[Zelos]

Umm, yes, I'm still going on. I made it a couple days ago, but it hadn't been approved until just a little while ago. I'm sure not many people have noticed it yet.

[Sanctuary]

I must say it looks interesting as well! Reserve me a spot cause I'm a bit tired now...
So are we playing as one character? Or do we roleplay as the whole group...as in we make 1 group ourselves? (sorry that may have sounded confusing...I'm quite confused myself!)

~Mighty_Mightyena99 :t262:

[Zelos]

Actually, you make one character. Everyone else does as well and then they all travel together in one group.

[Aorio]

Hey hey! Me and Top are signing up! =D
Name: Jen, Nicknames: JJ, (Jay-Jay) Jennie.
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: Jen is always wearing Her favorite dark, denom flares and a shirt that rises above her belly button. Her shirt is a shade of dark green, and she always wears a denom jacket over the short-sleeved shirt. She has a skinny figure, and her brown eyes match her long, dark brown hair. She always wears a green jewel clip in her hair, she calls it good luck. Her necklace is made of jade, and it's in the shape of a rabbit. She says, "I only wear it for two reasons; One because my grandmother gave it to me, and two, I can't play my gameboy without it."
Personality: Jen is sweet, sometimes sassy, but hardly anyone knows that because she hardly ever comes out of her house. She has few friends, and is loyal to them all. She hardly ever speaks, not even to voice her opinion. She's a fantastic writer, and thinks of writing a book about herself some day called, "Speak now or forever hold your peace." She calls it, "The perfect sentence to describe me." She's addicted to her GameBoy. She is also very shy, and gets freaked out by pokemon bigger than a Flygon. She isn't exactly a social butterfly, either. She has hardly ever lied in her life, she knows that if she does, she gets grounded from her precious game boy.
Pokemon:

Bulbasaur, Female.


History: Her mom and her dad had gotten divorced, and occasionally she went to see her dad in another state, but otherwise she lives with her mom. She has never been in an orphanage, but ran away once when her mother told her she couldn't have her gameboy back. Her mother was looking all night for her, and found her -with her gameboy- under a slide at the end of their trailer park.
Other: Jen is good in most every school subject, besides gym. "Ya run around in circles, ya shoot some hoops... whadda ya gain? Sweat."
RP Sample: (This is from another RP ^^) Same Old boring day. I had been laying on my comfy bed, with my life-long friend and pokemon, Cinna, the Eevee. I gave out a heaving sigh flipping thoughtlessly through channels. Channel 02.. 03... 04 BOOM The news came on. It was always louder than anything else.
"Jen, honey! Turn that down!" Came an echoing voice from mother's world. "Okay, mum!!" I rolled my eyes, making me look straight at abuot ten Suicune-posters on my ceiling. I snatched the remote from my nightstand beside of me and hit a triangular button turning the volume on the TV down. I was about to continue flipping through channels when the TV mentioned something about Suicune, my favorite pokemon.
"There have been sightings of the legendary Suicune all over the state," Says a reporter. I gasped and the remote fell from my limp hands onto the carpeted floor. Cinna jumped in surprise, and I calmed her down by patting her head. "Suicune..." I continued watching. "..one person was even killed! We are looking for it now, making SURE it won't cause any more trouble, with traps and guns." Tears fell from my eyes. "They can't! They can't kill Suicune!!" I buried my head into my pillow, and I heard something fall onto the ground. I looked over the side of my bed. A Suicune figure. I cautiously grasped it in my hands and examined it. Suddenly, on the screen appeared the same figure-- but larger and more real. My jaw dropped open. "Don't kill it!" I screamed into my pillow, as I forced myself to turn around. "Don't kill Suicune!"

[Fateful]

I'll join it. Save me a spot and I'll post my sign-up real soon.

[Seifer]

Can you save me a spot? I might post most of the information today.

[Zelos]

Alright. Everyone's spots are reserved. Be sure to get those in ASAP.

(I'll Approve/Decline/Look at everything later today when I've got some free time)

[AngieKit]

Alright, sounds good! Thanks for starting a decent role play =D!


Name: Mim Garner

Age: Sixteen

Gender: Female

Appearance: Long, curly black hair hangs lightly to her hips, and bright blue eyes peer out from the frame of almost-perfect eye lashes. A white tank top and baggy gray pants cling both attractively and comfortably to chocolate-brown skin.

Personality: Mim is collected and calm, and mostly silent. But when in the need, her words are worth gold and have some meaning behind them.

Pokemon: Charmander

History: Mim, for the most part, had grown up in a suitable environment. Her mother and her father were kind and gentle, and both had jobs, but made sure to spend time with their only child. Mim refused to be self-centered and spolied, though, like most other only-child children. She grew up with the need of adventure, and when the day came...she was all for it, despite the dangers and challenges that lay ahead.

Other: Even though Mim choose to be a Pokemon Trainer, she really wasn't into the whole collect gym badges thing. Acting more as a supporter and friend, she travels with her group, but still raises Pokemon, and sometimes participates in trainer-to-trainer battles.

RP Sample: A rose petal, soft and vibrant in color, came to land on her curly black hair. Mim shifted her head, and it fluttered lazily down onto her folded hands. A pleasing smile gracing her lips, Mim raised her hands, cupping the rose petal within them. Flattening her hands, palms up, she lowered her head, bright blue eyes glittering as she gently blew at the rose petal. It came to life, fluttering away, landing in the cool stream of water that flowed slowly and steadily past her feet. A day of peace and beauty...
(I know that had nothing to do with much, but it's something. ^^)


Alright! I hope that works ^^!

[Seifer]

Alright, like I said, I have some info.

Name: Ryan (Does it have to be a full name?)

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Appearance: http://www.squareuniverse.net/downloads/wallpaper_winampskins/kh/kh-art007.jpegThe sword, wings and the claws on his left hand are not included. His hair color is blue, he has red eyes and a scar on his left cheek. He has a long red cape around his neck to make him look misterious.He puts on a necklace that has a flame indept on a stone to give him courage. He wears a glove on his right hand but not on the left.

Personality: Ryan is someone who doesn't have many friends, because he doesn't wish to. He's very lonely and likes to do almost everything by himself. He doesn't talk much. He can be aggressive when anyone is in his way. He likes to train his pokemon and treat them as his friends. He's always been brave and never gives up when troubles or problems occur. When he doesn't feel depressed, he trys to get closer to people and talk with them. Though, he can be shy at most times.

Pokemon: Totodile and Houndour.

History: Ryan's father died of cancer 2 years ago. He lives with his mother and his grandparents. His older brother left them and went to travel around the world, so he one day thought that he didn't want to stay at home. Then he decided to go on a journey with his pokemon and travel to all places he'd never been to. He hopes one day that'll he'll meet his brother face-to-face along the way. He lives in an unknown mountain where people train powerful fire pokemon. In the mountain, there was a small lake where it said that underwater pokemon live in there. Ryan went fishing one day to find some fish to eat and he came across a totodile. That is how Ryan found his first pokemon.

RP Sample: Ryan was staring at his pokemon to see why they were so tense. He looked above and seen an amazing 7 colored bird. He wondred about it for a second, and then thought it was only his imagination. It was gone. He looked down at his pokemon once again, they were just staring back at him blindly. He turned the other way and climbed down the mountain. He came across a friend from there, as usual, he was shy. He pretended that he didn't even see him. As he was climbing, his shirt got stuck on one of the edges of the mountain. He untied it with his hand, but then fell down and landed on a river, all wet.

[Zelos]

Memory - Pending:Like I said, you won't have many Pokemon nor will they be strong. How did Jen come across two starter Pokemon AND three Eevee's?...

Top::Legend - Accepted!:Though, if you don't mind, I would like it if you added a little bit more to Mim's personality~

Roy Mustang - Pending: As soon as you you finish up everything and add the role-play sample, then I'll look at it completely. *Nudges* Though, so far, it's looking pretty good. ^^

[Aorio]

[Seifer]

Roy Mustang - Pending: As soon as you you finish up everything and add the role-play sample, then I'll look at it completely. *Nudges* Though, so far, it's looking pretty good. ^^

Alright, I edited my post.

And as for the RP sample, I think this my first time signing up in a RP. I just wanted to join this one because I thought it would be fun.

So.. I don't really have one. ^^;

[Zelos]

You don't have to take it from an old RP, that was just a suggestion. All you have to do is just write a little bit and show how good you can do,

[Seifer]

You don't have to take it from an old RP, that was just a suggestion. All you have to do is just write a little bit and show how good you can do,

Alright, I edited the post again.

Sorry if the sample was bad, I just couldn't think of anything else at the time.

[Zelos]

*Nods*

Everyone is accepted so far.

To everyone else: Please get your sheets in soon~

(Also, I added another rule. Please take a look at it)

[AngieKit]

If you do not mind, Tempest, I would like to find out more about her personality as we go along. I am not one to have a character down flat at first creation--I have to work with them, and they will develope their own.

But it you really need me to, then I shall. ^^

[Zelos]

Alright then, that's fine.

Once again, people, please get your sign-ups in~

[Sanctuary]

Sorry that its not 'that' good. I'm really not feeling well and I got a fever. So I did this the best as I could.

Name: Hanako Tsubaki
Age: 13 ~> 14
Gender: Female
Appearance: Hanako is a bit smaller than the average size 13 year old. She wears a white hat, which has a little blue symbol on it of a Poochyena. She has long, thick black hair which goes just past her shoulders and up to about her hips. She has a black t-shirt, a blue jacket and short black pants. Hanako has short black boots also (not high heels).
Personality: Hanako looks like the really quiet type, but really she is not like that at all. She is somebody who is always very calm and kind to everybody. Hanako is a very polite girl and always sticks up for her friends. Hanako can though show hatred to the ones who are cold hearted and hates those who are cruel and too self-centered. But besides that Hanako normally gets along with everybody.
Sometimes, Hanako is quite clumsy and makes a fool of herself.

Pokemon:
Nickname: Shadow
Species: Poochyena
Gender: Male

Nickname: Icey
Species: Spheal
Gender: Female

History: Hanako had quite a normal life as a child. Supportive and kind parents, she had everything that a normal child would want and enough to live happily. Because her parents did not want to raise her up to be a selfish child, they did not give her everything she wanted. Her mother was just a normal mother, and Hanako’s father was a Pokemon Ranger. Hanako tagged after her father, who loved Pokemon and he took care of the forest that they had lived in. While staying with her dad as a young child, she found a wild Poochyena who was very friendly. It came up and looked at Hanako longing for some berries that they had picked from the forest. As Hanako gave it some, she thought it was adorable and was then such a big fan of Poochyena. After deciding to become a Pokemon trainer, her father and mother gave her a present before she left, which was a Poochyena.

Other: Hanako likes to keep her Pokemon outside of their Pokeballs at anytime possible. The only Pokemon Hanako leaves out most of the time (unless a crisis) is Shadow, her Poochyena. But Shadow, unlike Ash’s Pikachu can go in the Pokeball but Hanako decides not to put him in.

RP Sample:
‘Oh I’m so tired!’ Cibera said as she started to yawn. ‘Today is just going to be one normal day…’ she said running towards the bus stop to come and meet one of her best friends. Akane, her friend just smiled and they both exchanged their greetings. They started to talk about what they had today and later Cibera’s entire group had come. The bus came about 20 minutes after and was driven to school.

In class, after the teacher had said good morning, a new student came in. It was a young male, who had spiky hair that seemed to go in every direction. He had a big cheesy grin on his face, and his shirt was hanging out. The teacher scolded him but he replied softly, ‘No way….’ Luckily for him, the teacher just told him how hard it must be for him to come to a new town, so she just pointed him toward his seat, which was next to Cibera.
When he reached his seat, Cibera introduced herself and she stretched out her hand for a friendly handshake. ‘Hello! I see you are new here. I’m Cibera, Cibera Tsubaki, it is nice to meet you.’
He just looked at her with his cold, blue eyes and just replied, ‘Get away from me you freak.’ Then he just turned away, which left a stunned Cibera.

[Zelos]

Mighty Mightyena99 - Accepted!

MJ's the only person left.

~Sakura

[AngieKit]

I hope she gets her profile in soon...^^!

[Zelos]

Yes, I've been telling her but she's been kinda busy. I promise we'll start tomorrow and then she can join in later.

Again, really sorry everyone. I'll send PM's out to everyone tomorrow to alert them that it is starting.

[Fateful]

Name: Moona-people call her Mia though-
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: Moona wears a solid black short sleeve t-shirt along with a pair of ripped jeans. Her tennis shoes are a mild grey color. Her hair is strangely white. It goes down her to about her waist then stops with sort of a jagged look to it. Her eyes are as dark as the night sky during that day, but at night they are a light sky blue that seem to glow a little bit. Around her neck is a black choker.
Personality: Moona is the quiet type. She rarely ever speaks more than a couple words, let alone a sentance or two. Normally, she keeps to herself, most of the time deep in thought. At times Moona can be jumpy, especially with new people. Most of the time, she shows no emotion at all though. She is really quite a caring person, she just doesn't show it often.
Pokemon:
Name: Star
Species: Eevee
Gender: Female

History: This shall be revealed along the way in the RP.
Other: Star never goes inside a pokeball. She follows Moona every step she takes. They both are very attached to one another.

RP Sample:
There was a loud splash from nearby. The eevee's ears twitched slightly as she ran towards the direction of the splash. When she reached the lake, she looked around frantically. Suddenly, she was hit with a burst of ice cold water. "Got you, Star!" A girls voice exclaimed happily. The eevee shot a glare at the girl who had surfaced the water. Then they both started laughing. The girl climbed carefully out of the lake and onto the ground. She lay there, a smile on her face as the sun warmed and dried her body. Star curled into a small brown bundle of fur next to her.

A girl of seventeen sat up, breathing heavily. J-Just a dream... She thought to herself shaking her head. "Why do I keep seeing those kinds of things?" She muttered. An eevee was standing next to her in the blink of an eye. "I'm fine Star...just a memory that's all." The girl muttered. "Well, we better get moving." She said standing up and stretching. Her sky blue eyes searched the sky and they started walking.
------------------------
There! Done! Sorry, but I've been totally busy. I hope this is good enough.

[Zelos]

Alright, everyone accepted! I'll send a PM out to everyone to tell them that we're starting~


-------------

Toren sighed, sitting down on a bench inside the Pokemon Center and shutting his eyes. His silver hair settled down around the his neck and the top of his back. His Taillow was currently flying around the building, looking around and trying to explore every single inch of the place. The bird had been known to be a very curious Pokemon, always having to spend a couple minutes checking out its surroundings before moving on.

"Taillow, come here!"

Toren called out, glaring at the Taillow as it perched upon one of them many green video phones. The blue bird chirped and circled around in the air before eventually settling down on Toren's shoulder. Toren smiled and caressed its feathers softly.

(Just a reminder, everone starts here in the Pokemon Center of Radiance City)

[Sanctuary]

Hanako picked up Shadow, her Poochyena as it bounded up to her after a long run around with Ice. "Oh it's nice to finally see you Shadow!" Hanako picked him up and gave him a big hug. "Are you hungry? You always bound back just when your hungry...where's Ice?" She stood up and looked around hoping that she would find Ice, her Spheal somewhere. Hanako sighed, 'Your probably causing trouble for somebody else out there...' She then sat down but then suddenly felt really cold. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed as she looked down to see an Ice Ball on the rock she was sitting on. "Ice you silly thing!" she picked up her Spheal and placed it on the Icey rock. "Naughty!" she tried to scold it but couldn't help laughing.

After having a 'bunchful' of laughs she brang her Pokemon inside the Pokemon Center and then put her hand in her bag and took out some Pokemon food that she got from the Pokemon Center. "Here, you can have some food now."

Hanako smiled and then looked at all of the other people that were in the Pokemon Center.

[AngieKit]

Mim, as usual, was rather silent. Her thoughts were adrift with the cool air that occupied the PokeCenter, occupying what space expanded in her mind, only to bounce back to be thought upon again. Thankfully, Mim never really got bored. All she had to do was look at something, and thoughts would flood into her head if she allowed them.

And right now, her eyes were upon her Persian. The sleek, cat-like Pokemon was sitting upon her haunches, having been watching with bright eyes as the Taillow had been flying about, and soon came to settle upon the Trainer's shoulder. Her tail flicked.

Mim pushed her long, curly black hair over her right shoulder, kneeling down to set a light hand upon the Pokemon's back. Her voice was soft and quite lovely.

"Persian, we have talked about this.Taillow is not to be harmed." the Persian gave a nod to her graceful head, a purr resounding in understanding. When the Poochyena and her trainer came in, Persian's light purr faded away, tail flicking to the opposite side as her attention turned toward them.

Mim rolled her striking bright-blue eyes, straightening back up. There she resumed her position of leaning against the wall, her arms crossing. Her chocolate-brown skin gleamed gently in the given light of the PokeCenter, contrasting against her white tank top and baggy gray pants that clung both attractively and comfortably to her.

Mim's eyes strayed over across the Trainer's collected there, her arms crossing in a loose, comfortable fashion. She began to wonder what awaited them as they continued forward on their journey...

[Aorio]

There was a jiggle coming from my pack, that I carried everywhere I went. Curious, I took off my dark green, small backpack. It jiggled again. Cautiously, I unzipped it. Red, gleaming eyes were staring at me, as I finished unzipping it. I sighed and set it down. "Come here, bulbasaur!" I giggled. My bulbasaur climbed out of my back pack, tipping it over as she did so. But, strangely, she was taking me somewhere, because she didn't stay by my side, as usual.

'eh?' I thought. No matter how confusing it was, I followed the tiny creature to wherever she was leading me. Seeing as she was so tiny, I had to look down to see her, so I didn't realize what was ahead of me. Bulbasaur stopped and, almost tripping over her in the process, I stopped, too. I shook my head in confusion, and looked up. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. A cool breeze blew by my face, blowing my thin, dark brown hair in the way of my vision. I shook it out of my face.

Now that I could see more clearly, I saw a familiar figure, with sleek, curly black hair reaching her hips, and her blue eyes-- could it be, was it--
"Mim?!" I blurted out without thinking. My jaw dropped.

[Fateful]

Moona quietly walked along the town, seeming to just be wandering around town as if she was going no where inparticular. Her eevee, Star was running around her feet as she walked. Soon they both neared the Pokemon Center. Stopping at the door, Moona looked down at Star, who then climbed up her body and stood on her shoulder.

With a small sigh, Moona then entered the Pokemon Center, her long white hair swaying as she entered. Star suddenly jumped off of Moona's shoulder as if spring loaded. She landed gently on the ground and started running all over the place, sometimes crawling into small spaces as she explored. Staying where she was, Moona looked around carefully, her dark colored eyes looking at each person in the room.

Then she noticed that there were two benches. One was already taken by two trainers waiting for their pokemon to be healed while the other had a male trainer with a Taillow. Walking over and pulling Star out of an open cabinet, Moona silently walked over to the boy. "E-Excuse me, but is anyone sitting there?" She stammered motioning to the empty spot on the bench. Moona was trembling slightly, for she wasn't in the least bit social.

[Zelos]

Toren was so absorbed with his Taillow who had begun to hover around his body that he had barely noticed a girl come up to him and ask if anyone was sitting there. Toren gave her a smile and nodded.

"Nah, no one's sitting here. Feel free to sit down."

He smiled again and brought his gaze back to Taillow. The blue bird had screeched really loud when he had seen the Eevee. He had never, ever seen anything like it before. Maybe it's because they were so rare.

"Wow, an Eevee... Anyway, what's your name? I'm Toren, and this here is Subame."

Subame nodded. He then zoomed back to Toren's shoulder and nestled against his head. After a small low chirps, the Taillow settled down and closed its eyes.

[Fateful]

Moona gave him a faint smile and carefully sat down. Star jumped up into her lap and began to lightly purr. Smiling, Moona gently rubbed her head and looked over at Toren.

"M-Moona. My name is Moona. T-This here is Star."

She stammered avoiding his eyes compleately. Star just gave them a smile and curled into a small bundle of fur on Moona's lap. After a few breif moments Star was up and exploring again. Often getting stuck in tight soaces, yet always finding a way out. Moona's eyes followed her where ever she went just in case Star went where she wasn't suppossed to.

[Seifer]

Ryan sat down, as he was watching the others. He noticed that his Pokémon must be very hungry by now, Ryan hasn't even fed them yet. He let out Totodile and Houndour. Houndour began to run around in circles in the Pokémon Centre. He knew it wasn't a surprise, Houndour was very energetic.

Ryan began chasing Houndour to stop him, while everyone else was watching. Totodile just took a big yawn and his eyes began to close. Houndour carelessly ran over him. Ryan was slammed to the floor. Houndour didn't stop, he ran around and not even looking of where he was going, he bumped into a girl. Ryan stood up and quickly caught Houndour so he could put him back in his Pokéball. "That's enough out of you" he had said.

He looked at the girl who had fallen to the ground, it was Jen. He looked surprised and had nervously said, "Sorry about that Jen, I couldn't get a hold of Houndour."

[Aorio]

OOC: I'm going to assume I know Ryan too. ^^;
IC:
Still staring, amazed, at Mim, I hadn't noticed anything else going on. I hadn't noticed my Bulbasaur attempting to tug me out of the way, nor had I noticed a blurry figure on the other side of me. Not until the figure bumped into me.

Next thing I knew, I was down on the ground, with my palms scraped and bleeding slightly. Thinking it rude not to respond, I looked up at the figure. That's two people I had met again, today. "Oh-- hello, Ryan, and that's okay." At this I stared at my bloody palms with gritted teeth.

I pressed my palms against my clean pair of jeans I was wearing, and then got myself up to my feet. "Hey, do you know of a water fountain somewhere around here? i have to wash my hands off."

[Zelos]

Toren smiled and looked at Moona's Eevee as it started to explore around the Pokemon Center. He nodded at what Taillow had asked him. Apparently the bird wanted to follow after Star. After receiving an okay from Toren, the blue bird flapped its wings and took to the air after her.

As his Pokemon left, Toren shrugged his head and leaned back on the bench. He ruffled his own hair a little bit before glancing at the girl beside him.

"How long have you been with Star?"

[AngieKit]

Mim had been about to reply to Jen, but the second she opened her mouth, down Jen went. Mim looked at her hands, a slight frown coming to show on her lovely face. Gently placing her hands on Jen's shoulders, she stepped behind the girl and led Jen along to the girl's bathrooms.

Persian growled a bit at all the commotion, but seeing Ryan, she went and sat at his feet, looking up at him with a greeting smile.

In the bathroom, Mim helped Jen rinse her hands off. Bandages were applied, and Mim smiled at Jen, finally speaking.

"There you go. Are you alright now? I was too late to catch you as you fell. It's nice to see you again."

[Fateful]

Star was botling everywhere. She ran in between a boys legs and jumped over a girl who had fallen to the ground. The hyper espeon seemed to be enjoying herself as she darted between people and pokemon playfully.

"...A while now...."

Moona said softly. She kept her head down and eyes on the floor. Her hair glistened from the lights above her,and she shufled her feet a little bit as if nervous and unsure. Suddenly her head shot up, when she heard a crash. In her eyes was a look of dred and fear. Looking over, she sighed when she saw that Star had bumped into someone and sent there stuff crashing to the ground.

[Aorio]

As I looked at my now bandage-wrapped hands, I smiled. Looking back up at Mim with the same smile, I said, "Planning to be a doctor when you grow up?" as a way of thanking her. And then, out of the blue, I hugged her. Even through my bandaged hands I could feel her silky, smooth, absolutely perfect black hair. How I envied her, her personality made me sing, she was so beautiful, so perfect. I could only dream of being as beautiful as her.

I broke away, still smiling at her, staring straight into her blue eyes. They comforted me, made me feel safe. I had no clue what I would do if I had never met Mim....

[Zelos]

(Alright, finally time to get this started)

Being the hand-picked leader of Group #32 from Twilight City, Toren carried around a video communicator in his sack so that an assistant or Professor Cedar could talk with them, give them advice, or directions of where to go next. Toren was 17 and one of the oldest of the group, which was probably an influencing factor in the Professor's decision to make him the leader.

Speaking of which, his communicator was currently ringing.

Toren whippped it out of his pocket and flipped up the screen. An image of one of the assistants popped up. He finished scribbling something on a notepad and then looked up.

"Oh, yes, Toren...I'd like you to tell the rest of your group that your next destination will be Star Village. You'll have to pass through the Green Pass to get there. There will be some Pokmon along the path, so you can tell the others to feel free to catch them or just train their Pokemon. Call me while you're on the path just so that the Professor knows you're okay."

The aid nodded and ended the call. His image faded away from the screen and Toren stuffed it back in his bag. As Taillow returned and alighted on his shoulder, Toren stood up.

"Group #32, get over here!"

(Just so you know...that's you all....XD)

[Seifer]

I looked down on what was sitting on my feet, it was a Persian. I stared at it for a while and pet it gently. For some reason, I remembered it. I looked forward and could see Jen and Megs coming out of the washroom. "Huh? Oh, it's you Megs. So this is your Persian." I stared at Jen's hands. "Hey, did Megs bandage your hands? That sounds most likely. You'd make a great docter, Megs." I complimented her.

I heard someone calling out our group. "Come on you two, we have to go."

[Fateful]

Letting out a smal sigh, Moona stood up and stretched. She was surprisingly very flexable. Star slinked carefully over to Moona and climbed nimbly up to her shoulder. Cocking her small furry head to one side, Star stared at Toren for a few minutes. Then she yawned and looked around.

"W-What's the news you have for us?"

Moona asked quietly. Shuffling her feet again, she looked at Toren with her dark night-sky colored eyes.

[Zelos]

Toren looked arounder the Center, hoping to see everyone coming over. However, he did not. He figured that it'd probably take them a while, considering most of them were below his age and they were always the social ones. It would probably take them minutes just to end their conversation.

Toren listened to what Moona asked him and he glanced down at her smiling. She seemed to be around his age so she probably understood. The others were around 14 or 15, while they both were 17. Toren guessed that Professor Maple and her aides hadn't really considered that age diversities might be a problem.

"I'll tell everyone when they get over here. Which might be a while, you know how they are at those ages."

He said, sitting back down on the bench and laughing.

[Fateful]

Sighing yet again, Moona sat back down also. "Great." She muttered rolling her night-sky eyes slightly. Star smiled and jumped on to Toren's shoulder. She seemed to already be quite fond of him. Shaking her head, Moona stared back down at the ground like she usually did.

Star curled up on Toren's shoulder and began to purr. When she was curled up, she looked like a ball of fluff.

"Sorry about...Star. She is...friendly. Don't know where she got that from." Moona muttered to Toren.

[AngieKit]

(Aye, just to let you know, Ryan...Mim is a completley different character. She is not me in general. Same personality for the most part, yes. Her full name is Mimirian, which I should have put on my profile information. Not Mimix. XD! So yes, Mim is a completley different person from me...just to let you know.)


Mim smiled, taking toward her silent side again as she led Jen out of the bathroom. Ryan said something, and she looked over toward Toren and Moona. Toren, she knew, was their leader.

Persian purred at Ryan, but at Mim's appearance, walked over to her. Mim nodded at Ryan and Jen, then walked over to stand near Toren and Moona, leaning against the wall. She smiled softly at them, giving a nod to show she was ready to listen to whatever was needed to be said to Group #32.

[Zelos]

Toren stood up and took a couple steps, turning around so that he could face his group. He cleared his throat and began to speak. Talking to them didn't really bother him because when he had attended the Pokemon Academy he spent tons of times constantly talking in front of the entire class, which usually consisted of around 50 people.

"One of Professor Maple's aides just talked me and told me to tell all of you that our next destination will be Star Village, the location of the very first Gym. I won't be battling at any of the Gyms because...well..."

He reached into his sack and pulled out a small case. He flipped it open and showed it to the rest of them. Inside were 8, gleaming badges. The reason why he wouldn't battle with them is because he had already collected them all.

"To get to the village, we're going to have to go through the Green Pass. There will be lots of Pokemon there and some other trainers. Now, everyone does have experience in battling with Pokemon, right?"

[Sanctuary]

((OMG! I'm so sorry! I forgot I joined this Roleplay! I'm sorry...I completely forgot..dont' worry I read the posts before and half understand...))

Hanako smiled at her Pokemon. They were so full after their food, they looked kind of tired. She petted them but still kept looking around.
Before she had spotted the group that she was to travel with. The group was scattered around the Pokemon Center before, interacting with each other but now they were gone.

Hanako now looked even more closely than before. She was worried. "They won't leave me behind...would they?!"
Then finally she noticed them. It seemed the group leader was telling them something...and she was late! "Its not like me to be late! Oh no!"

She picked up her Pokemon in two hands and ran at full speed up to them. Ice began flapping its flippers at the sight of its owner. Even Shadow seemed to chuckle a bit. Hanako looked different...when she worried she always looked funny, well in her Pokemon's opinion.

When Hanako reached up to the group she replied panting, after running all the way from the other end of the Pokemon Center, "I'm so sorry! I'm late!"

Hanako bowed politely hoping to hear forgiveness...

[Aorio]

One second I was in the bathroom, the other I was listening to some dude brag about having eight badges. I rolled my eyes and shoved my hands in my pockets. My bulbasaur had been righe beside me all along. My shoulders were tired from carrying my heavy backpack around everywhere, so I took it off and placed it by Bulbasaur.

But putting all that weight on my bandaged hands wasn't such a good idea. They started stinging badly. I waved them around slightly as if fanning myself, but that didn't help much. The stinging did eventually fade, however.

[Zelos]

Toren looked around at the group. None of them really seemed to stick out, like they would be the 'oddball'. They all seemed just like happy-go-lucky trainers. Toren smiled, hoping that he wouldn't have problems with any of them.

"Well, if there aren't any questions, I think we'll just get going now. Taillow, let's go."

The bird, who had flown over to a bench and was harassing an old lady, chirped and swooped over, perching on Toren's shoulder.

Toren chuckled. His companion had always been the type to just had fun. He figured that his POkemon would mature a bit after it evolved into a Swellow, but when Toren asked him about it the blue bird just schook his head. He didn'twant to evolve This didn't really bother Toren much, he just guessed that he'd be stuck with a childish Pokemon forever. Taillow was Toren's veyr first Pokemon, so he pretty much let him do whatever he wanted as long as no one was hurt.

[Aorio]

I rolled my eyes. "Well, if there aren't any questions, I think we'll just get going now. Taillow, let's go," I mocked. And his Taillow didn't seem very mature, either, by the looks of it. "Oh, yeah, I'm sure you're as great as you say you are," I muttered sarcastically under my breath. "Your Taillow probably just stole the badges for you so you can go bragging on about them." I rolled my eyes again, putting my hands on my hips.

[Fateful]

Moona rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Great...Star Village. Whoopdie doodle do for us." She said sarcastically. Something crashed behind her and Moona nearly jumped out of her skin. Star came running past her, a vase stuck on her head. "God Star! Are you trying to give me a heart attack!?" Moona exclaimed angerly.

Star hung her head and silently walked over to her. She let out a small whine and curled in to a ball. Sighing and quickly looking behind her, Moona sat back down on the bench.

[Zelos]

Toren leaned against the wall and waited for everyone...And no one was coming. He shrugged, closing his eyes and sighing. Maybe he wasn't cut out to lead a group like this after all. When Professor Maple had first contacted him he had been pretty excited about it, but now he was having second doubts about it.

"What do you think, Taillow? You think we can do this?"

Toren whispered, looking up at his little companion who was still perched on his shoulder. Taillow chirped back happily, trying to reassure his trainer that everything would be fine. Toren smiled half-heartedly. If only it were that simple...

[AngieKit]

Mim was ready to go, but no one else had wanted to move. She looked to Jen, but did not respond. The way everyone was acting toward one another, doubts of age, leadership and the likes, they really wouldn't get anywhere. Persian looked up at Mim, and they exchanged a knowing glance.

"Well, I don't know about the rest of you--but we should respect our leader. He was assigned to us, and therefor, we should be at least greatful for what he is trying to do. Doubts sure won't lead the way."

Mim, with Persian at her heels, walked for the door that lead out of the Pokemon Center. There she exited, and stood in ever-patient wait.

[Aorio]

I twitched as I watched Mim leave. "I'm with her," I said, grabbing my backpack from the ground and following her out of the Pokemon Center. Bulbasaur had disappeared into my backpack. I set it down again and leaned against the wall patiently, smiling at Mim.

I guessed I was going to have to get used to our leader, no matter how much I disliked him already. "Hey, Mim, where did Ryan go? Is he still over there with the rest of the group?" I asked suddenly, noticing Ryan wasn't anywhere in sight.

[Fateful]

Pulling the vase off Star's head and setting it down on the table, Moona walked over to Toren. "When do you think we'll be leaving?" She asked, always avoiding his gaze. Earlier she had seemed calm and relaxed, but now she was nervous and ready to leave as soon as possible. Star trotted over to them and jumped up on to Moona's shoulder. The little eevee cocked her head to one side and looked curiously at Toren.

Moona glanced out the window, as if expecting to see someone. There was no one there...luckily.

[Zelos]

"As soon as everyone gets over here."

Toren muttered, opening one eye to glance at Moona. He shrugged and closed the eye again. A couple people had come over, but mostly because one of the girls had decided to do so. She seemed to be the one that everyone followed. Toren might have to ask her how she did that later.

Taillow pushed off from Toren's shoulder and flew out the door as soon as someone opened it. He flew up into the air, spinning as he did so. Once getting up so high that be just looked like a small dot, he flew back down at top speed. Right when he was about to slam on to the ground, he turned up and sped forward without once getting hurt.

[AngieKit]

"I do not know," Mim answered simply, watching the Taillow in its energetic display. It made her smile a bit. A soft breeze began to sweep around, carressing her long black locks. If Ryan felt like dissapearing, well...that was his choice. It was interesting, being pretty much right in the middle when it came to age. She was sixteen, but seemed to have the cool and collected head of someone older. It didn't bother her, though. She pretty much got along with older age groups and younger. So this expedition with these people did not bother her at all.

Persian's eyes trailed after the bird Pokemon, tail twitching. Mim glanced down at Persian, and gave a soft sigh. Cats.

[Fateful]

Moona sighed and nodded. "Understood." She muttered, seeming even more anxious to leave now. Then she strode over to the window and stared out of it. Her eyes had a gentle, calm look in them as she stared out at the sky, then around the town. Star walked over to her, a worried look on her face. Moona glanced down, then shook her head. Nodding, Star walked back over to Toren and curled up on his feet. She seemed quite fond of Toren.

I can't believe we have to wait for the others! They just take so long it's rediculous! Toren is fine, but some of the others just really get on my nerves!
Moona thought to herself. She sighed yet again and shook her head.

[Zelos]

Toren smiled and bent down on the floor, extending his arm out and scratching Star behind her ears. After a couple seconds, he glanced up at Moona, who didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

"You know, Star seems to be quite happy...I'm sure she'll evolve soon, that is, if you plan on evolving her into an Espeon or an Umbreon. Which one of the five are you thinking about, if at all?"

Toren asked Moona, standing back up and glancing at her. She was staring out of a window, and Toren was wondering if he had interruped her thinking or whatever. (XD)

[Fateful]

"Huh? Of. I'm planning on evolving her into an Espeon. I love psychic and dark pokemon, but I think Star would be better as an espeon than an umbreon." Moona said, turning around to face Toren. She smiled slightly at Toren, then at Star. She was glad that they were getting along. Moona felt a little uneasy talking to toren so friendly like...she wasn't normally like this at all.

Star purred as Toren scratched behind her ear. She rubbed her head gently against Toren's leg happily. Moona sighed and rolled her eyes.

[AngieKit]

(Weeeeell...kinda slow motion here....I say we move on. Those who are dedicated to this role play will be the ones posting. By joining, everyone here has pretty much signed themselves in this role of dedication. If they are not posting, whether or not they have 'forgotten' or something else, the show must go on for those of who are still interested in it. Just my thoughts, to be ignored or thought upon, your choice. ^^)


Mim leaned against the wall near the door, still outside. Her fair eyes would close, enjoying the soft breeze. The calm before the storm, perhaps? One never really knew, unless you were on of those paranoid people who lived solemly on their gut feelings. She wasn't one of them--though it was still good to question any feelings you were recieving.

So far, no one in the group disliked her--hopefully. And Mim had no problem with any of them, either. But the current lack of action made her want to curl up in the sun and take a nap. Like Persian, who was now curled up at her feet, finally bored with the bird Pokemon. Her patience was still in place, and would still be, even if they decided to lag around for another day. Not that she minded, but it would get dark sooner or latter, and some of the younger ones may not like walking in the dark with random Pokemon jumping out at them.

Well, whatever the case, she felt ready.

[Zelos]

(I totally agree with you. If Roy and MM aren't posting...then they've either forgotten or don't want to post. In any case, we've waited long enough.)

"I guess it's time to get going. Those other two can catch up if they so desire."

Toren pushed off from the wall, and headed towards the wall, pushing it open and stepping into the bright sun. His body was bathed in sunlight, and Toren blinked several times to get used to it. Inside the center it had been well lit, but now it was just very bright.

Taillow, upon seeing Toren exit the Pokemon Center, swooped down and perched on his shoulder. He looked around like a spy, hoping to see something that he could do. He couldn't rest with Toren for very long before he grew very bored.

Toren spotted Mim and Jen standing near each other, and he quickly headed over to inform them of his decision. He didn't really like having to leave two members of their group at the Center, but if they weren't coming then he didn't plan to stay there with them.

"Umm... We're leaving now. Sorry for the long wait. I noticed you talking to one of the boys inside the Center...and if you want him to come along, then I suggest that you get him out here very soon."

Toren smiled slightly and turned around, walking a bit away from the Center, then turning back to wait for Jen, Mim, Moona, and anyone else that might decide to join them.

[Aorio]

As Toren approached Mem and I, I put on my sweetest look possible, standing up straight and putting my arms behind my back. Why? ..I didn't really know.... "I'll go get him," I said softly, raising my hand. I then hurried inside the Pokemon Center to try to find Ryan. After glancing around the pokemon center, I saw him, just... standing there. "Hey, Ryan! We're leaving now! Don't get left behind!" I said in a voice not too much louder than my regular talking voice.

I hurried over to him. "Let's go," I said in a whisper. I grabbed his hand and led him outside the pokemon center, not letting him see I was blushing.

[AngieKit]

Mim smiled as Toren approached, approving of his decision and excepting his appology with a nod. As she nudged Persian awake, she watched Jen bounding back to the Pokemon Center. Picking up her sleepy Persian, she walked over to join Toren, feeling a flash of excitement zipping through her veins.

Finally, they were about to head out on their adventure! Persian must have felt her excitement, for she purred and slithered out of Mim's arms to come and stand by her side, looking longily to where they would be heading.

Mim gave Toren another smile, then looked over her shoulder to see Jen pulling Ryan out of the Pokemon Center. Wonder why he had hesitated to come? There really wasn't all that much to be afraid of, if they put their trust in eachother and Pokemon...

[Zelos]

OOC: Umm.. what? What are you talking about? Anyway, please don't spam in my role-play.
