Wild Pokemon--Island Legends

[Ninetales]

Ahh, the Lost Islands. This was a group of four islands in the middle of nowhere. For thousands of years, no explorers or such ever found this place, so only Pokemon inhabited the island. But the Pokemon were happy there anyways, secured by their families and protected by the three legendary Pokemon that watched over them.

Tidal Island--This was the main island of the group. Strange though, as it was also the smallest. The reason why it was so important was because this was where the three legendary Pokemon met. All the island really contained was a small cave in the center.

Volca Island--Ruled over by the legendary Pokemon Isix (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/qingrila/pokems/isix.gif). This was a paradise for Fire and Rock-type Pokemon, as well as many others that liked a warmer environment. It had an active volcano on it, and many Pokemon lived either on the volcano or around it in scattered wooden areas.

Silphy Island--Ruled over by the legendary Pokemon Lustre (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/qingrila/pokems/lustre.gif). This was a lush, green island consisting of a meadow surrounded by a forest. Lots of tasty, rare berries grew here, and Grass Pokemon just loved it. A group of Alakazam also lived here to aid Lustre in transportation.

Doma Island--Ruled over by the legendary Pokemon Shakahani (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/qingrila/pokems/shakahani.gif). This island had a giant crater in it that was filled with water, so the result was a ring of land around a giant sea open to the ocean. Various caves dotted the sides of the crater, and Water Pokemon called it a wonderful home.

All was peaceful for a long time. That is, until a Pokemon Watcher named Tracey docked in Tidal Island. (Remember him, from season 2 of the anime?) This visit didn't spark much conflict, as Tracey was just awe-inspired by the sight of the three legendary Pokemon. Also he made sketches of the three legendaries, some other Pokemon, and the other islands. Anyways, when he was done with all that, he sailed all the way back to Kanto, where he showed Professor Oak the sketches he had made of these islands. Professor Oak really seemed interested in these islands--how wonderful was a world where Pokemon could live in peace! So Professor Oak decided not to let anyone else know about the islands in case anyone wanted to disrupt the balance there. He was not one to intend harm.

Unfortunately, a Wobbuffet was standing right near where Oak and Tracey were talking about the Lost Islands. Even more unfortunately, this Wobbuffet happened to belong to Jessie of Team Rocket! So Wobbuffet told Jessie about the islands, and Jessie told her partner James, and both of them decided to tell their boss. So off they went to tell Giovanni. Giovanni was inspired by the place Jessie and James told of, and when he sent some troops to look for the place, he was so impressed that he gave the two previously overlooked Rockets a promotion, sending them as commanders of the mission to capture the three legendary Pokemon of the Lost Islands. More troops also backed them up.

Not too long afterward, the fateful day came. Jessie and James, with the help of other Rockets that wanted to accompany them (including Butch and Cassidy, if you're interested), arrived in Tidal Island. The Rockets set out towards the other islands while Jessie and James stayed in Tidal Island to watch for the legendary Pokemon. The two leaders also told the other members to steal as many other Pokemon as they wanted--it was a thievery free-for-all. So they went on their way.

Fortunately, just before the Rockets docked in Tidal Island, Isix, Lustre, and Shakahani hid in the other three islands. Now, the Rockets are in hot pursuit of the three legendary Pokemon, catching other Pokemon along their way. For the first time ever, the Lost Islands are in trouble. Will the three legendary Pokemon get captured by Team Rocket? Are the citizens of these islands prepared to face such a crisis? What will become if these islands in the near future?

This fate rests with a group of curious Pokemon from all of the islands that wish to find more about Team Rocket's plans, escape their evils, and maybe even try to save the goddess-like legendaries. And they, my friends, would be you, the people who sign up for this RPG.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So basically, you're a wild Pokemon. Sorry, no trainers are allowed in this RPG, as only Team Rocket has heard of the Lost Islands.

Characters I will be playing in this RPG:

Isix
Lustre
Shakahani
Jessie
James
And a wild Pokemon.

Rules and Notes:

-You can bunny other characters, but please look at the character's sign up (especially personality) and last post before doing so. And don't hurt other characters that are not yours.
-However, you CANNOT control Jessie, James, or the legendary Pokemon unless I say otherwise. (You can bunny my wild Pokemon though.)
-You may create NPCs such as other wild Pokemon or Team Rocket members at any time in the RPG.
-If you are in a battle with a character you don't own or is not an NPC for whatever reason, you cannot control the character you are battling at all.
-You may join at anytime--LSU's are accepted. You may even work alone if you want.
-You can create multiple characters, but no more than three.
-You don't have to join the group--you can work alone or form your separate group to work with.
-When you post, please abide by the rules--I don't want this thread closed because of shorter-than-four-lines or unreadable posts.
-When your character talks, you don't have to put the familiar triangular brackets around the dialogue to indicate Pokemon talk--that is just a waste of time since we're all Pokemon anyways. We can understand each other.

Sign-up Sheet:

Name: Pretty self-explanatory.
Species: What kind of Pokemon are you? I hate to say this, but you can't be a made-up Pokemon, and you can't be legendary... But other than that, you can be any Pokemon you want.
Gender: If applicable.
Home: Which island are you from: Volca Island, Silphy Island, or Doma Island?
Appearance: You can look just like a normal (insert species here), or you can give yourself different colours or features. Just don't look too unlike the Pokemon you are. You can even be shiny if you want!
Personality: Pretty self-explanatory, but don't just list a few words.
RP Post: The purpose of this is to show how you RP, but more importantly, it shows where your character is at the beginning of the RPG, and what it is doing. So therefore it doesn't have to be very long--a paragraph is fine so long as it's four lines.

**So basically that means that the RPG is starting now. You don't have to wait for more people to sign up to post a second time, because anyone can sign up at any time! However, I can ban you from the RPG if you lack post quality or abuse other members.

My Signup:

Name: Pocchi
Species: Pocchama
Gender: Female
Home: Volca Island, believe it or not
Appearance: Pocchi is about the same size and appearance as a normal Pocchama. However, she also has a few feathers sticking up out of her head, and a purple bowtie tied around those feathers. Also, she is light purple in colour instead of blue, and she looks as if she put pink blush on her cheeks.
Personality: Pocchi is sweet, friendly, and generally kind. She's good at being polite and offering hospitality to those who are needy, and generally her outlook on things is bright. But this doesn't mean she's ignorant of the dark side of life, and it also doesn't mean she's a scaredy-penguin. Pocchi might be afraid of pain and getting injured, but not of "milder" things like death or ghosts, or even spiders. Also, she often "accidentally" gets attached to these obscure things, especially with the weird friends she has. Speaking of weird, Pocchi generally respects weird Pokemon, no matter how weird they are. Anyways, Pocchi is also very respectful to the "legendary goddess Pokemon" of the Lost Islands.

RP Post:

Ahhh, warm, massaging pools of water. Pocchi sat in one small such pool, amongst a hill made of lava rocks. She loved the warmth of the waters here, heated by the lava flowing underneath this water but not too much heat. The refreshing touch of surrounding steam, the musky scent of charcoal... it comforted little Pocchi to the point where she couldn't help but smile, and her cheeks became all the more rosy. When her cheeks did this, it was a sure sign of contentment, just like a cat's purr.

Little Pocchi felt to good that she felt like she could sing.
"Warm warm warm, I feel so very warm
With this feeling, how could there be harm?
Dream dream dream, this is just like a dream come true
Holy waters, here with you..."
And sing Pocchi did. There was even a fleeting moment where she thought she saw a streak of sunset-coloured flame pass by overhead, but maybe this was just her imagination...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Note: I might decide to play another wild Pokemon as well, but if I do, she won't appear until later on... Pocchi will be fine for now. Until then, now it's your turn!

[Kaishen]

Name: Flare
Species: Arcanine
Gender: Male
Home: Volca Island
Appearance: Instead of orange and black, Flare is White and Black
Personality: Flare is a very gentle Arcanine if you don't get on his bad side. He will help a fellow Pokemon in need and is seen as one of the leaders of Volca Island


Name: Blu
Species: Growlithe
Gender: Female
Home: Volca Island
Appearance: Blu is a dark blue color instead of orange
Personality: A young Growlithe, she is Flare's little daughter. She aspires to be just like her father and grow up to be big and strong. She is a bit of a "fraidy-cat" as ironic as it may seem.



RP Post

Such a nice day... but I feel something is gonna happen. Flare thought to himself laying on a rock, observing all the fire pokemon playing around in lava pools or hotsprings. Down below he notices Pocchi down below relaxing in a hotspring. All he does is smile, as Blu walks up to him.
<Hey papa, whatcha thinkin' 'bout?> She asked him, poking her nose to his.
<Just how what a good day it is... but I feel that something's going to happen> he answered her.
<Oh... you've been really down in the dumps lately papa> she stated, bluntly.
<I have? Oh, I guess I haven't realized Blu> he said. <Why don't you go find Pocchi. She might want some company>
<Okay papa!> Blu said, jumping down onto rocks, and then to the ground. After about 10 minutes of searching, she found the lite purple penguin. Quietly, she sneaks up behind the penguin, who was lounging around in a pool of hot water.
<HI POCCHI!> Blu yelled from right behind the penguin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: And < blah blah blah > is the pokemon talking

[Blizzard]

Name: Avanarti
Species: Quilava
Gender: Male
Home: Volca Island
Appearance: Avanarti is a pure cerulean Quilava, with the exception of three foamy white spots forming a triangle between his baby-blue eyes
Personality: Avanarti was born a Cyndaquil, to a noble and brave Typhlosion father, Requila, and a gentle and loving Quilava mother, Estrella. He shows both sides of his heritage in his behaviors, as, though he is soft in his approaches, he bites you in the end, fiercer than you could ever imagine from a "sweetie" like him.
But he acts tough sometimes, pushing help away and ignoring the joys in the world. Deep down, though, when you're his friend, toughness is not an issue.

RP Post:

Stupid Quilava, I thought to myself, stopping as I saw the Arcanine, Growlithe, and Pocchama to my left. I padded over to them quietly, my ears twitching slightly with each step I took on the warm rocks. That Ninetales back there really let you have it good. You're not that strong yet, you fiery ferret...

"Oh," I remarked, casually. "Good, I made it..."

I shook my head, knowing I wasn't in the mood for this crud after getting beat up by that multi-tailed fox. Easy, Avanarti, I told myself, You're pushing yourself much too hard again.

"Great," I said gruffly. "Are we having a party? So where are the streamers? And what's a streamer anyway? Who's having a birthday?"

Dummy, I thought. That's not how you introduce yourself.

"Uh..." I stuttered, "Oh yes. How rude; I'm sorry. My name is Avanarti," I continued. "It's uh, good to see new faces, or something like that... who are y'all?"

[Phani]

Name: Chishio

Species: Dragonair

Gender: Female

Home: Doma Island

Appearance: Chishio is a young Dragonair who has just recently evolved. Because of her late evolution, many of her features are young and bright. Her horn is short and her coat is a pleasant blue. The three pearls decorating her body are also bright and of a dark sapphire colour.

Personality: Chishio is very quiet and does not like loud noises or being disturbed often. She tends to avoid confrontations and large crowds as she is most uncomfortable in those situations.
She becomes most relaxed when within a close group of friends or family or when she is alone.
Chishio is generally very kind and caring but can also become quickly irritated when provoked. She will do what she can to avoid most confrontations but will also fight if necessary. She is confident in her abilities as a Dragonair and as a Pokemon. Fortunately, she has never had to use her abilities forcefully.

RP Post: Chishio laid quietly upon the outer shore of Doma Island’s beach, undisturbed by the familiar noises that ascended from the island’s centre. She had been resting for a number of days on the same shoreline surrounding the island. The cratered beach within the island’s centre was becoming crowded and Chishio was not one who would become involved in others’ affairs. Preferring the quiet nature of Doma Island’s outer shore, Chishio now laid curled upon its golden sand.

OOC: I'm not sure if Dragonair is considered legendary but if it is tell me and I'll edit it. Sorry bout the short starter but I'm just kinda waiting to see what happens before I write more.

[Forsaken]

Name:Kory
Species:Korinku
Gender:Male
Home:Silphy island
Appearance:Kory is the regular color of a korinku except, his tail has a little green spot on the edge.
Personality:Kory is very energetic and outgoing, he likes to go venturing out into new places, meet new people, and make new friends. Kory is very polite and has a good attitude although at times he can get very frustrated and flip out into a temper. He doesn't like to fight much and will mostly hide, but if he is forced to fight, he won't hold back. He always protects and stands up for his friends. Eventhough he is very active and energetic, if he ever gets a nap, he doesn't want to be bothered at all.

Name:Ruku
Species:Rukushio
Gender:Male
Home:Silphy island
Appearance:Ruku is the regular form and color of a rukushio, nothing special.
Personality:Ruku is very brave and will always be the first to raise his hand to an answer, or even the first one to step into a fight. He usually gets into many fights because of his smart mouth that he has but every now and then he has his moments where he is nicer. Ruku is very protective for his brother mostly because their father died a couple years ago.

RP POST
"Where are those berries I saw yesterday, I could have sworn they were right here."
Kory thought to himself while he had his head stuck in the grass of a beautiful green meadow, which happened to be surrounded by a huge forest. As Kory searched around for berries which he was getting for him and his brother Ruku, who happened to also be looking for food. "I hope Kory didn't go too far from the house, I know how venturous he is." Thought Ruku as he jumped from tree to tree looking for some berries. As Ruku jumped from one tree to the next, he came across a very red Berrie that seemed to be very juicy. He looked around and noticed four of the red berries. "This is good, two for the both of us and even enough for seconds." Ruku then started using his Iron tail to cut down the red berries from the tree's. "One, two, three, four, ok I think that is good enough for now." Just then, Ruku heard a scream that he knew was Kory. "Hold bro, i'm coming." Ruku then quickly jumped tree to tree looking for his brother. Then as he came to a meadow, he saw Kory shaking. As Ruku walked up to Kory he asked. "Are you ok Kory?" Kory turned around to look at Ruku and said. "Oh thank goodness your here, I saw something move in the grass." Kory then pointed his paw over to a patch on the meadow. As Ruku walked over to see what it was, he turned around and faced Kory with a disappointed look. "It's a caterpie." Said Ruku as he walked over to Kory and pushed him over. "Sorry, but it looked scary when I saw it." Said Kory as he got back up. "Come on, lets get home." Said Ruku while jumping into a very huge branch on a big tree that would be a very good place to build a human house. Ruku got the four berries and places two in front of Kory and two in front of himself. "Ok, lets eat." Said Kory while taking chomps out of the Berrie.

[Miss Kaeldra]

I hope you do not mind if I interact with your character, Ninetails. ^^

Name: Jolteon/Jolt (Nothing fancy here)

Species: Jolteon

Gender: Female

Home: Volca Island

Appearance: Just like any other Jolteon, accept for the slight limp she always has from an old injury.

Personality: Jolt is a calm, nice fellow--she couldn't harm a Butterfree! Usually silent, unless aroused to say something. She does not like to fight the other Pokemon, but if attacked, she'll turn the other cheeck and let them leave if they wish.

RP Post:

"Warm warm warm, I feel so very warm
With this feeling, how could there be harm?
Dream dream dream, this is just like a dream come true
Holy waters, here with you..."

Jolteon's ear pricked up at the singing, a smile coming into play. She was gently roused from her peaceful dreams, black eyes slowly opening.

Volca Island happened to be her favorite of the three--it was nice and warm, something that pleased her to no end. It may have been odd, to see this Jolteon here on Volca...but it comforted her and her injury. She was generally shy of the cold, for it tended to worsen her front right leg.

Laying not too far away from Pocchi, Jolteon watched, and felt herself become more cheerful. With a mighty stretch of the front and back legs, Jolt padded over to a small, warm pool near Pocchi's, slightly limping. Settling down before the pool, Jolteon carefully stuck her front right leg into it, and sighed quietly in bliss. After a moment, she looked to Pocchi and smiled her greeting.

[Blaziken_Boy]

Name: Jamison
Species:Torchic
Gender:Male
Home:Volca Isle.
Appearance:Kind of off-color, not enough to be pure shiny, but enough to not be normal. He has a bit more fur, but it's also soft.
Personality:Lax. He can't take control of a situation, unless it involves going into a tiny hole. He still can be a valuable partner, but leader, no.



RP Post: Jamison wandered around Volca Island absentmindedly. He kept walking, and without knowing, fell beak-first into a hot spring near some lava rocks. Jamison intstantly kicked around madly, disturbing the water badly.
"Cabnbgn't sgngwgnim!" he gurgled. He meant to say something like "Can't swim!". Although he couldn't, he was able to get his beak caught on a lava rock. That, though, was still bad, since the rocks were still blazing hot, causing him to release his beak.
He touched bottom.
He could breathe.
"Phew, it's small. Wow, that was pretty dumb. Well, at least nobody...saw...me....." Jamison was embarassed when he saw a Pochama and Jolteon staring at him like he was a pink chicken.
"Er, hello?" He was able to say. He was embarassed.

[pokehunter56]

Name: Boko
Species: Scyther
Gender: Male.
Home: Silphy Island
Appearance: Boko looks very much like other scythers, except for the scar over his right eye, and his right blade is jagaed due to an accident he had as a child.
Personality: Boko is very tolerent of other speicies of pokemon which is uncommon for a scyther. he has a very mild temper, he makes friends easily, and is very loyal.
RP Post: Boko sat on the tree branch, watching the other pokemon roam around looking for food, friends or what not. as he watched the others, he remebered he had to meet with one of his clan members. this woould take him only a short time. he made his way down the tree he had been siting on, once on the ground he headed north towards the cave his clan of Scythers called home. As he walked on the forest got calmer and quieter, this started to set off some red flags. this was the wild, its neve this quiet. he continued to walk when it happened a trainer jumped out from behind a bush. Boko wan't going to be caught, so he kicked up some dirt and leaves that where on the ground and headed to a secure hiding place he had once used before.

[Blizzard]

((OOC: Tracey Sketchit? 'Course I remember him! Also from Pokemon: The Movie 2000.))

Man, there's a crowd here... I thought, looking at all the new faces and bodies around him. That Jolteon looks pretty cute... poor thing's got that limp. I wonder which of those Team Rocket bastards gave her that injury...

I padded quietly over to Jolteon, raising my head lightly and giving a warm, comforting smile. "Hi there," I said smoothly. "I'm Avanarti. I don't believe we've met before."

God, here you go again, you weasel. Can't you act normal for a change?

"Um, anyway, that Pocchama sure can sing, yea? I can't, though; don't bother asking. Ever. At all."

Don't say anything about that leg, you pyroid ferret... Stupid Quilava.

"Hey! You, the Pocchama!" I growled. "Uh, hi."

Numbskull, I said to myself. Can't you act decent around the ladies? You'll never get a female if you keep this up...

"Um, My name is Avanarti, um... who are you, and HOW are you?"

[Kaishen]

Blu sat there, Pocchi jumping up from her yelling. Then everyone came up, talking solely to the penguin, completely ignoring her. Blu hangs her head down and sighs. No one notices me... she thought, sitting on her haunches and frowning.
~~~
Flare looks down at the pokemon gathered around Pocchi and smiles.

[Blizzard]

Look around you, you stupid ferret, I thought. That Growlithe looks really lonely. She must be a load on her Father, like I was on my Mum.

{I flashed back to a time, nine seasons ago, when I was still a kit, so to speak. There they were, my Quilava Mum and my Typhlosion Father. Mum was so gentle; nurturing and caring in every way. It almost bored me, that she was so predictable and sweet. I love my Mum, even though now the Rockets did some 'labby work' or whatever, and, from what the last invaders said, now she's either dead or genetically inside some "human", or something. Estrella was her name; she said it was foreign for 'star;' I guess I can't doubt her, seeing as her trust had no barriers, ever.

Father. A towering, forceful Typhlosion. He told me that when I was still an Egg, Rockets tried to steal me. He was still a Quilava, and he said he evolved so he could smash them and get their carcasses off our islands. I can still see the images of his corpse; they snapped him with three harpoons. I always thought those were for Water Pokemon...

Yep, that's his corpse, a towering mass, with three harpoon wounds: one to the head, two to the forelegs. I vowed I would never evolve that far, seeing as those Team Rocket jerks always go for the strong ones. If I looked too tough, they would steal me away for sure. I think I'm doomed already, 'cause I cried for my Mum once. I thought I was speaking Pokemon, but the "humans" understood me. They were like, "Oh my God! Get that one; he speaks English! Boss will pay a hefty price for this one."

I ran and ran, and finally I got away; either that, or they got tired of chasing me. There I was, a tiny Cyndaquil, five seasons old. Orphaned, lonely, tired, and clueless to the world. Jerks.}

I shook my head quickly, getting back to the "real world." I padded over to the Growlithe, turning my mouth up to a half-smile. "Hi," I said sadly, "I'm Avanarti. What's your name, young pup?"

[pinecone570]

sounds like fun. i've been wanting to do an RP(whys that sound right,when its improper grammer?) where your a pokemon not a trainer. one question: whats an LSU(once again, sounds right, but it isnt.)

Name: Mikey
Species: Phanpy
Gender: Male
Home: Shilpy Island
Appearance:Mikey looks like a normal Phanpy, except is a bit bigger and is shiny.
Personality: Mikey is a very playful pokemon. He is very loyal to his friends, and is quite over protective. He is very curious, and often asks the lengendaries for help. He enjoys playing tricks on other pokemon, especially on his best friend, Bulby, by using his very good digging skills.

Name: Bulby
Species: Bulbasaur
Gender: Male
Home: Shilpy Island
Appearance:Bulby is a shiny bulbasaur, except his bulb is dark blue instead of dark green, and is vines stretch longer than the normal Bulbasaur.
Personality: Bulby is a quiet pokemon; he prefers to be alone. However, he will normally be seen with his best friend, Mikey. He always helps those in trouble, using his extra long vines to help people up hills, or get food high up in trees. Though he is a quite high level, he has chosen not to evolve. He is very confrontational, and has a short fuse.

RP Post:"Just a little bit further, just a little bit!" Mikey said to himself quietly, munching on a berry. Bulby was only a few feet from Mikey's latest trap. Just as Bulby was about to fall into the trap, he used his vines to jump over the hole.
"Spoil sport." Mikey said, emerging from the bushes.
"Your to obvious with your traps; it doesnt work when i've fallen into about a hundred last week." Bulby responded. They both walked towards the beach, to relax in the water. They reached the beach, and Bulby took a little swin while Mikey soaked his feet, still eating the same berry. Out of the corner of his eye, Mikey noticed a weird shape moving a little way down the beach.
"Whats that Bulby, can you recognize it?" Mikey asked.
"It looks like, but it cant be, it looks like a human." Bulby said.
"Uh-oh, that cant be good"

[Forsaken]

"Hey, big bro, i'm going out." Said Kory while jumping off the big tree branch onto the grass. Ruku, fallowed. "How can I be sure you will be ok? I hear that there are some dangerous people out here." "I'll be fine, and if they do come after me, i'll just outrun them." Replied Kory. "I guess so, just be carefull...and don't play with anything that looks like silk, it might be a decoy." "Oook." Said Kory with an irritated voice. As Kory ventured out into the forest he came closer to the beach and noticed a couple of Pokémon looking at something. Kory walked up to them. "Hey what are you guys looking at?" Kory looked over to the direction they were looking. "A..a...HUMAN! Whats a human doing here?" Yelled Kory. "Why is a human here and why does it look like he is looking for something, is he going to try to steal us?" Said Kory with a terrified look on his face. "Where's my brother when you need him?"

[Phani]

Opening her oval eyes, Chishio stretched herself up as she awoke from her sleep. Due to her recent evolution, she has become much more tired and careless. She was not used to her now longer and lighter body. Her newfound ability to fly was also causing her some trouble.
Hmm, why am I so tired? she groaned as she begun lifting herself into the air, her wings beating furiously. And I can’t seem to get a hang of this flying thing either…
Heaving a sigh, the young Dragonair began hovering towards the centre of the island, leaving her peaceful retreat behind.

Struggling under her weight, Chishio finally came to rest at a small spring within the island’s north forest. She had been hovering for several metres before realising that she was exhausted. The spring she had stumbled across appeared to be the perfect place to relax.
The trees surrounding the spring stood high against the open sunlight. Shade covered the high ground where the young Dragonair now laid. The view from the clearing also overlooked the east coast of Volca Island.
After satisfying her thirst from the spring, Chishio slowly hovered towards the edge of the clearing and peered over the cliff. From her position she could easily see further inland from Volca Island’s east shoreline where a number of hot springs could be seen.
Huh? she thought as she spotted something across the neighbouring island. Looks like a group of Pokemon. The curious dragon Pokemon carefully hovered towards the cliff’s edge to analyse the site further. Wow, look at all those Pokemon. Hmm, there’s a Jolteon, and a Quilava, and a…a Pocchama?
A number of other Pokemon were also congregating around the site and Chishio soon found herself being drawn into the prospect of all these different Pokemon getting together. I wonder what’s going on…

OOC: I think LSU is Late Sign-up? I dunno...

[Ninetales]

OOC: Wow, this RPG's more popular than I thought it would be... And there's only one Pokemon here from Doma Island...? (And six from Volca, and five from Silphy.)

Toomi: Dragonair isn't legendary. You're fine.
Pokehunter56: Please eliminate the part about encountering the trainer. There are no trainers in the Lost Islands. The only people there are in Team Rocket.
Kaishen: A paragraph is four lines of text--three squiggly lines doesn't count as a line. Sorry for mini-modding, but...

IC:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--Volca Island--

"Hello, hello," Pocchi greeted, surprised at how much attention she had gotten. She casually bowed to the Jolteon and Quilava next to her, the Growlithe calling out to her, the Arcanine that was watching from afar, and the Torchic and Dragonair who had just arrived.
"Oh hello there," Pocchi said to the Jolteon. "These hot springs are nice, aren't they? Nice and relaxing... really wants to make you sing. Oh, and did any of you see Isix fly overhead a second ago?"
The group of Pokemon fell silent.
"I don't know, it could have been my imagination..." Pocchi muttered as she climbed out of the pool and shook herself dry. "Anyways, I've just been thinking about Isix, and Lustre and Shakahani as well. I don't know if it's just me, but they've been looking kind of troubled... Anyone think they know why?"
Pocchi awaited a response to this question. But secretly, she did have something in mind for the group...

--Silphy Island--

The human the Pokemon on the beach saw was wearing a white Team Rocket uniform--strange, aren't most of those uniforms black?--and he had blue hair. It was James, the "executive" of Team Rocket's Lost Islands sector!

James was walking around on the beach, apparently looking for something. Then he raised his eyebrows as he turned towards the trees. He walked over to them--towards the exact spot where the three Pokemon were hiding.
<"Oh no..."> the Korinku whispered. <"Come on you guys, duck!">

"Ah, there you are!" James exclaimed. He reached down, towards the spot where the Pokemon were... and picked up an armful of sticks. The Pokemon in hiding sighed with relief as James happily walked away with the sticks.

"Hello Jessie, I got the firewood you requested!" James greeted when he reached the camp he and Jessie had set up further along on the beach. Jessie was sitting next to her Wobbuffet and looking like she was deep in thought. Seviper, Cacnea, Chimecho, and Mime Jr. were gathered around the area. But the second James arrived, Cacnea smiled and jumped up to hug him. Startled, James cried out and dropped the sticks he was holding.
"Not now, Cacnea... ouch, ouch..."
"Eh, it's always the same with that pincushion, even after this promotion we received..." Jessie's face lit up temporarily when she said the word "promotion".
"Cacnea is not a pincushion!" James exclaimed. "He's my darling little Cacnea..." At this point, James was sitting up and patting Cacnea on the head, careful to avoid any needles.
"Oh, whatever," Jessie concluded. "So, what's our plan next?"
"Well, phase one is complete--I think. I hope Meowth's doing all right out there on Tidal Island. I think we should relax for now--just wait until Meowth comes back."
"Inspector to commander," said a voice on a portable radio Jessie was holding.
"Commander to inspector, coming?" Jessie answered.
"Commander, this is Agent Jester, reporting from Doma Island. Breakthrough! I just spotted a Dragonair here! It was curled up asleep on the beach--but by the time I got closer, it flew off into the forest..."
"Well then, be a little more careful when trying to catch it!" Jessie said into the radio as she pressed a button to turn the signal off.

Jessie got up and grabbed James by the collar.
"No, I think we should use our time constructively! We are on Silphy Island, where there's plenty of Pokemon to steal! And, there might be rare ones like the Dragonair Jester mentioned! This is a big promotion we got, so we better not mess this plan up if we are to really rise to the top!"

Jessie pulled James to his feet and faced the ocean.
"Prepare for trouble!" Jessie announced.
"And make it double!" James followed.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"Wob-buffet!"
"Chime chime!"
"Mee-owth, that's right!"

"Meowth?!" Jessie and James said in unison.
There was Meowth--standing on top of the group's traditional Magikarp-shaped submarine.
"So, did it work?" Jessie asked.
"Umm, I don't know, all I did was place it there... but... Oh what am I saying--of course it'll work! It's foolproof!"
"Please note that these are legendary Pokemon we're dealing with," James noted. "Don't you think they might be..."
"Oh, don't you go assuming things," Jessie interrupted. "You might jinx it!"
"Seviper..." Seviper hissed at something--and was looking towards the trees.
"Seviper?" Jessie noticed. "What is it?"
<"I sense someone coming,"> said the snake Pokemon. <"A Pokemon, in fact.">

--Tidal Island--

In the exact centre of the small island, a voice chanted out into the air around it. The voice seemed to come from a small Clefable standing on the island. But apparently, it was drawing in the legendary Pokemon. Isix flew in from Volca Island. Shakahani rose up from the surface of the water and began to scoot onto the shore. Lustre was teleported onto the island by three Alakazam, who returned to Silphy Island afterwards.

Upon arriving, Isix blew a flame at the Clefable, who turned out to be nothing more than a lifesize plushie. Then she knocked it aside as the other two legendary Pokemon arrived.
"And here we are called to this meeting," Isix announced. When she "spoke", she seemed to be speaking telepathically, thought she could be heard by everyone within a small distance.
"Yes, I have been sensing lots of trouble back at home," Lustre reported. "I felt it in my roots."
"I thought I spotted a human on Doma Island," Shakanahi reported. The other two stared at her.
"Alas this is what we are to fear," Isix commented.
"We are strong enough--we can just go on protecting our homelands," Lustre suggested. "They can't cause enough problems to take over the islands. If we have to, we can stand up to them ourselves, even fight if we have to." To reassure this, she planted her roots firmly in the ground and flexed them as if they were muscles.
"But the Pokemon..." Shakahani worried. "What will happen to them? Something just doesn't seem right about these humans..."
"Let's pray for their safety," Isix said as she bowed her head knowingly. Lustre and Shakahani did the same. A ball of faint white light seemed to materialize in between the three. Then it rose up, split into three pieces, and flew towards the other three islands. When they were halfway there though, they shattered and sparkled in the sunlight before disappearing. But, the wishes of the legendaries had not truly vanished...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC:
-You can enter a battle with Jessie and James if you really want to, though I don't recommend it at this point. If you do, you can control the two Rockets, but don't have them lose automatically.
-I'm calling the legendaries "she" instead of "it" because they just seem more feminine to me... And, I was never really comfortable with using "it" to describe a living thing.

[Miss Kaeldra]

Jolteon nodded casually,if not almost shyly, to all the Pokemon that were assembled. At Pocchi's question, Jolteon sighed gently. She had felt it, too. The air of suspense, as if something were indeed going to happen.

That's when something caught her eye--a ball of a faint-white color. Jolteon slowly stood, taking her injured leg from the comforting water. She narrowed her eyes and gazed nearly up at the sky to see what it really was, but it shattered and sparkled bravely in the sunlight...then it was gone.

Something was definatley up. Jolteon gazed at the Pokemon, and took a limping few steps away from the water. Turning to Pocchi, she gave a small nod.

"I have always had a fear that it might happen...but it is too soon to tell whether it is..." she was about to say humans, but she didn't want to spook the other Pokemon...yet. "...a true danger or not. But whatever it is, I hope we are ready for it."

[Nigma]

Hello there! I hope it isn´t too late to join!

Name: Dyna
Species: Raichu
Gender: male
Home: Tidal Island
Appearance: Dyna is a very strong and quirky Raichu with a tribal ornament in his face. His tale is much longer as the other Raichus and he also wears a sign on his left arm. His electrical energy is not yellow like the others but violet like his eyes. He is always with his friend Strike on his way (i want to play Strike as an NPC). Strike is a Pikachu like all the others. His only distinction is also the tribal marking in his face.
Personality: Dyna´s Tribe, the Lightning Tribe is the only cluster of electric Pokemon who defend the other peacefully tribes from wild pokemon or pokemon in rampage. Dyna is one of the favourite defender-pokemon which is send all over the islands with his friend Strike to prove the instancy of a job other pokemon asked for. Dyna is a warrior who loves to train with stone-pokemon or other electric pokemon, but seriously he loves peace. Most of the time he is busy in sleeping... ^^

RP Post:
Dyna woke up. The sun was shining and the tree he was sleeping on was warm. A good feeling came up into Dyna as he saw the beautiful landscape. He was in a forrest which looked like a primeval forest. Much big trees and exotic plant species where all around his position. On the ground was a beautifull river which shined in the sun reflection. He followed the river with his view and saw a small waterfall which was on a big rock where the river was flowing from. "Come down here Dyna!" a small voice shouted. "What do you want Strike? I don´t feel coming down to you." he answered. He is such a tedious pokemon..."Ouch!" A nut had hit him. "What the..." "As i said come down. I have found much nuts and fruits. Or should i say..." Strike heightened mellow his voice: "... breakfast!" Strike hadn´t finished his sentence for long as Dyna was already next to him. "Where do you have it?!" he asked hungry. "Hey you big fat poke-chu! Just a moment..." "I am not fat! That are muscles!" the raichu answered furious. "Well, here it is!" the pikachu came back with much vegetables on a big exotic leaf. "Wooohooo! And what to we say?" Both synchronous: "MUNCH-TIME!"

[Forsaken]

((RUKU))
As Ruku slept on the tree trunk that we used as our house, Ruku began to wonder if Kory was doing ok. "I think i'll go check on him." He said while jumping off the giant tree trunk. Ruku moved his head toward the ground so he could pick up Kory's sent. "Got it!" He said happily. Ruku then started to fallow the sent of his younger brother and after a while, he began to come to the beach which was where Kory's sent stopped. Ruku began to pick up his head to look for his brother. As he looked left and right, he then saw a seviper fallowed by some humans who wore a white shirt that had a capital "R" on it. "Whats going on here, did they capture Kory? Maby I should get closer to check them out." Ruku crouched down into the grass and started to crawl over to the strange people and their Pokémon.

((Kory))
"What a relief, that was close, I thought we were goners." Said Kory with a sigh of relief. As Kory looked at the strange new people, he noticed his brother walking toward the people. "Bro." Whispered Kory. "What's he doing, I have to do talk to him...wait. He always told me not to jump into things and to wait before acting." Kory then decided to just wait and see what happens.

[Blizzard]

Ugh, I thought with a sense of disdain. Humans. Nothing but jerks if you ask me. This ferret needs nothing to do with them. Humans move in on our precious land, and think that, just 'cause they walk on two legs, speak a "superior" language, and have those barbaric Pokéballs, they can disrupt the perfection of our natural peace. You... HUMANS... weren't even around for the first Pokémon to walk the fragile Earth. WE have been in this land long before you bastards decided to barge in and steal us away from our natural environment. If I may be so blunt, we, Pokémon, are in fact superior to you. If it weren't for your precious POKÉBALLS, I bet you would be at our mercy.

I stepped slowly toward Jolteon, sizing her up. Yes, I reasoned, We can fight back. A little limp can't keep you down, can it? Of course not. Would we still be thriving here if not for our hardiness and strength? No.

I then glanced back at Pocchi. Size... is no issue. Heart... is what got you away from them.

I looked over at Blu and Flare. Fire... we wield it as age-old experts, do we not? The humans simply use us as their slaves, forcing us to battle amongst ourselves... FOR THEIR AMUSEMENT. Sick, twisted creatures. Yet, they carry no weapons of their own, and call themselves OUR masters. You forget whom you command, bipeds.

"Jolteon?" I queried doggedly. "I know it... I sense humans, too." I shook my head quickly, stating simply, "We have the weapons we need. Their man-made junk? Useless... if we work as a team. You, the Growlithe! Yes, young pup. Humans pose no threat... we've mastered our elements long before they even began to walk our Earth. What say we drive those idiots out of our fur, feathers, whatever covers our bodies, yes?"

It is time, young ferret, I believed, that a rebellion began. They will not tear our lands apart this time. They will suffer.

[Miss Kaeldra]

Jolteon looked to Avanarti, who had approached her before. But now she was able to acknowledge him this time. She listened to Avanarti, knowing what he said was true. But yet...she did not know. Maybe it was because she was so peaceful at heart, that Jolteon did not want this rebellion.

But then again...they couldn't just let themselves be tormented by the humans. Jolteon looked down briefly. No, not again...her lame leg was a strong mark against that. Though she had no grudge for the one who had done it, she did not want to back down.

Jolteon put her calm gaze on Avanarti again, her head tilting so very slightly to the side in understanding.

"I agree." Her gaze swept the assembled Pokemon. Different sizes, colors, powers and types... "Together, we can accomplish what we must. But we should not underestimate them."

[Phani]

Chishio was taken aback by the Quilava’s sudden announcement. The Pokemon called Avanarti appeared to have some grudge against these humans which were apparently disrupting the islands. Listening to the argument, Chishio understood that Avanarti had a valuable point but his approach to the situation appeared a bit rash and unforgiving. Chishio was not one for conflict. However, she appeared to be the only representative from Doma Island who knew of this oncoming threat.

“Excuse me,” she said with a slight bow to the group. The young Dragonair lifted herself up into the air and begun her return to Doma Island.
It appeared that the Pokemon were to begin some sort of rebellion against the humans who were to arrive upon the islands. Chishio however was not convinced that their intentions were evil. The neighbouring Quilava and Jolteon however, appeared to have raised a valid point in being cautious around the new inhabitants.
This isn’t going well… the Dragonair thought as she landed upon Doma Island soil. We know nothing about these so-called humans yet we may be in danger if we don’t take the necessary precautions…
Chishio shook her head and raised her wings. Stabling her path of flight, the Dragonair continued to make her way towards the cratered beach within the centre of Doma Island.

OOC: Um I don't think the Pokemon even know about Pokeballs and the such. How would we know if the islands have been inhabited by Pokemon and Pokemon only (no humans). Plus I don't think that we even know who Team Rocket are. They're just strangers to us.

[Nigma]

"Hmmmm... Wasn´t there a meeting today?" Dyna asked suddenly. "Yup yup." Strike only answered. "I can smell them. They are not far away. Should we go an observe them?" the Pikachu asked. "Yup yup. Just as our tribe want." Dyna answered. They went on their way through the wood. They came very near to the group of Pokemon which seemed to have a conversation started already. "Should we hook up with them?" Strike asked. "Nope, not yet. Let´s hide behind this bush and listen to that they are talking about. Perhaps it´s interesting for our tribe." "Isn´t the mission to meet with these pokemon?" Strike asked wondering. "Yes it is. But you know we are carefull. We watch them, and if everybody seems to be trustworthy, we come out of our hiding. Got it?" "Ah..."

Hmmm, but do we have here. A Jolteon, a dragonair, a Growlithe and an Arcanine. Ok, that´s the Pocchama Udorn told us. And that Quilava lookes dangerous. I wonder what he is thinking. Dyna thought at first. Then they heared about the humans. "Hey Dyna. They mean this two-legged. I don´t understand that now. Are they our enemy?" "Why do you think that?" "Because they came to our islands with a huge number of them." "You mean it looks like a war or something?" "Who knows?" "C´mon, i don´t think these humans are dangerous Strike. They even have no tail. Why should they be dangerous?" "Dyna, just think about these Pokeballs."

Dyna made a serious face. Well thats a fact my friend. They have these strange cage-weapons... Let´s just see that we are not be seen now and listen to the others. Perhaps they know more about the human...

[Blizzard]

OOC: Um I don't think the Pokemon even know about Pokeballs and the such. How would we know if the islands have been inhabited by Pokemon and Pokemon only (no humans). Plus I don't think that we even know who Team Rocket are. They're just strangers to us.

((OOC: Fair point. But, for the sake of argument, Avanarti was a witness to the first invasion, and thus knows about them. Hope that clears it up.))

((Okay, back IC))

I looked at the Dragonair, sleek and lithe. Yes, I thought, perhaps this is a little too rushed. Excellent. Of course I should have remembered. We mustn't throw ourselves around like I said in my rage. We must be careful: plan, assemble, then strike.

"Um?" I said quickly. "I take my thoughts back. Our Dragonair friend, though non-vocal about her feelings, gives off a vibe. I was foolish to advertise such wanton violence against the... humans. But, as a witness and close escapee of the first invasion, I WILL suggest some careful planning and defense. I apologize for my hastened rage, but I cannot let my Mum go unavenged. IF these are the same... humans... that involved themselves in that horrid set of hours, we cannot roll over and let them take us over. But, as this Dragonair surely believes, we cannot simply fight them with a smoldering of unyielding elemental downpour. We wait... for them... to make the first move..."

[Phani]

Chishio flew deeper into the forest of Doma Island, hopefully heading towards the island’s cratered beach where many of its inhabitants dwelled. The oncoming threat that Pocchi and the group had been discussing was beginning to worry the young Dragonair.
Okay, so there have been some human sightings, but that’s nothing to really worry about is it? Chishio asked herself as she passed the spring where she had just rested moments ago. That Quilava sure knew a bit about them though…are they really that dangerous?
Chishio continued along the path through the forest as her mind raced in an attempt to understand her current situation. Beating her wings, the Dragonair sped through the forest as she narrowed her eyes to make out what was ahead of her. Hopefully this path will take me to the inner shoreline and I can th--
The Dragonair stumbled to a stop as she peered up into the sky. A large orb flew over her head before shattering into pieces across the sky. What th--what is that? she thought as she gazed awestruck at the shattering sphere. I guess I’ll find out what it is later, but now, I need to reach the others…
Resetting her focus on her initial goal, Chishio prepared to continue on her path when another disturbance caught her attention. The sound of rustling leaves and twigs and soft footsteps could be heard. Focusing her attention on the now approaching sounds, Chishio soon realised that their was someone following her.
Hmm, I can’t tell if it’s a Pokemon or a human… she thought despairingly. But regardless, I have to keep moving.
With that, the young Dragonair raised her wings and set off along the path towards the centre of Doma Island, with the hope of losing her pursuer or pursuers on the way.

((OOC: Fair point. But, for the sake of argument, Avanarti was a witness to the first invasion, and thus knows about them. Hope that clears it up.))

OOC: Haha, that's cool. Just wasn’t sure how everyone knew about humans :P.

[Ninetales]

OOC: Time to clear things up a bit...

Prince Gryph: Your characters are on Volca Island, while the Rukushio you mentioned is on Silphy Island. You couldn't have possibly seen what the Rukushio was doing, nor could you have seen the Team Rocket members which are also on Silphy Island. After you change those things, your sign up is fine.

Nigma: There really isn't much on Tidal Island, so hardly any Pokemon live there. It's just a meeting place for the legendaries. But, for now I'll assume your characters are from Volca Island instead (there is a forest there too), since you reached the group there without crossing the ocean. And also, you can have two characters--lots of other people did. So your sign-up is OK, if you're okay with Strike being a NPC.

*Gee, lots of people are from Volca Island now... And Korinku is the only person who posted who has characters in Silphy Island so far... so I have no clue how Mikey, Bulby, and Boko will react to what Team Rocket will do next...

IC:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--Volca Island--

Pocchi looked up at the glowing energy ball off in the distance, the one that had just split into three and shattered.
A message of the goddesses? Pocchi guessed. If so, what is the message?
Then she looked at the rest of the group.
"I don't completely know, but I'm guessing the legendaries are also aware of whatever's disturbing us. Maybe something's going on on Tidal Island..."

But most of the other Pokemon weren't looking at Pocchi. Instead they were looking at the volcano in the center of the island. Lots of smoke was spewing from it. A few embers flew from it, but they hit the side of the island opposite where the group was. Whew--the wind was in their favour.

Meanwhile, a Slowking was walking towards where the group was. She seemed to be curious about the conversation the Pokemon were having, especially since it had to do with the legendaries and the humans that were arriving on the island.
"Hello," she said politely to the group and bowed. "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rose, and I live across the way on Doma Island. But I've been listening to the conversation you all had, and my, this quest sounds rather interesting. I think I can be of help in your quest. You see, I've been spying on the humans that arrived here, and I already know a bit about them."
"Wait--did you say you just came here from Doma Island?" Pocchi asked. "How?"
The Slowking, instead of answering, turned her back on Pocchi and faced the sea. Then she formed a few spheres of energy around herself and fired them into the sea. Seconds after she did, a Lapras rose up to the surface.
"May I introduce Lassie," Rose introduced, turning back to face the group. "I think one thing we can do first is hop on and see what is going on elsewhere."
"I dunno..." Pocchi reacted, "it seems pretty safe here, with no humans you speak of..."
"But not with that volcano," Rose noted. "From the way it's been acting lately, I think it's gonna blow soon enough. The very least we can do is evacuate this island, just to be safe."
"Yes, hop on if you're interested," Lassie offered. She and Rose awaited a response from the others.

--Silphy Island--

"A Rukushio!" Jessie noticed. "Go on, Seviper, let's catch it!"
"Umm," James interrupted, "don't you think it's a little..."
"Of course not!" Jessie cut him off. "Seviper, use Poison Tail!"
Seviper jumped out at Ruku, then lashed out her tail. Ruku jumped to dodge the attack. Then Ruku fired a Spark attack in response, but Seviper blocked the attack with her tail. This seemed to be (almost) an even match...

Meanwhile, the other Pokemon prepared for battle as well. All except Meowth that is--he just hopped back into the submarine as if to guard it.
"Inspector to commander," the same voice on the radio spoke. Jessie got a cross look on her face and threw the radio to James.
"You answer it, I'm in a battle here," Jessie muttered.
"Commander to Inspector," James answered. "What is it?"
"Jester again. Oh, James that's you. I'm still on patrol on Doma. I've been trying to catch this Dragonair there, but it's been just slipping out of my sight... Now, the Dragonair just went to Volca Island and then back here. Its driving me nuts! Now it's headed towards the centre of the island."
"Ooh, a Dragonair, how pretty. Do you need any help?"
"Umm, I would appreciate it..."
"I'll send backup then." James then went to phone a couple other Rockets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: For those of you with characters on Silphy Island: You may now battle Jessie/James' Pokemon. Just pick either Cacnea, Mime Jr, Chimecho, or Wobbuffet. Ruku doesn't get to choose--he's already in a battle with Seviper. Also, don't make Jessie and James "blast off", nor battle more than one Pokemon (even if you already beat one).

Toomi: OK, you have more Rockets after you. Just letting you know.

**Rose and Lassie are NPC's I just created. You can control them for a while if you want.

[pokehunter56]

Boko wiated for sometime behind the bush. peeking over the bush he notices that the trainer had either gotten boar d with him or just couldn't keep up. seeing as the coast was clear he decides to continue to walk, not really nowing where to go know. "humans on the island, thats bad." he thinks to himself. "i have to warn anyone and everyone i see." he concludes and starts to run towards a thicker part of the forest, only stoping to see a Rukushio being attacked by a humans seviper. "oh man what should i do know." he thinks to himself. "hey Rukushio you need some help." he yells to the Rukushio.

[Miss Kaeldra]

[( Well, seeing as no one else is wanting to post...^^' Sorry for the short-ness.)]

Jolteon's mind was already convinced. She'd rather go out to Lassie than to be around this active volcano for any longer. She looked about at the other Pokemon.

"I suggest we leave. Unless you can withstand the agonizing heat and melting sensation of lava." She stated simply. With that, she began to make her way towards the Lapras on her slight limp. She went to an outcropping of rock just to the side of the Laprass, and tenderly jumped down onto Lassie's back. There she sat after greeting Lassie, and looked back to the others further up shore. She wanted to see how many of them would come.

[Blaziken_Boy]

Jamison stared at the volcano, then at Lassie, then the volcano again, then Lassie. Volcano,Lassie,Volcano,Lassie,Volcano.... Jamison saw a small ember hit this side.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming!" Jamison said then ran over toward Lassie. He stood on Lassie's head for a brief moment, being so light he wouldn't disturb her. "Trouble on Silphy Island. I see... A big snake fighting a small blue and yellow Pokemon, the yellow one has a dark gray mane. I've heard of those... It's a Rukushio! I think we might need to go to Silphy Island." Jamison noticed nobody was listening, so he stopped talking.

[Forsaken]

As Ruku heard someone call to him he looked around and saw a scyther. Letting his guard down, Ruku was hit by a poison tail but wasn't poisoned. "Uh, sure yea I would really appreciate it." Replied Ruku to the scyther. As Kory saw his older brother get attacked by those people, he jumped out of the grass and stood in front of his brother in a protective stance. "Bro are you all right?" Asked Kory. "Ye-yes i'm fine...are, are you going to fight?" Asked Ruku. Kory looked at Ruku and nodded. "But I thought you didn't like to fight." "yea but I don't care anymore, my brother was just now hurt." Kory jumped forward towards the seviper and used spark. smoke started coming up because of the attack. Ruku stood looking into the smoke, hoping that his little brother was okay.

[Kaishen]

Flare jumps down from his rock, standing next to his pup. Looking around at the group who has yet to reply, he looks at Blu.
"Well Papa? What should we do?" inquired Blu.
"I'm not sure. But for now I think we should trust this Slowking and Lapras." he said to his daughter. Oh, which reminds me... Do you expect to carry us all?" he asked Lassie.

[Allelujah Haptism]

Ninetales: That's not mini-modding, it's a sure-fire way of not getting your roleplay warned. ^^ If you tell your RPer's four lines minimum, I don't have to come here and post for you. xD So good job on avoiding a warn, but if you'll excuse me while I mini-mod your thread,

Kaishen, four lines minimum, on Blue Variant or Winter Friends layout please.

[/The thread's not warned, because I didn't give you -Ninetales- a chance to tell him about it. I just thought I'd say it since I'm doing my check-ups.]

[pokehunter56]

Boko jumped back at the sight of smoke, he looked and watched then waalked slowly towards the others. he looked at the Rukushio, "im sure he'll be fine." he tells the Rukushio. He then looks back at the smoke it stated to get lighter and lighter. he but his whole mind set into it. stepping back he took an almost karate looking stance. ready to pounce on his and there apponent. his blades drawn slightly to the sides and his weight centered, ready for maximum speed.

[Ninetales]

Pokehunter56: You heard what Bijou said. Your last post was only three lines. I will not have this RPG locked because of short posters--it's unfair to all the people who joined. But I won't ban you from the RPG for now--as all your other posts were okay. I don't blame you for putting a short post--there was really not much for you to do there besides watch the smoke. But if you can't post something the correct length, it's better to wait...

Kaishen: I don't know what Bijou's talking about--your post was just barely four lines. And this is on a 15" computer screen. Maybe on a bigger screen it looks like three lines...

--Off the coast of Volca Island--

"Oh sure," Lassie said to the young Growlithe. "I can handle anyone who's lighter than me. And if I have problems holding you up, Rosie here can use telekinesis to prevent me from sinking. Right, Rosie?"
The Slowbro nodded and hopped onto Lassie's back, after everyone who wanted to come got on. After she did, the Lapras started to sink.
"Whoa..." Rosie noticed. Then she used her Psychic attack on Lassie, holding her up right on the water's surface.
"Oh, don't worry about moving me forward," Lassie said to Rosie. She had an instinct to turn her head, but she feared that doing so would startle the Torchic sitting atop it.
"That's what my flippers are for. Well anyways, to Silphy Island it is."
With that, Lassie started to move forward. It took her a while and quite a bit of effort because of the extra weight.

"Need help?" Pocchi asked. But she didn't wait for a response--she just jumped off of Lassie's back and saw behind her. Then she started to push the Lapras from behind.
"Careful, that tickles..." Lapras commented. "You're too much, Pocchama. Really."

Within a few moments, Lapras was finally moving at a good pace. Once she was, Pocchi stopped paddling her way forward for a while. Then she quickly swam forward and jumped out of the water, landing back on Lassie's back.

--Doma Island--

A Team Rocket member with fiery red hair was walking through the small forest on Doma Island. He was holding what looked like a remote control with a squiggly antenna attached to it, which had an attached sphere that occasionally lit up and turned off again. A Weavile walked beside him.

The Rocket and his Weavile continued walking, weaving around trees and rustling leaves in their path. As they did so, the remote control started to flash on and off at a faster pace. It also let out a soft beep.
"Shhhh..." the Rocket whispered to his Weavile. The two started to walk more slowly, and more quietly as well. They were careful not to step on any twigs out of fear of snapping them. They tried not to step on piles of fallen leaves. They ducked under leafy branches. They kept an eye out for each other as well as what was ahead.

A while later, they saw it. A Dragonair was flying through the forest not too far ahead. The Rocket was so excited at this that he instinctively moved towards it. As he did, he bumped into a small branch. This didn't hurt him, but it made a sound of rustling leaves which the Dragonair clearly heard. The Rocket saw the Dragonair turning her head and quickly ducked to avoid being seen.

A second or two later, Chishio continued flying, towards a lighter spot that the Rocket recognized as the giant water-filled crater in the centre of the island. The Rocket could still see her though, and her beatiful tail orbs behind.
Bingo. Jester has come to town.
The Rocket named Jester then pulled out some sort of gun and shot it at the Dragonair. Instead of a net or bullet, it fired a thick metal cord with a claw attached. This claw grabbed hold of Chishio's tail, right in front of the two orbs on it. Jester snickered with satisfaction as he made to reel the Dragonair in. His Weavile stood beside him and eyed Chishio as well.

--Silphy Island--

When the smoke cleared, Kory and Seviper could be clearly seen. When the Korinku attacked with Spark, he had hit Seviper in the tail. This had not caused too much damage, but Seviper was paralyzed.

James saw that none of the other Pokemon were being attacked. He also saw that a Scyther had arrived on the scene as well, assuming a fighting stance.
"Come on Cacnea and Mime Jr," James commanded, "let's help Jessie out. Mime Jr, use Confusion on the Rukushio! Cacnea, use Pin... owww!"
Cacnea started hugging James as he usually did at the start of a battle, piercing poor James with the needles on his body. At least Mime Jr. did what he was told, so he threw Ruku up into the air with his psychic powers. When Ruku fell back down, he caught him in his control again, twisting and turning him around for a while before finally dropping him.

"Come... on..." James managed to pull Cacnea out of his embrace. Then he threw the Pokemon towards Scyther.
"Do it right this time! Pin Missile!"
"Cac-nea!"
Cacnea flew towards Boko while firing a wave of spikes at him. He directed most of them to the parts of his legs that were the least armoured, and the rest to his wings and chest.

"Hey," Jessie noticed, "look, there's that Lapras!"
"You focus on the Lapras, I'll focus on the battle," James snapped without turning around.
Sure enough, Lassie and the Pokemon on her were getting close to Silphy Island, and were just about to land there.

--Tidal Island--

"Be safe, soulful inhabitants of this island." Isix hoped for the Pokemon's well-being on the islands. She and the other two legendaries watched the orb they had just created split into three and shatter over the other islands.
"So now our meeting is over," Lustre concluded, closing her eyes afterward. Gold? Frankincense? Myrrh?
Three Alakazam teleported onto the island behind the legendaries, having heard Lustre's telepathic call. The one named Gold telekinetically lifted Lustre up and turned her around to face them.
"Where are you planning to go?" Shakahani asked. These were the Alakazam that transported the immobile Lustre from place to place.
"I suggest that we return to the islands now," Lustre explained.
"That is a good idea," the Alakazam named Frankincense commented. "There is trouble in the islands. Look over there--Mt. Kito is erupting! Look over there--a bunch of humans and Pokemon are gathered on Silphy Island, and they don't seem to be in a happy mood. Look over there--there is a distressed Pokemon on Doma Island."
"You are wise, my friend," Lustre complimented. "Well, why don't you take me to the beach on Doma Island?"
Frankincense nodded. Within a second, he and Lustre had vanished.

The other two Alakazam looked at each other, seeming slightly surprised.
"Why'd she only want Frankincense to go?" Myrrh asked incredulously.
"I suppose there is some reason..." Gold figured.
"Doma Island?" Shakahani clarified. Ah, I see what she's doing. Myrrh, why don't you come with me to Volca Island? Don't bother teleporting--just ride on my back."
With that, Shakahani slid back into the water, and Myrrh climbed on her back. The two headed for Volca Island, to the exact spot from which Lassie had departed. In the distance, the volcano in the center of Volca Island was spewing lava everywhere, but Shakahani came prepared by using Safeguard to pretect herself and the Alakazam riding on her.

"Just watch out for the lava," Isix commented. Then she turned to the remaining Alakazam.
"Well, Gold, I guess that leaves Silphy Island. Let's go check out what's going on near the shore."
"Isix, O fiery one," Gold said to the sunset-feathered phoenix, "would you be so kind as to tell me anything you know about the troubles that befall these islands now?"
"We suspect it's the humans, but we don't know of the intensity of the threat they pose. We'd be overreacting if we were to just kick them out of this place. That would disrespect the divine order itself. First we must see if we can get to know them better, and maybe work out something. I'm sure they would love to meet us anyways."
Gold frowned at what Isix said.
"Hmmm... It might work, but let's not take too many chances. A being of less holy responsibility, such as myself and my kin, can protect you if needed be."
Isix nodded.
"I know of your powers, wise one."

Isix and Gold contemplated what each other had said for the next few moments. It was quite a while before Gold mounted Isix, who began to fly towards Silphy Island.

--Doma Island again--

Lustre and Frankincense suddenly appeared on the beach facing the crater in the middle of Doma Island.
"The trouble I am sensing is coming from over there," the Alakazam noted, pointing the spoon in his hand at the forest nearby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: Lassie and the Pokemon from Volca Island are arriving at Silphy Island now, but Isix and Gold are still pretty far away. You won't be able to see those two at this point.

And the forest indicated at the end of this post is the one Chishio is in.

**For those of you from Volca Island who have not posted recently, the group is on Lassie now and is approaching Silphy Island. If you still want to join them, just assume you are already on Lassie. If you don't, just stay on Volca Island (if you stay, you risk getting burnt, but you get to be visited by Shakahani).

[Miss Kaeldra]

Jolteon sat there near Lassies' neck, closing her eyes as she gently inhaled. Sure, everything seemed a bit stressful and tinged with anticipation, but she wanted to have a clear mind. The other Pokemons' chatter slid in and out of her focus. It did not necissarily include her, so it didn't matter. As Silphy Island drew more and more near, she couldn't help but feel a bit of excitement.

Nothing never seemed to happen on these islands--and now, at last, there was. Though it may be dangerous and maybe even irratating from their almost lazy lifestyle, it was something new.

[Phani]

Chishio felt the grasp of something cold and hard grip her newly shed skin. It was painful and it dug around the jewels detailing her slender tail as holsters to secure her to her position. Turning her head, she looked back through the forest to see where the sudden apparatus had derived from.
It’s a…it’s a human? the Dragonair thought as she struggled against her captor. Oh no, he’s pulling…me…in…
Chishio struggled against the man’s device that had captured her. She had no intention of being caught, at least not until she had warned the other Pokemon.
I’m so close! she thought as she tugged against the man’s bonds. I have to warn the others before it’s too late!
The sound of rushed footsteps caught her attention as she continued her struggle against her captor. Opening her eyes, she saw another Pokemon rushing towards her. It was a Weavile, but it didn’t appear to be content in helping her escape. It seemed more like its intention was to prevent her from escaping. She then realised she had no choice. She had to escape regardless, even if it meant fighting back.
For the good of the other Pokemon I must do this… she reassured herself as she turned to face her active pursuers. Okay, here I go!
The Dragonair shifted all of her strength into her torso in order to gather enough energy to initiate an attack. Seeing the Dragonair’s sudden movement, the Weavile leapt back and raised its claws. The human also stopped his attempt in reeling the Pokemon in as he watched the dragon create a large orb of fluorescent energy at the tip of her mouth. Stretching as far back as she could manage in her position, Chishio closed her eyes before propelling her head forward in the direction of the human and his accompanying Weavile to unleash her attack. A static stream of concentrated energy shot from the Dragonair’s mouth and headed straight for the two pursuers, severing the cable that tied the device to her tail on its path. The human and Weavile easily dodged the attack but lost sight of the Pokemon as it escaped in the wake of its own attack.

Tearing through the forest at the fastest speed she could manage, Chishio flew towards her goal within the island’s centre. She was not about to give up on her cause to warn the other Pokemon and she soon realised that she would have to fight regardless of her opinion on the matter. The invading humans and accompanying Pokemon appeared to be holding no restraint against the island’s Pokemon. She and a few others were the only ones who new of the oncoming threat, and it was now up to them to help save their homes.

[Blaziken_Boy]

Jamison was watching what the two Rockets were doing. Apparently the female was going to try to capture the group of Pokemon on Lassie's back. He looked at the Pokemon, and thought up something.
"Now, I think right when we land, we'll be facing those people's Pokemon. I want you in a defensive position, or an offensive one. Either way, we'll need to hold our ground. If we won't be able to make it out uncaptured, then we'll set up a last stand and try taking them down with us. We're about to land, so get ready!" Jamison, for some reason, took up an offensive position. Apparently he didn't think he was too small to take anything three times his size. He didn't turn around, but said one last thing.
"Victory comes to the ones willing to get it!"

[Blizzard]

I stared at the active volcano, keeping a firm stand on my position. "Leave me if you want," I said stiffly. "I'm a Fire type. I can handle the heat. Besides, if I fall in the water, I'm good as dead. I will remain here and try to gather some forces to defend Volca Island. Besides, I think you need to take much of the group over on Lassie anyway. We're not all Fire-types that live on Volca, you know. I won't have a problem gathering the troops together.

As I looked at the rest of the group. I gave them all a half-smirk and nodded. "What, you just expected me to abandon my home? No, thank you; I'll take my chances here and not risk the unforgiving oceans."

[Nigma]

"I have heard enough. What do you think?" Dyna asked. "Well let´s get it rollin." the Pikachu answered. Perhaps they shouldn´t have said that outloud, because it was probably possible to hear both. But now they didn´t mind if they were seen or not. They jumped out of their hidings and started to dash towards the next meeting point from their tribe. For sure some of the other pokemon could hear them, but now it was up to them to inform the tribe about the happenings on the islands. "Dyna! Shouldn´t we just invite the other pokemon to fight with us?" "I don´t think they would join. Even if they had a plan to get rid of this humans, they seem to be some kind of lone fighters. They surely won´t accept us both in their team or something else. So don´t think about it..." the Raichu answered. For sure he didn´t know what kind of pokemon that were, but he hadn´t have enough time to figure out every detail. That what he had heard and seen was enough to mobilize the tribe.

[pokehunter56]

OOC: Sorry about the long wait...
IC:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--Volca Island--

There was a Pikachu, Raichu, and Quilava that had decided to stay on Volca Island, and were beginning to formulate a plan to defend the other Pokemon on the island from the erupting volcano and from any Rockets that might be approaching. Around the island, embers and lava spurts rained down, and a thick aroma of smoke filled the area. On the volcano, there was an avalanche of fiery rocks, and a thick black smoke was descending on the surrounding area. However, this area was in the centre of the island, nowhere near where the Quilava was standing.

Seconds later, a stray ember flew out into a forest near the coast of the island, setting a tree on fire. This fire began to spread, until it engulfed a few other trees in flame. Pokemon cries could be heard all over the island--whether they were Geodude upset from their sleep by falling rocks, Spearow fleeing from their burning homes in the forest, or water Pokemon rushing to the sea to escape. There were lots of Pokemon running or flying all over the island, some in a panic.

Not too far away from where Avanarti was standing, a geyser shot out from a crack in the rocks--right underneath where a Vulpix was standing. The Vulpix cried out as she was shot into the air, drenched with boiling water. Then she fell to the ground, shaking herself off and wincing at the burns caused by the heat of the water. Such burns were some of the only burns possible with a fire Pokemon such as this Vulpix. It was a tough time in Volca Island, but these kinds of eruptions did periodically happen (though they were often a couple of months apart at least).

All of a sudden, a couple of Squirtle that had fled the island landed back on the shore again, jubilantly running towards any Pokemon they could find. The first ones they spotted were Avanarti and the burnt Vulpix.
"Guys, you won't believe this!" one of the Squirtle announced excitedly. "Shakahani's coming!"
The two fire Pokemon looked at each other, and Vulpix looked rather surprised.
"Here?" asked the Vulpix. "But why?"
But by the time she finished her question, the Squirtle had run off again, spreading the word further. One of them got hit by an ember from the volcano, but kept going to continue this announcement.

A wave of cool water washed ashore, drenching the Vulpix and narrowly missing the Quilava sitting there. Normal ocean waves never washed up on the hot springs unless they were tidal waves... And if this was a tidal wave, the Pokemon would have been able to foresee it by noticing the ocean receding (which it didn't). Even more mysteriously, after the wave splashed on the hot rocks, it seemed to glitter amongst the steam and the smoke. And after all was done, the Vulpix noticed that her burns were healed.

A large shadow passed over the two fire Pokemon. Some of the Pokemon in the vicinity looked up, to see Shakahani floating there, surrounded by a blue glow. Those who were further away could see an Alakazam riding on her.
"Halt!" shouted the Alakazam. He held his hand out and pointed the spoon towards the falling rocks on the side of the volcano. All at once they stopped mid-fall, then crumbled down into dirt and fell gracefully on the sides of the volcano. Stray lava that flew out was directed to areas containing no Pokemon and fell to the ground like large raindrops.

Shakahani flapped her fins and glowed green. As she did so, the Alakazam teleported and reappeared on the ground, near Avanarti and the Vulpix. He was still focused on Shakahani though, still using his Psychic attack to hold her up in the air. Meanwhile, any lava rocks that fell on or near Shakahani shattered and seemed to vanish into thin air. The Alakazam kept moving Shakahani around, to an area that seemed to contain more Pokemon.

Seconds later, Shakahani squirted a stream of water at the burning forest to extinguish it. The flames in the forest fizzled out into nothingness, and the trees and ground were dripping wet afterwards. After doing this, she squirted a second stream of water into a lava pool near the top of the volcano. Steam spewed out everywhere, but the lava hardened and became plain rock. Then Shakahani landed in the pool of water she had made.

"It is curious that Mt. Kito is behaving like this at this time," said the Alakazam, after releasing Shakahani from his psychic control.
"So you work for Shakahani then?" asked the Vulpix.
"Lustre, actually--these special times call for special missions," the Alakazam answered. "I'm glad you are all okay... mostly in the least. You probably don't like being wet, don't you... Well, I'm mainly here to help ensure the safety of everyone here during this eruption, as is of course Shakahani. Anyways, may I introduce myself as Myrrh. And who might these precious Volca citizens be?"
"Umm, I'm Vixen," said the Vulpix.

--Doma Island--

On the cratered beach in the centre of Doma Island, there were several Pokemon relaxing amidst its gentle waves, cut off from the rip and roar of the surrounding ocean. A group of Krabby wrestled with their pincers. A few Sunkern and Oddish gathered together to gossip. A Dratini sat and watched the Wingull circling above. And some Seel in the water played catch with a curious-looking red and white ball.

All was light and happy--until all of a sudden, Lustre and Frankincense the Alakazam appeared on the beach amongst all the Pokemon. Most Pokemon that noticed this froze.
"Er-hem," Lustre began. "Greetings, Doma Island citizens. For those of you who don't know me, I am Lustre, the main guardian of Silphy Island. Why am I here, you ask? I would really hate to disrupt your playtime, but strange creatures called humans have been coming to the islands recently."
"Oh, so that's what they are," said one of the Oddish. "We've just been talking about some weird two-legged creature that was wandering about. He didn't look at all like he could have been a Pokemon."
"Yes... Currently not even I know exactly why the humans are here. They don't seem to be causing too much trouble, but I've talked it over with the other guardians, and we've decided we should not let our guard down, just in case. For all we know, they might be a threat, but it's probably not a good idea to just kick them off the islands. There's also the chance that they're just explorers, just wanting to know what's here. There was even a couple of humans on Silphy Island that decided to engage in a friendly battle with some of the civilians."

"Battle?" asked one of the Krabby. "You mean they can battle too? How?"
Lustre laughed sweetly. "They don't battle by themselves. They seem to befriend Pokemon, then have them battle. Maybe, in the land where the humans live, they have Pokemon as companions."
"You mean like friends?" asked the Dratini. It was a hard concept to imagine.
"Yeah..." a Sunkern commented. "Come to think of it, recently I thought I saw a human walking around with a strange Pokemon he called 'Weavile'. I've never seen a Weavile before..."
"Maybe they live on one of the other islands," Dratini guessed.
"Weavile... I've never seen one either. Maybe they don't live anywhere around here--maybe they live only where the humans live."

"One thing we also know," Frankincense added while watching the unattentive group of Seel, "is that humans usually keep Pokemon in these contraptions called Pokeballs. They look like... Hey! You there!"
Frankincense saw one of the Seel throw the red-and-white ball into the air. The group of Seel looked back at him, some of who were surprised to see Lustre there.
"That ball, the red and white one you were playing with," Frankincense called out to the Seel group. "Could I borrow it for a minute?"
"Hey, just because you work with Lustre doesn't mean you have the power to get anything you want!" one of the Seel shouted.
"Would it matter if that ball was potentially dangerous?" Frankincense noted.
The Seel that made the previous remark frowned at the Alakazam in disbelief, and another held the ball and looked at Lustre in surprise.
"Please," Lustre said in a calm voice, "there are things about that ball that involve a curious arrival by the humans. You may have it back after we are done discussing it, which shall be shortly."
"Okay..." the Seel holding the ball obeyed, diving underwater and resurfacing at the shore.

Frankincense telekinetically carried the ball closer, and balanced it in the spoon in his hand.
"This," Frankincense indicated, "is a Pokeball. Notice how it opens..."
He tapped the top of the Pokeball with the other spoon, and it opened.
"Usually, there's a ball of red energy that comes out and materializes into a Pokemon. When a person wants the Pokemon back in the Pokeball, he or she holds the ball out..."
Frankincense held the other spoon on top of the Pokeball, so that both spoons were holding it in place.
"...the small round window in the front emits a red laser beam. This beam turns the Pokemon back into the red energy mass, which goes back inside the Pokeball through the window."
"What's it like inside a Pokeball?" the Dratini asked.
"Well, I..." Frankincense started--but he was interrupted...

Just then, a few peculiar sounds came from the forest. A cry that sounded like it came from a Dragonair. An explosion. A metal object breaking. A Weavile shouting. Another Dragonair cry. Rustling leaves.

This may have been the disturbance I sensed earlier, Frankincense thought, as he and many of the other Pokemon watched the forest in anticipation of what would happen next...

--Silphy Island--

"All aboard!" Lassie announced--she was now resting on the beaches of Silphy Island. Only a few feet away were the two Rockets and the bunch of Pokemon sitting there or engaging in battle.
"Whoa, look, a battle!" Pocchi noticed as she and many of the other Pokemon dismounted Lassie and wandered onto the sandy shore. Pocchi then started walking cautiously towards a Wobbuffet that was standing there doing nothing.

"Scy!" Meanwhile, Boko the Scyther blocked Cacnea's Pin Missile attack with his scythed claws. Then he prepared to slash at the Cacnea.
"Cac!" Cacnea jumped to avoid Boko's attack.
"Use Leech Seed!" James commaded.
"Cac-nea!" Cacnea then shot a single seed at the Scyther who was steadying himself again. But before he knew it, the seed hit him in the shoulder and sprouted. Thin vines began to wrap around Boko's body.
"Scy..." Boko knew what to do. He started extending his claws, making to cut the vines apart.
"Oh no you don't," James threatened. "Use Stun Spore!"
Boko only had time to cut a few vines apart before a strange powder blew over him, paralyzing him in an instant. The rest of the vines continued wrapping around him like mummy bandages, till the trapped Scyther fell to the ground.

"Hello there," Pocchi said to the Wobbuffet. "Could you tell me what's going on here?"
"Um..." said the Wobbuffet, scratching his head as he spoke, "I'm not really sure... I don't know why everybody's... battling..."
"Do you know these humans?" Pocchi asked. "Or do you just live here?"
"I, um... live here..." the Wobbuffet answered.
"THAT WOBBUFFET IS A LIAR!" Boko shouted from the flurry of vines. "OF COURSE HE'S WITH THE HUMANS!"

"Okay Seviper, use Haze!" Jessie commanded. Seviper sprayed smoke from her mouth, shrouding herself, Ruku, Kory, Boko, Cacnea, and James in it so that they couldn't be seen. But a few seconds later, Jessie became visible again--she was walking towards Wobbuffet, getting a cross look of her face when she spotted the Pocchama he was talking to.
"Wobbuffet!" Jessie shouted. "Why are you socializing at a time like this? Why don't you battle like everyone else?"
"Wobba...?" Wobbuffet looked confused--he didn't know any attacking moves! He and Pocchi just stood there, staring off into space. Jessie shook her head in shame.
"Ohh, why me..." Then she turned to Chimecho, who was floating around to keep his guard.
"Well, why don't YOU help out?" Jessie asked Chimecho, in her usual harsh voice.
"Watch it, Jessie!" said James' voice from the smoke. Soon after, he emerged as well, holding a Pokeball in his hand. "Don't do anything to harm my darling little Chimecho! I'll take things from here!"
Jessie turned to look at James.
"Oh, and by the way, I got the Scyther as well," James continued in more of a whisper, so only Jessie and Chimecho could hear. "And Mime Jr. and Cacnea are handling things by themselves with the Rukushio. If you hear them cheering, it means Rukushio's down too. If they're complaining, the poor things, it means they fainted..."
"Oh, excellent!" Jessie said with a giggle. "Now, I think we should take care of these other Po..."
"Careful, not so fast!" James interrupted. Again, he whispered to Jessie. "We can't just barge in and attack them. They outnumber us! I think we should try to gain the Pokemon's trust first, then surprise them at the last minute--that sort of thing. We shouldn't be so violent about this--that's why we just kept on blasting off before!"
Jessie said nothing--she just frowned.
"If you really want to fight," James continued, "why don't you help out Cacnea and Mime Jr and Seviper?"
"Oh, all right..." Jessie grumbled, heading back into the haze.

James walked over and sat next to Wobbuffet. Chimecho accompanied him.
"Hello," James introduced. "Don't mind Jessie--she's just--a little aggressive. We're just here to visit--to find out what's here. Really, I didn't even know these islands existed until a few days ago!"
<"Yeah,"> Chimecho agreed. <"it really is a neat place. You guys really are lucky to be living here in peace.">
<"You should see Volca Island,"> Pocchi suggested. <"Right now the volcano on it's erupting, but there are these really nice hot springs there--I find them really relaxing.">
As Pocchi spoke, she had a hard time keeping her eyes off of James. She had never seen a human before. And, she remembered a conversation the Pokemon had back on Volca Island. One particular Quilava was not pleased with the humans at all, and had rambled on about how dangerous they were. But this one seemed at least to be friendly... Pocchi was confused. Uncertain, she quickly turned around to ask Rosie and Lassie about it.
"Rosie? Lassie? Do you..." Pocchi stopped short when she saw that Rosie and Lassie had disappeared... Everyone that was previously on Lassie's back was now on the beach as well. Anyways, Pocchi turned back to Chimecho and shrugged.
"Never mind."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: Yeah, not something I'd normally have Team Rocket do, huh?

-Heh, Chishio could find quite a bit of a surprise when she gets to the beach...
-Blizzard... it seems you are the only person with a Pokemon that has met Shakahani. Now, Shakahani knows about the humans, but doesn't currently know their purpose here. Myrrh is the same way. Keep that in mind if you want to talk to him. (Myrrh is kind of a NPC, so you can)
-I am not posing any limits on what the Pokemon on Silphy Island can do at this point (this includes the new arrivals). Battle, talk, whatever.
-The reason why I'm bunnying Boko is because Pokehunter56 left the RPG. I won't kill him off or anything, but he will still play a role in this RPG...

--Current NPC's:
-Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh (the Alakazam that are now with the legendaries on each island)
-Vixen (the Vulpix that is now with Avanarti and Myrrh on Volca Island)
-Everyone on the Doma Island Beach except Lustre
**Note that Rosie and Lassie aren't on the list, because they have other things to do...

(Mind if I join? I'll go ahead and post anyways as not to break any rules though.)

Name: Odd
Species: Oddish
Gender: Female
Home: Silphy Island
Appearance: She is a rather small Oddish. Her leaves are a vibrant green.
History: Odd and Lax are the best of friends. Odd has a big bark but very little bite. She is almost a mother figure to Lax with all of the nagging that she aims at him. She isn't very strong, but if something were to happen to Lax, her mother instincts would kick in. She is kind of a pessimist.

Name: Lax
Species: Snorlax
Gender: Male
Home: Silphy Island
Appearance: He is a large Snorlax, more fat than tall.
Bio: Lax and Odd are the best of friends. Lax isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but his strength is almost unparalleled. But he has such a big heart that he can't bring himself to hurt anyone, he almost even feels bad when eating berries...almost. He is very cheerful and always sees the good in things and other pokemon.

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

Odd ran about in the large hollow tree that she called home. She was quite frantic about the current events, after having seen the ongoing battle on the sea-shore, and she couldn't sit still thinking that Lax was out there and he might get hurt. He was a big snorlax, but he really couldn't defend himself! "Oh, where could he be? Where could he be?" She squeaked, going back and forth between looking out of the entrance, which was a somewhat large hole that went in through the roots of the giant tree, and the window, which was a hole on the opposite side of the tree, trying desperately to find her best friend. Suddenly, while looking out of the window, she heard a loud rustling at the entrance and froze in place. 'Uh oh, who could that be?' She thought, thinking of bad situation after bad situation that could happen to her. 'What if its a bad pokemon coming to gobble me up! Or maybe its one of those alien things from the beach coming to put me one of those red and white balls! Eek!" As her thoughts began to get more and more grotesque a familiar voice came from the hole. "Odd! I got myself stuck again..." Odd immediately calmed down and rushed to the entrance. "Lax!" Her voice rang out like a mother scolding a teenager coming in passed curfew. "Where have you been!?!" He frowned a big frown as he thought his answer over carefully, as not to anger her. "I was gettin' berries, Odd...uh...for you!" She eyed him curiously. "Then where are they, Lax? Where are the berries?" His eyes got wide in dismay. "Uh...uh...I...I...ate them." She gave him another glare than dismissed the thought.

"Well, that's not important, all that matters now is getting you out of this hole. How's you get stuck here anyhow? You've always been able to crawl through this hole before." He kind of shrugged and gave a little 'I don't know' kind of a sigh. "I suppose I just got fatter again."

"Well...I am going to go and see what's going on down at the beach, I think something really bad is happening, there are creatures there that I've never seen before." Lax kind of got a little scared look on his face. "Creatures? Like what!?!" Odd sort of shrugged. "I don't know, but you stay here and don't you run off again!"

With that, the little Oddish scuttled away, leaving the fatter Snorlax stuck half-way through the tunnel. She hopped out through the window and hesitantly worked her way through the trees, periodically taking cover for fear of capture, and made her way to the beach where she would hope to find some answers.

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

(Is that good? Or if not, I could just leave, I posted in a way that it wouldn't matter if I was there or not, so if you already have to many people here, I could just go. But it would be great if I could stay. Thanks!

Name: Blaze
Species: Ninetales
Gender: female
Appearence: Blaze's tails are slightly longer than normal. Her eyes are also a slightly darker shade of red. Her fur shines with gold spots, but besides that, her coat is normal.
Home: Volca Island
Personality: nature: relaxed
She doesn't get panicked very easily. She just sits there, letting the days past by, for the most part. However, once she gets into a battle, she's all out powerful and won't hold a thing back. Her flamethrower could easily start a forest fire, even if its her weakest flamethrower! She is also kind of romantic, but won't normally show her affection. She used to belong to a trainer, but she ran away from it because he was so mean. She ended up sailing to Volca Island, and became good friends with the pokemon there. Even though the whole trainer incedent was years ago, she still fears humans.

RP Post
Meanwhile, on Volca Island, Blaze was sunbathing. She was humming to herself. Suddenly, she woke up. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" She thought she saw Jessie, but it was just an illusion. "Phew... if that had been a human, I would have gotten a heart attack!" She looked closer at the figure. "Oh, that Torchic again... hey, you! This is like, the 10th time you scared me like that! I have no choice but to fight now!" So the fight began. After one quick attack, the Torchic ran away. It stopped for a second. "Blaze, I thought it was just a joke! You didn't need to attack me! Then he ran away. Pocchi, who saw the whole thing, then started to giggle. "I think he has a crush on you Blaze." Blaze just stared at her. "Pochhi, why must you be that way?"

Name: Shadow
Species: Mightenna
Gender: male
Home: Doma Island
Appearance: Shadow's eyes glow bright red in the darkness. He has darker fur than most Mightennas, and his tail is more bushy.
Personality: If Shadow was a human and had the same personality, his label would definatly be emo! He tends to spend his time anywhere, as long as it's dark. When he roars, most of the other Pokemon flee. He apparently at one point had a girlfriend, but she mysteriously disapeared. Apparently Shadow has attempted suicide many times.

RP Post: Shadow looked in the water, disguested by the reflection. He walked away, and the same thought that normally haunted his mind was there again. "What is the point of life anyway..." He looked out at the sea. "I wish I was born in a place with more cliffs, I would really like to jump off of one right about now..." He remembered the sea, and how one could die of drowning. "It sounds painful, but I'm going to be dead soon anyway, so it doesn't matter how I die, as long as I do." He looked into the sea again. "Maybe I should wait untill tommorow..." So he went back to his burrow, and went to sleep.

and also... my 3rd and final charactor
Name: Shakirita (Shakkie for short)
Species: Treeko
Gender: female
Home: Silphy island
Appearance: Shakirita's body is a shade of lime green, and her tail is a darker shade of green. Thorns erupt on her tail, making her look threatening. Her eyes are also red.
Personality: She tries to act all threatening, but she actually dislikes fighting. She lives in a tree hole near the middle of the forest, and she said, "Because I was born so close to the center of the forest, I barley know what the outside looks like." Even though she often acts like a snob, she can be very nice to Pokemon who she respects. She really wants to evolve.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RP Post: Shakirita thought to herself. "I'm pretty sure I'm at level 15. If I level up one more time, I'll evolve into Grovyile. But here's the only catch... I'm going to need to fight..." She saw her friend Vine. He was an Ivysaur who was at about level 20. He would most certainly make her level up if she was victorious, but she didn't want to fight him. Why? She had the world's bigget crush on him, but she knew the only way she could get him was by evolving. "Hey Vine..." Vine turned around. "Yo wazzup Shakkie?" Shakkie was trying hard not to blush, his cool personality was just too much for her. "W-w-wanna have a b-b-battle Vine?" She was releived that she got it out. "Um... ok... why?" Shakirita was shocked. She never thought he'd ask.

Volca Island
Blaze decided to go hook up so that the Torchic that kept scaring her would keep his distance. That is, if he liked her, which she hoped he didn't. She took a quick stroll around the island, when finally, she met the guy of her dreams. Archie the Arcanine was lying by the volcano, sleeping and enjoying the heat. He was incredably hot, in more than one way... she left a heart shaped rock by his sleeping area, and wrote 'true love' on it. It was pretty big, so she was hoping he would notice.

Doma Island
Shadow woke up after a long night's sleep. "Today's the day..." He thought to himself. He went to the big watering hole and looked into the water. He then thought to himself, "Why not take a drink from the 'pool of death?' He took a sip; then he jumped in. He was drowning, and it felt great. "Good-bye cruel world..." He thought to himself. Then he started to die. He woke up about 5 minutes later. A young Azumarril wiped off her mouth as if to suggest she just did CPR. "Huh? I'm ALIVE? DARN IT! The Azumarril looked at him strangely. "Darn? You mean 'yay' right?" Shadow looked back at her. "No, I was commiting suicide. You interupted me." "Well I'm glad I saved you then. My name's Cookie. What's yours?" He started to get infatuated by this young lady. "W-w-well Cookie, m-m-my name's Shadow..." Cookie looked at him funny. "Why are you blushing?" Shadow got serious again. "No reason!" Cookie could see right through him. She figured out the truth.

Silphy Island
Shakirita was shocked that Vine asked why she wanted to battle. "So Shakkie, what's your reason? Hmmm? I'd like an answer!" She looked back at him. If she made her responce too long she'd stutter too much. "Just cauz..." She was hoping this would be a good enough reason. She was not about to say that it was to evolve to impress him. Suprisingly, Vine was ok with this answer. "Ok, let's go started then!" Vine started off with his favorite move, vine whip. Shakkie got hit hard, but she stayed standing. She used her pound, but he dodged it. This battle would be long and hard, and whether she'd actually evolve would be determined soon.
