Pokémon: Johto Reboot (OOC) [T]

[Crunch Punch]

I very much appreciate the offer, Scyke, but I wouldn't want to force you out just because I was a bit slower on the draw. Not to mention, Sovereign actually got his first request in before me. If you'd like to hand over your spot to anybody, it should be him.

Again, I'm very thankful, but I wouldn't want to take anyone's spot if they still want it. It just wouldn't sit well with me.

That's fine mate, kind of you to decline an offer like this. So Sovereign, do you want the spot with Cyndaquil?

 

[Gandhi Savage]

@miltankRancher - Really, really good SU. You've been accepted. Charmander is now taken.

That's fine mate, kind of you to decline an offer like this. So Sovereign, do you want the spot with Cyndaquil?

Oh gosh... well, uh, if you are absolutely certain you want to hand your spot over? I am perfectly alright with reading this rather than participating. As it happens, I am already in one RP and am fine without a second. I am very appreciative of your generous offer, but if you do want it by all means go for it! Leave me in my lurking where I will be just as content. If you are sure though, I would be honored.

 

[Chalifoux]

o3o
I think I've finished.
But I will definitely expand on my SU if I need to :D

 

[Gandhi Savage]

@Fuyu and EliteBeats - Very enjoyable SU's guys. You've both been accepted. Bulbasaur and Squirtle are now taken.

Lily Sassone – (Lil-ee // Sass – own)
< Lily Flower, Pure; the flower lily is a symbol of purity, innocence and beauty >
​

Spoiler:

​

Age: 16
Gender: Female (F)

Appearance:
As you can see Lily inherited medium stature from her parents Martin and Lucinda. With a height of 5"4 and weighing 132 lbs Lily satisfies the criterion of 'mediocre', or so she so strongly believes. Despite her minimalistic views on her beauty, she often receives a relentless wave of compliments about her beauty while doing even the most basic of tasks; playing with the Sunkern in the back garden, visiting the local PokeMart to pick up some groceries for her mother, or even reading a book while sipping on a warm cup of tea amongst the fruit and vegetable patch.

If one is to delve deeper, it is clear that Lily has a particular affinity for nature and so her style of apparel somewhat mimics this. Her black and green checked jumper along with her black tights – because you know, black makes you look that 'oh so much thinner' – accompanied by her thick and warm ugg boots make for a comfortable outfit. Her yellow and crimson bows and broaches are a must, but are not always of the same colour; much like how nature changes, so does Lily.

One aspect Lily particularly dislikes about herself is her hair colour. She often regards its colour as a colour worse than 'a Feebas flopping around in the mud.' which never really made sense to anyone else but herself. Her eyes maintain a fierce green and her nose is quaint and perfectly suited for her face. Her eyebrows are thin, while her mouth adorns a stunning set of pearly whites.


Personality:
Much like her appearance, Lily upholds a quiet and calm demeanour.

Aside from her fascination of nature and its mysteries, she also had a keen interest in Pokemon Battling and reading. Writing could be considered another interest of hers but she seldom wrote compared to the countless times her mother would find her reading outside under her bedroom window. Her thirst for knowledge is what fuels her curious nature and love for adventure. Unfortunately at times, her curiosity can land her into sticky situations as she tends to forget to think before she acts.

Because she keeps to herself most of the time, many dismiss the fact that she's exceptionally confident and outspoken on the battle field. As a result of the misconceptions drawn about her, Lily is often seen using this to her advantage whether it be during Pokemon Battles or in everyday life. Her quiet behaviour and what could be described a timid behaviour at times, sometimes sees Lily at the front seat of criticism and teasing from her peers and especially her 'enemy' Foressa Chesk, who despises Lily for her exceptional results at school. She was never popular at school because of this devilish girl, and so learnt to be an independent learner. Thus, when it comes to completing tasks, she is never once to want to work collaboratively in a team.


History:
Lily was born in the bustling depths of Azaela Town. This could explain her love for nature and the outdoors, considering that Azalea town is surrounded by exciting Pokemon and dense forestry. Azaela Town as you may know it, isn't the most developed or sophisticated of towns compared to its neighbours Violet and Goldenrod City.

As a child, Lily wandered the streets of the quaint village day in and day out. She'd visit the Famous Kurt's house, (of who, was of a much healthier state), the Pokemon Gym where she'd help out Bugsy with anything he needed around the Gym from yelling at his trainers to get into shape (she liked that job A LOT) to feeding his Scyther. She hated feeding his Metapod though. She said Metapod resembled a pastie that she nearly choked on one dinner. In the Gym she also took careful notes in her scrapbook. It outlined all the battle techniques Azalea's Gym Trainers used. As smart idea if she were to say so herself! She'd also love to assist Nurse Joy at the Pokemon Center and would apply bandages and rub ointment into the sick and weak Pokemon. Despite such a sad atmosphere, Lily loved to care for the struggling Pokemon, her favourite being a sick Dunsparce that had wriggled its way into a resident's washing machine. She can still remember giggling at the poor thing who had bubbles popping out of its mouth for a good day or two.

Despite her adventures, and he ability to roam Azalea Town, her mother warned her to never visit the Slowpoke Well.

"B-But mum!" She cried, "It'd be fun, I'll be careful!"
"NO", Lucinda yelled. "It's far too dangerous. It's not stable m'dear. Who knows what could happen."

Yet, Lily being her curious self snuck her way to the well anyway. Nothing terrible happened that day luckily, all Lilly found was a broken Pokeball and a few jubilant slowpoke who basked in the sun. The only thing of real interest, was a peculiar sound she heard from inside the depths of the well. She could of sworn she heard what sounded like footsteps. "Click" "Splash" "Sploosh" "Click". And she could've sworn she saw a shady figure in the reflection of the water at the well's base. The stood there, satue-still and so did she, before it disappeared in an instant. Scared, she ran back home, as fast as an Arcanine and till this day hasn't returned to the well since.

As time flew past and Lily reached the sweet age of sixteen and before she knew it she was more than eligible to register to become a Pokemon Trainer. She received an invitation from Professor Elm whom saw quality trainer potential in her, and decided to give her a head-start on her journey by offering her one of six Pokemon: Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Totodile and Chikorita. Almost instantly Lily knew which cutie pop she was going to choose, and so she instantaneously chose Chikorita. Its eyes watered in happiness as the small leafy Pokemon jumped into the arms of her new trainer. Nothing could be better for Lily at this moment; for she was about to start a journey of a lifetime, a journey she was sure she would never forget.

[miltankRancher]

Woo! Accepted!

The awkward moment when one could not out-polite the other. Oh well, glad to be part of this RP! :)

@Turkish: It is one of the SUs I certainly took my time. I usually finish my SU around three hours after reservation. LOL. And I tried a new technique this time, with the history being told in the first person. I saw that somewhere in this community (I forgot who, sorry) and I liked the idea. I cannot really claim all the credit.

 

[jov0006]

Yes! I'm reserved! (This will be the placeholder for my SU) Regarding Togepi, is it the Togepi egg from Violet City/Mr Pokemon?

Cotidia Manning​

Spoiler:

Name: Cotidia Manning
Age: 10
Gender: Female
Theme: Animal Crossing New Leaf – 5 PM/Rainy Day
Appearance:
Cotidia is 4'11" in height, which she hates about herself, and only weighs 85 lbs. Unlike the image above, she is much messier with her hair having a mind of its own and making her appear like a cross-dressing boy at the craziest of times while her clothes are very dirty as she seems to trip a lot, especially into pitfalls. She wears a hair tie which recently had a Pokéball added when she decided she was ready to train Pokémon, as well as the ribbon on her bag, which also had a Pokéball added. Unlike some trainers, she does not intend to carry her Pokémon on a belt, but either in her bag or out of their Pokéballs.

Contrary to some girls, she isn't too fussy about shoes, but absolutely hates shoes with laces, and personally considers them as unimportant, unlike her general appearance, as she believes that people should look at your face when talking and not shoes. However, she does not wear make-up, as she doesn't really need it considering her mother's former natural beauty when she was a Kimono Girl.

Cotidia has a scar on her leg due to her carelessness as a child, when she fell off a tree in Ilex Forest and is often weakened by it.
Personality:
One word would to describe Cotidia would be "disorganised". She often gets lost, whether it is on the road or during speech. However, the only exceptions she seems to show is when she talks to her rival Fila, where she becomes aggressive and competitive in order to beat Fila, even if that means to be temporarily organised.

She has often proven to be immature and demanding, making people view her as being spoilt but in recent times she has gradually matured more and has even started taking responsibility for own actions. There are very many of these actions she would have to account for though, as trouble and bad luck brews around her, which goes great with her disorganisation.

Due to her childhood injury, tripping is very common with her. A day without her tripping a few times is a rare occasion, and whenever she celebrates it, guess what, she trips. Consequently, she has gathered many injuries other the years and sometimes has muscle pain in her left leg, meaning that she has to rest from time to time whether she likes it or not.

Cotidia can get excited easily, and seems to love Bug-type Pokémon, mainly due to her upbringing in Ilex Forest. She considers odd Pokémon to be cute and is horrible when it comes to technology, especially the PokéGear, often struggling to open it, let alone call people.

And despite all these things, Cotidia enjoys her life with its ups and many downs and is eager to go on her Pokémon adventure!

History:
Cotidia's story began in Ilex Forest, born the daughter of Ana, a former Kimono Girl from Ecruteak City, and Raddis, a newly-retired Ace Trainer. Raddis organised a cottage to be built within the forest, and the two named their newborn girl Cotidia, as a hope of leading normal lives after her birth. Cotidia proved to be the more adventurous type however, wandering about Ilex Forest while playing with its Pokémon inhabitants. This created problems for Raddis and Ana, who would have to look for Cotidia for hours if she had gotten lost. But soon Cotidia had developed a friend. She had befriended a Spinarak, which helped Cotidia navigate through the dense woods that is Ilex Forest.

By doing this, Cotidia developed a burning desire for to go on an adventure with the Spinarak who lived in the forest. However, Cotidia's parents decided that Cotidia needed to learn more about Pokémon before training them. Cotidia, enraged, ran off into the forest, climbing a great tree and falling off it, breaking one of her legs and permanently scarring her right leg. Now Cotidia had no choice and the family moved to Violet City where Cotidia recovered.

There she attended the Trainer School to learn more about Pokémon before actually obtaining one. Cotidia learnt material quickly but she also quickly became rivals with another girl called Fila, as they competed for the top place of the class. It became so competitive that it often proved to be the detriment of the learning of other students, and the two often had detentions before becoming enraged with each other, blaming each other for the detention. That's how friendships work in Cotidia's books. Unfortunately for Cotidia, the role of "top dog" usually went to Fila, for being more well-mannered and studious than Cotidia, who sometimes missed school from her sheer unorganisation.

A few years passed and Cotidia graduated from Trainer School. Her parents had decided to finally allow her to obtain a Pokémon. Cotidia became excited quickly, but remembered Spinarak before vowing to meet it again someday.

Which Pokémon she will receive is from is a mystery to Cotidia as she sits impatiently and bored by her house's window watching the rain pang against the glass of the window or the sun shine through it, creating a beautiful spectrum of light which would keep Cotidia amused for a minute or two.

[curiousnathan]

Just letting you know that my SU is done and up!

 

[miltankRancher]

Oh my god, Curious. Youre character is lovely. I hope I can do art like that myself, as I wanted to see what my characters would look like in paper and not just inside my mind. But, I have no talent for it. All my trainers would remain an idea. slashemopost

 

[jov0006]

Could I have a tiny extension for my SU? I had technical difficulties today when all the programs on my computer were spazzing out midway through the SU and now it's all lost.

 

[YogiOne]

Finally finished my Su, there you go TurkishDelight you can take a look and tell me if I need to change anything.

 

[Gandhi Savage]

@YogiOne: Really nice SU, very enjoyable and really enjoyed your take on his history. You have been accepted. Totodile is now taken.

@Curious: Your SU made for great reading, the image was pretty special as well! Consider yourself accepted. Chikorita is now taken.

@jov0006: That's fine, I'll allow an extra 24 hours starting from now if that's ok? Your place and Togepi are still reserved.

@Sovereign: Hope to see your SU soon.

 

[Karma]

Thank you very much, Scyke! Consider this a placeholder for my SU. I shall get it done as fast as I can, which will hopefully be later today.

careful there, my friend! she may look like a sweetheart, but her soul harbors the devil himself. her tongue is like both a whipping and a sweet lullaby. her baby doll eyes draw out your every insecurity. i wouldn't get too close to that one mate.

--- I V Y --- L A W R E N C E ---

Age: Fifteen, 15

Gender: Female

Appearance: Due to the unfortunate process of genetics, little miss Lawrence has inherited the horrible life altering illness that is known to most as being short. By secretly adding up the height of those she knows closest in age to herself and averaging the result, Ivy found that she stands at approximately five whole inches shorter. Five. It's an absolute disgrace. A mockery of her very being! It was proof that the world started messing with her the day she was born. Arceus knows she tried to reverse the illness' affects as soon as possible. However, all the methods she tried ended as a failure. Stretching? A hoax. Eating a dozen eggs a week? Yeah, that was smart. Oh and there was that one time she hung upside down by her feet! That was one heck of a headache. Nonetheless, she learned to live with her four foot foolishness.

Unlike most teenage girls (or Sparkles, as she dubs them) she has come across in her life, her body is built the opposite of a twig. A good few pounds of meat and muscle make up her legs—fit for short distance running—and the rest of her figure. She has defined curves and often tries to use them to her advantage, despite her obvious adolescence. Ivy shares her mother's rounded face and rosy cheeks with the exception of her paternal grandfather's snub nose and gray eyes. Her lips are a plump nuisance as they sit there triumphantly ruining any smile that involves teeth. Resting atop her head is short light brown hair cut in a layered bob that rests just below her chin. The hair seems to have a mind of its own throughout the day. Around noon it has a slight curl, at night it falls flat like a drape, and she doesn't even want to think about mornings. Mornings are absolute nightmares.

As for her attire things mostly stay the same during the span of the week. Starting from the bottom up, she wears thick yellow rain boots that are slightly too small for her feet. It's a fashion trend. To those who protest otherwise she gives them her signature and-what-do-you-know-about-it look that tends to frighten onlookers away. Underneath are two dirty overused white crew socks that hardly see the light of day. Enough said. For the bottoms Ivy chooses to wear both a burnt red cargo skirt and small blue shorts. A brown belt helps keep the two in line as it holds all necessary and unnecessary trinkets such as Pokéballs or string. She also wears a pale yellow top that is layered with an orange and red half-vest sort of thingamajig. She just adores the two tiny buttons on the front. To complete the outfit are two matching red and white gloves that are worn whether winter or summer. They're the young girl's lucky gloves and she never leaves home without them.

They work miracles. She swears by it.

Personality: To say that Ivy was a stubborn young lass would be a vast understatement. There was no such thing in her mind as backing down or giving up. When she set her mind on something it was like a life or death mission to achieve it or make it possible. In arguments with others she tends to forget that other people have their own views and opinions, but they don't really matter anyway, right? Right. There was also no such thing as authority. This made it very difficult for her parents. When it came to discipline she was probably the hardest challenge they would ever face in life. She refused to stick her nose in a corner, as it was seen by her as a jest to her dignity, and grounding the girl also proved difficult. She just would not stay in her room! They could lock the door and she would just flee out the window and walk right in through the front door. Ivy was absolutely impossible. It must be that wild nature of her father getting in the way of reason.

Now the girl was also intelligent beyond her years. She could solve an intense equation before her classmates could recite their letters. Unfortunately, this raw talent was used for the evil doings of one rather than the good of the many. Ivy was calculating in everything she did, whether it be outsmarting her teachers or plotting her next move against the establishment, and this would often get her into loads of trouble. Especially when it came to fights with the other children. Now the thing about Ivy is that she is the one to stick up for the true underdogs. She will bully the other bullies until they cease in their efforts to make life miserable for others. She saw it as giving back to them what they put out in this world. One would think that this would help in her endeavors to find friends, but she was seen as a horrible person and a danger to all. She didn't mind though. It was better to be feared than to be rejected. Yet there was a part of her that was lonely inside. She had a single friend, Elliot, but even he in his adorableness wasn't enough to quench her everlasting thirst for acceptance.

The girl was short-tempered and easily blew her top. However, instead of a fiery outburst she had a cold and slow burning anger. You would never see it coming. The young lady has also been labeled arrogant, cocky, and even audaciously loquacious in the worst of ways. However, what most people don't know about her is that she uses these weapons of destructive personality as a mask. She hides behind them like armor so that she can stand up to anything and hold out for what she believes in. Inside there is a different story. She is riddled with a mass of sorrowful emotions such as being lost and feeling helpless. Bad things in life happen, and though she can't for the life of her figure out why, she tries to prevent them at all costs for the ones she cares about. Even if that means putting herself in a poor light. When it comes to her friend Elliot, she views herself as his guardian. Protecting him from the harm of others. As for her family she won't take any wrongful talk of them. None whatsoever, but sadly there seems to be a lot of it these days.

Nonetheless, there are good things in her as well. Ones that don't shine as bright or show as often, but they are there. Sometimes one can see a kindness seep through her when she is around Pokémon or Elliot. Like a soft flutter of light that could make someone smile just by looking at it. Ivy also has a nurturing nature for those she deems worthy of it. She becomes a caretaker when she takes certain people or creatures under her wing, and only tries to give them the best of the world. Her laughter and her smile are just like her mother's. They seem to brighten the darkest of days. Not many see this from her. Those who do though are happy to have her in their company.

History: The story of how her parents met and how she came to be still plagues her mind to this day. Why she could practically recite it word for word! It all started with a young man named Walter. He had been born to the handsomely rich and famously known Lawrence family. They were the celebrities of the bustling Goldenrod City and they had a hand in every business in town whether it be housing, entertainment, or shopping needs. They were prim folk with the heart of a serpent and far reaching ambitions. Their two sons, however, were a nothing like the rest of the Lawrences. Walter and his brother Arthur were rowdy, free-spirited boys who couldn't tell a silver coin from a gold one. They built up quite the reputation for being the troublemaking misfits of the city. Yet Walter was the heir to his family's fortune and businesses, so thus he was expected to eventually get his act together and be the man he needed to be. Unfortunately for his parents, he decided that he was going to be who he wanted to be and continue on the path of parental rebellion.

This is about the time when he met Ivy's mother. One day while visiting a family owned theatre he saw the ballet performance of Swanna Lake. He was entranced by one of the background dancers who he believed shone more than the lead. She was a beauty to betake, as he would recall later, and time seemed to slow down as she glided across the stage only to disappear behind the curtain. From then on Walter could not focus on anything other than that woman, and so he waited patiently until the performance ended before escorting himself backstage. He found her sitting in front of the dressing room mirror or combing out her long sandy blonde hair. Instead of reacting badly to a stranger watching her, she smiled. My gosh, he thought, does she light up the room with that smile. From there he learned her name: Margaret Leighton, or Maggie. It just so happened that they were perfect for each other. They fit like two puzzle pieces in the grander scheme of life.

They fell in love and after only a few short months he proposed. Then came the matter of telling his family. His parents neither knew that their son had been seeing her nor that he asked her to marry him. So when he came home with a sweet young woman and announced his engagement it was no wonder they were outraged. She was a common girl! Of common people! Why, she was even a dancer for a company they owned. Maggie was thought of as the dirt beneath their feet and they treated her as such. They asked their son to call off the marriage or be disowned and lose his family inheritance to Arthur. He chose the latter, and walked out of his childhood home with a smile on his face and the love of his life on his arm. From there history was made. Not too long after their honeymoon, Ivy was born as the first and only child of the newlywed Lawrences in the small humble town of Azalea.

Ivy grew up with a disgust for other human beings that disagreed with her point of view on life. The children of Azalea town had little to no intelligence (or so she believed) and so she spent most of her days alone in the backwoods of her house. There would be times when her parents would force her to play with the other kids. It never ended well. Wait, scratch that... it always ended in disaster. At first she would be a sweet, loving young thing but if they said something wrong about her or her family she would tear them down until the last kid in the town avoided her. Yet there was an exception of a boy named Elliot. He lived a few houses down and was the shiest person she had ever met. She treated him like a younger brother and poured the good remnants of her being onto him. He was her best and only friend in the world.

Together, they would pretend to be Pokémon trainers battling it out to see who would reign Champion. They loved everything about Pokémon and dedicated their waking moments to learn all they could about all the types and moves. It would often interfere with their regular schoolwork and after another skipped class their parents laid down the law. The two weren't to see each other or even think about Pokémon until after school, and even then they were only allowed a few hours at most. So in secret they would sneak out at night and go into Ilex Forest to be free.

However, all good things eventually come to an end. There was an incident one night as they came across an angry Paras. It charged the two friends and Elliot ended up with a nasty cut and fell ill from its Poisonpowder attack. After that night he and his parents moved away, leaving Ivy utterly lost and alone.

Despite the incident, she couldn't help but love Pokémon more after seeing their abilities. Ivy's parents told her many stories of daring adventures and traveling the world as a trainer.

She longed to be one of the greats. This brings up to now. After hard months of wishing and hoping she was finally given the chance to become a Pokémon Trainer.

There was also a part of her that knew she would see Elliot again one day, and they would meet on the battlefield as rivals, but also as long lost friends.

[jov0006]

Finished my SU, if there's something I should edit let me know. :P

 

[Gandhi Savage]

@jov0006: Really nice read, you are definitely accepted! Togepi is now taken. I hope to see what you do with the Spinarak now, I'm really interested haha.

@Sovereign: Great start to your SU, if you can keep it up at half that rate you'll most certainly be accepted! Cyndaquil and your place are still reserved.

Due to six of the seven spots now being filled, I'll post the first chapter as soon as possible.

Hey guys, Chapter One is up now! It's quite short but I just wanted to get it up and started.

Quick question, would you like to see Pokémon from other generations involved or should we keep with the canon of the games? Just want some of your opinions before I decided. Route 29 is basically game canon and I added Aipom as you technically can catch it on Route 29, via headbutting trees.
