CLOSED TO ALL APPLICANTS!
Setting: Long ago, three families helped to found the city of Olivine City in the land of Johto. As the city's construction progresses, the richest of the three families, the Espinares, also began construction on a large castle on the outskirts of the city. Over time, the magnificent limestone castle was completed, overlooking the sheer cliffs near the Olivine Bay.
The Espinares were a wealthy merchant family that had grown tired of life in the quiet Violet City. So when they finally moved into their castle, the housewarming party they threw was anything but quiet. Musicians, clowns, dancers, and all sorts of performers populated the dance hall, entertaining the many powerful figures that had come to celebrate.
The food was delicious, the drinks intoxicating, and the conversation plentiful. The party was moving along without a hitch until a sudden scream sounded from the western wing. A few men ran to investigate, only to find a large fire had started, having already consumed several rooms. A few Water Pokemon were released and attempted to subdue the large fire. But the inferno could not be stopped.
The fire spread, and the frantic guests began a stampede that rivaled a group of rampaging Tauros. The smaller and slower guests were trampled as the fire almost seemed to be chasing them. They escaped into the night, and when they reached a safe distance, they watched the castle fall to the monstrous flames.
At the end of the night, eighteen people died. The most significant of these deaths was the youngest daughters of the Espinares, Catalina. It was in her room that the fire started and it was presumed it was the lamp in her room that was the cause. A mass funeral was held for those who died, and a large memorial was built in the courtyard of the castle for the young Catalina. The rest of the family left the charred castle for a smaller home in the city and their descendants have lived there ever since.
Over time the dilapidated castle succumbed to the forces on nature and humans. Moss began to overtake its walls, numerous villagers took large chunks of stone to build their own structures, and wind helped to erode at the walls. Rumors too began to spread across the city and the rest of Johto. Some said the young Catalina had started the fire on her own and accidentally caught herself in the flames. Others said the Espinares had built a great structure underneath the castle where they hid numerous rare Pokemon and items. Some said that the spirit of Catalina resided in the castle, hoping for visitors to help soothe her loneliness.
These rumors helped to pique the interest of one distant descendant of the Espinare family. The young man knew there were hidden secrets in the castle, but knew all too well that he could not explore this castle on his own. So, from his home in Ecruteak, he attached a letter to numerous carrier Pidgeys and set them off on their own, hoping a few trainers would respond and help him explore the castle. The letter stated:
"Hello fellow trainer,
My name is Erstad Espinare III. You may or may not of heard of the Lost Castle of Olivine, but if you have or you seek a grand adventure, please read further. My family has long ignored this magnificent castle and the secrets it holds have long been forgotten. I hope to find these secrets, but the castle is much too large to explore own my home. I need several strong and brave trainers to accompany me and I promise those who do help will be rewarded handsomely. So please arrive in Olivine City at the Lighthouse in exactly one week and we will begin our trek into the castle. I ask only those who can brave the strange to respond.
-Erstad Espinare III"
With the letters attached, he set the Pidgey free, letting them wander aimlessly in hopes they reach the strongest trainers in the world.
