[PKMN OPEN] Darker than it Seems: A Brighter Future

Previously in Darker than it Seems:

"The most infamous incident that occurred in Kanto; was the Rocket Bio Crisis. Team Rocket has been researching Pokemon and child development, and has tried to implement Pokemon genes to infant humans in hopes of creating a human capable of Pokemon power. There have been many failures which lead to the death of people and Pokemon, but success was imminent. Eventually, they have succeeded in creating humans with Pokemon power in which they planned to use for world domination. Though, the success was short lived, as the people quickly broke out of the rocket hideout at young ages. Several of these people have scattered through the Kanto region, and that, has caught the media's attention. Soon, Public information of these modified humans has been displayed throughout Kanto, and given the name: Hybrids
Years have passed since the incident and though the existence of the Hybrids have been revealed, most of the world has alienated them due to their unique capabilities, and will do whatever it takes, to exterminate them."
Quote from Gray-_-Hatred, the original gm of Darker than it Seems

During this time, a group of Hybrids had escaped from the clutches of Team Rocket, or as they called them "Team Wet Paper-bag." The group of friends, although facing many obstacles along the way, came to do great things. They had defeated Team Rocket many times, eventually taking them down completely. A decade has passed since the destruction of Team Rocket, and although Hybrids were assimilated into society, mostly for fear that they would revolt against the populace if segregated, they are still not treated as equals. Hybrids' powers are unstable and feared by many.

Because of this, scientists had begun researching the fundamentals of pokemon and human genetics. They had begun to create a serum that would stabilize the powers of hybrids, but were stopped when they accidentally discovered that humans and pokemon both contained a single chromosome with the exact same dna sequence. This sequence was unexpressed in humans, but in pokemon it granted them their amazing abilities. The government shut them down immediately, altering the genetic makeup of a human could potentially give them stable pokemon powers, controllable powers that would no doubt be even more powerful than a hybrids when they reach their full potential.

​

Currently:

This roleplay will focus on the start of a pokemon journey of a group of friends, but this group is no ordinary group of kids. These kids have unknowingly been the victims of Team Shadow's experiments. A group of evildoers bent on the destruction of mortals and conquering the world. You will play one of these friends, on a journey through Kalos. Unfortunately, their journey will have many challenges. And what they set out to do in the first place may not be their goal in the end. You, as a roleplayer, will greatly shape the story by creating it yourselves, as long as you check in whenever doing something major and follow the rules.

​
