POKéMON- synchronicity [T] (OOC/SU)

[Reader_Maniac]

To those whom it may concern, I will be gone til the 19th(or this Thursday), on a short vacation with no internet. I will probally post as soon as I get back and catch up.

[CrumbledCandyWrapper]

Have fun on your vacation Maniac (that sounded oddly insulting x] )

Since the RP's going pretty slow, do you want everyone that was in our little group to wait on you?

We could have someone slightly bunny you around until your return?

[Whimsyful]

I lied, we're leaving earlier than expected so I can't write up a good post.
If necessary to keep up though, I'm sure Fortworth can take command of Salem. I trust Fortworth's capable hands :3

[Starsprite]

I really don't think that will be necessary. These first posts are mainly about interaction, and might I remind that there are still two people we're waiting on. As soon as I get that sorted out, then bunnying might be okay, but there's nothing important really going on.

I have something planned for nighttime though, so once everyone arrives and does what they want, I can shift to night.

I'd prefer for this not to die though, so hopefully I can get this little mess all sorted out soon. xP

[AlexOzzyCake]

I found a Hayley to replace the missing person, and hopefully BB will post soon too. :D

Also I'ma have Ryudo meet Alex when I post tonight and Emolga will start a rivalry with his Squirt which should be fun. c:

[Hayley]

The following is my completed sign-up form. I hope its okay but if it isn't feel free to help me improve it ;D
(I was given permission to do this even though sign-up is closed)

Name: Yuki Aurora
Age: 17
Date of Birth: 3/3/1996
Gender: Female
Hometown: Olivine City, Johto
Reason for Entering: Traveled to Sinnoh with the gym leader; Jasmine, joining the tournament for challenge and battle experience.

Appearance:
Yuki has a thin but average build, and is fairly short for her age. Her eyes are a stormy blue, seemingly shrouded in a thunderous cloudy mist, whilst her facial expressions commonly make her appear lost in her own thoughts. She keeps her hair long, pitch black with a scattering of blond on the fringe and on the back, swept across the side of her face, cascading down to just below her shoulders and tied in a ponytail. She wears a long black dress tied together with white ribbon almost like a Japanese school uniform with two pockets on each side in which she keeps her Pokeballs. Around her neck is a pendant shaped like a Emolga tail and a pair of blue tinted goggles almost like a shiny Flygon's eyes. She wears black socks to below her knees and a pair of black converse shoes with lightning bolts on the side.

History:
Shortly after she got her Pokemon License, Yuki became the youngest apprentice of the Gym Leader Jasmine of Olivine City, who she joined in spending a lot of time with at the lighthouse with the guardian Ampharos. During the early days of her apprenticeship, Yuki travelled by boat with Jasmine as went to challenge the Pokémon World Tournament in Unova, on invitation from the Pokemon League Committee.

During the travel she met many Pokemon not native to Johto and especially took a shining to several species of Electric types. Instead of training Steel Types as she originally had planned on doing, she decided her true passion lied with these Electric type Pokémon and decided to become an Electric type specialist. In her first adventure with Jasmine to Unova, she came across a shy but persevering Emolga, which she studied but had to say goodbye to upon leaving Unova as at the time she was too young to know how to catch it. However; the Pokemon refused to give up and say goodbye, so it followed her all the way back to Johto to be eventually captured and join her for a two year training course with Lt. Surge, who Jasmine had personally recommended after Yuki's revelation, so that she could specialise in training Electric type Pokémon.

Her training took her to many places of interest such as the Whirl Islands and Mt. Silver, as well as battling for various gym badges as she went along. She met various Pokemon here that she had not met yet and shortly after added another friend to her team whilst on a particular journey whilst back in Johto; a short tempered but gutsy Elekid. As she trained alongside these two Electric Pokémon, eventually evolving the Elekid into Electabuzz, she was again invited by her mentor to travel with her to another region she had yet to travel to: Sinnoh.

In Sinnoh, she met a very troublesome Rotom after being forced to go inside a old manor house during a terrible rainstorm which, after many pranks and tricks caused by the Plasma Pokemon, she realised was just playing as it was lonely and wanted a friend. After a long and hard battle against the crafty Pokémon, she eventually added it to her team as her 3rd friend and began training her three beloved Pokémon.
She decided to stay in Sinnoh as she has seemingly exausted places to train in both Johto and Kanto now. He took her Pokemon across Sinnoh meeting various gym leaders and trainers whom she battled and grew in skill and confidence in each victory or loss.

She didn't really care if she lost or won, she just took pride in that she battled with all her heart, although she did become stronger and she finally visited Sunnyshore City where she ment the strong gym leader who was also a electric specialist, in the battle she was soundly beaten by the strength of the Gym Leaders powerful Pokemon. She then, decided she wanted Volkner (whom she has a slight crush on), was her next training teacher but he was relucatant on this as he thought she wasnt worth his time and not worthy the challenge.

She persevered just like her Emolga would do, and she rechallenged him and after the longest hardest battle, she lost but only barely. Yuki walked away thinking this was just never going to happen now but she was stopped by a friendly hand on her shoulder.
Volker chose to train me after that day and we battled day after day, improving our skills eventually evolving her Electabuzz into Electivire.

One afternoon of training alone is what led her to that tournement, Volkner gave me a booklet describing a new training opportunity. Something she had not done yet tag battling with a partner in synchronization. She gladly accepted and took her leave from Volkner promising to return after she had finished, either win or lose.

Emolga ♀
Quiet | Static

• Electro Ball
• Hidden Power

• Aerial Ace

Electivire ♂
Serious | Motor Drive

• Wild Charge
• Ice Punch
• Earthquake
• Brick Break

@Hayley: Sorry this took so long to review. Since I have some questions, I'm going to say you're pending.

Okay, my first question is, are you absolutely sure you want Yuki to train electric types only? This is a tournament, keep in mind, which means your team will be facing up against several other types. Having only a particular type would put your pair at a disadvantage in general.

Also, it would be lovely if you could expand on your history a bit. You left off with, 'began training her three beloved Pokémon.' Then what? How much did she train them, and what did she do that would qualify her team for the tournament? It might also be nice to include how she heard about it. (It's popular, so there are a variety of ways)

Sorry for being so picky there. If you could edit those in, or at least show me what I missed in your SU that would be nice. x3

As I stated in my VM, I am quite sure I want her to just train electric and I have updated my SU so please take another look over it. Thank-You

[AlexOzzyCake]

Guys I'm gonna be super busy both today and tomorrow so I'll have a hard time getting a post up (birthdays are always hectic :x) but if you guys need Ryudo to progress the story then feel free to bunny him for a while. I'll try and post tonight but I'm not making any guarantees. So yeah, feel free to bunny!

[Starsprite]

@Hayley: Well there's only one problem, but it isn't big enough to worry about. She wouldn't get to know the rules until after she signed up, but in any case, you are accepted.

You can post your arrival on the island any time you want. I'll have to ask Fuyu to edit her post a little, but that shouldn't be a problem.

My aunty's coming over in half an hour and I've got tonnes of prep to do for tomorrow but I'll try my best to have one up by 11. :)

Edit: Hopefully that'll give you something to run from c:

[Whimsyful]

I'm not dead anymore, and neither is Salem. Did you all miss me~?

[Starsprite]

For some reason I thought you were going to be out much longer. I'm glad you weren't. Welcome back~ x3

[fortworth96]

Welcome back, Whimsy~ Now I just gotta get home so I can post >-<

[SwiftSign]

Baker's Bulbasaur left a message to me, saying that he's had a very hectic week (and is very busy this week as well) but he should be back full time by Wednesday - and that he hopes that is ok.

[parallelzero]

Sorry, I'm on a stretch of writer's block. x.x Hopefully it'll clear by the end of the weekend at latest.

We have to wait till Wednesday to start? Hmm, not ideal but I'm sure we can kill some more time around the island till then \o/

[Starsprite]

It's not ideal, but it'll have to do. And it looks like we're going to need a replacement, since Kularian has informed me he needs to drop out.

So there is now one spot open.

[CrumbledCandyWrapper]

Well it looks like Malik and Ryudo should host a B E A C H P A R T Y!! :D

Since its gonna be a while before the competition starts ...

[AlexOzzyCake]

I've recruited someone who'll hopefully fill the last spot :D Now its time to make Ryudo and Alex an item ;D cough

[Starsprite]

And I was totally shipping Malik with Ryudo too! Remember what I said about marriage? D: *shot*

Why thank you~ You just keep on doing my shameless advertising. xD

[xelarator]

This looks fun, can I reserve for this?


Name: Alex Tinajero
Age: 18
Date of Birth: October 22
Gender: Male
Hometown: Goldenrod City, Johto
Reason for Entering: Suspicion regarding his remaining family, and practice before going for the Kanto badges.

Appearance: Alex is very intimidating for being 6 feet tall and 230 pounds. He is from a Mexican father and a Filipino mother, and his face is a mix of both of those races. Alex is growing a mustache at the time, but right now its like peach fuzz that hasn't even reached the lower part of his lip yet. His dark brown hair is so dark, people will think his hair is black unless it is exposed to the sun. His hair style is Crew Cut. Alex is tanned, his skin is brown.

Alex's arms are moderately big for someone his age. His belly isn't muscular, but isn't fat either, it's in between the two. He has had his knee stitched because he fell on a metal bar during the third grade (I still think he took an arrow in the knee).

In order to look even more intimidating, Alex wears a black hoodie (sweatshirt with a hood) and jeans. When he isn't wearing his hoodie, Alex's usual attire is a simple blue t-shirt and jeans.

History: Alex Tinajero has been a happy child all of his life. His father works as a security officer for Radio Tower in Goldenrod City, and his mother worked as a manager at the PokeMart not too far from there. Alex's grandparents were wealthy, and once he was born, they showered him with gifts, money, and love, just like they did to Alex's parents. Alex never bothered to ask for a Pokemon, however. He was somewhat spoiled by his grandparents, and is very sensitive. Although he was a very brave and curious child, Alex cries every time someone yells at him. Up until he became eight, he was, to be honest, a spoiled brat. The events following his eight birthday, however, had traumatized Alex and changed his life forever.

On the day of Alex's eighth birthday,Team Rocket had taken over Radio Tower. Blissfully unaware of their fate, both Alex's mom and dad walked through the front doors of the tower right when an armed Rocket grunt started his plan to take over Radio Tower. Startled by Alex's dad's security uniform, the grunt sprayed bullets all over the two parents, thus killing them both.

Almost immediately , the Goldenrod City Police Department responded once gunshots were heard. It took over three days to take the tower back, and after the incident was settled, Alex was informed of his parents deaths, after three days of worrying. Despite being distraught over the death of his parents, Alex didn't shed a tear. No, Alex was so shocked he had a heart attack.

The thought of his beloved parents who he cared so much about being gone from the world forever completely ripped apart, and destroyed that happy seven year old kid his family grew up with. As Alex was being released from the emergency room, his grandparents saw that their joyful little grandchild was now scared and frighted. Following the years of this event, Alex became a social outcast, and didn't bother talking to anyone, or thing. He was a huge d**k to everyone who actually tried to talk to him, so he didn't have any friends. Being big for his age, no one dared to pick on Alex. Everyone thought he was big and tough, but on the inside, Alex was always crying. He was actually supposed to commit suicide at age fourteen.

After seeing his parent's tombstones next to each other, Alex decided he wanted to join them. Taking his grandfather's revolver, Alex ran far away and reached the Ilex Forest, but before he could point the revolver at his head, Alex thought he heard about seven shotgun rounds go off. Since he was going to kill himself anyway, Alex decided to go investigate before the end his life. As he approaches the area where he heard the shotgun rounds, Alex slips on something. It was a very filthy pokeball that has been possibly misused. Knowing how it functions, Alex pressed the big button with some excitement. Nothing comes out of the pokeball, sadly.

Suddenly, Alex hears something crying. Bruised and beaten a Quilava cries weakly. As Alex's meets the poor Quilava's eyes in a short gaze, he finally realizes why the Quilava is crying. The poor thing lost it's parents. Two bloody Typhlosion corpses full of bullets lay still a few feet away from where Alex is standing. He turns away, and vomits, Alex can't stand the sight of blood. After he finishes vomiting, he cleans his mouth, then turns to the distraught Quilava, gives her a hug, and cries with her.

Alex puts the Quilava back into her pokeball, and decides that this Pokemon desperately needs a home, and some love. Completely forgetting the reason why he came here in the first place, Alex feeds, treats, and basically takes care of the Quilava like any caring person would once he comes home. Alex knew now that he had a friend, someone who understands how he feels, a companion who he wished that they would never seperate from each other. And Alex knew that Quilava felt the same about him, became she never leaves his side. From that day forth, Alex slowly became that happy, smiling child his grandparents once knew. His happiness was......profound. People became confused. This teen that acted all big,tough, and mean became very soft and happy. Then again, people don't know Alex like we do. Despite the fact that he has learn how to let go and move on thanks to Quilava, Alex occasionally wakes up crying for the past haunts his dreams. Sometimes he thinks about what has happened, and remains silent during that time.

His grandmother wanted Alex to make friends, and his grandfather was afraid he might end up like a wuss or something, SO they decided it was best if he were to go met many more pokemon. Of course entirely by choice, Alex spent four years traveling across Johto, Sinnoh, and Unova while collecting all the badges just like any other trainer would do. He met new friends along the way, whether they were pokemon or not.

Alex actually fell in love with a girl name Vivica, and went on a journey with her, but ended the relationship after 5 months since Vivica's dad was racist and hated Mexicans and Asians. Alex was both, so.....yeah. They're still close friends and continued the journey, but nothing more. A thought of both of them getting back together crosses his mind from time to time, but Alex can't stand Vivica's father's remarks.

At the end of his journey of self awareness, Alex had received a letter from his grandparents stating that Alex's grandmother had suffered a heart attack, and that they are running out of money to pay for health insurance. Also he received a letter stating that he was invited to the Pokemon Grand Tournament.

Being invited to the Pokemon Grand Tournament was....strange. Alex didn't need the money to pay for his grandmother's health insurance, for they were VERY wealthy, his grandmother was very fit and looked like she could be thirty at the least, and he could think of MANY other people that would make a better choice. In fact, Alex just finished talking to his grandma on video chat on Skype. Alex decided if he won, he would go give most of the winnings to an orphanage or charity and give the rest to his family. He decided this would be a fun challenge before going after the badges in Kanto, and Alex would also find out why these people have sent lies about his grandparents.
