Perhaps. Do you know whether trading cheated Mons might harm my perfectly legal Platinum?

 

[pikakip]

well, I have 1 high leveled pokemon and it's a lv 94 Empoleon

I wouldn't trust hacked pokes. I never do. it would be a bad idea

And yw Winterfall

 

[DarkLugiaMaster Gir]

I never cheat any of my Pokemon games,I love my Pokies to much to let them get eaten by a glitch.

 

[Strikit]

I believe in training only as well. What I would do is trade the starters over, along with a baby Happiny it has, breed the starters, and raise the young. I don't like getting my Mons at high levels. I prefer a level one Charmander to a level fifteen. That way, I get more say in how they grow.

O.O ZOMG dudes. Guess what I got?

Yep! A FEMALE Riolu! It's my first Riolu too. I was playing my nice unhacked Platinum, went through the cave with the dude, and he gave me the Riolu egg. I ran around in circles until it hatched and it was a girl! Yay! Her name is Rina.

 

[Fuyu]

Awesomeness Strikit! I prefer training, considering I can't hack XD.Hiya pikakip!

 

[pikakip]

nice Strikit! I'm gonna go check on the RP and I'll probably make my SU, (I'm aaccepted) and depending on how many people we have, i'll say how soon we are to starting.

 

[ShadowYashi]

Well, I joined =3
I want a Mothim. . .
Venomoths and Dustox cooler and part flying cousin.
Hi new RP mates!
I'm Yashi!

 

[DarkLugiaMaster Gir]

Well I'm back from Virginia, wish I could have stayed until the Bizarre (A Flea Market sorta place) opened Saturday, oh well at least I finally got a new used computer for my room :D

 

[Legendarian Mistress]

I'm a bit annoyed that Zeph stole my chance to get Elekid, considering I wrote my SU last night basing it on Elekid. I'll post it here so pikakip can look over it.

Name: Lindsay Willow

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Description: Lindsay has an Irish-Welsh lineage that goes back for many generations. This is evident in her hazel eyes, common in said countries, and her fair complexion. As a result of the foreign influences in her DNA, however, she was born with black hair. As she matured, it lightened to a medium shade of brown; but, she has previously paid for blonde streaks – or foils – as others like to call them. The second time she went to the hairdresser, it was red and blonde streaks – and the third time it was plain red; the red has since grown out and she is left with her sun-streaked brownish-blonde hair once again.

Having wished to inherit her father's height, she is of a pathetic stature at five feet and eleven inches. Despite that and her average figure, she does not look harmful (although she was abused by her mother and turned violent because of it, she has since grown out of that phase of her life and is a different person now), for there is a gentle undertone to her eyes.

She prefers to keep her hair perfectly trimmed and short, the tips of which touch the base of her neckline. She never wears clothes that match, wearing a grey short-sleeved shirt and yellow three-quarter pants one day, a red short-sleeved shirt and light green three-quarter pants the next, even mixing in a purple short-sleeved shirt and purple shorts combination some other day.

Personality: Lindsay was born into a rich family as the third child of four. Unlike other children from wealthy families, she wasn't overly spoiled. She has spent her life in the shadow of older brother Roberto, initially seeing him as a role model, and later in life as an outcast after an incident involving him becoming a criminal made her lose all of her respect for her brother.

Constable Sparkes' son, Stephen, developed a rivalry with Lindsay purely due to the fact that he received better grades at high school than she did – despite the fact that Lindsay graduated second in her class.

Lindsay's personality is more straightforward than convoluted. She's an individual all to her own. While growing up, she was a loner, never wanting to make any friends because she didn't see them as worthy peers. Back when her sister died, she hated her brother for his involvement and for the path of shadows he was determined to walk. In addition to that, she often vented her impatience on Roberto, when he was being cold and distant, and few things made her excited. Now, however, she is still impatient, but is kind, caring and hyper as well.

History: It was in the year of 1985 that Lindsay was born. Her parents loved her very much, and bought her anything she wanted, or anything they thought she wanted.

By the time she was six she could read quite fluently, as her mother had taught her since she'd turned five. With the release of Pokémon Red and Blue in 1999, Lindsay's addiction began. She received the two of them for her birthday and, by the time a couple of months had passed, she had already levelled a Dugtrio up to eighty-one. She was extremely eager for the release of Gold and Silver in 2001, desiring more.

She'd also played the Yellow version, due to her liking the fact that Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle could be obtained in the game. Initially, she used Pikachu, but as time passed, she realized that the opinions of the many saying that "Pikachu is so over-rated" were absolutely correct.

However, for a period of two weeks when she was fourteen, she lost interest in the Pokémon craze. She quickly regained interest in it again when she saw a magazine advertising the creatures.

In lending a next door neighbour's relative her Blue game, on the proviso that he gave it back, she waited for the seven-year-old to return it – unfortunately, it disappeared along with him when he went back to his house.

At nineteen, in 2004, Ruby and Sapphire were released. They proved to be her absolute favourites, due to the drastically improved graphics and the addition of Sceptile. The gecko-like Pokémon was without question her favorite, and a prominent member of her team in both games, as well as Emerald, when it was released.

With the arrival of the Nintendo DS, Lindsay traded everything in; her strategy guides for Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver and Crystal, as well as the games which included the old Pokémon Stadium series. She ended up buying a second-hand white DS which cost her $160. When the DSi was "born", she again traded stuff in and purchased a brand new ice blue coloured DS. The only game she has in her collection at the current moment is her customized Platinum, which she plays obsessively.

RP sample:

Paul's POV​

While Rachel, Katie and I had gotten up before first light the next day, and despite the fact that Rachel and Katie had left immediately, I chose to remain behind for some reason. It was almost as if I wanted to keep an eye on Josephine while, at the same time, being one step ahead of her. I turned and looked at the two red and white orbs on the bedside table and thought of how valiantly Scarlei and Brute had fought against Brock, the Rock type Gym Leader of Pewter City, two days ago.

Both of my partners were nearing evolution, I was sure of that. But what I wasn't sure of was how long it would take them and where the miracle would happen. I imagined Josephine asking me "Where did you come up with the name Scarlei?" the next time she saw me. Fortunately, I had had enough foresight to come up with a reasonable excuse. The fact that I had a knack for nicknames, even though I didn't normally do it, surprised me slightly.

I also knew I couldn't stay in Pewter forever, as Rachel and Katie now had the lead badge wise. I was aware that Rachel was a born and bred Pewterian, so it naturally made sense for her to know her way around the city and the surrounding area. I attached my partners' spheres to my belt, scrutinized my backpack, and then hefted it onto my back, before leaving the Centre for good.

Just as I was leaving the place of healing, I saw Josephine having breakfast out of the corner of my eye. I couldn't be bothered going over there and saying hello to her; I just wanted to be gone from this boring old city of grey rock. I wondered how she was going to train four Pokémon but, by the time I was halfway through that thought, I'd already exited the Pokémon Centre and was headed towards Route 3.

Whilst doing so, I slowed my mind and remembered back to my successful victory over Brock.


At first, I'd had to watch some noob challenge the Rock type Gym Leader. But, fortunately for me, the battle was over quite quickly.

"Rattata, Tackle it!" A boy cried frantically at his Pokémon.

The sight of the small purple rat facing off against the giant mountainous snake of stone which was Brock Stone's Onix would have been almost comical if I did not know the dangers of the Rock Snake Pokémon.

The arena itself was made of a huge slab of slate, common to all of Pewter City. Topsoil hid the rock formation the city was built on; however, instead of constructing a battlefield, the local Gym Leader had chosen to dig up the ground, exposing the stone below and giving his exclusively Rock Pokémon an edge in battle.

"An unwise strategy." A teen, standing on the opposite side of the arena to the boy with the Rattata, advised. An orange long-sleeved jumper, which covered his trademark brown shirt, and russet-coloured trousers were his outfit. The teenager's perpetual squint hid the dark eyes that matched his spiky brown hair. With the crowd filling the once empty stands above at his back, Brock raised a muscular arm and smiled. "Onix, Harden!"

While the tiny lavender-coloured rodent charged valiantly towards its enemy, Brock's Onix remained still, conserving his energy. Although I was too far away to see the effects of Onix hardening his already stone skin, I could imagine the rock contracting, closing any imperfections on the outside of his body to leave nothing but smooth pewter in its wake.

Rattata hit Onix's side and rebounded off, leaving not even the tiniest of scratches on the Rock Snake's flank. As it darted to its feet, Onix bent low to look into the rat's eyes, then whipped his tail around and into the purple rodent. The fifty spectators in the stands met the attack with awe. Rattata's trainer, on the field below the masses – a little boy not even ten-years-old – could only sniff away his tears as his Pokémon hit the wall of the ring and slumped to the floor.

Brock withdrew Onix and consoled his opponent privately, before escorting him off the field and returning to his post across the arena. I began my mission; I had no intention of competing in the Indigo League, instead only wanting the badges to increase the strength of my Pokémon. The hushed murmur that had begun the moment Rattata was defeated died down when Brock raised his hand in a command for silence. I left the stands behind me as I made my way down to the arena.

"You have seen my power!" Brock shouted to the crowd arranged around the pit the arena was situated in. "Are there any among you who would dare challenge it?"

For a time, nobody spoke and Brock sat cross-legged at his post. Serena suspected that I had seen the ten metre long stone Onix and decided I could benefit with some training before facing her cousin.

But it was not to be.

My shadow fell on the arena from the large rock cut entrance across from the Gym Leader. Serena suddenly realized that, in her heart, she had been hoping I wouldn't face Brock, because she felt that I was too inexperienced to be capable of defeating him. To her dismay, she saw me casting the shadow, Scarlei and Brute at my side. I marched into the stadium and took up my position where a challenger should.

"You are young." Brock spoke, his deep voice echoing throughout the Gym. "What is your name?"

"I am Paul Johnson from Pallet Town."

His tone was suddenly very cold. "Is this your first Gym challenge, Paul?"

I frowned, but dared not speak against the Gym Leader. "Yes."

"Then there will be plenty of time to talk if you can best my Pokémon."

His tone indicated he seriously doubted that I stood a chance at beating the Pokémon inside the two spheres he threw to the ground. Once more, the crowd was hushed and waited expectedly for Brock's other aces, which could only be two Rock types.

The first of these Pokémon to exit was a rhinoceros-like creature which slammed into the ground upon emerging. His skin was layers upon layers of slate-coloured rock with a single horn jutting from the tip of his nose. This creature was a Rhyhorn, a predictable choice of Pokémon. His red eyes tried to stare into mine; however, I appeared to be more steadfast since he turned his eyes before I hardly blinked. Brute could handle him, I deduced.

The second Pokémon was a bit of a surprise for a person who was foolish enough to bring a Water Pokémon in the hopes of defeating me. It was a Kabuto, a Rock and Water type. His entire body consisted of a thick brown shell as well as yellow legs that pierced through the darkness of his body. The only other thing that could be seen from the inside of the shell was that he too had red eyes, circular ones that glowed when he turned his body. He was a distinctive shock for any other person; but not I. Grass will hurt him not only once but twice.

"As you can see, this is a double battle. You've seen mine..."

"And you will see mine," I answered.

"Now show me how strong you are, trainer Paul."

I yanked the two Poké Balls containing my Pokémon of choice from my belt. I stared at them; they haven't failed me to this point so they wouldn't now. I tossed them vigorously to the floor allowing the two Pokémon shoot from the white light to the ground. Scarlei and Brute was my choices and they were my key to victory. I calmed myself down. If I got too overconfident I would lose – no, I would be defeated utterly. However, that wasn't going to happen. I am Paul, and I am the best there is.

"Let the battle begin!" Brock shouted.

"Double Kick the Rhyhorn, Brute. Handle the Kabuto with an Absorb." The words just came out of my mouth. Both were super effective on their respective opponents.

"A little hasty there don't you think, Paul?"

Without any notice, Brock's Pokémon suddenly dashed out of the way of their opponents and counter attacked with a Horn Attack and Scratch from the Rhyhorn and Kabuto respectively.

Scarlei seemed to take the Scratch well, while Brute took the attack with too much damage from my haste. The Rhyhorn had achieved first blood; as seen by the red liquid on Brute's stomach. This wasn't the situation that I wanted to be in.

"You have to slow down... in your battling, Paul," Brock gave some advice.

"Don't lecture me." I couldn't help myself.

<What the HELL, Paul?> Brute spoke, already frustrated.

"Concentrate, Brute. The battle just started," I reconciled.

<Though it was obviously a miscalculation on your part...> Scarlei chastised me. He was the only one who could do that without retaliation.

"Focus on the battle both of you."

"Horn Attack again, Rhyhorn. Scratch Kabuto."

<Is he foolish enough...> Scarlei started.

<To think we will fall for the same damn trick twice,> Brute finished.

"You know what to do." I stated – they knew what I meant, it went without saying.

The Rhyhorn dashed towards Brute, while the Kabuto suddenly leaped towards Scarlei. Both of them dodged the attack effortlessly at the last moment. Brute attacked back with a flurry of Pecks as he jumped over his opponent while Scarlei stunned his enemy with yellow spores from the vines on the top of his head. Brock appeared thunder-shocked – it was a good indication that he, too, had underestimated me, if even only slightly.

"Don't look too confident," Brock mentioned.

"Because I'm in the driver's seat, I'll keep driving. Crush them. Double Kick and Absorb."
Brute effortlessly executed his attack, aiming two powerful Double Kicks to the Rhyhorn's body. In terms of defence, the Rhyhorn could best Brute. However, in speed, it was obviously lacking. I planned to milk that of all that it was worth to take this rhinoceros down – piece by piece.

Scarlei, despite the Kabuto's paralysis, missed the double super effective hit with Absorb. It was pathetic really, how the Kabuto would do anything not to take a blow from the Grass type move. However, the paralysis was a factor on how much he was squirming right now. I wasn't too worried about that outcome.

"You're getting comfortable. Don't," Brock continued.

"You're between a rock and a hard place, if you can pardon the cliché." Matter of fact, I was getting pretty comfortable.

"Confidence... I enjoy that. Let me tone you down a bit." Brock shook his head. "Stomp, Rhyhorn. Spin off the Stun Spore with a Rapid Spin, Kabuto!"

Rhyhorn's massive leg slammed into the ground sending the much smaller attacker flying to the other side of the gym. Kabuto began spinning his body in such a rapid pace that the spores that stuck to his body dissipated leaving him limber once more.

"Scratch it." Brock said blankly.

Before I could give a proper direction towards Scarlei, the Kabuto jumped towards Scarlei to strike him with Scratch. The attack was then followed by the rest of Kabuto's claws, causing blood to be seen on the outside of Scarlei's body. He now looked as irritated as I did.

<This Kabuto is... annoying...> Scarlei mentioned.

"Let's end this. Brute, can you battle?" I continued.

<Hell yeah...> the Nidoran brought his body up off the ground. His face was covered in a crimson mask of his own blood. <Let me at 'em.>

"Tough Pokémon you have," Brock complimented.

"Likewise." Respect deserved respect.

"I assume that we should finish this," Brock looked at the Gym's ceiling. "Rock Slide, Rhyhorn. Icy Wind, Kabuto."

Those were indeed the two most powerful moves that he was probably saving in his arsenal. Rock Slide and Icy Wind can be taught at an early age each to Rhyhorn and Kabuto. At this rate, both of my Pokémon would faint. I clenched my teeth at the thought of failure. Not here. Not now. I won't lose.

"BRUTE! SCARLEI! POUR YOUR HEARTS OUT!!!" I shouted.

The Rock Slide came raining down towards Brute. Brute's adrenaline began pumping through all of his veins. He began swerving in and out of the falling rock, moving as fast as lightning to avoid all of the attacks. Out of nowhere, he became empowered with speed to get close to the Rhyhorn. Once close enough, he pelted the Rhyhorn's legs with Double Kicks breaking him down to the point that the Rhyhorn fell over in pain. With one last attack, Brute hit him with a critical hit on the last kick sending the Rhyhorn to unconsciousness. One was down.

The second came soon after; Scarlei had developed a plan long before the Icy Wind had left the Kabuto's mouth. The Budew had managed to multiply the last remaining Stun Spore across his entire body. When the attack started, Kabuto's guard was down, giving Scarlei the opening he needed to infect his entire body. As Kabuto lay helpless, Scarlei stood over the Shellfish Pokémon.

"Absorb..." I said with a smile on my face.

With that the battle was over. Every ounce of the Kabuto's energy was drained from him, causing him to faint seconds later. The battle was over and I was the victor. There was no denying it.

From the stands above the arena, the crowd went wild. Despite all expectations, I had learnt a lot in just four days, which included managing to defeat Brock the Rock – the renowned student of Bruno of the Elite Four. The battle had been long and hard. In the end, my victory was a stupendous win, nonetheless.

An hour later, the Gym Leader had a discussion with me about the trainers who had come before me. "You want to know about Rachel Savina and Katie Emerson, right?"

"I figure I have a right to know," I answered. "They're friends, after all."

Brock's silence prompted me to try again. "What was the battle like?"

"Short," the Leader replied.

"Were they that difficult to beat?" I questioned tentatively.

"It was a two-on-one, but in the end only Katie's Firkit fought my Pokémon. She completely overwhelmed me, that I was forced to forfeit." Brock admitted, as he strapped his tool belt around his waist. "If you truly are their friend, then I advise you to train a lot harder, because they will overpower you as well."

Pokémon

Breed: Elekid

Nickname: Aiyana

Gender: Female

Description: The difference between Aiyana and others of her kind is that her normally black markings are yellow and her yellow body is black. The reversed colours are the result of inbreeding by an older brother and sister, both of whom are Electabuzz. Her black eyes have been red from birth, leaving her blind and thus making her rely on her other four senses.

Personality: Aiyana is very brave, as many Elekid are. When facing a foe, she will not leave the battlefield nor back down, unless the enemy is a Ground type. At the same time she has an extreme phobia of Grass Pokémon, knowing that her Electric attacks do almost nothing to their health, due to her type disadvantage. She tends to be cheeky, often letting Lindsay know when she wants to prove a point against the young adult by shocking her.

Moveset: Quick Attack and Leer.
