Real Life + Real Pokemon = One Real Adventure! *Sign Ups*

[Ytnim]

I posted this ages ago in the discussion thread but I never made an RPG out of it. I am now doing it so enjoy!


In this world (hereby after reffered to as the animal world) pokemon are naught but a fictional idea, created to entertain the minds of the youth. It comes in many forms like trading cards, TV shows, video games, etc. But what if they exist for real in another world. An impossibility that could occur if this were the case would be the merging of the two worlds, the lines that kept them seperate became blurred and unnoticable. What if roles were reversed and pokemon became inhabitants of the animal world and animals were plunged into the pokemon world? How would people react? What would people do? Would pokemon be embraced and loved like pets or shunned aside like wild beasts? Would the humans of the animal world allow another thinking species on the planet, would they allow smarter life-forms to co-exist with them?
These questions cannot be answered in theory or by specualtion, only by the actual happenings of the events. This is something that needs to be looked at in further detail.

-extract from the diary of Ytnim, December 7, 2004.

The date is June 4, 2005. The 'Ytnim' that wrote the above text is missing and no-one has any idea of where he or she is or might be. His diary was posted encryted on the internet and as of yet this is the only part decoded. It was written only 2 months before the 'shift' happened. The shift, as it has been commonly referred to, is an event that we have no real information about.

What we do have is information on what it has caused. Early reports of the shift's effects are sketchy and at the time most of it was ignored but this is what has been scraped together. First all the animals except humans vanished from the face of the earth. Completely gone without a trace of what has happened to them. They have been replaced by creatures that are much like animals but are known to some as 'pokemon'. They are a fantastical idea created for the enjoyment of children in the forms of trading cards and TV shows. But now they are in fact real living creatures and they are populating the planet earth.

Now they are the most significant change the shift has caused but not the only change. In almost all towns and cities strange buildings have popped up. They are normal enough to look at and according to the signs on their walls they are called 'Pokemon Centers'. Inside they are much like a hospital but filled with equipment that has now been shown to be for the healing of these so called pokemon. One or two people in each town have miraculously gained the information to run the machines inside the Pokemon Centers.

Also items that did not previously exist have been appearing in shops and the owners have been selling them. The items are all very different but all seem to be for the use of pokemon. They appear to be made using technology more advanced than our own.

Now the people who knew about pokemon as a fictional idea and what to do with them bought some of the new items, specifially the spherical ones called 'pokeballs', and using them they captured some pokemon. We have gotten all available sources on pokemon and are having them researched now.

Using the pokemon contained in these pokeballs people used the pokemon to fight each other and make their pokemon stronger, some of them changing forms in rapid evolution. People who had the strongest pokemon opened facilities called 'Pokemon Gyms'. These are places where people come to battle their pokemon to make them stronger. The best battler stays in the gym and travellers challenge him or her to battles for a symbol they have defeated a strong trainer, usually a badge.

We have seen the potential danger in these gyms and have had them all closed. Furthermore, we see all pokemon as a threat to our existance and therefore, need to be eradicated. We urge for this to be passed.

-Top Secret Document written to the Prime Minister of Australia

Ok your characters will know all of that mentioned above except for the part about eradicating all pokemon. Your characters also know that the gyms were closed but then started working underground. (Underground as in secret, not underground as in under the ground in a hole)

You are a new trainer aged 15-18 that is about to recieve your first pokemon from Professor Minty. (If you notice something keep it to yourself) He has a wide array of pokemon to choose from but alot of rare pokemon he doesn't have so don't go choosing really rare pokemon. You are going to go around beating the underground gyms (there is no elite four.... not yet any way) but you may get side tracked. A lot of the people that are involved in pokemon will be quite young as alot of the older people didn't get into pokemon. The 'Professor' isn't actually a recongised professor but he does have an extensive knowledge of pokemon and he is 20 years old.

Here's the sign up stuff. There is limited spaces for this RPG but only the people I accept will get in, not necessarily the first people to post their characters. When I post my character I will not allow any sign ups after that time.

History: A typical teenager, though a bit "strange in the head" from being an outcast, he considers his old self no more, as Robert would never have the spine to go off on some adventure. He simply packed up from his home, and left without a word, hoping to obtain truly powerful pokemon, to help him reach his dream of an organized "league" of pokemon trainers, the best of the best.

OOC: This will be more like the anime than the games, right? EX: I don't have to trade a scyther with metal coat to someone else to make it a scizor, right?

[Ytnim]

Ok no more sign ups unless someone pulls out. Some of you need to adjust your sign ups a tad and then we can get started.

Max Hunter: Good. Short IMO but its fine.

Dragon Paw: Good. Short IMO but its fine.

Shineyelectrode: I like your character and I will take aspects from both the games and the anime but no 'trade' evolutions will be in this. So traded pokemon just evolve like a normal level up evolution, trade item pokemon just put the item on them for a while and they will evolve.

Kristofer: I think you need to read the plot again and adjust your history. Pokemon have only been in the real world for 4 months but your history says you have had a pokemon for 3 years.

paige pelletier: You need a description, personality and a history to be able to join. And you need to change your pokemon, Max Hunter already has a pikachu and I don't want two people having pokemon in the same evolution line.

espeon and umbreon: You need to read the plot and adjust your history accordingly. And a bagon is too rare, eevee is ok though.

Ok here's my sign up. I will also control Prof. Minty.

Name: Christopher Morris Miller

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Physical Description: His hair is a dark blonde, light brown colour. It is usually held in place with hair product. His eyes are a light blue and seem to reflect everything. A brown T-shirt covers his muscular torso and on top of that is a brown jacket with two white stripes running down its arms. If the weather gets warm he rolls the jacket sleeves up to his elbows. His black jeans cover his legs and his shoes are brown street shoes.

Personality: He is a natural leader and seems to take control in every situation. He is helpful and friendly to everyone including complete strangers. He is very energetic and loves sport. He works out once a day to keep himself at peak physical condition. Has a tendancy to rush forward without thinking but it will always be for the good of someone else. His emotions can get the better of him and may do things that he regrets afterwards. He is willing to stick up for anyone and anything smaller or weaker than himself even when the odds are against himself. He is also a bit gullible and so can be confused easily.

Pokemon Starter: Taillow

History: Pretty much a normal school kid, played heaps of sport. He has never played pokemon before in his life but when they became real they somehow fasinated him.


I forgot to put in the first post that (if you didn't already know) this will take place in Australia. I will use real city/town names but you don't need a map or anything. Also time taken to travel will be shortened so we are not always travelling. We will start in the state of Tasmania (the little island under the Australian mainland) and work our way around.

[paige pelletier]

hee I changed it! waits............

 

[espeon and umbreon]

I'm going to change it. But Bagon is I guess rare in games, but what about anime?

 

[paige pelletier]

Live RP! It almost died!

 

[Ytnim]

OOC: I think everyone has made the appropriate adjustments and we are now ready to begin. Oh yeah Burn Starcofski you're in. We are in a city called Hobart but on the outskirts, the suburbs more than the real city. You are making your way to the Professor's "lab" (It's not much more than a big shed) for some reason or another. Later on our character's might get split up into smaller groups just to liven the RP up a bit. Any groups our characters are put in will be completely random, I'll be just pulling names out of a hat.

IC: Chris was puffing and panting as he jogged along the side of the road. It was kind of quiet as it was only about 6:30 in the morning and the sun was only just visible above the hills but there was enough light to see. Chris rounded a corner, checking his watch as he did. The watch was timing his daily run along with his heart beat. He was lagging a bit from yesterday so he picked up the pace slightly, his heart rate rising in accordance.

Chris came to stop outside of one of the houses on the road. Number 13 declared the letter box which was situated in front of a large white picket fence. Chris made his way up the drive-way which was on an upward slant and opened the front door quietly, slipping inside. He went to the kitchen and opened the door to the fridge, the light glaringly showing him the contents. Grabbing the water jug he fetched himself a glass from a cupboard and poured himself a glass. Skulling the first glass he poured another, this time he slowed down. Putting the jug back in the fridge, Chris retreated downstairs to where his bedroom was. He grabbed some clothes on the end of his bed and walked to the room next to his, a bathroom.

After finishing his shower, cleaning his teeth, etc, Chris went back upstairs and flopped down in front on the TV, watching the cartoons which were on. He wasn't particularly interested in them but he watched all the same. The show finished soon and the clock on the wall showed it was around a quarter to eight and so turning off the TV, Chris fixed himself some breakfast. It wasn't much, a couple of pieces of toast, a bowl of cereal and a milo but Chris never had much of an appetite. He took his food back to the couch and laying down, began to eat.

Paige woke up early her parents smiled and said their good byes Paige got to the lab and said "um.........Prof. I was wondering if you need any help since I will be getting my first pokemon I just wanted to make sure I earned it!"

 

[PikaPal]

ooooooooh, this looks like fun. I know you only said that a few people can play, so PM me if someone drops out!!

 

[Dragon Paw]

I woke up at seven in the morning as I usually did. I stretched and then got out of my bed. I walked through my messy room and into a hall. I walked down the hall to the kitchen where I ate a nice breakfast of toast and cereal.

After that I checked the wall clock to confirm it was now half past seven. I got up and cleaned off my dishes and then wlaked down the same hal lagain until I came to a stairwell. I walked up the stairs to come to another hall. This one had two rooms brnaching off of it. I walked into the room on my left. I came into a room with a television. I turned it on to watch various cartoons I liked to pass the time.

It kept me occupied until eight. By then I decided I better get going. I walked out of the room and down the stairs and through my hall way to the final door and exited.

 

[Burne Starcofski]

(Thanks for the late entry Ytnim! I owe ya one.)

A clock ticked, setting off the 7AM morning alarm. The person to hear it, however, was already up and about. He walked over and pushed the switch to "off".

Although I set the alarm, it's only for show. I realy like waking early to greet the rising, red sun of the Horizon. But my parents, liking to sleep in, said 7 at the earliest. But it was pretty to look at, I couldn't help myself.

As I walked towards the kitchen, the shades scattered the sunlight into parralel bars, casting stripes over the floor and walls. Slightly more humid than where I used to live, the air was thick and smelled like morning dew from the underbrush. Thankfully, moving didn't mean I had to give up what I liked. After buttering the toast I had placed in the old toaster, then adding my personal Cinamon-Sugar compound, I sat at the petite table with a glass of half-cold milk.

(Oops, I did three perspectives instead of one, sorry!)

 

[paige pelletier]

I helped get the lab clean and just helped then I waited for the other trainers...........

 

[Ytnim]

Chris finished his breakfast as his parents were just getting up. He left his stuff on the bench, not bothering to clean up. His parents staggered into the room but Chris just smiled.

"Morning sleepy heads!" he said cheerfully, his parents putting their hands to their ears.

"Not so loud please, I've got a splitting headache." his father groaned, falling into his chair.

"Serves you right for being out all night!" Chris said, not turning the volume down on his voice, just as cheerfully as before. "Anyway I'm going out, see you two later, if you don't go back to bed."

Chris left his home and walked down his street, whistling as he went. He didn't get very far before he heard a chirping noise in a tree beside him. Looking up he saw a big blue bird sitting in the branches. Chris realised this was a pokemon but he had no idea what its name was but he didn't care. He held out his arm for the flying pokemon to land on and to his suprise it did! It hopped along his arm until it sat squarely on his shoulder.

"Hey little fella', do you have a name?" Chris asked the taillow, not sure if it understood him or not.

It just chirped, it looked like it was smiling but wasn't since it didn't have a mouth, only a beak. In any case, it looked happy enough.

Chris had heard about a guy who knew heaps about pokemon and who lived nearby so he headed in that direction, maybe he could get some answers about this bird.
