Journey for the Shadow Blade

Storyline
The Apocalypse Crystal was said to have been destroyed the last time that the ancient Pok?mon Jirachi awoke from its thousand-year-long hibernation. It was thought that Jirachi's imense power had totally obliterated the Crystal from the world. Of course, nothing could destroy the Crystal that easily. Nothing at all.

The Crystal, it turned out, had only been transported to a different dimension, and a strong one at that. There, it regenerated its energy, by fighting for survival. After acquiring enough power to teleport, the Crystal moved back to its original dimension. The Pok?mon dimension. The transportation from dimensions takes up a lot of energy, and therefore, the Crystal had to go back into hiding.

Among the many sinister organisations, none is more pwerful the Team Apocalypse. Their soul purpose is to capture the Crystal, and use it to awaken Rukario. With both Rukario and the Crystal on their side, they plan on putting the prophecy of the Armageddon into action, destroying the world, and rebuilding it to their liking. They use such brute force, that all the other organisation closed down, allowing Team Apocalypse free rule of the land.

Natrually, the Crystal does not wan't to do the biding of Team Apocalypse, so consequently, the Crystal went further into hiding. There is only one sole object that can match the raw power of the Crystal. And that is called the Shadow Blade. But the Shadow Blade itself is not a happy birdie. If its weilder does not have suficient amount of mind power, the Shadow Blade's dark nature shall swallow up the wielder.

There are only five people in the entire world who can use the Shadow Blade. You are one of them, but before you join, please remember, you must put your heart into this, and not abbandon (sp?) the quest.

Other Information About the Role Play

One liners will not be tolerated in this Role Play. It can be comedial, but remember to always be descriptive in anything. Battles, emotional scenes, the works.

You may have more than six Pok?mon, and utilise a box. However, you may only carry six Pok?mon at a time

The Role Play begins in Pallet Town, and everyone knows each other.

This Role play is based in the future, and many new cities and settlements have sprung up, while others have been demolished

Information on the new cities, and the demolished ones

"Viridian City Ruins"
Viridian City as been left comletely destroyed by Team Apocalypse's intentions. There is nothing left of this wonderful city but barren land. Hidden, however, beneath the city are complex underground living quarters where people who are fighting against Team Apocalypse (The Rebellion) have made their base. The Role Play will include journeying int the underground living quarters.

"Jacaranda Town"
Jacaranda Town is a small town that has sprung up just south of Celadon City. It is a Kanto version of Fortree City, because the people of this town have learnt to live life in tree houses. The centre of the town is a large Jacaranda Tree (giving the town its name) which all of the inhabitants worship. The Role Play will include finding out what makes the people of Jacaranda Town worship the tree

"Indigo Plateau Transformation"
Indigo Plateu was destroyed by Team Apocalypse, so no more League tournaments could be held there. Of course, the inhabitants of Indigo Pateu did not tolerate this, and have built a second city on top of the ruins in memory of the first. This new city (also called Indigo Plateau) is no where near as magnificent as the original one, but is a start. The Role Play will involve going there to fend off the continuous attacks by Team Apocalypse.

That's it for now...

Interesting.....I can see you type a lot.

Name: Trinity Aurora Moon (Charon)
Age: 16
Gender: Female

Appearance: The way Charon looks, it makes a difference, no? Her long black hair is stabilized with a silver hair clip. Her height is in the middle, out of a normal group of trainers, and it makes the similarity. Charon has light skin, but has no interest in wearing make-up or jewelry. She wears a semi-black and semi-silver shirt, no sleeves, but two spaghetti straps are twisted around Charon's neck to surround it. In the middle there is a white diamond in circle form.

Occasionally Charon would wear a white skirt with black and silver linings at the sides, with an amethyst belt, but sometimes, she wears dark blue shorts, and she hides it with a silver three-layered demi gypsy skirt that covers her left leg. She also wears black boots that literally cover the legs down from the knees. Charon also wears black armbands on her arms, complete with a twisted corner.

Personality: Charon puts herself to the limits of emotion. She's ideal in some ways, and all determined. She thinks to it as if she knows what she's doing, but in this case, it's for the actual deal. In her past, Charon was always a bad sport, though, because she knew that her missions were going to be for her own destiny, not for the fun of it. This was the real deal, and Charon already knew what was going on.

Pokemon:

Name: Shadow (Umbreon)
Gender: Female
Personality: Shadow always says unusual comments, but only Charon knows what she means.

Name: Paine (Misdreavus)
Gender: Female
Personality: Hence the name, Paine will do whatever it takes to make Pokemon and Trainers stop abusing her.

Name: Inferno (Typhlosion)
Gender: Male
Personality: Despite the fact that Inferno is the only male Pokemon in Charon's team, he can make fire attacks into good use.

Name: Mystic (Beautifly)
Gender: Female
Personality: Mystic was always a good battler. Her attacks made it up to the requirement (that's what Charon thought).

Name: Starlight (Dragonair)
Gender: Female
Personality: Starlight was recgonized for her glamourous looks. Charon always thought that she obtained Starlight from a Christmas wish.

Name: Plus (Plusle)
Gender: Female
Personality: Plus is always upbeat and energetic. She makes it through with a blast of good electricity.

History: He was a trainer like others who started with him to the big journey of collecting pokemon and he wanted to go to the pokemon league. But he met a lot of corrupt and criminal poeple which showed him another way to reach his goals. He was just a kid, and so he followed the man with the red "R" and got on the wrong site of his path of life. He was a trained and successfully rocketmember who had no heart. But as he catched the pokemon he has now, they showed him a better path. Now he leaved the Rockets and he seeks the ultimate challence to proof his knowledge and strenght. He isn?t as dark as he was ago, but he has a mysterious style. At the top of that he wants to beat Team Apocalypse because he believes that this is the ultimate challenge…

Pokemon:

Pichu (Kami)
History: Kami was the first pokemon he had. They became very good friends and together they believe they are unstopable. On the top of that, they are joker...

Raichu (Uziel)
History: Kami knew where a pichu would hide, so they found one easily. Uziel is a member of Amarezoths pokemon "family" and he was the first one he catched.

Persian (Silver)

Jolteon (Iribaar)
History: After his Team Rocket time, he decided to help more than do bad things. So the evee he got was a gift from an old woman to Amarezoth, who helped her to to pay her guilt she had.

History: Pidgeot
Pidgey was the first pokemon leanardo caught, that special bond has never died, and pidgeot is with the possible exception of venusaur, leanardos most loyal pokemon.

Name: Kaika Kurogane
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Pokemon Team:
Scizor
Gender - Male
Personality - Scizor is of the "lone swordsman" mentality. He is independent and will often wander alone, following Kaika at a distance until called to battle.
History - Kaika and Scizor met when Scizor was still a Scyther. Though first opponents, when Kaika and Scyther were both captured by Team Apocalypse, the two enemies agreed to work together to escape. Afterward, they became allies until Scyther eventually agreed to "be captured" by Kaika.

Glalie
Gender - Female
Personality - Though savage and carnivorous by nature, Glalie has developed a strong loyalty toward Kaika as well as a strange form of affection. Glalie is highly jealous and protective of her master.
History - As a Snorunt, Glalie met Kaika in a mountain blizzard after she had been trapped beneath several fallen rocks. Kaika saved her and healed her, then accepting her as a member of his Pokemon team. After Glalie evolved, and her nature transformed, she attacked Kaika and gave him a scar across one of his eyes. Later, after being "re-tamed", she felt deep remorse for her action. Now, the wound she gave her master has increased her loyalty toward him.

Houndoom
Gender - Male
Personality - Clever, perceptive, and a lover of battle, Houndoom is willing to accept most any challenge from an opponent.
History - After Houndoom--previously Houndour--was separated from his pack, Kaika found him wandering alone.

Gyarados
Gender - Male
Personality - Calm and slightly withdrawn, Gyarados seems far more docile than any others of his kind. Obedient to Kaika, Gyarados will release his fury if his master is endangered.
History - When Kaika found Gyarados, he was already in his evolved form. Living alone in a lake after his ferocity and driven out all other inhabitants, Gyarados occasionally attacked the nearby town before withdrawing to his sanctuary. Hearing of this, Kaika sought out Gyarados. And, as Gyarados' jaws snapped onto his shoulder, Kaika raised one hand and lightly touched Gyarados' head, taming him (see Kaika's bio, "Personality").

Sandslash
Gender - Male
Personality - A hard worker and skilled fighter, Sandslash lacks much confidence and desires Kaika's approval.
History - Kaika's second Pokemon, Sandslash was found by Kaika as a young Sandshrew. Born frail and weak, Sandshrew was abandoned. However, being born similarly, Kaika felt able to identify with Sandshrew. So, he raised and cared for him until he became stronger. Then, Sandslash joined Kaika's team.

Dragonair
Gender - Male
Personality -
History - While still a Dratini, Dragonair became Kaika's first Pokemon. When he was young, Kaika was physically frail and confined to a wheelchair. One day, he heard reports of a strange energy at his town's edge. The townspeople were nervous and feared that the energy might be a sign of coming destruction. Curious, Kaika ventured into the forest that edged his town, searching for the source of this energy. Upon entering a dark cave, Kaika's wheelchair fell over, throwing the boy to the ground. It was then that Kaika found a lone Dratini, curled and suffering. As with many Dratini, this one had an intense storage of energy. But, it had, as of yet, been unable to shed the extra energy. Kaika dragged himself to the lone dragon and lightly touched him. At that moment, the extra energy flowed into Kaika, granting him the ability to walk.

Personality: Kaika is naturally level-headed and calm, though a determined and focused worker. While he may seem somewhat cold to most people, he is willing to help when it is needed most. Kaika has high standards for both himself and his Pokemon and may, occasionally, become too focused on his goals and push himself too hard. Despite this, though, Kaika seems to have a "calming effect" on Pokemon and is said to be able to tame any Pokemon, no matter how wild. The most that is ever required for Kaika to tame a Pokemon is a light touch of his hand. Because of his ability to calm Pokemon, Kaika specializes in training Pokemon that are naturally savage in nature.

More to be added, but posted as a "Placeholder".

OOC: All accpeted! Time to start!

IC:

Jake stood, leaning against the tree trunk of a large spreading oak to get out of the downpour. HE had sent out letters to all of his closest friends, telling them to meet him at Route On, just north of Pallet Town. Four of them had replied, saying that they would come. They knew that this was going to make all of them famous.

He smiled at the irony. He had chosen this day to start, because the weather reportes had reported a clear and sunny day. Just goes to show that you should never trust any weather reports. Definitely not if they were run by Team Apocalypse anyway.

Jake brushed a strand of hair from his face, hoping that he wouldn't have to wait too long for his friends to come. if h had to stay under the tree for another half-hour, he would ?

"Calm down, Jake," he muttered to himself.

Just then, he looked up, and saw a head pop up over the horizon...

Miles away from the town of Pallet, the rain was still pouring down with extreme force, rikashaying off roofs, tree branches and the floor so hard that each drop would seem to bounce a little, and make the sound like small pebbles being dropped.

Suddenly, from the direction of the sun a small object was to be seen and it begun to approach us, growing bigger and bigger with each passing second, soon it was evident that the object was a pokemon, a giant pidgeot! no doubt at least 3 times bigger then any normal one! it made a slight change of direction and headed towards a mountain far away, atop the pokemon stood a man, wearing a long coat swaying hard in breeze, as if pleading to go the opposite way. the man continued to sare away at the forward direction, not really taking anything he saw into consideration as he was so lost in thought. *not long to go now* the man thought to himself as the pidgeot soared upwards and behind a clowd out of sight.......

OOC: Well, that head was supposed to be one you you guys so...I can't really do anything.

OOC: Right, well, I'll make that into some dude from Team Apocalypse.

IC:

As the figure neared, Jake looked at his jumper. It was brown in colour, mud brown for that matter, and in the centre was a blood-red A. "A" for "Apocalypse".

Jake plucked a pok?-ball from his belt. He knew that the rain would help to boost up water attacks, and if they did, he would have a lot offun in taking down the Apocalypse member.

"Go...Wave-Rider!"

A girl walked around in the rainy forest. She knew what was her destiny this time. Team Apocalypse, the dreaded team who destined for the Shadow Blade. The girl knew that this could not be done. Only could her group find the Shadow Blade first and find the Apocalypse Crystal as well. Fortunately, her Pokemon were strong enough to show some ability. The girl's name was Charon, and her attitude towards this team would be the utmost perspective. Charon's sidekick was her Umbreon, Shadow. Sending it out, she also sent out a Misdreavus, Paine. The two Pokemon looked at the scenery and examined it.

occ: um... deathspector, i tried to link with your last sentence: "...as he noticed a person leaning against a tree". I thought you are leaning against a tree. But it Is equal now i think... ^^

occ: Can?t wait...

Amarezoth got near the person under the tree and saw that he got ready for fight. "Jake! What are you doing?" he laughed as he arrived him. "Thats a weird method of greeting a friend... next time you choose a day with good weather ok?" Amarezoth looked at Kami, who watched him since a couple of minutes. "Why are you staring at me?" {Ask me that question again, then i?ll eat you...}. He heard a grumbling from the stomache of his friend. "So you are hungry?" {I could eat a Persian...} "Here you go..." Amarezoth said and pulled a sandwich out of his backpack. Kami started to eat it imideatly.

Amarezoth turned to Jake. "So it?s true eh? You are serious this time... "

"[Interesting. The rain can be a sign of the Crystal's power.]" Shadow said.

"[The storm is hard, all right. Not everyone is out this long.]" Paine added.

"Fine then. We'll head for shelter. We're close to Pallet." Charon decided.

She returned Paine back into her PokeBall. This time, she sent out her Beautifly, Mystic. Shadow nuzzled Charon's leg and Mystic flew and sat on her head. The group head off to go find somewhere that was safe and warm, hopefully Charon knew her whereabouts in the forest.

[OOC: I apologize for being late. ^-^;; I also apologize for the lack of quality in this post. Currently, I am not fully conscious . . . ]

"You should be able to walk now. But, just in case, try to avoid any strenuous activity for the next few days. Alright?"

Kaika knelt on the forest floor beside a young Rattata. As the male tightened the bandage about the wild Pokemon's foreleg, he offered the rodent his final advice, "If you can, find a good place to hide. That way, you won't need to run from any predators." Lightly stroking Rattata's head, Kaika stood and slung his backpack over one shoulder. Smiling softly, the trainer turned away as the Rattata clicked a farewell, finishing, "Well, that's that. Goodbye and good luck."

Shouldering his pack, Kaika vanished into the surrounding forest. After several minutes, the shafts of light that broke through the forest canopy faded to a dim grey. And, as he made his way through the verdant foliage, the male paused as he felt a drop of water strike his cheek. Staring toward the sky above, Kaika shielded his eyes as the rain began to thicken and increase--running off leaves in thick, swift streams. Narrowing his eyes slightly, Kaika unconsciously touched one the Pokeballs clipped at his side. This is an interesting weather anomaly . . . One that does not bode well.

OOC: God, I haven't posted in ages. Sorry about that, Nigma, but I'm in the middle of a batle as you can plainly see...I'll add you in, though...

IC:

Wave-Rider was winning. I actually felt sorry for the member of Team Apocalypse. You see, the only Pok?mon he had was a Houndour. Weak against water. Already the rain was bother the small dog, but add Wave-Rider's powerful Hydro Pumps, and it was agony.

"Finish it off. One last Hydro Pump!" I commanded, pointing my index finger at the wounded Houndour.

Wave-Rider aimed his cannons at the Houndour. The Pok?mon was pleading with his trainer to recall him, but the trainer wouldn't listen. Wave-Rider let out a roar that even made me shiver, and shot out a jet of sparkling water from each of his cannons. They hit the poor Houndour, and he wailed in pain. Finally, he trainer realised that he had lost, ad held up hi pok?-ball to recall him.

A beam of red light shot out of the Team Apocalypse member's pok?-ball, and the Houndour was dissolved into the light. I clenched my fist, yelling a few cenored words at the member. he took it as a rather rough goodbye, and sped off.

Just then, I turned to my right, and saw my old friend Amarezoth. At least he had made it to pallet Town, despite the dismal weather.

"Jake! What are you doing? Thats a weird method of greeting a friend... next time you choose a day with good weather okay?" he suggested.

That was Amarezoth for you. Forever trying to joke. Funny how I always ended up the subject of the joke, really.

"Don't blame me, mate. Blame it on those **** weather reports," I replied. "Anyway, glad that you made it here in one piece. My house is just down the road...I'll wait for the others."
