PROLOGUE: THE WILD NORTH
J uly 1st, Somewhere at the North of Kanto. A team of scientists - experts on many different fields - decide to embark in search for the elusive Pokémon, spoken only in legend: Mew. While they had no idea of how Mew looked, or if it even existed to begin with, their desire of finding it was strong. And as such, by gathering clues in many forms and shapes - primarily ruins and drawings embossed in walls - they managed to track a potential location for the hundred and fiftieth Pokémon.
It was a small, uninhabited and rather secluded piece of land north of the Kanto region. They arrived at a very dense forest where drawings of what they assumed would be Mew were scattered in enormous amounts across the many trees and different kinds of foliage. One of the members of this crew - a field scientist known as Sylvia, managed to catch a glimpse of a pink, semi-feline figure hovering around the woods, a sparkling trail of lights left behind its every move as it moved graciously around the woods. After what felt like hours of playing cat and mice, Mew managed to elude the scientists and their curious eyes. Getting to catch a small glimpse of the mythical Mew, however, was enough to prove them that their work had not been in vain, and that they still had a long way to go before finally getting Mew.
All they had to do know was find Mew once more. That wouldn't be so hard, right?
The task in itself, as well as ensuring survival, were both proving to be very difficult to the team. They decided to settle in a clearing conveniently found between a forest, a lake and a small mountain range. With their resources and the people willing to help them in their quest to find Mew, they were able to create a comfortable Research Tower where they could continue doing science. Additionally, people who were not devoted to science but still desired to help, began to settle the tower, creating a small town with no name given to it.
While not the actual leader of the group, Sylvia took charge of the crew's duties of finding Mew, since she had been closest to the elusive creature than any other member, and as such she would easily recognize it if they were to stumble upon it. A year went by and the small town of no name grew up considerably, with people actually staying within the settlement for good.
The town - now becoming a city - was the first and only settlement within the land, and as such the locals began calling it the Holon City and Holon Region, respectively. For those who are not acquainted with philosophy, a Holon is something that is both a whole and a part of.
Another year went by, and no progress had been made in tracking Mew.
In a rather desperate attempt to find the elusive Pokémon, the crew of scientists decided to make use of the unique magnetic properties of the region, and began to broadcast a series of electromagnetic waves around the land. If their hypothesis was correct, the series of waves would begin to draw nearby Pokémon towards the tower - Mew itself included. It seemed like a perfect plan to everyone, and hope was achieved when Pokémon slowly began to roam round the city with increasing frequency. The strength of the signal was very elevated, however, and its effects were eventually seen on the Pokémon drawn by it.
It wasn't a mutation that could be appreciated at plain sight, but rather a mishap in the genetic structure of the Pokémon. Told in simpler terms, the signal sent was so strong that it literally managed to change a Pokémon's type, move set and weaknesses. While it is amusing to see a Steel/Grass Feebas splashing around, and the Pokémon from Holon are docile enough to not hurt a Ledyba even when they now know Hyper Beam, it was an even more unusual happening that drove scientists and citizens of Holon alike away from the region.
As it turns out, the signal, combined with the magnetic properties of the ground would react in a rather peculiar way, sending strong outbursts of electricity around that would destroy everything in their way. One outburst in its own doesn't make much damage, but the amount of these that popped up around Holon were enough to give place to the first "Electromagnetic Storm" that the region would suffer.
Everyone but Sylvia returned home, the latter suddenly vanishing as she was searching the woods once more, never to be seen again.
The signal that was broadcast from the tower was never turned off, and only did so when the research tower ran out of power. It was probably on for at least a year before this occurred. And it wasn't until about a decade later that people found the tower and the strange Pokémon of Holon once more...

01 - A MAN'S SPEECH
"H ello? Is this thing on? It better be, I'm paying some good money for this broadcast! It is? Oh... Well, do I still need to do the whole "testing, testing, 1, 2, 4" thing? No? I see," The seemingly pointless self-argument continues as the man of average height begins to ponder whether to skip testing or do it for testing's sake. A slight breeze of wind blows across the clearing where they're at, lazily, caressing the grass around the camera crew and the man. His polar-white messy hair and thick beard gently fluttering from one side to another.
Sliding his hand across his expensive caramel suit - as to get rid of any dust in it - he gathers his bearing at last. Stepping forward to a microphone held in mid-air, he finally begins his speech, a myriad of cameras pointing at him from all angles imaginable.
"Why hello there, fellow adventurers within the World of Pokémon! It is I, the one and only Nikolai Jaywalker, bringing forth to you a very elusive offer I'm sure you won't be able to deny, but firstly: have you all heard of Mew? I'm sure you have, and I refuse to further interact with you if you haven't. In any case, I shall assume you have indeed heard about it, and that's good because I have a juicy offer for you! Yes, you, the person who is hearing me and wondering 'Why is this man talking so loudly?'! I should say now that it's a birth defect and I cannot help but sound overly excited when I talk - even though I'm actually pretty depressed most of the time -. I should also continue talking about the offer I mentioned earlier!
"While Mew is acknowledged as an actual Pokémon, no one has ever managed to find or even see one of them - scientists don't even know if there are more than one!-, Thus leaving a lot of people to think that it never existed in the first place. I refuse to stay abide by such maddening "facts" and I'm sure you do too! And this is why I, the great and wealthy Nikolai, am willing to start a little contest I like to call "Go Catch Me A Mew Or I'll Hunt You Down In Your Sleep With An Axe"!
"It's simple: all you have to do is embark on a journey to a land you have never been to with absolutely any resources or Pokémon and then catch a mirage Pokémon that may not even exist at all! Aren't you just excited right now?! ... I'm kidding of course; you can take up to two Pokémon with you. Everything else is true, however, so you may want to prepare emotionally for all that stuff...
"Anyways, as I was saying, the lab people I know have reasons to believe that Mew is located in a secluded land north of Kanto. Their reasoning is, of course, a shameless rip-off of an investigation gone wrong that recently got uncovered and shed light upon - You know how lazy those science people tend to get, always looking for something to take credit for -. It turns out the people that were in this land some years ago were very desperate to find Mew and ended up sending weird signals full of sciency stuff that forced Pokémon to mutate in a futile attempt to locate Mew.
"But don't worry; they didn't get an additional limb or a third eye. In fact, this mutation changed their types and other unimportant stuff I'm sure you don't care about. That means that, if you agree to go to this place, you will find Pokémon that are different to those you already own and could leave those you have in your party in eternal shame forever and ever!
"Those who volunteer will be packed and sent all the way to this region place, called Holon for some reason which I don't really understand, we will then give you some Pokeballs and hope you can catch us a Mew! Everything else you obtain will be yours to keep, as well as a reward for kindly delivering Mew to us once it is held within your clutches!
"... So who's excited? I know I am, I'm always excited when I spend enormous amounts of money in a poorly ethic cause! See my representatives at the nearest dock of your region for registration folks; I know you'll be there!"
A fascinating fellow, indeed. As the broadcast that interrupts your favorite TV show ends, you decide to shrug off that lunatic's offer, which you're not quite sure you understood quite right. Sending any fool who would walk up the docks to a land filled with mutations just because he wants to save the time of going there himself? Talk about a lazy guy.
But a thought also crosses your mind, swiftly and rather in-adverted. He seems to be so invested in sending random people to an exciting new place with elusive Pokémon... Can it be so bad? Is it really not worth going, or will be just as exciting as he assures it to be?
You decide to go about your regular day, minding your own business around your hometown. By some mean or another you decide to give this whole travel thing a go, regardless of your age and, eventually arrive at the docks of your respective region, being received by fellows as wacky as the man on the TV, dressed in attire that is colorful and informal, with beach shorts of very shiny green, and an equally shiny blue sleeveless shirt that mercilessly murders the eyes of those watching.
In no time, you are about a very large luxury ship, en route to the mysterious land of Holon and the many mysteries waiting within.

EX01 - GAMEPLAY
On October, 2005, the EX Delta Species Booster Pack of the Pokémon Trading Card Game was released. It was an oddity in many aspects, primarily the fact that the Pokémon cards within were denominated to be "Delta Species Pokémon" and had types their regular counterparts would never have, as were their attacks and weaknesses. It was also the first time a Pokémon card had a dual typing, as most Delta Species are half Steel-type (Metal-type in the TCG, for some reason). This booster and several that were released afterwards focused in a fictional, TCG-exclusive region called Holon. Holon is inhabited after failed attempts of finding Mew caused the aforementioned mutations on Pokémon, and the region is home to a wide array of Pokémon, both regular and Delta Species.
This Roleplay is heavily inspired by this concept, and rightfully so, as the region you will explore is the same, as will be most of the Pokémon you'll encounter. Of course, there will be Delta Species and regular Pokemon from Generations 4 to 6, for convenience's sake. You can also expect Fairy-type Delta Species here and there.
For an even more convenient gameplay we shall follow the Stats and Attacks from the X & Y Pokedex of Serebii.net. But since these are Delta Pokemon we're dealing with, you can expect your Pokemon to learn some funky moves as they increase their levels. Some custom moves will pop up here and there, but rest assured they will be explained with as much detail possible when they do. A summary of custom moves will also be made in a single post, which will in turn be linked to the IC Thread for future reference.
The story is mostly set within the Holon region, with all places described in the TCG - as well as some custom ones - available for exploration at any time. The layout of Holon will be detailed as we progress within the IC Thread, as will the contents of every sector found in it, such as Pokemon, important NPCs, events and so on.
The main goal of the Roleplay is simple: find Mew and then catch it. This is only the outermost layer of the plot, however, so be sure to expect more stuff as we move on - antagonists, encounters with other legendaries and even Battle Competitions are amongst the things you should see in the upcoming chapters and story arcs -.
You are allowed, and even encouraged to elaborate plots of your own as you trek across the Holon region, as well as to make any suggestions on events you would like to see and think could be implemente. Questions are also a thing we look forward too, so make sure to throw a bunch of them at us!

EX02 - MECHANICS
- If you want to encounter a Pokémon, your post must end hinting the encounter (grass rustling as the player walks near, something popping out of the water, or any other way you can think of). A reply by TheSnivyMaster will be formulated shortly after you do this with the Pokémon you find.
- Different members of a same species of Pokémon can sometimes be of a different type. Such is to say that you may find a Normal-type Magikarp, or a Dragon-type Magikarp in the exact same place. This is governed by way of RATIOS that determine the frequency of types. In the above example, Normal Karps have an 80% ratio while the other 20 are Dragon types. When an encounter is about to posted, TheSnivyMaster will randomly pick the type of the Pokémon you find, taking the ratios of a species into account. You could, however, ask for a different type when the encounter is made so long as you provide logical reasoning. The decision TheSnivyMaster takes is final and if he agrees to change the type or not is something you simply need to shrug off and keep moving on.
- TheSnivyMaster also has the right of randomly throwing a horde of Fairy/Dragon Magikarp with base 255 Special Attack, Wonder Guard and Draco Meteor at you whenever he pleases, so keep that in mind. Except he isn't that evil. Unless you don't please him. You most likely did something unpleasing to him already, so keep that in mind, too~
- Expanding from the former: Horde Encounters, as well as Double Encounters or just multiple encounters in a row are an actual thing that can happen at ANY given time. These encounters will be assigned indiscriminately, so you better be ready for whatever is thrown at you.
- The Delta Species Booster Packs saw the light on Gen III, but we must consider the physical/special split and the existence of Gen IV-VI mons as a must.
- Levels are granted by the Game Masters as your Pokemon battle or interact with their Trainers in some sort of way (that involves the usage of their moves in some way), as will be the moves they learn. On occasion, we will grant TM moves, Egg Moves, or just moves that a Pokemon wouldn't learn under normal circumstances. Feel free to request a move for your Pokemon to learn, but do give a reason for this. Me and TheSnivyMaster will put your request under consideration and will get back to you as soon as it is possible for us.
- As usual, all rules regarding the Roleplay Corner and Roleplay Lounge, as well as the Global Rules of the Forum apply and should be respected at all times.
- Problems that arise within the Roleplay are to be brought up in Private to the Game Masters, because we don't want no Degrassi-styled drama cluttering our threads.
- This is the OOC (Out of Character) Thread, where we will discuss matters regarding the Roleplay in a friendly manner of style. In-Character content goes in the IC Thread.
- Rating is M for the Mature audiences. Violence, Romance and such are allowed within reason. A smooch and kiss, as well as a slap and punch here and there and more than allowed, just don't abuse them!
- We will review sign-ups whenever a few of them pile-up, this won't be a first-come, first-serve kind of deal, as there truly isn't a maximum number of spots available. If your sign-up is not accepted you are more than encouraged to keep trying until it is :3
- Lastly, make sure to have fun at all times... or else e.e
- We don't really make reservations, and there isn't much of a deadline to submit application forms, so make sure to take your time to properly flesh out your character! You can let us (and others) know if you plan to join and what Pokemon you'll begin with if you wish, but it really isn't that necessary at all~

EX03 - APPLICATION FORM
For the T R A I N E R

Gender. Male, Female, Canadian or otherwise.
Age: Somewhere between 16 and 20. Not more and not less unless you provide a reason strong enough to convince us (hint: you most likely won't). Those who are accepted and sent to Holon should be of reasonable maturity so people below the range of age would not be able to go, and having 30-somethings amongst kids would be a tad bit odd.
Appearance: Any and all physical traits from their head to their toes, what they wear and any other applicable things not mentioned here.
Personality: Their way of behaving on their own, with others and towards their surroundings. Their best traits, skills, and their... ahem, flaws.
Backstory: At least two paragraphs worth of their experiences up to the point in which they embark on the ship, including where they grew up, who they did so with and so on.

For the P O K E M O N
It is our intention that you keep progress of your team of Pokémon throughout the Roleplay either in this space, or on the team update Etherpad, because it just makes everything so much easier for us and for you as well. Fill this base form for every member of your team and add any other details you deem necessary. For convenience's sake, you will only be allowed to take up to two Pokémon (which cannot be Delta Species) at the beginning of the Roleplay and they cannot be evolved (exceptions being those Pokemon that evolve from Baby Pokemon and Pokemon that do not evolve at all).
Nickname: Do not include if they don't have one, which is preposterous because everyone nicknames their Pokémon.
Species: They say a Druddigon is not a Druddigon until you type Druddigon under the Druddigon's nickname.
Type: While this will seem dull at first, you WILL want to keep track of the types of whatever it is you catch in Holon. You is a strong independent Trainer who ain't catching no Normal Type Zigzagoons here!
Gender: Male, Female or Genderless. You can have a Male Pokémon that is 100% Female, so your dreams of having a party of six male Miltank can come true now!
Level: While there really isn't a minimum or maximum cap on the levels of the two Pokémon you begin with, their combined level cannot surpass the number 10 because that's like our favorite number since like forever.
Met At: Simply state where it was found by your character. You don't have to catch both Pokémon, as you could have received them as eggs or gifts, in which case you should specify that in this very same field. You also don't need to stay abide of the locations of Pokémon in the games. So go ahead and catch a Zigzagoon in the Distortion World if you want... Well, don't actually do that but, you get the idea, right? Make sure to state the level they were met at as well (if it was hatched, it can't be anything other than 1, of course).
Ability: Hidden abilities are more than allowed, but don't overdo it.
Moveset: A maximum of six moves, because yes. Moves are not forgotten as we progress so you will have to keep track of which of them your Pokemon can use (expect them to be huge amounts :3)
Other: Anything that does not qualify in the above fields but still has to be mentioned goes here (such as physical traits that differ them from other members of their species, any particular quirks and so on
Nickname: Do not include if they don't have one, which is preposterous because everyone nicknames their Pokémon.
Species: They say a Druddigon is not a Druddigon until you type Druddigon under the Druddigon's nickname.

Misc: Anything about the Trainer that doesn't fit the above fields goes here, and it can be around the same guidelines as the Other section for Pokémon if you deem then required.
Roleplay Sample: Post a link to your most recent post in a Roleplay, regardless of how old it is or where it was posted. This will help us determine if your writing style is adequate and somesuch o3o
Either that or you can just type up something real quick, should you have no posts in a Roleplay, in which case hello new person, we like fresh blood around here. As for this kind of sample, it can be about anything as long as it shows your elegant prose and flowing punctuation.
