Rose Isle Royale

Rose Isle Royale - [ Rated PG-13 ]

No More Applicants. We're closed.

Background:

Rose Isle. To many, this name would incite pleasant feelings. But to the sailors of the world, the name Rose Isle brings to mind feelings of anxiety and fear. Why you ask? Because this island, throughout history, has brought calamity and pain to those unfortunate enough to visit its shores.

The history of Rose Isle is short but frightening. It was discovered about one hundred years ago by the crew of the S.S. Jubilee. From their reports, it was discovered that there was a strange and ominous labyrinth constructed on the island. The outer walls were overgrown with moss and decay. They also reported that a strange smell wafted from the entrance of the labyrinth. Though the crew of the Jubilee were known as some of the hardiest men alive, they refused to enter it. So after a short visit, they quickly sailed away never intent on visiting again.

The next recorded visitors to the island was the luxury liner the "Sundancer." After several days of rainy and turbulent sailing, the crew of the Sundancer decided to give their passengers a break on the nearest island. After an hour or so of sailing, they came upon Rose Isle. Though the rumors had spread across the world, they thought little of them. So they docked on the shores and set the oblivious passengers loose on the island. A family of four, known as the Deckers, ventured further into the island than the rest of the passengers. They came upon the labyrinth, and being the adventurous family that they were, they actually ventured into the labyrinth. But little is known what happened to them after that. A few hours later, the crew of the Sundancer went out to collect all of the passengers. Everyone was accounted for except the Deckers. The whole island was scoured, except for the labyrinth. They screamed their names but got little response. None wanted to go inside and look for them. But then, they heard a scream which was followed by a flurry of franctic-sounding footsteps. Emerging from the entrance came the youngest Decker, bruised and bloodied. They grabbed the boy and asked him where the rest of his family was. But all he did was scream and stare off into space.

And from that day on, no one knew what happened in there. The young Decker lived the rest of his life in an asylum, scarred by whatever happened in that labyrinth. The same happened to whoever was unlucky enough to visit the island. The labyrinth seemed to eat up whoever visited its walls.

This is the reason the Pokemon League of Hoenn decided to hold its biannual Trainers of the Future Showcase here at Rose Isle. It would be the ultimate test of a trainer's virility, intelligence, and skill as a trainer. Any trainer would be accepted as long as they were aware of the perils they were likely to face. They were to find their own way of transportation to the island and registration would occur upon their arrival. Whoever could find out the secrets of Rose Isle would win a fantastic prize and would go down in the history books. This enticing offer, the League hoped, would bring out the best in the Pokemon world and make for the most entertainment...

He was inspired to become an extreme record breaker when he first saw a pokemon league match on TV. Radd set off to become an extreme record breaker at 12 years old. At first many people turned him down because of his young age, but eventually came across an extreme record breaking orginazation that wasn't the smart, and allowed him to join. He quickly became famous by the side of his Ditto. Like most celebrities, Radd let the fame go to his head, which is why he's so obnoxious, rude, and selfish.

AnimeHero: Okay... a few things. You're character does sound interesting, I just need more meat in your sign-up. Where's the history? Where's the personality. I need more than a celebrity and a record-setter. And the Pokemon need more as well. More meat. PLEASE? So... Pending!

Now, here's my profile:

Character's Name: Annalyn Regina Gerundt
Character's Age: 22
Character's Hometown: Snowpoint City, Sinnoh
Character's Title: Doctor
Character's Appearance: Based on appearance, she could pass for the stereotypical cheerleader. Her hair is the shimmering golden blond is that kind of color that poets would write about. She avoids styling it, prefering to let it keep it simple and straight. Her eyes are but two fragile blue crystals set perfectly in her oval-shaped head. Her eyebrows are finely tweezed and arched and her soft, luscious lips are always adorned with coral pink lipstick. Annalyn also wears a pair of circular glasses that sit on the very brim of her nose. It is rumored that she doesn't actually need these glasses but wears them for appearance purposes only, but she refuses to answer these rumors. Her body is lengthy and curvaceous and she stands at the unusual height of 6'1". Like any proper lady, she refuses to reveal her weight, but it can be estimated she weighs around 120 pounds. Upon graduation from medical school, she received a matching set of pearl earrings and necklace, which she still wears to this day. Her clothing suits her profession perfectly. For her shirt she wears a simple white button up long sleeve shirt with a white cami underneath it. She also wears always ironed black slacks and black high heels. She carries with her a black leather purse in which she keeps a notepad, sneakers, money, proper identification, and her various makeup accessories.
Character's Background/Personality: Originally, her parents and grandmother were employed at the Jubilife Medical Center, but found themselves lost in the metropolis. They also wanted a simpler life for their three year old daughter, so they decided to leave their practice and move to Snowpoint City, where they would eventually open a small practice. Her mother, Dr. Grace Gerundt, specialized in human medicine, while her father Dr. Archibald Gerundt and grandmother, Dr. Alicia Gerundt, specialized in Pokemon medicine. The Gerundts settle into their simple life, finding themselves tending to injured travelers who would lose their way in the frigid wilderness that surrounded Snowpoint City. And it was here in Snowpoint City that the young Annalyn flourished. At school, she found herself doing very well in her classes, often getting one of the higher marks amongst her peers on tests. She also grew fond of snowboarding and became quite adept at it. But like any arctic area, they would often experience massive blizzards which would lock up the young Annalyn in her home. And here, while passing the time watching television, is where she fell in love with Pokemon. She would often watched the televised Pokemon Contests from various locations around Sinnoh. It was her dream to become a Pokemon Coordinator one day. So, when she finally reached the age of ten, she embarked on a journey with a Pokemon her father had caught her, and would visit any Contest Hall she could find. Her Pokemon were finely trained using techniques she had learned from the Snowpoint City Gym Leader Candace. Though she was only eleven when she entered her first contest, she managed to place second, defeating other, more experienced coordinators. The words prodigy were thrown about when people described her. She finally won her first contest in Jubilife and from there she went on to win in Eterna City, Solaceon Town, Veilstone City, and Sunyshore City. Finally, she went on to the Grand Festival held in Hearthome City, where she was to perform in front of huge crowds. But she excelled under pressure. She quickly made work of the Appeal Stage and then aptly defeated any trainer who faced her in the Appeal Battles. Finally she reached the finals, where she beat the woman who had defeated her in her first contest and made the young Annalyn, who was only thirteen at the time, the Grand Champion of Sinnoh. She had achieved her dream, but only a month after her win, she began to feel empty again. She needed a new challenge. So, hearing that Gym Battles were entertaining, she decided to embark on the Sinnoh League Challenge. She made quick work of the likes of Roark and his colleagues, even handily defeated her mentor Candace. Upon reaching the League Tournament, a costly mistake cost her in the semifinals and she went home in third place. Now she was seventeen and Annalyn decided to take a break from Pokemon and pursue her other dream as a child: become a Doctor. So she entered the Jubilife Medical School program, intent on majoring in both Pokemon & human medicine. Though it was difficult, she eventually graduated in the Top Five of her class with a degree in both medicinal fields. So she returned to Snowpoint City, and joined her family's practice, where she spent her days until she heard of the Rose Isle Royale. For some reason, she felt compelled to go. She had never heard of the place, and it sounded like a new challenge. So she packed up her Pokemon and her purse and headed to Hoenn. Personality-wise she is a pure A-Type. She's organized, consistent, intelligent, always ready, and perky. Though she likes to relax with some skiing, battling, or dancing, she often feels there needs to be some form of a result out of any activity she is doing. Though a bit bossy at times, she can hold back and not be the leader if she feels she is getting on the nerves of the others.
Et Cetera: During one of her more adventurous moods, she got a tattoo on her left ankle of the Caduceus, the symbol of Medicine.

Species of Pokemon: Abomasnow
Pokemon's Nature/Gender: Brave/Male
Pokemon's Nickname: Abanow
Pokemon's Background/Personality: Before Annalyn could start her journey, she had to have a Pokemon. So, on one of her father's days off, he set out into the wilderness that surrounded Snowpoint with his Yanmega to catch his little girl a Pokemon. They were only gone an hour or so when he returned with a tiny Snover following behind him. He walked the Pokemon over to its new trainer and introduced the two. Though their relationship was a little cold at first, they quickly warmed up after some training with Candace's Abomasnow. Eventually they left Snowpoint City and set off for the Pokemon Contests of Sinnoh. Quickly Annalyn realized Sover was a physical powerhouse through its use of moves like Ice Punch and Wood Hammer. Only recently did Sover evolve into an Abomasnow whilst doing a walk with Annalyn up near Snowpoint. It picked a fight with a group of Sneasel and found itself on the losing end of the fight. Then without warning it evolved and made quick work of the Dark/Ice Types with a series of Brick Breaks. Annalyn preferred to using Abanow in her appeal battles, as it wasn't very graceful in making appeals due to its bulky nature.
Et Cetera: None

Species of Pokemon: Octillery
Pokemon's Nature/Gender: Rash/Female
Pokemon's Nickname: Ollery
Pokemon's Background/Personality: While watching television as a girl, Annalyn came to admire a man who trained a powerful yet graceful Octillery. From that point on, she had hoped to train her own Octillery one day. So, by chance, while swimming in the sea outside of Sunyshore, she was attacked by a wandering school of Tentacool. Frightened and unable to use Sover in the ocean, she called her help. And by chance, she was rescued by a Shock-Wave using Octillery, who did away with the Tentacool. Grateful and relieved, she pulled out a Poffin Block and handed it to the Octillery as a thank you present. As she swam to the shore, she noticed the Pokemon was following her. Then she reached shore and the Octillery sat in the shallow end, staring at her. Eventually she asked it if it wanted to battle and it nodded. However, her Sover made quick work of the Pokemon, and she captured it. Like Abanow, Ollery isn't the most graceful of Pokemon, preferring to rely on pure power in their appeal battles. It isn't all that smart, but it makes up for it in drive and loyalty.
Et Cetera: None

Species of Pokemon: Scyther
Pokemon's Nature/Gender Jolly/Female
Pokemon's Nickname: Syter
Pokemon's Background/Personality: While visiting Goldenrod City in Johto for a Medicine Conference with her parents, Annalyn decided to visit the local Bug Contests held nearby. She entered the contest and embarked on capturing a strong Bug-Type Pokemon. At first she caught a mighty Beedrill but then she caught sight of a Mantis-like Pokemon: Scyther. She chased it and quickly damaged it using Ollery's Flamethrower attack. After capturing it, she released the Beedrill, which was quickly caught by a nearby participant. But upon further inspection of the Scyther, she found the female was kind of underdeveloped for its species, but she fell in love with the Pokemon's charm. She had always been found of Bug-types and Scyther was the epitome of this charm. Though she did eventually lose to the boy who caught her Beedrill, her Syter became an important member of her team, becoming her main Appeal maker. It could dazzle with a series of Swords Dances, Silver Winds, and Double Teams. Despite being with her for a shorter amount of time than her other Pokemon, Annalyn and Syter have the closest relationship.
Et Cetera: None

Character's Name: Aaliyah Life
Character's Age: 15
Character's Hometown: PetalBurg City, Hoenn
Character's Title(if any.. like Sir, Dr., etc...): Miss.
Character's Appearance: Aaliyah has a dark brown complexion, to begin with. Her long hair is a silvery white color and is usually worn down. Aaliyah`s outfit conists of a strapless, back and white, striped shirt. On her left arm, she wears a black arm band near her should and a white wrist band on her wrist. On her left arm, Aaliyah wears a black wrist band on her wrist and a white arm band near her shoulder. Aaliyah also wears baggy blue jeans that usually cover up most of her white gym shoes. Her expression on her face typically reveals her aloof, softspoken personality.

Character's Background/Personality: As a child, Aaliyah was nothing more than a little street urchin who was only accompanied by a Weavile, whom she came to love and care for..like family. She also had to mush to thank the Weavile for, including finding little Aaliyah a family.
It started out as merely another walk, when Aaliyah`s Weavile had wandered off and accidentally cut a fairly old woman. Aaliyah had rushed over to apologize for the accident, and when she was forgiven, was about to leave with her Weavile when the woman stopped her and the Weavile and offered to adopt them.
Aaliyah was almost stunned with shock at this and accepted, though she didn`t sound too excited. Shortly after her being adopted and all, Aaliyah named her Weavile Memory(pronounce Ma-mor-ree, not mem-er-ree) as to help her remember the great favor her little Weavile had unintentionally done.
Eight years later, Aaliyah was now thirteen and leaving home with her loyal Weavile. Her caretaker didn`t mind, and Aaliyah had always wanted to see the world. About a week or two later, the young trainer had come across a vaporeon and pikachu with serious wounds; most likely from being in a fight with a larger pokemon that after defeating them had just left them there. Quickly, she had taken them to the nearest Pokecenter, and instead of her keeping them, they had followed her and young Aaliyah had taken good care of them, naming the vaporeon Dream and the pikachu Dante.
Aaliyah is quite aloof, and often prefers to only put her pokemon in their pokeballs, when she feels they are in great danger. Other than, she`ll let them walk on ground outside their pokeballs.

Et Cetera: Aaliyah`s hair is a natural silvery white.

Pokemon Form-Up to Four Pokemon Allowed:
Species of Pokemon: Weavile
Pokemon's Nature/Gender: Shy/Male
Pokemon's Nickname(If Any): Memory(pronounced Ma-More-Ree)
Pokemon's Background/Personality: Memory had found Aaliyah when she was younger on the street curb, and decided to keep her company. He wasn`t always too keen on being around humans, but he had a good feeling about Aaliyah. And he was right when she had hugged him just for keeping her company. Ever since then, Memory has stayed by Aaliyah`s side through thick and thin, from the time she was a little street urchin, up to the present.
Memory is often shy and doesn`t warm up to new people very quickly.

Et Cetera:Memory the Weavile still finds it funny how he helped Aaliyah find a home by merely scratching a woman on the hand.

Species of Pokemon: Vaporeon
Pokemon's Nature/Gender: Bold/Female
Pokemon's Nickname(If Any): Dream
Pokemon's Background/Personality: Dream had often been traveling with her pikachu friend, Dante. Unlike Dante who found being a wild pokemon slightly bothersome, Dream had always loved the thrill of going on adventures and hitchhiking rides on ships when noone knew. All was fine until she and Dante had been surrounded by a group of Umbreon in the night in the middle of a forest. She had been confident at first, but her self esteem had been dropped when she and Dante were badly beaten and left there uncouncience until morning. That`s when Aaliyah came across them and techically adopted them.
Et Cetera: After traveling with Aaliyah for awhile, Dream`s high selfesteem was brought back.

Species of Pokemon: Pikachu
Pokemon's Nature/Gender: Serious/Male
Pokemon's Nickname(If Any): Dante
Pokemon's Background/Personality: Dante had been traveling with Dream the Vaporeon who found being a wild pokemon the best thing ever. Dante, however, disagreed. He never complained, though, only made smart little remarks and had his doubts. And, his doubts were put to realization when Dream and Dante had been left in the forest by those Umbreon. After being saved by Aaliyah, Dante seems to be much happier with this trainer then he was by himself with Dream in the wild.

Et Cetera: ante can be very jealous of Dreams boldness sometimes.

(Sorry if this seems a little sloppy, it`s late over here.)

Character's Name: Pat
Character's Age: 17
Character's Hometown: Viridian City
Character's Title: Kanto/Johto Champ, though he prefers to be just called Pat.
Character's Appearance: Black shoes with a white tip, and a red tongue, and light blue pants, and a black shirt that extends over the area of where his belt would be. He has black wrist bands, though his right one is a little torn. He has a handkerchief around his neck that is a normal Dark Blue, no designs or anything else. Light brown eyes, and a black hat symbolizing the top half of a Pokeball atop light brown, free style hair. He stands at about 6"2', and he is on the thinner side, weighing at about 112 pounds. Though he may look a little weak, he is rather strong when it comes to fighting. He would rather not look like your typical average 17 year old Douche bag frat boy, like anyone else he knows. He wants the look he has to scream dark, so douche bags will stay away from him. It is impossible to see him with a chord coming from his pocket connected to two headphones that are in his ears, as he keeps an iPod in his pocket along with a butterfly knife he uses for escape situations.
Character's Background/Personality: At age 11, Pat began his Pokemon Journey in Viridian City, going out to Route 1. A Pidgey rose from the grass, attempting to attack him. Pat threw a Pokeball at it, catching it with ease, causing his first Pokemon to be a Pidgey. Ever since then however, Pat has had an incredible skill of Pokemon Battling and Training, barely losing any battles he gets in. When he began his journey, his attire was completely different. White shirt, red hate, black shoes. Due to him barely being able to lose though, people began hating him, though he was never rude about when he wins a battle, never over confident in any situation. When he competed in the Kanto League, he came in third in the Semi-Finals, causing less hate on him for winning. He came in that place at age 12. By age 13, he decided to travel and compete in the Johto Region and League. Extreme hate was dawned upon him for coming in first in the Johto Championships. Living throughout life like this, he is okay with loneliness, though he may tend to lash out at someone. This all makes his personality a rather a Lonely nature. He loves getting in any competition there is, no matter what the risk, always giving him a reason to smile.
Et Cetera: If you prefer to a female as a 'whore' around him, it will anger him and he will lash out at you.

Species of Pokemon: Charizard
Pokemon's Nature/Gender: Boastful, Male
Pokemon's Nickname(If Any):
Pokemon's Background/Personality: When it was just a small Charmander, it often overused its power, picking on any Pokemon it could pick a fight with, overpowering most that came its way. Lived around Cerulean City. Pat saw it after winning his second Gym Badge. He battled it with his Pidgeotto, catching it with ease, then training with it later on during the day, it evolving into a Charmeleon. During the 4th Kanto Gym Battle, Charmeleon was losing. Not wanting to let Pat down, it evolved into Charizard, to win the match and become a vital part of Pats team.
Et Cetera: Rather Reliant.

Species of Pokemon: Absol
Pokemon's Nature/Gender: Lonely, Male
Pokemon's Nickname(If Any):
Pokemon's Background/Personality: After Pat won the Johto League, he decided to go out on a Night in the town, in Viridian City. He went to a building, wanting a soda. Glares were everywhere at him upon entering the building. Someone got infront of him as he walked, telling him to get out once. Pat ignored the person, walking straight past him, then buying a soda. The person knocks it out of his hand, and now both people wanted to fight. Two more people came up, all three unfairly overpowering him, throwing him out of the place, and into an alley. The three were walking towards him cracking knuckles, but an Absol rose from a Dumpster, threatening to use Razor Wind, protecting Pat. The two have been best friends ever since.
Et Cetera: Most reliant member on the team.

Species of Pokemon: Gyrados
Pokemon's Nature/Gender: Lax, Male
Pokemon's Nickname(If Any):
Pokemon's Background/Personality: Before Gym 1 in Kanto, Pat knew he couldn't possibly win with a Pidgey. A Magikarp salesman tricked him into buying a Magikarp. Amazingly, the Magikarp somehow had alot of battle experience, so he did'nt complain. Before the Gym Battle, Gyrados evolved into a Gyrados. The Pokemon in ferociously strong, causing it to be a little to confident from time to time, but it knows when to quit.
Et Cetera: Really Powerful.

Species of Pokemon: Espeon
Pokemon's Nature/Gender: Timid, Female
Pokemon's Nickname(If Any):
Pokemon's Background/Personality: While Pat was 12 and in Kanto, he was in Celadon City. Though the big City, there was a small, Timid little Eevee looking for someone to be its trainer, or even just a friend. Everyone kept rejecting it, few even laughing at it and kicking it. Pat looked down at the Eevee, who was hungry, tired, and crying. Eevee looked up at Pat, as he crouched down, it got scared of him, but he began petting it, and it tackled him, making a Pokeball fall out of his pocket, touching it once, being willingly caught. Eevee's true power shone in Johto. It evolved into Espeon before the Johto Championships, causing it to be a good member of Pats team.
Et Cetera: Scared of huge Pokemon, but never backs down from a fight, though it has'nt had a nice chunk of battle experience yet.

I'm going to rewrite a rejected character for this one, because I liked him so

Name: Timothy Menhod (Min'od)

Age: 20

Hometown: Hamlin town, Hamlin Island

Title: Just Mr.

Appearance: Tim is not overly tall at 6'0, and does not have a very commanding figure. His head is shaven, with only hints of blond stubble beginning to show, and his eyes are a bit odd; his pupils are very milky, and his iris' are a very light gray, and discerning between the two can be hard, which can look a little disconcerting. He is quite skinny at 107lbs, and he doesn't look at all muscular. He dresses smartly in a black suit and crisp white shirt, sleeves rolled to the elbow, and a black silk tie. On his head, he wears a tilted-back black trilby, and he wears clean white trainers with green tongues on his feet. He does not have any tattoos or jewelry, save for a plain silver ring on his right thumb, which he fiddles with when bored or awkward

Background/Personality: Growing up on Hamlin Island, the starting point into the Orange League, Tim was always surrounded by interesting and skilled trainers, which is where his love of Pokemon, and Pokemon training became apparent. He grew up in a traditional-ish family, with his parents and his older brother, Kyle. He always looked up to his brother, and was insanely jealous when he left at ten to become a trainer. He was a strange child; sometimes you could never shut him up, and other times he would be reserved and quiet, not talking unless necessary. At the age of ten, he was taken by boat to Professor Oak's laboratory to receive his first Pokemon, and officially begin his journey, he received a Charmander, who has become like (another) brother to Tim. He successfully gained the Kanto badges, and was favored as the next Champion. He never faced the elite four, and with a 'fight the system' attitude, returned to his hometown instead. He has collected badges from Johto and Hoenn, and is the reigning champion of the Orange League. His personality can be somewhat changeable; one minute he will be jokey and happy, the next he will be quiet and shy. He has been known to voice his opinions when prompted, and while he does not posses the largest vocabulary, he is pleasant to talk to, friendly and charming.

Et Cetera: He has never heard of rose isle, or the many rumors regarding it's past, and he loves Ska music with a passion

Pokemon

Species: Charmeleon
Nature/Gender: Brave/Male
Nickname: Kanabias (usually just 'Nabe')
Background/personality: Nabe was Tim's starter pokemon as a Charmander, and is very attached to it's trainer. Headstrong and overly confident, Nabe has an all-out attack style of battling, which is only broken up by commands to dodge and defend, as Tim would rather not see him injured. Can be very stubborn, and it is for this reason that it never evolved further, he didn't want to be ridden around the skies like a big flame-tipped airliner.
Et Cetera: Happens to look quite good in a trilby, much like it's trainer

Species: Fearow
Nature/Gender: Adamant/Male
Nickname: Kemf
Background/Personality: The first wild Pokemon Tim ever caught, Kemf can stir up somewhat nostalgic feelings in it's trainer. Swift and decisive when battling, it will usually try to tire out it's opponent before ending on a spectacular diving combo-move of some sort. He is quite a laid-back Pokemon, choosing to remain in his pokeball as much as he can, but he wouldn't be considered solitary, as he is a very friendly pokemon
Et Cetera: None

Species: Mightyena
Nature/Gender: Naive/Female
Nickname: Hev
Background/Personality: Obtained when Tim returned home from Kanto, to find that his neighbor's Poochyena had given birth. They suggested that Tim take the egg, as he was a skilled trainer, and would take good care of it. It evolved during a battle with a wild Ludicolo, and was very proud. She can be a bit of a tom boy, eager to prove herself to Tim, and because of this she often fights with Nabe. Tim compares this to sibling rivalry. On the battlefield, she is crafty and quick thinking, and Tim often finds himself taking credit for a de facto strategy she has employed.
Et Cetera: Shares her trainer's love of Ska, as Tim played her lots of music when she was an egg, like mothers who play their children Mozart

Species: Slowbro
Nature/Gender: Lax/Male
Nickname: Johan
Background/Personality: Caught somewhat accidentally as a Slowpoke, Tim never meant to throw the pokeball at it, and was surprised when it allowed itself to be captured. He soon realized this was because Johan can put up with almost anything, and is incredibly lazy. This can be infuriating, but Tim finds it hilarious. Very defensive in battle, he prefers to protect himself rather than attempt to harm the opponent. He evolved when fishing with his tail, as Slowpoke do. Tim had no idea it was an evolution, and thought Johan was under attack. Only when his Pokedex recognized him as a separate species did Tim stop trying to pull the Shellder from his tail
Et Cetera: None

Name:
Roisin (ROW-sheen) Haruka

Age:
15

Gender:
Female

Title:
Miss?

Hometown:
Goldenrod City, Johto.

Appearance:
The glamorous fifteen year old known as Roisin is a girl of such beauty that many boys have fell for her upon first sight. Her luxurious and shining; long blonde hair falls just above the back of her thighs. Her golden fringe hangs freely; just above her eyebrows which she usually parts in the middle and carefully lays each of the strands of parted hair behind her ears. Her Bright Blue and sparkling sky Blue eyes are really bought out by her bright Orange and Yellow tight dress which falls at her knees. Her dress has a White collar that is pretty much always open; revealing her White-Gold chain with a Firey Orange Gem encrusted within. Underneath the short dress she wears a pair of very dark Blue cycling shorts like her Coordinator heroine, May. Also like her idol, she wears a Bandanna -but unlike Mays'- hers is Light Orange like the pale stripes on her dress. Her pure white running shoes sparkle in the sun as she walks and match her white Co-ordinater style gloves, with black tips on the end.. She stands at a healthy 5"4' and weighs about 168 pounds. She has bright White teeth and long black eyelashes. Also despite all Roisin does to make herself look as glamorous as she is, she resents make up and hates to wear it thus revealing her small scars on her right cheek and above her left eye. She has a light brown bag that hangs from her shoulder too her hip.

Personality:
You'd expect a girl that looks as 'plastic' and beautiful as Roisin too be a complete snob and resent her underlings, but you couldn't be farther from the truth. Having not always been so beautiful she has a very happy and bubbly personality and will make friends with anyone and everyone. Also despite her looks and 'happy go lucky' personality she is actually rather intelligent and highly gifted with a powerful brain and memory; purposely dumbing herself down and then suddenly surprising people with her genius when she needs it. But Roisin isn't a super human with nothing but good qualities; her bad qualities are less often seen than her good ones but they play a prominent role in her young life. She is a very insecure person due to experiences in her past and the slightest insult to her and she goes of like a rocket. Also her tendency to hold grudges and seek revenge on people is a bad side of Roisin that she performs discreetly, just like her worst quality. Her worst quality has got to be her Machiavellian, or manipulative side, which makes her a complete control freak -like a lot of intelligent people- and often causes arguments. Her worse sides of her personality aren't seen as often as they are discreetly preformed. All her Pokemon she treats as family. this is deep down to compensate her loss of a family when she was very young (see below)

Background:
Roisin was born in the shining white metropolis known as Goldenrod City. When she was a 3 year old girl she was caught up in a horrific road accident which killed many people, including Roisins' Mother. This is where her life spun out of control. Her once warm and loving Father became very stern and angry. He blamed his daughter for the death of his wife and turned too drink. When Roisin was 4 years old her Father became very abusive and mentally unstable, he would kick her out of the house late at night where she roamed the streets alone, afraid and cold. One fateful day Roisins' Father took his own life and Roisin was finally free but know there was a problem, she had no place to live.


After a couple of weeks, during one of her nightly cries, she heard a high pitched squeaking next to her. As she looked to the side to try and locate the source of the squeak, she found a Beautiful Red and Green Dragonfly trying to cimb onto her shoulder. The little Dragonfly also seemed to be crying. It turned out to be the rare Pokémon known as Yanma. The young girl Picked up Yanma andembraced her, thus beginning a long friendship. Over the next Year the two friends entertained each other and were there for each other. They were best friends. When Roisin was 7 years old she was found by Johto Social services and placed under care of her Mothers Dad, her estranged Grandfather, Juan in Sootopolis City, the famous Coordinator and Gym Leader. And until she started her Journey with Yanma they lived in Juans Mansion with all the Water Pokémon. She decided to give up Pokemon Contests after losing her first contest. And has started too persue her true talents; the way of the Gym. She is testing her skills as a Trainer on the Rose Isle Royale Challenge.

Pokemon:

Yanma:
Nickname: None
Nature: Calm

Gender: Female

Description:
Yanma is a very happy Pokémon that has been with Roisin since she was Six years old and as a result the two share a very close friendship. Yanma has adapted most of Roisins mannerisms, the good and the bad. Yanma will do anything to make people laugh. Yanmas suprisingly amazing strength is practised daily and have been improved vastly. The little Dragonfly has her own Pokéball but perfers to stay on Roisins shoulder. Roisin and Yanma have always considered each other as Siblings and Yanma will sometimes completley mimic her Trainer to reflect that. After being bullied and thrown out of her swarm (like Roisin) for being weak; she is reluctend to evolve into a Yanmega.

Nature: Naive (Very)
Nickname: None

Gender Male

Description:
Spoink was the first Pokémon that Roisin actually caught by herself, and has been a powerful member of her team used for both battling and companionship. If you ever met a more joyful and happy-go-lucky Pokemon then it'd be a surprise. He is a very hyperactive little Pokémon that never stops bouncing, even to the point of exhaustion. He is very sociable and childish, also very fun/loveable and a great friend. Spoink has a very powerful range of psychic attacks that he learned from experience. The very Young Pokemon is very Naive, which is his only downfall.

Heracross:
Nature: Adamant
Nickname: None

Gender: Male

Description:
Heracross was once a leader of a Swarm of Heracross inhabbiting the Safari Zone. He's Old and wise with great Battle and Life experience. Roisin found Heracross unconcious in the Safari Zone, he had been usurped by a younger and stronger Heracross for posistion of Alpha-Male. Roisin captured Heracross and after getting him Healed at Lilycove city the two became great friends. Heracross acts like a makeshift Father for Roisin, he's over protective and an amazing battler, Roisin has used Heracross for many Battles and he Rakes in the Wins easily.

Et Certera:
Roisin has all Eight Hoenn Badges, (With help from some of Juans' Pokemon) the 'Trainers of Tommorow' Challenge to Roisin is a chance to prove herself with the Pokemon that she has caught and raised.

Is Pokemon Capturing allowed?

Uhh... ok. Here we go:
mew three- Umm... can't say that you're entry fits what I'm looking for. Denied
Jimz- Haha.. you're character is similar to mine when it comes to appearance and personality. Though I normally deny characters who are similar to others, I'm going to allow it. And, by the way, there aren't going to be many Pokemon in the Labyrinth, so I don't know about capturing. But it could work. Accepted!

Oh, one more thing. If someone before you has been accepted, please don't use a Pokemon they have registered with. So Jimz and chomp, could you change some of your Pokemon. For Jimz, that is your Ditto. I'm sorry to make this request, I just want variety. Haha...

Haha.. you don't have to change it. I'd prefer if you didn't evolve Charmeleon so I didn't have two Charizards. C'mon everyone! Still looking for applicants. I'm going to start tomorrow afternoon by the way. So be prepared.

OOC: Sorry, I don't mean to double post, but I'm going to start. People can still sign up though until we reach thirty posts.

All participants are going to start on this ship. This is the only way to get to the island. And PLEASE remember to use detail. No one line, no bad grammar, no words spelled wrong. PLEASE!)

IC:

The water was pretty choppy as the ship carrying Annalyn made its way from the port in Slateport City. It was about an hour travel from Slateport to Rose Isle, and she had been traveling about a half hour so far. The breeze was pretty strong and the sun was hidden behind a wall of clouds. Annalyn was wearing her normal outfit of a white button up long sleeve shirt, black slacks, and black high heels. She stared to the southeast where the captain had said Rose Isle was. When the island first came into sight, she wanted to be the first to see it. Standing next to her was Syter, her female Scyther. It too rub its two scythes together with the intent of sharpening them.

There was a gentle drizzle falling which was making her white shirt intent. Lucky for her, she was also wearing a white cami that would hide any "exposure" the rain might cause. Then, the speaker sounded with the captain's voice saying, "Due to the choppy conditions, our travel time will be extended by fifteen minutes. We apologize for the inconvenience. In another announcement, will all participants in the Hoenn Trainer Showcase please report to the lower deck. One of the tournament officials would like to speak with you." Then a little beep sounded and the announcement ended. Annalyn sighed. She really wanted to watch for the island.

"C'mon Syter. Let's go. They want to see us," she said. Syter nodded and followed her as she walked to the door. They walked inside to find an overweight woman dressed in a magenta pantsuit sitting at a simple fold-up metallic table in a fold-up wooden chair. On the table there were numerous papers laid out in front of her. There were also an assortment of various pens in various colors. The woman had an obviously fake smile on her face. The rest of her face expressed angst and sickness. She's probably suffering from motion sickness... "Hello there Miss..." Annalyn read the woman's name tag, "Joaquin. The captain told us to come here to meet with the tournament official. I'm guessing you're that official," Annalyn said with a slight giggle.

But the woman wasn't having it. She was obviously incredibly ill. "Before anyone can... participate in the Hoenn Trainer... Showcase, they must sign a contract, a waiver for any inj.... ury suffered, and to sign away the... rights of your image f... or the use on telev... isio..nnn.." she said and which was then followed by a moan. She pushed forward three sheets of paper; one yellow, one pink, and one white. "Can I use any pen?" Annalyn asked. The woman nodded and then placed her face into her hands. Poor woman... Annalyn thought as she started to read the forms. Oh... this is going to take a while...

Radd sat on the edge of the ship looking out at the horizon. He couldn't wait to land on that island, and watch as the paparazzi crowded around him with cameras and microphones. "After I win this thing, I won't have to work another day in my life!" Radd began. He patted his Zangoose's head and looked towards the skies. "None of these losers will beat us! Even if it means wiping out all the competition. His ditto, which was on his shoulder currently began to smeer evily. All three of them began to smeer, which broke out into a disturbing laugh, thus attracting alot of attention, thus disturbing Radd and his pokemon... :paranoid:

OOC: Woop

Slateport City; what a hole Tim thought to himself as he watched the docklands fade slowly into the distance. It was drizzling a little, and the wind was blowing past him at a considerable rate, which made the ship sway noticeably. He was dressed in his usual attire, smart yet casual, he never failed to look suave in his suit and shirt, usually topped off with a trilby style hat, but he was holding this, for fear of it blowing away. The wind whipped over his shaven and damp head, making him rather cold as he stood on board the deck of the ship taking him and the other "Trainers of the Future" to this Rose Isle place. He had asked someone in his hotel about their destination, and they had just looked worried at him, and then they scuttled away. Was he missing something here; history had never been his forte, but if there was anything major about this place, he should know. He decided that he should probably go and register, get it out of the way early on, and it gave him an excuse to get in from the wind. As he opened the door, the intercom system crackled fuzzily into life;

"Due to the choppy conditions, our travel time will be extended by fifteen minutes. We apologize for the inconvenience. In another announcement, will all participants in the Hoenn Trainer Showcase please report to the lower deck. One of the tournament officials would like to speak with you" Perfect. Now all he had to do was find his way to the lower deck. He followed a maze of rickety stairs and passed a steady line of seasick people grasping at the walls before he arrived at his destination on the lower deck of the ship. All there was to be seen there was an ill looking woman he presumed was the 'Official' sitting at a folding table surrounded by paperwork. She was attempting to communicate with a younger trainer, who was struggling somewhat with the mound of forms she was signing. Tim walked over calmly, placing his hands slowly on the table, to attract the attention of the 'Official'

"Is this where we register for the 'Trainers of Tomorrow' Showcase?" he asked, raising his eyebrows and staring sincerely at her. The blood had drained from her face, and instead of risking opening her mouth, she waved at a pile of forms and handed him a Biro. He sighed and began to skim through the paper. He picked up the ballpoint she had handed him, and replaced his hat firmly on his head, sighing, "Blah blah blah… Television appearances, blah blah, injuries suffered, fair enough" he scribbled his signature on the three coloured pieces of paper and handed them back to the woman, who was clutching her face in her hands, moaning gently. He placed them tentatively on the table next to her and walked to the other side of the room; he wanted to meet all the other "Trainers of the Future". The girl who was already there was looking hopelessly at the woman, who was now dangerously sea sick, and Tim was trying to work out where he recognized her from, then it hit him; Annalyn Gerundt, Sinnoh Grand and League Champion. Tim's hopes were lifted on the recognition of her; if this was the calibre of the people who had come, it was going to be very interesting, whatever it was the Hoenn League had set up for them on this 'Rose Isle' place

"Hello, I'm Tim Menhod, it's a pleasure to meet you Mis-Doctor Gerundt" he corrected himself, remembering something Cissy, one of the gym leaders of the Orange Archipelago had read in a magazine about her getting a medical degree.
