A Gym Leader's Journey [OOC Discussion]

This was a time before the famous Pokemon Tourney. A time before the Elite 4. A time before Gym Leaders. People still battled with their Pokemon, but not for badges, or money, or fame. They did it for the pure fun of it. But that would all change soon. There was word going around that the best trainers in all the land were recruiting talented trainers to run things called "Gym's". The "Gym Leaders" were to have a specialty in one specific type and take on any trainer that challenged them.​

Many talented trainers took up the challenge, but only a few would succeed. The road ahead of them would be filled with many tough trials and decisions. But what they didn't know was that a newly formed team of evil-doers, known as Team Rocket, was out to crush their dreams and rule the region as the most powerful trainers.​

Team Rocket is lead by Giovanni. They are a newly formed team, formed from the lust of stealing Pokemon and ruling the world. Their goal is to stop the formation of the Gym's and defeat the would-be Gym Leaders so they can reign supreme.

​

Now it's your job to make sure these Gyms are put into action. Let nothing stand in your way!
​

//Where is this taking place?
This RP will take place in the Kanto Region. But this is before any Gym's were built, so don't walk into Pewter City saying "Oh, look! Brock's Gym!". The cities and towns are still the same, just Gymless. You will be forming the Gym's in these cities and towns later on in the RP. Most of the towns, like Lavender and Pallet, are rural areas with few people living there. The cities are fairly busy, but not as busy as they will be when the Gym's are formed. All in-game areas will be present to. And by in-game areas, I mean places like Seafoam Islands, Cerulean Cave, etc. There also might be a couple of new places I could throw in. But we'll just have to wait and see for that.​
