The basic premise:

In a fantastic Pokeworld, minstrel Brock of Argenta (the fantastic equivalent of Pewter City in this world) was summoned by the wizard Lysandre to retrieve the legendary Celestial Harp of Rainbows in return for some mystical items. But as Brock was on his way to the cave where the harp was hidden, Meloetta appeared to him to warn him that Lysandre wanted to use the harp to raise up an army of undead and ghost Pokemon, and destroy the world. Instead, she directed him to gather four other adventurers, assemble the eight jewel shards hidden in eight well guarded elemental labyrinths, and then use the powered up harp to defeat Lysandre before he can carry out his evil plot.

Brock was shaken by this news, and immediately returned to Argenta to ask any and all adventurers to help him on an adventure of a lifetime.

You play the role of one of the four adventurers that responded to Brock's plea for help--will you and Brock succeed in defeating Lysandre?

This is meant to honor both the 30th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda and the 20th anniversary of Pokemon.

If you're curious, you can catch Pokemon by way of using a Level 2 spell known as Heart Link--but keep in mind that certain Pokemon may favor certain classes (so no clerics with a Tyrogue, for example)

Take your time, there's no rush.

I'll be playing the role of Brock, who serves as your guide on this adventure.

Here's a detailed profile for him:

Name: Brock

Age: 18

Height: 5'6

Build: Thin and muscular

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Brown

Known relationships (so far): Hinata the Vulpix (close companionship), Flint (father, close and loving), Lola (mother, close and loving), his siblings (close and loving), Ash (close friendship), Serena (close friendship), Misty (respectful acquaintances), Dame Jenny (cordial acquaintances), Lady Joy (cordial acquaintances)

Personality/Known History: At first, Brock seemed destined to follow his father Flint into the gem mines of Mt. Luna, but with nine other kids at home, he stayed behind to help his mother Lola referee fights and help with chores. A knack for storytelling proved prophetic, but it was rescuing the Guardian of Song Meloetta from a Crobat that awakened his gift of spellsong.

He dutifully honed and trained his skills while at the minstrel's academy, and earned the right to wear the purple garb of a high minstrel after three years. While it was not the fastest any minstrel had attained the honor, the high minstrels at the academy agreed Brock had real talent.

After graduation, Brock was appointed resident minstrel of Argenta, a position he still holds today. At the time our story begins, he divides his time between his hometown and his travels across Kanduin (the equivalent of Kanto in this world) and the world.

Awe inspiring to see in his magnificent purple, red, and gold costume, and filled with an intense joie de vivre that makes even the most cynical grouch want to smile, Brock is very skilled in music, acting, storytelling, and mimicry, delighting young and old alike with tales of history and fantasy. But this joyous demeanor belies a skilled tactician, shrewd mediator and a singer of an ancient magic very few minstrels ever master. But all the time spent furthering and honing his skills left very little time to socialize, meaning he is prone to lovesickness around females he does not know well, particularly the knight Jenny and the cleric Joy. Luckily, he knows how to keep these "gaga episodes" (as his friends call them) in check most of the time.

Strengths: music (he sings and plays harp, lute, mandolin, and some flutes and whistles, to name a few), storytelling, acting, mimicry (he can accurately mimic a person, thing or object in no less than three attempts), negotiating, lore, obscure history, mediating conflicts

Weaknesses: females he does not know well, his friends in danger, Ice Pokemon (bad experience in an ice cave, "music" that is just noise, out of tune instruments or bad singing (he understands if someone is learning, tends to worry about those he loves (working to overcome this)

Current inventory:

Glimmering Harp (his main instrument)

Elemental Mandolin

Heavenly Flute

Luna Pipes

Map of the world

Deck of cards

Food for him and the party

Money bag


Known abilities (so far):

Gentle Chord (plays a soft chord that creates an elemental burst--his basic attack)

Hyper Voice (unleashes a hypersonic scream too high for friendly races to hear, but causes immense pain to monsters and shatters even diamond and mythril)

Hypnotic Aria (holds a target spellbound, rendering it unable to attack as long as he is singing the song)

Song of Anger (boosts his own attack and defense as well as allowing him to sing powerful fire magic--one of his more powerful songs)

Song of Fire (a basic fire song--invoked by Jao wiisha nes chiel com yutuul...)

Song of Earth (a basic earth song--invoked by Imultaos, ame no hao bakezo...)

Song of Water (a basic water song--invoked by Rou iitsa ron selga vichii...)

Song of Wind (a basic wind song--invoked by Karuto, iichiida shou...)

Song of Ice (a basic ice song--invoked by Furiya, shuru shamato...)

Song of Light (a basic light song--invoked by Seios, higarima laisido...)

Song of Protection (a song that conjures a shield of energy around him and any allies--invoked by Leishu shun ji, lei si...)

Song of Seeing (a song that allows him to analyze enemies and see things hidden to human eyes--invoked by Seilei colfin ar kardram tro...)

Heart Link (used to tame a Pokemon)

Fight Song (a rousing song to boost physical attack and defense)

Mystic Melody (a hypnotic song to boost magical attack and defense)

Annoying Strain (sings a song that repeats over and over, making it hard for an enemy to cast spells)

Trick Question (catches the opponent off guard, lowering their speed)

Tale of Woe (tells a sad story that demoralizes foes, lowering attack)

Comical Tale (tells a funny story that lowers the opponent's defense due to how hard they laugh)

Swanna Song (sings a beautiful melody that unleashes a powerful spell at the cost of all of Brock's strength, lowering his HP to 1.

The lyrics:

Gatrandis favel, secret, edena... (I open my heart to unleash a secret power..)
Emusto ronzen fine el balaziis... (Which I promise to use to end evil's rule...)
Katoradis favel siicletu edena... (The song in my heart becomes this power...)
Emusto koron zen fine, si... (Will I fight even to the end? Yes.)
