The Cayo Region
Introduction
Chicken Fingers here! I have made my return to PC with the Cayo region! Hopefully you guys like it!
I wanted to make a region where you don't have to remember 12 million mechanics. I wanted it nice and simple, so that you could enjoy it more and follow the characters and story. You can roleplay through, battle others on Showdown and record it, or even combine the two! You can draw pictures to show off your story on here! Do whatever you want and be creative! Simple notes of your character's adventure is allowed as well.
Cayo is simply a name I remember seeing somewhere a while back and I happened to remember it and like it. I decided to name my region after it. I have had ideas about it and making it into a hack and such, but nothing really set in stone. I took a few different ideas I've had for it and have formed it into this.
As for the region shape and such, I came up with all of that based on the location I chose on the world map. I looked at the area and tried to theorize over why people may settle there in the real world. I formed that into a few different ideas and brought them together.
Now, please note, I am not always the best with writing and with words. I actually would like to use this as a way to improve upon that. The reason why I told you that is so all of you lovely people out there tell me when something is not clear or makes absolutely no sense when you read it. Thank you. :)
I also don't happen to have the best eye. So if anybody would like to help me make a better looking post or have any advice on that area of this, feel free to tell me how ugly it is. :)
Hopefully those last two paragraphs don't scare anybody off! Let's just move on!
Lore
A secluded land, barely explored. Surrounded by deserts, mountains, and powerful water currents. Remaining barren for years, everything changed once explored. Parties came from opposing sides and fought for control. Those from the north, south, and east. As a result, the land of Cayo became ravaged with war. The fighting continued for several decades…
The Pokemon of Cayo were uneasy. Their homeland was invaded and they could no longer stand the damage. This time is referred to as the Lost Era. No authority was anywhere. All of the groups ran amok.

Lore
A secluded land, barely explored. Surrounded by deserts, mountains, and powerful water currents. Remaining barren for years, everything changed once explored. Parties came from opposing sides and fought for control. Those from the north, south, and east. As a result, the land of Cayo became ravaged with war. The fighting continued for several decades…
The Pokemon of Cayo were uneasy. Their homeland was invaded and they could no longer stand the damage. This time is referred to as the Lost Era. No authority was anywhere. All of the groups ran amok.
A small ragtag group of men and women, coming from each group came together. Exploring the land looking for a solution, they came across a group of Pokemon of equal numbers. This group came together and became known as The Power.
The Power worked against all groups. The 7 humans were able to harmonize with the 7 Pokemon. Before bringing peace to the people, they brought peace to themselves. After understanding love, equality, and life, they learned to help others understand it.
The Power gained followers. Instead of ruling with power, they ruled with understanding and peace. However, there has to be balance. A world without hate and unrest is impossible. For one to obtain complete peace, there must be war and strife. Finally, the Power Era came about.
There was no strength that could compare to The Power. Their abilities were unparallelled. They defeated others with ease. In the end, many lives were lost. However, peace was strung throughout the region and finally balance. The time following is known as the Harmonic Times. Which brings us up to modern day.
"Everybody knows that there must be chaos in order to have peace. That is a given. What they do not know, is that you do not have to have peace in order to have chaos. You can only obtain peace, one you obtain a balance."

A Simple Overview
The Land of Cayo is a newly formed region and is quickly being more developed. The population is growing fast and is beginning to soar. Many are travelling to Cayo to make money and take advantage of the many opportunities it holds. A land going without interference for thousands of years holds many secrets to be found.
The Cayo League, better known as the Trial of Powers is now forming. Many trainers are now coming to the region to take it on. The Champion of Cayo is looked at as a national leader and many strive to achieve that honor.
Government
The government of Cayo isn't very complicated, but takes a different approach to handling situations and such.
To start, the government is run by a group of 7, namely The Otium. They are a group of 7, due to the numbers of The Power who have left Cayo to travel the world, train, and spread peace. The Otium tends to be made up of either powerful or highly respected trainers and top researchers in the region. Each member is interrogated and has their mind read by the Psychic Corp in the military, in attempts to prevent corruption. However, they are aware that the people need a single person to look up to. Somebody to identify as their leader and worship. The Champion of the region assumes this rule and is currently part of The Otium. He is used as the "speaker" for The Otium. He is the one that announces any ideas, plans, actions, etc.
Each trainer, when they receive a Pokedex and are registered for the league, assume a position in the reserves for Cayo's military. The only exception to this rule is immigrants or visitors, who may still elect to enlist if they wish. This system gives Cayo's military more numbers and provides reinforcements if ever needed in combat. With the league only recently starting, the numbers are low at the moment.
All of the gym leaders are basically generals in the military. They hold authority to direct soldiers in war and are often looked to for their opinions on battle strategies. Gym leaders are highly respected people throughout the region, as they are also heads of authority in their respective cities. They control law enforcement in each individual town.
Cayo obviously has laws. However, they are nothing harsh. Mainly the expected laws or typical rules you would think of. Most of the ideas that people refrain from simply because of self morals.
Most laws are enforced by town and city. The gym leaders attempt to keep everything within their area and handle it from within. Many problems are settled quickly through counseling and talking, as opposed to imprisonment and such. Anything that the gym leaders deem too dangerous to keep or that they believe is above their power to handle, is sent to The Otium at the Pokemon League.

Going Through Cayo
I want to make this a stress free thing. However, there still has to be guidelines and such.
If you would like to catch a Pokemon, PM me and let me know your character's location and express your wish to catch a Pokemon. I will then respond with the Pokemon that your character can catch. You are not forced to catch it though. You can PM me one of these once every five days.
Battling gym leaders will be handled between the gym leaders and you. You may battle on Showdown, roleplay it, draw pictures, or even just make quick notes of the battle.
i.e.
Spoiler:
You can use that for any kind of battle. If you were to catch a Pokemon, simply end it with "Dave threw a pokeball and caught Pidgey!"
If your character participates in world events or a personal side quest, I ask that you roleplay it or tell the story as a reporter. Just give more detail than the quick notes!
Please ask me if you have any questions!
