Ever Sinnoh Trainer Like That? (PG)- OOC.

​

Ever watched a Pokemon battle? Ever watched two trainers, one skilled, one not, pursue battle against one another? Have you ever saw "the underdog" pull that battle out? If you have, then you know how the world of Pokemon works. Even when you're strong, even when you're "the best"... There is always that someone who is better. Cruel? I like to think so, rather unfortunately. Yes. Across the four regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, there are many, many trainers who could be classified as either category. The arrogant one, comforted by his/her team of strong and intimidating pokemon, and the shy and simple one, with his/her team of pokemon trained based off of their abilities and their inner strengths, rather than their "brawn" and "ferocity". Yes! Sometimes, the arrogant one will pull the battle out, and sometimes the shy one will pull it out. However, that really does NOT matter. Why? Because! Whether you're in Kanto, or whether you're fishing for power in Johto... Whether you're battling your heart out in Hoenn, or forming new tactics in the last region of Sinnoh... I have one last question. One that can be answered after a win, or before a defeat... Or, the other way around. That question?

Have you ever "Sinnoh" trainer like that?

Enter trainer. Whether you come from the region that started it all in Kanto, or from the later discovered Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, you are needed. Eight trainers (myself included), have asked to become a part of an elite team on a far-away island. The team? Compiled of the most well-liked, revered trainers from all four regions, they have been asked to take over a series of new gyms being opened on the island. The island? Erientanto Island, located a comfy 150 miles from the "coast" of Sinnoh, and not too far from Kanto, has been recently discovered as a "hot bed" of talented trainers in search of new challenges. The gyms? Built in only the islands most popular towns, are all essentially new. The glory of those gyms? None of the gyms have specified types, so the trainers of Erientanto will have plenty of new challenges on their hands. Also, one the trainers arrive in their respective towns, they will soon discover that their living expenses are already covered. As well as having "living quarters", the trainers will also be provided with a butler or maid. Whether or not you choose to keep them is your choice.

Everything sounds perfect, right?
Not even the least bit flawed?

Wrong. See, what the trainers don't know is that they are actually being recruited by "darker forces". Those forces? You guessed it, Team Rocket! Although the trainers from Hoenn and Sinnoh will not be familiar with Team Rocket, they should be made to be familiar with the concept of evil. Not to worry though, soon after facing their first trainers at their respective gyms, the trainers will be clued in. Again, whether you choose to stay and lead your gym is your choice, but it is HIGHLY recommended that you do NOT, as the trainers that chose not to WILL wind up facing you somewhere down the line, as you do work for "evil".

For those who choose to leave the helms of their respective gyms, the path is simple: Located in Fawnburrow City, is the new Team Rocket headquarters. Upon discovering the real truth behind their being hired, the "good" trainers will pursue battle against those at Team Rocket Headquarters, in pursuit of freeing Erientanto from their dark reign. All "good" trainers MUST! meet up at some point, and develop a strategy to take out TR. The only way to Fawnburrow is by traveling through series of towns (four, in total) that is infected with plenty of weaker Rocket grunts, as well as other trainers recruited to the dark side. How to handle this will be a group decision, discussed in the OOC when made. Also, whether you have a power-heavy team, or a team based strictly on tactics, EVERYONE will serve an important role on the team. Disagreements are sure to follow, as every trainer will no-doubt be extremely independent, and not want to follow the rules of those around them. Still, as all good goes, they must stick together. Some will be closer to one another than others, and some will be more distant. Whether or not you choose to pursue romance is between you and whom you pursue, and should be discussed via private messaging. Also, do inform the GM (me) of this, so as not to anger me. You've been warned.

And for those that choose the path of evil, your path may be even easier! Upon choosing to stay at your respective gyms, you will be contacted by either the head of TR, or a grunt. Again, this is up to you. If you want to blow up your own ego, fine, I don't care. I just want you to have fun! Once officially joining "the dark side", you will be asked to take a temporary leave from your gym, and follow and plot against your former fellow gym leaders. Murder is not okay, nor is the killing of one's pokemon. Try that here, and I'll have you out of my topic before you can even say mosquito. You have been warned, again. Your overall objective as a TR recruit is to make the lives of the "good ones" miserable. Sure you can be comical, and sure you can have fun... Just keep it within the dark side, and don't let me catch you "frolicking" with one of the good ones. Get it? Got it? Good.
