The Hoenn Journey

Hello and welcome to my first official RPG, "The Hoenn Expedition".

Story so Far: "It is 20xx and you are beginning your Pokemon Journey in _____________. You are really excited about finally getting to see Hoenn firsthand. There are even new places in Hoenn such as the brand new Tolkoc Town located between Slateport City and Mauville and the Elemental Dojos in each town or city except Littleroot Town. You dream of one day becoming the world wide Pokemon Master and meeting every Pokemon. You already know which Pokemon you want and is going to get it from the legendary Prof. Birch.

In this RPG, you shall be exploring the wonderful Region of Hoenn, battling your way through trainers, winning official league badges and catching Pokémon to be your best friends on this difficult quest. You shall be exploring vast lands and bust cities. You will be facing new challenges and possibly taking names.

But beware, for there is evil afoot. The evil teams Aqua and Magma are back and badder then ever, for they still seek the powers of the legendary Groudon and Kyogre. How they aim to obtain them is what makes them more evil. Plus, there is a new evil team, Team Ozone, the newest addition to the group who have their eyes on the legendary Rayquaza. These teams despise each other and wish to dominate over each other. Team Aqua for more water. Team Magma for new land. And Team Ozone for a enviroment completely of air! A world in the sky! But these and other evil plans shall be revealed later on in the RPG.

You also have a rival in this RPG. If you are a boy, May. If you are a girl, Brendan. This rival will always choose the Pokemon with a better type advantage than you (ex. You= Poliwag Rival= Pikachu). Throughout the RPG, they shall aquire more and more tough Pokemon but you must come out on top. But your rival won't always be against you. They may help you later...

And now, the Gym Leaders. They are still as tough as ever. Even tougher in fact! In a gym, you will battle ONE rookie trainer and the Gym Leader. You won't know the Pokemon the Gym Leader will use until you reach that part in the story. It won't help you any if you tell another RPG member what Pokemon they'll be using. The Pokemon will be different for each member. You shall recieve the list they will use in a P.M.

Next, the Legendary Pokemon. AFTER you complete the RPG story mode, you shall recieve Legendary Pokemon events in a P.M from me. At what time you will never know. You have 24 hours to post a post about it or it gets expired and you won't get another chance at that Pokemon.

Now, trading. In the OOC Thread, you and another RPG member can trade Pokemon that both have in their Team or Box. Both members have to agree to the trade before I allow it. You must clearly say what Pokemon you are trading and what one you are getting from what member. You are only allowed 1 trade per day so I don't have a million a day to allow.

Next, Pokémon choices. You will start out with one Pokémon. It can't be legendary, a baby Pokémon, shiny or higher than it's original stage. There will onlu be one specie per member. First come, first serve!

And finally, rules. There will be no put-downs, double-posts, posts that have nothing to do with the story and inproper words (4ever, u, luv).

O.K. Now here is the application. Remember! One RPG person per member!.

+Poochyena+

Lilly was bored, the Proffesor wasnt at the lab, so she couldnt get her first Pokemon, and everyone she knew were out of town... Not that she liked any of them anyway...
'Argh! This town is so boring!' She thought, while she walked around the tiny town.
As Amy stumbled past the lab... for the third time, she heard a shout from inside, it was the Proffesors aide... "What ever is the matter?" Lilly questioned.
"Prof. Birch should of been back two hours ago, im worried." 'Hmm... I'd love to help, but I havent any Pokemon." Lilly thought as she walked out the lab, then she heard screaming just down the road, a little boy was shouting for help, apparently the screaming was from Route 101, Lilly sprinted down the route to find Prof. Birch being chased, it was kind of funny really... Especially considering he was being chased by something that could only pose threat to tiny little babies... Maybe... It was a...

Wurmple! The Proffesor then shouted, "In my bag! There is a pokeball!" Lilly ran to the bag and picked up the ball... "Go! Pokeball!" A pink blob came from the ball and it squeaked "Hoppip!"
"A Hoppip!? Well... They are adorable! Tackle attack!" The Hoppip then slamed its body into the Wurmple, causing it to squeal in pain, then it shot a string shot at Hoppip, wrapping it in string, greatly decreasing it's speed, then, while Hoppip was trying to untangle it's self the Wurmple used a tackle, and due to its light body weight, sent it straight into a tree! "Oh no! Hoppip! Come on! You can do it! Tackle!"
Somehow, the Hoppip got up and tackled the Wurmple, who it return shot a Poison Sting at the Hoppip, who, was about to faint, but using the last of it's energy, Tackled again, KOing the Wurmple... And it's self... Luckily, it knew Synthesis, so using the mid morning sun, healed itself.
"Well now! That was magnificent, you must be Lilly, come back to the lab!"

Back at the lab Birch was complimenting Lilly on her battle skills, and then... "Here, keep this Hoppip, want to name her?"
In reply Lilly said, "Hmm... Well... She is a little Angel, so I'll call her Angel." Lilly then, after being given five pokeballs, and a pokedex, left the lab. While walking through Route 101, a white haired male came up to her... "My name is Brendan, I'm going to be the best pokemon trainer in the world! I challenge you to a battle!"
"Well ok, I'm Lilly." Then Brendan sent out the fire type... Slugma. Lilly also sent out her Hoppip, and sfter examining Slugma with her dex she found out that its Smog attack is super effective over Angel! She ordered Angel to use tackle, it did little to Slugma though, and he retaliated with a Smog, super effective on Angel, but she could keep going yet! Then it was an almost endless cycle of Tackle... Then Smog, but Angel was defnetly hurt more... "Synthesis!" Lilly screamed, and then Angel recovered to pratically max hp, and used a powerful Tackle, that sent Slugma flying into a tree. This KOed it...
"Wow, that Tackle at the end was just... Wow!" Brendan said, as he handed Lilly the prize money... Then he ran off to Odale Town.
"Well then.. that was fun... Lilly said, before heading to Odale to heal Angel... Then back to Route 101.

This is a great start! Can't wait to see the rest of it!

Great! You remembered the type advantage for the rival. Even though I said it had to be May, I'll let Lisa slide. Here are all the items you have obtained so far!
1 Treecko
1 Town Map
1 Pokedex
1 Potion
5x Poke Balls

Need to Add
The battle sequence since this is still chapter 1.
How you got Treecko (could be in a flashback).

Great Job though! Just edit it a litlle with these suggestions and it'll be perfect!

Chapter One: The Beginning

Yuna dabbed her paintbrush in the pot.

"I'll need more green," she murmured. She stood up, walked over to her closet and pulled out a large green bottle. She opened its cap and squeezed out some green paint.

She glanced at the old cuckoo clock hanging on the wall. It read 6:03.

Oh well. I'll have to finish this later.

She inspected the beginning of her painting. It clearly showed that the one who had made it had been very excited: the slashes were wild, the lines shaky and the colours were wrong. Yuna sighed.

"I'm going to have to do this over again," she mumbled to herself.

She closed the lids on the pots. She placed them on her shelf and threw her painting in the recycling bin. She picked up her paintbrushes and dropped them in a cup full of water.

"Yunie?"

A small head poked out from behind the door. Yuna turned around. There was her little sister, Lauria. She was standing in the doorway, still in her pink pyjamas, her little teddy bear under one arm, rubbing her eyes tiredly. She yawned.

"Lauria!" Yuna cried. "What are you doing up so early?"

"Mommy told me to tell Yunie time to eat bweakfash," Lauria said proudly.

"All right, you can tell her that I'm coming," Yuna sighed. She looked at her sister. "Now you hurry back to bed, before you catch a cold."

Lauria yawned again. "Okay." She dawdled away.

Yuna followed. She climbed down the stairs and headed towards the kitchen. There, she found her father, sitting on a chair, reading newspaper and sipping his coffee. Her mother was busy scrubbing the tables.

"Good morning," Yuna said dully. She looked at the frying pan and groaned. "Pancakes again? Mom, that's the fifth time this week!"

Her mother looked shocked. "But aren't they delicious? We could never have something like this in the north! It's so soft and sweet and--"

"Pancake maniac," Yuna muttered under her breath. She took out a plate and a cup from the cupboards. She opened the fridge and pulled out the milk carton. She poured it gently into her cup. Then she took a pancake and sat down to eat. She had not even taken a bite when her father spoke.

"So, have you thought of what Pokemon you want yet?"

Yuna shrugged. "I don't really mind what they give me, as long as it's not a Magikarp."

The kitchen was silent for a moment. The next second, it burst.

"What do you people have against Magikarp?" her father howled. "It evolves into a big and strong Gyrados! When you get one, you'll understand how unreasonable you were! Not wanting a Magikarp is not wanting a Gyrados! I--"

"Now now, honey, calm down," her mother said. "Let's not forget, this is a very special day for Yuna, isn't it, dear?" She glanced meanfully at her daughter.

"And now a Gyrados freak," Yuna muttered. "Yes, Mom," she quickly answered. "Very special."

Her father grumbled something about 'unreasonable teenagers' and went back to his newspaper.

"Although..." Yuna said slowly. "There might be a Pokemon I want..."

At once, her parents perked up in interest.

"Yes?" her mother egged her on.

"Well..." Yuna said hesitantly. "You know how I'm an artist?" Her parents nodded. "Well, I thought maybe I would prefer a Pokemon that's, you know, artistic."

Neither of her parents said anything. Finally, her mother asked, "Like?"

"There's a list of them actually," Yuna confessed. "Pokemon like Milotic, Delcatty, Pidgeot, Seviper, Togepi, Roselia, Zangoose, Frosslass, Sneasel, Dragonair, Medicham, Kingdra, Ninetales, Umbreon, Murkrow, Absol, Manectric--"

Her parents exchanged a look. "Do you see the connection between all of them?" her mother whispered to her father. He shook his head. "Maybe she's just going through puberty," he whispered back.

"--and Dewgong. Maybe Gardevoir too," she added thoughtfully.

"Y-Yes, so, dear, why don't you go prepare yourself now?" her mother asked nervously. "It's about time."

"Yeah, I think I will," Yuna replied, stuffing the rest of her pancake in her mouth. She placed her plate in the sink. She gulped down the last of her milk and put her cup in the sink as well.

She ran upstairs to her room. She flung her black knapsack over her back. In it contained all the necessary things for her journey: two other pairs of clothes, her pyjamas, two bottles of water, a lunch, an small umbrella, a map, a book, and a cell phone her mother had insisted she take. She went back downstairs.

"I'm be going now!" she called behind her shoulder as she opened the door. She heard a muffled response. Shrugging, she raced outside, slamming the door behind her.

She inhaled a breath of fresh air. It was sunny outside; the sun's rays cast a light on the grass, making the field glow. Professor Birch's laboratory was only a few houses away: Yuna could see the top of the large, white building even from where she was standing. She started walking down the path that lead to the lab, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She whipped around in alarm.

"Oh!" It was a rather large man, with brown hair and a small beard. He was wearing a white labcoat and carrying a bag on one arm. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. It's just that I was wondering if you could help me out a bit."

Yuna frowned slightly. "How do I help?"

"Well, you see, I should have been back hours ago, but I met some, ah, problems, yeah." For some reason, he suddenly turned as red as a tomato. "S-So would you mind coming along with me to my lab? Like that, my assistants will assume I met you somewhere and that maybe we had lost track of time..."

Yuna raised her eyebrows. It sounded like she was going to be his accomplice in deceiving his assistants. Then again, it'll be a good opportunity... "Sure, why not? Besides," she added. "I was planning to go to your lab anyway."

Birch looked surprised. Then as though he had been struck on the head, comprehension dawned on his face. "So you were looking for a starter Pokemon?" Yuna simply nodded. "Great! It seems my reputation is starting to rise," he said, looking pleased with himself.

Yuna didn't say anything. They had arrived; the white lab towered in front of them. Birch rummaged through one of his many pockets and withdrew a thin, silver key. He plunged it into the door's keyhole, and with a soft click, it sprang open, revealing a large hallway. Birch put the key back in his pocket and gestured to Yuna. "Ladies first."

She stepped inside. Most of the walls were covered in greyish white wallpaper; the floor was made of grey stone and light ran through big, square windows. A very boring room.

"Professor, there you are!"

An assistant hurried towards them. He had short, cropped brown hair, huge, round glasses and wore a white labcoat similar to the Professor's. Very nerdy.

"Oh, Professor, you don't know how worried we were!" he exclaimed. "Where were you?"

"I saved this young maiden from an exceptionally fierce wild Poochyena," Birch said shamelessly. "It was strong, and I only had a few untrained Pokemon, so it took some time to defeat it."

"I seeeeee," the assistant said, coughing.

Yuna twitched and fought an urge to slap the Professor. "Yes, that's right," she said, her voice poisonous. "And now I would be honored to receive a Pokemon from my savior." She glared at Birch. The latter shuffled his feet nervously.

"Yes, of course," he mumbled. He turned to his assistant. "Bring out the new one."

"You mean X4R10a?" the assistant asked. Yuna rolled her eyes.

"Yes, yes, of course!" Birch cried with an exaggerated gesture. "Now!"

"Yes sir!" the assistant squeaked. He dashed away and back, holding a small package in his hands. He held it out to the Professor. Birch took it and shoved it into Yuna's hands.

"It's yours now," he said, his voice a little uneasy. He still didn't meet her eyes. "So, uh, yeah...."

"Thanks," Yuna said curtly. And she turned and walked away, stepping once again into the outside world.
