----------------------- A SMALL INTRODUCTION -----------------------
My name is Michael, or Mike. I have always been a fan of the pokemon series since it first hit the UK when i was about 11 years old. (I am now 21). Which is pretty much for half of my life. I have always written fan fictions and roleplay stories for other series such as Dragonball etc, However I would like to propel a story through the world of Pokémon for the first time, and perhaps capture your imagination and have you join and keep the plot going. It can have an ending... or it could go on forever... It all depends on what happens within the story!!
----------------------- ROLEPLAY AND GENERAL STORY BORDERLINE -----------------------
This story will begin set in Kanto. The reason for this is because I believe Kanto to be the original, (and best) region and the best setting. The Gym leaders will almost remain the same as the original series. Perhaps with minor changes.
Gym leader listings can be found in the OOC thread.
Direct Link to the OOC thread here!

(Except for the 8th gym, as Team Rocket will NOT play a part in this story)
You can choose from 2 Pokemon Experience levels. Depending on how you want to play your character.
You can play an Rookie trainer, who will receive their first pokemon from prof. oak!
Or an experienced trainer, who's pokemon may (or may not) have already evolved into the 2nd stage of evolution (Depending on the given Poké.. ASK ME FIRST )

You will start your story, make your friends within Prof Oaks lab and speak with people in the village of Kanto. From there you can start to make your journeys around kanto collecting badges and capturing pokemon. Head in the main direction of the general kanto story, but don't follow the rules of the game (example: surfing and cutting down trees..)
just look at the game and the anime in a whole.. remember where and how the places are, and how long it'd take to get there..
Start in Pallet with your first pokemon and head towards Viridian.

Everynow and then, I will roleplay my character (appearing randomly here and there and challenging you to a battle) and i will also be roleplaying a dark group of people who will try to steal your pokemon and other things... (You and your friends must overcome these mysterious folk, try to work out who they are and what they are doing all over kanto) You can simply defeat these 'minions' of the dark organization by beating them with your pokemon! But be creative. You'll know what pokemon they have. Struggle, fight together with your friends and let's see what you can do! The more creative you are within your posts, the better your pokemon will become.

----------------------- STORY -----------------------
It's just turned summer in the region of kanto and a whole batch of new trainers are heading down to visit Prof Oaks lab to collect their first pokemon and start out on their adventure!
Reports of Dark Pokemon being stolen all over kanto are rising each week!
A large delivery truck, carrying many pokeballs and poke-eggs enters pallet town, driving slowly down the small roads. Sat next to the truck driver is a scientist named Dr. Marley. With her head sticking out of the window and her hair blowing in the wind, she has a smile on her face.
But the smile was soon wiped off... An explosion up ahaead caused a massive gap in the road, and the truck screeched to a halt. Dr. Marley jumped out of the truck and looked towards the rear of the vehicle and noticed a group of people dressed in dark clothing running away with some of the pokeballs... Theives. Marley ran to the back of the truck and noticed that the theives had only stolen Dark type pokemon...
At the lab, A group of trainers who started 2 months ago are already there speaking to the prof about their progress in training their pokemon as one of the individual notices a poster on the wall. It reads "POKEMON LEAGUE!"...
(Please be aware of this; The story has been ongoing for a while now and trainers have already left the lab with their pokemon.
New comers will simply repeat the process as late comers)

1) No breaking the rules ;) If you do, you'll be removed. Simple as. Dark Mike and Scarecrow1113's words are FINAL
2) Try to be as active as possible! - Going missing for too long could have your character removed from the RP. This has occured twice so far.
3) Once the RP has started. Post OOC posts in the OOC thread only. (Other than a sign up post)
4) Try to use proper grammar and spelling. (I understand some people have difficulty with this and if you explain beforehand it will be taken into account - everyone should get a chance!)
5) Follow the 'proper' RP rules. No god-like activity and Bunnying of any kind without permission. Follow the general forum rules!
6) Copy and paste 'I HaVe ReAd' at the end of your Sign Up form.
7) Understand that I will be playing 2 roles. The role of my character and the role of the RP(game) master. I can, and will, 'spawn' opponents that will challenge and face you. You must not ignore these challenges and include them somewhere in your posts.
8) Your pokemon are NOT invincible. They can lose and they will lose. Remember this.
9) No encountering or receiving out-of-place pokemon without permission of the RP master. You cannot receive pokemon for free or via trades without permission from the RP master. NO legendary OR shiny pokemon encounters in your posts, OR in your history! At all. (unless it's of my doing - You may come across a shiny pokemon oneday but that is down to the RP master)
10) ABSOLOUTLEY NO FLAMING!! If you disagree with something that has happened, PM me.

HOW TO (+ tips)
Basically, write your story. You'll begin in Oaks lab in Pallet town, read the introduction story (which will start the RP) and respond to it. Act from it. Read other RPers posts.. find out where they are, what they're doing... and you might even ignore them completely. :P
Talk to other RPers in the OOC thread if you get stuck. You can find a link at the top of this post.

Battling Eachother!! If this should occur... (PM one another or discuss it in the OOC thread.. if one of you wants to win and the other doesnt mind losing.. discuss who will write it up and talk about what moves your pokemon will use in the other persons post..)
If you cannot come to an agreement. I will decide on a winner (based on the the individuals performance in previous RP or by pokemon types. Or just random choice...)

Capturing Pokemon
The stronger the Poke, the more magnificent the battle must be. I want to read an epic story if you're capturing something like tyranitar or Dragonair... But if you're capturing a caterpie, well you get the general idea.
Wait for me to review your post. I'll tell you wether the pokemon broke free or not.

Your character
Can be ANYTHING you want it to be.
The general "My parents are dead and i'm out for revenge" will just get your sign up declined.
Be original.
Everything, all in all, is fine.
But it needs to be justified. Why is your character Silly? Angry? Tired all the time? Whatever.. Just explain it!!

Appearance: Mijaan is quite short for his age,and wears a black hoody, with blue cuffs and black shorts. His long black hair is what makes him stand out, though from behind many mistake him for a girl, which annoys him... He has blue eyes and has a red backpack over his shoulders. He used to wear a hat all the time when he was younger, but he lost his favorite hat and refuses to wear another one. (would write more but too lazy atm)
History: Mijaan grew up in Kanto. His family often took boat trips from Kanto to the safari zone, to visit Chris and his mother and father, Who were great friends of the family. Chris and Mijaan became best friends and often wrote to eachother about things that happened in their lives. Whenever they were together, they would have pretend pokemon battles with imaginary pokemon and argue over what was happening. Eventually though, Mijaan's father took ill and could no longer take them on holiday via the boat. This angered Mijaan for many reasons but he kept that inside, he did not want to upset his father. The weeks went by and mijaan's father got better, but he never took to the seas again. The doctor had told him that the sea air was making him ill and he shouldnt travel by boat on such long journeys anymore.
One day, however, Chris and Mij met again in Kanto. Chris had come all the way there to get his very own pokemon and Mij was furious! Why could Chris get a pokemon but not him? He immediatley confronted professor oak and his parents about the matter! Eventually, Oak announced a pokemon trainers meeting! For new trainers. And Mijaan planned to attend!
