Plot –
For centuries, this world is one of peace, and harmony.
Humans live alongside powerful creatures known as Pokémon, each with their own elemental affinity. To humans, Pokémon are helpers, allies, and most importantly, friends.
At the present time, the world is a calm and cheerful place, free from war. But there are many signs that this world once faced fierce battles and powerful adversaries. During those times, Pokémon and human worked together to fight the foe. The Pokemon's extreme fighting capabilities and the human's creativity and wit made the perfect combination, but this bond was rare, almost unknown of. So a test was created…
The Argent Tournament-
It was simple, one human, who had gathered a small band of Pokémon, would battle against another, testing their skills to the very limit.
At the present day, people still battle against each other, but now it has become a friendly sport, and is widely accepted across the globe. Many of these people, who have become known as 'Trainers', travel the region with their Pokémon, challenging 8 powerful trainers who are collectively known as Gym Leaders.
And while the Argent Tournament has changed over the years, the principle remains the same. Small groups of trainers band together, and then, along with their Pokémon, work their hardest to earn recognition as some of the most powerful trainers across the globe.
Where the RPG'rs come in –
As you've probably guessed, you take the role of one of the many trainers who have signed up for the Argent Tournament. Prior to RPG, you have travelled to the region of Khyro, more specifically, Vencrown City. Once you have made your way to the City's stadium, you are assigned into a group of roughly 6 (The other RPG'rs). You and the group will fight their way towards the top with one thing in mind. To reach the top!
During this RPG, you will fight and catch Pokémon, see the many sights of Vencrown, and most importantly, have fun!
Geography for RPG'rs –
Vencrown City isn't the only place you have to stay…
Vencrown City (Centre)
Where most of the RPG will take place, including all the participation in the Argent Tournament. Just like Heathome or Goldenrod, Vencrown is a bustling metropolis that is flooded with tourists and civilians alike. Inside the city, some of the attractions include; a Department Store, the Millennia Stadium (Where the Argent Tournament is held) and a contest hall. Many Pokémon can be found here, but very few are wild. But the wild Pokémon that can be found mainly consist of Steel and Electric types like Magnemite.
Millennia Stadium (City)
Probably the most seen area throughout the RPG, as it is where the Tournament will take place. The first floor acts as a lobby, which features a café, an inbuilt Pokémon centre, a Pokemart, and many other facilities that the participants need. The second, third and fourth floor are arenas for battling or contests, meaning this is where all official battling will take place. The fifth and final floor is where the participants quarters are, being much like a hotel.
Mt. Jericho (North)
Found north of Vencrown City, Mt. Jericho is filled with your typical cave Pokémon like Zubat and Geodude. The entrance to the cave starts fairly ordinary, but then splits into a cataclysmic maze of passages, many lead to dead ends. But a couple exit to the mountain peak, which is threateningly cold, and many Ice-Types can be found here. Due to the harsh conditions, very few people have explored this area. But the chance to catch some rare Pokémon in the depths and heights of Mt. Jericho is an impossible chance to miss for some trainers.
Southside Beach (South)
Crystal waters and white sands, Southside Beach is one of the most popular places in the Khyro region. It is surprising how it has managed to stay so pristine despite being located right next to Vencrown. A Lighthouse and Dock can be found nearby, which attracts even more tourists. As expected, many Water types congregate around the shores, but many Ground types also appear, seemingly enjoying having warm sand beneath their feet.
Runic Forest (East)
While Runic Forest is one of the largest in the region, however it is just a shadow of its former glory. Expansion of the city has caused de-forestation, driving many Pokémon from their homes deep in the forest. Despite that, any human could easily get lost here, and many have. Many Bug and Grass type Pokémon can be found here, but the variety of types here is outstandingly large. New Pokémon have been found native to this area, the newest include Shinx and Kecleon. Many trees have been seen with etchings of Unown carved into them, which has given this forest its name.
Anemos Plains (West)
Many wild Tauros and Miltank are seen to roam across the Anemos Plains, along with other wild Pokémon like Pidgey and Girafarig. It is dotted with patches of trees and long grass, which is used by hunting Pokémon to help catch their prey. It is usually the first stop for new trainers as many Pokémon here are fairly easy to catch.
Jolin Island (South)
Located just off Southside beach, little is known about it. Few people venture there due to the harsh conditions, which near mirror Mt. ___. The island is highly volcanic, with a large volcano named Mauna Lau, which makes up half the island, which attracts a lot of Fire-types. The remains of the island are sandy, verging on a desert, with only the occasional tree sprouting from the ground. This is highly favoured by Ground-Types.
Classes –
In order to increase variation between characters in the RPG, we have created classes which serve as a base to expand on.
The Leader (Taken by Ray Maverick)
The Leader is the most experience member of the group. S/he has spent most of his/her time travelling across regions, training their Pokémon and hardening their battle tactics. While s/he has the most first-hand experience, this may occasionally go to The Leaders head, making him/her slightly bossy and obsessive. But, as much as the other group members hate to admit it, s/he is the best person for the job, as all of his/her actions are for the good of the team.
Extra: The Leader has access to 1 evolved Pokémon
The Tactician (Taken by GrifSpark)
While The Leader has the most experience about travelling and Pokémon, The Tactitican has spent his/her whole life researching them, meaning that The Tactician is the first one to call when you have a question about Pokémon. S/he aims to be the smartest possible, and prefers to spend time buried in a book than actually exploring the world. However, their knowledge has taken its toll on The Tacticians personal life, making them slightly arkward in social situations, but mainly because they use large words which few people understand.
During battle, s/he uses confusing and complicated tactics to outwit the foe, rather than confronting them directly.
Extra: N/a
The Loner (Taken by Nakuzami)
As it says on the tin, The Loner is fairly detached from the group. S/he prefers to stay alone rather than converse with the group, often simply watching the others. S/he has spent all of his/her travels with little or no human contact, with the only ones he could call his friends are his/her Pokémon, but The Loner's tough training regime has begun to weaken their friendship.
Although this has lead him/her to being nearly as tough as The Leader is, but what s/he lacks is teamwork, which could cost the group the title of champions.
Extra: The Loner has access to 1 evolved Pokémon
The Fighter (Taken by Kularian)
Tall, tough, and a fighter at heart, what The Fighter lacks in brains, s/he makes up with a lot of brawn. S/he can be rather rash and head-strong, rushing into trouble without thinking. But despite their tough exterior, they're just big teddy bears at heart, and will do anything possible to keep the teams spirits up. His/her Pokémon are much the same, focusing on all-out attack rather than an effective plan. The Fighter and The Tactician are tough rivals, due to their very different views on which is more important, brains or brawn?
Extra: N/a
The Joker (Taken by Raikiri)
The group's comedian, always joking, and very rarely serious for more than five minutes, they act as a sort of comedy relief for the highly stressed team. However this often leads to The Joker being the source of more conflict than joy, as it can, and will become annoying…
Due to being less serious about life in general, their Pokémon are less experienced. But what The Joker does have is an insane amount of luck.
Extra: N/a
Other

Requested Classes-
The Youngster (Taken by Eeveelution)
As the title suggests, s/he is the youngest of the group. Due to being new to the world of Pokemon s/he often looks for guidence among the other trainers, and has to put a lot of trust into them to prevail.
His battle style is undefined, and you can expect the odd rookie mistake from him/her. But s/he'll keep trying untill The Youngster wins.
Extra: The Youngster may break the age limit. The Youngster must be below the age of 14
