Welcome. 4 spots left.
This is, basically, an original trainer journey RP.
Story
"Kanto and Johto had not always been as peaceful and friendly places to live in as they are today. Once, many years ago now, crime was prospering and organized syndicates were abundant in every corner of Kanto. The greatest and most successful of them was called Team Rocket.
Kanto was a dark place back then, overrun by the anarchy Team Rocket brought by making other criminal gangs do their dirty work. When Team Rocket's leader finally stepped up and offered to bring order in return for power, Kanto's citizens and mayors considered giving in.
But Johto had stood up better against the criminality and still had some kind of safety in the region. The city mayors and gym leaders decided to unite, and drive Team Rocket out of Kanto. There was a showdown battle on the plains to the east of Vermilion City, of which people tell stories today and will tell stories about for decades to come. There, the Kanto and Johto gym leaders and other courageous trainers finally defeated the leaders of the crime syndicate. Team Rocket's top leader was killed in the fighting, and most of the criminals arrested."
"The mayors and gym leaders figured that now when the main brain behind Team Rocket was dead, the criminal gang wouldn't prosper again, so the people could start building a new, better Kanto. But still, they never wanted their land to turn into chaos again. And to make sure it never happened, the mayors picked four of the gym leaders in Kanto and Johto to be the supreme guardians of their lands. They would spend their life doing their job. And their job was to train their pokémon to be the strongest in the land, and to roam Kanto and Johto ever seeking out the least sign of injustice, and annihilate it. Some even say they could speak with their pokémon.
And they would be the Elite 4."
***
Today, the first Elite 4 have retired, disappeared or been killed. The two of them who are still alive are a pokémon professor called Oak, who resides in Pallet town, and the woman called Agatha, who resides in Mahogany town. Before these two retired, however, they trained four new trainers to be the new Elite 4.
They are Lance 'the dragon tamer', Bruno 'the strong', Karen 'the dark' and Lorelei 'the cold'. Lance is a proud showoff, Bruno is straightforward and hearty, Karen is cunning and tantalizing while Lorelei is elegant and intimidating. These trainers have had the title for some years now.
Your part
The new Elite 4 suspects that something is stirring in the seemingly peaceful regions. Are the criminal gangs about to wake up again? Without telling the Confederation, they decide to train replacement trainers, just in case anything should happen to them. They don't want the Elite 4 to decimate into two people again, like with Oak and Agatha.
You are a trainer living in any of the towns or cities in Johto. You've only got a few pokémon, training them is a hobby, and you haven't traveled much in your life and thus haven't even seen the whole of your region. You have a distant relative in Kanto, whom you haven't seen in many years.
One day somebody pays a visit to your home. It's a member of the Elite 4. They say they want you to go on a journey to strengthen yourself, to be able to become their successor in the future. They want you to prove your worth by training a team of strong pokémon as well as conquer all the gym leaders of Kanto and Johto. The Elite 4 has to be stronger than everyone else.
After a few days into your journey, you realize you're able to understand what your Pokémon are saying. You can suddenly speak with pokémon! Just like the rumors said about the Elite 4.
To protect you from anyone who might want to harm the heir of the Elite 4, this quest is secret. You can't tell the mayors, gym leaders, or your family the real reason behind your journey. You have to come up with a cover story. Should you happen to get close friends along the road though, maybe they should know, as they might aid you. Just remember, not even Oak and Agatha knows...
Do you accept the challenge?
Notes about this 'verse
- No, professor Oak doesn't give out a free pokémon and a pokédex to every kid who visits him. In fact, he doesn't do that at all. As far as common people know, Oak has one pokédex, that he's considering to duplicate and/or hand to a trainer who can gain his trust and aid him in gathering data on all the pokémon.
-- Other researchers, such as Bill and professor Elm, want their own pokédexes and are pushing for Oak to duplicate them.
- No, everyone doesn't go on a 'journey' at the age of ten. Quite the opposite. Not many are professional trainers. Rather, many keep pokémon as pets or train them as a hobby, like you.
-- It's mostly hobby trainers you'll face on the roads, but sometimes you can meet professional trainers with stronger pokémon.
- Each town has a mayor, who is the highest ranking deciding organ in the town. The mayors of a region all meet at regular basis to decide overall things about the region, and the mayors of both Kanto and Johto come together once in a while. That's the only form of goverment there is, and all the mayors together are called the Confederation.
- In this incarnation of pokémon universe, gyms are exactly that; GYMS. People train there, with their pokémon, and the leader is the owner of the gym and most often the strongest trainer there.
-- There is no 'pokémon league competition' at Indigo Plateau, but competitions organized by the gyms once every now and then.
- Battles in this RP are anime-like. Or rather manga-like, if you have read the first volumes of the Pokémon Special Manga. Use your imagination! You can win a battle that wouldn't make perfect sense in the game, like a normal type against a fighting etc., if you write it our really well.
RULES.
- I (Gary Stu) won't participate as a player. I am the Game Master (GM).
- I play the Elite 4. They don't stumble upon you when you want them to, but when I want them to. Same with the Mayors.
- You might however play the Gym leaders, and most other NPCs, when you battle them or otherwise interact with them.
- It's up to you what member of the Elite 4 you want visiting you in the beginning (as long as he/she isn't taken). Bruno, Karen, Lance or Lorelei. More than one person can have Lorelei as a mentor. You don't have to train the same kind of pokémon as your mentor does.
- You can have 1 or 2 pokémon at the start of the story and you can't have any evolved pokémon or legendaries.
- You can after a few posts speak with your pokémon. Nobody else can understand them though. After gaining about 2 badges, you can even speak to other pokémon than your own.
- When you battle a wild pokémon in a post, meaning to capture it, you have to end your post after you've thrown your pokéball. I decide if your capture is successful or not, depending on post quality and such~
- You can't catch legendary pokémon unless I say so.
- You can battle the gym leaders in any order! Make an exciting story of it. Remember they are all strong though.
- Your pokémon can only learn attacks it learns according to the HG/SS pokédex on Serebii. Just let the attacks make sense.
NOTE: We don't care about levels here. Your pokémon learns an attack intuitively or by training (like Ash's pokémon do).
NOTE 2: It takes much more energy to conjure a Fire Spin than an Ember. And it takes much more energy for a young Charmander to conjure a Fire Spin than it takes for a mature Charizard. Keep the example in mind.
- Please follow all the usual RP rules set up in this forum. Or else I'll make somebody kick you out >:|
- That includes no bunnying without the other player's permission. Co-op posts are encouraged though, so you're welcome to get together with another RPer and write a post, together. Especially when battling against/with each other.
- To show that you have read all these messy rules, type this at the end of your SU: I like falafel.
->> For each new area (route or town) you enter, you have to wait for me to give you instructions on what happens there, before you go on posting. That means every time you're about to leave an area, state so at the end of the post. For instance, if you have traveled through Viridian Forest, posting say 2 times in there, you say at the end of the second post (OOC: I leave the forest now and enter Pewter City)
- Have a good time. If you think something should be improved or changed, regarding... anything at all in this RP, tell me so. PM me :)
