my character:

Name
Carl James Banks

Nickname(s)
-

Gender
Male

Age
16

Sexuality
Bisexual

Appearance
Carl's hair is stylish, rather long around the sides and the back although not too long at the front. His hair is black with blue streaks, and he has a side fringe which sometimes falls above his eyes, which are also a dense shade of blue. His skin is rather pale, as he doesn't like to sunbathe.
His favourite outfit consits of a black t-shirt with a white cardigan and blue jeans to match his eyes and hair. He regularly wears sneakers/trainers rather than slick shoes, going with the trendy look rather than the sleek look. Also, he sports a black watch and a blue messanger bag to store his equipment during his travels.
Appearance is quite important to Carl. He doesn't like to walk around looking like a mess, because appearance tend to be a vital factor of a friendship or relationship. As implied, Carl's favourite colours are blue, black and white as they all go with each other, and that they all appear to match his personality.

Personality
Carl's personality can vary. Most of the time, Carl is a casual and down-to-earth person - he can be a listening and caring person to anyone who truly needs his help. Also, he tends to be quite laid back and doesn't let little things affect him, unless they're truly endangering. This makes him quite a well-balanced person.
However, to people who he doesn't know, he tends to be quite shy, and defensive to those who try to confront him and take him on. His determined spirit keeps him motivated to keep up to anything he has set his mind to, and any foe that tries to take him on, no matter how intimidating, he will retaliate. In the end, as long as he gets his own way, Carl will remain satisfied. When Carl does not get his way, he tends to go off in a depressive and moody attitude which puts him off track.
This aside, Carl has a softer, more sensitive side. Animals are his speciality, dogs in particular. Reptiles as well. He one day dreams of defeating the Pokemon League with a team full of animals, although he wouldn't mind having the odd indifferent pokemon to join the team.

History
Carl originates from Rustboro City, Hoenn, where he has lived ever since he was born. Since he was a child, Carl had performed rather well at school and eventually he began to study Art, before then he took an intrest to Pokemon training after attending a course at the Pokemon School in the city, which opened up a door to a whole new world to his life. Ever since, he abandoned his studies in Art and focussed more attention on what it would be like to be a Pokemon Trainer.
During his research, his family have always stuck behind him and supported him so that he could achieve his dream. His mother, Sandra, who works down at Devon Goods in retail, has had many experiences with Pokemon training and has given Carl some advice on how to become a trainer himself. His older sister, Kacy, has already set off on a journey of her own, exploring the Hoenn region alone, just like Carl intends to explore Unova.
After Carl conducted enough research, he was ready to leave home and catch the ferry to Unova. He does intend on returning to Hoenn one day, as a powerful trainer with a collection of strong Pokemon. For now, he caught the ferry from Littleroot Town and travelled all across the sea into Nuvema Town, Unova.

Anything Else?

Chosen Path
Trainer

Starter Pokemon:

Tepig (Regular)
Name: Tepig
Gender: Male
Level 10
Ability: Blaze~When a Pokémon with Blaze uses a Fire-type move, the power will increase by 1.5× if the user has less than or equal to ⅓ of its maximum HP remaining.~
Personally:
Attacks: Tackle, Tail Whip, Ember, Odor Sleuth, Yawn (Egg Move)

--

I'm going to set up nuvema town shortly, for those who haven't included how they caught their starter pokemon in their history. I'll also set up some rules on how many posts should be included per town/route and such.

Sry couldn't see Cookiez post.......my net is wonky, I've changed my starter to Pidove, so that Cookiez won't get angry at me for taking Oshawott.

it's okay, you're still in. however, you'll still have to edit pidove's moves, you forgot to give it an egg move. :P


ANGRY AT U!!!! Jk. Will there be multiple legends for us to catch? Or will one person get 1 legendary?

I'm not sure about including legendaries, but if I was to include them, then I'd probably make it so each person chooses a legendary they want to catch and then in the place most appropriate, the legendary may be caught there. the post would have to be really detailed though. after all, it is a legendary pokemon.

(OOC: Is it okay if he has Munna prior to getting to Unova, or must he be given to Max by professor Juniper)

yeah sure. I'm setting up nuvema town soon so you may include your encounter with professor juniper there, that's what I'm doing as well.

okay, now that we're almost ready to get started, I'm sending out a PM to all of you who have been accepted. if you don't receive a PM, then sorry, you're not accepted.
I've posted the OOC thread, although it's just getting moderated at this moment. as for nuvema town, I'll post it in just a minute.
just a reminder, as the leader of the RP, I'll judge on how pokemon are caught and how much pokemon level after a battle. however, I shall be taking part in the RP as well, so I'll be making things fair for everyone.

okay, here we go. you may get started!

Nuvema Town


Recommended number of posts: 1-2

Nuvema Town is the smallest town in the entire of Unova, and the first point of your journey. The sun brightens up the town and sharpens the colours of the dense green grass, and the deep blue water. There are few parts to Nuvema Town, and they all tend to be rather small.
First part is the harbour, located at the south of the town where people tend to get ferries from place to place. As well as this, imports of Pokemon and Items get shipped in to Professor Juniper.
In the centre of the town, there doesn't appear to be much places of interest. The town mainly consists of trees and plants, a very peaceful area. Also, there are several small houses and cottages dotted around the town, where the friendly citizens take residence. Apart from that, there doesn't appear to be much else. No shops. Not even a Pokemon Center, although at this point in the story, it shall not be necessary.
However, there is one point of interest in the town, and that is the Pokemon Laboratory of Unova. This is the hotspot where all beginning Pokemon Trainers start their journey, where Professor Juniper gives advice on how to become the best trainer around.

Things to do in Nuvema Town:
-> Visit Professor Juniper

Professor Juniper is possibly the most famous character in the entire of Unova, and is the expert of all Pokemon within Unova. She is the person who helps out beginning Pokemon Trainers, in this case, you. If you've already received your starter Pokemon, then it shalln't be necessary for you to include that. However, that is not the only thing Juniper has to offer. You also receive your Pokedex and Town Map from her, which are essential tools which you need to guide you through your journey.

-> Meet your Rival

(example, it doesn't have to look like this)
You're not the only one about to begin your Pokemon Training journey for the first time. Also beginning their adventure is your rival. You could meet them in any way you want, although the more interesting the better. They could be a nice person, although it would make more sense if they were self-centred like the stereotypical opponent. This part is optional, although having a rival can really help you create some twists and some really interesting battles.

Angel gazed at the small town she had stopped in. Nuvema Town. A quaint, pretty little place. She looked out over the ocean, and felt a pang of sadness. She missed DreamWeaver. She sighed. She had chosen to go on this journey, she needed to deal with what it entailed. She had eaten her breakfast outside, and finished her orange juice. She got up and headed to Professer Juniper's lab to recieve her starter pokemon and her town map and pokedex. She took a deep breath. Once she recieved her starter pokemon, there was absolutely no going back. She walked towards the doors, quite nervous. She walked in and greeted the pokemon professer. She gaver her a cute as can be shiny purrloin, along with her town map, pokedex and a few pokeballs to get started. Angel thanked the professer and walked out. She had named the purrloin NightStar. She was petting NightStar as she sat down on a bench. "I have a feeling you and I will go to great places together, little Nightstar", She said.

(OOC: Sometimes I will refer Gene as Vel or X)

Gene had just arrived in Nuvema town via a ferry from Sunnyshore city, Volkner the gym leader of Sunnyshore had got him a ticket so Vel could come to the Unova region to begin his pokemon journey and achieve his goal. As he got off the ferry he noticed that Nuvema didn't have a port so he was pretty much getting off at a beach near by the town. Irritated by the fact that he had to walked all the way over there Gene took this as an opportunity to look at some of the pokemon that roamed nearby. X say some time of puppy looking pokemon, a bird pokemon flying by and a rodent looking one also. He didn't know what pokemon they were but he knew that none of them really sparked his interest besides the bird one. He figured he would just use his started pokemon for a bit before he found a new pokemon that he found would be useful. Once he reached Nuvema town he noticed other people around his age go into a building at the right upper corner of the town.

"Must be where the professor of this region is located at," Gene said to himself as he quietly followed behind the others. As he reached the building he could tell this was a pokemon lab because he noticed this was the largest building in this small pathetic town. He slowly walked in and then looked around to see his competition. Then he saw Professor Juniper, she seemed like an odd woman to him always up beat and what not but X didn't really care he just wanted his pokemon.

"Hey professor lady don't worry about give these incompetent fools their pokemon and pokedexes just give me my pokemon and pokedex and you won't have to worry about a thing I'll be the one to beat the Unova league and document data on all the pokemon in this region these other fools will just get in my way!" Gene stated quiet loud, well loud enough for everyone to hear that was in a close proximity. Professor Juniper just gave X a weird look and handed him his starter pokemon's pokeball, a pokedex, some potions and a map.

"Thanks now just sit back and watch as Gene Velix Carnum takes the Unova region by storm with this pokemon you just gave me!" Vel exclaimed as he walked out of the laboratory with a devilish smile on his face. As he reached outside he pointed his pokeball to the ground and a green snake like pokemon somewhat beamed out in a bright flashing light.

"Snivy!" The green snake pokemon exclaimed as it stretched its body out. Gene was impressed this pokemon looked like it would make a great partner. From his guess this pokemon was built for speed and strength. Curious to learn more Gene took out his pokedex to find out more information.


"Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokémon. Cool, calm, and collected, Snivy uses photosynthesis to collect energy with the leaf on its tail."

"Alright a Snivy, you'll make a good partner says here you are a male and you know Tackle, Leer, Vine Whip, Wrap, and Magical Leaf. So let's give you a nickname, alright how about V! Hi V my name is Gene Carnum your trainer," Gene said as he put away his pokedex and got squatted down to V's level. The happy V stuck out his hand and the two shook hands, this was a start to a great friendship.

Angel saw a boy and his Snivy shaking hands. Just before that, the boy had yelling about being the best trainer or something like that. Angel didn't really pay attention to people who were annoying. However, NightStar was interested in the little grass snake pokemon, and jumped out of her arms and raced over to the Snivy and his trainer. NightStar was batting at the grass snake, wanting to either play or battle, Angel wasn't sure which one. She forgot to hide her wings as she ran over and scooped NightStar up into her arms. The unhappy cat pokemon wriggled, but Angel didn't let go. She looked at the boy. "I'm so sorry about that. Is your Snivy alright? I hope NightStar didn't hurt it.", She said, her lovely voice worried and apologetic. "Purr-loin!", Nightstar meowed. "None of that, little one", She told him. "Anymore of this and your going back into pokeball, which neither of us wants to do". NightStar looked at her with a 'aww, do I have to?' look. NightStar reached up with a paw and patted Angel's face gently. "Your a little suck up, but your too cute to be mad at", She said, smiling. Her jet-black wings created shade over herself, the boy, and their pokemon. "My name is Angel. Angel Morganth.", She said in a cheery voice.

Gene watched with an upset looking face as the annoying Purrloin teased V. He watched a bit as his Snivy tried to shoo away the cat looking pokemon by moving his hands as if he was brushing something off a surface. Gene besides straight forward introducing himself took out his pokedex and opened it in front of the cat pokemon.


Purrloin the Devious Pokemon, they steal from people for fun, but their victims can't help but forgive them. Their deceptively cute act is perfect.

"What an interesting pokemon, but at last this pokemon doesn't have any attacks or abilities that interest me how boring. It even has an fool of a trainer who doesn't even know what she is doing how.... let me see stupid," Gene said as V jumped onto his right shoulder. Gene brushed some hair out of his face with his right hand and then looked toward Angel. To his surprise she had quite the strangely unique eyes to him being someone with red eyes himself. He thought maybe he would converse with this girl just to find out what the competition would be like.

"My name is Gene Carnum and this is my Snivy V is there anything in particular that you want Angel Morganth?" Gene asked as he introduced himself. V was glaring at the Purloin he really didn't like NightStar

Angel was taken aback by the boy. She glared, angry. " Listen, boy. I am no fool, nor am I stupid. This Purrloin isn't my first pokemon.", She said, her tone angry. She took out her wallet and looked at the photo of her and DreamWeaver after they beat the Sinnoh League Champion, Cynthia. The Elite Four and Cynthia were in the photo as well. "DreamWeaver. A shiny Dragonair. She knows Dragon Rage, Dragon Rush, Agility, and Ice Beam. She and I traveled all over Sinnoh, battling and winning Gym badges. After we beat Cynthia we started compeating in the Sinnoh region contests. We won so many ribbons. I miss her so much", She said, looking a bit sad. She shook her head and her eyes got hard, cold. "The point is I'm not stupid or a fool", She said. NightStar was glaring at Gene. The cat pokemon started hissing. "Enough!", Angel hissed back. She was in no mood for it. NightStar looked hurt. "That won't work on me, little cat. Not this time", She said. Her lilac eyes were staring straight at Gene. The wind ruffled her feathers and one of the dead feathers floated to the ground in front of her. She turned and walked to the grassy part of the shore, only about 10 or 20 feet away. She took out some orange juice and started drinking it. She preened her wings after that, picking out the dead feathers and placing them in a neat pile of black. NightStar pounced on them, scattering the pile.

Gene laughed as the girl walked away he didn't care about her previous experiences. Anyone else probably would have been impressed but him not so much. So what if she had beaten Cynthia X could have probably done it five times over with just one pokemon. She was still a foolish female to him and she wasn't probably going to be a threat. He looked to his Snivy who was relaxing on his shoulder and smiled a bit as the two started to walk off.

"See ya later foolish girl!" Gene exclaimed as he started walking off hoping she heard that. V somewhat made a little hissing noise toward the Purrloin and then turned back to Gene. Gene pet his Snivy as the two walked through Nuvema town looking for something to do. Find nothing in his search he sat down up against a tree and began looking through his pokedex. His Snivy climbed up the tree and began napping while his trainer studied.

"Wow there are a lot of interesting pokemon in here V some of these look worthy enough to catch," X said as he looked through the pokedex and V let out a loud yawn.

After many hours of lounging around on the boat, a noise which sounded like a bell had began to ring into Carl's ears, waking him up from a snooze. Immediately, Carl looked out of the window of the boat, to notice that he had arrived in Nuvema Town, Unova. He could tell this from the docks beside the big harbour, where all the passengers were already beginning to leave the boat. Ecstatic, Carl got up from his seat and walked as fast as he could of the boat, trying not to push any of the senior citizens in his way.
Eventually, Carl stepped of the boat and onto the docks, and the sun's rays had flashed into the pupils of his eyes. He'd been asleep for so long that he didn't realise how bright and sunny it was. Saying this, he was in a different region now, and the weather would be different. The sun had lit up this small town, and the forestry which supported it. The green grass and the tall trees were all that could be seen, apart from the odd house around the town. So far, Carl wasn't so impressed.
"Hmm, I'd have imagined that there'd have been more to Unova than this..." he had thought to himself on frist impression, "Eh, oh well." he began to walk along the footpath of the town, checking if there was anything which interested him. However, there was nothing to be seen. As far as Carl was concered, Nuvema Town was a grannyfest. Small houses, trees, and the lack of shops didn't impress Carl at all.
On the other hand, there was one thing which Carl had remembered about, and that was the Professor. Somewhere around town, he would be able to seek out where she would be and then accept his starter Pokemon, Pokedex and other essentials for his journey. However, with no map at this current moment, Carl had no clue as to where she would be. Therefore, Carl had to fight his timid nature and ask one of the passers by where she would be.
"Um, excuse me." Carl got the attention of some short, and rather plump looking old lady, "Would you happen to know where I could find Professor Juniper?"
"Of course I do! You see that big building over there?" she pointed to the complex situated in a distance behind Carl. He turned around.
"Oh. I never noticed that, haha. Is that it?"
"Indeed it is, dear. I assume she'll be in, as there's been quite a few newcomers today. You must have some competition ahead!" she explained, in a friendly manner.
"Good! I can't wait! Thanks for your help!" Carl thanked her, and then they both headed off in different directions. Now that Carl knew where he was going, his speed began to pick up with excitement. Each footstep felt like a step towards heaven, as he was almost there - almost ready to begin. It didn't take Carl long to realise that he was running, getting closer to the lab whilst other people stood and stared in bewilderness, they didn't see how long Carl had been waiting for this.
Finally, he had arrived. Carl had turned up at the doors of the Pokemon Laboratory of Unova, and a younger chiild had walked out at the same time, with a very jolly expression on his face and a Poke Ball clutched in his hand. This made Carl even more excited, so without further ado, Carl opened the door and walked inside slowly, holding his excited emotions back, to then seen Juniper tending to one other trainer. A girl, who looked a similar age to Carl, although not similar at all in style. Her hair was bleach blonde, and her eyes were a dull shade of hazel, and they lit up once she had received her gear from Juniper. Just that moment, she had left the building, turning to Carl.
"I'm going to be a much better trainer than you! I can tell!" she said, bragging as if she had knew him like he was her brother. It was an unnecessary comment, and slightly immature.
"Pfft, yeah right." Carl muttered as she strolled out without a care. He let the comment float over his head, his mind was elsewhere, and that was his Pokemon which he was about to receive. Juniper had spotted him.
"Oh, hello! What's your name?" she had asked friendly.
"Carl." he said, first sounding shy, "Carl Banks. I'm from Rustboro City. I contacted you in advance to let you know I was coming."
"Oh yes! I remember!" she said, sounding so sure, "You seem very interesting, the son of someone as experienced as someone who works in a company such as Devon Goods." she stopped for a second, Carl smiled deeply. She continued to speak, walking over to a big machine.
"Now, your starter Pokemon." as she said this, Carl shiverred a bit. He was so excited, the most excited he had ever been, "I have looked at your personality and I think that you seem like a really fiery personality. Therefore, I've got the perfect Pokemon for you to begin with."
She picked up the Poke Ball from the machine, and pushed the button in the middle, and out popped a small, orange and black piglet. Carl had stared in fascination.
"This is Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokemon." Juniper had announced, Tepig then smiling and jumping about. "He's really cute, isn't he? He's also has the potential to be really powerful." she continued to describe.
Carl had nothing to say yet, he was too busy taking all this in. Tepig looked so brilliant to him, and Carl was honoured to use it as his first ever Pokemon.
"I'll take it!" Carl said enthusiastically. Juniper laughed, and returned Tepig into the Poke Ball, handing it to him.
"That's excellent! Now you just need a couple more things before you leave." Juniper reached into her pocket, "Here are a few items which will help you in your journey. Here is the Pokedex, of which you can register the Pokemon who you see during your journey with. Here is the Town Map, which will guide you from town to town so you won't get lost. And here..." she handed these two items to Carl, while collecting a couple more objects out of the desk beside her, "...and here are some Poke Balls to get you started! You may see a Pokemon who you like on Route 1 to the north, and if you do, you may use these to catch it. However, it's better to weaken them first with your Pokemon, that'll make them easier to be caught."
"I understand, I've done my research." Carl felt confident, and nodded.
"Well then, I suppose it's time for you to get started! The first Gym is two towns to the north, in Straiton City. Keep in touch!" she said with a big smile on his face.
Carl packed the objects he received into the bag on his shoulder, and began to leave the lab. This is it. Finally, he had received his first Pokemon, Tepig, and he was mroe than thrilled. At this moment, he could not wait to get started with his first battle, whoever it may be with. One thing was for sure, he wanted to build up his team with many Pokemon to cross his path, and beat all the Gym Leaders and eventually the Pokemon League. This was his dream, his destiny, and it was only just about to take flight.

- Carl obtained a Level 10 Tepig
- Carl obtained a Pokedex
- Carl obtained a Town Map
- Carl obtained five Poke Balls

Neil’s sapphire eyes flashed open, but he continued to rest on his back in the quaint ship cabin. The speaker in the corner of the room above the white leather loveseat gently buzzed.

“Welcome to
NuvemaTown
, and to Unova. It’s been a pleasure to accompany you all, and I hope you enjoy your stay,” the captain’s deep voice hummed before silence fell like a veil over the teenager’s room. He assumed most of the other passenger’s were crowding the deck, luggage in hand, ready to exit the luxurious ship. At that thought, a pang twisted in Neil’s stomach, but whether it derived from his feelings of anxiousness or homesick was up in the air.

After nearly a half an hour of collecting his belongings which he had needed out over night and double checking the room for anything he may have forgotten, Neil made his way up to the main deck where the exit ramp branched off of. He stopped at the top of the ramp, which reminded him of a plank, his hand nervously clenching the rope-railing. The little town was before him, nestled in a clearing in a forest of pines, small houses mostly dotting the area, though one larger, refined building stood out behind everything else. And Neil knew that was his destination.

He was glued to the spot, though. A few people straggling behind the rest, like himself, weaved around the young man and made their way onto Unova, but Neil’s legs were held at the edge by anchors. But then his cheek tingled with the most soothing sensation. A new, crisp breeze had picked up over the gentle sea and suddenly Neil felt confidence bubbling in his gut, and a taste of inspiration peppered his tongue. So he effortlessly walked down the ramp without a hint of shame, backpack slung over his shoulder and mini-suitcase in hand, craving adventure.

After walking straight to the Pokemon lab which Neil had earlier identified, he hesitated at the electrically sliding doors, before locking his intentions on getting a Pokemon. He stepped forward and the doors slid open. As he trounced in with once again revived confidence, someone yelled:

“Whoa there!” A girl practically leaped out of Neil’s path, catching herself on the wall. Blushing, he froze once more. Apparently his confidence had blinded him to oncoming traffic.

“Sorry sorry, my bad! I’m really sorry!” he slurred with a pleading tone, wanting to face-palm his flushed face. But upon glancing at his victim, Neil could literally feel his jaw drop.

This girl was flipping gorgeous. Her dark hair ended at her shoulders in elegant ringlets, which nicely complemented her expertly tanned complexion. She had eyes of ice in the middle of her flawless face. From what he could see, her bod was hoppin’ as well. On her shoulder was a yellow puff thing, with multiple eyes and legs- a Bug type, no doubt. The girl’s captivating eyes rolled, emanating her sass.


“Christ calm down. No damage done, we’re all good aren’t we?” the hot chick rapidly questioned, turning the pity on him as she inquired about his state, though in a very rude and roundabout manner. Neil stared silently for a moment, and her perfect eyebrows rose impatiently.

“Yeah yeah. Look I really should’ve been watching wh-“

“Save the sputtering apology, won’t you? I haven’t got the time.” She then proceeded to force her way past him and out the doors, which were still being held open since Neil was near enough to the sensor.

“Wait a second!” he called, watching this girl attempt to leave on such a bad note. “Please,” he added kindly after she ignored him. The girl stopped and turned. “Look, we got off on a rough foot, can we just redo this?” Neil couldn’t figure out why he was trying to hard for a girl who clearly had no interest in him. Instead of commenting, her eyebrows again rose, insisting that he continue. Shrugging, he proceeded to introduce himself.

“I’m Neil,” Neil stated with a little, innocent smile. She smiled back, but mockingly.

“And I’m late.” Shocked and offended, the boy subconsciously stepped backwards, and the doors slid shut with flawless timing as the late girl finally departed with no intentions of being interrupted again.

So it was with destroyed confidence and heavy steps that Neil entered the Professor’s lab. Juniper, a fairly young, jolly woman with dazzlingly green eyes welcomed the boy to the new region and showed him to his options in a circular machine. There was at least a dozen spots around the circumference, but only about six Pokeballs remained.

“I’ve been reading up on your bio, and I think this little guy will keep you company nicely,” she said professionally, and grabbed a Pokeball out of the machine before opening it. A red ray sliced the air in the room and a little white-yellow-and-black squirrel appeared, cheeping happily, and leaped over to Neil, looking up with enormous black eyes. “This Emolga is particularly affectionate, though maybe a bit clingy. What do you say? Does he look like a good match?”

Neil swayed a bit, his head light as a balloon. A permanent partner, that’s what he needed.

“He’s perfect.” The professor smiled, though her new "pupil" remained resolute like a gargoyle.

"Excellent, then here is a Pokedex that I'd like you to try to fill. Just point it at a Pokemon, like so, and it registers its data." She pointed the machine at the Emolga, and the machine read, in an automated voice:

"They live on treetops and glide using the inside of a cape-like membrane while discharging electricity."

"Also, here are some Pokeballs so you may enhance your team, and this is a map of the region. Good luck!" the woman quickly spewed, hastening the conversation as another teenager entered the room. Taking the cue, Neil left the lab and stretched in the sunlight bathing Nuvema Town, a companion nestled on his shoulder.

Nuvema Town and Alex

'Ladies and gentlemen, we've arrived in Nuvema Town, remember to take everything with you, everything you leave in the ferry will be lost', A woman voice said through an intercom. A chubby boy wearing a black vest stood up he grabbed his black backpack and put it on his back, next to him stood a small pink pokemon.

'Mun, Munna', The pink pokemon said. 'I know, it's cool isn't', the boy said. The two of them left the ferry and made their first step in Unova and Nuvema Town. ' Yeah, we've finally arrived in Nuvema town our journey is about to start', The boy cried excited. 'Where are we supposed to go now', he grabbed a list out of his left pocket and read it. 'Wake up...get on the ferry...go to the lab of professor Juniper', The boy read. 'Munna let's go and find professor Junipers....'. BOINK.

'Can't you watch out', A boy shouted to Max. The boy was light skinned had brown hair, he wore a blue polo and had black jeans. 'What do you mean, you bumped up to me remember', Max shouted back. 'Hmpfh, whatever', The boy said and he walked away. 'What was that all about', Max thought in himself and he walked to the town and started searching for the Lab. After half an hour he arrived he went inside.

'Alex I'm happy you want to help me', A female voice said, as Max came closer he saw the boy who bumped up to him talking to the professor. 'Ooh hello, you must be Max, my name is Juniper, professor Juniper', The professor said while greating Max. 'Ye-yes Ma'am', Max stuttered. Juniper moved her head towards Alex ' Wait for Max, you guys can start your journeys together'. Max and Alex faces both transformed both angry. 'Sure', Alex said with a fake smile on his face. 'Max to make a long story short I would really appreciate it if you would help complete this pokedex for me', Juniper said while showing Max the pokedex, it was a red box with a black button on it. ' The pokedex is an encyclopedia, every time you meet a pokemon it's info will be stored in the pokedex', Juniper explained. 'In order to catch the pokemon you'll need this though', She said and handed Max the pokedex and five pokeballs. ' And here is a town map, you can use it whenever you get lost'. 'Thank you professor', Max said happily, he had a huge smile on his face. 'You're welcome now go, have fun, I'll connect you as soon as possible, you both', Juniper told the boys. The boys walked away, both looking to each other angrily, as soon as they got out of the lab Alex started talking to Max. ' Pathetic, a boy like you getting such a responsibility'. Max was surprised. ' I bet you can't even win one pokemon battle', Alex continued. 'I accept the challenge', Max replied. 'Allright then meet me at route 1 and we'll settle this', Alex said and he walked away.

'What a jerk', Max said to Munna. 'We're going to take that guy out'. 'Mun, Munna', Munna cried. 'That's the spirit Mun', Max smiled and he walked to route 1

Angel hissed at Gene and his Snivy. "If you think your so tough, why don't you and I have ourselves a little battle on route 1. What do you say Gene?", She asked. "I'll be waiting on Route 1 for you. Don't leave me hanging", and with that she turned away. She saw more kids come out with pokemon. One had a Munna and another had a Tepig. She tossed her head, her silky hair flying everywhere. Her first impression of the people here was not a good one, and she didn't feel inclined to go and introduce herself. Not after what had happened the first time. She finished her orange juice and packed away her feathers. She got up and started walking. The boy with the Munna had run into another boy on the way off the ferry. She shook her head. She scooped up NightStar and carried him. She was wearing her backpack, so all she needed to do now was walk. She saw the boy with the Munna heading her way. She put NightStar on her shoulder and put her hair up in a high pony-tail. NightStar curled around her neck and fell asleep. She stopped after walking for 10 minutes. This is where she and Gene would have their battle. It was a nice, flat area. "Rest and gain strength, my baby. I'm certian you'll need it. Don't under-estimate V. I suspect that he has more than he's shown us", she said, petting the cat.

briiiiiiiiiiing!

ugh...wha?

briiiiiiiiiiing!

...oh crap, the alarm!

A thin arm slowly emerged from a mountain of blankets that covered the queen sized bed, and inched toward the alarm clock nestled on the bedside table. A tired, disheveled head creeper out of the warm bundle and looked at the clock.

"Uh....how is it so late already?" Josh mumbled incoherently to no one in particular. He gradually lifted himself out of bed and stumbled over to the bathroom mirror, grabbing some clothes along the way. He dressed quickly, slipping on a plain black t shirt, black hoodie, and one of his seemingly countless pairs of cargo pants.

Adorned with more pockets than a backpack warehouse, and a necklace with half a dozen pokeballs attached to it, Josh looked quite strange indeed. However, he couldn't care less; in his mind, practicality beat style any day.

He finally shook the sleep out of his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror, bringing a hand up to smooth out his hair when he realized that his hair never looked any different whether he had woken up or had been through a windstorm.

As the fog of exhaustion finally cleared from his mind, he perked up, remembering why he had bothered to get up in the first place: he was getting his first Pokemon today! Josh double checked to make sure he hadn't left anything, and headed out the door of the hotel he was staying at, leaving the maid to clean up the mess.

----

Josh had only been in Nuvema town for two days, but he already loved the place. Quiet and tranquil, with a temperate climate and an awesome beach view, the town was everything he enjoyed. Excited though he was, he walked slowly through the small streets, enjoying the cool air and scenery. Eventually, he came upon a large building and smiled; he had arrived at the lab.

-----

"Hey, ah, is anyone here?" Josh asked to the seemingly empty room. "Oh, hello! My name is Professor Juniper! You're quite late, you know." A woman said, stepping out from behind some machinery. Josh looked at the woman wearing a tank top, short skirt and tennis shoes, and let out a chuckle. "Something tells me that's not exactly standard scientist apparel, professor..." he replied with a smirk. "So, where's my new best friend at?"

"Well, several trainers beat you here, but I still have a few Pokemon here. How about this one?", the professor asked, opening the closest ball. Light shimmered out of the red and white orb and settled on the floor in front of them.

A small, furry, vaguely rodent like creature sat on the floor looking up at Josh. "Wow....I've seen more intimidating balls of dryer lint....". He clearly wasn't impressed. "Oh come now, Josh, minccino is a very popular Pokemon! You're lucky to have one!", the always upbeat professor said. "Eh, at least it's not a trubbish, I guess...." Josh said quietly, picking up his new Pokemon. The energetic ball of fur looked up at him, as if studying the new trainer. After a few moments, minccino smiles and pressed against Josh's chest, apparently trying to hug him.

"Awww....how cute! You two seem to be getting along great already!" Juniper exclaimed with a smile. "Haha yeah, at least he'll help me meet women" Josh replied with a slight smirk.

"Well, before you two head out, I should give you your map, pokedex, and some spare pokeballs", Juniper said, handing him the supplies. Josh deposited the pokedex and map on two of his seemingly endless pockets, but rejected the pokeballs, pointing to his necklace and saying "no thanks doc; I already have five spares and I don't plan on getting more than six Pokemon." He attached his minccino's empty ball to the empty slot on his necklace, filling it with six balls.

"Well, what do you say we hang around town a while before we head out on our adventure?" Josh asked the bundle of cute in his hands. Minccino smiled at him and climbed onto his shoulder to ride on.

"Thanks for everything professor! I won't let you down!" Josh yelled as he walked out the door, not bothering to wait to see how she responded.

Gene laughed even harder when the girl challenged him to a battle. This is to funny first he finds out that the trainers here are going to be morons and now he gets to test V’s strength great! He would go to route one and quickly beat the girl and then scout out the other trainers. Gene looked to V who was resting on his shoulder and gave him a devilish smile.
“Alright V our first battle will be with that Purrloin don’t underestimate our enemy always expect the unexpected and don’t hold back,” X said in a serious voice. His words sounded like words of encouragement and V jumped off Gene’s shoulder and made a small noise. V was fired up and so was Gene but before he was going to go fight this girl and totally destroy her he wanted to see the other trainers.

He watched one boy run out of the Pokémon lab with a Tepig another with a Emolga. Gene laughed a bit when he listened in on the boy with the Munna’s conversations with another person. Another battle uh? After gene would defeat Angel he would go and watch the other making sure his Snivy paid attention to how the others fought. None of the other trainers impressed him they all seemed like they would just get in his way of making it to the top but whatever if they got in his way he’d just knock them down. Gene walked for a few moments with V besides him before they stopped with Angel in view. This was it his first battle and it would probably be easy.

“Alright Angel! I’m ready for our little battle now!” Vel shouted to his opponent a confident look on his face.

Angel had closed her eyes, enjoying the sunshine on Route 1. It was very pretty here, lots of flowers, trees, grass, everything. She heard Gene and opened her eyes. She smiled. "About time. I thought you'd never show up", She teased. She set NightStar down, much to the cat's annoyance. She gestured to Gene and V. "Your move first. I never attack first. It's against my battle style.", She said calmly. NightStar braced herself, ready for the attack. Nightstar hissed at V. "Now, now NightStar. Behave yourself. No matter how this turns out, I'll be very proud of you. As long as you do your best, it doesn't matter to me wether you win or lose.", She said, petting the cat."Purr-loin", NightStar purred.

With Carl finally gaining his starter Pokemon and his tools to begin his journey, there was nothing in his way of stopping him. So, without further ado, Carl cheerfully walked out of the Pokemon Lab and walked down the path heading towards Route 1.
Everything was still looking the same. Trees, trees, and more trees. However, as the afternoon was passing by, the sunlight reflecting over the trees was beginning to ware off slightly. Carl wasn't bothered though, all he wanted to do right now was to just head on off to the first gym. During Carl's walk, he spotted the girl who he saw before, who rudely commented towards him. Carl tried his best to avoid eye contact, but that didn't stop her. Once their paths crossed, she sjirachied. Carl turned around.
"You got something to say to me?" he didn't take too kindly to people who insult him, especially if he doesn't know them.
"Yeah." she bowed her head, "You're not going to stand a chance out there. I can tell just by looking at you."
"Excuse me?!"
"You heard me. I'm going to be the best. And once I'm the champion, you're going to have to face me if you ever want to take that title away from me." part the way through she was speaking, Carl shook his head.
"Don't bet on that." he kept his cool.
"Don't be so sure. It won't be long until the name Hayley Sandford becomes familiar to you. That's me, by the way." she introduced herself.
"Oh, really? I'm Carl Banks, and you're going to be hearing my name a lot as well. Maybe all the gym leaders will tell you about me and the way I battled them so well once you get started." Carl began arguing, turning his head back away from her.
"Oh, I'm just getting started right about now. You think you're a better trainer than me, why don't you battle me? We'll see who the real trainer is." Hayley told him, with a smug expression on her face.
"Of course, I don't mind. Got nothing to lose. Unlike you, who claims to have the reputation of a queen." Carl wasn't afraid of her at all. In fact, this was what he wanted. It'd be nice for Tepig to get started on a battle at this stage.
"Okay then, bring it!" she didn't seem too scared either. Straight away, she clicked her finger in front of Carl's face, and then both of them walked a few paces backwards, then turning around again.
This was Carl's first ever battle. Maybe not Hayley's, but it was definitely going to be a battle to remember for Carl, hopefully for the right reasons. While Hayley was determined to prove that she was going to be the better trainer, Carl was as well, but it didn't look as if he was anywhere near as bothered as Hayley was. She was arrogant, and didn't like being told what she could and couldn't do. Carl's realistic personality clashed with Hayley's cocky, self-centred personality.
"Alright, come on out, Tepig!" Carl took the small Poke Ball out of his bag, tossed it to the ground and then caught it back, Tepig came out of the Poke Ball, looking fierce. It saw Hayley, and immediately sensed that it was the rival, and pushed it's body back while small sparks of fire shot towards the ground from it's nostrils.
"Ha! A Fire-type? Oh, this battle should be easy. Show them your stuff, Tympole!" Hayley had took the Poke Ball from her red bag and had also thrown it to the ground, releasing Tympole. Small, scrawny faced and it had no legs. To keep up on the ground. It had to flop it's translucent orange tail above the ground. However, Carl noticed something unusual.
"Wait, isn't Tympole meant to have a blue tail?" Carl questioned, remembering this from his research.
"Nope. However, this Tympole is special, like me. Only Tympole is a shiny Pokemon, I received it as my starter Pokemon off Juniper. Isn't it adorable?" she did reveal her soft, girly side a little.
"Uh... not really." Carl said. Hayley humphed, not feeling impressed with Carl, and folding her arms. Carl had enough of the small talk, and wanted to get the battle over with. Thankfully, he could remember what he had studied during his research and knew the moves which Tepig had available.
"Okay, enough! Tepig, kick this off with Tackle!" he pointed to Tympole, and Tepig has launched off it's hind legs to charge at Tympole.
"Jump!" Hayley had quickly interruped the attack, commanding Tympole to move quickly, which it did - it's tail bounced off the ground a couple of metres and did a little backflip, Tepig charging right through the space where Tympole was and missing. It stopped and turned back.
"Okay, quickly! Try again!" Carl shouted. Fortunately, Tepig had heard, and had took a revenge shot at Tympole, who was struck off the ground and knocked forward. The attack didn't appear to hurt too much, but Tympole had recoiled for a second right before it got back up.
"Ugh! How dare you! Tympole, use Bubble while it's still close! Hayley wasn't happy at Carl's strategy. As soon as Tympole had heard Hayley's command, it had turned back quickly and had released many small, crystal clear bubbles from it's mouth, which travelled quite quickly.
"Run away from that, Tepig!!" Carl had interrupted the attack, just like Hayley before. Tepig wasn't too fast though, and while it was trying to run further away from the bubbles, they had caught up and smacked into Tepig's body. Because Tepig is weak to Water typed attacks, it did hurt a tad. However, after a shake, Tepig was ready to carry on.
"You're going to have to do better than that, dear." Carl bowed his head and chuckled, noticing that Tepig was barely affected.
"Don't worry. I can. Just you watch! Use Round!" straight away, Hayley had commanded Tympole to attack again. Tympole began to open it's tiny mouth, which appeared to be a whole lot bigger once opened. Then, it began to dance about on it's tail, and then sing an enormously loud tune. This noise made Tepig shake, trying to hold the noise away from it's ears. Even Carl and Hayley had their fingers in their ears, trying to block it out.
"Oh no you don't! Tepig, use Yawn!" Tepig had also opened it's mouth, then beginning to stretch out and yawn out a wave of drowzy energy, which had transferred all the way over to Tympole, who had suddenly ended it's attack. It's tail began to flap slower, and it fell closer to the ground.
"Pfft, is that the best you've got? Sleep? Ha! No worries. You just rest, Tympole!" normally the average trainer would be scared of sleep. This had Carl confused.
"What? Isn't sleep a bad thing?"
"Oh, you'll see." Hayley closed her eyes and smiled, in the confident manner she normally uses.
"Uh... yeah. Right. Tepig, use Ember!" Tepig had shot out a couple of sparks from it's nose, before then shooting a barrage of flares out a couple of seconds later. These flares had ended up hitting Tympole's body, which was just laying there on the ground, it's tail feebly slappng the ground, sleeping.
"Okay, now Tympole, use Sleep Talk!" so, this was the plan that Hayley had up her sleeve. Carl gasped in shock, he wasn't expecting this. Tympole had flapped it's tail for a bit, and had then began to open it's mouth again,
"Tyyyym-" breathing in air, "-poooooooole!" shooting out high pitched waves from it's mouth. This was Supersonic, and Carl knew what effects this could have on Tepig.
"Oh no! quick! Avoid that!" immediately, Tepig oinked and jumped out of the direction of the waves, causing no effect.
"Ugh!! Come on!" Hayley wasn't taking Carl's tricks so well. Meanwhile, he was really enjoying this battle, making her look like a fool. On the other hand, he did understand that she was pretty smart, using a move like Sleep Talk.
"Tepig, use Tackle!" Tepig didn't have many attacking moves at this moment, so this would have to do.
"Tepig, tepiiiig!", it took off from it's hind legs and charged towards Tympole, who was still fast asleep.
"Tyyyym!" once Tympole was hit, it screamed for a couple of seconds as it flew in the air, then hit the ground again and going back to sleep.
"Okay, use Sleep Talk again!" Hayley was still confident that this would work, and as Tepig was close, it could be even more accurate. It had appeared to have woken up for a second once again.
"Tyyyympole!" Tympole had then shot out a cannon of small bubbles towards Tepig, who was turned around until it had noiced them. The bubbles struck a shocked Tepig, who jumped and fell onto it's back.
"Yes! You should have seen this coming, fool." Hayley had ruled herself out as the winner, although she didn't know that the battle wasn't over yet. Matter of fact, Carl was still winning, and he had took advantage of this.
"That doesn't matter. Come on Tepig, use Ember and make it a strong one!"
"Teeeeeeepig!" Tepig hurled back it's throat, and had then shot out hundreds of little balls of fire which headed across the air, and to a started Tympole who woke up to the shock of scorching fireballs. Now it had looked rough, and didn't look like it could do much more.
"No! Tympole!" Hayley didn't like how this battle was turning out, and it was about to be over.
"Okay, let's round this up! Use Ember one last time, Tepig!" Carl had smiled in ecstacy, he was almost there.
"Te-" Tepig had retained it's neck backwards, and had then shot out another bunch of small fireballs "-piiiiiiig!"
"Tympole!!" the ember had struck Tympole, who couldn't take any more and had fell back to the ground and didn't get back up. It had became cross-eyed, meaning that it was knocked out, meaning Carl's Tepig had won the battle.
"Yes!!" Carl was in the mood of his life. His first ever battle, and it was a win. All that research he had carried out before he had began his journey had paid off. With a smile on his face, he headed over to Tepig to pet it. Tepig had also had a big grin on it's face, as their bond was just beginning to develop. Carl took the Poke Ball back out of his bag. "You did a great job, Tepig! Return!"
"It's alright Tympole, you'll do better next time. Return." Hayley, in disappointment, had returned her Pokemon and tried not to look back at Carl. She didn't like the reminder of how she had lost, especially after how confident she was.
"Now what?" Carl said, looking at her, feeling satisfied with himself. Hayley looked, and then straight away, ran off towards Route 1. Carl laughed.
"Haha! See you, definitely wouldn't want to be you!" he shouted, smiling.
Now that he had won his first battle, he was certainly ready to go, Hayley was the perfect practice from him, the rivalry which had just develloped between them was enough to fuel him up to create a strategy for Tepig and eventually, win. His work in Nuvema Town was done, and he had also began to walk over to Route 1, slowly.

-Tepig had grown to Level 12.

Lance had just arrived in Nuvema town via a plane to Sinnoh, and a ferry to Unova so that he could get a new start in a new place. As he got off of the ferry he noticed that Nuvema didn't have a port so he was pretty much getting off at a beach near by the town. Lance saw that the place was a small town, and he laughed at the fact that it was a popular stop, and that there was no port or even a proper dock. Lance had planned that he would spend some time learning about the pokemon of the region.

"This must be the professor's place." Lance said as he looked and saw only one building that stood up. He slowly walked in and then looked around to see his competition. Then he saw Professor Juniper, she seemed like a nice woman and Lance smiled at her and she smiled back.

"My name is Professor Juniper! You're quite late, you know." A woman said, stepping out from behind some machinery. Josh looked at the woman wearing a tank top, short skirt and tennis shoes, and Lance let out a chuckle saying, "You seem a bit young to be a Professor."

"Yes, well I am quite young for my profession I get that all the time, but now to your own issues. Several trainers beat you here, but I still have a few Pokemon here. How about this one?", the professor asked, opening the closest ball. Energy emanated out of the red and white orb and settled on the floor in front of them.



"Hm, a Pidove! I know you two will be great friends." Juniper exclaimed with a smile. All Lance was hoping was that the Pokemon was at least good enough for battle.

"Well, before you two head out, I should give you your map, pokedex, and some spare pokeballs", Juniper said, handing him the supplies. Lance took all of the supplies and said, "Thank you."

"Let's get acquainted Pidove. I wonder how much potential you have?" Lance said as he put Pidove on his shoulder.

"Thanks for everything professor! I'll make sure that your time wasn't wasted on me." Lance said as he strolled out, when he got out he used his Pokedex and checked his partner.


"Alright, a Pidove, you'll make a good partner says here you are a male and you know Gust, Growl, Leer and Brave Bird." Lance said as he smiled at his partner's attacks, itching to watch a good battle so he could know what and what not to do, as he began strolling around town."

Josh and Minccino spent a few hours wandering around town, getting to know each other before they headed out on their adventure. Most of that time was spent in a small secluded park not far from the lab, sitting on a bench and watching the people and Pokemon go by. There weren't many people in the small seaside village, but the few that were there were certainly very eccentric. The pair saw no less than three clowns, and one man proudly wearing pink jeans.

While Josh's mind was reeling as to where exactly one would procure a pair of pink jeans, Minccino decided to try a new method of transportation. Instead of riding on Josh's shoulder, the chinchilla climbed to the top of his head, sitting and grabbing two clumps of his hair to keep from falling off. Josh found this new behavior very annoying at first, but quickly changed his mind when a group of girls came up to him, raving about how cute his Pokemon was.

"Well Fuzzball, it looks like you might actually be useful for something!", Josh said jokingly with a smirk as he imagined Minccino scowling down at him from atop its cranial perch. Josh always found it amazing how all Pokemon were capable of understanding human speech, no latter how unintelligent certain species *cough, slowpoke, cough* seemed. The two were on their way to the town gate, ready to head out into the unknown. Josh recalled Juniper saying that several new trainers had gotten their Pokemon earlier than he had today, and wanted to see if he could find at least a couple to travel with. As luck would have it, he saw a pair of trainers, one male and one female, in what looked to be an argument far off into the distance on route 1. Josh thought he could make out the distinct shape of a purrloin beside the female, but he couldn't be sure.

Just as he was about to race off after his new potential companions, he heard a rustling noise from behind him. Spinning around quickly, a pokeball Unchained from his necklace already in hand, Josh was disappointed to see that it was a girl standing behind him, and not a Pokemon for him to catch.

The girl looked to be about his age, and just an inch or so shorter than him. She was extremely thin, almost unhealthily so, with very pale skin and long black hair. She was wearing clothes with shades of black that matched so perfectly, it was hard to tell where her tank top ended and her jeans began. Her face was attractive; not supermodel quality mind you, but more than enough for one to want to take a second look. She had a large amount of (black, surprise surprise) eyeliner on, that served to accentuate her eyes more.

The girl said nothing, instead just staring at Josh for what started at five, but grew to more than thirty, seconds.

Okay, Josh, now would be a good time to walk away the voice of reason in his mind told him. This chick is beyond creepy. If you don't get out of there now, you'll end up in pieces in this girl's basement. Unfortunately for logic, Josh resisted the urge to run away screaming and broke the silence, saying simply, "uh.....hi?"

"Oh! Omigod, I'm so sorry...I didn't mean to just stare at you like that, I just....I'm not good with people, I guess...", the girl exclaimed sheepishly.

"Uh, it's fine....so....why were you following me like that?" Josh replied. Another awkward silence overcame the two, though this one was nowhere near as long. "I just....I wanted to ask you...I mean, oh nevermind..." the girl stammered. so maybe this girl is just a bit shy, but I'm still kinda getting a serial killer vibe from her. You sure you don't wanna just walk away? Josh's logical side chimed in helpfully. "OK, so what's your name? Mine's Josh" he asked. "Crystal..." the girl responded gingerly.

Attempting to find some common ground to break the ice with this odd person, Josh noticed that she had a pokeball hanging from a strap on her jeans. "Are you a trainer, Crystal? Do you want to battle?" He asked, to which she quickly replied "no, all I have is a roggenrola, and she just hatched from an egg, so she's not ready for battle yet....my brother's a Pokemon breeder..." she responded, showing a small glint of happiness.

"Well, me and my Minccino here were about to set off on the archetypical Pokemon adventure, and were looking for someone to travel with, and you seem to be doing the same so....Care to join?" Josh inquired.

"No, I can't....I'm off to go visit someone right now...." Crystal said, turning away and starting to walk back into town. "oh, that's fine, I understand!" Josh replied, not buying her story as she was clearly headed out of town a moment ago. After a few seconds she turned around and meekly said "I....I hope to see you again sometime....", and returned back to walking into town. "Uh, sure....sounds good!" Josh called out to her before she disappeared.

"Well that was weird...." Josh told Minccino. "Eh, Let's just get this adventure started!" He said, turning back to the route. The two arguing trainers were gone. "Well, looks like we're on our own for the timme being, little guy!" He said with a shrug as they walked out into the wilderness.

-----

OoC: haha I defy you rk9 and your suggestion to make my rival all self confident and arrogant by making Crystal the polar opposite of Gary! :P
