Pokemon, Silver Ambition - Kanto

Introduction
I. The Past
The Kanto region has seemingly always been a land filled with conflict. The great Pokemon war, the exploits of Giovanni and his villainous Team Rocket along with all the lasting aftereffects and the ripples of trauma created in other regions. Kanto has had a tough break this past century. Soon after the final fall of Team Rocket, many smaller gangs broke out across the region until the ex-leader of Team Rocket - Giovanni returned from his extended vacation. The man had grown old, his hair had grayed and his eyes had grown weary. The ex-criminal mastermind crushed the rising gangs with his powerful Pokemon and then turned himself in to the authorities along with a short list of all those still acting on the Rocket name.
It seemed all was going to be peaceful at the time, but in the shadows another name slowly gained fame. Giovanni was often visited in prison by his son Silver, who eventually grew up and became a scientist. Starting out as an employee at Silph Co., the young man quickly learned and rose to the top to join the board of directors. After a few years of holding that position, a new threat rose within the region and all fingers pointed towards the son of the ex-Rocket leader. To silence his accusers, the now young man of twenty-five left his seat at the board and quickly quelled the new threat. Reporters flocked to interview the man, and Silver happily accepted.
Following the incident, Silver announced that he would create his own research and development company. Silph Co. apologized for hastily accusing him and compensated their actions with a rather large sum of cash to help in kickstarting his new company. Several gyms followed soon after, and their leaders left to join as a part of this new company's board. Silver named the company after his father's organization - Team Rocket. At first there was some backlash. Many thought that Silver was blatantly trying to revive the criminal organization, but after he and his father both revealed what his intentions had been at the founding of the company most of their complaints disappeared. However, the Kanto Police continued to keep a watchful eye over the operations of the newly founded Silver Rocket Research Company for several years before accepting there was no shady business to be found.
II. The Present
Fifty years have passed since the formation of the Silver Rocket Research Company, bringing most of the founding members up into their late eighties or nineties. Silver remains the only original member still on the board of directors, and he has stated that he wishes to remain in this position until his death despite outbursts from his children. In the past fifty years, Kanto has been peaceful. Crime is at an all time low and poverty is moving towards not existing. However, there are still some who feel the pressure of rising economic prices. Though the economy is doing well, some talent-less single parent homes are struggling to make ends meet.
Trainers who peaked at reaching the Indigo Plateau have fallen on to hard times, failing to achieve the glory that making the Hall of Fame brings. Their only options have since become to continue traveling the regions and hope that they manage to enter and complete the challenge of another Pokemon League, renounce their dreams of being a professional trainer or take on a life of crime. Most trainers opt for the first option, hoping that one day they'll make it big. Others who also desire to have families fall for the second option, taking on low paying jobs to afford paying bills and feeding both Pokemon, spouse and child. Few have turned a life of crime, surviving only for weeks until capture.
Those trainers who settled for the second option, hoping to raise a family fall into hard times. Their full-grown Pokemon literally eating holes in their pockets, and table scraps feeding their human loved ones they're forced to take drastic measures. Some trainers have chose to go the easier route with releasing or selling off their Pokemon to breeders or researchers, while others have chosen the harder, more inhumane route. Unable to part with their Pokemon with which so many memories have been shared, they opt to enter medical trials with the SRR or at times... offer their young children to the company if they end up with twins.

Gym Leaders. I'll post them if anyone's actually interested in fighting them. Leaders are mostly all members or at least aware of what SRRC really is and will fight and/or report you to the company if you approach them.

I. What's all this got to do with me?
You are one of two things at this time. You are either one of those unlucky twins, sold off to the company at a young age to be used as test subjects or you're a vounteer. Volunteers must be older than 17, however other characters can be any age from 7-27.
II. What off limits for you to be?
- No legendaries
- No starter Pokemon
- You may only start out as a first stage Pokemon
- No Ditto
- I recommend not using Pokemon without evolutions like Dunsparce, but you're free to if you wish.
III. Talents vs abilities
If you choose to be a volunteer instead of property of the company, you may choose to have a talent. A talent is something that your character grew up with, whether that be hightened strength, speed, intelligence, etc. or something more along the lines of specialistic is up to you. If you choose to be property of the company you will not be allowed to have a talent however, since you never were given the opportunity to develop into anything other than the Pokemon whose DNA you've been combined with. That being said, the main difference in the two options is if you have a talent then your 'stats' will be boosted, making you generally stronger in all areas and significantly stronger in your talent's area but you will lack as much control over your new DNA and won't have access to abilities or some of the more powerful moves. If you choose to be property, then you'll start out with an ability that the final evolution in your line will have - and down the line you'll get a bigger movepool, though you're more like an average Pokemon both in skills and appearance.
IV. Rules
- Follow the RPT and PC rules
- This RP is rated M to allow for more creativity in general.
- There will be certain plot points that will come up allowing you to progress along your evolutionary line. I will give these out as I see fit.
- This RP will be rather short and to the point. Depending on the number of players there will be a certain number of locations to be explored in addition to the region itself. Once those have been completed, I'll provide a few options to finish the RP before moving the adventure on to the next region in a new thread.
