News:Day 1 is up now



History:

Spoiler:

The Pokémon world has always been a world of wonder. It has come through many eras and coexisted with humanity. You were born into it like any other kid, and living the good life as a trainer. However, a recent discovery of some ancient Pokémon text revealed that the utopia that people have come to love and exist in would seize to exist.

This calendar of sorts was discovered in the Sinnoh region, in Michina town. An excavation team came upon the runes by accident. There, they translated, deciphered and verified it and were shocked at what they discovered. Deciding to reveal it to the world, they told that the world would seize to exist exactly 1.5 years, from when the announcement they were making. Thus it was determined that on March 15th 2012, the world would be destroyed. There was no reasoning given as to why or how this decision was made, but that only circumstantial evidence convinced these scientists that this was indeed going to happen. The runes also did not reveal a specific Pokémon or entity only that "the Harbinger" would be the judge. They mentioned however, that a small vestige of hope remained. This "Harbinger" would select 10 [Though it depends on the amount of SUs and such] people who trained Pokémon, those who were yet innocent and naive of the world, regardless of their background. The selected trainers would have to persuade the Harbinger, and in doing so, humanity would be saved. They would be selected on March 14th 2011 and have 1 year to complete this. The inscription was translated as follows:

Fate with death hast thou with whence thy day and night is no longer
Upon which one year from thy 150th year and 18th day of Arcis will thee encounter it so
Fear not – unto thee, six of thine people tasked for thine survival whilst go
One year unto descision's breadth hast taken over
Survive and thou art rewarded life​

Plot:

Spoiler:

Six months has passed since the news was revealed. Those scientists, who first revealed it, were put in jail for what the government said was inciting a war. Despite the government's effort to suppress the people from violence and anarchy, as a result of the announcement, disorder was beginning to become rampant. Thus martial law was enacted.

Since the calamitous announcement, that you also watched on television to your dismay, you still have a relatively normal life, albeit, a lot more constrained. You still go to school, except now it is much stricter and corporal punishment had been introduced to keep the students in order. Pokemon battles still continue, but are now only allowed in supervised tournaments or gyms, not complying would mean the removal of your pokemon. Even curfews the government introduced were so harsh that police were told to shoot people on site, if they were seen past dark. All these events transpiring have probably left you in fear. Not to mention fear of losing your pokemon or your friends.

The day before this supposed day of ruin... You don't recall ever being asked to be a participant; nonetheless, you hear a voice in your head telling you what it is that had to be done. Here it is as follows:

You have been selected to represent humanity. You have one day to prepare all that you wish to bring.
For the next year, you will prove yourself... Failure to do so, will result in the extinction of the human race, and all those you love.
Be warned, this journey will not be easy ,and if you are to persevere with the challenges ahead, you will be cause to my appearance, do well and humanity survives.
I as the Harbinger, will be watching.
Be prepared at this time tomorrow...​

Unbeknownst to you, 10 [or however many SUs] people in total will be selected. This persuasion, the harbinger decided, would take place in a realm you would be transported to. There you will travel for a year, training your Pokémon, and developing your relationship and completing tasks. The realm will be full of Pokémon of every kind imaginable. It is essentially a smaller version of all types of environments found on Earth. There you are also able to catch Pokémon.

In order to persuade the harbinger, you will ultimately have to defeat him in a battle, however, you must first complete a series of challenges, of which will span for the entire year (more or less). It is encouraged people meet up with each other if possible, however this is not necessary. Once all of the trainers (for the one's still alive) have completed enough challenges and have been otherwise deemed worthy to fight, the Harbinger will appear to them...

Thus your journey begins:

A rush of sound... a flash of white light... You wake up somewhere else, somewhere you do not recognize. And among other things, you notice a device on your wrist...

Challenges that you may/will encounter:

Spoiler:

• Going from point A to B (in either a set limit of time, or not)
• Catching a specific pokemon (of which items will be given to you by the harbinger, specifically for that challenge only)
• Defeating Pokemon in a gym styled tournament
• Competing against a fellow human
• Hunting a pokemon (this is where your character's morality and personality come into question)
• Being able to teach your pokemon a specific move
• Finding an item/egg/pokemon in a specific place
• Care for an egg until it hatches
• And other ideas
• PM me for more ideas

You will be given these challenges by the Harbinger via a watch device you will find on your wrist on appearing in this new realm. This Pokegear, will only have your objective and a compass, nothing more will be on it. Sometimes the challenges will be vague, other times they will be specific. You might have a time limit, and other times you will not, of which the time limit will appear as a countdown on the watch itself. If you meet up with someone, your objectives might become the same thing. Once the task is complete, your pokegear will be updated with a 'pass' or 'fail'. Once complete you will be given time to recuperate as well as explore and catch your own pokemon on your own time, the pokegear will inform you when your next challenge is to begin. If you chose not to do a challenge given to you, you will not receive a new challenge until the next day (as a sort of penalty), then you will have the rest of the day to do what you like. There will be days where no challenge is given and you will be free to do what you like.

The number of challenges to be finished and won before gaining the right to fight the Harbinger is unknown. It will come when it comes...

If all participants successfully defeat the Harbinger in one on one combat, than humanity will be saved. If in the event that one looses to the Harbinger, this is fine, the battle can recommence once that person's pokemon has recuperated. To save humanity then, all participants need to battle the Harbinger and win. If a participant dies then that is fine as they are negated from the end. It is until the time runs out (the one year) when you'll have to beat the Harbinger. That is, if you can gain the Harbinger's attention before the last day.

Good luck!

Summary: You have been chosen to fight for humanity's existence in a survival game set up by something called the Harbinger. You have one year to complete challenges that will enable you to fight the harbinger, and save humanity.

Setting:

Spoiler:

You will be transported to a realm that is similar to earth, but acts very differently. There, you will find varying types of terrain and vegetation (or lack thereof) existing in the same plane of existence. The following is a list of highlights of each region

• There is the desolate area to the North West, with an acidic river (you will find mostly ground pokemon here, as well as those pokemon who can survive in the harsh river)
• The desert south of the desolate terrain. (home to more ground pokemon, and those that can deal without as much water)
• The lush jungles just off the northern jungle. (plenty of grass pokemon, and otherwise tropical enduring pokemon)
• The volcanic grounds in the centre. (plenty of fire pokemon here, along with a single cave entrance)
• The oceanic area to the North East. (Plenty of water pokemon; there is a single boat on the island).
• The mountains of the south, with the suspicious cave entrances (a good majority of ice-like pokemon live here, as well as some flying pokemon that can deal with the colder temperatures. There are also the typical cave dwelling pokemon here)
• The grassy fields covering most of the east. (pretty much all kinds of pokemon can be found here)
• The abandoned mansion south of the volcanic area* (no pokemon inside the mansion, for some strange reason)
• The abandoned hydro electric power plant (the dam) to the east of that.** (lots of steel and electric pokemon here)
• Lakes and water sources will be dotted throughout, aside from the acidic river and the ocean, all water will be drinkable, unless otherwise stated.
  
  * The mansion will not only be abandoned, but also desolate, it's really only there for shelter, there isn't much else.
  ** The dam is also abandoned, it is not working properly, but there are a lot of Electric and steel Pokémon there. The electric turbines doesn't even work properly, though it seems pokemon have gotten it to work at times.

(See the attached picture below for a better reference. Feel free to describe the setting you are in, and the Pokemon that would be relevant to that area as well)

Notes:

Spoiler:

• The numbers indicated on the map are starting locations, 1-6 (7 and 8 being optional for more RPers).
• You will be given freedom as to some of the challenges, think of this as The Amazing Race, but without any particular destination. There will not be challenges every time, so you'd be free to rest up, interact with your Pokémon, or otherwise recover.
• You are fighting for your own survival as well, this is like a survival game, and thus Pokémon are even prone to death.
• Logically, Pokémon will be where their environment is most suited, you wouldn't find an ice Pokémon in the volcanic region for example.
• While there are no pokemon centres, it is important to maintain the health of your Pokémon, you can do this with items you have brought, or simply by appropriately letting it feed and rest.
• In the same vain, there are also no PCs, so if you have 6 pokemon, the only way to get more is if you abandon one.
• Items in your bag will be a key thing on your trip, aside from a tent, a sleeping bag, a water bottle and perhaps some food, you are allowed to bring whichever thing you need (including pokeballs). You must be aware however that these items are LIMITED, and you will never be able to replenish them – it's back to the basics.
• Be creative in your means of survival, what would you eat, where would you sleep? Etc. (maybe those Taurus look tasty after all)
• Yes, the pokemon of this realm are catchable (all of them), even legendary Pokémon... but can you catch them? Regular pokemon are fine to encounter/post about on your own, however if you would like to encounter a legendary, only I can set up that incidental meeting.
• If you plan on catching a pokemon, leave myself to decide if it is finally caught. Thus you need to write a descent battle. You may write your logical encounter up to your throwing of the ball, and it being absorbed by it.
• This will not be like your typical game type of Pokémon 4 ever move type of thing. Your Pokémon will know all its moves as it grows. A young trainer thus with a young Pokémon, will not be able to use a high level move. So in that respect it has to be realistic. Even practice has to be made to perfect it. Think of it like the anime. A list of moves for respective Pokémon are here: https://pokemondb.net/
• While the realm has specific regions of differences, it is not impossible to find a different type of pokemon somewhere else, just be realistic about it (like how bird pokemon can fly anywhere).
• If you are unsure if you would encounter a certain type of pokemon in a specific area, don't hesitate to ask.
• I'd prefer to have to have half and half of each gender, but it's not an "end-all".
• Romantic relationships are allowed; just don't forget the task at hand.
• Because this is akin to creating a new region, be creative in describing the area around you, I've left it open so that you can describe in full detail on how the land is. And in that way, other RP members can follow suit and use that description in the future. Create that vibrant setting. And for that reason, it might be important to read what other RPers have read, I mean if you go into a place where another RPer has just left, and describe it totally differently, it wouldn't make sense.
• I will be giving out everyone's tasks.
• I will judge whether or not your character passes or fails a challenge, but really, if you RP that your character was successful then it will be a win. Don't be afraid to fail though, you have a year in the RP to prove yourself. After all, I don't expect people to win all the time.
• I will post the day at the top of my posts, feel free to type up a full day or a partial day, depending on how much time you have, thus you can always come back to it later. Once everyone has completed their day, it will be the end of the day. (Perhaps it may be best to have something like 'End of Day 1' at the bottom of your post to make it clear). Once everyone's day is complete I will post a summary of challenges won/lost or pending (pending challenges being those challenges that may take one or more days). I'll do it this way so people don't get too much ahead.
• If in the event that someone fails to post within 7 days of a new day post, they will be KIA (that is unless if there is a valid reason they cannot post to which they will be exempt for).
• You will be given your first task upon my first post. Of course the challenges given will be relevant to your region that you are currently in (unless stated otherwise).
• Some challenges might be against your own morals, you can chose to fail them purposely or not.
• It takes about 6 days to walk from one end of the map to the other (in a straight line) non-stop (meaning the length is about 720km and that is if they were to walk non stop). Thus with the many impediments in the way, it will take longer.
• The Harbinger is otherwise emotionless and indifferent to you, he is at this point more of a watcher (so you won't need to interact with him, that will be up to me).
• Once the RP is underway, you cannot change your bag of supplies.
• Items may or may not be given as a prize on the completion of challenges, though you may receive some items specifically for a challenge.
• You don't need to complete a challenge in a day if you don't have a time limit, you can simply be in mid challenge and chose to end your day (to which the 'pending' would be used).

Preferred starting location number: 1-10

Bag: Everyone should have a sleeping bag, tent, a knife a stove and pot, a flashlight/torch and essential toiletries (you won't need to include these in your bag list as they will be there anyway). In interest of fairness there will be 30 open slots for pokemon related supplies and 10 slots for your own bare essentials, like food or other survival related gear. I realize people won't need to RP their character having to use/bring toilet paper, but you just have to remember that you're bringing a finite amount of resources. Make sure to include things that will ensure your survival, if not then those consequences you may encounter when RPing - just think of what "Lord of the Flies" did to the boys).

RP sample: (Just write something that concerns the day before being transported to the realm, essentially it is your day of preparing for the transport; your character will believe the telepathic message to be true. You won't need to copy and paste a previous RP. It doesn't have to be that long, just something I can idea for how you write).

RP rules:

Spoiler:

- No God-modding or bunnying, you will all have set tasks, you don't want to waste time ;)
- Be respectiful of other members
- Quality is a bonus
- Try to stay as active as possible (the good thing about this kind of RP is that you don't have to be around other RPers all the time too, leaving you to do what you would like).

May I have reservation please?

 

[pokemongarnet]

Do you want SU's here or on the regular thread?

EDIT: reservation please?

 

[Feign]

May I have reservation please?

Yep. :) You can have a reservation for up to 48 hours, I'll put your name down.

Do you want SU's here or on the regular thread?

In the regular thread is fine for the SUs. Thanks. :)

 

[Feign]

Yup, your character can have any level experience you want (as the challenges may generally accomodate this or not... who knows ;) ) Just be sure to write a well suited history for your character's level of experience.

Well save for having maybe level 100 everything, and being the most uberest pokemon trainer ever, that might be a little unfun and might be considered a Mary-sue

Or if that were to happen, maybe the person's level 100 pokemon would just encounter level 200 pokemon hahahahaha *cruel*

 

[Nakuzami]

Hmm...this might be fun...wait, no. Must. Resist. Too many RPs. MUST. RESIST! GYAH! Okay, I can't resist. Reserve me please :)

As I said in the main thread before I deleted it, reserve me please :)

 

[Feign]

Done :)

I realise people are busy and such, even I am myself at times, so I'm giving in what I think/hope is a good leeway in time. So yup you have 48 hours for the reservation. :)

 

[Nakuzami]

Here's the beginning of my SU.
I'm guessing our pokemon only get one of their abilities.
For the Bag, do multiple pokeballs and things like that take multiple spots or just one, like in the games and such?
Also, how would the Pick Up ability work? Would the pokemon just find things like food in this other world or would they sometimes find items?

Most of this is just a copy and paste job from Realm of Darkness XD

Spoiler:

Name: Kris Kollyns
Gender: Male
Age: 13

Personality:
Kris isn't the best when it comes to people. He is pretty anti-social and/or shy when around people. When he is around those that he does not know that are older than him, even if just by a little bit, he will usually keep his mouth shut and his head down. Though he is pretty good with little children and babies. When he is around adults he knows, he is a little more himself and and quite outgoing compared to when he's near those he does not know. When around people his age he knows, he is almost completely himself but still has those few things he keeps to himself.

He prefers pokemon over people and is very good with pokemon. They made up most of his friends when growing up since most kids either considered him to weird or too much of an...er, meanie. Kris is also sometimes very easy to anger, which is another reason people didn't really get along with him. When not showing any of these quirks he is actually very smart and friendly, while also sometimes seeming like an idiot.

Appearance:
Kris has semi-long, dirty blond hair. The bangs come to a point and either cover his right eye or hang just above it. He has hazel eyes and stands at about five feet six inches while weighing about a hundred pounds. He doesn't look very strong, but is pretty strong and very agile.

Kris sometimes wears a black beanie hat that only allows his bangs to show. He almost always wears a hoodie, usually his black and white checkered one that is lined with black faux fur. Concealed by his hoodie(s) is usually either a dark red or blue or jet black t-shirt. He normally wears dark black jeans and jet black sneakers with a white skull design and brown soles on them.

History:
When Kris was just born, he was matched with the egg of a Typhlosion. Ever since his great grandfather, his family has always had a Typhlosion in the family. Kris was the first since his great grandfather to receive an oddly colored Cyndaquil, which was an amazing honor. While growing up, Kris wasn't the best with people. There were few people he actually really liked and few people really liked him. Despite this, Kris always did well in school, except with maybe homework. He loved pokemon much more than he loved people, which helped motivate him to go on his adventure. By the time he turned ten and was ready to go on an adventure, Kris's Cyndaquil, Cinder, was already a Typhlosion. He was also able to understand Cinder and a little bit of other pokemon.

Kris began his journey in his home region of Unova, where he quickly obtained all eight badges and got twentieth place in the pokemon league. After the Unova league, he moved onto the Kanto league and Johto league. By the time he was twelve, he had all sixteen badges from the two regions and had placed tenth in the pokemon league. By the time he turned thirteen, he had placed fifth place in the Hoenn league and second in the Sinnoh league. He had entered the Grand Festival twice, and placed seventeenth and eighth in them.

He returned to Unova around the time the news of the end of the world came out. He didn't really believe the world was going to end, and was surprised when everyone made such a big deal out of it. He continued his journey still, met a girl named Luna who had defeated him in the finals of the Unova league when he had entered it again. That was about two months ago. During his journies, he met many legendary pokemon including Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Victini, and many more.

Pokemon:

Spoiler:

Typhlosion "Cinder"

Gender: Male
Personality: Cinder is a strong silent type. He is very protective of his friends and extremely protective of Kris. As he has been with Kris his entire life, Kris is his best friend and is his closest family. He doesn't 'talk' very often or complain or anything of the sort. He is extremely fierce in battle when he needs to be and can be extremely intimidating, but can also be a big softy.
History: The very first thing Cinder saw as he emerged from his egg was a human baby, Kris. He immediately walked over to it to investigate. Over the years this human would become his best friend and trainer. He had no idea why the family was staring and pointing at him, all except the boy who just hugged him. When the boy had turned five, Cinder had evolved into a Quilava, by the time the boy was nine, cinder was a Typhlosion. He protected the boy wherever he went, even at school, and especially on the boy's pokemon journey. He always made sure things were safe for the boy and never let anyone or anything harm him. He was basically the boy's bodygaurd, best friend and closest family member. He even taught the boy how to speak his language, which became very helpful.

Musharna "Dream"

Gender: Female
Personality: Dream is very calm and sweet. She is almost always silent and is very intelligent. She is protective of her friends is a very formidable opponent.
History: Dream was born in the Site of Dreams, like most Munna. She stayed there her entire life before she was confronted and captured in a strange spherical object by a ten year old boy. She helped the boy in many his quarells, or pokemon battles. She was part of the backbone for his teams in the pokemon leagues and by the time they had reached Black City, the boy had evolved her with a Moon Stone. She soon became a pokemon contest star and helped the boy through almost all of his contests and the Grand Festival.

Scraggy "Hood"

Gender: Male
Personality: Hood is somewhat of a clown. He thinks many things in life are funny and doesn't really understand when he is scolded for this. He is very good at cheering people up and can sometimes be a klutz. When in battle, he'll try to make the battle funny while also defeating his opponent. He can sometimes be an attention hog or maybe a prankster.
History: Hood was the clown in his colony. He was always pranking another of his kind, or sometimes humans foolish enough to try to capture him. He would mock them, defeat them, mock them some more and flee. That is until one ten year old boy somehow managed to capture him. The boy was nice, which was lucky for Hood or else he would not have been accepted by the boy. Hood went through many battles with the boy, and won a majority of the time.

Lillipup "Yorkie"

Gender: Male
Personality: Yorkie is and always has been a puppy. He is very energetic and playfull, and needs as much attention as possible. He has a short attention span and is always getting himself into trouble because of it. He is very agile and he hits hard in battle.
History: When Yorkie was just a pup, his entire family was captured by Team Plasma. He was saved by a young boy who then brought him along with him. Yorkie immediately felt the boy was a friend, and at first refused to leave the boy's arms, except when he really needed to. He wasn't battled very often at first since he was still a baby, but once Yorkie and the boy left their home region, he was entered in a lot more battles. He would always run around, annoy and confuse the enemy and then take it down. He has always lived a pretty domestic life, so he isn't very good at being alone in the wild.

Pidove "Valiant"

Gender: Male
Personality: Valiant is...Well, he's valiant. He is very proud and quick to pick a fight to prove his strength. He can be a bird brain sometimes and doesn't like it when he or his friends are picked on. He is actually quite strong and very fast. When not trying to prove himself, he acts a little childish and justs wants Kris to take care of him like a baby.
History: Valiant knew the moment he was born that he was destined for greatness. He knew he was the best in the flock, but he also knew this was him lying to himself. He had a low self-esteem so whenever he lost, he would seek out his mother and cry while in her embrace. He foolishly accepted to battle a boy that discovered him, and ended up captured. The boy turned out to be a good thing for him, the boy raised his self-esteem and helped him actually become good in battle. He was no match to the highly experianced pokemon in the pokemon league, so he was usually only entered in less risky battles.

Larvitar "Rex"

Gender: Male
Personality: Rex tries to pretend that he is proud and brave, but he is actually somewhat timid. He doesn't trust anyone but Kris and tries to hide most of the time. Only when he, his friends, or especially Kris is threatened will he take action. When he does take action, he is very strong and deadly. As soon as the action ends, he goes back to being timid.
History: Rex was an outcast among Larvitar. While all the other Larvitar were brave and tried to become as strong as their Tyranitar parents, Rex was timid and didn't do very well against the others in battle. One day he saw this very strange creature walking along a path on his mountain, so of course he went to investigate while sticking to the shadows. The boy must have noticed him because the next thing he knew, he was trapped in some kind of magical sphere. With the help of this boy, he became a little less timid, but disliked most other humans that approached him. He became a fairly good battler and braver than he had ever been, which was only a little bit braver.

Spoiler:

You have been selected to represent humanity. You have one day to prepare all that you wish to bring.
For the next year, you will prove yourself... Failure to do so, will result in the extinction of the human race, and all those you love.
Be warned, this journey will not be easy ,and if you are to persevere with the challenges ahead, you will be cause to my appearance, do well and humanity survives.
I as the Harbinger, will be watching.
Be prepared at this time tomorrow...​

I played the message over and over in my head as I packed. I know I didn't believe in the end of the world thing...but something told me I should prepare just in case. Besides, unless I was going insane, the voice in my head was proof of something. I had no idea what was in store for me, but I knew general supplies that I should pack. I stuffed my backpack until it was full and then selected my team from my PC. I sat on my bed, leaning against Cinder, thinking about what might happen.

Maybe this end of the world thing was true, but that also meant I had a chance to stop it. But why me? Perhaps I wasn't the only one...there had to be others. I would have a year to prove myself...prove myself how? Where? How would me proving myself stop the extinction of the human race? Who was this Hrabinger? These and so many otehr questions floated through my head. Cinder knew my mind was troubled, so he was laying with me in bed, trying to comfort me. I automatically stroked Cinder's fur as I kept thinking about what all of this meant. It was all so confusing and disturbing.

That night I explained everything to my family, before I decided to go to bed early. I layed back on Cinder and drifted off to sleep. My dreams were troubled in the beginning, until at one point I assumed Dream had done something to them and I could finally sleep in peace.

 

[baseballa34657]

Pardon Me but how do you make spoilers. I know where the button is but how do you make it work

 

[Feign]

Hmmm good question, perhaps out of realism, simplicity, fairness, and my diabolical sense to make things difficult, you won't need natures or abilities. I did say additional info is allowed, so things like personality is fine. In fact, it would make things interesting in that way. Like if a pokemon was backed into a corner it might use an ability like blaze. Or even being in the right area, like if a fire pokemon was in the volcanic region, it might have slightly better fire moves. But I do like freedom so I'll leave it up to you on how you'd like to RP your pokemon and such. Sorry about the confusion otherwise.

When making a post, there is the option on the far right that looks a little blue. It'll say spoiler when you put your mouse over it, or you can just use it manually and type out

Spoiler:

 

[baseballa34657]

Um can we have one pokemon the same as other roleplayers.

 

[Feign]

Certainly, I don't mind shines either (though having several shines would be a bit strange seeing as they are kind of rare), though if everyone ended up having an eevee, then I might have to change things up, and so far that isn't a problem.

 

[GaXeL]

Name: Nicolas Hydrogza
Gender : Boy
Age: 16
Personality: Nick, one of the cockiest kids on earth. He's used to winning all of his battles that he forgot how it was to lose. His dad is a gym leader and pushes him to become the best trainer in the world. His mom on the other hand, just likes to play with pokémon.
He takes a lot of pride in his water pokémon, he had all of them since he was 5. His most prized possession is his Feraligatr, "Chompy". Chompy has a reputation of being one of the toughest water pokémon in the world.

Appearance: Nick has messy, medium cut hair. He wears a totodile cap over his head, backwards... He wears a Blue sweatshirt with black wave details over the middle. He also has a leather belt carrying his pokéballs.
He also wears blue plaid sweatpants with blue Addidas Supernatural commanders. Of course, like any other trainer, fingerless gloves (Blue).

History: Nick is a trainer Ace. He learns pokémon tactics from his dad, no trainer academy. He got Chompy as a totodile at the age of 5, finding an injured totodile and bringing him into his home and helped him heal. His other pokémon were found in the wild, at around the same time frame.
Nick adores water types. As does his mom and dad. Nick is a loving trainer and a tough working one also. He is expecting to take over his dad's gym soon. He wants to test his skills against this so-called harbringer and show that he's the best water-type trainer in the world.

SU so far

Name: Xavier Harrah

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Personality: Xavier is the reserved type, not usually interacting with other people and keeping quiet. Due to trauma. Due to not much interaction he has become very observant of environments, pokemon, people, etc. His father being a scientist and his observance has caused him to become an excellent trainer and strategist.He loves his mother very much and will usually try to help around the house, when father is away. The only real companions he has ever made has been pokemon, so this is the only time when he might actually talk and smile. This has caused him to have zero tolerance for pokemon abusers. One incident did put a number on him because of this hatred.

He absolutely hates people who are loud and most things that are loud. They give him a headache.Although his father has only recently began teaching him survival skills as he was going to go on his journey soon. And his companionship of pokemon has caused him to believe pokemon poaching as wrong. He is not a vegetarian. He can't really talk to people, unless that person is family. Although he view his father more as a scientist instead as a father. This is because all conversations between him and his father were about Pokemon and science. Whenever Xavier would ask him about something personal his father would avoid it and lead to yet another science discussion. And that most of his knowledge came from his father.

Appearance: Xavier stands roughly 5'11 matching the muscle for the size. He sports a minor six pack. He has deep brown hair and eyes. His mother likes to compare the color to that of her Ursaring. His hair is shaggy and falls just over his eyes. His eyes are very sharp, but calm as well if you can catch a glimpse of them. He has a small scar on his left shoulder. It has healed mostly, but if you look closely you can see it.
And his legs have more muscle than his arms.

The normal attire for Xavier is a black T-shirt with the symbol of Omega on his right shoulder. He wears a pair of dark grey pants to match the shirt. As far as winter wear goes he wears a zipper Heavy coat which is silver with a pokeball symbol on the chest. He wears white winter pants with self insulation and is a tad big on him. And again sports a pair of black gloves with wrist cuffs to keep snow out. And has a pair of insulated boots which have small spikes on the end to climb and hike if the chance comes.

History: As a child 1-5 Xavier mainly grew up like any other kid. Although was shy, but he would always try to at least approach someone and hopefully try to be friends. But one event completely changed his outlook on humanity. Xavier was walking home that night from the local playground not too far from his house. A man was hitting his chikorita. Xavier of course wouldn't stand for it. Being naive as he was at that age he immediatelly yelled to quit it. The man immediately got up and slashed xavier on the shoulder leaving him in the pain. From that day on Xavier deemed that humans can be evil and decided to try and stay away from humanity leading to him to be quiet and to love pokemon further. He then aquired skills that he has today.

During the ages of 6-16 he then put more and more time into studying and learning from his mom how to battle as she was a trainer in her childhood beating 4 of the elite four of Kanto. Xavier constantly went on trips to Mt. Silver to his father's research facility. This is where most of the knowledge concerning pokemon came from.He has become a excellent trainer because of practicing with his mother's pokemon. She thinks he is going to be an excellent trainer as he has almost beat her in a battle.(This was done in their basement to keep it secret.That is the last 6 months.) He has a team of pokemon now, he has had them for about a year now and has participated in numerous tournaments with them and has won 75% of them. He was going to participate in the pokemon league and start the journey the day of the supposed Armageddon.

RP sample: '____' = Thoughts

'I can't believe tomorrow is the day.' Xavier had been looking upon this day for months. The day he gets to go on his very first Pokemon journey. 'After a year of all tournaments we finally get to do the real thing!' He was lying in his bed for Omega,his Charmeleon had fallen asleep. 'I just can't...' Xavier started to hear a low voice. The feeling of immense shock rushed through the Trainers body. Was he dreaming? Was he Psycho? The voice began to slowly and soundly rise in volume.

You have been selected to represent humanity. You have one day to prepare all that you wish to bring.
For the next year, you will prove yourself... Failure to do so, will result in the extinction of the human race, and all those you love.
Be warned, this journey will not be easy ,and if you are to persevere with the challenges ahead, you will be cause to my appearance, do well and humanity survives.
I as the Harbinger, will be watching.
Be prepared at this time tomorrow...

'This can not be right it was only a myth.' Oh but the feeling in his gut made him think otherwise. Xavier finally decided to believe the message. He absolutely was not pyscho! Slowly but surely he gathered the essentials of what would be needed. Before he could get back to his bed however a bright light enshrouded him. And not before long it engulfed him.

End Of Day 0

Oh, I think I forgot to answer the other question. Yeah 1 pokeball will count as one space in itself, so if you have two pokeballs, that will be two spaces, and so on.

And I know you guys are still writing, so no worries. ;)

GaXel, there won't be electricity (maybe aside from the powerplant if you get that working somehow) so the portable DVD player might become useless ;) (you are free to bring it though)

 

[GaXeL]

Lol, I was trying to think of stuff, so I'm gonna have to get rid of some stuff, leme edit one sec please

 

[Feign]

Perhaps it'll be best and easier just to stick with stuff that exist in the real world and pokemon world. I do realise there are probably countless technologies not fully described in the pokemon world but you'll need to be surviving. ;)

 

[GaXeL]

Yeah, are feeding pills ok? We do have them in real life xD

 

[Feign]

In the military? I can't remember off hand. I suppose as long as your character buys them at the right place then. :P haha

 

[GaXeL]

Nah, let's keep this original. I'm gonna cook me up some miltank
