The pokemon universe in modern day---

HEY YOU IN THE AUDIENCE, STOP MUNCHING ON THOSE CHIPS!

"sorry, but they're soooooo good!"

*ahem*

...Modern day society is unpredictable. It hinder us, it guides us, it questions us, and it can even trouble us. Well, not really "trouble" per se...though it is a beautiful word to say. In the world of Pokemon, pocket monsters, also known as creatures known as pokemon, inhabit this world. People use them for a variety of things: some use them as pets. Some use them for contests. Some use them for battling. But was that the only way to use pokemon? The possibilities are endless. Pokemon remain as our irreplaceable partners, and they help us with a variety of tasks.

You've been recognized as a person with inspiring talents, by a traveling ringmaster from a traveling circus, known as the Swing Lows, aled by a ring master known as Max. You've been then working with the traveling circus for a couple of years, or perhaps a new performer for the circus, traveling to different regions, and performing for a variety of different people. This time, the circus is traveling throughout the Hoenn region, traveling to city to city, performing their individual skills, as well as helping those in need, and meeting a variety of colorful, yet familiar characters along the way . The circus first docked in the harbor in Slateport City, where its aim is to travel to city to city, all the way to the site where the Hoenn League is supposed to take place, also known as Ever Grande City for their grandest stage ever.

Beware: Things won't always be all that "grande" though! For a more dark certain will soon rise...

*DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUUN*

OMG ITS RULES -- EVERYONE IN THE CAR!!!

- Its basically a comedy roleplay where it is faced paced, so it won't have a complete liner plot, just chapters throughout the story with events and scenarios to boot.

- Though out the roleplay, there will be different "acts" where you, and your partner pokemon, work together to perform your "profession" in the circus. Eg, in a certain city, it'll be "act 1" where a crowd forms.

- Just remember to keep track on the acts you'll perform, as well as the places we visit. Remember that our mission is to travel to Ever Grande City, while maintain your profession.

- There are also scenarios and sidequests from time to time, just to spice things up. =3

Spoiler:

As for my own SU....

Name: Rachel Fernandez
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Profession: Juggler

Your appearance: https://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9 ... p_cQ6HI09g

Your history: Rachel was born in Vermillion City in Kanto, where her mother and father almost lived at Poverty. She was then at the age of 2, abandoned by her mother and father, since her mother and father were so belong the poverty line that they did not have the finances to care for Rachel, so they abandoned Rachel at an orphanage near outside Vermillion. Rachel grew up at that particular orphanage, she was bullied all her childhood by people who say she was "the odd one out". Thus, by the time she was 11, Rachel toughened up in personality; she had a bit of a temper, yet she was also pretty sarcastic. When she was 12, she became adopted by a man known as Maximillion (Max) Fernandez, the ringmaster of a circus known as The Swing Low. Rachel became fascinated by all the different types of pokemon, the magicians, the acrobatics, and especially the jugglers.

When she was 14, she decided to try and join Max's circus, so she started to practice juggling. However, she thought that it was impossible to juggle more than three plastic balls. All the while, she had become more frustrated every-time she juggled, so she finally decided to give up after a month of trying. That was when Max gave her some advice: "Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality". Rachel became somewhat inspired by those words, which encouraged her to try harder. So, Rachel continued practice juggling until she reached the age of 17, where she finally got the hang of it, which she was able to now juggle at least 6 plastic balls. One day while practicing, she noticed a Aipom watching her from afar. The Aipom was a trickster, so it used to tease her by stealing the plastic balls she practice with. Aipom was playing jokes on Rachel for days until it was revealed to Rachel that the Aipom liked to juggle as well. Rachel was uncaring at first, but then she started to play with the Aipom with juggling, so it was a basic two-man juggling show. As she turned her current age, 19, Aipom evolved to Ambipom, and she and Ambipom became the best of friends, and decided to travel with the circus, performing in front of thousands -- millions even.

Your personality: Rachel is a blunt, bold person with a southern accent who is usually the one quick to judge. She was bullied while she was living at the orphanage which caused her to be more judgmental and have a wild temper. She is also surprisingly very sarcastic, especially around Max the ringleader, and her fellow performers. She has a aura about her that spells out that she likes her friends, but in certain moments, she can't stand them if they become too annoying. She also has a deep fascination of the outside world more than anything; which encouraged her to travel the circus, with her deep performance fire. During performances, she is still the hot-headed, sarcastic woman that she is, but she also has a seriousness to her that wants to be perfect when performing.

Your starting pokémon

Pokemon -
Species: Ambipom
Nickname: Raul

Short history: Raul was once upon a time a Aipom where it lived in a forest near the outskirts of Viridian where the circus once traveled too. While Rachel was practicing to juggle, the Aipom watched her from afar, which then it decided to play tricks on her by stealing the plastic balls Rachel was practicing with. One day when Rachel tracked down the Aipom while it was playing a joke on her, she noticed that Aipom was too starting to juggle. It looked like it had so much fun. Rachel was uncaring though, so she still demanded her plastic balls back, which Aipom decided to eventually throw her the balls it juggled with. That was when Rachel had an idea: she threw the balls back to Aipom as Aipom threw them back, until a juggiling motion was put into place. Rachel and Raul both had so much fun, that Rachel decided to keep Aipom as her partner pokemon. As the years grew by, Aipom matured into a Ambipom, which they today, continued to perform together in the art of juggling.

Short personality: Raul the Ambipom is mischievous, yet shy. When it first meet someone, it tends to creep up behind Rachel and hide. On the other hand, when it warms up to someone, it tends to play a bunch of tricks to them to have a laugh.

How does it help your profession? - Rachel and Ambipom first starts out the performance by juggling individually. Then, as time passes, the number of objects they juggle increases. Then, as time passes some more, they each thrower each other the objects they juggle, until a juggling motion comes between the two. Sometimes, Ambipom purposely throws the objects too hard, which ends up hitting Rachel square in the face and head, which causes laughter and hilarity.
