"The Legends Of Gaia: A Journey Ahead"
OOC​

Plot:

In a Region far away from the Main Lands, Research said that Pokemon have suffered a Mass Migration Effect to a far away Archipelago/Said Region. That Archipelago was the Region of Gaia. The Juncture of many Islands with the Sevii Archipelago allowed the creation of this region. Many Legendary Pokemon live here, protecting the Seas, creating Rainbows, Sheltered Away in Islands, Undiscovered Legendary Pokemon playing and even soaring the skies or protecting the forests... Everything seemed perfectly... Until something happened... Something that stays in the memory of all...

The Letter:

"Hello. My Name is Celio. I am looking for Trainers or Volunteers who come to meet me in One Island, in the Sevii Archipelago. I request your help in a 'quest', to put it this way. I shall offer a Pokemon to those who don't have one." - Celio

How the Roleplay Works & Rules: Since you have gotten through the OOC and read this to have a character valid for it, i'm gonna hide in Spoilers. But it's here in case you need.

Spoiler:

- This is a hybrid of a Story Focused Roleplay and a Sandbox. After every important point of the story, you will be given a free chapter, and it's up to you if you use it to develop yourself or do something related with your character, or just stay out or train.
- Areas will be Given out once i feel it's good to go to move on. However, you may expect 30-35 (If not, maybe less.) Islands and 10-18 Gyms. If anything changes, i will give you the information. Be aware that this are islands. Therefore, you need a Boat, a Surfing Pokemon or a Flying Pokemon, once you can, to go around.
- Suggestions are always open, all i need is you to detail it out, and give a really good reason. But then again, i might not need it or already have something similar. But still, don't let that demotivate you.
- New Poke Balls are Created: Dawn Ball (A Poke Ball that has better catch rate in lit up places or during the day.), Slow Ball (The Opposite of the Fast Ball, preferable for more slower Pokemon), Sun Ball (A Poke Ball for Sun Stone Families), Hate Ball (A Poke Ball that makes the Pokemon hate the user. It also catches Pokemon that are same Gender or that aren't in the same Egg Group better.), Slim Ball (A Pokemon that has better Catch Rate with lighter Pokemon), Fly Ball (It's like the Dive Ball, but for the Skies), Pester Balls (Makes Wild Pokemon Run), Dual Ball (Allows to Catch Wild Pokemon in Double Battles Solely. Is Useless otherwise.), Super Balls (Almost the same as Great ball, being between Great Ball and Ultra Ball. Looks Like a Great Ball, but with an "S" on it). (Big Explanation here)
- This is rated T in romance (There are Children among us), and i request you to respect both the Forum and the Roleplay Forum's rules, as well as this ones.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall is not allowed. Looking at you, past me.
- Too much infractions and you out, yada yada, you know how the Infractions work.
- As far from Starters, i will hand you out a list of Starters and all so you chose.
- Take note that we are here just for the luls. Please, no mean or salty people. Dank Memes are allowed though. You hear me right, Dank Memes i let it be---/shot
- There is no set thing of villains. There is the Villains of this, but they can be rather unimportant to you. Heck, maybe you came to chase Team rocket, or Team Magma, or that Team that wanted to erase the universe and Giratina, and Palkia, and Dialga, And Lake Trio and whatever. The backstory of yours is always up to you
- We can have a limit of 20 People. 24 Actually, as there are 20 starters, and if you like none, you can have one who you brought from home. The ones given out have set move sets, making you a challenge if you want to achieve the perfect moveset you imagine.
- If you wanna go ahead and be an acquaintance to Bill, which in trade is acquainted to Celio, then go ahead.
- Learn Sets are Sun&Moon, With Egg Moves, TM Moves, Level Up Moves, Tutor Moves, Event Moves and Even Transfer Moves available for it. 6 Moves are allowed.
- Mary Sues and Gary Oaks Stus will be burned alive by my Cyndaquil.
- Be careful with swearing. No overboard.
- No Overpower Characters. No Drama. No Controlling other's Character without Permission (Or Trust me with someone's character---/shot).
- No Reservations. The First one to get accepted gets a certain spot.
- Lastly, have Fun!

In Addition, Captures will be Evaluated.

"Knot Island: One Island Town"

One Island (Japanese: １のしま Island 1) is a small town located on One Island in the Sevii Islands, which by extension is part of the Gaia Region. The only major defining points of the town is the Pokémon Network Center, run by Celio, The Pokemon Professor of the Region and a friend of Bill, the Market, which sells some things, mainly food, and the Gym Leader's House. South of the town's Seagallop Ferry dock is a short watery path to Treasure Beach, while east of it is the challenging Kindle Road. As it is such a small town, many more things can be done on these two routes than in the town itself, though players will find themselves brought back here repeatedly in their quest to use the Sun Diamond and the Moon Pearl to complete the Network Machine. Celio gives most of the Trainers who arrive a Pokemon, but only those who don't have a Pokemon. He also gives them a PokeDex, Running Shoes and a Rainbow Pass to those who don't have one. A Man with a Boat will take trainers to Treasure Beach or Kindle Road if these said Trainers don't have a Pokemon that swims.

Pokemon: Most Pokemon here can be caught in the shore.

Theme: Pewter City

"Knot Island: Treasure Beach"

Treasure Beach: Treasure Beach (Japanese: たからのはま Treasure Beach) is a small area to the south of One Island, extending from the Seagallop Ferry dock to a small island to the south's northern beach. The actual treasure beach itself is this beach on the north coast, where Trainers can find regenerating items that have washed up on shore for every time they return, being able to grind for Pearls, Big Pearls, Stardusts, Star Pieces or even Ultra Balls.

Pokemon:

Theme: Road To Cerulean City - From Mt. Moon

---

"Knot Island: Kindle Road"

Kindle Road: Kindle Road (Japanese: ほてりのみち Burning Road) is a straight path north from One Island to Mt. Ember. Being such a long path, it has an opportunity to heal along the way, namely its famous hot springs. The Gym is also located in the Ember Spa, and it's a Fire Type Gym. Mt. Ember is blocked by strange men, so the only entrance is on the other side, which can only be taken by doing a huge lap around the archipelago. Trainers also obtain items such as Repels, Ethers.

"Knot Island: Kindle Road: Ember Spa/Knot Island's Gym"

Ember Spa/Knot Island Gym: This Place has the Spa Section, where people can relax for a while. It's Springs heal Pokemon Fully, and are just plain fun to try out. On an Entrance in the back of the Spa, is the Ember Spa's Gym. The Gym is a huge Hot Spring, with a few Rocks in the middle for Pokemon who don't like Water. It's Gym Leader is Tanya, a Passionate Woman in Swimsuit, who is most of the times on the Hot Springs. While she enjoys Hot Springs, her Pokemon don't, as she uses the common Fire Type Pokemon. She does not have Much Pokemon, but she owns a Ponyta and a Vulpix, which is definitely two Pokemon She'll Use. She has Will-O-Wisp on all her Pokemon, plus Hypnosis in Vulpix and Sunny Day in Ponyta. Catching a Water or Ground Type will help in this gym. After her Defeat, you get the Spring Badge.

Resting her arms over the railing of a small passenger ship, the platinum blond girl, Harley-Rei Tamarack, lit up upon seeing the first island in the distance. It had been a mildly long, boring trip from her home country of Johto, but it seemed as if the ship was finally preparing to dock at One Island. Tying her hair back into a tight ponytail, the girl smile anxiously calling for her Pokémon. "Hey Pichu, we're almost there!" Only moments following one of the standard Pokeballs across her chest cracked open to reveal the small yellow Pokémon. Shaking itself vigorously the Pichu then scaled up its Trainer's body until taking a perch on her shoulder. "See that? Soon we'll start our new adventure. Can't wait to see the Pokémon found around here!" Harley carried on accompanied by squeaks of happiness from her own Pokémon.

As if on cue, a number of aquatic Pokémon sprang from the sea, just off the side of the ship. "Oh! Look Pichu it'a a Staryu!" Harley shouted gesturing to the jeweled Pokémon. A few weak sparks shrouded the Electric Pokemon's cheeks in response. "Hold it zippy we'll get our chance soon enough, but as you know, business before play." The young Trainer jokingly calmed her Pichu. "Firstly we've gotta find that Professor. Shouldn't be to hard, sure anyone could point us in the right direction." Harley then stretched her arms up and out as the Captain's voice called out over a little loud speaker announcing their dock.

Harley smiled a wave to the Captain after her sincere thanks. The man was even kind enough to coincidentally send Harley the direction of the Pokémon Network Center. Which honestly it wasn't to hard to pick out, being the most prominent building around. Pichu was now waddling behind its Trainer periodically stopping to sniff or growl at something or another. A few minutes of walking and Harley arrived at the enterance doors to the PNC. "Well let's get this over with so we can get this started." Harley monologues externally, while grabbing her Trainer's cap from her waist. Brim forward, she made her way in.

 

[SkySilvally]

Nathaniel reclined against the wall of the ship as it drearily pushed forward. This had to be the longest, most boring thing he had ever decided to do. "Why did I decide to come all the way to these stupid islands? I could have just as easily stayed in Unova to do this." he groaned. He slid down against the wall closer to the ship's floor, until he was completely prostrate on the floor. He let out a loud yawn and attempted to fall asleep on the rocking and swaying ship. He tossed and turned with the back and forth motions of the waves until he finally drifted into sleep.

Several hours later, Nathaniel was awoken by a loud "thud". He pushed himself up and looked out to the front of the ship. "We've arrived!" came the voice of the captain. "It's about time..." Nathaniel mumbled to himself. After an arduous week long trip, he had finally arrived at the Sevii Islands.
He stepped from the ship and struggled to find his footing after being on the sea for a week straight. He finally regained his balance, looked around, and as soon as he spotted the Network Center, he darted off without a word of thanks to the ship's crew. "Elektrike here I come!" he yelled as he strummed his guitar.

Chapter 1: Episode 1: "Arrival at One Island"​

(Akeno's POV)

The Girl was slowly arriving One Island's Port. She had left from Fortree solely with her Wurmple, to come and see more of Pokemon. She only has seen Pokemon native from Hoenn, such as Feebas, Wailmer, Zigzagoon, Poochyena, Taillow, Tropius, Keckleon, Absol or Seedot. But here? It was far different. Apart from the ocasional Wingulls, she on the way here saw a full batch of new Pokemon, such as Krabby, Slowpoke or Shellder.

"Wurmple. What you think it awaits us here?" Akeno said, leaving the boat, with Wurmple following close behind. She looked around the Island. Only on the Beach nearby the Port she could see many other Water Type Pokemon. She was now directed to PNC, but since it was the only relevant building in the Island, she simply moved towards said relevant building.

(Lilly's POV)

Lilly simply pushed herself out of the ship. The Lazy Nature was getting her. She still did not believe she had managed to get here. But, everything to Skip School, as she says. She was supposed to be a Pokemon Trainer. She is not much familiar with training itself, so it would be something new to her. What about the Gyms? Oh Arceus, she never worked out, and she refuses to do so. She was surprisingly afraid of working.

She looked around the Island. Not much to know. She had to go to PNC. What was PNC though? Was it Patissier New Cooks? Pizzas N' Corn Dogs? Whatever. She would as well figure out. She pretty much took 4 minutes to walk to the PNC, which was a stupid amount of time.

She entered at it, and she saw what was inside. No Pizzas, or Corn Dogs? Damn it, was her thoughts. And here she thought the Professor would be a cool, chill guy who hates work. Guess she was wrong...

(Akane's POV)

Akane had been all the way of the trip listening to music from either Italy or France. She loved Music, and "Les Beaux-Arts" and "La musique de la vie". Though she had to admit, she was a bit eager and imaptient to get her Pokemon and begin her new adventure. She would might even become like Wallace, her Idol, or even Lizia, the star of Hoenn. Or even Ruby, the top coordinator in Hoenn. She then was awake by the intercom, announcing the arrival soon. She was below the intercom, so it scared her a bit.

Arriving at One Island, she was greeted by the small, yet nice town and it's nice weather. A Lot of Water Type Pokemon were at the shore, many where she got her eyes caught on, such as Shellder, Staryu or Horsea. She then saw the PCN, and she walked towards it. Time to get herself a pokemon...

So, on a Post note, you can control Celio for your character. From here on now, characters who made their first post can Interact with others and even engage on JPs (Joint Posts, for those who don't know what it is or how it's done).

Abigail Storm
I wanna be the very best...
Abigail smiled as she lie in her bed. She had always enjoyed this song. If her sources (Quincy) were correct, it was from the Kanto Region.

Knock, Knock two soft knocks came from the door.

"Hmm? Who is it?" Hearing no response, she began to count "1... 2... 3... 4... 5 and 6!" Just as she finished counting, another knock came from the door. She smiled. "Hey Quincy." She yelled to the door. "What is it?" She sat up and took her headphones off.

"Is something wrong?" She asked and then listened closely
Nothing.

"Did you lose your glasses?"
Nothing.

Suddenly she faked a gasp and asked in feigned surprise "Could you be admitting your love to me?" This time she heard someone kick the door.

"Alright, alright. Are we at the island." This time she heard two more knocks at the door. "Thanks, Quincy go ahead and go to shore, I'll join you in a minute. Don't talk to strangers, okay?" She heard him kick the door again and then heard footsteps walking away.

She got up and grabbed her bag. After putting it on, she was about to leave the room when she heard...

"Vuuuuuul!" Abigail fell over and crashed into a table. "What the-?!" Looking around, she couldn't see anything that could've made the sound.

"Vuuuul!" It was coming from under her bed. Getting back to her feet, she cautiously walked over to the bed and peered underneath to see...

A White Vulpix.

"What the heck!? How did you get here?" She knew it from Cinnabar Island. It was an Alolan variant Vulpix that she had found in the Cinnabar Island Mansion. She'd taken care of it since she found it. But how did it get here? "You must be really sneaky when you want to be. Oh Come on, no sense in leaving you here." She reached under and scooped the Fox Pokémon up and set it down beside her. She stood up, opened the door, and whistled to the Vulpix "C'mon, lets go find Quincy." She said as she left the room with the White Fox following her.​

 

[yrmrku]

Ward leaned back over the railing of the small fishing ship he was on, closing his eyes and feeling his back pop and stretch out. The breeze tossed his hair around, bringing along the scent of salt and sea - much different than the sour but familiar scent of Saffron. He could really get used to these boat rides. No buildings obstructed his view of the sky or sea; it was really incredible to see for miles. The bouncing of the waves was relaxing too.

Turning his head forward and opening eyes, he could see the island in the distance. It had only been a short bus ride to Vermilion then catching the boat that had been sent to pick him up, but already he was having fun with everything new he was experiencing since he left that morning. It was the first time he'd left Saffron, so it was the first time he'd gotten such a good view of Route 6 and the ocean. The world was such a big place.

It wasn't long before the boat pulled into the docks and Ward jumped off, waving his thanks to the driver. He adjusted the backpack on his shoulders. Before he'd left, his friends had packed up some supplies they'd "acquired" for his journey. It wasn't much, but he was happy to have it.

"Wow, is this place even a town?" he muttered, looking around as he walked from the docks. He'd seen buildings that covered more area. There was such a different atmosphere here than Saffron and Vermilion as well. At least it was impossible to get lost, as his eyes almost immediately locked on what he could tell was Celio's place. Well, no point in sightseeing, Celio would be waiting for him after all.

As he got closer, he could already see people entering or getting nearer. He was pretty sure they were there to see Celio, after all he doubted they were locals with how small this place was. Well, Celio had asked for volunteers, he couldn't expect to be the only one showing up for this.

"Let's get this show on the road," he said aloud as he entered the building.

 

[FloofyIncineroar]

A young adult girl sat quietly in a ship, petting her Yungoos, Goober. She didn't really pay attention to whatever was going on, as she has her head stuck in the clouds. What will this place be like? What kind of Pokemon will she find?

Goober bumped her head against the hand of the blonde girl, Sam, indicating she had stopped petting and beckoning her to resume.
While Goober chittered happily after being spoiled further, Sam began their one-sided conversation. "Are you excited Goober? We're getting a new start!"
The mongoose Pokemon looked up at her, listening. "We'll finally get the chance to practice some battle strategies! Do you remember the Work-Up and Pursuit spam we've talked about?" Goober nodded in response.

The ship moved into a halt as they stopped at One Island Town. "Oh, we're here!"
Holding Goober in her arms, Sam walked out of the ship out before briefly dashing in circles, and then heading off towards where Professor Celio is.

Abigail Storm​

"I can't believe you would do something like this, teacher must be worried sick about you!" Abigail berated her companion, A White Vulpix. "I mean, what if you had been under there and the heating system went wild. You know you can't handle heat! You have to be more caref- Vulpix?" She cut off and started looking around. She turned around and saw Vulpix on the edge of the pier, stretching its head down toward the water, trying in vain to drink it.

Abigail smiled. It was very hard to stay mad at something that unbelievably cute. She sighed, walked over, picking the Fox Pokémon up and turning around, beginning to walk. "Look, there's Quincy, let's see what he thinks about this."

Quincy Mason​

​

Where is she? Quincy thought to himself. He'd told, well "told" her that they were at shore. What could be taking her this long? He could see numerous people walking into the lab behind him. He wasn't aware that Celio had called so many people here to help with this. Suddenly, through the crowd, Quincy could see Abigail walking toward him. Quincy's eyes as he saw the small white Vulpix in her arms. When Abigail reached him, she placed it down. Quincy gave her an inquisitive look and pointed to the Fox Pokémon. "I'll explain once we get inside, c'mon." His friend said as they went inside.
