A New Beginning - Sinnoh Region

[Jake♫]

OoC: No one EVER includes me in their RP :P Just kidding, but who will I include...hmmm

The Lab, Part 2

"Hey, that's a nice Buizel you have there. What's your name?" Jacob said to try and break the awkward silence of following Professor Rowan.

"...Name's Lucius, and thanks, I really like my Buizel too," Said Lucius.

Jacob thought to himself, "Someone is a little bit braggy, now aren't they?" He started laughing to himself, but the others turned around promptly. Jacob shut himself up as fast as possible.

They walked through Route 201 to reach Sandgem town, and while passing the cliffs, Jacob decided to wave to the man again. He thought to himself, "Jeez, that is one indecisive man! What does he need, a push?" Once again Jacob laughed to himself, and again, the others turned around. This time, the boy with the Eevee gave him a dirty look.

Right before Jacob was about to make a comment, Professor Rowan exclaimed, "Here we are children. Now let's get you inside to start you off."

Inside the lab, there was a line of Pokeballs, and red boxes sitting on a desk.

"So for you kids to start, I will give you each 5 Pokeballs. For you that don't know, they are used to catch Pokemon. But remember, you should weaken a Pokemon first, it makes it easier to catch," Explained Rowan.

"Excuse me Professor, but I do not have a Pokemon yet," explained a blue haired boy.

"So I can see. Will the other two of you that need Pokemon please step forward?" Asked Rowan.

Two more boys stepped forward. One with blond hair wearing jeans, and another one, who was quite muscular wearing a blue tank top.

"Okay you three, here are three Pokeballs, which contain a Pokemon. Choose wisely," Said Rowan.

The boy wearing jeans received a Chimchar, the blue haired boy receive a Piplup, and the boy with the blue tank top received a Turtwig.

"Alright children, you are ready to go. Now get to your journeys!" The professor said. He had a deep passion when he said this.

Jacob stopped the blue haired boy, seeing as Jacob loved Piplup, and started speaking with him.

"Hey, your Piplup is awesome!" Jacob exclaimed.

"Thanks man, I love your Pikachu also, he's really cool," The blue haired boy stated.

"My name's Jacob, what's yours?"

"My name's Akira, nice to meet you."

-is back from her bikeride-

@Rubii Naruto: Good post! You stayed in relative character of the people you were talking to, and thats a good thing. Alright, head to route 202. :]

@Mr. Person: Phew, almost everyone's done. SO.
here is the second post.

@Jacob: If you're going to talk to someone, let them do the talking >_<
Plus, Akira is more of the Cold person.
o3o
Gotta portray that, man.
Other then that, good post!


Journey Begins!
Subchapter 1;
Route 202 to Jubilife City

(I didnt add a roleplay intro, as it wasnt needed)

Description of Route 202: A winding path that twists through grassy fields. Young Trainers like to test their battle skills here.

Description of Jubilife City: The most modernized city in the Sinnoh region. It is bustling with people on the go.
Please get your Poketech's here.

((OOC: Greetings.. again.
YOU CAN CATCH POKEMON AND BATTLE NOW.
Yes, that is exciting.
Anyway, below is the list of Pokémon available for capture.

The better the post:

• The better the chances of catching that Pokémon
• The better chances that I'll let you SEE a Pokémon.
• The better chances that you'll win the battle against someone/something. (The better the post, the better the exp)

(Unless the battle is with another RPer, in that case it's up to one of you.)
There are 4 trainers on this map, so 4 of you will be challenged, and 3 of you will see Pokemon.
What you do is up to you.
When catching a Pokemon:
Always leave the post off by not knowing what will happen!
That way I can decide.

The items you find are up to you (TMs are not able to be found yet, however. Same goes for Evolution stones.), but don't be greedy. ))

First Things First
​

Jacob was full with glee, it was finally this time to shine. "First things first, I need to get in a battle. I need all the experience I can get," Jacob concluded quickly. "Hey, there's a trainer over there!"

Jacob walked along Route 202 to the trainer, excited for his first battle.

"Hey kid, wanna battle?" Jacob asked quickly, he decided to ditch the small talk attempt.

"Bring it on!" the trainer replied.

"One on one good with you?" Jacob realized he had to ask, Pikachu is all he had.

"Fine with me, I only have one Pokemon anyways!" The trainer said while laughing. "Come on out, Bidoof!"

"Let's go Pikachu!"

Both Pokemon appeared in a brilliant white light, landing right in front of their trainers.

"I'll start it off-" Jacob started. "-Pikachu, use Thundershock attack!"

The Bidoof manage to move a bit, but the attack landed.

"Well Pikachu, he avoided some of the damage, but hey, we'll just keep tryi-"

"Tackle Bidoof!" The trainer ordered.

Jacob wasn't prepared for an attack so soon, so he had to think fast.

"Pikachu, jump!!!"

Pikachu jumped straight into the air, avoiding the tackle attack.

"Now land on top of Bidoof!" Jacob commanded.

Pikachu fell from the sky, right above Bidoof.

"Now, jump and use Tackle Bidoof!!!" The trainer ordered. That could be a major problem for Jacob.

"Pikachu, Thundershcok attack!!"

The Bidoof hit Pikachu while yellow-white sparks started to come out of Pikachu's cheeks. Right when the Tackle connected, Pikachu launched his attack.

"Biiiidoooooooooooof!!!" The Bidoof cried.

"Pika Pi," Jacob's Pikachu said while it landed on the ground, right on it's back.

Both Pokemon laid injured on the ground, but Pikachu managed to get back up on it's feet, stumbling around, but getting it's balance back. Bidoof remained on the ground. It was KO'ed.

"I won? I WON!!!" Jacob shouted. "That was almost TOO easy," Jacob said laughing, hoping the other trainer would notice it was sarcasm.

"Haha, yeah right!" The trainer laughed. "Bidoof, return!"

Jacob thought to himself, "Wow, my first battle and a victory, it's hard to believe."

Jacob walked away from his victory with a big grin spreading from ear to ear. He wondered what would happen on the rest of his journey on Route 201.

Chapter Three: The First Pokemon
Emerald took his first step into the first route and the beginning of his adventure. Now that he was away from all those trainers and the professor, he felt alive and a little like his old self. He took out Eevee's pokeball and began to carelessly toss it in the air as he walked. He had a huge grin on his face as he walked. He was happy that he was on this journey inside of Hoenn trapped and without a real life.

He then thought about his family. When Emerald left, he didn't leave a note or anything. He wondered how worried his family was if they were worried at all. Emerald feriously shook his head. Why do I care how they think if they don't care what I think! he shouted in his head. He looked at Eevee's pokeball and realized that Eevee was now his only true family for now. Emerald planned to face his family one day, but not until he became a great trainer.

Emerald picked up a rock and threw it feriously. Why didn't his family care what he wanted? Just calm down, thought Emerald. He took a deep breath and turned around to continue his journey through the route until he heard a loud squal. Emerald jumped and turned around. A bird pokemon was facing him looking extremely evil. It had a large lump on its head.

Oh no, my rock must've hit it, thought Emerald. "Uh, sorry little birdie. I didn't-"

The bird screeched and shot out of the tree, heading directly for Emerald. Emerald yelled and turned around to run as fast as he could from the bird. But the bird slowly got closer and closer to Emerald, and Emerald was loosing steam. He huffed as he began to slow down. He knew that the bird was going to catch him eventually.

Then Emerald heard a large BANG! He whirled around and saw the bird pokemon and the ground and a cute little blue pokemon standing next to it. Frightened, the bird took off.

Emerald let of a breath of relief. "Phew, thanks little pokemon. I dunno what-" BANG! The pokemon slammed him right in the stomach. It made low growling noises and stared at Emerald with intense eyes. They were challenging eyes; it wanted to battle.

Emerald pulled out his pokedex. Shinx, the Flash Pokemon, it's forelgs have a muscle-based system of generating electricity. Its body shines if endangered. Emerald put the pokedex back.

"Alright, Shinx, prepare to meet defeat," said Emerald. He pulled out Eevee's pokeball and threw it in the air. His evolutionary pokemon appeared on the field. "Eevee, use tackle!" Emerald shouted. His pokemon charged forward towards Shinx.

The pokemon shot a glaring look at Eevee causing him to stop in fear. Then Shinx ran up and performed its own tackle attack. Eevee went flying and slammed to the floor. Emerald knew that another tackle wouldn't work. He needed another stragedy.

"Eevee, wait for the shinx to attack you!" Emerald commanded. Eevee stood still until Shinx got frustrated and ran up to perform another tackle. "Now, Eevee, use tail whip. Use it to spring Shinx backwards!" Emerald shouted. Eevee whipped around and let Shinx hit his tail. Then, after pulling it back a little, Eevee shot his tail straight forward, causing Shinx to fly backwards.

"Great, now do tackle!" Emerald shouted. Eevee ran forward and slammed straight into Shinx. It cried out and fell to the ground. As it struggled to get up, Emerald pulled out a pokeball. Hope this works, he thought desperately. He threw the pokeball straight at Shinx. "Go pokeball!" he shouted. The ball swallowed Shinx inside of it and began to rock back and forth. Emerald just waited to see what happened.

 

[Sayaira]

@Pika: Good post! You're almost ready to move on to Jubilife, but will have to wait for a few of the others to post.

Congratulations!
You've caught a level 3 Female Shinx.
Its stats are in the OOC thread if you were interested.

EDIT: Please update your trainer card, and post it in the OOC thread.

 

[Jake♫]

Time to Use One of These Things!

Coming off Pikachu's victory, Jacob was extremely excited. All he knew was that he need Pikachu to get healed. He couldn't handle another battle. So he decided to run all the way to the nearest town: Jubilife City.

He passed Akira with another kid, fighting a Shinx. Jacob wasn't sure what he was doing, but it looked cool.

A sparkle caught his eye, so he ran to check it out.

"TM 34," Jacob read. Not knowing what it did, he picked it up for later use.

As soon as Jacob picked up and stored the TM, a small bird Pokemon charged Jacob and hit him right in the gut.

"Ughh, that hurt like a *censor*!!" Jacob thought. "Well, if you're so fiesty, I guess I have no choice but to fight you! Come on out Pikachu!"

Pikachu appeared infront of Jacob, once more, after recovering a little from the fight.

"Sorry to bring you out so soon Pikachu, but I need you."

Jacob raised his Pokedex to the bird. "Starly, the little bird Pokemon. They flock in great numbers. Though small, they flap their wings with great power."

"Sounds like a winner to me!" Jacob yelled. "All right Pikachu, start it off with Thundershock!"

Pikachu's Thundershock came out of it's cheeks, hitting Starly head on.

"Seeing as it's a flying type, this should finish it fast!" Jacob thought.

Starly rose quickly though. Jacob determined it was strong.

"I HAVE TO HAVE IT!!!" Jacob yelled to the world.

Starly charged in fast with a Tackle attack, too fast for Pikachu to dodge. It hit head on.

"Pikachu! Get up!!"

Pikachu rose slowly, but managed to rise to it's feet, although it was off balance.

"Try one last Thundershock at-"

Starly started to charge for another Tackle!

"-tack! Hurry Pikachu!" Jacob ordered as fast as he could.

Pikachu's attack hit Starly and stunned it. Seeing how close Starly was, it hit with great power. Starly lied on the ground stunned.

"Allow me Pikachu!" Jacob said excited.

Jacob threw a Pokeball at the Starly, as a red beam came out, drawing the Starly in. The ball shook on the ground.

"Will it be caught, or will it escape?" Jacob thought to himself.

Episode 3: The First Battle

Just after Akira left the laboratory, a kid stopped him. It was Jacob. "Hey, your Piplup is awesome!" Exclaimed Jacob. Akira decided to be nice and said.

"Thanks man, I love your Pikachu also, he's really cool." Jacob smiled with that statement.

"My name is Jacob, what's yours?" Asked Jacob. Akira looked at him and said.

"My name is Akira, who knows, maybe we'll meet again." Said Akira as he walked into Route 202. Jacob then ran on ahead, probably wanting to do a battle, or catch a pokemon. "Wow, he has energy."

After about ten minutes and passing Jacob who was fighting a trainer, it seemed that nothing was going to happen, until...

"Hey, come on. I've always wanted a Shinx!" Yelled a boy as he tried to catch it, but it ran under a bush. "Oh, come on!"

"Hey kid, let me show you how it's done!" Yelled Akira as he sent out Piplup.

"Piplup pip." Said Piplup as she emerged from the ball. The Shinx jumped out and desperately Tackled Piplup in an attempt to escape, but...

"Piplup, use Leer!" Yelled Akira confidently. Piplup glared at Shinx causing it to back off a bit. "Now Pound it Piplup!"

Piplup Pounded Shinx with her wing, but Shinx still had fight left in it as it jumped away and sent off his own Leer attack. Piplup shrunk back a little, but stayed strong.

Shinx seeing an opportunity tried to Tackle Piplup, but Piplup dodged and awaited an order from Akira.

"Pound Shinx again!" Yelled Akira. Since Piplup was still close to Shinx, she was able to Pound it once more. Now Shinx looked like it was getting tired, but Akira knew that the Shinx would get away if he tried to catch it, so he waited.

"Shiii!" Yelled Shinx as it Tackled Piplup, but Piplup Pounded Shinx into the ground, after all it's natural. But Shinx still had energy left as it used Leer on Piplup once more.

"Piplup, use Pound once more, then I'll take care of the rest." Said Akira. Piplup nodded before charging in once more. Shinx tried to dodge, but tripped on a root and fell to the ground. Needless to say, Piplup's Pound Connected and it slammed into a tree, too weak to fight, but not yet unconscious. Akira pulled out a pokeball and tossed it at Shinx.

The sphere enclosed over shinx and started shaking. Would Shinx get away, or would it be caught?

Random Trainer Battle​

OOC: Woo! A Battle. I hate these sometimes especially when you try to make its sound good. Only reason this is short is because Sonic Boom is an excellent move in the beginning as most pokemon don't have 20 health.

Leaving Sandgem to the northern route, Lucius walked fairly slow allowing most of the trainers from Rowan to leave and get ahead of him. His Pokemon, Buizel, followed along side only because Lucius had forgotten to place the water Pokemon inside its pokeball. Route 202 was very long or full of surprises, so Lucius calmly made his way through the grass lands in order to arrive at Jubilife City. The sun was fairly high in the blue sky, so the early morning had officially ended, and the day for most everyday people had begun. The air was cool and fresh with a gentle breeze blowing every so often. No burning rushes of heat or frigid ice storms ever occurred here. As far as Lucius was concerned, the weather was perfect. Closing his eyes and slowly walking through the land, Lucius escaped into a little daydream. Buizel guided his trainer after noticing the little mental trip Lucius forced himself on, however the trip was cut short after Lucius rudely bumped into a young trainer. No taller than a 5-year old and wearing the most outrageous outfit of a yellow shirt, blue shorts and an oddly placed cap, a young child fell into the dirt patch below following the minor impact with the man dressed in brown. Returning to Earth, Lucius saw the young boy on the ground and aided him off the ground. "What's your problem?" demanded the child. "Think your better than me? I'll show you! Go Starly!" The youngster unleashed a small gray bird from a Pokeball in order to face off against Lucius and Buizel.

"I am sorry for bumping into you, but must we battle?" The youngster nodded violently and directed a tackle directly at Lucius' head with a screech only babies could create. Buizel protected his master by sending a water sport directly at the charging Starly, dousing its feathers causing the bird to crash down to Earth as that is what gravity does best. Following the crash, Starly promptly picked itself off the dirty ground and shook itself dry of most of the water and returned to flight. Another tackle attack was attempted but this the impact took place between the angry bird and the unprepared weasel. Buizel was launched several feet before landing, and the water pokemon returned to its feet in a matter of seconds. Leaping into the air, Buizel's tail glowed white before unleashed a Sonicboom attack at Starly. The weak bird took the full impact directly and promptly crashed into the ground following the embarrassing defeat. The youngster cried after picking up his defeated Pokemon and apparently began to flee to his mother. Lucius was shocked at the ability of Buizel and continued onward to the nearest city. On his way, he saw one of the trainers successfully capture a small blue Pokemon. "Hey, Nice catch!" Lucius hollered before returning to his travels.

 

[Sayaira]

@Christian/Plan B: Yup. Thats a perk from starting out with Buizel.

I love how the other trainer didnt give you a chance to accept or not.
In the games it does the same thing..
A sloppily remembered quote from an earilier Pokemon Game:
"I LOVE SHORTS. Lets fight!"

Anyway,
Congratulations!
Buizel grew to level 8!

Buizel learned Water Gun.

 

[Zeta Sukuna]

Episode 4: Akira Vs. Jack

After catching Shinx, Akira picked up the pokeball and put it on his belt. "That's how you do it." Said Akira as he returned his Piplup. The boy seemed mad, but then again Akira stole his prize.

"Hey! That was my Pokemon!" Yelled the kid, but Akira snorted.

"There are other Shinx in the area, why don't you look for one?" Asked Akira making the kid mad.

"Grrr! I'll show you!" Yelled the kid. "You're going down or my name isn't Jack Verdia! Go Starly!" And in a flash, a small bird appeared. Akira flipped open his pokedex and recorded the information before grabbing a pokeball of his own.

"Go, Shinx! how me what you can do!" Yelled Akira tossing the pokeball. And out came the dog-like pokemon. Since the Starly was male, Shinx's Rivalry ability made him stronger. "Let's begin this match, one-on-one." Said Akira to Jack who just nodded.

"Starly, use Growl!" Yelled Jack, Akira flinched appearantly this kid had at least some strategy. Starly growled at Shinx who just brushed it off.

"Shinx, use Leer!" Yelled Akira. Shinx glared at Starly, lowering his defense. "Now, use Tackle!"

"Dodge, then use Tackle!" Yelled Jack with command in his voice. Starly tried to get out of the way, but Shinx was faster and Jack's order came in way too late as Shinx tackled Starly for a good amount of damage. "Now! Starly use Tackle now!" And with that, Starly escaped Shinx's grasp and slammed into the Shinx. "Heheheh. Maybe that Shinx wasn't my prize." Said Jack. Akira then thought on what to do next.

"Shinx, use Leer and then Tackle!" Yelled Akira sounding really confident. Shinx then glared at Starly once again, causing the enemy bird to let go. Then, finishing his master's order, Shinx Tackled Starly really hard. But Starly was still able to fight.

"Starly, use Tackle again!" Yelled Jack. Starly went to tackle Shinx, but was too slow as Shinx jumped out of the way. Starly growled before hearing, "Watch out for that-" from Jack, before crashing into a tree. "tree." Finished Jack before returning Starly. "You win this time, but I will be back before you know it!"

Akira smiled as he returned Shinx. "That kid wasn't smart, just hoping for a lucky shot." Said Akira as he quickly found the entrance to Jubilife City, and the end of the first leg of his journey.

 

[The Bringer!]

Sabin sent out his newly obtained partner to find a wild pokemon to battle. His turtwig materialized from the red light that was emitted from the pokeball. The turtwig was glad to be let out and not immediately returned back to the pokeball like last time.

"Well, turtwig, it looks like we're gonna have to catch a partner for you." Sabin stated. He was anxious to catch the strongest pokemon he could find. As Sabin and his partner walked through the damp grass that was the home to wild pokemon, a red pokemon with thick, curled antenna appeared. After using his pokedex Sabin was informed that it was a kricketot. Upon seeing sabin, the insect like pokemon took a fighting stance and began glowing a shade of deep red all over its small form.

"Turtwig, use withdraw to give yourself a defensive edge!" Sabin said as his turtwig rushed in front of him to take part in the battle. However, instead of attacking, the kricketot continued to glow that shade of crimson red. After being ordered to tackle it, Sabin's turtwig rushed head on into the wild pokemon. Instead of falling back, it just took the hit and turned an even brighter red before launching itself at turtwig with twice the power of the tackle. Wow, if it weren't for withdraw turtwig would be done for. As turtwig was knocked back the kricketot began glowing red once again. Apparently that attack only works if I attack him first.

"Ok, turtwig, use withdraw again!" as the turtle pokemon withdrew into it's shell once more to aid in it's defense the opposing pokemon continued to just glow. Turtwig used withdraw once more and when the kricketot tried to counter attack again, nothing happened.

"Now it's your chance turtwig, tackle it!" Upon saying this the tutwig tackled the kricketot full force severely weakening it. This is when I throw the pokeball and see what happens. Sabin tossed the pokeball at kricketot and saw the orb twitch once, twice, three times, now all Sabin had to wait for was the reassuring click to see if it worked.

Chapter Four: The Huge Disaster
Emerald threw the pokeball and waited. A few seconds later the ball grew still, and the light in the center dimmed. Emerald grinned. He couldn't believe that he just caught his very first pokemon. He rushed over to the still pokeball and held it high in the air for the whole world to see. Ha, that'll show you dad, big bro, thought Gold happily. He wanted to show someone of his accomplishment so he bent down near Eevee.

"Eevee, look, we caught our very first pokemon and it's all thanks to you pal," said Emerald happily. Eevee smiled and responded happily. Emerald held the ball a little higher. "In fact, let's let Shinx out. I'm sure she'll want to meet her new trainer," said Emerald happily. He clicked the button on the middle of the ball and a burst of red light appeared.

Shinx came out of the ball a second later. She looked around and then saw Emerald. Shinx stared straight at Emerald with glaring eyes.

"Hi Shinx," welcomed Emerald, "am I hap-" SLAM! Shinx slammed herself straight into Emerald making him fall back. "Ow, what was that for!" Emerald shouted.

Emerald then heard someone laugh behind him. He turned around and saw a boy that looked around 16. "Ha ha, it seems like your pokemon really likes you," said the kid. "Let it take on my bidoof." Before waiting for an answer, the kid pulled out a pokeball and threw it out on the field. A small brown pokemon appeared.

"Eevee, you-" Emerald started before Shinx jumped into the battlefield. She had got on the battlefield without Emerald ordering her to.

"Ha okay then, Bidoof, use tackle," ordered the kid. His pokemon rushed forward towards Shinx.

Well I guess I'm using Shinx, thought Emerald. "Shinx, use leer!" Instead, Shinx ran forward and gave Bidoof a full-blown tackle attack sending it backwards. Then it ran forward again, tackling Bidoof again.

"Hey, kid, why don't you control your pokemon a little!" shouted the boy. "Bidoof, use tackle!" Bidoof ran forward again.

"Shinx, use-" started Emerald until he saw Shinx use a leer on her own. Then she ran forward finishing the Bidoof off. Emerald just sighed. How did he end up with this difficult pokemon?

The boy just glared and called his pokemon back. "Learn to control your pokemon," he said coldly before walking off. Emerald took out Shinx's pokeball and called her back. He may have just won the battle, but he felt like he just lost. Emerald walked away from the area of his first battle and walked a little more with Eevee following him.

Soon, Emerald saw the sign that read: Welcome to Jubilife City. The first route had been crazy, and Emerald was glad to get off of it.
