A Pokemon Journey!

Not open for further replies.
"Take this," Oak said and he handed me a red little computer type object.."This is a pokedex...It will register pokemon you see and catch!" Oaks said with a happier voice "Also these," He said handing me five pokeballs. "Good luck on your journey!" Oak said to me as I walked out of the lab...
Looking down the lane Ash seen the girl from the lab..He ran down to catch up with her.
"Hi, I am Ash!" He said smiling!
 
(Thank's for excepting me)

I knock on the lab door lightly and enter. Oak turns around and looks me up and down.
"Ah...another new trainer." he says "Follow me."
I follow Oak to the other end of the lab. I see several red and white capsules on little stands.
"They're pokeballs arn't they?" I ask.
"Yes" Oak replies. "Inside are pokemon..." He picks up the first one. "This is Bulbasaur, it's good-"
"-for beginners" I finish. "I know..."
"Well, well, well..." Oak says interested "So you know your pokemon?"
"A little..." I reply embarrased.
"Well...which do you want? Bulbasaur? Squirtle would probally suit you well..."
" I want Charmander" I say grabbing the ball off the table.
"...Are you sure?" Oak asked concerned "It's not an easy pokemon to raise"
"I know, that's why I want it..."
Oak observed me with curiosity.
"Well if your sure..." Oak then reached behind and picked up a red box and handed it too me. "This is-"
"A pokedex." I butt in, before looking apoligetic for interrupting.
"Hmm...I'd better be careful else you'll be stealing my job!" Oak laughs happily.
I smile back upsure but take the pokedex anyway. Why did I have to come on this stupid adventure anyway?
Turning around I notice for the first time that I am not alone...
 
(Trust me Dane. You're alone.)

I glanced behind myself and saw the boy in the lab earlier.

"Hi, my name is Liane." I said, returning his smile.

"What starter did you get again? I got a squirtle." I said, striking up a conversation.
 
(Sorry I'm terribly lost as to where we all are)

"...What was that?" I ask Oak.
"Hmm...what?" he says turning round.
"...I thought I saw someone or something...at the door..." I say pointing.
Oak looks in the direction of the door, but there appears to be nothing there.
"Perhaps you thought you saw something?" he said shrugging.
"Maybe...maybe not" I reply slowly.
"Well, best not to worry about it" Oak says merrily "Probally just the excitement of starting your pokemon journey!"
Oak reached behind him and picked up five small objects that resembled pokeballs, but just a lot smaller.
"These..." Oak says gesturing towards the small pokeballs in his right hand "...are a small gift from me to all starting trainers. You will need these to capture more pokemon"
Oak showed me how to expand the pokeballs to full size when I needed to use them.
"Thanks. I'm not very good at the "capture" thing. I mostly studied the pokemon really..." I say as I take the pokeballs from him. Oak wishes me a fond farewell as I depart.

Out side I put the balls in my bag and check my items.
"All set" I think happily. But my mind is still mulling over the shadow I saw at the lab.
"I swear I didn't imagine it" I say to myself.
I'm so lost in thought that I don't notice the figures on the road ahead...
 
"I didn't get a normal starter! I got a Pikachu. He was out of the normal starters! Well He doesn't seem to like his pokeball." Ash said as Pikachu poped out of the pokeball!
"Pika, Pikachu?" Pikachu said looking around..."Pikachu!" Pikachu looked at Ash and frowned. "Get back in your ball please?" Ash said holding up the pokeball.
 
"It's so cute!" I crooned, as I picked up the Pikachu, and gave it a slight hug, ignoring Ash's question to it.

"I'd envy you, but my squirtle's still a lot cuter." I said, like the girl I was, holding out Pikachu, so Ash could return it back to it's pokeball.

I glanced up the road and saw someone coming down. They didn't even seem to notice we were there, and if that kept up he'd surely run into us...
 
"Hey, watch it!"
Looking up suddenly I only just see the boy and girl in front of me before:
*BANG*
I run into a girl and we both fall (her backwards me forwards) onto the floor.
My hand jerks as we fall and my pokeball shoots forward and hits the boys Pikachu on the head, and then lands by me. To make it worse the ball bursts open releasing my Charmander who lands right on top of me and the girl on the floor in a crumpled heap!
"I'm sorry!" I continue to cry as we struggle to get up.
Standing up we both brush ourselves off as I apoligise to her.
"I'm REALLY sorry" I say embarrassed...
 
I stand up indignatly and brush myself off.
I already don't like this guy.
"Watch where you're going next time." I barked at him, ignoring his apology.
I glanced at his charmander, still annoyed, and stroll away from both boys.
'Boys are so impossible!' I thought as my small squirtle waddled behind me as quickly as it could, being released in the frenzy also.
 
I watch as the girl storms off before I turn to the boy she was with.
"I really didn't mean for that to happen" I say to him.
He shrugs at me as my Charmander waddles over to me cutely and smiles. I pick him up as he cries "Char!" happily.
"Well at least one of us is happy" I sigh putting Charmander back on the floor.
The boy goes to say something, but then we both hear a girl scream.
"Eeeaaahh!!"
"That girl!" the boy says next to me.
"Quick, she might be in trouble!" I say quickly picking up my bag. "Charmander return!" I command, which at once instantly causes his body dissolves into red energy before being zapped back into his pokeball.
The boy begins to follow me but he can't seem to keep up with me while holding his Pikachu.
"Hurry, we have to help her!" I cry desperatly, my will to help her empowered by my thirst to prove myself capable of being a pokemon trainer.
Responding to this he pushes himself to run faster until we just pass the entrance to route 1.
"Where is she?"
"Dunno" he replys shrugging.
"AIIIEEE!" we hear another scream and dart off in it's direction.
Then just ahead we see the girl and her Squirtle being assulted by a flock of wild Spearow. They are angrily pecking at both her pokemon AND the girl.
"Hey stop it! Leave her alone!" I shout stupidly at the Spearow.
Hearing me, a couple of the Spearow fly at us ready for battle.
The boy next to me drops his Pikachu ready to issue a command.
I hold up my own pokeball and ready myself to throw it.
"I have pondered this moment my whole life, and now that it has finally come I've got only one thing to say: Charmander...I CHOOSE YOU!" I shout loudly throwing my ball towards the oncomming Spearow...
 
(.....you know DTD, I've got a GREAT suggestion for you. STOP POWER-PLAYING.)

"Squirtle, use water gun!" I said loudly over the cawing of the spearow.
Squirtle shot a jet of water, jumbling the spearows form of flight.

I ducked as a spearow came in for a peck.

"Squirtle, use iron defense and STAY like that until I tell you!" I said as squirtle withdrew into it's shell.

(I'm quitting if DTD does any more power-playing, because, A. it's against the rules B.it's super annoying C.I have ZERO tolerance.)
 
OOC - DTD, you've got to stop creating all these events. Randall, this post can be my RP Sample...

Drew continued to skate down Route 1, he pulled off a few tricks and saw a big flock of Spearow. There seemed to be a few people being attacked by them.

"Eat this... Punk." Drew muttered to himself. He drew a Pok?ball from his backpack. A Pidgey came out. The small bird chanted it's name a few times and rested on Drew's shoulder.

"Call your flock to attack the Spearow. Call in a few Pidgeotto too." Drew whispered. Pidgey nodded and flew North to Viridian Forest.

OOC - Whoever posts next can introduce the Pidgey flock fighting the Spearow flock. :)
 
(Ok, so maybe I did get carried away. And I am sorry for that.
But I am new to roleplaying so I don't know everything yet. I'm not an idiot so a simple "please don't do that again it's wrong" would have sufficed. You made it sound like i'd done it lots of times before or something.
I followed the rule about not controlling others too much (I think), I guess I missed the one about "power playing" (has never even heard of it before).
I'll go back and change it if it annoys you that much, but please be more considerate towards the fact that I don't understand role playing as much as you. But I will learn in time. I will stop "power playing" from this moment forward.
Other then that I am enjoying this, so I will take it as a simple misunderstanding.)

The girl's Squirtle fought back bravely as my Charmander took down a spearow. The boy also seemed to be doing good, his Pikachu handling the situation well.
"There's too many of them!" I cried as some Spearow started to peck at me. My Charmander was too overwhelmed itself to aid me.
Turning to run I hear a different kind of bird cry.
"Ow! I know that sound..."
From across the trees a large flock of Pidgy fly towards us...
 
Drew smiled, He pushed back on his skateboard and yelled as loud as he can. The two flocks of birds confronted each other... The Pidgey flock included a few Pidgeotto, and even one Pidgeot... They had the advantage.
*
Soon enough, the Spearow flock flew away with the 'Pidge-' flock triumphant. Drew's Pidgey returned to his shoulder as the other birds flew away. Drew held out his hand.

"Drew Skeit, Pewter City. Nice to meet you." Drew introduced.
 
(you talkin to me? well, I'll assume your talkin to dane)

I glanced at the three boys and motioned to my squirtle.
"Thanks." I said reluctantly before slipping into the forests lining the path.
Squirtle waddled after me, and when I couldn't see any of the boys anymore I said "Well that was a pain. Let's see if there are any pokemon in here okay?"
Squirtle nodded in agreement to both of my comments "Squirtle Squirtle."
 
OCC:Dane....For one I haven't posted so I could have been fighting the Spearow..Dont control my character agian...Naoko is capable of handaling her pokemon and her character as well so do not power play again! Got it? Also since Dane hasn't posted i will act like your tlaking to me.

IC: Reaching out to shake Skeit's hand Ash spoke, "I'm Ash! I am from good Ol' Pallet! This is my Pikachu! I just got him a about an hour ago!" Ash said releasing his hand.
"Are you going on a pokemon Journey? Ash asked Skeit. I am and I am geussing the others are to! If ya'll don't mind, We could go together!" Ash said confidently!
 
even though I couldn't see them anymore, I still heard Ash's absurd suggestion.
Travel?! With those gross and wild boys?! I thought to myself no way.
I continued on my path and discovered a small spring.
Washing off some of the wounds I had received from the pesky spearow, and watching my Squirtle splash in the water gave me the conclusion that I didn't need anyone to help me.
I was fine on my own, and I wouldn't be the damsel in distress again.
Not ever.
 
(I am leaving this topic Randall-Kun for the simple reason that you didn't even read my reply, instead you just jumped to conclusions and naturally assumed that I wanted to annoy someone on purpose. I find it shocking how unjust you all have been when all I did was good over the top a bit. You all just ganged up on me not even treating me as a normal human being but some kind of idiotic animal that doesn't understand simple english. As you can see I was fairly new to the forum so you could have cut me a bit of slack but it was far easier for you all to simply push me around a bit and treat me like a simpleton. I must say you have not set a very good example for me that this forum is a place of respect and a welcoming community, you instead seemed egar to prove to me instead that you are all pig-headed self-loving asses, who can't even consider for a moment the feelings of others or see something from another point of view. I though I was comming into a community with a passion for pokemon but instead I find obnoxious git's who think they are always right. And they are the sort of people I HATE! I just feel sorry for the next poor sucker who is deluded into thinking you guys may forgive a simple mistake. I am just glad I learned early what you are all really like.
I do forgive Naoko-chan though, whom I believe was simply acting on the spur of the moment and seemed able to overlook it. It was just you and Drew (who I think was out of order by commenting on something that didn't invlove him yet) who had to go on about it.
Naoko-chan I understand what you said and I agree. But I was unprepared for your comment which was very insulting, like i'd purposefully annoyed you when I hardly even knew you.
Oh and Randall-Kun - your spelling is terrible. BUT I was able to overlook that. For me spelling is very important, but I was able to forgive you for that because I know that nobody's perfect. So next time, don't remove the splinter in my eye before you remove the log from your own.
I'm leaving now so you you can moan about me as much as you want...)
 
(....????????? HUH?! sorry, that was a reeeally long post, with a lot of sayings. ANyway, you shouldn't mind Randall-Kun, if you look in other places he's posted, you'll see that you got off waaay easy. ((go see Pocket Hearts. hehe)) Anyway, I'm sorry I insulted you, and why did I not treat you like a newb? Because I don't do that. Making people feel special because they're new is not me. When I joined PC for the first time, when Rep was still around, you kno, in one of my first few posts, you kno what the guy said to me while downing my rep? 'Get out of the hacking section you n00b'. I don't think anyone deserves sympathy from me after that one. And you'll have to forgive me further, as I overlooked your amount of posts in the first place. And yes, I am a git, and yes, I am a self-loving ***, but even I have friends. I'm an *** to a lot of people, I have no heart, and am ready to overlook anyone who thinks they're ready to lord something over me, because they just need to go jump off a cliff. If you believe that I'm saying that your an *** that needs to jump off a cliff, then you are badly mistaken. I think that you need to read the rules more thouraghly, and you need to go to the RPing help threads, for more experience. Trust me, they help. I had to go to those accursed threads, even though I've been roleplaying before I joined any forum, and I still went there, because every place has a different way of Roleplaying. I don't have time to post an IC post after that lecture, but I hope you've got a different outlook, at least on me, and the rest of PC, because not everyone in the world is a git like me. :D)
 
Nako I didn't say you were a git. I just thought it was a bit nasty of you to be so insulting when all you needed to do was explain power playing to me.
I totally respect and understand what you said, and I agree what I did was incorrect, but i do dislike the way in which i was told. That is what bothers me.
I did read the rules of role playing and I did try not to control others too much but I couldn't just talk to myself all the time. But my idea for "moving the story forward" obviously counted more towards "power playing". I am more fit for fan fiction then role playing but I thought i'd give this a shot because I thought it would be fun, but that appears to have been a mistake. I thought that if I got something wrong someone would just point it out so I could learn how to role play from experience. Not moan at me relentlessly and act like a totally obnoxious git.
Obviously the rules don't always totally click for everyone straight away. The best you can do is try to see if this person is being an idiot, or just generally making an error as I was. You see it isn't nice when you trip over for everyone to kick you while you are down. What helps is when a person offers there hand and helps the person up on there feet so they can understand what it is they did wrong in the first place.
 
OCC: Ok..I have read what you wrote Dane...The only reason my spelling is bad because I type really fast! Ya know when people are typing hte word the and the type teh. Thats a typing error cause the type fast...
POWERPLAYING: Powerplaying is where one person takes control of another persons character.
You took control of my character and Naoko's. And as Naoko said..You got off EASY! I will yell, scream, and even bash people because they dont know how to RP. i just told you not ot do it again...And yes a git I am an *** I am not...Please don't curse.
If you want to leave I am not goingto stop you. But I will say this.. I might seem like an *** but when you get to know me like Naoko is starting to, you will see I am a really good person. If I was an *** I would report you post when you cursed but I just asked nicely if you wouldn't do it again. So If you really want to RP I know the person who can help you...Just ask who and we will be good.
Naoko, thank you for trying not to make me look like an ***! *huggles*

IC: Walknig away from the other boys he seen The girl he met earlier up ahead in a stream. Walking up to her he asked, "Can I join you?" He said sitting on the ground next to her. "Whats up?" He asked her noticing the look on her face.
