After the Apocalypse: A New Leaf (Revamped!)

[Colonel Dash]

Ok gotcha. Hmm... This will be tricky. Alright so how about my guy is the descendent of Nathan. His name will be... Drake. Oh, but I have to make a new history and stuff for him. Ok can you hold a Team Nova Agent spot for me? Ill probably get back on this tomorrow with my new characters data. If Nathan had worked what would his rank be?

Can he make a device to telepathically relay the thoughts of Pokemon or like revamp the PokeNav to have a Pokemon Translator in it?

Name: Matt Renders

Gender: Male

Description: Matt is a tall male (5'12" to be exact) who weighs 150 pounds; he is slim with an average amount of muscle. He has dark black hair, which is short and ...................

Im sorry, I cant help laughing at these entences. "Matt is a tall male (5'12" to be exact) who weighs 150 pounds; he is slim with an average amount of muscle. He has dark black hair..."

Person1 "Hey buddy, how tall are you?"
Person2 "I'm 5'12."
P1 "5'...12" so you're 6 feet?"
P2 "Nope, I'm 5'12."
P1 "Right, so what color is your hair?"
P2 "My hair is dark black."
P1 "Dark...black, I'm leaving now."

Yeah so, I don't mean to be rude, but that was ridiculous. Please proof-read before you post, so you dont make a fool of yourself.

Um. . . Syn really would like to join this RP, however, she's worried she won't be able to post often. . . Ah, what the hell. She'll join, if that's all right with Brad. *smiles*

New Legend

Name: Glaciatrum

Gender: Female

Description: Glaciatrum is known as the 'Swift Claw' Pokemon. Her body resembles that of a dragon, but she lacks the majority of the necessary biochemical structure and enzymes that give Dragons' their imense power. This would place her in the category of a psuedo-Dragon. Despite not being a "true" Dragon, she has a very drakonic (and wolfish) appearence. Glaciatrum is slender and lithe, and is built for climbing over rugged, mountainous terrain. Because of her body structure, she can walk or run on either four or two legs. She is also covered in fur which protects her from the hard cold of the snow. Her fur is of three hues; Silver, black, and white. White is her primary colour, as the silver is just a long, wide strip from running from her nose, almost to her tail tip. The black is a thin and curved line that starts at the courners of her nose, runs down the length of her body, and seperates the white and grey fur. Her long ears are white, each capped in black.

However, one's attention would immediately be drawn from Glaciatrum's lavish fur to the weapons that she possesses--her talons. On each 'hand' and 'foot' is a long, curved, wicked-looking claw. These assist her in climbing through mountains and trekking through snow, as well as slashing through her prey and opponents. She could easily tear through steal with them. The drawback of these claws is that they must constantly be taken care of, and if one breaks, the pain is so agonizing that she is unable to hunt until it grows back. She is at her most vunerable when a talon breaks.

Here's a quick picture Syn drew of her: https://s257.photobucket.com/albums/hh209/ThisIsSynsAccount/?action=view&current=Glaciatrum.jpg

Personality: Being a "lesser Legendary", Glaciatrum has taken on more of a submissive and subordinate personality. She's respectful of her siblings and often gives them a wide berth, not wanting to impose herself upon them. (Obviously, Glaciatrum's view of herself is somewhat low.) She is more of a follower than a leader, and usually completes whatever task the other Legendaries request. When around people she isn't familiar with, she's rather shy and introverted, and the majority of the time Glaciatrum doesn't even bother to show herself to others.

It's unfortunate that she doesn't, however. Though she's a bit of a sorrowful creature, she tries to put on a good face for those she's comfortable with. Not only that, but she's extremely intelligent and preceptive. After many years of living in the wilderness she's become observant and quick-witted. However, there are times that she can be dangerous, such as when she feels threatened or panics--she'll completely lose control of herself and will revert to a feral state of mind.

Types: Ice and Dark, ability: New Moon (Hp gradually increases when battling at night (after 6 pm) Glaciatrum's stats rise. It's made up, is that all right?)

And, yeah. . . that's it. Syn hopes she'll be accepted, and if anything seems off, she'll change it.

The stupid database error prevented me from posting this yesterday...

Nowadays what I usually do in RPG signups is signup as a character I've created a while ago (in Lupin's case, about a year and a half ago), and modify his/her story and characteristics a bit to fit the RPG. Well, as Lupin happens to be my most in-depth character, I ended up trying to make his signup shorter... (But obviously I'm not good at doing that at all...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Team Nova Agent

Name: Edwin Tasselbury, a.k.a. Lupin
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Description:
The basics
Lupin is about 5'9" tall. His hair is fairly curly and long--as in almost touching his shoulders--and a light brown in colour. (More specifically, various shades of blond.) His eyes are a deeper, darker brown, an interesting contrast to his skin, a very pale shade thanks to lack of sunlight. Gaunt best describes his figure, yet he manages to avoid looking weak or dead. Besides, at least his face and hands don't look that bony. You won't find a whole lot of muscle on him (except maybe on his legs, since he's a very fast runner)--just enough to be able to move around and such. And with absence of strength there is flexibility anyways. Form really does follow function...
Outfit and such
Lupin wears a fairly long black jacket that fits him perfectly, so it doesn't look big on him or anything. There is the occasional golden button on the end of a sleeve or near the collar. He wears a shirt underneath the jacket, but it can't be seen at all anyways because he always buttons the jacket all the way up to his neck. Also he wears what look like black jeans, except they're made from a slightly more comfortable material. These too are not too tight or baggy. He's not a firm believer in sneakers, and thus instead wears another kind of shoe made from black leather.
Other
Lupin also wears a pair of glasses that have rectangular lenses and barely visible frames.Without them, his vision is still pretty good, but not as good as with them. Besides, the lenses (which look very slightly tinted) allow him to see invisible laser beams used for security and such. Also, he doesn't carry around any sort of bag or backpack or anything--he just keeps everything his jacket pockets for the most part. And "everything" isn't really much--just a wallet, Pokeballs, a couple of other little gadgets (to be described further in the RPG).
Personality:
General
Lupin is probably most noted for defying rules or laws or even authority, and for doing things as secretly as possible. He's also not the one to show much emotion, not even the stronger emotions such as anger (revenge perhaps--but not anger), sadness, or even joy. Instead, he'll mantain either a smirk or cold gaze when around people, or else stick around and remain silent. Or he'll just avoid other people altogether--after all, he prefers to do things alone. However, he can tolerate being around his friends or his Pokemon a little. He is capable of showing compassion for just about anyone, but there is nobody he completely trusts, although it can be said that the person he trusts the most is Kelsey (see History-Orange Islands/Hoenn), and perhaps his Sinistress (see Pokemon section). He shows respect for his Pokemon--maybe kindness is going a little too far, as he has the tendency to push them a little too hard occasionally in battles.
Strengths and Likes
Most notably, Lupin has an immense amount of willpower--when faced with anything from a regular ache or pain to a perilous situation, he'll push himself to or even past the limit of what he can do in order to endure or cure it, if he really has to (or at least not complain about it at all). Well, he does practically everything only if he really has to, just to save what little time and energy he may have. He figures that any moment could be his last, and practically dares death to fall upon him--so of course he's okay with an element of risk, all to achieve the full potential of his abilities. (Perhaps this was mainly what enhanced his intelligence and reflexes...) Anyways, going back to the first part of the Personality section... Lupin is a highly skilled thief, especially of things that are not alive. On rare occasions this gives him a bit of a thrill (especially when he spies on the victim to see the reaction to the lost item), yet it has become natural to him, since it helped him make it through most of his life. However, one thing he will never steal is a Pokemon from a trainer. He's also recently taken a liking to killing people he has a grudge against, for example. (Gangsters are fun to kill as well.) But as for murder and theft, especially (it can be applied to nearly everything else he does), he does it quickly, quietly, and reasonably. He stays calm throughout, and if anyone is in the way, he's much more likely to wait or distract them with a false kindness than just push them aside. (Going for anyone but the target is pointless and might arouse suspicion, he figures.) What's more, he takes careful measures to ensure the same thing does not happen to him.
Weaknesses and Dislikes
Most of Lupin's weaknesses are physical, yet there is the fact that he has nightmares quite frequently. Which is strange, given the fact that consciously, he really doesn't fear anything. Anyways, as for things he dislikes:
Personal questions -- To these he'll do anything but answer truthfully in most cases (though he's not likely to shout at the asker either), though he'll usually mention it not being important or lie about it.
Sunlight -- Well, if he doesn't like to be noticed and can see pretty well in the dark, it would make perfect sense for him to be nocturnal.
Teasing and name calling -- Who doesn't?!? To this he'll usually explain why it's not a bad thing, or just glare at the person.
...Among other things to be revealed in the RPG.

Rank: Elite Admin
History:
Kanto
Lup--er, Edwin, I should say (as he didn't nickname himself yet), lived with his parents in Vermilion City during most of his childhood. His parents were quite poor, as Dad had a low-paying job in the alcohol industry, and Mum was unable to find a job. Dad was angry at Mum for wanting a child so badly ("How are you going to support him, huh?"), but decided to take out most of that anger on Edwin instead. (Perhaps he still loved his wife a little.) He even took to hitting him and torturing him, in as many ways as possible. (It would probably not be wise to go into detail at this point.) Mum was afraid to stop him, fearing she would face the same fate. This stage of Edwin's life contained plenty of fear and depression, and at times got to be more than he could handle. (Yes, he was a crybaby back then.) Though over the next couple of years, he started to venture out into the city to be free from his father. He felt safer doing this at night, as somehow he felt comfortable when he couldn't be seen as easily. While out, however, there were numerous times when he nearly got killed or kidnapped by a stray gangster from Johtorre, for example. Oh well, at least it was better than hiding in his room all the time. Over time, he started to take advantage of the time when his parents were asleep, usually to steal food or money from them. ...Although this only led to a mad Dad. Anyways, eventually Edwin got really desperate and decided to try running away. So he seized the opportunity to sneak onto a ship and cross the water into parts unknown...

Orange Islands
Something fortunate finally happened to Edwin shortly after his arrival in Valencia Island: some generous woman took care of him for a short while then brought him to the orphanage that was there. It took Edwin quite a while to get used to being treated with kindness, after ten years of dealing with his father, but after a while he recovered and started to view life as quite pleasant. Well, except for the fact that quite a few of the other kids there made fun of him, probably because he was much older than most of them, or just for fun. He often got called a baby for that reason, but over time started to be called a lot of dog-related names, due to some random activity that had to do with his group forming a team and calling it the Wolves. Anyways, after two years, someone new was brought into the orphanage: a little girl named Kelsey. Edwin ended up taking quite an interest in Kelsey, mostly because she was much more respectful than the others, and because she was sort of a miserable girl as well. But, they barely had time to talk to each other before someone came along to adopt Edwin...

Sinnoh
Edwin ended up with another family who lived in Hearthome City. (Or "Heartbreak City", as it had come to be nicknamed, as places such as Amity Square and the Contest Hall were destroyed.) And it turned out that all three of his new brothers were adopted as well, so all four of them grew up to resemble a close group of friends. Anyways, in this period of time, Edwin heard about Pokemon for the first time--for some reason, nobody brought the subject up back in Vermilion or even Valencia. And, his adopted parents were interested in the history of Pokemon before the Apocalypse, and often told the children stories about the extinct Pokemon. They also told about how most legendaries escaped to a new, hidden continent. One of those legendaries was Darkrai, which came to be Edwin's favourite Pokemon soon enough. Anyways, to make a long story short, within a few years Edwin and his "brothers" (though he called them friends) all had Pokemon, and they were all traveling together around Sinnoh, just exploring and occasionally causing trouble. Also, they went on a nicknaming frenzy--all four of them gave themselves nicknames for fun. So there was Halberd, Warren, Merlin... and Edwin came up with Lupin. (After all, there was the wolf incident on Valencia, and that this group reminded one of a pack of wolves. The complete reasons were fairly complicated, but...) And, all four together became the Kuronekozoku, or "black cat clan" as they sometimes called it. Hee hee hee, what a fun little group to be in...

Hoenn
Okay, so cats are great, but they also live alone. So it happened that after a bit of wandering around Sinnoh, the Kuronekozoku approached adulthood and broke up. But it wasn't all bad--Halberd became a mechanic, Merlin became a very successful fortune-teller, and Warren got married. Er... but then what about Lupin? Well, by that time Lupin had really come to like exploring places, and so he continued doing just that. This time, he traveled to Hoenn. Hoenn was obviously very different from Sinnoh though--Sinnoh seemed like a peaceful sanctuary next to Hoenn. The continent was full of anarchy, and violence and crime broke out pretty much everywhere. But to Lupin, it actually seemed like a very interesting place--he surmised that it was "full of people in the same league as him". Yet there was one more interesting thing about the place: the Kelsey girl from before now lived there, in Slateport to be exact. But, just as before, the two barely had the chance to talk to each other before gunshots sounded near the Cycling Road. Immediately Lupin led Kelsey further along the route, far away from where the guns were fired from--only to wind up in a sort of ambush by a small gang which occupied New Mauville. Kelsey was lucky enough to escape from this attack, but Lupin wasn't. Thinking Lupin was done for, Kelsey ran away. But he wasn't--seconds later he managed to escape too (though badly hurt), and even managed to kill one of the gangsters in the process.

Nova
Lupin spent the next two years in Hoenn. Unlike during his childhood, he was not about to make a desperate move to run away, and of course he wasn't crying or even afraid either. Perhaps the course of time had changed him in this way--yet who knows how that works out... Anyways, again to make a long story short, after two years, he decided to enter New Mauville to have his revenge on the remaining gang there. It seemed pretty easy by now, but this time the gang was not there--perhaps they died out or moved. Yet there was one other person there: a grunt from this organisation called Team Nova. The Grunt had been sent by Brad to New Mauville to recruit Lupin into the team, and mentioned something about reports from other grunts and occasionally Brad, who had been watching him a few times in the past year.

So now Lupin is in Team Nova, and part of the mission to capture the new legendary Pokemon. Even though he wasn't that keen on taking Pokemon from trainers, these legendaries were wild Pokemon, so they were okay.

Pokemon:

Scout
Species: Absol
Type: Dark
Gender: Male
Personality: Scout likes to wander off on his own. In the past, back in Sinnoh, he used to do that a lot, but now that he's in Hoenn instead, he figures that wouldn't be as safe anymore. Certainly, he could wander off one day--but that would mean risking his life, something he didn't really like to do. Scout is the careful sort of Absol, and also the kind who does not like to rush into action. So in a battle, he bides his time for the first few moments, and only attacks when he feels it's safe to. He trusts Lupin quite well, and will often wait for his approval before doing something that sounds risky, e.g. going off on his own. However, he's fine with making decisions on his own in battle, as he knows that Lupin almost always follows the rules in a battle.
Description: Doesn't look too different from a regular Absol, so there's not much to put here.

Sirius
Species: Arcanine
Type: Fire
Gender: Male
Personality: It is in the nature of a Growlithe, especially, to have a tendency to be loyal to its trainer, and that was possibly a characteristic that was passed to this Arcanine as well, even after Growlithe's extinction. Unlike Scout, Sirius does not like to wander off on his own--he usually stays with Lupin unless he has a very good reason to leave him. Perhaps this is because he was Lupin's first Pokemon and thus has gotten quite used to being around him. Occasionally he even worries about him or tries to protect him. Anyways, another interesting aspect of Sirius is his attraction to girls, especially female Arcanine or such. Okay, maybe it's not as bad as the situation with Brock, yet occasionally it does annoy Lupin a bit. ("Who can be thinking about romance, especially at a time like this?!") And another aspect is that he loves to look at the stars in his spare time--perhaps that's where he got his nickname.
Description: His fur is dark red instead of the usual reddish-orange, but it's not enough of a colour difference to make him shiny. And the white tufty parts of his fur are longer than normal, and are tinted with gray instead of yellow. Oh well, at least at first glance he doesn't look to different from a regular Arcanine--the same size and everything. (Maybe he's a little lighter than the average Arcanine, but...)

Alice
Species: Shiny Umbreon
Type: Dark
Gender: Female
Personality: Alice is the most timid of all the Pokemon, as well as the most finicky. (Well, she's a cat Pokemon, what do you expect?) She's especially picky about food, appearance, and health, so she doesn't like to battle too often. Also, she'll practically never battle in the daytime, as she likes to use darkness to her advantage in battles. Plus, many of the other Pokemon agree that she looks very beautiful using a Psychic attack while lit by moonlight. Maybe this is why Psychic is her favourite attack to use, plus any other attacks that don't require touching the opponent. Anyways, Alice probably spends the most time out of her Pokeball out of all the Pokemon (though Scout comes close)--she also is not too fond of being trapped in a strange world of red energy. In fact, she hates the colour red. Although dark red is okay, as in the colour of Sirius and blood. Speaking of Sirius, there are rumours that he has a crush on her... and/or that she has a crush on him.
Description: Alice is half the size of the normal Umbreon, and her eyes are a bright magenta. (Yes, they're MAGENTA, not red, so there.) And did I not mention shiny? (In fact, her name came from the colour of the rings on her ears and such, as there is such a colour as Alice blue.)

Sage
Species: Lucario
Type: Fighting/Steel
Gender: Male
Personality: If you combined most of the personalities of Sage and Sinistress, you would get a personality very similar to Lupin's. Sage has his willpower and sense of adventure, as well as the tendency to remain calm in most situations. Also, he's not huge on battling--though unlike Alice, he prefers to fight during the daytime, as he can't see that well at night. He's probably the only one of Lupin's Pokemon who might prefer day to night, and sometimes he acts as a watchfox or something (Lucario resembles a fox, doesn't he?) during the daytime while Lupin and most of the other Pokemon sleep. Anyways, back to battles or missions, Sage is, as mentioned before, calm in most situations, and missions and adventures are no exception. Perhaps one reason why he's not too keen on battling is because he tends to get more aggressive than usual if in a battle with a female Pokemon. Kind of like the opposite of the Rivalry ability, if you ask me.
Description: Sage's colour scheme is the same as a regular Lucario, pretty much. Compared to Lupin, he's about a foot shorter and fifteen pounds heavier (maybe his tail is a factor), so compared to the average Lucario he's the same weight but a little taller.

Sinistress
Species: Sinistress (Lupin wasn't able to give her a nickname because he got her from Brad.)
Type: Ghost/Dark
Evolves From: Duskull
Gender: Female
Personality: Sinistress is not pure evil, but she's pretty close. (After all, "sinister" is part of her name.) She's quite sadistic, especially in battles--she's usually very tempted to attack the foe even after it faints. Speaking of attacks, one ability her has is to morph her attacks to have a slightly different shape or effect. Not to mention that she knows a few attacks unique to her species--Dark Fire and Soul Thief, for example. (These attacks will be described in more detail in the RPG.) Outside of battle, her method of obtaining energy is taking energy from one's aura, kind of like how a psychic vampire does. On rare occasions she'll also absorb the victim's soul into the skull charm on her cape. As for the charm itself, removing it inflicts an agonising curse upon the holder. Curse is also one of her favourite attacks to use, and besides she doesn't mind the self-damage done too much. You can call her a pain maniac of sorts. She definitely does not fear it--or pretty much everything else for that matter. (Perhaps Brad chose this Pokemon for Lupin because she resembled him in this way.) Yet it can be argued that she fears sunlight--we all least she completely despises it. Anyways, Sinistress can also be described as the most evil and the most aggressive of all the above Pokemon, and she loves to battle and threaten people. But one thing that makes her sort of opposite Lupin is emotion in general--she shows it a lot more, often to extreme points.
Description: Kind of looks like this, except with a black dress and cape, dark purple hair, slightly paler skin (if you can call it skin--it's more like ectoplasm), and a skull instead of the red orb fastened to her cape. (After all, I created Sinistress as an evolution of Mismagius, so I have to modify her to be more like Duskull, since Mismagius is extinct.) She's about two feet tall and weighs just one pound at the most--after all, she is a ghost. (Hey that rhymes!)


...And my trio of Legendaries

Primaverde
Gender: Female
Description: Like this, except without the icicles. Primaverde is about eight feet tall and weighs about 650 pounds. Arceus created her as the guardian of all plants, especially fruit-bearing ones. She was created in the hopes of re-filling the world with plants and foliage, to make the world a happier and more abundant place to live in. Of course, that would have made sense, since Arceus and Mew hoped for a better world overall.

The berry atop Primaverde's stem is a Frutai Berry, the first Berry that appeared after the Apocalypse. The berry is capable of fully healing a Pokemon when eaten, but a Frutai Tree grows very slowly without Primaverde being present. This Frutai Tree only produces one Frutai Berry, but also produces three of every other type of Berry previously in existence. The hope is that various regions would soon become berry paradises...

Primaverde is incapable of moving around on her own, so upon her creation, Arceus also summoned three Alakazam to protect and transport her. Of course, she wouldn't need to move around until she's ready to leave Mt. Silver, but she has to get to know the Alakazam a bit first, right?
Personality: Primaverde is a very optimistic Pokemon, and she has good hopes for the future of the Pokemon world now that the Apocalypse is over. After all, from such chaos comes peace and happiness, so she believes. Of course, the world may not be very peaceful now, but luckily Primaverde is also very patient--she'll be comfortable waiting 423 years for a peaceful world. But of course she doesn't believe in total peace--she knows that there will always be evil in the world. Anyways, Primaverde is calm and doesn't get upset easily, which is a good thing because she won't be complaining about not being able to walk or anything. A side effect of that is dependence--she often asks others to do things for her, although in a very polite way. ("Auroracle, would you please carry me over to the waterfall? I mean, if you feel able to...") Yes, and Primaverde is in fact very friendly as well. She enjoyed the company of the three Alakazam, as well as the company of Qingrila and Auroracle in Mt. Silver. However, she's not able to get to some of the other caves to socialise with some of the other new legendaries (which in some cases is good, because she can stay away from Apocalydraggon for instance).

Most of the legendaries have a close connection to nature, but Primaverde is most noted for it--it's as if she's the goddess of nature itself. Her main goal at this point is to plant berry trees all over the world, and bring life and happiness and bounty back into the ruins and devastated areas. Now her plan is to wait until all the violence clears up a bit at least, but she figures she'll stay in Mt. Silver a bit longer.
Type: Grass/Ground


Auroracle
Gender: Female
Description: A picture is worth a thousand words. But it doesn't show height and weight, unfortunately. Auroracle is the second tallest Pokemon in the world, at about a hundred feet long (first is obviously Apocalydraggon), and weighs just under half a ton. Her body is made of a sort of flexible crystal, the rarest type of crystal in existence. The crystal itself amplifies psychic abilities, much like a Spoink's pearl. (But obviously, while Spoink could easily lose its pearl--a reason for extinction--Auroracle could not easily lose her body.) This also means that the crystal part of her body is transparent.

Auroracle is known as the Seer Pokemon. She has a unique psychic ability that lets her see anything in the universe. And although she can't look into the past or future like Xatu used to, she can look into people's souls as well. She can't read minds exactly, but she can see into their inner spirit, and everything it's been through. So sometimes she predicts a person's motives from there. Arceus created her as an informer of what is happening in the world, and if she saw anything of importance, she would report it to some of the other legendaries via a telepathic signal. After all, Arceus decided to take extra measures to protect her, so it forbade her to exit the cave she was hidden in--an icy chamber located in the lowest point of Mt. Silver. (And it made her Ice-type as well as Psychic so that she could withstand the cold.)
Personality: After Mesprit was destroyed in the plague, Arceus figured that creating another ruler of emotion would be pointless. Even so, emotion must have been in the back of Arceus's mind when Auroracle was created, because Auroracle shows it quite a lot. When she feels the more extreme emotions such as sadness or anger, she sometimes fires waves of psychic energy all over the place, which is why the icicles in the cave she was placed in were covered with a sort of psychic shield to prevent the cave from collapsing. (Auroracle is very careful not to hurt anyone with these outbursts.) However, sometimes the ground above her chamber shakes, because the psychic waves can be pretty strong. Auroracle definitely was not creted as a weak legendary--she's probably one of the strongest in existence. And for some reason, her attacks are not as strong while she's calm. While someone comes by her cave to check on how she's doing, she stays cooped up in there for days at a time, and shows the most emotional outbursts of any time. (Maybe this is so that she could practice her attacks and get stronger?) And, sometimes she would cheat a little by venturing to the warmer cave above her. She especially does this when she becomes lonely and wants to chat with the other legendaries. Auroracle really does have a restless spirit--she badly wants to be outside, out in the world, to "stretch" a bit, to smell fresh air, to bask in the sun. She had heard of sunsets before, but never got to see one because she was created inside the cave (she was one of the last legendaries to be created). One bad thing about her remote vision, as it is called, is that it only allows her to sense the shape and perhaps colour of objects, but never to actually see them. So if there's something really beautiful in the world, she's not able to fully appreciate it. Anyways, Auroracle also becomes upset and lonely very easily, so she visits other legendaries whenever she can, since Arceus isn't around.

Auroracle's goal is obviously to get out into the world, but also to figure out the motives of the members of Team Nova.
Type: Ice/Psychic


Qingrila
Gender: It varies--often takes on the same gender as those it happens to be with. As in the RPG Qingrila will be hiding in the same spot as Primaverde and Auroracle, it'll be female for now.
Description: Six feet long, 153 pounds, looks like this. Its tail is made of (and capable of producing) a fluid that can heal all injuries, pains, missing body parts--basically fully heal a person or Pokemon. However, the tail only produces enough for five at a time, and only works on the pure-hearted. And, it takes a hundred years for the fluid to come back (although the tail looks the same until then).

Qingrila is in several ways the opposite of Apocalydraggon. It represents heaven and peace, and was created to appear in places where harm and tension are absolutely minimised. However, for some reason Arceus forbidded Qingrila to enter the new continent where the old legendaries are. To get to such place, Qingrila employs something similar to teleportation--it actually travels to a tunnel that goes between several dimensions before arriving in a new place. Usually Qingrila doesn't like to spend much time in any other dimension, as it's so unfamiliar with them, though occasionally it spends a little time in what it calls the "digital dimension", the dimension created by computers and Pokeballs. So it can also visit other Pokemon who are in their Pokeballs this way--but can't force them to come out. Anyways, Qingrila also does not like to attack or even to battle in general. Stat-wise, Qingrila is the weakest legendary in existence, and is easier to capture than a Magikarp. This is because in a world where all is peaceful, nobody would have any reason to hurt or capture anybody, so Qingrila would not need offense or defense power or high capture rate. Qingrila does have an ability to bring out peaceful feelings in people, but that might not work on those who have way too much evil in their hearts. So at the last minute Arceus put an energy field around Qingrila that stops Pokeballs from working. However, there's a suspicion that certain other electrical devices might create a hole in the shield, that the shield might deteriorate, or that someone would capture Qingrila without a Pokeball. So it should be a long time before Qingrila is ready to leave Mt. Silver...
Personality: Qingrila is a peaceful, calm, and trusting Pokemon--it believes in others completely and respects whatever they do. It believes strongly that there is good in everyone--yes, even Apocalydraggon. Speaking of Apocalydraggon, Qingrila stays far away from him when roaming around Mt. Silver. Typically the more evil someone has, the less frequently they're visited by Qingrila. Fortunately, most of the legendaries in Mt. Silver are otherwise benevolent--or at least a few of them are. Perhaps this is why Qingrila would be drawn to Primaverde for companionship, and Auroracle for protection. Who knows--maybe she might leave Mt. Silver someday, yet only by tagging along with Auroracle. Anyways, in Mt. Silver, Qingrila spends much of her time with Auroracle, asking her what she sees and hoping for a sign of peace in the world. (Currently it is hopeful for Sinnoh and the Orange Islands, at least, but not so hopeful for Hoenn, Johtorre, and Team Nova.) Or she lets her mouth drool with Primaverde's talk about berries.

Qingrila's goal is the end of all the violence and chaos and anarchy in the world, and her greatest fear is being captured by Team Nova. After all, it could not surmise what Team Nova would do to it upon capture. Torture her? Destoy her? Or maybe use her for something (it couldn't imagine what)?
Type: Dragon/Light (Light basically has the opposite weaknesses/resistances of Dark-type; Psychic attacks are super-effective on it)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, I fixed the legendaries' signups. Is it still okay to have the three Alakazam in there with Primaverde?

Whoops, it seems I indirectly stated Lupin's weight in Lucario's signup. XD

 

[Brad]

Heyhey! Here come evaluations!!!

Colonel Dash- Sure. That's fine. In addition, he'd be Elite Grunt.
Psychotic Demon- Accepted. Great job.
Ninetales- Lupin is accepted, as for the legends...

They're fine, actually amazing, but I just need a history edit. they are going to start born, in Mt.Silver, which is now in the Orange Islands. In addition, since the old legends are making new legends at a weaker state, the old legends will not be around for socialization. And no, there is no good in my guy XD.

If you edit that little bit in the history, definitely accepted to the nth degree! Lupin is an Elite Admin, that is how great your sign-up is.

 

[Psychotic_Demon]

Yay, thank you, Brad. Is there anything else we should know about the RP?

 

[Brad]

Hmm... none at the moment. You know what- I'll make a Discussion thread for this kind of stuff. All question go in there.

 

[Psychotic_Demon]

All right, that's a good idea. *sits and waits patiently for discussion thread and RP*

Actually, Syn might create another legendary to counter-balance Glaciatrum. . . If that's okay with Brad, of course.

New Legend

Name: Toxadacia

Gender: Female

Description: The 'venom tip' Pokemon. Toxadacia is built perfectly for her enviornment, the desert and arid plains. A lengthy spine and long, muscular legs give her flexibilty and power to run at ridiculously high speeds (she's the fastest Pokemon currently existing.) But, unlike most fast runners, she can turn on a dime if she needs to, thanks to her ability to twist her body around in mid air and her extremely long tail. The tail is actually a very important appendage on Toxadacia, as it not only helps her balance, but is also her main weapon. On the end of her tail is a fleshy spade that contains a system of veins full of venom. This venom is injected into an opponent or prey by the sharp tip of her tail, and once it spreads through their bodies it causes their muscles pain and forces them to lock up and spasm at random intervals. It can kill, if enough was injected into a being, but that would take almost all of Toxadacia's poison built up in her tail. The poison takes a long time to make (about seven hours for a full spade), so the more she uses, the more she has to recreate. Lucky, she can control the flow of poison, so if she wanted to, she could just slice through somethhing without poisoning it. Additionally, her tail doesn't even have to be used as a stinger. It's strong enough to be used as a whip.

Other adaptations Toxadacia has been gifted with are her large furless ears and tail spade. The fleshy ears and tail allow her to keep cool in the heat. Her paws are clawed (not pictured), but they are blunted so that they contract with the earth and assist her in running.

(She's actually from a completely different storyline, so ignore the chicken scratch around her) Toxadacia

Personality: The other 'lesser Legendary' and polar opposite of Glaciatrum, Toxadacia is a being of physical capabilities rather than mental capablities. She's headstrong and sarcastic, and could easily be considered 'b*tchy'. She usually means what she says, but not always, which makes it difficult for others to tell if she's joking around or if she actually is insulting them. She really doesn't care if they hate her or not, which only makes her all the more difficult to deal with. Either she's right and thou art an ignorant fool, she denies she ever said anything that was incorrect, or finds a way to mangle her words to form a completely different meaning, therefore justifying herself. Toxadacia's somewhat twisted, and could laugh hysterically about Armagedraggon killing an unlucky random being--after all, they're going to a 'better place'. (Not that she believes in a better place; she just wants to justify herself.)

If challenged to a battle, Toxadacia gets a little. . . crazed. She will unleash everything she has on them, and unlike Glaciatrum, she does so willingly (and frequently). Her "attack now, think never" attitude is dangerous for herself and those around her. She refuses to back down from anything, and never bothers to hide herself or cover her tracks.

Types: Poison and Fire, ability: Solar Flare (Toxadacia's speed increases tenfold when the sun is setting.)

Would this be okay with you, Brad?

 

[Colonel Dash]

Ok, I'm currently working on my guy's data, so I probably won't submit it till tomorrow or Wednesday.

 

[Brad]

Psychotic Demon- Toxadacia is accepted.

Colonel Dash- That's fine.

RPG... COMMMENCETH!!!

"Welcome, loyal minions. We are gathered here, at our main operations base, to announce an important step in our reshping of this damned world. Some her among us, mostly Elite Grunts, found something detrimental, and essential at the same time, to our righteous cause. They have found Legendary Pokemon, but not the ones of old, who left after the Apocalypse. These are new Pokemon. With them, we can reshape this measly world into a Nova controlled regime! With them, all opposition shall be crushed underneath our hallowed feet. We are enlightened, and superior to the other foolish people. Some have become enlightened, and joined our cause. Ever since I founded this organization, I have planned for the reshaping of the world, society, and the government. We shall be the new world order! It is a new dawn for this wretched world! WE ARE NOVA!!!" Brad said excitedly. He spoke with a clear, booming voice, and in it held a nice, calming, and motivational, tone. The crowd was ablaze with cheering. At once, all the minions said:
"Hail NOVA!" the minions said. Brad dismissed them, and turned to talk with his Elite Admin, Lupin.

"Lupin, I know you got the report. Other legendaries have been confirmed since then. To clarify, you shall go after Glaciatrum. Toxadacia will be captured by our UbeROB units. Other legendaries that have been discovered are Darthpsych, who I myself will capture, and Qingrila. After our first assignments, we all go after Qingrila. We must catch it so it may not spread happiness- dissent and despair are ripe ingredients for recruiting into NOVA. We will decide what to do with it after capture. Goodbye, Lupin. I trust you'll do well." said Brad coolly. He spoke with a sophistication, and the last sentence was spoken more intensely, with a barely malicious tone within it. Brad walked away, smiling- the world would fall under his thumb soon enough.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apocalydraggon had just awoken in the darkest cavern in Mount Silver. Even though he was young, he was powerful. He sat there, thinking.
"Oh... what are we going to do. Nova is chasing us. I hear Glaciatrum and Toxadacia have already been seen. So has Darthpsych. Oh well. It shall be fun to watch. Then I can kill them. Oh, how I love to kill." thought Apocalydraggon. In his mind, he also heard the tortured screams of sinners, writhing in pain as his Hell unleashed unimaginable horror on them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Darthpsych was in the left, frontmost cavern of Mt. Silver. He went outside, and wandered. He enjoyed being outside- the calm air, the nice sounds of the tropics. He didn't know what trouble was coming. He remained pacified, and continued to wander, content with his peaceful life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Team Nova Operations Base

When the rest of Team Nova was cheering after Brad's announcement, Lupin did not join in any of the commotion--cheering simply wasn't his thing. (Not to mention that he mouthed "Hail Nova" without saying anything.) It seemed that all happiness and excitement had long since left him, leaving him with his Pokemon, his own skills and strengths, and his personal plans for Team Nova. All three were just enough to keep him occupied before his most certain early death. Anyways, while Lupin was heading towards a particular room in the operations base, he thought for a while about Glaciatrum, the Pokemon he was now after.
Yes, there was a reason I requested to try to find Glaciatrum. I must admit that so far she'e my favourite out of all the new legendaries--and she comes awfully close to Darkrai in being my favourite Pokemon overall. Naturally, if I could, I'd like to keep her for myself upon her capture. Now there's an idea...

The room Lupin came to was a sort of garage for various mechs that Team Nova occasionally used. At the far side were two doors: one large one that took up almost the entire wall, and a smaller one that led sideways into a tube that exited the base. The room itself was nearly cubic in shape, and various types of vehicles and large robots were lined up on the sides. Yes, large, manually-operated robots--smaller robots like the one assigned to capture Toxadacia were located elsewhere.

But Lupin was not concerned with most of these--his attention was focused on a small aircraft in the far left corner of the room, right next to the tunnel entrance. Of course, one couldn't tell it was an aircraft by simply looking at it--its wings were folded up on the sides. The aircraft itself was called the Darkrai Nightcraft, or just Nightcraft for short--this was because it looked similar to a Darkrai. It was a very dark purple in colour, adding a touch of class to the normally dull black colour of Darkrai, and about half the size of the average car. A round glass window with a red border (much like Darkrai's collar) covered the top, much like the top of a stereotypical UFO. Inside was a control panel consisting of several buttons and a screen, just in front of the pilot's seat. The back seat was looked like a small blue sofa and could barely squeeze in three people. In back was a storage area and a sort of outlet to plug in an electric wire (the Nightcraft ran solely on electricity), as well as a panel of some sort of reflective material that generated magnetic currents. This same material was in a round panel at the very bottom in between three small wheels, and was used to keep the Nightcraft afloat. In front were the headlights, shaped like Darkrai's hands.

Lupin entered the Nightcraft and sat down in the pilot's seat. ...Wait a minute, don't things like that need a key to open? One would think Lupin would want to keep things like the Nightcraft locked... Actually he did have a key tucked safely away under his shirt, but instead of having to take it out, the key emitted an electrical signal that caused the round glass window to slide open. After that, all it took were a few button presses, a few switches... and the Nightcraft took off. ...Well not yet. First it coasted along its wheels, making hardly a sound and providing hardly any illumination. Ah well, the tunnel had just enough lights inside so that Lupin could see where he was going. So he directed the Nightcraft through the tunnel, sped up, unfolded the Nightcraft's wings (which looked similar to Darkrai's "wings" and were the blackest possible black in colour), and...

The tunnel opened up directly to the outside world, where the sun was about to hide beneath the horizon. A few purple clouds filled the pinkish sky, and leafless trees and worn-down buildings lay below. The Nightcraft continued to glide upward, while Lupin pressed a couple more buttons on its dashboard--one activated the radar system in case any intruders or Pokemon were in range (here a Venonat icon appeared on the screen), and the other told the Nightcraft to stop rising and start gliding along in the sky (here a Jumpluff icon appeared on the screen). All the icons that ever showed up on the screen were of extinct Pokemon Lupin had heard about in his youth, out of a hidden sense of regret that these species didn't exist anymore due to that silly plague. And the Nightcraft itself looked like Darkrai, a Pokemon that probably still existed but was in a completely different and unaccessible world. How appropriate to dedicate an aircraft to one's favourite Pokemon.

Lupin headed west in the Nightcraft, wishing the sun would set soon so that he would not have to look at it all the time. But one thing that did help was a feature of the Nightcraft that caused another window to cover the existing one on top, one that was tinted so as to allow less light in. This window was often up during the bright hours of the morning, and was indicated by a Murkrow icon on the front screen. Anyways, he passed over the western border of Hoenn soon enough, and soon enough was flying over nothing but ocean. So far the coast was clear...

And the coast happened to stay clear all through the flight over the rest of the ocean and Kanto. At this point the Nightcraft was flying north towards Mt. Silver, which was shrouded in fog at the time, so the window of the Nightcraft soon retained its original clear nature. Soon after that, the Nightcraft descended into the fog at the base of Mt. Silver. The radar showed nothing so far, but it didn't hurt to see in the thick fog anyways. For a while Lupin turned on an echolocation feature of the Nightcraft, causing a Zubat icon to appear on the screen. This kept the Nightcraft from crashing into a few trees for a short while, until it landed and coasted along the grass for a while. Finally it stopped, upon which Lupin exited it and locked it back up again. Then he let all his Pokemon out of their Pokeballs, so soon an Absol, Arcanine, Umbreon, Lucario, and Sinistress were standing (or floating, in Sinistress' case) near him.

"All right, stay close so that no one hears," Lupin said to his Pokemon. After everyone was gathered a bit more closely, he was able to whisper to them. Sinistress had to float right next to Lupin's face, since she knew his whisperings were nigh impossible to hear otherwise. Yet she seemed excited about what Lupin had to say, as he had a relatively bright expression on his face. Talk about unusual.
"...Well, it turns out that Baphomet has been kind enough to let us go after Glaciatrum. Who is Glaciatrum, should you ask? An Ice/Dark-type 'Swift Claw Pokemon', she looks like the hybrid of a dragon and a wolf."
At this point, some of the Pokemon nodded in agreement. They knew Lupin had once lamented (sort of) the extinction of Mightyena, the only wolf-like Pokemon in existence at any point in time. ...That is, until Glaciatrum came along.
"...She's a rather shy and submissive Pokemon, which is why I am taking a more gentle approach here. After all, it is unwise to use force unless it is absolutely necessary, and force is just not my forte. Now, note that I said 'I'."
There was a pause--none of the Pokemon dared to say anything because they figured they had to keep just as quiet as Lupin was trying to be.
"Yes, Glaciatrum would probably think that any Pokemon trainer would try to capture a legendary Pokemon upon seeing one. So you can't accompany me just yet. But if you want, you may wander around this area for a while and try to pick up information on other legendaries. Just don't let anyone know about me or anyone else. If anyone asks, say that you are wild Pokemon living in Johto who have come up here to explore the place."

With that, Scout and Alice took off together, and soon disappeared in the fog. Sirius and Sage, however, didn't mind Pokeballs too much, so they decided to go in their Pokeballs instead. Besides, Sage hated fog, and Sirius didn't like to be alone. Sinistress started to venture out as well when Lupin stopped her.
"Sorry, but you'll have to stay in your Pokeball. Most Pokemon around here might get suspicious of a synthesised Duskull evolution, or worse, figure out you were created by Team Nova. Would that be all right?"
Sinistress hovered there for a moment, a tad upset that she did not get to participate in the mission. Lupin always had to do everything himself, didn't he...? Sinistress was beginning to think that Lupin didn't even trust his own Pokemon, but then figured that Lupin's reason for not having Pokemon around made sense, as well as the reason why she should stay out of sight.
"Sinn-is." And she went in her Pokeball.

Alone at last, Lupin walked through the fog in the direction of the actual mountain. (He knew where it was, as the Nightcraft was pointed towards it.) The area around him was becoming darker by the second, and the fog was getting gradually thinner as he walked through it. Soon enough he found himself walking up a slight slope and on rock rather than grass. Normally he wouldn't try climbing a mountain like this, but he had heard that Glaciatrum was a good mountain climber, so he figured it was best to head up the mountain a ways in the hopes of finding Glaciatrum.

Mt. Silver

Primaverde had decided to pay a visit to Auroracle that day, being particularly bored. She normally spent her time planting Frutai Trees on and around Mt. Silver or talking to her three Alakazam guardians, but she knew that Auroracle easily got restless and lonely, and thus decided to pay a visit. The Alakazam had teleported her down to Auroracle's icy chamber--fortunately the waxy coat on Primaverde prevented her from feeling too cold. The Alakazam were uncomfortable in the cold, however, so they decided to stay behind.

Qingrila was in the chamber as well--she (she had become a she upon arrival, obviously) had been invited by one of the Alakazam to join the gathering. The three legendaries thus immediately broke into conversation...
"Any news from the dimensions, Qingrila?" Auroracle asked.
"I thought I caught a glimpse of the new continent where the old legendaries are, but I only but caught a glimpse of Darkrai before I remembered I was forbidden to go there, and thus returned. I hope Arceus isn't mad at me..."
"Perhaps Arceus will forgive you," Auroracle commented. "It really is too bad my vision into that other continent seems to be blocked. I really would think that we should make it our goal to try and contact the new continent."
"But if Arceus has forbidden it," Primaverde responded, "I do not think it would be wise to attempt such a task."
"And why not? We don't want the legendaries to come back into this continent--we just want to visit them, and bring them news about life here." Auroracle really would do anything to leave this place...
"Er... wouldn't Arceus be giving news to them already?" Primaverde asked uncertainly.
"Hmm, now that's a question," Qingrila wondered. "Still, I think it might be interesting to take a little vacation in that peaceful world. Why Arceus decided to put me here instead, I have no idea."
"A vacation--that's a wonderful idea!" Auroracle exclaimed. "Maybe we can round up more legendaries and ask them if they want to embark on a mission to spend a few days in the new continent?"
"If we can pull it off, it might not be a bad idea. This will also give us legendaries a chance to escape from Team Nova for a while."
"All right, as for who to ask, there's Apocalydr... wait, it's probably not a good idea to ask him... Isix, Gryphice... wait, probably not a good idea to ask Gryphice either... Toxadacia, Darthpsych, Polargent, and Glaciatrum."
"Perfect!" Primaverde announced. "So how about... Qingrila, you can go ask Glaciatrum, Auroracle can talk to Polargent, and the Alakazam can find the others. Auroracle, maybe you can try to see all the Pokemon so we know where to look. Obviously I can't go anywhere, so I'll stay put."
"Sounds like a plan to me."

At the top of Mt. Silver

Gryphice sat atop a tall rock at the summit of Mt. Silver, fearless of the outside of Mt. Silver. He stood there alert and proud, with the world within his range of vision, and with his Gligar slaves all around him. However, he found it hard to see through the layer of fog that shrouded the bottom of the mountain. Still, while there he felt like nothing could sway him, like even the strongest opponent will kneel before him in defeat. This included a particular Gligar which tried to sneak away from Gryphice... Gryphice squawked at the Gligar, causing it to turn around to face him.
"Oi! You! Fly up a ways."
The Gligar obeyed him. Once it was in the air, Gryphice glared at it, causing the Gligar to turn to stone. The Gligar fell a hundred or so feet down the mountain, and crumbled against a pile of sharp rocks.
"Anyone else who tries to walk out on me will meet the same fate," Gryphice threatened, above a huddling and quivering group of Gligar.

Up in the sky somewhere

The sky was a vibrant pinkish red around the setting sun, and the ocean reflected this light with a stunning wave pattern. Isix flew there above the ocean, nearly invisible against the western sky. She was just south of Pallet Town, not extremely far from her safe haven of Mt. Silver. She frequently ventured out here for fresh air, to keep her wings working well, and to catch a glimpse of what the world was up to. Although most of what she saw was much drinking and occasional crime in Kanto, and boundary disputes in Johto. She didn't dare venture too near Vermilion City, which she knew was one of the main entrances to Johtorre.

Isix knew her time here would be short, and in fact the sun was more than halfway below the horizon already. It really was time to be heading back to Mt. Silver for the night. So she began her flight back to Mt. Silver, before the sky got so dark that Isix could be easily spotted in the sky.

 

[Brad]

After Lupin left, Brad quickly advanced into his private hanger. It was a large room, with a retractable roof, and black walls. It was about the size of two football fields. Brad walked across the pavement on the floor to his private vehicle- the Nova X666. A large limo, it had exotic white fur covers on the leather seats, auto drive, the ability for the seats to fold down, automatic lifting doors, and other comforts. It was long, and was a rectangle in the back with 6 jet thrusters. The car was black, with white flame decals, and a golden hexagram on the front. After the middle doors, the car nose curved inward up to a point, like Speed Racer's Mach 5. On either side of the car, behind the doors, were 4 jet engines. The car had 1000 mpg of special, oxygen-releasing oil, and went at a maximum of Mach 66. It had no wheels- it levitated out of the roof, and then sped off at alarming rates. Brad got in, and the car activated. Brad was wearing his normal attire, and had all six of his Pokemon with him. He was going to catch legendaries. He had heard from his underlings that all of the legendaries lived at Mount Silver, or somewhere in the Orange Islands. Lupin was catching Glaciatrum, an elusive wolf that was seen to be as a lesser legendary. Brad was catching Darthpsych, or so the plan went- fate had other plans.

After about an hour (Orange Islands far south of Sinnoh, about 50,000 miles away), Brad landed his car, activated invisibility and guard, and unpacked his levitating motorcycle. Heb rode off into the distance, with the trees, flowers, fruit and grass seeming like a blur to his cold, malevolent gaze. He soon reached Mt. Silver. He reverted the cycle to a little hexagon, and he put it in his pocket. He unleashed Draglacier. The white and blue serpent let Brad on her back, and they quickly ascended to the middle of the mountains face. Brad then saw what he thought to be a grey griffin, surrounded by Gligar.
"Hmm... that is a legendary for sure. Draglacier, use Glaciation on the Gligar." Brad said softly. Draglacier obeyed, and she shot cold, freezing air, at negative 200 degrees Fahrenheit towards the Gligar. They soon turned into ice scupltures, and due to the slope of the plateau they were perched on, they slided down the flat rock and towards their deaths. A cracking and smashing noise could be heard. Gryphice looked pissed, and Brad smirked- he had found a legendary already, and awaited capturing it. Brad withdrew Draglacier, and sent out Masteghost- one of his favorite Pokemon.

 

[Sweet Dreams]

((Ooc: My sign-up's in the lounge, so take a look if you want.))

Danna cursed as she ran down the hall, instantly berating herself for that outward show of frustration. Members of the Team were dispersing from the large room where meetings were held, and she knew that she had missed an important announcement. Aside from a clenched jaw, no outwards sign of irritation showed on her face as she grabbed a hold of a Grunt's arm and calmly ordered him to inform her of what the meeting was about.

Deciphering the Grunt's jumbled stutter, she gleaned that new Legendaries have been found, and inwardly sighed; frustrated at the Anti-Nova meeting she had to attend. She checked to see if Brad or even Lupin had paged her and given her an assignment concerning the discovery. Five words winked at her from the small, electronic device; New Legendaries: Capture – Mount Silver. She let go of the Grunt's arm and continued on to the hangar where her own flyer was stored.

Her flyer was rather plain, compared to a few others, who like to lavish theirs with unique decorations, and was therefore nicknamed "The Needle". With a sharp point at the front that emphasised the long, thin body to decrease wind resistance, and a couple of fins near the rockets for aerodynamics, it did slightly resemble a needle. Two mechanical wings were folded and wrapped around the body, covered in a reflective foil to semi-camouflage the Needle. The foil also coated the whole ship itself. The wings were shaped like fans and used mainly for saving energy and silence, as well as stopping the flyer in an emergency. It was no battle ship, but one created for stealth and invisibility along with speed and precision. Her battle jet was in another hangar, and would be of no use for capturing.

The Needle didn't seem to have a door, or she, a key, to enter the clear bauble that contained the driver's seat, half in the Needle, and half out. She pressed her right thumb to a small, gel pad just below the edge of the shield and waited for a moment, letting the machine scan her finger print. With a small whoosh, the hemi circle rotated backwards and allowed her to climb in before closing over again. The magnets on the bottom of her flyer were also commonly used on the others' ones as well, to hover gently before using the thrusters and rocketing out to the sky outside.

The Needle was smooth and relatively quiet, which made for a pleasant ride, and she leaned back, smirking slightly.

 

[Ninetales1]

OOC: Now I have quite a few different groups to mention!

Ok, by the way, Lupin heard what Baphomet said to him--he just didn't say anything in response. I read your whole first post--there's just some things he just accepts and doesn't react to. Just for clarification...

*Hmm, it seems Lupin's not the only edite admin anymore. Fine by me--then I don't have to do all the work!

IC:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The pyramidical Polargent was a hard Pokemon to find, since it often hid in blizzards. When coming up with a plan to enter the new continent, Auroracle had volunteered to ask Polargent because A) she liked blizzards and would not mind talking to it in the cold, and B) her powers of remote vision allowed her to see where Polargent was, no matter how well it tried to hide. It really was a good thing Auroracle hasn't been discovered by Team Nova yet, because if she's captured, Team Nova could use that remote vision to their own evil. But the good thing was that Auroracle could see where Team Nova was at all times, so she knew exactly who was in Team Nova and where each member was at one time. The only thing that could block this supernatural form of vision is a stronger psychic force than her own, which really is hard to come by. It would take a level 70+ Alakazam, or perhaps Mewtwo to block out such a psychic field. Or at least that's what she figured--maybe certain other Pokemon could block out her vision as well...

As Auroracle scanned the mountain for a sign of Polargent, she came across a foggy area at the base of the mountain. While looking there, she barely glimpsed a dark purple aircraft that just landed amongst some trees. Yes, barely glimpsed--for not too long after seeing that, Auroracle got a headache.
Ouch! Auroracle thought. What in Johto was that?!
Auroracle tried looking at the same foggy spot again.
"OUCH!" Why is this happening?!! This worries me--I thought the only Pokemon capable of blocking my vision were Mew, Arceus, the fabled Mewtwo and Darkrai, and perhaps the Alakazam protecting Primaverde (though they would have a harder time), and maybe a very, very angry Apocalydraggon. Apparently there was something about that aircraft that blocked my vision... Wait, WAS it an aircraft? It looked a lot like Darkrai... No, that's impossible. Darkrai is supposed to be on the new continent, so I don't thing it'd be allowed to travel here. Yet still...

After a short while of contemplation of how in the world her vision could have been blocked, Auroracle tried out her remote vision again, this time turning away from the foggy spot and trying to find Polargent again. After a few minutes of looking left and right and around and through, she spotted it at last.
There!
And with that, Auroracle took off, leaving her icy chamber behind as she flew towards Polargent's hiding spot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, three Alakazam sat in the chamber directly above Auroracle's. They had picked up every part of the legendaries' conversation below them, every single emotion and telepathic signal. Then they started their own conversation, while sitting cross-legged in a triangle and facing each other. First, a caramel-brown one with long black whiskers spoke.
<"Right, Sundiata, you know what we heard--we are to inform Isix, Toxadacia, and Darthpsych about our plan to enter the new continent.">
<"Yes, yes, Sumanguru, there's no need to tell us what we already know. Now stop acting like your IQ is 4000 and start planning."> The second Alakazam, the one the first had spoken to, was a whitish gold in colour, taller than the other alakazam, and the parts of his body that were brown on most Alakazam looked to be made of gold on him.
<"May I go after Isix?"> said the third Alakazam, one who was more pinkish in colour and had much shorter whiskers and smaller shoulders--clearly a female. <"I only ask because she's more friendly with girls, for the most part.">
<"Certainly Circe,"> Sundiata answered. The second he said that, Circe teleported away. <"All right, now tht we got that straight, Sumanguru, why don't you go after Darthpsych, and I will talk to Toxadacia.">
<"I will, but again, please just call me Suman. You'd think with an IQ of... 6000, you'd be able to remember that.">
And with that, the last two Alakazam teleported away, Sundiata feeling mildly humiliated as he vanished to the outside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Auroracle left before Qingrila had the chance to talk to her. Alone and clueless as to where to go, Qingrila flew away from the icy chamber, and through the darkness. For a brief moment it spotted two Alakazam talking to each other, but they teleported away the instant it saw them.
Aww darn, how am I supposed to find Glaciatrum now? Qingrila thought. Wait... last time I talked to Auroracle, she saw her sitting on a ledge on the side of the mountain. I doubt she's still in the same place, but it can't hurt to find out... Hey wait, that ledge is near the Frutai tree. Maybe I can stop there--I've longed for a nice piece of fruit for quite a while now. Those Enigma Berries are especially delicious.

It didn't take long for Qingrila to reach the ledge--it did a sort of somersault in midair, causing a portal to briefly appear and form about it. Then Qingrila disappeared along with the portal, traveled through a wormhole for a short while, and came out just above the ledge Auroracle had seen Glaciatrum on earlier. Nope, no Glaciatrum this time.
I figured she'd be gone... Qingrila thought as it flew down to the Frutai Tree, which was easy to find because of its magnificent, berry-laden branches glistening in the very last specks of sunlight. Night was approaching quickly now, which meant that Glaciatrum would probably be more active around this time. Anyways, Qingrila spotted just what it was looking for--a trio of Enigma Berries bunched neatly together on a branch. Near it were a trio of Kasib Berries, Razz Berries, Mago Berries, Nanab Berries, Tamato Berries, Strib Berries, etc... and of course the single rainbow-coloured Frutai Berry sitting atop the trunk of the tree. This really was a tree of life.

Qingrila was reaching for an Enigma Berry when it paused... or should I say he paused. Whenever Qingrila sensed someone's presence, it also sensed the presence of a certain gender, if the individual had one. (Qingrila remembered one such encounter with a Metang--it sensed the Metang's presence, but the presence of a certain gender.) Just before leaving the inside of the mountain, Qingrila felt a male presence briefly, coming from the two Alakazam, and before that a strong female presence from Auroracle and Primaverde. Now, it felt another male presence. But what was it coming from? Another legendary? Nah, maybe it was just a Pokemon that stopped by to munch on some fruit. But no, it couldn't be. Qingrila started to feel uneasy, and he felt parts of his body turning briefly purple. This wasn't a good sign--the only time this happened was when he detected an evil presence. And an evil presence plus Qingrila equals the risk of Qingrila transforming into something evil and unruly--something more arrogant and powerful yet still easy to capture. Qingrila had taken extra precautions to avoid his "evil form" ever since being told about Team Nova.

Wait... Tam Nova. Oh no, if whoever Qingrila sensed was a member of Team Nova, he really was doomed... With that, Qingrila panicked and flew as far away from the Frutai Tree as possible--around to the other side of the mountain. Finally it got to the point where it could see the summit of Mt. Silver. Qingrila spotted Gryphice sitting atop of it with what looked to be a pile of ice around him, and nearby him was a large man with some sort of humanoid Pokemon next to him. Oh no--was this another Team Nova member? Qingrila was too afraid to get close to whoever it was, and besides it didn't particularly like Gryphice. Out of desperation, Qingrila returned to the interior of Mt. Silver, using the same method it used to exit it in the first place. Finally it was sitting in the same chamber as it had been before, panting and shaking all over. That really was a close one...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Isix grew more and more worried as the sky around her darkened--the sun could set anytime now. She occasionally glanced behind her to find that the sun was already halfway on the horizon. There really wasn't much time, and she was barely flying over Pallet Town as she spoke. There was no time--she needed to speed up...

WHOOSH! Isix shot through the sky like a fiery comet--to some folks on the ground she might have looked like a shooting star. With all her might she flew in the direction of Mt. Silver, glowing with a fiery determination to survive despite the presence of Team Nova and being cut off from the supposed new continent. She didn't care if anyone saw her at this point, because she would be very hard to attack or capture while flying at mach 3 or so in a cloak of fire.

It took Isix mere seconds to reach Mt. Silver. Upon spotting it, she slowed down and ceased to look like a fireball. Then she spent some time gliding around Mt. Silver for a while, looking for an entrance into the mountain. It had gotten a bit darker, and her normal entrance was also hard to find because it was probably cloaked in the fog that still surrounded the base. Anyways, Isix thought she spotted something going on at the summit--a battle of some sort--but she didn't have much time to look. For at that moment, something heavy appeared on her back, though not heavy enough to prevent her from flying.

The thing was actually a Pokemon--an Alakazam in fact. It was an Alakazam the colour of a chocolate-covered Cherubi (no seriously--a cherry-coloured body with chocolate brown shoulders and forearms and such) and short whiskers, one she had never seen before. Fortunately Isix didn't freak out at the presence of strangers, although there was the mild possibility that this Alakazam belonged to Team Nova...
<"No, Isix, I mean no harm,"> the Alakazam reassured her. <"I am Circe, and I have been summoned by Arceus to protect Primaverde. Anyways, I am here about a plan concerning the new continent. Auroracle, Primaverde, and Qingrila have recently formed a plan to travel to the new continent, and possibly recruit some of the legendaries there to help in the fight against Team Nova. Well, the last part about recruiting was not in the plan--that's just my thinking.">
"Well, you are a smart Alakazam," Isix commented, "so of course it's your duty to make a brilliant plan even more brilliant."
<"Yes, more brilliant than your flames."> The already pink Alakazam blushed and rubbed her head with a spoon. <"So anyways, are you in? Will you help with this mission?"> Circe was aware of the presence of a person at the top of Mt. Silver, so she was talking as quietly as possible to avoid being overheard. Isix had talked in a louder voice and might have been heard, but at least she didn't talk about the details of the plan.
"Well, I suppose I am," Isix answered. "You know how I love to travel, and it certainly must be beautiful there." While Isix said this, she spoke with a quieter voice, following Circe's example. Circe really was a smart Alakazam after all--but then again, was there ever an Alakazam that wasn't smart?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gryphice was fine until this big, black, muscular man showed up and sent out an ice dragon Pokemon, who froze his Gligar slaves with a blast of very cold air. Gray though his normal colour was, he seemed to turn a bright shade of red as these events happened. Well, it was perfectly natural for Gryphice to feel this way--after all, he held the essence of the Seven Deadly Sins, one of which was anger. Gryphice glared with such a fury that usually frightened any onlooker to the core, and thought malicious thoughts about the pair.
I'll rip those two apart, one by one. First I'll freeze that draconic b**** in her own tracks, then eat her trainer for supper. Good--this means I won't have to settle for fried scorpions this evening. Human tastes a lot better and requires no cooking. Mmm, yummy.
Then he said in a booming voice,
"No one, and I mean, NO ONE except ME is allowed to touch my precious possessions (here he indicated the Gligar)! Foolish human, you will pay for your indecence!"
And with that came a piercing screech, louder and more terrible than that of the fabled harpy. Brad and Draglacier had to cover their ears to avoid hearing loss from this.

Gryphice did not hesitate--he jumped into the air with incredible power and speed, but he didn't get very far before he dove back down again with the same amount of force. But he didn't crash into the mountaintop--instead he stopped just before hitting it. The loss of momentum was converted into an attack that surrounded Draglacier, in the form of jagged rocks and metallic, wing-shaped energy blasts, and flew inward to hit her.

Still, Brad didn't seem to be frightened, not even when Gryphice shot that frightening look at him. After this attack, he sent out Masteghost, a humanoid Pokemon covered in guns and gold armour. Whatever--Gryphice was 1000% sure he would win this battle from the start (yes, he had that much pride), and this Masteghost was just another victim to take care of. Ah yes, Masteghost... a Ghost/Steel type, so many immunities and resistances indeed, but also a weakness to fire. Fire. Gryphice could do that.

So Gryphice tilted his head upward and stood proud, forming a ball of dark energy in his mouth. But tiny black flames had barely begun to form from it when someone interrupted him... an Alakazam teleported right in front of him. Any aesthetic person might find this Alakazam attractive, with his glossy, caramel-coloured skin and long black whiskers and an added sheen to his spoons. But Gryphice didn't care how pretty he was--he was in the way.
"WHY do you inter..."
Before Gryphice could finish, the Alakazam teleported with him, taking him far away from Mt. Silver...

The two Pokemon ended up at the top of a mountain, but this one was Mt. Coronet, all the way in Sinnoh. It was a remote location with no one around except Gryphice and the Alakazam. The Alakazam kept an eye on Gryphice after the teleportation, as if waiting for him to calm down. Like that'll ever happen... Anyways, Gryphice started by continuing that he was trying to say before...
"All right, WHY did you in..."
Gryphice was again interrupted--the Alakazam used Psychic to hold his beak shut. Gryphice was a strong Pokemon, but strength was no match for such a mental force. Obviously this was a high-level Alakazam, quite possibly a higher level than Gryphice was.
<"Please keep your voice down,"> the Alakazam commanded. <"I mean, you're a cool Pokemon and all--whoa, that attack you did was amazing--but you really need to chill, man. Anger can only be your aid if you know how to control it. Or something like that.">
Gryphice growled as he shook off the force of the attack at last. This Alakazam needs a reality check as to who he's dealing with.
<"Now, relax... I am your ally. I was trying to protect you. You were...">

Gryphice lunged at the Alakazam, who teleported to the other side of him.
<"Urrgh, it's me, Sumanguru, one of the guardians of Primaverde. You know, a fellow legendary Pokemon! But you can just call me..."> and here he dodged yet another attack from Gryphice, <"...Suman. Please, relax, dude, you'll get your revenge whe the time is right. Come on, impatience isn't a deadly sin! That black bloke there was in Team Nova--he was trying to capture you! You don't want that to happen, do you?"> Suman was trying to speak in a loud whisper, so as to not be extremely loud. At the same time, a Scyther flew by and raised an eyebrow at the sighting of a legendary Pokemon.

The two Pokemon stood there staring at each other for quite some time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the fog, two Pokemon walked side by side--an Absol and a shiny Umbreon. These two--or at least the Absol--loved to explore, so it was a good thing their trainer had just let them go off on their own for a while. As they walked alongside trees and logs and stumps through a gradually darkening sky, they occasionally talked to each other.
<"Oh wonderful--it's finally getting dark,"> the Umbreon commented.
<"Well, Alice, it's a good thing for you that Lupin is nocturnal too,"> the Absol added.
<"Oh Scout, you make a lousy poet with that rhyme.">
<"Oh come on. We're supposed to be looking for Glaciatrum. Well, any ideas on where to look?">
<"I suggest the forest--wolves and dragons like the forest, don't they?"> Alice suggested.
<"Sounds like an idea to me.">

With that, Scout leapt gracefully over a jagged stump, deeper into the trees surrounding Mt. Silver. Alice blushed as he did so, and scooted around the stump to follow him. She really did like to watch him jump... Anyways, nothing particularly interesting was in the forest--a Gastly here and there, more fog, etc. etc.

<"Scout, are you still tracking the scents?">
<"Oh, of Lupin and Glaciatrum? I have no clue what wolves or dragons are supposed to smell like, and you know how difficult it is to identify Lupin by scent alone.">
<"Yes, why can't he, say, use a cologne that smells like roses or something? Now that would be easy to identify.">
<"That'll never happen, you rose obsessor. Hold on, I do smell something sweet... something very sweet... a berry perhaps... lots of berries...">
<"Are there Bluk Berries?"> Alice asked eagerly. She luuuurrrved Bluk Berries.

Just then, a deafening screech sounded from above--it seemed to be coming from the top of the mountain. Alice and Scout looked at each other in surprise.
<"Quick, let's head into that opening!"> Scout ordered. <"We can get your Bluk Berries later!">
<"Wha...?"> Alice would miss her berries, but the screech did sound like it came from a horrible creature who wanted to eat her, so she agreed to follow her Absol friend. Soon the two entered total darkness, and were crawling through a narrow tunnel. Both of the Pokemon hoped they were headed into something interesting...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sky was a little darker than it had been before Lupin arrived here. This pleased him greatly--this meant that he wouldn't stand out as a black speck in the brightness of the late afternoon. True, the sun was still partially visible on the horizon, but at least it was darker than before. Lupin happened to be on the southeastern side of Mt. Silver, so the mountain blocked the view of the sun. If he had been on the other side, it would have been a different story. Anyways, a short ways away, Lupin could see a group of baby Cranidos playing near a large rock. Wait a minute--weren't Cranidos extinct, and weren't they native to Sinnoh? Time and apocalypse really were factors in the diversification of Pokemon habitats... and this was a prime example.

Lupin walked away from the Cranidos without being seen, and continued to head further up the slope. A ways off to his right, he found a place where the slope was milder and lined with rocky protrusions that looked relatively easy to climb--rather like a bumpy stairway with no side railing. He was just about to walk to this slope when he spotted something bright in the sky. For a split second it looked like a fiery comet, but then it materialised into a birdlike shape as it got closer. Then it started circling around the peak of Mt. Silver. Hmm--was this another legendary Pokemon? Anyways, seconds after that happened, a terrible, deafening screech sounded from the summit. Lupin reacted to this quickly by crossing his arms and gently sticking a fingertip into each ear. Yes, count on him to do such little things with speed and sophistication...

Lupin shut his eyes tight for a brief moment, but that was it. Besides that, he just dismissed the screech as nothing more than a Skarmory with a megaphone, perhaps. Nothing to worry about. Lupin just continued on until he reached the slope he spotted earlier. The jagged and relatively level slope seemed too easy a slope for Glaciatrum to be on, but the reason why Lupin picked this particular one was because of a large ledge above it, one that held a large patch of tall grass, a few rocks, and a single tree, a large and lush one covered with numerous kinds of berries. This could easily be a gathering spot for Pokemon and a sort of sanctuary for any sort of legendary Pokemon. Not to mention that he could barely spot a large, rainbow-coloured berry resting on the trunk of the tree, one that he had never seen nor heard of before. It probably was produced by something truly legendary indeed. Probably not Glaciatrum, but some legendary Pokemon or another--a reincarnation of Celebi perhaps? Those details were not important at this time anyways. Within a few minutes, Lupin reached the grassy ledge containing the elusive tree. He quickly avoided the instinct to keep staring at the tree and the various berries covering it--no matter how hungry he was, he did not come here for a snack.

But one thing that caught Lupin's eye was something white that approached a trio of Enigma Berries on the tree. This was not a Pokemon that Lupin recognised, meaning it was either the ghost of an exinct Pokemon, a Team Nova-made Pokemon, or a legendary Pokemon. The latter seemed the most likely, judging by the location. In fact, this might have been the Qingrila Brad had told him about. Interesting... he comes here for Glaciatrum and finds Qingrila instead.

Lupin started walking towards Qingrila, who seemed to turn more purple as he approached. Qingrila didn't see him, but as he got closer, it began to sense his presence and reverted to a state of panic, or even fear. Then it quickly vanished.
'Tis a shame, really, Lupin thought. I suppose I must have thought Qingrila was within reach for a while. I certainly never heard of it turning purple like that--maybe it does that when it's afraid, perhaps? Now, that might be an interesting little factoid.

Although Lupin showed little interest in the Frutai tree, he ended up sitting on a rock near it--who knows, Glaciatrum just might be drawn to this place.

Then, Brad saw a red phoenix in the sky. He realized this was another legend, and sent Negatov after it.
"When you find it, Negatov, use... Omega Thunder. Then, dash after it. Use Gamma Spark. You decide the rest of your battle plan- I'll meet up with you after this legend is defeated." Brad calmly commanded. Suddenly, the Alakazam and legendary teleported.

"After them- Spectral Vortex, Masteghost." Brad commanded. A red portal opened, and both arrived at Mt Coronet.
"Begone,. stupid Alakazam. If you do not, Masteghost will easily dispatch of thee. Now, legendary, en garde! Masteghost, use Spectral Vortex." Brad said in a calm, yet demanding tone. Brad's black face was hardened in focus, yet his mind "smiled" happily- Masteghost was perfect against the cocky legendary- evil, tricky, and powerful. Masteghost entered the portal. The Pokemon could still hear Brad, and Brad's next command.
"Masteghost- use Almighty Barrage." Brad said calmly. The portal reappeared behind Gryphice, and a maelstrom of missiles engulfed the Pokemohn. This move was not fatal- it probably did 1/3 damage, Brad surmised. His opponent was a legendary, but as the smoke cleared, Brad saw the Pokemon, glaring with hate, glowing shrapnel wounds across his body- shallow, but they still hurt when all the pain was combined. Brad had the upper hand here- no stone glare, a Pokemon that could easily teleport, and a Pokemon immune to its two biggest weaknesses- Fire and Ground. Being ethereal, all attacks except those of Psychic, Ghost and Dark missed completely. His ability- Ethereal, allowed this. In addition, Masteghost had another ability- Spectral Royalty- giving him immunity to Ghost, and making Dark do normal damage. Brad had worked hard on Masteghost, and his amazing abilities made him a powerful force in Brad's team. The legendary was lucky Sculptuglass wasn't sent out- Ground and Psychic made him a perfect match for the Rock legendary. In addition, Sculptuglass was immuned to Grass- molten means HOT. The other ability made Water normal damage- most water attacks evaporated. After Masteghost, IF Masteghost was defeated, then Sculptuglass would come out, and the legendary would be Brads. If the Alakazam interfered, Yokitsune would easily dispatch of him, along with help from Negatov. Brad was happy- this was going better than expected. A legendary he wasn't even aware of until a few minutes before- these legendaries sucked at hiding.

[Charchic]

Team Nova Agent:

Name: Michael Alan Smith
Gender: Male
Description: Michael is a short boy with short brown hair, he has a scar down his face from the left side of his cheek down to his mouth, his eyes are bright green and his teeth are very white. His hair is short, very short, and dark brown with a line running through it. He has scars all over his hands and usually has a sad expression on his face.
Personality: Michael is a generally angry person. He hates anybody who doesn't agree with him, considering he used to be a very nice and polite boy his sudden change to an evil teenager is strange. He is very polite and respectful but this doesn't not change the fact that he will do anything to save those loyal to him and kill anybody who gets in his way or harms any of his Pokemon. He has no sense of humour and nothing seems to make him laugh. And people find him generally depressing and cold, the problem with this teenager is he will kill anybody, without hesitation, he will not give them a chance to live, he will just kill them instantly. He bites his nails and paces around alot, he generally never just sits down and relaxes.
History: When Michael was born he was left at birth, in a childrens home, and there he was treated like dirt, not only by the carers, but by the other children, it was only when Michael reaches the age of 13 when he had enough of it, and burnt down the entire home killing everyone in it. Because of his age Michael was not arrested, they didn't know he murdered them, and it was classified an accident, although Michael was fully aware of his actions, and meant to kill them.

Team Nova Pokemon

Species: Eevee
Types: Normal
Gender: Female
Personality: Eevee is a cold hearted Pokemon, she shows no mercy to other Pokemon, and likes to eat them after they faint. Eevee hates everyone, every single person in the world, other than Michael. Eevee was beaten by Pokemon Trainers as a baby, and ever since she loves to watch Pokemon trainers suffer and cry. Her personal favourite is when they beg for mercy, and she watches Michael kill them.
Description: Eevee look's alot like, your average Eevee, except most of the time she has a sweet expression on her face, which is ironic due to her bloodthirsty personality. She wears a pretty pink ribbon, which also adds to the ironicness. She is well groomed and her fur is clean and soft. Her eyes are big and blue and her tail is long and magestic.

Hope I get accepted. Thanks.

 

[Brad]

Ahh... your character meets the evil requirement... but description is scanty. Personality is fine. You really need better Pokemon. An evil EEVEE!! At least Umbreon... come on, Eevee is too cute. More POkemon needed.

 

[Sweet Dreams]

((Ooc: Glaceon is cute too.))

The Needle flew silently around the mountain, its reflective foil camouflaging it and made it look like part of the darkening sky. Danna had paused, once, as a streak of light passed overhead, certain that it was not a meteorite – not that close to Earth. However, she could not ascertain where the object had disappeared to, but she knew it was somewhere around the area. Pursing her lips, she lightly veered away from the safety of the distant sky, closer towards the shrouded mountain until she was as close as she could possibly be without crashing into the walls. On her screen was a scan of the stretch of wall in a two metre radius from the ship, and she searched for any kind of entrance to the tunnels, and the possible Legendaries inside.

Idly, as she stared at the screen, she began to ask herself questions about the lives of the Legendaries for entertainment. What did they eat and where do they obtain the foods from? What did they all do all day? How often, if ever, did some of them come out?

She circled ever lower down the mountain as she mused on the answers, the imagination from her youth bubbling up and showing her an image of a plump Absol-like Pokémon gorging on huge clumps of Grepa Berries, when something flashed on the screen. Abruptly stopping the Needle to a hover, she shook her head to clear the ridiculous picture and shoved it into the back of her mind. There was a small opening under a ledge just large enough to hold the Needle, fortunately enough, so she parked the flyer and stepped out, taking a moment to adjust to the thin atmosphere.

The land stretched out below her, mainly green from the leafy trees that blocked any view of the ground. Blue waves could be seen as well, relatively calm this evening, further off, only just separated from the violet sky. She glanced briefly at the breathtaking scene before turning to much important matters of business.

She was standing on the roof of the mouth of the narrow opening. To get into the opening would take some manoeuvring. First off, she would send one of her Pokémon down, and quickly decided on Glaceon. She was the smallest, and also quite agile, and unlike Irelectic, actually listened to her commands. Well, most of the time, anyways.

Crouching, she placed her hands on the edge for balance as she leaned over, until she hung there. Carefully, she threw a ball down to the opening and released her Pokémon, reaching out to catch her Pokéball as it returned. Glaceon took stock of her surroundings, sitting there obediently as she braced herself for another mission.

Danna brought her body back up, immediately turning around and suicidally stepped backwards into the open air. For the small moment when she was suspended in air, a natural adrenaline pumped into her veins, and she cautioned herself not to whoop out loud. Then, her hands caught at the ledge, and the momentum of falling was immediately transferred to the one of swinging herself into the fissure. She landed lightly, balancing on the balls of her feet and crouching, almost cat-like, before straightening up.

Motioning to Glaceon, the two continued inside as the passage wound deeper downwards, seemingly to the heart of the mountain. The silence inside would have been eyrie to her younger self, but now she noted it and put it aside.

As they continued deeper into the darkness, a sudden peacefulness washed over her, and the quiet purr from behind her announced that her Pokémon felt it too. She felt… Protected, and warm as she leaned against the abrasive cave walls and closed her eyes. The last time she felt this at home was when her mother used to sing her to sleep-

Her eyes shot open, and she quickly constructed an emotive wall between her and that outside, unrelated feeling. Scowling, Danna deduced that the content Glaceon would be of no help at the moment, and let her be. She focussed on finding where this feeling emanated from, and the possible Legendary that might be the source of the irritating sensation that pressed around her. Sighing heavily, she continued on in the only direction available to her at the moment – forwards, checking that Glaceon wasn't so sunk in a stupor so as not to follow.

 

[Ninetales1]

OOC: Where's Polargent anyways?
IC:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hmm, what's the most productive thing to do while waiting for Glaciatrum? Lupin didn't want to spend too much time waiting here, just in case Glaciatrum was somewhere else, like on the other side or the inside of Mt. Silver. But he would continue waiting underneath this tree, just in case Glaciatrum did show up, for a few minutes perhaps. Yet still, there was no use doing nothing--besides, he already planned out what to do with Glaciatrum. So with that, he looked around at some of the berries. Directly above him on an easy-to-reach branch were a trio of Wacan Berries. Ugh, it almost made him sick just to think about the taste of these berries, or anything particularly sweet or sour for that matter. Ohh, and the same thing went for anything creamy, like the trio of Custap Berries next to them. After a little while, Lupin finally picked an Aguav Berry, stared at it for a little while... and put it into his pocket. After all, if it upset his stomach like most things did, it would not be wise to eat it just before a mission.

So Lupin took the time to take out his "Pokevice", an updated version of a Pokedex that had various other features, but the one he was primarily interested in was the mobile feature. He usually used this to keep in touch with his friends when the Kuronekozoku still existed, but now he used it to send a text message to Brad:

"This is important: If you see me on or in Mt. Silver or with Glaciatrum, pretend you don't know me."

Lupin thought about also including some new information about Qingrila, but there were hidden reasons why he didn't... Anyways, after sending this message and putting the Pokevice away, Lupin spotted a Pokemon approaching the tree. Glaciatrum? It did look mildly wolf-like, but it was yellowish in colour and had too many tails... Nope, it was a Ninetales. This Ninetales stood up on its hind legs and grabbed a few berries with its paws or teeth. It ate one--a Magost Berry--then frowned at the other--a Rindo Berry--and kicked it away. Then it looked up and saw Lupin sitting there. Ohh, now this was a surprise--what was a human doing all the way on Mt. Silver, so far away from civilisation? Was he in Team Nova? Hmm, if he was, wouldn't he be battling a legendary Pokemon like the larger man on the summit was? Nah, maybe just a weary traveler. Anyways, Ninetales was one of the more intelligent species of Pokemon, to the point that it could understand human speech and even motives very well. Not to mention it wasn't as afraid of humans as most Pokemon were, especially at this point in time. So for a while it sat there looking at Lupin...

"Nine!" "Nine!" Just then, two smaller, single-tailed Ninetales energed from behind the adult one, clearly babies. Nowadays Ninetales were born with only one tail which split into nine upon adulthood. Hmm, a mother Ninetales brought her children here--how sweet. The babies both gobbled up a Magost Berry their mother had left them, then engaged in a conversation with her. After that, the mother Ninetales picked up the Rindo Berry by the stem and walked over to where Lupin was, telling her children to stay there.
"Nine. Nine?" the Ninetales greeted, dropping the berry at Lupin's feet. "...Nine."
"Well, hello there," Lupin replied. "I suppose you don't like Rindo Berries. But really, how could you have known that that is the only kind of berry I can safely eat? I would think you could read minds."
The Ninetales cocked her head to one side and waved her tails a slight bit, while Lupin picked the berry up.
"Anyways, I journeyed up here in the hopes of spotting a legendary Pokemon I've heard stories about. I really do enjoy observing Pokemon in the wild--hoping that I don't intrude on any private business--and those legendaries, unheard about before the apocalypse, are especially elusive. My travels took me to this mountain, around which Glaciatrum--I think it was--dwells. And for a second, I thought you were her. Aside from type, there is a strong resemblance."
"...Nine..." Ninetales didn't know whether to feel ashamed or embarrassed. It might be flattering of someone says you look like a legendary Pokemon, but it might be humiliating if you call a Fire-type Pokemon an Ice/Dark-type. But oh well, Lupin didn't seem to mean to insult her, nor, to her relief, to battle or capture her. Maybe he wasn't even a Pokemon trainer...
"Nine." Ninetales nodded and walked back to her two babies, and then continued up the mountain with them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, inside the damp and spacious chamber of Mt. Silver, Primaverde sat in the darkness, waiting for Auroracle or Qingrila or one of the Alakazam to return, or maybe for the company of another legendary Pokemon. It would seem boring to be rooted there to the spot with nothing to do, but Primaverde was doing something: thinking about the Frutai Trees she planted in various places. Her first tree was on Grapefruit Island, in the Orange Islands. Then there was one in Floaroma Meadow in Sinnoh, at the base of Mt. Moon in Kanto, in the Relic Forest in Orre (right where Celebi's shrine was before the apocalypse), and on Mt. Silver in Johto. Primaverde felt a sort of warmth inside of her whenever someone picked one of the berries off of them, especially the Frutai Berry. Now she was focusing on the tree on Mt. Silver--five berries had just been picked. One Aguav, three Magost, one Rindo. Good--that meant the tree was attracting Pokemon, just like Primaverde hoped.

Primaverde's thoughts were interrupted by Qingrila appearing in the chamber a short distance away. It seemed to be very scared when it appeared, and even started to weep a bit. Oh no--what happened? Did it narrowly escape a battle? Did it lose a battle? Did it encounter a bully? Of course, Primaverde saw no use in guessing what hapeened--after a while, she asked.
"Qingrila, what's wrong?"
Qingrila flew over to Primaverde and hugged her. Then she really did start to cry.
"I... I... I was h-h-heading over to yor Fr-frutai tree, w-when I sensed an evil presence... Then, I flew up... to the top of Mt. Silver, and saw... another evil presence, a man battling Gryphice with a Pokemon I don't know about!"
"Hmm, Team Nova members, perhaps? Yes, you were scared, weren't you? Anyways, did you find Glaciatrum?"
"No... she's always hard to find. I hope she's in Mt. Silver, because then I won't have to go outside again.
"It's all right--just calm down for a moment..."

Primaverde then hugged Qingrila with two of her roots. For now the two were safe in their chamber...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hmm, so Brad sent out Negatov after Isix and Circe. Circe was at a type disadvantage here because her Psychic attacks had no effect on it, so she kept quiet and held on tight to Isix as she flew around. Brad probably sent out Negatov because Electric-type attacks were super-effective against Flying-type Pokemon. Not to mention that Brad commanded the hovering black ball to use two Electric attacks. The first, Omega Thunder, Circe warded off with a Psychic attack. But afterwards, Negatov flew right at Isix with amazing speed, hitting her with another electric attack of some sort. Circe was able to jump out of the way, fortunately, but still the attack scored a direct hit at Isix. However, it did a quarter as much damage as Brad probably anticipated--because Isix was Fire/Dragon-type, not Fire/Flying. Still, Isix called out to Circe, as if asking for help.
"Circe!"
<"Oh, hold on!">
Circe knew that it was bad news to be fighting someone from Team Nova, so she teleported Isix to safety--specifically, the top of Mt. Moon in Kanto. Nearby was the mighty Moon Stone which was once a popular gathering place for Clefairy. Now it was left abandoned, tarnished by the elements. It was in this location that Circe received a telepathic message from Sumanguru...
"Circe, I'm being attacked! Someone from Team Nova--and Gryphice is with me! I'm in my hideout spot--where are you?"
"I'm in my hideout spot, with Isix," Circe answered. "Hold on, I have a plan..."
Circe then proceed to send a telepathic "picture" of her plan to Sumanguru.

On Mt. Coronet, a separate battle raged on with Masteghost and Gryphice. Masteghost had just used an attack called Almighty Barrage on Gryphice, doing a considerable amount of damage. Gryphice glared at Masteghost after being knocked over by this attack, completely unaware of the glowing wounds on his back and the right side of his body.
"Ha!" Gryphice shouted. "You think I'm done after an attack like that?"
Gryphice started preparing another attack, but before he could fire it, Sumanguru teleported him again...

The two showed up in Johtorre, in an area that looked like an abandoned tennis court. Gryphice and Sumanguru stood facing each other on opposite sides of the mouldy "net", and as usual, Gryphice was the fist to talk in his booming voice...
"HEY! I told you, you can't..."
At that moment, Circe and Isix arrived at the same spot.
<"Come on Gryphice,"> Circe pleaded, <"you really shouldn't be battling someone in Team Nova!">
"Oh yeah? I can take golden boy there!"
Circe rolled her eyes, especially after seeing the glowing wounds on Gryphice's body.
<"Then it's time for Plan B..."> she continued in a sad tone. With that, she and Isix teleported again.

For a short instant, Gryphice and the caramel-coloured Alakazam stood alone in the chamber. Sumanguru kept his gaze on Gryphice, oblivious to the Masteghost who appeared out of a portal behind him.
<"All right, Gryphice, if you really, REALLY want to fight, I think there's a way I can help you. I think that... Masteghost... is...">
"You stay out of this, pretty boy!"
Gryphice then blew a gust of rock-infused wind at Sumanguru, knocking him against the rocky wall. Sumanguru hit the wall head-first, but the impact reminded him of something:
Oh yeah, Darthpsych...
And with that, Sumanguru teleported away, leaving Gryphice alone with Masteghost.

When Gryphice spotted Masteghost, he finally became aware of how painful his wounds were. But this didn't matter too much--in his mind, he was still winning. With nothing but battle in his mind now, Gryphice used Double Team. Or should I say Septuple Team--Gryphice split himself into seven copies instead of the normal three, one for each deadly sin that was in Arceus' mind upon his creation. All seven copies then proceeded to hit Masteghost with a Dark Pulse. The seven different Dark Pulses had different shapes, which formed little pictures on the ends before hitting him. A coin, a cupcake, a letter Z, a heart, a crown, a fist, a thunderbolt... All seven of these images shaped the seven Dark Pulses just before impact.

Hmm, which copy was real? Well, gee, that's a good quetion... Actually, two of them could take damage from attacks, but which ones...?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Circe and Isix appeared inside Mt. Silver--in a chamber on the far eastern side of the mountain. It wasn't very deep into the mountain--which was good because Isix always liked fresh air, which came from a narrow tunnel not too far away. This tunnel was too small for a human to fit through, and too twisted to look through, so the two were safe as long as they didn't shout. Anyways, inside the chamber, Circe sat on a small rock, illuminated by a soft red glow coming from Isix's flames. A calming aura seemed to emanate from Isix's flames--perhaps her flames contained energy fields that were actually expansions of her aura, so they reflected her feelings and intentions. If Circe closed her eyes, she would probably feel like she was sitting in a sauna.

"That was close..." Isix commented, relieved that she was no longer in battle with that strange black orb of a Pokemon. "What was that Pokemon anyway?"
<"It's probably one of the new Pokemon synthesised by Team Nova,"> Circe surmised. <"Apparently those Team Nova members don't mind showing off their man-made Pokemon, literally announcing to the world that they're in Team Nova. I must admit that if I were in Team Nova or even any gang, I would want to keep my identity secret from most everyone... that way I'd face less opposition.">
"That is very logical," Isix agreed. "Unfortunately, power taints one with pride, so it makes people feel that they can crush any opposition anyways. ...Just look at what happened to Gryphice."
Isix began to worry about Gryphice. Sinful and arrogant though he was, he was an excellent guardian of Mt. Silver, and a signal to never give up hope. Isix began to worry about what would happen if Team Nova captured Gryphice, and what they would do with him. Well, it certainly was a good thing that Gryphice was extremely disobedient to just about everyone...
"But now," Isix continued, "Team Nova has spotted me... I feel so ashamed..."
<"Don't worry about it,"> Circe reassured. <"I have a feeling that soon enough Team Nova will be overthrown, and this will all end. Perhaps the gateway to the new continent will open up as well.">

The tunnel that Alice and Scout were crawling through started winding left and right, up and down... Scout led the way, with Alice following not too far behind.
"Abs..." Scout winced. Alice had just stepped on his foot.
"Umbre umbreon," Alice apologised.
"Abb..." Scout whispered, telling Alice to keep quiet.
After a while of crawling, Scout spotted a faint red glow coming from the end of the tunnel. When he (and Alice, soon enough) saw it, he was overcome with a feeling of calmness, as if someone was singing to him without making any physical sound. Alice looked ahead in awe--she had once overheard Merlin, one of Lupin's old friends, talking about auras, and about how some auras can inpire feelings, which feel much like songs except without the music. It was a complicated feeling, yet anything supernatural is complicated anyways.

It wasn't too long before Scout and Alice saw the source of the glow. The tunnel opened into a chamber, in which an Alakazam was sitting next to a phoenix-like Pokemon.
Is that Moltres? Alice thought--she remembered Lupin mentioning a legendary phoenix-ish Pokemon called Moltres once before. This Pokemon didn't seem to totally match the description he gave--since when was Moltres sunset-coloured, and since when did it emit calming energy waves from its flames? Alice thought about asking Scout about this, but as she was in the presence of two strangers, she now had to remain as quiet as possible. Especially since there was an Alakazam who might psychically sense them.

Alice and Scout made practically no sound as they walked out of the tunnel and around the darker portion of the chamber, while the two other Pokemon were talking. Soon enough, they hid behind a rock and listened to their conversation. Judging by what they were saying, the possible Moltres had almost been captured by Team Nova, but the Alakazam had rescued her. Then the two mentioned other things, such as philosophical talks about pride and corruption, a Pokemon named Gryphice, and the new continent. One thing the Alakazam said almost made Alice laugh:
<"I must admit that if I were in Team Nova or even any gang, I would want to keep my identity secret from most everyone... that way I'd face less opposition.">
Ha ha ha, that Alakazam is so psychic, Alice thought. That's exactly what Lupin does, and that's exactly why Sinistress wasn't allowed to come with us.

A beach at sunset--what setting could be more relaxing? Especially after being in a place as chaotic as Johtorre, and being engaged in a battle with a Pokemon who could only be hit my three types of attacks... Anyways, two Pokemon sat on this beach: Darthpsych and an Alakazam named Sumanguru. The two watched the sun set until the sun sank below the horizon, a perfectly flat horizon formed by the ocean. Then Sumanguru spoke to Darthpsych, the area around him darkening by the second.
<"Hey there Darthpsych!"> Sumanguru greeted, waving his hand and twirling his spoon around. Ahh, what style. <"I'm Sumanguru, one of the guardians of the legendary Primaverde. You know, the one who planted that Frutai Tree on the side of Mt. Silver. Aren't those trees amazing? Anyways... Primaverde, Auroracle, and Qingrila have just been discussing a plan: one that involves visiting the new continent, and possibly informing the legendaries there about the rest of the world. Not to mention it would be a great temporary escape from Team Nova. I know... you... may... think it... impossible... buuuuttt...">
Sumanguru could hardly believe what he was saying--here he was blatantly mentioning something that Arceus might punish the legendaries for, or something that was too good to be true.

 

[Brad]

"Masteghost, you know what to do. Use Spectral Vortex" said Brad as the Dark Pulses raged at Masteghost. Masteghost evaded, and then Brad commanded another offensive.
"Delta." Brad said. Masteghost went into Gryphice, and continued to damage the Pokemon as steel spikes protruded from the Pokemon. Gryphice roared in pain.
"Alright, go Masteghost. Find Negatov. Go, Sculptuglass. Your abiltiy to hit Flying types with Ground attacks will be useful here." said Brad calmly. Masteghost left, and Sculptuglass was sent out.
"Now- Glass Tomb!!" boomed Brad. A wall of molten glass surrounded Gryphice, who did not move- it was a Ground Attack. But in for a surprise he was- the tomb surrounded the Pokemon, and hardened. No sound came- the glass blocked it. Brad laughed, and waited patiently for the Pokemons next move.
