The History
In the year 2052, discovery of the world was at its height. Trainers, scientists, shopkeepers, and villains alike all started to travel more and more, going out on expeditions to hopefully discover something new. After much exploration of the ocean, a small cluster of nine islands arranged in what appeared to be an infinity symbol was found.
These were called the Eternal Isles. Immediately after the discovery, people from other regions started to travel to the area, building Pokemon Centers, Gyms, Marts, and other facilities, although most living areas were small villages and modern buildings were scarce. The natives of the Isles were very tense about new visitors entering the Isles, frequently trying to deter newcomers with warnings of disaster. However, the thought of some new place was too exciting to those who had the glimmer of discovery in their eyes. It wasn't long before more people started to come to the Isles to live and explore. Pokemon from all regions were found on the Isles and were a major factor in attracting visitors. Mixtures of different biomes could be found on certain Islands, so one could find somewhere comfortable to reside somewhere on the Isles at the very least.
However, peace didn't last for long on the Eternal Isles. A place with so much potential was sure to attract the hands of evil in little to no time at all. Team Dissipate, a newly formed group of villains soon arrived on the Isles, laying low and gathering information. In their explorations they discovered something strange on the 5th island, farthest to the west. Near the outside of one of their bases hidden in the woods, they found what appeared to be a dead Shedinja on the ground, a small glowing crystal next to it. The moment one of the Team's members touched the crystal, his body froze and he tumbled to the ground, as though his life force had been drained. It didn't take them long to assume that their comrade had met the same fate as the Shedinja.
Immediately, the group found a safer way to transport the strange object, eventually having their scientists try to examine it. While interaction with the object was limited, some of the scientists attempted to consult with the natives to see if they knew anything about any odd objects that might be on the Isles.
What they learned was a legend about the Isles.
Spoiler:
It said that a 'spirit' has always watched over the Isles. Once, long ago, the Isles lived separate from all others, upholding a tradition that was like no other. Small villages worked together and lived with their Pokemon, only using Pokemon battles as a type of judicial system in order to work out disagreements. Pokemon mainly lived on their own and the population of humans was low. The spirit made sure that this place was protected from the outside world, not allowing 'time' to interfere with a world free of corruption. Then, when the spirit found that its power was weakened and it's Isles were well protected, it fell into a sleep. Years passed without issue, but soon newcomers started to invade the Isles. They attempted to change how things had always been and it roused the spirit from its slumber.
Angered by what it saw that the newcomers had done, it started to build up its power in the only other way it could. It sent down an omen in hopes that their curiosity would eventually show them the horror they had awakened. Soon, people started disappearing from the Isles, their bodies fading into nothingness. The spirit was stealing the souls of others in order to fuel its power. Just when the people discovered this was a sign from their supposed protector, they were too late. The spirit then saw no one changed their ways even after it had shown its omen.
The spirit then made its decision. It froze time for all on the Isles and moved the Isles themselves to an alternate timeline. The fate of the people quickly changed and they lost the memories they held dear. They had the chance to start anew. The spirit gave them a chance to try again and every time they failed, time would reset once more.

After hearing this, Team Dissipate was inspired. "If this Spirit is a Pokemon, with its power we could manipulate time and fate itself!" They assumed that what they had found was the omen mentioned in the legend and decided that this was the spirit 'collecting the souls' of people and Pokemon. It was then that Team Dissipate struck. They've now started to harass inhabitants and attempt to capture people and their Pokemon in order to take their soul to fuel their 'master plan.'

Other RP Mechanics
Catching New Pokemon
In order to keep this fair and interesting, I'm implementing a kind of Random Number Generator type system when it comes to catching pokemon. If you're attempting to catch a Pokemon and you throw a Pokeball at it, I'll roll a RNG from 1-10, including a modifier from the type of Pokeball you're using. If it is a 5 or higher, you catch the Pokemon, if it is a 4 or lower, you miss and you lose the Pokeball you used. To make things simple, I'm only allowing the use of Pokeballs, Great Balls, and Ultra Ball.
The Pokeball modifiers are as follows:
Spoiler:
Normal Pokeball - +0
Great Ball - +1
Ultra Ball - +2
Great Ball - +1
Ultra Ball - +2
There is also the matter of Health Values and Status Effects. This are also modifiers. Depending on how much damage you do to the Pokemon in question and what effects you have on it, it'll either lower or increase your chances.
The modifiers for Health Values and Status Effects are as follows:
Spoiler:
Health
Green Health - -2
Yellow Health - -1
Red Health - -0
Status Effects
*These are the only ones that effect your chances at catching a Pokemon in this RP*
Sleep - +1
Paralysis - +1
Green Health - -2
Yellow Health - -1
Red Health - -0
Status Effects
*These are the only ones that effect your chances at catching a Pokemon in this RP*
Sleep - +1
Paralysis - +1
Confused on how this works? Here's an example:
Spoiler:
Marie throws a Great Ball at a Nincada. It's health is in the Yellow and it isn't afflicted by any status effects. *GM Rolls Random Number Generator and gets a 5. The Health Value takes one off the value which makes it a 4, but since Marie threw a Great Ball, it goes back up to a 5. Marie succeeds in catching the Nincada.
Stealing Souls
If you're playing a member of Team Dissipate and are attempting to capture the souls of others, you need to make sure that the gem comes in direct contact with the skin of the person or Pokemon you're trying to take the soul from. Also, to increase the difficulty of stealing souls, you have to have the Pokemon or person in question at the Team Dissipate base. Kidnapping them is necessary.
Who Are You and Who is the Spirit?
You have a few paths you can take on these Isles. If you're a trainer, you can have any mixture of backgrounds. Your main goal would be to stop Team Dissipate from stealing the souls of others on the Island and to keep the Spirit of the Isles, Desterin, safe.
You can also choose to be a Team Dissipate member and your goal is essentially to steal enough souls in order to bring out Desterin and capture it, using its power to control time and gain power over the Isles.
If you prefer a less exciting path, you could also become a shopkeeper and serve those who come to your stores, as well as have your own misadventures which could prove interesting to some degree.
As for the Spirit, Desterin is an ancient Pokemon who appears to be a snake, except it has a head on its tail as well. It's curled around a giant hourglass. The head which is at the top is white and has feather-like 'ears' which stretch off its head. The head at the bottom is black and has a pair of horns that resemble that of a ram. The two are usually in constant slumber and when they wake, they are said to change the fates of those who have woken it.
