Prologue

​

Ever watched a Pokemon battle? Ever watched two trainers, one skilled, one not, pursue battle against one another? Have you ever saw "the underdog" pull that battle out? If you have, then you know how the world of Pokemon works. Even when you're strong, even when you're "the best"... There is always that someone who is better. Cruel? I like to think so, rather unfortunately. Yes. Across the four regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, there are many, many trainers who could be classified as either category. The arrogant one, comforted by his/her team of strong and intimidating pokemon, and the shy and simple one, with his/her team of pokemon trained based off of their abilities and their inner strengths, rather than their "brawn" and "ferocity". Yes! Sometimes, the arrogant one will pull the battle out, and sometimes the shy one will pull it out. However, that really does NOT matter. Why? Because! Whether you're in Kanto, or whether you're fishing for power in Johto... Whether you're battling your heart out in Hoenn, or forming new tactics in the last region of Sinnoh... I have one last question. One that can be answered after a win, or before a defeat... Or, the other way around. That question?

Have you ever "Sinnoh" trainer like that?

The Plot

​

Enter trainer. Whether you come from the region that started it all in Kanto, or from the later discovered Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, you are needed. Eight trainers (myself included), have asked to become a part of an elite team on a far-away island. The team? Compiled of the most well-liked, revered trainers from all four regions, they have been asked to take over a series of new gyms being opened on the island. The island? Erientanto Island, located a comfy 150 miles from the "coast" of Sinnoh, and not too far from Kanto, has been recently discovered as a "hot bed" of talented trainers in search of new challenges. The gyms? Built in only the islands most popular towns, are all essentially new. The glory of those gyms? None of the gyms have specified types, so the trainers of Erientanto will have plenty of new challenges on their hands. Also, one the trainers arrive in their respective towns, they will soon discover that their living expenses are already covered. As well as having "living quarters", the trainers will also be provided with a butler or maid. Whether or not you choose to keep them is your choice.

Everything sounds perfect, right?
Not even the least bit flawed?

Wrong. See, what the trainers don't know is that they are actually being recruited by "darker forces". Those forces? You guessed it, Team Rocket! Although the trainers from Hoenn and Sinnoh will not be familiar with Team Rocket, they should be made to be familiar with the concept of evil. Not to worry though, soon after facing their first trainers at their respective gyms, the trainers will be clued in. Again, whether you choose to stay and lead your gym is your choice, but it is HIGHLY recommended that you do NOT, as the trainers that chose not to WILL wind up facing you somewhere down the line, as you do work for "evil".

For those who choose to leave the helms of their respective gyms, the path is simple: Located in Fawnburrow City, is the new Team Rocket headquarters. Upon discovering the real truth behind their being hired, the "good" trainers will pursue battle against those at Team Rocket Headquarters, in pursuit of freeing Erientanto from their dark reign. All "good" trainers MUST! meet up at some point, and develop a strategy to take out TR. The only way to Fawnburrow is by traveling through series of towns (four, in total) that is infected with plenty of weaker Rocket grunts, as well as other trainers recruited to the dark side. How to handle this will be a group decision, discussed in the OOC when made. Also, whether you have a power-heavy team, or a team based strictly on tactics, EVERYONE will serve an important role on the team. Disagreements are sure to follow, as every trainer will no-doubt be extremely independent, and not want to follow the rules of those around them. Still, as all good goes, they must stick together. Some will be closer to one another than others, and some will be more distant. Whether or not you choose to pursue romance is between you and whom you pursue, and should be discussed via private messaging. Also, do inform the GM (me) of this, so as not to anger me. You've been warned.

And for those that choose the path of evil, your path may be even easier! Upon choosing to stay at your respective gyms, you will be contacted by either the head of TR, or a grunt. Again, this is up to you. If you want to blow up your own ego, fine, I don't care. I just want you to have fun! Once officially joining "the dark side", you will be asked to take a temporary leave from your gym, and follow and plot against your former fellow gym leaders. Murder is not okay, nor is the killing of one's pokemon. Try that here, and I'll have you out of my topic before you can even say mosquito. You have been warned, again. Your overall objective as a TR recruit is to make the lives of the "good ones" miserable. Sure you can be comical, and sure you can have fun... Just keep it within the dark side, and don't let me catch you "frolicking" with one of the good ones. Get it? Got it? Good.

Also! You are expected to give a full description of the town/city that you choose. That might seem to be a hassle to you, but I like to think of it as giving you more "freedom", and ability to enjoy your journey a little more. Creativity is key, and I personally think that everyone could use a little more! BUT! You don't have to, however if you don't, I will do it for you, and you will have to live with it. Sorry, it's not meant to be rude, but if you don't feel like designing your own town, then I don't feel like changing it when you disagree. If I am forced to make it, that is how it will stay. Once again, sorry.​

[Charizard_Man]

So should we discuss what's going to happen in the first post?

 

[fawny]

Um, I edited in my character's sample post and the description of the town. Sorry it took so long. :p

 

[EeveeEvolutionChain.]

Charizard_Man: Well, I was going to answer your question, but I see you've already posted... Is there anything you are still curious about?

fawny: It is fine, dear. (: No one is mad at you, I promise. Lol.

 

[Charizard_Man]

Im mad at her alittle bit. y? becuz im evil. >:3 hahaha. lol jk. im abit crazy sumtimes. so yea anyways, just curious as to wen we're going to interact with eachother.

 

[EeveeEvolutionChain.]

Charizard_Man: Just follow my lead. Don't worry about it. Not yet. I will tell everyone when I'm ready for them to make contact. Trust me. Lol.

 

[Calder]

Ah here's the OOC lol you should link the 2 threads together, I might not be able to post as I'm visiting my Dads.

 

[EeveeEvolutionChain.]

Just post when you can. No rush.

 

[Calder]

Is it my turn now? I thought whats his face hadnt posted yet

 

[EeveeEvolutionChain.]

I decided to accept his post. It wasn't so bad, and I didn't really want everyone to get all behind, or leave the roleplay. So yes, it was your turn, but I see you already posted. So ignore this. Lol.

On another note, I will post a link to this OOC in my next post, which I will be starting later. I'd start it now, but I am a little sleep deprived.

 

[Calder]

Just a note, when I send you a PM telling you it's your turn I'm NOT rushing you, I'm just trying to be nice and inform you.

 

[EeveeEvolutionChain.]

Calder- I am aware of that. And I answered your PM. If you have a problem with me, please settle it with me by PM and PM only. Don't bring it to the OOC, in front of the others. It's a little disrespectful.

As for everyone else... I am working on my post right now. I am so, so, so, sorry that I am taking so long to post. I am writing it up right now. It should be up later today, or tomorrow. I'm not certain.

 

[fawny]

Just a note: I'm going to Disneyland today, and I won't be back until Saturday night PST time. I'm not sure if I'll be able to post; it's about a 50-50 right now. Sorry in advance, guys. :[

 

[Wolf in the Rain]

Hey. I'm writing the post now, but to be honest, I've had 4 90 minute soccer games in the last 5 days and am exhausted. I'l try to get it up tonight, but no promises >.>

 

[collie]

Kyaa yeah it seems like we're all getting busy! >.< I've got lots of stuff going on too, but I also want to write something good this round and not just...rush it out like I did with the first post.

Oh, fawny (if you get this before you've gone to Disneyland) and EEC, I was wondering if I could have my Pokemon talk like fawny does? If fawny doesn't want me to do so that's fine! (In case she wants it to be specific to her Pokemon or something.) And if EEC doesn't want me too that's okay too! I just wanted to give it a try~

@Wolf in the Rain: I offer you a basket of cookies for trying so hard! Don't stress yourself out too much!

@everybody: Cookies for everyone for being so amazing!

 

[EeveeEvolutionChain.]

fawny- That is fine dear. Thank you for keeping me informed.

Wolf in the Rain- Don't stress yourself. I know how that can be, so please, no worries.

collie- It doesn't bother me if either of your pokemon talk. Mine don't, however, so be aware that if you have your pokemon "talk" to mine, they most likely won't give you an answer. They made nod, or shrug, or shout emphatically, but that's all I really like for them to do. I just like to keep things like the anime', or whatever. So... Yes. But no problems here, with anything that you are doing. I like the creativity that I'm seeing.

 

[EeveeEvolutionChain.]

Charizard_Man, when you see this, it is your turn to post. Also, I know I have already posted this in the overall topic, but for those of you that have not seen it, here it is:

The roleplay is now OPEN for Sign-Up. We had a member drop-out today, due to personal loss, and they will no longer be a part of the roleplay. The city open is Blossomwood, and the open region now is Kanto. PLEASE POST ALL YOUR SU IN THE OOC, AND NOT HERE IN THE TOPIC. If accepted, I will notify you by PM, and if declined, I will notify you by PM. We're very sorry for the loss of rockshock28, but the roleplay must go on if at all possible. My heart goes out to rockshock28 at this time.

 

[fawny]

@collie: No, I don't mind at all! I'm fine with it. (: Only, I didn't actually mean for my Pokemon to talk, per se; it's more of a telepathic link thing. Like, Lissa's been their trainer for such a long time that she kind of understands them, and they understand her. Other people wouldn't be able to translate their "Pokespeech." I guess that I shouldn't have put their words into quotation marks, but I really hate italicizing/putting slash marks around their dialogue.

@EEC: I hope that it's okay if I continue to punctuate them like I would punctuate human words? If it's too confusing, I could find an alternative.

 

[collie]

Ahhhh okay now I understand, fawny. Makes sense (: I think I'll have Richard's Pokemon actually talk and be able to communicate with other people...if only because they're interaction with other people outside of Richard is important too. But that's good to know~!
