Ever Sinnoh Trainer Like That? (PG)

[Calder]

Trainer Name: Calder Ablaze (Cold Water Set On Fire) (A Pun to him being Quiet yet having a fiery background)

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: Calder is about 6'3-6'4 in height towering most people he meets. Calder's right eye has a burn mark around it from an accident that happened as a kid and is usually the first thing noticed about him, if not his height. Calder's muscles are sort of big from the training in his father's gym.

Calder's hair and eyes have a special effect about them as they change color, his hair changes depending on the temperature if exposed to it for long, for example it gets darker the colder it is and it gets brighter the warmer it is. His eyes change colors at random, one day they could be yellow and one day black. Calder's outfit is composed of a long sleeve white shirt and dark green vest with brown pants and white shoes.

Region You Hail From: Sinnoh Resort Area (Came from Choza, but has a house in the resort area when invited)

Good or Evil?: Evil (Anti-Hero)

History: Calder grew up with his father in the Lavarock Town of the Choza region where his father was the 6th Gym Leader in his Fire/Steel Gym, located inside a volcano. Calder grew up with his family pet Growlithe which he grew to adore bringing his Growlite with him to school. Being the gym leader's son, he had to do chores for the gym since he was 10 like setting up traps, getting supplies to the volcano from town, and making sure no trainers were harmed in the gym.

Later he become a trainer on the path inside the gym for challengers to face before fighting his father, using his Growlithe, Heatran, and other Pokemon special to the Choza region. One day when Calder was 14 he walked in while his father was training on a slow day at the gym, his father's Arcanine was going crazy for some reason and ended up giving Calder a nasty burn on his right eye. Calder was so hurt he ran away without a word, thinking his father did it on purpose for some reason. With only his Heatran he took on the Choza Region growing stronger all the time and never contacting his father ever again leaving his pet Growlithe behind.

At the age of 17, Calder became so strong his region got rather boring for him so he traveled by boat to the Battle Area of Sinnoh. He bought a house in the Resort Area using his battle winnings and stored his trophies there. After spending a year in this area getting as strong as he could he got invited one day to be a Gym Leader which he gladly accepted partly to stick it to his father.

Personality: Calder usually keeps to himself now a days, if someone is being messed with right by him he will ignore it under most circumstances. Calder is was trained in a volcano and trained in different fighting styles so if needed he can protect those he deems special. He usually thinks alot and keeps his ideas to himself, rarely he will speak his mind, and only if it is important. Calder also acts differently in battles as he usually taunts the enemy and makes fun of there weakness.

Sample post: "That was a joke!" Calder smirked as his opponent's Heracross was defeated by his Absol. "Challenger Ian was defeated by the Ace Calder!" the announcer screamed while the crowd went while, the wind blowing extremely hard blocking out their effort. "The best around? Ha! Your a joke" Calder pointed to his chest on the right side of his dark green vest laughing and returning his Absol while his opponent returned his Heracross saddened by his defeat. "Man...you did your best Metabee" his opponent whimpered. "I'll take my winnings now" Calder smirked leaving his opponent on the ground crying.

Man this is getting so boring, every day, same skill, same tournament, same everything, WHERE'S THE CHALLENGE? Calder thought as he walked back to the resort area carrying his trophy and prize money. The mail was just coming around at the time Calder was heading back home. He noticed the man shove a package in the mailbox outside his house. Man I hope its not another trophy or Dad trying to contact me again with bribes. he grunted as his feet where tired from walking and he just wanted some sleep. He grabbed the package, sent out his Pokemon into their area of the house to get fresh air, set his trophy in the trophy case and laid on his bed, starring at the mystery package. To Mr. Ablaze he read to himself, he sighed as he opened it expecting a trophy or bribes from his father.

Calder pulled the contents on the package out and laid them on the counter. What is all of this? he examined the contents and noticed a ticket for a yacht to some island, he also noticed a note. Blah Blah Blah Pleased to invite you Blah Blah Blah Island Blah Blah to become a Gym Leader? Woah! Calder had always wanted a challenge, being a Gym Leader would surely bring a challenge, it was also on some fancy new island. Where's the official league seal that proves this is real? I wonder where it is. he found what appeared to be the seal on the package so he let his guard down. I got to pack, this is going to be fun!

Okay, i'm going to post it in a minute, but so no one takes it while i'm writing, please reserve Kanto and Blossomwood.

Trainer Name (First and last, please) : Alex Morrison

Age (between 15 and 18) : 15

Gender: Male

Appearance (One good paragraph, at least) :
Alex is 5'7, with short, brown hair. He is thin, and has

green eyes. He's not very strong, but he's generally

good-looking. He always wears baseball caps, and casual

clothes. (Jeans and t-shirt.) He also always wears blue

sneakers.
Region You Hail From (Two per region, no exceptions) :
Kanto.
Good, or Evil? :
Good (Is this for later, when everyone finds out?)
History (must be 2-3 paragraphs, with 3-5 sentences a

piece!) :
Alex was always the loner, the kid in the back of the

class that no one cared about. He wasn't loved, he

wasn't hated, he was just there. If you asked anyone in

his class to define him in one word, they would say

"Normal." But nobody knew the real reason why he didn't

hang out with anyone. Nobody knew he was too busy with

his Pokemon. He was obsessed. Ever since his father

bought him his first one, he loved them. He spent days

and nights training them outside of his home city,

Vermillion. After a while, it stopped being a hobby. It

became a career. When he was ready, he went to Pewter

and defeated Brock easily. But, it didn't stop there. He

went from city to city, town to town, and managed to

beat every single Gym Leader. However, he lost to the

Champion, Sean (Me, after beating Red.) He was

devestated. He didn't know what he did wrong. He

couldn't afford any more potions, so he went home. He

dropped of his Pokemon in the P.C, and hasn't used them

since.
Personality:
Alex is nice, can crack a few jokes, but you do not want

to make him angry. If you do something to him, he will

turn on you in an instant. He holds grudges, and never

lets go until he gets payback.

Your Gym of Choice (first come, first serve!) :
Blossomwood.
Sample post (must be at least 2-4 paragraphs, with 3-5

sentences a piece!) :
"Alex!" Alex's dad yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
"The cab's here, and I'm not buying another plane
ticket!"
"I'll be down in a minute, Dad!" Alex said casually from
the top of the stairs. He needed to soak everything in.
He got a call a few days ago form a man telling him to
come to a place called Erientanto Island. He said that
they needed the best trainers from around the world to
come. He was going to be a Gym Leader. He was so
excited, he went straight to the P.C, took out his
Pokemon, and prepared. He stood up, and went downstairs.
The car was waiting for him. He got in, and said goodbye
to his dad. "Don't forget to call, i'd like to know how you are
doing."
"I will, Dad." Alex closed the door.
After the long flight, Alex landed in Erientanto. He had
to take another car to Blossomwood. When he got there,
he stepped out of the car. It was amazing. Everything
was so, colorful. He saw the Gym. It was painted an
amazing shade of Green. He smiled. He knew that this was where he belonged.

Sorry, I was writing it on Notepad so it wouldn't log me out. And okay, that sounds good.

 

[EeveeEvolutionChain.]

Alright... rockshock28, for now you are accepted. But I would really like to see a little more length and detail from you once it all get's started, okay?

 

[rockshock28]

Okay, i'll make sure I do that. So, does it start when everyone is all signed up?

 

[EeveeEvolutionChain.]

It starts when every spot is filled, yes. There is only one person left who has to give me their SU, and if she is accepted it is then that we will start to figure everything out. We'll need to get a posting order situated, and we'll do that once the OOC is accepted. And it may be tomorrow before that happens. So, yeah. I guess it really depends on when the OOC is up as to when we'll all start.

 

[fawny]

Sorry I took such a long time! D8 This behemoth of a post took forever to type up. ._. But anyway, here it is:

Trainer Name (First and last, please) : Callista (kuh-LISS-tuh) "Lissa" Evans

Age (between 15 and 18) : 15; turning 16 in two weeks

Gender: Female

Appearance (One good paragraph, at least) : Lissa has almond-shaped, sea green eyes and hair that falls to her shoulders in reddish-gold waves. Because she is pale and burns easily, especially on her face, she must apply liberal amounts of sun block when going out into an extremely sunny area like the beach. She has the lithe build of a runner, and she's 5'5". Her usual outfit consists of a long-sleeved olive green shirt, a black-and-white scarf, and dark blue skinny jeans.

Her hair is the one thing about her appearance that Lissa actually likes, although she is very touchy about its color. As a child, Lissa received many compliments about her hair's quality, which boosted her ego, but she was also teased for being a "blonde redhead." Thus, anyone who refers to her as a blonde will probably be punched or have something thrown at them. If she allows somebody to call her a "strawberry blonde," that is a sign of trust and friendship on her part.

Although Lissa is not big on accessories, she does wear two every day: a pink heart necklace worn under her shirt and a brown beaded bracelet. The former was given to her by her mother and the latter by her father.

Region You Hail From (Two per region, no exceptions) : Sinnoh, Hearthome City

Good, or Evil? : Good

History (must be 2-3 paragraphs, with 3-5 sentences a piece!) :

Spoiler:

Born in Hearthome City to Adite (uh-DIE-tee) and Malcolm Evans, Lissa was an only child. Except for Adite's departure, she had an uneventful childhood and thus was very bored for the first ten years of her life.

Before she had Lissa, Adite was a famous supermodel who made tons of money. She had Lissa after settling down with Malcolm. However, Adite soon began to feel a restless urge to return to the fashion industry. After a fight with her husband when Lissa was two, she eventually left them to pursue her career once more, leaving a sum of money, a promise to supply them with more money if ever should they need it, and a necklace for Lissa. This necklace is now worn by Lissa every day.

Malcolm was devastated that his wife had divorced him, and he never fully got over it. This strained his already distant relationship with his daughter, so Lissa grew up a rather lonely, bored child. One day, while wandering around Hearthome City, she stumbled into the house of Bebe, who was tapping away on her computer. Bebe took one look at Lissa and felt bad for the poor girl even before Lissa sat down and spilled her story. Eventually, she and Lissa became good friends, and for Lissa's ninth birthday, Bebe presented her with a newborn Eevee. A delighted Lissa named her Eevee Ellie, and the pair grew inseparable.

But this did not quench Lissa's thirst for adventure. The day she turned ten, she said goodbye to her father and left on her journey with her Eevee, a bag full of supplies, and 10000 Pokedollars from her mother.

Lissa used some of her money to buy a trip to Oreburgh City, the home of the first gym, but apparently, she made a mistake, as the train took her to Sandgem Town instead. She managed to get past this, however, and even use it to her advantage, as she used the time to pick up a Chinchou and train her team. By the time that she met Roark, she tore through the gym with ease, something that continued for the next three gyms--and then she challenged Fantina.

Fantina proved to be very tricky to defeat, especially because Lissa felt cocky after her last four wins. A humbled Lissa walked out the gym, having only defeated Fantina's Duskull, and just barely, too. Fantina's Haunter crushed the rest of her team. Her Eevee saw Lissa's disappointment, so it evolved into an Espeon. Delighted, Lissa ran back into the gym and beat Fantina's first two Pokemon, but then the leader sent out her final Pokemon: a Mismagius. It took two more tries until Lissa finally received her fifth badge.

The rest of the gyms were easy enough, as was the Elite 4. Although Cynthia was tricky and stronger than Lissa had expected, she had the type advantage over her Pokemon; plus, neither Lissa nor her team wanted to lose and then start the challenge over again, so they fought doubly hard. At last, Cynthia's final Pokemon fell down seconds before Lissa's similarly exhausted Pokemon. She was crowned the new Sinnoh Champion and then invited to the Battle Frontier. Each Frontier Brain was stronger than the last, but she triumphed after a while.

Then she received the mysterious call from someone named Mikohashi Sabib. He had asked her to be a gym leader on some faraway island. Lissa was okay with it: she didn't really want to see anyone in Sinnoh--except Bebe, but they could video chat--and it wasn't like she had anything to lose. After consulting her Pokemon, she called back and accepted the post.

But when she learned what her city was called, she and (most of) her team freaked.

Rainbow Town? It sounded like a town for hippies! Unfortunately, Lissa knew that she couldn't magically take her mail back, so she gloomily gathered her possessions and became Rainbow Town's new gym leader. Yippee.

...Well, at least the food was good.

Personality: Lissa is...odd. She has a quirky, sarcastic sense of humor that not many people understand, and she is a lazy procrastinator. When upset, she will retreat to her room and fall into the universe of a good book; rarely does she ever spend time with others while unhappy, and when she actually does seek companionship, it is that of her Pokemon. Lissa is very opinionated, but she has a tendency to sugarcoat the truth if it offends anyone, a fault that she is working to fix. If someone can get past these faults and onto her good side, however, they will have a friend for life. Which could be either good or bad for you.

Officially, she is an INFJ.

Your Team of Pokemon:

Spoiler:

Nickname: Ellie

Pokemon: Espeon

Gender: Female

Personality: Ellie is bubbly. And talkative. She's playful, she loves to tell corny jokes, and she's talkative. Even as an Eevee, Ellie talktalktalktalktalked all the time (fortunately, she doesn't sleeptalk). Because she is a Psychic Pokemon, Ellie has the ability of telepathy, an ability that has transformed her into a nosy Pokemon that loves drama. This ability has gotten her into trouble on several occasions, but her response is always the same: "It's not like I can help it by evolving into a non-Psychic Pokemon. And--OHMYARCEUS YOU THINK SAMMI IS CUTE?"

Don't assume that her vivacity makes her a complete airhead, though. When Ellie is sad, angry, or otherwise upset, she can be very catty. Her scathing remarks are par with those of both Rayde and Skull.

History: Bebe gave Lissa an Eevee as her ninth birthday present. This Eevee was later named Ellie. Ellie was Lissa's pet for one year while the latter waited impatiently for her tenth birthday. Both of them were relieved when the day finally arrived.

Ellie has a very tangled relationship with Rayde and Ruby. When Rayde was a Budew, she and Ellie were quite close due to the similarities in their personalities, but Rayde drifted away after turning into a Roselia. As a Vulpix, Ruby had a crush on Ellie; unfortunately, Ellie was not aware of either his feelings or her own. Once Ruby evolved, Ellie realized her feelings for him but did not do anything about it out of respect to Rayde and because she did not want to create a fracture in the team's battles. There is bitterness between Rayde and Ellie and tension between Ellie and Ruby due to this.

She evolved into an Espeon in order to help Lissa defeat Fantina's Haunter. Unfortunately, this removed her immunity to Ghosts; nevertheless, Ellie enjoys being an Espeon.

Nickname: Sammi

Pokemon: Lanturn

Gender: Male

Personality: Sammi is funny, clever, and friendly, but he will not hesitate to inform others what he is thinking. He tells things as he sees them: in a straightforward, frank way that has earned his teammates' respect, despite the fact that he's told each of them off before. A very proud Pokemon, Sammi holds a grudge for a while, and he will forgive but not forget. Sammi is larger than most Lanturn (maybe because Lissa feeds him so much chocolate) and sort-of rivals with Ruby.

History: He had a stable childhood and logical parents, which contributed to his mindset today. Sammi was a happy Chinchou with a great life (for a fish). However, he left his family in a fit of rebellious teenage angst one day, dramatically declaring that he would never return.

On the same day, a steaming Lissa stormed down the road upon discovering that she had ridden the train to Sandgem Town rather than Oreburgh Town, as she had intended. Lissa found herself staring at a body of water, which she kicked viciously. Sammi, who had been swimming moodily around in this patch of water, popped up indignantly and attacked. Frantically, Lissa rummaged in her bag for the first Poke Ball that she could find and pulled one out, hoping that it was her Eevee's Poke Ball. It wasn't Ellie, unfortunately--but surprisingly enough, the Poke Ball caught Sammi (upon closer inspection, the Poke Ball turned out to be an Ultra Ball).

Sammi did not forgive Lissa, even after she apologized ten times, until she bribed him with a piece of chocolate, which probably was not a wise move on her part since it caused Sammi's addiction to chocolate. He graciously helped her defeat Roark, and after that it just sort of snowballed into his becoming a part of her team.

Nickname: Ruby

Pokemon: Ninetales

Gender: Male

Personality: Ruby used to be a male, Vulpix version of Ellie, only he talked a little bit less. And then he evolved into a brooding, elegant, and aggressive Ninetales--in other words, a teenager. When he became a Ninetales, Ruby's perspective of the world changed. Ruby's rival-of-sorts is Sammi, as they are opposites, and Ruby believes that Sammi likes Ellie (to which Sammi snorted, "Dude. She's a cat, and I'm a fish. If anything, we

History: Originally, Ruby was bought as a guard-Pokemon for the Oreburgh Mining Museum, but he was too friendly and playful. The Houndoor and Houndoom there teased him for this as well as the fact that he was a measly Vulpix, which resulted in his dislike for all things black-and-red with horns and maniacal grins.

Eventually, the guards proclaimed him useless and released him. After walking out of the Oreburgh Gym with a badge gleaming in her fists, Lissa found him wandering around the city, looking for scraps. He then became the third member of the team.

Nickname: Rayde

Pokemon: Roserade

Gender: Female

Personality: Like Ruby, Rayde was a bouncing ball of fluff (leaves in her case) as her pre-evolved form. Then she turned into a Roselia and eventually a Roserade. Since her view on things changed, she was a loner while the others were still laughing and carefree. During this period, Rayde developed a wry sense of humor and a candid attitude, like Sammi. She is best friends with Ruby since he sympathizes with her new situation, but this does not mean that she will put up with some of his more trite antics.

History: Rayde is the only one of Lissa's Pokemon acquired through normal means. While Lissa was wandering around in Eterna Forest, hopelessly lost, Rayde wandered out on the path and was captured. She led Lissa out of the forest, which made the trainer so happy that she gave Rayde her last piece of chocolate, much to Sammi's dismay, and named the Budew Rayde. A play on the word "rayed," it was also meant to represent Rayde's possible future as a Roserade if she wanted to become one.

Ruby is Rayde's unrequited crush, while Ellie is Rayde's unofficial rival because Ruby still likes Ellie.

Nickname: Dusty

Pokemon: Flygon

Gender: Male

Personality: Dusty is a little weird. He describes this as being a "creative spirit," however. Usually very upbeat, Dusty enjoys flapping his wings to hear the resulting music, and he is almost as honest as Sammi. He chooses to say what he means in riddles, though. The Flygon is a very strong flier, a skill in which he takes pride due to his miserable past as a ground-dweller. He is small for a Flygon (6'1") since he evolved so quickly. Dusty is best friends with Skull and Sammi.

History: Dusty was originally caught by one of Lissa's friends from Hearthome City. Lissa's friend traveled to Hoenn and caught Dusty as a Trapinch over there. However, frustrated at Dusty's speed and strength (or lack thereof), he video chatted with Lissa and begged her to trade with him. In exchange, Lissa traded her Starly for his Trapinch.

Lissa also quickly became frustrated at Dusty's battling inabilities, but she kept at it and trained him extensively. Eventually, Dusty's desire to impress his trainer fueled his premature evolution into a Vibrava. Upon this, he received much more affection and respect from her. Lissa has since apologized for her narrow-minded attitude, and Dusty is now a valued part of her team.

Nickname: Originally Rascal; later shortened to Skull by her request

Pokemon: Froslass

Gender: Female

Personality: Skull's original name sums it all up. She is snarky and wily, like most Ghost Pokemon, and looks at the Ellie-Ruby-Rayde triangle with amusement. Skull is best friends with Dusty and Sammi and enjoys reminding Dusty that size doesn't matter when compared with type, because she can still bring him down with a well-placed Ice Beam if she feels like it. Those to whom she is close--and unfortunately, not many can say this--will find in Skull a fiercely loyal friend in serious situations. In other situations...well. That's a different story.

History: Lissa met Skull on Route 217. By then, the rest of her team had been created, and they were looking for a sixth member. Anyway, when night came, Lissa asked Ruby to guard their food supplies from the wild Pokemon, but he was being a teenager and declined, so instead Sammi was chosen.

As it turned out, she was right to cautious. Skull was roaming the area, and she smelled food. Of course, she tried to steal it, but Sammi blasted her with Bubblebeam. Skull retaliated with a Crunch. By this time, the racket woke everyone up. To stop Skull from being a further annoyance, a grumpy, thoroughly sleep-deprived Lissa threw an Ultra Ball at Skull and caught her.

Skull was a cunning Snorunt, however, and made Lissa's life miserable for the first few days. One day, however, when she saw the girl win a battle, she changed her mind and behaved herself better. Today, she is a much easier Pokemon with which to interact, although she's still the sassiest Pokemon on the team. She is well-known for being "in it for the lulz," a term that she coined after reading something on the Internet that Lissa was browsing.

Previous

Spoiler:

Nickname: Sword

Pokemon: Starly

Gender: Male

Personality: Not much is known about Sword due to the fact that he was traded before Lissa could really get to know him. However, what she does remember of him is the fact that he was a very sweet Pokemon that was afraid of evolution, a great fighter, and male.

History: Lissa caught Sword on her way to Jubilife City. However, while video chatting with her friend Charlie one day, he asked her to trade Pokemon with him. Reluctantly, she traded Sword for Dusty, his Trapinch.

Later, Lissa checked up on Charlie and Sword, and both looked very happy. Apparently, Charlie had cured Sword's fear of evolution, since he had become a strong-looking Staravia.

Your Gym of Choice (first come, first serve!) : Rainbow Gym

Sample post (must be at least 2-4 paragraphs, with 3-5 sentences a piece!) :

Spoiler:

"Rainbow Town."

She had received the call twenty-four hours ago, but she still couldn't get used to the name of her new home. Maybe if she said it enough times...

"Rainbow Town Rainbow Town Rainbow Town." The girl paused and sighed, head drooping. "You know, I think it actually sounds worse now." Nevertheless, as she stood and left the room, she continued to thread the words together until they sounded like an awful song made up of two awful words.

Out in the yard, her Pokemon were playing. They looked at their trainer with a multitude of expressions as she trudged toward them, singing her song; however, confusion, amusement, and boredom were the most dominant.

"What's with the awful song, Lissa?" said the Roserade after the girl had plopped down in front of them on the grass, still chanting her mantra.

Pausing mid-word, Lissa flashed a wry grin at the petite green Pokemon. "Funny, Rayde, those are the words that I used to describe it," she replied. "As for why I'm singing this song..." She chewed on her tongue and ran her hands through her hair.

"Great, we all know what that means," a Ninetales muttered with a scowl. The others exchanged wary looks. Indeed, they did know what Lissa's tongue-chewing and hair-combing signified: a nervous Lissa.

"That's exactly what would brighten up our day right now," agreed the Froslass floating over the pool. The water around her body had frozen, but she didn't seem to be aware of it. "Let me guess--you found out what lovely city we're leaving home for."

Although Lissa stopped gnawing her tongue to death, her hand continued to act as a hairbrush. "Oh, come on, Skull, don't think of it that way," she reprimanded, but her voice lacked enthusiasm. "It's our new...home." Her Espeon did not miss the shudder, albeit a nearly inperceptible one, that rippled through her body. Narrowing her dark eyes, the purple cat reached out into Lissa's mind--and let out an abrupt mew of horror.

"Rainbow Town?" she squeaked.

"I told you not to do that, Ellie," snapped Lissa, but nobody was listening. They were all too horrorstruck.

"Rainbow Town?" the Ninetales repeated. All nine of his sleek golden tails were lashing in the air as he growled, "There must be a mistake. I can't--I can't live somewhere with such a frivolous name! I just can't!"

"Oh, spare us, drama queen," Rayde said, rolling her haughty red eyes. "But I have to say, I agree with Ruby. What is wrong with the people who named the town? Were they high or something?"

Lissa opened her mouth to admonish Rayde, but Ellie interrupted before the words were even formed on her tongue. "Yeah, honestly! Who in their right mind would want to live in a place called Rainbow Town?"

"I would."

All heads--even Lissa's head of straight red hair--whipped around to stare at the speaker. It was Dusty, of course. Creating a faint melody as he flapped in the air, the small Flygon looked back at the others. "I think it's a unique name," he said. Or, rather, hummed; a Flygon didn't actually say its words so much as it buzzed them.

"Of course you would. You're Dusty," Rayde retorted, rather rudely.

"Oi!" Skull gave Rayde that...look of hers, the one that was so scary that even Rayde shrunk back slightly. When Lissa cringed away as well, she felt stupid: she had been Skull's trainer for a long time and the glare wasn't even aimed toward her, but those yellow-ringed, ice blue irises still intimidated her. "Back off, Rayde. And I happen to agree with Dusty: it's...okay, it's not an ideal name, but it's interesting, all right. Definitely interesting."

Dusty blinked at his friend. "Good interesting or bad interesting?" Suddenly, the Froslass seemed to have ice clogging her ears.

"Rainbow Town," Sammi the Lanturn echoed from his position in the pool. "You might as well give us peace necklaces and tie-dyed shirts and call us hippies. Oh, and the long wigs too."

As the other Pokemon snickered, Lissa had to bit the inside of her right cheek to keep herself from joining in. "Hey," she said feebly. "Hippies are good people. You should respect them."

Skull smirked. "Really."

"Yeh--okay, I'm not really that excited about moving to Rainbow Town." The redhead gave up, shrugging and shifting her position on the green patch of grass. Her urge to laugh had vanished. "I won't lie and say that its name doesn't...bug me. But what can I do about it now? It's not like we have anything to do here or anyone to see." None of them missed the bitter undertone that accompanied the last three words. "And even if we did, what do you want me to do? Call that dude back and say, 'Oh no, sorry, I changed my mind, Rainbow Town sounds like a hippie resort?' Seriously, guys, be mature. We're going, and that's that."

Silence followed her rant. Until it was broken by Rayde.

"Okay, I know that we're going and all and there's nothing we can do about the name." The leafy creature hesitated, eyes flickering with uncertainty as she looked at Lissa and then Skull. "But seriously, Sammi is right. The place sounds like Hippieland."

A humorless smile tugged at the edges of Lissa's face. "I won't argue that. But, I mean, you guys ought to respect hippies."

"Even though you don't?" muttered Ruby.

"They're nice people who stand up for their beliefs," Lissa continued, undeterred by Ruby's interruption. "In fact, you should all try to be as cool as hippies." And with those wise parting words, Lissa pushed herself off the ground and ambled toward the house in search of a book, humming under her breath, "Rainbow Town, Rainbow Town, Rainbow Town..."

Bleh. It still sounded awful.

Rainbow Town, The City of Happiness

"Home is where the heart is." While this is not technically true for Rainbow Town, it nevertheless is very peaceful and homey. The town itself is quite small, actually, but that only contributes to the cheerful, cozy feel of the place since everyone knows everyone else. Unfortunately, this also means that everyone knows everyone else's business--but hey, they're all friends, so it's all right.

Rainbow Town is located on the northwest coastline of Erientanto Island. Thick forests border Rainbow Town to the west, while a sheer stone cliff is about six miles to the north. In the east, Rainbow Town is very close to a beach that is a five minute walk away. In the south, more forests blanket the land, but most of these trees are saplings. It is suspected that the southern forest was once as large and lush as its western cousin, but something happened a while ago that caused the trees to die. The new saplings seem quite healthy, but residents of Rainbow Town check on it periodically anyway.

One main road, a trampled-down dirt trail, stretches out in a winding path. All the houses are built on the sides of this path, so officially speaking, everyone is neighbors. The houses themselves are all varied, like the characters who live in them: some prefer simple, Spartan settings while others are large and cluttered with luxuries.

Colorful flowers bloom everywhere in Rainbow Town, allowing it to truly live up to its name. Many of the folks dwelling there are very connected with nature and plant plant plant. As a result, Rainbow Town is covered in flora that blooms especially well, what with the sunshine that always smiles upon Rainbow Town and the TLC given by the town's inhabitants.

People come in to visit this picturesque oceanside town to see the amazing scenery and experience the aura of happiness that other tourists have raved about feeling. However, not nearly enough people visit every year, so a gym leader has been hired in order to draw in more tourists.

Points of Interest

Rainbow Park: Covered in lovely flowers that take great pictures, Rainbow Park is located to the west of Rainbow Town and sprawls out into the woods. Its benches cause it to be a popular hangout spot for teens, but its other features make it a great place for a family to frequent, too. A vegetable and fruit patch grows in the center of the park: much of the town receives their supply of food from this one incredibly fertile and well cared-for spot. Small hills provide entertainment for children, who love rolling down them. Every Saturday, contests of all sorts are held here, some involving Pokemon trainers and some including everyone.

Cuisine à laRainbow: Cuisine à la Rainbow is one of Rainbow Town's most popular restaurants. A minute's stroll from the beach, its seafood and service is praised by enthusiastic beach-goers. Plus, who wouldn't love the amazing view of the ocean?

Shannon's Shop: Shannon's Shop is an alternative to Cuisine à la Rainbow for those who don't wish to walk so far. This home-run business is a jack-of-all-trades: people can buy home-made meals, books, medicinal herbs, and little necessities like toothpaste (it's surprising, how many people forget it), or they can just hang out with Shannon Wilson, the owner of the store, and hear the latest, juiciest gossip. Shannon even offers a bed for the night for those who cannot pay Hotel Arcabaleno's rent.

Hotel Arcabaleno: A large, lofty building by Cuisine à la Rainbow, Hotel Arcabaleno is a fancy resort for those tourists who come to Rainbow Hotel. It caused a major controversy when it was built, as there were some who believed that such a large hotel would detract from the calm and simplicity of Rainbow Town. Nevertheless, it was built, and many still pay the fees to rent a room for the night (though they later regret spending such a substantial amount of money).

Arcabaleno Research Facility: Arcabaleno Research Facility is owned by the owner of Hotel Arcabaleno, hence the similar names. It is located beside the aforementioned hotel and very high-tech. The scientists there work 24/7 to learn more about Pokemon. Sometimes they ask Pokemon trainers to battle, and they observe and record the battles for later study.

Crescent Beach: The main reason why most travel to Rainbow Town, Crescent Beach is one of the most breathtaking sights on the island. The golden sand, sunny weather, rippling waves of turquoise seawater, and curious, playful sea-inhabiting Pokemon invite everyone at least take a peek--and it soon turns into a stare that rolls on for hours. It is also a hot spot for the residents of Rainbow Town.

Rainbow Gym: Rainbow Gym is a new addition to Rainbow Town. There is not actually a gym building in which the battles take place; rather, the gym leader will battle the challengers on the beach. The trainers who want to challenge the leader must first visit the leader's house, where they will then be led to the beach to stage the gym battle.

Don't get me wrong. I do love Rainbow Town. :] And Lissa and the others will learn to love it too. In time. xPP

Feel free to add anything in~ :J

 

[EeveeEvolutionChain.]

Very nice SU, fawny. You're accepted.

Everyone, Sign-Ups are officially CLOSED.

 

[Charizard_Man]

So does that mean this roleplay can start now? :3

 

[EeveeEvolutionChain.]

Erm, not yet. Some things still need to be finished.

And I prefer to wait for the OOC to get up, which will hopefully be tomorrow, and then everyone will need to go there to discuss a posting order. Because with eight different people, it is very, very, VERY crucial to have one.

 

[EeveeEvolutionChain.]

Alright everyone, here's the deal. Alter Ego still hasn't been online to approve the OOC, and I'm still not sure that it will even be approved. So, to save more time and not scare you off, I'll post the posting order here. I know I told you all that I would allow your input, but it is my concern that it would take far too long for everyone to agree, or for people to get on and actually tell me what part of the order they want to be. So I'm sorry if it offends anyone (I truly am), but this is the posting order.

1- EeveeEvolutionChain.
2- Wolf in the Rain
3- collie
4- Charizard_Man
5- rockshock28
6- fawny
7- Tachiba
8- Calder

Note: I know it may cause some controversy, but I decided to have Tachiba and Calder post last, due to their being the lone evil characters. I wanted to have all the characters grouped together, so as to not read 4 "good" character's post, and then a evil one, then good, and vice versa. It would be a little confusing, don't you think? No disrespect is meant to anyone, and I hope that the posting order works for everyone.

Thank you all for joining and making my first roleplay a success (possibly). I'll be posting the starting post sometime soon, and if not soon, then later on tonight.

 

[Wolf in the Rain]

Sounds Good. Can't wait! :3

(Sorry, Would've posted earlier, but PC had a Data error for me -.-')

 

[rockshock28]

Awesome. So, what exactly is going on in our first post? Are we battling trainers, or meeting each other, or something else?

 

[Calder]

I updated my post, but the site closed and didn't save the history and such so whatever...

Ever Sinnoh Trainer Like That?
The Beginning.

"Do you really have to go? Ky-Ky... Do you really, really, have to?"

Kyler looked at the faces of his friends, drooping with sadness, and sighed. No... No, he didn't really "have" to go. He just wanted to. Seven times, the Hoenn champion, seven times the greatness of his region. And he wanted more. Which, was why he wanted to go. Seven Hoenn Championships... Nice, but just not enough. Why? Because he had to push himself, he had to be better. Not "the best"... Just better. The Hoenn Championships had been fun, A LOT OF FUN! Just... Yeah. Not enough to make him happy; pleased. He was addicted to the feeling of higher power, and he was addicted to wanting more. That was what made his friends so upset, and his father so angry. They would never understand, though... Never. They hadn't took on the Hoenn Championships, they hadn't felt his happiness... And they also didn't feel his feelings of being a cheater.

"Yes you guys, I do. I've needed a new challenge for so long, and I've always wondered what it would be like to be a gym leader... I need this. I want this! Please... Try to understand?"

There were a few more scoffs from around the group, mostly from the guys, and a few more tears shed by the girls. Friends could be so cruel... Especially his! They could support him when he made his trip through Hoenn, and they had accepted the fact that he wanted to take a trip to Snow Point City and Eterna Forest in Sinnoh, but they couldn't accept him moving to a distant island, to better himself? Harsh.

His father was even worse. Kyler had always been daddies' little boy, and he had always been around for his father when he said that he needed him. And his father relied on that. Hideki, Kyler's father, had raised Kyler from his youngest days to be a pokemon trainer; to be superhuman. He had saw so much of his former self inside of Kyler, in the way that he was raising his pokemon, and the way he carried himself into battle. And Kyler knew that, and adored it, but not the attention. No... It had caused some problems when Kyler had left for his badge quest in Hoenn, and it had only got worse for him when he left for Sinnoh. Now? With the new quest to a new place, which was even further... Hideki had been less than supportive.

"Kyler... I'm sorry, but I don't see the point in this! You've reached the top of Hoenn, you've represented Sootopolis City the best that you can... WHY! Why must you be so power hungry?"

"You'll never understand, dad. I'm not power hungry... I want to better myself! You are talking to me like you did mom, when she was alive... I'm not a dog! And she wasn't, either. If you can't support me, or my dreams... Then there is really nothing I can say, dad. I'm sorry... I'm still going."

Those had been the last words the two had exchanged. Kyler had gave his father a "manly" hug before he left, but that was all that it was. Nothing less, nothing more. His friends? A different story! Although the "dudes" hadn't did a lot of hugging, they weren't short of talking. Negotiating deals to catch pokemon for them, to send them all back to Hoenn for them was all they really cared for. Maybe he'd do it. Maybe. The girls though... Were typical girls. Clinging, pouting, crying... Kyler had a good mind to have Vaporeon spray them down with a good ole' Hydro Pump. Luckily for them, the boat that had been sent for him arrived just as he was about to send Vaporeon out.

"I love you guys... I promise to write home. Keep an eye on my dad..."
___________________________________________________________

The boat ride had been interesting, to say the least. He had called out all of his pokemon for the ride over, not wanting them to miss the view of the beautiful waters, even if they were zooming right past them. Vaporeon and Glaceon especially liked the idea, nearly bounding over the side of the boat just trying to get a glimpse of the water and the pokemon that were swimming beneath. Flareon though, as well as Jolteon, weren't so comfortable. A constant hissing noise coming out of the back of Flareon's throat, and it was negotiated that Flareon and Jolteon could go sit in with the pilot. Leafeon? Espeon? Eh... They were down with whatever. Leafeon was too busy licking himself clean, and Espeon too busy sleeping on the chair closest to his trainer to really care. Life was good, great even...

Until they reached shore of Erientanto.

It was far too apparent that this side of the island had just been "colonized", with a rather large amount of bushes and palm trees bounding forward towards the boat. Still... It had a bit of a homely feel to it. Even Espeon, who slept all the time, was excited to get off the boat. Sprinting far ahead of Kyler, running for the forest that seemed to be looming ahead, it took a swift throw of Espeon's pokeball to recapture the overly-excited pokemon.

"Espeon! Sheesh! I never thought you would be the one to do this... Why are you so difficult all of a sudden? Vaporeon, Glaceon, Flareon, Leafeon... Crew! Let's go! We have a l- Whoah..."

Just as the rest of his pokemon joined his side, Kyler finally saw the limousine that was waiting on he and his pokemon. Looking back to the captain of the boat he had rode in on, he got an approving smile and walked his way over to the door. Hesitantly, slowly, reaching for the door... It opened itself! Out bounced a spunky Umbreon, one that he recognized... Recognized all too well. Who's was he? What was he doing in the back of Kyler's limousine? The little booger... How dare he!

"Umbreon!"

"Umbreon...? UMBREON! How did you get here?! You're not supposed to here...! I'm happy to see you, but I left you in Sinnoh... I know I left you in Sinnoh! How on earth did you get here? Did I... Did you... I'm still lost! Umbreon, I need answers. I know you can't give them to me, though, so find someone who can! Or else you are in quite a bit of trouble, mister!"

"My apologies, sir. Professor Rowan of Sinnoh sent him to the Pokemon Center in Foamleaf, said that he heard you were moving here. That, and that your Umbreon has grown quite restless of all the hours it's been since he's seen you. I apologize for the inconvenience sir, but he beat me to the car... I was going to have him wait back at the estate for you, but he wouldn't let me in the car if he couldn't come. He's... A very smart pokemon."

No longer shocked by the site of his Umbreon, Kyler turned his focus now to the man that had spoken to him. He was well-built, elderly, most likely around the age of fifty. His suit was pressed to a tee, his driver's cap well adjusted atop his head. He seemed to be a decent man... One that Kyler could trust to drive him safely to... Where was it he had said, Foamleaf? Yep. Giving the man a swift handshake, he stared down at Umbreon once more, and then to the others. They looked so star struck... So happy to be here. Vaporeon especially, who had been almost as hungry as Kyler for a new adventure.

"Everyone, in the car. It's not a long ride from here, I presume? No fighting, no biting... None of the stuff you do at home, with granddad. This isn't our car! So... Erm, yeah. Any biting, any fighting... Any more sneaking around! And you'll be put back in a pokeball for the rest of the ride, and possibly until we get settled in at the Gym. Got it???"

There was no answer, only nods from the six (seven if you include Kyler's renegade pokemon) friends of Kyler.

"Alright then. Let's go!"
_______________________

The car ride to Foamleaf took an even shorter amount of time than the boat over. The road was traced with palm trees, followed soon by evergreen's. Wild pokemon could be seen jumping out and about as well, although nothing that he hadn't seen before. His friends probably wouldn't be too pleased with that, but oh well. This trip was for him, was about HIM. Not them. He was going to be far too busy with being a guy leader for that, anyways. They would understand, right? Sure they would... They were his "friends". They had said they were going to be understanding...

"We are here, sir. Welcome to Foamleaf Estates, your new home, and home to Foamleaf Gym."

Okay so he might have fallen asleep the last few minutes of the ride! Who cares? He was here now, and that was all that mattered. That, and exploring his "estate". He had never had an estate before... Never had something so beautiful. Just the front lawn was breathtaking, it's elegant and well-cut grass popping out at the eyes of any of looked at it. AND THE FOUNTAIN! I don't even need to tell you about the fountain, because Vaporeon and Glaceon has already made the wonder of water their new play place. Again Flareon and Jolteon strayed away from the water, accompanying Kyler past the front entrance of the house, and around back to the Gym. The house itself appeared to be a good four stories, but the gym almost seemed to be five. It towered high into the sky, built out of the finest stones, the lone balcony at the top right built of the finest woods.

"Wow... Just wow... Look at our new homes, you guys. It's... Beautiful."

"Jolt!"

"Flareon!"

The inside was even better, if that is possible. Swinging the wide, wooden doors open, Kyler nearly lost his breath. The first floor of the Gym was covered in it's entirety by water, one stone pathway branching off into two more, one to the right, and one to the left, leading to the trainer's podiums. Straight ahead the path lead to a hallway, which then revealed an elevator. An elevator? Oh, right! There was still four more floors to go. And unfortunately for Kyler, Jolteon and Flareon were all too ready to explore, hungry no doubt to get away from the water.

"I know, I know you guys... We're going! What else could this gym possibly hold for us?"

Much, much more...

[Alright. Your posts don't have to be nearly as long as mine! I just felt I lacked a little in my own SU, and like I hadn't explained as much. Also, you can use this to see what I expect of your first post.

Calder- I'm sorry to hear that! You can't be held at fault for that, though, so don't worry about that. At least you got your team of pokemon posted!

From now on everyone, unless you are posting, all questions/concerns are to go to the OOC. It is now approved, so defer everything to the OOC. Thanks so much, and Happy Posting!]

[Wolf in the Rain]

(OOC: Sorry it took so long, guys.... but here it is! :3)

"Damn..." It seemed to be the only thing Chris could think to say while gaping at his new home. Although he couldn't see them, the trainer had to guess Rayne and Sakura wore the same expression. Located atop of a hill overlooking the town and the ruins, the gym was easily unlike anything he had ever seen. Bigger than Claire's den, more detailed than the Battle Pyramid, more energizing than Lt. Surge's gym, and yet still having the feel of Monty's gym in Erutek or Erika's garden one in Celadon; the gym was incredible. He thought the town was amazing, even more so the ruins... But this just left Chris speechless.

Stuck in a state of disbelief, Chris entered the building. Almost immediately, Rayne leaped off of his shoulder, sprinting around his new home. Although, Sakura, still perched on his other shoulder, let out a sigh, Chris couldn't help but grin.

On the inside, the gym was just as impressive. In addition to a retractable roof, the building also held stadium seating, and after the reception the townspeople had given him, Chris knew why. These people were obviously itching for a leader of their own, a symbol they were recognized as a major, important city. Hell, when Chris entered the streets of the town, he was immediately swarmed by people, all asking what Pokemon he owned or what his strategy was. It took the police just to get him out of the town! Immediately after, however, he was brought to the ruins by the officers, getting a full tour of the ancient city; maybe it was just a kind gesture or a way to keep him here, but it was still neat either way. Hell, they even said that he could use the ancient stadium for training and battle!

However, was the battlefield in the gym one seemed to be interchangeable, similar to the ones in the Indigo Plateau. Suddenly, the earth below Chris began to shift, leaving him struggling to keep balance, but answering his question. Diving off to the side, Chris watched as the field changed, a small pond forming in the middle where the circle usually was. Slowly, he got up and walked to the center of the field, peering into the pond that formed.

"I thought you might like it. It has 50 different presets as well as 20 custom slots for your preference."

Chris turned to see a woman, about the same age as himself, giggling in the doorway. Like everything else he had seen so far, the girl was stunning. Shining brown hair to her shoulders, pristine blue eyes, and a cute look on her face, she stood in the doorway in a black and white "maid's" outfit, cradling, of all things, Rayne in her arms.

"I found your Pokémon running around. Little curious. He's the one that gave you a scare." She giggled, giving the Totodile a quick scratch under the chin. Meanwhile, Sakura, still situated on Chris' shoulder, let out a low growl and glowered at the woman, although Chris couldn't fathom what about.

The girl seemed to be momentarily lost in thought petting the Pokemon. All of a sudden, she snapped back into reality. "Oh! I almost forgot." she propped herself up and gave Chris a smile. "My name's Lily. I'll be your maid from now on. If you need anything, give me a call. m'kay?"

"Y-Yeah." Chris stammered out, still gazing at Lily as she let Rayne down. She exited as silently as she arrived, leaving behind Chris and his Pokémon. All Chris could do was stare as she disappeared down the hall. This place was amazing.
