[PKMN FULL] In a League of their own [OOC/SU]

[Pterosauria]

IN A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN

a positively electrifying pokémon journey

HOENN IS A REGION IN CHAOS

After the raging storm caused by the vicious struggle between the Sea Basin pokémon, Kyogre, and the Continent pokémon, Groudon ended, quelled by Rayquaza, the Sky High pokémon, Hoenn was left in ruins: Littleroot was levelled, Oldale was obliterated, Petalburg was in pieces, and so much more. With the gyms smashed (they had been targeted by the team Aqua and Magma grunts, in order to prevent the Leaders and their trainers from meddling with their plans), the Pokémon League could no longer function in the Hoenn region. Indeed, even the starter pokémon were withheld for beginning trainers.

Indeed, for more than ten years, the Hoenn region ceased to be a viable place for pokémon training - almost no new trainers came in, and almost all of the existing ones went elsewhere (those who weren't helping with the rebuilding of the region, anyway). indeed, the wild places of the region, once kept in order by roaming trainers, became wild and untamed.

Even after the rebuilding - even after new gyms were built, and stocked with leaders and trainers, even after the towns were revitalised, the Hoenn region had trouble attracting the attentions of trainers again: it had been a long time since anybody had been there for any kind of pokémon battling purposes. Not many people returned, even after the reinstatement of the Pokémon League.

So, with the entire region suffering with the lack of trainers (the pokémon battling scene, after all, had been one of its biggest money-gathering ventures), a new model for the league was proposed, by one Arcturius Wynter, a wealthy businessman, who just so happened to be the eighth Gym Leader of Hoenn.

His business model was... Different, that was sure - Instead of just any trainers showing up to challenge the league, a batch of trainers was found, and they'd be accompanied in a televised journey, to collect all of the badges of Hoenn.

Of course, the battles were somewhat spiced up for the audience - Shock collars and special rules certainly made sure of that.

THE CENTER OF A WORLDWIDE PLOT

Now, where does this leave you? Well, you are a trainer, perhaps hailing from Hoenn, or perhaps someplace else - You entered a lottery drawing, or won some kind of competition, or you volunteered, and received a letter informing you of your acceptance into the new Hoenn League. Said letter contained very few details, but did give you a date and a time - It provided no information on what that entailed: simply a stock congratulations, a date, and a time.

And when that time rolled around? They took you from wherever you were, and got you properly acquainted with both the other trainers, your own personal set of shock collars and bracers, and the vague, but terrifying punishments that await, should you lose in this competition.

The risks of the game are great, that much is certain, but the rewards? Well, rumours have it that if you win all eight Hoenn League badges, you're granted audience with a mythical pokémon...

AND THE BACKDROP FOR A WONDERFUL ADVENTURE

So, this is one of those journey roleplay things - the basic plot is that you'll travel through Hoenn, and try to defeat all eight gym leaders. Of course, this isn't just any run-of-the-mill journey RP - in this one, your characters have all been kidnapped, collared, and forced to participate in a reality TV show documenting their journey - and if they lose a battle, a grisly death awaits.

But let's not get bogged down in all the doom and gloom! The good news is that if you can survive all the way to the end, you'll be awarded a wonderful prize! Some people even say that you'll get to see, and even try to catch, a mythical pokémon!

The way who lives and who dies is quite simple: it's done via a point system - at the start of each Gym, you get rolled up a base digit (kept secret, of course), and everyone can vote (publicly) to add 1 point from another player, and subtract 1 point from another player, although you cannot vote for yourself. Additional points are awarded for pokémon defeated in battle, and such other things. The character with the lowest point total after the Gym Leader is defeated is dragged off to be executed.

At the end of the thread, the executions will be posted up for everybody to see.

After the Gym is defeated, everybody who survived will be sent off to the next area, to prepare for the next Gym. You can't backtrack to areas that you've already been to after defeating that area's gym. In addition, when there is a choice of where to go, everybody must agree on doing one thing: the camera crew can't film in two places at once, after all (and we're too cheap to hire more camera crews).

There are no real restrictions on characters, but you should try to appreciate what you're getting them into.

In addition, you should note that IC Actions = IC Consequences, including death outside of gym challenges. I won't stop your characters from trying to escape their situation, or challenge the system, but I'm not going to take it easy on them, either.

A FEW FORMALITIES

• All PC rules and guidelines apply
• Your characters are likely to die in this roleplay - seven out of eight of them will, in fact. If and when this occurs, you may either bow out gracefully, or take on a minor character (a trainer, shop-owner, etc) - I'd like to know what you want to do, though, so shoot me a message if you want to continue after your character is out of the runnings.
• If it isn't in your inventory, you don't have it.
• You can have up to three pokémon to start - you may have any (not fully evolved) pokémon you like, except legendaries.
• Pokemon have access to any move they can learn (except by TM/HM). However, you can only use four moves per Gym. You may change one move after each Gym.
• Pokemon have access to all abilities, hidden or otherwise, that their species has access to. You may activate one ability per battle.
• Pokémon are not defeated when they faint - Pokémon are defeated when they die.
• This roleplay is rated M (Violence, Gore, etc)

Places, gentlemen! That is to say, I'm definitely interested, I say as if I've never seen this before.

I'll likely use a character from Orre, should that be okay.

 

[IggyKoopa]

Name: Alexandria Dragic
Appearance: Alex gives off some eerie vibes. Her height of 5'7" isn't too intimidating, but she has inky black hair that covers one of her eyes contrasted by her pale skin (which she expects to gain quite a bit of color over the course of the journey), and contact lenses that make her previously-brown eyes red. Her clothing consists of a black tank top (she's not used to the warmth of the Hoenn region after living in the cold for all her life), dark gray cargo pants, and a dark red hoodie tied around her waist.

Personality: Alexandria's personality, when coupled with her appearance, can be described as anything ranging from "creepy" to "really ****ing creepy." She almost always appears cool, collected, and calculating, as if she were treating life like a game of chess. She usually speaks in an icy-cold voice, but it quickly gets sharper as her voice is raised.

In battle, she can be particularly vicious, not appearing to give a damn what happens to the opposing trainer or Pokémon at her hand. She gets enthusiastic, too, loving the prospect of beating the crap out of another Pokémon to an almost scary degree.

However, she can't stand to be in a crowded or noisy place, and will try her best to get out of any situation involving one.

Of course, this is all a played-up version of her personality for television; off-camera, her regular personality is like this but a lot more subtle and more normal. This is just for fun, as she wants to see how exaggerated she can make herself and have people believe her.

History: Born and raised in Snowpoint City in the Sinnoh region, Alexandria is the only child of an upper-middle-class family. Her father spent his time at a research station at the northern cape of the region, and as Alex grew older, her mother found more "important" things to do than take care of her (i.e. trying to salvage her social life from before she had a child and generally convince herself that she was younger). Thus, as a teenager, she had a lot of time to herself, and she used that time to simply shut herself in. Shortly afterwards, the internet became her main source of social interaction and she became extremely introverted in person. She did try Pokémon training at one point recently - and her trainer ID hasn't yet expired - but she stayed local, never leaving her hometown.

[Pterosauria]

 

[Plumbum]

Name: Elias Akurus
Gender: M
Appearance: Elias is a rather short and unintimidating type - only barely topping five feet tall, whilst his spiked black hair and wide brown eyes only aid his stature in creating a boyish look. He is usually wearing the traditional Orre style - simple, but practical rags that offer protection from the region's desert heat and sand.
Personality: Elias comes forth as a very charming and polite kid, even a friendly person to be around, if a bit beyond his years - but it all hides his scheming and conniving real self. Elias has been taught from an early age, that if he sees something he would like, he has to reach out and seize it by any necessary means and that is exactly what he will do. He never showed any regard for what little law Orre tried to lay down, nor did he concern for who he hurt to get at what he wanted.
History: Elias was not treated to the most blessed starts of life: A father who abandoned his mother before he was born and said mother dying from a complication in childbirth, Elias was without parents from the very start of his life - dangerous enough anywhere but doubly so in Orre, although as fortune would have it, he was taken in by another couple willing to take him. Unlike many in this kind of situation, Elias came to love and respect his new foster parents, doting over them as much as they did him. However, he did not know the truth about them until he was twelve.

His foster parents tried to protect him from how they earned their living, but it was impossible to keep Elias from the truth forever - they were professional Snaggers. Using blueprints stolen from Team Snagem before the organisation crumbled, they produced their own Snag Machines and were stealing pokémon to order - many will pay top pokédollar for a perfect specimen of a mon rather than the grot that can be collected from the wild.

Against his parents expectations, Elias did not reject this career of theirs, instead embracing it with both arms. He almost demanded that they produce him his own Snag Machine - as he had his own pokémon, his Poochyena and his Kirlia, he could join them straight away, taking to it like a Golduck to water. Happily snagging for the last two years, Elias built himself a reputation as a reliable Snagger who could capture anything to order - for the right price, but something had his attention, a quarry that he wouldn't often find a chance to challenge.

There were lotteries around for entrance to the reimagined and... different Hoenn League. Normally, he'd dismiss such a challenge as pointless chest-thumping for idiots with egos larger than their brains, but there were rumors floating around that anyone who could be the survivor of their group would meet a mystical pokémon in the flesh. Elias entered and on return within a couple days came an invitation. He turned up at the allocated meeting point; Pyrite Town square, unfazed by the challenge before him - this was where the thugs that came to kidnap him grabbed him, in broad daylight in the middle of town, but that's Pyrite for you. He struggled hard against his kidnappers, although he eventually lost and during the scuffle his Snag Machine was damaged - broken beyond any hope of repair without parts from Orre.

Done! Please review over it!
Part 1: The Trainer
Name: Herra Brennan
Gender: Female

Bio:

Spoiler:

As a girl originally from the humble town of Oldale, Herra had no worries in her mind; she had great childhood friends, a very jolly and amusing older brother Dave, and a dad that was truly responsible for Herra and her older brother. So so lately they've been all keeping up with the news ever since the first sightings of what later on is known as Team Aqua and Team Magma. What Herra remembered about the those times was that her dad talked to her uncle Winston from Slateport City about the recent crime activity. Dave and Herra would always spy on their phone conversations, even though they knew nothing.

One day on their spying games they realized their dad sounded different from the other times; by now it was just released that both Teams got their hands on the orbs. After he hung up, he caught his children spying on him and he sighed.

"I never thought that I would say this but it's time I train you kids. I won't always be there with you, and I asked the professor to grant me two of his pokemon for you each Dave and Herra."

Each of them shared an excited look with each other. Then their dad walked towards the living room and drew out two pokeballs from behind the television. He released them and out came a Torchic and a Mudkip. Before he even spoke a word, Dave ran to Mudkip and hugged him. Something inside of Herra sparked; resentment. She had a feeling a Torchic was a bad choice here. After that event, their dad spent months training them but something was changing about Herra; she became more distant from people, even her own family.

Then one day, after Dave beat Herra up again, his Mudkip went under evolution and evolved to a Marshtomp. This just made Herra work harder and harder for Torchic to grow stronger. But no matter what she did, Torchic would never evolve. Her dad tried giving her some talks but Herra put up with nothing at all. Finally, her dad's patience reached his peak when he saw Herra trying to give Torchic up to a passerby.

"Dad, even you know this Torchic is weak. Just look to how I lose to Dave every single time. The stats were right that this Torchic will never be good for me. The best thing I could do was give it up to a trainer who wants it, because I'm sick and tired of it."

Her dad just sighed and left her without saying another word. The next day, her uncle came to visit. It shocked Herra to see him there standing before her and greeting her. Then he smiled to Herra but quickly went towards her dad. After what seemed like forever talking to each other, her dad was bringing out suitcases. But these weren't just anyone's suitcases; it was Herra's. He looked down to his daughter as he shook hands with her uncle.

"I've decided it's best that you go live with your uncle and aunt in Slateport City for a while. If you want that Torchic to get stronger, training her there will make that chick strong."

"But what about Dave?"

Truth be told Herra wasn't going to miss this place one bit. Especially Dave, the brother who would always beat her in everything no matter how smart or logical she was. But there was still that tiny part of her that missed those days if playing.

"I'll tell him once he returns from hanging around with his friends. See you later sweetie."

With that, they left towards the route above them and crossed the lake on a boat, and soon they arrived at Slateport City. Afterwards, her aunt took her to the beaches to fight passerby trainers and sailors there too. Her uncle would force her to sit down and watch the news, keeping in update with Teams Aqua and Magma. But everyday, she would train the Torchic until she was literally too tired to get up. But no matter how many battles they won together, Torchic still wouldn't evolve. Her uncle noticed this and after a three day long journey with his Luxray, he came back with a pokeball in his hands and gave it to Herra.

"Maybe what you need is another pokemon. It would do better for you and Torchic."

Herra accepted the gift and when she summoned the pokemon, she was startled to see Tranpinch. At first he was just defiant but soon respected Herra for being smart and deadly. Then after a while of training, he learned some good moves too. And for some unknown reason, Torchic and Tranpinch worked really well in double battles. As Herra went asleep each night, she realized she could have a future now as a trainer. But one night as she was sleeping, a big boom woke her up.

There were screams everywhere and soon Herra's aunt came in and pulled Herra outside. Her uncle was waiting for them, and surprisingly her cousin Jason.

"You will not believe-"

A big boom interrupted what he said. Then the rain came down hard at first, but then quickly replaced by sunlight so bright it burned the skin. Then it switched back to water again and then to rain.

"Okay, this is beyond wrong. Rain and sunlight should not exist together. It shouldn't unless..."

Herra's words trailed off as thunder struck the local market. It was so powerful that it caused an earthquake and screams of women, children, and men were heard.

"We have no time!" Her uncle was yelling on top of his lungs as a fire attack sprayed across the street ahead of them. "Kyogre and Groudon have awaken! We must all escape! Jason, take Herra with you to your secret base. Me and Caroline will stay here and aid the others."

"But mom, dad..." Jason's protest were in vain because both shook their heads.

Herra quickly touched her waist and sighed in relief as she felt her waist belt. Her pokemon were safe. Thankfully she forgot to remove it before going to sleep. Without any feelings, Jason and Herra fled the city and head more north towards the cycling bridge. Then Jason took out his Greninja and both of them got on and headed to Mauville City. Then they headed east and surfed some more until both were at the other side. And then there was a hole in one of the rocks and both headed underground as the weather above them. So much running wore out Herra and she went out as a light.

When she woke up, she saw Jason with a horrified look.

"What happened Jason? Is it over?"

"It's more than over Herra. Look."

She gasped as she walked outside. What used to be ground and grass are all now landslides. She gulped as she thought about the cities and towns. Then she thought about her family in Oldale Town...

"Might as well head back to Slateport, right cus?"

She nodded to Jason as he summoned his Swellow and both flew off. As they flew above Mauville City, they both gasp in shock as they see how wrecked the whole place was, and the gym was no where in sight. As the passed the bridge, or whatever was left of the bridge, both were silent as they saw abandoned bicycles, and they only saw rubble of the Trickmaster's house. Then they were upon Slateport City and both couldn't hang in their as they saw the destruction beneath them. Both of them normally never cried but this time they wept together as they saw some motionless bodies. Everything they knew was gone.

"Should we go Jason?"

"But where to Herra?"

She thought about this in tears.

"Oldale."

He nodded as both rode on the pokemon to her hometown. Except that when they circled around the town, there was nothing. As they landed, Herra released more tears as she saw her hometown destroyed. Did anyone make it out...

"Excuse me folks."

The voice startled the two as the man emerged from the remains of where the center used to stand. But Herra recognize this man. He was the guy selling items at the mart. He recognized Herra too and his eyes were saddened.

"Did my..."

But she already knew the answer. Jason hugged her as the word dead echoed the ruins of this town.

"I never got to say goodbye to him..."

Memories of her brother Dave flooded her head. To think she once hated him... She let go of Jason and ran away towards where her house once stood. Then she got on her knees and sobbed some more. As tears slipped away, she saw something red. When she dug the rubble, it was a pokeball. She opened it and out came Marshtomp. After the heartbreaking reunion, Jason took Herra to live in the Kalos region and to leave Hoenn in the past. That was ten years ago. Now of age 18, she is forced to go back their. Back to Hoenn.

Personality:

Spoiler:

She's a pretty short tempered person and does not tolerate the naive at all. She's mostly not open to anyone; pokemon nor human. She's very logical and is a type of person to see the situation before acting out to it; she believes in ordinary acts of bravery secretly. She trusts no one and becoming her friend is mission impossible. Leave it to Herra to know weather or not you're deadly or just a show. Despite all this, Herra feels pretty lonely now and then, mainly because due to her antisocial behaviour.

She's not the world's greatest liars, but Herra won't share the truth unless it benefits her. You will most likely never know what she's thinking because of her antisocial personality. Also, she has been pretty envious of people that actually gets to spend time with their families or friends, but Herra won't show it. She's pretty claustrophobic and totally hates the idea of outdoor work. Yes she's your type of girl who loves being inside instead of other normal girls who are into fashion and all that stuff. She finds beauty vain and prefers to just stay inside and evaluate information as fast as she can. Most people say how weird she is, but if Herra cared what they said at all, she doesn't show it. Put a gun to her head and she won't care. Her sole moral is logic and dignity.

Appearance:

Spoiler:

She's pretty small actually, being only five feet tall. Her black hair and her hazel eyes makes her face look nice, but her hooked nose made that average. Her hair is pretty curly and she long ago gave up having it straight, so she'll always has it as a ponytail, with a bit of black hair that covers one eye in the front. Her eyelashes are fair, and she has a lean build along with narrow, long fingers. She usually throws on anything but she prefers a dark green shirt with jeans. Nothing too fashionable but Herra does this out of taste in color. She wears her pendant with one side being her friend and the other was of Cabbage.

She will be seen carrying at least one book in her hands, a pen that she draws from her head, and a notepad inside her left pocket. On the right side she has her smartphone and a pair of ear buds so she can listen to her music to. She puts on any pair of tennis shoes, but will most likely be seen in black ones. You can instantly tell Herra is irritated when her square jaw is set tight and squinting her eyes at you.

[The Canceler]

Name: Damian Walker

Gender: Male

Appearance: Damian has a typical teenage stature, albeit a bit on the skinnier side. His height is around five feet, five inches. His arms and legs, however, are relatively long compared to his upper body. He's a bit on the skinny side, but he's not in poor shape. Damian's straight hair is dark brown that shines very brightly in the light. He doesn't keep it in any distinct hairstyle; some would describe it as disheveled. His eyes are solid green, but always appear to be relaxed. The rest of his facial features are relatively normal.

Damian usually wears relaxed clothes: casual jeans/dark-colored pants and a blank white T-shirt with an unbuttoned button-down shirt over it.

Personality: Damian's close friends would describe Damian as a fairly open person who is easy to talk to. That being said, he doesn't have many close friends, and is generally described by other people as introverted.

In reality, Damian is a very astute observer of everything. He takes note of how people dress, talk, walk, and act. However, he doesn't understand "other people" as well as he understands his friends. He uses his observations to analyze people and formulate ideas of who they are. However, he's not always right about these observations. Often times when his analyses of other people are wrong, he ends up being confused and criticizes himself. Given this, he dislikes ambiguity wherever he may find it. Damian is just as aware of his surroundings. He pays close attention to scientific observations and discoveries, which, to him, are objective and factual descriptions of that which surrounds him.

History: Damian's parents are native to Hoenn; however, they moved to the Sinnoh region before Damian's mother became pregnant with him. Damian was born and grew up in Sunyshore City. As a young child, Damian was deeply fascinated with Pokemon, and studied them whenever he could. He kept a small journal of his juvenile observations, but he misplaced it years ago. When he was eight years old, Damian's father bought him a Poke Ball to catch his first Pokemon. With his father close behind, he ventured out into the wild surrounding Sunyshore City. He laid eyes on a friendly-looking Shinx, a Pokemon that he had observed a few times. Not seeing the Shinx belonging to a nearby pride, he carefully approached it and offered it to enter the Poke Ball. The Poke Ball failed to catch the Shinx, but it followed him home, where it became a sort of "personal pet" for Damian. (He would later formally catch it.) He named the Shinx "Volta."

Damian became interested in a lottery to enter the new and "improved" Hoenn League. Interested in exploring his roots, Damian entered the lottery and prepared by catching two more Pokemon with Volta: a Trapinch named "Myrm" and a Bronzor named "Mugen."

After winning the lottery, Damian did some digging around his house for stuff that he could bring with him, and found his old journal. He thought to himself that he probably wouldn't need it, but decided to take it anyway to remind him of home.

[Paskalso]

Name: Cedric Perlman
Gender: Male
Bio:

Spoiler:

Born in Hoenn 6 years before the destruction of the region, Cedric lived in Fortree City with his parents and older sister, Evette. His parents ran a local touring company, showing off the wonders of the city in the trees. During his parents work hours, he and Evette would run around and play in the city, usually racing through the trees and trying to surprise unsuspecting tourists, much to their parents disapproval.

When the battle between Team Aqua and Team Magma occurred, his parents took people and pokemon in, hiding them in some of the hard to reach places in the city. After the battle had been finished, his parents opened up a rehabilitation center for pokemon, and Cedric and his sister helped where they could. Since they were focused in Fortree, they naturally took in many bird and monkey pokemon since the region was best suited to them.

When he turned 12, his parents started to notice that he had a natural acclimation to the monkeys that were there, while Evette had a natural acclimation towards the birds. So, his parents started having them focus more on those respective types, and he grew more and more accustomed to being with them, to the point that he preferred to be outside with them at any possible time, even going so far as sleeping with them at night.

The next year, he caught his first pokemon, a chimchar that had been brought there and abandoned by a tourist. With this chimchar, who he named Hime, he started learning the joys, and dangers, of pokemon battling with. Through his battles he learned that you shouldn't or battle pokemon that are already injured, since that can only make them worse, and started rescuing pokemon from trainers who went after them, even if it meant injuring himself in the process. These actions became deep rooted in him, much to the point that he still does this today.

When he learned that the League would be reopening, he jumped at the chance to join, partially to battle new trainers, but mostly to make sure other pokemon out there were safe and being treated properly. He joined by volunteering at the local pokecenter, and shortly afterword was kidnapped in his sleep to be taken to where it would all begin..

Personality:

Spoiler:

His personality is similar to those of the monkey pokemon he grew up around, he is naturally curious of everything around him, and is really friendly to others. Since he's used to living in the trees of Hoen's Fortree City, he has learned a variety of ways to climb trees and now prefers to sleep in one whenever possible.

When it comes to other people, he jumps right into a conversation and has no problem accepting what anyone says as the truth, even if he knows its a lie, so long as it doesn't deal with harming any defenseless pokemon. The only time he has problems with other people is when they are trying to harm a weak and defenseless pokemon. He is without a doubt an outdoor person, and prefers the vast space outside to enclosed spaces in buildings. He's into tree and mountain climbing, swimming, and playing/training with his pokemon.

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Cedric stands at 5'10 with a fit body from all his mountain and tree climbing he does. He has bright green eyes and light brown hair that he has grown out to his shoulder blades that he keeps in a ponytail. He can be seen walking around smiling in a pair of black hiking shoes, brown walking trousers, and either a white short-sleeved shirt or a grey long-sleeved shirt. He also occasionally wears sunglasses when he's climbing so that he can see.

[Groc]

Now here's an interesting concept. Morbid and creepifying, but interesting!

Name: Percival "Percy" Princeton
Gender: Male

Appearance: In his mid-twenties, Percy keeps himself fit. At 5' 3", he may be a little short, but he's nimble and wiry. He keeps his red hair cut short, to keep it from getting too crazy, as it is naturally spiky. His eyes are dark sapphire blue, with slight wrinkles at the corners. His square jaw is kept clean shaven, save for a small soul patch, and he usually has a smile on his face. His clothes are practical and somewhat plain: black slacks, black sandals, and a brown coat. He does have some color, wearing blue shirts, a blue ball cap, and a red scarf tied around his waist.

Personality: Percy is constantly on the move, never able to stay still for very long. He's not overly hyper, but has near constant energy. He is friendly and talkative, yet rarely shares much about himself. He's learned to just go with the flow, and not get caught up in the details. He loves to travel and try new things, but has trouble settling down and connecting with people. He thinks that he's cool and charming, and tries to get others to lighten up and enjoy themselves. And though he starts things mainly on whim, he is very stubborn and dedicated, refusing to quit once he sets his mind on something.

History: Originally from Eterna City, Percy's father was a simple shopkeeper, managing the local herb shop. His mother was a D-list Contest star from Hearthome, and often took her family back there to watch her compete. As such, he got to learn a lot about Pokemon, and developed a flair for the dramatic. He one day found a Great Ball lying around in the road, and decided he should catch a Pokemon of his own. He waited until he was back home, wanting a Pokemon that was comfortable in his home area. Using food as bait, he attracted the attention of a Ponyta, a rare and elusive Fire-type. He got lucky with his Great Ball, and was soon the only boy in town with a pony. The other kids mocked him mercilessly, but he learned to ignore the haters.

Since he was in his early teens and had a Pokemon of his own, he decided to go out and tour the country, but held off on actually challenging the Gyms. He tried dividing his training between Contests and Battles, but he was only mediocre at both. After stowing away on a ship headed to Johto, he discovered the Pokethlon, and became moderately well known as an athlete. He eventually returned home, dividing his time between mundane life, and training Ponyta in all three fields of battle, contests, and athleticism.

He had never really thought about Hoenn all that much, until he found a strange egg that hatched into a Seviper. He did a little research on its home country, and entered the Hoenn League lottery as a joke, surprised when he actually won. Since Seviper had no interest in contests or sports, he figured at least the Gym challenge would help it relieve some aggression.

@Cabbage - Okay, well everything you have so far seems fine - I look forward to seeing the rest! :) Just noticed that you have four Pokémon - the maximum you can start out with is three. Also, Vibrava cannot learn Dragon Claw, and Dig and Fly are TM/HM moves. Marshtomp's Dig is also a TM/HM move.

@Raiu638 -

@Paskalso - Nothing wrong with what you have so far, it'll be good to see the rest of it when it's up.

@Godzil -

Ponyta's Sunny Day and Solar Beam are TM/HM taught moves, as is Seviper's Dig. Also, Seviper cannot learn Ice Fang.​

 

[Paskalso]

just a double check, any age above 12 for the characters right?

 

[Groc]

Sorry about that. In my defense, you never said no TM's. I have no excuse for Ice Fang other than spotty memory. My bad.

Can I just say those "Accepted/Pending" stamps look awesome?

 

[Pterosauria]

@Paskalso - There's technically no limit on ages here. That said, if you want a rule of thumb, anything above ten is good.

@Godzil - actually, yes I did. Fifth rule down.

And thank you - I tend to have this issue where people are like 'did you accept me?', so I made these. Fixes the problem rather well.

Anyway, since you've fixed the moves of your pokémon, there's nothing wrong with your character,

Were we supposed to list our age at any point? I guess that would fall under appearance, but that's sort of a stretch... let's just say that Damian Walker is 17.

 

[Pterosauria]

It's not really necessary to list ages and things like that - If you really want to, you can, but unless their age is particularly important to the character, it's usually something you can go without listing. Their general appearance and demeanour tends to hint at age, anyhow.​

 

[Logical Cabbage]

Done with my SU! Please check it out and say anything if it's missing/wrong.

 

[Pterosauria]

Well, I can't see anything wrong with your character, although her pokémon are entitled to fourth moves, so
