Isle of Origin
PREMISE
We all know the many stories telling the origin of Pokemon. Some say Mew was the ancestor of all. Others say Arceus created them, along with the world. Still others believe that they originated from space!
Young Apprentice Researcher Darwin Charleston has long been fascinated by this subject. Ever since he supposedly saw a Mew as a child, he has been obsessed with this question. After years of research in High School, the young prodigy arrived at a conclusion. According to a legend with no region associated with it, There was an island out in the vast sea where Arceus went to rest. But another legend spoke of an island where Mew would appear. Another one spoke of an island where a large meteor crashed carrying a strange being. The conlusion he reached was that these must be speaking of the same island, and that a vital clue, or maybe even answers, lay there.
At the age of 19, he believes he finally located the island of legend. It is, in fact, a known but little-explored place located in the waters between the southernmost points of Kanto and Sinnoh. It is known as Crimson Island and its only port is in Carvahna Cove,known to be a lawless town of thugs and pirates.
After much persuading, he gained a small budget to put together a team and head out on a research expedition to Crimson Island. The budget is so small, however, that after equipment and supplies, he has very little to pay for a team or a boat.
As a result, he has to limit his team to the essentials and possibly expand it with those willing to work pro bono, like those with a personal interest in the expedition or those he has a history with.
Will he get a team together? Will they reach Crimson Island? What trials await them once they get there?

Hi! Welcome to this RP! My aim with this is to create a fun, epic pokemon adventure! There will be thrills, emotion, internal struggle, suspense and pokemon!
Want to create a character for this? Be my guest! There are only a few guidelines:
1. Try to fill a need for the expedition team! Be it cook, boat captain, bookkeeper, fellow researcher, or just a hired mercenary! Be sure to check if that need has already been filled...
2. Make it interesting! Does the character have a reason for wanting to go? Money? Adventure? A history with Darwin? An escape from something? And do they have any secrets? What about they're pokemon (if they have any)?
3. No characters with legendary pokemon. We need those to be special in this RP...
4. No Mary Sues/Gary Stues! Just putting that out there.
Now for an example/my entry:
Name: Darwin Charleston
Age: 19
Occupation: Apprentice Researcher
From: Castellia City, Unova
Bio: Born in Kanto. At a very young age, Darwin claims to have seen a Mew while he was out exploring on vacation with his parents. After looking up exactly what Mew was, he became fascinated by it, and after hearing his Father tell him about Arceus, he became more interested in the true origin of Pokemon. At school, he excelled in his studies, even being called a prodigy. He was simply very driven, however, by his goals. At age 10, he received a Porygon from his Mother, who worked at Silph Co.. After that, he traveled around Kanto for a while, then Unova. His intellect, however, caught the attention of Professor Juniper, who noticed his passion in when he would look for answers to the origin of pokemon. She allowed him to study at a branch lab in Castelia, where he started living. At age 18, he became an official apprentice. When he presented his theory about Crimson Island to his peers, however, he was laughed at. They said he was wasting his talents on legends, and some even questioned his competence. He didn't give up, and his brain was valued at the lab too much to be fired. So, probably just to shut him up, they gave him a small budget and clearance to research the island.
Personality: Cheerful and optimistic, Darwin finds joy in his research as well as his pokemon. He He often gets excited when he feels he's found something, and seems indifferent to danger around him when research is involved, to a fault, in fact. He keeps his Porygon2 out of its pokeball often so that it can assist him with computer work. He almost never complains, trying to find a silver lining in any situation. He is not built for much physical activity, and gets tired easily on hikes. He also can't fist fight to save his life. He is an exceptional tactician when it comes to battling. When out on an expedition, he will try to maintain teamwork and cooperation, while providing direction along with attempts at being social. While he can't fist fight, he took up fencing as a hobby at age 15.
Pokemon: Data (Porygon2), Cosmo (Clefable, Male), Rogue (Greninja, Male), Mystique (Gothitelle, Female), Morph (Ditto), Pyro (Flareon, Male)
