Light in the Dark: Orre Region

[~SilverSoul]

Eevee is Open For Anybody!! Place Your Sign-Up in the ooc thread if you're interested.

If you're part of my Hoenn rp then don't worry. I'm going to run this along with this rp. I hope this can be a very successful rp!

Plot
Darkness is slowly creeping over the world again. Everyone thought it was destroyed long ago when Wes prevailed......but they were wrong. Like they did long ago, two teams are terrorizing not only the region of Orre, but the hearts of pokemon as well. Both of these teams are Team Snagem and Team Cipher.
Team Snagem is a team that has their base far off in the Eclo Canyon. Long ago, they used to work with Team Cipher by using the Snag Machines they invented. Both teams used these devices to steal trainer's pokemon and then turn them into "Shadow Pokemon," pokemon that were turned into fighting machines by having their hearts closed. Both Team Cipher and Team Snagem turned into the biggest threats in the world. Their plans went well until Wes one day destroyed Team Snagem's lab and stole one of their Snag Machines. He recaptured all the Shadow Pokemon and purified them. The world was brought to peace, and Team Snagem and Cipher were brought down for a while. But now they're rebuilding again, and Shadow Pokemon are appearing in Orre once more, but no one to save them is in sight...
You are a young trainer living in the Pokemon HQ Lab in the western part of the Orre Region. Along with four other trainers, you are very talented as a trainer, but have never been on some sort of journey. You have with you a pokemon that you obtained somehow a long time ago and has been a close partner to you ever since. The adults in the lab nervously talk to each other about the Shadow Pokemon and one day call all of you down for your most important meeting ever.

Rules
1.) Be Active!! This has to be one of the most important rules in the rp! We can't keep this rp running if no one ever posts. You must be able to post every one or two days. Pm me if you're going away or can't make it to the computer for awhile. We'll work it out.
2.) It is possible to own a legendary Shadow Pokemon later in the rp, but you'll only own one. More details about this will be told later.
3.) Do not god-mod or bunny any other of the players. Unless you have gotten permission from that player, do not completely control another person. I will have a serious problem if you break this rule.
4.) Follow the personality and history that you made for you character. It makes no sense to make a happy, light personality for your character and then make them mad all the time in the rp. This is why you're making them!
5.) Have Fun!! This is another important rule. Do not sign-up if you have no intention of having fun. Put some effort into your posts and help make this rp enjoyable!
6.) This story takes place around the time that Micheal would've started his journey and has slight differences. We will visit some places more than once and there will be routes where you can capture wild pokemon. All I ask is not to complain about the order we're traveling in and to post comments or ideas in the ooc thread if you have any.

Game Play
When all the slots are taken, we will begin the rp.
Like most rps, I will not be participating in this rp. Instead, I will be the "Game Master", controlling many characters such as both Team Snagem and Team Cipher, their Admins, shadow and wild pokemon, etc.
You will be in charge of your own character and your own pokemon. For your pokemon, you will be in charge of the moves they learn, if you want for them too evolve, etc. You cannot godmod other players' pokemon and actions (like mentioned in the rules). If trying to capture a wild or Shadow pokemon, I will decide whether you have caught it or not, and what its level is depending on the quality of your post.
This rp will be in "Chapter Form." This means I will post a chapter with information of the area you are in, and what you're allowed to do. There will be no specific order to post in, but you must wait in between each of your posts to wait for me to grade your post. In this grading, I will tell you the level boosts your pokemon have gotten, the moves they are, or trying to, learn, the items you've gotten, etc.
Please refer to the RolePlay rules if you have any more questions, or Pm me.

(ooc: allright, against my better judgement...this seems waaaay to fun to pass up!)
Name: Mike Stand (yes thats his real name)
Gender: Male
Age: 16

Appearance: Mike has dark black hair that is spiked in everyway shape and form. He wears a dark purple t-shirt with a red and black striped long sleeved shirt underneath. He has black pants with a silver chain attached to them along with red shoes.

Personality: Mike is generally a nice guy though he tends to overreact to the little things. Most people see him as that weird loud guy but when you look closer you see he is a very cotemplative young man. He is able to see things beyond the obvious and look at the subtle. Mike is able to see both sides of an argument even if he has his own opinon. That said Mike does have faults. He is known to say the wrong thing at the wrong time and automaticly make assuptions about people based on a first appearence. He can be distant when he wants to be making people think he is a cold person.

History: Mike's family has mostly lived in the Kanto Region where they saw the rise and fall of the former Kanto League Chapion, Bobby Baker. Mike has always looked up to Bobby as a hero of heros being that Bobby is from Pallet Town just like Mike. However Bobby soon fell from the grace of power when the trainer ???? (to be filled when the kanto rp is over!) defeated Bobby and took the title of Champion.

Soon Mike's family moved to the Johto Region where Mike's mother fell deathly ill and soon passed on. This crushed Mike to the point where he ran away from his grief and his home. He soon fell into a fast current river where he nearly drowned. Afterwards his father was offered a job at the Orre HQ Lab to study Shadow Pokemon. It has only been 6 months since the move so Mike is still adjusting to the move.

Preferred Starter: Totodile (of course ;))
Obtained: While Mike was drowning in the river, a wild Totodile jumped in to save him. Mike's father was impressed with the display of courage and allowed Mike to keep it. Totodile however has an attitude problem, always putting himself first most of the time and always believes he is right.

Rp Sample: (This is from rii-chii's Rainbow Dreams RP)
Chapter 2:Natsuko VS Bobby!
"Skitty use Tackle!" Natsuko cried.

"Sunkern use Ingrain!" Bobby ordered. The Seed Pokemon quickly grew roots into the ground absorbing energy in the process.

"Meow!" (OOC: what does a Skitty sound like?) cried Skitty. She threw the entire weight of her body against Sunkern sending the grass pokemon flying....And then Sunkern came flying back and knocked Skitty the other way!

"Awsome! My plan worked!" Bobby cried. What happend was that since Sunkern had used Ingrain, the roots had forced Sunkern to stay in one place. Sunkern extended the roots as far as she allowed and when she was as far as she could go she came swinging back much like a sling shot.

"Grr...that was a dirty trick!" Natsuko whined.

"That wasn't a trick that was just strategy!" Bobby smirked.

"I'll show you strategy! Skitty use Grass Knot!" Natsuko commanded. The kitten Pokemon put her tail to the ground and summoned root like things around Sunkern cutting the Ingrain. "Hows that!" the young Gym Leader gloated.

"Not bad, not bad." Bobby said. "But can you handle Mega Drain?" As if on cue Sunkern began draining the life out of Skitty.

"Stop that!" Natsuko cried, but it was too late. Sunkern had drained all the life out of Skitty.

"Skitty is unable to battle! Round One goes to Sunkern!" the referee anounced.

"Allright! Good job Sunkern!" Bobby said hapilly. "You deserve a break. Return!

"Sun Sun!" the Seed Pokemon said as she returned to her Pokeball.

"See how you'll handle this one! Go Budew!" Natsuko cried sending out her second pokemon. Bobby pulled his Pokedex to get a read on this grass Pokemon.

"Budew, the Bud Pokemon. Over the winter, it closes its bud and endures the cold. In spring, the bud opens and releases pollen."

"Hmm this will be tricky but lets go Squirtle!" Bobby yelled as he sent his partner into battle. "Squirtle use Bubble!"

"Haha do you honestly expect that pitifull water attack can hurt us? Budew use Stun Spore to pop all those bubbles!" Budew unleashed a flury of thick spores which popped Squirtle's attack away.

"Now use Grass Knot to keep that turtle in place!" Natsuko commanded.

"Squirtle!" the Tiny Turtle Pokemon cried as he became frozen in place by the grass roots.

"Now Budew use Absorb!"

"Budeeeeeew!" the Bud Pokemon cried as she began to suck all the energy from Squirtle.

"Squirtle! Use Withdraw!" Bobby yelled! Squirtle went into his shell releasing himself from the Grass Knot torcher. "Now use turn around and use Bubble!"

A bunch of bubble's came flying out of Squirtle's shell propelling himself foward with speed. "Quick stop them Budew! Stun Spore!" Natsuko cried.

"Dodge it Squirtle!" Squirtle moved out of the way of the onlaught of spore's and continued its charged down the field. "Now use Tackle!" Bobby ordered.

Squirtle popped out of his shell and knocked Budew to the ground. "Now use Tail Whip!" Squirtle slammed its tail in a whipping fashing knocking Budew out.

"Grr lets see how you'll handle Roselia!" Natsuko cried sending out a Pokemon that looked like a flower.

"Roselia, the Thorn Pokemon. ROSELIA raised on clean drinking water are known to grow vividly colored flowers." Bobby's Pokedex said.

"Hmm that one looks tough..." Bobby muttered. "Squirtle Return! Go Beedrill!" Bobby called back the Tiny Turtle Pokemon and sent out the Poison Bee Pokemon.

"Bzz Bzz!" Beedrill cried as it came out of its Pokeball. It was pumped for battle as it had only recently evolved into its final form.

"Looks like we're both at a disadvantage here." Natsuko said. "You still won't win though! Roselia use Poison Sting!"

"Roselia!" the Thorn Pokemon cried as it began to shoot purple thorns at Beedrill.

"Beedrill use Harden!" Bobby cried. Beedrill's body became as hard as stone and the Poison Sting harmlessly bounced off.

"Arg! Roselia use Mega Drain!" Natsuko cried frustrated.

"Beedrill dodge it and counter with Fury Attack!"

"Bzz Bzz!" Beedrill cried as he charged in and began to stab furiously at Roselia.

"Rose! Rose!" Roselia cried out in pain.

"Now Beedrill finish it off with Poison Sting!" Bobby ordered. Beedrill's right stinger glowed purple and with an upper cut stung Roselia.

"Roselia is unable to Battle! The match goes to the Challenger Bobby Baker!" the ref announced.

"Allright! My first Badge!" Bobby cried happily.

"Sniff...theres no way i'm giving you this badge!" Natsuko cried as she ran out of the gym.

"Hey!" Bobby cried as he ran after her.

 

[~SilverSoul]

To Zimvee: Ha ha, couldn't resist, huh? I'm shocked that you didn't use Bobby this time (I was actually thinking 'Well, let's go read Bobby Baker's profile again' before opening the page). Hopefully I can make this rp as fun as possible, and you're welcome to give me your own ideas once I open the ooc thread if you have any. Accepted.

 

[CTFx]

Name: Jack "Ace" King
Gender: Male
Age: 15

Appearance: Ace is an average height, last time he checked it was 5'6". He weighs 121 lbs. exactly, which he says is all muscle. It really is, he is skinny, but has a stronger build. He usually wears a white cap, with a spade on the front, hence his name. He wears thin shirts, but moves to lighter jackets in the fall, and sweatshirts in the winter. He wears dirty blue jeans everyday. Most people think they are nasty, but he washes them almost every night.

His cap hides a thin layer of light brown hair. His facial features are sharp with dark brown, almond eyes. He wears expensive shoes, usually colorful: pink, blue, green, and yellow.

Personality: Ace is haughty. He is self centered, as long as he gets his way he is fine. But, at the same time, he is caring. If he has room for one more to stand on the podium, he will help them up. Ace is also really outgoing. He can be the first or second to know about a party, and can throw a mean one himself. His weak spot is Pokemon though. He cannot stand to see one get hurt. This rule overrides any self accomplishments.

History: Ace is not proud of his heritage. Nope, not at all. His Parents are both part of Team Snagem. He cares nothing for them at the least. As soon as he found out this truth, he ran away from home. He ran away to Pyrate Town. Ace had lived in abandoned homes, and stole food and money for a living. He did have a good circle of friends though, often raiding places together. A kid came along and crushed the crime all together. Ace heard his name was Wes, but he didnt care really. He stopped his crime and got a real job as a PokeMart clerk. Ace later got into the world of Pokemon. At the age of 14, he stole a Pokeball from the mart. He decided to catch a Pokemon so he could battle some of his friends. Later on, he got to the point where he is now. Ace heard about Dark Pokemon and Team Snagem on the loose agian. He decided to put a stop to it, heck, maybe he will get to face his parents along the way.

Preferred Starter and how you obtained it: Eevee; Ace worked at a PokeMart, and took a Pokeball from it when he was 14. In order to show-up his friends, he ventured out into the woods and snuck up on a sleeping Eevee. Half tranced in sorrow, he hesitantly threw the ball at it, wincing when the ball left his hand.

The unexpecting Eevee gave little fight, and gave in. Eevee was his and it was named "Queen", to complete the set of cards in his name.

Rp Sample: You have seen my RP's in your last, but I will still get one.

The Epic Challenge: Hoenn Region
I dont know who its made by :)

Hunter's heart rose. After one full day and a overnight sleep, Hunter was so happy to get out of the forest. He could see the light shining from the opening of the exit.

He thought of a cozy bed, with some stew and his Pokemon being healed, and having Pikachu checked out. He thought of maybe a gym there, a badge. He could see himself holding up something shiny.

He couldn't wait, he charged into a run, leaving Makuhita and Poochy trailing behind. He was so sure of getting out. But there stood someone awfully familiar at the edge of the exit.

His heart dropped, his reveries faded into mist. Parker. He remember facing off to him in Odale, he was a good trainer but a bad person, all around. He looked at his Pokemon, Makuhita and Poochy panting, scratches and bruised blotted them. They weren't in fighting condition. All he had was, Slakoth, but that couldn't stand up to Parker's powerful Pokemon.

He was watching Parker from afar, watching his eyes scan passing trainers. He felt a laser hit him, and the alarms went off. His stoic face turned to a frown as he started to walk towards him.

"Pika-PI?" Pikachu said, noticing the odd trainer walking towards them.

"Its a rival," he explained to Pikachu, "I have only Slakoth to fight wi-" He stopped. He didnt want to hurt Pikachu's feelings about her...disability.

"Well, fancy seeing you here!" Said Parker, finally reaching Hunter. "Looks like your Pokemon got into a little scrape?" He said, glancing at Makuhita and Poochy. His eyes hit Pikachu and Slakoth.

"So, you have some recruits, eh? Well so did I, and I could bet money that mine are better than yours."

"Really?" Hunter questioned, "You would really bet money on a Pokemon match?"

Parker reached into a jean pocket, and pulled out a crumpled 500 Credit Bill. Hunter sighed, he reached into his "Savings" Envelope and threw out 500.

"So be it," Hunter sighed. Pikachu got down and sat on the ground, eager to watch the battle. Slakoth had noticed his name being refrenced so he was already loafing infront of Hunter.

"Silcoon, go!" Hunter didnt care for pointing his Pokedex, he just wanted to get out of here.

"Silcoon, use tackle!" "Slakoth, dodge and use your own tackle!" Slakoth did not dodge, and the white cacoon hit him head on. Slakoth shrugged off the command of a tackle, and swiped at Silcoon leaving a harsh gash.

"Harden, Silcoon!" A new layer of that white dermis swept over the gash, creating a new layer.

"Slakoth, use that yawn power!" Slakoth just sat there, he kind of looked like he was just chilling. "Slakoth, this is not a time to goof off!" Slakoth looked back at Hunter then kind of shrugged his shoulders.

Hunter just stood there with his mouth open. Parker was in full blown hysteria.

"Slakoth, please, use yawn!" Parker didnt notice it, he was too busy busting over. Still Slakoth just sat there, doing nothing, pulling blades off grass out the ground.

"Silcoon...heh...use...heheh...Tackle!" Parker giggled.

"Slakoth, JUST DODGE IT AND SCRATCH IT LIKE YOU DID EARLIER!" Hunter screamed. Nearby trainers stopped to watch the fustration steaming off of Hunter.

Slakoth's eyes went from lazy to demonic, he sidestepped the tackle like nothing, then scratched the bug nonstop.

The bug tried to scurry away, hurt and scared. Hunter stood there, words escaped his lips. "Dear God, Slakoth!"

Slakoth flopped back over, took a deep breath, than started to pick some nearby flowers.

Parker had stopped laughing. He was scared, this Pokemon was not normal.

Lazing off than suddenly going rampage, thats just a little scary.

"Slakoth, scratch for the final blow!" But the Slakoth kept on picking flowers, throwing some into his mouth.

"Silcoon! String Shot!" All the amusment in Parkers voice was gone. The Silcoon turned around and launched a volly of white, sticky string onto Slakoth.

"Slakoth, Scratch him, please!" Hunter pleaded. Although this got real interesting, real fast, he still wanted to get to the next city.

The Slakoth threw down the flowers he had in his hand than rushed the petrified Silcoon then scratched him straight up in the face.

The Silcoon fell over, defeated. Pikachu stared in both horror and curiousity in Slakoth, as did Makuhita, Poochy, and other nearby trainers that did not have a Slakoth. Pikachu walked over to the pile of 1000 bucks and grabbed it.

Hunter took it as it was brought to him, and they all started to walk away.

Parker was left a mess, still staring at his Silcoon, wondering when it ended.

 

[~SilverSoul]

To CTFx: Sure, it is reserved for you.

Zimvee, I forgot to add you on the list in the first post. Hang on a sec...

 

[Pikalover10]

Name: Max
Gender: Male
Age: 10

Appearenece: Max is shorter then most people. He has a scar running down his back and it often stings when something bad is going to happen. He wears a red and white shirt, black and yellow shorts, a yellow and black hat, yellow shoes, a black fingerless glove, a yellow fingerless glove, has black spiky/messy hair, has blue eyes, and he wears a necklace with his favorite pokemon's picture in it.

Personality: Max has always been a light hearted fellow. He never usually holds grudges against people and always acts friendly to them. He loves pokemon and never wants to hurt them. On top of being light hearted Max is also very outgoing. He will do anything and everything for his friends and pokemon. He is always the clown of the group what with his jokes, pranks occasionally and back talk.

History: Max lived with his parents his entire life in a far off forest in Orre. He lived in a small crammped log cabin with his parents, 2 older brothers, and 1 younger brother. He was always picked on by his older brothers and was always annoyed by his younger brother. He would play in the lake alone at night and loved it. He would be in there playing with water pokemon and swam for hours with them.

He turned 8 and someone new moved into the forest. When this happened Max was truelly surprised, for that was a very very very rare occasion. Max dashed over to the other cabin hearing that there was a boy there the same age as him. He met the boy who's name was Ingo. Ingo and Max were best friends and still are. When Ingo turned 9 his parents told him that he was going to live in the HQ lab with his Aunt and Uncle. When Ingo told Max this Max begged his parents and Ingo's parents if he could go with Ingo. They told him this was fine and Max was going to head off with Ingo in two months.

Max was relieved and had been packing his stuff for one month. The day right before they left Max was swiming in the lake with Ingo. They were having a grand time when an orange chicken fell into the water. It cried out and started sinking. Max imediately dived underwater and saved the little chick who thanked him by staying with him. Max soon became attached to the little chicken and when they went to the HQ lab Max took her with him. They became best friends and Max eventually called her Aki because it meant fall and that was when Max found him.

Preffered Starter: Torchic!

Obtained: Max was swiming with his best friend Ingo and saw a bright orange chick fall in the water. He dived underwater and saved the little chick and called him Aki. Max loved the little chick and soon found out that it was a girl and it was a fire tye. He took it with him to the HQ lab resistent to let her live in the forest without him.

RP Sample: It is from your Hoenn RP:

Max stood there as Proffessor Birch was shaking all of their hands and he was the last one to get his hand shaked. He thanked them for sving him and then he told them to follow him. He was the last one in the line. He looked at the scenery and noticed tons of different pokemon. Ones that were brown and tan and ones that were grey and black. He couldn't wait to start his adventure.

They soon arivved in Littleroot again and they walked inside his laboratory. He paced up and down as all of them were standing in a horizonatal line. He came to a halt and said "The pokemon that you sent the pokeball flying at will be your starters." He walked over to his desk and he opened one of the cabinets and pulled out 5 red mechanical objects. "These are pokedexs and they will tell you all you need to know about certain pokemon." he said handing them all out and of course...Max was the last one to get his.

He didn't like being the last one to shake Birch's hand, or be the last one in line, or even the last one to get there pokedex. Birch also handded out 5 pokeballs and Max was last again. "Why? Why am I always last!?" Max shouted out to Birch. Birch didn't respond because he appearently wasn't listening. This enraged Max. "Why aren't you listening? My name is Max and I'm going to be the greatest pokemon master of all time and I don't like being last at everything!!!!!" Max shouted furious. "See. It's that exact attitude that will put you at the very bottom of your goal!" Proffessor Birch scowled at Max. He flinched and looked away. "I'm sorry." he mumbled so quiet that Birch could barely make it out.

"Now these pokeballs will be used to capture wild pokemon like you did with your beginner. But remember to weaken the pokemon before you use it understood?" Birch asked looking at every single one of them and noticed that Max was still looking away. They all nodded their heads as if they understood. All of them except for Max. Birch sighed and then everyone set off on their journeys.

Max was held up by Birch after all the others had left and of course he again would have been last. "I'm sorry Max. I didn't mean to storm off at you but you shouldn't have shouted that stuff out at the moment." Birch said with Max's back to him. Max turned around and looked at Birch as if he didn't want to hear what the man was saying. "I don't care what you say because you don't care what I say or what I feel. You're just an old man who wants nothing but for the new beginners to set off and gather data for you while you sit back and relaxe!" Max yelled at him storming off.

Birch sighed again and noticed that Max had left his pokedex behind. Birch ran after Max and saw him sitting on a bench. "Max! You foregot your pokedex in the lab." Birch yelled after him. Max looked back at Birch and grabbed the mechanical machine. He didn't say a word just sat there looking beyond Route 101. He wnted to find out what happened to his mom so bad. He felt like there was an emptiness inside of him.

Birch was still standing there. "I'm sorry Proffessor Birch. It's just..." Max said. "I know what happened to your mother and I'm very sorry for that pain that was brought upon you." Birch said. He left and went back inside his laboratory and Max stood up with his new beginner pokemon in his hand. He smiled and put it onto his belt and walked to the enterance of Route 101. He saw a nice patch of grass and walked over and sat in it. He called his new pokemon out. "Tree!" It said. "So you're the pokemon Treeko huh?" Max asked looking at the pokemon. "Treeko Tree!" It said jumping on Max's head. Max laughed and rubbed Treeko's head and said "We're going to be the best of friends. Aren't we Treeko?" Treeko didn't here what Max said because he had fallen asleep.

"Treeko return." Max said as a red light shot out of the pokeball and enveloped Treeko. He laid on the grass and stared at the sky. "Mom. Don't worry I'm coming to get you." Max said as he smelled the fragrance of flowers and felt the breeze on his face and slowly. Very slowly fell asleep.

[ANARCHit3cht]

Name: Nathaniel Krauss
Gender: Male
Age:17

Appearance: Nathaniel is pretty tall by his standards, standing at 6'8". He has brown hair that is always in a mess, it hangs just over his eyes. His eyes are a crystal blue and teeth shining white. He is a bit on the chubby side. Normally he wears a long, white lab coa. and a black t-shirt underneath. He also wears dark gray, thick gym sweats. On his head is a cap, a knit cap with a bill; this cap is pure black. Around his neck lies his dad's old dog tags. Hanging from his pocket is a golden chain that holds his most prized possession, a pocket watch.

Personality: Krauss is typically a nice guy and just likes life as it comes to him. Yeah he can be a bit lazy but hey, who isn't? He loves to eat and loves pretty girls, but often finds himself speechless in the presence of one. He is also a major klutz. On the other hand Krauss is quite smart, but tends to act a bit stupider than he is. The main reason he acts stupid is so that his friends can get a good laugh, but he knows when it is time to be serious...most of the time. He loves to meet new people and make new friends and is typically a follower as he couldn't order anyone around with cracking up. He would find it funny that someone like him is stepping up to the plate and trying to dish out orders. All in all is a relaxed, intellgent klutz.

History: Krauss grew up in the port town of Gateon know as Gateon Port, where he spent the majority of his time in the Machine Parts shop. He had learned a lot from observing Makan and Perr, learning what parts go here and what this thingy is. He was soon approached by Perr who asked if they could be friends, Krauss not really having many friends accepted and Makan soon began teaching both Perr and Krauss. Krauss had excelled at building little machines and soon said good-bye to both of them and decided to help in the herb shop.

In the Herb Shop he learned many combinations and recipes to making all different types of herbs. He also learned where various herbs where and how to extract juices and other things from some of them. The shop had lots of customers when he was working a part time job, he had seen many pokemon come and go. Soon he decided to work downstairs and aid the Pokecenter. He worked their too pokemon often liked to be treated by him and were sad when they had to leave. One day a trainer dropped of a pokemon and never came back, he had asked the nurse if he could keep it. She said to wait a week, a week passed and no one came so he got to keep the pokemon. Soon representatives from the Pokemon HQ Lab saw how smart Krauss was and took him there to be a reasearcher/scientist.

Preferred Starter and how you obtained it:Shinx. While working at the Pokecenter a trainer dropped off the Shinx and he took care of it untill it was better. The trainer never did come back so Krauss decided to keep the Shinx himself. He could tell that it was female. He could tell because a female's mane doesn't stick up as much as a male's. Also, all four paws of a female Shinx are blue while the hind-paws of a male are black. He wasn't very creative with names so he decided to call it by it's name is Japanese it changing as the pokemon evolved, Shinx's Japanese name was Kolink, Luxio's was Luxio, and Luxray's was Rentorar. Rp Sample:

Spoiler:

Alex nodded at Ed. "Yeah, I am ready" he said in a low growl. He turned is attention towards the Machamp,gave him a good look up and down, bared his teeth and then lunged at the rather large pokemon. The Machamp swung his arm forward as if to swat away the Growlithe,but was instead met by sharp teeth. The Machamp flung his arm around wildly to shake off Alex,Alex came crashing to the ground seconds later. He stood up and looked around, also seeing his comrades engaged in the battle against the Machoke. Alex backed up so that he could use a take-down attack. He charged the Machamp's leg and was hit with a hard kick. So that is his low kick, huh?Alex again crashed to the ground. These Physical attacks don't seem to be working... I need a plan Alex jumped to the side as a karate chop came down to the ground. Now is my chance! Alex used his agility moved and raced up the Machamp's arm, when he reached his shoulder he lost his footing, crashing to the ground once more. The Machamp isn't as big as i think i have to keep that in mind.. Alex was definetly loosing the fight as of now. Why did I even choose this Machamp? It must of just been on impulse. Alex moved back, still keeping his eye on the Machamp "Time for another take-down" he mumbled to himself.

Alex looked down and then back up at his target, who was already using another low-kick. Alex countered it with a take-down, on the foot still on the ground. In turn the Machamp lost his footing and fell backwards. The Machamp looked as angry as ever. He decided to take his advantage. Alex used ember on top of the foe's head. He heard the Machamp grunt. Is this a sign of me taking the lead? Even if it wasn't Alex took it that way. The Machamp finally regained it self and slapped out the ember.

"You are a foolish little Growlithe, you should've stayed back and kept your nose out of our buisness..." The pokemon said in an annoyed voice, "but now you don't have the option of backing out" the Machamp grunted while sending a Dynamic Punch towards the Growlithe, who in turn staggered around in a daze.

"I don't think I should have stayed back, it is the annoying, arrogant punks like you that really tick me off" Alex growled back, while using a flame wheel.

"That is a bold statement, noble too especially for such a tiny little pokemon, but nobility will get you now where when helping a banished pokemon" retorted the Machamp. He side-stepped out of the way barley getting singed by the fiery attack. "Ha Ha Ha Ha, you are weak" the Machamp ventured to say.

Alex charged towards the Machamp who tried to swat him away again, but again met Alex's fangs.

"You should know, the same attack never works on me" the Machamp said with a sense of pride. He clamped his other hand on the dog-like pokemon. He swung him around and tossed him to the ground. "That is a taste of my seismic toss.."

Alex was almost out of the fight against this rather powerful pokemon. zzz"Oh yeah?" Alex taunted, "Well then here have a taste of my flame wheel, it is only fair since you let me taste you toss.." Alex began to shoot out an flame wheel and the Machamp opened up his mouth to speak again.

"Ha Ha Ha I hate pokemon like-" he was cut off by the flame of the wheel entering his mouth. He let out a bit of a yelp before he ran off to go find water to cool his mouth.

"Well, I hope i don't see you around here for a while.." Alex said to the fleeing Machamp. He laid down he was a bit exhausted, but couldn't sleep in case anyone needed him. So he just laid there waiting for someone to ask for help, or signal to move on.

[SuperJ-GOF]

Name: Josh Eastman

Gender: Male

Age: 13

Appearance: Around 4 foot 9, Josh is abnormally short for his age. He has green eyes, short-cut black hair, and usually wears sun-glasses. He's a casual dresser, rarely wearing anything fancier than blue jeans, a solid black t-shirt, and a denim coats. The one exception to this is his shoes, which are always top of the line. To make them even more interesting, he spray-paints the sides of his shoes with cool designs, such as dragons, landscapes, or Tropius.

Personality: An extremely head-strong person, he hates to be wrong, which gets him into arguments a lot. He's the lazy, laid-back type as well, but is the hardest worker you've ever seen if there's money involved. Otherwise, he always has an excuse to get out of it. His excuses are actually pretty good , due to his also witty personality. He's shrewd, ambitious, loyal, and has a normally sunny disposition. Overall, Josh is quite the colorful and unique character.

History: He was said to have been smirking at birth, although whether this is true or not, He hasn't figured out yet. Born to James and Martha Eastman, Josh has been a fairly happy kid. His father worked as a chef for a diner, and his mother usually stayed at home. Josh lived in a nice, but mediocre home, located near the south end of Agate Village. Josh is responsible for laundry, trimming the trees, and sometime making his own breakfast, to get paid extra allowance.

Josh has come up with several get-rich-quick schemes in the past, but has a vivid memory of the first time he tried to earned money. He was three at the time, and would go out and look for Pokémon, draw them and sell the drawings for 30 cents each. This was actually very successful, considering how much the other kids in his neighborhood liked Pokémon. When he realized that his total sales would allow him to buy his very own Pokéball, he was ecstatic! To this day, that first Pokéball is in a glass case, resting on a shelf in his room.

Josh started home-schooling at age two, and was home-schooled through 3rd grade. His average day consisted of breakfast, schoolwork, lunch, school work, playing in the back yard, and when he started attending a public elementary school, his life didn't get anymore exciting. His routine didn't change much, aside from his work being done at school. He's getting fairly good grades, with a B average, though he hates oral reports, and sometimes skips school to get out of them.

Josh now, in memory of his first business dealings, now continues to draw and sell Pokémon. He makes up to 15 dollars a week, considering the improved quality of his art. Josh up until recently, has never moved, nor changed his lifestyle. He's was getting extremely sick of it, up until he was moved to the Pokemon HQ. He hopes to do more than draw and do homework

Preferred Starter and how you obtained it: At age 3 when Josh first started drawing Pokémon, he was sitting on the street, looking for more Pokémon to draw. He spotted the Bulbasaur and thought he was kind of cool looking. He drew him up slowly, taking time to account for detail, something which he didn't ordinarily do. When he was finished, he saw an elderly man walk up to him, and return him to his Pokéball. This was a major disappointment, because the longer he took to draw him, the more attached he'd become. He ran up, to the man, and discovered that he was his neighbor. He spent much of his free time drawing at his neighbors house after that, getting even closer to the Bulbasaur. A few years later, his neighbor died, and Josh figured some relative would get the Bulbasaur. He attended the funeral, and burial, at which his will was read. To his amazement and delight, the Bulbasaur was now his!

RP Sample: This is a post from a RP I started in a different Pokémon forum, if that's ok. To give you some background, there's a war going on between people and most Pokémon, and the RPers are caught right in the middle of it.

James kept walking down the dusty path, thinking to himself.

"I can't believe this is actually happening…" James sighed to himself as he walked down the dust path way.

"Marsh?" cried his blue and orange companion, with a curious look on his face.

"I'm glad I still have you, old buddy! I couldn't imagine what things would be like without you! " James said, and patted his Marshtomp on the head. "Or what they'd be like if you had turned against me..." He thought as Marshtomp ran ahead somewhat.

They always walked slowly, partly because they were sad, and partly because they didn't want to go home. James lived at the end of the trail he was on, but he dreaded the thought of retuning there, and facing the ongoing madness. His thoughts returned to what had happened to his family. He hated the thoughts, but they would not leave his mind.

"Someone so wise, so great, so powerful, how could he have done such a foolish thing!?" James stamped his foot angrily, but then smiled when his Marshtomp looked at him.

Again he thought of his family, how his father had died in the war, how his mother was killed by their family Persian, how his brothers were being held prisoner, and probably in torment. How he was living with his old uncle, who was too depressed to be of much comfort, and too old to walk with him like this.

James turned his thoughts to something else.

"Hey, remember the time when I saved you from that Croconaw?" James said to Marshtomp.

"Marshtomp!" Marshtomp replied.

"And remember how we found that odd glowing stone, at the bottom of the pond?"

"Marsh…" Marshtomp started to say, but as he turned his head, developed a blank look on his face.

"Marshtomp, are you okay?" asked James. He turned his own head to see what Marshtomp was staring at, and he too developed a blank stare. Standing in the trees, just to their left was James father. What was even crazier about that, was he had about fifty Mankey behind him.

"Dad! you're alive! And who are they!?"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: Something must of happened when I finished the History... I remember what I put at the end too, but I had to fix something anyway, so no harm. Officially done!

There, I finished.. I edited it into my previous post.

 

[~SilverSoul]

To SuperJ-GOF: Alright. Bulbasaur is reserved for you, but you need to hurry for we're all waiting on you now.

To Losst: Good sign-up sheet. You're Accepted.

To Everyone: Chapter One will be up, at the latest, tomorrow afternoon. It all depends how quickly Super gets his sign-up sheet finished.

 

[SuperJ-GOF]

I'm not sure if you noticed or not, but I finished, I edited my first post.

 

[~SilverSoul]

To SuperJ-GOF: The sign-up was very good, but there was some minor things happening. 1.) You live in the Pokemon HQ Lab, not a house. It could be where you just recently moved there. 2.)Your history was very long and detailed, but it didn't look finished, like it was cut off in the middle of the sentence. 0 o. Look back on that. Besides that, the sign-up is amazing. ;)

In response to 1, I sorta thought so, but I wasn't sure. I explain number 2 in my newly edited post.

 

[~SilverSoul]

To SuperJ-GOF: Thanks a lot for the quick changes. You're Accepted.

And since we have sign-ups out of the way, let's start off with the first chapter! It doesn't include my best writing ever, but it'll work. I'm kind of feeling bad, so my writing is a little affected. I'll get up bio's and the ooc thread when it is actually accepted. (I submitted one earlier. Just waiting for Alter Ego now...)

Chapter One: The Big Meeting
(1 Post)
​

Description: Professor Krane paced nervously down the room as he talked to his co-workers about the situation they were in at the moment. Everybody was nervous. It was hard not to be when Shadow Pokemon were being produced once more in the world. The professor had plan to stop these pokemon from taking over the world like they tried to so long ago, but it was risky and required somebody brave to do the task. Maybe…

"Do you think we should let them…" Krane mumbled.

Nobody knew what to think about the situation. Krane thought for a moment and decided that it was the best thing to do. Taking a few minutes, he called down each of the five young trainers in the lab to report to the room everybody was meeting in.

Everyone came in the room in a straight line. Some of them looked confused on what was happening, but they still lined up and faced the professor. He looked at each trainer nervously, and tried to find the right words to begin speaking.

"Erm, everybody knows about the Shadow Pokemon terrorizing the world, right?" he asked. Some of them nodded while two others nodded slowly to exhibit the stupidity of the question and say "Uh, duh." "Yes, well, about this matter, you guys are needed greatly. Shadow Pokemon are attacking the world like they did so many years ago and the region of Orre needs powerful trainers to fight back and help stop the criminals behind this mess. I think that these trainers are you. You show powerful trainer skills just with the one pokemon you have with you right now."

All of the trainers nodded to show that they understood. The professor smiled as he realized the trainers had bravely accepted the challenge, so he continued with his instructions.

"Then you need to do something for me first. The invention that will help you in your upcoming journey is being worked on in Gateon Port. You must pick it up and come back here for me to show you how it works. It is in the Machine Shop, okay?"

The trainers nodded and let the professor continue.

"This is no time for play. Get the device and come straight back."

After a few minutes, every trainer was out the door and on their way to Gateon Port. Their adventure was just beginning…

What You Do: Explain the things and events you were maybe doing before you were called down by the professor and then explain the meeting. Describe you feelings, your reactions maybe, to the professor's request. There isn't much to do in this post, but it can be open for creativity. End it at you leaving the lab and heading over to Gateon Port.

Chapter One: The Big Meeting​

Krauss had just finished jotting down notes on some of the pokemon he was researching when his Shinx called for food.

It called to him,"Kol..Kol.. ink... Kolink!" (Hurry up in there please! I am very hungry)

"Ok, Ok geeze I am coming..." he walked out of the room, remembering to dim the light before leaving completely. He walked down the hall a bit and opened the door to his room to find Kolink on the counter with the cupboard open and the pokemon reaching for it's food. Krauss chuckled a bit, "Ok, I am here you can get down now.." the voice startled the pokemon and it fell off the counter. On insticnt the boy slid on the ground to catch the pokemon. He caught it and set it down on a nice plush pillow. He opened the reached up into the cabinet and pulled out a bag, in the bag was Kolink's favorite food, witch Nate had yet to name. He got out a bowl and poured some in. "There'ya go girl.. eat up" he said scratching the top of the female pokemon's head.

His walkie-talkie buzzed in it was Krane his voice was fuzzy and mechanical like,"Um, Hello I would like to see each and everyone of you in my office, on the double" the talkie buzzed out, and Krauss reatched it to his waist. He noticed that Kolink had heard, by the way her ears were pricked.

"Come on Kolink, let's go.." he grabbed a muffin off the counter, it was his last one. He was chubby, but not too chubby. He opened the door of his room, it let out a little creak. The Shinx followed him as he turned down the hall. Nate stopped to allow the creature to catch up. "Hey, do you want me to carry you?" he asked so that the pokemon could stay caught up. She shook her head, and began to go a bit faster. "Ok, we are almost at the meeting when we go in want you to be very quiet ok Kolink?"

"Koliink" it purred. I would be quiet for you. It snuck into the room as the door closed. Kolink quickly located it's trainer and laid underneath his seat, recieving a quick scratch from Krauss. She let out an affectionette purr.

<"Erm, everybody knows about the Shadow Pokemon terrorizing the world, right?" Krane asked. Some of the other kids nodded, including Krauss while two others nodded slowly to exhibit the stupidity of the question and say "Uh, duh." "Yes, well, about this matter, you guys are needed greatly. Shadow Pokemon are attacking the world like they did so many years ago and the region of Orre needs powerful trainers to fight back and help stop the criminals behind this mess. I think that these trainers are you. You show powerful trainer skills just with the one pokemon you have with you right now." What.. heh he expects us to go on the journey.. please most of know hardly anything about battling.., but if the world is in danger I will be there to help.> "Prof. Krane.. are you sure...?" the professor nodded.
"Then you need to do something for me first. The invention that will help you in your upcoming journey is being worked on in Gateon Port. You must pick it up and come back here for me to show you how it works. It is in the Machine Shop, okay?" <Hey, I'll get to visit the machine shop again, it has been quite a while I'll be glad to see Perr again, Makan too. I have to focus now..> He looked up after he finished his trail of thought. The professor's tone sounded serious and like he didn't want any screw up's. He was infact serious, the next words that came out of his mouth were "This is no time for play. Get the device and come straight back." Krauss along with the other trainer's filed out of the room.

Krauss immediately wandered back to his room, he had to grab a few things. While in his room he grabbed his back pack and filled with only the bare minimum of necessary items. He packed a couple of potions, one antidote, one parlyz heal and one burn heal. For other humans he packed band-aids and other first-aid items. For himself he packed his journal.He checked his pocket watch, if they wanted to be back some time soon they should leave soon like in five minutes. He closed it shut and hung it back in his pocket. He left his room, locked it and stepped outside the main building, to keep in order and what not. The first thing that Nate noticed was everyone was still inside, <Hey I am the first one out.. cool> he began to pace up and down the walk way waiting for others to come out, then he slipped and fell down, scraping his elbow. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a a band-aid and journal. He attached the band-aid to his elbow. He opened his journal a scrawled down, Klutz accident number twelve for the day, I slipped and scraped my elbow. He closed the book and put it back into his bag.

Chapter One: The Big Meeting
Looking around the HQ, for me, was like a little kid in a brightly lit toy store without his parents. I felt a huge mix of emotions, terror, excitement, curiosity, and it sort of overwhelmed me. Being a kid who hasn't had an exciting life was tough. But now, I had a brand new opportunity for adventure. I hadn't really gotten to know the other four kids here; all I did know was their first names.

"Well Bulbasaur, what should we do?" I asked.

Bulbasaur, who was tired from our trip, just cocked his head slightly as he looked at me through sleepy eyes. We had walked from our old home to the HQ, and Bulbasaur wasn't really use to physical activity, apart from battles, but he hadn't had a real one of those in a while. I had to admit that I hadn't liked walking at all either, but Dad thought it would be good for me. I returned Bulbasaur to his Pokéball, and attached it to a chain that came from my coat pocket. I thought about my parents, who were still at home, and wondered when I'd see them again. I sat down, and remembered I had a small drawing pad in my jean pocket, and a pencil sticking from behind my ear.

"Well, I got nothing better to do," I thought as I pulled both items out.

"Let's see," I said, my eyes sort of aimlessly floating around the room I was in. "What to draw, what to draw…"

Finding nothing interesting in my room, I decided to think back and draw something I had seen on my way here. I drew a tree. I drew a man with a strange looking hat on. I drew my old house. And of course, I drew Bulbasaur. I had so many drawings of him, I had lost count.

All of a sudden, I was being summoned to a different room. The other four trainers and I went in to see the Professor. As we came into the room I stared at Professor Krane who looked terribly stressed.

"Hmm, well with Shadow Pokémon around again, who could blame him?" I thought.

"Erm, everybody knows about the Shadow Pokemon terrorizing the world, right?"

I nodded, it was an easy question.

"Yes, well, about this matter, you guys are needed greatly. Shadow Pokemon are attacking the world like they did so many years ago and the region of Orre needs powerful trainers to fight back and help stop the criminals behind this mess. I think that these trainers are you. You show powerful trainer skills just with the one pokemon you have with you right now." Krane said, and we nodded once more.

"If powerful skills count as doing extra homework about battling when I was in school." I thought. But as I realized the seriousness of the matter, I shook the thought from my mind, and, instead, thought "Well, I have learned some important techniques in school and from my old neighbor…And hey, provided that I'm not required to do much physical work…" But I shook that thought from my mind also, "What am I thinking, of course this will be hard work! Wonder how we can do this…"

My stream of thoughts was abruptly interrupted by Professor Krane.

"Then you need to do something for me first. The invention that will help you in your upcoming journey is being worked on in GateonPort. You must pick it up and come back here for me to show you how it works. It is in the Machine Shop, okay?"

I already thought we had nodded quite a bit, but we did once again, to show we understood.

"This is no time for play. Get the device and come straight back."

I had already figured out there was no time for play. The real question was when would be the time for play?

"Well, here we go, once out that door, it's the beginning of, dare I say it, an adventure!"

I had another flow of emotions as I walked through that doorway, fear, happiness, excitement, but, yeah I'll admit it, mostly fear.

 

[~SilverSoul]

To Lostt: Here's some good advice for your adventure: Pack up double the bandaids. Krauss is gonna need them. :)

To SuperJ-GOF: There is no time for play. I can't wait to see how you take this and whether you will follow it or not.

Chapter 1: The Big Meeting

Ace was outside with Queen, his loyal Eevee. He picked up a stick, threw it as far as he could, and the small fox-like creature would sprint after it. The simple smell of everything calmed him down. He remembered the train ride over to the lab. Tiring, but a bit scary, as it was abuzz with chatter of the return of the shadow Pokemon.

Ace really didnt worry about it as much as he should have, it was really nothing since he had Queen around. She was like his personal guard, bound to protect him from any bad things. He smiled as he saw her bound back to him, the stick clamped firmly in her jaws. She jumped and let the stick go in Ace's hand.

Behind him, a screen door opened, a small man with big glasses and a mustache popped out.

"Jack, if you don't mind, we would like to get started..." He said in one of those nerdy-squeaky voices. Ace flinched at the sound of his real name. It was given to him by his parents, whom he brutally hated. He didnt care much for his last name either, King.

He reluctantly began to slowly walk inside, annoyed at why he was summoned here in the first place. Why should he have to interrupt his life just to save some incapable people? It was beyond him.

He sat down in a chair, next to other kids his age. He wondered what they used to do, how this interruption affected their life. He pushed to the back of his mind as the Professor began to talk.

"As you all know..." The words drifted away.

Ace was in a black room. Not much of a room...but an opening. Ace was blind, he could not see through the thick darkness. He reached around for Queen, but there was nobody. Slowly, light began to ebb. A dim picture of a indisputable Pikachu was sitting with his family, eating a makeshift dinner of berries and herbs.

A pair of red eyes loomed in the darkness, catching Pikachu and his family unaware. Ace saw this forthcoming danger, trying to warn the small mouse. He could not hear his voice, just the happy chuckling and laughs of the Pikachu family.

It just happened that the pair of red eyes had an owner. An Absol. Not like the one his friend had, named Tornado. No, this held an odd aura, almost demonic like. This did not look like it was going to end well. The Absol sprang from its darkness, terrifying the family.

They tried to run, but one by one the dark aura swept over them, infecting them. There was not a possible way to warn them or to stop it. The last Pikachu ran, crying for help. Ace tried to run toward it, but he couldn't move. He watched in terror as the Absol swept over it. The dark aura seemed to be alive, to swim. It came closer to Ace, frightening him. It swept over him, and the dim light of the family was lost. All was dark yet again.

"Understand?" The Professor said, pleased. Ace felt a pang of surprise. He was in reality now, realizing that he had just missed his entire list of instructions.

The meeting had been disbanded, people packing up their things and leaving. A short boy with sunglasses came up to him. "I saw you asleep, we are headed to Port Gateon." He walked away after that.

Ace began to pack up what little he had, he had been in poverty all his life, knowing nothing but the life of crime. He looked at Queen, sympathetically staring at him. He smiled, and so Queen smiled. At least he would have a friend on the way there.
