I'm sorry, all of the spots are filled :/ If the person doesn't post their SU for Abra, I'll let you know though

 

[Jake♫]

Alright, let's post my sign-up shall we?

Name: Jake Samuels
Gender- Male
Age- 15

Appearance- Jake stands at about 5'8", weighs around 135 pounds, and has long, curly blond hair. He wears a tan sweatshirt, and dark brown pants. He carries a Rosary in his pocket with him at all times. He carries his wallet in his back pants pocket, which holds a picture of himself and his family in it. Although there is a lack of money in his wallet, which defeats the purpose of it, he has it with him for personal reasons. Occasionally, he takes off his sweatshirt, revealing a plain white tee shirt, which usually is dirty, as it is rarely shown. He has deep blue eyes, thin brow eyebrows, and big dimples which are seen quite often. He has a medium build, so he is not the strongest guy around.​

Personality- Jake is rarely seen serious, and is always laughing, not only at others, but at his own jokes, and occasionally his own blunders. He is a complete klutz, and always trips and runs into random objects (most notably, glass doors). He is extremely sarcastic, so it makes it even harder to believe what he says. Although he is in touch with himself, he finds it hard to get close to others because of his humorous nature. Most women stay at the "just friends" stage with him, because they don't think he will take a relationship seriously. He has a deep care for his family, who he left behind to start on his Pokemon journey. He keeps a picture of his family in his wallet to remind him of home. He and his sister were very close, and she is the main reason he keeps his wallet with him. When his anger shows, it isn't much to be scared of. He is usually all talk and no action, but occasionally he will act upon those who upset him.​

History- Jake lived a troubled childhood. His father left his family when he was only 5 years old. Although he was the youngest, it impacted him the least. His sister was 12 at the time, and she had a deep bond with her father. It hit her hard when he left, and she thought she couldn't carry on. She took her own life selfishly, blaming her father for her depression. With those two events happening so closely in his life, Jake seemed hopelessly lost. His mother seemed to be in the same condition, leaving to family members within a month. She blamed herself for the situation, and she rarely talked with Jake out of shame. Eventually, she did move on, but it took around 6 years. With a picture taken when Jake was 3 years old, he decided that it was necessary to help support his mother. When he reached age 15, he decided he would catch the first Pokemon he saw, and try to gain money for his mother. When that day came, he bought a Pokeball, ran outside into the nearest patch of tall grass, and looked for a Pokemon. That idea was brought to reason quickly, as Professor Oak saw him and decided to help him out with a Pokemon.

Starter: Gastly

Other: None

RP Sample:

Spoiler:

Tactical knew that strategy of using an attack at close range, Jake had done it enough times with Hypnotic to predict it. Those words "Wait for me to say when," are all to obvious. Jake knew what to do.

"Jump over it Tactical!!!"

Jake saw Elliot tremble a little bit, as did Charmeleon. That's exactly what Jake wanted though: That fear is the key to the battle, shake someone up enough and they will second guess themselves until they lose.

Tactical leaped right over the Flamethrower directed at him, and positioned itself straight down so that the Horn Attack could do maximum damage to Charmeleon. Elliot didn't react fast enough, and Tactical landed a direct hit to the head. Charmeleon was knocked into the ground, and it pulled itself back up to the ground.

"Alright Iggy! Use Smokescreen!!!" Elliot commanded.

Suddenly, thick black smoke filled the entire arena. No one --including the referee-- could see what was happening. Jake called out to Tactical to be on its feet so it had a chance to move away. All of the sudden, Charmeleon came out with a furious Scratch attack that shot Tactical all the way to the Fire Arena. Jake knew what was going on, as it was the strategy he just used on that Oddish. He had to get away from that fire and towards the water. Tactical didn't have any real type advantage at the fields, but he knew how to use that ice to his advantage.


"Get up Tactical!! Now use Poison Sting on Charmeleon, in the right direction!!"

The right direction? Elliot thought. OH CRAP!!! This time I know what to do though!!

"Charmeleon, avoid the needles and hit it with an Ember attack directly at him!!"

Charmeleon gracefully avoided the Poison Sting, and it shot its Ember into the flying needles. The collison exploded, and brought up a huge cloud of smoke. Jake was shocked, but Elliot was all too ready. When the smoke cleared, Charmeleon had Tactical forced forward with Charmeleon's Scratch attack, over and over again. Tactical couldn't take any more damage.

"HORN ATTACK!!!"

"Dodge it Iggy!!!"

Charmeleon ignored Elliot for some reason. It just stood in place, waiting for Tactical.

What an idiot. Jake thought. He thought he had it locked up in the bag. All of the sudden, Charmeleon used Flamethrower directly on Tactical, within a 2 foot radius. Jake was stunned, as he couldn't believe he didn't see it coming. Tactical fell over, and it couldn't get up.

"Charmeleon is the victor of Round 2! Next victory is the match! Return your Pokemon and send your next ones out!"

Jake swiftly sent out Aether, while Elliot sent out his Pikachu. Neither had any advantage from the field, and it seemed both would try to stick to the Grass field. Jake wanted to shake that up though.

"Sand Attack Aether!"

Jake used the Sand Attack to get Pikachu off of its balance, where Aether could easily move it towards the Rock arena. Electricity failed on the ground, and Jake wanted to use that knowledge to his advantage. Elliot clearly didn't seem to catch on. Pikachu was hit directly, and it tried to wipe the sand of its eyes. Before long, Jake ordered Aether to use Quick Attack upon Pikachu, which knocked it directly into the Rock arena. Jake knew he had the advantage there, and he decided he was going to use it.

Dang it, he's using the field again! Oh well, what he doesn't know is that I have a little trick up my sleeve...Elliot thought, although a tad maniacal.

"Quick Attack Toni!!"

Pikachu shot around the battlefield, and it didn't take long at all for Aether and Jake to lose sight of it. It was way too fast for Aether, as fast as it is already. Jake heard Elliot order another command, but he didn't know what. He saw a white light moving around, and he could tell where Pikachu was. Suddenly, the rocks were being smashed all over the arena at Aether. Pikachu was using Iron Tail of all attacks! Jake had no clue what to do!! Rocks repeadetly badgered Aether all over the place, until it was knocked to the ground. Aether mustered all of its strength to stand back up.

I can't keep up with that rat's speed, and its attacks are too fast. I guess I'll have to just pound it all out...Jake thought.


"Use Quick Attack Aether!"

Aether shot right towards Pikachu, but Elliot didn't command it to move for some reason. The attack landed directly, and Pikachu was launched into a rock, and smashed through it. Aether just sat there. Suddenly, little sparks were shocking Aether.

Perfect! Static is killing him! Now it has no speed, and this is locked up for me. Elliot thought happily.

**** this isn't good! I can't even move now. I don't know what to do!

"Thunderbolt Toni!!"

Jake ordered Aether to move, but it had no more energy left. The Thunderbolt used Aether as a conductor to the ground, and Aether collapsed. It tried to stand up, and it reached its feet. It swiftly fell back down.

"Round 3 goes to Elliot and Pikachu!! Elliot is the winner!!!"

Jake walked up to Aether, gave it a hug, and returned to its Pokeball. Pikachu hopped onto Elliot's shoulder, just like Aether does with Jake. Elliot extended his hand, and Jake shook it.

"That was a great match!" Elliot said.

"I agree. My first loss, but at least it was fun," Jake said with a little grudge. He couldn't believe he was beaten. He was out of the tournament, and he had no way to get both of his Pokemon to evolve.

Jake walked back to the Pokemon Center, and had his Pokemon healed swiftly. He returned to his room to think about the battle, and what to do in the future.

That kid is going down next time...

Now, RP BEGIN!!

Shelby was blissfully asleep. She was dreaming about all sorts of different things, Pokémon included. She dreamed about getting her very first one—a Cyndaquil. A lazy grin stretched across her face as she rolled over and mumbled, hugging her pillow. She was battling a wild Pidgey and she was about to catch it. She just threw her Pokeball and it began to move until—

"Char!" That was her only warning. A heavy claw smacked down on her head. Shelby cried out and shot up, rubbing her head and glaring at her brother's Charizard. Charizard looked at her happily, seemingly oblivious to the pain he had just inflicted. Shelby grumbled under her breath and got out of bed, grumbling more as she walked around and prepared for her journey.

"Haha, I see Charizard got you up and moving," Shelby's brother, Caleb, commented when she finally made her way into the yard that would lead her to the road. Caleb was feeding his many Pokémon. Shelby's eyes narrowed at her older brother. "Oh don't be cranky, you get a Pokémon today. Oh, and guess what else?" Caleb asked. Shelby's eyes narrowed more. Caleb was never, ever that cheerful. He was always stoic and quiet.

"What?" Shelby asked carefully. She moved her pack to her other shoulder as she spoke.

"I heard Varek's come back to the Johto region," Caleb said. Shelby's eyes widened slightly. Varek? She wondered, thinking of her eldest brother. "He phoned and said he'd be around now that he's got "the most powerful team he can manage"," Caleb quoted, rolling his eyes. "I'll bet you can kick his—"

"Why does this make you so happy again?" Shelby asked carefully.

"Heh…" Caleb smirked slightly. "Because I want you to battle him someday, and I want to know how it goes," Caleb stated. "I tried battling him, and I failed. I want to see someone beat him. I've heard from around that his team is Typhlosion, Dragonite, Luxray, Espeon, Lapras, and a Mightyena," Caleb said. "I'm not sure about the Mightyena though, seeing how I don't know how he could make it that strong. I don't care if you can't go to other regions—you need to train your hardest and make the best team you possibly can." Caleb looked at her seriously. "Got me?"

"Yeah, don't worry," Shelby replied confidently. "I'll have one of the best teams I can, promise!" she stated. Caleb nodded with a small smile on his face. He walked over to her and shoved her towards the gate, wishing her luck as he did. She turned around, mouth open, but before she could say anything he went inside, leaving his Pokémon to eat their breakfast. Shelby looked at the familiar house for a moment before she turned and began her walk to Elm's lab.

After a bit of walking, Shelby found herself at the front door. She knocked, and watched as the door slowly opened, revealing the professor himself. He invited her in. Shelby walked behind him. On his desk were a number of Pokeballs. He declared her as the first to be here, so she had a good selection. Shelby looked at all of them and then she turned to the professor. "Cyndaquil," was all she said.

"Alright, let me just get it…" the professor trailed off, grabbing one of the Pokeballs and handing it to her. "Oh! And before I forget, here are some Pokeballs as well as a Pokedex. Record the data of the Pokémon you see on there, please. It will be of great help to me," Professor Elm said. Shelby thanked him for the items and then walked out, wondering what her Cyndaquil was like. She decided she'd find out soon enough, so she brought it out of its Pokeball.

Spoiler:

Good post. Only downside to the chapter thing is that I need to wait for more people to post :P

 

[Underoos]

Cyndaquil appeared out of his Pokeball within moments. He yawned and looked around, then looked up at Shelby. She crouched down and eyed him carefully. He looks slightly bigger than the Cyndaquil on TV, Shelby thought, pulling out her Pokedex. She looked under stats and realized Cyndaquil was only about a pound bigger. Shelby finally settled on the fact that TV disproportioned a lot. Shelby then moved on to the attack section, checking out what moves her new Cyndaquil might know. Hmm…tackle and growl, huh? Seems like good first moves, Shelby thought.

"Hi Cyndaquil, I'm your new trainer," Shelby said. Cyndaquil looked at her. Shelby smiled slightly. Cyndaquil cocked his head to the side. Then it looked around with an almost awe filled expression on his face. Shelby laughed at this. "You're pretty cute, you know?" Shelby muttered, more to herself. After those words, she pushed up from her crouched position and looked on at…uh…Shelby blinked. Is that Route 29? She wondered. Well, Shelby decided if it wasn't, it was going to be until she could get a map.

"Cynda?" Cyndaquil asked. It trotted off, already heading down the route. Shelby blinked slowly, and then ran after her Pokémon. She caught up to him soon enough, and when she did she scooped him up. Cyndaquil looked up at her, his long nose touching her chin. "Cynda, Cyndaquil!" it exclaimed happily. Shelby blinked a few more times and then began to laugh.

"Well, let's get going," Shelby stated. She looked back at Newbark Town with a sad look in her eyes. Cyndaquil looked up at her when he noticed she wasn't moving, and scrambled in her arms until he found himself on her shoulders—well, sort of. His head and arms were resting on her shoulders as he tried to pull himself up, but the rest of him…wasn't. Shelby looked at him out of the corner of her eye. Cyndaquil poked her neck with his small arm. Shelby stayed silent, and then grinned. "We can do it, can't we buddy?" she asked the little Pokémon. Cyndaquil nodded and said his name happily, finally making it all the way on her shoulders. He held onto her hair and sat down. "Aren't you going to fall?" Shelby asked before they started to walk. Cyndaquil shook his head furiously. Shelby shook her head, but there was a smile on her face.

Shelby began to walk then, leaving Newbark Town and not returning for who knew how long. She was slightly saddened by the fact of leaving her favored brother and his Pokémon behind, but she was also glad that she could start her own journey. Little did she know, it would be much tougher…her first battle was one she'd never forget.

"HEY YOU!"

At the loud yell, Shelby whipped around. Cyndaquil almost fell off of her shoulders but he managed to hang on. The boy standing behind her was sneering at her and Cyndaquil, a Pokeball clenched in his fist tightly. "…Me?" Shelby asked, pointing a thumb towards herself. The boy nodded.

"You stupid trainers getting stupid Pokémon from the stupid Professor," the boy growled, teeth clenching. Shelby's eyebrows shot up, what the crap is his problem? "Battle me! I'll show you just how dumb those Pokémon he gives out are!" the boy shouted, pointing at Cyndaquil. Shelby's eyes narrowed and she glared at the boy. She glanced at Cyndaquil. "Chicken?" the boy asked smugly.

"Nope. Let's go Cyndaquil!" Shelby stated loudly. Cyndaquil nodded and leaped off her shoulder, landing perfectly on the ground. The boy grinned in a cynical way and tossed his Pokeball up in the air. There was a flash of light, and a purple snake-like Pokémon appeared. Shelby's breath caught in her throat. It wasn't the exact Pokémon she feared, but it was close enough. "Ugh…" she clenched her teeth as she paled visibly. Cyndaquil looked at her in confusion.

"What's wrong? Don't like my Ekans?" the boy taunted. He laughed. "M'kay! Ekans, get that Cyndaquil with leer!"

Ekans hissed and stared down Cyndaquil. Shelby blinked, unsure of what it was doing. She made the mistake of looking into the snake's eyes herself. Shelby fell backwards, a hand going in front of her face. The boy looked at her and laughed, stating that she was just a big chicken. Cyndaquil looked away from Ekans somehow and stared at Shelby. Suddenly the flames on his back lit.

"Cyndaquuuuuuuuuuuuuil!" Cyndaquil said angrily. It charged towards Ekans in a tackle attack. Shelby snapped her eyes shut, trying to shake it off. All she could see were the snake's eyes. Her eyes opened, and she gasped. Ekans had wrapped its way around Cyndaquil and was squeezing the small Pokémon. Shelby clenched her teeth, unable to believe that she was doing this in her first battle. If Caleb saw me…she looked at the ground. "Cynda! Q-quil!" Cyndaquil choked out.

"Ngh…" Shelby glared at the ground, and then pushed herself up. The boy was smirking ear to ear by now, assured of his own win. He ordered a finishing attack. "Cyndaquil!" Shelby shouted. She squeezed her eyes shut. Cyndaquil made a sound, and then there was a painful hiss. Shelby looked and saw that Cyndaquil had smacked Ekans in the head with the side of his nose. The attack had hit Ekan's eye.

"Shoot, Ekans!" the boy shouted. "Fine, get it with another wrap!" he called, pointing towards Cyndaquil.

"No!" Shelby shouted. "Cyndaquil, hit it with tackle!" Shelby called. Cyndaquil nodded and swiftly dodged the wrap and slammed into Ekan's side. "Good job, now finish it off with another ta—"

There was a flash of red light, and suddenly Ekans was gone. Shelby blinked and looked at the boy. He huffed and turned his head, his shaggy black hair flying in front of his face. Shelby's nose wrinkled; something wasn't quite right about this boy. "I'm Damien. Don't forget it either." With those words, he ran off into the distance. Shelby stared after him, completely confused at what had just happened. Cyndaquil looked rather confused himself.

"What was that all about?" Shelby asked.

"Cynda…?" Cyndaquil blinked. He shrugged it off and ran to Shelby, tugging on her pantleg. She looked down and saw that he clearly wanted to hitch a ride. Shelby rolled her eyes and picked him up, settling him down on her shoulders once more. Shelby spared another glance to where the boy had been, and then continued walking.

After about half an hour, Shelby let out a breath and half collapsed on the ground. This route seems like it'll never end! She thought in exasperation. Cyndaquil yawned and curled up in her lap, closing his eyes. Shelby set her elbow on her knee and rested her chin in her upturned palm. She observed the road and noted that it didn't seem like they were anywhere close to Cherrygrove. Shelby was about to grab a sandwich to eat from her pack, when the grass close to them rustled. Cyndaquil shot up, instantly alert. Shelby paused, hand on a sandwich.

"Ele!"

Shelby looked over to the tall grass in surprise. Moments later, a small Pokémon that was yellow and black walked out. Shelby dropped the sandwich, all hunger forgotten. She recognized this Pokémon as an Elekid, the pre-evolution of an Electabuzz. Shelby grabbed her Pokedex, checking the Pokémon's moves. Quick attack and thundershock? Shelby thought, glancing at Elekid. This'll be tough.

"Are you ready for another battle, Cyndaquil?" Shelby asked. Cyndaquil hopped up, nodding as the flames on his back sprang to life. Shelby grinned and looked at the field. Elekid had gotten into some sort of a stance. "Let's start things off with a growl attack," Shelby stated. Cyndaquil nodded and growled as ferociously as he could at the wild Elekid. Elekid shivered slightly, but took no other notice. "Now let's go in with tackle," Shelby said. Cyndaquil swiftly moved in with a tackle attack. That's when Elekid's arm began to rotate, electricity gathering in the top of its head.

Moments before Cyndaquil's attack struck, Elekid released the stored energy in a thundershock. The attack jolted through Cyndaquil, making the Pokémon cry out as it rolled backwards into the grass. Shelby cried out and turned swiftly, looking at her injured Pokémon. Cyndaquil panted as he got up, still tired from the previous battle. Shelby was afraid if they didn't end this fast, it would be over. She looked back at the Elekid.

It looks very powerful, she thought, taking in its size and judging the electric attack it had just released. Maybe too powerful for us…no, I can't think like that, she shook her head, dismissing the negative thoughts. "Cyndaquil, go for another growl!" Shelby called, figuring that staying away from it would be their best bet. Cyndaquil growled again, and it was stronger than the first. Elekid flinched, its expression changing. "Now again!"

"Bree!" Elekid called. It charged at Cyndaquil in what was obviously a quick attack. Shelby smirked, glad it had finally decided to go for it. She then ordered a tackle. The two Pokémon collided, dust kicking up around them as they did. They both flew back. Elekid smashed into a tree while Cyndaquil rolled backwards. That's it! Shelby thought excitedly. She then knew what she had to do.

"Cyndaquil, tackle it before it can recover!" Shelby called, pointing towards Elekid who was slowly getting up. Cyndaquil nodded and rammed it back against the tree. Elekid cried out, wincing. Shelby ordered another tackle, but as she did Elekid began to charge once more. "Hurry Cyndaquil!" Shelby shouted over the static crackling noise of the electricity. Cyndaquil smacked into Elekid, but when it did Shelby saw the electricity fly loose. Cyndaquil cried out as he was shocked again, getting thrown back away from Elekid.

"Cynda…" Cyndaquil said, getting up slowly and shakily. Shelby looked from her Pokémon to the wild one, and saw that Elekid was now panting. Other than that, it didn't look terribly tired. Oh man, this really isn't good at all, Shelby thought. "Cyndaquil!" Cyndaquil cried. It fell to the ground, eyes closed. Shelby's eyes went wide. Elekid charged, ready to finally finish it off.

"Cyndaquil, get up!" Shelby cried. Cyndaquil didn't move. Elekid reached Cyndaquil and attacked it, knocking them both back. "No…" Shelby hung her head. She didn't know how she'd make it through the routes without a Pokémon…

"QUIL!" Cyndaquil cried suddenly. Shelby's eyes snapped open and she looked over. Cyndaquil had burst to life, the flames on his back bigger and higher than ever. Shelby's eyebrows shot up at this sudden development.

"Alright! Cyndaquil hurry and use tackle!" Shelby said.

"Cynda…QUIIIIL!" Cyndaquil cried, smashing against Elekid. They knocked back into the dirt, kicking up a tiny cloud. Cyndaquil attacked again and again, pushing Elekid back every time it did. Shelby watched in awe. Cyndaquil's got total guts, she thought.

Finally Cyndaquil stopped, panting heavily and almost relentlessly. He looked on the verge of collapsing. Elekid had one arm planted firmly against the ground, but that was the only part of the Pokémon that was moderately up. It slowly tried to get up, but then fell back down. Shelby scrambled in her bag and finally produced a Pokeball. She glanced at the tired Pokémon and then threw it, watching as it was engulfed in a bright flash of light.

The Pokeball shook violently, which seemed to last as long as the route (Lol). Finally, it came to rest! You have caught a Male Elekid. Quite large from its age, and with some power too!

 

[sasuneuchiha]

Sam's eyes fluttered as the morning light shone through his window. Standing up, he walked over to his mirror, where he had a note taped up about today's plans. Instead of a note, it was a calendar. The day's date was circled. Reading the text, Sam suddenly realized what today was. Running to his closet and putting on a shirt, jacket and jeans, he ran downstairs towards his kitchen table, where a hot meal was already out waiting for him. His mother stood by it with a backpack in hand. "Sam, you're late," his mother laughed. Sam smiled. She knew just how much this meant to him. Ever since they had forced him to move to Johto, he had actually felt better. Like there was an aura of happiness around him ever since.
"Thanks, mom," Sam said, sitting down. All his favorites. Eggs, bacon and even pineapple. She knew he'd want the perfect meal today. Sam slowly ate all of it, not leaving a single bite untouched. He could tell his mom was happy. He rarely if ever ate all of his food.
"Here's your pack! Its got clean clothes, some snacks and a sleeping bag in case you get stuck outdoors sometime," his mother said, handing him the bag. Sam could tell there was more in it than that just by holding it, but that'd have to wait for later. It felt almost...odd not having her along, though. Not his mother, but a girl he knew once. It had felt this was back in Kanto, too, but...
Sam thanked her and walked outside. He hadn't seen his father for a long time, not since he headed off to work here in Johto. Still, he might find him now. Sam walked out his door and ran to the lab. Today felt particularly different. Everyone seemed happier. Happier that all the little children get a chance to reach for the stars. Sam loved days like this. He quickly ran to Elm's lab. He hoped he could get his hands on a Cyndaquil or a Totodile. He's heard of great trainers with them. They reminded him of the pokemon he'd trained with way back. But they were all back with Professor Oak in Kanto. He was greeted at the door by someone in a lab coat. "You must be Sam. Come with me," the man said, showing Sam back towards another man in a lab coat, who Sam recognized as Professor Elm.
"Ah! Sam! You're here for you starter, then?" Elm asked. Sam nodded excitedly. Today was finally the day. He could finally be a pokemon trainer.
"Wonderful. Here you are," Elm said, handing Sam a pokeball.
"Thank you! So, I'll just be on my way then..." Sam said, walking towards the door again.
"Oh no you don't! There's more that you have to pick up before you leave! Come with me to the back," Elm said, guiding Sam to the back of the lab. In the back, there were many machines with rapidly flashing lights. Sam wondered what they were did.
"Here you are. Take these," Elm said, handing Sam a metal box and five metal balls, which Sam recoginized as pokeballs. Looking at the box closely, he recognized it as a pokedex. He remembered these. His last one had a lot of data on it. A lot more than this one did, for sure.
"Thanks! Well, I'm out," Sam said, leaving the lab. He was quickly outside in the morning sun. His first destination was route one. But first, he tossed out his pokeball. A little cream colored pokemon with green dots around its neck and a leaf on its head came out.
"Chika?" it said, looking at Sam. He whipped out his pokedex and pointed at the pokemon.
"Chikorita. This pokemon is well known for the leaf above its head is handy for both shade and nutrients," his pokedex said. Sam smiled. They definately get along. If they just worked together.
"Hiya, Chikorita. I'm Sam. We're gonna be partners. You remind me so much of my very first pokemon. Turtwig. Well! Way back, I gave all my pokemon nicknames after a point. Let's start with yours! Maybe...Chika?" Sam asked. Chika growled happily, showing its approval. Sam smiled happily at how nicely it had taken to its name.
"Let's go, then! Into the adventure that awaits us!" Sam yelled, running out onto route one. The two hadn't been moving long when they were stopped by a young boy.
"Hey! Have you seen a girl about my height around here? She was supposed to meet me here," the boy said.
"Nope. No one like that. Say, you look kinda strong. Wanna battle while you wait?" Sam asked. The boy smiled and nodded, tossing a pokeball forward. An orange lizard came out and looked at Sam, eyes glaring. Sam quickly recognized it as a Charmander, but for the sake of the pokedex project, he pointed his pokedex at it. It spouted some useless crap about how Charmander dies if its tail flame goes out, but Sam didn't want Chika near it, as it'd get burned. Instead, Chika walked forward looking nervous. This was its first battle. Sam knew he had to cheer it up.
"Come on, Chika! You can do this! Let's go for it with..." Sam said, looking down at his pokedex. Tackle and Growl were its only two moves, so he would have to make due.
"Use Growl!" Sam yelled. Chika growled cutely, which seemed to make Charmander feel merciful. It obviously didn't wanna hurt Chika too much now. Chika had a lot of tricks in it, Sam gave her that.
"Use Scratch!" the boy yelled. Charmander recluctantly charged forward and took a swipe at Chika, but didn't seem to do much. Sam smiled at the reluctance. It was really gonna cost that boy.
"Show it a real attack, Chika! Tackle it!" Sam yelled. Chika charged forward and hit Charmander with the entirety of its force. Charmander seemed confused by this sudden force, as it flew backwards into a tree. Chika seemed to be enjoying this. It charged in for another shot before Sam gave the command to hit it again. Charmander was hit and flew again.
"Okay then, Chika! Let's finish this off with one more Tackle!" Sam yelled. The boy didn't seem to like this, though, as his Charmander flew forward and hit Chika with an angry scratch attack, which seemed to cause great damage to Chika. It flew backwards and hit the ground, injured. Sam could see that it was in trouble now.
"Run at it!" Sam yelled. Chika got up and ran, not wanting to seem weak. It was charging at Charmader, who charged forward with a scratch attack. Sam knew what he had to do.
"Now! Jump over it!" Sam yelled. Chika jumped straight up as Charmander hit the ground and its leg with Scratch. Then, coming back down, Chika fell on Charmander, knocking it out.
"Yes!" Sam said happily. He'd finally won. The boy reluctantly recalled ins pokemon and went looking for his litte girlfriend. Sam decided to look for some food in the bag he had and quickly found some food. A loaf of bread. Sam pulled a bit off and fed some to Chika and ate some himself, enjoying the morning sun.

When I said seperate your posts, I meant space out all of the dialogue and paragraphs. It took more effort to read that than I've ever read anything before :P And the battle was fine :)

Chikorita grew to Level 7!

 

[Century]

Century was awake the night before he got his first pokemon like a child was awake the night before Christmas. After running away from his parents in Kanto, he has found refuge in a small shack in Johto.

Time to get my first pokemon! He gleams to himself, sitting on his bed. He glances at his clock.

10:00

Time to go! Century thinks to himself as he quickly makes sure he's wearing all the clothes required. His attire consists of his white shirt under his leather jacket, and a pair of ripped up blue jeans. His necklace of the boulder badge dangles from his neck.

He quickly runs from his top floor bedroom down the stairs, and into the kitchen, before raiding the refrigerator and grabbing a large container of orange juice. He drinks it quickly, most of the container is gone with one big swig. He looks around.

Nobodys home.

He shrugs his shoulders, quickly running out of his house and towards Professor Elm's lab, where he would recieve everything he would need for his journey. His leather jacket holds in heat from the hot sun that is looking down upon him, as he quickly runs to Elm's lab, something he had dreamed about many times.

"You must be Century!" Professor Elm says as soon as Century enters the lab. He nods. "Great! I have everything here you need to start on your pokemon quest! Are you ready?" He grins widely.

Century nods, and Professor Elm hands Century his pokedex first. "This is your pokedex. You'll use this to record individual data about each pokemon for me." Century takes it from the outstretched hand of the Professor before putting it in the breast pocket of his jacket.

Century's eyes gaze over to the table, seeing that a few pokeballs containing pokemon have already been taken. "These are your pokeballs that you'll use to capture pokemon on your quest." The professor gets Century's attention once more, handing Century some red and white pokeballs, which he puts in his backpack.

The professor reaches into his desk and grabs a pokeball with Century's name written on it. "This is your starter pokemon. I think you'll like him." The professor gleams.

"Thank you professor, I really appreciate this." Century nods.

"Just go and become a great trainer Century. I think you have what it takes." The professor says in a monotone voice, but a smile on his face says that he means it.

Century nods and spins the opposite direction, beginning to walk out of the lab. Century examines his pokeball which Elm had handed to him, the sunlight glimmering of.

"Alright, lets see what you are!" Century yells as he throws the pokeball, "Lets see what you are!" The pokeball hits the ground and rolls, before a red light emits and a pokemon looking like a small fighter comes out from the ball.

"Tyrogue!" It says, as Century pulls out his pokedex from his breast pokcet to see what pokemon he had gotten.

"Tyrogue, the scuffle pokemon. It is famous for its eagerness to fight and always nurses injuries from challenging larger foes." Its says mechanically, and Century smiles.

"Why hello there Tyrogue!" He looks down at his newly acquired pokemon, which nods back at him. "I'm Century." He sticks out a hand as he leans down and his Tyrogue looks at him before deciding to shake his hand.

"Good. Now we can get this journey started," Century begins, "We're going to be a great team, alright?" He looks down at his Tyrogue and nods confidently. Tyrogue nods, and stands in a ready to fight pose.

"You wanna challenge?" Century looks down at his Tyrogue, who perks up at the mention of a challenge.

"Let's go to the outside of town and see what we can find." Century nods, and the two start for Route 29, right outside of New Bark Town..

[Underoos]

As the Pokeball slowly came to a stop, Shelby grinned widely. She looked proudly at her tired Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil panted and walked over to her, collapsing at her feet. Shelby picked her little Pokémon up and then walked over to Elekid's Pokeball. She picked it up and carefully set Cyndaquil on her shoulders. He yawned and snuggled against her neck. Shelby grabbed her backpack and hooked Elekid's Pokeball to it. She then opened her bag and grabbed one of the sandwiches she had begun to eat earlier.

So that would have been someone's sight had they seen her. She was walking whilst eating a sandwich, with her wounded Cyndaquil fast asleep on her shoulder. Shelby sighed, heavily. This route…it still hasn't ended yet! She thought in a brief moment of exasperation. There was a rustle in the grass, and a Pidgey came flapping out of nowhere. Shelby inwardly groaned, unsure that her Pokémon would be able to battle this time. Then she remembered she had an Elekid now. Alright! She thought, pulling out Elekid's Pokeball. Pidgey stood waiting, looking keen and ready. Shelby tossed the Pokeball, and Elekid appeared in a bright flash of white light.

"Breebree!" Elekid called. Pidgey cooed and then suddenly bolted towards Elekid. Shelby ordered a thundershock, knowing it would be very effective as soon as it struck. Elekid's arm swung quicker in this battle, and then suddenly the electricity was shot out at Pidgey. Pidgey cried out as it got zapped by the bolt. Pidgey's wings wavered and it crashed to the ground. Shelby let out a breath, realizing that Pidgey was slightly weary now.

"Ok Elekid let's try for…" Shelby trailed off, thinking of an attack when Pidgey suddenly got up and flew away. Shelby's eye twitched. Why does it seem like, she wondered in half amusement and half annoyance, my battles never get finished? She sighed and glanced at Elekid who looked rather confused himself. "Well, let's keep going then," Shelby stated. She recalled Elekid and then glanced on her shoulder. Cyndaquil was still asleep, not having been disturbed by the battle.

[FONT=&quot]Shelby[/FONT][FONT=&quot] continued on the route once more, this time her feet were dragging slightly. Just when she was about to give up hope and simply camp outside for the night, she saw the lights of Cherrygrove City in the distance. A grin broke out on her face as she held Cyndaquil and ran towards the city, intent on getting her two Pokémon healed up and telling her brother the results of her first day.[/FONT]

[soramararu]

Name: Nathan Jones
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Personality: Nathan is the calm collective type. He hates to be around others and keeps to himself. His parents wish that this changes as he travels around.
Appearance: Nathan is about 5 foot 4 and weighs 123 pounds. He has long medium black hair and has hazel green eyes. He wears glasses so he can see when he has to read. He has a scar above his left eye from when he was 5 and attacked by a scyther herd. He wears a white t-shirt and a white jacket with skulls. He wears black pants and wears white tennis shoes.
History: Nathan was born in the Sinnoh region in Hearthome City to Luann Jones and Shane Jones. When he was five years old, he and his older brother Michael, left to the forest beside there house, they were going to play a game together. While they were playing, Nathan wondered off on his own. He wondered off into a herd of Scyther. He tried to get away but he was surrounded by them. He heard his brothers call's but couldn't yell back. The leader came and attacked Nathan. Then his brother found him and the herd left. He took him home and he stayed in bed for awhile. When Nathan was 10, he was accepted into a trainer school in Jubilife City. When Nathan turned 15, he and his family moved to New Bark Town. He got in trouble because of problems at school and he had to move to Pallet Town with his older brother Jake.
Post Sample: (This is when he was five years old, it is his history from when he was five.)
"Nathan, do you want to go out and play by the house?" Jake said quietly to Nathan. Nathan looked up at his brother, "Sure" He said with a smile.
Nathan jumped out of his bed and ran into his moms bedroom. "Mom, guess what?" He asked jumping up and down.
"What Hon?" She asked. "Me and Jake are going to the forest to play today!" Nathan said, with a huge smile on his face.
"Be careful, there is supposed to be a herd of Scyther out in the field, try to stay-" Nathan was already out the door. "Jake!" Mom yelled.
Jake stumbled into the room. "Yes mom?" He asked, confused.
"Do not let Nathan out of your site, there is a herd of scyther out there."She said.
"yes mother" Jake said as he left the room. He turned the corner and walked into there pokemon room. "I think these six will do for today."
Jake took six pokeballs from the slots and ran out the door. Nathan was standing on the front porch waiting.
"What took you so long brother?" Nathan asked, sulking like. "Are we going or not?"
Jake looked at Nathan, "Yes, lets go" Jake said picking Nathan up and putting him on his back. "Hang on tight!"
Jake held Nathan to his back. He took off running for the forest. The wind was blowing rapidly. They ran by a few pokemon running away from the forest. Jake thought to himself, "I had better keep Nathan away from the Scyther"
"Big bro, are we almost there?"
"Yes Nathan, we are almost there." Jake said. It didn't take long for them to get into the forest.
Jake placed Nathan down next to him. "Here Nathan, pick three random pokeballs, then we can get ready" Jake said holding six pokeballs.
Nathan closed his eyes and grabbed 1 from his left and one from his right. Then he opened his eyes and grabbed another from his left. "I want to do something first" Nathan said. Placing the pokeballs next to the tree. "What are you doing Na-" It was to late, Nathan had already ran off. "Crap, if i don't catch him, the Scyther will!" Jake yelled. He picked up the pokeballs and yelled, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Charmander, Chimchar, Shinx, Treeko, and Houndour, search for Nathan. The six pokemon split into six places, They went to search for him.
Nathan was walking slowly. Then he heard it. RUSTLE, RUSTLE. He turned quickly to see what made the sound. He couldn't see anything. "W-W-Who is t-t-there?" He asked loudly. "SCY SCY SCYTHER!!" Was what made the sound. Nathan jumped back quickly. "What, was that?" He asked imself. Suddenly, everything went black.
~MEANWHILE~
Mom was fixing up some food when, CRASH!!! An explosion happened in the tree next door. She hurried to see what it was. IT was some kind of machine. She wrote a note saying :
Nathan and Jake, I will be back soon, I went shopping.
She walked outside again to see what it was more clearly. Then, an arm protruded from it and grabbed her. "LET ME GO!!" she yelled. Then, she was pulled into the machine. The machine shortly rose out of the tree and flew away.
~RETURN~
The darkness had cleared. Nathan opened his eyes and he was surrounded by pokemon, they were green and they looked like they had pincers on there hands. SCY SCYTHER!!! They cleared the way and in the center was a huge pokemon. It was the same as the others but it was different. It had scars all over its body. Suddenly, it launched an attack on the defensless nathan. The attack grazed his forehead, above his left eye.
"NATHAN!!!" Jake yelled. Nathan heard his brother calling him, but he couldn't reply.
Then the scyther fled. All of them were gone. As Nathan lay on the ground, holding his head, crying, his brother came running through the trees. All six pokemon with him. "Nathan, are you ok?" He asked, worried for his little brother. "Yea, I think-" Nathan has passed out.
"Crap, I guess you strained yourself, and look at you, your bleeding" Jake said picking up Nathan. All six pokemon had the bags and the pokeballs carrying them following Nathan and Jake. "Nathan, next time, stay with me."
Jake carried Nathan through the forest. The wind blew rapidly as they walked. Nathan slowly opened his eyes, he noticed he was back in the city. He slowly smiled and closed his eyes. After awhile, Jake got home with Nathan. He carried him inside and took him upstairs, trying not to wake him. He slid open his door at the end of the hall, and walked inside. He walked towards his bed and placed Nathan in his bed. Pulled the sheet over his body and walked out. He walked downstairs and towards the kitchen. He looked at the sheet of paper sitting on the counter. "Mom left?" Jake asked himself. He looked at the bottom of the paper and noticed it was ripped.
"Something isn't right." Jake thought to himself.
