Pokemon: Demons in paradise

[The warden]

Pokemon: Demons in paradise​

Plot


Far away from civilization lies an island that has been left almost completely untouched by humans for over three thousand years, it is located in the northern hemisphere of the Pokemon world and is separated from outside contact by hundreds of miles of sea. It's location means that the only humans to visit it in recent history have been the survivors of ship wrecks and the frequency of humans reaching the island is so low that the majority of Pokemon living on the island have never even heard of a human. Most of the species of Pokemon that exist inhabit the island there are however exceptions, Pokemon that require humans influences to exist cannot be found on the island, a full list of these Pokemon can be found bellow.


Now after three thousand years humans have returned to the island, and their intentions are not good. The humans that have managed to find the island are a group of roughly two hundred Pokemon poachers and although they are out numbered by an astronomical amount, the equipment they have with them more than makes up for it. On board their ship, which is currently moored off the coast of the island, they have the latest in modern weaponry, body armor, transport and communication as well as enough supplies to last well over three months. The poachers have been on the island for three days now and they have established a base camp in woodlands, on a small peninsular that juts off east coast of the island. Their scouts have managed to get about one hundred miles inland and have been sending back maps of the routes that the poachers' trucks can traverse back to the main group via long range laptop communication.


The Pokemon that inhabit this island were at first unsure what to think about the arrival of the humans, but it was not long before the poachers began to capture Pokemon by the truck load. Pokemon that escaped told their tales to other Pokemon and not fully understanding what the humans were soon named demons*. Not knowing a thing about machinery the Pokemon started inventing their own names for things, guns were called "iron thunder", body armor that the humans wore was misunderstood making the Pokemon think the poachers had skin like rocks. The more contact the Pokemon had with the poachers the less they seemed to understand about them.


On the day after the arrival of the poachers a council was called to decide what should be done, the elders across the whole of the eastern peninsular came together at twilight meadow to discuss the plan of action. Talking and voting went on all through the night until it was finally decided by a very small minority that the Pokemon should fight back. The three best Pokemon at fighting across the eastern peninsular Justice the Gallade, Kama the Lucario and Misfortune the Umbreon were all called for to scout out the enemy forces. It is now sunset on the third day and having engaged the enemy forces Justice and his companions are ready to give their report to the elders. An emergency meeting has been called and all Pokemon across the eastern peninsular are to attend because whatever the outcome of this meeting immediate action must be taken.


Types of poacher


Despite the poachers being extremely dishonest and undisciplined they have each seem to have a specific job. How this has came about is unknown.


Scouts


These are the first type of poacher that you will normally meet, and although they are fairly weak, their presence may mean a much larger group is heading your way. They normally carry only the bare essentials and can't survive for long with out meeting with a larger group to restock their supplies. Scouts usually travel in groups of up to three, they don't carry stunning weapons, instead they only carry live ammunition to be used in self defense only. The Pokemon that they use tend to be quite weak but fairly fast or have good senses to aid them in their work, for this reason they tend to be specialists in normal, flying, bug and electric Pokemon. If a scout doesn't have a Pokemon to ride then they may use quad-bike, motorbike or dune buggy for transport.


Hunters


Almost half of the poachers fit into this category, hunters make up the main forces of the poachers. They travel in large groups, normally as a convoy of jeeps and trucks. The purpose of the hunters is to capture Pokemon and return them to the ship, for this reason they have a full range of stun weapons as well as live ammunition. On a whole the hunters do not specialize in any one type, however individuals may be specialists in any type of Pokemon except from dragon.

Terrain specialists units


These are the least common of all the types of poachers, each unit is made up of between five and seven members, all of them trained to survive in a particular habitat. There is one unit for each of the following jungle and swampland, forest and tundra, desert and savanna and finally mountains and caves. Each unit will carry a range of Pokemon to both match the environment they are working in and gain the advantage against Pokemon living there. For example the forest and tundra unit would mostly use ice, grass, fire, fighting and electric Pokemon. These units can survive for weeks at a time with out contact with other units and are trained in dealing with captured Pokemon for extended periods of time.
They carry a much better set of equipment that the rest of the poachers but only for their given environment.

Elite Poachers


These are the very best of all the poachers not a lot is known about them at all, however they are known to exist. They are reputed to have full teams of fully evolved Pokemon.


Unnatural Pokemon


The following Pokemon all require humans so they are not native spices on the island, however the poachers that came to the island can still use them. It does not in any way meant these Pokemon will not appear in the RP, it just means that before the poachers arrived on the island there were non of these Pokemon on the island.

Rules

• My word is final and I reserve the right to change the rules.
• No bunnying, god-modding or what ever else you want to call taking over another person's character.
• You may create NPC both human and Pokemon, however I expect you to not create a ton at once. Just please use your common sense on this one. Just to let you know scouts and hunters can be created when ever you want, if you want to create a terrain specialist then let me know rather than just going ahead and doing it since these play a major part in the story. You will not be able to create Elite Poachers.
• Please post frequently and if for any reason you know in advance you will be away for any long stretch of time please let me know.
• Abide by the RP section rules this includes making your posts of an appropriate length.
• I will be rather lenient on moves and not ask you to specify what moves you know. You will also be allowed as many moves as you wish but please do not go straight for the most powerful moves. At the beginning of this RP all players are low level Pokemon, most likely between levels five and ten, as the RP progresses you may use more powerful moves. I will not be enforcing a strict move set either, if it seems appropriate then, I will allow you to use a move regardless of the move set of the Pokemon you are using.
• Finally have fun, this RP is intended two reasons, one of them is writing this story and the second is just to have fun.

[Strikit]

Name: Oliver

Species: Meowth

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Appearance: Oliver is a very feminine Meowth. He has been mistaken for a female before, until that Pokemon got close enough to catch his scent on the wind and realize he was indeed male. This fact earns him teasing, which leaves him a bit shy. Oliver never grew out of the kittenhood stage where the tips of his ears flop down, so unless he's holding them erect they don't stand straight up. In contrast to his jet black floppy ears he always sits straight up and walks on perfectly straight limbs, every step high unless he's excited or in a hurry. He is incapable of bipedal ambulation, as that behavior is learned and perfected after many years of practice, and anyway it is simply unnatural for a wild Meowth to learn it.

His soft green eyes are a perfect almond shape and always have a gentle expression, contributing to the suspicion that he might be a girl. The fur around them is slightly darker than his cream colored body, giving his eyes a depth not many Meowth have. His tail curls slightly more than most. The edge of the curl touches beyond where the darker brown bit of his tail ends. His front paws are no darker than his body fur. If anything, they're slightly lighter. His back paws, however, are tipped in brown, as though he'd stepped in milk chocolate.

Oliver's whiskers are slightly shorter than a full-grown Meowth's, seeing as he's still young and growing. The charm on his forehead is scratched, weathered, and beaten, having been a family heirloom passed down from his father. Though he is, as most of his kind are, constantly on the look out for more shiny objects he would never replace his beloved charm.

Personality: Oliver is known for his kindness. He'll always lick the wounds of a younger Pokemon, no matter the species, and would be glad to give up a meal so that another can eat. He never expects his kindness to be returned. In fact, he knows it probably won't, but that doesn't mean he should be any less happy to do it. He has a very clear perception of right and wrong, and to see someone cross the mental line he has set upsets him greatly. Though he realizes not everyone views it the same way he can't help but attempt to correct the young, and feel saddened by the wrongdoing of the old. At the same time when he sees an act of kindness similar to his own he perks up. Seeing someone share a single berry can make him smile all day. That's another thing about him; he tends to smile a lot. Very few things can really get him down for too long, and even if they do he always tries to pull himself back up. He doesn't like being sad.

Among Oliver's favorite things are random acts of kindness, Spelon berries, young cubs, and strangely, water. He absolutely adores water in all its forms. If it is snowing, he will go out and make snow sculptures. If it is raining he will roll in it until his fur is caked with mud. And of course, he frequents any body of water he is near to, including rivers, springs, puddles, and of course the ocean. He has a tendency to fear the ocean, due to its depth and the inability to know exactly what is lurking beneath the surface, but as long as he stays near the shore he's alright. He also has A dislike, more than fear, of loud things. Whether it be loud Pokemon, thunder, or rocks crashing down from cliffsides, if its loud he doesn't like it. You would think his flopped ears would make him less sensitive to the sound, but in fact if anything they make him more sensitive.

When listening to something instead of straightening his ears and cocking them in the direction of the sound Oliver prefers to turn his entire head that way and leave his ears as they are. The only situations in which they perk up are excitement and fear. One will never find him taking a bath as most Cat Pokemon do, licking themselves without shame where anyone could see them. He always finds the most secluded spot possible and meticulously cleans every hair and every inch of skin until he gleams. His claws, he grinds against rough rocks to file them down. He keeps them at points, but he dislikes them being so long and sharp he catches them on roots and debris when running.

There is a creature Oliver has heard of, unlike anything he has ever seen. Part of him believes the horror stories are true, even as his rational brain tells him they're ridiculous. After all, what sort of creature looks similar to a Hitmonchan but taller and more muscular, with fur only on top of their head and spherical objects in their pockets that could turn a Pokemon into a slave for the rest of their life? The boogeyman, that's what. Oliver is convinced they're not real, and the rumors of strange creatures landing on the island are just another horror story told to keep kids from wandering out at night. The only monster lurking in the dark was Gastly. It had always been that way, it would always be that way, and only seeing one of them would change his mind.

History: Oliver was born into a litter of six kits from two Persian. His sire didn't remain present after impregnating his mother, since Meowth and Persian weren't species known for mating for life, so Oliver had never truly known his father. Of course, it wasn't a big deal to him. In the wild most species were like that. His mother didn't know her father, his father didn't know his father, and so it was with Oliver.

He and his siblings were lucky, for they could not have hoped for a more competent and loving mother. She often brought them eggs from bird nests, small Rattata and Pidgey, and endless berries for meals. Never did they go hungry. As a result most of Oliver's brothers and sisters became fat, but he never did. He'd just always had a much higher metabolism than normal. That, or he had a Caterpie in his stomach that ate all of his food, as his mother had jokingly suggested on many occasions.

In his childhood she entertained them with wondrous stories of all sorts of unbelievable Pokemon and places, common fairy tales, and of course cautionary fables. Among these were The Paras and the River Mushroom, Mankey See Mankey Do, and Oliver's favorite, The Slavers. It told of odd monsters that came into a Pokemon's home, caught them in a red and white ball, and made them fight until they couldn't fight anymore. The idea was horrendous, but in the end it was just a kid's story warning him not to wander too far from home. It had him nervous when he was finally old enough to go out on his own, afraid that behind a tree a dark shadow would catch him and take him away from his home forever. But he got over his fear and established his life on the island. He found his own place in the roots of a large tree which he furnished with a small Spelon berry tree and down from the Pidgey he caught as prey. All in all, it was a nice place, and has survived him to the present day.

His social life has never been the best. He has few true friends, and more what he would call acquaintances. Most Pokemon his age had a tendency to tease him for his girlish appearance. Whether they meant to hurt him or not, they did. Those who had a record of teasing him were slowly shunned by him until he didn't see them at all. Those who did not, however, became part of his extended family, his brothers and sisters. That extended family grew quite large to the point where it contains many different Pokemon from many different types all over the island.

Presently, Oliver continues to do as he always has, growing and harvesting Spelon berries, looking after the babies of the island, and just enjoying being alive. Although his routine could be easily thrown off by a single change of element, he doesn't predict that happening in the near future and expects to be doing what he is until either his life ends or he gets bored and begins to do something else.

RP sample:

His heart thudded in his chest as he sat on the bench in the locker room. This was what his entire life had been leading up to, or so it felt. For the last four years he had been training endlessly to get to where he was. In just a few minutes his name would be called on the loudspeaker and he would be expected to stride proudly out in front of a crowd of thousands and orchestrate the best artistic performance of his life. Not only would he be expected to battle, but he would be expected to be graceful while doing it, to make it look more like a dance than a fight. It was a challenge he faced with more seriousness than anything else he'd ever done. As a result he also felt more nervousness over it. No matter what happened here today his name would be remembered, either as the young trainer who fought and lost, or the trainer who won. He was going to do his best to become the latter.

From the screens mounted on the wall above the lockers he could see the current battle blazing on the floor above his head. Dust flew around a mightily trained Nidorino's feet as it charged repeatedly at a just as intimidating Golduck. The images did nothing to calm him down, for these were the Pokemon his own would be competing against. These were the trainers that he would have to prove his methods superior to. In a way, he felt sympathy for all of them. Every last one of them, save for one, had to lose, and he intended to be that one.

"Kaspar Hayes, come up into the stadium," the intercom summoned. He took a deep breath and rose to his feet, one hand on the six balls attached to his belt. Today would be the day they proved themselves. With one last glance at the tiled room behind him, he ascended the stairs into the light.

Before stepping out where all could see him he was asked to release his Pokemon from their balls. He did so, calling out a Camerupt, Kingler, Raticate, Magneton, Ekans, and Grovyle.

"Okay guys," he said shakily. "This is showtime. Just give them your best. I know what you can do, now you show them."

There were nods of agreement, though they all seemed just as skittish as he. Shoulders back, head held high, and Pokemon walking next to him, three on each side, Kaspar strode out into the spotlight, just as had been expected of him, knowing from that moment on his life would be different.

 

[ShadowYashi]

Name: Sawyer

Species: Rattata

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Appearance: There's nothing over the top and extraordinary about Sawyer, she looks just like any other Rattata, though she's slightly smaller than most, she has the dark purple fur that's found on the back of most her species and the pale tan, almost cream colored fur on her belly and lower jaw. Her whiskers are only a few inches longer than other females and her teeth and tail are the only normal proportioned things on her entire being. Around Sawyer's neck is a tattered and beaten red scarf, that covers her entire length and drags against the floor and when she runs it trails behind her like a cape, that belonged to the Hunter who had almost succeeded in capturing her, if it wasn't for her Father rescuing her and taking the fall, she'd be the one that was taken to the ship, never to return and to be able to see her family again.

Personality: Sawyer is a very inquisitive, imaginative and daring Rattata, she likes to explore the unknown, go where no Pokémon has ever gone before, she likes the thrill and excitement of getting lost in the tunnels of her parent's spacious burrow or teasing the Totodile and Squirtle in the lakes, annoying them to the point where they'll chase after her, while she pretends their actually a vicious Feraligatr or Blastoise who's nest she disturbed while she dived deep into the murky den of Ryukyu the Gyarados. Aside from her adventurous, brave and curious nature, she's also a very sweet and caring Rattata, down to the point where most who meet her call her adorable or annoying, but that totally depends on who your asking.

Sawyer likes a lot of things and isn't to picky when it comes to food, she'll eat nearly anything she can get her tiny little paws on. When thinking or when she has an idea, Sawyer will always twitch her whiskers and wrinkle her nose as though she just smelled something horrible, when she's nervous or truly afraid, she'll begin to gnaw on whatever she can find, food, wood, rocks, but more often than not it'll be a piece of wood. The oddest habit she's been known to have is how she figures out solutions to very simple problems, like swallowing an Everstone to prevent evolution, instead of just wearing it. Sawyer is very open minded and see's the world as one big adventure, just a waiting to be explored and discovered.

Now with every good quality, comes a bad quality and for Sawyer, her bad qualities are that she has issues with being told she's too small or she's too young, she also hates being underestimated just because she refuses to evolve and proven wrong, especially when she's so sure she's right! Sawyer also hates Pokémon who evolve just to become stronger, because they don't have faith in their own strengths and weaknesses and she detests traitors. Sawyer's very distrusting of cat's and has a strong dislike for Persians. She believes them all to be bullies who try to scare Pokémon smaller than them and they think their the greatest thing since Arceus.

When Sawyer heard the rumors about humans landing on the island during the meeting, she was excited and was the first to jump to the task of gathering information, to see if it was really true but much to her dismay her parents and siblings forbade her from even going anywhere near where the humans might've been, much too worried about her safety and afraid she might endanger them all, as they were still in the dark about what exactly the humans could do and why they were here. While hanging out with some of her forest friends, they'd often make their own assumptions on why the humans were on their island, with Sawyer's assumptions being the most odd and imaginative.

History: Sawyer is the only Rattata in her family of 15 Raticate and 7 Growlithe, well 6 now, considering her Father, a Growlithe had been captured, she's the only oddball of her family who refuses to evolve, she even had enough gall to eat an Everstone, after weeks of gnawing it down to swallowing size, just because she didn't want to evolve, claiming that she liked being small and didn't want to be big like the rest of her family and she believes that evolving is for the weak and those who can overcome they weaknesses while in their first form are alot stronger. Before the humans came to the island and began spreading panic amongst the forest and before her life suddenly began to change. Sawyer was known around their home as 'Sawyer the Explorer.' She was known as the bravest Rattata ever amongst her peers and former best friends, which consisted of a somber Caterpie and a mousy Pichu whenever the local bullies would bother them, she'd stand up to them like they were nothing, while others would shy away or go hide, she was never afraid, she had dreams of things scarier than those jokers.

A few days before her Father was taken by the Hunter, Sawyer had convinced Kat and Zappy, Caterpie and Pichu respectively to come exploring a nearby tunnel with her that had been dug out by an Onix, said Pokémon was gone and the tunnels now belonged to other Pokémon who preferred to have homes in the dark cavern. The trio explored the large cave, with Sawyer bravely leading the way as they walked down a dimly lit path, heading deeper and deeper into the cave Kat harmlessly wondered how far this cave could go, sadly the Caterpie's question had been swiftly answered when a Persian had come sauntering up to them, causing Kat and Zappy to stiffen with fear as he asked them what they were doing in his cave, unlike her friends, Sawyer was foolishly unafraid and mouthed off at the large cat, telling him that this wasn't his cave and that they were free to explore as they pleased.

The Persian laughed and complimented Sawyer, told her she had a lot of guts for talking to him like that, especially considering that she and her friends were nothing but snacks to him but Sawyer continued to protest against the Persian, calling him all types of names and saying he was nothing but a big bully, who was all talk and no action, this seemed to rile the cat up and he began to protest, proposing to her that they have a little battle, should he win, then they stayed here and became his lunch, but if they won, then he'd let them leave with no hassle. Sawyer quickly accepted before Zappy and Kat could even get a word in, the trio attacked the Persian with everything they had, but he would either brush off their attack's like they were nothing or return them tenfold, eventually they had stopped fighting, because Sawyer had begun to try and talk their way out of this bad predicament, since they were losing badly.

But as she continued to talk, Sawyer was ignorant to Persian's change of mood as the two kept debating and just kept talking, Zappy and Kat however were very aware of the slow change in the cat's mood as Sawyer kept on arguing and while she was so caught up in telling him off, she had failed to see her friends sneak away to 'safety.' Eventually Sawyer had crossed the line by calling the Persian a weakling and a liar, causing the cat to snap, he lunged for Sawyer, who quickly scrambled out of the way and began running for the exit, wondering what happened to her friends, hoping the Persian didn't get them, when she had finally made it from the cave, but not without a few close calls, Persian had almost managed to catch her quite a few times if not for some quick thinking on her part.

When Sawyer finally made it back out into the open, she was surprised, relieved and hurt to see Zappy and Kat were safe from harm, but she was hurt because they had practically had left her for dead back there, they didn't even stay when the going got tough, they just got going. Sawyer never forgave them for that and then it was really a sting to her, when not too long after that event, that both Zappy and Kat had evolved into Raichu and Butterfree respectively, claiming that the little run in with Persian made them realize, that being small wasn't a good thing and because they were so weak, their attacks hardly affected him, plus if it wasn't for her mouth, they wouldn't have almost gotten killed, hearing this coming from two Pokémon she had thought were her best friends had hurt her deeply, after that Sawyer separated herself from them, since they obviously didn't want to be around her.

It was while she was sulking alone in a clearing about the betrayal of her best friends a couple days after the run in with Persian, that one of the humans had attacked, it struck her as odd, they looked like Pokémon, yet at the same time they weren't, it couldn't understand anything she was saying and it pulled out this weird red and white ball and threw it at her, but Sawyer had ran away, she had been told about those items, remembering that they had the power to trap you if they touch you. The Pokémon looking creature reached behind its back and pulled out another one of those balls, except instead of throwing it at her, something came out, it was a Machop, but he didn't look like one of the Machop she knew that lived in these parts.

Sawyer cried out when it attacked her and she wondered angrily why it was doing this, before she bit the Machop on the arm, the two fought and fought until Sawyer began feeling sluggish and her eyes were drooping, when the man pulled out another one of those balls again, she thought it was the end, but then her Father came along with one of her brothers and told him to get Sawyer out of here while he held them off. The last thing Sawyer saw was her Father viciously tearing at Machop, who she knew didn't have a chance, when Sawyer woke up a few hours later, all she knew was that her Father had been captured and the only thing left to remember him by was the scarf he had ripped off the one who had tried to capture her. Sawyer mentally vowed that she would rescue her dad from those evil demons and since then had begun wearing that scarf.

Spoiler:

Nina was shocked "I made it to the next round?" she couldn't keep the grin off her face as she scooped Tat into her arms "We did it Tat!" Angelina walked off stage, while Anthony took his place opposite of her; he tilted his hat to her and smiled, green eyes crinkled warmly in her direction, hidden by messy blond locks Nina couldn't help but smile softly in response.

"The second round consists of a Contest Battle!" The screen was blue with a picture of both contestants on the screen, and the Normal Rank Cool ribbon in between the two. A red bar was underneath both trainer's, indicating their points. A clock was placed at the bottom of the screen.

"Our contestants will have two minutes to show our judge their battling abilities! And now, our battle for the Cool Ribbon...will BEGIN!!" Miriam shouted as the clock began to count down from two minutes.

"Tat spotlight's on you!"

"Pikachu standby!"

Tat ran on the stage, while Pikachu hopped off Anthony's shoulder, the boy in response tipped his has to Nina "May the best win" she nodded in response "Yeah"

"Pikachu use Swift!" Pikachu nodded and shot a flurry of stars at Tat, who dodged them all "Alright Tat! Quick Attack!" Tat zoomed at Pikachu, ramming the mouse in its stomach with his head. Nina glanced at her scoreboard, noticing Anthony's point went down just a bit "Pikachu Thunder Shock!"

The speed from the attack was much too quick and Tat had gotten shocked by the stream of lightning "Okay, Tat try Tail Whip!" Tat nodded and ran up to Pikachu, waiting until the last second to whirl around and slap Pikachu in the face, the Pikachu scowled and Growled at Tat in response.

"I've gotta start getting his points down. . . but I gotta make it look cool"

Nina looked at Tat's scarf thoughtfully "Maybe that could work!" smiling confidently Nina commanded Tat to run circles around Pikachu using Quick Attack, the mouse did as told until Pikachu was wrapped up to the neck in one of the twin tails from the scarf. Nina smiled "I got him!" she was about to tell Tat to toss Pikachu, but Anthony surprised her by attacking first.

"Thunder Shock Pikachu!"

As she watched Tat light up like a Christmas Tree and watched as her points drop, she suddenly realized how foolish her move was, because Pikachu could easily use the Scarf as a conductor and shock Tat while he's tied up "Tat, try get away with Quick Attack!" the scarf was quickly unraveled and Tat was about to make a mad dash across the field but Pikachu had stepped on the end of the scarf, causing Tat to halt and get flung backwards, upon being yanked by the scarf.

Nina glanced at the clock. It was at 1:30 and Nina then looked at her points, Anthony was in the lead and she looked sad "I. . . I'm going to loose. Its no use" she thought sadly, before glancing at Tat, who was taking the battle into his own hands since Nina was off in lala land. Pikachu's cry of pain had directed her attention to the mouse and she noticed with wide eyes that Tat had bitten down harshly on the Pikachu's tail, Tat had somehow managed to break free of Pikachu's hold on its Scarf and turned around and bit the mouse, its point were steadily dropping, but they were no where near Nina's, just yet. . .

She bit her lip nervously and noticed the clock was now at :59 seconds and Nina was racking her brain trying to figure out what she could do in 59 seconds to get Anthony's point lowered quickly "Tat let go and use Tackle!" she decided to wing it, tossing Strategy out the door because she didn't have enough time to think.

The Rattata released Pikachu's tail, noting with a satisfied grin that his teeth left an imprint and he rushed the mouse from behind, ramming his head into its unprotected back "Don't give it time to stand either! Use Quick Attack!" And Tat did just as Nina said, hitting the Pikachu with Quick Attack, launching the mouse in the air "Now try using your scarf and slam Pikachu!"

Nina glanced at the Clock, that was on 10 seconds, Anthony still had more points than her, but not by much. . . Tat had successfully wrapped Pikachu up in mid air, using the tails of his scarf as a make shift lasso, the mouse then jumped high into the air, flipped and the whirled around and bought Pikachu down on the ground, the mouse landed with a harsh thud, right when the timer rang too.

Nina looked sadly over to Tat, who had won the battle, but she was afraid that they had lost, from what she had last seen, Anthony was in the lead. Biting her lip, she looked at the screen that would decide the outcome of their battle.

"And the winner is. . .!"

Nina shut her eyes tightly and clenched her fist, waiting for the woman to say Anthony and for the crowd to cheer for him. Except it never came, opening her eyes Nina gasped when she realized it was her face on the screen, she glanced at her points and then at Anthony's. She had only beaten him by a fraction of a point, she was this close to loosing, her first contest too.

Nina felt her legs give out and she fell to her knees on the floor, while Tat happily bounced into her arms "We Won Nina! We Won!" he exclaimed happily before sobering up "Can we go get some lunch? I'm starving!" Miriam walked over to Nina, asking if the girl was alright and she nodded, standing up and following the woman towards Daisy, who was smiling.

"We gladly present you with the Normal Rank Cool Ribbon!" Nina blushed and said a small thanks before taking the ribbon, she then turned around and ran up to Anthony, he was murmuring words of encouragement to hi Pikachu when she stopped before him, her cheeks were slightly red and she gave the boy a sheepish smile "That was a great battle! You Pikachu was really tough! I mean. . . you. . . you would've won instead of me, I only beat you by a fraction." she awkwardly extended her hand and the Cowboy's lips twitched and his green eyes crinkled before he smiled and shook it "Yeah, you got lucky this time, perhaps we'll meet again in the Super Contests in Celadon" Nina nodded "Y-Yeah" Anthony released her hand and waved Nina off, the girl then made her way towards the locker room, placing her ribbon in its case.

"I still can't believe we won" she thought taking a seat, congratulating both Tai and Edwin on their victories Tat was in her arms, messing with the scarf.

"Hey Nina. . . you think they'll let me keep this scarf? Its really handy and I could carry my food in it!" Nina sweat dropped, leave it to Tat to find some useful way to stock snacks "I think we have to give it back once the contest is over" Tat aww'd and grumbled something about greedy humans and them keeping him away from his food.

Nina just sighed "So now what?"

[pikakip]

(this looks good. im in.)
Name: Zar


Species: Elekid

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Appearance: Zar is a completely different color from other elekids. he is mostly blue due to an incident when he was 3 when some bullies forced him into berry juice and only let him out for air. He wears a branch through his prongs and he refuses to file his teeth. this had lead to his teeth reaching past hi lower lip, making him look saber-ish. he follows this same pattern with his claws, and most of his friends refuse to spar with him. these and other small differences make him seriously wanted by poachers. They also make him more deadly.

Personality: Zar acts like he is primitive. He growls when people he doesn't like appear near him, and he envelops his friends in huge ursaring hugs when he's happy to see them. He howls before he goes to sleep, claiming it keeps away strong predators. Zar does act civilized once in a while as shown when he attended a dinner at his friend's house. His claws and teeth were still long, but he had taken the branches out of his prongs and he brushed his fur. He always speaks in a gruff voice, and he loves to fight. it's really easy for him to make friends as you can tell since he has almost no enemies. When he does go into battles, he changes completly. he completely lets his primative side take over and he becomes vicious. He loves Grilled berries, even though he was traumatized by berry juice as a child. He hates the thought of Demons taking over the island and he swore to himself that he would protect his home friends and family if they got in the way of them.




History: Zar was Born in a clearing with no parents. His egg had been sitting in a small area that the sunlight could hit all day and keep it warm. The moment he came out of his egg, he looked around for someone who could help him. As it was, a caterpie had happened to be exploring that area of the forest when Zar ran into it. The dazed caterpie Took one look at him and whimpered in fright. Zar just stood there, staring at the new creature. when the caterpie realized that the Elekid was a newborn, it took him in and took care of him, gradually teaching him about the island and its culture. When Zar turned 3, he went to the major town area on the island and he met a few kids. Bullies to be precise. They tricked him into going with him, and when they had led him to their hideout they shoved him into a barrel full of berry juice. No matter how much he struggled, they just kept pushing him down. This torture went on for several hours. When the Bullies finally let him go, his fur was stained a deep blue.

Zar used that event to make him stronger. He pushed himself harder every time he remembered those bullies. His fur was a reminder to him, a keepsake if you will. He not only used this, but he trained every day. He had decided that he would destroy anyone or anything that dared harm his home.



RP sample: The man sighed. It was going to be hard attacking a kid, but it would be worth it. The Kid staring at the man snarled " LEAVE HER ALONE!" he yelled. The man just grinned. "listen kid, I reccomend that you just leave and let me have that celebi behind you." The Kid shook his head "No! AND STOP CALLING ME KID! MY NAME IS MAX!" With the last word, Max hurled his pokeball at the man's head, catching him off guard. There was a flash of bright light and a metapod emerged from the ball squeeling " MEEEEEEEET!" This made the man laugh harder. "a Metapod? heh-heh. Kid you are so dead!" The man laughed as his pokemon emerged from behind him, a sneasel. The sneasel grinned beside his master and charged towards the metapod with a great ferocity. Max laughed. "Metapod use harden!" The Metapod's shell glowed slightly. The sneasel hit the metapod so hard it ricocheted off a tree only to come back and hit the sneasel in the face, knocking it out instantly. The man stammered "b-bu- How?" Max smiled "never underestimate your opponent, right Metapod?" The metapod Replied with a shrill "MEEEEET." With the man still stammering, Max went over to the Metapod and gave him a treat, a rare candy!Metapod had swallowed it in one gulp, only to be swallowed by a flash of light. Max just stammered. The Butterfree emerged from the light shouting "FREEEEEEEE". Max smiled. "Butterfree use stun spore!" The butterfree let a powder of yellow fall upon the still whimpering man. the man stiffened up and Max whipped out his phone.

"Hello police? hi, my name is Max. i have incapacitated A team rocket member and i am now waiting in viridian forest. i will be here when you get here." Max smiled and sat down against the tree marvelling at his new friend. he heard the pleseant rustling sound of the trees around him. he heard the sounds of the nature breathing around him, and he knew HE KNEW that this was Celebi's way of saying thanks. For saving her and the forest.

Almost done

 

[The warden]

ShadowYashi: accepted, don't worry it's better to put a lot down than not put enough.
Zeph (Omnizaru): I'll reserve you a spot.
Strikit: accepted, good appearance section.
pikakip: A spot is reserved for you.

 

[Zeph.]

Name: Goka Zaru

Species: Chimchar.

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Goka dosen't look too different from any other Chimchar at first glance. He has a black streak, or stripe, birthmark across his head however. He is also pretty big compared to most other Chimchar - standing a good few inches higher than them. As a result he is a tad bulkier, with a slightly tough figure and pretty lean. Apart from these factors however, the rest of his appearances matches other pokemon of his species.

Personality:
How does your character behave? - Goka has always been known for being careful around things, and thus has developed quite a serious attitude. He rarely does too many recreational activites with other young pokemon - instead he tends to just relax or lay back and stare into space whenever he isn't doing anything. He is also good at keeping friendships, and is known to help his friends (and as of recent, protect them if need be.)

What kind of things do they like and dislike? - As metioned, Goka prefers not to mess around or act too childish with others. He believes that to survive, you need to learn how to live for yourself, and so he likes to have more and more independance. Despite his low level and inexperience, he is always eager to help with things and protect his group (particularly from these new 'demons'.)

Do they have any odd quirks or habits? - Goka has a constant need to take matters with upmost seriousness if need be, and has the tendancy to try and take the helm - trying to get others organised and get them to work together for things. This dosen't always work however, and can often end up in disputes.

What do they think of the rumors of humans landing on the island? - Due to his tendancy to take matters seriously, Goka has responded to these rumours no differently. He is constantly on edge and checking his surroundings to see if these rumoured monsters ever approach.

History: Goka's birth caused great conspiricy among the group of Chimchar, Monferno and Infernape. Some argued that his black birthmark was a sign of evil, others thought nothing of it. However, the majority saw it as a sign - that he was a chosen warrior. Due to this, he was raised with many privilages - he was allowed to eat among the higher figures in the group before the rest, he was never intimidated or challenged by any others, and so on.

This privilaged lifestyle also resulted in a limit to Goka's liberties. From an early age, he was trained under the veterans of the group to become a fighter. At first he was taught basic fighting skills, and as he progressed, he was introduced to more spiritual exercises (meditation etc). Goka made really good progress in his training, and is now begining to improve on his skills.

RP sample: I RP with you in The Uprising :) If you still want a sample though then thats okay :D

 

[The warden]

Ok Zeph, you are accepted that means that just me and pikakip are left to sign up, if no one else reserves a spot before we finished then I will close SU's.

 

[Charzeon]

I would like to reserve a spot as a Sneasel. I should be able to put up a SU soon.

 

[The warden]

Charzeon, I'll reserve a spot for you.

zamjevi, a lot of work is needed here. To start Drazler beating a Charizard is very unlikely, since the everyone is low level at the start, to be fair I don't think I put that in the brief but I did ask for basic and baby Pokemon and I thought that that would imply a low level. Can you also work on your grammer please, you don't have to start each new sentance with a new line and use Pokemon rather than PKMN, using short text language will not be accepted in this RP except OOC comments. Finally look at the guide to making an SU in the Role Play section lounge, it has a lot of good advice on how to improve your SU's.

Edit: I have reserved a place for you zamjevi on the condition that your SU improves to a acceptable standard.

 

[Charzeon]

Actually, forget it. I'm sorry but I'm fairly busy and I don't know how much I'll actually be able to post in this thread. Sorry again.

 

[Wolf in the Rain]

Any Spots? If so, RSV ME! (Pleease?) |3

 

[The warden]

Yes Wolf, I'll resereve you a spot.

(OOC: Done! (Finally...) I changed my mind about Re-using an SU. So... yeah... :D)

Name: Tobias

Species: Charmander

Gender: Male

Age:15

Appearance: Tobias has a few minor differences that set him apart from a regular Charmander. For one, he has a scar going diagonally across the left side of his neck from when he got into a scrap with his brother (See history). Even though the scar isn't very long (running about a Quarter way around), to him, it feels like the most prominent part of his being. In the past he has been wearing a blue bandana his brother found to cover it up, But it had become so tattered he had to leave it. Now, he is again looking for a new object to cover up the scar, but cannot find anything he likes.

Another deviation that sets Tobias apart from others of his species is that his right "fang" is slightly longer then the other. When he closes his mouth, the tooth shows over his bottom lip. One other odd thing is his eye color, unlike the normal brown or red, his are a deep sky blue. Besides these, Tobias is like any other Charmander. He is a normal height for any of his species (~2ft) and has dark orange skin along with a lighter orange traveling down his stomach.


Personality: Tobias is fairly vocal for a creature of his stature, perhaps because of competition with his older brother or from having mixed parents, and always tries to be a leader. However, this does not, make him headstrong; he always checks if something is smart to do or is safe. But one thing is sure, having a voice in a matter is of utmost importance to him.

Unlike most others of his species, Tobias actually likes water. Now, by "likes" I mean, he will got about up to his knees or lay on his stomach and takes extreme caution not to get his tail-fire wet, but he still gets in. However, this does not effect his Weaknesses/Resistances to attacks.

Thanks mostly to his brother, Tobias cannot stand others who make a promise they cannot keep. This may make him seem harsh or mean in some situations, but he sees it as being a "realist". He claims that "False hope is the same as taking another's eyes." Another thing he hates is the light given off by his tail He claims that it stops him from sleeping soundly at night as well as gives him away too easily.

Tobias is extremely sensitive about the scar given to him by his brother. If anyone makes a comment that he feels makes fun of him in any way, he will defend himself by fighting; just like his brother told him to do.

Despite his hatred of his brother, first for the scar on his body and next for the way he abandoned him (see SU), Tobias still takes most of his advice to heart, often putting most of them into practice. Nevertheless, he gives his brother no or little credit for anything (attacks, maneuvers, etc.) his brother taught him.

Although he is not the best at making friends, he generally gets along well with others. He doesn't mind others, as long as they treat him well. But, if someone messes up something he was working hard on or gets in his way, he can have a very 'sharp tongue' and say along of things that will sting the person to the core, especially if he knows the person well. As for friends, they are few for Tobias. But when he does make friends, he can keep them for a very long time.

As for the rumors of humans landing on the island, Tobias is suspicious of the truth. Although not completely convinced the rumors are fake, he thinks that they may be exaggerated.

History: Tobias was born in the foothills of the mountain section of the island. With a Feraligatr as his father and a Charizard as his mother, Tobias' life had always been slightly distant from others. Others would find this coupling odd, and often criticize the Charmander for it. However, Tobias never held this criticism as his parent's fault.

Although he remembers little from his childhood (if that's what they call it -.-'), one memory sticks in his mind, the fight between him and his brother. Although he forgets what it was even about, the scar on his neck from his brother's first Slash attack reminds him of every detail.

Ever since he was 6, it has just been his older brother and him. One night, their parents simply disappeared. Some believe the pair died, and others that they just abandoned them. Although Tobias never truly understood what happened to his parents, he still remembers them fondly, although his brother remembered them with spite.

For the next 6 years, they would hunt for food and try to find a better place to live, abandoning their old home and birthplace and attempting to live in the forest section. Although nothing ever seemed to improve, Every day, his older brother would claim everything would get better and he would always be there for him. Even though Tobias didn't believe him at first, eventually, things began to get better little by little. With every passing day, their lives seemed to begin to fall into place. He began to make friends and his brother even taught him moves and tactics he created himself, as well as some ones his parents taught him, such as Shadow Claw and Flare Blitz, although, they fail most of the time, because he hasn't perfected them yet. However, this doesn't stop him from trying to use them.

But again, misfortune struck. One day, when he awoke, his brother was nowhere to be found. He waited in their home for days, refusing to step out until he returned. Finally, after help from one of his few friends he had, he faced the facts, he brother had abandoned him. Almost immediately, the realization sent him into a blind rage, he burned down his home unwittingly, burning down a part of the forest as well.

It would be another 2 years of traveling before he again began to settle down. He still feels a pang of guilt for burning the forest which is leading him to do whatever it takes to help.

Look Familiar? :3

OOC: WOLFSRAIN AND WARDEN TO THE RESCUE (with a super short post!)! *Cue SuperHero theme Song*)

Chris sat propped against the wall of the gym, one hand clutching his wound on his shoulder and the other petting Sakura's relatively clean fur. The Pikachu was now facing away from the gruesome scene and pushing into him. His ribs still throbbed from the battle and he had to guess that they were bruised or broken. Chris tilted his head back and stared at the roof, trying his best to ignore the pain and stay conscious. All he could do was think about what had happened over the past few days. Despite the lack of sleep and troubles they faced, they ended up here, fighting the PXS. Most of them were lucky to be alive. Still, he couldn't help but think of all of the people they lost, but he had a feeling it could've been worse.

"Look Chris,"

Chris snapped out of his stupor, looking for the person who was talking to him. Paul, was crouched down next to him. He took his hand off of Sakura, reaching up ad wiping some of the blood off of his forehead with his sleeve. He probably still looked like a sorry mess, not like it would've changed in the last battle anyway.

"About earlier, I shouldn't have been like that, got angry with you and it wasn't really your fault. What I mean to say is that I was a jerk and over reacted, so I was wondering if we could just forget about that and well I'm sorry." Paul said to Chris keeping eye contact until he had finished speaking and then looking at the floor.

Chris sat there for a moment before responding in the complete opposite tone of what he was feeling. "To be honest, I already completely forgot about that. Don't worry about it." He laughed before putting his non-bloodied hand out to Paul. "Now help me up so we can get out of here."

 

[The warden]

Ok Wolf, your accepted, however Flare Blitz and Shadow Claw are a bit too strong for the moment, I'll let you use them but could you say something like you haven't perfected them yet or are still learning them please.

 

[Wolf in the Rain]

Yeah, Sure. Np. Fixed.

...

Stupid 25 char rule...

 

[Monochrome]

Would you mind if I grabbed a reservation Warden? This is relevant to my intrests. :P

 

[The warden]

TimelessParadox I'll reserve you a spot.

Every one I hope to have my SU up tomorrow and we start in the next few days.


Name: Anton


Species: Ekans


Gender: Male


Age: 15


Appearance: For an Ekans Anton is rather small, when uncoiled he is roughly a meter long, as his body is still growing he has yet to gain any real strength making him look a lot slimmer than older Pokemon of his species. The yellow band pattern typical of Ekans is slightly distorted on Anton, making it appear more like a thick wavy line. His tail only has four of ridges on the rattle as apposed to five like most Ekans, giving his rattle a slightly higher pitched sound than normal. Also Anton's left upper fang is chipped at the end, although most the time it isn't visible.


Personality: As a species Ekans are not known for being trust worthy and in general other Pokemon don't tend to place much trust in them, this constant suspicion has made Anton quite a with drawn Pokemon. From Anton's point of view if every one regards you with suspicion you should treat them the same way and in his eye's if you want his respect you have to earn it.


The stereotypical view of Ekans is as egg thieves and predators that only pick on Pokemon smaller than them selves, while this is partially true for Anton, he isn't entirely amoral, instead he prefers to avoid stealing and hunting. Anton only hunts when he must, either out of lack of food or the need for more protein in his diet, instead he eats berries whenever they are available. Around other Pokemon Anton adopts a attitude that is obnoxious and frequently sarcastic, however this isn't how he really behaves round his friends, as the smallest of a large family it was just one way of making sure he wasn't ignored. Around the Pokemon Anton considers his friends, he is much friendlier, however he still makes fun of them sometimes.


Anton really loves lying in warm sun light, because as a reptile his main source of body heat is sun light, he sometimes while hunting stops by fires lit by fire type Pokemon in light from the dying embers. Spicy berries are his favorite, it doesn't matter what it is if it's spicy he'll eat it. Rain and water both really annoy him, because he gets so cold, in fact any form of bad weather will send him hiding under the nearest rock to stay warm and dry.


Anton's diet is abnormally high in berries, he tends to eat about twice as many as a normal Ekans would, and very low in meat and eggs. This is because Anton dislikes having to kill and would rather collect berries than hunt or steal eggs. Anton has heard the rumors of the demons on the island and as a rather superstitious Pokemon, believes the most of what he is told, which while largely exaggerated and distorted does have some truth in it. If he was to come face to face with one of the demons Anton would attack with a poison attack and then flee before he was turned into a slave.


History: Anton was the youngest and smallest of a family of Ekans and Arbok, both his mother and farther were Arbok. Of the eggs laid around the sometime as Anton he was the last to hatch, this meant that he was smaller that his five brothers and sisters that hatched at the same time as him. When his parents brought home food fights were common among him and his siblings, the winner would get to eat first, Anton was always the last one to eat because he was the weakest. While his siblings grew larger and stronger, Anton fell behind causing his farther called him a runt for being so small, his mother took a much more synthetic approach, saving a little of her food for him to eat after the others had gone to sleep. It was during one of these play fights that Anton chipped his tooth.


When Anton was seven, his mother went out hunting and didn't return, his farther went out to find her, only to find a Zangoose had killed her. The two of them fought each other and despite the Zangoose's resistance to poison he lost and was killed. Life with out he mother was harsh on Anton, he wasn't fed nearly so much and he had to forage frequently to keep him self from going hungry, it was during this time that he became fond of berries


Slowly one by one his siblings got strong enough to fend for them selves and left home until only he and his dad remained. This lasted for a few years until his farther finally got fed up with his runt of a son and decided to throw him out, at the time Anton was only twelve. Since then Anton has been living by himself doing what he needs to survive and looking after himself.

 

[Monochrome]

Name: Julian
Species: Absol
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Appearance: A slender black and white Pokemon with a fine coat. The average coloring for an Absol aside from his eye color, a sharp mystifying gray-blue color that is softer than the usual Absols. He is roughly a foot longer than most Absols and his body holds a dominant appearance despite his passive behavior. His face is usually drawn into an emotionless state aside from the softness that his eyes convey. (I know this is lacking but I couldn't think of much more to write)
Personality: Very shy and secluded keeping to himself and avoiding other Pokemon in general, the shyness is even to a point where he refuses to make eye contact with others as well. He takes the roll of observer, standing away from other people and picking up their odd quirks. From time to time his loneliness does get to him and he will converse with himself or dig his nails into something solid in order to make a noise that will fill the soundlessness around him.
History: (What has happened to your character over their life, how has this made them who they are today. I would like at two or three paragraphs for this section. )
RP sample: (Please give me a sample of your work. This is very important, if this field has not been completed then your SU WILL BE IGNORED!)
