~~Wars of the Elements~~
Plot
It has been twenty years since the end of the events which occurred in Pokemon Platinum. Since the defeat of Cyrus, the Pokemon world has been peaceful, with crime at an all time low. Teams Rocket, Aqua and Magma have completely dissolved, Team Galactic has become a legitimate and noble energy source and Team Snagem is the only true problem, but they are just petty thieves now. Things have been looking good, and this era of peace showed not sign of stopping. That is, until the most recent meeting of the Pokemon Leagues of each region...
About an hour and a half into the meeting, assassins attacked and killed everyone in the room but an attendant, who managed to escape on a Staravia. After the world heard about this disaster, panic struck in every major city in the world. There was no-one to enforce the laws of Pokemon. Without them, there would be crime syndicates terrorizing the land for eons to come. Everyone knew the solution was to make a new league, but who was powerful enough to keep order? The answer, though it lingered at the back of everyone's mind, was unvoiced. No-one could.
Eventually, the cities each elected a trainer who they thought was eligible to take control. But because there were so many cities, many trainers were elected, seventeen in total. One who specialized in each type. Another meeting was arranged, but in a secret location, away from the eyes of the public. During this meeting, there was a heated argument over who would take control of each region. Each trainer came away fuming at the other trainers and vowing to take control, one way or another. They formed clans dedicated to their type, and the clans each control a city in the Pokemon world, and there is tremendous friction. Orre, Fiore and Almia have managed to stay out of the ensuing tensions, and will most likely stay out of any fighting. War is imminent. There will be death and tears before the end.
You are a somewhat new trainer, visiting an occupied town, and you have either willingly volunteered or forcibly press ganged to join the local clan. Whatever happens, you know you will have to fight in the upcoming war, unless you can somehow stop it. What will you do? Will you try and stop the war, or try and flare it to unimaginable proportions? Will you try and influence an alliance with another clan, or crush all in your path? You and a few others hold the fate of the Pokemon World on your shoulders. How will you change the course of the future?
The Clans
There is bound to be a lot of confusion over this, so I will put a short description of each clan here. The only clan you cannot join is Electric, because that's mine. The description gives you a bit of insight into how the clan acts, so you should choose one which would suit your character. There will only be one person per clan, and not all of the clans will be used.
They are in alphabetical order, not in order of my opinion on how good they are.

The Bug Clan
Leader: Armena Vespida
Town: Azalea Town
Agent:
Description: The Bug clan, while not the most powerful of the clans, most of their followers are excellent espionage and sabotage experts. They are by no means poor at battling, but their work behind the scenes is where they are truly skilled. They are one of the slightly more peaceful clans, but they would still be willing to fight. They have made it clear they will fight only if they are provoked, but their spies and agents are everywhere, giving them a good deal of insight into enemy plans. However, the opposing clans are distrustful of the bug clan, meaning that diplomacy may be difficult.

The Dark Clan
Leader: Harry Umbreos
Town: Lavender Town
Agent:
Description: The Dark clan are as shadowy and mysterious as their type. They haven't made many serious actions against any of the clans yet, but when they have been involved in diplomatic discussions, their representatives haven't been the best of diplomats, making it clear that they will not participate in peacemaking activities, which makes them unpopular in towns where they don't have total control, but in the few violent skirmishes they have been involved in, their fighters have fought with a vicious passion and fanatical fury.

The Dragon clan
Leader: Draco Scalis
Town: Blackthorn City
Agent:
Description: The Dragon clan are reputed for being noble and kind, but they may be hiding a secret, or it could just be a malicious rumor spread by enemy agents. They are skilled fighters, but their numbers are few and aid cannot be found as easily. As well as this, due to the nature of their Pokemon, they can't have large teams because of the sparsity of their Pokemon, but their smaller teams are the most powerful in the Pokemon world, evening the playing field. They are known to have total loyalty in their controlled towns.
*WARNING* The Dragon Clan agent is limited to four Pokemon on his/her team!

The Electric Clan
Leader: Hamish Thunder
Town: Sunyshore City
Agent: Adam Locke (Vespinus)
Description: The Electric clan are very active in all affairs of government, but they shine in preventing discord in their towns. All of their towns have excellent power supplies, meaning that they have very good defense, meaning it's harder for other towns to take Electric influenced areas by force. Their leader isn't a skilled organizer, so their espionage and sabotage isn't as good as other clans, but it still isn't too bad.

The Fighting Clan
Leader: Bilbo Knuckles
Town: Cianwood city
Agent:
Description: The Fighting clan is one of extremes. They believe in pure power, so they often encourage military training in their towns, meaning there are many agents being trained, and they are of a good fighting quality. Although their towns are somewhat loyal, they are easily corrupted due to the fearful military presence in them, meaning their agents have a tough time stopping corruption, but it is, of course, still possible. They are known for a good measure of bravery in fighting.

The Fire Clan
Leader: Lamia Flaira
Town: Lavaridge
Agent:
Description: Although the Fire type is often thought of as a force for destruction, They are, in reality, slightly more peaceful than their reputation belies. Their agents are known to be good at countering Espionage in their towns, but only once the seeds of discord are sown, as they can't keep the populace happier than other clans, but they are very capable of stopping rebellion, through both diplomacy and force. Their agents are skilled at surviving in the wilderness, but they can be less comfortable in crowded areas.

The Flying Clan
Leader: Ariel Borea
Town: Fortree city
Agent:
Description: The Flying agents are swift meaning they can get to towns far away very fast, due to the nature of their Pokemon. They can be slightly susceptible to being weaker than other clans in battle, however they are in no way unworthy fighters. Their towns, though not necessarily disloyal, are more like a small state in their own right, but they are united under the Flying clan's banner, and if the need arises, they will fight for the Clan.

The Ghost Clan
Leader: Spencer Mystiere
Town: Ecruteak City
Agent:
Description: The Ghost Clan is one of the more spiritual clans. Their people believe in appeasing their ancestors and pleasing the Gods, meaning that their lifestyle is simple but not as rich or creative as the clans. They despise modern technology, feeling that their ancestors dislike it. They have a closer bond with their Pokemon, but their technology is nowhere near as advanced as the other clans, meaning that in combat, they can't heal their Pokemon without the use of berries.

The Grass Clan
Leader: Eric Von Leafring
Town: Celadon City
Agent:
Description: The grass clan is probably the most peaceful and pacifistic of all the clans. They believe that the clans should work together to stop the forces of evil, but despite their best efforts, the other clans have mostly seen them as the weakest of the clans. They are popular where there is no strife, due to their ideals and reluctance to fight, but in areas where there is civil or political unrest, they may be forcibly removed due tot he fact that they often try and stop civilians fighting and can get in the way of military operations.

The Ground Clan
Leader: Michael Terrius
Town: Underneath Viridian City
Agent:
Description: The Ground clan is unique in that it does not influence any city, but instead has a totally loyal underground city full of only clan members and loyalists. This makes transportation difficult, but they are almost impossible to truly root out and eliminate, as their agents are always very skilled diggers and miners meaning that they can dig in to make fortifications or even small underground camps.

The Ice clan
Leader: Articus Melinine.
Town: Snowpoint
Agent:
Description: The Ice clan are harsh and severe; they need to be in order to survive. The areas where they have influence are less like cities and towns and more like barricades and fortresses. They've had the misfortune of being forced to the north of Sinnoh, which provides excellent tactical defense but very poor communication and transportation. Their agents are skilled guerrilla fighters but if it comes to a open battlefield then they may not last long.

The Normal Clan
Leader: Johnathan Brown
Town: Petalburg
Agent:
Description: The Normal clan are very balanced. they aren't particularly bad at anything, but they don't have any particular strengths either, other than communications. The Normal Clan's communications system is second to none, using surprisingly high-tech machinery to deliver their messages. Their agents are known for their balanced skills as well, meaning that they could possibly be seen as the best agents of all, however this is merely a matter of personal opinion.

The Poison Clan
Leader: Arthur Cyanis
Town: Fuschia town
Agent:
Description: Using their type's skills to their very best, Poison agents can;t be placed under a generalization other than the fact that they are deadly saboteurs, however many of them are disloyal to the clan and there have been a rash of reports of rebels, deserters and rogues. However, due to the somewhat vicious nature of the leader of the clan, many thieves, bandits and criminals are inclined to join the Poison clan because of the excellent protection the clan provides from the law.

Town: Oreburgh city
Agent:
Description: The Rock clan are the most defensive of all the clans and are mostly interested only in defending their lands rather than crushing the opposition. Their technology isn't as good as most other clans but their somewhat primitive fortifications are actually stronger than those of opposing clans. Their agents are experts in the arts of defense but not so skilled in attacking enemy towns, but the possibility remains.

The Steel clan
Leader: Angela Barbas
Town:Canalave city
Agent:
Description: The Steel clan has the best and most advanced technology in defense, transportation and in a way weaponry of any other clan. This should mean they could easily win the war, but their industrialization of towns makes them extremely unpopular, meaning without skilled agents to prevent towns revolting and expelling Steel influence, the Steel clan would quickly lose control of the town. Canalave is the only place where they are truly accepted, but even there citizens complain they are overworked and underpaid.

The Water Clan
Leader: Maria Atlanta
Town: Pastoria City
Agent:
Description: The Water clan are the most interesting of the clans,or at least their agents are. Every agent chooses to specialize in one or maybe two arts but are given either no or very little training in others. This makes them adaptable but unreliable. Should they come under serious pressure and begin training agents specialized in one area, after the crisis is over their other areas will be detrimentally damaged. Their belief in freedom means they have to rely on diplomacy to stop them coming under pressure, or they will crumble.

We will almost certainly not use use all of the clans, I want to limit it to about seven to ten people, I just wanted to let you choose which type you want rather than force you to choose.
Clans Taken:
Bug Clan (Vespinus)
Dark Clan (Pokeblast is Reserved)
Dragon Clan (Proddit is Reserved)
Flying Clan (Dragon Song is Reserved)
SU
Name:The name of your character.
Age: The clans are desperate for trainers, so any age between 10 and 30.
Clan: Which type do you follow?
Appearance: What does your character look like? Have they any interesting features? 1 paragraph or more.
Personality: How does your character treat other people and Pokemon? Are they intelligent or polite, etc. 1 paragraph or more.
History: A brief history of your character. 1 paragraph or more. Also put in how you joined the clan, where you forced to or did you choose to join? The Water clan member must have joined by freedom of choice.
Pokemon: Remember, you are a new trainer who may have a couple of medium strength Pokemon, and I don't think it's realistic for a new trainer to have a Salamence or a Charizard. You will have the oppurtunity to catch and evolve more Pokemon, but only those of your type. You may start off with one Pokemon which has evolved once and a Pokemon who has net yet evolved. Pokemon which cannot evolve count as the evolved Pokemon. The Dragon Clan agent is limited to four Pokemon on his team at any time. I also want at least a paragraph on how you met your Pokemon, it's behavior, etc.
Rules:
The rules are here for a reason. If you break them, you will be kicked out of the RP.
1. Be courteous and kind to other RPers.
2. No Godmodding, Bunnying, etc.
3. Don't make your character perfect, I can't stand that.
4. At the top of your SU, Before you write anything else, put "The writing is green and red" So I know you read the rules.
5. I only accept latecomers if their SU is spectacular.
6. Have fun RPing!
And that's it. I'll post my SU as soon as I can.
