Reach into Time.. PG-14

A 'mazin RP hosted by the cool awesome rockin' YoshiRiRu.

Story

The world of Pok?mon is vast, diverse, and mysterious, with 3 sprawling regions; Hoenn, Johto, and Kanto. Johto and Kanto reside relatively close together, but Hoenn lies on the opposite side of a vast sea. How did this sea manage to separate 3 regions obviously so similar? A 4th region, of unknown proportions, once existed thousands of years ago. Or at least, that's what the books say. In recent Dives, however, signs of this mysterious 4th region have been found. Experts in Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn alike have sent in reports of artifacts from this "Lost Land" found thousands of leagues underneath the sea. Apparantly, ancient scriptures spoke of a supposed torrential downpour that was destined to come, and ruin this region of Kyou. Records from more recent expeditions return with records that this rainfall never came. How, then, did this gargantuan land just dissapear? Were Pokemon fierce beasts, or workmates, like the present? We may never know the answer to this questions masked in the everlasting reach of time.

The S.S. Elixer is one of the only cruise liners that makes the huge journey across the sea from Kanto to Hoenn. One way or another, you have found yourself amongst the crowd of tourists going back and forth between the two previously unaccesible regions. In the middle of the week-long journey, something goes amiss, and the massive cruise line begins to sink. You barely escape with your life and your pokemon.. and you end up stranded on a mysterious place days later. It's a strange place. The people dress and speak differently.. everything is different. As the day ends, you begin to wonder whether you remain in your own region.. your own world.. your own time..

Now it's your chance. You think there are other survivors of the boat crash somewhere nearby, but you don't know where. You want to go home, but don't know how. You want to learn more about where you are, but you don't know what. You're stuck in the past, but you don't know why.


This is a very free RP. Since this is an uncharted region, it leaves a lot of room to customize it to your liking. Keep in mind, however, that;

• You're in the past. Pokeballs haven't been invented yet, so don't expect to buy some Great balls at the nearest Pokemart.
• The people in this region, are also from 4,000 years ago. They aren't stupid, but don't try to explain electronics and such to them - they won't get it.
• Certain Pokes aren't around yet. Voltorb, Magnemite, and other mechanical pokemon don't exist yet.

Rules

As with any role play, this one has rules.

1. Proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling are expected. [Ala standard PC RP rules.]
2. At least 4 lines per post, please. I won't expel you if you can't crank out page long posts every time, but keep some description in 'em.
3. Godmodding/Bunnying/Bad sportmanship is frowned apon 'round these parts.
4. It goes without saying, but no spam. If you have to be told not to spam in the first place, don't even bother posting here.

Pretty easy rules to follow, but since they're so lenient, I expect them to be followed.

~My Sign-up.~

Name - Julian Kensington

Age - 15

Sex - Male

Description -

https://photobucket.com/albums/a134/MysticSwordsman/th_b1a8e444.jpg
Since that's only a face shot, I'll give you a bit more info. Julian stands at 5'11", average height for his age group. He has average length flyaway red hair, with deep green eyes. He is in shape, not exactly muscular, but enough to hold his own in a fight, if need be. He has small ears and a small nose. His usual apparel consists of faded blue jeans with cuts in various places, a black longsleeved shirt, along with an unbuttoned brown plaid light shirt over it. Avec classic black & white hitops.

Personality - Julian is a comedian. He loves to make people smile, and he's very optimistic. His wit and intelligence make for a very impressive amount of common sense. However, he can use it against people. His insults can be harsh, and his heart turns to ice when the situation arises. He dislikes the position of leader, but he is often thrust into the position, due to his amount of wisdom, and the fact that he can keep cool.

Pokemon Team -

Sandslash "image removed"
"Slash." Male. Julian's first Pokemon, Slash can be described as a "Cool cat." He always manages to keep his cool under any situation, and always takes his time thinking about his decisions. He has adopted a pair of sunglasses that he wears consistently. Dislikes Ash, because he gives a lot of orders.

Crobat"image removed"
"Flash." Male. Despite his sinister appearance, Flash is the most mild mannered and happy-go-lucky member of the team. It loves to battle, but it accepts losing as becoming stronger. It's wings are very defined and powerful, and it can fly at incredible speeds. Dislikes Splash, because he always follows him around, and Flash is expected to be kind to the young pokemon.

Growlithe"image removed"
"Ash." Male. Ash sees himself as the alpha male of the party. It gives orders frequently, and cares greatly for the welfare of his team. He is much like a military officer, and gives the highest respect to it's CO, Julian. He may seem gruff at first, but the care for his team is undying. Dislikes Clash, because she doesn't pay any attention to him.

Medicham"image removed"
"Clash." Female. Like her name suggests, Clash has yet to find the perfect balance between her fighting and psychic abilities. She is usually lost in thought, contemplating which is more important to develop. She doesn't speak much, and dislikes to battle when lost in thought. When forced to battle, however, she is a force to be reckoned with. Dislikes Lash, because he toys with her unability to be sure of anything.

Psyduck*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
"Splash." Male. Splash is very young and impressional. He can't speak yet, so he imitates the personalities of his diverse teammates to display his emotions. Usually, he doesn't battle well, but when his friends are in danger, he displays an awesome force that blows his foe's away. However, he doesn't recall it afterwards. He isn't dim-witted like most Psyduck, he is rather intelligent. Dislikes no-one.

Sneasel*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
"Lash" Male. As a Pokemon, Lash is useful, alright, but as a partner, Lash is indespensible. He is very humorous, and can always put a smile on people's faces. Also, as a Sneasel, he can get into heavily secure places in a ninjaic style. He ran into Julian and saved his life while he was on a cross country. He knows a lot about most places, and can read maps excellently. Dislikes Ash, because he hates taking orders.

History - Julian lives in Saffron with his Father and younger sister. His mother died in a tragic accident where she was lost at sea. Thus, the whole family is rather shaky around water. His father was a CEO of Silph Co. for many years, only finally retiring this year. In honor of all his hard work, they gave him and his family a retreat in Hoenn for a couple of months as a parting gift, via the S.S. Elixer.

RP Sample - Boom. Boom. Boom. A dull thud pulsed throughout the entire ship. Julian slowly opened his eyes, and looked around him. It was the middle of the night, and very dark. He turned on a light, and looked at his watch.
"3:30." He grumbled, and began to climb back into bed, shutting the light off with another disgruntled mumble. As he was just about to fall asleep, the loud voice of the captain boomed over the loudspeaker.

"Attention!" It roared in a shaky voice.
"Attention! A massive tentacruel has rammed the ship! The mid hull has been breached, all passengers report to the main de-" The voice was drowned out by a massive explosion. The entire ship lurched, throwing Julian to his knees. He quickly stood, and woke his family.
"The hell's goin' on, Jules?" His father inquired grumpily.
"The ship is sinking, Dad. We got rammed by a tentacruel!" He wailed, unable to keep calm any longer. He regained some of his composure, and spoke again.
"Head to the main deck, and board one of the Life Lapras' that they're deploying. I'll get Karen." His father shook his head viciously.
"No, Julian! You go! I'll take care of your sister. They may need your help on the deck. Perhaps one of your pokemon could help out?" Julian silently nodded - he knew there was no arguing with his father. He ran out of his room, down the velvet carpeted hallway, and onto the main deck. What he saw he couldn't believe.

It was a gargantuan tentacruel, perhaps fifty feet high, hurtling towards the boat at an ungodly speed. He had no choice. He ran to the edge of the boat, blessed himself, and dove off the edge. When he surfaced, he managed to get a glimpse of the boat erupting in flames and slowly sinking. He saw several Lapras and other large water pokemon ferrying people to safety. He swam towards them for what seemed like hours, however it was only a few minutes before they were too far away from him to keep swimming. He slowly sank into the grimy depths of the water, certain he would never see the sun again.

When he awoke, however, the sun had risen, and the sound of the waves crashing onto the beach filled his ears. He had made it!! He stood, and danced around happily. He stopped after a minute, and looked around. Immediatly his happy composure evaporated, leaving nothing but fear and woe. There was no-one else anywhere. He couldn't see the ship's wreckage, he couldn't see any water pokemon coming towards him for rescue, nothing. Then it dawned on him.
"Im on land.." He thought.
"But I'm way too far from Kanto, and Hoenn both to be on either of those.. Unless I floated for like.. a month." He looked around. The place was beautiful, that's for sure. But where was he? He stretched, and began to walk around the area. He didn't know where to look, so he walked in circles for about an hour. When he made it enough inland, he saw a small village. But, what was it? There were roman style pillars everywhere.. It looked like something smack out of his history book, there was no doubt about it.

He walked into the small city, and was shocked to realize that it wasn't purely architectural, everyone was dressed kind of funny, too. He couldn't exactly explain it, but it was obvious that he didn't fit the dress code, because everyone was whispering, and pointing at him. It was eerily quiet, and Julian began to feel uneasy. He began to walk faster and faster, and eventually broke into a panicked run.

As he left the city, he began to cry silently. There was nothing for him here. He released all his Pokemon, and embraced them. He cried for hours, cried for his father, his sister, and himself. He eventually fell asleep, with his pokemon snuggled up in his arms like so many stuffed dolls.

(That's kind of a lot, you don't have to have RP samples like that, I'm just showing you MY ability as a RPer.)

Er.. That's it.

My Form



Name: Eliadon Shyndow

Age: 14

Sex: Male

Pok?mon Team:

"image removed"

Pok?mon Species: Typhlosion
Gender: Male
History: Typhlosion was Eliadon's first ever Pok?mon. He had been wandering around Cinnabar Island, while his siter battled in the Gym, to earn herself a Gym Badge. There was a sudden break out of pandemonium, and Eliadon rushed over to see what was happeneing. A Typhlosion was out of control. Eliadon had immediately began talking with the Typhlosion, trying to calm it down. Once he had done s, the Typhlosion went on its way, and Eliadon was rewarded with an Egg from the inhabitants, which later hatched into a Cyndaquill.

"image removed"

Pok?mon Species: Tyrogue
Gender: Male
History: Tyrogue had been found by Eliadon in Viridian Forest, while he had been training with his Cyndaquill. Tyrogue had been extremely weak, and washed up. Eliadon took the Tyrogue to the Pok?mon Centre in Peweter City, and healed it. As soon as the Tyrogue had been healed, Eliadon challenged it to a battle, to capture it. The Tyrogue agreed. And so, the battle ensued, with Eliadon and Cyndaquill the victors, although Cyndaquill had nearly fainted during the battle.

"image removed"

Pok?mon Species: Victreebell
Gender: Male
History: Victreebell had been captured as a Bellsprout by Eliadon while he was travelling to Vermillion City from Saffron City. He had defeated a whole tribe of Weepinbells, and the Bellsprout has seen him do so, and promptly agreed to be Eliadon's Pok?mon. But the other Weepinbells disagreed, and made Eliadon capture Bellsprout only via a battle, and Eiladon happily complied, capturing the Bellsprout.

"image removed"

Pok?mon Species: Golem
Gender: Male
History: Golem was a very interesting capture for Eliadon. He had just come out from battling against a couple of trainer in Lavender Town, when he saw an Ekans. he h quickly captured the Ekans, and continued. But then he met up with a trainer who was not at all happy with a Geodude. Eliadon, himelf had been having problems with controlling the Ekans, and quickly offered a trade. the boy agreed, and traded their Pok?mon in the Lavender Town Pok?mon Centre.

"image removed"

Pok?mon Species: Pidgeot
Gender: Female
History: Pidgeot was probably the only straightforward Pok?mon capture that Eliadon ever done. He had been traing his Graveller near Fuchsia City, when he saw a group of Pidgeottos. He knew that Pidgeottos were quite strong for their size, and that they could evolve into the might Pidgeot, so he commanded Graveller to use Rock Throw on one of them. And the battle begun. Graveller had the natural advantage, and won, allowing Eliadon to capture his fifth Pok?mon

"image removed"

Pok?mon Species: Poliwhirl
Gender: Male
History: Poliwhirl was Eliadon lates capture. He had been wandering along Route 21, on his way to challenge the Elite Four when from the river he was walking past, a small Poliwhirl was washed ashore. Quickly studying the wounds, Eliadon concocted a paste from a couple of leaves from a tree nearby, and healed the Poliwhirl. The Poliwhirl gave up his freedon as thanks for what Eliadon did for him, and is probably one of Eliadon most loyal Pok?mon, second only to Typhlosion.

Personality: Eliadon is one of those people, who can wriggle out of almost any situation. If you drop him in the middle of a desert, he will find some use of that barren land, and find his way home. Same goes for conversation. If he's in a tricky position, he can talk his way out of it. On the whole, Eliadon does not like to be in the company of too many people. He is not what would be called a loner, but he takes time to trust anyone who he stays with. He even doubts his Pok?mon for a while before completely believeing them. But once he gets to know the person, he's quite friendly, and loves sharing little tit-bits of information on different things with the friend. He's also very loyal to his friends, although that takes real friendship.

Description: Eliadon is what most people would call lanky. He is tall, exceeding six feet, and because he is not fat, he is thought to be thin. But in reality, he's not all that thin, but because he always wears baggy clothes, and he's so tall, he seems thin. As said above, he loves to wear baggy clothes, and is only seen wearing baggy clothes. He has a black travelling cloak which he dons while travelling between towns or cities. It keeps out the worst of the elements. He also never takes of a silver chain from around his neck. While travelling, he prefers to wear sneakers, because they are a lot more comfortable to travel in. In his opinion.

History: Eliadon grew up just like any other child. The only thing was, that he never had any parents. His father was killed in a gang fight just after he had "planted his seed" for Eliadon to be born. His mother died while giving birth to him. His sister had already begun her journey as a Pok?mon Trainer when Eliadon was born, and so he lived with his grandmother. A spindly old woman, with no idea for anything modern. In fact, Eliadon was even made to take Elizibethean English classes, and he soon became an accomplished speaker. But his grandmother had many flaws, one of which was that she seemed to think that Pok?mon Training was the biggest no-no ever. Her husband died while training hi Pok?mon, although no one knows why. But since then, he's always wanted to be a Pok?mon Trainer, and ran away from home. His grandmother was furious, but when he returned with a wallet full of cash, half of which he gave her, she accepted that he was now a Pok?mon Trainer. After journeying around Kanto for quite a while, Eliadon got tired of the same scenery all the time, and decided that it was time to make a change. He heard from his grandmother of a ship called the "S.S.Elixer", that took trainer back and forth between Kanto, and the famed Hoenn. Eliadon knew that this was his chance.

RPG Sample:

As soon as I looked into those eyes of that Tyrogue, I knew it was ready. I knew that it could take whatever was coming for it, and would stand strong, never faltering. It was the true sign of power and endurance. But there was nothing enduring about those eyes. they pierced into mine like a dagger, sending spasms of mental pain through my body. But I couldn't give up. Not after seeing such determination is Tyrogue's eyes.

"Begin."

My voice sounded hoarse, and fearful. It was true, I was scared of my own Pok?mon's power. I knew that with such power in one's eyes, there was no way that one could lose in a fight, especially against a puny human. I trusted my Pok?mon not to hurt me too much, after all, I only wanted to train up for the Elite Four.

Yes, it sounds wierd that I should be training up, when it should really be my Pok?mon, but I read somewhere that a Pok?mon's physical status, reflects that of its master. I have seen many articles written against those very words, but I agreed with them. After all, if I was strong, then my Pok?mon would be influenced by it, and become strong, himself.

Tyrogue and I launched a each other with such force, that had we collided, I would surely have fallen to the ground, but I fell to the ground without touching Tyrogue. A hard and solid piece of rock hit me in the stomach from no where, and sent me tumbling down to the ground, missing a large boulder by inches. My poor Pok?mon found himself soaring right over me, an landing in a patch of grass, head first.

I sat up, looking at the piece of rock that had hit me in the stomach. I very soon learnt that it was no ordinary piece of rock, but a small broken piece of some jewel. Perhaps diamond, for it was translucent, almost transparent. But it seemed to have been broken so perfectly that I almost believed that it was meant that way.

Tyrogue came to my side, and immediately began to scan the vicinity for any idea ofwho or what had thrown the jewel at me. But what he found was something totally differernt.

This is from an RPG called "Broken Crystal, and War has Broken". Yes, I have mad ethe RPG here as well, but this one started at PE2K before it started here, so this is from there...what the hell, the hyperlink:

*pokemonelite2000 link removed*

And Now For an Original RPG Sample:

I woke up with a headache. It was no ordinary headache, mind you. It felt as though someon was beating my eardrums repeatedly with some sort of instrument. Most headaches leave a deep throbbing pain, but what I felt was sharp, and very painful. I kept my eyes closed, afraid about what I would see if I opened them. You see, the last thing that I remember, I was happily anjoying a cruise on the S.S.Elixer, when the ship had sunk. I had no clue why I was still alive, but was grateful that I was

I risked opening one eye. I peeped out through the small hole between my eyelids, and took a good look around. From what I could see, I was lying down on a beach. The sand felt soft beneath me, and caressed my back as I rolled about, gathernig up strength to stand up. It was evident that I had been floating at sea for a while, because draped over my clothes were several starnds of seaweed. Not only that, but I was soaked through and through.

I slowly raised myself into a sitting position, pushing my hands against the ground. I was careful to move with deliberate slowness, and calm, because my head still hurt. I took another look around me. Of course, in front of me was the vast expanse of the sea, stretching out until the horizon. But as I looked behind me, I realized the seriousness of the situation.

I couldn't see any for of civilization for miles.

All I could see was a thick mass of trees, which seemed t follow, parallel to the beach, which, itself was pretty long. The trees were not your ordinary same-old-thing type of trees, but these trees were sporting flowers of such awide variety, that it stunned me to think of the nature that we still had upon our very planet.

"****, did I get myself into some deep ****," I muttered to myself.

I stood up on my feet, and nearly fell back down again. It seemed that everytime I made a drastic movement, my headache began to get worse and worse. This was not working for the better...

 

[YoshiRiRu]

RP Sample - MANDATORY. (Let me see something original. Perhaps, describe the boat crash, and your first day alone on this new region. Make it substantial, please.)

Deathspector - Accepted... however, I wish you had read the RP Sample Rule. I would not at all be offended if you maybe typed something up more in the setting of the event. And in your history, how did you come across the S.S. Elixer? All of these things are mentioned in the sign-up sheet. Don't get me wrong, it's an excellent sign-up. But there are a few things I suppose you missed.

Cheers!

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

Good, a Pokemon RP that I'm in time for...all the other ones seem to be way too far in already...

Name - Jirae Flareback

Age - 17

Sex - Male

Description - Jirae is 5'10" and weighs about 130 lbs. He wears a black T-Shirt and long black pants, with a picture of a flame on the center of the T-Shirt and little flames on the bottom of the pants. He wears sandals that have a red base and black straps. His hair is brown, but is mostly covered by a black baseball hat with red, orange, and yellow lines making a plaid-esque design. He has brown eyes.

Personality - On the outside, Jirae seems to be a very self-centered person. He thinks of other people as lower then himself, and is very selfish. The truth, though, is that this is just an act to hide that he is a very kind person. When not around his friends(from home/school/etc), he is usually very kind to other people, but around them, he is selfish and snobby, because if he wasn't they would probably leave him. Now that he is not near his friends any more, he is usually very kind and caring for others, and is willing to die for his good newer friends and Pokemon.

Pokemon Team -

"image removed"
Blaziken
Nickname: Blaze
Gender: Male
Nature: Brave
History: Jirae started out in Hoenn, and was lucky enough to get a starter Pokemon from Professor Birch's lab. He chose Torchic, and became good friends with it as they trained through Hoenn. Together they got all 8 Gym Badges, but were never able to get to the Elite 4, for lack of money. Blaze is a very helpful and brave friend, and him and Jirae are willing to die for eachother.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Swellow
Nickname: Gusty
Gender: Female
Nature: Quirky
History: The first Pokemon Jirae and Blaze battled and caught was a Tailow. Jirae had tried many times to catch a Tailow, but finally caught one. It quickly warmed up to Jirae, and became very fond of him-and Blaze. Throughout their adventures, Gusty and Blaze became better and better "friends". Soon, Gusty also became willing to die for Jirae or Blaze.

"image removed"
Gardevoir
Nickname: Memory
Gender: Female
Nature: Quiet
History: The next Pokemon Jirae caught was a Ralts. Unlike Blaze or Gusty, she usually kept to itself, a very quiet Pokemon. As she grew stronger, Memory became able to read and understand the human language, but not speak or write it. Because of this, Jirae often lets her read books, and never leaves home without some in his backpack. Despite her quiet nature, Memory is willing to battle, as she does occasionally love to outwit Pokemon dumber then herself-and most Pokemon fit under that category.

"image removed"
Scyther
Nickname: Blade
Gender: Male
Nature: Rash
History: Blade was traded to Jirae by a penpal in Kanto. Because of this, Jirae had some trouble controling Blade at first, but Blade eventually became willing to listen to Jirae. Jirae is very careful with when he lets Blade out of his Pokeball, because one of the things Blade is notorious for is attacking any wild Pokemon in sight, even if it is stronger then himself. Neither Jirae or his penpal ever had enough money to afford a Metal Coat, so Blade never evolved.

"image removed"
Absol
Nickname: Razor
Gender: Male
Nature: Hardy
History: More then halfway through his journey for the 8 badges, Jirae caught Razor around Fortree city. Trying to find out what was blocking the way into the gym, Jirae came across an Absol battling a Kecleon on the bridge of route 120. The Absol emerged victorious, but it had been a tough battle, and he was greatly weakened. Jirae took this oppurtunity to capture the Absol. It took a while for Razor to forgive Jirae for capturing him while he was weakened by some other Pokemon, but he eventually did forgive Jirae and became a very hard-working member of the team. Now, Razor will stop at nothing to get a job done for Jirae.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Flygon
Nickname: Storm
Gender: Female
Nature: Gentle
History: The latest Pokemon in Jirae's team, Storm was a Vibrava that had wandered a little too far from home. Jirae came across her as he was crossing the water routes to get to Mossdeep city. Fatigued, the Vibrava looked like it would fall into the ocean at any time. Having learned from his mistake with Razor, Jirae did not capture the Vibrava. Instead, he swam over to it and caught it as it fell. Thankful, the Vibrava allowed Jirae to capture it. Storm is a very kind and gentle Pokemon that usually flys out to gather food when there is none around. She is very thankful to Jirae and repays him every day through her constant helpfulness.

History: Jirae was born in Littleroot town, so he quickly made many friends, as many people live in Littleroot due to the Pokemon Lab. A school opened up in Littleroot soon after Jirae was born, so he was able to get a good education. When he turned 10, Jirae wanted to go on his Pokemon adventure, but his parents insisted that he at least get through elementary and junior high schooling. Because of this, Jirae did not set out on his Pokemon journey until he was 14. It turned out that a surprising number of people either didn't want to go on a Pokemon Journey or were also being forced to stay at home, but this was not the case for Jirae's childhood friends. They all left on their Pokemon journies when they were ten, and Jirae never saw them again. He made new friends in junior high, and became quite popular, and developed his snobby outer attitude. When he finally left on his Pokemon journey, he was able to shed this attitude and show his true nature. He journeyed the land for 3 years and was able to get all 8 trainer badges. Unfortunately, due to being a pretty poor kid, he could not afford to go to Evergrande City and challenge the Elite 4. He heard about a trip to Kanto, and decided he had to go. He was still friends with his Penpal, and he wanted to go visit him in Palet Town.

RP Sample - Note: I RP in third person, if that's okay. Also, seeing as that this was the same crash, I'll use the same crash method as Yoshiruru used (tentacruel).

"Ben? Is that you?" Jirae asked the teenage boy that seemed about his age and oddly familiar.
"That depends, do I know you?" The boy replied.
"My name is Jirae Flareback." Jirae said.
"Jirae?!" The boy questioned in disbelief. "It's been so long! So, your parents finally let you on a Pokemon journey, eh?" He joked.
"When I was 14." Jirae responded, "I've already got all 8 badges, now."
"Impressive!" Ben exclaimed, "But not too impressive. I've already defeated the Elite 4."
"I would have also, if I could have afforded it." Jirae responded quickly.
"Want to test that theory?" Ben asked.
"Sure." Jirae replied. "Go, Blaze!" He shouted, sending out his faithful Blaziken.
"Hey! No Pokemon battles in the mess hall!" Shouted a chef. "Take it out on deck!"
"Come on, let's go." Ben said, walking up some nearby stairs.

"Alright, now we can get started for real." Jirae said, he and Blaze walking to one side of a battlefield painted onto the deck of the boat.
"Go, Mudfin!" Ben exclaimed, a Swampert emerging form his Pokeball.
"A type disadvantage? No matter." Jirae said to himself. "Ben always was worse then me in class."
"What was that?!" Ben yelled, furious.
"Nothing, nothing." Jirae answered. "Blaze, use Double Kick!"
"Blaaaaaa...ZIKEN!" Blaze exclaimed, running towards Mudfin and delivering two strong kicks to its face, knocking it back a few feet.
"Mudfin, use Surf!" Ben shouted. Mudfin stood on it's hind legs, waving its arms around. Water flew up from the sea below and came crashing down on Blaze.
"Blaaazeee...." Blaze muttered in pain.
"It's okay, buddy! You've withstood much stronger attacks then this before!" Jirae encouraged him. "Now, use Sky Uppercut!" Blaze ran towards Mudfin oncne again, and this time delivered a fast and furious punch upside the Swampert's head.
"Swaaaaaamp!" Mudfin exclaimed, recoiling back in pain.
"Shake it off, Mudfin!" Ben shouted. "Use Take Down!" Mudfin charged towards Blaze, hitting him with a full-body blow at ramming speed.
"You're badly hurt, aren't you?" Jirae confirmed. "Don't worry. He's hurting pretty badly too, look." He pointed to Mudfin, who was indeed panting. "We can finish him with this one. Blaze, Mirror Move!" Jirae exclaimed. Blaze began concentrating on the move he had just received, and then charged towards Mudfin. Blaze rammed into Mudfin with all his might, and knocked him back so far that he hit the edge railing of the boat. Mudfin fell to the ground, knocked out.
"Argh..." Ben muttered. "Mudfin, return!"
"Good game." Jirae said.
"Good game? That's not the Jirae I know." Ben said, suspicious.
"Uh...I mean...haha, you were weaker then me after all!" Jirae said shakily.
"No. Something's up." Ben said. "This is uncharicteristicaly nice of you."
"People change." Jirae replied.
"I suppose." Ben said, still a bit suspicious. "Ah well. I'm pretty hungry, are you?"
"Yeah, I guess so." Jirae said. "Let's go get something to eat."

Jirae and Ben were walking down the hallway of the boat, when they suddenly heard a loud crash.
"What was that?!" Ben exclaimed, already somewhat worried. The lights above their heads flickered, and then shut off.
"The electricity's out, that's all." Jirae said, trying to remain calm.
"Attention!" The loudspeakers boomed. "This is your captain speaking. We've been hit, and we're sinking. Please get to the main deck and board one of the life lapras as soon as possible. Once again, remain calm." Almost immediately, the hall flooded with people, frantically scrambling to get to the main deck.
"I've got to find my sister!" Ben exclaimed, about to run off down the hall.
"No! Ben, listen! What if you don't find her? Then we'll all be alone!" Jirae shouted at him. "It's best if we stick together! We'll find her on deck, don't worry!"
"Ugh, I hate to admit it, but you're right." Ben said. "Come on, before the Lapras are all gone!"

"Kathrine? Kathrine!" Ben exclaimed, frantically looking for his sister. "Jirae, help me look!"
"I don't know what she looks like!" Jirae shouted.
"Be-ben?" A small voice came from the crowd. Jirae looked for Ben, but he had already run off.
"Kathrine, is that you?" Jirae asked.
"Y-yes...who are you?" The little girl wondered, walking out from the crowd to Jirae.
"I'm Ben's friend. He ran off looking for you." Jirae replied. Kathrine began to cry. "Don't cry, I'll find him." Jirae reassured her. "Gusty! Find Ben!" Jirae exclaimed, releasing the Swellow from his Pokeball.
"Sweellow!" It said, flying off to find Ben.
"Don't worry, it's all going to be alright." Jirae continued to reassure Kathrine.
"O..okay..." Kathrine replied, holding on to Jirae's arm. Suddenly, the boat lurched. The deck fell to a slanted angle, and people began to fall towards the cabins.
"Hang on!" Jirae yelled to Kathrine. "Go, Storm!" He said, sending out his Flygon. He grabbed its tail as it flew above the crowd of falling people. From above, he spotted Ben and Gusty, struggling against the wind to get to where Jirae and Kathrine were.
"There's Ben!" Kathrine shouted.
"I know!" Jirae exclaimed. "Storm, let's go rescue Ben and Gusty!"
"Flyyyyy!" Storm replied, flying downwind to the cabins.
"Ben! Grab on!" Jirae exclaimed as Storm's tail dangled down. "Gusty, return!" He added on, returning the Swellow back to its Pokeball.
"Thank you for saving me and my sister." Ben thanked Jirae. "The old you would never have done something like that."
"Don't worry about it." Jirae said. "Storm, get us out of here!" The Flygon began to fly away from the sinking ship, when a large Tentacle grabbed it by the tail.
"FLYYYYY!" It exclaimed, struggling. Jirae looked down to see a giant Tentacruel, it's tentacles flying wildly, grabbing all Pokemon in sight.
"No!" Jirae exclaimed, as the tentacle swung wildly, shaking Ben and Kathrine off of Storm.
"Jirae!" Ben shouted, falling to the whirlpool below.
"Ben! Kathrine!" Jirae exclaimed, his hand outstretched futily. There was nothing he could do now. The tentacruel, satisfied with the number of Pokemon it had gotten, dove down beneath the surface, taking all the Pokemon with it. "Storm...return..." Jirae said, returning Storm to its Pokeball so it would not meet the same fate that he was sure he was going to.

"I'm...alive?" Jirae wondered, getting up. "But...where am I?" He looked around. He was on a beach, but he didn't recognize it from Hoenn or from the pictures of Kanto his penpal had sent him. There was a tropical forest leading from one side of the beach, and a cobblestone road leading from the other side. "Ben! Kathrine!" Jirae exclaimed, realizing that he had lost them. "They...they must be here somewhere!" He looked around, but there was noone else nearby. He decided to walk down the road, as it may lead to civilization, he thought.

"A city?" He wondered as he approached some tall stone structures. He began to run, hoping he'd find someone there who could help him. As he entered the city, he saw that it was quite bustling with people, all of which were wearing unusual clothes.
"Uh...hello?" He asked. People began to stare at him, as his clothes didn't fit in there. "Are any of you from the S.S. Elixer?" They looked at him in confusion.
"What's an elixer? Is that some kind of drink?" One man asked.
"No...it's a boat..." Jirae replied.
"Boat?" A woman questioned.
"They transport you across the sea..." Jirae replied, a bit wierded out.
"A raft?" Another man asked.
"Um...no..." Jirae said. "Look, it's obvious that none of you are from the boat, so I'm just going to be going now." He said, turning around and walking out the city gates he had come in.
"That was odd." The woman said, and everyone went back to their business.

So...yeah. How's that? ^_^

 

[YoshiRiRu]

Excellent sample, my friend. Excellent. I RP in 3rd person too, so that's fine.

Outstanding Sign-Up.

ACCEPTED!

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

Awesome. I've still got it after all...been so long since I RPed...

So, when do we start? After a certain number of people sign up?

 

[YoshiRiRu]

Well, we can't really start until we have maybe 2 more people, and then more as it goes on (Until a certain point.)

But, if you want to make a post, regarding your solo adventure, feel free to do so. After all, we all are alone until we all meet up. So if you're itching to start, help yourself.

 

[Loki]

Name - Lara Kon
Age - 14
Sex - Female
Description - Lara She also wears black skin tight boots that go to her ankles.
Personality - Lara is as sharp as her eyes, and her temper is as hot as magma. She's very sarcastic and is quite hot-headed, especially when it comes to arguments. Lara is a perfectionist, anything of her's that's not perfect, isn't good enough. She likes to work on strategies with her pokemon over and over again until they've got it perfect. She is relentless in her desire to win, to show people what she's made of, and to tell people that she's one tough b*tch. Her eyes are usually cold, angry or sarcastic, and they're rarely happy at all. She complains a lot and likes to complain to her pokemon or...people in general. She doesn't care who gets the butt of her complaints or anger, she just cares that they're even there to listen. Lara is easily offended, and get frustrated very easily.
Pokemon Team - Vulpix~ Female
Nickname:Sienna
History:Lara captured Sienna on her way back home, from school. Sienna is often seen hanging off Lara's shoulder, or walking next to her. At first, Sienna was very keen to stay away from Lara, as she had a dislike for humans in general, but after a few pokemon treats and some good old fashioned love, Sienna warmed up to her, though she still dislikes other humans.
Personality:Sienna believes that she deserves the best. She will not settle for regular pokemon food oh no, gourmet or near gourmet only! Of course, she's not going to go hungry for this, so she nearly always has to settle for regular pokemon food due to Ivory's limited budget. Sienna is stuck up, cocky, and likes to argue.

Shiney Rapidash~Female (is shiny okay?)
Nickname:Rapid Dash (Dash for short)
History: Rapid Dash, once a ponyta came into Lara's possession when she tumbled down a cliff and nearly crushed the girl to death by falling on top of her. After setting up a camp for the two of them to recover from the fall Lara teased the ponyta on it's rather fat belly, but good-naturedly of course. The Ponyta was determined to get in shape, to match it's special appearance, and began racing from destination to destination with Lara, and when Lara finally managed to get the Ponyta into a pokeball, it evolved inside the pokeball.
Personalityash is an energetic Rapidash who has boundless energy. She's hyper, optimistic, and one who always has to win the arguements. She dislikes snobby people and pokemon, creating tension between her and the little Vulpix. She's not afraid to say her mind, and she likes giving death threats to the male pokemon.

Kingdra~Male
Nickname:Jet
HIstory:Jet was caught a Kingdra, and a stubborn one at that. Even after being captured, Jet was rather indignant of the fact, and liked to spray Lara with a jet of water to show her his dislike for her. It didn't take her long to notice this, and she sent him off, though his party had already shunted him aside for being so weaks as to be able to be captured by a human, so with no other choice besides get eaten by a gyrados, he slid back into Lara's pokeball. He soon became used to his fellow pokemon's ridiculous arguements, and became the most passive of the party.
Personality: Jet is a passive, sarcastic, wise-cracking Kingdra, who is often sighing at his partners ridiculous antics. Especially since they always manage to drag him into the pranks. His patience is about .2 millimeters long, and when he runs out of patience, he solves the problem by blasting the annoying pokemon away with a hydro pump.

Cacturne~Male
Nickname:Shade
History:Shade was a gift to Lara from her father, who'd been ambushed by the very pokemon in Hoenn. He was subject to many painful hours of sitting in a pokemon center, the chanseys clumsily pulling out the spikes. Wanting nothing to do with the pokemon he'd captured to save himself from more needles, he sent the Cacturne to Lara, whom was extremely pleased, but not so much when the Cacturne deliberately gave her a hug.
Personality: Shade is very mischevious, and whenever he is let out of his pokeball and is not in battle, he'll walk up to a random person, give them a hug and stick needles in them in the process. He likes to argue very much with Sienna and Dash, as he finds them incredibly funny, but usually keeps quiet when they threaten him with a fire blast.

Gengar~Male
Nickname:Nightmare
History: Nightmare was a mischevious Haunter at the point Ivory caught him, and he decided to have fun by using dream eater on her. Unfortunately for him Lara's reaction to the dream was to throw all the pokeball in her inventory at him, catching him completley by surprise, she managed to capture him. He was at first angry at the fact she wasn't even conscious at the point when she capture him, but when he met Shade, they became best friends and, partners in crime.
Personality: Nightmare is just as mischevious as Shade, but instead of causing them physical pain, he causes mental pain with Dream Eater, his favorite move. He finds that Sienna and Dash are below his martial status, and ignore them with a refined air, and finds that Jet is a stuck up old coot who needs to get over himself. The only party member he ever agrees with is Shade.
((XD I love this team of pokemon))
History - Lara used to be told that she wasn't good at anything, considering that she used to have physical problems, she wasn't very good at sports and her determination to be good at sports brought her grades down. She always felt the need to show people that she was better than they'd ever be, but never got the chance, as she was made fun of as she stumbled around the school trying to get to classes on time. When the physical problems were gone, she was determined to make everyone sorry they'd laughed at her, though she was still quite fragile, breaking bones easily and bruising quickly. They still laughed though, saying she was a hot-headed girl in a weak body. She was quick not to trust anyone in Kanto anymore, and found that she wanted to leave. And so she did, taking the S.S. Elixir she wanted to start a new life in a different direction, where she wasn't called 'Glass-made Lara'.
RP Sample - "I'll show them who's boss right Nightmare?" Lara asked the Gengar whom stood silently beside her.
<Yeah, yeah we'll show em'> Nightmare said rubbing his stubby hands together gleefully <With a nice Nightmare here and there.>
<And a good hug!> Shade laughed as the two merrily exchanged their prank ideas.
<Oh my goodness.> Sienna said shaking her head, as she sat in Lara's arms <How immature.>
<Immature?> Gengar's usual smirk turned into a frown <How so?!>
"Well let's go!" Lara said ignoring her pokemon "We gotta get to Cinnabar Port."
She'd lived in Cinnabar for all her life and this was the first time she'd go to Cinnabar Port with a purpose. And it was to leave this stupid region. She'd said goodbye to Blaine, the only person on the island who didn't make fun of her, as strange as he was she liked to hang out at his gym, play with his pokemon and watch his Rapidash race against hers. Of course, his always won, unfortunately for Dash.
<Hop aboard ma'am.> Dash said cheerfully, trotting up to Lara to let her climb on.
Jet was stuck inside his pokeball, as he wouldn't be very fast on his...tail, but to make it slightly fairer for him, and slightly safer for the public, she returned Nightmare and Shade.
Dash took the pace in a quick trot, and in no time they were in the bustling crowds of Cinnabar Port.
"Blaine'll be busy today huh Sienna?" Lara asked the Vulpix in her arms while looking at an extremely large group of trainers, all psyching up for their next gym battle.
<I'll say. The crazy nut's probably going to scare half of them off though.> Sienna said sweatdropping, remembering how Blaine could act when he was excited about something. He may have lived in a body older than 60, but his mind was still the maturity of a 4 year olds when he was excited.
"There's our ticket outta Cinnabar. Afterwards we'll be on our way outta this region, and onto the unknown!" Lara said cheerfully as Dash danced in a circle around her, happy as well.

OOC: I'm guessing Elixir takes off in a town other than Cinnabar, so yeah.

 

[YoshiRiRu]

Naoko-chan: Very good.

ACCEPTED.

We'll take one or two more people, or if nobody else joins by the end of today, we'll start her up. As I said before, feel free to begin your solo adventure now.

OOC: Naoko, It takes off in Cinnabar, then goes to Vermillion, then to Fuschia, and finally back out into the open sea.

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

Hmm, I just thought of something...my character was taking the boat from Hoenn, while everyone else took it from Kanto. Yet it was the same boat trip. I'm going to be in a corner wondering how that's physically possible for some time IRL, I bet...

Perhaps there are two ferries? And they happened to both get rammed by a swarm of tentacruel? Since we aren't interacting on the boat, It'd be fine to say that, since there would be no 2 people in 1 place paradoxes.

 

[Arach]

Name - Bridget Murphy
Age - 18
Sex - female

Description - Only a little more than five feet, Bree is nonetheless built sturdily, with stocky limbs. She's fairly broad in the shoulders, and narrow-hipped. She keeps her red hair very, very short, like a boy; that way, she keeps cool in the summer, and doesn't have to worry about hat-hair in the winter. Her face is rather square, and her features are sharp, with a pronounced nose and a thin, severe mouth. Her brows are slanted downwards, so when she isn't smiling she always looks like she's brooding; her face suits her personality. However, to soften the image, her bony cheeks and narrow nose are covered in freckles; almost her entire body suffers from this plague, arms and legs alike. These dots of pigmentation are an endless source of frustration, because they seem to absorb any sunlight, becoming more pronounced as the pale, milky skin around them burns. Her eyes are dark beryl green, a stark contrast to the rest of her face. She wears an orange tank top with blue jeans and old red sneakers. Her ears are pierced, but only once, and she contents herself with small silver studs.

Personality - Bree is never satisfied. She can be happy one minute, but turn into a nagging harpy the next. She'll always find something that doesn't suit her, even if it's a tiny problem. However, unlike most complainers, Bree actually goes to the trouble of trying to fix what's wrong; therefore, she likes to be in a position of authority or decision-making so she can do this. Her pokemon can attest: she doesn't take second-best, neither from them nor from herself. She actually started training very late, at seventeen, and has a certain maturity or objectivity that most trainers lack. However, on the other end of that spectrum, she isn't as experienced as most and has some trouble developping relationships with new Pokemon.

Pokemon Team - All the pokemon on Bree's team are female. It isn't because she has a problem with males, or because she's lesbian, or something of the sort. She's just found that being a small group of females brings them closer together, as they share a common outlook. It can, however, be the cause of some spectacular catfights.

Eithne - Vulpix
Bree's first pokemon. Surprisingly, Eithne doesn't live up to the 'little fire' of her namesake. Even-tempered and gentle, almost motherly, it's her who makes sure that Bree doesn't kill them all attempting the impossible. She can be a little vain at times, but that's natural, considering she's quite a beauty. She and Deirdre don't always get along, but she does feel sympathy for the Nidorina.

Mairead ("MAY-red") - Milotic
The first time May and Bree met, all the young woman had to say was 'it's so fugly'. As things go with Bree, this initial dislike of the little Feebas' horrible looks led to daily, ritualistic care and cleanings. It didn't take long before, much to her surprise, the weak, useless pokemon evolved into a beautiful, powerful Milotic. By far the strongest Pokemon in the team, May unfortunately lacks a strategic mind, so she relies heavily on Bree to lead her.

Saoirse ("SEER-sha") - Skarmory
Very few things actually catch Saoirse's attention. Deeply apathetic, only in battle does she come alive. This trait gives her saintly patience and a bomb-proof temper; she remains level-headed in situations that would make even Eithne panic. As a result, Bree often trusts her to come up with strategies and plans when things go awry, and to break up fights and arguments. Not the strongest on the team, but the smartest and probably the most dangerous, when she decides to whip out those armored wings.

Deirdre - Nidorina
Unsociable and naturally wary, Dei's trust is hard to gain and even harder to keep. She can be very aggressive and nervous, often attacking at the first sign of danger. The only human she trusts is Bridget, and even then, the relationship is tense at best; Deirdre is just waiting for her trainer to slip up. Her many scars show she has been abused quite heavily in the past, and has stated on several occasions that she only follows Bridget because it's the fastest way to become strong. She and Eithne often clash whenever decisions need to be made.

History - Bridget's parents divorced when she was four years old. He moved back to his native Rustboro city, leaving her and her mother in Celadon. He tried to become a breeder, something he'd always wanted to do, but he didn't manage, and instead, turned his sights on working at the pokemon school, which yielded very positive results. Her mother worked two jobs--a day job managing the Dept. Store, and a weekend job at the casino--to keep them fed and sheltered, as her father sent meager child support. Growing up without any real male role model, on the beach near Cycling Road, the "spunky kid" made quick friends (despite her mother's warnings) with one gang of Bikers who hung out there. Like the big brothers she never had, the thugs watched out for her, and taught her plenty about pokemon; however, watching the (often ugly, dangerous) creatures fight, she developped a deep dislike for the sport, and refused their offers of pokemon eggs and joining their gang. Eventually the police cleaned out the then-corrupt area of the Road, and Bree migrated to the city proper, hanging out at the casino with her mother or doing small jobs at the store or the Gym. All this time she kept in touch with her estranged father, as their tight budget wouldn't allow her an extended visit.

She had a deep loathing for the frivolous girls at the Gym, finding them too airheaded and impractical for the harsh sport of pokemon training. It was, however, near the Gym that, at seventeen, she met Charlie, a promising young Trainer from Johto. He was dashing to the Center after having defeated Erika, because his Ninetales was giving birth. It wasn't love at first sight, per se, but Charlie did stay in Celadon three weeks longer than he'd planned, for her. Her mother warned her multiple times not to get involved with a trainer, but Bree was aready too far gone. Charlie revived the flame of interest in Training that slumbered within Bridget, and gave her his Ninetales' egg before he left. It eventually hatched into Eithne a few weeks later, and the two have been inseparable even since. Later in that seventeenth year, as she struggled to keep up with Eithne's rapidly-growing demands for love, care and training, Bridget came to the realization that she couldn't do this alone. Loath to turn to the Gym trainers for help, she called up the next best thing: her father.

Brian Murphy didn't particularly adore his daughter nor did he know her that well, but he wasn't unenthusiastic about a visit. Ditching school and ignoring her poor mother's frazzled warnings, she and Eithne leapt onto the first ferry for Hoenn. Bridget spent the rest of the year with her Father, learning how to properly care for the Vulpix, and, in time, the other pokemon she would own. He left his comfortable job at the trainer's school so they could travel together; he was enjoying his last long trip as a real Trainer and she was learning the ropes from someone with a tremendous amount of experience. They found plenty of common ground, and the estranged father slowly discovered he had a blossoming young woman for a daughter. It was then decided that she should visit every summer, and they exchanged all sorts of numbers and addresses to be sure to keep in touch. Now she's heading back to Kanto--and her weary, probably furious mother--without knowing what may lie ahead...

RP Sample - ((Whoo, feel the father-daughter lurve.))

The man waiting for her at the docks wasn't what she'd expected; not that she'd expected much. He had red hair and freckles (her red hair and freckles) but his mouth was wider and his grin was easy and smooth. He might've been seductive if he'd been twenty years younger, she mused. Stepping onto the pier, she shielded her eyes from the sunlight, and shrugged her blue jacket tighter around her shoulders. The soft sea breeze picked up, gently tickling her cheek.

"Brian?" she asked almost stupidly, as they came face to face. Vid-phone couldn't compare with the real thing. He was taller, infinitely taller, and broader (eight feet tall and four feet wide, like in the song), but not flabby and without any real signs of age. Hard to believe he remained single; although, it was a blessing considering what they wanted to do.

"You can call me dad, you know," he remarked, hands slipping out of his pockets to take her bags.

She snorted, "you know I couldn't. You're too **** cocky; your head'd just inflate more."

He knew, and he didn't comment about it. He said something under his breath about how lovely her little Vulpix looked. What was her name again? Eithne, right. A name he would've chosen. And his dear daughter; had she eaten? Was she tired?

"Hungry, tired and jetlagged. It's a week-long trip, you know. I spent my savings on that ticket."

Tourists are not Trainers. Trainers get all the good deals. He laughed.

"I know, I know. I'll reimburse you half, how's that?"

She accepted the offer, knowing he probably wouldn't do it; it didn't matter anyways, both of them had bigger fish to fry. She spotted the silvering hairs on his head, but he wore his age well. His wrinkles were laugh lines, his eyes twinkled like he was still fifteen. He probably felt like it.

"God, it's cold out here. So how're the kids?" The kids in his class, the wannabe trainers who fancied they could get a head start.

"Randi's got a knack with Electric types, it seems. I'm hoping she'll apply for an apprenticeship under Wattson, or even Surge."

"Cool. And what about that other one...Michael? The one with a Sandshrew?"

Brian's smile grew fond, "he's coming along great, he and Burrow make a good team; she's a much better strategist that he'll probably ever be, I'm afraid. How's Eithne in a fight?" He turned towards her, eyed the Vulpix at her heels. Unsure in this new environment, the small creature hadn't made much noise, and regarded the strange man with caution.

"She's pretty good. I've tested her out against the wild Vulpix hanging around, and against some incoming and outgoing trainers, she's never lost a match," she boasted, picking the young Pokemon up. Eithne nuzzled against her, and Bree smiled.

"Don't get cocky, Bridget," Brian warned.

She made a face, "don't call me that, makes me sound old. Call me Bree."

"Gotcha...Bree," he grins easily, putting an arm around her shoulders, "now, hungry for what?"

"Anything but seafood. I already looked up all the restaurants and bistros--we're going to Chansey's, on Fifth, past the Market."

Slateport was a big town; he didn't bother trying to know how she learned the directions so well. His daughter had her will, and when she had a problem, she found a way. He just chuckled, and lead her down a side street that would cut the time. The early afternoon sun was upon them, beating down, but the harsh wind made them all wear jackets. Eithne, from her perch on Bree's shoulder, enjoyed watching the hustle and bustle of activity, so different and so similar from Celadon.

"Got it. Chansey's it is. I didn't know you liked omelet."

"It's the farthest thing from Shellder I could find. I don't think I could look at another Shellder--even a live one--without vomiting right now."

"Ouch. I won't push it then." He checked his watch, "we have time for a quick meal before we get to Rustboro, if we want to be there by six."

She blinked at him, but her steps don't falter.

"Isn't it far? Like, ten hours away by car?"

"If we take the roads, yes. But we'll be flying."

"Wha? We're taking a pla--oh. Oh."

He burst out laughing, and she took the opportunity to smack him upside the head for it.

---

His house was small and horribly messy; a typical bachelor flat, and she said so. Too much junk on the floor, the ashes needed to be swept out of the fireplace, his curtains were raggedy, and there were cobwebs in the corner. The light of sunset filtered through those tattered blinds, crawling across the hardwood floor. Peck, the huge Fearow, sat preening in a corner. In the hall, Blaze, the magestic Arcanine, was gnawing a bone, while Jewel, the motherly Tentacruel, butsled about in the kitchen. She joked that he was already married, and he grinned playfully. Eithne was sent out of her pokeball, and quickly went about to explore. She quickly discovered Blaze was best left alone.

"I know. What a looker, ain't she?"

"Seriously, though. Your Tentacruel cooks?"

"Better than most of the girlfriends I've had. Does it bother you?"

"It amazes me."

"She wanted to learn, what can I say?"

After showing her around (this is my room, the couch, the kitchen bathroom living room etc.), he lead her to his meager dinner table, sitting her down before fetching a dusty old map of the region. Unfolded, the battered thing took up the whole space; the continent was huge.

"I didn't take this one with me the first time..." he thought out loud, sounding a little choked, and sat. "We'd better start in Littleroot; I need to get my Lisence and equipment updated, and you need to get all of that."

"Lisence? Equipment? Explain, you're making no sense."

He settled his elbows on the table and leaned forward to she could hear him better over the din Jewel was making.

"Well, Trainers all have a lisence. It's a wonderful plastic card that allows them to travel for free, get their pokemon healed at Centers, stuff like that. People take it for granted, but Training is harder than it seems. Statistically speaking, only 5% of kids who start a pokemon journey last for more than a month."

Her eyes widened, "why?"

"It's dangerous. Pokemon are more dangerous than friendly. Take a Rattata. At level 4, it's useless; at level 15, a good Bite will take a morsel out of your leg. Unless your Pokemon can put up a fight, you can get into serious danger. The physical demands are exhausting; I know you think Erika's a wuss, but she's been through her paces; she's strong."

Bree frowned and flexed her bicep, "I can handle myself."

He laughed and reach under the table to smack her calf, "strong down here, I meant. Look at those Gym trainers and Female trainers, look at their legs. Those aren't twigs they walk on, and they're not thunder thighs either. It's pure muscle. It's all hiking, 24-7. Sometimes it'll be even more hiking, when you go out of your way to catch a pokemon or train or other things."

She blinked, feeling put out, then set her jaw. "I can do it."

"Can you?" He looked at her seriously, in the eye. "I don't want you to back out on this. You can't quit if you say yes."

"I want to do this, and I will. I will, and Eithne's gonna be right there with me." The Vulpix leapt onto her lap and cried out encouragement. Brian smiled. "Alright, kiddo."

"Bree, please. I'm seventeen."

He sobered up, and gave her a once-over. "Yeah, you are. You're a woman now. For a new trainer, you're an old hag."

"And for a returning one, you're a fossil. How'd you get off work for this, anyway?"

"I have to report my status every two weeks, that sort of stuff. But they basically approve, it's not like it can harm my career to be even more experienced."

"Right. So, we leave tomorrow?"

"That's about right."

"Cool."

"Cool."

Hmm, yes, now that you mention it that does make sense. The two ferries could have been near eachother, when a school of tentacruel passed through and decided to attack both ferries...

 

[Deathspector]

I edited it, but I think that its' become too long, and I can't edit it now. :(. But anyway, you've seen how I RP, and I;m accepted, anyway...

[Jack_Skellington]

Name - Kiro Wakari
Age - 16
Sex - Male

Description - Kiro is 5'3, a very short height for a boy his age, has spiky brown hair with tied into a braided ponytail on his back, tan skin, and bright blue eyes. He wears a black shirt with a yellow vest over it. He has a pair of black pants, and red shoes. He also wears an aquamarine bookbag where he keeps his PokeGear, PokeDex, etc.

Personality - What he loses in height he makes up in skill. Kiro is a very firm and sane person. He is very sure of himself, and can sometimes be overconfident. He is a flirt, a pervert at times, and he is a natural-born leader. And sometimes, he can break down and become one big emotional wreck.

Pokemon Team -

Species: Flareon
Nickname: Ember
Gender: Female
Moves: Flamethrower, Tackle, Sand-Attack, and Bite
History: Flareon was Kiro's first Pokemon, but he got her as an Eevee. He trained very hard with her until he decided to buy a Fire Stone at the Celadon City PokeMart. When he evolved her however, she became entirely different. She became a bit snobbish, and a total jerk just because she became a bit stronger.

Species: Lapras
Nickname: Shelly
Gender: Female
Moves: Surf, Aurora Beam, Ice Beam, and Perish Song
History: Kiro had found Lapras when he was sailing from Pallet to Cinnibar(OOC:Yes, I know it isn't found there), and she just swam up to him, and battled him. She toyed with him at first, but eventually, he captured her.

Species: Snorlax
Nickname: None
Gender: Male
Moves: Rest, Hyper Beam, Snore, and Bite
History: This Snorlax doesn't have much of a history, except that Kiro found him blocking the way towards Lavender Town, so he battled him, and, well, captured him.

History - When he was just 8 years old, Kiro's parents had died in a car crash, and since that accident, Kiro has been living with his Uncle, who trained him and gave him his first Pokemon, and Eevee. Kiro had found himself to be on the S.S Elixer when his friend had given him a free ticket, since he had no reason to go. Kiro was reluctant at first to go, because he could just as well Surf on Shelly to each place, but decided to take his friend up on his offer, since, well, it is rude to turn down a request.​

RP Sample -

Boarding the ship, Kiro saw a man checking for tickets, as peple went in. He flashed his ticket toward the man dressed in a white Sailor's Uniform, and he gave gim a key. He walked inside the ship, and went to his room. He lifted the key toward his eye, and it said the number 332. He walked up the long flight of stairs until he got to the third passage, and walked through the semingly never-ending hallway. He walked and walked, unti he found his room. He slipped the key inside and turned it, opening the marble door. As he walked inside, the ship begane to shake, and then smoothly, outside the window, the boat began to move. Kiro looked outside the window and saw the dock seem to float away......

"Hm, I wonder how long this thing will take. Well, I better let
out everyone," Kiro thought, as he let out his Pokemon, except the Snorlax, which he kept inside, for he would literally sink the boat.

Lapras yawned, and then took a nap, while Ember followed Kiro around, rubbingagainst his leg. Kiro then decided to take a nap, and then lied on his bed, returned his Pokemon, and slept...........Mayday, Mayday! The boat is sinking! THE BOAT IS SINKING!!!!!........................................"What? What happened?!" yelled Kiro, as he looked around, the boat was shaking extremely hard. He ran outside and heard the captain say the words over and over again. Then, people were rushing outside, pushing each other in desperate hope of getting out. There was a bright red alarm-light flashing around. Kiro happened to find his way out, and then some overweight woman pushed him to the edge, where the shaking of the boat knocked him overboard, but he managed to call out Shelly before he fell into the Sharpedo infested waters. Unfortunatly, his head was knocked against Shelly's shell, knocking him out.....

"Oww....." were the only words Kiro could muster, his body sore. He woke up on a beach, Shelly on the shore, and he had no idea where he was. All he could remember was the boat shaking, the captain yelling over the P.A, and falling on top of Shelly.......As he stood up, and called back Shelly, some strangely-dressed people walked up to him, they seemed afraid of him, almost terrified.

(OOC: If this is too short, then I could edit it, but that's up to you)

Hmm, jack, not like I'm the person running the RP or anything, but In my opinion you left out quite a bit in that sample. You went straight from an alarm to waking up on a beach. No description of the crash, not even a transitioning bit...

Well.....He was sleeping....>_>.....

Somehow, I think a boat crash would have woken him up.
