Region of The West: A Quest Across Ryko

[Random Plushie]

Several long years ago, Hoenn dispatched a small group of explorers to search the lands west of their region. They didn't need to wander as far as planned, however, for across several hundred miles of ocean water, which was merely a fraction of what was expected, the explorers hit land.

It proved to be a region unlike the other four, and within a few weeks of the first humans setting foot on this new land, there was no current resident of the other four regions that didn't know of this fifth country, which, in no time, had earned itself the name of Ryko.

The explorers, only just beginning to start settlements in Ryko, called more and more people in, towns and cities spreading throughout the region like one giant termite infestation. The humans dominated slowly; settling in one place, becoming familiar with the area, then sending another group of explorers that had been called in to move on to another location, moving away from the relatively safe coastlines and further inland, towards the more remote and unpredictable environments there.

Each settlement became one with the land on which it was built, uniting with the native Pokemon and beginning to live in harmony. Of course, back in the other regions, this meant a longer wait for the signal that it was safe to move in, since there was still much of Ryko that was in need of scouting. The settlers thought nothing of it, conquering Ryko at their own pace and further encouraging impatience among the other regions.

After years of this type of domination, the discovery of Ryko became old news, because it was taking much too long for the explorers to cover the extent of the territory. It became nothing more than a random vacation spot for the future, and the general public lost interest in moving in.

Over time, this allowed the explorers that had made settlements across most of Ryko to live without being bothered by the outside regions. Because of this, the people began developing their own lifestyles within each settlement, which ultimately ended up differing from that of the other regions. These people became the first to be considered true natives of Ryko.

In short, Ryko was allowed to grow on its own without any influence, and as a result, the first line of Gyms (not to mention League) in the region gained unique rules and battlefields unlike those in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, or Orre.



In the present time, a professor has finally set up a place of Pokemon research on the coastline of Ryko, located in the first town to have been built as a settlement for humans.


This professor goes by Prof. R. Chrysso, and is unknown to the other regions, seeing as how truly isolated Ryko has remained, but nonetheless he claims to be a professional. Indeed, after merely a few years of taking up research in Ryko, he also claims that he has reached a breakthrough in technology.

But the problem is; he's too much of a nobody. How is he to get anyone outside of Ryko to listen to him? What he needs first of all to prove his theory is test subjects for his technology.

And what could be a better source of such subjects than energetic young trainers and co-ordinators?





---------



You can be either a Pokemon Trainer or a Pokemon Co-ordinator from one of the four regions neighboring Ryko, with a few years of experience under your belt. Like most residents of these regions, you don't know much about Ryko other than it's a land far away that took a long time to explore.

You have recently received a letter from someone who calls himself Prof. R. Chrysso. In this letter, you are invited to attend a presentation by this professor, during which he will reveal to you his 'special invention' that he claims will be of great assistance to the well-being of your Pokemon.

He mentions in this letter that transportation has already been arranged, based on where you live (which basically means a boat for everyone); all you have to do is show up on the designated day of the presentation at his lab in Meridian Town, located in far-off Ryko.

Yes, to most this so-called 'special invention' already sounds cheesy and weird. But hey--Even if the presentation is as cheap as it sounds, at least you'll have scored a free vacation.

Here is my sign-up:




Name: Oliver Tan
Age: 14
Gender: Male

Appearance: This guy is a red-head, and a spiky-haired red-head at that, although he attempts to keep his hair from spiking directly up by wearing a headband that is a deeper shade of scarlet than his hair. This doesn't stop his bangs from growing downward, though, which gives him a rather awkward hairstyle. His eyes match this, however, the red shade of his hair being complimented by the green of his eyes. Of course, due to his temper, most of the time you'll hardly notice that.

As far as clothing goes, the boy is often seen wearing a mustard-yellow colored hooded sweater, which is probably over a shirt of some kind. The sleeves of this sweater are actually so long, though, that you can barely see his finger tips sticking out. Along with this, he wears baggy jeans that seem a bit too large for him, probably a hand-me-down, which is further suggested by the stitches in the left pant leg.

To carry items and such, he is equipped with a fanny pack that is dark blue in color, almost blending in with his pants. However, because his sweater is so big, this fanny pack, not to mention the boy's Pokeballs, are usually hidden from view.

Overall.. Oliver is short. Very short for his age. Based on height alone, he looks to be about 12 years old. Don't let this fool you, though, for once he gets ticked off, stopping him can be quite the task.


Personality: The thing about Oliver's personality that you will probably become familiar with first is his abnormally short temper. He is especially sensitive to remarks about his height, and his constant proclamations that he is indeed not short when the subject comes up will remind you of that.

He is always quick to get angry, and quick to lose his patience, but usually not during Pokemon battles. If he does, it is usually because he has lost his temper at the guy on the opposite end of the field, and not over a situation in the battle itself.

When he is not angry or ranting due to his temper, he is fairly calm and collected, although he does have an attitude, which usually involves sarcasm. Basically, if he hasn't labeled you 'friend', he's not a very nice person to come across. And even if he does consider you a friend, his temper will stand strong, and so will his sarcasm when he's calm.

However, he does have a soft spot for his Pokemon. It's obvious that he cares deeply for them, but he will never admit that to anyone. He tends to be strangely patient with his Pokemon and will rarely lose his temper, however short it may be, over their actions.


History: Oliver was born and grew up in Olivine City, never really exposed to anything outside of his home town, or anything not covered in television programs. His parents own the local Poke Mart, which to this day is their main source of money. It may not seem like a very reliable source, but being the only shop in town that sells Pokemon-related items can seriously rake in the cash.

As a result Oliver lived a quiet, pampered life, enjoying the fact that Olivine was near the coastline, therefore allowing him to take strolls along the beach, the ocean that lay beyond becoming something he frequently enjoyed.

It wasn't until his ninth birthday that he received his first Pokemon. His mother and father gave him an Eevee as his present, which Oliver named Piro soon afterwards. This immediately squashed his parents' dreams of him someday taking over the family business, of course, because Oliver immediately became intent on training Piro up to be a champion someday. And who knew, perhaps he'd even manage to train up a whole team!

His parents weren't too thrilled about that, naturally. They convinced themselves that their son would give up on the 'becoming a Trainer thing' because they believed he didn't want to make that much effort.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending upon whose side you're on), they were wrong. When Oliver received a Teddiursa for Christmas the next year from a good friend, the boy was dead set on becoming a Trainer. Naming the new Teddiursa Yoku, Oliver continuously asked for his parents' permission to set off on a journey.

Weeks went by, and through all that time Oliver's parents refused to let the boy go. During this time, Piro and Yoku took to watching crime investigation dramas together, and soon both of them had become convinced that they were eligible for becoming secret service agents. Or FBI agents. Same difference.

And finally, when Oliver asked for permission again on the twenty-sixth consecutive day, his parents gave him their consent to leave Olivine City with Piro and Yoku in tow. The boy wasted no time with celebrating this, although Piro and Yoku would've preferred it because they were going to miss their shows if they left. It wasn't long before the boy was ready to leave, considering his parents owned the Poke Mart.

And so Oliver left his home town, Piro and Yoku following, while still sulking over the fact that they wouldn't have television on their journey. Oliver's first goal once he had set off was to make an attempt at training his team as best he could, and then like a normal Trainer he would set out for badges. And perhaps he'd even manage to catch more Pokemon. Flanked by his two best friends and cloaked in determination, the boy set off into the world.


Two years passed. Oliver still hadn't completed training to the point where he was satisfied with his progress, or that of his Pokemon. He hadn't even traveled across much of Johto yet. However, he had made attempts at collecting badges, obtaining the Fog Badge with.. difficulty. He also returned home to challenge Jasmine once, but the result wasn't too nice. In fact, he was massacred by the Steel Gym Leader, having to endure a brutal loss.

Shocked into an emotionless state (which went away after a few days), Oliver convinced himself that he needed a lot more training before he could even consider challenging a Gym Leader again.

After two years of more training, evolutions among his Pokemon, and also catching two more Pokemon, Oliver hadn't made another Gym challenge. Even after such a long time since losing to Jasmine so humiliatingly, he refused to muster up the courage to make another Gym challenge. He instead chose to hang around home often, while maintaining a routine of training and raising his Pokemon. He never dared to think about Gyms.

His parents were thrilled at this decision, but they didn't get as much time to enjoy it as they would have liked, because soon after that, a very strange letter had arrived for their son..



Pokemon:

Espeon (Male), Piro
Oliver's first Pokemon, usually found patrolling the area near the Trainer's feet. Otherwise he is scouting the area, attempting to pick out 'potential threats' and positioning himself between his Trainer and the 'threat.'

Piro is rather peculiar, always wearing dark sunglasses and rarely showing emotion other than those revealed in his voice. Through months of watching countless FBI dramas and other related shows, this Espeon has come to develop a sort of "FBI attitude," which can make him seem quite over-protective of his Trainer.

When he speaks, he tries to maintain seriousness, often containing laughter and forcing himself not to crack even the slightest of smiles. As a result, other Psychics may detect some self-conflict within him. Either that or he just really wants to be a typical stereotyped FBI agent.


Ursaring (Male), Yoku
Yoku became Piro's best friend soon after he was given to Oliver, soon coming to share the Espeon's passion for crime investigation dramas. This results in Yoku wearing the same kind of shades as Piro, and also in the shared passion for 'upholding justice.'

But what makes him different from Piro is his lazy side. Yoku prefers napping and standing around just looking cool rather than seriously promoting their 'official' image. He also tends to show more emotion than his Espeon friend. Instead of trying to be serious and contain all of his emotion, Yoku tends to reveal it more.


Flaaffy (Male), Makamo
Makamo was the first Pokemon that Oliver managed to catch on his own, on the way back to Olivine from Ecruteak. He wasn't part of a group of Mareep or anything at the time. No, for some reason he was wandering about on his own, but all the same Oliver quickly decided to catch him.

This Flaaffy is actually rather jumpy, and tends to be afraid of.. Well.. everything. As a result, he always seems to be alert, wide-eyed, and shivering, often throwing up Light Screens in self-defense and shocking anything that scares him too suddenly. It is highly advised that one doesn't sneak up on him from behind. In addition to his 'fraidy-cat personality, he is actually quite gentle-natured and doesn't like to attack unless it's necessary, or in other terms, when he's too scared to care about being gentle.


Houndour (Male), Akeru
Akeru was caught after Makamo, several months after Oliver lost to Jasmine. Found wandering the streets of Olivine City as a pup, the Houndour recalls little of his life prior to living on the streets, but he doesn't really care. He considers life with Oliver 'fun,' and sees no point in trying to remember his past. Akeru's main priority: Just have fun.

This Houndour practically radiates energy. He simply can't get rid of all his excess energy, no matter how far or long he may travel in a day. He is innocent enough, and is often a source of annoyance when you combine his optimism and excessive hyper-ness. To top it all off, he has a tendency to be especially curious, and will not hesitate to pry into someone else's life as soon as he meets them.

He also has a habit of collecting twigs and tree branches, then placing them all in a pile. He usually does this whenever the group he's in stops to take a break, or he finds that he has nothing else to do/everyone is ignoring him. The latter occurs most often.


Other: N/A


RP Sample:


The skies were clear that day, allowing the full force of the sun's rays to come streaming down onto the beach, instantly reflected by the ocean water, which created dazzling sparkles of light over the ocean swells that would be potentially blinding if one were to stare at it for too long.

Yes, perfect beach weather.

But for some reason Oliver was the only Trainer sitting on the beach at the moment. In his hand he held a reasonably sized stick, which he had taken from the pile of twigs that Akeru had managed to pile up near him. In fact, the crazy little Houndour was out near the water again, running out as far as he could go in order to reach for a piece of driftwood out on the waves. Of course, as soon as the next wave came in the Houndour was forced to retreat, barking loudly in defiance at the water that dare separate him from his precious wood. He advanced as soon as the water pulled back out, attempting again to retrieve the driftwood floating out on the waves.

Piro was out of his Pokeball, too, as usual. The Espeon was actually laying off his strange attitude for once, basking in the warmth of the sun, curled into a ball and sleeping through Akeru's barking. Every so often one of his lavender ears would twitch in response to an especially shrill yap or such, but nonetheless he slept on, near that pile of sticks.

Oliver had turned away from that now, letting his Pokemon relax while they could. He had been training them a lot lately. However, he was still sulking over that last battle with Jasmine, and as such he was reluctant to try again. Clutching the stick firmly in his right hand, he began to write a message in the sand, then watched as the ocean water rose up to wash the whole thing away before he was done, although the water never came up as far as to get him wet.

Saying nothing, he began to write again, only to stop and watch as the waves washed it away once more. He sighed mentally, knowing that it would be more sensible to simply write the message someplace in the sand farther up the hill, but then again, he still wasn't sure if he wanted anyone to read his message anyways.

A howl of joy snapped his mind back to reality, causing him to turn his head towards the source of the noise, his spiky red hair acting accordingly and naturally shifting with his movement.

His deep green eyes instantly lit up a bit at the sight of a blissfully unaware Akeru proudly dragging a the piece of driftwood away from the water, and back towards the pile of sticks. It calmed Oliver to see such innocence.. When you were someone as young and energetic as Akeru, it must've been a lot easier to make decisions.

{Look! I got another one!} Akeru yapped, dropping the driftwood onto the pile, then proceeding to look up at Oliver and beam. {That's better than you'll ever do! Uh-huh!}

Oliver frowned, having gotten used to the Houndour's speech patterns by now, while Piro wrinkled up his nose in annoyance. Akeru's constant jabbering was disrupting his nap. Oliver said nothing, though, nodding at the little Houndour before the Dark-type turned away and began to trot back towards the water. Once more, Akeru searched for wood to add to his latest pile.

 

[Alter Ego]

Yay! Congrats on your first very-own RP Plushie! ^0^ *Throws confetti*

Sign-Up Form, Y'all:

Name: Yikari Arikawa
Age: 15
Gender: Male

Appearance: Standing at a good 1,76 meters of height with a slightly skinny bodybuild, Yikari is fairly tall for his age and his skin is of a fairly pale pigment, although not deadman-pale mind you. Yikari's face still has that smooth, somewhat boyish appearance to it that makes him look younger than he is to most people. His hair is dark brown and usually kept at a fairly short length, stopping a fair bit before reaching his shoulders, and usually looking like it has been neatly combed over his head, although wether the boy spends plenty of time in secret with a comb or wether this is just a peculiarity of his hair is unkown. Yikari's eyes are of a slightly lighter shade of brown, and they, combined with his innocent smile, have saved him from a couple of sticky situations during his life. For clothes, the boy usually wears a shirt, usually dark green or dark blue in colour, a pair of greyish white shorts which end a bit above his knees, and a pair of equally coloured, and quite considerably worn, sneakers, although odds are that the sneakers were originally white. The boy usually travels light, carrying whatever possessions he needs in the various pockets, some of them concealed, which his attire posseses as well as a reasonably sized sack of cloth, dark blue in colour and secured with a length of black string around the mouth of the sack and another attached to serve as a strap for carrying it over his shoulder.

Personality: A predominantly cheerful, go-lucky, and extroverted person. Yikari is a sworn opposer of sulking, brooding, depression, and dullness in all their incarnations and is willing to put quite a bit of effort into ensuring that as few of the people near him end up suffering from them as possible. He's practically always willing to play a prank, tell a joke or one of his more or less exaggerated stories, or poke fun at a particularly dour or pompous person in his vicinity. He's also quite often lazy, loves to cheat in small things, has very little regard for authority figures, and can be a bit of a coward when things get too serious. The boy's disrespect for authority figures also translates into a disrespect for rules and regulations in general, and he has no qualms about breaking a law which he finds too restrictive, all in the name of good cheer and curiosity. Sometimes, though, from behind his cheerful, reckless, and rather chaotic behaviour, Yikari can exhibit quite grave seriousness and shame in certain matters, although it is rare in the extreme for him to do so, and indeed, perhaps these concealed emotions of his are partially the reason for his strong conviction to keep everyone from brooding.

Pokemon:

Croconaw "Marco" (Male)

Yikari's first pok?mon. The boy ran across this pok?mon by pure chance as he was taking a small nap in the shade of a tree by the river running by his hometown. The boy was just about to drift off into blissfull sleep when he suddenly felt a strong tug on his shoelaces and, before he knew it, had been pulled down into the water. Luckily, the river was a fairly calm one, and after a bit of struggle the boy managed to haul himself up, a short investigation of his shoes revealing a small Totodile who was chewing at the boy's shoelaces with a blissful expression on his face. It soon turned out that the little crocodile, whom Yikari soon dubbed 'Marco', wasn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box. Apparently, the water type has developed a very particular taste for noodles and, according to his own words, considered that Yikari's shoelaces were quite exquisite in that regard. Having provided the Totodile with a suitable meal, Yikari had no problem in gaining his trust and the two soon grew to be partners. While Marco, as previously mentioned, isn't particularly bright, he's a very confident and friendly pok?mon who always tries his best and has a very strong intuitive belief of what is right and wrong. He is also strong even for a member of his own species, and quite stubborn when he puts his mind to it, and if anything, his evolution has only served to enhance those traits. Luckily, the Croconaw rarely bothers to ponder deeply on matters, usually relying with an almost childish conviction on Yikari's judgement, trusting that the boy always knows what to do.

Haunter "Hagure" (Male)

A playfull and mischievous pok?mon quite close in personality to his trainer, Hagure first met up with Yikari and Marco as the two were out on one of their nightly excursions, having, by chance, happened to grow curious about the very same building. Amused by the possibility to cause some mischief, the Haunter promptly proceeded to stalk Yikari, waiting for the right moment, at which point he clasped the boy by both shoulders and screamed into his ears at the top of his voice, startling Yikari and causing him to trigger an alarm in the building they were in, forcing both the boy and his Croconaw to make a hasty retreat with a manically cackling Haunter at their tails. After that incident, Hagure continued to follow the duo, leading to a myriad of precariously placed water buckets, tied together shoelaces, sudden scaring ambushes and other pranks directed towards the boy and his Croconaw. Yikari soon grew to learn the Haunter's patterns however, rigging up a counter-prank so complicated and well executed that the Haunter actually grew to respect the boy, agreeing to join his team so that both could learn from each other. Since then, the two of them have spent plenty of time laughing, joking, conning, and playing pranks on carefully chosen individuals, and generally getting into trouble in any way they can, staying true to their guiding principle 'If it's not fun, it's not worth it.'. Hagure is perhaps the more recklessly mischievous of the two, however, being far less discerning about whom to mess with and how much than his trainer.

Houndoom "Hiro" (Male)

Yikari's latest catch to date. Unlike his companions, Hiro is a quiet, pragmatic, and rather dour pok?mon. He rarely smiles, and even then it's usually a gleefull kind of smile, speaks very little and only if he thinks it's necessary, and enjoys being alone with his thoughts most of the time. He is not one to make jokes unless they are sarcastic in nature and hates it when no-one else seems to be taking situations seriously. When Yikari first found Hiro, the Houndoom had been imprisoned n a cage by a professional poacher and his body showed signs of heavy abuse, which is perhaps the reason for Hiro's negative mindset to this day. Regardless, Hiro sees it as his job in the group to make sure that the rest stay alive, a duty which he, like all things in life, takes seriously, and while he and Yikari do have plenty of differences in their opinions and often argue, there is still a bond of trust between them, and both are ready to support each other whenever necessary.

History (Optional): Born in Fuschia City, Kanto, Yikari was always a mischievous child, even in the age when he was barely able to stand, and caused no end of headaches for his parents. His father, a bussinessman and one of the top executives in the Kanto pok?mart chain, rarely had time to spend at home, leaving even more of the responsibility of raising the unruly young Yikari to the boy's mother, a former teacher gone housewife who, it soon turned out, didn't have a very good capacity for handling stress. One day when Yikari was hardly older than seven, his mother suddenly collapsed right in the middle of her morning routine. Once doctors had been called to the scene, the woman was quickly diagnosed with over-exhaustion and weak nerves and temporarily called away to a rest home so that she could recover. Now of course, Yikari's father was still by no means ready to take up the scepter, so instead, he chose to delegate responsibility of the boy to his own father, an aged ninja master whom he hoped could teach the boy some discipline.

While at first Yikari thought that living with a stuffy old grandfather would be a real gyp, it soon turned out that the grandfather in question, Hibiki Arikawa, was far from stuffy; an eccentric old man who promptly refused to accept that age was catching up with him. Excited to have a youngin' around the house to teach him about modernity, the old ninja master was more than willing to relate the knowledge of his own skills to the boy, in fact, he insisted, and although Yikari was quite far from a model student, he still grew to learn a thing or three from 'gramps' during the time he spent with him, which soon grew from a couple of months to a year to a couple of years, as it turned out that Yikari's mother was recovering far slower than what had been expected and that they didn't want to over-exert her, although Yikari and his grandfather made a point of making regular visits to see her. Growing up this way, Yikari quickly took up the habit of excercising the skills he had learned by poking around town and getting into all kinds of trouble, and, eventually, grew quite notorious around the parts, up to the point where his grandfather decided that it might have been better for him to...get some distance before certain people in his community got overly ticked, and when Yikari reached the age of twelve, a traditional starting-age for trainers, his grandfather was quite willing to send him out into the world, hoping that the boy's Totodile friend would be enough to keep him safe from his own habit of getting into trouble.

Travelling first through his own home region and later even venturing on brief excursions to Johto and Hoenn, Yikari got to experience a great deal of things and meet many people, people who grew to think of him with more or less fondness, although if the mischievous boy ever got to experience something he didn't find amusing even in retrospect he certainly isn't showing it, always ready to give the curious a friendly smile and relate one of his fantastic tales, half of them half-truths and the rest full-lies.

Other (Optional): Trained by his grandfather as he is, Yikari has mastered a few basic tricks of the ninja trade, possessing a good talent for jumping, climbing, stealth, and pick-pocketing as well as his favourite skill; the creation of smoke bombs.

RP Sample: EDITNESS: Well, the sample is done. Oh, and if your still not convinced then might I direct your attention to Ancient Dynasty and Showgan?

"Yikari Arikawa!"

The loud, authoritan call resounded ominously across the Slateport City market square, like the first roll of thunder before a full storm breaks out. Surveying the effects of his exclamation stood the voice's owner, a rather rotound man who seemed to be in his late forties, his faded brown hair already displaying signs of thinning, despite his best efforts to conceal this by donning a dark brown hat which he thought looked quite smashing in combination with his equally coloured suit and blue tie. The man leaned a bit on his wooden cane, which was painted a blue matching his tie, for a moment before walking over towards the small crowd of people who were gathered around the person he had just adressed, another man, this one far more youthfull and far less obese, dressed in a manner which simply screamed 'hired muscle'.

As the duo approached, the small crowd quickly dispersed, leaving only one person standing to meet the two men; it was a boy, somewhat gangly-looking with his long legs and generally skinny build, his dark blue shirt, greyish white shorts, and sneakers which looked like they had been white in their better days creating a peculiar contrast with his short but healthy-looking, dark brown hair and the white-toothed smile of purest innocence he wore on his face.

"Edwin Palmer!" he exclaimed, throwing his arms out dramatically as if to embrace the older man, "Dearest of all my friends! How are you this fine day?"

"Don't you 'friend' me, Arikawa!" the man who was apparently named Edwin snapped, glaring furiously at the boy, "You've gone too far this time!"

"Gone too far?" Yikari echoed with a look of polite curiosity on his face, "Palmer-san, whatever do you mean?"

"You know bloody well what I mean!" Edwin snapped furiously, a vein bulging treatheningly from his now considerably sweaty face, "And don't try to sidetrack me with that fancy pre-school japanese of yours! It's your cruddy hair tonic!"

"My hair tonic?" the boy repated with a continuously polite, but now slightly hurt, expression on his face, "Ed-kun, are you implying that there is something wrong with my great, great, great grandmother's formula?"

"I ain't implying nothing!" Edwin bellowed, stamping his foot, "I'm saying that you conned me and passed a bottle full of ditch water onto me! And I'm also saying that you'll provide a refund right now!"

The hired muscle-man took this opportunity to crack his knuckles treatheningly.

"Now...Eddie-baby..." Yikari continued in a soothing tone, carefully placing a hand on the man's shoulder, "Of course I'll pay you back if there's something wrong with the tonic, but...dear man, you didn't apply it to your hair, did you?" he asked the last question with the tone of one who had just come to a terrible realization.

"Eh?" Edwin asked, now having been forced to come to a pause, "Well-of course I...I mean...it's a hair tonic-"

"Oh, poor, poor Palmer-sama." the boy replied in a slightly melancholy tone, shaking his head, "What am I to do with you? I shall have a new bottle delivered to your home free of charge, as an apology for the incovenience, and with proper application instructions too. Your poor man, applying hair tonic to your hair..." he finished by giving the older man a compassionate pat on the shoulder.

"I-well...I..." Edwin muttered, now having completely lost the ball, "Erm...that's-that's mighty kind of you." he managed at last, now visibly calmed.

"Don't mention it, Ed-kun." Yikari replied, giving the man another pat on the back and a cheerfull smile, "Now if you would excuse me, I think some of the good ladies over there are waiting for their turn." he cocked his head in the direction of a small group of women who were, indeed, watching the scene with a measure of interest.

"Oh-course', sorry to bother you..." Edwin replied, standing helpless there with his hired muscle by his side while the boy cheerfully skipped over to his next customers, bowing deeply to each one and acting with all of those clich?d little phrases and mannerisms which he knew tended to provoke some giggling and laughter.

Poor, deluded, Palmer-sama... Yikari thought for himself as he started out his negotiations, Why on earth would I have given him ditch water when there was a perfectly good tap available?

 

[Light_Azumarill]

Yayness! I actually signed up earlyish for this one! ^-^ Lemme see... should I be a trainer... or a coordinator... oh the decisions!! o.o

And Alter, I just noticed your newest quote. XD


Name: Cynthia Tharnst

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Appearance: Cynthia has long, light blue hair that looks rather curly near the ends. She has a very pale complexion, and light gray eyes. She looks like one of thos girls who if a strong breeze came by, it would blow her over like a piece of paper. She's very skinny, and is of medium height. She wears a pink skirt with a white top that has three pink roses printed on it. Her backpack is quite small and also light blue in color. She usually has her hair down, though sometimes she remembers to put it up. Cynthia's face always seems to have a melancholy expression on it, even when she is happy.

Personality: A quiet person, Cynthia is not one to talk too much. She speaks when needed, and when she feels comfortable, and at first glance she seems somber and weak. However, Cynthia's will-power and extreme loyalty make her a hard person to defeat. She has a strong sense of justice, and when she feels that something is unjust, she will not hesitate to try and right the wrong. Cynthia has many fears. She fears heights, crowds, water, noise, spiders, darkness; pretty much everything. Because of this, she relies heavily upon her pokemon and her friends to help her. These fears are the reason she became a pokemon trainer, so that she could learn how to overcome them, and become a better person.

Pokemon:

Spoink (Wilbur)- Named after a Spoink in a famous children's book, Wilbur is Cynthia's partner pokemon. She simply adores the little piggy, and he adores her back. They have always been inseperable. The Spoink is a kind and gentle pokemon that came to watch over Cynthia when she was very sick once when she was little. The two became good firneds, and Cynthia even helped Wilbur find a beautiful deep blue pearl to place on his head so that he could impress a girl Spoink he had been fond of. She still rejected him though, but Cynthia cheered her friend up in no time.

Doduo (Tic-Tac)- This pokemon was a gift to Cynthia by her father. It was considered rare where she lived, and so she was very happy to recieve her. She appropriately named her "Tic-Tac", derived from the sound that her talons made when she walked on the sidewalk or other smooth surfaces. However, because it is a Doduo, she has two heads to her. One of the heads is serious and angry all of the time, while the other is carefree and almost annoyingly self-centered. Thus when Cynthia refers to the serious head, she calls her "Tic", and when referring to the other, she calls her "Tac".

History: Cynthia grew up on a large farm near the outskirts of Fuschia City. Her family was constantly having to round up escaped Safari Zone pokemon, and return them to the park. But Cynthia got to see many rare pokemon this way that most people only glimpse a few times in her life. She began to feel sorry for the trapped park pokemon, that were always attempting to escape into the wild. Her family didn't share her sentiments though, and so she remained quiet about it. Sometimes she could swear that she could see whip lashes on some of the escaped pokemon, but she figured perhaps they were from poachers. Yes, that had to be it....

Unfortunately, Cynthia wasn't much help to her family. She was so afraid of a great many things. She was afraid of bugs so she was always racing about outside, trying to get them away from her. She was afraid of heights, which didn't help much when it was time to build a new barn. She couldn't even enjoy herself when she went to the beach, afraid that the water would drown her. People, including her family, teased her about her fears, and she always felt bad about it, but what could she do?

Her family's farm had many pokemon on it, Miltank, Tauros, even some grazing Bayleef that they would use to help pull things in addition to their Rapidash. Cynthia was supposed to get a Ponyta for her 10th birthday, but she didn't really want one. She wanted a unique pokemon that would still accurately reflect her country life. Luckily for her, around her 10th brithday, she got very sick with pneumonia, and had to stay in bed for 3 weeks. This may seem unlucky, but it was then that she met her partner pokemon Wilbur the Spoink. Wilbur snuck in her room to watch over her, and he helped cheer up the depressed little girl. After the Spoink agreed to stay with her, she made the decision to become a pokemon trainer in order to overcome her fears. She had to prove to herself that she could accomplish things that would help her family.

Her first year of pokemon training was pretty easy. She caught a Pidgey, and forced herself to train a Caterpie. She went around to the gyms in Kanto and tried her hand at beating them all. When a year had passed, she went home for a while to take a break, and released her two new pokemon, then a Pidgeotto and Butterfree, back into the areas she caught them from. She figured that they would want to go home like she had. Wilbur the Spoink stayed with her of course. Her father gave her a coming home present of a Doduo he had been raising up for her. She happily accepted it, and went out for her second year of training. This time she raised a Poliwag and discovered a new fear of hers-- electric pokemon. A girl's angry Pikachu accidently shocked her with a Thunderbolt, and she actually had to go to the hospital because of it. Cynthia recovered physically, but mentally she became terrified of any electric pokemon. When she released the now Poliwhirl back to its home, and went back to hers, she took a year off, and calmed herself down a bit. Now she is ready for a new challenge, and hopes to somehow curve her fear of electricity.

Other: Nothing much to put here. =P *pokes*

[Jack_Skellington]

Erm, is it OK if I join?? This RP looks intriguing(sp?).....

Name: Kiro Namagutchi
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: A very slender young man, Kiro has a height of 6'1. His skin is a very dark apricot and he has big teal eyes. He has black hair, spiked up in a very wierd fashion. His upper wardrobe consists of a dark purple long-sleeved shirt which he wears all the time under a yellow vest, with the 8 badges from Hoenn he earned embedded with 4 the right side, and 4 more on the left. His pants are a dark navy blue, with two red stripes on each side, and a zipper at the heel, which he unzips, to make it look cooler. His shoes look like big sneakers, almost like clown shoes, and they are a pale purple. He also wears two headphones which are attached to his neck, cord dangling below to his pockets connected to his CD Player, Torchic Brand. He usually has a sad expression, even when he is filled with joy. On his back, he wears a teal-colored backpack.

Personality: A very quiet person, Kiro was never really much of a talker, until he met his girlfriend, Nami. Nami made him into the guy he is today, a hyper, oversensitive, overall nice kind of guy. He is also a very vigilantic person, always ready to help someone in need, and he is happy to do it. But, sometimes, he can be very lazy, or not active. He always like to listen to his music, usually rock, on his CD Player.

Pokemon:

Ralts(M),(Kindle)-Having a wierd nickname, Kindle was Kiro's first Pokemon, which he caught by accident. He caught it, when he was walking through the Route from Cherrygrove, to Rustboro, and he decided to take a nap, which made the Ralts come nearer to him, because he had PokeSnacks in his bag. When Kiro awoke, the Ralts was happily sleeping next to him, and he threw a PokeBall at it, obviously, capturing it. He then nicknamed it Kindle, after the brand of PokeSnack the Ralts ate. Kiro has Kindle holding an Everstone, which never makes it evolve.

Flareon(F),(Ember)-Ember was Kiro's second Pokemon, him capturign it when she was still and Eevee. Kiro found her in Rustboro, in the backroom of a storage house, near death. When he found her, Kiro quickly took her to the Rustboro PokeCenter, healing her. She was grateful, and then decided to journey with Kiro, which was when he noticed the she was carrying a Fire Stone. He quickly used it to evolve her, and then nicknamed her Ember.

Lapras(M),(Ice)-Kiro had aquired Ice by a trade with Wallace, who had seen that he had great ability after defeating him, so, in exchange for a Kingdra Kiro had, he traded for the Lapras, which was probably the only male Pokemon Wallace had. Content with his new Pokemon, Kiro makes his way back home..


History (Optional): Will be revealed throughout RP.....

Other (Optional): None

[Random Plushie]

Oh yay, I knew today was going to be a good day! ^-^

And since I forgot to mention this earlier, everyone hug Alter because he helped me with revision. Yes, hug him because he needs a hug, I say.


I shall get to the sign-ups now.


@Alter Titan: Splendid profile! ^o^ Like I really need to say more.. XD Too bad ya couldn't think of an RP Sample, but I won't think much of it since the two RPs you've listed are fine samples in themselves. So, you are Accepted~!

@Melissa: Ah yes, you did a good job as well. No problem in waiting for the History. And since I've also seen how well you can RP, I'll also consider your past performances your sample ('cause Alter's getting away with it, too). So of course, you're Accepted~!

@Jack Skellington: Your username reminded me of the best movie ever. XD Getting to business, your sign-up is okay. Are you sure you meant "the Route between Cherrygrove and Rustboro City"? They're on two different regions, brother. XD Ah, and it is okay to have past/current RPs as your sample. I'll accept that. ^-^ Accepted~!


Now I guess I'll edit my own sign-up into the first post.

Edit: Well, that's done.

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

Name: Jirae Flaredown
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Jirae is about 5'10" and weighs about 130 lbs. He wears a black T-Shirt and black shorts, both of which have flame designs on them near the bottom. He wears black moccasin-type shoes. His hair is short, somwhat spikey, and brown, and his eyes are brown as well. A scar oddly resembling a flame is on his right knee.

Personality: Jirae has a somewhat split personality. At times, he is very cruel and critizisive of other people and thinks most other people to be lower then himself. At other times, however, he is a very kind and caring person who is willing to die to help a friend. His friends usually get annoyed at the constant changing between these two personalities.

Pokemon:

1. Blaziken lv36
Male
"Blaze"
Jirae's strongest Pokemon, Blaze was Jirae's starter Pokemon as a Torchic. For quite some time Jirae trained Blaze exclusively, so he quickly leveld up and evolved. Due to this, the strength of Blaze himself as well as Blaze's relationship with Jirae is much stronger then that of any other of Jirae's Pokemon.

2. Tailow lv14
Female
"Airfall"
The first Pokemon Jirae ever caught in the wild was a Tailow, which he named Airfall. A very fiesty Pokemon, Airfall often pecks at random objects such as trees and rocks.

3. Dustox lv12
Male
"Intoxicator"
As a wurmple, Intoxicator didn't do much except lay around and eat berries. Eventually, as he saw Jirae's other Pokemon getting stronger, he decided to participate in battles more and more and eventually evolved. Intoxicator had wanted to be a Beautifly, however Jirae was happy that he had evolved into Dustox instead.

4. Aron lv17
Female
"Hardhat"
Like his name would imply, Hardhat is a very defensive Pokemon both in battle and in personality. Rather shy, Hardhat doesn't often play with Jirae's other Pokemon, even though she's been offered to many times.


History: Raised in Hoenn, Jirae wasn't really interested in Pokemon until about age 14, when his friend got him into it. He then started his Pokemon journey and over the course of the years he was able to get the first 4 gym badges of the Hoenn league. When he was in Lavaridge town, after beating Flannery, he received the letter from Professor R. Chrysso and decided to accept the trip to Ryko.

Other: Nope.

RP Sample: For the best examples of my roleplaying skills, you can check out Reach Into Time (Pokemon Roleplay) and Fantasy Dimension (Other Roleplay).

 

[Alter Ego]

Wha-? Whadda ya' mean I have no sample? *Pokes own profile* I added that one in just for you, ya' know. Anyways, you only noticed my new quote now, Melissa? It's been there for a good three days now. xD Ohh...and Cynthia creates a nice contrast with Yikari, yes she does. ^-^

Aaaanyhow, I'm supposed to be writing a lit. analysis for Swedish so I can't stay on and stalk people too long here. Might stop by, briefly, later on.

 

[Loki]

OOC: DONE

Name: Mayal Lash
Age:14
Gender:female
Appearance: https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/KendoGurl/Blonde hair/6141127534440388.jpg The flap that goes down the front of her shirt continues to the very rim of the dress's skirt. The skirt has a sort of wrinkled effect to it, and she has fourteen thin silver bracelets evenly distributed amongst her wrists, seven on each arm. Mayal has pale aqua boots that reach her mid-shin on, so pale they're almost white. The clips that hold up her chesnut brown hair are ever changing, sometimes white bunnies, sometimes orange kittens, etc. Her unruly hair almost never looks neatly combed, usually with a 'just woke up' kind of wavy effect to it.

Personality: Mayal is soft-spoken, her voice usually very quiet, or near a soft murmur, but she never hesitates to say what's on her mind, whether she says it loudly or quietly. She has a strong sense of responsibility, and will often drag her friends into a situation where they have to help someone else. Mayal is easily frustrated, and doesn't like it when she doesn't do something perfect of at least average. When she doesn't succeed, she usually breaks into a temper tantrum, where it mixes with a state of depression. During these tantrums, she'll often snap at anyone who talks to her, rant on a trivial thing, or keep deathly silent. Most of the time, she if quite patient and agreeable, though she's quick to be polite to people she likes, and as rude as possible to people she doesn't like, or finds just as rude. She makes decisions before she thinks them through, but they usually lead out okay.

Pokemon:

Absol (m)
Name: Zell
History:Zell was traded to Mayal from a Cooltrainer in return for a Girafarig. He wasn't too happy to be stuck with the crazy bunch of pokemon, each with mischevious or overly helpful personalities, but in the end, after Mayal showed it how seriousness wasn't always the way to go, it tolerated the group...to an extent.
Personality: Zell has the patience of about one short fuse about to blow, as in, it doesn't take much to piss him off. When he gets pissed off, he'll often make sure everyone knows it, as he takes different tactics each time. He has a very sarcastic demeanor, and doesn't hesitate to say what he thinks about something, much like Mayal herself, though his brash and secluded attitude clashes with the other pokemon's.

Haunter (M)
Name:Nightmare
History: Haunter was originally Mayal's first pokemon at her young age of 3, a Ghastly. As they played together, he learned many new techniques, often trying them out on unsuspecting boys of which Mayal disliked. He liked to cause mischief around her school, and was soon banned from school grounds, though he still follows her around invisibly at school.
Personality: Nightmare is very mischevious, and has the most happy-go-lucky personality you'll ever meet. He likes to play pranks on just about anybody, and laughs almost non-stop afterwards. He's rarely serious, even in battle, he'll play pranks on the pokemon, manipulating Mayal's command into a frightening prank.

Shuppet(F)
Name: Treble
History: Treble was one of Nightmare's victims of a prank, when he became invisible as a cloth was tied around Treble's eyes and odd groaning sounds came from his mouth. Too scared to move or fight back, Treble was forced to endure this until Mayal returned Haunter back to it's pokeball. Treble instantly considered Mayal her savior and followed her around until Mayal decided to just capture her.
Personality: Treble is very timid, and will often start to tremble when it's scared, giving her her name. When she's scared, she's pretty much immobolized, and won't be able to do anything but stare and shake. Or, she'll wail at the top of her lungs, in a sort of screech attack.

Sneasel (M)
Name:Slash
History: Slash is Treble's best friend, the one who protected Treble when she was immobilized. He was quite disgruntled when Treble started to follow Mayal around for saving it just once when he'd save her fifteen times over, but eventually was captured by her in a fight with the Haunter that had frightened his dear friend.
Personality: Sneasel is just as mischevious as Nightmare, but he knows when to stop, and when he's not playing pranks he's rather serious, much like his newfound friend Zell. The two of them are usually the one's to restrain Nightmare when he goes over the top in one of his 'brilliant' ideas. He is also usually the butt of Nightmare's pranks, or in other words, the victim, which gives him a disgruntled disposition most often.

History (Optional): Mayal was your average girl, getting those average grades and in regular afterschool activities. She enjoyed gymnastics, being extremely flexible and also did track as another extra curriculum. She started with a ghastly, one of her favorite pokemon, as she always had a liking for dark, psychic, and ghost pokemon. Training with her Ghastly day after day, their bond became stronger yet after he evolved into a Haunter. They easily captured a Shuppet, Sneasel, and Girafarig together. Mayal traded her Girafarig for a newly captured Absol. Her life in Larousse was always the same, battling in the battle tower, and fighting nearby trainers. Sometimes on her family's vacations to different cities in Hoenn, she'd gather badges for fun, entered a few contests, and did just regular girl stuff. But soon enough her parents made her make a decision. Which way down the path did she want to go? She made the immediate decision to battle, be a trainer, because her pokemon weren't there to show-off, they were there to win battles and badges. One day after a particularly rough battle in the battle tower, she reieved a letter in the mail, asking her to come to a region she'd heard of only as a vacation, for a presentation. Being bored, having not yet gotten permission from her parents to travel Hoenn alone, she took this opportunity to travel a different region alone, while her parents thought she was doing educational programs, and immediatly consented to come.

Other (Optional): Mayal is very flexible and quick on her feet.

[Charon]

{ooc| Wh00t, Plushie, this looks awesome. However I must refuse your request to hug Alter, because... ah, who cares. After all, I have a distinct lack of scruples. *flying tackles him* *stands up quikcly and brushes the dirt off herself*
Mind if I join? As usual I'll be playing a gal.
Also, yay for doduos called Tic-tac!}

Name: Amber Western
Age: 15
Gender: Female

Appearance: Amber has a real 'cowgirl' look about her, which is probably something to do with the brown cowboy hat she always wears at a jaunty angle on her head. It's a light beige colour with a dark brown rim, and has a swellow feather poking from it. She has an oval face dotted with cute freckles, and shoulder length ash-brown hair which falls in many curled ringlets. She has bright amber eyes and a jovial, care-free expression.
Amber is long-legged and tall, slightly flat-chested but very skinny. Despite her cowboy hat, the rest of her attire is strangely normal - cut-off jeans, bamboo flipflops, with a black tank top and a pink bikini underneath. She has an overlarge suede bag, which she normally carries slung over one shoulder. It contains all sorts of junk, including a towel.

Personality: Amber is an active, upbeat girl, with a thirst for adventure and a thrill seeking streak. She tends to be fearless, climbing up waterfalls and throwing herself down raging rivers. Amber has a love for water, her pokemon and her family - though she finds it difficult to make friends. Amber bores quickly of situations, and her crude ways tend to offend. She recently started training pokemon as another source of excitement - her family are also far happier for her to travel around with pokemon companions than on her own.

Pokemon:
Vaporeon~ Festival, ♀
Festival was Amber's first pokemon, and they're very much in tune with each other. Amber isn't paticularily intelligent or good with languages so half the time she has no idea what her pokemon are saying; despite this they have a very open, good-natured relationship, which involves lots of swimming, giggling, and making fun of other people.
As her name suggests, Festival met Amber at a music festival a year or two ago; as an eevee, Festival had been a rather neglected pet, and was dragged around concerts by her teenage owner. Amber had 'borrowed' her, but 'forgot' to give her back. As a result, Festival now belongs to a weird little cowgirl. She's a very light-hearted pokemon.

Tauros~ Roam, ♂
Roam... is extremely dim-witted, extremely slow, and extremely laid back. Amber tends to ride on him, but Roam really couldn't care less. Why he decided to follow her, Amber really has no idea, but he plods after her like a lovable puppy.

Chimecho~ Ivanhoe, ♂
Yet another pokemon that has for some unknown reason attached itself to Amber, Ivanhoe fought against Festival in a rookies tournament, lost sorely, and decided he preferred Amber over his usual trainer. For a while, Amber tried to ignore him in the hope he'd go away. However, he kept following her, and she's finally accepted him into her team - though Amber would have preferred something with a bit more 'grrr'.

History (Optional): Amber grew up in safe, secure Celadon - her mother and father owned the resturant down town. Amber had a cosy upbringing with her many siblings (seven in all) and large, extended family, and until the age of seven she was a very contented little girl. The rockets took over the town, built the gambling shop, and her father joined the team. His pokeball business had gone bankrupt due the the department store, and while he sold to the rockets at reduced prices, he at least had some profit coming in. Mrs. Western and her children knew, and while they didn't like it, they knew it had to be done. He became distanter, busier, but at leats he was putting food on the table and shoes on his children's feet. So Amber went on living happily, though warily, for another year. Until their father vanished completely. An investigation was launched, but he was never found; by this time, the rockets had already been forced to disband by a mysterious trainer called 'Red'.
Amber and her family lived on. They got by, with help from relatives. It was just another casulty of the Rockets, the newspapers claimed. Amber became wild, thrill-seeking and brusque; soon she spent more time on the cycling road and in fushia's seas than in her own beloved city. Her mother, in turn, became nervous and skittish. Her family was breaking down one by one, what with her older children heading off to college and her husband gone.
Then Amber found Festival. The girl took her chance and fled, off to a far-off region - glad to be away from the bad memories.

Other (Optional): OMG SHE CAN SWIM.... Yeah, my trip to the pool the other day has given me yet another obsession.

RP Sample: Showgan and whatnot.... I will add links laterz.

 

[Random Plushie]

Okay Alter, I've edited my post again, is it to your satisfactory? XD


@Burninating Torchic: Hmm, you may want to be a bit more descriptive than that. For example, I can't really get an idea of your Pokemon's personalities. Sorry, but your sign-up isn't really up to par, eh.. Declined~

@Naoko-chan: Is that RP Sample from an RP? Could you please provide a link? Thankies much. Anyways, I trust you'll finish soon. Pending~

@Charon: Hi hi! ^-^ You're going to make Alter sad. XD Anyways, your sign-up looks good, to put it simply. Accepted~

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

Uh..what exactly do you mean? I think I put plenty of information down...I've never needed to put more information then that down for any other RPs I've done. Care to explain which areas, other then the personalities of my Pokemon, I need to elaborate on?

 

[Loki]

OOC: I personally think she's pointing at your appearance and personality.

I've finished my sign-up sheet, just letting you know

 

[Random Plushie]

@Burninating Torchic; Well, I just thought you could've elaborated just a bit more on his personality is all. Y'know, like went into a bit more detail on his reactions depending on which of his two personalities he was displaying. Not much more, just another line or two, know what I'm saying? The more details you provide, the better. You could've described more than three aspects of his two personalities.

@Naoko-chan: Yeah, that pretty much sums up my point. X3 Anyways, you've finished, and it looks fine, so you're Accepted~


I probably won't accept much more people after this.. Partially due to a Super Bowl Party, but whatever. o.o

So...wait. I elaborate on my character's personality and I get accepted, or what?

 

[Random Plushie]

So...wait. I elaborate on my character's personality and I get accepted, or what?

Well, yes, if you fixed up your sign-up enough I could accept you. In addition to your personality, you could also add onto your character's appearance. I don't know, it just seemed a little short to me 'cause I'm weird like that.


I have to leave now. Will check on this later. :3

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Wow this looks intresting, i'll sign up for sure.

Name: Rhyly Usama
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: Rhyly, has spikish like dark brown hair very close to black his eyes are a lean black, he usually wears mostly black but with a tinse of red in his shirt and in his baggy pants, hes an overall cutie really. Overall thruout Rhyly's journey and adventure he changes his attire alot, his main attire is the one described above, he has various other attires, his PJs for example are a black pair of bottoms with a shirt with Pikachu's head covered over it, he also has his training attire, this is the only pair of clothing that isn't black this is his navy-blue clothing that has red once again and he also has a pair of black finger tiped gloves, but he also wears these clothes normally anyway.

Personality: Rhyly is young pokemon trainer from the Kanto region, he is exicted he loves Pokemon, and potentially has a thrist for pokemon battles, he loves to make friends, espically with his Pokemon, his first pokemon friend is his starter pokemon, Sparky his Pikachu, and he would do anything to protect those he loves, he is also one to wear black alot, most people usually assume that Rhyly is more of a Goth than a Pokemon Trainer, this generally can annoy our young friend, but of course what makes him the most angriest is when someone doubts his skills as a pokemon trainer, and thats when you really don't want to be near Rhyly.

Pokemon: Sparky:

Sparky, is Rhyly's Pikachu, and also his very first pokemon, he is different from most Pikachu's as he has a bit of hair on his head, form being quite old. He also is male, he has been attracted to some various different Pikachu's but also has a secret admirer.

Happy: "image removed"
Happy, is Rhyly's Butterfree, he is also one of Rhyly's first he evolved from a Caterpie to the fightful Butterfree, he is one of Rhyly's favs. This elegent Butterfree is a bit different from most of the Butterfree that you usually find for first of all its a female Butterfree, she has elegent wings with pink markings on her wings to symbolise that she is in love.

Zippo: "image removed"
Zippo, is Rhyly's Charmeleon, he was originally a Charmander, but he then evolved into a Charmeleon to save Rhyly's life from a devastating Mega Punch. Zippo has been very loyal to Rhyly, and would protect his trainer with his life, his most powerful attack is his Flamethrower attack.

Scyther: "image removed"
Syther, was the only member of Richie's team that he didn't name, the Scyther protected Rhyly in the Safari Zone because it trusted him as Rhyly had helped it, and thats how it joined Rhyly's team. Scyther's main advantage is his speed, unlike most of the other Scyther's he is one of the fastest it is unknown why he also has a special symbol that is on his chest it represents, friendship, the friendship he has with his trainer.

History: From the age of 8, Rhyly was intrested in Pokemon afterall being the grandson of a famous reseracher, had its advantages of becoming a Pokemon Trainer at such an early age, his very first pokemon was his Pikachu, this is his most loved pokemon, and most cherished, as he grew his Pokemon skills improved but even his grandfather was amazed at his Pokemon Raising ability and the ability to overcome all odds even when it looks as if that hes in trouble, and always comes out a winner even if he loses.

One of the most pypical moments in Rhyly's history is that when he had his first Pokemon Gym Battle he was battling agaist a Rock Gym Leader, this Gym Leader underminded Rhyly, and put him down telling him that he couldn't win with a puny Electric Pokemon, this trigered something inside of him as he managed to defeat the Mighty Rock Snake Onix, and of course won his first ever badge.

Of course just like his grandfarther, Rhyly is also a Trainer as well as a Reseracher, he generally spends his study and research in new pokemon, as well as Pokemon Fusion, or as it is usually known as DNA Splicing, but Rhyly is more concerned on the well being of his Pokemon, and not the breakthrus that he makes, and this makes him less of a Researcher, than what he should be.

Other (Optional): Rhyly has a natural talent for raising Pokemon, even when faced with an Angry Rhydon, he was able to calm the Rhydon down and befriend it. Even from the Age of 10, he had a natural talent of Pokemon liking him, this talent proves to be one of his greatest strengths in the adventure he will now take.

RP Sample: *Rhyly made his way down the pavement from Ash's house as he smiled softly some and looked from side to side* "Well Sparky, looks like its time for us to head out, we have to head to the new Region and meet this Professor, i'm sure this is the start of a great adventure eh Sparky?" *Sparky just looks at Rhyly with a smile as they then begin to make their way, they head in the direction of the Harbour to board this boat to the new Region as he had made his way aboard the boat he looked about himself his Pikachu on his shoulder as he entered his cabin he sat down on his bed as he thru his bag down, looking about himself as he grinned with a smile* "I need to become better, i need to become stronger...i need to be the best" *he then grinned even more a little gritting his teeth* "And on this new Region i will do just that, at least...i hope i can, do you think i can Sparky?" *Sparky merely looked at his Trainer with a smile and then a bit of a nod* "I'm glad you think so Sparky...tonight were gonna have a celebration on the beggining of our Journey in the Ryko Region, their should be all new kinds of Pokemon for us to capture, i would of taken more Pokemon, but Oak just wouldn't let me..." *he sighed a bit as he got up picking his belt up hooking it back up as he walked out of his room only for a Pokemon Trainer to challenge him to a battle, he only gave a mere smirk as his first Pokemon to be sent out was his Scyther* "Okay Scyther, lets make this a quick and easy battle, attack with Fury Cutter" *Scyther launched towards the Enemys Pokemon, the enemy dodged it and tryed to make a counter attack but Scyther was one step ahead as it has used Double Team to confuse the Enemy before striking it with a powerful Fury Cutter the Enemy Trainer only had that one Charmeleon which seemed to be no match for the Scyther, Rhyly hand shaked the Trainer, as the Trainer departed Rhyly began to laugh to himself as he had only begun his Journey*

P.S. I was stuck on what 4th pokemon to use, but i'll use Scyther cuz i was stuck between that Ghastly and Eevee.

So...wait. I elaborate on my character's personality and I get accepted, or what?

All she said was that your sign-up was understandard, which it was, whether she accepts your or not depends on how much you improve it. I'd suggest elaborating on everything, myself...-.-

And yes Plushie, I am quite satisfied and-OMG! Incoming! O___O

*Tackled by Charon*

I feel so...violated...

Nah, J/K. ^-^ Although you know, you're really delegating your task to others, Plushie. Ahh...if only others had leadership skills like that. xD

I hope mine gets accepted, i really should of used an original character, but i love roleplaying as Richie @_@

That's right, my leadership skills suck and I know it. XD



@Kakashi Hatake: Hmm, personally I don't like it when someone's character isn't original, but that's just me. >.< I'd also say that the sign-up itself could've been better, but since you're using Richie I don't know how much you could add to it. I'd say the best way to go would be to create an original character, which would make it easier to write a better sign-up sheet. All in all, the conclusion is: Declined~

If you wow me with an OC I may reconsider.


Alright, here ish the list of accepted people so far:

Alter Ego
Light_Azumarill
Jack_Skellington
Naoko-chan
Charon-chan

And myself, too, obviously. o.o

I think that'll be it for sign-ups, unless Burninating Torchic or Kakashi Hatake decide to edit their posts. If someone else comes along they'll need a really good sign-up. XD

Anyways, I'll probably start some time tomorrow, probably around the same time as this post.
