Sinto VS Hoeto, A Never Ending Battle
RP HAS STARTED!!!
Owner: Scarecrow1113

Adviser: Dutchesse
Rating: PG-15 (Why? Well, seriously...think about what kind of setting this is as you read below)

​

Background on Sinto and Hoeto (pronounced Ho-ay-toe):
Sinto is especially known for a few things. The most common thing is their fierce personalities. They will not give up in a fight, and they believe that backing down and admitting defeat is not honorable...it is a weakness. Killing your emotions is something that might be considered valued in Sinto, though there are some in the nation who disagree. Sinto is an almost brutal nation, and will stop and nothing to reach the top of the ladder. Their leader is Master Jin, someone worth reckoning. He rules Sinto with an iron fist, his famed Umbreon at his side.

Hoeto is more of a kinder natured nation. They do their tasks not because of greed, but because they want to help. Yes, the money is important but it is not overly so. Hoeto people can be laid back, but are very serious about fighting. They will stand and protect their village as one, no matter how many enemies are left. Their leader is Master Kanaka, and he is a kinder spirit. Though he may be kind, he can still be a force that you should fear. He rules Hoeto with an almost neutral nature, just making sure it stays in check. He keeps his Arcanine handy and by his side at all times.

Ever since everyone can remember how long, these two regions have been fighting in an almost eternal duel for complete power over the other region. They are the two main powers, while about six or seven small countries reside within the continent as well. They are locked in this battle so they either one of the regions could be the ultimate superpower. Each region knows the the one with the most power will be able to control everything. No one knows exactly why the two regions began to quarrel so long ago, but it sure lasted. When the first Pokémon was discovered, the regions found that they could use the Pokémon for their own personal greed.​

Then soon Sinto and Hoeto found a new way to fight and make war. They trained not just people, but now Pokémon. They harnessed the Pokémon's power and used it in the many existing wars and battles. This caused great destruction upon the land. It nearly brought about the end of Pokemon because the two faught so much. Finally there was such a war that it seemed inevitable that no one would survive. Before something terrible could happen, however, it was interrupted by the great God, Arceus. The two regions began to settle, but only in terms of not warring and battling as often. They eventually established a village for each region, creating the Village of Sinto and the Village of Hoeto.

​

After what seems like ages, the wars have quieted down some. Though Arceus stopped the greatest war of all time, the two regions still despise each other and the members of the country fight often. Also, the two regions still use Pokémon for their trained ninjas, but mostly the ninjas are now used for special tasks. These tasks are called Jobs, Trials, or Missions. They vary in how difficult the task. With a task, your experience with your Pokemon will grow. Now it is graduation time once more. With the newest batch of students is in for both regions, and that is exactly where you come in.​

The Trainers:

In this new era, something remarkable has happened. It has been exactly 100 years since Arceus was first seen, and now there are twelve special children that are going to be graduating either from the Sinto Elite Ninja Academy or the Hoeto Ninja Academy (Sinto needs to feel scary). They carry the balance of the two nations on their shoulders. It is up to them whether the nations will descend into darkness and despair, or whether they will unite as one in a peaceful and harmonious celebration. Which side will you pick? Will you and your Pokemon try to stop the fighting between Sinto and Hoeto which will bring peace to the lands for eternity, or will you lead your team into the final war that has slowly been hanging over their heads in a daunting way?

​

There are approximately only six trainers for each region that passed this year, making a total of twelve people. The teams are split into groups of two, with a teacher which makes a three man platoon. On the day of the graduation, each trainer will receive a Pokémon based on their own personality as well as the skills in the graduation exam that they had to pass. Some people might have strong enough Pokémon to chose to be a teacher (or Expert), however. So the choice is yours. Either pick and be a Rookie or an Expert to teach the Rookies. The Pokémon that are able to be obtained as a Rookie are as follows:​

Lower "Pass" Rank (D+ Through C+):
Zigzagoon-Lax (F)​

Pidgey-Brave (M)​

Pichu-Jolly (M)​

Sentret-Lonely (F)​

Shinx-Timid (F)​

Average "Pass" Rank (C+ Through B+):​

Bulbasaur-Relaxed (F)​

Charmander-Modest (M)​

Squirtle-Quiet (M)​

Chikorita-Bashful (F)​

Cyndaquil-Rash (M)​

Totodile-Calm (M)​

Treecko-Gentle (M)​

Torchic-Naughty (M)​

Mudkip-Bold (F)-Taken​

Turtwig-Serious (M)​

Chimchar-Adamant (M)​

Piplup-Naive (F)​

High "Pass" Rank (B+ Through A+):​

Dratini-Jolly (F)​

Larvitar-Lonely (M)​

Bagon-Bold (M)-Taken​

Gible-Sassy (F)
Trapinch-Naive (M)

Be reasonable though, higher skills and better Pokemon=much better SU...Natures have NOTHING to do with stats, just needed to see what Pokemon fits your personally. Also the Pokemon are all level 3.​

Other Information:

Ranks:
Rookie (think Genin, ACCEPTING ONLY 12, maybe less if needed)
Trainer (think Chunin)
Expert (think Jonin ACCEPTING ONLY 6, maybe less if needed)
*Master (think Hokage)
*Assassin (think ANBU)​

*will not really be RPed except for handing out tasks and making small appearances and such​

Tasks:
Jobs (Only Rookies do these):
More like small tasks. It could be something as simple as gathering the crops for harvest. This will level up your Pokémon from 1-3 levels, depending on how hard of work you do (AKA: how good your post is).
Trials (both Trainers and Experts do these):
It is a bit more difficult form of a task, but not terribly so. More like escorting someone to their home that is outside of the nation of either Sinto or Hoeto where you may encounter wild Pokémon or other little people wanting to battle. You may even encounter other people from the opposite region, but no one terribly tough. Levels up your Pokémon from about 2-4 levels, depending on how hard of work you do (AKA: how good your post is).
Missions (only Experts do these):
Missions are the most difficult thing out of the categories. Something like battling another member of Sinto or Hoeto, but the battle can lead to be perilous. Are you ready to risk it? Pokémon gains about 3-5 levels, depending on how hard the mission is and how hard you work at it (AKA: how good your post is).

SU Example (My Own SU):
Name: Shelby Kamizaki https://fc01.deviantart.com/fs49/f/2009/177/0/1/My_RolePlay_Character_by_Naruto_Fan1113.jpg <-Basically a character sheet
Gender: Female
Age: 19

Appearance:
Shelby is an average build for a girl. She stands at almost five feet seven inches tall. Her hair is long and brown. It goes down to just about her mid back. Shelby often keeps it in a ponytail so not to get in her way. She wears a short sleeved black T-shirt. Over that is a cloak (or cape) that goes to her knees. It is red and has a black wolf head on the back. She wears jeans and the average sandals that the ninja do. Her jeans are bound at the ends by wrappings so they don't drag and get in the way. She has a long scar from her right elbow all the way to her thumb. Her eyes are just a simple blue color. She has a clan tattoo on her left shoulder. It is the same as the one on her cloak. The tattoo is in black ink, but when she activates her bloodline trait it expands through her whole body and glows red (the color of her family's chakra/energy)

Personality:
Shelby is a fairly fiery girl. She doesn't take any crap from anyone. Though she seems very hotheaded, she's good at keeping her cool in fights. She and her Typhlosion work as an almost amazing team, and together they have completed many missions. She almost hates her clan, especially now that her brother is gone. When he left when she was about 13, Shelby began to hate her clan with a passion. She realized it was just full of over powerful snobs, so she began to basically stay out of its business as much as possible. Her skill levels aren't very great, except for when she activates her bloodline trait, making her very strong. Sometimes it is said among the clan that she is like their demon child, but she doesn't believe it. Being powerful doesn't mean everything to her--peace does. She wants the war to stop, and will do whatever it takes to do so.

Pokémon: Typhlosion Level: 46
(Pokémon's Appearance: Optional):
There is a scar across his right eye, almost matching the one on Shelby's elbow.

History:
Shelby is from the Kamizaki Clan. They are a clan full of warriors. They are one of the strongest clans in Hoeto, and are the main ones who get sent out for missions. Though their bloodlines run deep into the ground, they still don't always produce the protégés that they wish to. She has one sibling, but he ran away to Sinto. He was then proclaimed a disgrace to the family and was henceforth disowned. Shelby is actually average for being in such a "great" clan, and they dislike her for that.

Region: Hoeto
Clan: Kamizaki Clan. https://fc06.deviantart.com/fs18/i/2007/165/d/4/Kanji_Wolf_Tattoo_by_WildSpiritWolf.jpg <-Clan Symbol/Symbol on the back of her cloak.
Rank: Expert

Weapons Of Choice:
Shelby generally uses the natural kunai and shuriken. She has a holster strapped to her belt that makes sure she has everything. She does have a very large katana strapped to her back. The hilt is embodied with the Kamizaki Clan's symbol; a wolf. The end of the blade has been carved into the mouth of a wolf and this weapon must be kept sharp at all times. It also responds to chakra but only the chakra of the Kamizaki Clan.

Bloodline Trait: Wolf God. When she activates this trait, her senses grow heightened and she is a much better fighter. She also adds a few extra features. Her nails extend and her canine teeth become larger, making her look almost wolfish. Her hair bristles. The clan tattoo on her left shoulder expands over her entire body, glowing a bright red color. This is almost like a ditch effort, however, because it drains her very much. Normal members of the Kamizaki Clan don't have this problem, and it's something Shelby is trying to work on.
Strengths: Mostly physical battles with her Pokémon
Weaknesses: Not seriously bad on tactical, but she isn't exactly amazing either.
Want The War To Stop: Yes.
RP Sample: NA

^ That would probably pass for an average if I was grading it to be a Rookie.
Alright well...I was going to make it where I hand out the Pokemon, but...I guess not, because that might be too confusing. If you would, however, I can pick based off your character's personality and SU =) If you don't want me to do that, then just state which one you want and include a description.


If you want to see the total accepted people, go check the OOC Thread =)...which is here, for people who can't figure out how to get to it without a link: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=183861

Typhlosion rulz

Sign-Up Sheet:

-+-​

Name: Leon Hodzic Rose

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Appearance:
Leon's appearance is somewhat that of a normal teenager. His blue eyes are only disrupted by the two black rose markings to the side of either eye, and the messy blonde hair that lies a top his head. He's relatively pale, which make his eyes usually brighter than usual. He stands at a height of 5'9 and is moderately built. He brandishes two mid-sized daggers that hang on either side of his waist. His outfit is a black trench coat with black boots (clan outfit). He only lifts the hood of his coat up when he's flying on his Dragonite.

Spoiler:

Personality:
Leon's personality can range from silent, all the way to obnoxious, it just depends on the person he's interacting with. Most of the time he's quiet, hardly ever feeling the need to express his opinon unless the situation flatters him. His expectations of others are extremely high, if they don't impress him he'll hardly bother with them. He cherishes life and would never take one without cause, which is a rule set forth by his clan. He hardly follows directions, instead letting the wind direct him. He chooses to be on his own, refusing to sway to anything but the breeze.

Pokémon: Dragonite (Kaze) - Quiet (M)

History:
Leon hales from the prestigious Rose Clan, one of the smallest and most respected clans in the Hoeto region. Ever since he was a child, Leon was expected to do great things, learning to master the wind quickly and easily - despite his problem with following directions. In training he had surpassed all of his peers and even most of the mentors, learning to easily manipulate the wind with a wave of his arm.

A tradition of his clan states that the student who finishes the training at the top of their class is allowed to choose his or her Pokemon egg. Being the top of his class gave him the choice of which Pokemon he would share his life with. Leon had sat in front of the five eggs for hours, talking to each egg as if he were trying to become acquainted with each life slumbering within. Finally, after hours of comparing he picked a blue egg with white swirls going around it.

Leon hadn't spent more than a week with the egg when it slowly began to hatch. He put it in the soft grass that it had been sitting in before he picked it up. At first, he was slightly alarmed it was a Tentacool, but instead a slender light blue creature broke it's way out of the prison it had been held within it's entire existence, until now. It slowly looked up at him feeling an instant connection between it and the boy. As they met a soft breeze made it's presence known by shuffling the leaves of a tree that stood above them. He softly picked the Dratini up, gently putting him on his shoulders. "Kaze.."


Region: Hoeto

Clan: The Rose Clan

Clan Symbol: The symbol of the Rose Clan is a birthmark that each child is born with. To the side of each eye is either a white or red rose flower - no stem, just the flower. Leon is the first to have solid black ones, and his clan thinks it an omen for change in the world.

All members of the clan are to wear a black trench coat with black boots. On the back of the trench coat is a hood that is to be worn up during wind rituals.

Rank: Expert

Weapons Of Choice: Two mid-sized daggers that rest on either side of his waist. The base of both daggers has a rose running down a black frame. The dagger on his right flourishing a red flower, the dagger on his left flourishing a white. The two weapons had been given to him by the Clan Elder, which happened to be his father.

Bloodline Trait:

Gale of Roses~
Air is precious, and a necessity for life. This is why the Rose Clan chooses only a few children to train in the art of Air Manipulation. Leon, being one of the chosen and also being the top of his class; can adjust the air molecules around him. Obviously, a supply of air molecules must be present in order for him to do this, otherwise he'll just be swinging his arms around looking like an idiot. This ability incorperates all actions that the wind can do on it's own, while also adding a touch of finesse to it.

Strengths: Speed and agility is what his entire fighting style consists of. With his quick reaction time and relentless attacks, Leon is a formidable opponent to face. He's known for pin-pointing critical strikes or stabs with his knives, giving him the title of a true "tactician".

Weaknesses: Leon was never extremely physical, instead focusing on his agility and speed.

RP Sample:

You asked for it :|

Spoiler:

The blood was evidently becoming a problem for Kota. At the rate it was going he had less than three hours before he would bleed out, and with every moment brought more of the thick substance. He stood there, awaiting the sure sign of continued fighting. He was probably going to die, he didn't think he could have finished the thing off even if he was a hundred percent, but he couldn't change anything he had done now. He had hope still, it was all in the timing of his moves that would make or break him.

Multiple things happened at once here, and it left him open for a life ending blow. Firstly, Plasmos had erupted from the door that led to the Dorm Lobby, calling out words of warning, Kota could only assume, afterall he was in the middle of a fight. Secondly, another student entered with Plasmos. It was another senior, from the cafeteria. He had remembered him discussing something with Veronica after the test. Lastly, the ghost used the distraction to surface from the ceiling, rushing him from upside down.

The second senior pushed him out of the way, allowing him to roll and recover from the attack. Just as he caught his footing lesser undead sprouted from the wooden floors, surrounding him and Kresoveer who was still out of the fight. "I'm fresh so I'll go for their Master," The senior who just pushed him out of harm's way yelled. "I'm sure taking care of these minions will be no problem for the pair of you. You can join me as soon as it's possible."

He had no objection to this, and he knew perfectly well he could finish the horde off himself, he had no choice. He looked around, noticing there was a problem with his plan. The air supply was starting to shorten, in other words he had no source of air to manipulate. If he were to actually pull this off he'd need a limitless amount of oxygen and air. He kicked the nearest door down that led to Serenity's room. He glanced over to her bed. She lay asleep, despite all of the noise outside. He looked past her bed, locating the window.

Perfect, exactly what I needed!

He looked back towards Serenity. "Forgive me," He muttered as he began to remove the air pressure within the room. As he lowered the pressure the air started to thicken. It felt as if he was breathing into an active volcano. Serenity tossed and turned in her sleep, her body telling her that she was being deprived of air, and it was killing her.

The window shattered, and with the shatter came the blessed oxygen and air he was looking for. He released his grasp on the pressure, giving Serenity oxygen, and life. He didn't have time to check on her and apologize, as much as he wanted to just hug her for what he had just done. He turned away and walked back into the hallway. The undead rushed him as he returned to the fight.

The rotting flesh was causing his eyes to water, and the smell was dreadful. It was taking all of his concentration not to throw up. Before he realized it they were rushing over to where he was, encircling him, and trapping him. He steadied himself on both feet, squareing into a fighting stance. "I'll be over there in a few big guy, you better not die on me! As far as I'm concerned you are still my kill!" He pushed a gust of wind down a row of undead, they toppled like dominoes, while also giving him space to push away from Kresoveer.

An undead on the ground had suprised him with a blow from behind, sticking one of it's bones into his leg, impaleing it and surfacing from the front of his leg. His eyes closed from the pain, he didn't yell, he only turned around and smashed the undead's face in with his foot. He bent over and pulled the bone out of his leg. "Damn!"

He now had two holes in his body, his left shoulder and his right leg. Both would end fatal if left untreated. His face became contorted as he fell to his left knee. The undead surrounded him yet again. A quick barrier of wind kept them away, waiting for the kill. The wind was circling around him now, lifting him to his feet.

Focus..

He concentrated all of his energy into the air, placing both hands in front of him, palms to the undead. The air within the opposite side of the hallway that Kresoveer and the other two were at - began to become visible. Suddenly, the currents of wind began to push against eachother, applying pressure to the legs of the undead and the torsos. They tore away from the imposing currents pressing on either side of them.

The hallway became littered with undead body parts. The stench that arose due to the disembodied limbs was extremely nauseating. He turned around, facing the rest of the undead. A quick left hand crossing his torso whipped the wind around, pushing the horde of undead into the wall. He cantered past the undead bodies, pushing the stench away as he passed them.

He picked Kresoveer up, balancing him upon his shoulder. As he limped back towards the busted door a flicker of light ignited down the hallway. One of the undead had caught fire, and he could only assume it was going to spread if he didn't control it. As he thought about it more, it occured to him that Plasmos was helping him with the horde, giving him a tool to use against the army of undead. He didn't bother thanking him just now, he only concentrated again on churning the air around that one undead, creating a whirlwind of fire. Just as it had picked up off of the ground the effect had worked just as science had foretold.

The firey whirlwind began to consume the undead, occasionally spitting one of it's captivated corpses against a wall. He had to make sure the fire didn't spread on to the building, if it did they would have to evacuate. That would leave little time to get the girls out of the building, considering there was an angry ghost trying to kill them.

The tornado had picked up all of the undead by the time it had reached it's way to Kota. He let it die out slowly, being precarious of the wooden walls. Just as it faded he heard Plasmos's voice ring through the corridor.

"We got someone right here, Kota!" He broke off, possibly being persued by the ghost. "I know I ain't your leader, but damnit for the sake of the goddamn school, grab Kresoveer and get to it!" The request remained open for a few moments, before he yelled back down the hallway. "Plasmos, do you honestly think I'm like the rest of the Omegas? My loyalty is to the school, not just Omega." His comeback was his approval of the idea, although deep inside he knew that waking the girls up would give the ghost a mortal life. He just hoped he'd have enough time to finish it himself.

He limped down the hallway supporting Kresoveer, stepping over the burning remains of the undead that he had just vanquished.

Kota: For expert you can choose your own random fully evolutioned Pokemon. I'm going to put a sign up there for both as examples, just to clear that up ^^ But you can pick a Dragonite, if you are an expert. A bloodline trait would be something like the Uchiha's Sharingan. Something special that only your clan has. But...for now I have to say you're declined. Please beef up your paragraphs a bit. Also can I have a bit longer RP sample? Oh and sorry, I forgot to clear this up...experts are much older ^^ I just edited that. So age would probably be in the 20s.

Oh and so everyone knows: I do NOT mind pictures, I find them enjoyable to look at ^^ Just make sure if you do, put them in a spoiler, m'kay? Good job Kota XD

 

[Eucliffe]

I'd like to reserve a spot, please. I'll be editing this very post later, and I should hopefully have something up by tonight.

And, if you need a specific reservation, I'd like the female Mudkip~

Name: Luna Mystere Deity

Gender: Female

Age: 13

Appearance: For a basic appearance - https://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd55/Trasyn123/luminous arc two/943145_20081028_screen005.jpg
For a detail description on the above appearance (I'm making some changes since the character in the pic is definitely a lot older) - With her light blue eyes and long, silky light blue hair, Luna stands at about 5'4", being somewhat tall for her age. Her weight is average, and she has a semi-developed chest, though it is still small. Her skin is a peachy white, and her eyes are often mistaken to be a darker blue when shrouded in the dark. As for attire, Luna wears a pinkish-white Chinese dress with some blue lines running down it like a pattern. She has brown slipper-like shoes, and long white pirate-like pants to go with them. To top it off, she wears something that resembles a clam shell on her head as a hat. The hat, however is fluffy and silky like a regular hat and is not to be mistaken for being an actual clam shell. Finally, to top off this look, Luna wears a translucent blue scarf, which seems to be attached to some blue fabric wrapped around her dress. Despite this appearance, however, Luna is very quick on her feet like a ninja and hardly trips over her dress or scarf.

Personality: Like her name suggests, Luna's attitude changes as much as the tide. At times she is serious under certain circumstances, but later, under the same circumstances, she becomes carefree and laid back. Other times, she'll be joyful for everything around her, but soon become gloomy and depressed or even angry. Thankfully, her mood swings don't occur as often as they did when she was a kid, so Luna's true demeanor can be understood better. In reality, Luna is a kind, loving child. She's a tad shy, but she gets along well with practically everyone in her clan. She's remarkably very bright, and is often told that she's a quick learner. Luna also likes to mimic the actions of others in order to learn them herself, and will even repeat phrases spoken by others just to understand their meaning. Sometimes, though, Luna will repeat an inappropriate word, saying, or action, accidentally in front of someone. This has happened from time to time, mostly in front of the clan elders, whom have come to think Luna as a "mischievous little brat", though she's actually quite the opposite. Even during her mood swings, Luna has never done anything mischievous unless it was to whoever - or whatever - she was supposed to capture, trap, etc.

Pokémon: Female Mudkip~ Nicknamed Zora. With a darker blue diamond-like birthmark on her forehead

History: As a young girl, Luna had grown up in one of the more famous clans in Sinto - the Deity Clan. This clan was known for its cunning tricks and traps, as well as its many tacticians. The clan earned its reputation for making successful captures - be it Pokemon or human - without being caught or having to fight. Thus, many of the members of the Deity Clan were weak physically, but made up for this with their strong mentality. Many of the boys who grew up in this clan learned to trick others with ninja-like equipment (such as smoke bombs) and make the traps, while the girls were the tacticians. However, every so often the clan would pick one female and one male to learn both skills, in hopes that they would some day get married and lead the clan. In this case, Luna was chosen as the female. Soon after they picked her, the clan put Luna through rigorous training, teaching her advanced methods the other boys and girls wouldn't learn until they were much older. The male that was chosen, Leon Wildheart Deity, also went through the same training as Luna. However, he wasn't accepted by Luna due to his hotheadedness and flirtatious behavior. Many of the clan members began doubting that the two would ever get along, and eventually planned an arranged marriage for the two. Luna found out though while overhearing some of the elders chat, but kept it secret that she knew what was coming. She couldn't do anything to show that she knew what they were up to, even though she wanted to acknowledge that she wasn't going to marry a lech, handsome and strong as he may be...

One day, Leon vanished in thin air. One of the Deity elders went out hunting with him and came back alone. When asked where he went, the elder claimed that he was right aside him, but suddenly vanished. The elder then went on to explain that the Pokemon they were searching for could've run off with him, though it was highly unlikely. While everyone believed his story, Luna decided he was lying based on his facial expression and tone of voice. She went out into the local woods, where Leon was last sighted. In the middle of it all, she found him, weak and unconscious. As she went to get food for him, he woke up, wondering where he was. As soon as Luna returned, Leon said those fateful words that Luna would never forget. "My name is Leon. It's nice to meet you, Miss... What's your name again?"

Convinced the elder had done something to Leon, Luna dedicated herself to helping him regain his memory and reveal the elder as the malevolent deity that he was. She brought Leon back and made up her own story saying she found him with a bump on his head, but as soon as he woke up, he was without memory. Luna went on to say that she taught him to use the Deity Clan's bloodline trait, which made the bump go away. And, like everyone believed the elder, they believed her. Luna knew she couldn't ruin her reputation by striking at the elder early, she had to gain their trust over the elder's trust somehow, some way... Until she was in the right position, Luna chose to keep everything a secret, and act as though everything were normal, minus the fact that Leon wasn't himself. As for the war, Luna never really paid much attention to it, until, of course, the mishap with Leon and the elder. Seeing it as another obstacle, Luna figured that she'd try with all her might to try and prevent it from reaching her clan, so that she'd have more time for her main mission.

Rank: Rookie

Weapons Of Choice: Luna uses the generic shuriken, as well as regular smoke bombs, both which she keeps into a small blue messenger bag. She also carries two diamond blade daggers in her bag, both with a sapphire blue base and the Deity Clan's symbol, which looks like this when placed on certain weapons and outfits. However, as the daggers only "respond" to members of the Deity Clan (since they can "detect" the bloodline trait of a Deity).

Bloodline Trait: Limited Healing Abilities. When a Deity child turns 10, they somehow develop the ability to heal any of their wounds more quickly than usual, but this takes up energy and often exhausts many members, child and adult alike. The child can also heal the wounds of another person or Pokemon, this, however, takes up even more energy and usually ends up putting the user into a deep sleep for a couple days. Because of this, this method is not used as often.

Strengths: Due to the rigorous training Luna went through, she is advanced when it comes to tactics.

Weaknesses: Because the Deity Clan isn't made up of great physical fighters, Luna lacks physical strength. However, what she lacks in strength she makes up for agility, and is usually able to dodge/land physical attacks, weak as they may be.

OK, I'm done. I'll edit as much as you want me to, to be quite honest, I hope I didn't overdo it a little bit with the Bloodline Trait. I didn't want to make them practically invincible or anything, which is why I decided not to have their healing powers also heal illnesses.

[Game Over1375]

My SU

This is so hard to say, but I'll say it just to join.

Typhlosion rulz.

Name: Lividus Agito Amnis

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Appearance: With emerald green eyes and blonde hair that goes to his shoulders, Lividus fits perfectly with the phrase short and stocky. He stands at 5'8" and weighs 225 pounds. His long sleeve black shirt shows off his muscular arms and abs really well, and the black silk pants he wears hide his long and rather large legs. His white skin shines in the sunshine and moonlight. He does all his missions and training at night, which is why he wears his black attire. During the day though, he is seen wearing a long white silk kimono over his black outfit, like the samurai wore. On the back of his kimono is the symbol for his clan. He always wears his Souba on his left hip. The Souba is a double blade katana, and the sheaths are connected towards the edge by three small steel bars. Its sheaths are a mixture of black and silver, while the blades and handle are a very dull black. It is around three and a half feet long and is sharp enough to slice through steel. During missions, he wears a belt that holds a black silk bag filled with kunai and shurikin.

Personality: Lividus is a very calm and gentle man during the day. He is a teacher in academics and tactics to many students, and he is also seen helping out his fellow villagers during their everyday lives. He will take the kimono off his back for you, and not think twice about it. However, when the sky becomes black and the stars and moon shine, Lividus is a completely different person. He trains vigorously, almost to the point where he faints form exhaustion. He becomes impatient with his partners during missions, and sometimes acts savagely to them. This usually makes him the least appreciated partner, but his flawless tactics make him a great leader for the squad, and his mastery of the katana makes him a feared ninja. He has completely mastered Battōjutsu, Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū, Shinsoku, and the Kuzu-ryūsen styles of swordsmanship. At night time, when he is not training or on a mission, he will sing a song. He calls this his moment of peace.
Lividus has always wanted the war to stop, and his clan and him are trying very hard to help the Village of Hoeto stop the madness.

Pokemon: A male Feraligatr who is named Lacertis. He is a powerful Pokemon who behaves mush like Lividus during the day and night. He has rather long arms for a Feraligatr. His level is 45. When he was a Totodile, he was rather calm, much like Lividus was when he first started out.

History: Lividus has grown up in Hoeto all his life. He was raised in the wealthy clan of Amnis and has always been kind to everybody. He became a Rookie ninja at the age of 12 and has increased his skill in all fields over the years. While he did graduate with an A+, he wanted a Totodile. He didn't want any other Pokemon except the calm Totdile. After a few weeks of convincing, Lividus finally got his Totodile, who he nicknamed Lacertis. They have been inseperable ever since.
Lividus was once the most sought after partner for his tactics and skill with the katana, but that all changed one night when he was sixteen. He had been accepted as an apprentice to one of the best assassins and spies and was on his first mission with his master, Ukis Gladius. Their job was to spy and gather information in Sinto, where rumors were brewing about Sinto attacking one of the neutral villages. They had gone to Sinto and found out the rumors were true, and they started to return to Hoeto. Before they crossed the borders, however, they were caught, due to Ukis's mistake of traveling on the ground, while Lividus said they should have traveled by the trees. It was Lividus and his master versus twenty of Sinto's finest guards. Lividus's master had his Honchkrow fly Lividus to the house of Master Kanaka. When Kanaka saw Ukis's Honchkrow, he knew what had happened. Lividus gave the Master the information, and left, swearing he would make sure no partner of his made a mistake like that again. He has become savage and impatient during his training and the missions he partakes in.
Lividus was the most feared assassin for a year and a half, but he retired his position, feeling that it was not his true calling. He has become a teacher of tactics and academics and is considered a role model by many, clueless of how he is during the night. He is now expecting to take in two rookies very soon...

Region: Hoeto

Clan: The Amnis Clan is a relatively unknown clan. They aligned themselves with the Hoeto region only twenty-five years ago, so not much is known about them. They left Sinto because the village took their farm and home away. Hoeto was glad to take the clan. Master Kanaka furnished the clan a home and many acres, so they could live out their mostly private lives. The clan is known for the great assassins that it houses.
Lividus, however, does not live with the clan. He lives in his own home, which he built by himself. His house lives near the school and the town square, where he does most of his business during the day.

Clan Symbol:

Rank: Expert

Weapon of Choice: Souba (Appearance is covered in "Appearance") Lividus uses the generic kunai and shurikin as well, but he is not near as adept with them as he is with a katana.

Bloodline Trait: Unda Spiritus
The Amnis Clan's offspring and members have a very unique trait. The Amnis clan can breath underwater for a limited time. This allows them to stay underwater during missions where they have to swim, which leaves them undetected. That is why it is called Unda Spiritus, which is Latin for "Water Breathing." The family is also known for training its offspring to see in the dark. While this is not in their blood, it is considered a trait of theirs.

Strengths: Great in sword combat, tactics, stealth, swimming, endurance, and agility. He is also pretty strong, able to carry wounded partners and most wounded Pokemon.

Weaknesses: Is okay when using Kunai, Shurikin, and hand to hand combat. Does he suck at them? No. Can he use them in almost any situation? No.

Want the war to stop: Yes

RP Sample: ((Will place here later if need be.))

[†sukuyomi]

Name: Kei "Typhlosion rulz" Shinsuke

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Appearance: Kei stands tall above his clan at 6 foot 4. Straight, long, blonde hair falls to the back of his neck, and just under his dark green eyes. Kei has strong, muscled arms from many years of sword practice, and a few scars run the length of his arms due to the practices. His hair is held above his eyes by a black headband, with his clan symbol sewn in the middle. A dark blue shirt with a high collar rising to just above his mouth, with a pair of gray shorts extending just under his knees and a pair of sandals complete the choice in wardrobe for Kei. A katana with a length of 30 inches hangs at his side in it's sheath, a simple black one. And with a mild tan, it's obvious that Kei spends a lot of time in the sun.

https://naruto-fan1113.deviantart.com/art/RolePlay-Character-127387426 -Go to it, fools!

Personality: Kei has a habit of being quite straightforward, he doesn't like to dance around anything, and he is quite aware of what is and isn't a good time to express opinions. When being spoken to, Kei has a habit of being rather informal, preferring to refer to people by their first name. Kei is a mildly quiet individual, although is unafraid to speak up when needed. Many times, Kei has jumped into action without giving complete thought to the consequences, "A bother", he calls these consequences. Due to his clan's history, he is intelligent, and when in a fight, he focuses completely on his opponent, blocking out all other sources of distraction, minus his Pidgeot, as the two are highly inseparable.

Pokemon: Satsu- Pidgeot, Male, Level 42, Serious. His head feathers are darker then most other Pidgeot's head feathers, another thing to take note of; he's a full head taller then the average Pidgeot.

History: Kei comes from the Shinsuke Clan, a small clan of scholars. However, since he was old enough to read, he never took much interest in it, much to the disapproval of the clan. Instead, he would sneak over to watch swordsmen train and duel. It absorbed most of his early life, and, when the clan had accepted finally that he was not meant for the scholarly life, he was given a sword, and, with the promise that he would study every day for a set amount of time, they would let him practice with his sword. After years of training, he found himself leaving the training area more frequently, in favor of the surrounding forest. It was in one of these training sessions in the forest that he met a wild Pidgey.

The Pidgey took one look at him, then attacked fiercely, despite it's small size. Kei fought with all he had, leaving just a little restraint so he wouldn't kill the small bird. An hour or so later, the two had become fast friends. The random encounter in the forest ended up becoming a regular thing for the two, and sparring became a regular thing. One day, the Pidgey evolved at random, providing a much harder challenge for Kei. Nearly a year later, Kei got accepted into a "School" called the Sinto Elite Ninja Academy. Not only did it become apparent that his studying had come in handy at the academy, but also, his sword skills proved to be prodigious, allowing him to graduate from the academy in just one year, at 13.

Having left his friend the Pidgeotto in the forest while he went to the Ninja Academy, Kei met with a surprise when he returned to the sparring grounds of the previous year: Pidgeotto had evolved once again, and gave Kei yet another reason to improve his sword skills. For the next 7 years, Kei devoted his body and soul to the way of the sword, and Pidgeot and Kei grew even closer then before. It was about 3 years ago that Kei and Pidgeot went on a training journey to increase their skills, that they found themselves caught in a fierce windstorm, and a wall of wind was barreling towards them, Pidgeot leapt into the sky, and delivered a strong Wing Attack, splitting the wind wall in half, inspiring Kei to nickname Pidgeot; Satsu, for splitting the wind. After getting back from their training journey, Kei and Satsu were called on by the Academy to help train Rookies as Experts. The two accepted, and trained hard for a year until the present, taking their first group of Rookies soon…

Region:Sinto
Clan: Clan Shinsuke
Clan Symbol-

Rank: Expert

Weapons of Choice: Kodachi, blade is 30 inches long.

Bloodline Trait: None

Strengths: Kei is extremely efficient in fighting alongside Satsu, and by himself. Works mildly well in a team atmosphere.

Weaknesses: Kei is quite lacking in the Tactics department, he is good at tactics, in theory, although when trying to apply them, he fails.

Want The War To Stop: Neutral

Appearance: Devon is quite muscular and tall for his age,standing at a firm 6 feet. He has dark coloured skin,and jet black hair.Even though he is dark-skinned, his eyes are icy blue.
He has a firm,hard set chest and quite long arms,giving others the impression of a strong gorilla.He only has four fingers on one hand,the other was cut off when he was a baby. He has many tattoos on his face and arms, mostly tribal and one of shooting stars going up his chest.Wears a pair of spiked knuckle-dusters.

Pokémon: Pichu level 20

History: Devon was raised mostly by his grand-parents.His mother died at childbirth and his father was killed 2 months later by the people of the Hoeto region.
When he was 2 years old,his tribes-people cut off his finger as a way too see if he was strong enough to live in this clan and fight with others.He barely survived.Devon grew up mainly in the wild with nothing more than a spear, a pouch for his most precious items and the clothes on his back.This was also a way of toughening him up for later life.It was here that he met pichu, and claimed his first kill.He was hunting a wild stantler, when one day he heard a cry for help.He immediately took off in search for this pokemon.When he arrived on the scene he found that three boys from the Hoeto region had cornered the pichu and were torturing it badly.It tried to fight back, but only succeeded in hurting itself with its electric attacks.Throwing the spear with all his might,it speared one of the boys through the throat and pinned him to the tree,killing him instantly.The other two attacked him,seeking revenge for their fallen comrade.Devon quickly dispatched one with his bare fists whereas the boy had a sword, and the 3rd boy fled in terror.He then proceeded to carve into the boys body, Typhlosion rulz.It was after this that pichu became his lifelong partner,and Devon earnt his first tattoo.The mark of murder.

Region: Sinto

Clan:The goman clan.It was founded around 80 years ago by a man called Caleb Goman.He then expanded it into one of the most brutal tribes in Sinto.

They have only ever lost against one clan,the unspeakable ones,which nearly wiped out the whole Gomans, and killed the last real Goman, Ilyssia Goman,the one and only Female Goman leader.The next clan leader has been disputed for over a decade, and as a result the clan is slowly falling apart...

[Ninetales1]

Tee hee, time to use an ancestor of one my favourite RP characters...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Lesley Merrimac
Gender: Female
Age: 11
Appearance: Lesley is obviously not fully grown yet, for she's just under four feet tall. Her skin has a light peach tone to it, and the rosy hue of her cheeks makes it look as if she is constantly blushing, that is unless she's frightened or sick. The clear blue eyes she has remind one of the sky on a cool day in autumn, the hue of her straight blond hair reminiscent of a dried corn husk. Down to her ears her soft hair touches, and in some lights it takes on a silvery tint. When glimpsed, she looks to be of average build, and her doll-like face makes her look even more delicate than she is. Although on the light side, she is shaped rather nicely, probably due to all the wandering around she does.

Lesley likes to wear light colours like white and blue in normal circumstances. The outfit she's most commonly seen in starts with an off-white long-sleeved blouse made of a thin cloth, with an embriodered flower pattern around the neck and sleeves bunched up just below the elbow. Covering her hands are pale blue gloves that are soft and suede-like to the touch. Below the blouse she wears light blue trousers that appear to have once been sweats but were cut off at the knee. Around the top of this, at her hips, is a white belt with a blue daisy pattern on it. On her feet are white leather boots with rubber soles that match her hair, silver buckles on the sides, and sky blue ribbons tied around the top.

Most of the time, regardless of the weather, Lesley wraps herself in a white woolen shawl with light blue trim. A blue-and-white striped ribbon ties it together at her chest. Lesley hides a little tote bag under this shawl, sometimes two of them, for storing things she finds and steals on her adventures. She keeps important items such as her weapons in a pouch outside one of the bags.

Personality: At first glance, Lesley appears to be a mild-mannered little girl who somehow found herself lost in the world, but doesn't care about finding her way. She has an innocent air about her, probably because she likes to stay a safe distance away from danger. If danger approaches, she's likely to find a place to hide first, and maybe attack from a distance later on. Quiet and level-headed, she thinks before she acts, and avoids being assertive most of the time. In order to get what she wants, she never asks someone directly or takes it by force. Rather, if she wants to ask someone for something, she'll instead hint at it with concerned statements. For example, if she wanted to ask for money, she'll say, after a bit of small talk, something like, "I'm kind of poor right now, and I'm not quite sure how much apples cost nowadays..."

Lesley also has a very curious and adventurous nature. She enjoys exploring the village (in fact, that's how she usually spends her time), and peering into secret spots she may discover along the way. She also enjoys spying on people, and eavesdropping on conversations--a sneak indeed. Also, probably because she hates to beg or ask favours of people, in order to get things like food money, or sometimes clothing, she's inclined to steal it. In fact, the bags she carries under her shawl are for storing stolen goods. However, she does not really like to fight, especially not hand-to-hand. This is why she prefers to use small, ranged weapons--she definitely doesn't want to be seen when she attacks. She will fight for the purposes of self-defence, but only as a last resort and if an enemy happens to find and catch her. And if a wild Pokemon or something else smaller than her attacks her, she'll whack it with a stick or something, then make her getaway.

Despite the fact that she always does her wandering alone, Lesley is not quite a loner. She gets along just fine with other people, especially kids her age, and tries to be polite when around adults. She also not that shy when it comes to making friends and conversations--it's just that she needs her alone time sometimes. Also, it's easy for her to trust people, unless they obviously sound dangerous or untruthful. Nor does she like to hang around loud and talkative people, fearing they would give her away while trying to do something in secret.

As far as miscellaneous things go, Lesley likes to show her emotions in her speech, although she frequently exaggerates them or even makes them up. She also enjoys making up excuses as to why, say, she wasn't at home all day. And often when she goes on a spying "mission", she likes to go in disguise. In general, she prefers to keep her actions secret, even such harmless things as eating or commanding a Pokemon to attack.

Pokemon: Bagon, male, Bold nature. (But Typhlosion still rulz!)

History: The Merrimac family is a family of foreigners, having come from faraway lands only recently. In fact, Lesley is the only member so far who was born in Hoeto. The family has quite a criminal history, most of its members having been bandits or pirates or smugglers. However, they had always been a mild and friendly-appearing family (hence the "Merri" part of the name), and some of its members had lots of friends. Such was the case with Lesley's father. The kind, welcoming citizens of Hoeto liked him for his amiable nature, thankful that he and his wife were not Sinto folk. For the first three years of her life, Lesley lived with her parents in a quaint little house near a river.

After the three years, though, Lesley's father had to return to the faraway town from which the Merrimacs came, because all his good old friends were there. Still, she got along peacefully with her mother, a shy yet fun-loving woman named Ren. Ren often encouraged Lesley to make friends and invite them over for parties at the house, so in the next few years the Merrimac household was indeed a merry haven for the children of the town. Often times Ren would also take in an unhappy child who came from a less kind family, and let them spend the night. It was these children Lesley felt especially sorry for; she used to wish that every child would have a happy, loving family to live with.

But during the day Lesley had hardly anything to do, since most of the other children had business with their own families during that time. As a result, Ren frequently set her off on errands like gathering groceries and supplies, while she stayed home to guard the house and tend the garden. Sometimes Ren would use her backyard as a classroom for seminars on gardening and herbal medicine, which was her main source of income. During that time, Lesley's errands, as well as the latent wanderlust in her blood, caused her to venture about the village, seeing what was in and around it, learning what was going on with various folk, seeing if she could find things of use to her or her mother. It was from this, as well as the nature of her bloodline, that she took to spying and stealing, not because she had to, but because she enjoyed it. Ren even gave her some random advice on it as well. Hiding things under a shawl was Ren's idea, but storing them in hidden bags was Lesley's own.

One of the places she frequently spied on was the Hoeto Ninja Academy, also the training grounds for fighters against the village of Sinto. From this she learned about a few interesting things, such as weaponry and battle styles (she wasn't too interested in the latter), and the nature of the Sinto people. As she learned about Sinto and its ways, the village gave her a definite negative impression. As she saw it, Sinto was a strict, unfriendly place where expressing one's emotions is strongly discouraged, and the emphasis is on fighting. She couldn't begin to imagine what a household in Sinto was like--maybe the kids there were far more disciplined and the parents more strict. The emphasis there seemed to be on avengance of something--maybe a family member's death, maybe Hoeto's "unwelcoming" treatment of its people... Whatever it was, Lesley didn't like the sound of Sinto one bit--she saw why people of Hoeto were so inclined to fight against Sinto.

Thus, Lesley eventually made it her goal to learn more about Sinto, and to do something to stop their "evil" ways. However, she was hesitant to spy on the enemy village, fearing there would be trained assassins there who would kill her on first glance. Even though she had a dagger and some shuriken on her, she knew she wouldn't stand a chance in a fight. For probably the first time in her life, her thoughts became less merry and more serious, helpless to stop such a hostile force. She wanted the world to be a place where people didn't have to fight against each other, where families could be loving rather than strict. It was an unrealistic dream, perhaps, but Lesley kept it at the back of her mind as she continued about her usual daily business in Hoeto. By this time, some of this daily business involved making friends with the children who stayed overnight at her house--sometimes she even talked to the child's parents the day after.

Then ten-year-old Lesley did something that was rather unlike her: ask her mum for advice. Ren reminded Lesley of the dagger Lesley's father had given to her just before he left, and what he said to her then: "Use this to sneak into locked places and wipe the smile off evil faces." The advice Ren gave Lesley was to attend the Ninja Academy. Based on her sneaky, secretive nature, Ren thought she would make a good ninja anyway; all she'd have to do was get used to fighting. And so she did. Lesley was behind most of the students there; most of her peers were more advanced than her, but she made up for this by devoting a lot of time to practise. It also helped that she knew a lot of the material covered already, having spied on a few seminars in the past. Just before going to bed, she thought about fighting tactics and how to make a quick getaway from a fight she didn't want to fight. All this would decide her fate in her testing...

Region: Hoeto
Clan: None. A family consisting of a single mother hardly comes close.
Rank: Rookie, obviously
Weapons: Lesley's weapon of choice is the shuriken, because it is a ranged weapon and can be thrown secretly from a distance. She had been collecting these for quite some time on her adventures, and as a result she has about eight of them, all of different shapes and sizes, in her bag. She has even more at home, but on her travels she only takes her eight favourite ones. But in case she does need to do some close-combat fighting, she does have a dagger on her. This dagger looks a bit like a miniature sword, with a pretty little T-shaped hilt made of brass, and a seven-inch-long blade only half an inch wide at its widest point. This was her goodbye present from her father; thus, she takes it with her wherever she goes. Not only is it suitable for stabbing, but for picking locks as well.
Bloodline Trait: There are no noticeable traits of the Merrimac bloodline, because its only trait makes its members less noticeable. With this trait, if Lesley clears her mind and stops to focus a bit, and avoids looking at a particular person, she can slip right past the person without the person taking notice of her. Some occult scholars say that this is a skill anyone can develop with much practice in aural work, but everyone in the Merrimac bloodline has it as a gift. Sometimes Lesley calls this trait "false invisibility".
Strengths: Lesley is very good at moving around quickly and quietly. Her footsteps are very soft while walking, and she can easily quiet her breathing. She can also run very fast, and is a very good liar.
Weaknesses: Lesley's biggest weakness is the fact that she has had very little combat training. She's also fragile and not very strong. (This is why she doesn't use kunai; she can't throw them very far.)
Want the war to stop: Yes and no. She wants the fighting to stop, but believes that that can happen only after Sinto is set straight or obliterated. And that requires fighting.

RP Sample: This was in another RPG, and was only part of my post...

Spoiler:

Yesterday was a very long and tiring day for Ari. She woke up still upset at her Pokemon Virtual account being deleted, and felt agitated all her time at school. Just before one of her classes, a boy she didn't particularly like approached her, smirking. This was Ken, who some people called a bully.
"Guess what?" he bragged. "My Dialga's level 100 now, and I just took the last of the promotional Metagrosses from Marinda Village's event centre! I got it just this morning, when I went into my Pokemon Virt..."

Ken's talk angered Ari so much that she stabbed him in the neck with her mechanical pencil. He began crying when that happened, which caused some of the other students to laugh at him, but Ari soon found herself in the principal's office. The principal said to her that she was very close to getting some jail time, depending on how badly Ken was hurt. He also called her parents, who were just about to pick her up. But then, later on Ari mentioned something about having to use the restroom, which the principal accompanied her on the way to. However, out of desperation she squeezed her way through the bathroom window and ran away from the school, not stopping until she left Mauville City completely.

Later on that day, after Ari ran into Professor Birch, received her Treecko, made her way to Oldale Town, sent an email to Gon about her starting a Pokemon journey, and received an invitation into the Lyra Program, she planned to head for Petalburg City and board a boat for Pallet Town. She barely had enough money for the trip. So she headed west along the route to Petalburg, encountering several Pokemon along the way, but not wishing to capture any of them for now. She made it to Petalburg City with few problems, but as she started to head deeper into the city, a little boy stopped her and challenged her to a Pokemon battle. Ari really wasn't in the mood for a battle, mainly because she didn't want to risk losing money if she lost, but the boy kept pestering her, saying that it was rude to refuse a Pokemon battle. Eventually Ari decided to accept his challenge--besides, it would be more money for her if she won. The boy smiled and sent out his Pokemon: a Geodude.

Ari of course had to use Maverick for the battle, but the problem was that Maverick's only attacks were Pound and Leer; he would need just a little bit more battle experience to learn Absorb. During the battle, Geodude tried to Tackle Maverick, but Maverick proved to be a quick little Treecko, and was able to dodge all the Tackles. In some cases he even jumped on top of Geodude's head as he dodged and hit him with his tail, although that didn't do much damage. Ari then told Maverick to keep using Leer, as that would lower Geodude's defenses, then finish with a Pound. But in her mind she hoped that Maverick's dodging of Geodude's Tackles counted as "battle experience" and soon he would learn Absorb, which would defeat Geodude much more easily. Maverick did do some pretty fancy dodging--once or twice he leapt up and swung all the way around on a tree branch, landing behind Geodude and shouting at him. (Perhaps he was trying to learn Astonish?) Yet it turned out that the Leer thing didn't work, because the Geodude happened to know Defense Curl, and used that whenever Maverick used Leer. Eventually Maverick got tired from all the dodging, and during one dodge he didn't jump as high as he wanted to. Geodude took advantage of this by grabbing Maverick by the foot. Then he punched the poor Treecko a few times, knocking him out.

After losing the battle, Ari started to run past the boy, hoping to avoid having to give him money. Unfortunately, Officer Jenny happened to appear at that moment, and she also happened to have seen the last part of the battle.
"You know the rules," Jenny said to Ari. "If you lose a Pokemon battle, you owe the winner half your money. Violation of this rule is the equivalent of stealing money."
Ari didn't particularly like Jenny's analogy, but who was she to argue with a police officer? She heard that doing so always got the person into more trouble.

"It's just that now I can't afford my scheduled boat trip to Kanto," Ari commented as she handed the money over.
"Well, that's tough luck," Jenny replied. "Perhaps you should thinking about doing some more training before traveling to a different region."
"It's not that--I have an invitation to the Lyra Program, so I need to be in Pallet Town by tomorrow morning."
"The what?" the boy piped in, only to be given a disapproving look from Jenny. The boy started to walk away.
"...How am I supposed to get there now?" Ari finished.
"This is why you shouldn't battle another trainer at times like this," Jenny nagged.
"I was actually challenged to that battle, and he just talked me into it. But fine--maybe I'm just not meant to be in that stupid program."

With that, Ari walked away, headed for the Pokemon Centre to heal her Treecko. While she was asking Nurse Joy to do so, she explained what had happened and asked if there was any mode of transportation to anywhere near Pallet Town that costed under 1200 Pokedollars. Joy giggled and said no, but she mentioned that since she had no human assistants, she would pay Ari 1200 Pokedollars if she helped her cure some of the injured Pokemon, Maverick among them, that day. It turned out that that day got pretty hectic later on, for there was a huge beachside concert going on that night, and there were lots of people coming through the city, some of whom had occupied themselves with Pokemon battles before their arrival. Some of the equipment was a bit complicated, and an Electrike bit her on the arm, but the experience wasn't too bad, and she even helped Joy enter information about which Pokemon were cured and for what into a computer there. In the end, she got the money she earned, but by the that night the Pokemon Centre was packed with people and there was no place to sleep even in the lobby. With that she left, her final stop in the city being the post office, where she sent her notebooks and such in a package to her house, so that her bag was nearly empty.

And if you missed it, I sandwiched it into my signup.

As for the Pokemon... Surprise me. Lesley is a newly created character, so I have no Pokemon preference for her as of yet.
