Okay, so I just realized that I forgot to put a RP sample in my sign-up. That's pretty crappy of me. I don't have the time to do it right now, but I will try to get something up soon.
 
Well... You're alive, apparently.

Accepted, so long as the Aerodactyl is a baby and therefore weak. Nice sign-up, by the way.

Yeah, I am trying to be more active and what not. Sorry for such a late response though. My spring break hasn't been much of one since I've been busy with work and college stuff.

The Aerodactyl can definatly be an infant. I was actually planing on that to make it seem more fair.

As for my RP example... I looked everywhere for an up to date one but I couldn't find any. I'm really sorry. Would you like me to just make one up for you?

=^^= Nya
 
I have made my revision will you look at it. I would like to join this RPG.
 
Thanks :3.

Yeah, I was searching for a decent avatar x3.~

And you got one. Must've been a big day for you.

(Before I get started, I will let you know that I am going to be trying this a little bit different. I will be writing in a journal-like style. Hope it does not bug you.)

Entry 1: A Simple Introduction

My father always told me that I should try to leave my mark on the world. He said that I needed to do something great so that people will always remember my name. I believe his exact words were "A name is nothing more than crap if it isn't on the mass's hearts, minds, and lips." I had always assumed the old man was just bitter about his life, but eventually I began to see what he meant. Everyone wants to be remembered, to be idolized to a certain degree. I guess I am no different.

Name: Samuel Anders
Age: 14
Gender: Male

Entry 2: Personality

People have told me that I can be rather cold-hearted sometimes. To that I usually respond, "Thank you. And you can be rather idiotic sometimes." I have come to find that this is definitely not the response to give people, especially adults. It usually makes it harder to get what you want from them. I have also come to find out that I am not smart enough to follow this advice. So, I guess you could say that while I am cold-hearted some of the time, I am a smartass all of the time. Now that is not to say that I do not care about others. I could just care less about their feelings. I do what needs to get done regardless of how people feel about it. If that makes me a horrible person then so be it. I would rather be a horrible person who gets things done than a good person who is paralyzed by people pleasing.

Some once told me, "Boy, make sure you always do the right thing. It might not be the easiest decision, but it will always be the most satisfying." Now, the woman who told me this was rather old and somewhat senile, but I don't feel I could hold that against her in her moment of clarity. Do what is right. I have found, since I started my journey, that people don't want what is right. Typically, they want what is fair. Right is not always a fun situation for people. Right is sometimes downright hard. And like people say, "If you can't do it easily, don't do it at all. Who am I to judge though? Everyone lives their own way. Just because I live my life better than most other doesn't make me a better person. Right?

Entry 3: Appearance

I guess it would be important for the reader of this journal, if there ever will be a reader, to know what I look like. Well, I have black hair, short and extremely curly black hair. It falls down to about my eyebrows, and I try to not let it go any further than that. My face has a clear complexion but isn't too attractive, at least I don't think, after that. My nose is crooked thanks to a poorly healed broken nose when I was younger. A rather large scar, a souvenir from a lost fight, cuts across my face from the left side of my nose down to my jaw. My ears are big, and my smile is missing a few teeth. That isn't to say my teeth are bad. The majority that are left and pretty straight and a nice white color. The only redeeming quality my face possesses are my bright green eyes. I have been told they are rather stunning.

My body is nothing to marvel at. I am of average height and weight for my age. I am not the strongest or fastest kid in the world, though I do have a quick step. In a physical fight, I will lose more than win. My mind is my trump card. Needless to say, I tend to keep my shirt on. My taste in clothes is not great, but it gets me by. I typically wear a simple white T-shirt with a casual green button-down over it. Not liking the confining feeling of a long-sleeve shirt though, I cut the sleeves off the button-down. I prefer to wear khaki shorts and sandals, but I am not opposed to jeans and boots if the occasion calls for it.

Entry 4: History/Biography

My mom use to tell me that you cannot begin to understand one's present until you have experienced their past. Well, I don't know how to let you "experience" my past, but I can least explain it to you. I was born in the small town of Roseleaf. If you have never heard of Roseleaf before, it is not a big surprise. The town isn't much to look at. It's a small town full of small town people and has no attractions to draw a crowd. The people, however, like it this way. "No need to change what has work for years," some of the older residents would say. I felt differently. The town was dull and never changing. I needed excitement. That is what really got me interested in becoming a trainer. I needed to get out of that small town.

My dad, Keith, was very supportive of my decision. I think partly because he was never able to have an adventure of his own. Having married at a young age, his life was dedicated to his wife, Debra. Responsibility had a way of getting in the way of fun. Thankfully, my father was a good man and took his role as husband seriously. I wouldn't be here today if he hadn't. I can tell he still longs for adventure and excitement though. On the day I left, I could see the regret in his eyes. I doubt it is something he will ever get over.

My mom and my nine year old sister, Amanda, were not as happy as my dad in my decision. My mom felt I was too young, too inexperienced, and too irresponsible. She tried to talk me out of the journey every other day. I still don't think she respects my decision to leave. Even six months after leaving, I still hear from her, when I call home, about how I need to come home. Hopefully that will change soon. Very soon. Amanda, also known as my shadow, was a bit different. She was crushed when she heard I was going to leave. However, unlike my mom, she was just as excited as me about my upcoming adventure. From the time I mentioned my leaving until the actually day I left, the only time I was without Amanda was when I went to the bathroom and when I slept. It didn't bother me though. It gave me plenty of time to give her advice and prepare her for time without me. She will do fine. It won't be too long before she starts her own journey.

I am not the same person I was when I started my journey. The child-like faith I had in humanity and the kindness I showed to everyone have long been stripped by lies and deceit. I learned early on in my travels that most people couldn't be trust. It's a lesson I will never forget. My first pokémon, a very energetic Mankey, is no longer with me because of that mistake. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had been traveling for about month when it happened. I was a few hours outside of town named Jerton. It had been a long day, and I was dying of thirst. I could have easily made it into town without a drink, but I decided to trust the kindness of a stranger instead. I had seen the man relaxing against a tree from a distance but thought nothing of it. It was until I got closer that I noticed the bottles of water he had sitting around him. Looking back, I should have known something was wrong. Everything from the convenient water to the way he eyed Clyde, my Mankey, screamed out that something was wrong. But I will still naïve to the ways of most people. It only took a few minutes for the drugs in the water to take effect. When I woke back up, all of my supplies and Clyde were gone. I searched for the rest of the day but never found the man again. I collapsed in despair on the outskirts of town. If it hadn't been for the kindness of an elderly gentleman, I would have most likely stayed there.

I was untrusting of the old man at first, having just suffered for my blind trust in a person, but soon he earn my respect. He showed me no ill will, only kindness. He lived by himself. All of his children were long gone and his wife had passed away from old age. He was a kind fellow who only wanted to help. After hearing my story, he offered me a place to stay for a short period of time. I didn't find out till a few days later that the man had connections in the pokémon community. Apparently, he had told my story to one of his good friends. The man, a pokémon professor, felt sorry for me and decided to help. The man contacted a pokémon breeder than he knew and inquired for a replacement for me. The breeder did what she could, and soon I was the owner of a brand new Buizel. The pokémon could never replace my first, but I felt a stronger attachment to it than I ever had for my Mankey. Thanking the old man first all my heart, I vowed to one day revisit and return the kindness he had shown me. The episode taught me much. It taught me that while most humans are deceitful and only out for themselves, there are a few that do what is right.

Entry 5: A New Mission

I have recently heard rumors of interesting activities in Johto, mainly the disappearance of a Professor Theodore Elm. He is supposedly an authority on pokémon in the region. I have heard his name somewhere before, but I can't really remember where. Rumor has it he had some important information on criminal activity in Johto. It was something about capturing legendary pokémon I believe. Regardless, the man went missing sometime ago. At least that was what the new alert said. Funny, a man who says he has valuable information of criminal activity goes missing soon after. I wonder if there is a connection there. Why am I writing this? Well, I have never been off of Kanto in my life. I believe that this is a good enough reason to change that. Plus, this man needs help. I am sure they have hundreds of people looking for him. One more person helping couldn't hurt. Anyways, I am leaving Lavender town tonight and heading towards Vermilion City. From there I should be able to get a ride to Johto.

Dated – March ninth, forty-two minutes past six

Pokémon: Buizel
Nickname: Clydesdale
Gender: Male
History: Clydesdale, while being the pokémon that Samuel has had for the longest time, is Samuel's second acquired pokémon. Clydesdale, often called just Clyde, was born by a breeder named Jennifer Coddwell. After hearing about Samuel's story from a good friend of hers, Jennifer decided to help Samuel by giving him a replacement for his Mankey. The Buizel was barely a year old when Samuel received him but has grown greatly since then. While Clydesdale is still young, he has been in many battles and has shown much potential to be a great battler. Clyde is very laid back and enjoys spending most of his time out of his pokéball. Of Samuel's current pokémon, Clyde is the second strongest and smartest. He follows orders quickly and is very effective at completing said orders.
Move set: Sonicboom, Water Sport, Quick Attack, Water Gun

Pokemon: Scyther
Nickname: Radiance
Gender: Female
History: Radiance, often called Rad by Samuel, was the first pokémon Samuel actually caught. It had been early one morning when Samuel came across the Scyther. The bug pokémon was not very friendly and didn't like other pokémon anywhere near her territory. As soon as she saw Clyde, the bug pokémon attacked. Thankfully, the Scyther was young and not as strong as fully grown Scyther. The battle was hard on both Clyde and Samuel, but in the end, they won and the Scyther was capture. Radiance is the strongest of Samuel's pokémon and the most protective on him. She tends to think that she is the only pokémon Samuel needs and doesn't really get along with Clyde. For this reason, Samuel tends to keep Radiance in her pokéball. In battle, Radiance tends to follow orders, but tends to stop listening if she gets mad. Her short temper can be a liability, but it is something that is slowly getting better.
Moveset: Quick Attack, Leer, Focus Energy, Agility

Pokemon: Whismur
Nickname: Woodsworth
Gender: Male
History: Samuel didn't really catch Woodsworth. During his journey, Samuel can across a very old lady who was having trouble carry some bags to her home. Not having anything to do at the time, Samuel offered to help and got the lady safely back to her home. On the way to her house, Samuel found out that the lady had a granddaughter who was suppose to start her own pokémon journey not too long ago. The old lady had been gotten a pokémon for the girl as a present: a Whismur. Unfortunately, the girl decided that a pokémon journey was not for her at the last minute. Not wanting to be away from home for that long, she continued her education. Well, the Whismur was in a bit of a bind. The pokémon needed a good trainer and the girl had not intention of being one. Reaching the ladies house, Samuel was about to say his good-bye when the lady said she had something for him. Walking into her house, the lady returned after a few minutes with a pokéball. Handing Samuel the pokéball, the lady told him that it was his reward for helping her. Samuel tried to decline but the lady would hear nothing of it. Giving up, Samuel accepted the gift and continued his journey. Woodsworth is cocky jokester. That is the best way to describe his attitude. If out of his pokéball, he will do his best to play a trick of some kind or other. He also tends to try and pick fights. His attitude can cause trouble for Samuel so he is typically in his pokéball.
Moveset: Pound, Uproar, Astonish, Howl

(Also, will we be able to learn different moves and replaces the ones we have on our pokémon. And, is there a limit to moves a pokémon can have.)

No, there isn't a limit to the moves you can have, and they can learn new moves by experience or TMs/HMs, the usual stuff.

I've tried to be realistic by Pokemon standards, though maybe you meant realistic by real world standards. Either way, it's all up to you to either accept or not, hehe.

Name: Alyssa Saterson

Age: Thirteen

Gender: Female

Personality: Alyssa is not afraid to speak her mind. That is, you'd either hate her or love her for her sharp tongue and complete bluntness in every situation she walks into. If she turns up in one she does not find to her likings, she'll pry her way out. She talks like the meanest kid on the block and most of the time means it, giving hardly any sympathy unless the act will cause something good to come her way. She cooperates only when she needs to and will help others if the pay is good, and on some occasions, if she is in the mood.

In a way, besides her obvious quest similar to others to be a Pokemon Master, she has obtained a unique status among people through word of mouth. Not anything good, but among the impact she's given, they say she'll do any job. As long as the pay is reasonable (which to her can reach exceedingly high rates), she will agree to help Skitty down that tree or assinate someone in particular (not that she has been given a job to that calibur (meaning this to be an over exaggeration of what she is capable of)).

She has a positive side to her. It is nothing on the inside, but what lies on the outside. With her, she carries three Pokemon, and each one, with their unique personalities, guide Alyssa in different directions. Surely in the near future, her outlook on life (which she believes is a terrible thing) can change.

Appearance: Recently, Alyssa has dyed her hair to red. She says it is to more easily unnerve her peers in battles and just about anyone else. As for the rest of her attire, she is usually garbed in red vest with a black undershirt, wearing black sweatpants to match and red shoes. Though her hair does match with the rest of her, it is the way it looks that throws her entire appearance off, springing in all different directions. Some would go as to call her frazzled had her expression said otherwise. No; every which way she looked and acted were to appear non-friendly.

History/Biography: Alyssa has never felt unconfident. Since the beginning of her journey to where she lies now, through hardships and all, she has never doubted herself or looked vulnerable. Inside, she prides herself in this, but keeps it so far down that no one can see it. They see her as the neighborhood bully, so she lives up to it.

When she began her journey, she used her Zigzagoon to fight off the wild Pokemon. She caught nothing but one Pokemon, and still mostly trained with Zig. How she obtained Zig as a starter when she started her journey in the Sinnoh region was not luck, but persuasion on the nearest proffessor and distributer of starter Pokemon. She has done a lot of persuasion and deals in her journey to get whatever it is that she wants. The only things she has not done deals to gain were the badges; she believed those must be earned, and those are the times when she acts closer to an actual human being.

She has gained so far, three badges, and only has three Pokemon.

Pokèmon: Zigzagoon

Nickname: Zig

Gender: Male

History: Zig was a Pokemon imported from Hoenn and shipped to Sandgem Town for research under Proffessor Rowan. On the night Zig met his trainer, he was very sleepy. Zig had an attitude equivelent to Alyssa's only when he awakens from a deep slumber, and has had that attitude even before he met his trainer. Likewise, when Proffessor Rowan guiltily handed him over to Alyssa, he felt he was doing the wrong thing after all the beggings for a Hoenn Pokemon research group. Yet, it was all for the betterment of his lab. Alyssa did him a huge favor by treking to Jubilife City where another deal had been made with the Poketch Company for additional research files and Pokedex's. As for Zig, after a breif attitude adjustment as he left the lab with his trainer, he proved to be a nearly exact opposite of Alyssa.

Pokèmon: Sandshrew

Nickname: No nickname

Gender: Male

History: Sandshrew was stolen. Alyssa made the bold move to help (to a certain degree of cash value) capture a convoy of stolen Pokemon led by a group of Team Galactic members. She and the group that hired her had managed to steal the Pokemon, and when they began to distribute them back to their right owners, there was one left. Though Alyssa was paid well, the prospect of having a Sandshrew on her team was far greater than the money. She traded the cash value for the Pokemon, and gained a new companion.

Sandshrew was very much like Alyssa at first, complete with the sour attitude and all. When he saw how Alyssa acted for the first time, he felt he needed to be better than her, and tried to act tougher. All this ended up doing was forming a bond Alyssa could not see clearly, and Sandshrew became a much calmer type.

Pokèmon: Shinx

Nickname: No nickname

Gender: Male

History: Though Alyssa acts like an opposite of a trainer, and would rather not have more than one Pokemon, Shinx was too hard to resist for her. She had a certain liking to the Pokemon even before she began her journey, though this liking has not softened her to the Shinx. She treats the Shinx as she does to Zig and Sandshrew. Shinx himself is closer to Zig and has had some of his go-lucky attitude rub off, but is at the same time a different entity entirely. He has skepticism on a lot of things that come up, most commonly when he battles, while Zig and Sandshrew are more believing in their passing.

RP Sample:

The Zigzagoon had been awakened quietly by the one person he had known so far in existence. The human carried him in his arms, all the while Zig grumbled unhappily. He did not hate this act, but did not like to be disturbed when he was so into a dream. He hated the action, and already was beginning to forget the world he had spun round him.

"Yes," said a voice. "Alright, I'll take it."

He turned to the direction of the voice, rubbing one of his eyes clear with his paw to shake the sleep away. He was given to someone else's arms, and at first growled, but was tapped sharply on the nose and backed off.

The one thing that bothered him while he was forced awake in this room was the brightness. He could not get used to it, and it further irritated him. He pawed at whoever it was that held him, and slowly, his eyes adjusted. It was a girl, young at age, but the Zigzagoon could not tell which age exactly. He was not good at guessing the human aging ways.

"Who are you?" he asked. "Why do you hold me?"

Before he could guess at much, the young girl and the man who had been taking care of him shook hands.

"Pleasure doing business with you," said the girl.

"I have to thank you too, Alyssa," said the man. "Good luck on your journey."

Those words. It was quite obvious what was happening, and the moment the Zigzagoon figured it out, the crankiness within him withered and a whole new wave of emotions spread, from anger to excitement to fear.

He is giving me away! he thought. He's sending me off with this girl to go on an adventure...like the ones my brothers used to talk about!

Yes, he remembered quite clearly. Though the man who took care of him was his greatest memory so far, he remembered life before his locked state at wherever and whatever it was he found himself in. He remembered green grass and trees and playing with others around him in fun games. Most of all, he remembered his brothers, and how they talked of great adventures that humans took. They would catch you, and if you were lucky, you could be led somewhere special, where the rewards were grand and a neverending set of battling awaits.

Battling was something he loved; almost all Pokemon enjoyed it. They battled each other a lot in the wild to get the sense of freedom and and a feeling of pure bliss that could be found in no other action. Likewise, there were stories about humans who helped Pokemon achieve battling a wider variety of battles, and it was said to be the greatest experience ever.

Those stories were true; he could now see it as he was led out of the building he had resided in for so long. So it did not matter the fact of who he was going with at the time, about who she was and how she was like. She seemed okay so far, with black straight hair and all. And so, with a smile upon his face, he climbed abord his...what was it that his brother said they were called? Ah yes. Trainers.

That was so long a year before. Now, she was different. Though he may have not changed, he could see that his trainer has. She's gained a new look and all, and even Zig has to agree she looks quite frightening.

Zig. That was the name she had given him. He paid no mind to it (not that he thought it was a bad name) and concentrated mostly on what was at hand, which usually turned out to be battles and deals. He had to admit that his trainer had a very strange personality, but he had gotten used to it. It bothers him not.

Accepted. Realistic as in, if a Shinx goes against a Geodude, it's gonna lose.

Okay, so I just realized that I forgot to put a RP sample in my sign-up. That's pretty crappy of me. I don't have the time to do it right now, but I will try to get something up soon.

You do that.

Yeah, I am trying to be more active and what not. Sorry for such a late response though. My spring break hasn't been much of one since I've been busy with work and college stuff.

The Aerodactyl can definatly be an infant. I was actually planing on that to make it seem more fair.

As for my RP example... I looked everywhere for an up to date one but I couldn't find any. I'm really sorry. Would you like me to just make one up for you?

=^^= Nya

I've read some of your work, it's fine.

I have made my revision will you look at it. I would like to join this RPG.

I would like the personality to be better.
 
Alright, I add a RPG sample. It is in a normal writing style, I think it should work. If there is anything I need to change, just let me know.
 
I edited my personality and I wanted to know what else I may need to edit.
 
I'm wondering when this Roleplay is going to get started. I'm about to finish my RP sample right now.
 
Seems interesting. If my own RPG picks back up I might not be as active as otherwise, but I'll see if I can manage (if I get accepted, that is).

Name: Ayla Rubison

Age: Thirteen

Gender: Female

Personality: Ayla is quite shy around others. She is anything but outgoing and tends to slink away into darker corners while in public. All her life she has been this way, but it really has nothing to do with her being so reserved as much as it relates to her vivid imagination. While most people are busy with their lives and their realities, she prefers to ponder upon things that really have little importance, such as where Pokemon came from, or what her parents were like. In actuality, she would simply rather remain in her own little world than worry about the problems that everyone else has.

Despite her attitude toward most people, Ayla forms distinctive bonds with Pokemon. Ever since she met her first Pokemon and lifelong friend, she has had a sort of means of communicating with them. Few Pokemon, wild or tame, would see her as athreat or bother, and even fewer would consider as much as resenting her, whether they knew her previously or not. Ayla just has this aura of gentle humbleness that Pokemon can sense more than people. She is simply not a person who anyone or anthing else could find a truly good reason to dislike.

Appearance: Though Ayla is thirteen, she looks much closer to nine or ten. She is very small, both in height and weight, and has not the slightest bit of distinct maturity to be visibly seen, other than perhaps her piercing green eyes.

She rarely wears anything too extravegant or "stylish". It's mainly gray and/or black, perhaps blue jeans, perhaps a T-shirt. The only noticable thing she will wear is a necklace that was apparently passed down from her parents. This necklace has a pure blood-red ruby hanging on it, but is otherwise just a plain, thin, silver chain.

Ayla's skin is rather pale, and her hair is a dark black shade, hanging at about shoulder-length.

History/Biography: Ayla never knew her parents, or anything about them. She grew up with her grandmother, never knowing or getting any answers about them. While the mystery of her parents brought forth several questions (were they alive?; who were they?; etc.), she decided that actually trying to figure out more about them was a hopeless cause, and henceforth resorted to imagining about them and believeing they were alive and simply unable to care for her. The only things her parents left her with were her ruby-necklace and a peculiarly-colored Meowth kitten, now her best friend and true companion.

Her grandmother began having Ayla do work for her ever since she was old enough to do it. Ayla did the shopping, laundry, cooking, and pretty much everything else. As young as five she went about town on errands and the like (despite that she and her grandmother happened to live in the rather poor, run-down side of Goldenrod City), and perhaps it was her innocent "aura" that kept her out of danger. She never complained or had a problem with her many chores, if they could be called that, because she'd never known life any other way. There was no school or education (things her grandmother could not afford); only supporting her caretaker.

Sometime when Ayla was about ten or eleven, she came home to find her grandmother dead of natural causes. While this should have meant that she be taken to an orphanage, as she had been told, she also knew of how children her age went on Pokemon journies, which sounded much more entertaining. So, what for some would have been a tragic family death was for Ayla an exciting new era of her life.

Her adventures in Jhoto had been rather uneventful. Badges were not as interestiong to her as the quest itself, and as long as she had her Pokemon and her freedom, she was fine. That does not mean she has a dislike for battling though, for the strategic sport is seen by her as a great way to excerscise her mind and her Pokemon.

The recent events have come to Ayla's ear from her seat in a Pokemon Center, the place she intends to stay for this night. She is considering traveling to Sinnoh, not to capture Shaymin, but to get the rare opportunity to see a Legendary Pokemon. Perhaps, if she can find a way to get there...

Pokèmon: Meowth

Nickname: Ginger

Gender: Female

History: Ginger was given to Ayla by her grandmother on her fourth birthday. Apparently she had been kept in a Pokeball since Ayla was born, and somehow aging doesn't happen much if at all in a Pokeball, so Ginger emerged as a young kitten. Ever since she has been Ayla's companion, trusting her and few others.

The only peculiar thing about Ginger is her fur color. Rather than the normal pale and featureless fur of most Meowths, she has a dazzling coat of mixed autumny auburn shades, ranging from blonde to a reddish russet color. Otherwise, as far as her abilities and anything else goes, she is completely normal. Her fur color was never explained, though it seems to have some connection with Ayla's parents.


Pokèmon: Murkrow

Nickname: Sky

Gender: Male

History: On an uneventful day, a young Murkrow went flying with his flock over Goldenrod, and landed on a telaphone line for a rest. Somehow, most likely due to the low quality of the area's telaphone cables, he ended up being electricuted, and he fell to the ground. Ayla found him and nursed the wounded bird back to health, naming him Sky. Even after Sky was fit enough to return to his flock, he chose to stay with Ayla, having found a strange liking for her and being grateful that she could have very well saved his life.

Note: As for the movesets, I'd rather not. It just feels more realistic to me that Pokemon would be able to use any move they've ever learned than to suffice with the rule of a video game.

RP Sample:

Ayla's joyful air had left her, and Ginger knew it as soon as they'd entered the house. It was obvious and apparent. Something was wrong. Why was Ayla's grandmother not moving? The question's answer was, quite simple, was hard to grasp fully.

Her friend took a few steps forward, and she kept as close as a shadow. Yes. Their fears had been confirmed by the stillness of the old woman's body. Not even a single breath was drawn. She was dead.

The first emotion was sorrow. While she had never shown as much as a single bit of appreciation or kindness, Ayla's grandmother was a caretaker, to a degree. They had become used to her presense and her existence, and the fact that that would no longer be with them was devestating.

The second emotion was worry. Without her, as Ayla knew, there was no house. Without a house, where would they sleep? Where would they live? There was also no more of the strangely consistent supply of money that had apparently come from her parents. There would be no more trips to the store to buy food.

And then came the thing everyone who loses a caretaker must consider: What now? It seemed almost wrong to be asking such a question, but what choice was there? None. Absolutely...
 
Well, I've taken my time getting back to this, my apologies. iLike2EatPiez, accepted. K9S8, I'll accept you because I feel like it.

Whatever follows within my sign-up, I didn't really put any effort into it as I just want to get this show on the road.

Name: Yosami Eclipse.

Age: Fourteen.

Gender: Male.

Personality: Yosami is a cocky, headstrong boy who is not scared of most things, or at least claims he isn't. Most would list him as an immature person, but he does have a caring side that he'll only let his best friends see. He is extremely competitive and despises people that cheat. He wants all the attention he can get all of the time and often exaggerates his stories to look cool.

History: Yosami was born in Goldenrod City to a middle-class family. He had a reasonable upbringing, and he managed to end up with good results in his exams at the end of it all. He never got into any fights, or, at least, that's what he has gotten to his mother and father to believe. He managed to accept the fact that his family didn't have that much money and that he wasn't always able to get the stuff he wanted, and he was never bitter about it. It was around Yosami's thirteenth birthday that his father was shot in a bank hold-up. Yosami had been told by his mother that his father was just an innocent civilian that went to the bank at the wrong day. Yosami accepted that, and it wasn't until five months later that he realised he was never told the whole story, and why he wasn't allowed to watch the television or listen to the radio anymore, so he decided to go to the one place for information he was able to go to, and went to the library. The boy later found out by searching the internet that his father had been behind the robbery on the bank, after going through the descriptions of the robbers and hearing that one of the fugitives had been shot in the leg. He couldn't accept this and didn't want to be part of his family anymore, so he ran away, wanting to go to Viridian City.

Appearance: Yosami has black hair, just reaching the top of his shoulders. He's tanned in colour, as there had always been a lot of sun in Goldernrod City. The boy resembles an Egyptian and stands at about 5'9". His bright blue eyes are like outcasts compared to his dark complexion, and that's normally what people notice about him.

For clothes, Yosami prefers polo shirts and jeans, usually white in colour.

OOSU: Ahaha. Out of sign-up. Anyways, I know that was a horrible description but I don't want to wear away the little patience you people have left.


Pokèmon: Growlithe.
Nickname: Rex.
Gender: Male.
History: Yosami had nearly reached Olivine City. It had been his birthday two days beforehand and he was now fourteen. As he was travelling along the routes from Ecruteak City to Olivine City, he noticed a red dog lying down on the ground. It seemed to be in great pain and distress, as it kept wincing and whining. Yosami cautiously walked over to the Pokèmon his Pokèdex would later confirm to be Growlithe. He had one Pokè ball on his belt, he had purchased it back in Goldenrod when he was leaving, and he decided to take a chance and lob it on the Pokèmon. It rolled twice before stopping and staying still. The boy was quite disappointed with the anti-climatic catch, but he had a Growlithe because of it, and, needless to say, the Pokèmon ended up in a Pokèmon Center.

RP Sample:

As Chimchar landed on the ground, Noah saw his blonde partner glancing in his direction. He didn't care what she thought about his choice, anything was better than watching his Pichu get beaten up by a Geodude. He grinned a tiny but when he saw Kat's Shinx licking his paw, obviously bored to death by Noah taking too long to choose his Pokèmon.

"Shinx!" The single word cut through the silence like a knife, snapping Shinx back into action. He stood, his back arched slightly. His hair had begun to stand on end, and he was emitting a soft growl, white teeth bared. Noah found the fact that Shinx was nearly intimidating amusing. The blue-haired boy noticed that Kat's eyes were just a tiny bit red and prayed that her attachment to Kozue wasn't going to effect the ball.

"Shinx, use a Thundershock attack!" Shinx's bristled fur began to spark, electricity coursing throughout his body. With a light roar, he sent a bolt towards the Kabutops. The shellfish Pokémon was prepared, however. Bringing a single sickled claw up to its face, Kabutops swatted the Thundershock away as if it had been a fly. That move has startled Noah, he had been thinking of the games he played when he was younger, but this wasn't about stats, this was about imagination and strategy. Anything could happen in a Pokèmon world that wasn't virtual. The ancient Pokémon charged Shinx, slashing it with one claw. The lion cub squeaked softly as he flew to the side, his small body skidding along the rock surface. He wasn't out for the count, though. Not just yet. Slowly, he pushed himself back up. He was definitely injured. Kabutops had no intention of letting up on the vicious assault. Once more, it rushed towards Kat's Pokémon. Shinx's attempt to dodge was in vain. As he leapt to the side, Kabutops switched attacking hands and connected with Shinx's body. Getting up took a bit more effort, his body now more damaged. The slash came again the second Shinx stood. This time, Shinx hit the wall, a small whimper escaping his lips. He didn't even try to get up. His small body shook, small tremors rippling across his skin.

"Shinx!" Kat screamed. Noah was too immersed in the action to realise that his Chimchar and Brock's Geodude were standing opposite each other, waiting for orders. The teenager wanted to see how well Kat managed to control her emotions under peer pressure. He willed her on silently. Her eyes were getting more red and he feared a mental breakdown, but in his short time with Kat, Noah had more or less realised that his partner was stronger than that. Sinx cried his name out, hoping to grab Kat's attention and bring her back down to earth. The blonde smiled at her Pokèmon and wiped her tears away. The lion cub responded by standing, weakly staring down Kabutops.

"Shinx, use everything you've got! Put all your energy into one supercharged Thundershock!" Once more, electricity coursed throughout his body. This time, though, the lights began to flicker. Shinx released his energy, a maneuver after which he collapsed to the floor. The lightning hit Kabutops straight in its chest, jolting every portion of its torso. It too, collapsed, light smoke trailing off of it. Instantly, Kat leapt off the podium, scooping Shinx up into her arms.

"Thank you...so much..." She smiled at her Pokémon, crying once more. "I'm so sorry...I'll never do anything like that again...I don't want to lose you..." As she buried her face in his fur, Shinx weakly licked her chin. "Y...you're right...I...I have to be strong..." At that, she wiped her tears away, petting the lion cub.

"Noah!" She shouted, looking up at him. "It's all up to you now!"

It's amazing how you can lose track of something so big because something even bigger was happening in front of your eyes, but that didn't help Noah feel any better when he realised that his Pokèmon was meant to be battling alongside Shinx, not in some turn-based fight. Noah knew Kat wrongly thought that Chimchar was part fighting, but he wasn't going to purposely make her lose faith in him. He'd keep up the act as long as he could, so long as Kat had support for him. It's the little things that help, after all. Noah began to feel heartless, there was Kat, nearly crying during her battle because of the loss of Kozue, and here was Noah, cracking jokes to himself.

"Chimchar!" The red monkey snapped his head in Noah's direction. What do I do now? Play it crazy like I did against Fenra? May as well, it worked for me that time. "Use Focus Punch!"

As Noah had issued his orders, Brock had done the same thing, unheard by the spectators and the opponent. The rock with eyes and two arms lunged at Noah's chimp. Ah, a tackle attack. Noah knew full well that Chimchar didn't know the move Focus Punch, so he decided to try instant improvisation as a technique. "Alright, Chimchar, dodge that attack!" By the time the syllables had left Noah's mouth in the correct order to form a sentence, Geodude had rammed himself into Chimchar and Noah's pocket monster was hurled against the ground where he skidded until he came to a halt a couple of metres away from Noah himself. Damn it. Noah cursed silently to himself. "Alright, Espa, we're still in this!" He shouted at his Pokèmon.

Think, think. What did all those Anime Style Battling competitions on various forums tell you? That impossible was nothing. Cut that out, this isn't some random Adidas ad. But it was true, impossible was nothing, Noah could still win with the type advantage and strength Geodude had over Espa, he just had to play the few things he could to turn the battle his way. So what did he have to figure out first? He asked himself as he saw his Chimchar stand up. Brock had oviously decided this battle would be a walk in the park and was having a casual pep talk with his fighter. Noah looked around the stadium and the realisation he came to was amazing.

Brock's gym was like a warehouse, and on the inside of every warehouse you have hangers running up the sides of the building and joining just under the roof. It was true that Chimchar wasn't a fighting Pokèmon, but a fighting move would still be a critical hit against the Geodude. "Okay, Espa!" The Chimchar was alert and waiting for his master to give him instructions. "Climb up that huge pole on the side of the gym!" There's no way this is going to work. This is crazy. Chimchar might fall and the battle will be over before it even began. It was obvious Brock and his Geodude had discussed a game plan because the Geodude came flying at the Chimchar with rocks in his hands.

This is going to be interesting. Geodude and his rock throwing commenced as Chimchar raced up the metal banister. "Dodge those rocks, Espa!" Noah screamed. The banister was a rectangle in shape, with one side buried deep into the wall, and the other three facing out. Noah's Pokèmon didn't need to be told that if he didn't want to fall to an early death, he's have to jump from side to side as well as climb up it. The third rock that Geodude sent flying at the red monkey collided with his hand and Espa shrieked in pain but didn't let go. "Keep going, Espa!" Noah shouted. How the Hell can a Geodude fly, anyways?

Espa's nails digged into the metal he was climbing and after five minutes or so of dodging rocks, he reached the top. Noah knew that this was a win-lose situation, either Chimchar would fall off the top to his early death or Geodude would end up face down in the ground. "Now hop onto the railing on the ceiling and walk to the very middle!" The determined blue-haired boy knew it was easier said than done but he had complete faith in his Chimchar. The monkey ran across the metal, obviously scared out of his wits as the Geodude continued throwing rocks at him.

"Now, Espa, jump on Brock's Pokèmon!" This is crazy, there's no way this is going to succeed. You've let Kat down, you've let the team down. Noah clenched his fists as he watched his Chimchar dangle from the railing, about seventy feet from the ground, before jumping onto the human rock. Surely the weight of the two Pokèmon combined is going to be too heavy for Geodude's levitation trick. Surely. It became quite apparent that Chimchar was too much of a load for Geodude and they began falling through the air, not as fast as normal, as Geodude was still trying to stay in the air and get Espa off him at the same time, but fast enough for Chimchar to be knocked out if he hit the ground.

As the two Pokèmon neared the rubble on the ground, about twenty feet up, Noah screamed, "Now, Espa, punch Geodude downwards and push off him as you do so." Noah knew nothing about physics, but he prayed his calculations were right this time. The monkey hit the rock between the eyes and jumped off him. Geodude his the ground first, dust filled the air around him and it was impossible to tell what was going on. Noah heard his partner cry his name, but he couldn't see what had happened seeing as the dust was in the way. It took a few seconds for the dust to clear away, but when it did, Noah didn't know what to think. Chimchar was standing upright, looking a bit tipsy, but other than that, fine. Brock's Geodude, on the other hand, was lying face down in rubble.

"And victory goes to the visitors!" An official shouted out from the sidelines.

"You did good, Espa, we'll get you to a Pokèmon Center right away." Noah returned his Pokèmon to his red and white sphere and turned to his blonde partner. "We did it."

OOC: I've been ordered to start this. So yeah. Here I go. lol

IC:

Location: Pokemon Center Lobby

"In later news, the chief of the Sinnoh Police Force had this to say:

"Shaymins current location is currently unknown. But that hasn't stopped these people from attempting to capture it. We here at the police force will do all that we can to find and protect this legendary before these people locate it."

"We here at Sinnoh News will keep you updated on the situation at hand. Let us just hope that we can get to Shaymin first. In other news..."


The news program left the Shaymin story, leaving Coin and me baffled as we sat alone on a green sofa. We couldn't even fathom the reasoning behind the actions these people were taking. Capture the legendary Shaymin?! Nonsense! It just couldn't be done! At least we thought that.

I turned my attention to Coin who had his arms folded as he shook his head back and forth. He was probably thinking that these people were a disgrace as well as pathetic morons who believed in the down right impossible. He glanced at me with his green eyes which were almost completely hidden by his black triangular sunglasses. It was then that I knew what he was thinking.

"You're crazy," I expressed, getting up to stretch. Coin just looked at me again without speaking a solitary word. His stabbing glare hitting me harder each time I risked eye contact with him. "I just don't think we should go on this wild Shaymin hunt! For god's sake it's a god damn legendary Pokemon! The odds of even finding a hint as to where it may be is remote! A one in one million chance!" I proclaimed with arms raised.

Coin just looked at me though. He knew what I was saying was 100% true, but that didn't stop him from striking me down harder and harder with his 'death glare'. He even added in a huff as his ear twitched and paws tapped.

"Fine!" I said while turning toward the muted T.V. "We'll help them! Happy?" I asked, looked back to him. He had this smug little smile on his face, as if saying 'I knew you'd come to my side. It was only a matter of time before you fell to my glare.'

Honestly, I wasn't sure at all what to do with him. Though a Meowth he may be, he was more persuasive then my old teacher back at Pokemon tech, Mr. Cambell. He could get a Caterpie to evolve before the required level just by telling it to over and over and over again!

"We'll leave tomorrow. For now lets just rest."

"Nya."

=^^= Nya
 
<3

Sorry it took so long to post the RP sample. I thought the RP was pretty much dead, so I didn't bother posting. But it's up there now, so I just hope it's good enough. ^^'
 
Umbreongirl, do I even need to tell you your accepted?
 
The tension was high. Sweat dripped slightly from Alyssa's forehead. She really did not know what she was doing, but it was either steer the lost boat until something came up or get lost at sea.

The captain was off near the coast of Sinnoh. It had all been a set-up; he had wanted to capture Alyssa's Pokèmon and then leave her stranded somewhere near the shoreline. It seemed to be the perfect plan, only Alyssa was not so dumb enough to fall for it. Sure she may have fell for it for awhile, but knew what was happening way earlier than expected and managed to turn things in her favor. For starters:

There were only three crew members to lead her onto the boat.

Two left before they were off at sea leaving only the captain and Alyssa together.

The captain only weighed a light 125 pounds. Zig easily head-butted him overboard.

What really got to Alyssa was how they thought they could steal her Pokèmon. They really had absolutely no plan whatsoever, leaving what they had done to be pointless and left to lady luck. Alyssa figured they would have had some sort of plan of action set in motion; like as if helecoptors would come from nowhere and begin dropping bad guys left and right.

Yeah right.

No such luck. So what does she do? Well, that is why she has trusty Zig to help navigate the oceans. Afterall, she knew nothing about boating and only came on this boat for a considerable sum of 12,000 Pokèdollars to help catch something rare to Sinnoh shores. She kept going over this through her head and putting herself down for actually believing someone would think she could do something like that so early in her trip. Then again, there was already a rumor about her. It was only a matter of time before something like this, idiots thinking she was almighty and powerful, decided to try and rob her of her possesions.

Zig stood by her side atop a sort of dashboard fashioned table. The first thing he had noticed was there not being any land anywhere. It was obvious that this was a predicament, so the furious search for anything came soon after.

But nothing lay upon the horizon. It was an endless ocean filled with endless water Pokèmon, and as it seemed, they may be riding those sees for an endless amount of time.

"I can't see anything!" Alyssa shouted, clearly angered.

Strange. Zig would figure that Alyssa would be like most humans, and be more scared than proactive. But no, that was not the case. Alyssa was anything but a normal human in the way her mind worked. Her head was always clear of emotions and she thought and acted on only what was the obvious.

Zig turned out to the sea only wanting to agree, but then his sharp eyesight caught something off in the distance.

"I see land!" he cried aloud. He pointed with his paw in hopes to obtain his trainer's attention. It was not surprising that she was able to understand quickly at what he meant when he spoke aloud.

"I see nothing," she said sharply, but still put the boat in gear straight forward (or at least tried to). In any case, it worked, and the boat took a fast plummet ahead. "Alright!" she shouted maniacally, "Now we're getting something done!"

The land was in view and it seemed that the two would safely make it unharmed. But no, again it was not the case. Something had to happen right in front of the boat.

Two Gyarados had been in a brawl underneath the waters and had gone by completely undetected until they decided to take it to the surface. They happened to appear like puppets pulled high strung to the sky. All that goes up must come down though, and down they came on the boat. It was down and submerged underwater quicker that a single Pokèmon trainer's shouted command.

This would have been the end of her life's journey, never being able to finish any of it's accomplishments. But like his trainer, Zig was persistant to an extent, and was not going to allow this to be the end.

Water was everywhere. His trainer was not light in the least bit, but land was just up ahead. Zig would only have to tire for a little bit before he could rest, and even then, he had certainly been through worse problems on the wild rides he and Alyssa took.

Unfortunately determination did not overweigh pure logic, and though Zig would have rather made it to the shore first, he lost conscious out in the open sea while trying to drag his trainer.

It was all a trick of the mind though; he had never been pulling his trainer along because he was far too weak of a Pokèmon to do such a thing. What really got them both safely to the shoreline were the tides.

--

"...and that's how I ended up here in Slateport with my injured Pokèmon," Alyssa finished. All the while, Nurse joy had the most disbelieving expression ever in existance. Nevertheless, it was her job to heal Pokèmon, not ask questions.

As Alyssa made her way back to the waiting room, she smiled one of her rare smiles. So maybe she did overexaggerate by much, and maybe the captain that drove her to Slateport on accidental misconception was currently at the markets of this low slum city, and maybe the real reason Zig was currently injured was because of a loss with a water Pokèmon battle held between her and the captain, but hey, she liked to extend the truth a little.
 
As Madelyn groped blindly around in the muck for Sparks, who had been flung out of her arms when she tripped over the root, her ears attuned to footsteps sloshing down the muddy Forest path Dahlia had disappeared down. Immediately tensing up, Maddie realized that they weren't Pokemon footsteps, they were Human footsteps. Almost every person in Kanto knew the famous face of the President's daughter, so she instantly panicked, fretting that whoever they were, they would see her and turn her in.

Perfect. She thought bitterly. Only starting my first day on the mission, and already someone's busted me. It's not like I can just fight them off, either. With a fainted Pichu, a sprained ankle, and a runaway Eevee, i'll have to resort to bluffing.

Sighing, and pulling herself up, Maddie turned her face upward, squinting her eyes in the rain at the silhouette who stood silently before her. Surprised that the figure wasn't attempting to come any closer to her and try and figure out who she was, Maddie then tried to determine if the figure was Male or Female.

Definitely Male. She decided, noting the person's strong, but lean body, toned with muscle specifically on his arms and legs. He was thin, but not scrawny, just an average-looking guy.

At least I think it's a guy. Maddie was starting to second-guess herself. Either that, or it's one really built chic.

As Maddie pondered over this, the figure finally stepped closer to her, just enough for her to get a good look at him, and when she did, her heart stopped beating in her chest and all breath escaped her body. She felt like she was going to pass out from the shock, but then realized she shouldn't be too surprised, since Pallet was his hometown after all.


"Long time, no see, Maddie" Gary Oak's face broke out in a broad grin, his kind Chocolate eyes staring thoughtfully down at her, as if he could hardly believe seeing her there himself. Upon seeing her old Childhood friend, Maddie immediately cheered up, her face lighting up as a tiny smile stretched across her lips at the same time.

"Gary.." She whispered hoarsely, unable to stop smiling as she just barely managed to croak out his name. Inside, she was wild with excitement at the sight of him, since the last time they had spoken had been about two years ago, when he was fourteen, and she was only twelve. She had been so busy with campaigns and speeches and public appearances, she hadn't realized how sorely her heart had ached for her old friend until now.

"Need some help?" He asked, not really sure of what else to say to her. It was obvious she needed help, by looks of her twisted ankle and the fainted Pichu spraweled out in front of her. At this simple question, Maddie felt a great load lift from her shoulders, as her eyes slowly began to overflow with tears, and soon they came flowing down her pale, delicate face. She hoped desperately that he didn't notice, since the raining hadn't yet ceased, and at first, he pretended not to, but on the inside, his heart was breaking at seeing her trapped in so much obvious pain. She had been sharing in her grief only with Sparks and Dahlia, and the combination of her mother's death alongside the excruciating, stressful beginning of her journey had been too much for her to handle, but Maddie had always been good at bottling her emotions. As she thought once again of her mother's face, Maddie broke down, loud sobs erupting from her thin chest as she cupped her tiny hands around her face, crying openly before Gary, not even seeming to notice his existence as she lamented over the unfairness of it all.

Mom.. Maddie though bleakly, the pain in her heart slicing open like a fresh wound. Her heart ached for her poor mother, whose Funeral she wouldn't be able to attend.

As Maddie began to sob uncontrollably, Gary rushed over to her, the awkwardness instantly forgotten as tears filled his own eyes, and on instinct, he wrapped his arms around her delicate form, holding her against him, pressing her face against his chest as he simply bowed his head, allowing her to cry in it. He had loved April Maywah too, though his love for her didn't even come close to comparing to Maddie's, obviously. He had loved her as a person, and respected all the causes she fought for. He knew that she would've wanted her only offspring to be happy, regardless of what happened to her, so Gary did exactly what he knew April would've done in a situation like this one. He held Maddie, and rubbed her back, whispering soothingly to her as she only continued to cry.

It's been so long. He thought, and immediately, he was overcome withe remorse, and regret. He regretted not being there for her for the last two years, on missing out on a part of her life he would never have the chance to experience again. They had been best friends, and he had left her six years ago.

I promise, i'll make up for all of that now. He thought, determined, as he only held her tighter.
Finally, she looked up at him, her pale eyes staring bleakly into his own, and he just hugged her even tighter, his head bending down to rest on the top of hers.

"It's been so long" She whispered, the words on her lips repeating what had just went through Gary's mind. Surprised, he felt a blush creeping to his cheeks, as briefly, he wondered if she could read his mind. She was finally beginning to regain composure, and searching his face, her hair plastered back against her forehead, she looked so weak, so vulnerable right now. Gary helped her to her feet, and draped the blanket had had brought for her around her thin shoulders. At that moment, Dahlia came loping up to the spot, having fallen behind due to his extreme fatigue, looking relieved to have made it back to his trainer's side. Gary's Umbreon followed watchfully behind him.

"Vee!" Dahlia squealed happily, ecstatic to see Maddie and her old friend back together again. A smile burst across his furry brown face, and he leapt into Maddie's arms, rapidly beginning to lick her all over her face.A grin breaking out across her face, Maddie couldn't help but smile at the little Pokemon who was so obviously delighted to just be in her arms again. She ran a pale hand across his back for a moment, and then knelt to the ground to run the other one over the Umbreon's sleek, black fur. The Umbreon's eyes closed, and raising his elegant black tail, he rubbed his body up against Maddie's bare legs.

"Last time I saw you, you were just a little Eevee." She laughed. "You and Dahlia used to get into so much trouble together. Especially when you acted like each other right before I was about to go home, and you made me think that you were Dahlia, and Dahlia was you. Then I would bring you home with me, and when I finally realized you weren't Dahlia, it was too late. I would have to go all the way back to Pallet to get Dahlia, and that was how you tricked us into letting you spend more time together."

Maddie grinned, her hand still running fondly down the Umbreon's narrow back.

"You can't do that to us anymore, now can you?" She smiled, wiping at her nose, which had begun to run, her eyes straying to finally focus on Sparks, who was laying motionless in the mud. She wanted to kick herself for forgetting about the poor little Pichu. Immediately, Maddie snatched her up, holding her under her other arm as instantly, she began scanning the area around them.

"We have to get Sparks to a Pokemon Center! " She told Gary urgently, her body tense with worry as he nodded quickly in agreement.

"Of course." He agreed. "That comes first. Umbreon, lead the way!"

"Bre!" The Umbreon nodded fiercely in comprehension, arching his back and leaping forward in one graceful, fluent movement. Maddie and Gary followed closely behind.

OOC: Finally, my post is finished! Not sure if this RP is still active or not, but since we've already started, I think we should continue it. <3

Rose darted through the rain, the large droplets being carried roughly by the wind and soaking her from head to toe. Muffin, her Plusle, clung to her shoulder, being battered by the strong gale; she had tried to coax her into his pokeball, but her determined companion refused. Now, reluctantly letting Muffin stay put, she ran as quickly as she could to the nearest Poke Center.

A sigh of relief emanated from her parted lips as the dim lights of the Center came into view. She quickened her pace, practically jumping through the doors as they parted. The warmth held in the confines of the Poke Center immediately hit her, beginning to work its magic on her frozen body.

Water dripped from her, making puddles on the tiled floor as she walked tiredly to one of the booths outlining the windows. Muffin jumped from her shoulder, vigorously shaking her fur over the tabletop, afterwards attending to herself with a groom.

Slipping her backpack from her shoulders, Rose rummaged through its contents, finally pulling out a container of Pokepellets and a plastic dish. Muffin perked her ears at the sound of the dish hitting the table, squealing as her owner poured the brown pellets into it. Delighted, the Plusle ravenously dug in.

Rose leaned back into the cushioned back of the booth, thankful when a Chansey happily tottered over with some towels and Nurse Joy with a mug of hot cocoa and a cup of Pokecider for Muffin.

Wrapping a towel around her shoulders, she sipped at the cocoa, not fretting when the liquid burnt her tongue. Instead she procured two pokeballs from her bag and trotted over to the front counter and handed them to Nurse Joy for a quick heal. After the damaged was mended she ordered a meal from the Centers cafe and until it was ready she closed her eyes and relaxed.

She had recently traveled to Sootopolis City in Hoenn to challenge the gym leader, Wallace, to a battle. Sadly, she was beaten in a flash. She had underestimated the the gym leader and knew she had a good deal of training before she would have enough guts to another challenge; she frowned as she watched memories of the wretched battle replay themselves in her wary mind.

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted, her eyes fluttering open as she rolled her head to the side. Peering up at the television fastened to a concrete pillar in the middle of the Center, a news anchor was talking animatedly. Usually she wasn't interested in the news, but one word caught her attention.

"Shaymin..."
 
OOC: Ah! The RPG lives! I started thinking it was dead! Well, I'll get to posting.

IC:

The Olivine Pokemon Center was dark by now. Ayla still sat up on the small bed that served her for just this one night, unable to bring herself into a peaceful sleep, unlike Ginger, who purred in perfect comfort by her side. The tiny cat Pokemon was curled into a tight ball, fast asleep and probably dreaming of forests, mice, balls of yarn, or other things of the sort. Oh, how pleasant it would be to live like a Meowth, with such a mindset that comfort and relaxation came before all else? But of course, Ayla had been entranced by the night's news report, and now all she could think about was Shaymin.

Shaymin... A legendary Pokemon. An embodiment of nature, so rare that only one could be found on the planet. While Ayla was usually a very calm person, this excited her. To see such a being... To have an actual encounter with it, even for merely a second or two... The thought was too much to simply push aside. While she was no greedy enough to try and capture such a magnificent Pokemon, she was more than eager to try to see it. Besides, what better did she have to do?

Good thing Olivine is a port town, she thought with rising hopes, If we could catch a ship to Sinnoh, there might be a chance...

Then again, could Ayla really afford a trip to another region? Since she rarely battled, she hardly ever had enough money to feed herself and her Pokemon. But that didn't mean she couldn't find a way onto whatever ship she found though...

OOC: I hope this is enough. I'm kind of in a rush to get finished with the computer here...
 
"Alright , now use bubblebeam together with wing attack." Tyson shouted as Piplup followed his orders without problem. The bubbles filled the air and then Piplup jumped and as her wings turned white she began to smash the bubbles. The bubbles popped and started to make little sprinkles around Piplup. "Pip" said the Piplup now shining from the sprinkles hitting her in just the right light. Tyson praised her and then turned to Cacnea. Cacnea was ready to perform his moves, but soon Tyson changed ideas. "I think it would be better if you were my battle stage pokemon." Cacnea fell to the ground in depression, because he wanted to show off, then he got back on his feet and agreed. As Tyson continued their training a trainer smashed into him. Instead of apologizing the trainer continued in a rush and pushed Tyson out of the way. Soon more trainers stampeded over him. Tyson finally got up and got some answers. The young girl he stopped explained that trainers had gone to Sinnoh in hopes of catching a legendary pokemon. The girl rushed off and Tyson continued to look confused. He didn't really think that legendary pokemon belonged in contest. So he informed his team that they wouldn't be going on that stupid chase. As Tyson said that another stampede of trainers ran over him and soon they were dragging him to the boat to Sinnoh. Piplup and Cacnea looked at their trainer and followed him even though he wasn't awake.

Yosami glanced at his Rolex. It was roughly twenty to seven, which meant that he should've been home about forty minutes beforehand. Not that he cared. It wasn't like his guardian was going to care about a curfew that he made to pretend there was some sort of discipline within the household. Yosami liked George Cantwell, who was practically his entire family since he ran away from Goldenrod and managed to reach Viridian. At first Yosami had no clue as to how he was going to acquire food or shelter and it soon became apparent to the young boy that living on the streets was nowhere near the same as it is on television, which the young boy found out was very misleading in real life situations. Lucky for the Egyptian child, he happened to be sleeping one night in a Pokèmon Center that Mister Cantwell had to have his Pokèmon healed in. Yosami can still recall the man asking him if he was a trainer competing for a Gym Badge in Viridian Gym and the boy replying that he wasn't lucky enough to be privileged with that sort of lifestyle. Yosami was never sure, but he assumed that the nurse behind the counter explained to Cantwell that he had been sleeping in the Pokèmon Center for the past few days and was probably homeless. The man made an impulsive decision to give the boy a home that night.

Yosami sighed and nodded his head towards his Growlithe. The red dog had been sitting obediently on the ground knowing a bone while he waited for his trainer to figure out what he was going to do. The boy was about to call his Pokèmon and get him to return to his Pokè Ball when a sudden news report drew his attention away from the canine. Yosami disliked the Pokèmon Center's television, it was too small and old fashioned, but it was better than his guardian's house, which didn't have one, as he claimed it rotted brains of both the young and the old.

"Hello, this is Katherine Bynes reporting live from Sinnoh, where the Legendary Pokèmon, Shaymin, has supposedly been found." Yosami preferred to watch Sky News over any other news channel, but he supposed that CNN was going to have to do. "If this is true, it opens up a whole new range of possibilities in regards to humans and their belief in Legendary Pokèmon. Apparently, someone was walking through a meadow and tripped over what she originally thought was a piece of rock or a Geodude. It wasn't until she got back up to her feet did she see the Pokèmon resembling a hedgehog. When she realised that it might be an undiscovered Pokèmon, or, better yet, Shaymin, she tried to catch it. The Shaymin used Solar Beam and the land was destroyed. The person, now identified as Peggy Smith, whipped out her mobile phone and called a friend of hers, who then alerted the nearest police station. At first they thought it was someone ridiculing them but they decided to believe the caller after they recognised the distress in his voice." Katherine stopped and pointed at a piece of land which resembled a crater that is normally made by a meteor. "When the police arrived on the scene, Miss Smith was knocked out and at the bottom of the crater, which must have been made by Shaymin's Solar Beam attack. They proceeded to call up the elite four and various Pokèmon professors, to ask how the situation should be treated and whether or not they should attempt capturing the Legendary Pokèmon." The reporter stopped, smiled at the camera and said, "That's all from me, expect CNN to return to this soon, for now though, back to the studio."

The camera blanked out. Yosami sat in silence as the words sunk into him. He couldn't answer a question that had been nagging him all the time during the news report; how come there was no video footage of Shaymin?

The next two stories were also interesting; The President of Kanto, April Maywah, had been shot dead and one of the most famous Pokèmon professors on the planet, Professor Elm, had been reported missing. Yosami had always been a great fan of conspiracy theories and was pretty certain that the three stories were connected in some way. His eyes darted from the television screen to his Growlithe and then he closed his eyelids over them. "I've managed to travel from Goldenrod City to Viridian City without that much trouble. I doubt travelling to Sinnoh would be that hard either." He thought for a few minutes. "Surely all of the stories are connected, surely the murders and the disappearances are because of the group that can supposedly capture any legendary it wants, which adds up to Shaymin. Why am I the only one that can see this?" He stopped and shook his head. "Or am I just deluded?"
