History:

Spoiler:

Thousands of years ago, a fierce war raged between humans and Pokémon, a war that threatened to tear apart the land and destroy the two species beyond the point of return. The cost was high, many lives were lost, and both humans and Pokémon lived in a constant state of suspicion, misery and fear. However, there came a time when both humans and Pokémon had had their fill of war, and desired to live in peace with each other once more.



A group of humans, an elder from each of the 6 regions of Kanto, The Sevii Islands, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova joined forces, organising themselves into the Human Council. The High Priest of the council, one of the Priests at the Burnt Tower in Johto, travelled to Mt. Coronet, and there Arceus deigned to meet him. Arceus had been watching the torment of war on the land from high above Spear Pillar and was saddened by it. He gathered together 5 Pokémon to represent all types – Fire, Water and Ice, Earth (representing grass/bug/ground/fighting and normal types), Thunder and Flying, Supernatural and Dragon Pokémon and organised them into the first Pokémon Council.

The Human Council and the Pokémon Council met atop Spear Pillar, and there the treaty of Mt. Coronet was agreed. The treaty specified that:

• Humans would protect Pokémon habitats.

• Pokémon would respect human settlements.

• Both humans and Pokémon would be freely allowed sufficient resources to survive.

• Neither shall harm the other.

This treaty was sealed by an enchantment, channelled by the High Priest and powered by Arceus to bind all Humans and Pokémon to the treaty. However, this enchantment did not just bind the two species to the treaty, but also to one another. Powers of communication were gained by Pokémon, and humans found that they could train Pokémon, and harness their powers. The Human council and the Pokémon council agreed to bind themselves to each other, to allow smoother communication and enforce the Treaty as easily as possible. For many years, the treaty was respected, and Humans and Pokémon lived alongside each other in peace.

Plot:

Spoiler:

There are stirrings of unrest across the regions, and a climate of unease and mistrust is growing between Humans and Pokémon. It has been thousands of years since the Treaty of Mt. Coronet was agreed, and there are those who flout the agreement, most notably the group of Humans organised as Team Revolution. Team Revolution have unsettled the balance and the peace between humans and Pokémon, actively trying to plunge the world back into the ancient war that had come so close to destroying the land.

The Leader of Team Revolution envisions a world where Humans reign supreme, where Pokémon are used only as tools for human gain; a world without compassion, companionship or co-operation. Under the command of the Leader, Team Revolution have begun attempting to cleanse 'unworthy' Pokémon species, and have already killed many thousands of innocent bug and water Pokémon, picking off the 'weakest' and kidnapping the 'strongest' for experimentation at their Saffron City stronghold. They have stormed through all regions, destroying Pokémon habitats and separating Pokémon and trainers, taking Humans who resisted them to 'internment' camps spread throughout top-secret locations among the regions. Of course, Team Revolution would not dream of taking any responsibility or openly stating the intent of their actions- to Humans they claim that the Pokémon are revolting, to Pokémon they stress that the Humans are attempting to spread their settlements through Pokémon habitats.

There are those, however, who resist. The descendents of the Human and Pokémon councils have been visited by Arceus in dreams, as he has been watching the Earth from on high and hopes to protect the Treaty of Mt. Coronet. It is time to once more journey to the summit of Spear Pillar, ready to defeat Team Revolution and return the world to peace.

Roleplay positions and Pokemon for the Human Council ( I will update as people post their SU sheets, so please don't be disheartened if you apply for the same role as someone else only to find it has already been taken - I will update as quickly as possible.

Kanto – Earth

Sevii Islands – Water and Ice *Taken by SelenaStar*


Johto (Will also be the High Priest from Ecruteak City) – Dragon

Hoenn – Fire

Sinnoh – Supernatural

Unova – Thunder and Flying

Please remember that your Pokémon are members of the Pokémon council – I will be expecting a degree of Pokémon communication, even if you don't primarily roleplay as your Pokémon. Seeing as your Pokémon are members of the Pokémon council, Legendary Pokémon are allowed from the following list, ONE per player. I would appreciate it if you could keep it appropriate to your region type, for example, Sinnoh choosing from Supernatural, but if you have a legendary you'd really like to use but doesn't appear in your category, just mention in the OOC thread and I'll consider your request :

Earth – Celebi; Groudon; Regirock; Registeel; Regigigas; Shaymin; Terrakion; Cobalion; Virizion; Landorus

Other than these pokemon, your other 5 pokemon can be of any type you wish. Please have at least 1 or 2 first or second stage pokemon in your party, and these must be below level 30. No pokemon can be above level 60 - please do not always use your Legendary pokemon (if you choose to use one) in every single battle/post. Let's have some variety!!

[Aura.Lucario]

I would like to reserve a spot please :) this looks promising! And it has Commanders and Generals too eh? xD

The cost was high, many lives were lost, and both humans and Pokémon lived in a constant state of suspicion, misery and fear. However, there came a time when both humans and Pokémon had had their fill of war, and desired to live in peace with each other once more.

When I read this i was like 'omg, continuation of my War RP?!' xD

lol joking. anyways, I've used 20 mins and i still haven't decided my legendary...hm...

20 mins later..

okay i'll pick Darkrai in the Sinnoh Region. :)

 

[Spanner226]

May I reserve a spot as well?

T_T I was going to add Hydreigon in my team, though I was a tad saddened when I realized my pokemon's levels couldn't exceed level 60(even though Hydreigon is a 2nd stage pokemon). Well, I guess I can't file a legitimate complaint, so I'll just stick with Zweilous for now.

EDIT: Actually, I take that back. Don't reserve a spot for me.

 

[Townes]

Hey, Selena, is it ok if I do an introductory post, just so people get a feel for my overall RP style and functions?

 

[SelenaStar]

@aura.lucario - ha!!! Not at all I like to think - it's more of a pokemon + humans vs. Team Revolution with a nice bit of legend and backstory :D (mainly because I wanted Arceus in there somewhere pahaha XD )

But anywhoos, yep, I've reserved Sinnoh and Darkrai for you.

@Townes: Yes, that isn't a problem. If you could put it on the main thread that'd be great - I think that's much more active than this thread.

 

[Legend]

Just to make sure, the commander in Team Revolution is like second-in-command-ish, right? I picked it because Commander Raymond sounds cool, not because I knew what position it was lol.

 

[CyBeastSaber]

@Raikiri
*facepalms* xDDDDD

Anyways..... I finished my SU... >.>; I'm juggling between a good side and a bad side... i feel like it's gonna a bit of a problem.

 

[.Fenris]

This is cool. Can I do a International Police agent who takes an interest in the legends around the Council but not actually part of the Council, serving as somewhat of a mediator?

 

[CyBeastSaber]

@Raikiri
Nice way to set me up huh.... xDDD I'll try to get something in ASAP.

 

[Legend]

Just doing my job as a fellow Team Revolution member. Plus Townes set me up, may as well make it a set-up train.

 

[CyBeastSaber]

Heh. Got that right! *thumbsup* Oh noes.... Got to make an entry. X.X

 

[Nideous]

Um... Do we actually even have a Hoenn elder? Because I haven't seen anyone sign up for that spot yet. Not here or on the IC thread...

 

[Megaman765]

HELLOOOO! Sorry it took so long! But here it is!

Name: Kyle

Region: Hoenn

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: Kyle's height is about 6'1 and comes with a black metro haircut. Wears a dark blue spring jacket with a black T shirt underneath it, along with long gray jeans and gray sneakers. His eyes are a bright blue color. He keeps his hair brushed flat as often as he can and takes good care not to mess it up, not that he really cares if it does or not.

Personality: Kyle is usually laid back, lazy, and doesn't really believe alot of the legends told to him. He considers them boring stories and often does his old activities to completely ignore somebody when he is being reminded of the tales of old. He knows the story of the treaty that allowed Pokemon and humans to live together in harmony but found that to be ridiculous as well. He figured Pokemon and humans had a mind of their own to make that decision their selves, that it was the more logical way of doing things. High Council? Psshhh.

He usually keeps calm about many situations unless its extremely serious and will do his best to find the solution if he's feeling up to it. He simply does not like doing work of any sort. Battles on the other hand are like a drug to him. Despite training being a chore itself, its a fun chore that allows him to bond with his pokemon and understand them more for upcoming challenges. When in battle, he feels at peace and will refuse to hold back for any reason.

Even though he is a lazy slob, Kyle is still a nice guy to be around. Though he tends to make smart ass comments every so often when in disagreement, but nonetheless, He'll be nice as long as your nice to him.

History: Kyle in Fallabor Town. He didn't really like staying around there much and was eager to go out on a journey himself. Being a Farm community though, Mark found himself doing alot of work by himself with the assistance of a male Kirlia that he had owned. This Kirlia was more of a fighter then anything and was eager to become a Gallade, thus it wore a necklace with an everstone on it. In his teen years, Kyle parents often told him stories about Sinnoh, the Sevii islands, some council... Stories about a treaty between pokemon and humans. Kyle never listened to them though. He shrugged them off as boring stories that were most likely fairy tales.

Eventually Kyle head off to go on a small trip around Hoenn with his Kirlia. His parents felt that he needed this time to really see how the world is like away from home. Facing several battles with various trainers, accepting his wins and defeats, He came across a merchant that had come from the Sinnoh region. He had been selling the very stone needed to evolve his Kirlia, Ryder. Kyle willingly accepted the deal and successfully evolved his Kirlia into a Gallade. His win/lose ratio took a change for the better afterwards.

One day, Kyle encountered a Runaway Sableye that was in hiding. It wasn't owned by a trainer, but seemed mature enough to have been owned by one previously. It didn't show off any wild behavior or any signs of hostility but did follow Kyle around for quite a long time, often keeping out of sight. Eventually, Kyle took notice of this and offered a place in his team for the Sableye. It willingly accepted the offer and joined Kyle's little Party. The Sableye was named Snype.

Kyle eventually returned from his trip, facing several battles but not challenging the gyms. He wasn't interested in going for the fame of being a champion. One night though he had a dream... A cheerful voice was talking to him.

"Hey! You! Whatcha dooooiinnn?" It asked.

"Trying to have a dream. The heck are you supposed to be?" Kyle asked the figure.

"Aw comon you don't know me? I figured your folks must have mentioned little ol me in their stories!" It responded.

"...Nope. Don't think they described you." Kyle replied back. The figure revealed itself to be a Pokemon speaking to him telepathically. Kyle then woke up and noticed an extremely unfamiliar pokemon was standing on his bed. It had big bright blue eyes, and seemed like some Red... animal thing... he wasn't sure how to describe it but it was out of the ordinary.

"Victini! Pleased to meetcha! I'm known as the victory pokemon to most folk. Anyways, We need your help. Have you heard of Team revolution?" Victini asked. Kyle shrugged. "Must not have made it up here yet... Team revolution is a group of people that are trying to separate Pokemon and Humans in an extremely violent fashion! They're killed innocent pokemon, taken humans to various camps around the world, So many indescribable stuff! You are to be a part of the council and keep the treaty in order.."

While kyle didn't understand everything, This Team revolution buisness sounded serious. He didn't believe much in the whole council junk but he was willing to stop Team Revolution. This group was obviously up to no good at all. Mark willingly accepted to go along with Victini.


Pokemon:

Victini: Level 60
Victini is more of a guardian to Kyle then anything and will not battle unless needed to. It is willing to help in various situations though due to its ability to produce infinite energy however will not take kindly to this ability being abused. Victini is an extremely cheerful and cocky pokemon and enjoys having conversation with other kinds of Pokemon. Even with such important stats as a legendary, It loves to pull pranks using its many abilities, such as turning invisible and being able to fly with its wing like tails.
Moves:V-Create, Zen Headbutt, Reversal, Protect


Sableye (Snype) : Level 48
One of Kyle's closest partners. He's owned a Sableye for about as long as he could remember. It dosn't have the strength of his other pokemon but his cunning and wit makes him very hard to touch. In battle he's unpredictable and often dosn't need Kyle to tell him what moves to do in order to win. Funny enough, He gets along with Victini very well.
Moves: Shadow Sneak, Sucker Punch, Detect, Power Gem

Gallade (Ryder): Level 50
The more mature one all of Mark's Pokemon. He'll usually try to calme down Snype and victini when they get out of hand. He gets along with Snype fine but often dosn't approve of alot of his actions. Gallade is often the voice of reason. He's owned this pokemon ever since it was a Ralts.
Moves: Psycho Cut, Teleport, Leaf Blade, Brick Break

I shall make my appearence on your mark Selena!

 

[SelenaStar]

Baaaa bad Sel!! I totally forgot about this ooc thread....ummm right.

@Fenris - that sounds really cool - could you please put together an su for me so I can figure if the character would work? I don't see a problem with it at this stage :)

@raikiri - I agree, Commander Raymond does sound mondo cool! I envisaged the set up that way, but however you team revolution guys want to work it - you have pretty much full plotline/organisational autonomy in this rp as far as I am concerned!!! :)

@megaman - on your marks...get set...go!!! :) (basically...post your opener as soon as you can pahahaha)

 

[CyBeastSaber]

ACK.... was out sick... but now im back. I'll get on to posting.

 

[SelenaStar]

Hi all!

So, I was thinking that the RP seems to have stalled somewhat, so I figured as GM I'd have a think and put together some possible directions.

I think part of the problem - a major part for myself, as I identified - is that the Pokemon Council hasn't really had much of a chance to do any kind of exploration of themselves. As soon as they met they were launched into a battle - which was a fantastic way to start the RP, but it did seem to bring everything to an abrupt end when the battle was over. I'd like to leave Team Revolution to Townes, Raikiri and CyBeastSaber largely, but I think that we need to work out plot points together in the OOC thread more than just working out our own ideas, posting them in the IC thread and then working it out from there.

So! Let's begin! :)

For the Pokemon Council, I was thinking:
We leave Spear Pillar after it has been stabilised by Regigigas. Needing to work out our roles both inside the Council and of the Council as a whole in the world, we need to find somewhere within Sinnoh where we can meet - public enough so that TR can't launch an attack in broad daylight, but removed enough so we aren't questioned or overheard too much.

If we try a major city first - for example Oreburgh - then we could hear about the News Report - this is also a major point for us to consider when we talk. We could also overhear some more rumours about pokemon/human fights breaking out quite randomly without any apparent provokation - it could turn out that this is as a result of the news report, a typical move used by Team Revolution to sew conflict between Pokemon and Humans.

The Council now needs to figure out a strategy to deal with this, whilst also remaining relatively underground until they can turn the tide in their favour so they are not attacked by people who have heard the inflammatory news reports.

That's a general idea I've had...any expansions? TR interventions? I think the Council does need some time free from TR though to just lay the foundations.

 

[Nideous]

I think the problem is that we seem to have lost most of the council. I've been waiting for someone else to post about my idea of infultrating TR, but no one else has gotten to it yet. And I like the sound of those ideas. They sound like fun things to deal with.

 

[Legend]

Since Townes has been out for a while, I have taken control (obviously) and had not planned to make a direct attack at you guys for a while so go ahead and do that. I actually wanted you guys to hear the report as I thought it would get you guys going while also building drama.

 

[SelenaStar]

@nideous - I know we lost aura Lucario but I don't know
Where others have gotten to - I will send out some PMs/VMs and get chasing.

 

[Almondeyes]

Okay, that sounds fine. I didn't post since I had no idea of what I can post. I'm still in, obviously; and I'll wait to post until someone else does xD
