What if They Were Real? Part 2​

How it was when it began

Spoiler:

Plot: In 1963 the world changed forever. Reports came all over the world of creatures breathing fire, creating blizzards, displaying psychic ability, and other strange feats, by 1969 these creatures were everywhere. Humanity had to learn to adapt to these strange creatures, and indeed they did, and in the 1970's humanity created a wonder of technology, a device used to capture and control the strange monsters that humans feared so much, the device could capture the creatures and tame them, and it could even fit in a person's pocket. For this reason it was named the pocket ball or pokeball for short, and the strange creatures were named pokemon. Now it was common place for people to keep pokemon as pets, after all, they could understand human speech and truly loved their masters. Humans all over the world made a sport of battling these pokemon, it was not regarded like **** fighting because the pokemon actually seemed to enjoy it. All in all the world now welcomed these pokemon, but opposing view points create problems. Two groups formed with radically different views on pokemon, team plasma, a far left radical group based on the Knights templer that fought and still fights for for pokemon liberation, they believe that humans treat pokemon like slaves and cattle even though pokemon are as smart as humans, they hate how humans hunt pokemon and turn them into battle slaves even so, team plasma uses pokemon to do their bidding. The other group is a far right radical group called the human alliance, they believe that pokemon are a threat to humanity, they see pokemon like Palkia and Dialga that can control time and space, and other pokemon like metagross and Alakazam that are smarter than humans, and they are afraid of humans being replaced by pokemon, even so they also use pokemon to do their bidding. Both groups have well intent.

How it is now…

Spoiler:

A lot of things have happened since this all began. A third team has arisen, Legion, led by a mysterious man known only as MiB, the man in black. The most recent huge event is marked in the files of the Human Alliance as the Jirachi incident. Basically, it was found out that the wish Pokemon, Jirachi, was about to awaken from its thousand year slumber. Legion, The Human Alliance, and Team Plasma decided to put their issues aside and team up against the heroes… and John. The heroes… and John all tracked down Jirachi for their own reasons. John Israel Mcfarline wanted to cure his soon to be wife Yasumi of her neurological disease brought on by an injection of Psychic type Pokemon cells. John wanted to kill every man, woman, and child ever involved with the Human Alliance. And Earl wanted to take the love of his life Yasumi, from Israel. In the end the man who got his wish was the mysterious man only known as Malackai. Malackai wished to release his dark master from the distortion world. His dark master Giratina was released and fought MiB, Tydus Mcfarline, and William Earl Stevens while Israel and John fought Malackai. In the end John and Israel were able to seemingly kill Malackai, and seal Giratina back in the distortion world. However William Earl Stevens took a turn for the dark side and joined Legion. Other heroes, Silver and Jake infiltrated the base of Team Plasma and caused some hell. They now work to undermine Team Plasma.

Now, ever since Tydus Mcfarline, the leader of the Human Alliance saw the world destroying power of Giratina, he's been interested in one thing, harnessing that power himself. Mordecai, the leader of Team Plasma, sets his sights on something new, an ancient artifact that unlocks the power of the ultimate Pokemon. And MiB… who knows what he's planning.

[Nideous]

I found my list of pokemon and badges. I'm going to post them here, because this doesn't have an OOC thread yet. I'm also going to assume that because John was mentioned by name that he's still a major player? Sweetness. ^_^ Here's my updated SU:

Spoiler:

John

Name: John Brooks

Appearance: John is a sixteen year old boy, with dark red hair that he keeps short cut and spikey. His dark grey eyes hold a hint of pain, and a lot of anger in them. He generally wears a dark red T-shirt, and a pair of black jeans. He is a little on the short side, especially compared with the other trainers he knew, who were all older than he was. He wears a black bag on his back with his Pokegear inside of it, and has his six pokeballs set on his waist. He is almost never seen without his Zorua, Shadow, who follows him like a puppy. His face would be considered handsome, if he didn't have a perpetual scowl on it. He has three scars on his left cheek, and numerous cuts on his arms and torso.

Gender: Male

Age: While he was fifteen at the start of the last one, he has had a birthday (Just after the Jirachi incident.) making him 16 now.

Bio: John was raised in New York City, however he was not born there at all. He is the clone of the leader of the HA, though he does not know it right now. Throughout his life, he was abused, and this has begun to show, as he sometimes has nightmares about it. His father was a drunk and a loser who joined the HA. His mother died when he was ten, and his older brother Jake ran away to join Team Plasma. He himself dealt with it his own way by venting his anger and pain onto others, until he caught Cinder. The little Charmander changed his life, and he began dedicating himself to growing stronger so that he could crush the HA and get his revenge. Shortly before his 16th birthday, he found a young Oshawott that was being attacked by two members of the HA, and jumped in to save it. When he did, he ran away and began his journey. After a long series of adventures, he met up with Earl, who somehow broke through his shell and became his only human friend. During this time, he also met Israel, the man that would become his rival, as well as his brother, in a manner of speaking. He got involved in the Jirachi incident, shoosing to abandon the people that would become his friends for the chance to get his wish. He got into a fierce battle with Malakai and nearly died, were it not for the timely intervention of Israel. He and Israel pursued Malakai into the Distortion World and battled him, seeming to strand him there. They barely managed to escape, where he met Seven, a mysterious young girl that looked an awful lot like him and had the power of telekinesis, as well as her brother, Six. During the fighting, Six brought John and Seven to Hawaii, but not before imparting with some hard truths to Israel. Six died shortly afterwards, and Seven and John set out on the trail to find out the truth about themselves, as well as a way to destroy the HA once and for all. When the story left off, John had arrived safely at the Grass Gym in North Carolina, and was preparing to challenge it.

Personality: John is a very aggressive and tempermental person. He is rash and hotheaded, and often gets himself into fights. He is completely obsessed with gaining power, and doesn't care what he has to do to get it. He is outspoken with his opinions, and downright unhelpful when he wants to be. He only cares for himself, his pokemon, and his friend, though he acts like he doesn't care about anything. He feels a little responsible for Seven now, and would protect her with his life. However, he is still rude and abrasive, even to her. He has turned a bit surly and depressed, almost as if he's starting to lose his hope and drive to fight, but he is still a force to be reckoned with.

[aspie3000]

Name: John Israel Mcfarline

Appearance:

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Bio: John Israel Mcfarline was born the son of the legendary Pokemon league champion Tydus Mcfarline. Growing up with aspergers syndrome he was a loner who was targeted by the local bullies. They saw him as being a spoiled punk who thought he could act different just because of his father. Because of this Israel grew up to become cynical about the world seeing it in black and white terms and dubbing the entirety of mankind evil. Partially because of this cynicism, and partially because he took after his father he gained the ability to trash talk with the best of them. Then one day mysteriously, his father died. Christian was saddened but decided that it was best to honor his father's legacy by winning the world championship.

Since then he's grown up a little, and has shown himself to be a hero of his own unique type. He along with John and Earl are public enemy number one of most of the evil groups. Israel even managed to convert an attractive Japanese chick from the Human Alliance to the side of good and stole her heart. Unfortunately all is not well in paradise. The girl, Yasumi Tanaka, is suffering from a severe neurological disease caused when Otto Von Krueger of the Human Alliance injected her with psychic cells as a part of a terrible experiment. She will die if Israel doesn't soon find a cure.

Personality: Brash, cocky, arrogant, cruel, quick with the tongue. All of these things describe Israel. People who walk away from a fight with Tydus Mcfarline's son usually say two things. "That was one tough SOB," and, "dang my feelings are hurt." Israel can trash talk with the best of them and fights even harder. He is his father's son in that he is a master strategist in a Pokemon battle. He takes full advantage of a Pokemon's moves and abilities coming up with such strategies as the Surf barrier, and the telepathic connection. His morality is black and white in nature believing an action to be either morally acceptable or evil. He also believes in situational black and white. For example, killing an innocent person just because you can is considered evil in his eyes, but killing an innocent to save five hundred innocent is completely moral. He can also be kind of a sadist. That part of him hasn't come out yet but it will. Now, you take this guy Israel, and you have him meet his even darker rival (and brother unbeknownst to him) John ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE! Of course you'll see that in due time.

Israel's Badges: Fighting, Ground, Bug, Ice

Narration on where you are now: Hello, my name is John Israel Mcfarline. You probably remember me from such glorious kickings of homosexual arse such as when I beat John Brooks to a pulp in New York city. Or the various Gym leaders I made look like amateurs. Or, and this is my favorite, when I caused that homeless Santa Claus with the chain smoking voice, Malackai I think, to fall into the eternal abyss of the distortion world. No, that's not my favorite. My favorite was when I saved the planet by wishing on a star that Malackai's master, the giant black phallus looking thing, would go back to Hell where it belongs. So as you've probably guessed I'm awesome, or at least better than you. As for where I am right now, I'll tell you. Right now i'm at the end of my forth Gym battle. Riley has fought well, for a lowly Gym leader but he's done for. Still, what's really on my mind is finding a cure for that girl I'm going to be hitched with, Yasumi Tanaka. This is the first time I've really loved anyone and I'll be damned if I'm going to lose her to Hitler's butt buddy. I swear, if Yasumi dies, I"M GOING TO KILL OTTO VON KRUEGER!!! Which reminds me, I made a promise to MiB back in the Arctic... I'm going to kill him too. In fact I'll just kill the Gentleman and that commie Mordecai too. Bye, I have things to do, and people to kill.

Oh I would like to join, Ill have my SU soon.

 

[aspie3000]

[Game Over1375]

Spoiler:

Name: William "Earl" Stevens, Jr.

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Occupation: Trainer, Undercover Legion Member, Apprentice to MiB

Appearence: Earl was pretty small when he was younger, but now he is one tall dude. He stands at 6'4" and is built like a college football linebacker. This didn't come natural for him, as it tooks years for him to make his body like this. His whitish-blonde hair is very long, coming down below William's shoulders. There is also one thing very odd about his hair. In some areas, it appears fairly curly, while in other areas it is completely straight. No matter what Earl tries to do, it always ends up like that. His hair is usually kept out of his face, but it seems to get in front of his face on numerous occasions.

Earl's usual attire consists of a black t-shirt and blue jeans with old and worn out black leather working boots, which suit him well with his lightly-tanned skin. Aviator sunglasses can be seen over his eyes on sunny days. On cold days, he wears a black trench coat over his usual outfit. Let's not forget that nice looking black fedora hat which can be seen on Earl's head nearly any day. Oh, and he is usually seen carrying around a suitcase which holds various things, including his Pokemon's Pokeballs.

Bio: William "Earl" Stevens, Jr. was born and raised in the town of New Orleans, Louisiana, as one could guess by his accent, which has a bit of a southern twang mixed in with perfect French that Earl throws in every now and then. Now, Earl hasn't had an easy childhood. You see, Earl's father, the original William Earl Stevens, left Earl and his mother shortly after Earl was born. For whatever reason, Earl and his mother never found out. Without a father, Earl's only father-figure growing up was his grandfather, who was a very well-educated man, as well as a former Pokemon League Champion of France. Once he saw Earl's ability to learn, Pops homeschooled Earl from the age of five all the way until Earl was sixteen. Once Earl was done with home school, he took his GED test and scored so high it was said he was in the top one percent of people who take it. He also scored a 29 on his ACT. At this point, Earl could go to any college in the USA he wanted to, but he instead decided to travel the world.

During Earl's travels, he came upon a Totodile that was trying to fight off two fully grown Usaring. Now, while Earl knew the Totodile wouldn't stand a chance, he admired the little fella's bravery and rescued him. Not too long after that, Earl began training the Totodile, who Earl had named Leonidas. During their travels, Earl came across a Spiritomb that had been terrorizing a town. Using his intellect and Leonidas' abilities, Earl captured the Spiritomb and named him Judas. Soon after that, Earl found a Makuhita that acted a lot like Leonidas. He was powerful and very brave, but he seemed to be rather...stupid. Add to the fact he was battling a Kadabra, and Earl sent his Leonidas after the Kadabra, who ran off upon seeing the small, but very brave, Pokemon baring his fangs at it. The Makuhita, impressed with Leonidas, joined Earl's team soon afterwards.

Soon after, Earl met John Brooks and MiB, as well as Israel Mcfarline. He was also reintroduced to Yasumi, his childhood love, who is now engaged to Israel. Earl soon became involved in the affairs of all three evil teams, originally being an enemy to all three until the Jirachi incident. He was the last one standing against Giratina, having witnessed the mighty power of the Anti-Matter Pokemon firsthand. Thanks to his, Israel's, and John's efforts, they were able to send Giratina back to the Distortion World. Soon after, Israel offered Earl to travel with him, so they could find a cure for Yasumi faster. Earl quickly denied him and soon joined alongside MiB, believing that Legion had all the right answers. He has quickly climbed the ranks of the organization, and it is believed by many inside Legion he is now MiB's apprentice. Of course, only members of Legion know that. To everyone else, Earl is just a trainer wishing to now become the Pokemon League Champion of the United States of America, which is indeed one of his three goals and the only one known to everyone. The second goal is cure Yasumi. Third? Help Legion destroy the other two organizations and set up a paradise where humans and Pokemon live in harmony.

Personality: Earl is a very calm individual who likes to keep things calm and cool. He is very laid back, which has made him many friends. Some people think he is lazy though. This is not the case, however. You will find no one who is more focused in any situation. This guy was a scholar before he became a trainer, and he knows that in order to do your best, you have to have a cool head. That is what he goes by. This guy does have a temper though. If you aggravate him, ask him to do to many things at once, hurt Pokemon, or make fun of his hair, get ready to get your butt kicked from one place to another. When he is calm, he is a people person. When he is mad, get away from him and don't look back.

Along with the above qualities, Earl also has a reputation of being a southern gentleman. He firmly believes that one should be chilvarous and well-mannered. He is also a bit of a fast learner. There is something else though. Earl, at times, has shown to lack empathy and sympathy... Sometimes even emotion. Nowadays, this trait is being shown more and more, and he now shows a deep, DEEP, hatred towards both the Human Alliance, Team Plasma, and one Israel Mcfarline, although he is willing to work with Israel on matters regarding Yasumi. He shows loyalty to only Legion and John Brooks, who he considers a close friend and rival. He cares deeply for Yasumi, the girl he has loved since he was young.

Pokemon Personalities: All of Earl's Pokemon seem to follow a code of honor that Earl has trained into them, especially Leonidas, who has been with Earl the longest. Leonidas, like the great Spartan king whom he is named after, has shown he is a very brave and intelligent warrior who will stand strong no matter the odds stacked against him. No matter what is put in front of him, he will try to overcome it one way or another. Judas is very similiar in several ways, except that he prefers to outsmart his opponents rather than attacking directly. Brutus... Well, Brutus is a bit odd. He is very much like Leonidas, but he often times shows that he lacks the intelligence Leonidas has. It is for this reason that Brutus looks up to Leonidas, even though he is much, MUCH stronger than him, however there seems to be a rivalry happening between Leonidas and Brutus. Joan the Yanmega is the quiet and shy member of the group, and she usually keeps to herself. Every now and then though, she can be seen conversing with Judas. Mary the Gabite is a Pokemon that has next to no patience, although Earl is trying to work with her on that. Hera the Ferrothorn is the defensive tank of Earl's team. Outside of battle, she is very relaxed, just hanging around. Izanami, like Joan, prefers to keep to herself. However, she talks to none of Earl's other Pokemon. She does have a connection to Earl though, and can be seen conversing with him.

Other Notes: Most of the time, one can see Leonidas out of his Pokeball and walking beside Earl. The only times the Feraligatr is in his Pokeball is when Earl believes he should be, like say a meeting with important individuals and cetain households/ businesses where Pokemon are seen as pest and/or tools and nothing more, or even where the area is just too small for Leonidas. Izanami also does this, being usually seen coiled around Earl's body or his right arm.

Badges: Ground, Fighting, Rock

Narration on Where You Are Now: What's up playa? Name's Earl. As many of you might remember, I joined up with Legion. Now, the public doesn't know this. My mission? I can't tell you that. What I can tell you is that MiB has possession of the three Color Orbs of legend, and he now controls Groudon. My job involves those Orbs, so remember that as we go along. During this mission of mine, I am allowed to continue my goal of becoming the Pokemon League Champion. I was able to get the Fighting Badge, as well as the Rock Badge, right under everyone's radar. Right now, I'm here in Chimney Rock, NC, waiting to take on the Gym Leader here. Hopefully catch some new Pokemon too. Maybe I'll run into John soon... We gotta battle again.

Hey everybody! Am I late to the party?

 

[aspie3000]

You're accepted Game. Actually, you know what? Let's start! People are still free to sign up but Shiny isn't going to show up for a week. He's feeling really down. So as of right now, we can start and SU's are still open.

 

[ShinyDiamond]

Class: Trainer

Name: Silver Asakura

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Appearance: Silver's hair is mid-length & blond, natural blond. He wears a blue V-neck shirt with white sleeves. It's very comfortable. A logo is on his shirt, it says Fox in neon green. He wears normal blue pants but has a small chain dangling from his pocket. It's a secret what the pendant is. He wears a belt that can hold six Pokeballs & a case to put badges in. Silver also has a backpack to carry stuff inside. Hey, every trainer does. He lastly wears Nike shoes with the colors black, grey & light green stripes.

Bio: You can call Silver an expert in Pokemon Battles, but to him, he's just someone who has fun with it. Silver only found out about Pokemon when he was 4. He thought they were toys before then. Now, he spends most of his time with them.

His mother owns a Skitty. Silver always had fun playing with Skitty. His father, on the other hand, loathed Pokemon. He only see's them as a waste of time, but he bears with it. Silver has a sister, but she left on her journey when he was only 1.

When Silver finally decided to go on his own adventure, his mother lent him Skitty to watch over him as he journey's. She even went & caught an Eevee for Silver & gave it to him when the time was right, which was now. Now Silver had 2 Pokemon on his start. As he said good-bye, his father said nothing & only waved him off. Not even an 'I'll miss you?' Silver thought. He knew his dad didn't appreciate Pokemon very much, but he wouldn't persuade him to love them. It would just irritate him.

Silver went to the hills to start his journey forward. Over time he has won many battles, some even intense. He tries his best to keep his Pokemon happy & loved, & he will continue this & keep every Pokemon safe.

At the moment he's headed south on a car with Jake. They have plans to take down Team Plasma along the way, & Silver has plans to get all gym badges along the way. One day his dream of becoming really strong will come true.

Personality: Silver is an upbeat kind of guy. He always manages to stay on the positive mood, unless something is horribly wrong. He seems to be the most talkative when he's in a group, which tends to annoy people. He's nice, calm, & friendly, but also mischevious. He'll play tricks on people he doesn't like very much.

Silver is like a gentleman to any girl he meets. He tries to get to know them before he talks about himself. When he likes a girl, he doesn't get jealous very easily. When making friends, he tries his best not to embarress himself. He'll also try to make any person feel better any way he can. He's pretty much a good friend at most.

((OOC: Guess I'll kick this off.))

John

John sighed and looked at Seven and Shadow, who was in a form that could have been Seven's older sister.

"So, where is the gym?" he said, rubbing his chin boedly. Shadoe looked around and giggled. Seven adjusted her grip on her eevee, a silver little guy named Eight, and snrugged, a gesture she had picked up from John.

"I don't know... Hm..." she said after a moment. Her eyes went glasst, and she giggled a bit, adding in, "Eight said that we should jjust look for it!"

"Well, Eight can just go jump in a lake before I throw him in one." John said, and the eevee growled at him. He ignored him and turned around.

"Well, we should move Johnny! People are all over the place!" Shadow said with a giggle. The number of times he had told her to not call him Johnny, and she had not listened yet. He turned and began walking toward the center of the city, stopping to turn on his pokegear and swap some of his pokemon. After that, he smiled and kept moving.

Jake

Jake sighed and sat back in the driver's seat. He was going to need to stop for gas soon, and he wanted to give his pokemon a chance to stretch their legs, as well as his passengers. He looked at Silver and smiled.

"So, how about the next exit we hit the gas station?" he offered as he drove along. He was going to drop Silver off at the gym, but he wouldn't be able to stay. He had to get to Florida to report in. He was still a member of Team Plazma, even though he was going to destroy them.

 

[Game Over1375]

((Oh Nideous... Lake Lure isn't a city. It's a small town surrounded by mountians and streams, with a large lake close by. The gym, I would imagine, would be close to the top of Chimney Rock. :P))

Dressed in his usual clothing of a black t-shirt, blue jeans, black boots, aviator sunglasses, and a black fedora hat, Earl was sitting in front of Dalton's General Store, petting a Stoutland that was lying down next to him on the bench. Leonidas was leaning on a post while Izanami was coiled around Earl's torso. Earl had arrived here several minutes ago, and he had decided to take a rest here. It had been a while since he had been to Lake Lure, so he felt his gym battle could wait. He also hadn't heard anything from MiB for several days now, not that it was bothering him.

"Leonidas, did I make the right choice joining you-know-who?" asked Earl, turning to his Feraligatr, who just shrugged. He wasn't real sure either. He liked the training and battles that Legion offered, but that was it. Everything else, he didn't really care for.

Sighing at Leonidas' answer, Earl looked to his shiny Seviper, Izanami. "How about you?"

"Sssssev Viper Sse Vi," said Izanami, and Earl smiled at this. She had said she liked the free food, joking with Earl a little. That was true. They did get free food wherever they went, thanks to a credit card Earl was given fom MiB. "Seriously though, do you think I made the right choice?"

Izanami seemed to think for a little bit until she nodded, letting Earl feel better about himself.

"Well, I think we're good and rested. See ya later Stoutland buddy."

Standing up, Earl waved the Stoutland good-bye and began walking towards the lake, Leonidas walking at his left side as Izanami just stay coiled around Earl. She and Earl had bonded a lot recently, despite her being his most recent capture. She only talked to him, and no one else. Not even Earl's Pokemon. Still though, Earl really liked her. She understood him as much as Leonidas, and he liked talking to her.

"The setting is the ice Gym in Baltimore Maryland. The battle between John Israel Mcfarline and Ice Pokemon guru Riley is at it's end. The place looks like a war zone, or it would if anyone could see through the thick steam that blankets the area. My camera's screen has fogged over so I can only give you audio details. Wait! the fog is clearing, somethings happening!" said Mary covering the battle. Then Riley's Glaceon flew from behind a thick blanket of steam and landed hard on a layer of ice cracking it. The Glaceon cried weakly but couldn't move. Then like a flaming boogeyman something walked out from the fog stepping toward the Glaceon. The Glaceon tried to move and get away but it was far too weak. The Pokemon that was primed to be it's executioner looked like a large menacing shadow withing the mist. Then it glowed orange surrounded by fire and let out a fierce cry blowing the seam away and revealing it's form, "BLAAAAZIKEEEEN!"

The Blaziken glanced back at its trainer Israel waiting for its final order. Israel just smirked and gave a thumbs down. The Blaziken turned and grabbed the Glaceon by the neck threw it up in the air and shot a white hot stream of flame at it. The Glaceon landed in front of his trainer completely and utterly defeated. Riley pulled out his Pokeball and returned his Pokemon. "BRUTAL! John Israel Mcfarline is the winner! He has conquered yet another Gym!" said Mary letting her happiness show that her crush had won the battle.

Israel was a bad winner, "I warned you to just give me the badge when we started, but no! You had to get trashed like a chump! But hey, I'm not complaining! I love kicking some loser butt!" Riley gave the Ice Badge to Israel. "You have a bright future, but If I may. You need to learn respect for other trainers," said Riley. Israel laughed, "I respect you, but that in no way saves you from getting your butt handed to you. Now if you'd excuse me, I have things to do." Israel walked over to Mary and held up the badge. "Did you get that?" he asked her.

She smiled flirtatiously, "I've got it. Y'know seeing you battle just makes a girl melt. I've got to ask you something. Will you go o-." Her question was stopped by a ringing. Israel pulled out his phone and answered it. "Yeah, hello?" he said, "uh huh, uh huh, why should I care, your voice is boring, uh huh, WHAT!!!" Christian put his phone down mortified. "What is it?" asked Mary. "My- great uncle was murdered," said Israel weakly. His face then turned into his ice cold killer stare. There was going to be a reckoning.

This adventure was going great so far. 1 gym badge & Team Plasma already lost something. Things went by so fast, who knows what'll come next in his adventure. "So, how about the next exit we hit the gas station?" Jake asked. Was the car running low on gas already?

"Sure!" Silver agreed. One pitstop wouldn't hurt. They were headed for North Carolina. Their destination was Florida. It could take a while, but at least there are gyms along the way, like one in North Carolina. Anyway, how was Aura doing? Guess he still wanted to fight Monferno for what he did against Sweety.

Silver wonders what the gym will be like in North Carolina. How would he strategize? So much rotting in his brain it was so cool. "Man, I hope we get to North Caroline soon! I'm itching to battle for my next gym badge!" Silver shouted enthusiastically.

 

[aspie3000]

Thanks to an Abra at the Pokemon center Israel was able to get to the town and state where his great uncle was murdered quick, Lake Lure, North Carolina. It was a beautiful place surrounded by mountains and streams. It was right above Israel's home state of South Carolina which is probably why his uncle took residence there. Israel arrived at his uncle's house. It was burned down as the police had said. He shook his head and sighed. "I'm so sorry..." said Mary. "This just rubs me the wrong way. Uncle Samuel was a saint. He was an honest God fearing man that always paid his dues. He imparted on me a lot of wisdom, and trained me in Pokemon battles. Y'know he was a big reason that me and my father are so good. All I can say is rest in peace Uncle Sam..." said Israel.

A cop car parked to the side of the street. He got out and walked over to Israel. "How are you doing?" he asked. "My uncle's dead so I'm just freaken peachy!" responded Israel. "I'm going to need you to ask you few questions," said the cop. "Go ahead," said Israel. "Did your Uncle have any enemies?" asked the cop. "None at all," responded Israel. "Do you have any idea who could've done this?" asked the cop. "If I did they'd be dead," responded Israel.

The cop asked a few more questions and then left Israel alone with Mary. Israel knelt down in front of the burnt house and prayed a prayer for Uncle Sam. "Is there anything I can do?" asked Mary. "Yes," responded Israel, "don't cover my investigation of this event. Who ever did this WILL pay for it." Mary nodded her head. "All right, let's go to kick the local wildlife's arse. I need to train my Pokemon to a higher level to prepare for the Gym," said Israel. Israel went to the mountains and began training his Pokemon.

John

John walked out of the fast food joint and roughly tossed a small red box at Seven, who caught it with her psychic powers and brought it too her hand. She opened it up and pulled out a small carten of chicken nuggets and began to eat them. He opened his own bag and pulled out a french fry and opened his map. He was here... And the gym was somewhere over here. Not too far. Shadow grinned and wagged her tail.

"I smell Earl Johnny!" she said happily. John nodded, nowing better than to ignore her nose.

"Well, then we might as well go find him. Seven, finish your happy meal and we'll leave." John said, tossing a fry to Shadow, who ignored it. She giggled at him as he chomped into the chicken sandwhich and sat down.

Jake

Jake chuckled and tapped the sterring wheel.

"We've been in North Carolina for about fifteen miles. That's the point. I need a map to find the gym. And you... When was the last time you ate something? I'll bet it's been a while. And we need to stretch our legs, both of us. Being crammed in a Taurous for several hours is not fun." he said with a smile as he kept driving. He veered across three lanes and hit the next exit ramp, never dipping below 60 until he was halfway up before hitting the brakes and stopping at the light. He laughed as he was jolted against the steering wheel and Sweety scolded him angrily from where she was sitting on Aura's lap, having fallen from his head.

"Sorry, I almost missed my exit." he said with a grin, pushing his brown hair out of his face.

Earl was now chilling outside of a store known as Heavenly Hogs. It was a biker establishment that sold many things bikers like, as well as stuff Earl likes. Earl was here to question the owner about a rather nice Harley-Davidson motorcycle parked outside that was for sale.

"My question is if it runs good. I need something with a good pair of wheels on it. My Yanmega is easily able to fly me anywhere I want, but I need something to go through towns on."

"I hear ya. I hear ya. Yeah, she runs pretty good. Nothing's wrong with it at all. I just need the extra money, y'know? Economy sucks nowadays," said the store manager, an old male biker wearing a tattered black leather jacket. Earl looked back outside at the bike, wondering if it was worth what he was fixing to pay for it.

"Ten grand, my only offer. I got the liscense. Just need the paperwork, and I'll call and get my insurance on it," said Earl as he brought his suitcase up. Leonidas had long since been returned to his Pokeball, while Izanami was still wrapped around Earl. Opening the suitcase, Earl grabbed ten packs of ten one hundred dollar bills and threw them at the old biker.

"All of them are real. Check if you need to George, but you know my family and me. We don't cheat friends."

George quickly looked through the bills carefully and smiled at Earl. Yeah, he had known Earl's grandfather for a long time. He knew he could trust Earl. Nodding his head, he laughed a bit and brought a folder out, showing all the paperwork on the bike. Happy with this, Earl picked up the folder and put it in his suitcase. Closing the suitcase, he stretched his hand, shaking George's large right hand. George then gave Earl the key to the bike as Earl began heading out.

"Pleasure doing business George. I'll tell Pops you said hi. Don't spend all the money in one place."

"I hear ya. You be careful out there rascal. It's a dangerous world. Say, would you be interested in catching a Tauros?"

Earl was almost out the door when he paused in mid-step. A Tauros? That's a pretty powerful Pokemon there... Also very fast. Yeah, he could use one. He had always wanted to have a Tauros.

"You have my attention old George. Where are they?" asked Earl, keeping the door open with his back as he turned to the old biker, who was smiling like a Persian that just ate a Pidgey.

"Close to Chimney Rock. A wild herd of them and some Miltank had been spotted there. Be careful though. There's a real big one among them. It's extremely powerful. My Weezing and I tried to catch him, but he knocked Weezing out in one hit," said George, knowing what Earl was probably fixing to say.

"Good. I'll be sure to get that one. Say George, I'm gonna park the bike around back while I get that Tauros and go beat the Gym Leader here. You be safe playa, ya hear?" said Earl, his voice a cheerful baritone with a decent twang that could let people easily tell he was from the deep south. George just smiled at the boy as Earl walked out of the store.

"Yep, exactly like his grandfather..." was all George said as he began putting the money he had just earned from Earl up, sorta shocked that the trainer had so much money on him. He began wondering if being a trainer nowadays paid that well. If that was the case, he might need to come out of retirement.

Earl was just happy with himself as he pushed the bike around to behind the store, being sure to toss the for sale sign away. Izanami was staring at the bike in wonder, liking what she was seeing.

"It certainly looks good, huh?"

"Ssssev."

"It is a thing of beauty. Well, feel like taking on a powerful, raging Tauros?"

Izanami quickly nodded her head. Like Leonidas, she was never one to turn down a good battle. Hopefully this Tauros would be a challenge. Earl did too. It had been a good while since Izanami had a really good battle. Not having anything else to do here, Earl began heading to Chimney Rock as Izanami stayed exactly like she was, her tongue every now and then slithering out.

(Ooc: So who's meeting up with Jake & Silver at Lake Lure again? & what was Jake's Monferno's nickname again?)

Silver Asakura

Jake apparently was chuckling now. Think this is funny? Well, it is. "We've been in North Carolina for about fifteen miles. That's the point. I need a map to find the gym. And you... When was the last time you ate something? I'll bet it's been a while. And we need to stretch our legs, both of us. Being crammed in a Taurous for several hours is not fun." Jake had a good point. They do need to stretch, hopefully they would park somewhere soon. As for being hungry, Silver didn't have much food in his backpack now.

"Yeah. We should stop soon to get some grub. I'm starving!" Silver exclaimed as Jake came to a stop on a red light. Aura didn't even budge when Sweety fell on his lap. He wants Monferno. Payback.

"Sorry, I almost missed my exit." Hehe... Jake can be unpredictable. They should be nearing Lake Lure soon. Man Silver couldn't wait for his next gym battle!

 

[aspie3000]

Israel had made it to Chimney Rock and spent the day training hard. His Pokemon all grew about five levels each from the rigorous training. It was now time to take a well deserved break. Mary was a good cook, and had prepared some fried Farfetched. Pokemon were as intelligent as people so that could be conceived as terrible but Israel rationalized that he wasn't the one that killed it so whatever. "That was amazing!" said Mary all giddy; "how did you get so good?" "I'm my father's son" responded Christian before taking a bite out of the fried Farfetched. "That technique you invented herding the Tauros into groups of threes with flamethrower and sending your pokemon to take them out. I mean- wow how did you think of that?" asked Mary.

"I'm just that freaken good," responded Israel taking another bite, "did you get that on camera?" "Of course I did," responded Mary holding up the camera. "Alright good," said Israel, "now I've been meaning to talk to you about something." "Go ahead," said Mary. "You're a big deal reporter, and I know that a great deal of effort on behalf of your news network goes into finding and keeping track of legendary Pokemon," said Israel. "Of course," said Mary. "Well, I'm going to need some of your files and resources to find a Psychic type legendary. Anyone will do." Mary smiled, "aren't you already strong enough?" "It isn't about strength. My wife to be is on death's door. The only thing that can cure her is a legendary psychic type," said Israel. "Oh," said Mary, "I'll see what I can do."

((OOC: Riley was practically mine in the first one, so I might as well make it official. Riley is my character now. Hands off.))

John

John yawned and threw his trash away. Seven grinned, playing with the little plastic doll in her meal, and Eight was trying not to sit near Shadow. The pair of them were practically playing musical chairs, with lots of growls and claws being swiped. She just did not know when to give up. Oh well.

"Come on. We're going." John said as he stood up. Seven nodded and stood up as well. The pair of trainers walked until they came to the lake. He called out his pokemon, deciding that it was time to train them seriously some more. Sure he was ahead in the badges, but that meant nothing. He had to maintain his edge, no matter what! He sent out his pokemon and began to work them over and train.

Jake

((OOC: They were going to meet John and Seven, and they were going to come with you for a little while until you hit Georgia, which was when I was going to begin the Celebi Arc. And the Monferno is Flare.)

Jake pulled the car into a gas station. He pulled up to a pump and cut the engine off.

"Ok, you're on food and gas duty. Go in there and ask the guy to put twenty bucks on this pump. Then use the change and get yourself some food and a Mountain Dew for me. Got it?" Jake said, handing Silver two twenties. He sighed and got out of the car. He pulled the pokeball with Pearl on it off of his waist and tossed it, revealing the Purrlon, who meowed at him.

"Walk around a bit and stretch out." he said to her as he did the same.

Riley

"Are you sure you won't change your mind?" Clarrisa asked for the hundreth time. Riley nodded and picked up his bag.

"Yes. Glace and i need to go out and see the world. Those three that beat me, have you seen them?" he said after a moment. Clarissa nodded. The general public didn't know this, but several powerful groups were threatening the order of things. Already some legendary pokemon had vanished, and someone had to do something. He had to do something. As the leader of the gym here, he had a responsibility to try to fix things. And his battles with Israel, John, and Silver had showed him how much he had to learn. So the Ice Type trainer had packed his pokemon up and made Clarissa the new gym leader.

"Well, take care of the gym. I'll come back when I can." the blue haired twenty year old said with a grin. He smiled and walked out of the gym, his head held high, and the Ice Badge in his pocket.

((Click here and pause the video. Press play when I tell ya to.))

Earl had been going through the woods for a while now, trying to find the herd of Tauros and Miltank George was talking about. Izanami was getting more excited as time passed, as she could taste the scent of the herd on her tongue. Earl really couldn't smell them, but he swore he could hear the sounds of battling not too long ago. The herd had to be close...

Earl was quickly stopped in his tracks however, as Izanami slithered off of his body and to the ground. She instantly began slithering through the leaves in the woods, evidently knowing where her opponent was at. Following her, Earl couldn't even try to hide his excitement. There was a feeling running all over his body. Was it anticipation? Probably. Based on what George had said, the alpha Tauros was going to be more than a simple challenge for Izanami. It had knocked out a well-trained Weezing in one hit, and while it made Earl worry for Izanami's safety for a second, he reminded himself that Izanami was just as brave as Leonidas. She was also as deadly as him...

Then Earl found himself in a clearing, right behind Izanami. Both of them seemed shocked as they looked around, seeing many Miltank and Tauros knocked out on the ground. These Tauros and Miltank had just battled something, more than likely a trainer and his or her Pokemon, and lost. Sure, the Tauros and Miltank would wake up fine later, but Earl couldn't help but feel sorry for them... Until he heard a roar. Immediately, he and Izanami turned to the loud noise, and both of them felt their jaws drop slightly. Standing fifty yards away, there was one Tauros left standing. It was bigger and taller than all of the other Tauros here...

And boy did he look pissed! ((Cue battle music))

Believing that Earl and Izanami were the cause for his herd being knocked out, the Tauros charged at them, and Earl and Izanami braced themselves. This was clearly the alpha Tauros George had talked about, and Earl could see that this Tauros was an experienced battler. What made this clearer was that there was a long red scar starting at the base of the Tauros' right horn, went over his eye, and stopped at his throat. This bull was going to give Earl and Izanami.

"Izanami! Night Slash!"

Immediately obeying Earl's command, the shiny Seviper's tail glowed black and purple as she jumped into the air, swinging her tail out like a whip at the Tauros. Not being able to stop his charge, the bull took the hit head on... And kept on going, hitting Izanami with an impressive Take Down attack that took the Seviper to the ground. Hitting the ground as well, Earl could see that the Tauros used quite a bit of energy from that attack, as it wasn't that quick when standing up. Unfortunately for him, Izanami was quicker in getting back up.

"Night Slash again!" shouted Earl as Izanami sent her tail back at the Tauros, hitting him in the side with the dark energy as he went to the ground again. Instantly though, he got back up, and Earl's eyes widened. The Tauros' horns and forehead were glowing blue as it charged Izanami. Lucky for her, she saw him coming and dodged him, but the Tauros skidded to a halt and turned right back around, hitting Izanami with a powerful Zen Headbutt that sent her into a tree.

Quickly, Earl ran to his Seviper, checking to make sure she was all right. When he got to her, he saw that she was still awake, and there was a clear anger in her eyes. This Tauros was making her angry. Noticing this, Earl turned back to the Tauros, seeing it surrounded in a red aura as he looked smugly at Izanami.

"Oh crap! Swagger! Izanami-"

Too late, Izanami had seen the Tauros, and she was pissed off beyound reasoning now as she leapt foward at the Tauros, which simply dodged her attack as she collided head first with a tree. The attack Swagger might have made her a lot stronger, but it also confused her. Earl had dug into his pocket at this point and brought out Izanami's Pokeball, ready to return her just in case. He was getting worried about her, and this worry grew as he turned to the alpha Tauros. It was whipping itself with his tails, glowing in that familiar red aura... Was that the move Work up?! It was, and it would make that Tauros that much stronger.

"Izanami, listen to me, I need you to think clearly and use Coil! Focus!" said Earl, his voice filled with worry as Izanami kept looking around angrily. Suddenly though, she shook her head and coiled her body around herself. She had snapped out of her confusion and was thinking clearly. The Tauros began charging at Earl and Izanami again, horns and forehead glowing blue. Earl and Izanami waited patiently though as he got closer and closer. When he was three feet away, Earl shouted the last command for this battle.

"GUNK SHOT! NOW!"

Izanami reared her head back and brought it back forward in a span of a split-second, sending out an extremely powerful blast of poisonous liquid at the Tauros. For an instant, it appeared that the Tauros was gonna power through the attack, but it just couldn't as he had powered up Izanami with his Swagger attack, and she made herself that much stronger with using the Coil technique. The results were instant as the Tauros was sent into a nearby rock, cracking it and fainting. When the attack had stopped, Earl tossed an empty Pokeball at the Tauros, sending him inside the ball. It then hit the ground and began wiggling as Izanami slithered next to the ball, waiting just in case the Tauros could stil fight. However, it couldn't as the Pokeball finally clicked after the third wiggle.

Letting out a breath that Earl had seemed to hold in for forever, Earl walked to the ball and grabbed it, twirling it on his right index finger like one would do to a basketball. Izanami just slithered up Earl's body and coiled herself around him, her head next to his.

"Good job Izanami. You did great. Had me worried for a bit there, but you did it," said Earl as the Tauros' Pokeball was put up. He then scratched Izanami's head, making her sigh in content. Earl was gonna need to have the Tauros he just caught checked out in a Pokemon Center. There, he would decide if he should keep the Tauros in his party or put it in the PC.
