Roleplaying

Ah, you must be new! Welcome to the world of pokemon! Here, thousands of creatures live with fantastic abilities we still do not grasp. I am Professer Lilac, the expert of this region. The Nakotha region, that is. I would like to invite you into this land to explore. Many things await you. So, let our journy begin!

You begin in your home town of Elick. The population is moderate, and there are many friends you might meet there. However, there are even more on your journy. Today, however, your parents have finally decided that you are old enough to get your first pokemon. You have a choice of almost any pokemon due to extensive breeding facilities across the region.Now, hesitate no longer. Come, join our world, and become a pokemon master!

Sola felt an overwhelming sense of loss as she knelt amongst the brush of the forest. She clutched a Joltik to her chest, trying to find comfert in the static air around its body. "Jollll, Jollllltiktiktiktik?" The little Joltik cooded, snuggling against Sola's neck. It seemed to be asking a question.

Sola smiled sadly, blinking tear from her eyes. She set the pokemon in her lap gently. "I know. You don't understand it, but it is time for you to leave. It's been three months, and you've been all better for atleast two. Its time for you to go home." Sola stroked the four inch tall Joltik with her finger tips. "I'm going to miss you."

"Jollll?" The Joltik cooed as Sola lited the little thing and set it on the ground. "Now stay." She told the Joltik, her voice wavering. She tried to stay strong, for both of them.

As she turned to walk away, the Joltik gave out a frantic cry. "Tiktiktitktiktiktik!" and Sola felt the little guy run up her leg to her shoulder.

Sola sighed and pulled him free. "No Joltik, you must stay here."

Sola tried to set him down again, but Joltik wasn't having it. "JOLTIIIIIIK!!" it let out a burst of electric energy, shocking the living day lights out of Sola. She fell to the ground, the Joltik landing on her chest. "Joltik...." Sola moaned.

Erith breathed in deeply as he walked in a open filed with his Larvista Luna, who stayed up on his shoulder, curled up around his neck and cloak. He slowly walked on, taking the sweet smell in the air when he heard a loud noise. Luna awoke making a small noise. "Lu..lu...lu?" it said in a chime like voice which sounded soft and confused. Erith looked to the direction of the noise and started to walk towards it.  

  The more he walked closer to it, Luna clung to him harder, signaling to him that she was scared. 'I wonder what is happening over there...maybe a trainer in trouble?' He thought.

The crowd was cheering at the contest. Sora and Kin were up next and while Kin was calm Sora was nervous. It was time to impress the judges. Sora was wearing a kimono made not from silk but a fireproof material with a pattern of flames. Just to be safe Sora had sprayed herself with a wearable fireproofing concotion her mother had used before her. (for obvious reasons) She was also wearing gold colored contacts. "Ok Kin just like we practiced." Tricks where both pokemon and cordinator were involved had the effect of impressing more than one judge on occasion. "I call this the Dance of Embers." The dance of embers involved Sora dancing, Kin prancing around, and ember being fired in a circle around the two. It went off without a hitch and the crowd got louder. It was the final appeals for this their first contest. So far they'd managed seccond place in the rankings. Sora didn't know how this one would turn out. The grand prize was some money and a trip to a pokemon spa... The pair had been the last to go and went backstage. "So girl how do you think we did?"

Sola sighed, slowly sitting up. She had a killer headache now that she had been shocked. "You know, I'll never understand how such a tiny thing can create such a jolt."

Sola stroked the little joltik as it settled in her lap, cooing and gurgling its happyness. Sola smiled. "Joltik, I care for you, I really do, but you have to understand. I'm not a trainer, I can't keep you. There is nothing I would love more than to..." it dawned on Sola then. "Joltik, do you want to be my partner?"

"Joltiktiktiktik!!" It said overjoyed, snuggling against Sola's neck.

She laughed, "I'll take that as a yes."

In the early morning, Slaka opened her wide reddish eyes. She yawned, stretched, and pushed the pile of leaves on top of her off to one side. A Pokemon ran up, a Deerling to be exact. "Deerling! Deer!" it cried cheerily. The little Pokemon placed an Apple next to Slaka. "Ri-oh!" She smiled at the Deerling and picked up the Apple, taking a big, juicy bite. Mmm! "Riolu!" The Pokemon expressed her thanks to the Deerling, who gave a happy little jump and leaped off into the undergrowth. Slaka finished the Apple and ran off through the forest, arriving at a small clearing. She carefully laid the core into a hole she had dug earlier and covered it with rich earth. With luck, it would grow into a big, strong apple tree right in the vicinity of the Pokemon that needed it.

--------------------------------------------Flash Back----------------------------------

The house was warm, courtesy of all the fire pokemon huddled in a small box. Two abnormally large archinine lay cuddled around five little striped balls of fur. At that moment Rayne's mother carried in a tiny bawling Rayne. She had only been 6 and her aunt Lisa had died that day. When Rayne saw the the pokemon she knew what was up. One of the furry balls yawned and sprinted over to Kelly and tripped her. Rayne in Kelly's arms flew across the room and landed with a thud. Rayne broke out in tears again. The small growlithe ran over to Rayne and covered her face in vigorous licks. Rayne giggled and looked up at her mother.

"That one? It's female and fully papered"  The girl added.

Kelly looked at her daughter and looked back. "That ones fine."

The man with lavendar hair picked  up a pink collar and snapped it around the small growlithe's neck. He picked up the Growlithe and kissed it.

"Be good for our niece girl!"  He talked in a sweet soothing voice.

"Thanks uncle James!" Rayne chirped.

"Hey! Don't forget auntie!"

"Thanks auntie Jessie too!"

Kelly bid her goodbyes and handed Rayne a small leash. "What's her name?"

"Trixie"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I included Jessie and James. I hope that's okay.

Walking away from the place where she had planted the apple, Slaka wandered through the forest, drinking in the sights and sounds of normal Pokemon life and the fresh, dew-scented air. The Riolu bent down to examine a few sparkling drops of dew on a leaf. They were really pretty, changing all the colors of a rainbow when the sun hit them right. And so round... Slaka wished she could just string them up into a necklace and parade around with the glittering dewdrops at her throat. The young Pokemon sighed, and turned away. But, wait... something was wrong. "Rii-oh!" she cried, and straightened up immediately. There was a smell of smoke in the air...

Sora and Kin won by one point in the final rankings. The cordinator sat down in a park wallet fatter and a fire stone in hand. She asked the fox. "Ready to evolve Kin?" The little fox shook her head and Sora sighed. She wasn't going to force her pokemon to evolve, if she'd known Kin wasn't up to it Sora wouldn't have bought the thing. If Sora had an evee she'd have let the little creature pick what it wanted to become. She stared at the prize ribbon just a few more and her mother's lucario could be hers. Sora had grown up with that pokemon as a sibling. Kin was her baby but the lucario was her brother and protector. When a liapardas had attacked her when Kin was barely weaned. The lucario had gotten his characteristic that day scars. A swipe on the muzzle and one over the left eye. Since then Sora had been calling him Guardian. Her father was holding onto Guardian for her. Kin still hated cat pokemon. The little fox pokemon knew her human had been lucky that the lucario had been around...

Rayne looked down at the sleeping Growlithe at her feet she stroked her long fur, luxurious from her new shampoo. She was going to evolve Trixie soom.

She held the oval shape in her hand. It was suprisingly warm. Today she would collect her mother's belongings from the storage. It was alot to do, turniing over  those sad memories. All she could rember about her motheris that she had many pokemon, most likely stolen. Her favorite, being a poocheyena, male. Her mother took the dark pokemon everywhere he  was even there when she was born. The thing to be honest terrified her! Just because dark types creeped her out.

 

She walked into the bank following the manager. He opened the vault, then a strongbox. He pulled it out, and handed it to her. She rummaged through the box,  finding pictures of the poocheneya, Max and herself. Some lone pictures of her mother and father, a beautiful black dress with sequins, and a pokeball.

She called out the pokemon, and it burst out barking wildly. Trixie jumped up into Rayne's arms. Max looked around confused.

"Hey buddy" Rayne exclaimed shocked.

Max tilted his head and looked up at Trixie and Rayne. Also inside was an egg. 

"Wonder what that is!" Rayne gathered up all her stuff, thanked the manager, and left.

She'd be off to her aunt and uncle's house.

Sola smiled lovingly at the Joltik, strocking its back lightly. The electricity ran off the tiny pokemon in little jolts up her arm, sending a warm, tingling sensation through her body. "You know girl, I'll have to think of a name for you if your going to be sticking around."

The joltik cooed its affection, and jumped onto Sola's head where it cried and jumped around with various rapid noises clicking through the air like electricity. Sola laughed and went to retreive the joltik, but it scurried away to her shoulder. "What is wrong?  Your not usually like this..."

Thats when the scent of smoke drifted over to her. "What the....?"

Sora and Kin were sitting on the train that would take them to their next stop. From there it was a few days walk to the spa. Sora needed a flying pokemon large enough to carry her and Kin around. Maybe a pidgot? Didn't need badges to own one. A bird that big would have to be expensive though. Sora stared at her wallet. Should she make a pit stop at some auctions? When the train stopped and the young woman and her fox pokemon got off there were some people staring at something. A huge pidgot was eating a magikarp. The bird was molting and distracted. Kin hypnotized the bird and Sora used a spare pokeball to catch it. Sora then made the mistake of letting the thing out and using an awakening. First thing that bird did was try to eat Kin. Sora put Kin back in her ball before that got too far and examined her catch closely. A mangled leg caught Sora's attention and she put the thing back in the ball and took it to the pokemon center. When she let it out of the ball again it pecked her until she got smart and fed it. That bird was going to take some work...

Sola, being the curious and inquistive person she was, tracked the smoke through the woods. What was going on? A forest fire was a serious matter, but the forest's water types would normally put a blaze out.

As she neared, onething became very clear. A pokemon was behind this fire. Once she got closer, Sola saw that a young Magby was rampaging about, obviously angry about something. "Magby! Cut it out! You'll set the forest on fire!"

The magby turned, and upon seeing her, proceded to use ember in her general direction. "Joltiktiktiktik!"

Joltik fired an electric shock into the ember, causing an explosion between them before Sola could be hurt. As the smoke cleared, Joltik had taken a defensive stance between Sola and the magby. A thrill went up Sola's spine, her first battle! But before she could revel in the moment, magby shot another ember attack directly at Joltik.

"Joltik! Use agility to dodge!" The joltik obeyed with blinding speed. The explosion of the magby's ember was enormusly loud. Anyone in the forest would have heard it.

Erith continued through the forest, hearing the explosion. Luna clung and dug her face in Erith's shoulder. "Lu!" Luna chimed in fear as Erith straightened up and ran to see what was going on. 'It must be a trainer in trouble! I must see what is happening after all it could be seconds until a pokemon gets to them if there wounded! This will also be a great opportunity to prove myself to my father and his accomplices, so if I am right and this trainer needs aid maybe then my father will see that I can be as powerful as he is!' Erith thought as he breathed heavily as he ran. Luna still clung to him, her fur bursting with warmth as blue embers came off her.

Sora kept staring at that bird at the pokemon center. She was trying to see any characteristics that might be useful in giving it a name. It was male and large enough to carry her but the leg was still deformed possibly since he was a pidgey. A lucario could get away with that in a Tough or Cool catagory contest. But bird pokemon had a sort of double standard from what Sora had seen. A fearow in the first contest she'd ever seen had points taken off for a scarred leg. It was a Tough catagory contest. Sora decided to not use the pidgot for contests. She didn't have the money for corrective surgery and since it didn't seem to bother him Sora saw no point in 'fixing' it. "What am I going to name you? I wish there was a talking meowth that I could ask what you want to be called..." The pokemon had stopped pecking her and was watching her and preening his feathers. Sora got Kin out of her ball and the fox looked at Sora like she was crazy before hiding behind her human's leg. The pidgot stared at Kin for a moment before resuming preening. Training the bird to carry her and getting to know him was going to take time and effort.  

Welcome to the Nakotha Region! Here, pokemon and people coexsist peacefully side by side.  Every pokemon may be found here, from the crawling Caterpie to the leaping Zebstrika. This variety attracts breeders, trainers, a coordinaters alike to this land. With so many places to explore, people and pokemon are never limited on adventure.

Cities and towns are scattered everywhere, you will have no problem encountering them. But where will you verture to? Perhaps you would like to climb Mt. Deko with your chimchar, or swim beneath the waves in Threk bay with your squirtle. If neither of those suit you, there is always Shadit forest, where you and your treeko will be quite happy amongst the trees and the bushes.

Weather you wish to run acrosss Dowth Plane, or muscil your way through Rodin cave, there is no limit to where you or the friends to meet can go. A new world awaits you, seize the day and explore!

In the peaceful reagon Nakotha, a surge of new trainers has taken over the region. A new Campionchip has risen in the regeon, give challengers a chance to prove thier skill as trainers, corrdanters, and breeders. Who will be the best of the best, and claim  their rightful title of champion?

But before you can attempt to claim your title, you must choose your profesion! Will you be the average trainer, focusing on battles and strengthing your pokemon. Or perhaps you want to be a breeder, a focus on catching and befriending the many kinds of rarer pokemon. You may be more of a corrdinater, showing off the talent and skill to the judges. There are many other things you can do, never fear! With so many options, you might just have to do a few of them.

You can either begin your adventure as a human, or a pokemon. A set of challenges comes with either, so choose wisly!

But not all is well in this seemingly peaceful land. A dark, sinister organization is working to destroy this paradise. This organization has no name yet, but recently reports of missing pokemon and violent attacks have been growing. What could be their plan?

 

The history will be made as you make it.

The rules are as follows...

1) The normal RP rules.

2) Don't win every contest/battle. Obviously, you can meet NPC/fake characters on your journy, but you will lose to them occasionally. Please, make it beleivable.

3) Pokemon CAN be shiny if you wish, shinies are mor common in this region. However, that are not extreamly common, so try and make sure you see mostly normal pokemon.

4) If you want to battle another player, both people need to send me a message with confermation and (this is a really kiddish way of doing it but...) a 'Rock, Paper, or Scizers' at the bottom. Obviously, you get the idea.

  ~ It is up to you to discuss how you want the battle to play out with the other player. Please take them into concideration, and don't post without asking them how they would like the battle to go. You can either post back and forth, or decide the battle before hand and post the perspective from loser and the winners stand point.

5) If you are a wild pokemon, you can be captured. If you capture someone, they are considered yours, but may or may-not follow your orders. They are also kept outside of the pokeball.

6) I don't think this needs to be said, but start you journy at the begining, with your first pokemon. It can be any pokemon, but if its a starter (Bulbasaur, charmander, squirtle, chikorita, cyndaquil, toadile... you get the idea) you have to get it from the Professor.

  ~ These are to be first evolutions, as we don't want any over-powering in the begining.  It is the very start of you journy. You CAN inherit pokemon later on, but not at the begining. If it is a life-long companion, say growlith, it is alowed, but please, 1 evolution.

7) Only 1 starter per person, unless you do a trade amongst real players.

8) I have the right to change or add any rules at anytime. A notice will be put in OOC chat.

9) You can have a pokemon with unusual coloration but they are just as rare as shinys. No over the top colors though like a rainbow charzard.
