POKEMON - Dungeons the Dragoning System

[Aurum]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Pokemon!​

In this world, incredible and mysterious creatures known as Pokemon live alongside people, and in the wild. Pokemon have amazing powers and abilities, and although their use and trade is limited, you were one of the lucky young ones to graduate from the Pokemon Academy; from today on, you are a Trainer!
There are many ways in which to be a Trainer, and you will find your own path as you walk it. Just keep in mind what you've learned, and you'll be ok! (Hopefully).

Please remember that Pokemon are, first and foremost, wild and strong creatures. Do not engage in combat with or provoke wild Pokemon if you aren't sure you can't win, and keep safe.

Travel the world, speak to everyone you meet, search for clues, and have fun with your companions in this gran adventure!

Starting Point
Maybe you were born and raised in Ursa Town. Maybe you came here because you wanted to enter the best Pokemon Academy in the area. In spite of its nomenclature, it is one of the biggest cities in the country of Starfall. There is a prominent Grass Gym here, and it is surrounded by Pokemon easily handled by beginner Trainers.

Spoiler: Map

We are starting during the ceremony in which you will be able to choose your starter Pokemon, who will hopefully accompany you during all your travels. The order in which you will be called to pick is alphabetical. The process is done inside a lab where no one can peek, so don't worry!
KEEP IN MIND:
Stronger Pokemon tend to stay away from cities and people, and they have large extensions of land that are considered their territory. The further you go from a town or city, the stronger the Pokemon you will encounter.

The dice-rollin'!​

As you describe what you want to do, I will ask you to do specific checks for it. We will be using this website for that. You'll set your roll and keep number in the bottom right corner of the website, and you'll get the results with and without explosions, and each separate dice. You can add any static numbers that apply afterwards. As you tell me the results, I will describe how it pans out.
For rolls with other kinds of dice, you can do it however you like.

_________________________________________________________________________________​

It is around 10.30 AM when the Pokemon Academy's principal finally starts calling the graduates by name to choose their starter Pokemon. No one knew that the order in which in would happen would be alphabetical until now; they change it every year. Those who ended up at the end of the line because of this are complaining to each other, but the ceremony proceeds as planned.

This year, 21 students graduated the Ursa Academy, which is a higher number than most people expected. It is said that such a promising generation hadn't been seen since the days when the Pokemon League was just starting to set root on the world. Everyone is excited to see what these youngsters will achieve with the tools they were given over these years.

You were already given the Badge that indicates that you are certified PKMN Trainers. What are you doing as you wait?

Ralph, Son of Ralph
​

Ralph was, understandably, quite excited for this day. Well, Mostly excited, though quite a bit of worry sprinkled all over it. here he was, a full fledged trainer, about to receive his first partner and by god he was about ready to burst! The gnome man ran both his hands through his ragged shaggy hair, wondering just what his choices would be! Did he have a choice? or maybe they called it a chooseing because it's the pokemon who choose them!?

What one would choose him?

Maybe he should've wore something better to this occasion!

Did he even brush his teeth this morning!? He could barely remember the morning, or even the night before for that matter, not that he was celebrating it's that he was just so damn excited he couldn't sleep!

But patience! it is indeed a virtue! He must remain patient, and patient he must be. Which would be easier if he could see past half the people in this damn crowd, hell he could barely spot whos going in next. Though his size isn't always an issue, considering he was was it height to most people meant he saw more than his fair share of... Wait... what was he thinking about? Ah yes pokemon, and waiting! He perked up upon hearing another name, only to be disappointed it wasn't his.. He hoped they had alot of em back there, as much as he'd be happy to have a partner having a large repertoire of pokemon to meet was always fun!

....

But what is he going to do until hes called? The question vexed him as he began pacing about.

MERCURY LOYAL​

Twenty-one graduates, himself included, waited to be called. Being tall, strong, and handsome with glistening silver hair and beard, Mercury Loyal stood out. His glowing Aasimar eyes checked his Badge and adjusted it until it looked tightly pinned. He smoothed his elegant clothes.

Oh my gods. He plucked a long hair.

Ursa Town (not City) was indeed one of the biggest cities in Starfall. More than he was accustomed to. Mercury grew up in Scorpio Town, which was directly south from here, only accessible via zeppelin. A quiet, clement place next to a river one would find charming but still too dangerous to take a step outside. Despite that Aasimar don't reproduce like other races do, he had an Aasimar family unit related only through the Divine. They did look related. They looked the same. Glowing eyes and metallic hair and all. There the Loyal family was known for their wealth and their Steel type Gym.

Someday, he may replace his "uncle" as Leader. That is, if Mercury could defeat him. Uncle Mars already assured him that was highly doubtful since the kid had no clue about the geography of Starfall, not as supportive as Mercury assumed he would be. It hurt, to be honest. But the proud, stoic man had a point. To prove him wrong, Mercury had to graduate from an Academy and get stronger on his travels. There were no shortcuts, no ways around it. And now? He was more than certain he was ready. He had spent all his hours specializing in communication and comprehension of Pokémon, in correct use of today's tech, and in survival skills related to the wild.

Today he graduated. As planned. Step one was complete.

Uncle Mars won't see me coming.

Mercury casually glanced at the line behind him and saw a gnome man ruffle shaggy hair. So he graduated too. The Aasimar made a courteous nod and returned to minding his business. Step two was Mercury Loyal winning a Badge from the Grass Gym in this city. To do that, he would need to train his Starter Pokémon immediately and diligently. His first Pokémon.

Actually... Mercury reconsidered. Starfall won't see me coming.

Yuki Hayakawa

​

He watched all of the other graduated students as they waited impatiently for their starter pokémon. He probably has it the worst seeing how his first name began with a "Y". This meant that he was stuck in the back of the line and had to wait the longest to get his pokémon. But that didn't bother him a lot. He waited years for this moment and a few extra minutes of waiting wouldn't kill him.

Yuki took a moment to glance at his trainer badge that was in his hand giving it a proud look. He waited years for this day. The moment where he could unchain himself from the troubles of his life and simply live as he intended. He needed a Pokémon before he could do all of that.

The doors to the lab open, and a graduate walks out with an excited look on his face, and a pokeball on his hand. A person from inside calls for the next one in a loud voice through the microphone: "Mercury Loyal! Please, mister Mercury Loyal, come inside!".

Lux___Wolf
Some people are already aware of who you are, and there are mixed reactions to your calling. You know some people admire you, other like you, and a few are slightly jealous of your family's status.

As you walk inside, you are greeted by Jasmine, a wood elf that served as your Pokemon Morphology teacher. You are given the list after being instructed no to reveal its contents to the people outside but until after the ceremony is complete. You can now choose (PM).

MERCURY LOYAL​

Lab doors opened again, and Mercury walked out with his Pokéball.
Right then. I shall get to training my Pokémon right away. He thought with a smirk. He passed the line of graduates, passing Ralph and then Yuki, nodding at one and the other as a form of wishing them luck on their journey.

Orikanyo
A few people enter the lab after the Aasimar leaves, but soon enough you hear your name being called in a voice than sounds a little more tired than before.

You are given encouraging words by the classmates around you. After all, you are well liked amongst almost everyone in the Academy.

As you walk inside, you are greeted by Jasmine, a wood elf that served as your Pokemon Morphology teacher. You are given the list after being instructed not to reveal its contents to the people outside but until after the ceremony is complete. You can now choose (PM).

Ralph waltzed out of the room looking like a champ. "Ah yea! This is gonna be WICKED!!" shouted gnomeish man was over the moon looking at his pokeball, the dex held in his back pocket for now. He walked his way through the crowd with a big ass smirk on his face as he was met with the usual bout of questions people who were coming out were getting.

"Sorry guys, can't say anything, they got cool stuff though so keep your head up." he smirked and started to head for an area to sit and stew in his hype.

 

[Aurum]

Most people have already chosen. Only a few more are left before...

"Yuki! Yuki... Hayakawa! Please come in!"
You are the last one to enter the lab, and some people look at you with a little pitty. Others murmur something as you walk by. You do have a reputation, after all.

(You can try to make a Perception K Wisdom if you wanna hear what they are saying. Or just go inside. PM)
