White Masquerade's Blue Oni
Ahem...! Off the coast of the Kanto region is an island that serves as the grounds for one of the oldest and most famous pokemon boarding schools in the world. Founded by Pokemon Masters Red, Blue, and Yellow, it is currently owned by their descendant, Hazel, and boasts various types of terrains—lakes, rivers, mountains, plains, etc. Abundant pokemon from all over the Kanto region can be found on RBY Island. Not only that, but the graduates produced by the RBY Institution of Pokemon Education, or just RBY Institute for short, are some of the best of the best. In the past 100 years since its founding, the school made quite the name for itself, churning out many Champions, Elite 4 members, Top Coordinators—you name it. It’s a school known for rearing elites. Having been accepted into the institute, our main characters were invited to RBY Island to attend the orientation for first years. Mailed their pokedex, 6 pokeballs, and a 1-way ticket on the RBY Yaht, the would-be-trainers were told to pack their belongings as well as bring a max of ONE pokemon with them. This where their story begins… |
Episode 1: Welcome to RBY Institute!
Breathing in the salty air, Ophelia allowed the kiss of the sea winds and the warmth of the sun’s rays to undo the knots that had been forming in the pit of her stomach ever since climbing aboard the ship that would take her to RBY Island. The home of the famous RBY Institution of Pokemon Education. The place where she would begin her life as a pokemon trainer. Ophelia sighed, feeling her nerves act up again. They shouldn’t. Her mother would be there. Her brother as well. She had it easier than many others who would be stepping foot on the island for the first time. Yet telling herself that didn’t make the unease go away.
The boat she was on was full of them. Kids young and old who had been accepted into RBY Institute. Some weren't even kids, but adults who, for one reason or another, decided their next path in life was to become Pokemon Trainers. All accompanied by the pokemon of their choice. They all seemed so confident (at least in Ophelia's eyes), it was hard to tell that they were all first years like her. Not like being related to faculty of RBY Institute gave her any particular advantage anyway. Neither her brother nor her mother told her anything of what to expect when she received her invitation.
“I wonder what the Orientation will be like…”
Crouching down on her heels, the 10-year old pet the slippery skin of a round, blue creature that was too busy eating to respond to her inquiry. Poliwag sure liked to eat. A lot. Catching the amphibious pokemon was a stroke of luck on her part. She didn’t even really 'catch' it so to say. It had come with her of its own will. Therefore, Ophelia felt it fair to indulge her gluttonous pokemon a little...such that when Poliwag wanted to go on deck and get some food, Ophelia complied, even though she wanted to continue exploring the yaht.
The appearance of a large shadow transiently blocking the light of the sun caused the young girl to look up. High above her a flock of pidgeys flew by, indicating that land probably wasn't too far off . RBY Island. They were almost there. Reaching into her pocket, Ophelia pulled out her newly acquired pokedex, the one mailed to her upon her acceptance into the school, and pointed it at the birds that were most likely inhabitants of RBY.
Hm, didn’t know about the last part.
With the data stored in her device, Ophelia was about to put it away when a flash of movement caught her eye...followed by a splash. The dex blared to life once again.
Running to the edge of the ship, Ophelia leaned over the rails trying to find the agile pokemon. However, it was nowhere in sight. Scanning the surface of the water for a moment longer, the ten-year-old sighed, hand resting on the rails as she looked up at the clear blue sky. Too bad. She had been hoping to get a closer look at Vaporeon. Perhaps she could lure it out of the water with pokemon food? However, after thinking about it some more, Ophelia shook her head rapidly, red pigtails flying about. There was no time. They would probably land on the island within the the hour. Besides, Poliwag was still eating.
“You’ll protect me if a dangerous pokemon attacks me, right Poliwag?”
There was no response from Poliwag except for the sound of munching. Ophelia sighed once again, head resting on her arms, as she pondered what her next 5 years of pokemon schooling would be like...and whether she'd be able to survive it.
And So it Begins! Alrighty! Your character starts off on the yaht headed towards RBY Island. The wild pokemon available in is area are: Pidgey and Vaporeon. *Note: There is plenty of Pidgey about but only ONE Vaporeon. Catching wild pokemon means rolling against the gm in the rolz room (See rules in the ooc). It's first come first served in terms of trying to catch wild pokemon. Basically express your character's interests IC, then tag me OOC. You'll be added to the queue of people I'm rolling against (Don't worry if you're confused now, I'll walk you through the process if that's what you want to do). Otherwise, feel free just make an introductory post, chat with other players, making friends/enemies, or doing whatever on the ship. Remember, posts are worth points (which will have plenty of uses as this rp continues), so the more you post, interact others, and do stuff in the rp, the more points you obtain to strengthen your team, pass classes, etc. Absolutely NO double-posting. There has to be at least one post prior to yours before you can post again. We'll land on 9/17 (rough estimate). Any questions, ask in the OOC. Don't forget to keep an eye on the character sheets for any updates to your character's points, team, etc. For Each Post 1 paragraph = 1 point. 2 paragraphs = 2 points 3+ paragraphs = 5 points. |
