Story:

A new region has been discovered, the Vera Valle, secluded by a mountain range formerly thought impassible. However, a trainer recently discovered a pass leading into the valley, and word spread. Initially, it was only a few trainers wanting to explore a new area, but word spread of a Regigigas sighted in the area. Professor Joshua* was sent to investigate, and confirmed it himself, but was unable to reach it due to the Regi trio protecting it. This was it, 4 legendary pokemon instantly drew new fame to this area. It only got worse as additional legendaries were discovered, who knows how many are out there? More and more people began migrating to this new region, tempted by adventure.

And that’s where our story starts. Many new trainers are tempted by the thought of catching their very own legendary. Many come for the chance of a new start. Many for the challenge. But for whatever reason, one has for coming, welcome.

It has been ten years since the hype began, and in that time, new villages and outposts began to be built. All are relatively new. It was thought no people had ever existed here before. Well, that was before the ancient ruins were discovered, adobe buildings long since uninhabited. Whatever happened to them is a frightening prospect.

This frontier has also become an interest of the pokemon league. With the number of trainers pouring in and the danger a new region has to offer, they began to organize new arrivals into suggested teams. Nothing is set about them, but a group often is safer than to make it on your own. They are also rumored to be in search of potential Gym Leaders.

Of course, one of the biggest dangers to a new region isn’t the wilderness or the pokemon, it's often the lack of law. Team Blackleaf appreciate these circumstances. A group of trainers that banded together for the best catch of them all, money. Their goal is the power of the Regis, and the extortion of every passing trainer.


*(The ugliest tree I have ever seen.)

Rules:

  • Good grammar and posts of two paragraphs at least are required. This is an advanced RP, and we expect that much.
  • Game stats for pokemon don’t mean anything.
  • Any pokemon CAN win against any pokemon. Ever Magikarp/Bidoof/Stunfisk trainer gets my blessing.
  • PvP is a thing. Figure out a winner beforehand, or Gan will flip a coin. Gan is also a programmer who can calculate handicaps.
  • No legendaries. No pseudo legendaries. If you get one in the story, it will be epic.
  • Gan won’t say why but going monotype maaaay have advantages. Of course, you’ll have to deal with the normal type problems like getting your ass handed to you by your weaknesses.
  • Star Pokemon: What’s your favorite? They will be the strongest hitting on your team. You will start with one (non-evolved) pokemon in the game.
  • No custom pokemon. Want to know why? Pain in the ass to regulate or create. Sorry.
  • Send your sheets to any GM to get approved.

The main authority figure of Vera Valle, the man is a massive, taking up every room he stands in. He is the a world authority on Legendary Pokemon, and gets immersed in his work fairly easily. Hyper-masculine, keeping up with him can be hard, as his badgered assistant can attest. He even manages to tire out his star pokemon, Machamp.

He believes strongly in the next generation, and will drop whatever he's doing to help a trainer.

Despite his oddities, the man IS a genius, and has proposed a number of groundbreaking theories on the origins of legendary pokemon, and is one of the few people who is physically able to get close to them.

Oh boy og gee about time we got this up
 
If you haven't finished your character sheet, if you would try to finish up, we're likely going to start this soon, and I'd like to know who we have.
 
Well, typically you should send you cs to the gms first, myself, Ganryu and Insaneasylum for approval.

...Somebody didn't fix the fact there are two other gms not mentioned in the first post yet it seems.
 
Alright, I'm going to do some GMing stuff this weekend to shore up the RP and keep us going. I think this has some potential and I'd hate for this to die. Mostly making sure scenes change and people have things to do.

One thing I would like that we didn't emphasize, I would like rotation to be about once a week. I can be faster if the story is good, but that's about the ideal speed I find most RP's. Rotation is every single person in a team having gone in that timeframe so its back to the first poster. Rotation is not a week between two posts in the same team.

Also heads up, while I'd prefer no one to drop, if anyone has to, just let me know. No hard feelings, I've dropped RP's of dear friends before and RP'd with them later. I'd rather no one did, but nothing's worse than wondering if someone's still in it or not. That said, been some great posts from all of you so far, enjoying some of the quirky trainers we have: outcasts, adventurous, disillusions of grandeur, meatheads that love cut things, sharp tongued. All been great.

Well, this has been a friendly announcement from your friendly neighborhood Ganryu.

Andy Richter

A new region to explore? Sounds fun.
Andy Richter
Star Pokemon:
azurill.gif

Name Aquamarine
TypeNormal/Fairy
Age: 18
Region of Origin: (Where ya from?) Mahogany Town, Jotho
Personality:
Andy is eager to observe the world around him and somewhat inquisitive. That inquisitiveness has made him very bright in terms of knowledge of nature but has also led to an unhealthy sense of danger because of it. Due to still being young, he is still a little naive, which results in him falling for pranks, such as April Fools pranks. However, when this does happen, he will see it as a learning experience and, in fact occasionally going along with it knowing full well that it’s a prank for the sake of humor. One example of this comes from Ratattas or other prankster pokémon hiding his items all over Mahogany Town, the pokémon themselves belonging to other trainers. The scavenger hunts don't bother him as he sees the pokémon as being playful or silly. Andy has high morals and won't allow anything to happen to his friends, going out of his way to try and settle disputes between other locals, even though it's clearly none of his business, telling the truth whenever he does something wrong, or just being around for people that have had bad days. This does lead to him getting into some sticky situations, however, such as people ignoring Andy during a dispute, at which point he will leave them alone.

Andy will start out shy to any person or pokèmon but will gradually warm up to them as time goes on and strive above most things to keep his friends happy, beware he will run away from anyone that lashes out at him. Battle-wise Andy favors being more on the defensive side, envisioning pokémon battles to be more like chess matches rather than matches of power preferring to pick his opponents apart with strategy instead.


History:
Born into a quaint, moderately sized house in Mahogany Town Andy was an introvert at the start of his childhood, clinging mainly to his parents, Bob and Martha Richter for protection due to extreme shyness. This led to him being homeschooled and learning basic reading, writing, and math from them. The parents wanted him to make some friends with any other kids at their favorite spot, which also happens to be where the parents met, Corsola Cove, around Mt Mortar, dubbed that due to the abundance of Corsola present. However, if they tried to help him he would run away without saying a word with a very scared expression on his face, thus leading the local kids in Mahogany to label him an oddball.

This continued until age 6 during one routine day at Andy's now favorite area. He was busy making little designs in the sand, with his parents watching him while they were lounging around. That is until a Water Ball pokémon popped its head out of the water. The Azurill, as identified by Mr. and Mrs. Richter who still carried pokèdexes just in case, merrily bounced up to the trio with a squeak. This was Andy's first encounter with a pokémon so initially, he recoiled away from it. The Aqua Mouse Pokémon just waved its bouncy tail at him, smiled and squeaked once more which made Andy more cautious now more than afraid as he reached out to pet the Marill of which it took full comfort in. Bob and Martha saw this occur and became overjoyed that their bundle of nerves seemed to have taken a shine to a pokémon and potential new friend. After a whole day of play by Andy and his new found poké-friend, Azurill, the Richters got ready to return to Mahogany Town. Before they left, she squeaked again, waved using that tail of hers and walked back into the lake.

From then on, Andy slowly became more outgoing. By age 10 thanks to repeated visits to see Azurill, he was at least being more vocal with the Mahogany Town locals, unless it was the first time meeting a person, in that case, he would start out timid but warm up to him or her after a few minutes of conversation. Andy's homeschooling was going well too, he was learning Middle School levels of reading, writing, and math. Though he was homeschooling well, he wasn't as interested as much. His love of nature though never really diminished still wanting to go to places along Johto such as Corsola Cove, Ecruteak City, and Olivine City, as well as keeping an eye on his neighbors' potted plants.

During the year before his 16th birthday, Andy’s adventurous side started showing up. He would sneak out during the night to explore the areas around Mahogany; not going too much farther than that because he didn't want to worry his mom and dad, he was very respectful of them after all. He yearned to head to rest of the Johto region learning about the many cultures and pokémon present throughout with his own pokémon, little did he know they both were planning quite a surprise for him. On his 14th birthday, the parents let him have a chance at his own adventure, before all that though, was the usual happy birthday Andy followed by the birthday cake and presents which included a backpack, a shell bell, a flashlight as well as a very special, secret surprise that Andy's parents decided to keep secret from him, a certain blue mouse. The soon-to-be breeder was very excited about all the goodies till he remembered he still needed a pokémon. Suddenly, he heard a familiar sounding squeak. He lit up like a Blitzle charging up a Thunder attack. He picked up the Aqua Mouse and paraded around the house and hugged it followed by the parents for getting his first real friend. Andy became ecstatic, he now had everything he needed to start his adventure; with that, he bolted out the door with all the gifts and Aquamarine, an affectionate name for his first pokémon, in tow after one last goodbye hug from his parents.

To think this all started upon meeting a tiny little blue mouse.

Since that point, the pair were busy mainly exploring their home regions until the hype concerning Vera Valle hit them. This, of course, means new people, pokemon and a whole new region to explore...when they haven't even finished all of Jotho yet.


Goal: To explore the new area, eventually looking to become a Ranger or a Doctor for humans and pokemon.

Pokemon Roster:

  • http://pokestadium.com/sprites/xy/azurill.gif
    Name: Aquamarine
    Pokemon: Azurill
    Type: normal/fairy
    Personality & Notes: This rodent is Andy's first pokemon and first real friend that wasn't his parents. The mouse being full of energy to experience the region with him. Where Andy lets things happen with other people he meets, she will rush up to most pokemon and introduce herself, excited at making new poke-friends. Usually seen bouncing along on either side of Andy, being a golden hearted mouse.

    That is unless the pokemon is of the poison typing, in which she is deathly scared of them, not just the weakness factor either. During a trip through Route 42 when both had just begun their journey together, they ran into probably the worst pokemon one could encounter on that route, a Golbat. While he knew after a scan of the pokemon that they didn't have a chance, the bat saw her as more of a snack, able to bite into her with its poisonous fangs. Least Bob and Martha were able to help out with an Arcanine and a Ninetales between them. Needless to say, it was off to the pokemon center to heal her back up. The mouse now has a quirk where she shudders at the sight of poisons in general, other types don't bother her at all unless they show poison moves in battle, then its back to treating them as if they are a poison type pokemon.
