  Giovanni Farina
  Date: Monday April 1st, 1996
  Location: Viridian Gym
  Music Box: Attack on Viridian Gym​
  
  Giovanni held a Radio in his hand, clenching it hard. "Boss! He's just tearing through us!" A Grunt said over the Radio.
  
  "What! That's impossible! He's just a kid!" Giovanni shouted.
  
  "It's true! Oh god! He's com- augh!" The Radio fell silent. Giovanni clenched so hard he crushed the device. This couldn't be happening. One kid was tearing through his entire organization. It was impossible. And yet, he could hear the sounds of carnage outside. The Kid, whoever he was, was getting closer.
  
  Suddenly, a bright flash of red and yellow erupted and his door exploded into flames. Giovanni instinctively held out his right arm in front of him for protection. Nothing was left of his door but smoke. And as the smoke cleared Giovanni could see a figure in the doorway. A stoic looking boy in a red hat with a Charizard standing menacingly behind him and a Pikachu on his shoulder.
  
  The boy raised a finger and wordlessly pointed at Giovanni. And then, the Charizard attacked.

  Unknown Hero
  Date: Centuries Ago
  Location: Unknown
  Music Box: Batle!Primal Kyogre/Groudon​
  
  Thunder crackled as Groundon and Kyogre clashed in battle. The markings on their bodies glowed brightly and each blow caused massive tidal waves. If they didn't stop soon the world would be destroyed by endless volcanoes and tsunamis. It would take a miracle to stop them.
  
  Lucky for the world, a miracle came. Stepping off his Lapras and onto one of the few pieces of land left around the fighting behemoths, a man (who would later become the ancestor to one Sir Aaron) stood tall, confident that he could stop the fighting. The man held up two orbs, one red and one blue, and called out to the heavens.
  
  "Rayquaza hear me! I have in my possession the orbs you asked for! Please, come down and stop this ancient feud!"
  
  For a moment, nothing happened. The legendary Pokemon continued to clash. But then, the clouds parted a bit and a ray of sunlight shined through a whole as a green blur shot out from above. As the blur sped towards the battle it became encased in a glowing light... and mega Rayquaza floated, ready to end the fight.
  
  Rayquaza opened it's mouth and fired a beam of light that split, hitting each Pokemon. As the beams of light hit, the markings on Groundon and Kyogre began to fade. Two wispy tendrils, one from each Pokemon, began to flow into the orbs. The red tendril flew into the red orb and the blue tendril flew into the blue orb. Once the tendrils were completely absorbed and the lights of the Pokemon grew dim, the Pokemon, including Rayquaza disappeared in a ray of light.
  
  The clouds cleared... and all was at peace.
  

In the year 1996, a young trainer named Red defeated Team Rocket, won the Pokemon League, and subsequently disappeared seemingly off the face of the earth. Now, 15 years later, new threats have begun to arise. A group claiming to be the new Team Rocket has surfaced and they've been terrorizing the Kanto and Johto regions. Though they are disorganized due to the seeming lack of a proper leader, they are no less dangerous. Meanwhile, in the Hoenn region, two splinter groups of the old Team Rocket calling themselves Team Magma and Team Aqua have begun to enact their own evil plans.

If left unchecked, these threats could potentially spell doom for their regions or maybe even the world. Luckily, this world is not without heroes. Intentional or not, these young (and maybe old) trainers will have to rise to the task to take down these evil teams.

GM Notes

Alola, friends. Welcome to yet another reboot of my Pokemon RP. But please don't let that turn you off. The RP wasn't bad it's just that... well, ghosting happens.

Anyways, like all the other versions of this RP, this RP will have two threads, one for Hoenn where you'll be fighting Team Magma and Aqua and one for Kanto where you'll be fighting Neo Team Rocket. Like previous reboots, I'm giving you a little more freedom with characters. Go wild with crazy or strange powers and/or origins as long as they have a good explanation and you aren't omnipotent and/or god level. Of course we do still have to have some rules so here they are:

-At least a paragraph. And no, a line and a sentence of dialogue don't count as a paragraph.
-No Legendaries on your team. This goes without saying but some people simply don't know when to quit.
-No overpowered Pokemon teams. I'd suggest limiting yourself to just one fully evolved Pokemon to curb any possible overpoweredness.
-Battles will be cinematic akin to anime battles. As such, all pvp battles will be decided ahead of time by a die roll.
-This roleplay takes cues from multiple sources (the games, the anime, and the Pokemon Adventures manga) feel free to mix and match at your leisure.
-No taking over other people's characters.
-You are allowed to have a maximum of two characters, one per thread. This is to prevent anybody having their characters purely interact with just each other (of course, there's always the possibility of the two plot threads converging via wacky hijinks. If that happens this all becomes moot but even then I'm still enforcing only two characters, one per thread).
-If you have special powers of any sort, you must have some reason for them. I cannot emphasize this enough (I will make the occasional exception if I deem it okay such as my character Ann for whom the reason for her inability to age past ten being unknown is part of the joke).
-There are a few rules that are not here that might end up here later after I remember them. Don't be surprised if I suddenly realize a rule that isn't here. Sorry.
-Don't be an ass. Just because your character's a cynical meanie doesn't mean you have to be.
-Original characters only please and thank you.
-Unfortunately, due to only existing in the past, Hisui Pokemon will not be allowed unless you can justify it.
-Have fun and stay awesome!

Since this is my first drabble on this particular RP, lemme just ask a question: what's the minimum age for the characters?

10 or 11, I'd say since Ash starts at 10 and 11 is the minimum age to take on Alola's trials.

 

[saniachan]

Okay, I'm tentatively interested for now. Will take awhile (and a lot of questions) to get things in order for me, though.

Speaking of questions, lemme throw another one: how's the state of Cinnabar Island at the time of this RP?

 

[BackSet]

how's the state of Cinnabar Island at the time of this RP?

Not destroyed by a volcano if that's what your asking.

 

[Spiderverse]

I'm down if you're still looking

 

[saniachan]

If you'll excuse me, lemme bump this one~

 

[NamelessTrax]

I am interested, throwing in my trainer’s hat.

 

[NamelessTrax]

Could I get a clarification on “special powers”?

 

[BackSet]

Could I get a clarification on “special powers”?

What do you need clarification on.

 

[NamelessTrax]

What do you need clarification on.

i guess I’m curious on what kind of powers, could I get a few other examples?

 

[BackSet]

i guess I’m curious on what kind of powers, could I get a few other examples?

I guess the two best examples would be a character I will be using who has aura powers and a character from a previous iteration used by someone else who has psychic powers. Really, anything goes so long as you have a sufficient explanation and its not overpowered.

 

[Spiderverse]

Will there be a CS soon?

 

[BackSet]

Will there be a CS soon?

I'm waiting for more people.

 

[NamelessTrax]

Aye that sounds good. Thanks

So I'm thinking of reusing a character from another RP I was in (not in this site tho) for Hoenn's side. He has psychic powers because he was born at a place where a lot of psychics live and can control electricity because living with an electric mon means you better get ready to be zapped anytime. But the thing is, he only used those powers on the stage because he once tried to be a performer of some sort but realized that it's not for him later on. Is it okay?

The psychic powers are fine but I don't really think hanging around electric types is enough justification to control electricity. Sure, building up a resistance to shock makes sense, just look at our boy Ash, but not straight up electric powers.

 

[Firelie]

Can I have a special power that is just fucking cheating in pokemon battles?

Elaborate.

Elaborate.

-start pokemon battle
-send out 5 pokemon at once

In that case, let's just say that the electric thing returns to its dormant state with my character never having to wake it up regardless of how much wacky hijinks this RP might end up with. I won't write it in his CS to reflect this.

Also, may I shoot a DM with links to the RP that said character was in? It is for the full context of my earlier question.

-start pokemon battle

Wouldn't that turn into a horde battle, though?

 

[BackSet]

-send out 5 pokemon at once

That's not a power and is situational.

 

[Firelie]

That's not a power and is situational.

I said it as a joke. I am interested though

Sure, why not.

 

[BackSet]

Gonna put the CS up soon.
