Region X, a region set off away from the rest of the world, where PokéPeople exist separate from the rest of the world. Led by the mysterious Arceus and the Creation Trio consisting of Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia; Region X lived peacefully for millenniums on their own, until a Civil War broke out, when the PokéPeople felt as though they were being oppressed by Arceus' rule, so a large group of PokéPeople marched to the Palace of Wonders, demanding a change in rule.
Thus, the Spirit Trio was founded. The Spirit Trio consisted of three Psychic-type PokéPeople. Azelf, the embodiment of Willpower; Mesprit, the embodiment of Emotion, and Uxie, the embodiment of Knowledge. When the Spirit Trio was created, a wave of calm spread over Region X, ending the chaotic Civil War, and bringing it back to it's era of peace. Grateful of the help of the Spirit Trio, Arceus had ordered the building of the Chambers of Eternity where the Spirit Trio - along with the 16 Plates of Arceus - would be housed for all time.
The Civil War was nearly a century ago, and as a result, the civillians of Region X have prospered. Now with the founding of the Spirit Trio - designed specifically to make sure that the region stays in balance - Region X has been never been more powerful.
It is now Present Time and there is a Crisis at hand...
Introduction
The central chamber of the Palace of Wonders was quiet; more quiet than Arceus was used to, even though it was only a few hours before midnight. Arceus sat below a window, writing a message he planned to send to the Spirit Trio. Ever since he charged the three girls with guarding his Plates, he had been sending them weekly letters, making sure that they were all accounted for. He had felt guilty for the constant messages, but he had never not had his plates with him before.
Just then, soft footsteps sounded through the hall and the clicking of heels could be heard on the marble floor. Arceus looked behind him to see the lovely, violet-haired Palkia walking toward him, her dress flowing behind her as she walked. He gave her a small smile as she approached him at his desk, "Hey, Palkia. I didn't realize you were still up. Where're the others?"
She returned the smile then sat down next to him at the desk, "I'm up, still, yes. And Giratina and Dialga are sleeping, as far as I'm aware. What are you still doing up is the question." She clasped her small hands together resting them on the desk, "What are you writing?" she asked curiously, looking at the paper in front of Arceus.
He picked the paper up, setting it by the corner of the desk, "Oh, nothing. Just to Mesprit; checking on my Plates." He felt a little embarrassed: Giratina, Palkia, and Dialga had known very well that he sent weekly letters to the Spirit Trio, but he felt odd talking about it, as if it was something meaningless that shouldn't be done to begin with.
She nodded understandingly, "Of course. If you think you can finish it tonight, I will be free tomorrow and Dialga and I can go to the Chambers of Eternity to deliver it to them." She looked up at the shining full moon, "Full moon... Cresselia will be out tonight. It will be a good night for the PokéPeople." she stated assuredly.
Arceus nodded, noticing the moon as well. He picked up the letter again, creasing it in half he pulled an envelope from a drawer in his desk to put it in. He handed it to Palkia, "Here. You and Dialga can take this tomorrow for me?" He half-asked, half-told her. She nodded and smiled at him, putting it delicately in her pocket. "Good. Thank you. I'm going to retire." He stood up and Palkia followed him through the quiet marble halls to the end of the palace where the bedrooms were and they each went into their seperate rooms to sleep.
The next morning, Palkia and Dialga set off to the Chambers of Eternity to meet the Spirit Trio. The Chambers of Eternity - like the Palace of Wonder - was created on a levitating island above a lush valley in Region X. Since the seven of them all had the ability to Levitate, or in some cases Flight, it wasn't an issue to create floating palaces.
Dialga flew up to the entryway to the Chambers of Eternity, and he looked around, smiling at the beauty that Arceus had created, "Same as always... I'll never get tired of looking at this place." Palkia landed next to him and agreed. The two of them walked through the ominously barren foyer.
"Dialga... something doesn't feel right; where are the girls?" Palkia asked, moving closer to Dialga. He shrugged in response, suggesting that they may still be asleep. They continued walking, and upon reaching the heart of the Chambers, they stood frozen in shock.
The paintings that Arceus had put up of many different species of PokéPeople were ripped, torn down, stolen, or all of the above. The walls were burned, columns were on the ground, and draperies were shredded and on the ground. They looked at each other, mortified, and said in unison, "The girls." They each went separate ways, calling for Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. After awhile of running and searching, they rejoined back in the central chamber, neither finding nothing. They both flew up quickly into the air to the Observatory where Arceus' plates were held.
They had been stolen.
Palkia turned to face Dialga, worried she spoke, "Dialga... Arceus' plates are gone. Someone out there has some seriously powerful stuff and some powerful PokéPeople with them - the Spirit Trio! I... I didn't think it was possible to steal people. It's just... it's just immoral!"
Dialga nodded, putting a hand on Palkia's shoulder to calm her, "I know. Understand, Palkia, we will find them, do not worry. Right now, we need to get back to the Palace of Creation and let Arceus know what happened. Come on." He ushered her down from the Observatory and the left the Chambers of Eternity to meet Arceus at the Palace of Wonders...
Rules
-Of course, always follow the Guild's rules.
-Please listen to me, I don't want to have to ask you to leave the RP because you're not listening.
-No more than 2 Pokémon a player. I don't want it to get to freaky-crowded, but I know some people like to play as multiple characters.
-No legendaries. Sorry. The only people who'll be using legendary characters will be me and the co-GM (if she so desires)*
-No Godmodding, please.
-Shoot for at least a paragraph-worth of writing. All I ask is no 1-liners then submit. It's hard to build development off of.
-Try to make people feel included! If you notice someone hasn't had interaction in the RP for awhile, roleplay with them!
*The only reason the Co-GM will be allowed using legendary Pokémon is because I have known her for 3(almost 4) years, and have RP'd with her for 2 of those. If it was anyone else, I would be very hesitant on allowing such.
Evolution
Throughout Pokemon Eternity there will be four major battles to obtain the 16 plates of Arceus, as well as to defeat one of the members of the Anathema Quad. After each battle - and returning the four plates - the PokéPeople will be brought to Arceus to receive his gift for returning the plates: Evolution. Normally, PokéPeople would evolve with age, but due to the desperate times that Region X is in, the members of the rescue group will be evolved differently.
Arceus will evolve each PokéPerson that contributed to returning the plates, granting them one more evolution each time they return the plates until they are at their most powerful state. The difference between normal Evolution and the evolution that will be granted by Arceus, is that it comes sooner than most PokéPeople's evolutions, and it makes them more powerful than most PokéPeople.
In the case of Eevee, Ralts, and other PokéPeople that have multiple Evolution options, or require a certain item to evolve, their Evolution system will be different. For those requiring an item, they will be presented with it - along with Arceus' powers - to help them evolve. In the case of Eevee, they will be presented with the 5 stones that allow them to evolve, and whichever has the strongest "pull" towards Eevee will be what s/he evolves into; in the case that none of the stones cause a pull to Eevee, s/he have to decide which time she feels most confident: night or day. In the case of Ralts, they will be presented with a Dawn Stone; if the stone has no pull, s/he will be evolved into Gardevoir, however if they do feel a connection, they will be evolved into Gallade. In the case of PokéPeople such as "Haunter" that require trading to evolve, they will be evolved synchronously by Arceus and Giratina to mimic "trading".
In the situation that a PokéPerson is evolved fully before the others on the team, for example Magikarp and Bidoof, they instead will have their strength increased, so that by the time that they reach the final battle, all of the PokéPeople will have more-or-less equal strength.
