Oh my gosh yeah XD It's going to be great I can't wait! She's going to be so done with Perdy if he keeps getting in the way.
I imagine Briar might be kind of the same way @Leoven? (also good character by the way, now here's hoping the surrounding areas can handle these twos fabulousness)
And yes, I did draw Maria. I like drawing my characters out. I think might draw more stuff from this rp later.
The envelope itself is rather unremarkable, it was a plain white, with black ink decorating the plain paper with messy handwriting that has the name "Matthew Layton" on the front. Within the envelope, the handwriting isn't much better, but they're small drawings of Pokemon on the sides of the text, and there's a detailed sketch of a Butterfree on the back of the paper. Although drawn with black ink, they all look realistic and well drawn, showing off the talent of the writer/artist.
Greeting Professor Juniper,
My name is Matthew Layton, I'm 16 years old. I currently live in Ecruteak City, with my Grandmother and Mother, but I am willing to travel all the way to New Bark Town to become a Pokemon Trainer, as it is a great opportunity for me. (The first drawing on the margins is a Clefairy waving at the reader) I may lack the experience of Pokemon Training, but I am willing to learn how. Being a Pokemon Trainer would go a great way to help me become a better artist, which is what I aspire to be. To be an artist. But with my current life, I lack the muse and inspiration to draw anything more than small doodles on the margin of my homework at school. But when I heard of you calling for people to go and become Pokemon Trainer, I was inspired for the first time in a long time to draw my Grandmother's Butterfree which you could see on the back of this page. If just hearing about the opportunity to become a Trainer inspired me to draw, I can't imagine what being on the routes with a Pokemon next to me will do! (The second drawing is a cartoon of Matthew clasping his hands together in a begging manner.)
But besides my love of drawing, I care deeply for Pokemon. I help take care of my Grandmother's team, like feeding them, washing and cleaning up after them, and taking them to the Pokemon center when they get hurt. My Grandmother and my Mother used to be Pokemon Trainers, I always looked up to them, and I loved hearing their stories of their Trainer days, I always wanted to be a Pokemon Trainer when I was a kid, but I never had the opportunity before now. And being a Pokemon trainer will not only let me live my childhood dream, but I can feel it will help me with my future dreams of becoming an artist. But I feel this letter has taken enough of your time, I just hope you consider me to become a Pokemon trainer, it would do me the world if you picked me to be a trainer. But that's up to you and I will wait for your response. Thank you kindly for your time and hopefully your consideration.
@Aquaknightaccepted! sounds like matthew already has a lot of experience caring for pokemon. hope he can put that knowledge to good use on the field :p go ahead and post him in the character thread :)
As far as I can tell, as long as there are starter's open for grabs, we're accepting.
We haven't started yet, so I figure just make a character and see what happens. One of our players is still pending anyways, so we probably aren't going to start until tomorrow/the day after tomorrow.
Yeah, I think you still got a day or two, because yesterday they said Mareep was getting reserved for 72 hours, so we might not start until that person posts or that passes.
Welp, nevermind this *throws a smokebomb and runs away*
@Raddum Why be part of answering club when I can ask questions!
@Synchronize How are we going to handle gyms? Like, are we all going to have to battle the gym leaders or will it be optional? and either way, if we all end up battling him...how will that work?

i wouldnt say theyre necessary... but as with all events i supply you with, youll be rewarded. and you can just battle the gym leader as you would any other trainer :p dont worry if someone else is battling them at the same time as you. if we did that, the rp would halt to a snails pace waiting for everyone to battle the same gym leader one by one lol.
[The envelope is fancy, marked with the shipping stamp of the Unova region. A brown seal the colour (and smell) of coffee with the image of a pair of dark sunglasses bars the entrance of any unwanted eyes to the letter held within. Opening the envelop brings the sight of a neatly folded letter with elegant script detailing the sender's interests.]
Addressed to: Professor Juniper
Greetings.
This letter should have arrived at your doorstep courtesy of my personal assistant, and so the need to introduce myself should be deemed unnecessary.
[Should the professor look upon the evidently tired young woman who had handed the envelope to them, she would show them her phone with BRIAR's profile already loaded up.]
Then again, even without that simpering fool right there with you, I doubt my name has fled your mind ever since you've seen me on television or heard me on the radio. That's right, Professor. Be honoured, for the one and only BRIAR has chosen you to be the recepient of a handwritten letter. My hordes of fans would kill to be in your position, so do not squander the sensation by letting fools like my assistant and what other sad excuses for applicants you have outshine my words.
[There was an evident pause in the writing.]
Oh? My assistant just informed me that Perdy has also sent you a letter. How quaint. That talentless sap got into the industry due to pure luck. I would bet one of my many, many expensive vehicles that he even had some relatives within. Nepotism is a curse. Unlike me, the great BRIAR whose life is as dramatic and brilliant as a movie. Several, in fact, have been produced detailing my rise to glory. I'm sure you've watched them. Such masterpieces, don't you think? But I digress. I meant to tell you about my rise to glory, which I assume you already know through my aforementioned films. Either way, I grew up at an orphanage, abandoned by foolish, idiotic parents who failed to see the gift thrust upon them by the cosmos. The plebians I shared that roof with were of the nastiest sort and I was determined to rid myself of their grime as soon as possible. At the wee age of three, I began to join singing competitions around Unova, all of which I won. Of course, I did.
Following my eight trophy, I was five then, someone who finally understood I was a star chained to the earth decided to liberate me. I'm sure you know of him. He's my producer, the magnificent Shou Prism. He brought me to the spotlight at the age of seven, after numerous workshops that I didn't really need as I was already flawless. Still, I blew the crowd away, and the rest, as they say, is history. I now have three platinum albums under my belt, four films where I am the lead actress, more awards that I can count, and wealth to rival any in all the regions.
Now, I'm sure you must already be jumping to the opportunity I'm presenting you, but allow me to explain just exactly how I can be of use to you. You seek to inspire people to become Trainers again, yes? Here you have in front of you a very talented, insanely popular, and undoubtedly magnificent woman prepared to offer her services. Give me a Pokemon, let me wander around your region with a camera to show my fans the wonder and joys and whatever of having a Pokemon, and before you know it, you'll have thousands scampering to rid your little laboratory of your critters.
I know what you must be thinking. Oh great BRIAR, how lucky are we that you're willing to do this for us. And for free too. Well, let me just say that I love my fans, and I am willing to sacrifice my designer boots in order to show them what they're missing.

[Should the Professors ask the assistant what the true reason behind BRIAR's letter, the assistant would fidget and hesitate before revealing that she was also a fan of her boss and was already used to their attitude, but a video had been released to the public which soured their image to their fans. Now, they're using Pokemon to endear themselves to the people again.]
@Synchronize Wait. Are we all going to be travelling together as a group or seperate?
with the way the rp is set up, it honestly favors solo travel. as i explained to onenote, it could get rather convoluted and really slow the pace of the rp if youre traveling in a group and everyone wants to battle a gym leader or complete an event. i will leave it up to you and the rest of the players though if you all wanna group, travel in packs, or solo.
tldr its up to u :p
Also, can we participate in contests? Are they a thing?
im not well versed in contests, but i will research them and consider implementing them. is there any interest in competing in them?
