Pokémon: Sorrow's Song is a roleplay set in an alternate future of society's collapse.
We all know the story. The two villainous teams, Magma and Aqua, succeeded in awakening their respective legendries, Groudon and Kyogre, only for their nefarious schemes to be put to an end by Rayquaza.
Yet in this world, Rayquaza had disappeared when it was needed most. The devastation at Sootopolis wracked the entire world, and ushered in a new era of cataclysm. Entire cities suddenly had been flooded by powerful tsunamis. Long dormant volcanoes exploded, showering the land in lava and soot. The world as it was known was gone.
Thankfully, you are one of the lucky, or perhaps unlucky souls, that have succeeded in surviving the end of the world. Adventuring out into the ashes of the past, each of you have left the confines of safety a decade after the initial event to see if the world still yet has anything for you. Perhaps you're looking for a lost relative or friend. Perhaps you want to see if the devastation uncovered any ancient treasures. Or, perhaps, you're just looking for a new place to call home.
Regardless of what you're after, though, the thing that comes first is your own survival. The world had become a death trap, and it is filled with pissed off Pokémon. For your sake, you have gathered around a group of like-minded individuals, who you can only hope that they might have your back as much as you have theirs.
With sheer grit and will, your group will hopefully be able to survive amid the chaos. If not, well, perhaps someone will be kind enough to bury your corpses along the way.

Howdy, everyone!
This is a take on a prior roleplay scenario I had done many, many years ago. This time, however, rather than Team Aqua and in turn Kyogre bringing forth the end of the world, I decided to change up the story slightly to allow for an inconclusive draw between the two legendary Pokémon. What this means is that the world is not just flooded, but seriously fucked up in general. Regions, towns and even routes are either gone entirely or completely changed from their original self. Different Pokémon may now live in an area that was once inhabited by other Pokémon.
Put simply, the world is one big mystery, and it is now up to the survivors to redefine the boundaries.
As for the characters themselves, you're not some big, important champion with a party of pseudo-legendary Pokémon at your side. You might have been someone back then, but now you're an average joe like everyone else just trying to survive through the thick and thin by not dying in the process. The only thing I ask is that the characters aren't a bunch of edgelords. I don't want a bunch of Pokémon expies of Negan or whatever edgy character you can think of running around.
If this is something that interests you, feel free to post below with any questions or ideas you might have for me to answer. I'll be posting a character sheet soon, so keep an eye out for that as well!
