-Pokemon: In The Shadow Of A Rainbow- The Third Adventure Of The Shadow Pokemon Saga

Plot



-Welcome to Orre-



As you can see, Orre is mostly two things: Desert and forest. A basic idea of areas of interest:



Depending on where you are from in the region, these NPC's may or may not be important for you to know about.



-Shadow Pokemon-
(From the Wiki)




-Teams and Catching Pokemon-

Your teams will consist of your starter, and for the most part, Shadow Pokemon. There will be chances at certain points to visit Pokespots, but what appears there will come out of a random number generator. This of course, means you cannot choose any pokemon for your party except for your starter. You can use certain Shadow Pokemon and Pokespot Pokemon you catch, but until you get to those points, you'll have no idea what you'll have. Don't worry though, I won't make you have 6 Water Types. I'll try and keep types balanced for everybody. This is to spice it up a little.

Catching Pokemon isn't as much based on damage as it's based on your creativity, and the quality of your post. If you wish to catch a pokemon, make sure to end your battle post by throwing a pokeball and having it rock twice.

-GM Work-

As Game Master, I'll not have an actual character travelling with the group. I will be playing NPC's and the majority of Cipher. I am the person who, well, moves the pieces on the chess board and points you all in the right direction of the plot.


-The CS-

No sons or daughters of Canon characters without GM approval.

Looks alright to me. Welcome aboard.

So, In all curiosity, if I can make a Ralts to start off with can it start with Confusion even though it's a level 6 ability? Pre-Six it only has growl. If not I'll do something else.

Yeah, that's alright. I apologize for not thinking about that when you first mentioned Ralts.

Name: Tyler Alexander

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Appearance: http://hd.wallpaperswide.com/thumbs/anime_boy-t2.jpg

Personality: Tyler is a real sweet kid with a big heart and even bigger determination. Likes to prove himself in any endeavor set before him no matter how big or small. This tends to make him look like a bit of a show off, but that just means he likes you and wants to be your friend. He loves all pokemon, especially his, and everything about them.

History: Born and raised in Gateon Port. His father was a fisherman and his mother managed a textile store in the middle of the city. His father tried to get him into the family business, but Tyler wouldn’t hear any of it. He wanted to be a Pokemon trainer. He had heard stories of travelers from though out the region speak of the Coloseams. The battles, the cheering crowd, and the pokemon. It all excited him and his interest grew exponentially. He began reading book after book until he believed he had it all logged into memory. All that was left for him to do was to get a Pokemon. That’s another story.

Starter Pokemon: Furfrou

Species: Furfrou

Nickname: Napoleon

Level: 5

Gender: Male

Ability: Fur Coat

Moves: Tackle, Growl, Sand Attack

Summary: One afternoon Tyler’s mother had mentioned to one of her coworkers that Tyler had been wanting a pokemon. The coworker had said his pokemon just gave a litter and Tyler could have one. So the next day Tyler’s mom mentioned she had a surprise for him and to go to work with her that day. When Tyler arrived he was pleased to see the young Furfrou pup waiting wide eyed and eager to please. Since then, Napoleon, as Tyler had named him stuck by his trainer’s side. Loyal and protective as a pokemon can ever be.

Oof. Always gotta look up these X&Y Pokemon, heh. I actually like Furfrou, once I get X I'll have to pick one up for my team, for sure.

You're good to go, by the way.

Mind if I throw a CS up, because this looks really interesting.

Go ahead.

thanks Raddum

Alrighty. I've got nothing to do tomorrow, so I'm probably going to be up late. I'll make sure to check out your CS when I can.

No problem. Thank you for joining, I appreciate it!

Ehhh...Vincent here. Kinda sad that my original character was deleted, but I'll cook up a new one in a bit I think. Nice to see ya again, Raddum.

Vinny!

Great to see some more familiar faces around here, I got a lot of interest for this... Oh, man. Makes me feel bad that I have such a low player limit.

Hope to see your CS soon. c:

Name: Raizo 'Rai' Montgomery

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Appearance: Standing at a decent 6 feet 1, with powerful, lean muscles built from past fights and constant travels, Raizo is what you would call a 'lean, mean, training machine'. His skin is lightly tanned from sleeping under the sun, and his fists and face is a bit scarred from some rather...tough times in the past. A naturally rugged, eager grin is usually found on his face, framed slightly by wild, spiky black hair and focused, yet glaring brown eyes.

Raizo's clothes aren't fancy, as he prefers to keep them light and practical. Tough cargo pants, coal-black in color acts as his bottoms, while he wears durable brown and yellow sleek trainers. His shirt is a tight white fit with a black leather jacket over it, constantly unzipped with dark yellow patches on the elbows and shoulders. His bag is white in color, tossed over his shoulder carefully, while his Poke-Balls are on a magnetized belt located around his waist. The appearance of a hardened teenager with a chip on his shoulder.

Personality: On the outside, Raizo is what could be considered as 'brash'. Growing up in a rough neighborhood where he has to fend for himself almost on a day to day basis, it tends to make one rugged and tough as nails, for only the strong survive. He has quite a fiery and determined attitude, easily coming off as rude due to his blunt demeanor. When it comes to those he respects or doesn't mind, may it be friend or pokemon, he is a bit nicer and a little more respective, even if the words sometimes are rowdy or vulgar. Despite Raizo's apparent rock-like headeasy-to-anger behavior, he is far from an idiot. Street-smarts and battle-hardened instincts has given him an edge in battle, allowing him to come up with brutal, yet efficient and cunning tactics and strategies on the spot. This helps him with moves as well, as he constantly comes up with different moves and fighting techniques for his Pokemon, even if they aren't for that specific type. Generally a rugged, tough trainer that enjoys practical movements and battling. Rai hates abuse, neglect, or thieving with a passion, and if possible would take care of the offender with haste.

History: Born in the dusty streets of Gringey City, Raizo's mother died shortly after birth, sadly, and his father automatically went depressed mode. This ended up in the child having to fend for himself as soon as he was old enough to. The neighborhood kids and gangs were no better either, fights and robbery were frequent. Raizo was no different nor excluded from the occasional violence that erupted here and there.

There wasn't small gangs around each corner where kids were beaten up or pokemon abused for losing a battle. Being robbed of their possessions, it was a rough life indeed. In order to survive, the young man had to make a decision, to join a small gang and fit in, or be an outcast and attacked for it. While he never went into the extremes such as killing another or jumping a poor, defenseless old man, Raizo had done theft, made threats, gotten into his fair share of scuffles that landed him in the hospital occasionally. But he quickly learned not to back down into a corner when someone was trying to beat the living shit out of you.

As time went on, he graduated from grade to grade, climbing his way up the latter until he can graduate and move onto secondary school. Well, that might as well be a pip dream, he had no money for such thing. And his father surely had no interest in his son's education, not when there was alcohol to buy and spend a day out of the week picking fights with his son. Raizo had began to lose faith in ever escaping the hate-filled life he lived in. Until a glimmer of hope, a small candle lit in a dark room, came to surface. The one thing that could help him escape the darkness and change his life around, a new meaning and purpose: Pokemon.

Many pokemon were often seen throughout Kanto, whether they be wild or abandoned whenever not accompanied by a human. Originally, Raizo held a pip dream that he'd go to visit one of the professors of Kanto to receive his first pokemon. A grass type, a water type, or a fire type. The ruffian had different ideas tossed about, whether or not it'll be a water type or a fire type he'll go with. At least, until he traveled near the edge of a large, rancourous cave where a group of punk kids were ganging up on an Elekid. Despite the rumored strength of this pokemon, he was outnumbered. His heart and anger set ablaze by this sight, Raizo ran in with a pipe at hand. Between the two, the small group was dispersed followed by a symphony of spiteful words. The Elekid turned to Raizo, eternally grateful for his assistance and furthermore impressed by his actions, and decided to keep the male company. It didn't take a psychic type to figure out Raizo could use a friend.

This friendship took off in a direction that was unfamiliar and well needed in the boy's life. Even though Elekid wasn't human, he was close enough. He understood basic communication, was a listening ear, and didn't need anything in return. A genuine friendship. With a pokemon of his own, the male decided it was time to go out on his own after finishing his education. To go to the a truer part of the map to become a licensed pokemon trainer, and thus begin his own life with his Pokemon. And more importantly, to get out of this hell hole.

Starter Pokemon: Elekid, the Electric-type Pokemon.

Other: A character I've been stewing around with on another site, though with a few edits.

---

Species: Elekid

Level: 6. (Thought that it fit. I'll change it if you'd like, however.)

Gender: Male.

Ability: Static - Though random and only slightly rare, this ability causes any Pokemon whom attacks Elekid with a phyisical move to be paralyzed due to the static coursing through the electric-type's body.

Moves: Quick Attack, Leer, Thunder Shock.

Summary: Elekid was, as stated in the biography, met during his fight against a few punks. He was only around level 1 at that time, and was getting his butt kicked by the snotty little dickwads. He was later saved by Raizo, and due to the honor and strenth he felt rolling off of the teenager, decided to join him in his journey. Elekid is a focus, determined Pokemon, the almost carbon copy of it's trainer. He loves both training and battling, and wants to become the best of the best, no holds barred. Forget weakness; he abhors it, and wants nothing to do with it. Pure strength and will!

Name: Marie Laurent

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance:


Personality: Marie believes in dishing out her own kind of justice. The girl is kind enough and respects others as far as they respect others and themselves. Her thought process does not allow for error in part of others and reprimands those who she believes does wrong. It is difficult for Marie to find error in her own actions. She’s a loyal friend when befriended and would never betray someone as it goes against her morals.

Marie desires to get stronger in order to carry out her ideals. She learned of what happened in the past from her mother and thinks that something might happen again as those who ignore history tend to repeat themselves. She also admires Professor Michael for his past deeds in dealing with the criminal problem though her mother never mentioned anything about Shadow Pokemon.

History: Marie hails from the Kalos region’s Santalune City. Her father is a small time researcher and her mother works odd jobs. Her mother, originally from the Orre region, wanted to move back from Kalos region as her family was having issues that required her assistance. Marie has quickly adapted to the Orre lifestyle while living in Phenac City

Starter Pokemon: Ralts
__________

Species: Ralts

Nickname: N/A

Level: 5

Gender: Female

Ability: Trace - Trace copies the Ability of the current opponent. Trace cannot copy Trace, Multitype, Illusion, Imposter, or Stance Change; however, Trace can copy Wonder Guard. In a Double Battle, Trace will randomly copy either opponent's Ability.

If all opponents have Abilities that cannot be traced, then Trace will activate when next exposed to a Pokémon that has a traceable Ability.

Moves: Growl, Confusion

Summary: About half a year before leaving Kalos, Marie found a Ralts injured on her doorstep. As any half decent individual would do she cared for it. The two grew close especially fast and Ralts willing put itself into a Pokeball. Ralts is a rather calm and gentle pokemon that (like others of it’s species) enjoys when others around it are happy.

Vinny: I really like your CS, a reference to the anime that most people don't ever make. :o
Elekid being Level 6 I can deal with, as the travels would certainly make it more experienced. But I'll have to ask you to drop Mach Punch, as I don't think he can even learn it. If anyone can correct me on that, then perhaps he could learn it later on, but he can't start off with it. I'm already adding you to the accepted characters' list.

Pyromania: Along with you! I had faith a female character would appear sooner or later. A nice little group we've got going on.

I'm only accepting one more person, sadly! I can't have too large of a group with this, I hope people understand. :c
