[OOC] Alolan Pokemon Academy

[ReveTheDreamer]

There is still another student spot correct? I'd love to join if possible :3

[Joshua Tamashii]

@ReveTheDreamer there should be 2 slots open yet.

[ReveTheDreamer]

@Joshua Tamashii Alright cool, thanks :3

[Cerces22]

If worse comes to worse I can always create a teacher CS though I prefer not to multi character, I do have a build in mind for one.

[Stranger]

:P I can do the instructing myself if I have to, if you'd rather not multi.

That said, anyone who'd like to be an instructor is more than welcome! I'm definitely happy to have more players!

[Cerces22]

I will wait til morrow night give others a chance, just doing more than one isn't a strong suit in an active RP I tend to maybe forget once in a while about one of them lol

[ReveTheDreamer]

oh gosh, i might actually have to drop out of this one
im far more rusty on pokemon lore than I thought i was, heh, sorry everyone

[Stranger]

@ReveTheDreamer Hey, it's no worries! If you're rusty, what better place to learn than at a Pokemon Academy? XD But if not, I understand. You're still welcome to join if you change your mind!

[Cerces22]

@ReveTheDreamer

Hell my knowledge gets touchy after Gen three but I am all for this

[Silverstein]

Sorry for the late reply, my internet connection is a bit clunky this week. Anyways here's my OC and your new student in the pokemon academy, hope you like it.

Satou Ashiya, the fire steel trainer

Name: Satou Ashiya
Age: 15
Home Region/Town: Hoenn/Fallabor Town

Bio:

In a town underneath Mt. Chimney, lives a young, headstrong boy named Satou Ashiya. His parents are archeologists who live in this town despite the harsh environment in order to study about rare stones and meteorites around the area. Growing up in this little town, young Satou was heavily influenced by the stories and legends about the former Hoenn Champion, Steven Stone who often visits there. Since then, Steven became Satuo's childhood idol and hope to become a great trainer and archeologist someday.

On his 10th birthday, Satou receives his first Pokemon given to him by his parents, A Growlithe, which serves as the boy's loyal guard dog. He trained with the young pup day and night and was eager to become stronger ever since getting his first Pokemon. Since his parents are too busy with the archeological dig in the Meteor falls, Satou has to work hard and train all by himself.

Inexperience and unsupervised, Satou and his Growlithe decided to put their skills to the test and went to route 113 and get a taste of a real battle feels like. Upon entering the route, He encounters an injured Skarmory sitting by its nest. He attempts to catch it but even if it was injured, the steel bird was too tough for the inexperienced trainer to handle.

But Satou wasn't about to give out that easy. Day in and day out the boy provoke this metal bird from its nest and got beaten numerous times in the process. He would spend most of his allowance on Pokeballs and devoted most of his time capturing this Skarmory. He even borrowed one of his father's Pokemon, a Honedge, to aid him in capturing his first Pokemon.

Satou's attempt comes to a fruition one day when his Pokeball click three times and finally stabilize, only to find out that this Skarmory has already had an owner. An old man approached him after capturing the Skarmory and claims to own most of the pokes within these parts. He was watching from the sidelines, observing, amusing himself in the young boy's multiple sloppy attempts at capturing one of his troublesome pokes. Admittedly, The old man was impressed on how strong-willed the boy was, and how much strategy he use and decided to let Satou keep this injured Skarmory for what his effort's worth.

The old man then offered a brochure of the Pokemon Academy in the Aloha region and suggested Satou enroll there. Satou was mixed with frustration and embarrassment at the same time and realize that he has so much to learn in becoming a trainer. It was a bittersweet moment capturing his first poke in the wild as Satou was determined to improve himself.

Upon returning home with his newly captured Pokemon, Satou proposed to his parents about this academy. After much deliberation, they decided to send their Son at the academy where he will train to become a better trainer.

[Stranger]

@Silverstein I do indeed! The only issue I take: How exactly did he manage to catch a Pokemon that belonged to another trainer? Canonically, it's impossible to capture a Pokemon that's owned by another trainer. Additionally, why did the old man leave his injured Pokemon outside rather than taking it to the Pokemon Center in town?

[Silverstein]

@Stranger
Technically, The old man let Satou capture the skarmory, He didn't swat the pokeballs thrown at it like in the games does. And his skarmory is one of those 'stubborn to get in the pokeball type' of pokes.That's why the old man leaves it there on the same spot and nurturing it from its nest. Sorry, if i didn't flesh it out to be clear. I'd be happy to change his bio if needed.

[Stranger]

@Silverstein It's not a big enough issue to warrant requesting an alteration. Welcome to the classroom!

[Stranger]

ARE YOU GUYS READY TO ROCK AND ROLL???

I'll be posting the first IC post tomorrow! Once it's up, you're all free to finally arrive and begin interacting with one another! I'm so excited, you guys!

Your first post, obviously, ought to involve your arrival at the Academy on day one. If you don't live on Alola, a special boat has been sent to collect you all, so feel free to interact on it, if you like! The first event will be a school-wide orientation.

@Stranger

As it was said in her CS, Amelia was dropped off a bit early.

[Stranger]

@Joshua Tamashii Then she can be there early. :P

[Cerces22]

Page three is to far BUMP!!

[Stranger]

It's finally here, my dudes! Post #1 is up! Your characters are free to arrive and interact as they see fit! The schedule is for everyone - even those already on Alola - to meet up at the Marina, where Marshall will lead them to the academy and have a big orientation and a celebration! You'll then be assigned your dorm rooms and roommates (someone will be the odd one out, unless we get an eighth student by then!) and have the rest of the day to yourselves. The next day, classes begin at 8am sharp!

Edit: Instructors are encouraged to be at the docks as well to greet the students as they arrive. Feel free to comment on and chastise Marshall's tardiness!

Arthur McKillinder

Name: Arthur McKillinder
Age: 27
Home Region/Town: Hoenn, Lilycove

General Description and/or photo:


Bio: His mother was a breeder, while his father studied pokémon art and worked as a curator at the Lilycove Museum. Contributing to its vast collection with a few paintings of his own. As Arthur grew up, it became quite clear that he had a special relationship with pokémon. It appeared that he could communicate with them on quite a different level. Obviously, his parents let him go to Littleroot Town, to meet Professor Birch. Be it bad luck or true fate, when he arrived (with his mother as guide), all pokémon starters were already given out. Luckily, the professor had a visitor. Professor Sycamore from the Kalos region. Who happened to have a Fennikin with him.

The two hit it off immediately as they began their long journey through the Hoenn region. It has to be noted that Arthur generally his pokémon to join him voluntary instead of being captured by a poké-ball. He managed to convince a Ralts to join him that way. Later he also managed to get an Abra this way. With his three pokémon, he set out upon his greater journey. Beating gym after gym. In between the gyms and during his travels the 4 of them trained together. This joined growth made the three pokémon and their trainer nearly inseparable.

When he was back in Lilycove City, to visit his parents, he one night heard a strange howl. His pokédex told him it was an Absol. Knowing fully well that the presence of an Absol meant trouble, he set out in the night to find the creature. He did find it, with help of Kadabra and Kirlia.
The creature seemed frantic and panicking. People were sleeping so the majority wouldn't hear it. Yet it was certainly feeling something. But what? Arthur couldn't help if he didn't know. It took him all his knowledge of pokémon, and the bonds he formed with Krilia and Kadabra to understand the creature. But eventually, he did understand it.

Team Aqua was on the shores of Lilycove, trying to whip up the water pokémon of the sea to flood the city. With haste, Arthur sped to the beaches and confronted the grunts of team aqua. But while his 3 pokémon were strong, they were outmatched by the grunts. Until the Absol jumped into the fray. In the morning, the grunts were defeated and Absol joined Team Arthur. Arthur continued on his journey and eventually faced the Elite Four. However, the majority of his pokémon were very strong psychic pokémon. They could defeat Sidney but failed to take down Phoebe. She suggested that he diversified his team and capture other pokémon. Especially because he hadn't caught many other pokémon. But it made Arthur realize something. To him, the entire journey wasn't about defeating the Elite Four.

He never returned and instead began to study the bond between human and pokémon. His "base of operation" was the local day care center. Thoug his research forced him to go various different regions. Eventually, he felt confident enough to publish a book about his findings. Apparently that didn't go unnoticed as he was offered a teaching job at Alolan Pokemon Academy, in the Alola region. A place Arthur hadn't visited before. Ever. Of course, he took the job.
