Pokemon: League of Champions

[onionsamurai]

This RP will be centered around a new region in which only the best of the best trainers are invited to compete there. In the Mande region, there are 6 elite trainers considered to be the best among this section of the world. They are the trainers that Champions compete against in order to hone their skills. Some have gained this experience through years and years of training. Others just have a natural ability to train their Pokemon to the maximum potential they can reach. This is the League that if anyone can beat will prove they are the greatest trainer in the entire Eastern hemisphere of the Pokemon world.

These are the guidelines for the RP.
- There will only be two other people accepted besides myself. As a large cast of people wouldn't work out to well for this type RP.
- Only one of the two who are accept will be taking on the League challenge. The other person and I will be the sideline character like Misty, Brock, May, etc.
- The three of us are fully developed trainers. Meaning you can have all fully evolved Pokemon if you wish to and even a legendary if within reason.
- There will be a side plot with an evil team as there always is in Pokemon. That will be fully revealed later.
- I want anyone interested to post a Character sheet even if two people already applied. I don't follow first come, first serve. I want quality trainers who will be good for the RP.
- Each post should be 1 - 2 good solid paragraphs. I understand pokemon isn't always the most content filled roleplays when it comes to post.
- Most importantly, have fun and don't be afraid to sway the RP in a different direction. Don't go a complete 180, but don't be scared to throw me a curveball. Keeps it exciting for both you and I.

My Character

The Perfect Pokemon Ranger


Name:
Geoffrey Rhodes

Age:
22

Gender:
Male

Why he was accepted in the Mande Region:
While Geoffrey himself was not allowed to enter into the Mande region, his parents were. When he was a young boy both of his parents had been invited to try their hands at the difficult region. As they had no other options they had to bring along their only son Geoffrey. His entire childhood was spent hiking and camping with his parents in and out of the areas of the Mande region. On their quest to conquer the Master Trainer challenge. As he continued to age and his time was spent there he really got use to the area. So much so that he can find his way through almost any part of Mande without any difficulty at all. So when his parents finally decided to settle down from their new journey. They decided that the Mande region was where they were going to live.

Years past for Geoffrey and finally at the age of 15 he decided to set out on a journey. Though this journey is slightly different from the journey that his parents had set out on decades ago. This journey was to help and guide people through the region. Giving them aid in getting past the absolutely treacherous terrain of Mande. Along the way he began to meet his pokemon partners one by one. And eventually he become quite the trainer himself.

7 years after the start of his journey. He met two new people. These two new people were going to be the start of his new journey. The journey of seeing the 5th trainer beat the entire League of Champions.

Battle Pokemon

1. Trevenant - Aokigahara - ♂
   Natural Cure
   Aokigahara has a very special place inside Geoffrey's heart. It was his first Pokemon and he obtained it when he was just 9 years old as a Phantump. While his parents were on a trip through the woods attempting to strength their Pokemon, Geoffrey caught a glimpse of the small tree like Pokemon floating through the air. In that moment he knew that was the exact Pokemon that he wanted. He tugged on his mother's sleeve and begged her for a Pokeball. Seeing the Pokemon she smiled and hand him what he wanted. The moment the Quickball was in his hand he threw it straight at the Phantump. A great light came from the pokeball and absorb the Phantump into the ball. Three shakes of the ball and that was it. Geoffrey had caught his first pokemon.
   
   It wasn't until many years later did that Phantump evolve into Trevenant. It was an extremely cold night that was only keeping warm by the blazing fire that was destroying the forest. His other Pokemon were hard at work attempting to put out the fire, while Aokigahara was staying back away from the raging flames. The other Rangers were using every move they could to extinguish the flames. After hours and hours of work was the flame finally put out. But the entire forest was destroyed. All the Pokemon who escaped didn't have a home anymore. There was nothing any of them could have done, but Aokigahara decided to step forward. The pokemon set itself of the ground and let out a very large cry. Trees began to grow up from the ground and a powerful rate. The move it was using was Forest's Curse. These trees were only temporary with the move, but the Phantump turned to a solid white color. Aokigahara was evolving. Geoffrey's pokemon began to grow in size and obtain more limbs then it had before. Aokigahara had finally become a Trevenant. With this new found power of the Trevenant it began to spread the trees across the entire forest. And with it's ability Natural Cure, it brought the dead trees of Forest's Curse back to life. Geoffrey finally saw the potential of Trevenant and has been using him in his battles ever since.

Done, maybe

Name: Jay Rayne
Age: 24

Appearance:

Gender: Male
Region of origin: Icurrus, Unova
Why he was accepted: He's the Unova Ex-Champion, and holds the standing record for least amount of pokemon used to defeat the previous champion

Long and Boring Backstory:

Jay Rayne grew up in Icirrus City, and at the time he was the only child his age in the city. Like any kid his age with no peers to play with, Jay was extremely lonely and bored. So what did he do? He explored the surrounding forests. While exploring in the wooded moors, the young Jay Rayne bumped into another child who'd had the same idea. Jay made his first friend that day: a young girl with long black hair and beautiful azure eyes. Ava. The two played and played, happy as two kids could be.

Because Jay was the only kid his age in the small city of Icirrus, his parents simply assumed that he'd made an imaginary friend, happy that he was finally having some fun for once. Ava and Jay explored every inch of the moors and surrounding forests, never tiring of the other's company for an instant. It was a while before Jay found out that Ava wasn't real. She didn't exist. She was just an illusion created by a lonely Zorua to keep a boy as lonely as herself company. But Jay didn't care what she was, so long as she was his friend. They continued to play together, Ava sometimes appearing as a girl and sometimes as a small black fox, right up until the day winter reared its ugly head. Once it started to snow, Ava told Jay that she was leaving the area with her family. He was sad that his one friend was leaving, but he knew there was nothing he could do to change the fact. He'd never met this family of hers, but from what she spoke of them, he didn't want to.

A few years passed, and Jay was now eight. His explorations had turned with time into hunts. He was going to be the best trainer in the world, so he practiced hunting and capturing pokemon, which wasn't as easy without any pokemon of his own, or even any pokeballs. On one particular hunt, just as Jay was about to pounce on an unsuspecting Vanillite, someone grabbed him from behind and pulled him backwards. Ready to yell at whoever had attacked him and let his quarry escape, he spun, and froze. "Ava?"

The two were inseparable, and this time Jay even convinced Ava to come into the city with him. Everyone, including his own parents, were surprised to say the least. And even Jay was surprised by her as well when she dropped her illusion for him. She had evolved during the time he hadn't seen her, into a dark and elegant Zoroark. She didn't leave him again, her evolution giving her freedom from her pack's control. When Jay turned ten, Ava became his first pokemon, his partner in crime for the long journey to come.

Jay and his partner rose through the ranks like a flaming arrow, incinerating all in their way to the top. Along the way, Jay assembled a team of pokemon. His team grew slowly, as Jay never just took a pokemon out of its natural habitat. It had to want to go with him. "Ava" the Zoroark was his queen, sweeping the competition with ease without letting any of jay's other pokemon get a chance to do anything. His second pokemon was a Tyranitar, nichnamed "Gula", raised from a Pupitar that had attacked him. Jay had been impressed with the creature's ferocity even then, and he'd asked it to join him. His third pokemon was given to him as an egg, which hatched into an Eevee. "Luxuria", or "Lux" is Ava's baby. Jay was hardly even allowed to hold her. Jay beat the Unova champion with just three pokemon, a record that still holds. For three years, Jay has won every battle that he's used Ava in. He was forced to allow trainers to battle him without Ava because there was some bad publicity after a challenger had a mental breakdown from what Ava showed him with her illusions, but a few weeks passed and still no one had beaten him.

One day as the champion was taking a walk through the same forested moors that he had explored as a child, Jay was challenged to a battle by a man seeking his title, and Jay couldn't refuse a battle. The man sent out a Gardevoir against the legendary Ava, and Jay forfeited the battle. He instead chose to beat the man's face in. Jay's sharp eye saw the signs. For what he had done to that pokemon, the man had deserved so much more than he had gotten. Jay was forced to resign from his position, and his advisors had him go to work at a pokemon rehabilitation center to wipe away some of the red marks on his record. The Gardevoir followed him, not willing to leave the man that had saved her. Jay renamed her "Solitaire" or "Sol". Besides Ava, she's the closest out of his pokemon to Jay's heart.

He's been working in the center for a few years now, just keeping his head down and acting like a model of good behavior. Two more have joined his ranks in that time: "Acedia" or "Ace" the Talonflame was the first of them. It was dropped off anonymously to a pokemon center, severely injured, one wing broken in three places, the other in two, and a gash across its head. The nurses at the center let Jay, or rather, Solitaire, heal the injured bird's injuries, and when it was fully healed, Jay asked it if it would like to take revenge on those who had done such a thing. That set Jay's team at five.

The other is a similar, if sadder, story. A Garchomp came in, carrying injuries unlike anything a pokemon battle could produce. It's side was completely shredded, as if it had taken the blast of a powerful explosive. What sort of person would have done something like this? He didn't know, and the Garchomp couldn't tell him. Jay asked the Garchomp if it hated the person who had hurt it, and it told him that it did. That was all Jay needed to hear. "Ira" became his sixth pokemon, and a day later, he died. Working at the center was suppoed to cool him down, stop him from lashing out, but it had the exact opposite effect. Jay saw what pokemon were forced to endure at the hands of their trainers, and now he'll punish anyone who mistreats a pokemon. All it took was one incident, an attack on an "innocent" trainer, and Jay was forced to leave Unova.

He's changed a lot from that lonely, happy, naive, little boy that Ava met so long ago. She will be with him to the end, no matter what he does with his life.

Pokemon:

Pokemon Name: Zoroark
Nickname: Ave Dominus Nox (Only she calls herself that though, everyone else just calls her Ava, or Ave if they want to be really polite.)
Gender: F

Appearance:

Though usually it’s more like this:

Any other notable distinction:
Jay's first pokemon, and his lifelong partner. She passes for human most of the time. Ava is an absolute monster to cross. Her awesome physical strength strikes terror into the hearts of her partner's opponents, only second to the terror beheld in her illusions. She's usually fun-loving and kind, but that changes suddenly and without warning. Ava speaks and acts like a human when she uses her illusion to look like one. She acts as a translator between pokemon and Jay.
Ability: Illusion
Moves: Night Daze, Night Slash, Taunt, Copycat

Pokemon Name: Tyranitar
Nickname: Gula
Gender: M

Appearance:

Any other notable distinction:
Gula doesn't care about doing anything. Nonsense and frivolity pisses him off. So basically, his emotions range from apathy to homicide and back again. He is the only one capable of matching Ava in brute strength, but he has none of her speed or planning. His normal strategy is to tank everything and end battles in one attack. You do not want to be on the receiving end of one of his Hyper Beam. You will die.
Ability: Sand Stream
Moves: Stone Edge, Dig, Surf, Hyper beam

Pokemon Name: Vaporeon
Nickname: Luxuria "Lux"
Gender: F

Appearance:

Any other notable distinction:
Lux is a spoiled little brat. It's totally Ava's fault. She may be the weakest out of Jay's pokemon, but underestimate her and you lose. Jay developed the strategy she uses in battle, which he's dubbed "mist armor". Lux holds considerable power of Jay's other pokemon, as she is the only one who doesn't have to fear Ava's wrath.
Ability: Water Absorb
Moves: Mist, Acid Armor, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam

Pokemon Name: Gardevoir
Nickname: Solitaire "Sol"
Gender: F

Appearance:

Any other notable distinction:
That image does not convey the crazy that is inside Solitaire. Sol is obsessed with Jay. She kind of got her original trainer, the person who bred and hatched and evolved her, nearly killed, and she felt all of his thoughts and emotions as it happened. And she enjoyed it. She could have stopped Jay, should have, but she didn't want to. Solitaire is good friends with Ava, but sees her as a romantic rival for Jay. Sol has only ever known love by what her old trainer taught her, so that's what she thinks will happen with Jay. Ava knows this but hasn't said anything to Jay. She wants to see what he does.
Ability: Trace
Moves: Psyshock, Moonblast, Teleport, Wish

Pokemon Name: Talonflame
Nickname: Acedia "Ace"
Gender: M

Appearance:

Any other notable distinction:
Yes, Jay has a flyer. Ace is his name, and speed is his game. Ace burns his opponents first, then uses his blinding speed to accumulate thousands of tiny attacks in seconds, there and gone before the opponent even has a chance to react. Instead of the normal way, Jay rides Ace by standing on his back in a way similar to a snowboard. A flaming, flying snowboard.
Ability: Gale Wings
Moves: Flame Charge, Flare Blitz, Brave Bird, Me First

[onionsamurai]

Alrighty, cool cool. Can't wait to see some nice character sheets.

[IVIasterJay]

I got mine up. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to go with my loving Gardevoir or my murderous one, so I chose both. Yandere Gardy will kill us all.

[onionsamurai]

Your character is looking good. I'm gonna give it so more time and then after maybe two days I'll decided on who is accepted.

Also your profile sheet showed my fear of this RP. Adding info on the pokemon makes it so huge. I am gonna have to find out a way to make the other trainers more organized.

Probably gonna have to put everything in the Character Sheet section of RPGuild.

[IVIasterJay]

Pokemon RPs can get real crazy real fast. One character with six pokemon is really more like having seven characters. A handful of characters each with six pokemon... is a lot of handfuls.

[onionsamurai]

Oh yeah, I know the pain of pokemon RP's. I had one on the old site that went on for about a year. Max amount of people we had at one point was 20 and trying to keep them all happy and interested was almost impossible. That's why I've decided to keep this one down to a minimum of 3.

[cautious cretin]

Wow 20 is incredible, I can't begin to imagine the chaos

Just starting my character and want her to be from kanto, what version of kantos layout are you using, generation 1 or generation 4?

I know you are creating your own world but don't want to step on any toes

[onionsamurai]

Gen 4.

[onionsamurai]

Well there was a message here, but I accidentally skipped the one line that was super important to the point that I just made. Making it a pointless point. So this is edited.

[onionsamurai]

Bump to see if any more interest. Want to get this start fairly soon.

[Chezka]

I made Juliette specifically as a sideline character, so I hope it's alright that I went this direction instead of opting for a normal trainer.

Juliette McIver

Name: Juliette McIver
Age: 19
Gender: Female

Why you were accepted:
Juliette was invited to the Mande Region under unique circumstances. Unlike the others, she was allowed to enter not because of her prowess as a trainer, even though she has shown great potential in training her Pokemon, but because of her technological expertise. Despite how eccentric and sometimes downright airheaded she may seem, Juliette is actually an engineering genius. She is known throughout Unova for her incomparable technological innovations... and also for her quirky habits, but that's beside the point.

After graduating from a prestigious tech academy in Unova at only fourteen years old, the Pokemon Researcher Bill approached her and personally took her in as his protégée. He taught her everything he could, and even traveled with her to expose her to the different types of technological advancements specific to each region. Under Bill's tutelage, Juliette was able to dabble in many different fields and get hands-on experience with industry-standard technology. During those five years, she has made considerable contributions in the development of the holo caster and has made improvement upon gadgets like the Xtransceiver and the Pokedex. She also has several prototypes under her belt, which are currently being tested and iterated upon even now.

Juliette was sent to the Mande Region in order to spearhead the maintenance of the region's Pokemon Storage System. She had recently optimized the system and managed to increase storage space, so she was the first choice for the job.

Pokemon:



Klefki
Nickname: Lockhart, or Locke
Gender: Male
Ability: Prankster
Bio: Carefree and fun-loving, Locke is usually quick to go along with his trainers whims. He's often in a playful mood, but if Juliette is ever in danger, he becomes overprotective and serious. Juliette and Locke have been together for as long as she can remember. In fact, her mom once told her that Locke hatched the same day she was born, and that they've been inseparable since. She doesn't know if that was another of her mom's tall tales, but it is true that Locke has been her constant companion. From kindergarten to her academy days, the sprightly Klefki has always been there to support her. Long story short, he's family. Juliette can't imagine not having him by her side.

The two of them are definitely kindred spirits. Locke is perhaps the only one able to get in the same wavelength as his odd trainer, which is actually quite a feat, considering how scattered and random the girl's way of thinking is. He can anticipate when she's about to go into her engineering mode—a state in which Juliette is fixated on her craft and forgets everything else, even eating and sleeping—and knows how to snap her out of it. He can read her like a book, and just one glance is enough for him to tell her current mood. He can even understand her when she starts spouting nonsense! Their tight bond is a blessing during battles.

Other: Locke's most treasured item is a small toy screwdriver keychain, the one Juliette used to play with as a child. He doesn't let anyone touch it.



Porygon-Z
Nickname: Crypto, but Juliette usually just calls him C
Gender: N/A
Bio: Juliette got C to evolve using a boot disk that contains a program she wrote, although it was mostly by accident—she's pretty sure (like, 99.5% sure) she can't replicate it. C is as absentminded as they come, and is rather clumsy as well. It is always earnestly trying to help others, but because of its klutziness, it usually ends up making bigger a mess. Juliette likes to coddle it, especially when it gets startled and goes into a panicked frenzy.



Rotom
Nickname: Tinkerer, or just Tink
Gender: N/A
Bio: Restless and overly energetic, Tink likes to keep moving. It absolutely hates staying in one form for more than a few days, so Juliette has to set up a 'transformation station' for it wherever they go (which is harder than you'd think, considering she has to purchase new appliances every time she stays at a different region). Tink is her engineering partner. It likes to join her whenever she's working on new inventions, and the two of them experiment on her inventions all the time.



Golurk
Nickname: Titan
Gender: N/A
Bio: Titan is the epitome of a gentle giant. Protective and nurturing, it treats Juliette like its child and fusses over her constantly. It's like that for her other Pokemon, as well. Titan acts like a mother hen; it scolds the others (Juliette included) when they're too rowdy and soothes them when they're troubled.



Starmie
Nickname: Nova
Gender: N/A
Bio: Nova is meticulous with its appearance. It likes to preen and always ensures that its gem is perfectly polished. It often acts haughty, especially in front of people and Pokemon it isn't familiar with, but those who know better have seen that it has a surprisingly meek side. Nova gets along with Titan the best, most likely because it feels like the others are too exuberant and childish for its standards.



Genesect
Nickname: Juliette can't name Genesect, but she likes to call it Genny or Gen.
Gender: N/A
Bio: Juliette met Genesect when she visited one of her academy's labs. It was put there for protection after the whole Team Plasma incident transpired, but it was starting to feel suffocated after years of confinement. After being assigned to make tweaks on the cannon that was attached to it, she and Genesect bonded and she managed to befriend it not long after. The scientists in charge of Genesect saw that her companionship was having a positive effect on Genesect, so they decided to temporarily leave it under her care.

Genesect is unexpectedly very naïve and often falls for Locke and Tink's pranks. It hasn't gotten a lot of chances to see the current world, so it's always amazed by everything it sees.

[onionsamurai]

That's a good looking character, Chezka. I think she'll fit in pretty good already with the two characters made. Also really like the whole Red, Yellow, Blue hair thing we got going on.

So I feel like I am gonna start this RP by tomorrow. So if anyone else wish to be in the runnings for a character in this RP now is your chance to do so.

[cautious cretin]

Hi just to let you know I won't be submitting a character as when I read over Jays character to see if they would mesh I found they we're incredibly similar

As such in the interest of diversity and the fact that chezkas character would be a far better foil for him than mine I will be an avid spectator instead

Good luck to all :)

[onionsamurai]

Well I do believe it's safe to say that Jay and Chezka will be the two in the game. Jay you are the one doing the challenge since Chezka awesomely made a sideline character. So I hope all three of us have fun playing this RP and I will have the OOC up by tomorrow mid-day for me.

[Chezka]

Can't wait! :D
I might update my CS later, to add abilities and a little more detail for Juliette's Pokemon.

[onionsamurai]

Sorry about the slight delay. Was away from the computer all day and couldn't really do a well done OOC on mobile. But I am going to have the OOC up and running here shortly. Just gotta create all the towns and what not and the starting point. Along with the first IC post. So just to get confirmation, MasterJay are you still in?

[onionsamurai]

Pokemon: League of Champions

Here is the OOC, not much but more will be added as we progress through. Please post your character sheets there Masterjay and Chezka. And hopefully we have a very fun experience.

[Silver Fox]

Mhmm darn too late to put in my interest. Awe well whenever you have a opening is be interested to join between one of my characters ^^
