Pokemon: The Giga Legend Saga

Nero was startled by the sudden appearance of a flamboyant figure; dressed in... odd clothes to say the least and carrying with himself a similarly odd attitude, the first thing Nero realized about this boy was that they certainly wouldn't get along. Identifying the french grettings, Nero instinctively brought a hand up - pushing the boy back, while taking two steps back away from him, all to avoid the attempt of what seemed to be a kiss. No matter what sort of culture he had, no one would ever get so uncomfortably close to Nero - it was simply... uncomfortable.

The boy moved his other hand towards his belt, placing the pokéball he held, containing his newly found Cyndaquil, in the second slot. Eevee's black, neatly designed pokéball was in the first slot. With narrowed eyes and furrowed brows, Nero gave the boy in front of him a look-over, taking note of his appearance, clothes... What was he doing in here? He certainly didn't look like a trainer, neither someone who wanted to be a trainer. Hell, he introduced himself as a star.

"I have absolutely no idea of who you are... And, neither do I care."

The words came off with a dangerously dry tone, but Nero wasn't being an ass on purpose. He simply judged on first impression, a mistake he kept repeating. And to him, Andre's first impression was the one of a wannabe trainer: Someone who truly desired to become powerful, but wouldn't ever succeed.

"Now, if you'll excuse me..."

As he spun around to face the laboratory's door, the young trainer began to walk away without another word, ready to begin his adventure, finally. He already knew what to do: Strengthen his bond with Cyndaquil, eventually gaining it's trust, by training. Naturally.

Unless someone interrupted him, that is.

Ahahaha,

I will post in a few. Don't expect a lot of interaction, though.

With the 'come and get what you need' bit, Nero was certain; he'd better take a starter as well. Sure, his Eevee was an exceptional pokémon, but the more, the merrier - especially when it came to pokémon and their types. The boy began tracing a quick plan on his mind, mostly focusing on which pokémon he would find soon - to avoid picking a starter of the same type - as well as mentalizing what his 'team' would eventually be. Piplup was already chosen by someone, but that wasn't a high-interest, even though the water/steel combination of it's last stage evolution was pretty good.

Torchic and Chimchar were both Fire types that eventually became Fire/Fighting, both were heavily considered, but Nero always preferred special attack based fire types. Cyndaquil, for example, was a nice choice. It had extremely powerful moves and developed exceptionally well with the proper training. For more variety, Fennekin became a Fire/Psychic combination...

After a few more seconds of thought, Nero stepped towards the pokéballs, whenever they are. His eyes ran through each pokéball, the boy raised a hand to adjust gis glasses, the Eevee tilted it's head to the side, giving the boy a curious look. He nodded to the brown pokémon and took a step foward, taking in his hand Cyndaquil's pokéball.

"I will take this one, Professor." He murmured, nodding firmly.

Only starting trainers are getting their starters.

The reason that Nero and Barnabas are going back is because they need their Pokedexes.

Please at least wait for me or Joshua to be here to continue the RP.

Even if you already have a pokemon, you can take a starter. :)

@Trainer N

Nero will actually take one now, though. Can't be left that behind q.q

What starters have been chosen already? I'm afraid of picking someone's favorite.

eh I got impatient.

Pokemon: The Giga Legend Saga

Just so I'm clear, all the new trainers arriving are getting a 'Dex and a new starter? I already have pokemon, including a final form evolution, so do I still get one? Just waiting on that before I post, which I'll do asap.

And what are you guys n gals likely to be posting like? Is this gonna be a 1 post per day kind of thing? Or just as and when just go for it?

@Time Flies

I believe only trainers who are starting should get a starter, even if they already own a non convencional starter, as long as they're not uber or something.. But its entirely up to N.

Pokemon: The Giga Legend Saga

And get utterly obliterated, but sure thing haha

Pokemon: The Giga Legend Saga

How much grinding are you doing to be 10-20 levels ahead? I'm usually behind. xD Maybe because I try to avoid the random trainers on the road so I can conserve my Pokemon's HP for battles that are required.

I'll post IC when I can. I have a lot of writing to do...

@Crimson Flame

Well, to be honest - my team usually consisted of 4 pokémon. The two others were fillers, for HM moves. And I always battle everything. Always!

Even in this RP, I will battle all of you

Pokemon: The Giga Legend Saga

I used to do that, but now, I always have like 20~30 pokémon I train simultaneously. Not only it makes the game more challenging because you aren't 10~20 levels ahead, but it's also better to have a lot of options xD

Pokemon: The Giga Legend Saga

Piplup, nice! I always picked that one in Platinum. q.q
