Will be getting something in tonight, sorry for the delay. Had a longer weekend than usual and now catching up to everything. :B

Fly Me to Mt. Moon: A Pokémon Experience

Jensen "JJ" Joy

Male | JJ | 16

Appearance:

Broad shoulders and with a frame of five-eight, JJ is a well-grown (and still growing) young man. He's often outfitted in plain tee's, a pair of jeans or khaki joggers, and sporting a jacket of some kind. Inheriting the signature trait from the Joy family gene pool, JJ has a head full of rose pink hair, but with a pair of indigo eyes, compliments of his mother dark haired, chocolate eyed mother.

Background:

JJ was born and raised in Celadon City. His father is a professor at Celadon University, where he teaches and lectures on Pokemon biology, and his mother a botanist who spends half her days at the university and the other half at the Celadon City gym. For as long as he could remember, JJ spent his childhood at the Celadon City gym, running around and playing with the Pokemon there, having adopted a strong affinity to them. He loved watching all the trainers who came and took on the gym challenge, expressing that if he got the chance he would take on the challenge himself.

At the age of ten, JJ was enrolled by his father to the Pokémon School in Alola, to give him an opportunity to grow and learn as much about Pokemon as possible. His father hoped to ignite a passion for Pokemon medicine in his son, to follow down their family path, but instead it grew the flame of Pokemon battling instead.

Now graduated, he returned back to Kanto in hopes of starting an adventure to become one of the strongest Pokemon trainers from the region, hoping to one day return to Alola to take on the Island challenges.

Personality:

As a member of the Joy family, JJ didn't just inherit their signature pink hair, but also their genuinely kind, earnest, and honest outlook and personality. JJ is extremely passionate about Pokemon like most Joy's, but has found a fondness for Pokemon battling, opposite of the rest of his family tree. A dreamer who wants to soar the highest of peaks and who can be as stubborn as a tauros when it comes to his dream, JJ honestly just wants to make his family proud, no matter where he ends up.

Henry was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. His parents owned a small, corner street Chinese restaurant called Bamboo Garden. They worked hard to put him through college, where he attended UC Berkeley. There he met and fell in love with Daniela. She was an upperclassmen who strung him along for fun, but he was too infatuated to care. Daniela finally gave Henry a chance and the two started dating, with every high there was a matching low, until a slip up that brought Aria into their lives.

After college Henry and Daniela married and moved back to Atlanta to raise Aria with the help of his parents, but soon their relationship troubles soured. Daniela was unhappy and wanted more with her life. She wanted to see the world and find herself, telling Henry that he had become too complacent with his parents around and forgot about her. Trying his best to salvage whatever he could just wasn't enough to keep Daniela as she wanted out and wasn't willing to change her mind. His heart cracked when she left, but his daughter was the glue holding him together and he wasn't going to let her down.

Now Henry solely devotes himself to Aria, his parents, and his job. Everything else he has put on the back burner, hoping to provide the best life he can for those around him.

So what do the rest of us post? Are we hearing this lecture too?

Oh how convenient. Tikaani lives in the South Pole.

@Crimson Flame

Nah, yall should be doing whatever yah want, then meeting up at the stable.

An Earth Bender all the way in the South Pole where there is no Earth to Bend for who knows how far under all that ice and snow, this will be fun haha.

Just need to try and figure out what to post now.

@BigPapaBelial

It's more so just near, not exactly in the South Pole. The Southern Air Temple doesn't have much snow.

Post is up, let me know if you have any questions. Also something not mentioned in my post, the outpost that our faction of the White Lotus is staying is around the Southern Air Temple, so near the South Pole/Southern Water Tribe.

"Remember, you aren't the only team out there searching for the Avatar. But you must be the first to find them."

"Yes, sir." Hao responded, respectfully bowing to his father's orders. "I'll do whatever it takes."

"If your squad is the one who finds the Avatar, our family will reap the benefits for many years to come. We'll also have the debt of the White Lotus and the Avatar." His father reiterated. The idea was concocted many years ago, when Avatar Ria had passed, that once the search of the new Avatar began Hao would be the one to find. His father strongly believed and almost knew for a fact that being the one to find and bring the new Avatar in would bring power and influence into the family, and breathe new life into the dying oak tree. "Those are things that are hard to come by these days."

"I understand." Hao said. Haoran Li had a lot barring down on his shoulders as not only a member of the White Lotus, but also a member of the Li family, which had been ingrained in the secret society since it's inception centuries ago. Hao's father was pressuring him to bring honor to their family name, which something that he couldn't do himself. It pained Hao to see his father act so desperate in search of power, but knowing how much his family has sacrificed as well made him realize his father's perseverance.

The young branch of the Li tree listened to his father's orders diligently. Young and new teams were being formed sent throughout the Fire Nation to find the new Avatar and Hao was selected to lead one of them. He knew next to nothing about his team other than the fact that most were newer and younger members than himself, but Hao wasn't going to let that stop him from accomplishing his mission.

Listening to the rest of his father's lecture and giving final his goodbyes, Hao retreated back to his quarters to finish the last of his packing. With his father's position and influence in the White Lotus, he didn't have to sleep in the barracks with other young members, something that he never really contemplated on how it affected his relationships with others until now. Was he really suited to lead a team, was he ready for it? Questions attacked his mind and flurried his thinking, but it was too late for all these questions. He had to prove his worth and had to show that his family was more capable than what other's thought.

Packing the last of his gear and clothes into his rucksack, Hao hurried his way to the Li family air bison stables where he had informed his teams to meet. Again, with the backing of his father his team was one of the only teams lucky enough to have an air bison, while others had to use airships or boats to find their way into the Fire Nation. Their assigned destination was a cluster of islands off the eastern part of the Fire Nation, heading to the town of Shu Jing first and following leads after that.

A low grunt and yawn rang through the air as Hao neared the stables. The flying bison that his team was taking was going to be Yuya, one of the most dependable and by far the most playful of bison in the stable.

"You'll take good care of us right?" Hao cooed, petting the larger than life bison.

Hey, so I don’t mean to be a pest but... it’s Monday. How’s that going?

@Crimson Flame

Yeah, you aren't being a pest. I had a longer weekend than I thought, but working on things right now!

Pokemon Adventures: Hoenn And Beyond!

_{Location: Route 101}

"Haru?" Soren repeated, giving Yuu a thumbs up of approval for the adorable name for the even more adorable Wurmple. "That's a great name!"

"From what I know of wurmple's they have two evolution chains," Soren said as they continued on their trek through Route 101. "I wonder which yours is going to go down." The lush forests thrived as Soren kept his eye open for any Pokemon of interest. He noticed prancing Zigzagoon and Poochyena as they day went on, but didn't take a real interest in either.

Soon the group came onto a clearing in the forest filled with a large pond in the middle, recognizing it as the area where the pair first met. On nearing the pond you could hear commands ringing through the air.

"Low-low, let's try it one more time. Focus on your aim. Go for the rocks." The voice echoed. "Alright, here we go."

On the edge of the pond stood a young boy in a green cap, holding one large rock in his arms and having a few placed around his feet, while a taillow flew a few feet away from him above the pond. A low grunt erupted from the boy as he granny-shot the rock as high as he could towards his avian partner. The taillow cawing back as it's wings began glowing a bright, silvery coat, swiftly doing a few aerial acrobats before striking the rock in half.

"That was a great Steel Wing, Low-low!" The boy cheered. "We're so close to mastering it!"
