Gym Leader University of Orre

NOTE THAT I AM STILL SEEKING A COGM FOR ASSISTANCE RUNNING THIS THING!!

"It is my great pleasure to welcome you, all of you, to the first semester ever, here at Orre's Gym Leader University. I, headmaster Steven Stone, would like to wish you all the best of luck in the coming months. Each and every one of you right now has equal potential, to be part of a new generation of Gym Leaders. One that truly challenges trainers, as well as providing your own teaching, helping the world of Pokemon battling grow and evolve. You are all here because of exceptional potential, both in battling and the care of your Pokemon, and I will be happy to see each of you reach it."

Steven stepped off the podium after his acceptance speech and went to the back room, letting the faculty members go up and give their spiel. "Damn, I hope these get easier as the years go on. Public speaking is not my forte." And out front in the hall, a mob of hundreds of trainers prepared for the journey to come.

And now, let me welcome you all to my roleplay. As you can tell, this is a Pokemon school setting, but with an overarching plot planned, plenty of potential for battles and character development, as well as a large amount of freedom given to the players.

GLU is a two year program to condense all of Pokemon battling theory as well as caretaking into a single curriculum, designed so that every alumni has potential to become a gym leader of any region. GLU promotes a new style, discouraging type specialization and encouraging each trainer to find their own team that can be a consistent challenge to any trainer that comes knocking on the door. While rivalries between students are permitted, friendship is as well, because Steven knows all to well he does not want the best battling prodigies to be against each other. Should a certain shadowy organization come to corrupt them...

---

Welcome to GLU! My personal Pokemon setting. Yes, it's a boarding school style RP, yes, it's also Pokemon. And yes, it will get dark when Shadow Pokemon show up. Basic stuff I think. below will be collected all the necessary information.

RULES
1. I rule my RP's with an Iron fist, and also a fist made of puppies and rainbows, I try to keep them in balance. So don't give me reason to break out the iron fist
2. Proper spelling and grammar is required for all RP related text, that means character sheets, and IC posts.
3. Pokemon battles should be logically resolved OOC, and then played out IC.
4. Have Fun =)

Appearance:
Name: Terry Summers
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Biography: Terry comes from Rustboro town in Hoenn. His parents both worked for the Devon corporation, fairly low level desk jobs. Not very unusual for Rustboro. Terry always played outside with the children from the trainers school, though he never had a pokemon of his own. His parents never considered getting him one. One day in Petalburg woods his friends and him found an incredibly rare pokemon, a Treecko. Terry was fascinated with the creature, more than other pokemon, and a friend of his caught it and gave it to him. Finally with a Pokemon of his own, he immediately set out to challenge Roxanne... and got promptly stomped.

For an entire year he trained out with his Aaron, his Treecko, studying at the trainers school with his friends, and learning as much about Pokemon battling as he could. He developed a unique style, teaching Aaron to act without direct orders when necessary, something that would throw off other trainers and Pokemon who would react to command cues, When he came back to battle Roxanne, he came with both his Treecko and an Aron, and emerged victorious, quite handily (the Aron never came into play) Roxanne was impressed, but concealed it from the young trainer.

He left home to venture around Hoenn, setting his sights on Petalburg next, Aron and Treecko got him all the way through to the end, and immediately before starting his battle with Norman, Aaron evolved. Giving the edge they needed to acquire a second badge. Norman asked Terry about himself, and Terry told him about his battle with Roxanne and his past with his Pokemon. Norman had heard about the kid's unusual style from Roxanne, and offered him a deal. If Terry would work to become a strong trainer, Norman would recommend him to the GLU for it's first year of students. With the additional gift of an Eevee. Terry took the offer and had six months until he left for GLU.

During that time, he continued training, learning the capabilities of Grovyle and Eevee, in his researched, he learned of Eevee's peculiar properties, and decided to find an evolution to round out his team. Hearing rumors of an ice type form, he spent a week ascending and training at the peak of meteor falls, one of the only cold locations in Hoenn, and acquired his Glaceon with only a few days before he had to leave for GLU.
Personality: Terry is a hard worker with a dedication to his Pokemon and battling, firmly believing that a trainer's relationship with their team is the key to victory. He has spent a lot of time making sure all his Pokemon know what to do even without direct orders, based on either the flow of battle or more subtle cues. He tries to make friends with every Pokemon and trainer he comes across, and disapproves of hostile rivalries in general.
Notable Possessions: Pokenav watch from the Devon Corporation.
Battle Theme:
Other: Can let his Pokemon battle without words, Aaron is the best at it.

I was mostly asking because I wanted to make a character that had a history with Cipher. Wouldn't want to do that and then find out that Cipher hasn't even done anything yet.

Let's say Cipher went underground again 5 years ago (events of XD)

So uh, how long after the events of Colosseum/XD does this take place?

pokemon timelines are ambiguous, lets say it's currently the furthest point in the pokemon timeline

also yeah, teaching at a prestigious college would be like, people who were elite 4 members or considered for the position or something.

Sceptile vs GalladeBattle of the blades

Sceptile is my all time favorite Pokemon, and the OG user of Leaf Blade, my all time favorite move, Plus his mega is really freaking cool (but lackluster stat and ability wise, I really wish it got Contrary like in that fangame. though that would be horrifically broken.

I was thinking of having my teacher be less Pokemon oriented and more focused on like gym leader responsibility. Sort of like the role they play in the community. What do you think of that?It kind of depends on how much time we expect them to spend teaching, cause I'm not sure I can handle coming up with that much philosophical content. I also had a silly idea to have a teacher for coming up with gym puzzles, but that was just a passing joke. I'd like that first one I mentioned but if we cant make it work I think I'd like the subject of overcoming type weaknesses.

gym puzzles are a thing, it's a leader's responsibility to challenge trainers in more than just battle.

and here's my done CS

anyway, they should have at least one badge. and made an impact on the leaders they have battled. GLU is based on gym leader referral.

EDIT: Sidenote, I just realized that I forgot to put gender on the pokemon details, put that in, if you wish.

I didn't mean exactly 20 pokemon on every teachers team lol, also that's kinda young for a master of pokemon willing to teach don't you think?
