Pokemon: In The Shadow of a Rainbow

I love randomness though! It makes things more exciting and suspenseful!

Pokemon: In The Shadow of a Rainbow

I was wondering that :) kind of like when Onyx happened to be in a puddle of water and Pikachu's thunderbolt dominated the rock-type. Cool, this will be fun! I'm also really excited to see how everyone's team develops throughout the RP!

Pokemon: In The Shadow of a Rainbow

I have actually never done a Pokemon RP before, so I'm excited to see what I can come up with. I've played the games ALL my life, but RPing is different than gaming :) I think it'll be really fun. Is the battling like a play by play posting? Or will we just kind of write about everything we would do (without GMing) and then wait for a counter?

Nice post, Radd :] I just finished editing my own as well. I always catch little grammar mistakes as I read through the submitted post. >< I know there are still some hiding in there, but whatevs. It's finished.

Pokemon: In The Shadow of a Rainbow

Jorie waited patiently as Michael addressed the members of their little group, although the tips of her fingers twitched along her palms in excitement. When Michael waved for them to follow, Jorie wasted no time and made her way to the front. Maren looked up at Elekid longingly and then to his trainer as she skirted away. He let out an exasperated sound, wishing so much to play, but obediently tailed after Jorie. The clean sound of the automatic doors opening sent a shiver of delight through Jorie's body. She walked inside the HQ Lab, a slight whoosh of crisp air teasing the bangs that hung in her face, and stood silently beside Michael. Jorie couldn't take in the magnificence with her eyes quickly enough, and her neck craned from side to side rapidly. When Michael mentioned the lab's daycare center, Maren perked up from beneath Jorie's feet. The small Pokémon bleated joyfully up at the Professor. Mareep! Mareep! Jorie smiled down at her companion and then looked back to Michael. "I don't know who's more excited for this tour, Professor. Me or Maren?"

Jorie giggled sweetly, the echo filling the large lobby like the sound of tinkling bells. Michael urged the group forward down one of the lab's corridors. Jorie looked back at the group and waved eagerly. "Come on, Slowpokes!" She chuckled at her own corny humor and skipped after Michael like a faithful puppy. The hall was pristine in every sense of the word. It smelled and looked like it had recently been cleaned. The sharp scent of cleaning chemicals filled Jorie and Maren's nostrils. Michael passed one of the many windows that lined the walls, and Maren stopped short in front of one. The curious Mareep stood up on two legs, trying in vain to look through the glass, and wiggled his body in frustration. Jorie paused, and walked over to the window that Maren was struggling to see through. She saw two scientists conversing on the other side. Their brows were furrowed in concentration, and Jorie noticed a sense of nervousness in their posture and gestures to one another. She scooped Maren into her arms and turned towards Michael questioningly. "What exactly are they working on, Professor? Does it have something to do with the Pokémon Purification?"

Maren's rounded nose pressed up against the glass as Jorie spoke. She pulled away from the window, and Mareep voiced his discontent. Maa! Jorie's emerald eyes were large and bright as she waited for Michael's response. She peered at the other trainers out of the corner of her eye, each one following behind the other at a decent pace, and shrugged her shoulders. "Well you guys certainly aren't practicing your agility are you?" Jorie crooked her lips into a sly smile and winked playfully at the other trainers. She cradled Maren snugly in her arms as curiosity began to creep steadily into her mind.

Pokemon: In The Shadow of a Rainbow

Jorie wriggled anxiously in her seat as the creaky old bus whined down the lonely road. Clouds of menacing dust seeped in through her open window and caused the tiny girl to let out a violent series of sneezes. In the frenzy, Maren's glossy green Pokéball slipped from the gear belt attached to Jorie's waist and collided with the floor. In an instant, the red and gold designs on the Friend Ball disappeared and were replaced by a bright flash of light. As Jorie's eyes adjusted she looked down into Maren's puzzled face. The abnormally small Mareep tilted its head to one side and bleated quietly in question. Maaa-reeep? Jorie wiped her palms across her watery eyes and bent over to retrieve Maren from the bus floor. Just as she did so, the bus driver ran straight through a large pothole that sent Maren bouncing upwards into her outstretched arms. Jorie's body hit the seat of her chair with a solid thump and she immediately started giggling. Maren wiggled his tail with delight and his bulb lit up with happy electricity. Jorie stroked his ears gently as she settled herself back into the leather seat.

Maren's nose twitched and he lifted himself up onto her shoulder to peer towards the back of the bus. He could smell the smoke from Rai's singed hair and vibrated with energy at seeing a fellow electric Pokémon. Jorie was about to turn around when the bus came screeching to a stop in front of the HQ Lab. Rai rushed forward before anyone had a chance to get up and Jorie noticed the feisty Elekid clinging to his backpack. She put one hand under Maren securely and leaped from her seat eagerly. "Hey! Wait for us!" She dashed forward and stumbled down the stairs clumsily. In her haste, she realized she had forgotten to thank their driver. Jorie turned quickly on her heels and peered up into the emptying bus. "Thanks for the ride sir." Jorie winked at the friendly old man before turning to pace towards Rai, Elekid, and Michael.

Jorie stopped and stood shoulder to shoulder with the unfamiliar boy and his Elekid. Maren jumped from her arms onto the floor and stared up at the trainer's Pokémon. He bounced around beneath Rai's feet, and the small bulb on the tip of his tail lit up in excitement. Jorie stared open-mouthed at Michael, unable to form words in front of the infamous hero. Thoughts and questions rattled around in her brain at supersonic speed as she tried to listen to his introduction. Jorie shook her head abruptly, as if shaking the shock away, and forced her hand into Michael's. She shook with one hand and held their shake tight with the other, smiling fully into Michael's eyes the entire time. "I'm Jorie, from Agata Village, I've heard so many great things about you! Did you really save Orre from Cipher and the Shadow Pokémon all those years ago? Wowza, this is unbelievable."

Jorie released their hands and stood back to take in the splendor of the Pokémon HQ. The proud building glinted in the sunlight and Jorie had to squint her eyes to avoid the blinding glimmers of light. She nodded her head and smiled approvingly. "I could definitely get used to this." Maren began to weave his way in between Rai's legs, the static from his wool sending tiny pinpricks of shock up the boy's pants. Jorie looked down at Maren sternly. "Calm down, Maren. You'll have plenty of time to play later." She turned towards the stranger and smiled sweetly. "Sorry about him, he's just excited. I'm Jorie, by the way, and that's Maren." She gestured towards the playful Mareep. "Rai, is it? Well, it's a pleasure to meet you." Jorie turned and observed the other kids making their way off the bus. "It's a pleasure to meet you all, of course!" Her emerald eyes met Michael's once more as she mouthed the words. You the most.
