@Zarkun

The police thanked Jason for what he had done and for his efforts, they healed his Pokemon and was rewarded a small sum of money. Jason did not have to help the Totodile out, but because he did, he was rewarded for it.

Jason earned 1000P!


It appears the dice haved favored Jason yet again.

Now back to the Totodile. The poor blight felt completely at unease knowing that someone came after it and escaped. Who knows where it would've taken it and what would've happened! And this guy was tough and moving from place to place meant less chances to be poached. He also seemed like a good enough guy.

"Toto!" It agreed to accompany Jason on its journey.

It rolled once... it rolled twice...it rolled thrice!



What does Jason do now?








@Lunarlord34

What the fuck did this girl say?

Nurse Joy looked at the fledgling trainer with a smile, but behind that she was as perplexed as anyone would give the situation though perhaps that was a good thing considering what Steph just did to Dusk and Dennis. "I-I see... Please take a seat. We will heal your Pokemon shortly."

So, Steph sat down and waited for her Pokemon to come out. She should've probably stopped by a pharmacy, or a general store get something to patch her scrapes up. It's a shame, but Pokemon Centers do not give people treatment unless there is a dire situation because let's face it, they were basically government funded veterinarians.

While she did not seem to notice her own scrapes, stinging as they were, someone else did.

"Excuse me, do you need some help?" Steph was approached by a girl that was around her own age. She had wavy black hair and gentle crimson eyes that sparkled in the light. She wore a white, sleeveless blouse, a lavender skirt that reached slightly past her knees, and black closed toe sandles. This girl was remarkably pretty, but also tall as hell, like God damn she could make a killing back in Unova as a basketball player.

"Let me help. That looks like it hurts a bit." She didn't wait for an answer and honestly, even if Steph did give an answer, the girl wouldn't have been able to understand a word that she said. The girl rummaged through her bag and pulled out a bottle of antibiotic ointment and a pack of bandages that had cute little stylized Panchams on them. "It's going to sting a bit." The girl applied previously said ointment and placed the bandages on her.

"Ta da! All fixed up!" She said with a bright smile.


@samreaper

Tristan threw the Pokeball as hard as his weak, feeble noodly excuse of arms could muster! The Pokeball bonked on the stunned Riolue's head and was absorbed in a stream of white light before it fell on the ground. It started to shake.

It rolled once... it rolled twice...it rolled thrice!



Astrid clapped for Tristan seeing as this was probably his first ever catch. "Good job, but I won't lie, that was definitely one of the shakier first times that I have seen. If I had to grade it, I'd give it a C." She said with a giggle, partly saying this in jest. It was not necessarily fair to say that he did a bad job, but dear lord was he a panicky, clumsy mess. But, you did catch it, so congratulations are in order.

Well, they would've been, but there was a girl and her shiny Tyrunt that was making a poor Blipbug's soul ascend from its body from pure agonizing fear. Tristan probably recognized her from the lab. Maybe. I don't know. He was pretty so self-absorbed he may have not noticed her.

"Oh for the love of... Miss!" And there went Astrid, running towards that girl. It looked like she was a receiving a lecture.

What does he do now?








@CitrusArms

The poor little Blipbug was scared out of its fucking mind. It was shaking like a leaf in the wind and looked at Stella as if she had Krabby's crawling out of her ears. Blipbug was minding its own business when this big-jawed thing grabbed it with its mouth, was tossed onto the creature's head, and now here it was.

It was far too scared to even run off. Also, what the fuck is a Tyrunt? Stella was forgetting for as smart as a Blipbug it is, it does not have knowledge of Pokemon that should have been extinct and not walking the modern world with flesh and scales around its bones for it was an absolute defiance of the laws of nature. Essentially, the Blipbug was repeatedly asking itself 'what the fuck is that' in its head. It was not like this Bug Pokemon had the ability to go to a library and read a book about ancient Pokemon.

Wait, these things eat meat?

The Blipbug was now sweating bullets and looked like it was going to faint from pure fear. Thankfully, there was someone who saw this disaster and approached the green trainer and her ancient Pokemon.

"Miss, could you please put the Blipbug down?" A woman approached the duo with the understandably concerned expression on her face. She had long, straight brown hair and round glasses that had soft blue eyes behind them. She was dressed in brown slacks, black dress shoes, and a powder blue button up shirt. She had the air of a teacher and definitely had the stern tone of one.

"While you can catch the Pokemon here. I will not permit you to terrorize them." While it would be sort of excusable for a new trainer to not be able to control their new starter, she did not think Stella was one. Why? Because who in the fresh hell would be mad enough to give a new trainer a Tyrunt?

Meanwhile, Kapoc sneezed in his lab.


@Sanguine Rose

An inspiration? Was that how people saw him?

Basil smiled awkwardly, saying "I'd appreciate that."

He watched Faye survey the area for the perfect spot to take the photo, which she did of course. She had Basil and Vex move around and pose the way she told him to and brought his best, handsome smile that he had. Faye wanted a picture of him so badly, he couldn't let her down with a sheepish smile.

She certainly looked happy with how the photo came out, much to his relief. He also received a link to her social media accounts and her website, as well as received a notification sound from his Pokedex, which was very likely her tagging him. Basil would of course look at it later because it was absolutely rude to pull out what is pretty much a phone when someone is speaking to you. Tristan.

When asked about her taking photos of the rest of his team, Basil appeared very physically unsure with that idea and really, it really wasn't a good idea at the moment. "It's probably not a good idea to do it here... Most of them are a bit too big and well, have you ever tried to photograph a Hawlucha? You'd run out of space on your camera before he finishes." Those Luchador Pokemon are known for their vanity and their excessive need for posing, even in battle.

The photos were squared away, but now she had something very much different to ask him.

Advice? Was there really anything that he could tell her that she didn't already know. He rubbed his chin in thought as he pondered on what to tell her. Just about everything about Pokemon Battling and building up a team was really common knowledge. Even a little kid had that much knowledge... Though there was something else.

"I'll tell you the one thing that I wish someone told me when I started; you will face challenges, challenges so great that you may think they are impossible to overcome, but the ones, the ones where you can't see are the ones that define who you are. Not only as a trainer, but the person that you hope to be. Doubt, self-loathing, fear, pride, temptation... What you do in the face of your own hell will show who you really are. You are the master of your fate, no matter who tells you."

After saying something like that, there was a brief moment of silence. Basil had a really awkward silence as he realized just how damn cheesy he sounded. Dear god, someone release him from his mortal coil.

"I'm sorry, it's been a long time since I said something that cliche, but it's the truth of the matter. Fate is not set in stone; it is yours to craft and with that comes a crushing responsibility from yourself and the world. However, you aren't alone. For every setback, for every detractor, you will meet those who will stay by your side and support you, even when it feels like the world closes in on you."

It was sort of nostalgic, this situation. There was something funny how history seems to find a way to repeat itself. Perhaps that's why he was compelled to do what he was about to do.

"Hold on a second..." Basil told her as he slid his bag down his shoulder and began to search through it. "Not that, not that...not that. Ah, there it is!" From his oversized, patched up corpse of a bag, he pulled out glass case with what appeared to be an egg in there. It was a strange one; mainly covered in white with grey and yellow streaks.

He stood up and held it out to her. "This was a gift from a friend when I was accepted into the Elite 4. It was generous, but I would feel more comfortable if it explored with a trainer who it can grow along side with. If Adriane picked you, then I have enough confidence to trust you with it."

@Sanguine Rose

There was a bit of a long silence on this girl's end for some reason, as well as a big smile that replaced the polite one that she had previously. For some reason, she looked like she was in a sort of star struck gaze much to his own confusion. It did not really occur to Basil that she would actually know who he was, which was really his own fault, but from her reaction he was starting to piece together that this may had been the case. Wait, now it just seemed like he was flexing his status and accomplishments when he was just trying to be polite and introduce himself.

Her Eevee seemed to have picked up on this and brought her back down to reality.

"Oh, you're from Evig. Speaking from experience, it is an experience to see what very little of what the rest of the region sees. If you're working for Kapoc, then you'll probably be the among the first to see Pokemon back in their natural habitat."

So, her name was Faye. She reminded him of when he first went on his journey; aimless, not very certain what to do, but the world was his to explore. It was all so nostalgic, but he could not get lost in his thoughts as it seemed like she wanted to ask him something. Faye seemed to need to build up some courage for something, well to ask him something.

"Basil is fine, Faye. Believe me, I'm really not that special." He smiled warmly at her. "I would be happy to. If you post your pictures somewhere, do you have an account I could follow? I'd love to see what you find on your journey." There were basically Pokemon equivalents of things like Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, and so on. Considering that she was a photographer, she probably posted them somewhere for people to see and get her name out there.

"Where would you like to take the photo?" asked Basil.


@samreaper

Now here's the thing about Aura. While the Riolu could still sense and detect where King was, it offered no protection for debris getting in its eyes. The fighting-type stopped in its tracks and winced as getting things in one's eyes typically stings like all hell. Then the Murkrow used Astonish and dealt enough damage that the two were about equal in terms in how much more damage they could take.

Riolu was now in catching range. What does Tristan do?


@Zarkun

The Confusion had caused the Rufflet to become confused! It flew around aimlessly with swirls in its eyes.

"God dammit fly over to the Ralts and Peck!" The poacher yelled out in frustration though to even more of his annoyance, the Rufflet flew over to the Litleo and began to Peck at it instead of Slayer. It was made worse that the blind Litleo panicked even more and used Ember on the Rufflet. In a manner most stupid, the two Pokemon knocked each other out.

Slayer grew to level 7!
Murus grew to level 6!
Jason earned 500P!


The poacher returned his Pokemon into their balls. Ugh, this job was not worth it! Damn that wretched woman! He turned his glare to Jason. "I'll remember this, kid." Without warning, he grabbed what seemed like a pelt from his pocket and threw it against the ground, releasing a cloud of smoke. When it cleared, he was gone, but that Totodile was still there. It was most likely the case that the Pokemon was extra weight and would've made it harder to get away from the police.

Speaking of the police, they showed up eventually. Whether Jason told them what happened or not was up to him. They luckily were able to help the Totodile out of the net and for some reason, it was very much stuck to Jason's side. Maybe he only noticed now after the whole ordeal, but the Totodile's coloring did not match that with the Pokedex's image. Also, it sparkled.


@Lunarlord34

That Pokeball flew far faster than that Pidove could react. In fact, it was faster than what any normal Pokemon could react to. The Pidove didn't even realize what was flying towards it until its skull was caved in by the Pokeball before it was absorbed into the ball in a beam of white light.

It rolled once... it rolled twice...it rolled thrice!



What does Steph do now?





In Pokémon: There and Back Again → 3 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay
@Zarkun

Well, shit.

The kid was good enough to get his bearings and move quickly onto the offensive.

Yeah, there was the old faithful strat of abusing double team. Unlucky for Jason, the Double Team was unable to fool the Rufflet and the Ralts got hit by a Peck in the face though not before suffering a critical hit by Slayer. The bird cried out in pain, but it still held in there.

"Peck its eyes out!" The poacher yelled out, the Rufflet followed his command and flew at the Ralts with a very angry beak.

As for Murus vs. Litleo...

Now here's the thing. Mudslap is a 20 Power move being used by a Golett, which has a pretty pitiful special attack stat. Was it super effective? Yes, but by damage alone Litleo would have won out if it were not for one very important factor. Mudslap typically gets in the targets' face and blinds them, lowering the accuracy of their attacks and this time was no different.

The Litleo let out a cry as it was blinded by the attack and in a panic, it used Ember and the sparks of flame were shot indiscriminately. They were flying towards the poacher, the Rufflet, Murus, Slayer, and even Jason. Small amounts of damage were dealt to all Pokemon on the field, but nothing severe as they lacked any focus on a single target.


@Sanguine Rose
Huh, so she was one of the kids that Adriane picked. It was almost nostalgic to see a fresh-faced trainer take on the nigh impossible task of becoming the best of the best in their region though if the Champ of all people chose her among the hundreds of thousands of applicants, then maybe she had something special. Or maybe she did what his region's professor did with him and picked her because she liked an underdog story though he doubted it. This girl had confidence; he noticed that she was sizing him up with this line of questioning. It was actually pretty funny.

The man smiled and said, "No, I've been a trainer for a few years now, but I'm relatively new to the Evig Region. I recently just got a job in Nexus, but it won't start for a while so I'm just exploring the region until then. If you're taking the league on, then you'll probably see me around. Oh, my name is Basil Rivens by the way."

"Yip!" The Yamper made sure that it wasn't forgotten, and Basil just chuckled.

"And this is Vex. I caught him recently." said Basil, motioning towards the pup. "Evig is a very odd region. I've heard that you could find every Pokemon in the world here, even Pokemon that have been extinct for hundreds of years in their respective regions. It's a very exciting prospect to find Pokemon that I can't find back home." He mused out loud to himself.

His attention was brought back to the girl once he realized that he got too caught up with the idea of finding Pokemon he's never seen before. "So what's your plan of action? You've got a long journey ahead of you if you want to take on the gym leaders."


@samreaper
Now it wasn't a bad idea to try and confuse the Riolu by making it unsure of where the bird would come from, but here lies the rub. It would have worked on any other Pokemon except Rilou. Why? Because it was the one Pokemon that could sense and detect Aura. All living things have it. It was how the Rilou was able to detect Tristan and find him in the first place. The Riolu was able to see King flying around the tree due the Murkrow's inherent Aura so when it flew from below to strike, the Rilou was ready for it.

It shifted its weight while in the air, turning to bring down a Feint, which in this case came in the form a straight jab at the same exact moment that King used Astonish. It was a trade of blows and by some incredible odds, it was a double crit. King was sent flying down to the ground though it had less than half of its HP while the Riolu skidded upon the ground. It too also had around half HP.

It used Quick Attack, dashing straight towards the Murkrow. How does Tristan react?

@CitrusArms
And so begins the adventures of Stella and one very bitey boi! They decided to go to the park in the Trainer's School so they would have to wander around the city. There were definitely some stares from people who were looking at the shiny Tyrunt, a literal dinosaur dragon, just casually walking by this adorable girl. The streets were bustling with people going on about their daily lives, the construction of buildings, and various stores and other businesses serving a wide cliental. Besides that, there were also wild Pokemon around the city.

There were two different kinds of bird Pokemon in competition for a sandwich that had fallen on the ground. It proved to be a tense stare down.



Pokedex Entry #016- Pidgey, the Tiny Bird Pokémon. They are docile Pokémon that avoid fighting, kicking up sand in an enemy’s face or using Whirlwind to avoid battles. They have sharp senses of direction, capable of finding their nest or destination from very large distances. They inhabit tall grass where they search and prey on small bugs.




Pokedex Entry #519-Pidove, the Tiny Pidgeon Pokemon. Where people go, these Pokémon follow. If you're scattering food for them, be careful— several hundred of them can gather at once. It's forgetful and not very bright, but many Trainers love it anyway for its friendliness and sincerity.


Besides the birds, there were also some felines just lazing about that took advantage of the food offerings that humans gave them and otherwise would just be looting.



Pokédex Entry #052 – Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokémon. During the night Meowth are known to sneak around stealthily in search of prey and shiny objects which it adores with a passion. During the day, Meowth is known to laze around all day. In the dark, its eyes glow.


Then there were scurrying rat Pokemon that seemed to be the prey of the Meowth when they felt like hunting.



Pokédex Entry #019 – Rattata, the Mouse Pokémon. This Pokémon is common but hazardous. Its sharp incisors can easily cut right through hard wood. Its incisors grow continuously throughout its life. If its incisors get too long, this Pokémon becomes unable to eat, and it starves to death.





@Lunarlord34
Jesus fucking Christ.

Dusk got yeeted at Mach fucking three. Have you ever seen those pilots who fly jets and how their faces get all pushed back by the G-Forces they experience? Yeah, now image that with this poor Litwick.

Meanwhile, Evelyn was walking back to her office from the lab and noticed a white and blue blur with sparkles flew by a window followed by a scream. She stopped for a moment in a moment of pure confusion. What was in Kapoc's coffee?

The Pidove, meanwhile, was flying away laughing its head off. It then noticed a strange noise getting close, not paying much mind to it until it got louder. Confused, it turned its head to the direction where that noise was coming from until it saw that unfortunate Litwick flying at it. The Pidove's eyes bulged out of its skull and was unable to react to what could only be described as a weapon that violated whatever the Pokemon equivalent of the Geneva Convention was.

Dusk hit the bird with what could technically be described as the typeless move Struggle and it was a crit! The Litwick received a great amount of recoil damage.

The Pidove was knocked out of the air, still barely hanging as it some fluttered down on the ground and began to cuss up a storm that sounded like a whole bunch of coos. Meanwhile, Dusk was falling down. If it fell from that height, it was going to be even less okay than it was already.

@Sanguine Rose
The Yamper nodded and let the nice lady take a picture of its adorable self. It was elated when it saw the pictures came out great and puffed its chest out high and held its head up as a show of pride for its absolute cuteness. When asked about if it was on its own or not, it shook its head and turned around, pointing towards a man that must've been only just two-years-older than Jason that looked like he was very busy on his smart phone. It used this as a chance to yip loudly and the young man glanced towards the Yamper almost as if he paid it no mind, but then wide-eyed looked back at it and then at his own feet and then back to the little scamp before he put the phone away, slung a backpack on the verge of death over his shoulder, and rushed over.

"Ah sorry, was he bothering you? I just caught this guy from Route 1, and it doesn't seem like he has any concept of stranger danger." He apologized, then glancing down at the Yamper. "You can't do that when I'm on the phone."

"Yip!" And it looked like it either didn't understand or it just didn't care, much to the exasperation.

He had a very fair complexion, wavy white hair that nearly covered his one of yellow doe eyes. He wore a very dark, desaturated purple bomber jacket, a white t-shirt, slim black jeans, and black low boots. The man had piercings in his ears, some of them were even metal bars going through his ears, and cuffs. Hell, he had a couple of piercings even on his neck of all places and around his neck he wore a necklace with a strange multi-colored gem in place. He also wore a belt that had six Pokeballs and a case.

The young man noticed the Eevee standing by Faye's side. That's a really rare Pokemon, not something that most people could get their hands on. "Forgive me if I'm wrong, but you're a new trainer, aren't you?"


@Zarkun
"What the hell?!" He was knocked off his feet by an invisible force and landed on his butt, mainly because he was not expecting to be attacked in the middle of the night. The man looked up and saw that it was some kid and honestly it would have pissed him off that some brat got one over him until he said that heroic line.

The poacher physically cringed and not in a slightly embarrassed way, but full on looked like he felt shame for Jason. "Seriously? 'Poaching is wrong, you bastard?' That's your line? God dammit, I'm embarrassed for you. I'd almost rather deal with the police than you if those clever one-liners continue. Almost."

He tossed out two Pokeballs and out came a very ruffled looking bird and a toy lion with a red mohawk.



Pokédex Entry #627 – Rufflet, the Eaglet Pokémon. If it spies a strong Pokémon, Rufflet can't resist challenging it to a battle. But if Rufflet loses, it starts bawling. It has talons that can crush hard berries.




Pokédex Entry #667 – Litleo, the Lion Cub Pokémon. When they're young, they live with a pride. Once they're able to hunt prey on their own, they're kicked out and have to make their own way. A hot-blooded Pokémon that is filled with curiosity. When it gets angry or starts fighting, its short mane gets hot.


"Rufflet, Peck at the Golett! Litleo, use Ember on the Ralts!" The two Pokemon followed their trainer's command. The Rufflet flew over and began to Peck at the Automaton Pokemon while the Litleo shot tiny fire balls at the Ralts.



@samreaper

Ordering King to keep its distance in the air and use Feather Dance was a very smart move on Tristan's part. The feathers shot down faster than the Riolu could react and stuck to it, decreasing its attack stat sharply since now parts of its body were now just soft pillows now. However, the little fighter was certainly not going to give up just because of that!

As Tristan must've noticed -and if he didn't then shame on him- that the park was filled with trees. The Riolu decided to use this to its advantage and used Quick Attack to climb up a nearby tree to get needed height and then propelled itself towards King at high speeds.

What will Tristan do?


@Lunarlord34

What the fuck did she say?

Kapoc just looked at the strange speaking girl, down to his coffee cup, and then back up at Steph as if she had Corphish crawling out of her ears. Never had he ever heard anything as scuffed as this in his life. She was from Galar, right? That sure as hell was not any Galarian accent, but something of an entirely different order.

Meanwhile Evelyn looked just as confused and stared at Adriane, who at a glance was just calmly smiling, but if one paid close attention they would see the corners of her mouth twitch ever so slightly.

Evelyn thought to herself, She is having way too much fun with this. This was on purpose.

It wasn't long until Steph left and there was a stiff silence for the longest time until The Champion finally broke and began laugh so hard she was hugging her stomach. "That girl is a riot! I can't understand a word she says, but she is a riot!"

Meanwhile, Kapoc did not share the sentiment. "What the f-!"

And we cut away to Stephanie who had stepped outside of the League Administration Building. Now it was a beautiful day, especially if you are a Pidove, who coincidentally was flying above her and also coincidentally left shall we say, a very distinguished...mark on certain spoiled boy. This specific Pidove was on a streak and kept landing every god damn hit on every poor person who was unfortunate enough to be under it at the time and this time was no different. It aligned itself perfectly over Steph and took a crap.

@Zarkun

Well, Jason found a Golett and decided to fight this particular one. It used Astonish, but spamming Double Team essentially made it borderline impossible for the poor thing to hit the bloody Ralts. Overtime its HP was chipped away by the Ralts Disarming Voice until it was in catching range. Seeing his chance, Jason tossed a Pokeball at the Golett and it was absorbed in a stream of white, digital light!

It rolled once... it rolled twice...it rolled thrice!



Now Jason waits around for nightfall. Since he is resting at the site, he gets a free heal for his team. Jason was probably sitting around a fire that he made, doing whatever he does. It was quiet, save for the occasional passing vehicle on the main road. The night was beautiful. One would have expected there to be large amount of light pollution due the close proximity of Grand Glory City and Route 4, but every star was out on a brilliant display.

Then silence was shattered by a sudden loud splash... and then another. If Jason was to follow the sound, he would obviously have found himself approaching the river. What he would see there would be the big jaw Pokemon splashing around in the water happily. It does not seem to have noticed you just yet.



Pokedex Entry #158-Totodile the Big Jaw Pokemon. Despite the smallness of its body, Totodile's jaws are very powerful. While the Pokémon may think it is just playfully nipping, its bite has enough power to cause serious injury.


However, you weren't alone.

"Get me a Totodile she says, it's so cute she says. God, does she think these things are easy to track down?" A man wearing an all-black suit, including a black balaclava obscuring his face. He was holding a cylindrical object.

"Toto?" It looked up at the man approaching, who was now aiming that object at it. The device shot out a net and caught the poor Totodile. It flailed and cried out desperately for not even its fangs seemed to be able to cut through.

What will Jason do? Will he rescue the Totodile or let it be poached?


@samreaper

The Riolu began to chat with the shiny Murkrow, very intrigued with its unique coloring compared to the other Murkrows that it had seen before.

Well, at least it looked like he finally calmed down.

"Yes, I did. This ability makes them quite valuable... and a target. They were almost extinct in the wild in the Evig region due to Cipher's excessive poaching, but thanks to the efforts of breeders, rangers, and scientists we are beginning to see a resurgence in their population." Tristan should have been aware of the devastation that this region had been through thanks to that evil team even if he was not from the region. Evig was on the verge of collapse and so many wild Pokemon were on the brink of extinction. It was a national disaster of unprecedented proportions. Even the city itself was a testament of the efforts of the inhabitants of the region to move forward and recover.

She smiled at the boy's awkward thankfulness. "If you wish to thank me, please call me Astrid. I am one of the teachers at this school." Was this him trying to be nice? They've only just met, and he was already telling her how to take care of her hair and what glasses to wear. Well, it was better to just silently take the advice and let the kid be on his way than let him get under her skin.

"Lou!" the Riolu called out to get Tristan's attention.

"Oh my, I think the Riolu wants to battle you."

"Lou!" It nodded in confirmation.

What will Tristan do?


@Sanguine Rose
And the adventures of Faye and Sage have officially begun! They decided to start in Grand Glory City and take pictures of the landmarks around the city. The streets were bustling with people going on about their daily lives, the construction of buildings, and various stores and other businesses serving a wide cliental. Besides that, there were also wild Pokemon around the city.

There were two different kinds of bird Pokemon in competition for a sandwich that had fallen on the ground. It proved to be a tense stare down.

At some point, she found herself in the city square. Cafes, high-end restaurants, and various stores were all nestled around this space where a fountain was placed dead center. The fountain had statues of the Galarian Legendary Pokemon, Zacian and Zamazenta though because they are statues the Pokedex won't display an entry.

"Yip yip!"

Faye should have heard that behind her, down around her feet. When she looked down, she would see a very cute looking dog Pokemon hopping around her with its eyes very much glued on the camera. Electricity crackled around its feet every time it hopped around her feet.



Pokédex Entry #835 – Yamper, the Puppy Pokémon. This Pokémon is very popular as a herding dog in the Galar region. As it runs, it generates electricity from the base of its tail. It only assists people with their work because it wants treats. As it runs, it crackles with electricity.


It doesn't seem to belong to anyone.

What does Faye do?

@samreaper
People were not exactly oblivious to some teenager who was on the cusp of having a panic attack. Some were trying to get his attention and ask if he was okay, but the boy was so beside himself that he did not even notice them. So, they instead informed the most responsible person there -that being the teacher, Astrid, the brown-haired lady with glasses- that there was some poor kid having a freak out. Of course, she had another teacher cover for her a moment and rushed to Tristan.

"Hey kid, are you okay?" asked Astrid though she received no response. He seemed way too deep in whatever he was going through right now, so deep that he didn't notice a particular blue baby Pokemon huddled up next to him in an attempt to comfort the teen.



Pokedex Entry #447-Riolu the Emanation Pokemon. It's exceedingly energetic, with enough stamina to keep running all through the night. Taking it for walks can be a challenging experience. It can use waves called auras to gauge how others are feeling. These same waves can also tell this Pokémon about the state of the environment.


Astrid smiled at the baby Pokemon. "Be a good Riolu and keep him company for me. You too, Murkrow." She was also acknowledging that the poor bird was probably doing its best for its trainer.

She couldn't watch over him forever and eventually had to go back to supervising the kids though she made sure to keep herself just close enough to keep a visual on Tristan. Thankfully he was back to himself fifteen-minutes later and he was... not exactly the nicest kid she had the pleasure of ever having to meet.

Gaudy? She thought to herself.

"You mean that thing hugging your leg?" Astrid said, pointing down to the same Riolu that was cuddled up next to him. "Riolu are special little Pokemon; they can sense emotions through what we call aura. It probably sensed how distressed you were and came over to comfort you. Well, still trying to." She giggled.

@Zarkun

Wait, this dude had a Ralts? Those things were part Fairy-Type, right? Well shit.

"Well it doesn't matter! As long it's frail we can win!" declared the cowboy... and the Ralts used Double Team and Growl. His Scraggy's attack dropped by one stage, and it wasn't long before Jason had ordered his Ralts to use Disarming Voice.

Now, Disarming Voice was a move that was impossible to avoid like Shock Wave and Arial Ace. No matter Connor could've done, there was no way of ordering Scraggy to avoid the sound waves. The poor thing cried out in pain as it was not only super-effective, but it was also quad-super-effective due to its typing.

"We only have one chance! Use Payback!" There it was! A powered-up Payback that would one shot the Ralts if it were to land. It rushed at one of the images of Ralts and with a glowing strike of its fist it... went through and the clone of Slayer vanished.

Scrag? It looked back at its trainer with an expression that said, 'Why have you forsaken me?'

Connor stood there with a blank expression on his face, knowing of what's to come. "I have made a terrible decision."

One more Disarming Voice later, Scraggy was knocked out and then returned to its Pokeball.

Ralts grew to level 6!
Slayer learned Confusion


"Ah damn, I didn't expect to get thrashed like that. Looks like I gotta catch me some Pokemon to counter Fairies." He sighed, but then cracked a wide-smile. "Well congrats on winning Jason. Now I was gonna keep the info to myself, but I'm sure you can find some use for it. Now it's just a rumor, but apparently at night people are claiming to see some Pokemon with a big jaw swimming about in the rivers. People keep trying to catch it, but it's very illusive. Well, use that info however you like. I gotta head back to the city."

And just like that, Connor was off.

What will you do now?

@Zarkun

Well, he set up a campsite by the ancient ruins. Yup, that is what he did.

So, Jason decided to see if he could find any signs of rare Pokemon in the vicinity of the ruins. Well, there could be rare Pokemon or not. Who is there to say? The issue is that Jason has literally just arrived in this area and has little to no information on what to even look for so the chances of him finding anything rare are slim to none. Let's see how this goes.

While he did not find rare Pokemon, he found some Pokemon that would not be appropriately classified as 'common.'

Every now and again by the ruins, he would see strange, almost automaton beings just walking around aimlessly. Some of them though lining boulders up for some unknown reason. It would've been very easy to mistake them for not being Pokemon if it were not for the fact that the Pokedex did indeed have an entry for them.



Pokedex Entry #622-Golett, the Automaton Pokemon. They were sculpted from clay in ancient times. No one knows why, but some of them are driven to continually line up boulders.


If that was not odd enough, some of the bits of wall would pop off a wall to reveal that the piece was being held by a shadow-like being with purple eyes. They would look at Jason curiously, sometimes float around him before going off on their own business. While they were cute, one would have to wonder if it was safe for someone to camp in a place that was a hot spot for ghosts.



Pokedex Entry #562-Yamask, the Spirit Pokemon. A clay slab with cursed engravings took possession of a Yamask. The slab is said to be absorbing the Yamask's dark power. It's said that this Pokémon was formed when an ancient clay tablet was drawn to a vengeful spirit.


However great as these Pokemon are, these are not the rare Pokemon in the area. While it is possible that he's not wrong to think that there are cave systems in the ruins, he had yet to show any knowledge or ability to access them. Sometimes, rare Pokemon require some knowledge, intuition, or just plain old dumb luck. It seems like Jason was lacking in all three. Perhaps if he asked the locals or those passing through about the area then maybe he would have more to work with.

Well, while he didn't find any leads it seems like someone found something they thought it was interesting.

"Ho there! Hey stranger!" Someone called out our intrepid trainer from not the not so far distance. This figure approached him and revealed himself to be a young man around Jason's age, wearing a brown Stetson hat, matching brown boots, and rather worn-out, sun- bleached jeans, and an orange button up with the last button left open to show a white t-shirt. He was strikingly handsome, 1930s Hollywood handsome. The man could carve wood with his jawline.

"Sorry, I was explorin' the ruins and I couldn't help, but notice that you have one of them Pokedexes that grump Kapoc gave out." This young man reached for his belt and pulled out the exact some model Pokedex that James had just received except this one came in orange. "I guess we're rivals of sorts. The name is Connor, Connor Hagen." He held his hand out with a wide grin for a handshake and if he accepted, it was like being under a hydraulic press. His hand was rough and calloused, as if his palm was covered in a layer of it.

"How about we celebrate our meeting with a battle? After all, if trainers lock eyes with one another, then we must battle." Connor tossed out a Pokeball and what came out was a strange bipedal lizard with saggy yellow skin that acts like pants that it always has to hold up.



Pokedex Entry #559-Scraggy, the Shedding Pokemon. If it locks eyes with you, watch out! Nothing and no one is safe from the reckless headbutts of this troublesome Pokémon. It protects itself with its durable skin. It's thought that this Pokémon will evolve once its skin has completely stretched out.


You have been challenged by Cowboy Connor!



@samreaper

Due to Tristan's inhumanly awful sense of direction, he found himself wandering around the sprawling metropolis. People and Pokemon were going about their business, buildings were being constructed among already towering scrapers, and every new business popping up under the sun. What was more impressive, depending on how one would look at it, Tristan kept turning around every corner just before he would find a Pokemart. Somehow, this man missed every Pokemart in the city due to his sheer lack of ability to read a map. Seriously, how in the fresh hell was this guy going to function when he leaves the city is completely beyond me.

Anyway! Besides the residents of the city, there were wild Pokemon as well! Well, a few of them. Everywhere Tristan went he would see little birds looking about, while common, could be great a start for any budding trainer. Well, maybe not in his case since his starter is a Flying-Type.

In this case, it seemed like there were two types of Flying-Types that were in competition to get the most food.



Pokedex Entry #016- Pidgey, the Tiny Bird Pokémon. They are docile Pokémon that avoid fighting, kicking up sand in an enemy’s face or using Whirlwind to avoid battles. They have sharp senses of direction, capable of finding their nest or destination from very large distances. They inhabit tall grass where they search and prey on small bugs.




Pokedex Entry #519-Pidove, the Tiny Pidgeon Pokemon. Where people go, these Pokémon follow. If you're scattering food for them, be careful— several hundred of them can gather at once. It's forgetful and not very bright, but many Trainers love it anyway for its friendliness and sincerity.


Besides the birds, there were also some felines just lazing about that took advantage of the food offerings that humans gave them and otherwise would just be looting.



Pokédex Entry #052 – Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokémon. During the night Meowth are known to sneak around stealthily in search of prey and shiny objects which it adores with a passion. During the day, Meowth is known to laze around all day. In the dark, its eyes glow.


Then there were scurrying rat Pokemon that seemed to be the prey of the Meowth when they felt like hunting.



Pokédex Entry #019 – Rattata, the Mouse Pokémon. This Pokémon is common but hazardous. Its sharp incisors can easily cut right through hard wood. Its incisors grow continuously throughout its life. If its incisors get too long, this Pokémon becomes unable to eat, and it starves to death.


With that, Tristan and King, assuming he's still not in his Pokeball, made their way to the park. Well, really, they made it to the Trainer School where the park was attached to.

Well with nothing stopping him, Jason went back wherever he was staying and obtained his camping and spelunking equipment.

You obtained Camping Kit!

You obtained Spelunking Equipment!


Eager to leave the city and go out into the wide-open world to explore the nearest woods, Jason would head south of the city. The further he went, the more he would notice that size of the buildings were less grand and sparce the greater the distance he walked. There was both a main road for vehicles to travel and a well-maintained dirt walkway for travelers making their way to the Starbor Woods and beyond if they were so inclined. You begin to hear the sound of running water.

Welcome to...

Route 4



(It's actually a sunny day. Ignore the heavy mist and grey clouds.)
Route 4 is a long, hilly, rocky, grassy area with numerous flowing rivers stemming from Lake Charity. It is not nearly as a well-traveled road like Route 1, but it is still a main road from Grand Glory City to Starbor Village. Due to the terrain, there are not many people who live on this route. Just a long route of rocks, hills, and rivers, but it does attract certain kinds of Pokemon. However, it is one of the many popular fishing spots found around Evig and it is filled with many fishermen looking for their next catch. There's even a shop that sells fishing rods and bait.

From here, one could see the towering mass of trees that make up Starbor Forest and the skyline of Grand Glory City. There is a road for vehicles to travel, but for on-foot travelers they would have to settle for a rocky dirt walkway. However, travelers who are going by foot are rewarded with being near some mysterious ruins; massive walls of stone carved with strange symbols. What do they say? Heck if anyone knows.

While walking, one should tread carefully not to step on the rocks because they may not even be rocks at all and are in fact Geodude. There was always some poor, tired traveler who accidentally stepped on one or even sat on them mistaking them for simply a boulder where they could rest their weary feet. Needless to say, the results are not pleasant.


Pokedex Entry #074-Geodude, the Rock Pokemon. Found in fields as well as mountains. They commonly rest, half-buried in the ground and indistinguishable from normal rocks. There are always way more Geodude around than a traveler will notice. Stepping on one by accident may trigger their rage.


Along the river, one can see a classic favorite among most people dude to their goofy, cute appearance are the Bidoof. These Pokemon can be seen building their nests along the water. Meanwhile, there were the heads of the most happy, armless Pokemon in the world, Wooper, poking out of the water.


Pokedex Entry #399-Bidoof, the Plump Mouse Pokemon. With nerves of steel, nothing can perturb it. It is more agile and active than it appears. It constantly gnaws on logs and rocks to whittle down its front teeth. It nests alongside water.



Pokedex Entry #194-Wooper, the Water Fish Pokemon. This Pokémon lives in cold water. It will leave the water to search for food when it gets cold outside. When walking on land, it covers its body with a poisonous film that keeps its skin from dehydrating.


Coasting along the surface of the rivers were Duckletts. Some were diving underwater in hunt of food though it seemed like in general they left everyone alone. Unless you had a bag filled with breadcrumbs. God help your soul.


Pokedex Entry #580-Ducklett, the Water Bird Pokemon. When attacked, it uses its feathers to splash water, escaping under cover of the spray. They are better at swimming than flying, and they happily eat their favorite food, peat moss, as they dive underwater.


What will you do?







@samreaper
Was this kid fucking for real? Thought the three far more experienced trainers. Adriane was howling with laughter, Evelyn sighed in exasperation, and Kapoc? He looked like a vein was about to burst from his head as his teeth were grating hard enough to turn diamonds into dust. There was no amount of pay that made dealing with this acceptable on any level.

"Okay that's it." Kapoc snapped his fingers. Tristan would realize that there was a shadow looming behind him, in fact, he could feel the warm breath of something creep against his neck and a sense of menace from an apex predator. Turning around would reveal the culprit; a three headed vicious beast with red eyes was levitating in place, glaring daggers into the rich asshole.



Pokedex Entry #635-Hydreigon, the Brutal Pokemon. There are a slew of stories about villages that were destroyed by Hydreigon. It bites anything that moves. The three heads take turns sinking their teeth into the opponent. Their attacks won't slow until their target goes down.


Without warning, the dragon-type's head lunged down and bit down on the scruff of Tristan's shirt, lifting him in the air. It then would proceed to carry the brat out of the lab whether the victim liked it or not. When they crossed through the automatic glass doors, the Hydreigon tossed him onto his bum and considering Tristan is probably going to insult it, it hissed at him with all three heads and then went back in the lab

Meanwhile, Kapoc searched his drawer and pulled out a bag of Pokesnacks "Good boy." The professor said with a smirk. He pulled out three biscuit looking snack and tossed one for each head that snapped them up in just a second.

"... Is it really a good idea to let that roam around in here?" Evelyn said, a bead of sweat dripped down her head as she watched destruction given flesh wander around a lab with lab equipment worth more than your very soul.

Adrian chuckled. "Eh, it's fine. It's the most well behaved Hydreigon I've ever seen."

Well, Tristan was now in the hallway and definitely not welcomed back in the lab. What will he do now?



In Pokémon: There and Back Again → 3 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay
Grand Glory City




It's a wonderful early spring morning; the sun was shining, the plants are beginning to wake up from their long winter sleep, and the chill in the air gave way to a wave of warmth throughout the region. The streets are bustling with the early morning traffic of those trying to get to work and people walking with their Pokemon to wherever it was that they are going. You, the carefully selected group of new trainers, were told to meet at the League Administration Headquarters, which was located somewhere outside of the downtown area. Once there, you all would find a massive white building with the League symbol made out of stain glass installed above the door. Once you go in, you are all waiting in a lobby with nothing happening, so you're stuck with each other. Hell really is other people.

Thankfully, you are all soon greeted by the sight of a woman in her mid-twenties with fair skin, long, orange hair and dark green eyes. She was wearing a pantsuit with the jacket portion open to reveal a white button up shirt. "Oh, you must be the new trainers. I'm Evelyn, the Head Administrator of the League and I'm here to make sure you don't get lost. Originally, the champion was supposed to meet us here, but she's running...late. The look when she said the champion was late reeked of exasperation as this was definitely not the first time she has done something like this, but life goes on. "Anyway! You all must be excited to get your starters. I'll show you were Kapoc's lab is." She led the group up an escalator and down hallway out of the lobby. There were many people passing by, people who obviously looked like they worked there. These were the people that made the League somewhat manageable.

Not too long, they arrived at an automatic sliding glass door and walked into what definitely look like a lab with equipment that should not be touched by anyone who does not know what they are doing. The entire place had an almost overpowering scent of coffee being roasted. In this room was a man with long, messing black hair that was loosely tied into a ponytail, but still had bangs long enough to cover one of his crimson eyes. He wore a dark grey turtleneck underneath his lab coat with matching slacks and dress shoes. The scientist looked like sleep was a foreign concept to him; he had deep circles under his eyes and had scruffy facial hair that made him look way older than he actually was. He was sitting at a glass desk with a metal frame, bearing a bored expression, his head propped by his hand.

"So these are the brats that Adriane picked?" He glanced up and down while sipping his cup of coffee. "Not gonna lie, some of them look like they won't even last a week." He said, specifically staring at Tristan.

"Kapoc, would it kill you to be nice?"

"Would it kill you to let me finish my morning cup?" Kapoc said grumpily, taking a sip from a mug that should technically qualify as a bucket.

Evlyn just stared at him for a moment and then asked, "When was the last time you slept?"

"Tuesday."

"But it's Monday."

"Exactly." He said, followed by another sip of coffee.

Evelyn pinched the bridge of her nose, and her eyes were closed tightly. "For the love of... Are you at least going to explain what you research?"

"Ev, what I research is irrelevant to them, and I pray for it to stay that way," said Kapoc briskly. He stood up and walked to what looked like a safe and punched in a code on a keypad, unlocking the door. Inside, there was a suitcase that he removed and then placed on his desk. After flicking the locks open, he lifted the lid to reveal Pokeballs and Pokedexes, which were in various different colors and may or may not look like iPhones. "I hope you all understand the gravity of the opportunity given to you. You are some of the few new trainers that are allowed to take on the League. We allowed already established trainers to partake, but for new trainers, we had to heavily vet due to the challenge. You are not the only new trainers."

"Well, with that out of the way I believe it's time for an expla-"

Before he could even begin, he was rudely interrupted by someone who ran into the room. This person was a dark-skinned woman with sharp, gold eyes and gunmetal blue hair with a short cut that was buzzed on the sides. She wore a white tee with a black jacket over it and a muslin scarf wrapped around her neck and blue jeans with matching black boots.

"I'm here! Sorry I'm late! I-" She stopped mid-sentence at the sight of Evelyn and looked up and down at her. "Nice."

"Oh my god Adriane..." She buried her face in her palms to hide her blushing. Meanwhile, Kapoc just looked even more done with this than he was before.

"Could you save the flirting for when you two are back home? Some of us are actually working here." He said through his teeth. They seriously needed to give him a raise for dealing with this on a daily basis.

Adriane laughed in response. "Sorry, sorry I couldn't help myself." She said as she sauntered over to Kapoc and then turned over to look at the fresh picks. "It's great to finally to meet you all in person. Those over the phone interviews were all pretty impersonal, huh?" While they had no way of recognizing her appearance, unless they were native to Evig or followed the news in their respective regions, they had heard her voice before. This was the Champion and founder of the Evig League, Adriane Brand. She was considered to be one the strongest trainers in the world even by a Champion's standards.

"So what did I miss? I didn't miss them getting their starters, right?" She asked Kapoc, who was glaring daggers into her.

"I was about to explain how the Trainer ID and Pokedex functions."

"Ohhhhh gotcha. Do your thing." She said, finger gunning him.

Meanwhile, Kapoc was about to bust a blood vessel in his head, but he was pushing through. "These Pokedexes are provided in courtesy by Professor Sycamore. Here."

You received a Pokedex!




He looked pretty tired from that long explanation. "Now just take your Pokemon."

@samreaper
-You Obtained Murkrow!-


Murkrow, the Darkness Pokémon. They awaken at dusk and take wing in the twilight, leading to the expression, “Get home before the Murkrow fly.” Seen as a symbol of bad luck, it's generally disliked. Yet it gives presents—objects that sparkle or shine—to Trainers it's close to.


@Sanguine Rose
-You Obtained Eevee!-


Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. It is a rare Pokémon that adapts to harsh environments by changing its appearance and capabilities when it evolves. This is due to its unstable genetic makeup that has stumped scientists.


@Zarkun
-You Obtained Ralts!-


Ralts, the Feeling Pokemon. Ralts senses the emotions of people using the horns on its head. This Pokémon rarely appears before people. But when it does, it draws closer if it senses that the person has a positive disposition.


@Lunarlord34
-You Obtained Litwick!-


Litwick, the Candle Pokemon. The flame on its head keeps its body slightly warm. This Pokémon takes lost children by the hand to guide them to the spirit world. The younger the life this Pokémon absorbs, the brighter and eerier the flame on its head burns.


@CitrusArms
-You Obtained Tyrunt!-


Tyrunt, the Royal Heir Pokemon. This is an ancient Pokémon, revived in modern times. It has a violent disposition, and it'll tear apart anything it gets between its hefty jaws. This Pokémon is selfish and likes to be pampered. It can also inflict grievous wounds on its Trainer just by playing around.


"Huh, some of you guys got shinies. Rare, but it doesn't change a Pokemon's performance in battle." Kapoc stated. "Oh, and you'll need these Pokeballs."

5x Pokeballs Obtained!


"Well, that's it then. Do what you want. Just leave me alone."

What will you all do now?
