And their collective time in costume comprises less than one minute of the whole movie. Not to mention Madame Web was already played to perfection by Stan Lee’s WIFE in the 90’s.
Rory had been in the middle of talking with Orianna when George interrupted him. Noting the condition that Devastator was in, the older trainer quickly produced a bag from the back of the jeep.
"Lay him on the ground, George!" While the boy complied, Rory searched through the bag until he produced a pink piece of Pokémon food. Moving the food over towards the Bagon's mouth, Devastator sniffed the air and bit down; swallowing the block in one bite. In seconds, the poison marks vanished from Devastator's face and the little dragon was bouncing around as though nothing had happened. With a sigh of relief, Rory fell back against the jeep.
"Pecha Berry laced Pokémon food. Cures the effects of poison just as well as the real thing." Turning to George, Rory gave him a sterner than usual look, "You're going to have to watch out for things like that in the future if you want to make it as a trainer. That goes for you too, Orianna. If I hadn't been here, you'd have had to run back to Mercer..." Taking note of the Pokeballs in the youths' hands, Rory smiled. "But onto something more positive. Congrats to you both on capturing your first partners!
Rory pushed himself upwards and casually tossed Rufflet's pokeball in his hand. "With that out of the way, you're one step closer to becoming full-fledged trainers. If you want to look around the route a bit more, we have a few hours before we have to be in Hesperus City. I want to be there before it starts to get dark and you two still need some battle practice before you can challenge the Overseer." Noting the enthusiasm on their faces, Rory gestured back to the route while he pulled his new partner out of his ball to meet the rest of his team.
Meanwhile in Hesperus City: A young girl stood by the gates to the city, looking out across the Mercer Foothills that made up Route 1. She had long platinum blonde hair and was dressed in a similar pink getup to what Norah the Overseer typically wore except hers was clearly designed for a younger woman. The sun was just starting to set over the horizon, lighting up Mts. Calagon and Tiamat in brilliant golden hues. Gripping a love ball in her right hand, the girl felt her heart skip a beat as she fantasized about the coming travelers. "I'll be seeing you soon... Rory."
@Fading Memory I imagined it sort of like the image in my original post. Definitely leaning on the noir and neon side of things with the rare cleaner and sleeker buildings which would house the Heirs. Think of it along the lines of actual Cyberpunk 2077 mixed with the parkour/freerunning aesthetics of Mirror's Edge. I hope that makes sense? That's the best idea I can really give at the moment.
Ok wow so this thread blew up... Seeing how many people are interested (as well as the level of detail you guys are putting in. Thank you btw!) I'm thinking of moving this into the Advanced RP Page. You guys are adding new ideas and worldbuilding that I hadn't considered when typing up this original concept. So if you want to take part, please keep an eye on the advanced rp section rather than casual!
Annnnnnnnd... It's here! I finally managed to make a (very) rough map of the Kaida Region! Please don't judge me too harshly on the design, I have a very rudimentary knowledge of Inkarnate.
@Mistress Dizzy Get Well Soon and take your time. So long as you post, it doesn't matter when.
@Crimson Flame I've been making them up as I go since many of these Pokémon aren't going to be found in the traditional places you may expect them to be and that changes how you might perceive them. Kinda my whole inspiration for this region was to take the standard Pokémon lore and turn it on it's head. I.e. Dragonite being more of a brute or Salamance 'giving up' its dream.
@LuckyBlackCat That actually sounds like a great idea! The only thing I'd suggest is that - rather than being a form - you could make it a third stage evolution for Arbok. Pretty much the pattern I've been going with is: Two Stage Pokemon -> New Evolution Three Stage Pokémon -> Kaidan Form
Name: Kingbull Type: Fairy/Fighting Evolves from: Granbull How to Obtain: Give Granbull a King's Rock and have it level up w/ a Fighting Move
Name: Braviary (Kaidan Form) Type: Flying/Electric How to Obtain: Level up Rufflet in the Kaida Region
Annnnnd... Because I mentioned them in this recent post, here is some art I pulled for what our two newest Kaidan Pokémon! Even without custom art I legit LOVE these concepts. I have wanted an actual thunderbird Pokemon for soooo long...
Hmm... Since I'm imagining Route 1 to be a mix of grassland/foothills region (i.e. Colorado Foothills) I'll grant you this: Rattata, Bidoof, Ekans, Geodude, and Spinarak/Rufflet as Rare Encounters.
