Alolan Pokemon Academy

It's near Hau'oli City, just like in the game! It's just on the outskirts, so characters could easily go there between classes. Also, glad you're interested!

Alolan Pokemon Academy

@Kafka Komedy I have no objections. While Zorua are certainly not common, since they ARE now native, I see no reason your character couldn't have one. No need to lose your 3rd slot, either!

Alolan Pokemon Academy

Once upon a time, I had a very fun RP that involved a Pokemon Academy. After a few years, I've gotten the old itch again, so here I am! Basically, I'm looking to do a classic Pokemon Academy RP using the scenic Alola Academy as our setting. It's fully staffed, near the city, and right by the beach. What more could you ask for, right? :D

Here's the rundown: this'll be taking place about six years after the events of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, which means canon will NOT be very applicable - Team Skull is gone, and the Aether Foundation is on the straight and narrow. Mostly. The plot of this story will revolve around six young trainers and their daily lives at school. While the beginning will be a simple slice of life in the Pokemon world, as time advances, we'll begin to see that not everything on these islands is as peaceful as it seems...

But more on that later. ^-^ Right now, here's what I'm looking for:

-No more than six young trainers, 8-15 years old, to attend classes together. Your history is your own to write as you see fit (within reason, of course), and you may choose three Pokemon for your starting team. Do bear in mind that your characters will be NOVICE trainers when selecting your team!

-Two or three instructors to teach classes. Instructors are free to have whatever team and history they desire (again, within reason), and each instructor will be teaching a specific class. I myself will be taking the Headmaster position and acting as DM for the world at large. My character will also be teaching a class, but I'll wait to choose the topic until the other instructors choose theirs.

The minor details can be hammered out as we get into them. Otherwise, I look very forward to our year together!

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: The Darkest Abyss

This is gonna be a pretty dull thread if we're only getting in one post a week.

Fairy Tail: The Rising Darkness!

Rather than concern, Cassandra found the prospect of monsters kind of exciting. She always enjoyed finding new things to use in her illusion magic, and if the monsters were giant, horrifying monstrosities, hey, all the better! "I'm in too," she told the Guildmaster. "I haven't had a chance to show off what I can do yet, so this should be fun."

Fairy Tail: The Rising Darkness!

Cassandra simply watched as Lyren stormed off, letting the false blade fade into nothing. "My, someone's serious," she muttered to herself. When the other guy - Kai, was it? - shouted about food, Cassandra was already in better spirits. Food was always a good way to get over things. So, she half-skipped over to the kitchen area and took a portion of the giant slab of meat. It tasted surprisingly good; she had heard someone say something about poison, so she'd been worried about the flavor. She took some note of the people around her, but mostly kept to herself. It wasn't that she didn't like them, but she simply didn't know them that well yet. She was slow to warm up to people was all. As Gildarts posted the mission and everyone excitedly began forming up for it, she finally spoke out loud to everyone.

"Ah, if there's still room, I'd love to go too!" she said.

Fairy Tail: The Rising Darkness!

Sorry guys. I'll slip back in.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: The Darkest Abyss

And there ya go! I did it in Paint with nothing but a TouchPad, so please forgive the quality. Still, it details all known Mystery Dungeons in the world, and if (when ;) ) we decide to add more, I'll update it. For now, I'll now give a brief description of each dungeon, as well as a list of what Pokemon may be found there. It should also be noted that "Pokemon include" is a list of common and rare Pokemon, but you are free to encounter a Pokemon anywhere it would make logical sense. This is just a guideline.

Popla Forest

Popla Forest is located just south of the town of Poplus, and is, in fact, the town's namesake. It's a very thin, woodsy area perfect for beginner explorers and low-level missions. The forest is often visited by townspeople to retrieve berries and apples, which grow in relative abundance throughout the forest.
Pokemon include: Budew, Bidoof, Ratatta, Sunkern, Wurmple, Pidgey, and Raticate (rare).
Difficulty: E-D

Crag Cave

Crag Cave is rumored to have once been the stomping grounds of very powerful Pokemon, but if this is true, none of them still remain. The terrain is quite rocky, and the area is a favorite of Rock-type Pokemon, as well as a few who prefer dark places. Gravelrocks are easy to find here, but there is little else.
Pokemon include: Geodude, Tyrogue, Aron, Roggenrola, Woobat, Zubat, and Munna (rare).
Difficulty: E-D

Mount Mist

Mount Mist is one of the smaller and more well-worn mountains. It has an easy path to the summit, as well as several side paths for the intrepid explorer. One can find a variety of hardy Pokemon while scaling this mountain, and it is rumored that strong Fighting-types occasionally use the summit to spar.
Pokemon include: Geodude, Pidove, Machop, Dwebble, Tyrunt (rare), and Axew (rare).
Difficulty: E-C

Breezy Meadow

Breezy Meadow, as the name suggests, is a large, hilly area known for particularly pleasant weather. Grass-types often gather here to seek solace and relaxation. As such, many natural plants and their seeds can be found here, including apples and berries.
Pokemon include: Sunkern, Sunflora, Cherubi, Oddish, Hoppip, Sewaddle, Bulbasaur (rare)
Difficulty: D-C

Smooth Plains

The Smooth Plains are a flat, grassy area that stretch on for miles. A wide variety of Pokemon can be found wandering this area, but there is little in the way of food, so they rarely stay long.
Pokemon include: Skiploom, Bellsprout, Doduo, Durant, Tropius (rare), Salamence (rare)
Difficulty: D-C

Shimmer Beach

Shimmer Beach, named for the way the sun shines on the water during the day, is a favorite vacation area. Pokemon from all across the known world come to relax and enjoy themselves here. While it is typically very small, it is still a known Mystery Dungeon.
Pokemon include: Seel, Poliwag, Luvdisc, Buizel, Corsola, Frillish, Mantine (rare), Water-type Starters (rare)
Difficulty: E-C (depending on what Pokemon happen to be there)

Dusk Forest

Named for the way the trees can block out the sun even in the daytime, Dusk Forest is home to many Grass and Dark-type Pokemon. Food here is scarce, due to the lack of sunlight, and even kind Pokemon can be highly protective of their territory.
Pokemon include: Poochyena, Mightyena, Purrloin, Liepard, Sableye, Absol (rare), Pawniard (rare)
Difficulty: D-B

Sapphire Lake

Sapphire Lake, while not a Mystery Dungeon itself, can only be accessed by passing through Dusk Forest. It is known to be a common watering hole for many of the forest's Pokemon, and legend says that Suicune itself may occasionally appear here.

Mount Magmos

Mount Magmos is one of the primary landscapes that was rumored to have been affected by Giratina in ancient times. Once the largest mountain in the world, it was cleaved almost in half by a massive volcanic explosion, turning itself and the area around it into a charred and barren wasteland. It can only be accessed by crossing through the Ashlands.
Pokemon include: Houndour, Houndoom, Graveler, Magmar, Slugma, Camerupt (rare), Charizard (rare)
Difficulty: C-A

Ashlands

Rumored to have once been a beautiful mountain paradise, the Ashlands were completely destroyed by a disastrous eruption of Mount Magmos. Ashes rain down from the constantly-smoking volcano, and any plants that once grew here have long since been forgotten.
Pokemon include: Houndour, Litwick, Torkoal, Slugma, Numel, Charmeleon (rare), Pyroar (rare)
Difficulty: C-B

Mystic Sea

Legends say that the Mystic Sea is home to a mysterious Pokemon who sleeps beneath the waves, but no one has ever seen it. Still, it is easy to find powerful and impressive Pokemon here... if one can hold their breath.
Pokemon include: Tentacruel, Dratini, Wailmer, Gorebyss, Basculin, Phione (rare), Dragonair (rare)
Difficulty: C-A

Rapid River

The primary source of water that flows into the Mystic Sea, Rapid River boasts a fast-moving current and a lot of Water-type Pokemon. The lush trees around the river often drop their bounty into the waters.
Pokemon include: Magikarp, Poliwhirl, Alomomola, Lanturn, Pelliper, Lapras (rare), Marshtomp (rare)
Difficulty:D-A

Dusty Dunes

A desert region in the southeast portion of the world, Dusty Dunes is home to many Ground, Rock, and Steel-type Pokemon. Travelers to this area should beware - sandstorms occur often and without warning, and there is little in the way of food or water.
Pokemon include: Hippopotus, Drilbur, Rhyhorn, Sandile, Carnivine, Krokorok, Krookodile (rare), Claydol (rare)
Difficulty: B-A

Ancient Crevice

A long chasm that has been worn into the ground over hundreds of years. Researchers are conflicted about its origins, as it does not appear that such a crevice could form naturally. It is claimed a great monster sleeps in a hidden chamber at the chasm's base, but no one has ever found it.
Pokemon include: Marowak, Donphan, Hippowdon, Excadrill, Gliscore, Krookodile (rare), Golurk (rare)
Difficulty: B-S

Rygos Mountains

A large mountain range at the northeast corner of the world, this area is home to many strong and dangerous Pokemon. Rockslides are not common, but also not unheard of, so travelers should be very careful. This mountain range is the only path to The Apex.
Pokemon include: Rhydon, Golem, Flygon, Donphan, Rampardos, Steelix, Tyranitar (rare), Aggron (rare), Rhyperior (rare)
Difficulty: A-S

Gloomy Ruins

An ancient and crumbling ruin that stands atop what legend says was an ancient battle ground against the Darkness. Ghost Pokemon are known to haunt this place in droves. To those brave enough to explore it, much history can be learned in this place.
Pokemon include: Banette, Dusclops, Yamask, Gengar, Spiritomb, Doublade, Aegislash (rare), Trevenant (rare), Shedinja (rare)
Difficulty: S-SS

The Apex

The Apex is a mystical place that only the worthy are allowed to enter. This is the place that a Pokemon may learn the secrets of Mega Evolution. The Apex is able to alter itself specifically to face the Pokemon that seeks to be tested; it is very unlikely that any two Pokemon will face the same trials. It is unwise to come here alone.
Pokemon include: ???
Difficulty: SS

???

This mysterious entity appears in the desert at night, then disappears in an instant. Because of this, no one has ever gotten close enough to uncover what it is. Those that have gotten closest have reported hearing terrible noises and feeling very cold and sickly. Do not approach.
Pokemon include: ???
Difficulty: ???
