Phoebe finished her sandwich and watched her new pokemon graze on weeds in the sidewalk cracks. She was glad she chose a herbivorous pokemon over some of the "more popular" species, like Charmanders and Poocheyanas. Those species were mainly carnivorous. Their trainers rely on either hunting wild pokemon or spending much-needed supplies on freeze-dried Rattatas. Twin could feed himself. Hopefully. Are weeds healthy, or are they junk food for plant-eaters? Whatever; Phoebe will make sure he eats grass and leaves too.
Twin looked up and snorted. Phoebe followed his gaze to a faraway humanoid figure; someone waving at her. She froze. What should she do? It was common knowledge that no one on the Surface could be trusted, not even a person with no pokemon out. In fact, that made the person more suspicious! They could have some giant Nidoking hidden away in a pokeball, trying to get close and then steal all of Phoebe's pokemon and supplies.
Phoebe slid off the car. Twin looked at her, waiting for instructions. "Wait." She said, "Let him get closer."
She waited until the figure--a boy, vaguely familiar--reached about twenty feet away, "Stop!" Phoebe called, "Who are you?"

Alright, I'll post now! The train is half full.
@Lost: Umm...That train that was about to derail, so Superman had to literally stop it by getting run over and pretty much crushing whatever the front part of a train is called.
That train. :P

I kinda wanna post, but I don't wanna leave people behind....
FIRST POST UP!
CHOO CHOOOOOO MOTHERFERS!
CHOO CHOOOOOO MOTHERFERS!
Phoebe squinted and slowly circled her pokemon. The Girafarig stood still, both heads watching her carefully. She looked it up and down, making mental notes on what training he needs.
"Yeah, you'll work." She said. Twin resumed his spot sitting against a rusted out car, while Phoebe chose the hood. It was two hours into her pokemon journey, and she hadn't even left Old Saffron yet. This city seemed to stretch on forever. She stopped for a lunch break here in the middle of the suburbs and decided to give a thorough inspection to her brand-new pokemon. The man she bought him from let her see it, but returned him to his ball before she could finish. This Girafarig--named Twin--met the qualifications for a new trainer's pokemon: level 5, healthy, and friendly around humans. He wasn't that strong, though. His muscles weren't nearly as big as her family's Miltank, and she was only level 15. Phoebe needed to train him up quick.
"Did get my money's worth." Phoebe muttered to herself. Twin's ears twitched, but she shook her head to signal she wasn't talking to him. It was a habit of hers, to talk to herself. She did get her money's worth. She paid two bushels of corn for him, a cheap price for a rare pokemon. The breeder said it was because Girafarigs could only serve one purpose; fighting. Their meat was tough, they laid only one to two eggs, they had little milk, and they weren't big enough to be beasts of burden. Besides, he only had one Girafarig, who was male, so no baby Girafarigs. Phoebe hoped Twin could fight, or both their lives are at stake.
Phoebe munched on her sandwich and looked up at the sky. It still amazed her, seeing something so big and blue. She'd heard about it in school, of course, and there were pictures and video. Still, it felt odd...Like being so small, with a sky so far away, but also right above her head.

Artyom was not having fun.
His 15th birthday happened to be on the exact same day that his father planned to set off on his trading route, taking Pallet Town's cotton harvest out on the road to trade to the Stations. Artyom decided to come along for the free ride, at least to Viridian Station. Route 1 wasn't too dangerous thanks to the foot-traffic, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Besides, he dad's caravan was pulled by the biggest Tauros in the history of the world, and not even Arceus wanted to mess with him. Tauros was awesome like that.
But not even Tauros could stop the weather. Artyom thought it was great that his first day on his journey was marked with bright blue, shining skies. After an hour in the sun, he decided against it. It was just so hot! His water supply was already half gone. He dad said not to worry, that it gets hot all the time on Route 1, but Artyom's eyes stung from the sweat and he wished he had an umbrella. Sandy lay next to him, lazily picking at the ropes that kept the cotton crates still. She seemed fine with this weather, which made sense, since she was from Route 1.
"Look! There's Viridian City. Not too viridian these days, but the forest is. It's just after the city. I'll drop you off here, okay?" His dad said, pointing out a copse of leafless trees in the distance. Artyom squinted and realized they were dead. He remembered all the stories his mother told him, how Viridian City was full of life, thanks to the thick forest between it and Pewter. Hopefully the forest was still alive...

XD I think you misinterpreted, Worm. What I meant by that was that was who Giratina/other legend arise (though I was referring to Aura specifically in that scene) "chose" to carry the egg. She doesn't really have Giratina's soul in her.
Alright. I'll accept him then.

IMO Mega Evos are made to make crap tier pokemon very good and viable at the loss of their items. Gardevoir was NU tier til mega, then it got bumped up to OU due to hyper voice pixilate hitting for 135 base before its STAB that goes through subsitute. And who used Mawile in any team before the mega evo? no one. Same for Kangaskhan, Pinsor, ext.... It might seem stupid, but it really breaths life into a stale comp scene.Plus having a boss pokemon is a pretty fun concept.And I edited my post. He is a very universal pronoun to talk about someone who's gender you don't know.
Not gonna happen Archmage. We don't need any more villains either.
I've yet to accept Delta's new character. I'm waiting for them to answer my question as to what the "girl with a soul of a legendary pokemon" in their history is.
I'm iffy on a psychic egg-legendary connected character, but I'm willing to accept that. However, I am VERY iffy on the "girl with a soul of a legendary pokemon". That's not what I'm going for in this RP.
