Pokemon: Earth 2.0

Flicker sagged a little in disappointment. She was hoping for a bit more of a reaction... not entirely aware that inciting a big reaction on a moving hoverbike would be a pretty poor choice.

In response to the boy's question, Flicker looked around. And kept looking, spinning around in a circle. She had not the slightest clue where she was. The Litwick shrugged. She looked a bit nervous for a second, but soon she put on a smiling face again and tried to climb around Reno to reach the handlebar.

I understand that it's Christmas and would not feel neglected if you didn't post for a couple days

Pokemon: Earth 2.0

Myra Hayes

Knoxville, TN, United States

"Excuse me, miss," a store clerk began. "Can I help you find something? You've been looking for quite a while."

Myra looked up from her stooped position, a bit of pink flushing her cheeks. Rows of scented candles lined the aisle surrounding her. She put a handful of small votive candles back on the shelf and stood to greet the clerk.

"Uhh, I don't suppose you've seen a Litwick around these parts?" Myra asked with a sheepish smile, brushing a few strands of peach-colored hair out of her eyes. "She came here last time she wandered off."

The clerk frowned slightly.

"Sorry, I don't believe I have."

"Oh, I might've seen it!" a customer interjected. "I saw a little white thing walking on a roof on Main Street. It was too far away to really know if it was a Litwick, though."

Myra let out a small gasp, feeling the best thrill of hope she'd had all afternoon.

"Oh, thank you!" Myra gushed at the random customer. "You're such a dear. Perry, let's go."

Hearing his name, the Bulbasaur paused his painstaking inspection of candles. He used his vines to place a discounted gingerbread-scented candle back on the highest shelf and followed his trainer out the door.

"We oughtta go back there after we find Flicker," Myra rambled, talking more to calm her nerves than for an actual purpose. "I've never seen a sugarplum candle before. You reckon the real thing smells like that?"

Perry didn't respond. The grass-type was already scanning the roofs and sniffing the air, laser-focused on the task at hand.

Myra and Perry entered Myra's hovercar, Perry sticking his head out the rolled-down window. The girl felt a little anxious about leaving Perry out of his Pokeball for so long. What if somebody saw them and ratted her out to her family? But right now, the lost Litwick was a bigger problem. Risky as it was, Myra needed another pair of eyes to help her. Myra began hovering toward Main Street, riding low and slow to keep an eye out for Flicker.

Meanwhile...

At some point, Flicker's hiding spot began to make a soft whirring sound. Then it began to rise up into the air. Flicker peeked out of the hoverbike's satchel just in time for it to speed forward. The Litwick realized what was happening and put on a mischievous grin. Looks like she was going for a ride!

After a couple minutes, Flicker decided to find out who her kindly chauffeur was. She climbed out of the bag and was immediately nearly knocked off by the wind rushing past the bike. Flicker held on for dear life, eyes wide, flame spurting diagonally from the top of her head. Usually she scared other people, but this time SHE was the one scared..... what a thrill! Flicker giggled, the sound barely covered by the motor and wind.

Soon, the hoverbike slowed, perhaps nearing an intersection. Flicker gathered her bearings and noticed a young black-haired boy driving the bike. With an impish smile, the Litwick silently maneuvered around the hoverbike's frame. She landed right behind Reno with the biggest THUMP her six-pound body could muster and let out a chilling shriek.

Pokemon: Earth 2.0

Myra Hayes

Name: Myra Hayes

Home: Originally from Alpharetta, Georgia, United States (near Atlanta). Now attending college in College Park, Maryland, United States.

Appearance:




Myra is 31 and looks about 10. She is a bit tall and gangly for her age. Her peach-colored hair is cut just shy of shoulder-length. Her warm light brown eyes match the warm smile that’s often seen on her face. She likes to wear pretty “Southern belle” sundresses but will settle for a sweater dress and scarf when it’s cold.

Personality: Myra is typically a bubbly and friendly person, perhaps to a fault. Though she’s okay with friendly Pokemon battles, she can’t stand interpersonal conflict, and will often… bend the truth a bit rather than say something that will make other people angry. That, combined with a tendency to speak before thinking when she gets excited, has led to a reputation of being a sweet and fun friend to hang out with but not a deep friend you can share your secrets with. Sometimes she becomes anxious and jittery when the web of subtle lies grows too big and complex. Myra also has some trouble sticking up for herself and her beliefs if it would involve an argument, instead choosing to wait out or circumvent the situation. Those flaws aside, Myra has a sunny and friendly personality that can put most people and Pokemon at ease, and she is more than willing to help a person in need if she has time to spare.

Biography: Myra is the youngest of three siblings. She has a normal upper-middle-class suburban family, except for one thing: her parents hate Pokemon. They are dangerous, and smelly, and make a mess all over the place with their fur or feathers or boiling magma and whatnot. And trainers are even WORSE. They are just handed free airfare, free supplies, free healthcare for their brutally beaten “companions,” and for what? The entertainment value? The world needs more doctors and lawyers who WORK and contribute to the good of society for an honest living, not more freeloading Pokemon trainers.

At a young age, Myra learned two things: that she likes Pokemon, and how to lie. If she got fur on her clothes after feeding a wandering street Pokemon, she’d say it must have rubbed off from her friend’s clothes. When she joined the after-school Pokemon club, she told her parents she had joined the track team, which was -technically- true and worked out pretty well until she was kicked off the track team for non-attendance.

Of course, becoming a Pokemon trainer at age 30 was out of the question. Myra was urged to apply for colleges and ended up going to University of Maryland to major in Communications. It wasn’t the closest or cheapest option, but Myra said she wanted to get a little distance from home in order to learn how to be an independent adult, an admirable goal. In reality, she wanted to move far from home so her family wouldn’t find out that the college plan was just a facade, and her REAL plan was to become a Pokemon trainer!

Over the past few months, Myra has passed the trainer test, gotten a couple Pokemon, and participated in a few battles between her studies. She has been able to keep her Pokemon secret from her family, and she even paid extra to stay in her dorm over winter break. But now comes the real test: the big family Christmas and New Year's gathering in Knoxville, TN. Will Myra be able to keep her secret for just over a week?

Pokemon:

Perry – Bulbasaur – male – level 11 – hardy nature – Overgrow – Tackle, Vine Whip, Growth, Leech Seed

Myra chose Bulbasaur as her starter because of the claim that Bulbasaur are “easy to train.” She didn’t want an unruly Pokemon to blow her cover. Perry turned out to fit the expectation. He is a rather dependable, loyal, and well-behaved Pokemon, though he acts too serious at times and struggles with the concept of “fun.”

Flicker – Litwick – female – level 8 – impish nature – Infiltrator – Astonish, Smog, Ember, Minimize

Flicker, on the other hand, might blow Myra’s cover and relish in it. She is a childlike soul who loves wandering away and playing Hide and Seek – whether or not anyone else has agreed to play. She misbehaves not out of malice, but out of the pride of being able to escape anyone, get into anywhere, and the innocent (in her eyes) fun of startling people and Pokemon.

Thanks for that, buuuut after writing my character sheet I realized I was triggering myself and maybe shouldn't play that character I worked on for like 1.5 hours. ^_^' New character plan on the way. I'll use cities that have already been mentioned.

I do like the "fishy missions" idea, though, and maybe we could use that as a plot point later.

Pokemon: Earth 2.0

@Balthazar007 Ok, I'm mostly done with a character sheet and will be done tonight or tomorrow. The background ended up being a long story, haha... sorry.

Which starter Pokemon would be available in Baltimore?

Yamask is intriguing me but no confirmations yet.
