The Very Best: A Pokemon Roleplay

[FearItself]

Good day, Champion


I send you this email to congratulate you on your conquest over the eight gyms of Sinnoh. It is truly an accomplishment to overcome these obstacles, and it is an honor to welcome you to the hall of the Elite Four. I'm sure you have in mind to challenge the five of us, the first four being the elite four and the last being the current champion, myself. This letter is to inform you that this path is, as of recently, no longer an option.

Over the years, we have speculated that the path through Victory Road and battling through the elite four to become champion has softened over the years. This, in short, means that we feel it is far too easy for you to ascend the ranks and challenge me ultimately. It is no fault of yours or any previous challenger, but from this moment on, you will be succumbed to a much more grueling process that will be a much better analysis of your potential to be a true Pokemon Champion. After you pass this rigorous test, you will, indeed, have the potential to be the very best. I wish you luck.

Attached to this letter is the address of your first destination on this quest. Be there, tomorrow, at noon. Don't be late.

Sincerely yours,
Cynthia





Plot


Your character will be put to the ultimate test. They will arrive at noon on the day after they received their notice. Following their arrival, they will be ferried to an island perhaps an hour away by boat. During that time, the potential champions may get to know each other and each others' Pokemon. Who knows? The person they make the best first impression with may be the one who saves them the challenge.

After arriving at their destination, they will see that they have landed on an island covered by a thick jungle forest. They have been brought to what appeared to them a base camp. They are each handed a sum of 3000 Poke's and told to use this wisely to buy what they needed for their quest. This process will be repeated at each of the individual islands. After leaving base camp, they may only return once per island if they may have an emergency, but only once. Otherwise, they are on their own.

The champions continue on their journey, making their way through the islands and facing any challenges they may come up against. These challenges could span from illness to rampaging wild Pokemon to food shortage to fights amongst champions to any other problems that may arise. The details are up to you.

Legendaries may not be owned or possessed on your character's Pokemon teams. They may, however, make rare surprise apperaances to aid the weary travelers on their quest. But that is a very slim chance, mind  you.

As you have already been told, the first island is a jungle-like island. The second island is a charred, actively volcanic island. The third is a barren winter wonderland. The fourth is one large labyrinth of a cave, the hardest part of the entire journey that all elite four have been through at one time. In the last island, the champions will face Pokemon stronger than they have ever faced before, and will most likely need to rely on others in order to be successful. It is up to your character to make and break alliances if they so choose. Will they be the loner, the conquerer, the coward, the clueless? You decide.

This roleplay is a survival-based roleplay for a reason. Your character will need to do whatever it takes to survive in the four different islands and climates. They will need to use strategic, complex thinking in order to cope with the hardships of being out in the wild, hundreds of miles from civilization. They will already be armed with a rather apt Pokemon team. After all, they have beaten all eight gym leaders.

Have fun, and try to survive.





Rules


1.) Six Pokemon per team. You can have less if you wish, but no more. If you buy Pokeballs at the base camp and catch Pokemon on the islands, you'll have to return to base camp or wait until the next island to swap your Pokemon out. The base camps serve as Pokemon Centers and Poke Marts in a sense.
2.) Your character has to eat and drink every (roleplay) day. This is realistic after all.
3.) You know what the islands are like, but your character doesn't until they experience them. Therefore, they won't know how to set up their team accordingly. They can have a well-rounded team, but not a planned team. Get it?
4.) Not everyone can be all by their lonesome. The point of this is to work together to overcome problems with teamwork and act like a true champion.
5.) Limit to one shiny per team. Don't go crazy. You can catch one on the island if you want and if your character doesn't already have one, but remember, shinies are horribly, horribly rare.
6.) There aren't technically levels and stats in this roleplay. It's all relative. Just remember to be fair.
7.) Like I said, it's not technical. Your Pokemon can have more than four moves. Use any move you want, as long as your Pokemon can learn that move, of course.
8.) No getting across the island in one (roleplay) day. The islands are of decent size. Your character will take at least a few (roleplay) days to get through them.
9.) Ferries at the end of each island leave at noon each day to take champions from one island to the next. If your character doesn't make it to the far coast of whatever island they're on by that time, they will have to wait until the next day to board and go to the next.
10.) Your character and Pokemon can die if you do not take care of them.
11.) You kill Pokemon for food, not animals. Roast fished Magikarp over the fire, not trout. Etc.
12.) Proper spelling and grammar is necessary. I won't accept any less.
13.) I will expect you to type out your character's speech in quotations, OOC in parenthesis, and actions without any asterisks. Write as if you were writing a book, with proper syntax and such. I utterly detest asterisks, they're the easy way out. Use description, make someone actually want to read your post.
14.) I have full charge over this roleplay. Only moderators have more control than I do. I wouldn't try to overstep that if I were you.
15.) Have fun. There's no prize for making it off of the last island first, but whoever does make it will be exalted with the elite four and deemed the most deserving of champions in the history of Pokemon mastery.
*16.) About Black and White generation Pokemon: I "guess" you can use them. If you're really compelled to use them, go ahead, I won't stop you. Serebii.net has a Black/White Pokedex with all their abilities and movesets and such, so you can use that. I personally don't like picking Pokemon I haven't had the opportunity to use myself and know/understand, but it's your choice. Have fun typing out those Japanese names every post.

Personality: Nerina has to be the most hard-headed girl anyone would ever come across. She is very opinionated, and relies heavily on strategy, whether it be in a battle or an argument. Though when caught in the moment she tends to act impulsively, bypassing her often thorough and strategic personality to jump into the fray. As with most females, her mood often heavily affects her thoughts and actions, which could either work to her benefit or work against her in often hilarious ways.

Nolan's Profile
[spoiler]Name: Nolan Ces
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Personality: Very heart full and loving. He cares about ever creature and person alive and will do anything to help them. But he is very serious and wise, as he lived with his grandparents his entire life, learning all he could from them. He has one big flaw in thinking he is always right.
Appearance: Standing at an astounding 6' 6", Nolan is a collosus man with a wiry frame. But he is stronger than you would believe. He has a gruffy beard he constantly shaves, and his hair is a mess from living outside with his Pokemon (since he can rarely afford a nice place). He has only 3 sets of clothes. 1 - A plain white t-shirt with plenty of mud stains and whole with an equal dirty pair of blue pants. 2 - A well kept black suit 3 - A thick coat and heavy pants. Each for the occasion.
History: Nolan's father died on his own Pokemon adventure, and his mother died just days after giving birth, so his sister and himself moved in with his grandparents. He stayed with them until he was 22, when both his sister and him left for their own journeys. He wanted to be a Master like his father had tried, but his sister went onto Pokemon Contests. Nolan himself has 2 contest badges from when he tried it out.

Pokémon:


Breed Of Pokémon - Haunter
Nickname - Boogey
Gender - Male
Ability - Levitate
Move set - Hypnosis, Nightmare, Dream Eater, Curse, Mean Look, Shadow Claw, Poison Jab, Perish Song.
History - At a young age, Junior was having nightmares, which was being caused by a Gengar that snuck in and hid in his closet. A Haunter then came, hungry, and ate the nightmares caused by the Gengar, the Haunter then hid under his bed. When the boy discovered the two ghosts, the two ghosts then discovered each other. By singing a strange song normally not known by these Pokémon, the Haunter then scarred the Gengar away. Ever since then, the Haunter hid under Junior's bed and ate only the nightmares Junior had. When Junior got interested in fighting with Pokémon, he just threw a dusk ball under his bed and caught the Haunter.
Haunter now will normally not stay in his Pokéball, but instead just hide in Junior's backpack.

Ability - Intimidate

Move set - Frustration, Swords Dance, False Swipe, Metal Claw, X-Scissor, Wing Attack, Steel Wing, Cut.
History - As a Scyther, this Pokémon was not shiny; this Pokémon was one of the few Pokémon that was forced to evolve by Team Rocket, but it rampaged with Frustration. Team Rocket tried to catch it back, but it managed to escape with injuries. It ran into a Bannet while escaping and got cursed. The Bannet fled but the curse kept going on, the Scizor still moved as if it had no pain. Junior found it in a Safari Zone, when he threw rocks at it it got mad and sprinted towards Junior, so in fear, Junior threw a Safari ball and caught it instantly. This Pokémon is really strong, but will often not listen to it's owner.
Because he was forced to evolve, his coloring is a little odd.

Gender - Male
Ability - Chlorophyl
Move set - Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Synthesis, Leaf Storm, Roost, Leach Seed, Defog, Fly.
History - When Junior decided to leave, his parents told him to visit often, then they gave him a Tropius his dad caught when he was a trainer. It already knew Fly.

Gender - Male
Ability - White Smoke
Move set - Devastate, Purgatory, Fire Blast, Attract, Snatch, Bug Bite, Dig, Wrap.

Other: Pokéhistory.^^^

Lux's Profile
[spoiler]Name: Lux ((not to be confused with the Luxio))
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Personality: He is very quiet and reserved at first. Will slowly open up a bit as he gets to know people.  He's very analytical and thinks everything through unless he's really angry, but that doesn't happen often.  He can act like everything's fine when he wants to die on the inside.  Or he can act needy when he doesn't need anything.  He'll act completely different with different people.  He won't seem like he cares but he really does.  In fact he'll probably do anything for you even if he hardly knows you.  He's very helpful, but not very approachable.

Appearance: Intimidating on the outside, Lux is a scary looking dude.  He has shaggy light brown hair that is reaching his eyes and ears.  He is often brushing his bangs towards his left eye.  He has gray eyes with a cold, emotionless glare.  Under his left eye there is a thin scar from a knife.  Lux has the body of someone who has never known comfort.  He's tall and thin, but completely solid and compact, he could out run, jump, climb, and fight anybody if he had to.  His clothes look like they could have once been nice.  He has some plain undershirts he wears with different jackets, gray, black, and white.  He has a black hoodie he occasionally wears, he always has the hood on to the side so it covers more of his left and less of his right.  He carries everything in a nice heavy-duty hiking backpack that he lives out of.  On his back there are three scars that run diagonal across the center.  He doesn't even know where they came from.

History: Lux has never had a home.  He never knew his parents, and has run away from more foster homes than he can remember.  He stays on the streets until he's caught and brought back.  He met his Mightyena and Houndoom on the streets.  They became friends, and Lux never even pretends to own either of them.  They entered some junior competitions and Lux was seen as a prodigy.  When he turned 16 he ran away again and never looked back.  He illegally and unofficially entered the Poke League and has been one of the best ever since.

[spoiler]Name: Shiloh Drayze (deh-ray-zee) (people call him Shy, Zee or Raye).
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Personality: Likes to have fun and joke around. Always smiling, the glass is half full type. He focuses more on having fun then doing work and can be lazy. But he's loyal and behind that innocent mask is a powerful Pokemon trainer. And he still has a drive to win, so his father can be proud.
Appearance: <--- a lot like this, with light blue eyes and messier blonde hair.
History: Left home at 10 to be a great trainer, like his father was. His dad's Pokemon, an Arcanine, had babies and one of them was a shiny Growlithe. That was his first Pokemon ever. And since then he's been traveling the world, collecting Pokemon and creating an armada that could rival the elite four. He had a little sister, Shitaki Drayze, but she was only 7 when he left so he hasn't seen much of her. His dad died before he could become the very best, so he's made a promise to do it so that his dad can see from wherever he is now. Now him and his sister are at the place together and he plans on reconnecting with her, but he also needs to kick her ass and everyone else's for the prize.

Rachel's Profile
[spoiler]Name: Rachel Drayze
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Personality: Sarcastic and cynical. She's an extremely hard worker and very outspoken. Very stubborn and won't stop something once she's set her mind to it.
Appearance:
History: She was born mostly under the care of her mother, since her dad was strict and seemed to think of women as lowly servants. He spent all his time coddling Rachel's older brother, ignoring her. So when her brother left, Rachel was constantly neglected by her father. When she turned 10, she also set out to make her father proud, although he barely noticed her disappearance. The only thing that alerted to him that she had gone was that another one of the Arcanine pups had been stolen, which she took to start her journey. Since then she's been following after her brother, determined to prove herself to her father. She went all around Kanto (her region), collecting Pokemon and beating gyms, on the road to the Elite Four. When she learned of her father's death, she was devastated because she was never able to make him notice her and really see her. But now that she has started this journey, she won't stop until she's completed it. And that means beating her brother to the finish line.

Favorite Pokemon Type: Psychic/Ghost
Particular Survival Talent: Rachel is a mechanic at heart. When it comes to the inner-workings of something, she's got the answer. She can create inventions from whatever's lying around and is very adept at setting up a tent.
Other: Might as well throw in some Pokemon history (mostly so I can use it as a reference)-
RAY - Rachel got the runt of the Arcanine's pups. She and Ray formed a special bond right away and it was clear that when Rachel ran away from home to chase after her dream, she was taking Ray with her. They've been together forever and battle side by side. Ray is immensely loyal and kind, but suspicious and cold to people she doesn't know.
BLUE - Rachel got Blue from Professor Oak. He was her second Pokemon. He's a bit of a show-off and can be cocky. When he's not in the mood, he's extraordinarily lazy, too. But he's also determined, and hates losing, so Rachel and Blue fight together well.
JOEY - Rachel found Joey in Viridian Forest, after a long time of searching. He proved to be a worthy catch. Joey is a trickster (getting along best with Krueger) and values speed over strength. He enjoys traveling and is probably the most active of the group.
KRUEGER - Another trickster, Krueger was the only one, besides Ray, to choose to travel with Rachel rather than be captured. As a Ghastly, Rachel had spent hundreds of her balls trying to catch the laughing Pokemon, but with no luck. After she gave up, he willingly followed her. No one knows exactly why, though. Krueger is another trickster, always getting a laugh out of something, but he's also the strongest and creepiest of the group - enjoying more scary tactics than low comedy gags like Joey.
AVADA KEDAVRA - The wisest and most pensive of the group. Avada Kadavra (AK, for short), usually sits in silence and meditates. He is the greatest help when it comes to analyzing other's moves, and can use telekinesis to talk to Rachel. He's very humble, as well.
PANDRA - A clumsy and happy-go-lucky dragon. What Rachel thought would have been her hardest capture, turned out to be her easiest. As a young Dratini, she continually caught onto Rachel's fishing pole in the Safari Zone. Time after time, seemingly doing it because it was fun. Eventually, Rachel managed to keep her in the ball, and they were immediate friends. Pandra is trusting and loving to all, like the Team Mom of the group. But like a mother, she becomes outraged when any of her family are harmed. Besides that one berserk button, she's a fun and lovable dragon.[/spoiler]

See, now this is MY kinda RP.

Name: Nolan Ces
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Personality: Very heart full and loving. He cares about ever creature and person alive and will do anything to help them. But he is very serious and wise, as he lived with his grandparents his entire life, learning all he could from them. He has one big flaw in thinking he is always right.
Appearance: Standing at an astounding 6' 6", Nolan is a collosus man with a wiry frame. But he is stronger than you would believe. He has a gruffy beard he constantly shaves, and his hair is a mess from living outside with his Pokemon (since he can rarely afford a nice place). He has only 3 sets of clothes. 1 - A plain white t-shirt with plenty of mud stains and whole with an equal dirty pair of blue pants. 2 - A well kept black suit 3 - A thick coat and heavy pants. Each for the occasion.
History: Nolan's father died on his own Pokemon adventure, and his mother died just days after giving birth, so his sister and himself moved in with his grandparents. He stayed with them until he was 22, when both his sister and him left for their own journeys. He wanted to be a Master like his father had tried, but his sister went onto Pokemon Contests. Nolan himself has 2 contest badges from when he tried it out.

Lux - Luxio is very nice, but also the most powerful of the group

I kept it to 6 moves a Pokemon. Felt right. Tell me if I need to change anything.

[Kayo]

I'm slightly confused, but I'll just learn as I go. So I start with 6 pokemon, but I can catch more? Instead of starting with final-evolution pokemon, I'll be somewhat realistic and start low. Then they can evolve as I play. And I love some of the BW pokemon (and i hate some too) so I'll be using some of them.

Gender - Male
Ability - Flame Body
Move set - Flamethrower, Will-O-Wisp, Evil Eye, Energy Ball, Calm Mind, Shadow Ball
A strong special attacker. Knows a variety of different moves, and it often uses Will-O-Wisp then Evil Eye for massive damage. (If you didn't know, Evil Eye is a new attack that does double damage on a pokemon with a status condition.)


Breed Of Pokemon - Gardevoir
Nickname - None.
Gender - Female
Ability - Synchronize
Move set - Psychic, Calm Mind, Grass Knot, Thunderbolt, Reflect, Light Screen
A very caring and friendly Pokémon. Not unlike other Gardevoir, she will go to any length to protect her trainer and his friends. She uses Reflect and Light Screen to shield her partners and friends from enemy attacks.
 

Breed Of Pokemon - Swampert
Nickname - None.
Gender - Male

Particular Survival Talent: Good at quick thinking, coming up with ideas based on the turn of events.
[/spoiler]

I'll add more later.

[Magnum]

Also, it might be best to start this AFTER or DURING Winter Break. That way people cramming for finals have a chance to come here and start this.

K, we already have 8 badges, so you're suppose to be relatively badass already, so you can have whoever you want :]

[Matt]

Well well, this actually sounds like fun. Quick question before I begin filling out the "Character Profile Sheet", considering this RPG takes place in Sinnoh, does that mean that trainer's original region is Sinnoh as well? Or... can they be from a different region such as the Kanto?

[FearItself]

They can be from any region they want to be from. They just have to congregate in Sinnoh on the coast of Sandgem town to catch the boat. The islands they're going to are off the coast of Sinnoh, but they actually aren't considered part of any region. They're pretty much uncharted, except to the Elites that have already done the challenge and taken their place in the Elite Four long before.

And yes, your character should be strong enough to be ready to face the Elite Four and the Champion, theoretically. Before receiving the email from Cynthia they were prepared to fly out to the Pokemon League and challenge the Elites. So, your teams should reflect that Pokemon League level of power. I suppose you could have one or two that aren't fully evolved if you want to, but your character will find the islands significantly more difficult. All of the Pokemon you may encounter on the islands are as strong, if not stronger than the Pokemon the Elite would possess.

Yes, you can come into the challenge with six Pokemon. At the base camps at the beginning of each island, you are allowed to purchase Ultra Ball(s) with the 3000 Poke if your character so chooses to spend their money that way. If you then see a wild Pokemon you like on the Island, your character can use their current Pokemon to weaken it and try to catch it. After it's caught, of course, if you already have six Pokemon, the Ultra Ball will teleport out of your character's hand. There's a makeshift Pokemon Center at the Base Camp at the beginning of the island, there for switching out Pokemon or emergencies if you or your Pokemon get seriously injured during the challenge. But, going back to the Pokemon Center at the Base Camp for whatever reason sets you back a decent distance compared to everyone else in the challenge. While you're backtracking to rest up and/or switch Pokemon out, other people are moving forward. So, just a thought.

Also, your Pokemon can learn moves as you go, I suppose. But the situation in which they learn them has to be believable, of course. Remember, you can't bring any worldly possessions with you to the challenge, so it can't be a TM move or a breedable-only move, or a tutor move that your Pokemon suddenly learns.




Yeah, I think I'll give this RP some time to collect some more members before it starts. I'm not caught in the midst of the finals-mayhem myself, but I know some people who are, so I'm in no rush. :b

[Kayo]

In that case, I'll evolve my pokemon now before I start. I'll edit my post sometime soon.

[Matt]

I keep rereading the sentences that mention moves and I'm still confused... I mean, are Pokemon able to have moves that can be learned through TMs coming into the challenge? I have everything else done and accounted for, just a tad bit befuddled about the moves.

[JrDude]

Interesting, I may come back later to try this.

Assume you already got 8 badges and beat the Pokemon League. This is post-league. Your pokemon should be powered up. Because you probably used TMs during your Gym challenge. Or at least decent HMs like Surf.

Yes. Your Pokemon can have any moves they want (as long as they can learn them somehow) at the start of the challenge. Those would be the moves that they acquired through your character's personal raising and training of them. However, upon entering the challenge, if you want your Pokemon to learn new moves, it has to be believable. They can't just got and learn a move that's only breedable, it'd most likely be a move that would be obtained by leveling somehow, because that's the only credible way your Pokemon could learn a move in the challenge, since your character won't have access to TMs or HMs or tutors.

Right. I planned on having the high level moves (like learned above level 50) learned later. So the super-awesome-powerful moves will come with time.
