Pokémon: Ashes of Dreams [OOC]

[Martel]

Pokemon: Ashes of Dreams

Prologue

From the twisting, smoke-filled clouds, fire rained down. As the war between the humans reached it’s bitter climax, so too did the mountain, releasing it’s fury in an explosion of molten rocks and thick, choking smoke. The descent of the molten rocks tore furrows in the ground as they struck and broke apart with thunderous reverberations that shook the very continent, spreading across the already-charred grasslands and blackening the blood-stained corpses that littered the ground.

The great cities of man had been reduced to ash-layered rubble, their inhabitants swallowed up by war, famine and disease. The world was shattered. It was then that the legendary Pokémon, Ho-Oh, descended from the sky, sheathed in benevolent golden fire, and wracked with sorrow for the loss of life. Using its divine power, Ho-Oh bathed the land anew in fire, reviving those who had fallen, restoring that which had been lost.

And, in the golden flames of the phoenix, people and Pokémon alike new peace. Differences were cast aside, and harmony was once again restored. The mountain’s fury subsided, the smoke-filled clouds becoming white as snow, which then took root, sheathing it in ice.

Ho-Oh then created three guardians of the souls of three noble, fallen Pokémon, and charged them with the task of patrolling the land, guarding it against those with wicked hearts and minds, lest they rise again to power and wreak havoc and destruction upon the land. For, when the land was once again torn by war, Ho-Oh would return once again, to cleanse the world anew with fire and, this time, nothing would be reborn from the ashes of the Fallen.

Few give credit to the legends, of course. These Legendary Pokémon are not objects of worship, and they do not possess powers beyond the norm. They are simply Pokémon that are extremely hard to come by; objects to be desired by trainers, and ignored by all others. However, there are a select few who believe in these legends, and would seek to use their power for their own ends. Soon, they will implement their plans, and the world will be returned once again to ashes.

Of course, they are not unopposed in their ambitions. From across the region, aspiring Pokémon Trainers have travelled to Amber Town, to receive their starter Pokémon and begin their journeys. Some are already out there. Whilst those who are more experienced, the Gym Leaders and the Elite Four, have begun the battle. However, will they be able to stop Team Sol’s ambitions before they succeed?

Be sure to bring some repels with you. The caves are filled with Zubat.

[Sir Fratley]

Name: Robert Masters
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Hometown: Thulian City
Appearance:

Personality: Robert is a calm and collected individual. He always looks at both sides of an argument before interjecting with his own conclusions and opinions. In battles, he has rarely ever lost his composure. he is passionate about Pokemon and takes exquisite care of his Pokemon. He makes their food, grooms them regularly and keeps them in top shape whenever he gets the chance to. He is quite friendly and will not stand for injustice. He abhors trainers who abandon their Pokemon or those who treat their Pokemon like tools. However, he has a fear of being in the woods during thunderstorms due to a near-death experience.

Bio: Robert was born as the youngest of three siblings. His elder brother Simon, left the family a month after Robert was born, in order to pursue his dream of becoming a Pokemon Master. It was a common dream among many trainers. Still though, Robert looked up to his brother Simon and his elder sister Farah. His sister was training to become a Pokemon Breeder like their father was and taught Robert how to raise and care for Pokemon. Simon would stop by a few times a year to visit and often told Robert the tales of his adventures over the video phones when he was in another region.

When Robert was around 7, that was when his brother made it into the Elite 4. Robert aspired to become just as great a trainer as his brother, and trained with his sister and her Pokemon.

One day, while on vacation, Robert ended up getting lost during a terrible storm. Lost in the woods and in the pouring rain, Robert ran about desperately, trying to find a way out of the woods. What he found when he got to a clearing was a nightmare. There were a group of uniformed thugs ganging up on a Latias and Latios. The thugs were using electrified whips while their Pokemon were continuously attacking the already beaten pair. Robert rushed in to try and help the two, despite having no Pokemon of his own and being severely outnumbered. One of the thugs took out a gun and aimed it at the charging boy and fired. Latios used all of his strength to protect the boy and ended up taking a fatal wound. Latias, who was in slightly better shape, took the boy and flew away with him. She used her psychic power to render the boy unconscious.

When Robert woke up, he found himself in a hospital, diagnosed with pneumonia. His parents were there. When Robert asked how he got there, the nurse told him a mute woman brought him in and left just as soon as he was admitted. That story made no sense to him, and he swore it had to have been Latias who brought him there.

However, the family's worries were far from over. Farah had also gone missing as well. Believing that she was probably out looking for him, he, along with the police searched as much of the woods as they could.

Robert made his way to the clearing he had witnessed the tragedy occur. There was no signs of the vehicles he saw the thugs outside of, but he did find one thing at the spot where Latios fell: a Soul Dew. Robert had no idea what it was other than a strange jewel with a mystical feel to it.

Robert decided to strike out on his 10th birthday to begin his Pokemon journey. However, he had much more than just the desire to be the best. He wanted to find Farah, who has since been missing for two years. He also sought to find those responsible for what happened to Latios and bring them to justice.

At Ranch:



Name: Simon Masters
Age: 19
Gender: male
Hometown: Thulian City
Appearance:

Personality: Simon is a genius, but he doesn't brag about his skills. He has absolute trust in his Pokemon and treats them like family. He spends most of his time enjoying nature, going to the malls, just experiencing life with his Pokemon. He is very serious about training and cherishes family more than anything, Pokemon included. In battle, he tends to use hand gestures whenever his Pokemon can see him in order to issue
commands without verbally calling them out.

Bio: Simon is the eldest of the three siblings. Ever since he first saw the Pokemon tournaments on the TV, he was hooked. He wanted to become the greatest Pokemon trainer of all.

Simon was reading books left and right on Pokemon. He listened to lectures, attended classes, getting as much of an advantage as he could before his tenth birthday. However, he didn't see Pokemon as much more than battling partners.

However, all that was about to change. On his ninth birthday, Simon ran out into the woods to go and play. But as the hours passed, he found himself lost. Then he heard a rather frightening noise. There were the crackling sounds of fire approaching him. Heat and smoke began filling the air as the flames began sweeping over the forest. Pokemon were fleeing in droves. Taking the cue from the Pokemon, Simon ran in that direction as well.

As he ran, he saw two Raltses who looked like they were in trouble. A cracking sound from above made Simon look up just in time to see a flaming branch fall down towards one of the Raltses. Simon ran and pushed the Ralts out of the way, only to be struck himself by the branch.

The branch was heavy and the flames were getting closer to him. But soon the branch felt lighter. Opening his eyes, the other Ralts was using Psychic to lift up the branch and free Simon. Simon quickly picked up both Raltses and fled out of the forest.

Ever since then, he spent more time with the two siblings and began learning more about Pokemon and his own feelings about them began to change. No longer were they battle partners, but to him, they were family. Farah was born later that year, and Robert was born right before Simon went to go on his Pokemon adventure, taking both Raltses with him.

Simon proved to be a prodigy among trainers. While Simon had plenty of Pokemon type varieties, he seemed to connect most strongly to Psychic types. He also trained his Pokemon how to think on their own and watch for his hand gestures to perform attacks without the need for verbal communication, only issuing commands when his Pokemon were facing away from him. This played a critical role in his assent through the ranks. No one could predict his strategies because it was something that caught his opponents off-guard. Only a small handful of trainers managed to overcome this tactic.

Eventually, Simon earned his place among the Elite 4 and made history as being the youngest trainer ever to make their way into such a prestigious group. While he is at the bottom of the Elite 4 pecking order, the other members as well as the Champion acknowledge his skill and his heart.

[Shaissa]

Player Bio
Name:
Shace
Age:
18
Gender:
Male
Hometown:
Amaranth Town


Appearance:
He is white, 6’0” tall, short brown hair that is always a mess. He always wears a Black Bandana on top of his head all of the time with Sol’s Logo on the top of it. He has silver eyes. He is always seen wearing Long black pants, and a grey t-shirt with a button up black shirt over it. He has a wolf tattoo howling on the back of his neck.

Personality:
He is very quiet not talking to anyone more than he has to. He tends to keep to himself a lot, preferring to work alone. He only fights to test peoples strength, never to win, or to lose. He doesn’t always agree with what Sol does, but he never will disobey an order either even if he feels it is wrong.

Bio:
At the age of 10 Shace lost his parents, and went to an orphanage. While at the orphanage he always started fights and never made any friends there. At the age of 12 he ran away from the orphanage and started living out on the streets of towns and moved from place to place, stealing food and anything else he needed to survive. While moving around he noticed a wild Growlithe injured on one of the routes. He very carefully walked up to it, gave it some food and wrapped it’s leg up. As Shace started to walk away he noticed the Growlithe getting up and following him around. Shace tried to keep the Growlithe away from him, but the Growlithe wouldn’t leave him alone. Shace deciding the Growlithe needed him, desided to keep it, and that Growlithe became his first real and only friend never putting him in his poke ball. At the age of 14 while stealing from a local grocery store, a Sol member noticed how quick and smart Shace and his Growlithe were while stealing from stores in the town, and the Sol member decided to test him out to become a Sol member. While being a Sol member, Shace used a fire stone to evolve his Growlithe into a Arcanine. In free time to himself, Shace would ride Arcanine around on his back, feeling that was a better way to communicate with Arcanine. Shace passed with flying colors as the would say, and Shace moved up the ranks to a commander. Even as a Sol member he only really talks to his Arcanine and his other pokemon he would capture along the way.

[Martel]

Notis_Caelum: Accepted! Welcome to the RP~

Robert_Masters: Those look good, I just have a few very minor details I'd like to address before I accept them:
- Your starter Pokemon will come from the lab, it won't be chosen for you. The RP will start with you getting it. xD
- The towns and whatnot are in the Information Thread, here.
- Can you bump the levels of your Elite Four member's Pokemon down to Level 70, maximum? Considering you character is only the first member of the Elite Four, and the Elite Four get progressively stronger, that'd put my Elite Four member with Pokemon in the late 80s, and the Champion would have to have Pokemon approaching Level 100. I think I'd prefer to avoid that. Sorry~
Otherwise, those bios are pretty damn awesome! I'm most impressed.

0oPinkSquido0 - Accepted! Welcome to the RP. I particularly like the Zapdos goal...I've left room for the Legendary Birds to be written into the RP if people would want to see them included in the story so, who knows...

Silver Shadow: Just two small details - change the Hydreigon in your team to something else, please. Also, you have three Pokemon on the rare list on that team, and the maximum is two ^^;

DarkPaladin: Accepted! Welcome to the RP~

I'll update the information thread later on with completed bios.
Oh, and one thing that totally slipped my mind: If your Pokemon as two abilities it can have, then pick one of them and mention it in your app, please.

Sorry Chickenwuss, but I'm rejecting that app, at least for now. Check the information post for a list of towns, etc. Also, please be a little more...grammatically sound. The concept behind the character looks fine, but it burned my eyes reading that. If you can clean it up a bit I'll be pleased to accept it~

Also, something else that completely slipped my mind: Pokemon Gender. Could those of you who I've accepted add the gender of your Pokemon to your bios? It's not a huge thing, but it's still something. Sorry for the inconvenience >.<

Also, I'm going to say it one more time: No Dream World abilities on Pokemon.

 

[Whoareyou]

Name: William (Will) Carter

Age: 11

Gender: Male

Hometown: Amber Town

Appearance: Will is of average height and build for a child of his age. He has fairly pale skin and dark hair, with bright blue eyes and a slightly crooked nose. He normally wears a red t-shirt and pair of jeans, with plaenty of spares.

Personality: Bright and cheerful, he is always full of energy. An extremely happy child, it is rare for him to be upset, even whenn he is given bad news, he seems to take it in his stride. This would make him appear rather mature for his age. He is also very determined once he sets his mind to something, so much so that once he has decided he will do something it is almost impossible to reason with him, which may show more than a small amount of stubborness in his character as well.

Bio: Interested in pokémon from a young age, he has spent most of his childhood so far either playing with pokemon or totally obsessed with pokémon TV programs or online research. He has looked forward to actually having a pokémon of his own for yers now, as he has only really had a chance to play with his parents' pokémon up until now.

As his pokémon adventure begins, he couldn't be more excited...

Errm, other to follow, I'll try not to double post them, depends on if when other people post theirs up I suppose, having real issues writing anything right now though.

 

[Squid]

Hrm, are there going to be any girl Characters? I really wanted to have a dude but will change it to a girl if there are no other chicks

 

[Whoareyou]

I might make my elite 4 person female.

Like you said, would make some sense that not EVERYONE in the pokemon world was male wouldn't it...

On that note, still having issues writing anything, or thinking of a decent "Dark" pokemon team, this is harder than I first suspected.

 

[Noblesse Oblige]

I might wind up doing a Female Gym Leader if there are no other chicks Squid. I was only planning on one character really...

 

[Squid]

Trainer Application:

Name: Cameron
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Hometown: Ermine Town

Appearance: Cameron has long brown hair wavy hair that is just below her shoulders, she wears a Pink headband, keeping her fringe out of her aqua eyes. She Wears short Black Bicycle shorts and a baby green V neck tanktop with a hood on the back. Her sneakers are white and black converses and she has white socks pulled up to her knees. She thinks she is rather fashionable.
She also has a Brown satchel which she carries all her pokeballs, potions and other Items in.
Cameron hardly ever went outside while living at home as the raging sandstorms and constant weather changes made it almost impossible which means her skin is rather pale.

Personality: Cameron is a strong willed determined girl, if she sets her mind on something hardly anything can stop her. She has, unfortunately, forgotten how to have fun and often feels awkward around other kids. Dispite being so mature for her age she actually can have a sense of humor and is rather clumsy. She Loves cute pokemon and wants to collect a team of adorables.

Bio: Cameron was born and raised in Ermine Town, living with her mother and Grandmother. Her mum worked as a cleaner in the safari zone just north of Ermine Town and Cameron would stay at home with her grandma.
Her grandma was very old so Cameron would do most of the chores and things on her own, she had become very independant.
At the age of 10 She was going to travel to Amber Town to get her first pokemon to become a pokemon Trainer but her grandmother fell ill and she had to stay home to take care of her.
At 13 her grandmother passed away, her last dying words were "Don't let anything stop you, follow your dreams!"
A year later Cameron felt strong enough to take on the pokemon trainer journey to become a pokemon master, her grandmothers words echoing strongly in her mind.

Pokemon:

Pokemon species: Totodile
Nickname: Reggie
Level: 5
Gender:Male
Ability: Torrent - When HP is below 1/3rd, Water’s power increases to 1.5 times.

Personality: Reggie LOVES to chew things, it must be a totodile trait. If something is dangling nearby or something looks tastey, he wont hesitate to bite onto it. This will get him into a lot of trouble through his Journey with Cameron. Reggie also loves to battle and often starts fights without Camerons consent just to start a battle up! He's also very stubborn towards Cameron

Brief history: Reggie and Cameron meet in amber town.

[AddleBoy]

[Ironman]

My Team Sol Commander will be a girl, but this post is to get my Gym leader up

Name: Craig Hownam
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Hometown: Byzantium City
Appearance: Craig is a behamoth of a man, he stands at just under 7 foot, and has a massive and muscular frame, many trainers have entered his gym and been to scared to challenge him, He wears no T-shirt of any kind, and only a pair of martial arts trousers to cover his bottom half, he has no shoes. his hair is cut short and and his eyes are grey in colour.
Personality: Un naturally calm and collected, even when on the loosing side of a match he doesn't panic and always finds a way back into the match, because he focuses his abilities on Fighting pokemon he expects to be challenged by both Flying and psychic pokemon, and thus he is ready for such instances.

Bio: the Elder of the Daycare centres two son's, Craig always respected pokemon, and found that he got on best with fighting pokemon, it was for this reason he chose a Chimchar as his starter pokemon all those years ago.

he bonds with his pokemon through mutual respect and focus, he trains his pokemon as he would train himself, often having them spar with each other, and himself, he is one of few trainers on the planet who would willing have a boxing match with a hitmonchan, or a kicking match with a hitmonlee, but it is how he is known, the Fighting Gym leader who fights pokemon, another reason for him being intimidating.

[AddleBoy]

Name: Samantha (Goes by Sammie)
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Hometown: Amber Town

Appearance:
At about five feet six inches, Sammie is a bit tall for her age. She has a very thin build and is slightly muscular as a result of helping out on the family farm. She has long, straight, dark brown hair that goes down to her shoulder blades. Her eyes are big and round; their color is as dark as her hair. She has a soft, round face covered in freckles. Her skin is slightly tanned from working outside on the farm.

Sammie wears a baseball cap and leather jacked that are based off the ones her favorite superhero wears on TV. The colors consist of a mix of red, black, blue and white. On the front of the cap and the back of the jacket is the superhero's logo - a masterball with angel wings. Under the jacket, she wears a plain white t-shirt and a pair of jean short-shorts, showing off most of her legs. On her feet she wears a pair of white ankle socks and a pair of sneaker that are also part of the superhero brand (same color scheme). Wears a red backpack to keep her things in.

Personality:
Sammie is a kind girl, if not a little slow and clumsy. Her gullibility makes her an easy target for pranks and tricks. Influenced by her favorite superhero, Captain Red, she has a great sense of honesty and justice. She wears her heart on her sleeve, expressing her emotions openly. It is very easy to tell how she is feeling by just looking at her. Every now and then, her soul ignites with a fiery passion for justice only to be extinguished with a well-aimed water gun to the face by her squirtle. Her wish is to become a hero of justice, pokemon master, and a friend of all pokemon. However, she lacks confidence. She has a long way to go...

P.S.
Don't make her angry. She's a lot stronger than she looks.

Bio:
Sammie was born and raised in quiet, little Amber Town to a pair of farmers who met on their journeys as pokemon trainers. Neither of them made it very far, and reserved themselves to the simple life. However, they both have interesting stories of their brief time as trainer, which they tell to an excited Sammie. Along with stories of days gone by, Sammie was raised on a superhero show called Captain Red that started airing when she was five and ended when she was eleven. The cancellation of Captain Red made her sad for a long time, but now that she is about to start her journey as a pokemon trainer, she has become very excited.

She decided to name her first pokemon after Captain Red's faithful pokemon companion in the television series. The only problem is that Flare was a arcanine and her first pokemon is a squirtle. Flare, being very tricky, frequently takes advantage of Sammie's gullibility and it is often hard to tell which is the real master. They both have a long journey ahead of them.




For Pokemon:

Pokemon species: Squirtle
Nickname: Flare
Gender: male
Level: 5
Ability: Torrent: when HP is below 1/3rd, Water's power increases to 1.5 times.

Personality:
Flare is a trickster at heart, and isn't hesitant to let everyone know that. He likes to abuse Sammie and ride on her shoulders as if she were a pack-mule. It makes him feel tall. He's a bit short for a squirtle. A few other adjectives which describe this pokemon: lazy, disobedient, disrespectful, deceitful....

He is strangely protective of Sammie when she is real danger.

Brief history: Sammie's first pokemon.

at first he was joyous about all the things that people had to teach him, but after awhile it became more of a chore, day in and day out he always had something to be taught and something to learn that it became verry stressfull. luckly he had someone he could just be himself around, flora frezell (in the pick) after long days of training being taught ect., she was always their to chear him up and allow him to be a kid, and usaly had something to say to make every situation better. oneday when he was out in the forest treating an injured manky that passed out just outside the forest, the manky suddenly regained consciousness and started to attack, as the pokemon was just about to attack a venonat came to his rescue and defeated the pokemon after treating its wounds after battle, they became friends. on his 14'th birthday (or rather 14'th year since he first was brought to this town) the town had a big celebration for the next day he would be seting off on an adventure, as was accustom for boys of his age. the next day he awoke to find his adoptive parents wateing for him in the liveing room. they told him that today he was now considered a man and offered him the backpack that his adoptive father was useing the day he was found in the forest, and sent him off. but to his suprize the entire town was waiting for him at the gate, and they each presented him with something from his teaching, pokecenter had a top quality first aid kit, the pokemart had 10 pokeballs that they just got in stock, the trainers hade some potions from their days as trainers ect, soon hid backpack was full. but their was something missing, where was flora? after heading out of town disipointed he did'nt get to say goodbye to his best friend he headed out. about half-way through the forest he herd something, a rustle in the bush in front of him. quietly he reached for a pokeball, and through it into the bush thinking it was a pokemon. but to his suprize he herd a loud "OWW!", caustically he walked to the bush and peered over...... IT WAS FLORA! "what are you doing here?", he asked. and after she explained to him that she wanted to go and got permishion from her parents they set off for the next town.
