Dialga and the Dark Ridges

Well-Known Member
Time is the master force. Unstoppable, unpredictable, and unrelenting, this power sweeps through everything. And Team Rocket found that out. How, some may ask? Folklore, wise-man's tales, and old legends. A small elite band of Team Rocket have devised a plan to capture Dialga and harness it's powers. These are the only members left of Team Rocket, due to them beggining their studies long ago. After 4 years, Team Rocket scientists have studied ancient stories and have comprised data Dialga and it's signature attack, Time Roar.

With all of their equipment ready, the small group, known as the Dark Ridges, set out to the region of Sinnoh. But before they got to Dialga, they had to test out their equipment. And the wild Pokemon of Sinnoh were the guinea pigs. How did the capturing work? Each member had a devise that depending on the Pokemons weakness, it would send out an attack. If the Pokemon was a Swellow, the device would make an Ice Beam, or a Thunderbolt. For a Fire-Type Pokemon, it would be some kind of Water-Move. Not only does this hurt the Pokemon, but they are also treated horribly, with little food and water, just enough to keep their strength up an ounce. They were sometimes sent to battle other captured Pokemon just for the gang's enjoyment, or to battle the Dark Ridges on Pokemon. If the captured Pokemon didn't well, they locked them in cages.


Officer Jenny's around the region have tried to capture the crooks, but to no avail. Some reports claim that even trainer-owned Pokemon have been stolen. Another rumor is that they have hi-leveled Houndooms, Mightyenas, and other Dark-type Pokemon with them, hence why trainers have failed to protect their very own Pokemon. Not only do they steal Pokemon, but they also steal high-priced things like jewelry. Police sometimes have a lead, but still can note catch the crooks. All that's left behind are is a note that says "Voir ya, la bonne poire!"


Can someone stop this band of Team Rocket members, or will they continue to steal other Pokemon and proceed on to Dialga? Only you can decide.

"What is this feeling? Am I in a dream? I can make out a faint figure. . . It's saying 'Help me! Help me Vincent!'" At that point, Vincent instantly woke up. He sat up, and he looked up, and saw the rosy fingers of dawn spreading across the horizon. He looked around, and saw Aria, his Ariados, sprawled out on the ground, next to a Cacturne, leaning onto a tree. Infront of him was Crunch, a Feraligatr, sleeping while sitting. Startled, Vincent looked up to see three Mukrows flying over head. "Better get going." he said. And he woke up his three Pokemon, and set out.

Marlene took the shortest path possible from Viridian (where she was staying) and the SS Anne. It wasn't that far, but she still didn't want to waste her energy.

YES! I can FINALLY get to Shinoh! she thought jogging.

Ember ran next to her and looked up determinedly. Not only were they getting a new set of badges BUT they were going to help take down Team Rocket!

"Are you ready?" Marlene asked Ember between gulps for air.

Ember shook her head up and down. She wasn't the least bit tired and was more fit than Marlene so she ran ahead.

"ALL ABOARD!" called the captain.

Marlene showed him her pass and hopped in. She look around the huge boat. "So, this is going to Shinoh......." she murmered.

She went to her room and got into bed, I can't wait to get there she murmered falling asleep.

Ty and Blaziken were about to get on the SS.Anne but it left as soon as they saw it.

"Oh man its gone, Blaziken want to see if I can jump on your back and you can jump up on the boat." Ty said not even sure if this would work.

Blaziken nodded in surprise.

"Then lets go" Ty said with his heart thumping swiftly.

Blaziken jumped up with it 2 long legs and they landed on the boat, Ty found his self on the top of the SS.Anne.

"Um Blaziken can you go where people really stand on the boat please." Ty said feeling so scared.

Blaziken jumped down to where people were standing on the boat.

Ty and Blaziken didn't have a pass so they went into a dark spot in the SS.Anne and fell asleep.

Ty was determand to get to the Dark Ridges as soon as possible.

((For those who don't have six pokemon, can we capture OTHER pokemon on our trip? Of course, not legendaries, just pokemon that we may encounter in Shinou?))

Emily, Widow, Mecha & Cozmo
Olivine City Port


Emily looked at her pass onto an exclusive ship to Shinou, Widow was trying to atleast get a small peak at the item.

"Wow, a whole new set of pokemon, and at least three of them for me to add to my team, and, of course, a new set of badges to collect..." She remembered that the salior who had given her the pass, had a wierd, dog-like pokemon with him. Emily had asked what it was, and the salior had relpied that it was a Ludicaro, from Shinou. Emily nodded.

"I really want a Ludicaro..." She was brought out of her world by the harsh voice of Cozmo.

Yeah, well, you're not gonna get one if you don't GET ON BOARD, IDIOT!!!! Emily snapped.

"Watch what you say, or it's back into the pokeball for you!" She turned to see that the boat was just about ready to leave, Emily returned Cozmo (Who refused to go back in) and Mecha to their pokeballs and got on board. Just as they began to withdraw the platform.

---------------------

A few minutes later, Emily and Widow had been escorted to their cabin, so, Emily decided to let her small team out of thier pokeballs. Cozmo automatically came out when Emily touched her pokeball.

"I wish you wouldn't do that... come out, Mecha!" Mecha landed on the ground with a small bump. He spoke up to Emily in a western accent.

"Oh, I hope I don't get seasick, I remember that awful trip to Jhoto, and I threw up at least seven times..." Emily giggled.

"Yes, and seven times Cozmo hit you for doing it on her!" Cozmo glared at Emily angrily, and then settled down on the bed, falling asleep.

Since Ty and Blaziken wanted to get on land before anyone else so they can beat the Dark Ridges.As soon as the boat was about to stop they Blaziken jumped off the boat with Ty on its back and they landed on the ground, "Blaziken not so fast!" Ty said when Blaziken started running into the into the giant forest.

After Ty and Blaziken finnaly met the Shinoh Region they setted off into a giant forest.

While Ty and Blaziken were running in the forest they didn't relize that some dark-type pokemon were fighting other pokemon, "Hey Blaziken its a town lets go to the pokemon center to get some food!" Ty said with his stomach growling.

Ty and Blaziken were eating the great food that was in the pokemon center and stayed there until they were ready to go on their adventure.

OOC: Yes, we can catch other Pokemon, because I want a Pichu xD

IC: Before the S.S. Anne got to Sinnoh, the passengers on the boat seemed startled to find a swimming Feralgatr with a boy riding on top of it. "I can see Sinnoh, Crunch!" the boy yelled, to which the Pokemon replied. "Fer. . Al". Vincent could see that his Pokemon was getting tired. Then, something hit the boat, causing it to swerve towards the two. The captain ran outside and yelled, "We've been hit!" This caused and uproar on the ship. At, this point, Vincent returned his Pokemon and desprately tried to swim his way up onto to the boat. As he was climbing, something hit the side of the boat, almost making Vin (Vincent's nickname, kay?) fall off. But he made it on top, and it was chaos. He rushed to the captain's quarters, but a shipmate run up to him and said, "Please, go and tell everyone in their cabins about the situation. At this point, only Marlene was in her room, getting a good rest. Vin burst in. "Come on, we gotta go, we're under attack!" Vin brabed the girl and ran outside.

OOC: Haha ashes!

Above the S.S. Anne, the sky was split by a small, speeding plane. It quickly turned and changed direction, going back from whence it came, but dropping down from it was something much faster. A large, orange streak, falling downward like a meteor, with something in its arms. There was a flash of light just before it collided with the ship's deck, and the orange creature was gone. In its place landed a slim figure, hair flying in all directions from the rough landing.

He looked up with sallow eyes towards the source of the trouble on the boat. The attack didn't seem to frighten him, or even make him nervous at all. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a walkie-talkie like apparatus.

"Styx here. Successful landing on the S.S. Anne. The boat seems to be under attack, I'm going to investigate."

"-Roger that, Styx. Report back to us when you're finished.-"

"Over and out."

" Drag!"
"Thanx Dragonstar.", "Looks like there is a ship over by the ocean, can you see it Dragonstar."
"Nite!"
" Hey Dragonstar, I see the city. Lets land there!"
"Gonite!"
Alex hurries to the Pokemon center, " Nurse Joy, you need to heal this Pokemon."
" Not another Pokemon! That's the 13th one this week!"
" How is this happening Nurse Joy? Is it another Dark Ridges abused Pokemon?"
" Probably uuh.."
" Alex"
" Probably Alex."
" You don't mind if I stay here for a while to rest Nurse Joy?"
" Not at all Alex."
" Thanks"

Ty and Blaziken heard that there was something attacking the boat. "I shouldn't have left so early, hey Blaziken lets go get some training." Ty said
When Blaziken and Ty got to the boat the was safe but when Ty and Blaziken were heading back to the town they saw a trainer with dark-type pokemon hurting some small helpless pokemon Ty wanted to go out there and beat them.

"Blaziken lets go help'em out!" Ty said getting mad

When Ty and Blaziken got there the trainers were still there.

"Hey leave those pokemon alone!" Ty said

"We don't have to." the trainer said with a big grin.

"Then we'll make you, Blaziken use blaze kick!"

Blaziken had a foot filled with fire and kicked the trainers pokemon causing major damage!

The Houndoom the trainer had was hurt badly on the ground.

But the trainer wasn't done yet.

"Houndoom use crunch now!" the trainer said

Blaziken was bitten on the scar it had on its face.

As soon as Ty had a good look at the trainer he just relized it was that he was a member if the Dark Ridges.

This time Ty was gonna beat him.

"Go Dragonite use Hyper Beam!!"

The member ran as soon as he heard the word hyper but it was to late he was hit and he was in the forest lying there.

Ty brought him to the hostpital and left him there.

After all that Ty wanted to see if the people at the SS Anne were alright.

Um, no, I control the Dark Ridges. And Space Dwelling Dragon, don't double post.

Vin released Crunch and ordered him to jump in the water. "Ferali!" Crunch said, then, three Gyarados' popped up.

"GYRA!!" they roared.

Vin yelled, "Quick, use Water Pulse!"

"Feral!" The Pokemon replied, and sent out a bomb of water that hit the other Pokemon.

"I need help!" Vincent cried out.

" Woah! Watch out Dragonstar!"
A ball of Fire hits Dragonstar's wing.
" Draaaaaaaaaaagoooo!"
" Return Dragonstar!"
Alex falls into the water.
" What was that? It came out of nowhere. Oh well, go DragonFIRE!"
" Salaaamance!"
" Dragonfire, take me be back to land. This water is kind of cold and dirty."
"Salaaaa."
Dragonfire takes Alex back to shore. " Hmmmmmm."
" Firestar, Go!"
" Blaaaaze."
" Firestar, can you trace where that fire came from?"
" Blaaaze?"
" Well I guess you can't. I wonder if that is the work of Dark Ridges attacking the ship?"
" Aziken!"
" OK Firestar, we'll go train for a while."
"Blaaaze!" - :)
Alex and Firestar leave to go train. Always looking back at the ship the further they went.
" Dosaidoooooooon!"
" AAAAAAAAAAAAh! Return Firestar!"

MUHAHAH!!!!
Emily and co.
On Boat


Emily had been resting now for a couple of hours, Cozmo was fast asleep on the bed, while Mecha and Widow slept beside Emily. A sudden alarm brought everyone out of dream land, and an announcer boomed.

"Attention everyone, we have now landed in Shinou!" Emily leapt up with joy.

"At last, I can finally find some new pokemon!" She returned Cozmo (Who yet again refused to go back in.) and Mecha to their pokeballs, and made her way towards the door. Widow drifted slowly behind her, as they reached the exit, a sailor that was keeping security over the door said.

"Thank you for travelling with us, we hope you use us again..." He spoke nothing else, Emily and Widow noticed that they were not in a city, or a village, but, somewhere in a forest, Emily looked around, there were some pokemon she had never seen before, but, she ignored them and continued onwards.

-------------------

Are we there yet? Widow asked, impatient about where they were going, Emily sighed.

"Widow, we don't even know WHERE we're going..." A sudden shrill call made both Emily and Widow look up, there was a brown-and-white bird up in the branches.

"What is that?!?" Emily asked, she had not upgraded her pokedex to Shinou pokemon yet, and didn't have a clue to what it was. Widow asked.

Do you wanna capture it? She asked Emily with an impish grin on her face. Emily nodded, she whispered.

"Do you think you could prevent it from flying away with Hypnosis?" Widow nodded. Her ghostly friend drifted quietly up to the bird, and brought out some hypnotic waves, the creature lulled off, and fell towards the ground, after hitting the ground, the thing woke up. It cried.

"MUKKURU!!!!" Emily commanded.

"Widow, use Knock Off!" Widow charged at it, hitting the target, and sending it flying. Emily paused, thinking.

It said "Mukkuru"... that's what it's probably called... Emily watched as the Mukkuru got up slowly, Widow's level was probably way higher than the bird's level, so Emily had a choice, she could either capture it right away, or she could try and weaken it a little bit more.

"Widow, use Hypnosis, and then follow it up with a Knock Off!" Widow sent out the waves again, and the Mukkuru fell asleep, again, Widow charged at it, and landed another blow. Emily then dug out a Great Ball she had been saving. She muttered.

"I was gonna save this for a shiny... oh well... GREAT BALL, GO!!!!" She tossed it at the Mukkuru, and the ball envoloped it in a white light. Emily fell silent, as the ball wobbled a little bit, before stopping. A loud "PING!" signallised capture. Emily cheered.

"My first Shinou pokemon, MUKKURU!!!!" Emily picked up the great ball, and put it in one of the slots that was in her jacket. She was satisfied... EXTREMLEY satisfied.

First Post...

*Sigh*. Lucas was slowly rowing (He had hired a boat from a place in Hoenn) towards Sinnoh, having recently found out about the new continent, and was interested in what Pokemon he would find there. Xatu was watching the seas, just in case anything happened. Kirlia was practising for a ballet concert, and Combusken was just sitting there, trying not to get wet. It was boring, just sitting there, moving the oars back, and forth, back, and forth. I mean, it was like hard labor. Suddenly, Lucas got an idea. "Hey, Combusken? Do you reckon you could, hold on to the back of the boat and use Flamethrower? And you two, (He directed this at Xatu and Kirlia) hold on to something that's connected to the boat." "Xatu." Xatu used Psychic to connect with the boat, Kirlia jumped under a seat, and Combusken charged up a really good Flamethrower. Lucas himself jumped under a seat as well, and grabbed onto the edge of the boat. "Buuuusk....ENNNNNNNNNNN". The boat rocketed off at a speed that would beat a Jet-Ski by about 10 kms an hour. "WOOOOOHOOOO!!!" Lucas stood up, and nearly fell off the back of the boat, if Xatu hadn't grabbed him. He sat back down, and said "Thanks."

Eventually, Combusken ran out of Flamethrower, and had to sit down. By then, Sinnoh was only 10 km away. "Okay, Kirlia, take an oar." "Kirliaaa". She did so, and they rowed at a reasonably high speed, and arrived at Sinnoh in a round 20 minutes. "Look, guys, it's Sinnoh. Wonder what we'll find here?" "Yukik, yukika, BURI" Out of the corner of his eye, Lucas saw a Yukikaburi, and wondered Should I try to catch it? Or let it go free. Do what you think is right. Please, stay out of my head Xatu. Alright then.

Marlene, who was knocked out from the hit boat, had woken to the captain trying to shake her awake.

"You missed a lot Miss," he said.

"Oh, wow, something adventurous happens and I'm knocked out! Wow, why am I such a WIMP! I get hurt SO easily!"

"Well, I'm sorry, but you have to go, everyone's already gone off the boat!"

"OH MAN!" cried Marlene gathering up her stuff and running off the boat.

"Wow, this place is beatiful!" Marlene said gazing at Shinoh. "Wow. I guess every one headed off already and now I'm all alone... oh well," she said sadly starting her walk to a poke' Center..........


OOC~ Man, I missed a lot sorry!

"I wonder what's going on at that ship now?"
"Nae?"
"What Pokemon is that?"
" Naetoru?"
" What the heck is a Naetoru?"
"Na?"
"Oh well, go Mukkuru."
"Muuu"
" Mukkuru use Brave Bird!"
" Muuuukuuu!"
"Naeeeeeeeee!"
" Woah! Nice Razor Leaf attack. I might as well capture it. Besides I need a Grass Pokemon with a good Grass move. Mukkuru use Ariel Ace!"
"Muuuuukuuuru"
"Naaaaaaaaaaeeeetooooo!"
" Might as well capture it now."

" OK? That was too easy.''

The boat was abondoned except for Vin and Styx. Vince started thinking about jumping in but decided not to. On the battlefield, all was quiet. "Crunch, if one pops up, hit it with Brick Break!" Vin comanded.

"Feraaal." Crunch had replied. Then Vin turned to Styx.

"Well, are you gonna just stand there or are you gonna help me?" he said.
