Pokémon: The Teams United
Lilycove: a busy harbor city, day and night, receiving and shipping items of all sorts; the people were always kept happy by shopping, sightseeing or throwing parties. One particular party seemed to be extra busy as people were coming into the house it was being held at every moment; it was a mystery how everyone could fit in there, let alone have fun.
Everyone was fitting, however, and having fun. Some of them, though, were going down to the basement to have some “private time”… or in reality, private time with people that worked for the same organization as them or their organization’s enemy: Teams Magma and Aqua. It may seem a mystery as to why they would do that, but in that basement a briefing was being held for select members of those Teams, and it was about to start.
Preparing for the briefing, a man dressed in casual apparel so as to blend in was going over what he was about to explain in his head. Being an Administrator, he had been chosen to give the briefing; in the center of the darkly lit room, a long, rectangular table with several chairs was set up behind him and some agents had already sat down in them and were chatting with each other. Finally, when all of the picked agents had arrived, the man at the head of the table turned around to face everyone else; he cleared his throat and, looking at everyone, began. “Hello everyone, I’m glad you could make it to this briefing. Now, before you fall asleep out of boredom, I’m going to go ahead and say that you better not; this briefing isn’t for any ordinary mission, but one of the greatest importance.” Most of the agents still looked bored.
“Now then, everyone knows that in the regions of Kanto and Johto the main threat is the notorious Team Rocket, and that in our own little home, Hoenn, the main ‘threat’ is everyone in this room; Teams Magma and Aqua, obviously.” The Administrator looked around, seeing that he had gotten everyone to glance at each other, acknowledging the fact that people working for both sides of the threats of Hoenn were about to work together for whatever this mission was.
“However, while everyone knows about us, what most people don’t know is that there are an almost infinite number of realities, and in a few there’s another threat here in Hoenn called Team Frost. They’re very different from us and the Rockets, though, because their goal is to stop all Pokémon training on the planet, and through some sort of research on Pokémon history, they think that millions of years ago, Pokémon were just as intelligent as us. Their title making it obvious, they specialize in Ice-type Pokémon, but that’s not quite how they enforce their will…” A few people straightened in their seats, more curious than they had been in the beginning of the briefing.
“They’re an incredibly brilliant organization, and what makes them such a threat is that they’re very familiar with nanotechnology, Pokémon biology, various sorts of viruses and diseases and methods of artificially creating them and many other usually complicated things that normal people like us wouldn’t understand.” Some of the agents chuckled, others leaning back in their chairs with small grins on their faces.
“Right now, to help complete their main objective, whatever it may be, they’ve allied themselves with a ‘toy’ company named Alzaron Playmates. Alzaron is actually a very popular company that spans all three of the regions, and don’t think that the whole company is just a cover-up; no, it actually is a toy company, except that in a few hundred of its toys are viruses designed to kill humans, and humans only.” Everyone’s faces immediately got serious at the remark, some of the agents a bit nervous although they didn’t show it; they had been used to dangerous missions, just not any quite like the one they were getting briefed on.
“We’re guessing that the virus also does something to Pokémon, but we don’t know what it is. However, we do know what it does to humans, and I, at least, do not like the idea of yet another Team in our domain.” The Administrator paused and looked around the room once more, seeing that most of the agents’ expressions had changed from bored to serious to determined, then continued. “Our Leaders are willing to temporarily work together and send some of the best agents they have, all of you, undercover to infiltrate Alzaron Playmates, reveal its intentions to the public and shut the company down.” Throughout the meeting the Admin had been pacing back and forth, making gestures with his hands for show.
“Your mission as part of Team Snipe, which I happened to so cleverly name myself, is to stop the bomb-toys, no matter how cliché the whole ordeal may seem.” A few agents chuckled once more at the comment and then let the Administrator continue. “And as you probably all know already, if anyone realizes that you’re a part of Magma or Aqua, you’ll be caught, tortured, tortured some more and then possibly executed, so don’t get caught; if any of you are, then the entire mission is down the drain. Dismissed.”
…and that concludes the plot. Basically, you join either Team Magma or Team Aqua to stop a toy company from killing thousands of innocent people. The motive, along with other things, will be revealed as the RPG goes on. And before, and if, you skip on to the Sign Up Sheet to make your character, make sure you read the Rules first to help make sure your form won’t get rejected!
Rules: you must obey these.
-Follow all of the normal Serebii rules; specifically, these and these.
-No swearing, cussing, cursing or whatever you want to call it, because I don’t like it.
-You must have decent grammar! By this I mean your form is almost certain to get rejected unless you use proper spelling, capitalization and punctuation! Remember, you can always run your posts through a spell check if need be.
-Keep your posts rated PG or below; I don’t care if you think that sounds wimpy, but very young people do cruise the forums too, whether they should or not!
-No using killing weapons unless you use them for something other than killing; this RPG doesn’t require death other than threats of it.
-No power playing unless someone allows you to do it to their character or characters.
-You’re not allowed to make any super characters that are good at everything they do, have only the most powerful Pokémon, are amazingly charming, etc.
-Your alias has to be something that someone could mistake to a real name, although you can still have some sort of a nickname that's always used. Example: Samantha "Blizzard" Polkings.
Sign-Up Sheet: this is for making your character; you can have up to two, each being as different as you want them to be.
-Real Name: a name of yours that only those who you trust most know.
-Usual Alias: I think that basically everyone in either Team should have one or more fake names that they go by anywhere other than with someone that’s on the same team as them; list your character’s most common fake name here.
-Age: how old you are; the minimum is eighteen years old, and the maximum is thirty-two.
-Gender: “Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?”
-Description: what you look like. (Don’t describe clothing; that will probably change all of the time. Only describe it in your first post of the actual RPG and whenever it changes, which should be often.)
-Vehicle Type: what you drive or ride, like a car, motorcycle, skateboard or even roller blades; not to be confused with Vehicle Description.
-Vehicle Description: your vehicle’s color, basic interior design (if it has one) and various other notes; not to be confused with Vehicle Type.
-History: how you grew up and memorable events that marked your life and shaped your future.
-Team History: how you came to join your Team and what convinced you to do it.
-Pokémon Team: how many, what species and the names of the Pokémon you have; also mention anything significantly unusual about them, like if your Paras has a claw missing.
-Pokémon Team History: how you got your Pokémon team; don't forget to be descriptive.
-Personality: what you’re like, how you would react in certain situations, the basis of your reputation, etc.
-Skills: what you’re especially good at, like stealth, persuasion, Team cooperation, Pokémon training or whatever.
-Weaknesses/Major Flaws: nothing too major, but stuff like not being very charismatic or not all that good at Pokémon training; basically, the opposite of Skills.
-Other: anything reasonable that I haven’t mentioned that you want to list, but not anything like a major health problem; remember, these agents were specially picked for this mission, and Maxie and Archie would pick the best of the best.
Notes: All characters will be starting in Rustboro City to meet with each other and go to various other places from there, led by two Administrators, one Magma and one Aqua. If you want to know almost exactly where they're going to meet, ask me and I’ll think up an excuse for not telling you as quickly as I can. Now, have fun!
