Pokemon Battle Island Revolution

“Congratulations Talented Young Trainer’s!

I would like to invite you along to the most splendid, terrific and all around most marvellous event of the millennia. The opening of my Pokemon Battle Island! I have heard of your talent and most obvious gift with pokemon battles and I would like you to come to my Pokemon Battle Island opening grand festival. The whole thing will be publicised and put on television so if you’re aiming to be the next Cynthia you better get your back packs filled and your pokeball’s at the ready. I suppose I better fill you in on where the Island is and what the rules are, but first let me tell you a story of how I came to own such a magnificent place.

Well it all started about a year ago when I was out on one of my grand boat’s you know, by the way it was a cruise liner and top of the range too. Anyway I was sailing on one of my boats doing the usual trip from Johto to Sinnoh when we hit a spat of bad weather which did nothing for my nerves I assure you. Luckily the ships captain and I mean to say controller as I was obviously the captain, managed to keep the boat under control and got us out of danger. After the storm cleared I looked out my adorable cabin whole to see a set of 3 magnificent island’s just on the horizon, I bid the boat controller to head towards them and I found them to be completely desolate that is except for the pokemon. There were more species of pokemon than I have ever seen in one place a most wondrous site to see a swarm of Beautifly and Butterfree soaring across the skies. Now the island the boat had landed on was the largest and most of its surface was covered in tree’s that were so closely grown together it was a forest and the nearer to the mountain the forest got the denser and darker it got too.

Now me and my little group of adventurers walked on through this forest and came to the edge of the mountain but on the way we ran into a hugely vast floral field, it was one of the most beautiful sites I have ever seen! Anyway in this garden of sorts was once again a diverse list of pokemon species from all different kinds of region’s, I saw Kanto’s Oddish, Johto’s Sunkern, Hoen’s Roselia and Sinnoh’s Cherubi and the sweet scents of the garden were to die for!

When we did finally make it to the mountain we discovered that the top half of the mountain was covered in snow, looked rather like a mountain of sugar the way it glistened in the sunny sky without even dripping a drop of melted ice but the most incredible site I’ve seen yet has to be the large waterfall falling down from somewhat 60ft up the mountain and splashing elegantly and near silently into a very deep and very wide lake. Really shocking sights We saw on these island’s it was most remarkable but still I have to say one of the most shocking and thrilling sights was not on the second island which was a large flat field of grass without even a single pokemon on it, but it was on the 3rd and smallest island where to my astonishment I laid my eye’s upon the sight of a volcano which couldn’t have been anything else thanks to the large dip at the top of the mountain which was letting out a small but still relevant breath of constant smoke. Surrounding the Volcano on this island was a vast dessert and upon which it was easy to see was some pretty heavy sand storm’s, the distant cry of pokemon was audible from the island, though we daren’t go on the island in such un prepared gear.

And there you have it and that is the story of how I found the battle island’s but now it is your turn to tell me about yourself, even though I have sent you this invitation it is no garuntee that you will get accepted to the grandest, splendid, remarkable event of the year oh no, you have to also fill in a small sheet for me detailing what kind of person you are, though I already am sure of your battling abilities, I am only going to invite a select few so do make sure you fill in the form’s properly.

We will also be holding special pokemon contest’s if any of the competitors would be interested in taking part in those which will all be shown on television so do remember, the more publicity you get the more famous you will get!

As some of you may be wondering, what happened to the empty island? Well that island has been turned into a hotel to end all hotel’s the latest in technology lines each of the 200 rooms and 5 hotel suites and on the bottom floor of this fantastic hotel is what you may be thinking now, well its only a pokemon centre with video phones for anyone who wants to make a phone call home. Next to the pokemon centre is the doctors area which is for humans to take care of their injuries’ with the help of a certified medical examiner Dr Knight. Now let it be noted that for VIP members there is also a spa in the basement for both trainer and pokemon though you can only enter here if you have your membership card. Outside the hotel we have our own mini mall complete with Pokemon Battle Island accessories and everything a trainer, or pokemon lover could ever want or need with a vast selection of shops selling anything from a basic potion to a very limited stock of metal cotes and razor fang’s. There is also a poffin bakery for trainers to make their own poffin with the berries either bought from the berry cart in the mall or found out on the island! But don’t go yet because theres more! Theres also a food court outside which has any kind of quisine you can imagine from Indian to Chinese, from burger king to KFC and from fine french food to the good old taste of home food! What more could a food lover ask for!

Oh and before I forget the rules of the tournament are that you may only come to the island if I have informed you that your filled in form has been accepted, remember that as the form only has 1 pokemon slot that is all you are allowed to bring with you to the island because of the vast variety and amount of pokemon on the island’s you can catch whatever pokemon you need or desire once you arrive and please do try to be original with your pokemon.

So I hope to be seeing you soon on my own very special, very wondrous and very splendid Pokemon Battle Island.

Yours faithfully,
Sir Regal Rosenfield.”


And so it is that you are one of the trainers who have been invited to the Pokemon Battle Island but do you think you have what it takes to deal with the terrors and dangers of the island? Many stories have been told before about such mysterious island’s and a tournament gone arry by some mysterious dark monster, but will the story turn out to be true? The only way to know is to take that step into the unknown and willingly walk on the ground of danger, mystery and action.

My Sign up
Name: Jamie Starwood
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Description: Jamie’s skin is the pale white colour that most people experience after a particularly long, sunless winter but his is like that all year round and never changing. The dark brown hair on his head is almost always messy as he has the habit of running his fingers through it when he is stressed, blushing or just thinking and he does this usually after taking the crimson red bandanna off, the reason for the red bandanna is to hold his messy hair up so that it all spikes up thus causing it to look relatively styled. The red bandanna is tied in a not at the back of his head and the extensions of the bandanna hang down to just the bottom of his neck and sit on the back of the collar of an unbuttoned tee-shirt which is dressed with a pattern of white and pink with some Hawaiian style floral design’s. Underneath this short sleeved button tee-shirt he wears a pure white tank top and as for the bottom half of his attire, a simple pair of comfortable sandal’s on his feet and a pair of light beige short’s cut to just below the knee. Jamie’s facial features are what some people call attractive, his dark brown eyes have a sort of depth to them and his slightly lopsided smile surrounded by a slight 5 o’clock shadow and his strong cheek bones give him a certain attractiveness that he himself is completely unaware of and his modest biceps and pecks are nothing to be laughed at.
Personality: Jamie Starwood is considered by others to be lazy but the truth is he just enjoys relaxing, if it comes to it he will get up and do what needs to be done that is if it doesn’t take too much energy. This relaxed nature and general softness to the way he talks makes him very approachable both to people and pokemon, this is one thing that Jamie never misses an opportunity to show people at how quick and easy it is for him to approach and pet a wild pokemon. A lot of people bully Jamie for being “different” but he just doesn’t understand why he would want to be like everyone else but if everyone else was like him then it wouldn’t be a problem “To each their own” is his saying. Very open and accepting he befriends people through all stages and steps of life it’s all cool with Jamie.
Anything else: Jamie may not have the quickest reactions when it comes to anything but when competing in contest battles especially is where his talents shine.

Pokemon
Species: Ambipom
Nickname: Ambipom
Gender: Male
Description: He wears a little straw sun hat and has a tiny little buttoned up tee-shirt like Jamie’s except for red and white instead of pink and white.
Personality: Ambipom is is almost an exact copy of his trainer except for sometimes, well usually Ambipom’s curiosity gets the better of it and wonders off to investigate by itself.
Special moves: Bounce as an egg move and Iron tail tm.
Anything else: (Again anything else you think we need to know)

what may I ask is this "brotherhood of the stars"?

Name: Sophi Tesaya
Gender: Female (though biologically male)
Age: 16
Description: Despite being born male, Sophi retains zero physical features of a boy and looks completely feminine. She is rather thin, but not too thin, with a slightly athletic build. She has long bright red hair that reaches just below her shoulders. She usually wears either a plain pink or black tank top with baggy dark blue jeans. On her right wrist she wears a bracelet with many different coloured gems. Being born male, she is of course flat in the chest but this is the only physical features that would be proof she is not biologically female, she even wears a small amount of make-up to further hide it, most noticeably is the red eye shadow of which comes her little joke of being a Banette whenever people ask her why she wears the red eye shadow. Her voice is also feminine sounding too. Over her hands she wears a pair of fingerless gloves of which are completely black with a different symbol on each, on her right hand is the symbol that represents 'female' and the left glove has the symbol that represents 'male'.
Personality: Sophi is a very friendly girl and very caring over anybody she befriends. She hates to hold a grudge and even when she argues with somebody, she will always apologise and even if the other does not accept, she knows that she has made up for it even though the other person hasn't. She is always very lazy and whenever she has a break she can usually be found just lying anywhere she finds comfortable and if not, she'll lay the closest place she can. Once she has adjusted to somebody and gotten over being so shy, she can be a very playful girl and seems to find a lot of fun in even doing the simplest tasks, treating anything as if it was a game, even a serious battle.
Anything else: As can probably see already, she's transgender

Pokémon
Species: Corsola
Nickname: Zavara
Gender: Female
Description: Zavara most of the time looks to be asleep or almost, she is also much more pale than normal Corsola.
Personality:Zavara is by far Sophi’s laziest Pokémon. However she has always been a tough Pokémon and always wishes to challenge herself by fighting Pokémon with strong attacks. She proudly takes the title of the ‘shield’ of Sophi’s team. She has an odd liking of Spicy foods like Tamato berries however she has a sensitive taste and often whines that it’s too spicy for her.
Special moves: Rock Polish tm move and Aqua Ring egg move.
Anything else: N/A

RPG Sample:

Sophi lay back in the tall grass, unable to be seen by any direction other than above, and just watched the clear blue skies and the flying Pokémon moving gracefully across that blue sky. Lying on her stomach was her Corsola, sleeping as usual, and gently blowing bubbles which would grow a tiny bit from her light breathing then pop before they really left the Pokémon's mouth. Sophi lowered her hand and rested it on her Pokémon's body, her fingers softly tracing lazy circles on it's pink coloured body. She could hardly remember what they were doing here but Sophi still was happily content to just lie there and just be lazy.

With a sigh, Sophi picked up the water type in her arms, which woke her up a little, as they began to walk in the hot sun. She stopped again under a shaded tree to watch two trainers having a battle. She smiled to herself seeing that they were beginners obviously, obvious by how they didn't seem to know what they were doing. One of them had a Magnemite and the other a Geodude, the boy with a Magnemite had launched several Thundershocks which obviously had no effect on the Geodude. She got a little shock as the Geodude had attacked with Magnetude, feeling the vibrations in the ground still. Though the Geodude didn't exactly look strong, it did have the large advantage and as such, seemed to rather easily win. With another smile to herself, Sophi recalled her Corsola to let it sleep properly and slumped down against the tree, enjoying the little bits of sun in the shade of the tree that had come through the gaps in the leaves.

What is the "Brotherhood of the stars?"
Name: Luke Alexander Ventus
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Description: Luke’s skin is tan, due to being born in an arid setting (Pyrite Town, Orre). He has black hair that falls across his forehead and slopes to the left. His hair is particularly short, barely covering his ears. He can be seen wearing a poke ball necklace, which holds his Dragonair. He wears a short sleeve emerald green shirt, and knee-length black pants. He wears black sneakers, with ankle-length socks. He has normally dark brown eyes, but his contacts make his eyes deep yellow (like a wolf’s.) He has the facial features of a young man, and normally has a slight smirk on his face. He has a lean physique, though he has well defined calf muscles, which come from his constant running exercises. He wears a black ring with the engravings “L.V.” on it.

Personality: Luke is very calm and laid-back. Though he is laid-back, he is most certainly not lazy. He normally wakes up extra early to run three miles, so his stamina is unbelievable. He enjoys a good laugh, and is always cracking a joke when things aren’t too serious. He is a joker even in battle, giving nicknames to his opponents and their pokémon. He likes to lighten the mode when his friends are sad or angry, and is hardly ever angry or sad. He accidently does dumb things, and subsequently laughs at himself. His phrase is “Why be mad when you can laugh?”

Anything else: He has a scar across his chest from a run in with an angry beedrill. He almost died due to the poison, which may have helped contribute to his personality. He also is good in battles, but due to his Dragonair, he is a contest battler.

Pokémon
Species: Dragonair
Nickname: Izume
Gender: Female
Description: Izume is leucistic (completely white, but still carries the normal black eyes), and has the shiny Dragonair’s yellow orbs. She has a pink bandana around her neck.
Personality: Izume is a show-off; she enjoys using her odd coloration as a distraction in all her battles. She is very fickle, and will show her discontent by using dragon breath on her master. She loves being rubbed and groomed.
Special moves: Dragon Dance is her egg move, while Ice Beam is her tm.
Anything else: Though fickle, she is a very messy eater…

RPG Sample:
Luke walked into the main contest hall. He was greeted by Nurse Joy, who was judging the BlackThorn Festival, the third largest festival in Johto. Luke ran to the desk where she was sitting.

“Hey Luke! What’cha running for, you’re not late yet!” Nurse Joy was signing the “Rules and Regulations” for judging the contest. It was the mandatory forms stating that the judge shoes no bias, and will judge each coordinator fairly.

“Oh good…” Luke sighed a sigh of relief as he looked around. The festival was different from what it was the last time he came four years ago. The town was covered in a medieval theme, with knights, dragons, and the contest hall was dressed up as a large castle. There were white veils, and coat of arms on the wall.

“Let me sign you up… Please hand me your contest pass.” Nurse Joy grabbed Luke’s contest pass, and began typing up the necessary information. Even if there was a medieval theme, there were still computers. As she handed the pass back to Luke, she stamped the contest pass. There was a small dragon face on his pass. “Isn’t this your first time in the festival?”

“Yes it is, and I plan to win…” Luke took off his beige bag, and placed his contest pass in his bag.”I’ll see you later Joy!” Luke picked up his bag, and walked into the contest entrance. It was a dark tunnel with a few torches on the wall. Luke grabbed his necklace as he entered the coordinators waiting room. He was the 4th person to go, and he was pepped up! He turned his head to the big screen television to check out the coordinator.

“Hmm… That was an interesting performance by Jerry Aldos and his Toxicroak… Let’s look at the scores!! Its all 8’s, a hard act to follow! The next coordinator is Jeesebell p) and her dustox.” An eccentric looking woman in a wide dress and pointed hat walked past Luke, laughing manically. Luke sighed as he watched her walk by.

“People get crazier every year…” Luke scratched his head and grabbed his necklace.

“Excuse me….” A young woman with long brown hair and a white and black jumpsuit was staring at Luke. “Are you Luke Ventus? You’re mom told me to give you this.” She handed Luke an old black ring.

“Oh goodness, I knew I forgot something!!” Luke grabbed his ring, and shook the woman’s hand. “Thanks um… um… You never did tell me your name.” Luke stopped shaking the woman’s hand and stared into her dark blue eyes.

“Its Olivia Anderson, but most people call me Livie!” She nodded her plopped down next to Luke. She looked at him, and then turned away…

Oh no…. She’s cute… Luke thought as he blushed a little. He stared at the big screen. It was his turn in the appeal competition. He stood up and looked at Livie. “I guess I’ll see you next time…” Luke began to walk into the archway. He saw Livie stand up and wave.

“Oh… You will…” Livie smirked as she placed her hand in front of her face. “In the finals of course…” She laughed as Luke disappeared into the walk way.

“ …. And now folks! We have the fourth challenger for today!!” The announcer passed as the crowd roared in applause. “We have Luke Ventus, here to show off his skills in the BlackThorn Festival!!” More applause and the announcer walked to one side of the field. “Began on your mark trainer!!”

“Alright! Show’ em whose boss Izume!!” Luke unclipped his necklace, and threw up the Luxury Ball that was on the necklace. There was a flurry of flower petals and a smokescreen as the ball open. “Use Dragon Dance!!” Luke yelled before the smoke cleared. A white serpent began to wiggle in the air, imbued with a red and blue aura that released as the serpent landed on the tip of its tail, still spinning.

“Wow… The colors are remarkable!” The Head of Goldenrod Cities Fan Club stated. The crowd was in awe at the serpent, and the Dragon Dance.

“Now, Izume! Use Outrage!!” Luke yelled as the serpent continued to spin, spinning faster and faster as orange and blue light engulfed the serpent. The stadium darkened slightly as all eyes focused on Izume.

“Dragon… Nair!” Izume shouted as she released the Outrage. As the energy released its self, a small orange shockwave floated through the stands. A tall blue pillar of prominence covered the middle of the field. It was followed by another shockwave of red energy, until the entire pillar dispersed in a blue shockwave. The audience was silent as Izume stopped spinning and lighted down. The crowd exploded in applause, much to Luke surprise. He thought the performance was a little to flashy for the crowd.

“Amazing! The crowd seems to love it!! Judges, what’s your take?” The announcer turned to the judges. “Special Guest Judge Morty from Ercruteak, what do you say?

“I thought it was good! I enjoyed Izume’s composure… I say 9 outta ten.” Morty folded his arms, and lowered his head.

“Remarkable!” The Goldenrod Fan Club Head Shook his head. “9 out of ten is my score!” The announcer turned to Nurse Joy.

“I thought it was good, but a little too flashy…” Luke keeled over as soon as he heard this. Izume staggered around, still in a daze from all the spinning. Nurse Joy pressed the button on her podium.

“A solid 7… So as it stands its 9/9/7…. Sorry Luke, but you will not be advancing to the battle portion…” Luke hung his head down. The announcer took a breath. “Without this beauty here!” The announcer pointed towards Izume. Luke keeled over once more. Izume danced around, and hopped into the air.

Phew…. Luke thought as he called Izume back. Instead of going into her poke ball, she curled around Luke’s neck. Luke moved his hand between Izume and his neck, and opened up some space for him to breath. I thought I didn’t make it… Luke walked out of the Grand Hall. As he reached the waiting room, he looked at the screen. He plopped down as a young boy, maybe two or three years younger than him with a Pikachu and backwards pointing hat walked towards the Grand Hall entrance.

“Let’s go Pikachu!!” The boy yelled as he threw his hands in the air. Luke sighed as he shook his head from side to side.

“I swear…. They get crazier every year…” He murmured under his breath as he looked up at the screen.

“No Pikachu! Not the judges Pikachu!” The boy seemed to yell as the Pikachu began to electrocute the judges.”

Well… he isn’t advancing….. Luke thought as he dosed off …A nap CAN’T hurt…

I know what The Brotherhood of the stars is...But I ain't tellin

Name: Shizuka Koji

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Description: Cody is a pretty casual kinda guy and usually wears the normal Johto style. He evolved it to have a tiny touch of his own uniqueness and style. It critiques his attitude and background a bit. He wears a black shirt with the outlines of a pokeball in red and the circle in the middle being red as well. Outside of his shirt is a pretty nice quality jacket that is opened and has three gold stripes running horizontal on the front of it and has a black base. The sleeves of the jacket go down to where his elbows are and the base of the jacket comes up to where his chest is. He has a little trinket bracelet on his right wrist. He wears cargo shorts with white and blue sneakers over short ankle socks. He stands around 5, 11 and weighs 146lbs. He has untidy neon yellow hair and a sealed scar across his nose that he got in a pokemon battle.

Personality: Shizuka is pretty fun yet serious. His determination calls for a bit of discipline on his pokemon some times, but they understand him. He sees challenges as fun and takes all of them on head first and doesn't have serious expressions while he's battling but he is conducting serious drills and strategies in his head. But when the tough gets going he has to actually use all parts of his brain to thin it out and that’s when he goes into a serious state. He’s friendly to all and is outgoing and daring, he’ll do anything for a good battle, within sanity of course. But there is one thing that sets him apart from the average kid is his beliefs. Most people believe in ghosts and things, but Shizuka sees an explanation for every occurance. He's sorta like Scully from the X-files (excuse my TV reference), he will continue to force that paranormal isn't ghosts, monsters, or aliens. This is quite one of the reasons that he came to the battle island. He wan'ts to dispell the rumors of the so called "legend" that people claim to have happen. Other people sees a monster on the battle islands and the other tournaments, Shizuka sees a pokemon or human in a machine with some business with tournaments, or even just some crazy person spreading the rumor. Even though this makes up a huge part of his beliefs, he doesn't let it seep into his life. Everyone esle sees him as a normal person, even though he is barely like them at all.

Anything else: (Anything else you think we need to know)


Pokemon

Species: Mothim

Nickname: Ziggy

Gender: Male

Description: His body looks like all other Mothim out there. Except for his antennae that are very abnormally long. They are near double of what normal Mothim’s antennae. But unfortunately, they are hidden under a brown detective’s hat. Another bit of clothing is a red tie that is usually disoriented and hangs down longer than the Mothim’s body, but when ever is isn’t, the tie fit perfectly. The last item on the list is a brown suit case that Ziggy lugs around; sometimes he’ll leave it in his pokeball.

Personality: Ziggy is really smart, and he flies around carrying his little suit case and always has something on his mind. His mind is very analytical which really helps out with stuff. He has the ability to link things together easily and solve mysteries. When he’s “off duty” he tends to play around with Shizuka and have fun during travels by simply sitting on Shizuka’s shoulder. His attitude is very determined to win, this builds up his stamina to slug off fights till the end. Though this is a big way that helps him win battles, if it weren’t for his skill and strategies he probably wouldn’t win either.

Special moves: Shadow Ball from a TM, and Energy Ball from a TM

Anything else: (Again anything else you think we need to know)

RPG Sample: Today, we find ourselves in Rustboro City at the local Pokémon Gym. There, a battle is being fought to decide if the trainer will receive a badge to put him one step closer to qualifying for the Hoenn League.

Rayne: Now, Mudkip! Use Mud Slap!

The sturdy creature wet the ground slightly by dribbling water from its mouth, spun around, and flung mud at its fire-type foe with its tail. The opposing Magby was hit hard in the face, covering its eyes and blinding it. It pawed desperately to clear them, but to no avail.

Rayne: Good work! Now, finish it off with a Headbutt!

Mudkip ran full throttle toward Magby, who was still working with the mud from Mudkip's first assault.

Trainer: Oh, no! Magby, look out!

Magby finally cleared the dirt from its eyes, but it was too late. It was caught hard in the midsection by Mudkip's powerful Headbutt. Magby flew through the air and landed with a soft thud at its trainer's feet, completely out of it.

Referee: Magby is unable to continue the battle! Mudkip is the winner! This match goes to Gym Leader Rayne!

Mudkip gave a triumphant cry and ran to its trainer with head and tail held high. Rayne chuckled softly at her youngest companion.

Rayne: Arrogance is a lofty perch to be knocked from, my friend.

Mudkip looked curiously at its owner and tilted its head.

Mudkip: Kip?

Rayne: Don't get cocky, little one. You did battle very well, however. You deserve a nice rest.

Rayne withdrew a Lure Ball from her belt and recalled Mudkip. She then walked over to the young trainer, who was trying to rouse his Magby.

Rayne: You put up a good fight. I suggest you take your Magby to see Nurse Joy.

Trainer: I thought I was so ready to battle you... I even taught my Magby Thunderpunch....

Rayne: Ah, then you did your homework. But since Mudkip has Ground-type attributes, it wouldn't have had any effect.

The trainer looked surprised and then looked sadder than he had before. Rayne never did like to see a kid sad, so she rose, quickly reaching to her pocket as she did so, and offered her hand to the trainer. He accepted and she helped him to his feet.

Rayne: Listen. I want you to train hard. You have a lot of potential, as do your Pokémon. With the proper love and training, you most assuredly can become the next Hoenn League Champ. Remember what I've said to you. It's wise to heed it on your journey.

She quickly turned her hand over and let go, returning to the inner sanctuary of the Gym. As the trainer watched, he felt something in his hand. Upon looking down, he found it to be a shiny, new badge. Instantly, his eyes welled up with tears.

Trainer: Thanks.... I will remember....

And with that, he raced off to the Pokémon Center.

Ok time to start reviewing sign up's.

AlteredegoX - Interesting is the first thought which comes to my mind but mainly due to the gender field lol, but thats ok its quite unusual and I like unusual. The next first thing I have to say is we need more than just Sophi for the name, I need to see a second name. Ok the rest of the sign up is pretty self explanitory, lol your's and my character would get on both being lazy lol Ok well I cant give you a space yet or reserve you a space until I get the rpg sample but so far so good ^^ - Pending

RubyGuardian - A - Ok another character I think mine will get along with because another laid back soul lol I like it and I love what youve done with the colours of the Dragonite, sounds mystical lol I also really like your rpg sample, alot of talking but it keeps it interesting and the way youve laid it out makes for an easy read. - Accepted ^^

Giant Whiscash 131367 - So you think you know what the brotherhood of stars are do you? lol anyway as for your sign up WooHoo somone who ISNT super laid back lol Umm Well I think I need to see more of the personality, so far he is pretty much a usual guy, he hasnt got anything special about him or anything slightly out of the ordinary personality wise so I'd like to see some more info there before accepting you. I LOVE this Mothim he's awesome lol I wish I had a little detective style mothim lol And as for your rpg sample, its pretty good, Im not a big fan of the script style "Name: says stuff" but its still good, except for Mudkip isnt part ground because it doesnt get the ground attribute's until it evolves into Marshtomp. So for now im going to say pending but all I need to see really is more of a personality for the trainer please. - Pending


Oh and Id also like to say I am going to edit my sign up but it wont let me edit my post lol so I am just going to post my new pokemon here.

Pokemon
Species: Bulbasaur
Nickname: Bulbasaur
Gender: Male
Description: The only things different about this Bulbasaur from the run of the mill is that the markingso n its head, the 2 markings look almost like flower marking's, that and he wears a red scarf and 4 little sandles just like the ones its trainer wears.
Personality: Bulbasaur is very different from its trainer and takes matters quite seriously, though if nothings going on theres noting more he likes to do than lounging in the sun with Jamie. Bulbasaur quite often has to be the guy in charge of dealing with a crisis as Jamie is usually so laid back and slow bulbasaur often gives him a helping hand.
Special moves: Energey ball from tm and Petal dance from breeding.

[Double-oh-Platypus]

Can I join? I'd like to know what "The Brotherhood of the Stars" is.
Name: Alice Jerkens
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Description: Alice's straight black hair comes down to her chest and is perfectly straight. She has sideswept bangs that frame her face nicely and sparkling green eyes that are a bit of a shocker due to her Asian ethnicity. She's quite short for her age as well, only peaking at about 5 feet. She also has a slim, athletic build from her time that she spends swimming and running and tries to keep in shape often. She wears a rainbow-striped sun dress with a black and white bikini underneath. Alice's other clothes feature pink and white striped flip flops, a pink Lug bag that holds a pair of runners, shorts and t-shirt, and a pair of bright orange sunglasses. When it's cold outside she usually wears black athletic pants, a long-sleeved t-shirt and a white windbreaker as well as the runners that are packed in her bag.
Personality: Despite giving off the girly appearance, Alice can be quite serious when it comes down to battling, swimming and running. She is bubbly and energetic most of the time and loves the sun, and gets quite crestfallen in the times that it rains. She loves to laugh and tries not to think badly of other people, despite how arrogant they may seem. She can also be quite flirty, but most of the time i's just to get what she wants. In a battle, Alice is confident (well, she's confident outside of battling too...) and gives off the feeling that she knows what she's doing even though she might not. She always gives it her best and never takes losing to harshly, unless it was something totally unfair. Alice is also well known for her constant mood-swings, though she isn't bi-polar. She simply has too much on her mind at one time. ^^
Anything else: She was born in Sunnyshore City, Sinnoh, which may be the reason why she loves the sun so much.
Pokemon
Species: Pikachu
Nickname: N/A
Gender: Male
Description: On his tail, Pikachu has a yellow patch of fur in the brown that looks like a five-point star.
Personality: Pikachu is very much like Alice. He's rambunctious, flirtatious and quite confident. He, on the other hand, does not enjoy losing battles, though he does learn from them. Pikachu holds his own in a crisis and often knows what to do, though when he doesn't he can often think up a plan quickly.
Special moves: Volt Tackle (Special Move) and Iron Tail (TM)
Anything else: Was a gift from Volkner, Sunnyshore City Gym leader, when Alice turned ten.

RPG Sample:

The sun was shining brightly and most kids her age would be out at the beach, but not Alice; not today at least.

On the outskirts of town, one might see a short, Asian girl with her Pikachu, who was obviously teaching it a new attack.

"Okay Pikachu, try again!" Alice encouraged and she watched with joy as her Pikachu charged at a tower of tin cans, its fur bristling with electricity. It tackled the cans with gusto, though it didn't give off the effect she was hoping for.

"You just need a little bit more electricity," Alice Jerkens, told her Pikachu. "Then you'll have Volt Tackle mastered and we'll be a tough combo to beat."

"Pikachu!" the electric mouse cheered before charging at a new stack of tin cans that towered beside the pile that Pikachu had previously crashed into.

This time, the yellow fur of Pikachu glowed ominously until it was almost like a blaze of electricity. With extreme force it crashed into the cans, sending them flying in all directions. Alice quickly covered her head, her orange sunglasses slipping off the top of her head until they were placed over her eyes. When she looked up, Pikachu was sitting in the sand, looking quite stunned.

"Did you see what you did?" Alice asked, quite pleased with her Pokemon. "You just completed your very first Volt Tackle!"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu exclaimed, happily charging towards the next stack of cans and sending it toppling with another Volt Tackle.

"Don't wear yourself out now," Alice scolded as she watched her electric mouse tumble through the cans. "It's still a new experience so you shouldn't over due it." She realized how much she sounded like her mom and she laughed. "But seriously, don't over due it. We want our competition to be surprised with this attack and if too many people see it, word will spread. Trainers everywhere will be saying, "Look out for Alice Jerkens and her Pikachu because it knows Volt Tackle!"

"Pika, pika!" her Pokemon cheered back as it ran towards her and leaped nimbly onto her shoulder. Alice smiled as she scratched the soft fur behind Pikachu's ears. "Shall we get some lunch? Watch a battle at the gym? Watch TV? Go for a swim? What should we do today Pikachu? The possibilities are endless!"

"Pika, pika!"

"A Trainer battle? Where are we going to find one of those?" Alice asked as she pushed her orange sunglasses back onto her head.

"I believe I can help with that," a voice replied from behind the girl. With a start, Alice turned around to see a boy with unruly blonde hair and shocking blue eyes. "How about a battle?" he asked, spinning a Poke Ball on his finger. He was the type of kid Alice took as arrogant and she knew she couldn't refuse anyway.

"Sure, sure," she said, bobbing her head up and down. "I'm Alice."

"Whatever. I'm Josh, if you're wondering. Enough with the formalities though, let's battle." Josh tossed the Poke Ball into the air and with a blinding flash of silver light he released a Nidorino.

"Go Pikachu!" Alice called and Pikachu bounded off her shoulder.

Josh smirked as he noticed the obvious size difference between the two Pokemon and called, "Nidorino, Horn Drill!"

"Nidorino!" the purple Pokemon roared before charging at Pikachu, it's horn spinning rapidly.

"Pikachu, use Iron Tail!" Alice called. Pikachu growled quickly before it's tail began to shine with silver light. It jumped high into the air and Nidorino turned it's head to watch as Pikachu can plummeting back down to Earth, swinging it's tail around. The two Pokemon's attacks collided and Alice watched as both her Pokemon and Josh's tumbled away from each other, hoping that her Pokemon would be the one to win the battle.

Done editing my personality. Sorry I didn't point that out in his personality, but I was just actually going to incorperate it slowly into the RP. Also, I don't usually RP in the script type thing, it was just a passage from my last roleplay. So you probably won't see this is the thread when it starts. xD

Alrighty then... Thank ya kindly! I will not fail you! Lawlz

 

[Jay star]

Double-oh-platypus - Umm well tbh I think you need to put a couple more points in the discription of your character, just a couple of lines to make it at least 5 lines pleace, also your rpg sample is very short, its fine but if your planning on being part of the rpg youll need your posts to be alot longer than that, if you can guarantee me that after you edit your description to show a little more detail I will accept you ^^

 

[Skillfulness]

Alright, this sounds good. I'd like a reservation which means I must post an example of RPGing, correct? Well here it is and just in case...
Brotherhood of the Stars!

RPG Example: My exapmle is from my own RPG, Memroy Reversal.

Marth scooted another inch forward on her seat. She fixed her eyes on the battle between Sidney and one unlucky trainer. It seemed every move she made, Sidney negated with an attack. Her Pokemon had great stamina though so they were in there for quite a while. She gasped as one of the girls attacks hit and cheered with the rest. Marth took time to note the weather. Getting cloudy, she thought. She fixed hers back onto the battles, but whipped her head back to the sky as there was a large crack. She gasped again when Palkia and Dialga seemed to fight their way out of the sky. Then she realized they were really fighting! She dashed to the end of her already empty row and ran up higher to get a better view. As she leapt up the stairs, people crowded down. She politely pushed through, but was knocked down twice. The third time she was knocked over, there was a flash. It almost blinded her and it made the people around her stumble. The chaos did not stop though. People ran over her as the brightness wore off. Marth pushed herself back up and continued going higher. Just before the darkness from the clouds settled in, she froze. Only steps away from the top seats, Marth saw with her eyes that she was in midair! She panicked inside, but couldn’t make herself land. She looked back at the flash and realized the legendary giants were missing. Completely confused, she wasn’t too surprised at the voice from above.

You extraordinary individuals are the only witnesses to this event. Everything of this battle will be forgotten. You will not be remembered as well, seeing as the Memorial Blast is ineffective to you. Search out the legendary Pokemon also resistant, and you will discover why…

The flash and voice faded swiftly and instantly Marth was in her original seat; next to the overexcited trainer and his girlfriend. She breathed unsteadily, waiting for something to happen. She cautiously moved her arm and found it obeyed her. She stood up and noticed the fields were empty. Confused, she turned to the couple.

“What happened? Did I miss something?” she asked probingly.

“Yeah you did!” the guy said excitedly. “The Elite Four kicked butt! None of the trainers stood a chance. Next year though, oh man! I’m gonna sweep them!”

They left hand in hand and Marth thought worriedly. What had that voice said? You will not be remembered… She delved into her pocket for her cell phone and opened it haphazardly. Her contacts were all there, so she called up her best friend, Sarah.

“Hello?”

“Sarah! It’s me! Marth!”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know any Marth. How did you get my number?”

“No no NO!” Marth shouted and hung up. She ran down the steps, almost tripping, and stood at the balcony rail.

“DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THAT BATTLE?” she screamed, pointing to the sky. Her answer was less than sought after. Some people laughed, but most walked on as if she was crazy. She sat in the nearest seat as the stadium emptied out. There has to be someone. The voice said individuals, plural. Since everyone heard me, I’ll wait. Subconsciously involuntarily, tears sprang from her eyes. She wiped them away quickly, but put her head in her lap anyway. She shot back up as the first person approached her...

 

[Double-oh-Platypus]

Thanks. I'll add more to the RPG sample. I didn't actually think it was that short because it looked a little longer before. Haha. Yeah, so I'll edit again and add. ^^

[rosso1111]

Name:Keith Crystal
Gender:Male
Age:14
Description: Keith has pale white skin, due to the fact that he lives in the snowy climate in Snowpoint City. He currently has strawberry blond hair, but continually dyes his hair.His hair is currently in a ponytail, which his parents forced him to style it as , but he changes his hair style as well. He is 5'9'' and and weighs about 100lbs. He has sparkling green eyes and a perfectly chiseled face. He wears a bright yellow T-Shirt with a picture of his Frosslass and deep purple jeans, also with his Frosslass on them. He also wears a necklace in the shape of a snowflake which he was given by his father. The snowflake is made of precious diamonds for only in Snowpoint City. He also wears a ring in the shape of Frosslass

Personality:Keith is confident, energetic, usually cheerful and caring. He is very trusting and honest, which has led to him becoming best friends with his lone Pokemon. However, he is easily distracted, and falls into obvious traps. He also wants to be the best at everything, and gets easily annoyed if someone is better than him. He is also nervous around people he has never met, and is only friends with people he has been with for a long time, except with Pokemon. He is also insensitive sometimes, and says things he doesn't mean to say. If he does say something insensitive, though, he will always apologize to whoever was involved. He is always making jokes, and is, overall, a nice person to be around

Anything Else: His father is the sailor in Snowpoint City and his mother is the guardian of Snowpoint Temple, which immensely annoys Jeremy because he never gets to see them. He is looked after by his grandparents.


Pokemon
Species: Frosslass
Nickname: Louise
Gender:Female
Description: Her outside looks like a normal Frosslass, but the inside is bright red. She wears a snowflake necklace just like Keith did
Personality:Louise is very uncompetitive but will get incredibly hyped up if Keith needs her to be. She hates being forced into things. Typical of an Ice type, she is very cold to everyone, the exception being Jeremy, due to the fact that they have been together for so long. She is also incredibly shy and very suspicious, attacking anyone who she doesn't know
Special moves: Giga Impact is her TM move, and she has Signal Beam, one of her egg moves
Anything else: She likes to dance, which, not only is unlike a Ice type, but is also very annoying sometimes. Her mother was a Glalie and a Ditto.

RPG Sample:As Louise felt the waves reach her legs, she instantly realised what was bothering her. She, with her sunshine yellow eyes and strawberry blonde hair, had no Pokemon to call her own

Suddenly, as her tears touched the sandy beach, a small, bright silver egg washed up on the beach. Louise, not knowing what the egg held, rushed to her parents who, coincedentally, were researchers for Professor Elm living in Sunnyshore city.

When Louise's parents told her that the egg held a Pokemon, she screamed out in joy. After that day she constantly looked after the egg until, on her 9th birthday, the egg hatched, revealing a shiny Poochyena. It's brownish - gold fur enchanted Louise, and she immediately told her parents of her discovery. As they told Louise that her Poochyena was incredibly close to her, she decided to travel the world, creating close bonds with other Pokemon aswell

So, when she heard of a Pokemon Contest coming to Sinnoh, she jumped at the opportunity. As she walked out onto the stage and sent out her Poochyena, she suddenly realised she had no idea what moves her Poochyena had. She thought to herself, and had an idea. She put it into action and got through the first round. Unfortunately, she was eliminated in the semi-finals by a trainer with a powerful Lucario. However, this had got her addicted to contests and, as she stood in the stage in Hearthome City, she hoped that her dream to develop close bonds with Pokemon would come true

 

[TheSequelReturns]

Hmm, I guess I should go ahead a put "Brotherhood of the Stars!" up here. Man, these passwords can be annoying.

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

Name: Ken Reyson

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Description: Ken isn't very tall, at about 5'4''. He has brown hair that is a bit spiked, but not otherwise styled. His eyes are also brown, and he has only a slight tan from just walking outside all the time. His build is about what you'd expect from someone his age, and he generally looks cheerful. His features are a little mature looking, and as such people often see him as a year or two older than he actually is (he actually likes this however). He wears a orange shirt under a white jacket decorated with yellow zig-zag lines near the bottom. He also wears jeans and black tennis shoes. Occasionally, he wears a black cap with a smiley face on it. He is usually carrying a black and white backpack as well.

Personality: Ken is generally a cheerful kid, but once he gets sad its hard to cheer him back up again. He enjoys a challenge or competition of any kind, and will occasionally challenge his friends to random competitions. Friendliness comes second nature to him, and he can't stand it when people treat others badly. Ken will often plan his entire day around a single event, such as a TV show, and as a result is often either rushing to get things done or sitting around wishing that time would move faster. The only thing that really gets him mad is when people call him short. He can get annoyed with Comet's constant drama, but usually only after he does something extreme. As much as Ken enjoys competitions, he really isn't a sore loser and only gets mad if the opponent cheats or does some other underhanded thing.

Anything else: As much as he wants to deny it, he still loves the TV shows he used to watch when he was younger (think Power Rangers).

~ Pokemon ~

Species: Ledian

Nickname: Comet (Full name was "The Crimson Comet")

Gender: Male

Description: Liking the Power Ranger style shows possibly even more than Ken does, Comet wears a silver and crimson jumpsuit that is styled just like a ranger, with lots of sharp lines and v-shapes. A red and white comet logo is outlined in black on his chest. He wears silver gloves and a black visor as well. He also has a durable plastic "lightsaber" style sword that Ken usually carries in his backpack for him.

Personality: Comet idolises the heroes he see on TV, and he seems to want to "improve" on thier style. He uses dramatic, completely over-the-top action poses all the time, and always tries to make each and every attack in battle into a dramatic, "special attack". He is incredibly energetic, and like his heroes on TV he refuses to give up until he is unable to go on fighting. However, his over-the-top style can backfire horribly sometimes.

Special moves: Hyper Beam (TM) and Thunderpunch (Move Tutor)

Anything else: Comet prefers to stay out of his pokeball so that he can be "ever vigilant" for any sign of trouble or danger.

RP Sample:

This should work as a sample. (From Gym Wars)

[lorddarigarn]

Name: Joel Novarus
Gender: Male
Age: 17

Description: Joel is a somewhat imposing character, standing just over 6’ tall and with a somewhat hawkish appearance. He is fairly moderately built, with a well-honed body and a slender yet tough physique. He has dark hazel eyes and short mud-brown hair, spiked backwards and down in numerous layers. His body is covered in a number of minor scars, mostly unnoticeable, the most prominent of which is a thin diagonal slash running across his left eye and almost down to the lip, although he normally takes measures to lessen its stark appearance.

He wears a characteristic black leather jacket, reaching down past his knees and almost always worn open. Underneath this, he wears a thick black undershirt and black trousers, slightly overlong and mostly concealing a pair of worn black ankle boots. A pair of leather gloves run almost up to the elbow, and a silver dagger pendant eternally graces his neck, though it’s often tucked away.

Personality: Jole is normally a stand-alone type. He prefers to work off his own strengths than the strengths of others, and while he will consent to work in a group when the benefits overweight the downsides, it would always be the second option. While he has a close circle of friends, most are put off by his nature, although does not shun company – he just likes to work on his own. While he may find some who he views as worth working alongside, the exceptions are few and far between. This doesn’t extend to his Pokemon – they are his companions and friends, while other people are just baggage, necessary but unwanted. He is used to his independence, and is tough enough to look after himself under most circumstances. He is highly adaptable, quick to adjust to changing circumstances and improvise when required.

Anything else:

Pokemon
Species: Houndoom
Nickname: Kole
Gender: Male
Description: N/A
Personality: Kole is an unusual character. While he is close to Joel, he tends to keep to himself otherwise and can be quiet. He has quite a temper, and while he has a good deal of self-control, when he flips, he flips. He is a ferocious fighter and in it for the win. Losing toughens you up so you can win next time, and every fight against a tough opponent makes you tougher still. While he is not cold as such, he tends to care little for what most people think of him, or for the full consequences of his actions, and Joel is often required to break up a situation caused by Kole’s cool, lofty attitude.
Special moves: Dark Pulse, Overheat
Anything else:

RP Sample: Ethmereal – Roleplayer Guild

John sat silently in his quarters, lying back on his bed crosswise against the wall. One hand supported his head, elbow rested on the windowsill. With the other, he slowly turned his naginata in a gentle figure of eight, both blades retracted. His eyes were closed – he had no need to watch what he was doing, he knew the layout of the room almost subconsciously and the motion was a muscle reflex. It helped him think. His mind wasn’t on anything in particular, flowing imperceptibly from one train of thought to the next.

The weapon curved through the air like a baton, sweeping through the air in a steady one-two beat, a small whooshing forming from the displaced air. One, two. One, two. Running the haft of his naginata along his arm, he pressed a button on the top of his clock, and the screen on the front lit up. 5:47 AM, local time. He yawned slightly, then carefully laid the weapon against the wall and rose. There was no point trying to get back to sleep. Once he started thinking, he could never just cool down. Slowly striding over to a small shower unit in the corner, he stripped off his boxers and let the water hammer some life into him.

Quickly drying and blasting his hair with a tirade of hot air, he slipped on his leather suit. He’d been reassigned to a new team today, and he ought to be prepared in case they sent them team on a virgin mission. It wouldn’t be the first time. John slipped a small datapad from underneath a pile of clothes and flicked on the power. The screen lit up green for a second, then faded to a light glow. He read through the notes he had made, then pressed a small rune just above the main screen. A stylus shot out from the side.

He sat down on his bed, and began to scrawl out his mind in a long, flowing script. When his alarm sounded, he finished the line, slotted the stylus back into the machine and switched the screen off. Tossing it onto the bedsheets, he slipped his naginata over his back and left his dorm. Wandering silently down the streets, he let his gaze travel from side to side as he passed through the unofficial town centre, the memorial fountain towering over its surroundings. There seemed to be something of a scene going on. Checking his watch to make sure he wouldn’t be late for his briefing, he hung back to watch.
