☙ Introduction ❧​

Many years ago, the great one known as Arceus created all known life. He created powerful beasts to control the aspects of the world, and with their help created the place we call home. The beings he created have come to be known as “legendary”, huge beasts that have control over aspects of life. Some that control time and space, others that represent life and death, and even ones that represent the weather. With the help of these beasts, Arceus came to create the rest of the Pokemon and even bring forth humans; however he could have never foreseen the events caused by the dimensional rift that tore through the sky.

The rift appeared suddenly, without warning. Arceus at first, assumed that the guardian of space, Palkia had accidentally created the rift and would come to close it in time. He could never have been so wrong. Odd creatures began pouring through the rift, things never seen by the legends at the time. They were different, odd, more similar to the humans that Arceus had just began to create than the Pokemon that wandered freely. Also unlike the legends, there were multiples of each one; countless amounts of one, similar to regular Pokemon rather than the grotesque twisted beasts that swirled in front of the legendaries. However, there was one exception, the one that controlled the beasts was huge, towering threateningly over them and seemingly the only one similar to itself.

It referred to itself as the great lord Necrozma, and recounted it’s life within the alternate dimension it had come from. It spoke of harsh times, war, and the deaths of many and seeing Arceus’ almost perfect world caused it anger. It lashed out, attacking all the legendaries and Arceus himself. Many fled, but one legendary of each of the respective types that Arceus had created stuck around till the very end to lend Arceus their power.

The war waged on for centuries, until it seemed to reach a stalemate. The leaders of each side were weakened, and their forces had diminished as time went on. Necrozma offered Arceus a truce, in exchange for equal power over the mortal realm along with understanding the eighteen elements that Arceus had created. Arceus accepted in order to save the legends that fought alongside him during this war, but Necrozma had other plans. Upon Arceus’ acceptance, Necrozma fired an extremely powerful concentrated beam at Arceus and the legends that had stuck alongside him. Once the attack was finished, Arceus stood, extremely weak and on the verge of death and looked towards his fellow legends. Each of which had fallen to the attack, they lay behind him motionless.

Arceus was mortified, he asked Necrozma why he had done such a thing, to which Necrozma replied that he wanted control over this realm, and all realms and would do anything to obtain his goal. He prepared another attack, ready to finish Arceus off when one of his own soldiers stepped in front of Arceus. It was the young imp-like beast, she begged for Necrozma to stop, stop all this violence and go home. Necrozma grew angry at her betrayal, finishing her off with a single strong slash. Arceus sat, knowing it was his last stand, he was prepared to accept his fate. Necrozma focused on him, ready to provide the final blow.

While he was preparing his attack, the twins of day and night jumped through the dimensional crack. Solgaleo and Lunala stood in protest to Necrozma, and he was unprepared for what came next. Using their combined power, the twins forced Necrozma and his minions back through the portal they had come through and sealed him inside with a spell crafted by them and the four guardian Tapu’s.

What came next was an era of peace, and a heartbroken Arceus. His companions had died fighting alongside them, however Arceus foresaw more danger in the future that he would once again need their help with so he told Solgaleo and Lunala a prophecy to hold true.

“100 years of peace will follow the defeat of Necrozma, until he able to break his chains and come wreak havoc upon our world once again. Those who have fallen today will be reborn eighteen years before the date he will free himself, they will be triumphant over Necrozma once their full potential has been realized.”

Solgaleo and Lunala held onto the prophecy, knowing the date would one day come. Arceus himself, went into a deep slumber after speaking with them to conserve his energy and be able to live another day.

☙ Your Character ❧​

The defeat of Necrozma is a long told legend within the Pokemon world, it has been told for countless millennia and is well known to people and Pokemon alike. Many have assumed it is just a legend, similar to the legendary Pokemon spoken about in the story, as no one has seen them with their own eyes. However, the prophesied day is coming fast; and you’re beginning to feel something calling to you.

Your character is one of the eighteen reborn legends, who has been reborn as a human child eighteen years before the day Necrozma is said to return. That day is your birthday, the day that you would go from being seventeen to being an adult. Little do you know, there are children all throughout the many regions just like you; born on the same day and feeling like something is calling to them. Each child has been having odd dreams where someone refers to you as an odd name, not your given name but something similar to one of those legendaries spoken of in folklore.

(The RPG will start one week before your birthday... with the dream happening two weeks before)

After the dream, your beloved Pokemon that you received in your life suddenly began talking. No, not the usual Pokemon chatter; like actual human words. You also realized that very suddenly you had some sort of odd powers, be it like shooting fireballs from your hand or little jolts of electricity it certainly wasn’t normal.

☙ Powers ❧​

Due to a lot of questions, I've added an extra section about the powers. I'm not extremely fussy about the powers, it can any move of your type or even some moves outside your type but please have the majority of the starting powers be your type.

*Note: These powers do not have to be moves your legendary can learn, as I said; any moves but mostly moves of your type. If you use moves outside of your type it is fine especially if it fits with your character.

☙ Rules ❧​

• Following all Serebii rules is probably important, just saying.
• Yes, you’re actually a legendary Pokemon and starting to have some powers but I ask that you don’t make your character like a literal GOD.
• I’m gonna say this is around a PG-13/PG-15 sorta thing, there will be some battles and some darker moments but nothing too serious. It’s Pokemon after all.
• Evolving your partner Pokemon needs to be approved by me! Any new powers your character gets also need to be approved by me. There will be points in the RPG that I allow you to add another.
• Most humans in this iteration do not believe in the presence of legendaries and believe that the Pokemon coming through the dimensional hole was all a fairy tale.
• You’re allowed a max of two characters, but you may only reserve one type at a time.
• When reserving please state your desired type, partner pokemon, and legend.
• All that being said, you’re given mostly free reign over everything else. With a few exceptions that I will mention with the sign ups.

☙ Sign Up Rules ❧​

There are a few personality elements I would like you to include based on your type, it's only four very small ones; you can expand on them and add anything else you may like to your character’s personality. It’s just to give you a basic sense and be able to expand from there. Your legendary is also more or less your choice, as they were not specifically mentioned within the backstory. However, I ask that you do not take a legendary that would force someone to not have one. (For instance, unfortunately Bug is stuck with Genesect; as such steel cannot use Genesect.) For this portion, any unreleased Pokemon are off limits, as are Solgaleo and Lunala, and all four Tapu Pokemon. Your choices will be clearly listed in the next section.

Due to a few tweaks to the plot this time around to keep old players on their toes, poison will not be the type I instantly take. It will remain open with an explanation as to why they're an ultra beast instead of an actual Pokemon.

[Hydrangea]

Name: Beatrice "Bea" Calder
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Female
Hometown: Icirrus City, Unova

Type: Ice
Legendary: Kyurem
Powers:

★ Glaciate: Bea blasts an extremely cold wind out of her hands, causing her opponents to feel sluggish.
★ Hail: When Bea gets agitated, she can spark up hail storms that apply small amounts of damage to her opponents.
★ Ice Hammer: Bea creates a large hammer out of ice and swings it at her opponents. Due to the sheer size and weight of the hammer, Bea herself feels very sluggish after using this move.
★ Aurora Veil: Bea uses the hail and snow around her to create a barrier for herself and her companions that reduces the damage they take. (*This move can only be used in a snow/hailstorm)​

Appearance:

Beatrice is rather small, standing at a bleak 4'10" and only weighing around 120 pounds. Although her short stature may make people believe she's young, her body type makes them instantly think otherwise. Her body is curvy, suited to that of a woman. Her breasts are an average C cup, nothing particularly notable about them. Her skin is pale, making her noticeably flush when the temperatures drop below 0. She has freckles, nothing wild or vast, but they dart around on her cheeks and above her nose. Only truly appearing on her face. Her eyes are very large, and a stunning dark blue. Many have compared her eyes to the depths of the ocean, as nothing truly reflects on them... yet they are filled with all sorts of emotion that she keeps buried deep. Her hair is black, long and wavy and often styled to come over her right shoulder. She wears a blue beanie at all times.

For clothing, Bea usually dresses somewhat fashionably... but she ensures she'll always be ready for whatever weather is to come. Her usual attire is a dressier, a white fashionable button up with a collar and a high waisted blue skirt to complement her beanie. She often also wears a light blue faux fur jacket, usually open and just for fashion purposes --- but occasionally she'll button it if the weather gets brisk. If she's seen without her jacket, she'll often throw on a white jumper with a snowman on it, with the collar from her other shirt peaking out from under it. She wears black stockings with plain blue flats to compliment her outfit.

Personality: To say Bea has the appearance of someone meek would be an understatement. The girl is extremely easy to miss in a crowd, especially due to her keeping her head down and not speaking to anyone else. She only speaks when spoken to, often giving choppy answers and trying to cut the conversation as short as possible. She's difficult, hard to read, and even harder to actually befriend. She prefers solitude, being left to her own thoughts and not forced to interact with other people. She has a long term friend in Dee, who is the only person to see her brighter side and make her laugh. As well as Khione, her Alolan Vulpix that was a gift from her mother. She doesn't speak much to begin with, probably because her apathetic natured thoughts would get her in trouble with other people... or maybe because she's just shy.

Bea is very much a "half-empty" sort of person. She's very pessimistic and nihilistic, not understanding why she should help people and Pokemon she's never met before... especially if her foe is going to be so strong that there is an imminent sense of dread and failure awaiting her. In truth, Bea is actually a very timid person. She's afraid of death, afraid of what comes after it, and she most certainly does not want to put herself in the face of it at any point... not that she exactly has a choice.

It's rare to see Bea smile, she often walls herself up and puts on a cold facade to keep people away. Worried that if she lets anyone in, they'll just leave her. Her true colours are mysterious, and it is unknown if she is just acting cold to make people avoid her or if she's actually as cold as she puts on. She puts herself before others, not due to believing that her problems are more important --- but believing that she needs to take care of herself before others. A positive light to Bea, is her intellect. Bea is extremely intelligent, but she often refuses to share her ideas with the collective. She's throughly cunning, determined to see her ideas through to the end no matter what it takes. But due to her silence, she often appears malicious to others --- scheming about her ideas as she does them.

Bea is actually extremely sweet on the inside. Her personality is bright, cheerful, and joyous. However, due to her past and her strong distrust of people, only Khione and her longtime friend Dee have seen her real side. When she's around other people she often puts on her coldfront, even with the two of them around.

Continuing on positive notes, Bea is a very stalwart person... at least to herself. She is loyal to what she believes in, and it is extremely rare to see her opinion on things shift without some very strong prodding from others to get her to do so. She's ruthless in her ideals, and will hold onto them till the end of time. She refuses to change herself into what others want her to be, and this has garnered some people to throughly respect the young girl's unchanging attitudes.

History: Beatrice Calder was born to an Alolan Scientist, Margaret Calder. Beatrice's father was, and still is, a mysterious figure. Margaret refused to disclose any information about him, claiming that he was a terrible man who flew the coop as soon as Margaret announced she was pregnant. Yet, Beatrice had a fairly good childhood. When she was young, far too young to even remember, her mother moved her from Heahea City to Icirrus City in the Unova Region. Here, she decided to study the affects of weather and their correlation with certain Pokemon. Margaret was the best mother she could be, raising Bea with enough love and affection to make her feel like she had two parents. However, Beatrice still felt a certain sting of rejection --- never knowing exactly why her father never wanted her.

Beatrice became withdrawn from others, as any friends she made in her formative years would either move to larger cities or simply stop speaking to the girl. She already had minor rejection issues due to her father, and the absence of any friends was causing the girl to slowly being a steep descent into depression. Extremely concerned for her daughter's wellbeing, she sought out the small circle of peers she had made in her short time in Unova --- stumbling across another mother with a child who was having an equally difficult time making friends. Not due to shyness, or personal issues, but rather due to a heavy attitude problem. The young girl's name was Deeandra, and although Beatrice was nervous at first... her and the girl really hit it off.

Dee and Bea became fast friends at the age of ten, spending every possible moment they could together. Despite all her issues and the cold exterior she put on, Dee could shatter it all. She quite literally broke down the walls that Bea put up, causing her to open up more, smiling and laughing wildly at the petty insults and forced angry rants that Dee would go on. It was ironic they were so close, especially because their birthdays were the same day --- meaning they could always celebrate together. It was a beautiful friendship, and they remained as close to each other as possible. Dee would sleep over at Bea's one weekend, and Bea would sleep over at Dee's the next. It was peaceful, charming and lovely. But as the saying goes, nothing good can last forever... and this was certainly the case for Beatrice.

It was winter, bitter and cold. Beatrice would always remember it for as long as she lived. She was sixteen, a few days after her sixteenth birthday to be exact. She was walking home with Dee, chatting about all the bad things they had done on their birthday that they wouldn't dare tell their parents about when they both noticed the bright lights coming from Bea's house.

Fire. A sweeping fire who's heat could be felt in Bea's heart.

Bea screamed, trying to run into the house --- knowing her mother had been home doing her research that day. Dee held her back, getting the attention of a neighbour to call 911. As the firetrucks arrived, it was too late. Margaret was gone, burnt in her laboratory. They couldn't pinpoint if she had died of lack of oxygen or due to the flames that lapped at her and ate her away... but they knew she was gone. The only thing the firemen could give her was a Love Ball, engraved with the name "Khione" it contained her mother's precious Alolan Vulpix... the only thing Bea had left of her mother. Now, Bea had no one. No one except Dee and Khione. Bea became even colder, having even more trouble showing her positive side, even to Dee. Everything felt like it collapsed on her at once, but luckily Dee's parents were there to allow her to move in with them so the girl wouldn't have to be alone.

Her life was mostly uneventful after this, she had pushed everyone away but Dee and it was nearing their 18th birthday. Bea hated birthdays, they reminded her of everything she had lost in that fire. As she laid down to sleep, she began to have a dream. Something twisted and odd. She saw two figures, a feminine one and a masculine one. They began to speak, forming incoherent words before she saw two sets of eyes open. They roared for her, calling to her in a name she didn't understand. "K...yr...uem." The two voices called, summoning her. "KY...UR...EM" The voices called again, louder. She could only stand there, her legs feeling sluggish and huge. "Come to the... H.... legends.... we... beg" It was hard to make out, she felt like she was underwater as they spoke to her.

She awoke suddenly, jumping upwards with such force she almost threw Khione off the bed. As the white Vulpix's eyes opened, she tilted her head and looked at Beatrice before opening her mouth and... speaking? Beatrice blinked rapidly, wondering if she was still dreaming. Khione shook her head and explained this was very real, and that she needed to go to the Hall of Legends. When Beatrice asked how she knew all this, she explained that she was a Messenger of the Legends, an actual godsend that was going to lead her to where they needed to go.

"So... where is this hall?" Asked Bea, only to be met by a furrowed brow and a frustrated sigh from her vixen companion.

"We'll know when the time is right." Replied Khione.

Now, it's a week before her birthday... and Bea feels something pulling her towards a location that she can't fathom. She knows that Dee would never believe her if she told her... so she'll just have to sneak away.

Other:

★ Bea is a Homosexual (closeted)
★ Bea loves the color blue
★ She is extremely afraid of fire

Partner

Name: Khione
Species: Alolan Vulpix
Gender: Female

Appearance: Khione wears a blue scarf that Bea made for her

Personality: Khione is the complete opposite of Bea. She is undeniably warm, speaking in cheerful tones and often looking at life with a very optimistic outlook. Nothing can frighten her, and she often charges into danger headstrong --- wanting to destroy any evil that stands in her way. She's generous, enjoyable company, and tries her best to keep her master positive... especially after everything that has happened to her.

Misc: Khione is mildly mutated, not actually born an Alolan Vulpix but rather the result of Margaret's research. She is named after a Greek snow Goddess.

[Samayouru]

Put me down for a reserve for Psychic and Mewtwo if possible? Thanks in advance!

WIP yo!

Name: Phoebe Eliot
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Hometown: Cerulean City

Type: Psychic
Legendary: Mewtwo
Powers:

Barrier – Phoebe can create a force field that can shield up to two people including herself. While this force field can’t protect her fully it can take the brunt of full-on attacks for a short amount of time, minimizing the amount of damage said attack will give on contact.

Future Sight – A more passive ability. Phoebe can enter a trance-like state that allows her to see briefly into the future which she then “transcribes” by drawing what she has seen into her sketchpad. This ability can take a lot out of her and can only be used once or twice a day – any more than that would leave her unconscious.

Psycho Cut – An offensive ability. Phoebe can manifest two scythe-like blades using her arms. These blades can be used to break objects or to attack opponents. Constant use of it over a long period of time can drain her physically.

Aura Sphere – Harnessing her inner power allows Phoebe to create a ball of blue energy that homes in on opponents. Constant use of this ability over a long period of time can drain her mentally.

Appearance: Phoebe generally has shadows under her large silver eyes and always appears disturbed or tired, when in actual fact she feels completely fine. She keeps her frizzy grey hair mid-length and sometimes perches a pencil behind her ears if she needs to remember something important. She stands at around 5’7” and has quite a lean figure, with pale skin that creates quite a striking contrast against her eyes and hair colour. Phoebe’s nails are also quite short thanks to her habit of chewing them whenever she gets stressed (she has started trying to counter this by applying a kind of nail polish that makes her fingernails taste bad when she starts biting). She tends to fidget a lot too, and while this isn’t so bad while she’s drawing or studying, it can become quite blatant if Phoebe isn’t doing anything to occupy herself.

Phoebe is particularly fond of wearing clothes that are generally muted colours such as grey, beige and pale shades of colours like yellow. The clothes she is most commonly seen in are usually practical, her favourites being a dark grey waterfall-style cardigan with a mustard and cream striped sailor top underneath. Alongside this is a set of torn, pale-slate coloured pair of denim trousers and brown, well-worn hiking boots. Phoebe also wears a Star of David stung along on a string of leather and is never seen without it. She has a small sketchpad and art supplies that she takes everywhere she goes and can often be seen scribbling in it whenever she gets the chance. Most of these drawings are either poses from people and pokemon she watches as they pass by, or of fantasy-themed creatures she creates whenever she gets really bored or can’t see anything in the real world that she wants to draw.

Personality: If one was to try and spot Phoebe in a crowd they would have a hard time doing so, she generally blends in and is uncomfortable being the centre of attention. While she is quite skilled at the things she enjoys she does find it hard to take on compliments, often saying things like: “oh, it’s not my best work,” or: “I could do a little better,” as a response to praise. She tries her best to get a job done, no matter how large or small, and always makes sure that she does the most she possibly can to the point of obsession. This line of thinking can also creep into her everyday life which can lead to her attempting to perfect mundane tasks like cleaning or cooking. Phoebe has ruined many sketchpads as a result of erasing too much of pictures she isn’t satisfied with and destroying the surface of the paper she’s working on.

In addition to chewing on her fingernails to relieve stress Phoebe also tends to chew on her pens and pencils when worried – particularly whenever she is evaluating her own behaviour. She is her own worst critic, and no matter how many times she is told that she’s a good friend, Phoebe will have trouble trying to believe it. She only sees the worst in herself or the flaws in her work, and is always comparing herself and her art to others thinking how flawed she is compared to them. This is true with her love life as well – Phoebe has never had a boyfriend or a girlfriend, and that is mostly due to her inability to see herself as anything but unlikeable. She finds it difficult to receive trust and keeps promises that people give to her fresh in her mind – and retreats from her potential partner if this promise is broken.

When it comes to others, Phoebe is the exact opposite. While she finds it hard to accept trust, Phoebe is more than happy to show others that she fully trusts them – even though those people are far and few between, and usually have to coax her out of her shell a lot. She tries to see the best in others – and takes it personally when she is pushed away or believes that she can’t see any good in the person she’s trying to help.

History: Phoebe’s history isn’t all that exciting really – she was born to your typical working middle-class family in the heart of Cerulean City. Both of her parents were Jewish and she was brought up in a traditional Jewish household. Her father owned a thriving art supply business and it was thanks to this that Phoebe found her passion as an artist at an early age, drawing something nearly every day. It wasn’t long before she found out about Cerulean Cave – a tourist hotspot where – according to fairy tales – a powerful pokemon used to live. Of course the legend of such a pokemon existing had been debunked many years before Phoebe was born, but that didn’t stop her from checking it out every so often.

Cerulean Cave wasn’t what Phoebe expected at all – to most people it was just a large cave that had a decent bit of cultural history surrounding it. But to her it was something else – it felt comforting and calming – and she found that she could clear her mind much easier whenever she visited the caves no matter how many times she went. In fact she visited them so much that the staff decided to offer her a volunteering job when she turned fourteen, considering she appeared to be quite passionate about the location and she accepted within a heartbeat. Even though the job mostly involved keeping the place clean and in order Phoebe loved it, it allowed her to reflect on her thoughts and sharpen her mind, something she never really got to do in the noisy heart of Cerulean or at school.

It was during her volunteering days that she crossed paths with Horatio – a Drowzee owned by the manager of Cerulean Cave Tours. Horatio would often be with his owner around the premises and took a liking to Phoebe almost immediately. It wasn’t long before her boss revealed to her that Horatio was actually blind, and had to rely on his abilities much more than other psychic pokemon. He would join her during her cleaning duties for company while his owner did other things and while they never spoke to each other verbally Horatio was able to converse with Phoebe using his telepathic abilities, as most psychic pokemon were capable of doing. They became extremely close friends – so much so that Horatio would come over to visit her when she wasn’t at work.

Eventually her father approached her and, after seeing how dedicated she was to her volunteering job, decided she was responsible enough to receive a real job as an assistant in his shop. While Phoebe was uneasy about the prospect of letting go of her work, she eventually agreed with the prospect of saving up enough money for the future. The parting gift she received was Horatio who – according to her boss – had decided that he wanted to stay with her as her partner. While her parents weren’t quite expecting her to come home with a pokemon they were extremely thankful for the assistance the Drowzee gave in the shop – particularly when it came to moving heavy objects or stacking things on shelves using his mind. Life after that was fairly normal until she turned seventeen.

And then the dreams began.

At first Phoebe didn’t think much of them – most of them were of her wandering around Cerulean Caves, something she assumed was from her memories. But as time went on she began to notice that the caves lacked the things she was used to seeing – no safety rails, no lights, nothing. She became aware of everything – every sound, every movement from pokemon meandering about the cave and the thick coldness of the air – and began to develop severe headaches while she was awake.

And then, two weeks before her eighteenth birthday, the most important dream occurred. She was deep in the cave – possibly far deeper than anybody had ever gone. She didn’t know how she exactly knew this, but that was most likely nothing more than dream logic. She wasn’t alone either – she could just make out a humanoid figure in the darkness, hunched and unsettling. There was something long swaying behind its back too, and Phoebe assumed it to be a tail of some kind. At first both parties were quiet, but then, after a little while, Phoebe heard a voice echo in her head:

WE FINALLY MEET.​

A chill ran down Phoebe’s spine. The voice was sharp and yet familiar – as if she had known this voice all of her life. She asked the figure who they were and received a response almost immediately:

I AM YOU.
YOU ARE ME.
THIS IS OUR HOME.

WE.
ARE.
MEWTWO.​

At that moment Phoebe’s aching head began to sting – burning with energy and power she’d never felt before – and she woke up in a cold sweat. She barely had any time to soothe her hammering heart before she became aware of a familiar kindly voice coming from beside her bed. It was Horatio, having been woken by his owner’s cries. She only realised he was talking to her with his actual voice when she caught sight of his lips actually mouthing words and once Horatio was aware of this he told her as much as he could. He told her all about the Hall of Legends and how important her dreams were. Of course she then asked him if she was still dreaming or not.

Horatio shook his head. “No my dear, this is no dream.” He reached for the duvet with his delicate fingers. “I suppose you could consider me a messenger or a guide – someone sent to help you by the gods themselves.”

Phoebe dragged her knees to her chest. “Do you know where the hall is?”

“Alas, I do not,” Horatio replied. “But we will know – when the time is right we shall both be called.”

There’s only a week left to go until Phoebe turns eighteen now and she is starting to feel compelled to travel, though where to remains a mystery to her. She’s been burning time by sketching things more often in her sketchpad.

The only picture she doesn’t really like is the one of this weird black prism-like creature slipping through what appears to be a portal of some kind. It looks really unsettling to her…

Partner

Name: Horatio
Species: Drowzee
Gender: Male

Appearance: Your typical Drowzee. The only thing that really sets him apart is the fact that he is blind and thus his pupils are milky-white.

Personality: Mild and diligent, Horatio is a gentle soul who acts more like a friendly grandfather to anybody he meets. He isn’t much of a fighter however, but is quite good at evading attacks thanks to his total reliance on psychic abilities.

Misc:

* Due to being blind Horatio relies entirely on his psychic abilities to sense if he is about to crash into something or someone else.

* His ability is Forewarn.

Nice! Can I reserve Ghost (Hoopa / Misdreavus) please?

edit: WIP

Name: ALF
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Female
Hometown: Lumiose City

Type: Ghost
Legendary: Hoopa
Powers:
Hyperspace Hole: Using some sort of otherworldly energy, ALF can create small portals to other dimensions (kinda like Portal Guns in, you know, Portal). They aren’t large enough to fit a human in though. She mostly uses it to juggle things and poke people from across the room.

Phantom Force: ALF can temporarily enter a parallel dimension, disappearing and reappearing somewhere else moments later. While ‘invisible’, she can not interact with the ‘real world’ in any way.

Trick: ALF has the ability to pickpocket basically anything from anyone, as long as it’s small, and she gives them something else of approximately equal size in its place.

Lick: ALF has the power to temporarily paralyse someone by licking them.

Appearance:

Most people would agree that there's something slightly... off about ALF. When you look at her, there's a sense that her features are just a tiny bit mismatched, that her body is a bit too angular or round in the wrong places, that there's generally something that's not right about her - even though, objectively, it’s actually quite normal, perhaps even on the more attractive side. If you were to measure each and every proportion of her body and face you would find nothing out of the ordinary. But still, that sense that she looks eerily unnatural persists. ALF’s eyes are a piercing, crimson red color, and have an oddly alluring, mischievously dangerous light to them. Combined with her unnaturally pale skin, slightly gaunt build, and her tendency to go around with a sinister childish grin on her face, she has the tendency to unnerve anyone in her vicinity except those who have gotten used to her. Her skin is oddly cold to touch. Some swear she has a subtle, ghostly, mist-like aura hanging around her at times.

ALF has never cared much about her appearance, and it shows. She has a tendency to wear the same clothes for days at a time, as she doesn’t sweat much despite her tendency to bounce around like a caffeinated ball of… something. Her hair is very long, and a jet black colour. It tends to get tangled and stick up in spikes all over the place, with one peculiar strand or two arcing away from the others. Her wardrobe has little to no variety, to the point where most people probably wouldn’t realise if she went back to her room and changed out every garment she wore. Her preferred getup is a loose, grey v-neck t-shirt, over which she wears a similarly loose grey windbreaker with red highlights and a stylised, grinning mouth with spiky teeth drawn onto it on the left side. Her pants are baggy and have the same kind of texture. Wherever she goes, she always has a pair of hexagonal, red headphones either looped around her neck or worn properly over her ears.

Personality: Mischievous, Childish, Prankster, Lives to have fun

ALF is a bit like a child out of some sort of fantasy horror. She’s always happy, always smiling and a bit too full of energy, but in a way that seems almost sinister. She doesn’t mean it, but for some reason her presence itself has the capability to make people uncomfortable and almost creeped out. Although she is aware that she has this effect on others, it doesn’t seem to affect her much as you’d think it might. She seems to find everything amusing or funny, and is prone to burst into giggling fits for no apparent reason and occasionally in totally inappropriate circumstances. She’s very childish and takes nothing seriously, like life itself is a sort of game for her. She’s also prone to gesticulating wildly, talking really fast, and using lots of exclamation marks. Her upbeat-ness had originally started out as an act, but by now it’s almost become second nature to her. This odd combination of a cheerful, generally likeable personality with a sinister aura means that while nobody is really willing to stay around her for long, most people who aren’t averse to physical proximity learn to tolerate her presence, and even grow to like her a little despite it.

ALF herself seems to have the ability to instantly grow to like anyone and everyone, no matter who they are. It’d be incorrect to say that she’s good at seeing the good in people - it’s more like she’s capable of casually accepting the ‘bad’ in people like it doesn’t matter. She’s usually the first to approach someone in any situation, and delights in meeting new people and new friends (she seems to think of everyone as a friend despite the fact that she doesn’t actually have any). She also has no sense of personal space, and has the habit of randomly giving people hugs and nuzzling them like a cat - to varying sorts of reactions. Since her skin is unusually cold, most people freak out, but she seems to find this amusing - just like she seems to find everything amusing. She also has a tendency to flirt lightly with pretty much anyone, and treats most people like they’re in a space some-place between good friends and romantic partners. She’s also prone to use her powers simply to mess with people, and is a massive prankster, although she’s usually pretty good at not being a total nuisance.

Cheerful as she is, ALF’s personality isn’t all fun and games. Underneath her aura of carefree cheerfulness, she’s a little bit insecure, and has trouble seeing herself as anything but a terrible person who spends her time imposing on others and generally being nuisance and burden. Her kleptomaniac tendencies don’t help here - more often than not, she ends up returning whatever she steals as long as she doesn’t need it. She very unabashedly wants attention and is very clingy to people who show acceptance of her, sometimes getting jealous and possessive. She’s not above following people around, with or without their knowledge.

History:
ALF was abandoned at an early age by her parents, who, being very religious, saw her red eyes and generally unsettling features as some sort of terrible omen. They left her at an orphanage and then moved away as far as they could, wholeheartedly believing that they had given birth to some sort of devil. She grew up without any parental love and regarded as some sort of monstrous creature by everyone around her - while the adults who ran the place were nice enough, the other children weren’t so mature, and didn’t bother to hide their fear and distaste of ‘that creepy ghost girl’. They always kept a large distance away from her, and didn’t hesitate to kick and bite if she got close. She often arrived at the dining room to find that her food had already been eaten.

As soon as she was able, ALF ran away from the orphanage. She had never felt at home there, and being the target of every other child’s hatred didn’t make the experience much better. For a while, she managed to get by by stealing things from shops and being frugal with her supplies - she had always had a unique talent for stealing things. Every now and then, she’d spend a couple of nights living with some groups of criminals and delinquents who found her talent useful - but they would always leave her behind, alone again, after whatever business they needed her for had been taken care of.

Having grown more and more tired of being alone all the time, ALF began to steal Pokémon, trying to find a companion. She eventually returned the first few, not wanting to force them to stay with her if they wanted to return to their original owners, but eventually she got her hands on a Misdreavus who belonged to an abusive trainer, and the two of them hit off quite well. Now with a companion to ease her loneliness, she stopped seeking out gangs that didn’t really want anything to do with her, and contented herself with living under the radar, picking pockets, and occasionally stealing things of greater value.

She had never known her date of birth, and only had a vague idea of how old she was, so she had no way of knowing that it was nearing her eighteenth birthday when Nui appeared to her in her dream. As strange portals shot her through different realms faster than eye could blink, her beloved partner, its voice echoing and shifting dramatically in pitch and accent with every word, called her ‘Hoopa’, and asked her to and find a ‘hall of legends’. When ALF woke, she found that she could talk with Nui, and that she was capable of creating small portals if she pictured something and concentrated real hard. She found all of this - especially the name of the legendary Pokemon she was supposed to be - hysterically funny, and would often burst into giggles whenever Nui mentioned ‘Hoopa’.

For a while, she simply played around with her newfound powers, using them to play tricks on unsuspecting passerby, as well as to steal some stuff to get by - whatever spare change she had, she saved, knowing that she’d need it to pay for her journey into another region if the Hall of Legends turned out to be there.

Other:

• Bisexual
• Can seemingly function on no sleep at all (she sleeps a lot regardless)

Appearance: Just a typical Misdreavus, but with a slight turquoise tint.
Personality: Nui is just like ALF - happy, giggly, and slightly creepy. Her favourite thing to do is follow people around and stare at them until they get incredibly uncomfortable. She's intensely loyal to ALF, and they're pretty much best buds.
Misc: Her favourite drink is grape juice.

 

[GoldenHouou]

HO-OH.

I mean. Er. Could I grab flying, please? With Starly as a starter.

Edit: Making that fire instead. Wip ahoy:

Edit2: Done? I think omfg.

Name: Yusheng Xiao
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Male
Hometown: Ecruteak City

Type: Fire
Legendary: Ho-Oh

Powers:

Sacred Fire: Being a fire type, creating and controlling fire comes with the package. However, Yusheng's fire has a secondary effect. While it can damage his adversaries, it can also heal his allies. He isn't able to resurrect anyone in this form like he once could, but he can heal moderate injuries by literally burning them away. Yes, it'll hurt - but he'll have you know that if you refuse treatment, he will roast your ass and leave you to bleed to death, which will probably hurt far more. So shut up and take it like a legendary.

(based on: lore, Sacred Fire -attack, Sacred Ash -item)

Phoenix: In addition to being able to heal others with his flames, Yusheng can also heal himself - provided he isn't in the middle of a battle being pelted by attacks. If given time and peace, he can self-emulate. And destructive as this is to clothes, it will restore his health. Phoenix, fire, you know the deal. This also grants him resistance to fire of any kind. So burn him up all you want, baby.

(based on: Regenerator-ability, Recover-attack)

Judge of Hearts: It is said that Ho-Oh can see into people's hearts, and will only show itself to those who are pure. As such, though Yusheng cannot read minds or anything of the sort, he is able to tell whether a person is being genuine, or harbors malicious intentions. This isn't really a combat ability, nor is it passive; he has to actively look the target in the eye to scrutinize them.

(based on: lore)

Brave Bird: Being a flying type, Yusheng is capable of temporary flight. Wings of fire sprout from his back, allowing him to take to the skies - and come crashing down onto an enemy. Sounds like a bad idea, and honestly? Oftentimes is. It is here that something good comes out of him working out and being decently bulky. Bam.
​

Appearance: Though Yusheng stands only a little above average at 6'3'', rare are the times when he doesn't seem almost a head taller. The boy carries himself with newfound pride, like the feathered crown upon his Pokémon form's head would mark him a king. Not among his fellow legendaries, but certainly among humans. It's his silent confidence that fills a room when he steps in and makes people more likely to listen - but also makes him come across as a condescending prick. Which isn't an entirely unfair conclusion, to be fair.

A great part of his life has been spent doing physical labour, and that has left him toned and tan. Not that you'd be able to tell, most of the time; having grown up among Kimono Girls, Yusheng favours loose, kimono-esque clothes that hide his physique rather well (though not on purpose). His choice of clothing often comes in bright colours; reds and golds, in particular. With that said, though he loathes to admit it, he realizes that his traditional flavour of clothes do not fit every occasion. So, if needed, he will shed them in favour of expensive jackets and straight pants, shiny shoes and whatever else helps him look elegant but still firm. He's not looking to come across as flamboyant.

His hair is fairly short, and acts as a contrast to most everything else about him. For one, it's strikingly blonde, the perfect opposite of his tan skin. Secondly, it's--- pretty wild, unlike the rest of his well-put-together look. It stands in a type of faux-hawk almost naturally, and refuses to be combed down to submission. By now, he's learnt to just let it be. It's like the faint black circles around his eyes that he never seems to be able to shed. They're just there now, and he's come to terms with them. If nothing else, they make his red eyes seem more intense and his gaze that much more disturbing. That can be surprisingly useful, he's found.

Personality: "Passionate, Has a bit of a temper, Driven, Natural born leader"

For a boy who lived his life trying to will away his excessive pride, learning that he was actually a legendary Pokémon did not exactly help.

Having grown up thinking he was special gave Yusheng quite a bit of an ego, yet for the sake of respecting his adoptive family and their teachings, he tried to keep it on the downlow for the most part. However, now that he's an excuse for it, his pride is definitely more visible - even if he doesn't always realize it. He carries himself with grace and calm, and that, coupled with his formal way of speech and naturally scrutinizing gaze, can make him seem quite condescending indeed.

Yusheng speaks little, only offering his input when he feels it's needed - which is rarely when it comes to small talk and quite often when it comes to making decisions. He behaves like a leader, even when he is not one - in both the good and the bad. He's good at handling responsibilities, taking charge and acting under pressure - but poor at sharing burdens or following another's lead if they haven't proven themselves worthy first.

When given the choice, Yusheng will always opt to try and resolve a conflict situation through words first. He'll be the bigger person, the voice of reason, the teacher that sits squabbling children down and makes them apologize to each other under his watchful eye. He'll negotiate and he'll debate if need be. Sure.

... But if none of that seems to work, his patience is not endless. If you do not take kindly to reason, he has no reason to be kind to you. He won't initiate needless quarrels, but if his words keep falling on deaf ears, he's prepared to light a fire under your ass to... hasten negotiations a little.

Mind, if you've fallen to his bad side once, you will probably stay there unless you save an orphanage or offer yourself up as a sacrifice in a time of need or something. Yusheng is quite judgmental and rigid, quick to jump to conclusions. And once he believes he's figured out what kind of a person you are, it's very difficult to change his mind. This is the bird that got pissed at the entirety of mankind for the actions of a few Team Rocket grunts, and willingly rendered himself a nomad as a result. Do not underestimate his grudge-bearing prowess.

Despite his faults however, Yusheng genuinely cares about others and acts with the best of intentions - even if he might seem aloof and distant in his methods. More a protector than a comforter, he's more likely to show his care through actions rather than words. And when it comes to said actions, he will go far: righteous and passionate, he stops at nothing to punish perceived wrongdoers. This does make him harsh and ruthless at times, but rest assured that if you've done nothing wrong, he'll have your back. He will make sure nothing ill befalls you, whether you've asked for his help or not.

History: In Yusheng's earliest memories, the entire world was ablaze. The heat was suffocating, a thick blanket wrapped around his body. It squeezed shut his lungs and stole all strength from his screams. Everything was a blur. The only thing he could make out were flames, hissing and writhing as they slithered up towards a dark sky like snakes. Eventually, they would devour the world.

They did not, and it wasn't the whole world that burned, in truth. It was a small family residence on the outskirts of Ecruteak city - the home of the Xiao family, who all lost their lives that tragic night. Or so the initial reports said. Miraculously, they did find a survivor among the ash and charcoal once the fire had been quelled; a baby boy, covered in soot and red as a flame, but alive nonetheless.

He was rushed to the hospital as an orphan, but by the time he was released, there was a new home for him in the horizon - a traditional performing group known as the Kimono Girls. Keepers of tradition, they instilled into him the values of modesty, kindness and putting the needs of the many before the needs of the one. And while he wasn't to grow up into a performer himself, there was quite a bit of work ahead of him; he was to help with small tasks such as cleaning rooms and scrubbing teasets. And, once he grew, in laborious tasks like chopping wood.

Some teachings were easier for Yusheng to learn and internalize than others. Being kind was easy enough - the Kimono Girls had shown nothing but kindness to him, so imitating them wasn't difficult. But... for the first few years of his childhood, Yusheng's supposedly miraculous survival never ceased to be a source of controversy and confusion for the boy. For one, he was taught to be modest and not think too highly of himself - but it proved to be a rather difficult task, when his ego was constantly stroked by the story of his survival. How could he not think himself special, if that's what people around him told him he was? And while many of the ones giving him praise did so out of sheer kindness towards the boy who'd lost his parents, to young Yusheng, praise was praise.

And then there was the controversy. The most traditional Kimono Girls who still believed in the Legendaries insisted it had to be Ho-Oh's divine protection that had kept him from harm - after all, his family had visited Tin Tower on occasion! The skeptics, on the other hand, were quick to denounce such things as baseless superstition. If it was divine protection, why did the parents die? They were good people, and did not deserve to meet their end by burning alive. Whatever kind of legendary would allow for such a thing on their turf?

For the most part, Yusheng agreed with the latter. If anything, being spared by some powerful Pokémon would have made him even angrier over his parents' fate. Why him, and not his parents? He sure as hell wasn't saved by some big old turkey's help. He'd survived because... because he just had. Maybe it was luck. Maybe he was special, but--- but if he was, it was his own doing! And so, his ego grew.

Things eased up over the years. Like many a thing that once made headlines and filled gossip magazines, the whole incident was eventually forgotten. Every now and again one might've heard the elderly bring it up over their games of shogi, but that was the extent of it. Tin Tower remained a traditional place said to bring good fortune to those that paid it a visit, and as always, some kept believing in it, some didn't. Yusheng wanted to say he did not believe it - but for one reason or another, the place always made him feel... uneasy.

So, of course, he ended up getting a side-job as the tower's caretaker. Fate had... a sense of humour like that.

Still, the job wasn't too bad. It helped him earn some money and occupy himself when the rest of his family was out performing. If the little hairs on the back of his neck hadn't stood up so often inside the damn tower, he would've had nearly no complaints.

Then, one day, as he was cleaning the higher floors of the Tin Tower, Yusheng found himself uncharacteristically dozing off on the job. He settled down for what he expected to be a quick nap - and found himself waking up in a nightmare.

He was standing on the ruins of Tin Tower, ankle-deep in ash. The whole structure had been rendered unrecognizable by fire, with only a few charred parts of the structure still standing in their place. Everything seemed still and dead - until something burst out from the ash and startled Yusheng out of his wits. He looked down in alarm, and nearly screamed.

Sticking out of the sea of ash was the scorched upper torso of a human. It was impossible to tell their age or gender; most everything distinguishable had burnt away. Only a few chunks of burnt flesh clung to the person's bones, wrinkling and crumbling with every ounce of movement. Yusheng gasped and backed away, only to find another one bursting from the ash - and clinging onto his leg with bony arms. Another joined soon after, until three corpses dangled on his legs.

He struggled and struggled, and then all of a sudden, he was free. His legs left the ground, and the figures grew smaller and more distant the higher up he went. It was bright, wherever he was going. Even though he was ascending back first, the light that poured past him was blinding.

"No..." he heard the beings say, their voices hoarse and dead, "don... don't t g o... sa ve us."

"I-- there's nothing I can--"

"Y ou c... a n. Pl ea s e, Ho-Oh"

"He doesn't exist," Yusheng spat almost out of reflex, suddenly defensive.

"Ho-Oh. Ho-Oh. Ho-"

"Stop saying that name!"

The corpse grew silent. Yusheng had reached the sky; perfect blue and vast as a dozen oceans, it was inviting him for a soar. A rainbow hung above, each of its colours glistening as if wanting him to try and reach up to touch them. But... leaving the corpses felt wrong.

He looked back down and saw bony hands outstretched as if trying to reach him. He hesitated - and in that moment, everything was lost to flames. The corpses, the remains of the tower, the bright sky, even he, himself. Everything burned - but it... didn't really hurt. The heat felt more like a warm embrace.

"Ho-Oh," someone whispered.

Yusheng jolted upright, only to smash his head against a decorative ornament.

"'Bout time," he heard someone say, but could not find the source of the voice. The only one there was...

"... Huan?"

The Darumaka next to him hopped to stand. From there, it proceeded to... explain him things that begged for an explanation of their own. That he was actually Ho-Oh, that something was afoot, that he was needed... and that they should probably leave right away - but that Huan personally would not care if they didn't, because, really, the gig sounded boring and--

Yusheng had stopped listening at that point.

Partner

Name: Huan
Species: Darumaka
Gender: Male

Appearance: Much like any other Darumaka, except a little chubbier from lack of proper exercise - and excess snacking on mochi sweets.

Personality: The Kimono Girls owned quite a few Darumaka, who helped them in a few of their shows. This particular one, as it turned out, wasn't quite cut out for the job, however. Clumsy and irresponsible, Huan would much rather roll around the house or sneak out for adventure than move along predetermined steps. He's a glutton and a troublemaker, only kept in check by his own inert laziness. He's like a cat house cat, except, as Yusheng often says, "far less cute." They're friends anyway.

Misc: Yusheng received the Darumaka from his adoptive family. They were about to give him away, but the young boy insisted that he could train the fire type into a useful member of the household. By now, he's given up.

Posting my WIP for now.

Name: Kevin "from Retail" King
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Male
Hometown: Veilstone City, Sinnoh
Type: Normal-Type. Plain and simple.
Legendary: Regigigas
Powers:
- Teeter Dance: Kevin can dance a freaky ritualistic dance that confuse everyone that watches.
- Egg Bomb: He summons a hard-boiled egg from.. somewhere, and throws it at opponents. The egg explodes. It is also harmless for human consumption.
- Protect: He can summon force-fields around himself, and can shield others if they are near. This takes a big toll on him, and he can't uphod it for too long.
- Pay Day: Kevin hurls change from his pockets at his opponents. For some reason, more money can be collected afterwards than what Kevin threw.

Appearance: Kevin's appearance can be described as borderline plain. He is a mdium tall youngster standing at 183Cm tall with a slender build. His fair skin is fairly pale, and is dcently sensitive to sunlight. Kevin always tries to stay out of the sun anyway, so this doesn't bother him too much. He has dead, soul-less greyish blue eyes, and most of the time he has a friendly grin, giving him a friendly attitude with a hint of unease. His short brown hair is always kept in a slightly messy, yet styled fashion. He has a natural handsomeness to him, but he doesn't do anything with it, giving him his plain, Blend-into-the-crowd appearance

His outfits aren't anything to brag about either. Living in a below average wealthy family, he mostly buys his clothing at sales. He has a keen eye for sales, and never shys away from them. His regular casual attire consists of a plain white T-shirt with a deep neck, showing off what might actually develop into muscles in the future. He wear plain blie jeans, which are visably worn. A pair of green shoes for comfort, and a pale yellow hoodie compliments his attire, and gives him the generic slacker-look, which he is more than comfortable with.


Personality: Kevin is a very apathetic character that shows little to no emotion whatsoever, though he is very verbal about things that displease him. He exudes an aura of calm and quiet, although this stems instead from his chronic absentmindedness and laziness. His apathetic attitude is broken only for fits of annoyance and overall displeasing. He actively take a step back in discussions, out of fear of being ulled into the center of attention. He is most likely the one to remain the calmest in the middle of a crisis, often saying things like "Well this happened" just taking for granted that he is a secondary character in his own life.

Kevin has a cynical outlook on life and all it contains, ranging from his laziness to a surprising degree of approachability. (that's a word now). Despite it all, he is fairly easy to get along with and once you get to know him, you'll know that all he really wants from life, is for everything to stay the way they are. kevin's absentmindedness has also helped him to develop a hilarious immunity to sarcasm, often mistaking insults for peoples way of communicating. Neither bothered by the opinions of others, nor intimidated by his surroundings, Kevin is surprisingly keen at focusing on things oncee he sets his mind to it.

He's a hard worker, and while others his age are out n a pokemon journey, he figured he might as well get a kick start ont he inevitable new adventure that lies ahead: Morgage, a good economy and financial stability. Sure, his friends all find him boring for doing so, as they all speculated what kind of trainer he would be. Kevin himself doesn't mind this. to him, Pokemon are more like practical everyday tools rather than fighting machines. He doesn't mind how his life turned out, though his job at the local Food Food Food™ general grocery store in Veilstone City is a good one financially, he is pretty sick and tired of the barrage of strange individuals he meets throughout a day. Overall, he likes his life as it is, and doesn't want it to change.

As mentioned, Kevin is quite perspective despite his lazy attitude. His humor is about as deadpan as it gets, and literally only he himself find his jokes to be funny. He is very mature for his age and speaks in a very frank and straightforward fashion, which can make him come across as somewhat of a douche at times. Though he is vaguelly aware of this part of his personality, he doesn't do much to hide or change it. He is generally a calm and passive individual, enjoying his place as a drop in the ocean that is mainstream society. H enjoys the simple things in life, and doesn't really have any great ambitions.

Other:
- He works at Veilstone city Food Food Food™ general grocery store, and has recently become employee of the month.
- He has no specific or interesting skills whatsoever, being mediocre in pretty much everything he does.

History: Kevin's family is a below average wealthy working class family living in a run down apartment cmplex in Veilstone City, Sinnoh. He lives with his mother and younger sister, working mostly to providde for the family. His father left the trio with a huge gambling dept from the Veilstone City game corner, forcing both Kevin and his mother to take up extra jobs in order to provide for the family to the best of their ability. While his mother works as a clerk in the Veilstone City department store, Kevin himself got a job at the lesser-known Food Food Food store, located around the corner from their apartment building. His younger sister is still in junior high school.

Growing up, Kevin was always a lazy fellow who didn't really try his best at anything, getting by on luck and as little work from his part as possible. This landed him C's throughout the scoreboard on his gradesheet, and somehow landed him his current job, which he is surprisingly good at. He earns enough to keep the family afloat, and on occasion he may afford a luxurious food item such as a watermelon, ketchup or his sisters favorite Swirlix shakes. Overall, he is not displeased with how his life is. Due to his adaptable nature, it didnt take him long to settle into the family's new reality.

He landed his job at the grocery store at the age of 14, about a month after his father ran off. His mother had also taken up double shifts after this, leaving his little sister on her own most of the time. Like Kevin, his sister, June, was very mature for her age, and besides her occasionally talking to things that weren't there, she managed perfectly fine. Kevin, on the other hand, started to feel like his life was going in the wrong direction, or.. not going anywhere at all. Frankly he didn't care. He knew that supporting his family was his main priority at this point in his life, and though his mother felt bad that he had to pull the weight of their family, he always assured her it was fine. What else was he going to do with his life? Be a pokemon trainer? Pfh.

After a few years of living a normal life, Kevin was cleaning out the store one evening after closing when he heard a shuffling sound from the trashbin out back. It wasn't uncommon for some of the larger wild Pokemon to get into the trash, and his coworker must've forgotten to use the max repel back there again. Slightly unsettled by the fact that there had been a serie of kidnappings and murders in the city in recent times, Kevin brought out Kevin, a barbed baseball bat he had made just for occasions like these. sneaking out back towards the bin, a simple Bidoof jumped out, scaring the holy bajeezus out of him. it looked at him curiously, and tried to gulp down on Karen from finance's leftover burrito that she had thron earlier that day. It was an adorable pokemon, and it took an instant liking to Kevin, who decided he didnt want anything to do with it. Shooing the pokemon off, he proceeded to close the store as usual.

When he came home however, he quickly saw that the pokemon was sitting on his bed. Did it want more burritos? Did it want to kidnap and murder him? Who knew. What he did know was that the Bidoof had gnawed its way through the wall from the outside and into his bedroom. There was now a moderatly sized hole in his wall. Sighing in discomfort, Kevin just placed his dresser to cover the hole. He would have to put a plank down or something later. He then made the mistake of petting the pokemon and oh my god was it not the softest god damn fur he had ever felt in his entire life. without really thinking too much, he picked the plump pokemon up and proceeded to give it a bath in their bathtub. Neither his mom nor his sister seemed to care that the pokemon was in the house, and Kevin decided the pokemon could stay, for some reason.

Then came two weeks before his 18th birthday. Birthdays to Kevin was kinda a non-event at that point, as all it did was to remind him that life was short and you might end up kidnapped and killed Brenda. Though he was used to weird dreams due to the Haunter that lived in the woods outside of the complex, this one was different. It was the most vivid dream he had ever had, and it was a dream of him, sitting on what appeared to be a white marble throne under the clear sky. He was in the middle of a ceremonial altar overlooking an old Greco roman-looking arena, where maybe a dozen or so people were jumping around dancing a weird ritualistic dance and praising... Something. "Regigigas, Regigigas" they seemed to be chanting to the sounds of 4 drummers hammering down upon makeshift drums on each corner of the arena. Looking behind him, Kevin saw a ginormous statue of the same white marble as the throne, adorned with Sapphires, Diamonds and Rubies, as well as a fair amount of moss. It was obvious this place was some sort of altar to a being known as Regigigas. Kevin had no idea what it was, and looked around further. Beyond the borders of the arena was water, hinting that he was in some sort of remote island. Around him was also 3 smaller statues, made from Ice, Rock and Steel respectively. In front of the throne Kevin was sitting on sat large golden plates full of fruits, Ice Stones, wine and other offerings. There were people in the bacground on their knees, worshipping him. The people dancing were clad in minimalistic clothing, leaving very little, if anythng at all to the imagination. they had all sorts of bodypaint on, looking a lot like the statues around him. Kevin himself was dressed in something that looked like an aztec attire, adorning a huge white cape with black markings on it, clad with a green moss-like substance to act as its collar. He was completely nude under this, only decorated in the same ritualistic markings as the dancers in front of him. The chanting then became louder and louder. "Regigigas, Regigigas!"

He then awoke with a large gasp. He was coldsweating, and headed over to his dresser to move it out of the way to let in some air. That was by far the most effed up dream he had ever had. Oddly enough, he know also harbored new knowledge. Apparently the being in the dream being worshipped was him...? There was something about legends. 'awakening your true self' The dancing oh god the dancing. I feel funny. New powers?.. Heh.. it tickles. It was all coming to him so fast, he was pulled back to reality by a masculine voice. Turning around, of course the voice belonged to Bidoof. Bidoof explained to him his origins as the legendary pokemon, Regigigas. Bidoof also said how he was a Messenger of the Legends, and that upon turning eighteen his presence was required in the Hall of Legends, whatever that was. Kevin was quick to shut down the idea, and looking at the time, he only had 2 more hours of sleep before he had to get up and get ready for work. He figured this was all a strange fever-dream and that everything would go back to Normal tomorrow. It didn't.

Other:
- the serial kidnapper and killer from Veilstone City was never found, and remains active to this day.
- There's a huge hole in Kevin's bedroom wall


Partner

Name: Kevin
Species: Bidoof
Gender: Male

Appearance: Kevin is a plain ol' Bidoof with no distinguishing features. Pretty plain if you ask me.

Personality: In contrast to Kevin's attitude, Kevin is a real firecracker. He's a surprisingly good fighter and enjoys battle, even though Kevin himself doesn't. He has a competitive streak, and has a habit of egging on opponents larger than him. He's not impulsive though, and always tries to strategize beforehand whenever a situation comes up. His strategies mostly ends in violence though. Despite his battle-hungry persona, Kevin is a kind soul and cares deeply for Kevin and for others. He has an optimistic nature by default, and trusts most people without worry.

Misc:
- Kevin nicknamed Kevin after himself. He figured it would be a fun gag. It probably isn't..
- Kevin has the Simple ability.
- Kevin's fur has like maximal fluff, and he is as soft and squishy as a puppy.

 

[Monster Guy]

Here's my Fairy SU. If this is accepted, I'd also like to reserve Ice with Kyurem and Sneasel

Type: Fairy
Legendary: Xerneas
Powers:

Dazzling Gleam: Liam fires pink, sparkly, flashes of light that damages the opponent.

Cute Charm: Sometimes, people become infatuated with Liam when they make physical contact with him. The effects wear off when Liam is far enough away from the victim. It is not something he has control over... Yet.

Play Rough: Liam starts glowing with Fairy energy, and delivers a painful Fairy beatdown on the target. The violence is obscured by cartoonish effects like smoke, stars, and hearts.


Appearance:

Liam is short for a young man his age. He stands at exactly five feet tall. He well aware of his small stature, and makes jokes about it if it get's brought up. While he does claim his lack of height adds to his appeal, he does wish he were taller sometimes. Despite seeming weak and fragile based on his appearance, he is actually stronger than he looks. He keeps himself physically fit to compensate for his lack of height, and has a fairly toned physique hidden underneath all the clothes he wears. He was born with a pale complexion, He has messy blonde hair on top of his head, and his bangs go to his eyebrows. He has big violet eyes. A trait that seems to run in his family. As well as a small nose, and a round "Babyface", which give him a youthful appearance. His face is clean-shaven, and his upper body is free of any hair except the top of his head and eyebrows.

Liam is very into fashion, and likes to dress well. He designs his own clothes to reflect his taste, as he has a hard time finding clothes he likes in men's clothing stores. His fancy wardrobe mostly consists of button down dress shirts, vests, trousers, and dress shoes. He always keeps his clothes neat and tidy. He wears as much pink as he is allowed to get away with. His current outfit consists of a pink dress shirt that fits him well, and he rolls up the sleeves. Over this, he wears a pink vest. He dons a pink cravat around his neck. He also wears a pink pearl bracelet bracelet around his left wrist, and a diamond ring on his right ring finger. On the bottom he wears a pair of pink trousers. His choice of footwear include a pair of pink dress shoes. He accesorizes this with a pink cap on his head that has a diamond brooch attached to it, a pair of pink diamond earrings hanging from his earlobes. He carries around in a pink messenger bag.

Personality: Liam is innocent, carefree, and seemingly always happy. He is faithful to his loved ones, and will stand by them no matter what. He wants to spread kindness to everyone, and is accepting of everyone. He enjoys talking to people, and being friends with everyone. He tries to see good in everyone, and sees no reason to discriminate against others. Some have been known to manipulate him because of tendency to trust people immediately, but he doesn't see that as a bad thing. He is the one who will cheer you up and offer words of encouragement when you are down. He values loyalty and kindness in other people.

Liam has tastes that are usually considered feminine. His favorite color is pink, and a lot of his things are pink. He is very into fashion, and designs his own clothes to reflect his tastes. While he isn't necessarily vain, he does like to take care of his appearance. He carries around a mirror, and often consults it when he feels like he needs a confidence boost. He also doesn't particularly care for getting himself dirty either. Due to the fact that he feels there is a lack of nice clothes for men, he likes to make his own clothes to suit his own tastes. He also has a passion for cute and pretty things. It's the reason why he likes the Fairy type. The Pokemon under it are gorgeous. Anything he perceives to be adorable whether it be a person or a Pokemon makes him squeal excitedly. He also has several childish interests as well. He likes candy and other sweets, and he has a rather large collection of fashion dolls that he makes clothes for, as well as cute Pokemon plushies, and his room is decorated with posters of characters from the cartoons he likes. Liam grew up wealthy, so he has an easy time indulging himself in the things he likes.

Liam is adorable, and he knows it. He does use it to his advantage if he knows if it will benefit him somehow. Usually to flirt with guys, or get himself out of trouble when they get mad at him. Due to his small size, and child like appearance, he is often perceived as being weak. This has earned him both the ire of bullies who liked having an easy target, as well as the care of nicer people who felt like they had protect him. He works out regularly to compensate for this, but people still coddle him. He considers it both a blessing because it gets him attention and people think he's cute, and a curse because some people underestimate him. He works hard to prove himself, such as staying up late to study, or consistently practicing a new skill. The one thing he hates most is a bully. He has been the victim of it in his youth, so seeing somebody get picked on makes him angry. When he does get bullied, he'll usually respond with some sassy comment, and act like it doesn't bother him, but it does get to him. He doesn't understand why so many people have problems with boys liking pink.

Regardless, Liam is a cheerful optimistic person. He is often seen with a smile on his face, and acting like life is all cupcakes and rainbows. He believes it's easier to live life when you expect the best than expecting the worst. This does not mean that he is never sad. He cries openly when he's sad, but it doesn't take much to make him feel better. He is also very affectionate. He likes giving, and receiving hugs, and often gets very close to people. He develops crushes on guys rather easily. These qualities make him a natural flirt. While he likes people in general, he is attracted to other males. You can often find him staring at, and flirting with guys he finds attractive. While he does flirt often, Liam is a hopeless romantic who is in love with love. He does dream of having his own boyfriend someday, and maybe a husband in the future.In general he is an emotional person, and expresses all of his feelings openly. When he is happy, he is ecstatic. When he is sad, you'll see him bawling. The occasions when he gets angry, he screams, shouts, and acts rashly. While he seems childish at times, Liam is a happy, fun loving young man, who just wants to be accepted for who he is.

History: Liam was born to a wealthy, prominent family in Laverre City. His family contained a long line of skilled trainers, and Liam was expected to carry on that tradition. Liam lived a very lavish lifestyle. As a child, his parents put him in prestigious private schools in order to get the best education possible. Growing up, Liam learned he was never interested in the things typical boys were interested in. He liked cute little ponies, and Barbie dolls while most boys liked playing with toy cars and football. He also preferred Pokemon like Clefairy and Jigglypuff where the other boys were obsessed with Charizard and Garchomp. This made him the target of bullying by other boys.

This made him the target of bullying by other boys. They often gave Liam a very hard time, making fun of his interests, and calling him a whimp, among other insulting nicknames. He also got his other friends to join in on the bullying. At first, Liam didn't really care. He would just play with the girls. They played better anyway. They were just words anyway. However, the fact that it was constant, and stop no matter how much Liam tried to be nice to him only made Liam upset. For his birthday, his parents gave him a Mimikyu. A rare Pokemon they encountered while on a trip to the Alola Region.

Things became different when he started high school. While other boys were interested in girls, he wasn't. He attended an elite boarding school, so he shared a room with another boy. Sure, there were there cute girls at the school, but he found his male roommate more attractive than any girl. He kept his attraction to guys a secret for a while, but that didn't last long, as it was getting hard to keep the secret. First, because it was starting to become awkward with his roommates, and also because Liam just had a really hard time keeping something like this to himself. He told his roommates first, and he was surprisingly alright with it. He told his family about it when he returned home for the Summer, and they were also fully supportive of him, much to Liam's relief. After that, he started flirting with boys openly.

Of course, not everyone was supportive of Liam being gay. Ryuki was also a student at the same school Liam attended, and he hadn't changed at all since they were kids. The bullying got worse since he came out as gay. Now things escalted to physical violence. He would often be beaten up by Ryuki and his group of friends simply because they could. He told other adults what was going on, but it only served to make things worse.

Liam's favorite Pokemon were Fairy type Pokemon. They were adorable, but powerful and not to underestimated, which is why he liked them. When he was 15, he became a Gym Trainer at the Laverre City Gym, in order to get first hand experience of being a Gym Leader. There, he trained under Valerie to learn everything he could about the Fairy type. He occasionally battled against other trainers that came to challenge the leader. Also during this time, he decided he didn't want to be viewed as a whimp, and a bullying victim. So, he started working out and getting stronger in order to compensate for his lack of height.

While he enjoys his time as a Gym Trainer, and made friends with his fellow gym trainers, he was a little annoyed that he was the only male trainer in the entire gym. Weren't there other boys who liked Fairy type too?

His life was pretty uneventful for the most part. Then, about two weeks before his eighteenth birthday. He had an odd dream involving two voices he didn't recognize. The voices called him Xerneas. He had read about Xerneas before. He was the Deity of Life. Why would they be calling him that? He was confused, especially when the voices kept going on and on about some sort of prophecy; and requesting his presence in a location he wasn't aware of. When he awoke from the dream, he felt strange, but he didn't think too much about it. Then, he heard another different voice. He looked around, and saw the voice was coming from Boo. He was shocked at first, but found the idea of a talking Pokemon cool, and rolled with it. Boo told the young man that she was a Messenger of the Legends and that upon turning eighteen his presence was required in the Hall of Legends. Liam was excited about the possibility about an adventure, but when he asked the Mimikyu where the Hall of Legends was, Boo didn't know, and said the answer would reveal itself when the time came.

Now, Liam awaits his eighteenth birthday, wanting to know more about his dream; learn more about Xerneas. He also wants to know why people keep declaring their love for him after they touch him, or why he can produce pretty pink flashes of light.


Pokemon

Nickname: Boo

Species: Mimikyu

Gender: Male

Appearance: Like my avatar, he wears a little pink flower behind one of his 'ears' don't judge him.

Personality: Like the Mimikyu Pokedex entry states, Boo just wants to be loved, and wears a Pikachu costume hoping to be loved as much as Pikachu. He's a bit of a shy one though, and has a hard time expressing his feelings. He gets very affectionate with people he actually knows though.

[*Jean Grey*]

WIP

Name: Mikaela Duffy

Age: Seventeen

Gender: Female

Hometown: Lumiose City, Kalos

Type: Dark

Legendary: Yveltal

Powers:

- Night Slash

- Darkest Lariat

- Night Daze

- Throat Chop

Appearance:

While Mikaela is rough around the edges and the furthest thing from charming, she has striking looks that make most people look twice anyway. She's very tall, standing at 6'2" (her excuse for not wanting to wear high heels), and her body is lean and muscular, with large, ample breasts. Her hair is long, slightly wavy and golden blonde, reaching up to her hips in length, and with messy bangs dyed black on the left side. More dyed black streaks also shoot through parts of her the rest of her hair. She tends to wear her hair loose, as she doesn't care to fix it properly, though for practicality purposes, she sometimes puts it up in a ponytail, a messy bun or a a single braid. Mikaela's piercing cat-like eyes are sea green in color, and can tend to look intimidating, yet there are times when they look comforting and warm as well - they're very expressive eyes that make her a terrible liar, much to her annoyance. Her eyes tend to be rimmed with black eyeliner, that, due to its cheap quality, tends to smudge easily. Her face is more angular than rounded, with sharp cheekbones, a small, straight nose and rather thin lips. As she is a smoker, her teeth are slightly yellowed and aren't very nice. Her torso and limbs are toned, and her legs are particularly long. Mikaela has several tattoos, including dark, macabre designs on both her arms, and and a large skull on her hip. Her left nostril is pierced and decorated with a gunmetal hoop, and her ears bear several piercings apiece as well - tragus, auricle, cartilage and a pair of industrials. It's not uncommon to see bruises on Mikaela, given that she gets into fights a lot.

Mikaela has a distinctly dark and rough-around-the-edges style. She hates wearing most colors and girly stuff such as ruffles, frills and flowers. She always wears black, and has a weakness for leather, metal, spikes, chains and dark imagery such as varying types of skulls, crosses, demons and similar things. Her usual outfit consists of a torn black tank top, with some of the holes left open while others are held together by safety pins. This top is rather see-through, and one could see the black bra she wears underneath. On top of this, she wears a sleeveless black leather vest with dark metal spikes on the shoulders, and studs forming a skull shape on the back. She also wears tight, black leather pants with several rips down the legs, as well as a black belt with sharp studs. On her feet are tall black leather cowboy boots decorated with a star pattern in metal studs on the outer side of each shaft. She wears black leather fingerless gloves and her nails are covered in chipped black polish. Aside from her piercings, the only jewelry Mikaela wears is a thick gunmetal chain around her neck, fastened with a small (but real) padlock at the front.

Personality: Mikaela is a natural rebel - daring, rough around the edges and unwilling to be tied down by rules and norms. In fact, she only sees rules as limits that serve to keep her down and prevent her from living life as freely and wildly as she wants to. This girl is very loose in terms of morals, and doesn't believe that the honest way is always the best way to go. In fact, she thinks that sometimes, putting in the effort to behave is just a headache and a waste of time. She would much rather dabble in illegal stuff than take on low-paying honest work, if a life of crime offer a more exciting life, more freedom and more money than retail or entry-level work...which is almost all the time. The last thing she wants to do is sit on her ass for half a day, eat, sleep and then repeat the next day. If her numerous brushes with the law, and her reputation in Lumiose's bad side for being a hellraiser says anything about her, it's that she enjoys danger and being on the edge. Of course, this tendency has gotten her into more sticky situations than most teenagers experience, but she doesn't let them bother her or scare her into behaving better - she just finds her own way out of things (be it legal or not) and rather than dwell, she just gets back up and brushes them off.

Mikaela is brash and crude, with tomboyish and rough mannerisms, as well as interests. She's short-tempered and quick to resort to physical violence as a solution to problems, and tends to have no qualms about fair play either. It doesn't matter how inexperienced or young you are, if you get in Mikaela's way or piss her off, she wouldn't hesitate to curse you out, beat you up or embarrass you in some way. Her manner of speech is casual, caustic and unfiltered, with a tendency to swear a lot and a fondness for dark, morbid or obscene humor. She's actually surprisingly quick to laugh, especially at jokes that are genuinely funny, but she also never holds back on her biting sarcasm and put-downs either. She is one girl who always speaks her mind, even though it might be unadvisable to do so, and doesn't back down at all in an argument or a fight, even if it ends up reflecting negatively on her. She also isn't ashamed of doing less than legal things and committing crime, and would in fact, be the first to volunteer to do so when the time calls for it, whether it's cheating at gambling, stripping or making shady deals. She doesn't see doing these things as inherently bad, but rather, practical. Sometimes, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do after all, consequences be damned, and she would much rather act than do nothing.

Bad experiences with a person she once considered a close friend and someone she could trust has made Mikaela mistrustful of most people's intentions, thinking that anyone can turn on her or use her at any time. Thus, she can be a bit of a loner. She would much rather be alone than to be around people who would hurt her in the end, but that doesn't mean that she's truly cold and uncaring. In fact, the few whom she trusts could attest that she could be quite the opposite.

History: Mikaela's life as a youth could be summed up as

Other:
- Bisexual
- Favorite color is black (duh)
- Loves vodka, and if someone pisses her off, she could smash an empty vodka bottle on them
- Smoker

[Monster Guy]

Name: Princess Rose Hadley
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Female
Hometown: Floaroma Town Sinnoh

Type: Grass
Legendary: Shaymin
Powers:

Vine Whip: Rose summons vines from her hands to either whip foes, or just grab things.

Petal Blizzard: Rose summons a storm of flower petals. Good for causing damage, or making an entrance.

Aromatherapy: Rose creates a floral scented mist that can heal the wounds and ailments of whoever breathes it in.

Chlorophyll: Under bright sunlight, Rose is able to move faster

Appearance: Rose stands at exactly six feet tall, and often wears heels so she appears taller. She's used to being the tallest woman in the room at any time, and will be in for a rude awakening when she becomes Shaymin. She has a slender build, but still has a feminine figure. She was born with fair skin that does not tan or burn for reasons she is not aware of It's because of Chlorophyll. Her hair is blonde, reaches down to her mid back, and is slightly wavy, with side swept bangs. She has a heart shaped face, and her features are soft and feminine. Her eyes are as green as the forest, a trait inherited from generations of Hadley family members. She has long eyelashes, that are enhanced by mascara when necessary. She keeps her make-up simple, sticking to shades of pink, and uses it to enhance what's there. She considers herself a classic beauty, and works to maintain her appearance.

Rose is very much into fashion, and spends a lot of money on it. Her sense of style is girly, with lots of flower and plant motifs thrown in. Her outfits tend to vary, but they usually in a pink and green color scheme, her favorite colors. She also has a preference for skirts and dresses over pants. Her current outfit consists of a baby pink, short sleeved peasant blouse decorated with roses, and a darker pink corset design in the middle. She wears a pink sash around her wait that is decorated with a larger pink rose on the side. On the bottom, she wears a frilly green skirt. Her legs are covered by sheer pink stockings that are decorated with a subtle vine pattern. Her choice of footwear are green high-heeled designer pumps that are fastened with long, silk ribbons that criss-cross around her calves. She adds a personal touch to her shoes by pinning a silk flower to the ribbons of her left shoe. She accessorizes with a lot of emerald jewelry (necklace, earrings, bracelet, and a ring) as well as three Gracedea flowers clipped to her hair.


Personality: Rose is a true princess, and carries herself as such. Since birth, she was taught to be elegant and graceful at all times, and still holds herself to those standards. She's a cool, calm, and collected young woman, who can keep a level-head when going into stressful situations. Her calmness also means she doesn't openly show her emotions too often. She is very slow to anger, and if she finds something funny the most you'll get is a smirk. When she talks to someone, she'll be blunt and get straight to the point. Rose is not shy and submissive in the slightest. She was trained to be a queen one day, which means she can't allow people to walk all over her. She will not hesitate to correct someone she deems is being rude.

Rose spends most of her time on her family's estate. She was homeschooled her entire life, and doesn't have much experience dealing with people who don't work for her. She expects to be treated like a Princess at all times, and as such often doesn't know how to respond when she isn't. She also can be a spoiled brat at times. She enjoys living the glamorous princess lifestyle, being given lavish gifts, and having wealth to spend on whatever she likes.

Her calm nature sometime makes her come off as cold to others, but that assessment couldn't be further from the truth. She's actually quite friendly around people she actually does know. She does have emotions, it's just that one has to try very hard to get her to show them. In conversation, she is a great listener, who will quietly and politely take in and absorb what others have to say. She pays attention, and offers advice if it's wanted. She's also very good at calming people during bad situations.

She has a fascination with myths and legends, and firmly believes in them. Her parents told her she came along after they prayed to Shaymin for a child, there certainly must be some truth to them. She's read all the books on all the Pokemon Myths. As you can imagine, she is really excited to go to the Hall of Legends, and learn what significance these dreams hold.

History: The Royal Hadley family of the Sinnoh region had been around for countless generations. The next child born would inherit the family estate and be in charge once their parents passed away. This was a great responsibility because along with it came the privilege to make large decisions for the Sinnoh region and it's relationship with the other regions. There was just one small problem, King Oliver and Queen Daisy had a difficult time conceiving a child. Not only did want a child, It also was their responsibility to conceive a heir, and continue the royal bloodline. They tried everything they could, but Daisy either could not conceive or would miscarry.

As a last resort, they travelled to a location called Flower Paradise, where there was a shrine dedicated to the Legendary Pokemon Shaymin. There, they gave thanks for the blessings of nature, and prayed for a child. Then they went home, and tried one last time. The next day, Daisy was pregnant, and nine months later she gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Rose. It was a tradition for women in the family to be named after flowers.

Rose grew up on her family's estate in Floaroma Town. She was trained in order to be the next queen of Sinnoh, and was taught all the rules that came with a royal title. She was spoiled and given every luxury a young girl could want. She was homeschooled her entire life by scholars and tutors that were handpicked by her parents. She was educated in a variety of subject that were important for a future queen to know such as history and etiquette. Her favorite subject to read about were myths and legends. Even if most people brushed them off as mere fairy tales, Rose found them fascinating. Her parents encouraged her belief by telling her how they prayed to Shaymin to be able to have a child, and the fact that she was born on the anniversary of the fabled Necrozma legend.

Rose encounters many Grass types in her day to day life. They are allowed to roam freely in the gardens of her family's estate. There was one Pokemon in particular that seemed to latch on to the young princess. A Budew would follow her around whenever she was in the garden. The Budew would defend her when ever she was attacked by a Rattata or some other infestation. Rose quickly formed an attachment to the Budew. Once she was given her own Pokeball from her parents, she immediately made this Budew her own, naming him Brier.

Rose lived what she considered a normal life. Preparing for the day where she would one day become the queen of Sinnoh. Two weeks before her eighteenth birthday, she had a dream where two voices called her Shaymin, and asked her to meet them at some place called the Hall of Legends. At first, Rose thought it was just a mere dream. The product of reading mythology books before bed. Brier however confirmed that they were not simply just dreams.

After experiencing more strange occurrences, such as producing vines from her hands, or realizing she was able to move faster under sunlight. After experiencing all of this, the first thing she did was tell her parents about everything, including her dream, and Brier talking to her. Much to her surprise, they believed her. Seeing as praying to Shaymin is what gave them a child in the first place, they knew better than to deny things like this. When the time came, Rose would have to go to this "Hall of Legends."

[Schade]

I daresay my SU is done now. Let me know if i need to change anything

 

[Hydrangea]

Posting my WIP for now.

Name: Kevin "from Retail" King
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Male
Hometown: Veilstone City, Sinnoh
Type: Normal-Type. Plain and simple.
Legendary: Regigigas
Powers:
- Teeter Dance: Kevin can dance a freaky ritualistic dance that confuse everyone that watches.
- Egg Bomb: He summons a hard-boiled egg from.. somewhere, and throws it at opponents. The egg explodes. It is also harmless for human consumption.
- Protect: He can summon force-fields around himself, and can shield others if they are near. This takes a big toll on him, and he can't uphod it for too long.
- Pay Day: Kevin hurls change from his pockets at his opponents. For some reason, more money can be collected afterwards than what Kevin threw.

Appearance: Kevin's appearance can be described as borderline plain. He is a mdium tall youngster standing at 183Cm tall with a slender build. His fair skin is fairly pale, and is dcently sensitive to sunlight. Kevin always tries to stay out of the sun anyway, so this doesn't bother him too much. He has dead, soul-less greyish blue eyes, and most of the time he has a friendly grin, giving him a friendly attitude with a hint of unease. His short brown hair is always kept in a slightly messy, yet styled fashion. He has a natural handsomeness to him, but he doesn't do anything with it, giving him his plain, Blend-into-the-crowd appearance

His outfits aren't anything to brag about either. Living in a below average wealthy family, he mostly buys his clothing at sales. He has a keen eye for sales, and never shys away from them. His regular casual attire consists of a plain white T-shirt with a deep neck, showing off what might actually develop into muscles in the future. He wear plain blie jeans, which are visably worn. A pair of green shoes for comfort, and a pale yellow hoodie compliments his attire, and gives him the generic slacker-look, which he is more than comfortable with.


Personality: Kevin is a very apathetic character that shows little to no emotion whatsoever, though he is very verbal about things that displease him. He exudes an aura of calm and quiet, although this stems instead from his chronic absentmindedness and laziness. His apathetic attitude is broken only for fits of annoyance and overall displeasing. He actively take a step back in discussions, out of fear of being ulled into the center of attention. He is most likely the one to remain the calmest in the middle of a crisis, often saying things like "Well this happened" just taking for granted that he is a secondary character in his own life.

Kevin has a cynical outlook on life and all it contains, ranging from his laziness to a surprising degree of approachability. (that's a word now). Despite it all, he is fairly easy to get along with and once you get to know him, you'll know that all he really wants from life, is for everything to stay the way they are. kevin's absentmindedness has also helped him to develop a hilarious immunity to sarcasm, often mistaking insults for peoples way of communicating. Neither bothered by the opinions of others, nor intimidated by his surroundings, Kevin is surprisingly keen at focusing on things oncee he sets his mind to it.

He's a hard worker, and while others his age are out n a pokemon journey, he figured he might as well get a kick start ont he inevitable new adventure that lies ahead: Morgage, a good economy and financial stability. Sure, his friends all find him boring for doing so, as they all speculated what kind of trainer he would be. Kevin himself doesn't mind this. to him, Pokemon are more like practical everyday tools rather than fighting machines. He doesn't mind how his life turned out, though his job at the local Food Food Food™ general grocery store in Veilstone City is a good one financially, he is pretty sick and tired of the barrage of strange individuals he meets throughout a day. Overall, he likes his life as it is, and doesn't want it to change.

As mentioned, Kevin is quite perspective despite his lazy attitude. His humor is about as deadpan as it gets, and literally only he himself find his jokes to be funny. He is very mature for his age and speaks in a very frank and straightforward fashion, which can make him come across as somewhat of a douche at times. Though he is vaguelly aware of this part of his personality, he doesn't do much to hide or change it. He is generally a calm and passive individual, enjoying his place as a drop in the ocean that is mainstream society. H enjoys the simple things in life, and doesn't really have any great ambitions.

Other:
- He works at Veilstone city Food Food Food™ general grocery store, and has recently become employee of the month.
- He has no specific or interesting skills whatsoever, being mediocre in pretty much everything he does.

History: Kevin's family is a below average wealthy working class family living in a run down apartment cmplex in Veilstone City, Sinnoh. He lives with his mother and younger sister, working mostly to providde for the family. His father left the trio with a huge gambling dept from the Veilstone City game corner, forcing both Kevin and his mother to take up extra jobs in order to provide for the family to the best of their ability. While his mother works as a clerk in the Veilstone City department store, Kevin himself got a job at the lesser-known Food Food Food store, located around the corner from their apartment building. His younger sister is still in junior high school.

Growing up, Kevin was always a lazy fellow who didn't really try his best at anything, getting by on luck and as little work from his part as possible. This landed him C's throughout the scoreboard on his gradesheet, and somehow landed him his current job, which he is surprisingly good at. He earns enough to keep the family afloat, and on occasion he may afford a luxurious food item such as a watermelon, ketchup or his sisters favorite Swirlix shakes. Overall, he is not displeased with how his life is. Due to his adaptable nature, it didnt take him long to settle into the family's new reality.

He landed his job at the grocery store at the age of 14, about a month after his father ran off. His mother had also taken up double shifts after this, leaving his little sister on her own most of the time. Like Kevin, his sister, June, was very mature for her age, and besides her occasionally talking to things that weren't there, she managed perfectly fine. Kevin, on the other hand, started to feel like his life was going in the wrong direction, or.. not going anywhere at all. Frankly he didn't care. He knew that supporting his family was his main priority at this point in his life, and though his mother felt bad that he had to pull the weight of their family, he always assured her it was fine. What else was he going to do with his life? Be a pokemon trainer? Pfh.

After a few years of living a normal life, Kevin was cleaning out the store one evening after closing when he heard a shuffling sound from the trashbin out back. It wasn't uncommon for some of the larger wild Pokemon to get into the trash, and his coworker must've forgotten to use the max repel back there again. Slightly unsettled by the fact that there had been a serie of kidnappings and murders in the city in recent times, Kevin brought out Kevin, a barbed baseball bat he had made just for occasions like these. sneaking out back towards the bin, a simple Bidoof jumped out, scaring the holy bajeezus out of him. it looked at him curiously, and tried to gulp down on Karen from finance's leftover burrito that she had thron earlier that day. It was an adorable pokemon, and it took an instant liking to Kevin, who decided he didnt want anything to do with it. Shooing the pokemon off, he proceeded to close the store as usual.

When he came home however, he quickly saw that the pokemon was sitting on his bed. Did it want more burritos? Did it want to kidnap and murder him? Who knew. What he did know was that the Bidoof had gnawed its way through the wall from the outside and into his bedroom. There was now a moderatly sized hole in his wall. Sighing in discomfort, Kevin just placed his dresser to cover the hole. He would have to put a plank down or something later. He then made the mistake of petting the pokemon and oh my god was it not the softest god damn fur he had ever felt in his entire life. without really thinking too much, he picked the plump pokemon up and proceeded to give it a bath in their bathtub. Neither his mom nor his sister seemed to care that the pokemon was in the house, and Kevin decided the pokemon could stay, for some reason.

Then came two weeks before his 18th birthday. Birthdays to Kevin was kinda a non-event at that point, as all it did was to remind him that life was short and you might end up kidnapped and killed Brenda. Though he was used to weird dreams due to the Haunter that lived in the woods outside of the complex, this one was different. It was the most vivid dream he had ever had, and it was a dream of him, sitting on what appeared to be a white marble throne under the clear sky. He was in the middle of a ceremonial altar overlooking an old Greco roman-looking arena, where maybe a dozen or so people were jumping around dancing a weird ritualistic dance and praising... Something. "Regigigas, Regigigas" they seemed to be chanting to the sounds of 4 drummers hammering down upon makeshift drums on each corner of the arena. Looking behind him, Kevin saw a ginormous statue of the same white marble as the throne, adorned with Sapphires, Diamonds and Rubies, as well as a fair amount of moss. It was obvious this place was some sort of altar to a being known as Regigigas. Kevin had no idea what it was, and looked around further. Beyond the borders of the arena was water, hinting that he was in some sort of remote island. Around him was also 3 smaller statues, made from Ice, Rock and Steel respectively. In front of the throne Kevin was sitting on sat large golden plates full of fruits, Ice Stones, wine and other offerings. There were people in the bacground on their knees, worshipping him. The people dancing were clad in minimalistic clothing, leaving very little, if anythng at all to the imagination. they had all sorts of bodypaint on, looking a lot like the statues around him. Kevin himself was dressed in something that looked like an aztec attire, adorning a huge white cape with black markings on it, clad with a green moss-like substance to act as its collar. He was completely nude under this, only decorated in the same ritualistic markings as the dancers in front of him. The chanting then became louder and louder. "Regigigas, Regigigas!"

He then awoke with a large gasp. He was coldsweating, and headed over to his dresser to move it out of the way to let in some air. That was by far the most effed up dream he had ever had. Oddly enough, he know also harbored new knowledge. Apparently the being in the dream being worshipped was him...? There was something about legends. 'awakening your true self' The dancing oh god the dancing. I feel funny. New powers?.. Heh.. it tickles. It was all coming to him so fast, he was pulled back to reality by a masculine voice. Turning around, of course the voice belonged to Bidoof. Bidoof explained to him his origins as the legendary pokemon, Regigigas. Bidoof also said how he was a Messenger of the Legends, and that upon turning eighteen his presence was required in the Hall of Legends, whatever that was. Kevin was quick to shut down the idea, and looking at the time, he only had 2 more hours of sleep before he had to get up and get ready for work. He figured this was all a strange fever-dream and that everything would go back to Normal tomorrow. It didn't.

Other:
- the serial kidnapper and killer from Veilstone City was never found, and remains active to this day.
- There's a huge hole in Kevin's bedroom wall
