- Preface: This RP is rated R for violence and psychological horror as the themes for this game are horror, survival, and mystery. If you do not feel comfortable with these topics, be completely sure you can handle intense scenes if you still want to sign up. Feel free to message me if you have questions or concerns. -
- Update: Added the map and some additional information about the lab. -
The WIPRF Battle Division recently put out a request for Pokemon trainers to partake in part of their research. They ask for one evening of gathering some battle data for a new project they want to take up in return for a small monetary wage, so naturally you submitted an application. They sent an email response and after a bit of back and forth you were approved for the experiment. They promised to send further information with a visitor badge by mail which sits open before you now.
- Thank you for responding to our offer! We are delighted to have you partake in our experiment and have further details for you below. Included in this letter is a temporary visitor badge that you can use to enter the facility and get access to the Battle Division buildings. We will provide a meal for you as well and any healing required for your Pokemon during the experiment. Please read through the experiment details carefully so we can get through things efficiently. Thank you for helping us in our research and we look forward to meeting with you! -
The letter was cheerful and dry, as to be expected. It arrived a few days before Friday when the experiment was to take place. While you don’t know much about what will actually happen once you’re in a room full of scientists, the letter goes on to explain a few details.
- For the experiment, we ask that you bring one (1) partner Pokemon of your choice. They must be used for battling and have at least two years of experience. Preferably, you and your Pokemon have a significant relationship of some kind, be it friendly or otherwise, but we understand not all trainers will be able to strongly bond with a Pokemon even over the course of two years. We ask that you do not bring any battle enhancing items as we will not be using them during the tests, Mega Stones and Key Stones are not allowed on site as stated in the rules bellow. If at any point you or your Pokemon are uncomfortable going through with any of the tests we have, speak up and we will adjust the procedure to allow you to step out, payment will still be given. We will also be happy to answer any questions during the test if they would put your at ease. Let us know of any allergies ahead of time so we may procure the equipment we need.
Further rules of the laboratory are as follows; -
The letter goes on into some detailed rules, but along with the letter is a small plastic card. It has a picture of the lab logo, some random numbers, the name of the lab, and Battle Division Visitor with your name at the top of it all. There’s still a few days until the date they’re expecting you; it doesn’t seem like they’re expecting much so hopefully nothing can go wrong.

Willdron Island and the Pokemon Research Facility
- There are 4 Divisions dedicated to the research of Pokemon; Attacks, Battle, Evolution, and Hatching/Breeding. Each has their own main building, storage building, and fenced area for wild Pokemon used in experiments. They are also called by A Division, B Division, E Division, and H Division.
- There are 2 Water buildings for exclusively water Pokemon. Scientists from any division can request approval for research time from any Division.
- There are 2 Security buildings near the lake close to the center of the island. They have guards posted at each building and some that routinely patrol the island.
- The south-west of the island has a dock where visitors and workers enter from. Each person is checked before entering the main island and the Welcome Center is the first building past the dock.
- The south-east of the island has a Recovery Center for any Pokemon that have just been through a test or experiment. One exception are the Hatching/Breeding Pokemon which are taken care of by the Division as their growth is often part of their research, but there are constant checks in place to see to their care.
- There is a road going around the whole island. Cars are available to staff members at each main building. People are also free to ride their Pokemon along the roads as long as they are courteous to other members using the roads.
- Update: Added the map and some additional information about the lab. -
~~Intro~~
The Willdron Island Pokemon Research Facility (WIPRF), located south of the coast of Unova, has been known to produce some of the worlds best and possibly most underrated scientists. While not known for any groundbreaking discoveries, the steadfast dedication to the understanding of Pokemon has led to some fundamental truths. For example, the first scientist to discover the branching evolutionary paths of Wurmple conducted their first tests at WIPRF. This helped lead to further discoveries such as Vivillon wing pattern dependence on climate. While a newer lab compared to others, their continued funding allows WIPRF to keep up with the best scientists of the planet. New technology is always being implemented and WIPRF experiments are always finding their way into the news.
The WIPRF Battle Division recently put out a request for Pokemon trainers to partake in part of their research. They ask for one evening of gathering some battle data for a new project they want to take up in return for a small monetary wage, so naturally you submitted an application. They sent an email response and after a bit of back and forth you were approved for the experiment.

~~The WIPRF Tragedy Sign-Up Rules~~
Welcome to the facility! While every character will have different motivations for wanting to partake in the experiment at the lab, everyone will have to play by the same rules. First, rules of the lab (in-game rules). In the middle of the letter you received, the following rules were highlighted;
- Scientists and visitors are allowed one (1) Pokemon on site at all times. There are exceptions to this rule for working Pokemon, speak with the Hiring Office to request forms for allowing a working Pokemon.
- Mega Stones and Key Stones are not allowed on site. Much of our research is sensitive to higher energies and a Mega Evolution could cause improper readings or damage certain equipment.
- Some areas of the lab do research on Mega Evolution and have additional equipment to help reduce spreading energies.
- Poke Balls are not allowed on site. Pokemon on site are wild and protected.
- Badges are to be worn by visitors at all times. If found in an area for authorized personnel only, visitors may be escorted back to the main building or asked to leave.
- Some areas of the lab allow visitors to be escorted through, given the scientist has proper training.
The out-of-game rules are as follows;
- Follow all Serebii rules.
- R rating; swearing, violence, and psychological horror will be present, but with discretion. This is a horror RPG after all so death may be a possibility if people play dangerously, just not completely overboard.
- At this time, there are 10 sign-up slots available.
- I might make more available, but as lab employees. We will have to see once things get rolling.
- If anyone would like to participate as a Co-GM, please send me a message. I would greatly appreciate the help and we can still have fun with it.
