• A reminder: If you want to ask an RP thread creator if you can join their RP, do so in private - via conversation or profile messages - or via the thread's discussion thread, if one exists. Do NOT ask if you can join an RP on the RP thread itself! This leads to a lot of unnecessary OOC chatter and that's not what the RP boards are for.

    This is clearly stated in our RP forum rules. If you've not read them yet, do so BEFORE posting anything in the RP forums. They may be found here (for Pokémon Role Play) or here (for General Role Play). Remember that the Global Rules of Pokécharms also apply in addition to these rule sets.
  • Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

Story

Derek sighed. Another day. Another dollar. At least, that's what John had said. And John was doing well. He was happy. Off in L.A. But Derek was stuck here in Kansas City. As far as he was concerned, Kansas was the most boring state in the world. No beautiful landscapes. No amazing animals. Well, there was the buffalo. But other than that, there were a lot of squirrels, rabbits, and birds. How boring.
An old lady walked up to the counter, and began putting items onto the conveyor. The cashier rung them up, and slid them down to Derek. Derek kept bagging groceries. Suddenly, the computer by the cashier went dead. Then, the lights went out. A few people screamed. Derek pulled out his phone. No signal.
What had happened?
