Open Pokemon Contest Journey

Yep, I'll definitely join this! (although Eevee's taken... *silently cries in corner*)

 

So our secondary pokemon can be anything (aside from Legendaries/Mythicals/Ultra Beasts, of course)?

 

Yeah, because Evolved Pokemon can't hatch from eggs and whatnot.
I'll write up an OC later. Might even use someone completely new, like I did for Kalos Adventures.

 

I am grateful for the fact that you want me to join, but I am going to skip on this one. Contests are not my strongest point, and as you know I am trying not to join too many RPs just now. I would be glad to help out however I can, though. Just let me know!

 

Sounds interesting. I'll have to brainstorm for a bit, but I think a Turtwig character, with a Chatot or Wingull as a secondary little friend. (If it wasn't obvious I'm kind of going through a phase of Wingull and it's starting to show-) I'll have it written up later but this is something mildly interesting.

 

Can I reserve Popplio as my character's starter?

 

Are these contests like the ones in the games/anime, or like the Performances in the XY/XYZ anime?

 

I will! although I admit I don’t know much about contests

 

Can I reserve squirtle?

 

I am also trying not to join any RPs at the moment, however, I will help monitor when I can... (But I can contest RP)

 

Sure, I can help out. I think I'll join too! May I reserve Cyndaquil? I'll figure out my secondary when I know which character I'm using. ​

 

Name: Sasha Withers

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Looks: Sasha is darker skinned, a shade of cinnamon if you will. She stands at 5'6" with a thin but well formed, toned build. She has long, straight black hair that she normally wears loosely tied up. Her eyes are a mesmerizing shade of cognac brown. A simple black tribal sun is tattooed around her belly button.

Clothing: She wears a black cropped tube top with a slightly too big red and black plaid button up shirt over top of it, the sleeves are folded up to her elbows. She lets it lay loosely around her shoulders and always leaves it open and unbuttoned. Along with it, she wears acid washed high-waisted jean shorts and black lace up sandals.

Personality: Sasha is intelligent and perceptive, friendly with others, and often opts to go with the flow and see where life takes her. She's willing to do just about anything just because why not? She is a truly free spirited risk taker and thrill seeker despite her gentle nature. Nothing really phases her, which allows her to stay calm and clear headed in even the worst of situations.

Alpha the Lycanroc (Midday Form) (F)

Name:
Clementine Truefire
Gender:
Female
Age:
18
Looks:
Clementine Truefire is a normal girl, 4'6" in height, with medium Caucasian skin. A rather short girl, with petite and usually soft features that match her whole 'cute' aesthetic. She has short arms and short legs- she tries not to let it bother her, but it has to do with her short height.

Her eyes are upturned- in a position that makes her look rather scared all the time- the color of the inside of an orange, golden-orange. Clementine has long, beautiful white hair, which is washed frequently, causing it to be bouncy and free-form. It doesn't seem to be dyed, which is extremely odd. Her hair is usually left down- it reaches down to her mid-back, and she doesn't have bangs. Due to it's length, she often toys with her hair- it gives her something to do when she's feeling overstimulated or nervous.

Truefire's face is round and soft, as most of her bodily features are. She has two birthmarks- a beauty mark below her lip on the left side, and a birthmark that takes over the right side of her face. The over-taking birthmark makes the right side of her face a fleshy pink color, and her eye is the only feature that goes unaffected by this. Truth be told- Clementine hates her face. It usually makes people feel bad for her- and it gets on her nerves.
Clothing:
Clementine has never been one for overly showy clothing, but she does enjoy being somewhat savvy. The only thing she ever found comfort in as a child was her artistic side- especially when it came to clothing and showing her emotions and feelings through how she dresses. Clementine didn't doll herself up or anything- but she found contentment through the way she chose to dress herself. She likes the casual approach- it makes her feel fashionable, while also being comfortable.

A looming black sunhat is placed on her head- she uses it to hide her face when she's embarrassed or scared, just like how she plays with her hair. Trufire, as mentioned, has learned to control such extreme emotions (negative and positive) through actions that will not usually weird the other parties she has come in contact with. She also wears a pair of thick, black sunglasses when it's especially sunny and bright. As a young kid she wore glasses- and this has caused her eyes to become more sensitive to bright lights and colors.

Clementine, for main attire, wears first a white T-shirt, with a Cheri berry printed on it. She pairs it with black leggings- she liked white leggings for awhile, but she began to prefer black leggings because her white ones scuffed and dirt and grime collected too easily. She has bracelets coiled around her wrist- most of them are friendship bracelets she made for herself when she was younger (she never really had anyone to call her 'friends', other than her mother's Stargazer Lily Ivysaur), and others are those you can buy in stores. For shoes she actually wears a pair of thick sneakers- white in color, with a cheri berry patch on the side facing outwards.

She's not a big fan of much jewelry- necklaces, chokers- but she does enjoy earrings. She has a white, small hoop piercing on each ear, along with a industrial piercing on the left ear only.

For items, she carries and over-the-shoulder bag- white in color. She's attached many different keychains to it, of a multitude of Pokemon. (I.e. Vaporeon, Glaceon, Vespiquen, Dragonair, etc.) Along with that she also uses a tiny wallet- adorned with pins she collects of Pokemon she comes to own (Turtwig, Grotle, Torterra, Chatot, Sandile, Minior, Volbeat, etc.)- to store the Pokedollars she wins from contests.

Speaking of contests, Clementine's contest wear usually consists of an outfit you would've never seen Clementine in on any other circumstance. She wears a yellow, halter dress that comes down to her knees- it has a ruffled collar, and covers most of her body, except for her arms, of course. She pairs this with a chunky-heeled, strapped sandal, the strap being a metallic material while the rest is made of a faux, leather-like material. Her hair is adorned with a white flower- with metallic branches that spread out into more white and orange flowers. It is positioned on the right side of her hair, unlike most of her accessories, which are positioned on the left side of her body. She doesn't have her bracelets this time, and they are instead replaced by golden cuffs that really end it all off. She doesn't really wear any makeup- other than golden-yellow eyeshadow and some mascara.
Personality:
Clementine is a shy and timid person- she is startled extremely easily and is always looking out for herself and her Pokemon. Like a shrinking violet- that's what her mother called her throughout childhood- she's overly nervous, always shy and unknowing of how to be friends with others. She tries her best to be social and confident- but it doesn't work in her favor, and she's usually misunderstood, causing her to seem even more sheepish. Truth be told, she's only ever had friends through Pokemon- an only child to a single mother, she never felt like she belonged anywhere but by herself. Now pretty much an adult, she's become introverted and reserved, and has a hard time making friends and having fluid conversations without messing up and feeling the need to apologize for most of the things she does. Over-apologetic, if you will.

When she's with her Pokemon, however, she seems much more- calm? Perhaps her time with her Mother's Pokemon has given her more comfort in the company of Pokemon than in the company of normal people. I digress, however. There is much more to Clementine than her sheepish exterior- her witty self, her will to persevere. Clementine usually finds her comfort in Pokemon, but she can and probably will open up to friends pretty easily. While it may take a bit of time to get Truefire to warm up to you, but once you do, you'll have a coordinator and her Pokemon who are willing to help you and are excited to be your friend. Why be friends with her Pokemon? You may ask, but it's simple. Clementine enjoys having friends through one person's Pokemon and the other, along with the trainers themselves showing friendship.

Once learning of her Turtwig's disability, she has become a bit protective, but will allow her Pokemon to live normally. All she wants is for her Pokemon to be happy and win alongside her- and her Pokemon seem to share that same memo.
Starter:
Navine | Turtwig | Male

Secondary Pokemon:
Tiana | Chatot | Female

Pokemon Team:
Navine | Torterra | Male

Tiana | Chatot | Female

Charlotte | Maractus | Female

Extra Info (added):
-Navine is blind. Clementine wants to do her best to care for him and since Navine shows interest in contests, perform with him.
-Clementine is oddly good at move combinations- you may see her finding new ways to use her Pokemon's moves well despite being a nervous wreck.

(Don't know if you need this since I've rped with this group before, but if you do I don't mind)

This took a bit aaa. Got a bit caught up talking about Pokemon lore with my Mother and playing Omega Ruby yesterday to finish this up when intended.

 

Thank you, @EmoKitty21 , I tried to model Clementine after the people who have to suffer being different because of birthmarks AND I don't really have a mainly quiet and fearful character to work with yet.

 

I think the thought is what counts, especially when you're trying to represent something. I like to give my characters personal problems and dilemas that they must overcome as well. Like, I'm going to have Clementine, at first, do everything she can to prove herself 'normal', and then become more and more accepting of herself and allow her and Navine to live normally without so much self-doubt.

 

I adore that about yours. I like how they seem to be so...calm, even if someone is literally about to beat them up for being a bit careless. But I also like to do things with Pokemon. Blindness and other disabilities are pretty common in animals in the real world, so I believe Pokemon would suffer the same fate. I decided Clementine also having a Pokemon to care for at all times would influence her careful nature.
And with the Chatot, I feel like the poor thing doesn't get enough attention as it has much potential for contests. I also think it would be fitting to have it to be a friend to Navine, I named them very...specifically.

 

Nice!​

 

If you're trying to go for symbolic Pokemon then I'd suggest Sunflora or Kecleon, but if not I like the idea of him having a shiny Vanillite, a Cutiefly, or a Chingling for complimenting coloration.

By the way, I changed Clementine's Pokemon Team for the future a bit. Nothing really changed I just added two Pokemon.

 

Also I have a Dedenne too. I don't mind it, but I know you want people to have different pokemon, so is that okay Kitty?​

 

I mean, the only firefly Pokemon are Illumise and Volbeat, and I didn't know if that would fit so I went with Mothim? And I might have her get a Minior named Evangeline, but I just don't know. :>>>
