Please note that Ultra-worm holes spawn erratically and getting lost in Ultra space is far too tricky a scenario to work around without some legendary interference.
Please act responsibly and in accordance with Poke-Charms rules regarding interactions with Ultra Space and any other aspects of the World that have connections to legendary Pokemon.

Sophian
Esther has a bad habit of chewing on her cheeks and lips, she also has a tendency to play tongue-in-cheek when in deep thought. She finds herself somewhat restless when her mouth isn't in use, so she can frequently be seen chewing on gum, hard candy, edible plants, and anything else she can get her hands on.
Red (Naturally)
Black (Dyed)
Style
At first glance, her hair is dip-dyed red; its length—falling past her shoulders—wrapped in a messy bun of cinders amidst the darkness.

Eye Color
Amber
Skin Tone
Dusky
Height

Weight

Esther’s clothing style is distinctly simple and gothic: a one-piece dress, hemmed with ruffles and a darkened midriff. Beneath her dress is a bevy of ancillary gear: a stripped sleeve and cloth glove on her right hand, a finger loop glove on her left, and a lace garter on her right leg.

Mother's Occupation — Horticulturalist || Apiculture
Esther’s mother produces and sells honey with the aid of her Ribombee and Beedrill.
Father's Occupation — Textile Producer || Silk Farmer
Esther’s father produces and processes fine Pokémon silks which contribute to Oblivia’s textile industry. The textile rugs that famously decorate each house in Sophian island come from silk spun by his Leavanny and Ariados. The method of processing the best silk has been passed down for generations.
Level: 10
Species: Jangmo-o
Gender: Female
Ability: Overcoat
Pokedex Entry: #782 | Scaley Pokemon
They live in mountains where no trace of humans can be detected. Jangmo-o grow little by little as they battle one another. It will never show an enemy its back in battle. Ancient warriors liked Jangmo-o for its valiant disposition and made it one of their own. They learn to fight by smashing their head scales together. The dueling strengthens both their skills and their spirits. Its scales are actually fur that's become as hard as metal.
Description
Pyrrha's scales are paler than the average Jangmo-o and their edges follow a smoother, more sensual curve. Her turfs are rather fluffy, as she has an excess of down feathers; this is due to her ability, Overcoat. As a result, Pyrrha can be extremely soft and pleasant to the touch.
Personality
Pyrrha likes to fight; her handlers at the shelter would even say she liked to fight too much. Soon after she’d hatched, Pyrrha was already known as a brutal scrapper with strong instincts. Her hardy body and natural ferocity lent themselves to tyrannical and one-sided battles that, on occasion, went too far: as Pyrrha punished opponents who’d already been knocked unconscious. Because of this heavy-handedness, Pyrrha was kept at length during playtime. Although she was introduced to older, more capable Pokémon, Pyrrha never took to them and kept to herself.

Setting
The setting for this RP is the entire Pokemon world, set eight ( 8 ) years after Generation 8. The limits of the Pokemon world have never been fully explored as the addition of features such as Ultra Wormholes and Ultra Space open up the possibility of cross-dimensional travel. These cross-dimensional wormholes can be used as a means to allow non-canon regions (as long as they are well made) to play a part in, what at this point, is the wider Poke-Multiverse.Please note that Ultra-worm holes spawn erratically and getting lost in Ultra space is far too tricky a scenario to work around without some legendary interference.
Please act responsibly and in accordance with Poke-Charms rules regarding interactions with Ultra Space and any other aspects of the World that have connections to legendary Pokemon.

World Coronation Series
With the advent of Pokemon Journeys, the world coronation series has become a huge thing. I plan to keep that system in play, but with a few modifications to account for, what I see, as numbers that were too small.Master Class (Top Trainers) Rank 1 - 8
The Master Class is in a state of constant flux, between all the Champions, Frontier Brains, supposedly legendary trainers, and otherwise mentioned in Pokemon—there's simply no way that 8 people are consistently hitting this class. Champion-level trainers are all taken to be intelligent and will learn from past mistakes and they aren't shy about adding additional Pokemon to their roster—such as Cynthia's recently confirmed Kommo-o from Masters.
These trainers should be in fierce competition, constantly outsmarting and outplaying each other. Even the likes of Cynthia or Red would not be guaranteed entry into the Master Class every year, because we know there are trainers out there who can beat them.
This might not happen frequently, the likes of Red and Cynthia are legends for a reason; I'm simply pointing out there more than 8 trainers of that calibre just in the canon verse alone.
Ultra Class (Legendary/Highly Acclaimed trainers) Rank 9 - 100
This Class is where the bulk of the world's strongest trainers reside. Between the eight main regions alone, there are more than 64 gym leaders, 32 Elite 4, a handful of Frontier Brains, Champions, and ex-Champions—you get the point. Anyone in this tier should be frequently brushing shoulders with Champion-level trainers and should have extensive battle experience and strong Pokemon. Anyone in this tier is a contender for one of the best trianers in the world and could potentially see themselves in the Master's 8 if they play their cards right, and a little bit of luck aids them.
With the possible addition of fan regions or even non-main series trainers like those in Stadium or Coliseum OR the addition of Boss/Admin level trainers of evil teams who should be at this level, there are easily far more than a 100 worth of trainers.
If your Oc even touches this tier you'll need to convince me and everyone else in this RP that they're that caliber of trainer and have the experience to back it up.
Great (Extremely Notable Veteran Trainers) Rank 101 - 5,000
Premier (Veteran Trainers) 5,000 - 50k
Normal Rank (Average Trainers) 50k +
Rules
- All Pokecharms Global Rules should be followed.
- TRs & TMs will exist independently, all TRs/TMs from all generations can be utilized. They will, however, be expensive.
- With adequate training and writing, Pokemon can tutor each other—much like Ash's Buizel was able to learn Ice Punch
If you have a pokemon that naturally learns flamethrower, they can tutor it to another Pokemon who can learn flamethrower. This is not an easy process and should not happen quickly or in a handful of posts. If it does happen, you will promptly be notified that you are in violation of this tenet. - You have complete freedom with how your OC is created as long as it is proper and reasonable.
Your Oc is not Red. Your Oc is not Cynthia. Your Oc is not related to Red or Cynthia in some attempt to justify why their newly hatched Wurple just suplexed a Steelix. - Cross-Regional Travel is permitted and encouraged.
- Look through the lore of Pokemon, find fun places to visit and explore—there are entire lost civilizations casually mentioned in the anime and never brought up again. Show some creativity and put in some effort or research.
- As you might've already guessed fake/fan-made regions and Pokemon are allowed, so long as they're well created. I'd like to see maps, base stats, move pools, the whole works before I approve any fakemon/regions.
- There's an 8 move limit and moves can be taken from all generations.
- Since we're going to need to keep track of the Region, Town, and Date, please include those in the header of your post.
e.g.
Hoenn, Slateport - July 15th
Keep track of continuity! - There is a money system in this RP; though you won't be forced to track every coin unless you want to.
- Humans are not assumed to have the same durability as Ash, you will not get off scott-free if your OC takes a flamethrower to the face.
