This is a continuation off another RP, called 'Journey in Galar- The Return Journey'.

GTS stands for Galar to Sinnoh.

~History...~

In the previous RP several pokémon adventurers made their way to Sangem town where they were met with the Professor Rowan. Some were given pokémon, but all of them began their journey. Many of them had since then arrived in Jubilife City where they either explored the city, or went straight to the pokémon center. From there they set their journey to Oreburgh City.

~Beginning of the RP...~

For RP purposes, this is going to be a fresh start. Perhaps your character has just arrived in Sinnoh. Maybe via the air port in Jubilife City, maybe via the boat service in Sangem Town, maybe your character is native to Sinnoh, or maybe you found your own way to Sinnoh. As you arrive/head to Sangem town to begin your journey, you head to the Research lab where you either receive your very first pokédex, or maybe an update on your pokédex if you already have one. Remember, have fun!

~Rules...~

1. Follow charms rules.
2. Let's try to limit swearing.
3. You are allowed one evolved pokémon.
4. Gym Leaders are controlled.
5. move limit is 6 per pokémon
6. In pokémon battles, limit move usage to one or two moves per post, please.

~Example...~

Name: Dolan Larch
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Personality: For the most part, Dolan is a fairly cheerful boy. He's friendly for the most part. Though his personality changes depending on the subject. He's relatively awkward when it comes to things outside his field of experience. However he's more open and confident when it comes to the things he likes. He can be a bit odd at times, and his personality can seemingly change randomly on a whim, but overall he tries to be a good person. He also has little to no concern for personal space.
Physical Appearance: Dolan is a fairly pale complected boy who stands around 5'5 1/2 ft. (He's very self conscious about that extra half inch. Don't call him 5'5 ft. He's 5'5 1/2 ft. His hair is silver. its collar length. he combs it back ,but its kinda messy and spikes up a little. His eyes are pale blue, he always has a blank expression like he's staring into space or looking at your soul or something. He's a fairly thin boy with some muscle on him.
Clothing: He wears a shirt with four large squares; in the top corner of his shirt is a rainy field, in the top left is the same field ,but cloudy, in the bottom right is the field with hail ,and the bottom left is bright sunny field. In the center of the shirt is a castform in its natural form. He wears a purple hoodie with red and yellow patches randomly tossed about(he wears it open revealing his shirt, he wears plain blue jeans with a small patch of green and orange plaid over his right kneecap ,and sneakers with all sorts of colors; blue, orange, gray, white, yellow ,and purple(reference to the regi family). He wears a pair of blue gogo goggles around his neck in case he goes swimming or to the desert.
Partner Pokémon: Ditto(shiny): Aloi
Other Pokémon: Gitchy (if the RP lives long enough I will try to create the normal trainer card in my signature)
Occupation: photographer/author.
Other: Dolan grew up in a somewhat weird family. His father, a man named Daniel, is a former rocker boy who played base guitar in a rock band ,and loves to listen to classic rock music. He likes to think he is still living in his glory days ,but most of those days have long since passed him. Just like his hair line. Then theres his mother, a woman named Deniece. His mother is a bit of a quiet woman at first glance. She enjoys reading books ,and likes collecting glass pokédolls. I said first glance earlier because she's actually a big rock music fan in disguise. Daniel and Deniece like to listen to rock and roll at unbearably loud volumes. Secretly Deniece likes to listen to pop music when Daniel isn't around. Dolan has two siblings. A older sister named Dianne, she is the smartest person in the family. She enjoys playing the viola, the piano ,and all sorts of classical instruments ,but her big passion in life is medicine. She wants to become a medical practitioner when she grows up. His other siblings is his younger brother David. David is the tech person of the family. He spends lots of hours playing video games. David plans to one day create a computer simulator game where people can interact with virtual pokémon. Which seems a lot easier than feeding and taking care of real pokémon. Lastly is Dolan's grandfather on his mother's side. Derrick. Also known as Professor Larch. Dolan's grandfather is an old retired professor who still after all these years doesn't approve of his daughter's husband. Also Daniel is a little jealous cause Derrick still got that full head of hair ,and isn't above letting him know or bragging.

Dolan's father is the manager at a warehouse company ,and his mother is the head staff worker at her library. Dolan had a simple life with decent friends ,and though his parents weren't rich. They did make more than enough money to live a really nice life. Dolan had everything he could ever need ,and just about everything he could want within reason of course.

His first ever pokémon was a ditto he named Aloi. Dolan never realized just how lucky he was when he met Aloi. To Dolan Aloi was just a random blue pokémon. Dolan didn't even know what a ditto was let alone that the average ditto is supposed to be pink! One day Dolan was walking in a field when he mysteriously saw a blue blob in some bushes. When all of the sudden it became a strangely off colored pidgey. Baffled by this he watched as the pokémon attempted to fly away ,but was too injured to actually fly away. He ran over to it which startled the creature into pecking him. As he tried to take the thing to the pokécenter he was attacked by starly. Whatever this thing did it must have pissed those starly off. Dolan got pecked a whole bunch by the pidgey ,but he managed to take Aloi to the pokécenter ,and that's how their friendship started.

Back when Dolan's dad was young he had a huge gambling addiction. So much so that he had three coin cases. He was smart and managed to make tons and tons of coins. He never spent them for some strange reason cause he could never decide what he wanted. One day years later he took his son to a game corner to which Dolan saw a porygon ,but the store owner wouldn't let him have it as it costed coins. Not wanting to see his boy disappointed, he bought the porygon with a small portion of his prize money. He had so much that what the cost of the porygon didn't actually matter much. Dolan would never forget this ,and neither would his father which is why his father made him work to earn the porygon. To which Dolan happily obliged to with cheer. Some time later after paying his dad back. One day Dolan's brother found some strange computer programs to which fried his computer. After having to toss his old computer out he sadly had to wait till the holidays to get a new one. Though the story of his old computer didn't die there... That afternoon Gitchi had somehow knocked the trashcan over ,and was playing with the computer when it went inside the computer ,and somehow come out... differently hence how it became porygon 2. Dolan was surprised to see his porygon had mad such a dramatic change. So was the rest of his family, including his grandfather the most. His brother though never using the computer again decided to keep it for sentimental reasons ,and even allowed Dolan to keep the weird programs seeing how Gitchy seemed to like them ,and yes. David did get his new computer later that year to which he was smart enough to never use strange programs on it again ,or at least without taking precautions.

Dolan enjoys writing books ,and taking pictures. Its one of the few things in life that truly make him happy. He also enjoys working out with his father as his father is in addition to being a former rocker/warehouse manager enjoys exercise to avoid getting a dad bod. His hair line may have given up on him ,but at least his muscles won't. After spending a few years writing books ,and taking photographs with his family as they traveled to different regions.

Dolan had written three books in his life;

'Home sweet Johto' (which is a collection of many pictures, stories, tourist attractions ,and lore surrounding his home region)
'across the silver mountain' (which is a collection of many pictures, stories, tourist attractions ,and lore surrounding the neighboring region of Kanto)
Alohalola(which is a collection of many pictures, stories, tourist attractions ,and lore surrounding surrounding the region Alola. A place his family went on vacation to many times growing up)

At this point in time Dolan finally built up enough confidence to get out of his shell and try to venture to a different region all by himself. Hopefully he would make friends and meet cool people on his first ever journey.

Name: Ezekiel "Zeke" Jackson
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Personality: A bit of a hyperactive one to say the very least, Zeke is one who takes to life with boundless passion & excitement and treats everything as a competition; no matter how minor one thing may be. Often is an example of "leap before you look" as he has a tendency to rush into situations without thinking every detail over for better and for worse. Wears his heart on his sleeve, as while he can be a bit too blunt at times and a bit of a handful, is genuine in every aspect and a very supportive and encouraging one if he grows to like whatever person or Pokemon he may bump into. Has a competitive streak stemming from bouts with his twin sister but is a fair sport taking defeat on the chin with gusto in spite of it.
Physical Appearance: A young man with fair skin, blue eyes and short spikey blonde hair . Is of average build for his edge if not a touch slender with some deceptive athleticism; though is a touch short for his height.
Clothing: Wears a black top with a dark blue open jacket and a pair of black pants complete with a pair of blue tennis shoes with white laces. Also wears a golden locket around his neck that seems to have a slight engraving of a heart on the outside.

Partner Pokémon: Lightning (Luxio)
Other Pokémon: Egg (Gible)
Occupation: Pokemon Trainer
Other: Is from Sunyshore City, Sinnoh. His twin sister Elizabeth "Eliza" is also a trainer currently in Kalos and his mother a retired Coordinator named Emelia "Lily" but now prideful baker.

Name: Victoria Melis
Age: 17 (nearing 18 )
Gender: Female
Personality: Due to being raised in a rich family, Victoria does show some traits that a stereotypical rich person would have, although it's not very often. Even though she tries to be more honest with herself, she is not one to admit or express her feelings so easily at times. Once she puts her mind towards something, she usually doesn't back down or give up on it so easily. She can get overconfident at times and tends to beat herself up whenever it leads her to failure.
Physical Appearance: Victoria has somewhat light skin, light brown eyes, and short light blonde hair (the bob hairstyle from the XY games with bangs).
Clothing: She wears a white short-sleeved shirt with a faded floral pattern, grey skirt, black high-knee stockings, black flats, and a black fedora with a white band. She also has an expensive small black backpack.
Partner Pokémon: Piplup
Other Pokémon: Shinx. She has other Pokémon from her previous travels back in Kalos.
Occupation: Pokémon Trainer
Likes: Pokémon, battling, and traveling.
Dislikes: Very dark places, but she tends to try hiding her fear from others.
Other: She traveled through Kalos, Unova, Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto, acquiring gym badges and competing in their respective Pokémon Leagues. She decided to travel to Sinnoh solo this time, not bringing any of her past Pokémon and starting from the very ground up. She did this as a way to test how much she's grown as a trainer.

Name: Jacob "Jake" Fisher

Age: 16, but recently turned so

Gender: Male

Personality: Rather shy, kinda socially awkward, can be joking and playful around friends, as well as sarcastic (in a good way).

Physical Appearance: Short dark brown hair so dark its nearly black, chocolate brown eyes, slight dark circles under his eyes, born with a smaller right ear (he's deaf in it), average/slightly short in height.

Clothing: Clothes can vary, but in this he'll wear a gray t shirt, a white hoodie jacket, monotone plaid trousers, black socks, black chukka boots, a plaid/monotone travel backpack, and a black sport cap with a white pokeball on it. If anyone is curious, all of these are in Sw/Sh.

Partner Pokémon: Sonny, a male Raboot. Current moves include Bounce, Double Kick, Ember and Flame Wheel. Jake's starter pokemon, when he was a Scorbunny.

Name: Tony Mercer
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Personality: Despite his gloomy appearance and stoic expression, Tony is surprisingly kinder than one would expect, never afraid to ask if anyone needs help and is no stranger to smiling despite how rarely he shows his emotions. If anyone is rude to him, he won't hesitate to talk back. He loves Pokemon with a strong passion and wouldn't hesitate to help them out if needed, this love is strong enough for him to loathe trainers who mistreat their Pokemon or simply see them as tools... this however isn't as strong as his hatred for losing as he views it as humiliation rather than a 'lesson' and is known to be rather cruel when angry. The most likely time someone will see Tony smile is during a heated Pokemon battle. Some people say Tony used to be a much more cheerful person in the past, but 'something' in his past changed him forever.
Physical Appearance: At first glace, Tony looks like a Gothic type of person, standing at 5' 11" with his extremely Pale skin regardless of how often he goes outdoors along with extremely dark Blond short, somewhat messy hair and almost foggy ocean Blue eyes. His body figure looks slim with a decent amount of fitness.
Clothing: His attire consists of a White t shirt underneath an ankle long closed jet black hooded coat (Much like this), dark Gray baggy pants and Black boots.
Partner Pokémon: Zorua (Female)
Other Pokémon: Noibat (Male)
Occupation: Pokemon Trainer
Other: N/A, backstory will be revealed sometime within the RP.

Name: Reginald "Reggie/Reg" Valerias
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Personality: Reggie is a very exuberant young man. He swings his arms around every which way to convey his emotions in what seems to be frantic motions, but they aren't meant to show panic. No, they are meant to show his unending excitement and make him something to stare at. He didn't care if people stared at him for negative or neutral reasons, he just cared he had a spotlight on him. With his Gastly sharing this same sentiment, the shininess factor and Reggie's loud and attention-grabbing antics make them the star of almost any show and they both drink up the attention people give them. When around people, he is extremely sweet and loyal to anyone who wants to be his friend, and he gains friends quickly - or at least becomes the other person's friend quickly, despite the other person not reciprocating the platonic relationship. He tries to get to know people as well as he can and will sacrifice the stuff he wants to make sure his friends are happy, and he is quick to defend his friends, leading to some misunderstandings if he's not careful to judge people's faces and reactions to each other.

He does have two sides to him. The normal rambunctious side of him is the side most people see. The more stoic and professional side of him are ones that business people see. Whenever he meets someone who is high up in the "ladder", he tends to adopt a more professional way of speaking and acting, forgoing most slang and his cheery attitude for something more polite and respectable. His voice is pretty baritone, but he can reach to the heights of tenor if he gets really excited. He is also becoming something of a lady's man and tries to charm women around his age. It isn't for any reason than to make the woman feel good about themselves while he flirts with them, trying to lift their spirits and make them smile. He understands he isn't everyone's type, but he does his best to sacrifice his feelings, time, and energy to make sure people around him are happy. However, you insult him when he thinks you are his friend and he'll get very paranoid about whether or not he's going to be your friend still, to the point where the paranoia eats away at him and it ends up destroying the relationship when it could have gotten better if he didn't freak out so much. If you aren't his friend and you mean it when you insult him, he just insults back in a coy, smug manner because he has no time for such silliness and is self-confident enough to not be persuaded by mere jabs from a stranger. Though, he will forgive a stranger for the comments they have said before easier than if a long-time friend were to try and make up for their comments and attitudes.
Likes: He adores Bug-Types, thinking they are so cute and misunderstood. Ghost-Types is his type specialty, and he really likes that type for many reasons. He also likes Psychic-Types due to their usefulness for his sleep schedule. He also loves having pretend tea parties, hide and seek, and training/cleaning his (and other people’s) Pokemon. He also likes flirting with the ladies, but mostly doing so to make them feel special.
Dislikes: He dislikes losing and may sometimes be a sore loser depending on how many people are watching him (if he’s in a Gym, then he’s not going to show how unsportsmanlike he is, he at least has enough self awareness for that). He also despises Dark-Types because he finds them spine-chillingly disturbing. He also hates losing sleep. He also hates getting dirty. Like all men, he doesn’t like being rejected, but can at least be a good sport about it.
Physical Appearance: Reggie has blonde hair that is combed back and bright sapphire eyes. He is 5'11" (180 cm) and weighs 160 lbs (72.57 kg). He has an average body type, but on the skinny side. He has porcelain pale skin, which is odd considering he has traveled before. It isn't so odd when people realize he's actually pretty vain and tries not to get himself too dirty.
Clothing: He usually wears something pretty close to travel-okay business casual clothing. He has dark grey dress pants, black dress shoes, black socks, a purple trainer belt with PokéBall slots, a dark purple dress shirt, and a green XTransceiver on his right wrist. He also has a simple black phone that should have a Rotom, but is fit with a sim card instead. Finishing off his look, he has a black dress coat with golden cuff buttons and a yellow and red striped bowtie. He occasionally wears a black trilby with a red sash around the base. He absolutely loves his trilby and will make sure it doesn't get damaged or lost. For more casual clothes when he knows he'll get dirty, he has black combat boots, baggy dark grey pants, a simple t-shirt with an vague Giratina design, his purple trainer belt, and a grey coat with red and black stripes on the front, yellow spiked pockets and cuffs, and the hoodie has yellow fluff around the hood's edges. Wherever he goes, he has a large ruddy red camping backpack on his back that holds items for a small pot, a small tent, bowls, utensils, rations, extra clothes, hygiene equipment, rope, and other such items used for a Pokemon Journey that isn't just survival.
Partner Pokémon: Shiny Haunter
Other Pokémon: Munna, Shedinja
Future Pokemon: Drifloon (but not for fighting), Misdreavus (more as a pet and won't be fighting), Duskull, Spiritomb, and Snorunt
Occupation: Ghost-Type Specialist and Trainer
Other: Reggie, as he would prefer anyone call him (even in a business casual setting), was born in Hearthome City, Sinnoh before being taken to Opelucid City, Unova to live out the rest of his childhood. He desperately wanted to go on an adventure and dreamed of a chance for his parents to be brave enough to send him out. While his childhood was peaceful and filled with teachings of both history of the Pokemon World, the different region's histories, learning of myths and legends, as well as having some close encounters that would mark him as a Medium for the rest of his life, he wanted to go outside and explore. Have an adventure. Have some fun. His parents wanted him to grow up the least sheltered as possible, but soon regretted it as he would constantly talk about going on adventures and defeating strong opponents. Most of the tournaments he watched on the television and his actions mirroring that of the Pokemon were enough to possibly make his mother faint if it weren't for her more difficult journeys as an up-and-coming Pokemon Trainer and finding her son's rambunctious hijinks endearing.


His father was basically as close as you can get to an aristocrat. He had lots of money and did his best to make sure his family lived comfortably. He never flaunted it, but instead flaunted his fashion sense and exuberant energy that his son emulated and turned the dial up to 11. Once Reggie was ten, he thought about which Pokemon he wanted. His favorite was by far a Gastly, but it wasn't a Starter Pokemon. Not having the foresight to see this sooner, he lost his motivation to go on a journey and began to focus solely on his academic life. He was the only one in his class to not have a Pokemon partner that was truly his, not just a Mimikyu or a Polteageist from his parents. Finally, when he was seventeen (and after his parents saved up as much as they could), they bought Reggie his first Pokemon. A Shiny Gastly. The boy was so ecstatic. His parents didn't need to get him a Shiny Gastly, but they felt bad that their son didn't get his favorite Pokemon when he was ten, so they made up for it by saving enough to buy him a special one. Reggie sent his sights in his home region, Unova, to settle on an adventure. He was five badges in, but decided that Sinnoh was more fun and that's where he went.

If you want me to have Reggie's Haunter be a Gastly, I can do that :3

Name: Adolphian Richter.

Age: 23

Gender: Male.

Personality: Adolphian is outwardly dark and talks about 'dark' subjects such as death and the bleakness of the unknown, and while he tries his best to keep an 'emo' appearance, while also being highly intelligent. However, to those he cares about, he's rather protective and kind to, while still maintaining a sharp edge.

Physical Appearance: Adolphian typically is seen wearing a spiked collar and dark grey lab coat with purple shirt underneath a black leather jacket with studs, as well as having a black visor with greenish purple viewing screen. He also carries around a small stun laser blaster on his hip, and carries a laptop bag-like carrier, which seems to hold more space on the inside than what appears on the inside. He also has dark brown hair, pale skin without a tan, and eyes that are a swirl of purple and one of an array of colours, the given colour will change based on mood, such as a dark purple for fear. Finally, he has black leather trousers with a few chains and studs by the waist, as well as grey boots.

Clothing: As above.

Partner Pokémon: Evilane, the Leafeon. Moveset varies depending on scenario, as due to her cybernetics, she is capable of a variety of abilities, but is slightly lower in strength to a regular Leafeon.

Other Pokémon: Flare, the Vulpix, and Blitzkriegler, the Shinx.

Occupation: Pokemon Researcher/NanoCorp Head Admin.

Other: Adolphian can talk to Pokémon, much like N! And contrary to natural belief, it's natural, not due to his cybernetics! Though his Cybernetics do allow him to speak in multiple other languages.

Name: Jett Wright
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Personality: Being confident and creative are good traits, but they pair bad with his lack of sense of boundaries. Whereas leaning more into the "good alignment" and having a will to do good, Jett also has a mischievous and childish personality that often pushes him to worse things out over making a prank that he perceives as harmless (Even when they're clearly not). Men, women and children alike are equally as vulnerable to be the victims of his misdeeds.

Jett also lacks of a sense of direction. Often moved just for what he feels is good at the time, reason why he hasn’t moved yet from his city, as he finds the prospect of playing around funnier than going into a journey, despite having a liking towards Pokémon Battling and Pokémon Contests alike.

His most redeemable trait, however, is his love towards his Pokémon team, who he feels are the only ones who truly understand him after his siblings went into their respective journeys several years ago. Also, as paradoxical as it might sound at first, he's prompt to feel guilty over wronging other when he realizes that might have gone to far in that particular instance, at least in his point of view.
Physical Appearance: Jett has a pale skin and dark eyes with some bags that he would often mark in some of his pranks. Most of his messy hair is contained in his hat. He heights 5'6" and has a thin complexity.
Clothing: He wears a military camouflage-themed shirt and pants that match with Croagunk's Safari-ball, having an Skorupi keychain hanging in his pants. He wears swamp shoes and a black cap that cover most of his hair.
Partner Pokémon: Croagunk
Other Pokémon: Murkrow
Occupation: "The best prankster of Sinnoh". Pokémon Trainer. Pokémon Coordinator.
Other: Jett's personality finds it's origins in his quality times with his elder siblings, who would often play heavy pranks on him; instead of growing a resentful relationship, Jett grew loving his sibling as much as he could and saw this behavior as something fairly normal among people or at the very least finding some sort of partnership on it.

Jett was barely nine-years old when he caught his first Pokémon during a vacation in the Safari Zone. That being a Croagunk and the only Pokémon he managed to catch with his thirty Safari-balls before the time ran out. Since then, Croagunk became Jett's Ace and his might partner in everything he would do.

Murkrow was a Pokémon injured by the family's Glameow. Though they managed to stop the fight, Jett found himself forced to catch Murkrow to avoid the conflict from scaling any further and to give it proper treatment. While it took it's time, Murkrow and Jet eventually developed a friendship by finding over their similarities on their prankster nature.

Other than that, Jett also has a liking for Contest, often making use of his creativity to appeal the public, having already won the contest that takes on his city twice.

{See below for personality chart}
https://www.16personalities.com/personality-types (Personality Types | 16Personalities)

Physical Appearance: Slightly above average in height, with a moderately athletic build and fair, even skin.
Burgundy hair worn in short, lightly combed spikes that fell forward.
His charcoal eyes are large and inviting in appearance- though this is almost always hidden behind a slightly skeptical looking furrowed brow.
Clothing: He wears a collared, black and white jacket with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms. Underneath said jacket is a simple, dark-purple t-shirt. His legs are covered by a set of standard, well-made, charcoal jeans. His feet are protected by a set of shoes that seem to represent a perfect mesh of his above clothing; consisting of black, slip resistant sneakers with white trim and purple etching.
He carries a moderately sized, dark brown duffel bag slung over his right arm.

Partner Pokémon: Grendel the Teddiursa
Other Pokémon: N/A
Occupation: Amateur Engineer, Professional Tinkerer.

Other: Q was lucky to say he had a relatively privileged life growing up. His father was a technical engineer who did repairs on Olivine City’s Lighthouse, while his mother managed a Pokémon Food factory near the outskirts of Olivine. Overall, the Wilder household was known for being a hard-working, bright-minded family- and Q was no exception to this.

By age two, he was a master at slipping out/over/around baby gates and cribs.
By five, he’d figured out how to work the breaker box, so he could watch television while grounded.
By age seven, he figured out how to use laser lights to interfere with his teachers projector remotely.

Having taken notice of his sons ‘crafty’ nature, Mr. Wilder decided to start teaching his son everything he knew about engineering, hoping that giving his boy a form of creative outlet would guide his mind. What’s more, he gifted his son a Teddiursa as a friend who could help him while working. Little did Mr. Wilder realize he would be setting his son up for the rest of his life.

The young man spent his next few years learning under the guidance of his father, all the while tinkering with small projects here and there.
His first truly successful project had only just recently been completed, and was made specifically for his trip to Sinnoh.


He calls it the X-Gear, his combination of Unova’s Xtransceiver and Johto’s Pokegear. It’s essentially an Xtransceiver with an additional flip-screen.
As one might expect, it has all the functions of a Pokegear and an Xtransceiver, with the addition of a flashlight function simply because he had the extra space.

Name: Oliver 'Olli' Buckner
Age: 14 3/4
Gender: Male (FAB, Transgender)
Personality: The first thing assumed of Oliver is his gender, which makes him uncomfortable in most cases. Though that aside he is a very kind and gentle soul; he's observant and loving as well. Amazingly he enjoys being eyed and being seen as different and weird, it makes him feel special.
Physical Appearance: Standing at 5”6, he is pale and lanky yet athletic as well. He has bright blue eyes and black hair that is said to have always been long like bangs; sometimes it covers his eyes. He has some freckles upon his face and has a pale pink scar across his wrist. A frown usually seen on his face.

Partner Pokémon: Shrimp The Scyther
Other Pokémon: Pop The Drifloon
Occupation: A Doodler and Pokèmon trainer
Other: None

Name: Koshima 'Ko' Tararta
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Personality: Quick thinking, overly expressive and definitely a drama club kid to the core. Koshima, or Ko as she likes to be called, never hesitates to make her move when an opportunity arises. As a result of this she's always came off as rude and slightly pushy when she really just wants to let a bunch of steam off via being so fast paced and active. But hey, according to her a Coordinator's gotta keep himself, herself or themself always primed to put on a show.
Physical Appearance: Standing at around 5'4, Ko is fairly average both height and weight wise. Her skin is rather dark with a somewhat square shaped birthmark on her right cheek that's significantly brighter then the rest of her skin. Her eyes are naturally a rather bright amber and her shoulder length hair is dyed a deep purple with some lighter purple streaks in it.
Clothing: Ko sees no reason to skip on looking great. She wears a black tank top with a vibrant purple and pink hoodie on top of it (the top half is purple and the lower half is pink). Grey jeans accompany the look as well as a pair of hot pink ankle high boots, and she's got a galaxy patterned backpack to complete the mix. The 'key' to her look as she calls it is her treasured beanie that's pretty much the same colour as the purple on her hoodie and Ko takes immense pride in keeping herself in top shape.
Partner Pokémon: Shin, a Snivy from her home region of Unova. Final moveset shall be Leaf Storm, Protect, Glare and Energy Ball.
Other Pokémon: Back at home Ko owns a Palpitoad nicknamed Splodge and an Emolga named Jet. Neither of them shall join her journey. As for ones that WILL join her....
Occupation: Contest Coordinator
Other: The Pokemon intentionally have a few... weak moves because of Ko's Coordinator status. Attacks aren't everything you know! And I will edit anything upon request if I accidentally goofed up a bit.

Name: Kura
Age: 14
Gender: Male

Personality: Kura is a crazy looking child, having grown up in the Sinnoh's underground. They are rambunctious and addicted to danger. They are twitchy, and can't sit still, usually looking around hastily or shuffling about like some deranged imp. Kura has a hankering for sweets and foods of all kinds, their nose often stronger than their brain. They are a bit dimwitted, but that mainly comes with not knowing much about the world above them.

This fact is balanced out by their unusual abilities. Due to growing up in the underground, they are extremely nimble, a wild child. Swift and even ready to fight other Pokémon himself, he's practically a wild Pokémon! However, this time in the Underground came with a cost: his eyes. His eyes are adjusted to darkness, thus is never seen without his custom crystal goggles, which are firmly fastened to his head. The crystals used are made with moon and fire stones primarily, allowing him to see in the daytime as if it were night without harming his eyes.

Physical Appearance/Clothing: 4'4 Tall and skinny, Kura is covered in a patched up hoodie that always has it's hood up, covering his long black unkept hair. There seemed to be many useless zippers all over this black hoodie, along with two 'ear' like spikes protruding up on either side of the hood, and has long baggy sleeves. His specialty goggles are always attached to him, a sight to see in the dark, covered in glittering fine cut gems.

His long sleeves cover up his pale hands, and his dark grey baggy pants are usually covered in dirt and dust from shuffling along. It's also rare to see these pants not stuffed with some kind of emergency rations that are used frivolously.

He also has a brown bag behind him, which always has cool rocks, stones, food, and most importantly: items to use to keep people off his trail in case they try to stop him from stealing food.

Partner Pokémon: Sableye
Other Pokémon: N/A
Occupation: Hermit

Other: As an infant, he was abandoned in the underground and left for nature to claim. However, fate had other plans. The wild Pokémon from the underground took care of him, more specifically a rather motherly Onix.

She nurtured him growing up with berries that grew naturally and underground springs. And as he began to grow up, he met Sableye, another Pokémon under Onix's care. And soon developed a friendship with him alongside a love for crystals. They shared this obsession, albeit whenever Kura tried to collect something, Sableye would find a way to eat it behind his back somehow.

Entering his pre-teens, he discovered the world above, and instantly grew curious. After eating a poffin left behind by a spelunker to the underground, he fell in love with this world. But when he tried to go up- the light was blinding. So Sableye and him had an idea. After several rough drafts; the crystal goggles were made! This allowed him to go up to the surface and explore and devour all the delicious treats that were unfortunate enough to come his way!

Name: Zephyr
Age: 13 yo.
Gender: Male
Personality: Zephyr is a very friendly, kind and really confident and open about his feelings. However, he tends to overdramatize his feelings whenever he’s angry or really sad. He’s very optimistic most of the time so doesn’t get discouraged very easily, but if you make him angry, OH HE’LL BE ANGRY. Okay, in all seriousness, He has a few goals he wants to achieve, He wants to take over for his dad when he retires in the Flying Taxi business. And be the best driver of all time, Just like his dad. He also wants to help more introverted people develop more confident personalities. For example his Rookidee who’s terrified of battling. He wants to help his Rookidee get over that fear and be a skilled fighter. Heck, maybe it’ll evolve one day and help with his Foying Taxi dream. Who knows?
Physical Appearance: He’s about 5’6 in terms of height, he has like, lightish dark skin if that makes sense??? He has fair, and pale blue eyes. Plus, he has the most White hair you’ll EVER see on a person. He had dyed it White, ( He originally had Black hair. )
Clothing: He wears a Pale Blue Beanie with a picture of a Corviknight on it. He wears a Pilot outfit, like the Pilots in Gen 5 and sports fancy Black boots. He also wears a cute lil Pale Blue scarf. It’s a strange Mash-up of clothes, but he doesn’t care much about that.
Partner Pokémon: Rookidee
Other Pokémon: None at the moment.
Occupation: ( In training to be a Pilot. )

Name: Ryuji "Ryu" Shibata
Age: 14
Gender: Male

Personality: Ryu takes the phrase "confidence is key" and at first takes it little bit it too literal, and then he just cranks it all the way up to 11. He's insanely confident in his abilities as a Pokemon Trainer despite being somewhat of a newbie, and he really can't stand the thought of losing, no matter what activity he's partaking in. So, no surprise, Ryu is pretty competitive when it comes to...anything, actually. Ryu's confidence often strikes people as pure arrogance more then anything else, and you can't really fault anyone seeing it that way; after all, if his head was any bigger it'd probably explode. It should also be mentioned that he is very impatient, and often acts only on impulse, rarely ever thinking be saying or doing anything. And to be blunt about just one last thing, his people skills could really use some fine-tuning. Essentially he's not very good at talking to others, let alone making friends, as a majority of people are put off by his attitude.

Despite such flaws, Ryu is still a good kid at heart. Although he is a massive loudmouth, and his ego may be a bit too inflated for his own good, he still cares deeply for his team, and has a clear, burning passion for training Pokemon, he just doesn't exactly go the right way about expressing that passion

Physical Appearance:
Ryu has a pretty fair complexion to pair up with his fairly fit/athletic build, whilst scaling in at an average height for his age, him being 5'6. He has a head of platinum heh blonde locks, and keeps in a spiky, almost windswept style (Think Soul from Soul Eater), while his eyes are splashed with a maroon colouring.
Clothing: As most should be, Ryu is willing to wear pretty much any outfit, just as long as it suits their current weather. However, he still does have his preferred styles, and outfits he wears much more than others. The getup you'll see him sporting a majority of the time consists of: A blue CERULEAN to be specific short-sleeved hoodie (the pouch and strings are white), Navy blue pants, Red running shoes, A grey cross-body bag (in which he stores his items), and last but certainly not least "the official pokemon league headband", which has a red and blue colour palette; despite it being a headband, Ryu actually doesn't really wear it like one all that often, he instead opts to just tie it around his right wrist instead, choosing to wear it as an actual headband whenever he gets into a serious battle.

Partner Pokemon:
Treecko (M)

Personality:
Treecko is very chill and laid back, if only just a little bit smug at times. As the stark contrast to his trainer/partner, Treecko often finds himself having keep Ryu in check, and makes sure to at least try and stop him from doing something stupid; with a quick thwack of it's tail usually being enough to get the message across.
Moves: Bullet Seed, Quick Attack, Brick Break, Double Team
Other:
Treecko was the Pokemon that Ryu chose to be his starter back at Prof. Birch's lab in Littleroot Town, thus making him Ryu's very first Pokemon.

Other Pokemon: Master of the Drunken Fist Spinda (M)

Personality: Spinda is just a little bundle of joy, and mischief. And surprisingly enough...it's a bit of a powerhouse. When outside of battle, Spinda is just a happy, fun-loving trickster; always prancing around, whilst being completely unaware of it's surroundings, and almost always leaving a trail of destruction and chaos in it's wake. However, it just so turns out that Spinda's chaotic tendencies really work in it's favour when it comes to battling. It's unpredictable, almost sporadic, movements can make it a real tough opponent for any Pokemon to deal with
Moves: Dizzy Punch, Body Slam, Teeter Dance, Sucker Punch

Other: Although it was the first Pokemon Ryu ever "caught", he had actually never intended to do so, it was all a complete mistake. In fact, Spinda actually managed to capture itself. First encountering Ryu when it one day just decided to steal a few of his pokeballs. Little did he know that from that day onward, he and that Spinda would be stuck with each other. After it hid away with the all the pokeballs it nabbed, Spinda started messing around with them a little, eventually noticing the little button in the centre. Intrigued by this button, it decided to quickly press it, before being engulfed in a red light, and then sealed inside of the ball. And after just a few shakes of the ball, Spinda was officially Ryu's first "capture".

Future Team: Sceptile, Spinda, Floatzel, Gliscor, Lucario, Arcanine (May have him catch some more and rotate the team every now 'n again if that's okay. But either ways this'll be the main team)

Occupation: Pokemon Trainer, Adventurer

Other: Ryu was born and raised in Slateport City, which obviously means he is native to the Hoenn region. Ryu's canine teeth appear to much more pronounced than the average person's, and they appear to be more like fangs than anything.

~Inactive list...~

Name: Spencer Johannes
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Personality: Spencer is modest and calculated. He means well, but often gets caught up in his own thoughts instead of reacting. His vast reserves of empathy are usually cloaked behind a stable and... well, more boring exterior. He is often caught talking to himself.

Clothing: Spencer wears a brown waxed cotton jacket with a plaid inside. Following that is a standard, black leather belt and blue denim jeans. His shoes? Rather worn out and cheap sneakers, clearly that way from previous adventures.
Partner Pokémon: A Mothim, without a nickname, is his partner Pokemon. He caught it himself just outside of his hometown as a Burmy. Very weak at first, upon its evolution into Mothim, it proved to be more useful than previously anticipated.

Other: N/A

Name: Aria Gunnhilldr

Aside from her happy-go-lucky attitude, Aria is a bit confused at times, often leading to her in places she doesn't know, with Alpha, her Happiny getting her back on track. (also the reason for the name)

Physical Appearance: Medium neck length white dyed hair paired with two intimidating silver eyes, both her eyes and hair contrasting to her dark skin. She stands at 5'1 so she's on the shorter side, she's a bit conscious of her height, she tries to always smile, but her eyebrows really don't help her, since they always make her look angry.

Clothing: She wears yellow sneakers paired with pink skirt and finally a yellow sweater with the picture of a Happiny on it, so it makes her slightly more approachable.

Partner Pokémon: Alpha, the Happiny

Other Pokémon: None (yet)

Occupation: Pokemon trainer

Other: Although Aria doesn't mind travelling alone, she likes the company of others very much (also probably just an excuse, so she doesn't get lost again)

Name: Ezekiel "Zeke" Jackson
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Personality: A bit of a hyperactive one to say the very least, Zeke is one who takes to life with boundless passion & excitement and treats everything as a competition; no matter how minor one thing may be. Often is an example of "leap before you look" as he has a tendency to rush into situations without thinking every detail over for better and for worse. Wears his heart on his sleeve, as while he can be a bit too blunt at times and a bit of a handful, is genuine in every aspect and a very supportive and encouraging one if he grows to like whatever person or Pokemon he may bump into. Has a competitive streak stemming from bouts with his twin sister but is a fair sport taking defeat on the chin with gusto in spite of it.
Physical Appearance: A young man with fair skin, blue eyes and short spikey blonde hair . Is of average build for his edge if not a touch slender with some deceptive athleticism; though is a touch short for his height.
Clothing: Wears a black top with a dark blue open jacket and a pair of black pants complete with a pair of blue tennis shoes with white laces. Also wears a golden locket around his neck that seems to have a slight engraving of a heart on the outside.

Partner Pokémon: Lightning (Luxio)
Other Pokémon: Egg (Gible)
Occupation: Pokemon Trainer
Other: Is from Sunyshore City, Sinnoh. His twin sister Elizabeth "Eliza" is also a trainer currently in Kalos and his mother a retired Coordinator named Emelia "Lily" but now prideful baker.

Alright my transferred bio for Zeke's comeback. Hope everything checks out.
 
There we go!

Name: Victoria Melis
Age: 17 (nearing 18 )
Gender: Female
Personality: Due to being raised in a rich family, Victoria does show some traits that a stereotypical rich person would have, although it's not very often. Even though she tries to be more honest with herself, she is not one to admit or express her feelings so easily at times. Once she puts her mind towards something, she usually doesn't back down or give up on it so easily. She can get overconfident at times and tends to beat herself up whenever it leads her to failure.
Physical Appearance: Victoria has somewhat light skin, light brown eyes, and short light blonde hair (the bob hairstyle from the XY games with bangs).
Clothing: She wears a white short-sleeved shirt with a faded floral pattern, grey skirt, black high-knee stockings, black flats, and a black fedora with a white band. She also has an expensive small black backpack.
Partner Pokémon: None yet. (A Piplup soon.)
Other Pokémon: All of her other Pokémon are back in Kalos.
Occupation: Pokémon Trainer
Likes: Pokémon, battling, and traveling.
Dislikes: Very dark places, but she tends to try hiding her fear from others.
Other: She traveled through Kalos, Unova, Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto, acquiring gym badges and competing in their respective Pokémon Leagues. She decided to travel to Sinnoh solo this time, not bringing any of her past Pokémon and starting from the very ground up. She did this as a way to test how much she's grown as a trainer.

Name: Tony Mercer
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Personality: Despite his gloomy appearance and stoic expression, Tony is surprisingly kinder than one would expect, never afraid to ask if anyone needs help and is no stranger to smiling despite how rarely he shows his emotions. If anyone is rude to him, he won't hesitate to talk back. He loves Pokemon with a strong passion and wouldn't hesitate to help them out if needed, this love is strong enough for him to loathe trainers who mistreat their Pokemon or simply see them as tools... this however isn't as strong as his hatred for losing as he views it as humiliation rather than a 'lesson' and is known to be rather cruel when angry. The most likely time someone will see Tony smile is during a heated Pokemon battle. Some people say Tony used to be a much more cheerful person in the past, but 'something' in his past changed him forever.
Physical Appearance: At first glace, Tony looks like a Gothic type of person, standing at 5' 11" with his extremely Pale skin regardless of how often he goes outdoors along with extremely dark Blond short, somewhat messy hair and almost foggy ocean Blue eyes. His body figure looks slim with a decent amount of fitness.
Clothing: His attire consists of a White t shirt underneath an ankle long closed jet black hooded coat (Much like this), dark Gray baggy pants and Black boots.
Partner Pokémon: Zorua (Female)
Other Pokémon: Noibat (Male)
Occupation: Pokemon Trainer
Other: N/A, backstory will be revealed sometime within the RP.
 
@BlueMew392 Since Victoria is there to claim her first pokémon, I'm assuming she's already scheduled to get her starter pokémon which means Rowan already knows her by name. Is this okay with you?

Sidenote... Does anybody have any Gym Leaders they'd like to control? I can control the gym leaders if nobody wants to, but figured id ask beforehand.

I’d be willing to play the role of a gym leader or two.
Though- might I suggest we try and bring in guest rpers who exclusively play gym leader roles when necessary?

Would allow some of the community to hop in on our rp from time to time, and keep all gym battles unbiased.

That could work if we can get someone that's willing to do so.

I'm guessing the gym leaders will have the same pokémon like in the game.
 
I'd assume that can be up to the individual RPer. Obviously whenever pokémon say their names, its their way of talking, and would naturally carry dialogue. For even more obvious reasons, people don't understand it, and again.. I'll leave this as optional.

As for me, I plan to make my pokémon's future speech carry meaning/mine will have dialogue.

I’ll be using names and implying what they say. That’s just me, though.
 
All three of these starters are gonna get taken by the way, right? Curious.

If one or two of them doesn't/didn't, I kinda thought maybe Jake could ask em to come with him and Sonny with the others so they aren't left behind, and whichever starter it is/was would basically become his then.

Just a backup idea in case one didn't get taken, but i'm sure they all did/were, right?
 
Only if players want one of the remaining starters. My question though... Does anybody here want a tirtwig or a chimchar. If nobody wants any of the remaining starters than I'd presume they we're given to some npc after the characters left.

Assuming there is a left over starter, I can't see why Rowan wouldn't want his assistant to train with it. After all Jake did assist him in raising him up to that moment. No problem. Its a nice backup idea if the other two aren't claimed.
 
Jake doesn't/wasn't initially supposed to have a Turtwig or Chimchar, like i said in the private chat his was gonna be Raboot, Chatot, Cranidos, Pachirisu, Buizel, Gliscor.

So I guess if I wanted to diversify by type, his best choice would be Turtwig, but i'll leave it to the others to get first pick.

I'm cool with Turtwig or Chimchar, but like I said, the others can get first pick
 
Wouldn't it be better to say that they got theirs from another set of starters then? At some other point? Just my thoughts though.

I'd hate to be that one starter who gets passed over, put with a new duo of starters, and passed over again

Again, just me though, i'm cool with whatever
 
Only thing I’ve got planned is a Horsea and a Houndour.

Everything else I’ll decide as I go.


Edit: Also- I’ve been working out some concepts for an enemy. Was thinking we could do something different than a normal evil organization. Some of the pre-existing groups are cool, but a lot are...clownish?

I was thinking we make a more genuine, adult group- perhaps loosely connected in some way to ex-Team Galactic, as they were one of the more successful organizations.

If youd like to hear the concept, lemme know. Though it wouldn’t be something enacted upon for awhile.

What's the protagonist goal with the evil team? Do they even have a motive/reason to go after them? I always find it odd that a preteen, hadn't even trained pokémon a full year beat an entire crime organization who probably have seasoned grunts that have been training for years maybe? I make fun of naruto plot armor, but pokémon plot armor?!?!

Jokes aside... How should the protagonists fare against the antagonist crime group? More specifically;

- How will they first hear about them? Do they run into them, no context? Maybe some grunts ambush the characters...

- Do you guys think the protagonists should late RP beat the entire organization, like the games? Feels like a classic thing to do... alternatively the story could be a lot more dark and gritty. The criminals could have guns. Red's charizard might be able to beat mewtwo, but Red isn't Neo from the matrix thus he cannot dodge bullets. Okay so nobody wants their protagonists getting shot... However I doubt real villains fight fair... I doubt group of grunts would have any problem tag teaming your characters. Thoughts?

I do like the ex team galactic idea, but they would need to be reinvented. New motives, new leader, and maybe a fresh start. Imagine the players run into 'team X' Who's team X? Oh... they are good guys... they wanna help you... The townsfolk have a lot of good things to say about them... You eventually run into team galactic, and maybe team X scares them off... Right after you fight and weaken them first?... For some reason, whenever you run into Team X or team Galactic, for some reason the other team is always nearby... Maybe Team X is secretly team plasma and those times you saw them fight each other, they were actually just acting... or maybe they splintered off and are their own brand of nasty, with their own nefarious goals... Thoughts?

I actually thought up this group with essentially all of your concerns in mind.

1. No direct goal in particular. The protagonist (us) will not be required by any means to go after the criminal group if they don’t want to be involved.
Trust me, I wouldn’t want some old lady telling me I can’t use my Bisharp to cut down a small tree until I deface an evil organization either.
Being involved in this type of situation is merely a matter of principles, coincidence, or cockiness.

2. As I said, I’d be happy to explain my idea. You started asking questions before I gave the actual evil-team pitch. Lol

~~~

Team Name: TBD
Mascot Pokémon: Gardevoir and Gallade family line.

Leader #1: Charon- He was the head scientist for team Galactic in Pokemon Platinum and Pokemon Generations. It’s hinted at they he is also likely the man credited with discovering Rotom at the Old Chateau.
Needless to say, he’s an incredibly selfish and manipulative man- but also incredibly intelligent and resourceful. Unfortunately for Charon, he was arrested by Looker, a detective in Sinnoh during the collapse of Team Galactic.
I wanna bring him back as an escaped convict working methodically from the shadows as the new team leader.
Team: Rotom, Gardevoir, Gallade, (Flying Pokémon?), (surfing Pokémon?), ?

Leader #2: I haven’t decided much about this individual yet. I know he’ll be an oc, and I know he’ll be young, talented, and naive.
He’ll have aided in Charon escaping from prison, and acts as the front man during tough encounters.
What’s more, he’s nowhere near as sharp as Charon, making him easy to manipulate.
Team: Gallade, Kirlia (Female), ?, ?

Group: Unlike most groups, which simply amass as many willing nobodies as possible to act like cannon fodder- this team will consist of a select group of 30 or 40 fairly well trained subordinates. Even if we were talking the weakest links of the team, you’d probably still need around to be around the 5th gym or so to even act as a threat to one of them.
Teams: The subordinates are given an aptitude test upon joining the group. After scoring, they’re given either a male Kirlia if the score was below 90%, or a female Kirlia if 90% or higher.
From here, they’re expected to build a team consisting of at least 3 reliably powerful Pokémon (counting Kirlia) before being permitted to do ‘field work’.

Current Activities: Much like the infamous Team Rocket, and many teams who followed, this group captures and/or steals rare and powerful Pokémon.
Though, this organization enacts a few more protocols than the previous groups, allowing them to successfully maintain their illegal activity without getting caught every other day.

For one, they rarely actually steal Pokémon from people. They typically work in groups of 3 or 4; locating incredibly powerful wild Pokémon. Working in tandem like this allows them to take down and capture Pokémon of nearly any level, a feat which they couldn’t achieve individually. It should also be noted that most subordinates are well-versed in double, triple, and even quadruple battles.

For two, if they steal Pokémon, it’ll only be in the scenario in which the trainer is inexperienced, the Pokémon is highly valued, and the circumstances are favorable.

And lastly, they don’t actually use the Pokémon they capture while on-duty. All Pokémon obtained while acting as a subordinate will be sent off to a far away facility where they will be polished up, packaged, and sold on the ‘Black Pokemarket’ like a product advertised online.

Naturally, once the capturing and marketing schemes had been worked out, this was an incredibly lucrative business.
From spoiled kids begging their wealthy parents for a rare or shiny pet Pokémon, to frustrated trainers simply looking for a quick way to increase their power- everyone was in the market for a cheap, rare Pokémon.

Goal: Despite how lucrative and well coordinated this whole ‘Black Pokémarket’ scheme was...money is not Charon’s ultimate goal. Money is merely a means of funding his work.
Charon has a secret. A dastardly plan he hopes to achieve using the black holes created by Gardevoir’s strong psychic abilities.
With these black holes, coupled with his brilliant technology, Charon will tear a hole in the fabric of reality- allowing him access to...


And that’s all I got.
