Prologue
(OoC: Long, but it somewhat explains what this RP is about.)
...."Pi-chu? Pichu-Pichu!"....
"Uh...what...?" Jay asked sleepily as he looked around trying to find the source of the noise. "Pi-chu!" cried a tiny, yellow Pokemon as it climbed onto his shoulder. As it placed its hand on his face, Jay gave out a huge yawn. Slightly dazed, he looked around to remember what he was doing. He was in front of a Lake. It was large and misty, and it seemed as though something from it had been calling him, as though it was all a dream.
Next to him was a small computer, plopped open on the ground. He moved over to it to check what was displaying on the screen. Several brightly colored waves danced across the monitor in a repetitive motion, which probably meant that nothing out of the ordinary could be found. He clicked on a small window, and as it enlarged, all he saw was nothing. Nothing but Dark Blue anyway.
As he stood up to gather his thoughts, the small Pokemon on his shoulder jumped off and rushed over to the Lake's shore, eagerly awaiting something as it ears propped up and it began to scan the lake, slowly turning its head. Jay had just remembered specifically what he had been doing, when a voice came from behind him. He turned around to see nothing but a thick forest, guarded by a row of trees. But as the voice grew louder, someone came into view; someone who was calling his name.
"Jay?" cried the voice as a young girl had emerged from the forest. "Ah, there you are," she said with a smile. "I was getting worried that you didn't call out. I almost thought a Gyarados might have caught you off-guard," she said jokingly. "Twig!" cried a small Pokemon in her arms. Jay smiled at her than looked at the Turtwig with her. The girl noticed this, and began to explain. "Would you believe this little guy followed me all the way into the forest? I didn't even notice until he tripped and fell behind me," she said with a nervous giggle. Altohugh the nervous giggling was suspicious, something like this has indeed happened before, especialy to Minnow. "So it followed you out of the lab and no one noticed?" He asked. Minnow didn't answer; she just placed her hand behind her head and smiled at him weakly. "You have a strange talent there, Minnow," he told her with a smile.
Jay returned to his computer as Minnow and her Turtwig approached the shore to greet Pichu. He checked the screen for anything that may have changed over the last hour, but all he found were the same waves, and that a few fish-like Pokemon had now occupied the Dark Blue video feed. "So what were you scanning for today?" Minnow asked. "I thought I'd save the best for last," he told her. "Over the past few days, I've scanned this Lake for any sort of Wave, but so far nothing's come up," he said disappointedly. "So then, I decided to equip Buizel with a Psychic Wave detector..." he paused for a moment. Minnow grew somewhat excited as she asked him what he had found. "It's strange, but the Psychic waves register slightly higher than all the other Type waves I've scanned for," he explained. "But this could attribute to the presence of Psychic Water Pokemon in this Lake."
"As I recall, there are only a few Water Pokemon that know Psychic moves or have any kind of Psychic energy," Minnow told him. "You really think we you've found it?" She asked. Jay searched for his bag and found it lying not too far form his computer. He scrounged around and took out a book. He opened it and searched through the pages as he found a Photo that he had glued there. It had been a Photo of some Ruins, and around it, were several notes, all with arrows pointing to the details of the photograph. On the photograph itself, one could see a stone tablet, and on it were three carved designs, they resembled something, but Jay wasn't sure what. With their long tails, small limbs and large heads, at least he was cetain they were some kind of Pokemon.
"Legend has it that Sinnoh's three major Lakes were the last place anyone had seen these three Pokemon," Jay told Minnow. "We're at Lake Verity right now." she said as she looked over at the Lake's horizon, blanketed in a mysterious layer of Mist. For a while, she just watched the hazy clouds roll across the Lake. "Have you ever gotten a strange feeling about this place?" she suddenly asked. Pichu, Turtwig and Jay all looked at her. Pichu was the first to nod, while Turtwig began to scan the lake itself. Jay had put some thought into it. "The Pokemon supposedly in this Lake was known as 'The Deity of Feelings' or at least that's what they translated," he told her. "Legend says that it taught humans how to feel sorrow, among other emotions," he explained. "Do you think a Pokemon is capable of that?" Minnow asked him. "In my interpretation, my guess is that this Pokemon had the power to manipulate emotions, and perhaps through this, numans eventually learned how to deal with such emotions, be they negative or positive," he said as he watched his computer screen. "For something to do that, it would have to be a powerful Psychic Pokemon," he concluded.
Minnow continued to watch the horizon, but she was suddenly broken out of her focus as a splash emerged from the calm waters. "Pichu?" the little yellow Pokemon squeaked as it tried to see what was going on. Jay approached the shores as well, seeing his Pokemon come into view as it swam towards them. "Had a good swim, Buizel?" he asked it. "Bui, Bui!" It replied ecstatically as it jumped out of the water and shook itself dry. Pichu and Turtwig laughed as they were caught in the downpour. Minnow noticed that Jay's Buizel had quite a few accessories on it. tied to its forehead was a small Camera, which directed what it saw into the video on Jay's computer. It also wore a strange looking belt ful of gadgets and lights, which she guessed was the Psychic wave detector.
As Jay removed the gadgets from it, Minnow asked if it saw anything in underwater. Although she may have had no idea what Buizel meant by going "Bui" his head shaking from side to side meant that he apparently didn't.
"Looks like we'll have to dive deeper if we want to catch the source of these Psychic waves," Jay said. At hearing this, Minnow suddenly spoke out. " Oh no you don't! Look, Buizel's probably tired from all the swimming," she pointed over to Buizel, but on the contrary it was flexing its arm energetically at Jay. A sudden growl from its stomach however, was all Minnow needed to seal the deal. "And it's hungry, too. I'm sure you all are," she said as she looked at each of the Pokemon and Jay. She quickly took Jay's computer and closed it, than dragged him by the arm. "You're going to come with me and have Breakfast before you all faint from hunger." Pichu was happy to hear that they were going to have breakfast and quickly took the camera Jay dropped and placed it in the bag. Buizel, too was eager to eat after a nice morning swim and helped gather the rest of Jay's things.
Jay managed to free himself from Minnow's hold and looked at his excited Pokemon. With a chuckle, he agreed. "All right, I guess we could use a break." He picked up his bag and took out two Pokeballs, with which he recalled his Pokemon. "Return, you two," he said as a red beam of light overcame both Pichu and Buizel, they suddenly vanished as the light returned to the Pokeballs in Jay's hands. "Come on, Turtwig, we need to get you back to the lab," Minnow called her friend happily. Turtwig ran over to her and jumped into her arms. "Twig!" It cried out as Minnow made her way through the Forest. Jay took a quick gance at the Lake before he followed her.

(OoC: And now, the RP itself. Remember the Basic rules and Guidelines.)
Professor Rowan's small Lab had been bustling with activity that morning. In his absence, his numerous aides seemed somewhat lost, despite that each and every one of them were highly knowledgeable in the basic protocol the Professor had instructed them before he left about a year ago. Perhaps it was the awkward silence that replaced the moments in which they could hear his voice, asking them questions in reards to the numerous reports and research work held there. Minnow found this a bit strange considering he had been gone for about a year already.
Minnow wandered around the hallway, observing the different doors that led to larger rooms in the facility. Occasionally, there would be an Aide or two rushing in and out and greeting her with a friendly smile. She continued to wander until she found the very room she was looking for.
As the doors whooshed open she walked inside, taking care to see if anyone was working at the moment. It would seem rude to suddenly come in just to see her good friend while all these people conducted important research. However, she found no one as she made her way to a table near the center of the room. There rested three red and white balls, which she knew contained Pokemon that were to be given to new trainers.
"So when are they coming?" asked a voice suddenly. Minnow looked behind her to see Jay walking in, holding two steaming cups of Coffee. On his shoulder, Pichu was munching on some Pokemon food. He offered her a cup as she continued to look at the three Poke Balls. "They should be here in a few minutes. This is pretty exciting," she said as she took a sip form her cup. Jay nodded in agreement. Although it had been so long since they themselves began their own journeys, they always enjoyed the nostalgia of seeing some budding trainers receive their very first Pokemon. It was fun seeing their reactions to this, and to know where they were planing to go from here.
But Jay's mind began to wander to something else. Seeing new trainers was a treat, but he wanted to focus on the reason he came to Sinnoh. Those Psychic waves he recorded this morning were definitely something. But because he wasn't as well-versed in Sinnoh legends as much as those of Kanto and Hoenn, he didn't really know how to respond if he ever did find what was hiding in Lake Verity. Needing assurance, he asked Minnow's opinion. "Hey, um, do you think we could really find something in the Lake?" Minnow looked at him, and for a while there was an awkward pause. This was totally random, Jay thought. Besides, Minnow didn't seem to care about this issue as much as he did. After all, Minnow's journey here was for different reasons.
"Well, humans have proven the existence of dozens of legendary Pokemon so far," she replied slowly. "I strongly believe this legend might be true as well." she finished with a smile, then she took a hue sip from her cup. In truth, she only said that to give him a confidence boost. After all, all the research thus far has led to a strong 'what if.'
As Jay swirled the remaining drops of coffee in his cup, the door behind them slid open.
