I can only imagine that I might be the only one starting a post off with a fight already about to happen here...

Let’s just hope that the little evil otter Pokémon doesn’t go destroying the town or anything.

@Pretty Pichu, yes I got it approved back last year by Stellar. It was put there to emphasis the death of his father Ry's rescue and to give Ry a reason to study mythology as he grew older, and also to inspire him to be selfless If you'd prefer, I can PM you the details of the approval. Don't worry about it being something that he brings up in conversation or something. It's kinda like his own personal secret.

HELLO!!! I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED AND I AM INTERESTED!!


Ry Burst​
Name: Ry Burst
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Birthplace/Hometown: Veilstone City, Sinnoh
Appearance
  • Height: 6'2"
  • Weight: 182 lbs
  • Hair Color/Length/Style: Ry has medium length shaggy hair that is reddish brown. It hangs loosely and is extremely messy.
  • Eye Color: He has deep emerald green eyes
  • Identifying Marks: Ry has a jagged crescent scar on his left shoulder and a small sharp scar under his right eye.
  • Musculature: He is a quite muscular young man, who is well fit and agile thanks to the last 9 years with physical training.
  • Clothing: The most important part of his wardrobe is a pendant. The trim is a silver color while the center holds a Key Stone. He keeps this hidden under his clothes and only reveals it off the odd chance he needs to Mega Evolve Jet, which isn’t very common. He wears clothes that are comfy. His torso normally is something along the lines of a white t-shirt. Over it is either a open red and white plaid button up shirt, or a red hoodie with white pockets, when it’s colder. He usually sticks to navy blue jeans, and red and white Converse All Star High Tops. His backpack is a one strapped green bag. He also has a pair of red goggles with tinted black lenses for dealing with intense heat or to keep things out of his eye. He also wears a brown trench-coat from time to time.
Personality: Ry is a goof ball who is full of energy. He cracks jokes and tries to keep everyone in a good mood. He loves to battle and is always up for a brawl. He is an extremely loyal friend and trainer, fully trusting his friends and his Pokémon. However with the upbeat attitude he was some signs of weakness. One of them is when someone insults his Pokémon or his friends. He gets very upset, and he defends those who were insulted. Something peculiar about him, is his overall ignorance involving some more social aspects. He doesn’t pick up on clues and hints very quickly, like someone having a crush on him or hating his guts. The way it seems is, is that if it doesn’t involve Pokémon, battling or cooking, he is quite oblivious in this subject. However if there is an argument, and he picks up on it, he tries to jump in as a moderator. He is somewhat of a budding Pokémon breeder, with his mom teaching him a lot as he grew up. However there are a lot of times, where he can seem childish. A note about him is he is older and now more experienced. He has a lot of faith in his abilities ad strengths, He is studying Pokemon Mythology in college now and he is a bit of a history buff too.
Strengths: He seems to have boundless energy, along with a great deal of optimism. He has grit and hates to give up. He is very loyal and will protect his friends to the best of his ability. He has quite a good potential for battling. He also is a good cook.
Flaws: He is quite ignorant at times, often not realizing what's going on, outside of Pokemon Battles. He’s hot headed and acts much on instinct. This can lead to problems when he doesn’t think things through.
Brief History:
Ry was born and raised in Veilstone City on October 17th. His mother was a breeder, and his father was a Police Officer and ex-trainer. However, Ry never learned about how he father was once a trainer until he was around 9. One night, James, Ry’s father received a call telling him that they needed him for a raid. The VPD (Veilstone Police Department) had received a tip that the remaining members of Team Galactic were in a warehouse, in the Northern sector of the city. His father left, and he didn’t know that Ry had sunk along, by hiding in the back of the air, because he wa curious to see his dad in action. By the time they arrived on scene, the police were about to begin the raid. Once they began, the majority of the police entered the building, while few were still outside. James was one of the many inside. Ry snuck inside a began look for his father. In the midst of the action, involving dozens of Pokemon battles, with Police officers versus Grunts, a poorly aimed attack hit a vat of chemicals, causing a major explosion. Ry was rescued by the Legendary Pokemon Latios as it had been released by its keeper right before the explosion. While escaping, a pipe slashed Ry’s shoulder giving him the crescent scar he has now. After this, Ry vowed to become a Pokemon Trainer to meet more Pokemon like Latios and help others. But to do so, he knew he needed to get stronger. So when he was 10, and officially old enough to be a trainer, he requested to train with the Veilstone Gym Leader Maylene. She planned to refuse, but he father convinced her to do it, as James and him were good friends. Also, she was getting to the point where having a pupil might not be a bad idea. So she gave him a Machop egg, and when it hatched, she would begin his training. About a week later, Professor Rowan passed through Veilstone and attracted quite a good amount of attention. Ry, who thought meeting a Professor would be a good idea, flocked to meet him. However he actually bumped into the man, while looking for him making both of them, drop their eggs into a bush. Rowan told Ry, that these were the eggs for some of the starter Pokemon that trainers near Sandgem town could receive. Ry told Row that his egg would hatch into a Machop, and it would help him train. However both people didn't know that there was a mix up and one of the eggs got switched with the Machop egg, when they went their separate ways When the egg hatched, the species whom it was shocked everyone. It was a Chimchar. Ry ignores that fact, and named him Fuego. Maylene contacted Professor Rowan, who was also shocked to find a baby Machop that came out of his egg. She told Ry not to get too attached to Fuego, but he did. But he time Rowan got there, he noticed their bond, and decided to let the boy keep Fuego. Giving up, Maylene began Ry’s training. Ry’s training was rough and he spent many hours working out his body, mind, bond with Fuego, and of course his battling ability. He learned from Maylene, whenever she was free, from other gym trainers, and of course from watching gym battles. He also spent any free time learning about Pokemon care, upkeep, species, cooking, and other important skills, from his mother. Ry worked hard during these five years and so did Fuego, achieving an evolution during this time, evolving into a Monferno. After his training, on his 15th birthday, he decided to travel the Sinnoh region and meet other Pokemon and take the gym challenge. He met some friends, whom he traveled with and met new pokemon. He challenged the Sinnoh League and made it to the top 16. Afterwards, he traveled the Kanto region and competed in that league. Again he lost, so he decided to head to Kalos and train with the Mega Evolution Guru. Afterwards, he took a short vacation to Alola, before he headed back to Sinnoh. Again, he challenged that league and lost. So he decided to travel up north for some more training, where he learned how to use Blast Burn and Frenzy Plant. After that he spent six months travelling before heading to Canalave City and applying for the the University there. he spent a year studying Pokemon Mythology and History, before taking a break tp take part in this tournament.
Family: Sarah Burst: Sarah is Ry’s mother and she is constantly on the sidelines supporting her son. She lives outside of Veilstone City, and take care of Ry’s Pokemon while he is away. Something important to also mention, is that she was once a great breeder, and taught Ry what she knows, during his training with Maylene
James Burst: James is Ry’s deceased father. James was once an officer for the Veilstone Police Force. His best friend was Maylene’s father, which was part of the reason, the young gym leader, agreed to tutor Ry, after James’ passing. His death was when there was a lab explosion in a Warehouse operated by a group of men who wanted to revive Team Galactic. James got a call to see what was going on, and Ry tagged along, which led to James’ death and Ry’s rescue by Latios. Also, his battle style, Battle Sync, is the same type Ry uses, and it isn’t very common

During a mix up with eggs, Ry’s first Pokemon, which was a Machop egg, got mixed up with Professor Rowan’s eggs he was taking to his lab in Sandgem Town. However Rowan ended up with the Machop egg and Ry ended up with he Chimchar egg. Time passed and when he eggs hatched everyone was surprised to see what they did. However when Rowan came to return the Machop, he noticed the bond between Ry and the Chimchar and he allowed th boy to keep him. The duo was then formed, and began tot train in the way of the fighting type Pokemon. During this training, Fuego evolved into a Monferno. Later, after Ry finished his training and went on a journey, he evolved while fighting the Canalave City Gym Leader Byron
Personality: Fuego is a loyal Pokemon and good friend. He is very similar personality to Ry, which may be because of the amount of time the two have shared, and the fact that Ry hatched Fuego from and egg.

Fuego is a loyal Pokemon, who like his trainer, forms rivalries with tough opponents, like Brief’s Druddigon, and Levi’s Cronus. However Fuego can be a bit hotheaded at times, when flustered. However he’s learned to control this through intense training. He’s Ry’s best friend.

Extra: Pokemon claimed March 26, 2018 at 10:47 PM
Notes: As for the Key Stone with him and Jet, It has been approved. But I do not plan on using it for this tournament. (In the manga it mentions how the user feels sick and weakened when without their Key stone, so Ry wouldn't be able to fight to the best of his ability is he didn't have it on his person). Also as you will see upon Jet's info is that he doesn't like Mega Evolving and Ry isn't someone to use it if Jet doesn't want to.

I'll have it finished by tomorrow, and I'm going to mentioned his team so people know what Pokemon I'm planning on using.

Fuego (Male Infernape)
Jet (Male Sceptile)
Pax (Male Pancham)
Splashy (Male Poliwrath)
Ventrex (Male Steelix)
Grace (Female Togekiss)

Reserves as
Sting (Male Beedrill)
Baxter (Male Hitmonchan)

As a quick note on the Pokemon I mentioned, I do have two Starter Pokemon (Don't murder me, and let me explain) who do have completely unique personalities and backstories that don't consist of me starting as being a 10 year old at Rowa'ns lab and getting a Treecko from Birch cause I was so kewl.

In that case, then you are approved. Although, when Sceptile is battling, he cannot have the Sceptilite on him. Other than that, you are approved :D HOORAY!! Also, just noticed you switched out "range of moves they avoid learning" to "favorite moves". I'm assuming they know every single move of their species can learn, barring event moves, and those are just their favorites to use.

Other than that, when everyone registers for the tournament, the battle will happen after the day that last someone registers. When we get to the point where the stage changes mid-battle, I would like for everyone to tell me, either privately or publicly, which Pokemon they are using, so I don't end up killing them with the water stage, if it ever happens to land on that.

Hmm... are we going to be registering soon, later or right now?

As a brief note, the boy in the RP is an NPC with a tiny impact on the RP.

The other thing I would have to ask is if the trainers are going to be on the battlefield also, since I’m pretty sure that I’d had innumerable cases of lil’ Oshawott attacking the other trainer and often forcing the said trainer to abandon said battle.
 
Merciless Medic

Later, once everyone makes it to Peril Cliffs and does the act of registering at the front desk. The trainers will be on little raised sections to protect them from the Pokemon, but some of the stages will cover them both and the referee, who will also be on a raised platform.

*Shadow Oshawott could be seen going into Hyper Mode and cutting through titanium with the blade from his scalchop while Castform changes into his rainy form after noticing that it is raining in his area*

Well... I can only hope that you know who does not go blowing the entire stadium or something...
 
Le Marsouin

Le Marsouin

I’m just going to have to hope that you know who can calm down soon since an NPC had the nerve to try to pick on him...

Oh and also, I might have the NPC discreetly follow my character to attempt to apologize to the Oshawott. (All I can hope is that it doesn’t end up like my first post...)

As a quick note, as I realized that Pokemon Centers and Pokemon Marts hardly exist in a region such as Almia. xD The Pokemon Center is a ways away from the dock. After you leave the dock, you'll be on the southeastern most corner of the town. There is a road that follows the complete length of the town. There are stairs that lead north and are the first stairs you see coming from the dock. These stairs lead to a large intersection with tons of buildings. These buildings can be a variety of things, but that is where the Pokemon Center and the Pokemon Mart are.

So begins the tale of that time Seven accidentally agreed to a date.

Edit: That is also very likely the last IC post from me for this evening. So good night and I'll be around tomorrow!

Wew boy I really hope this doesn't die before we get to the tournament.

I've never been in an RP that actually finished before dying, and with all the work we put into this one I really hope it lasts a while
 
Ninian

Ninian

I mean, as long as everyone makes a solid effort to post as often as they reasonably can, the RP shouldn't die. I've seen a lot of RPs to completion, it just takes people giving effort and not ditching at the first sign of trouble. :3 Even if you have to take a month break because everyone has finals, as long as everyone returns after it'll live.

Anyway, I have high hopes! :3c
 
Le Marsouin

Le Marsouin

Well... so I had you know who pull off the classic masked escape since the Garchomp kinda gave him a bit of a bad memory. (The one from his backstory in his character bio.)

Also, I might decide to have his trainer head over to said hills once everyone goes to sign up or a bit later possibly. (I might possibly reveal his location with a few vague clues if I must.)
 
Merciless Medic

Merciless Medic

Another side note, your trainer must be at the stadium by tomorrow morning at the latest, which is when they will get the last registrations going until 12 that day, where the registration will cut off, and there will be no more participants joining. Better head over there. You can make a mini time skip for your own character if you are done interacting with everyone and then you can wait until everyone else has caught up. Maybe make a post here and there interacting with your Pokemon for some character development (even though said character development might be minimal).

I'll have the ranger talk to Parker then, since she was the only one nearby. I'll auto her. Her expression could be from both, as she had seen Shadow Pokemon before. They aren't all that common, but for plot's sake I'll make her know about it because she was born in the Orre region during the events of Pokemon Colosseum.
