Private/Closed Annual Almia Tournament (Discussion)

[Merciless Medic]

Welcome to the Annual Almia Tournament​

In celebration of the Liberation of the Tower held North of Peril Cliffs of the Almia Region, the people of this peaceful region decided to make a tournament to allow humans and Pokémon from across the globe to come together and either participate in friendly, yet competitive battles or spectate from the stands in our specialized elliptical stadium. We have cameras that view every angle of the battlefield and will be displayed on the Jumbotron over the battlefield, so the audience can view the battle if they are at the top of the bleachers or just can’t see. We have concession stands outside of the tournament to help feed and refresh tournament goers, as well as having the busboys from these concession stands walk around the bleachers to give people their refreshments during the battles.

To get there, take a boat that docks at Pueltown, and then go North towards Altru Park. Once you make it to Altru Park, head West towards Union Road. There will be a pair of Pokémon Rangers that will guide you North towards Peril Cliffs, where there will be a gondola lift that takes you to the very top of Peril Cliffs. If you want to forego the lift, just know that the lift is faster, unless you take a Pokémon you can fly or climb the rocks with. From there, just keep heading North until you find the stadium. An alternative would be to just fly Northwest from Pueltown until you find the cliffs and the very large, hard-to-miss stadium. If you have been here before, you can ask a Pokémon of yours to Teleport to the top of Peril Cliffs (given that you’ve gone up there before). The host will be there at the front doors to greet you all and help set up the concession stands. He’ll also help you register at the front desk if you need it.

For those of you, who want to participate in the tournament, register at the front desk with the full team of Pokémon you’ll be using, including the Pokémon you’d want to switch in. Keep in mind that the first battle will be the qualification round, where you can only use one Pokémon. If you win, you can then compete in the actual tournament, where the next battles will be a 3v3 format. The Semifinals and Final battles will be a full format of 6v6. Under here will be the brackets available for the tournament.

There will be rooms for the participants to reside in, as well as refreshments in the tournament building, which is connected to the battle arena by a short, flexi-glass-covered hallway. The hallway will open up in the middle of the battle arena, which is where the battle participants will be expected to greet each other, offer some good sportsmanship, and then head off toward their side of the battleground.

Aside from residential rooms and the refreshment bar for both participants and viewers alike, there is also a gym to train up your Pokémon before the battles begin, a daycare for your younger Pokémon you decide to take with you, and a personal PokeMart and PokeCenter, as well as mock fields in the basement underneath the gym that are similar to the fields in the battle arena, which will change throughout the course of the battles held there by way of molecular hyper transmission only possible by the Psychic-Types who use this technique (and I mean the battle arena, not the mock fields underneath the gym. Those don’t change). To avoid bias in our Pokémon’s placement of obstacles, we don’t show them the placement of the Pokémon, nor when these trainers or Pokémon will battle, but are given a hologram to guide their ability, as well as knowing the location of the battlefield by heart to be able to change it so precisely. We encourage more evenly dispersed obstacles, but they might cause one side to be heavily or just slightly covered in more obstacles than the other side. If a Zoroark or some other Pokémon wants to change the layout of the battlefield, then they can, but the people who made the arena won’t be very keen on that. The possible different stages include:

Spoiler: “Stages”

1. A canyon with walls on both sides of the battlefield and the occasional stream
2. A rocky ground with rocks protruding from the ground
3. A frozen lake
4. A snow-covered plateau
5. A meadow with a few trees
6. A jungle
7. A forest
8. A dirt path
9. Some warm igneous rocks that steam when hit with water
10. A hard steely ground with metal objects of varying sizes and shapes strewn about the field
11. A normal piece of land with a Poke Ball symbol in the middle (the default)
12. A tank filled with water (only when there are Pokémon who can swim, and trainers will be required to answer this question about all of the Pokémon they’ll be bringing in)
13. A light green plain area with tall and large rocky pillars reaching to the sky that guide the air currents
14. A cave that encompasses the entire field, including the trainers, the referee, and several cameras with night vision (it gets a little dark in there)
15. A desert
16. The floor of a room with actual furniture
17. A swamp
18. A hard floor with generators and telephone poles
19. A stony floor with pillars on the sides
20. A meteorite that gives off a cosmic aura in a field of flowers
21. A rocky path with dragon monoliths and statues on the edges that give off a feeling of power
22. A rug with psychedelic patterns with floating objects around the area that can be moved by the Pokémon’s Psychic-Type Attacks/Moves; also may or may not have mirrors
23. A room that encompasses the entire field, including the trainers, the referee, and several cameras with night vision, and it has spooky decorations and objects Ghost-Types can possess to hide away from their opponent to strike
24. A darkened rough path with dark broken pillars and bushes and tunnels that allow Pokémon to hide and strike from just about anywhere, since there’s a whole lair of tunnels underneath the ground.

(If you want, you can add more by suggesting it to me)

Each stage will be decided randomly (i.e. by a random number generator; I will not change the placement of the stages in the list). The water stage will not be chosen if both of the participants Pokémon cannot swim. If the stages get destroyed, no worries! The stage can merely be reconstructed in another battle. Your Pokémon getting too wild on the battlefield and you’re afraid of them hurting the audience? Don’t worry! There is a special field/barrier protecting the audience (including the Jumbotron and cameras) from all attacks, similar to a permanent and electrically generated Protect.

Now, we got the introduction out of the way, here are the rules:

Spoiler: “Rules”

• Follow all PokeCharms' rules (You can find them here for the Pokémon RP Rules, and here for the Global Rules). I will not bother putting those rules down here, since I expect everyone to have read them and understand them, unless I need to make a point.
• That being said, ALL POSTS must be a PARAGRAPH long, consisting of SIX OR MORE SENTENCES! Please, don’t be lazy (Also, if I say lines, I mean sentences, just to make it less confusing for you if I do happen to say lines).
• I expect proper grammar and spelling. I don’t want the majority of your posts to be in chat speak (as that is also against the PokeCharms’ Global Rules). English is an actual language with actual mechanical syntax, grammar, and spelling. Please use it. I know we are humans, so errors may come up from time to time, but at least look over your post and edit it if you need to. It doesn’t hurt to click the Edit button (or if on Mobile or the window is too small, click on Tools, then on Edit) at the bottom of your post and change something. There will be an edited timestamp next to the timestamp of when you originally posted, so we will know you edited. Although, if you do edit something right after posting it, it won’t say.
• I know the Eeveelutions, Charizards and Greninjas are cool, but refrain from using such overly used Pokémon and be creative with your characters. The best characters I’ve seen are the ones with the rarely used Pokémon. Please, I beg of you, don’t use these overly used Pokémon. I also express great importance in using different Pokémon from your other fellow RPers. It’s okay if you have the same Pokémon, but I will not have five people own Lucarios. That’s just ridiculous. If you want a Pokémon with you that won’t participate in any of the battles, you must also give me a sheet of them.
• NO Mega Evolutions/Battle Bond. I don’t want to bug Stellarwind Elsydeon on the matter too much, and I don’t want an army of people bugging him about it either. I also don’t want anybody getting into a pissing match with another RPer on the discussion thread just because “my Mega Charizard X could’ve beaten your Dragonite”. I don’t care if you already got permission. I don’t want any of it.
• NO Z-Crystals. Your character can have Z-Crystals (since they are given to people who have beaten the trials in Alola), but you may not use them in battle.
• NO Fakemon.
• NO Legendaries. Same reasons as the Mega Evolutions, but replace Mega Charizard X with Rayquaza, and replace Dragonite with Comfey.
• NO Mary Sues/Gary Stus. If your character has a reason for having beaten the Elite Four or the Champion at the age of 10, give me a solid reason as to why your character is that powerful. Otherwise, older characters will have an easier time explaining as to where they got where they are. I want realistic characters with actual flaws and drawbacks, please. They can’t all be completely perfect, even adults are never perfect. I would much rather accept someone who has tried to beat the Elite Four and never could.
• I will allow ONE shiny Pokémon per RPer, but there has to be some effort in finding one to begin with. It could just be dumb luck, too, but I don’t want a whole lot of that around here.
• I allow swearing, but keep it reasonable.
• I allow some semblances of romance. Do not make your posts rated 18+ with this please. Keep it 13-15+.
• I do not condone the use or abuse of alcohol, but you can have your character drink it. Because of that, this RP will be set to ages 15+ for any RPer coming in. If you are younger than that, then please have discretion when partaking in this RP, since I’m not going to ask you how old you are (that breaches privacy), but please have the common sense to either RP with maturity regarding the subject or not RP at all.
• Please. PLAY FAIRLY! We are having fun in this RP. It isn’t all about winning. Don’t come here thinking this is a place to be super competitive and try your best to curb stomp everyone. That’s not how this game is played. Even though this is a competitive tournament, please be aware that no matter how good your character is, there will always be flaws, and you’ll just have to accept that. Be a good sport and lose if you need to. Swallow your pride if you have to. Talk it out with your opponent. Make a vague script of what should happen. Go on Showdown and use a Zap Cannon (50% accuracy) and bet on if it misses or hits. Do anything (not all of you are confined to following what everybody else says or does), just as long as you can both confirm to me about the process, the result and what you are planning to do and who should win, so I can oversee the match like an actual Dungeon Master (DM) from Dungeons and Dragons (D&D). If I see some kind of inexplicable BS and lies that don’t follow the guideline from the script or of what should happen, or if I see your Pokémon not becoming fatigued when they are not the type to have high stamina, I will call you out on it. I will be nice at first, and I have a lot of patience. Don’t test it, though.
• Please be good to each other in the discussion thread. Your characters can be mean to each other, but that shouldn’t reflect your reputation on this site, nor feelings towards others.
• If you spot something that is a little off in their post, whether it is a slight grammar/spelling error, continuity crisis, or something of the like, call them out on it, but do it nicely. Chances are, they were rushing and didn’t see it.
• If there are two RPers battling, please be active at least every other day. Interactions outside of the battle are good, and are actually wanted, but we need people to battle to keep the plot going. If you are coming in, you better be committed. If you don’t feel like you are able to join because of your schedule, then I’m deeply sorry. I know we have lives and they can inhibit us from going online and RPing. I’ll wait patiently until you come back, but don’t leave forever. If you are unable to keep RPing, always tell me. I will be bummed for sure, but if you feel like you can’t continue, then at least have your character resign or surrender from battle, or give me or your opponent permission to control your character as well as a short description of what should happen so we can keep the story going. If you aren’t able to put up a post every day or every other day, let me know. It will be greatly appreciated. It will be further appreciated if you give me a little schedule for your week or more in a conversation, but that is a little too generous and will never ask for that, as that is a little personal, unless you are completely fine with it.
• This will be an anime-style RP, so your Pokémon can learn all the moves from past generations and every way they can learn these moves, EXCEPT for Event Moves. Levels don’t exist, but you should still include the Game-Equivalent Level on your Pokémon Bio Sheet to get a feel for the baseline of how powerful your Pokémon are. Please make it realistic. A really old Eevee could have learned Focus Energy naturally (Level-Up in Gen I), but a very young Eevee (from Gen VII) might not be able to learn it naturally unless it was taught by that really old Eevee, mainly because after generations of breeding them, the Pokémon have lost or gained moves from changed habitats and the like. This isn’t needed, but I would like to see a range of moves they stay away from, whether they just don’t want to learn it, a phobia, or something else. I also don’t want to see a Pichu being somehow faster than an Arcanine. Just please, no.
• If you are stuck, use this site for help. It is a site I use and it is also way more accurate in their information than some other sites: Bulbapedia
• Remember, have fun! This is a more casual tournament, so be silly and creative with your attacks and all that, just don’t be so ridiculous that you break physics, and don’t force hits, bunny, or auto other people’s Pokémon and characters. If you have read everything, tell me the time of when you post your character sheet (so I can figure out if we will have time zones to contend with or anything).

I will be making a character, but I won’t expect him to make it past the Top 16, much less the Qualification Round. If there is anything I need to add, please let me know. Also, sorry for the extremely long rules list, but I just want to make sure everyone knows the reasoning behind everything.

I will allow people to come in and either play as the spectator or participant in the tournament battles, but I only feel comfortable having 8-10 people being the participants for the tournament battle, including myself. I’ll make a list of the RPers, who’ll have characters battling, but once the 8-10 spots get taken then they’re all taken, unless one of them leaves. If that happens, the spot gets reopened. If this happens and your character arrives in the middle of a tournament, then act like your character had already registered and is training or whatnot, and had won through battling with a bunch of random people. I will close admissions to being a participator in the tournament battles when we make it to the Top 8. Because there are 32 characters battling it out, there will be random trainers. You can control these NPCs if you’d like.

Also, give me a roleplay sample, so I know you have read the rules regarding how you should RP.

[Hydreigonborn]

Quick question before I make a bio, are we aloud to have a Battle-Bonded Pokemon?

 

[Merciless Medic]

Ahh, I completely forgot about that. Since Battle Bond needs to have admin permission, and I don't want to have a lot of that here (especially when a Battle-Bonded Pokemon is not a Greninja is technically a Fakemon), I will not allow it. XD Sorry for that.

 

[Hydreigonborn]

Ehh, I didn’t really expect it to be allowed.

*Axew hands a sample of his RPing skills beforehand after reading everything carefully*

Spoiler: RP SAMPLE

Evelyn made her way back to civilization while Aidan was curled in her sling. The little dragon Pokémon shook like falling dominoes, while resisting the urge to launch a pulse of draconic energy at the passing youngsters having a good session of laughter. The Axew continued to mewl in his trainer’s sling while looking away from his trainer’s frontal direction the moment when he heard some doors swiftly sliding open for his trainer to enter.

He emitted a brief groan towards his trainer when he caught the sight of the building’s orange roof before turning away. The walls in the building were a light shade of cloudy white to welcome all Pokémon of various shapes and sizes. A woman stood behind the counter while Evelyn slowly walked towards her.

“I’m sorry about what happened in the forest earlier, as my drone caught everything,” Aidan heard the woman stating while noticing her focusing her gaze down at his bandaged head.

“Oh, umm... don’t worry about that. It’s on the house, you should both get some rest. It’s starting to get a little late out there,” The woman added while Aidan noticed a Wigglytuff proudly standing beside her.

“Umm... okay I guess, are you sure though?” Evelyn asked while Aidan attempted to put an end to his tears as soon as possible.

“Yeah, this one’s on me... really, it is. Wigglytuff will show you your room. Normally there’s some people that often stay here, but it looks like it might be just the two of you here right now,” The woman replied while the Wigglytuff gestured Evelyn with a waving signal towards a door behind the counter guarding the hallway. Evelyn gave a nod of approval while Aidan attempted to avoid any sort of eye contact with the Wigglytuff.

Once Evelyn reached her room the Wigglytuff led her to, the Wigglytuff held a clipboard towards her, with the paper reading:

This will be your room for the night and the following nights if you choose to stay for more than one day. There are two queen sized beds on opposite sides, two nightstands with their own lamps beside each bed, a desk with several drawers, a closet with a small safe box and a washroom with a special lock on the middle door that allows privacy between the showering area and the facilities.

Please direct all questions to any nurse in the building or the supervisor. We hope you your stay at the Magenta Pokémon Center!

Evelyn nodded at the Wigglytuff, as she went inside her room while Aidan heard the pink blob Pokémon walking back to the counter. The little dragon Pokémon took in a series of deep breaths, followed by a spate of sniffles when he was gently placed down on the bed farthest from the room’s entryway.

“Aidan, look at me. I am going to shower right now, okay?” Aidan heard his trainer declaring with a clear tone.

It took a few seconds for Aidan to realize what it would mean once his trainer would leave for the washroom. It was not long before the Axew would eurpt in a bombardment of tears while having his trainer soon finding him clinging onto her leg as if it would be the last moment he would ever see her.

“Aidan, listen... I have to take a shower right now. I’m sorry to say this, but you can’t exactly be with me while I’m all nude and washing myself, okay?” Evelyn added while attempting to keep Aidan still in her arms.

“I am going to be in the bathroom for ten minutes. I am not going to leave you or anything, okay?” Evelyn calmly continued while attempting to place the Axew back on the bed.

The Axew refused to get off of his trainer’s arms like a neodymium magnet deeply attracted to another, as she thought, “Ugh... I guess my dad wasn’t exactly kidding when he said that the little one doesn’t like being alone. Should I take him with me or what? I mean, I could... but I would have to find a place to set him down. At least he’s still and just plays with his rattle if he’s not too worried about anything.”

I suppose I have been summoned again, and I could use a little break from my lovely Todoclor for an RP or two.

I would like to Axew a question before signing up.

So, I was wondering if I could use shadow Pokémon for the RP since they are an official part of Pokémon (though not a lot of people seem to know about this), and it would also add a unique experience to battling and such.

 

[Hydreigonborn]

Does my RP sample have to be from Pokemon based RP?

 

[Merciless Medic]

It could be from any RP.

I do like the idea of Shadow Pokemon being used. Just a reminder that Shadow Pokemon are extremely aggressive and will most likely be looked down upon when used in such a setting as this. The Liberation of the Tower celebration is a ceremony that occurred after the events of Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, where the Pokemon that were once used to hurt other humans by way of devices used to make them aggressive and in pain. Since this is a thing, if you release your Shadow Pokemon, someone is going to notice its erratic behavior, and they won't be happy, since it will cause them to think that Shadow Pokemon are very similar to the hostile Pokemon they had to deal with from the origins of the ceremony that celebrates the freedom and prosperity between people and Pokemon. Just giving you a heads up, since that might happen.

hannibal bustin thru

i'd love to participate in this rp, but i'm a little bit busy atm. if its okay, could you hold a slot for me under the list of people battling? ill try and get a sheet up asap, so expect one at least within an hour or two. another question: how far are we allowed to include Canon Characters? all i was doing was planning on putting one under the Relationship section, but if that's not allowed, ill scrap it. i mean at this point everyone prob already knows who i wanna write there but still.

 

[Hydreigonborn]

I should give little context to my sample. One country blantantly attacks another, Elizabeth and her older brother Kiran are children of a third country’s king. Elizabeth figures out that her brother is going to border of all three countries to rally the troops of their country to go to war.

It is from a Fire Emblem RP. I mention basara in it couple times. A Basara is a class from Fire Emblem that wields magic and lances.

Spoiler: RP Sample

Elizabeth left abruptly after Kiran told her his plan. The basara ran up the long winding staircase up to her wing of the castle. “Princess, what are you doing?” a voice from behind asked. She stopped dead in her tracks. She knew that voice, it was the voice of her Retainer, Ashei. Ashei was childhood friend of hers. He wasn’t a strong warrior, good servant, or a competent person in general, so Othello was hesitant on letting Ashei be his only daughter’s retainer.


“I’m just preparing to go to festival in a town to southern border with few friends,” Elizabeth said, her face was racked with guilt for having just blatantly lied to Ashei’s face.


“Oh, what festival?” Ashei proded. His brow furrowed in suspicion.


“Just a small festival that you’ve probably never heard of,” Elizabeth said, as she backed towards the large oak door to her room.


“Wait, Princess, I assure you, if it exists I’ve probably heard of it before, I get around a lot,” Ashei stated, he noticed Elizabeth was growing increasingly nervous,” You’re not lying to me are you?”


“No, I’m just in bit of hurry, my friends should be leaving soon, No if you’d excuse me, I have to go,” Elizabeth said as she pushed through the doors.


She quickly gathered her things, her Iron lance, thunder tome, extra clothes, and her down pillow, because she simply couldn’t go sleep without it. She fastened her lance to her bag and filled it with her stuff. The princess slung the bag around her shoulder and sprinted towards the door and made her way back down the winding stairs.


When Elizabeth sprinted through the door, Ashei noticed she had her lance. “Wait Princess, why do you have-,” Elizabeth ran away before Ashei could speak.


Elizabeth found Kiran and his retainers and exclaimed,” Are we all ready to go, We shouldprobably hurry, Bandits would eat royals like us alive if were caught during nightfall.”

 

[Eis]

Just gonna leave this post here to say I am definitely interested and just need time to put together the character sheet and RP sample

 

[Ninian]

Interested! I guess the question is who I should use. Perfectly happy playing Colress/Seven or Gladion. Colress can either participate or be a non combatant I don’t really care either way. Gladion would definitely fight though.

Edit: RP Sample. Tried to find a 'real' fight but I only found a Diglett hoard fight. RIP. (We don't do RP fights very often.)

Edit: I'll probably just refrain from using Gladion. Most of his canon team is popular Pokemon. Zoroark, Charizard, Lucario.... yeeeeeeh.

Spoiler: RP Sample

Upon noting that Viper was no where to be seen, a gripping sensation gnawed at his throat. Hastily reaching to his belt, he released his two partners—Type: Null and the Zorua. They'd have to clear a path if there was any hope of them getting out of this situation.

"Illidan, Heat Wave! Null, Icy Wind! Zorua Fake Tears!"

Pointing to the group up ahead, Gladion watched as his Golbat flew in first.

<He did no such thing.> Opening his mouth, the flying-type expelled a wind of flames in the direction of the Diglett blocking the cave entrance. [ILLIDAN used HEAT WAVE!]

Now, it was time to rapidly cool the Steel-types. Rearing back, the chimera began to charge energy from the pinned fin upon its head. [TYPE: NULL used ICY WIND!]

Meanwhile [ZORUA used FAKE TEARS!] Perhaps the distraction would be useful.

 

[FrostCrispz]

Oftenly, Max never fought more than one gym per visit to a region making her full badge collection to be half full for each region except Hoenn.

Spoiler: Sample

Frey slowly began to grin at his opponents words. This guy might actually have some skill. He thought to himself. Refusing to let Klein have any recognition of that, Frey turned his slight grin back to a straight face. Uncliping one of his custom pokeballs, a light blue pokeball with a snowflake on it, a Frost ball, Frey tossed it out onto the natural field. The ball erupted into a bright ball of icy mist as Weavile, who landed on his feet and one claw, the other hung into the air. His claws caught the ice preventing any sliding on the slick surface.
"Yes, I agree. Let's get this battle started!" Frey called across the field in a loud booming voice that had almost no similarities to his previous self. Keep his opponent guessing at all times, something he learned years ago.

Also, if I need to lower levels down some, tell me. I didn't have anything to base it on.

Spoiler: Seven of Nine

Name: Seven of Nine
Age: ~5 (Appears Early Twenties)
Gender: Genderless "Female"
Species: Porygon2
Ability: Download
Trainer: Colress
Hometown: Castelia City, Unova

Appearance

• Height: 5'4"
• Weight: 300lbs
• Hair: Long straight and Blonde
• Eye Color: Blue
• Identifying Marks: Several visible cybernetic parts including a metallic Ocular Panel surrounding her left eye in the shape of a sideways U, and metallic tendons that wrap around her left wrist and hand.
• Musculature: Slight, but strong thanks to lightweight steel alloy endoskeleton
• Clothing: White Dress

Though Seven has the appearance of a normal Porygon2, she is most often seen controlling a humanoid android. To most, she would appear human given that she has Artificial Biological Tissue covering her body in the form of realistic skin and hair. However, there are still a few clearly not biological components in the form of the metallic Ocular Panel surrounding her left eye in the shape of a sideways U, and metallic tendons that wrap around her left wrist and hand.

One might take notice of her pale skin, bright blue artifical eyes, and blonde shoulder-length hair. She would almost appear to be her Trainer's sibling as they share similar features.

Due to an unfortunate incident in her past, she has been given a white dress to wear in accordance to Aether Foundation style.

Spoiler: Image

THANK YOU VAULTIE!

At a Glance: Human-looking robot with pale skin, blonde hair, blue eyes. Several visible cybernetic parts.

Personality: Efficient and obedient, however Seven is not afraid to speak her mind when she feels strongly about something. Though her voice and mannerisms may seem emotionless, she is easily frustrated by those around her. Despite her aversion to small talk, this Porygon2 seeks companionship, and feels a gripping sensation of loneliness when on her own.

She is attempting to adapt to humanoid life, and seeks for those around her to treat her as an equal. However, despite her best efforts to adapt, there are a few things she is not willing to compromise. Above all else, Seven values honesty, and will often come across as blunt or harsh.

Strengths: Able to think logically, and remain composed even during tense situations. Skillful with computers and other technological devices.

Flaws: Incapable of understanding certain emotions, often to her frustration. Does not understand a lot of social cues. Can come off as kind of a stalker depending on the situation. Rigid, inflexible.

History:

Spoiler: Extended History

Seven of Nine was a Porygon2 liberated from Team Plasma. When Colress disbanded Team Plasma after being defeated by Nate, he realized that a Pokémon's strength is brought out by its Trainer. Both Porygon2, Four of Nine and Seven of Nine, were not meeting their potential, and Colress was determined to see them to their full strength. However, this lead to a split of ideals. Four of Nine believed becoming a Porygon-Z would get them closer to perfection, while Seven of Nine felt that sacrificing logic for versatility was not optimal. As their Trainer, Colress facilitated their needs, allowing them to grow in the direction they wanted to.

With the invention of the Rotom-Dex, Colress was spurred onward by his endless curiosity. This curiosity eventually manifested itself into Colress Machine No. 1054, a cybernetic shell designed to house a Porygon-class Pokémon. Seven of Nine volunteered, as the concept seemed intriguing.

Family: Colress, technically.
Love Relationships: N/A

Bios are mostly complete but I'll probably end up tweaking them. Most of Colress' Pokémon have very similar personalities given that they're for the most part all mechanical.

Edit: Also I posted this at like 2PM but oh god I don't usually post at 2PM ever. I'm EST, usually post after work at like 4PM and I generally sleep at 10-11PM unless it's weekends or days I don't work. I'll also try to make note of my IRL status in my statuses.

Her shorts are a lighter pink than the coverup, slightly puffed at the bottoms. Her shoes are a similar shade as the coverup, doll-styled, 4in heels with bows on the back under the ankle. She also totes around a light pink shoulder bag, which holds Pokeballs and other various items.
• Spoiler

  

Personality: A self described "Bubblegum Bitch". While she is outwardly sweet and tries her best to make good impressions, she refuses to take shit from anyone who gives her an attitude or treats her poorly. Otherwise, she's very outgoing and loves to explore, not wanting to be held down by responsibilities or expectations from others. Despite her feminine look, she's not exactly prissy or uptight. She doesn't mind getting down and dirty if need be, and many of her interests would contradict her initial appearance. Looks can deceive.
Strengths: She's bold. If someone is being rude or unfair, she won't hesitate to call them out on it. She also cares immensely for her Pokemon, acknowledging each one as an individual and seeing them as friends and family instead of just pets or partners.
Flaws: When upset, she tends to be very passive-aggressive. This can result in her acting like a brat and refusing to admit her own mistakes, leading to even more complications. She tends to get carried away when getting too into the moment, especially when alcohol is involved.
Brief History: 15 Years experience owning at least one Pokemon, and 11 years experience being a trainer. She left home at age 10, and traveled Unova for about 3 years, collecting all 8 of the Gym Badges. Since then, she has traveled Johto, Kanto, Kalos, and Alola, in that order. 7 Badges from Sinnoh and Johto, 5 from Kanto and Kalos, and 13 Z-Crystals from Alola. She also has a couple of ribbons from her time in Sinnoh, when she participated in contests. Her main issue for not wanting to challenge any of the leagues is the fear of all the responsibilities she would have if she somehow did become a Champion. For now, she would rather stick to simple competitions and tournaments where that isn't an issue. Although she isn't a professional, she isn't to be taken lightly either. She and her Pokemon have immense bonds, especially with the Weavile and Scizor she owns, and she makes sure to utilize her Pokemon's strengths and weaknesses while out on the battlefield.
Family: A mother and father living in Mistralton, and an older brother living in Driftveil City. Although not blood related, she considers Skyla very close since the two girls grew up together.
Love Relationships?: Currently a couple months into a relationship with Guzma. The two met while she was in Alola and hit it off surprisingly well.
Main Pokémon Team: Weavile, Scizor, Golisopod, Primarina, Tsareena, Scolipede
Pokémon Switch-Ins: Mismagius, Altaria

Spoiler: Pokemon Bios

Species: Weavile
Nickname: Ruby
Gender: Female
Ability: Pressure
Held Item: Muscle Band while in battle.
Hidden Power Type: Water (30/31/31/8/31/20)
Special Features: Slightly pudgier than Weaviles seen in the wild. She's a little bit spoiled.
Strengths: Very precise with her attacks, and doesn't often miss. Despite being under the care of a trainer for so long, she still has her wild predator instincts deep within her, and will try to go for a metaphorical kill if she can.
Flaws: She's just a tad bit slower because of her weight, since she's a Weavile, she still outspeeds most Pokemon to begin with. However, if it was her against a wild Weavile in better shape, the latter would outspeed her.
Quick History: She and Atty have been together for years. She met her trainer as a Sneasel kit during a winter in Unova, while Atty was visiting family in Lancuosa Town. She ventured out far from the Giant Chasm and snuck into the town, hoping for more food. She ended up befriending Atty, who felt sympathy for the Sneasel and fed her treats and dinner scraps. The two became close enough that Atty was able to get permission to catch her, and the two have been inseparable ever since.
Personality: Quirky (Neutral) - Loves to eat

Ability: Technician
Held Item (if any): A Metal Coat while in battle. The item is secured in a pouch, strapped to a belt above her abdomen.
Hidden Power Type: Fire (31/27/31/10/28/31)
Special Features: N/A
Strengths: Very persistent in her battling. She does not give up easily, and strives to become stronger and have a better understanding of herself with each battle.
Flaws: She hates to lose, but instead of throwing a fit about it, she will blame the loss on herself and her perceived inability to battle correctly. She takes losses harder than the rest of her team, and feels a pressure to do well and prove herself as a winner through and through.
Quick History: Caught in Johto when Atty participated in the Bug Catching Contest, winning her trainer first place. Since then, she's been a vital part of Atty's team composition, and has formed a close bond with Ruby. Atty has told her previously that she is interested in Mega Evolution with her, but Atty has her doubts since the evolution would put her under immense stress. Despite this, the two definitely share the bond needed for such a feat.
Personality: Brave (+Atk -Spd) - Hates to lose
Game-Equivalent Level: 78
Range of Moves They Avoid Learning (optional):

Species: Golisopod
Nickname: Flower
Gender: Female
Ability: Emergency Exit
Held Item (if any): Assault Vest while in battle.
Hidden Power Type: Flying (31/31/31/11/24/8 )
Special Features: Enjoys wearing bows on her antennae, but will take them off during battle. Also slightly smaller than an average Golisopod, but still giant.
Strengths: Very sturdy when battling and can take multiple hits, she will push herself to do well and make her trainer happy.
Flaws: Easily flustered. This is especially true when she ends up battling Guzma's Golisopod. There are instances where if she becomes too flustered and embarrassed, she will attempt to hide behind Atty.
Quick History: Atty caught her as a Wimpod early on in her Alola expedition, and Flower has adored her trainer ever since. The two are very affectionate with each other, and Flower greatly appreciates her for treating her so well and giving her a chance.
Personality: Jolly (+Spd -Sp.Atk) - Capable of taking hits

Species: Primarina
Nickname: Ariel
Gender: Female
Ability: Torrent
Held Item (if any): Mystic Water, which she also wears outside of battle.
Hidden Power Type: Ice (23/3/12/31/31/31)
Special Features: Being the runt of her litter, she's smaller than the average Primarina.
Strengths: She's highly perceptive, being able to read both opponents in battle and emotionally tune in with others while outside of battle.
Flaws: Since she's much smaller than average, it's very easy for her to become overwhelmed and shadowed by larger Pokemon. Although this can sometimes be an advantage, more than not Ariel finds herself taking more damage than she should.
Quick History: She was the runt of the litter, given to Atty from Professor Kukui as a welcoming gift to Alola. Atty was very patient and gentle with the tiny Popplio, showing the Pokemon love and care. Even though she is much more independent than she was before, Ariel still owes Atty and will protect her.
Personality: Modest (+Sp.Atk -Atk) - Alert to sounds
Game-Equivalent Level: 73

Special Features: A bit taller than a normal Tsareena.
Strengths: She's a relentless battler and an excellent fighter, and will show her opponent no mercy.
Flaws: Because of her tendency to go all out, she often gets carried away and will possibly end up making a mistake.
Quick History: When Atty caught her as a Bounsweet, she was not expecting the cute little fruit Pokemon to end up being a Queen Bee. While she has an easier time listening to Atty and cooperating with her team, she would rarely even give the time of day to anyone else. She especially has a distrust towards men, and isn't exactly pleased that her trainer is dating Guzma of all people.
Personality: Naughty (+Atk -Sp.Def) - Somewhat vain
Game-Equivalent Level: 73
Range of Moves They Avoid Learning (optional):
Can Swim?: Yes.

Species: Scolipede
Nickname: Pandora
Gender: Female
Ability: Speed Boost
Held Item (if any): Black Sludge, kept in a glass vial around her neck when in battle.
Hidden Power Type: Poison (31/31/30/11/8/31)
Special Features: N/A.
Strengths: Pandora is very strong and sturdy, not to mention her speed when she can actually get going. She carries her weight well, and can deliver powerful blows without her body type being much of a hindrance.
Flaws: While she does very well against large, slow opponents, she struggles with connecting hits on small opponents who either match her speed or are faster.
Quick History: One of the members from Atty's original Unova team. She was one of the first Pokemon Atty had caught in a real battle, catching Pandora as a Venipede in Pinwheel Forest. Pandora herself is a little bit finicky with who she trusts, but is close with Ruby and is friendly towards the rest of the team. However, she's very defensive of Atty and will attempt to intimidate anyone giving her a rough time, or if she just doesn't trust them in the first place. For whatever reason, she was surprisingly well receptive of Guzma and warmed up to him very quickly.

Spoiler: RP Example

context: excerpt is from another RP on this site.
"A young woman sat on the edge of the bed, still in her pajamas, watching intently on the information displayed on the screen. The entire city had been in a bit of an uproar since the discovery of the theft early this morning, prompting the Nacrene Police Department to be out and about, surveying the area and scouting for whatever information they could. So far, the amount was very scarce, with no leads popping up as to what had happened. Even though she had plans elsewhere, to leave the city now would be suspicious. She swung her legs, her toes feathering the carpet as he legs barely reached. It was interesting to her really- How something like this could've happened. Even if she was up from the north, Unova was still her home. It was painful to watch one of the highlights of beautiful Nacrene city become a crime scene.

She had been thinking about her decision to assist or not since hearing the news earlier, contemplating the whole ordeal over a quick breakfast. It was now Midday, and she had barely moved from her spot, too engrossed within the stories being played back on the television. Enough was enough. The woman got herself into gear, finally getting ready to go out. A shower, some makeup, and proper clothes was all it took for her to feel far more confident about the situation, mentally reassuring herself that she could be of use, and that she had the experience and evidence to prove it. Collecting her bag and Pokeballs from the chair they rested on, she made her way out, double-checking that she had locked her door."

oh boy thats a lot
If i forgot anything or need to edit something, feel free to tell me. i was also thinking while writing this form, i'd be fully willing to actually RP Guzma and include him in the tourney.

Extra: N/A

Spoiler: Pokemon Bios

Species: Weavile
Nickname: Ruby
Gender: Female
Ability: Pressure
Held Item: Muscle Band while in battle.
Hidden Power Type: Water (30/31/31/8/31/20)
Special Features: Slightly pudgier than Weaviles seen in the wild. She's a little bit spoiled.
Strengths: Very precise with her attacks, and doesn't often miss. Despite being under the care of a trainer for so long, she still has her wild predator instincts deep within her, and will try to go for a metaphorical kill if she can.
Flaws: She's just a tad bit slower because of her weight, since she's a Weavile, she still outspeeds most Pokemon to begin with. However, if it was her against a wild Weavile in better shape, the latter would outspeed her.
Quick History: She and Atty have been together for years. She met her trainer as a Sneasel kit during a winter in Unova, while Atty was visiting family in Lancuosa Town. She ventured out far from the Giant Chasm and snuck into the town, hoping for more food. She ended up befriending Atty, who felt sympathy for the Sneasel and fed her treats and dinner scraps. The two became close enough that Atty was able to get permission to catch her, and the two have been inseparable ever since.
Personality: Quirky (Neutral) - Loves to eat
Game-Equivalent Level: 80
Range of Moves They Avoid Learning (optional):
Can Swim?: Yes, but not a fan of it. Doesn't mind it as much if the water is cold.

Species: Scizor
Nickname: Dakota
Gender: Female
Ability: Technician
Held Item (if any): A Metal Coat while in battle. The item is secured in a pouch, strapped to a belt above her abdomen.
Hidden Power Type: Fire (31/27/31/10/28/31)
Special Features: N/A
Strengths: Very persistent in her battling. She does not give up easily, and strives to become stronger and have a better understanding of herself with each battle.
Flaws: She hates to lose, but instead of throwing a fit about it, she will blame the loss on herself and her perceived inability to battle correctly. She takes losses harder than the rest of her team, and feels a pressure to do well and prove herself as a winner through and through.
Quick History: Caught in Johto when Atty participated in the Bug Catching Contest, winning her trainer first place. Since then, she's been a vital part of Atty's team composition, and has formed a close bond with Ruby. Atty has told her previously that she is interested in Mega Evolution with her, but Atty has her doubts since the evolution would put her under immense stress. Despite this, the two definitely share the bond needed for such a feat.
Personality: Brave (+Atk -Spd) - Hates to lose
Game-Equivalent Level: 78
Range of Moves They Avoid Learning (optional):
Can Swim?: No

Species: Golisopod
Nickname: Flower
Gender: Female
Ability: Emergency Exit
Held Item (if any): Assault Vest while in battle.
Hidden Power Type: Flying (31/31/31/11/24/8 )
Special Features: Enjoys wearing bows on her antennae, but will take them off during battle. Also slightly smaller than an average Golisopod, but still giant.
Strengths: Very sturdy when battling and can take multiple hits, she will push herself to do well and make her trainer happy.
Flaws: Easily flustered. This is especially true when she ends up battling Guzma's Golisopod. There are instances where if she becomes too flustered and embarrassed, she will attempt to hide behind Atty.
Quick History: Atty caught her as a Wimpod early on in her Alola expedition, and Flower has adored her trainer ever since. The two are very affectionate with each other, and Flower greatly appreciates her for treating her so well and giving her a chance.
Personality: Jolly (+Spd -Sp.Atk) - Capable of taking hits
Game-Equivalent Level: 74
Range of Moves They Avoid Learning (optional):
Can Swim?: Yes. She is faster in the water than on land.

Species: Primarina
Nickname: Ariel
Gender: Female
Ability: Torrent
Held Item (if any): Mystic Water, which she also wears outside of battle.
Hidden Power Type: Ice (23/3/12/31/31/31)
Special Features: Being the runt of her litter, she's smaller than the average Primarina.
Strengths: She's highly perceptive, being able to read both opponents in battle and emotionally tune in with others while outside of battle.
Flaws: Since she's much smaller than average, it's very easy for her to become overwhelmed and shadowed by larger Pokemon. Although this can sometimes be an advantage, more than not Ariel finds herself taking more damage than she should.
Quick History: She was the runt of the litter, given to Atty from Professor Kukui as a welcoming gift to Alola. Atty was very patient and gentle with the tiny Popplio, showing the Pokemon love and care. Even though she is much more independent than she was before, Ariel still owes Atty and will protect her.
Personality: Modest (+Sp.Atk -Atk) - Alert to sounds
Game-Equivalent Level: 73
Range of Moves They Avoid Learning (optional):
Can Swim?: Yes, exceptionally well.

Species: Tsareena
Nickname: Jeanne
Gender: Female
Ability: Queenly Majesty
Held Item (if any): Silk Scarf, which she also wears outside of battle.
Hidden Power Type: Grass (13/31/28/4/31/31)
Special Features: A bit taller than a normal Tsareena.
Strengths: She's a relentless battler and an excellent fighter, and will show her opponent no mercy.
Flaws: Because of her tendency to go all out, she often gets carried away and will possibly end up making a mistake.
Quick History: When Atty caught her as a Bounsweet, she was not expecting the cute little fruit Pokemon to end up being a Queen Bee. While she has an easier time listening to Atty and cooperating with her team, she would rarely even give the time of day to anyone else. She especially has a distrust towards men, and isn't exactly pleased that her trainer is dating Guzma of all people.
Personality: Naughty (+Atk -Sp.Def) - Somewhat vain
Game-Equivalent Level: 73
Range of Moves They Avoid Learning (optional):
Can Swim?: Yes.

Species: Scolipede
Nickname: Pandora
Gender: Female
Ability: Speed Boost
Held Item (if any): Black Sludge, kept in a glass vial around her neck when in battle.
Hidden Power Type: Poison (31/31/30/11/8/31)
Special Features: N/A.
Strengths: Pandora is very strong and sturdy, not to mention her speed when she can actually get going. She carries her weight well, and can deliver powerful blows without her body type being much of a hindrance.
Flaws: While she does very well against large, slow opponents, she struggles with connecting hits on small opponents who either match her speed or are faster.
Quick History: One of the members from Atty's original Unova team. She was one of the first Pokemon Atty had caught in a real battle, catching Pandora as a Venipede in Pinwheel Forest. Pandora herself is a little bit finicky with who she trusts, but is close with Ruby and is friendly towards the rest of the team. However, she's very defensive of Atty and will attempt to intimidate anyone giving her a rough time, or if she just doesn't trust them in the first place. For whatever reason, she was surprisingly well receptive of Guzma and warmed up to him very quickly.
Personality: Impish (+Def -Sp.Atk) - Sturdy Body
Game-Equivalent Level: 73
Range of Moves They Avoid Learning (optional):
Can Swim?: No.

Flaws: Lacking when it comes to properly defending herself. She often has to rely on Atty for strategies on how to counter-attack.
Quick History: Apart of Atty's Sinnoh team. She was one of the main Pokemon used when Atty participated in contests, and naturally has a love for attention and the spotlight. Although she got smarts, she's still a mischievous little ghost.
Personality: Quirky (Neutral) - Mischevious
Game-Equivalent Level: 73
Range of Moves They Avoid Learning (optional):

Species: Altaria
Nickname: Marzipan

Spoiler: RP Example

context: excerpt is from another RP on this site.
"A young woman sat on the edge of the bed, still in her pajamas, watching intently on the information displayed on the screen. The entire city had been in a bit of an uproar since the discovery of the theft early this morning, prompting the Nacrene Police Department to be out and about, surveying the area and scouting for whatever information they could. So far, the amount was very scarce, with no leads popping up as to what had happened. Even though she had plans elsewhere, to leave the city now would be suspicious. She swung her legs, her toes feathering the carpet as he legs barely reached. It was interesting to her really- How something like this could've happened. Even if she was up from the north, Unova was still her home. It was painful to watch one of the highlights of beautiful Nacrene city become a crime scene.

She had been thinking about her decision to assist or not since hearing the news earlier, contemplating the whole ordeal over a quick breakfast. It was now Midday, and she had barely moved from her spot, too engrossed within the stories being played back on the television. Enough was enough. The woman got herself into gear, finally getting ready to go out. A shower, some makeup, and proper clothes was all it took for her to feel far more confident about the situation, mentally reassuring herself that she could be of use, and that she had the experience and evidence to prove it. Collecting her bag and Pokeballs from the chair they rested on, she made her way out, double-checking that she had locked her door."

oh boy thats a lot
If i forgot anything or need to edit something, feel free to tell me. i was also thinking while writing this form, i'd be fully willing to actually RP Guzma and include him in the tourney.

You mean the man who beats you down, and beats you down, and never lets up? My boi Guzma?

 

[vaultie]

yes That Boy, Guzma

Spoiler: Trainer Bio

Name: Guzma
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Birthplace/Hometown: Route 2, Melemele Island, Alola
Appearance

• Height: 6'5"
• Weight: 213lbs.
• Hair Color/Length/Style: Shaggy, bleached white with a black undercut. Black is his natural color.
• Eye Color: Steel Grey
• Identifying Marks (i.e. tattoos, piercings, freckles, etc.): Used to, not anymore.
• Musculature: Very, very strong and sturdy body. Not exactly a "6 pack and athletic" build, but he definitely has muscle. Solid arms and chest, slight tummy pudge.
• Clothing: Black sweats, white sneakers, white tanktop. Wears his signature hoodie, the bright red X still on the back over the old Team Skull logo. Keeps his full moon sunglasses perched on his head.

Personality: Loud, brash, and not one to easily back down from a fight, whether it be a battle or a real physical one. His years leading Team Skull have given him a strong backbone and a short temper to match. However, due to the events that had taken place in Alola, Guzma is no longer leading Skull, although he still remains in contact with Plumeria and many of the ex-grunts. He's realized within the past months that his beat-'em-up attitude may not always be effective, after long talks with Plumeria and Hala. He knows they're right, but is still stubborn to admit it. Still, he's got a surprising soft side, and has taken their words into consideration, and has been slowly getting better with his temper and the urge of needing to prove himself.
Strengths: Besides being physically strong, he's the type of battler to go all out and not hold back. Even if people had hurt him, he could always trust his Pokemon, and sees great power in each of them.
Flaws: Admittedly, a lot. He's got a bad reputation around Alola and a short temper, often taking his anger out on himself, others, or objects when he becomes upset. He's working on it, but he's still got a lot to learn.
Brief History: Originally took on the Island Challenge when he was 11, unable to finish and being denied a spot as a Trial Captain. He became fed up and ran away from home, eventually rejuvenating Team Skull under his lead. Although he has no Z-Crystals or badges like a traditional trainer would, he still poses a threat. Considering he was the leader of Team Skull for 2+ years, the man has plenty of experience when it comes to beating down others and winning battles.
Family: Mother and father still living on Route 2. Very complicated relationship with them.
Love Relationships?: Currently with Atty.
Main Pokémon Team: Golisopod, Ariados, Masquerain, Pinsir, Scizor, Vikavolt

Special Features: N/A
Strengths: Even quicker than Ariados, Masquerain can be a very hard to hit opponent in battle. He darts around at high speeds, flighty and looking for an opening to attack.
Flaws: Despite his speed and strong Special Attacks, Masquerain has the worst defenses out of anyone on his team.
Quick History: Caught as a Surskit in Brooklet Hill during his trials. He was quick to evolve, and is powerful despite looking sweeter and softer than the rest of his team.
Personality: Modest (+Sp.Atk -Atk) - Alert to sounds

Flaws: Pretty slow, and despite his survivability, its easier for the opponent to get some hits in before he can make a move.
Quick History: Caught late into Guzma's Island Challenge, and has a lot going for him. He's been proven to be a good addition to the team, and has a lot of respect for his trainer.
Personality: Impish (+Def -Sp.Atk) - Capable of taking hits
Game-Equivalent Level: 68
Range of Moves They Avoid Learning (optional):
Can Swim?: No.

Species: Vikavolt
Nickname: N/A

Hidden Power Type: Dragon
Special Features: N/A
Strengths: Devastating Special Attacks, with decent defense to boot. Vikavolt is fully aware of all the power it has, and isn't afraid to utilize it in battle.
Flaws: Very, very slow. It takes a while for his attacks to fully charge most of the time, but when they do manage to hit, they hit hard.
Quick History: Caught early, and evolved late. Guzma was able to catch him as a Grubbin, but it had taken a while for him to evolve Charjabug into the Vikavolt he owns today, primarily because of the evolutionary conditions.
Personality: Bold (+Def -Atk) - Mischevious
Game-Equivalent Level: 68

[Merciless Medic]

Alright, oh boy XD give me a sec to get through everyone's posts. Just got home XD I'll add everyone to the roster :3

 

[Hydreigonborn]

I’ll make a bio for Serena tomorrow.

I already spent all morning on the other one.

 

[Merciless Medic]

I will allow canon characters. Any head-canons I should know about (besides love interests) that I should know about?

Also, Hidden Power Typing is determined by the spread of IVs (ranging from 0-31) throughout all the stats. There is a calculator in Psypokes that can help you. Right here: http://www.psypokes.com/dex/hp.php (Psypoke Tools :: Hidden Power Calculator)

Just put in your numbers of what your Pokemon should have in terms of the IV spread, and there you go. Or you can just pick a type and not worry about it.

 

[Merciless Medic]

Also, before I do anything, you all missed something at the end of the Rules section XD Please read it XD

 

[Hydreigonborn]

I added it to my extra.

 

[vaultie]

oh jeeze i completely forgot that part

i'll just say here that im in EST, and as of rn it's approx 10:46PM. as for headcanons, there's nothing that really comes to mind, other than the stuff i listed here

@Mr.Glaceon. I'm on a completely different timezone than other people here. You and I may share a timezone, but other people's time differs. As the case with Takumeme's post, he posted it at 2:58 pm, but when he posted it, the timestamp for me is 1:58 pm. That is why I put that there.

Ok, I got kinda confused about that first up. Also, it is on my extra section now.

Spoiler: Trainer Bio

Name: Atlas "Atty" Bennett
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Birthplace/Hometown: Mistralton City, Unova
Appearance

• Height: 5'3.5" naturally, 5'7.5" in her heels.
• Weight: 145 lbs.
• Hair Color/Length/Style: Dark Brown, either worn down as a bob to her shoulders or styled up. In this instance she has two symmetrical buns pinned up.
• Eye Color: Cinnamon Brown
• Identifying Marks (i.e. tattoos, piercings, freckles, etc.): N/A
• Musculature: Pear-shaped. 36B, wide hips, and thick legs. Not as much upper arm strength. Soft, young face.

Her shorts are a lighter pink than the coverup, slightly puffed at the bottoms. Her shoes are a similar shade as the coverup, doll-styled, 4in heels with bows on the back under the ankle. She also totes around a light pink shoulder bag, which holds Pokeballs and other various items.
• Spoiler

  

Personality: A self described "Bubblegum Bitch". While she is outwardly sweet and tries her best to make good impressions, she refuses to take shit from anyone who gives her an attitude or treats her poorly. Otherwise, she's very outgoing and loves to explore, not wanting to be held down by responsibilities or expectations from others. Despite her feminine look, she's not exactly prissy or uptight. She doesn't mind getting down and dirty if need be, and many of her interests would contradict her initial appearance. Looks can deceive.
Strengths: She's bold. If someone is being rude or unfair, she won't hesitate to call them out on it. She also cares immensely for her Pokemon, acknowledging each one as an individual and seeing them as friends and family instead of just pets or partners.
Flaws: When upset, she tends to be very passive-aggressive. This can result in her acting like a brat and refusing to admit her own mistakes, leading to even more complications. She tends to get carried away when getting too into the moment, especially when alcohol is involved.
Brief History: 15 Years experience owning at least one Pokemon, and 11 years experience being a trainer. She left home at age 10, and traveled Unova for about 3 years, collecting all 8 of the Gym Badges. Since then, she has traveled Johto, Kanto, Kalos, and Alola, in that order. 7 Badges from Sinnoh and Johto, 5 from Kanto and Kalos, and 13 Z-Crystals from Alola. She also has a couple of ribbons from her time in Sinnoh, when she participated in contests. Her main issue for not wanting to challenge any of the leagues is the fear of all the responsibilities she would have if she somehow did become a Champion. For now, she would rather stick to simple competitions and tournaments where that isn't an issue. Although she isn't a professional, she isn't to be taken lightly either. She and her Pokemon have immense bonds, especially with the Weavile and Scizor she owns, and she makes sure to utilize her Pokemon's strengths and weaknesses while out on the battlefield.
Family: A mother and father living in Mistralton, and an older brother living in Driftveil City. Although not blood related, she considers Skyla very close since the two girls grew up together.
Love Relationships?: Currently a couple months into a relationship with Guzma. The two met while she was in Alola and hit it off surprisingly well.
Main Pokémon Team: Weavile, Scizor, Golisopod, Primarina, Tsareena, Scolipede
Pokémon Switch-Ins: Mismagius, Altaria

Spoiler: Pokemon Bios

Species: Weavile
Nickname: Ruby
Gender: Female
Ability: Pressure
Held Item: Muscle Band while in battle.
Hidden Power Type: Water (30/31/31/8/31/20)
Special Features: Slightly pudgier than Weaviles seen in the wild. She's a little bit spoiled.
Strengths: Very precise with her attacks, and doesn't often miss. Despite being under the care of a trainer for so long, she still has her wild predator instincts deep within her, and will try to go for a metaphorical kill if she can.
Flaws: She's just a tad bit slower because of her weight, since she's a Weavile, she still outspeeds most Pokemon to begin with. However, if it was her against a wild Weavile in better shape, the latter would outspeed her.
Quick History: She and Atty have been together for years. She met her trainer as a Sneasel kit during a winter in Unova, while Atty was visiting family in Lancuosa Town. She ventured out far from the Giant Chasm and snuck into the town, hoping for more food. She ended up befriending Atty, who felt sympathy for the Sneasel and fed her treats and dinner scraps. The two became close enough that Atty was able to get permission to catch her, and the two have been inseparable ever since.
Personality: Quirky (Neutral) - Loves to eat

Hidden Power Type: Fire (31/27/31/10/28/31)
Special Features: N/A
Strengths: Very persistent in her battling. She does not give up easily, and strives to become stronger and have a better understanding of herself with each battle.
Flaws: She hates to lose, but instead of throwing a fit about it, she will blame the loss on herself and her perceived inability to battle correctly. She takes losses harder than the rest of her team, and feels a pressure to do well and prove herself as a winner through and through.
Quick History: Caught in Johto when Atty participated in the Bug Catching Contest, winning her trainer first place. Since then, she's been a vital part of Atty's team composition, and has formed a close bond with Ruby. Atty has told her previously that she is interested in Mega Evolution with her, but Atty has her doubts since the evolution would put her under immense stress. Despite this, the two definitely share the bond needed for such a feat.

Special Features: Enjoys wearing bows on her antennae, but will take them off during battle. Also slightly smaller than an average Golisopod, but still giant.
Strengths: Very sturdy when battling and can take multiple hits, she will push herself to do well and make her trainer happy.
Flaws: Easily flustered. This is especially true when she ends up battling Guzma's Golisopod. There are instances where if she becomes too flustered and embarrassed, she will attempt to hide behind Atty.
Quick History: Atty caught her as a Wimpod early on in her Alola expedition, and Flower has adored her trainer ever since. The two are very affectionate with each other, and Flower greatly appreciates her for treating her so well and giving her a chance.

Hidden Power Type: Ice (23/3/12/31/31/31)
Special Features: Being the runt of her litter, she's smaller than the average Primarina.
Strengths: She's highly perceptive, being able to read both opponents in battle and emotionally tune in with others while outside of battle.
Flaws: Since she's much smaller than average, it's very easy for her to become overwhelmed and shadowed by larger Pokemon. Although this can sometimes be an advantage, more than not Ariel finds herself taking more damage than she should.
Quick History: She was the runt of the litter, given to Atty from Professor Kukui as a welcoming gift to Alola. Atty was very patient and gentle with the tiny Popplio, showing the Pokemon love and care. Even though she is much more independent than she was before, Ariel still owes Atty and will protect her.
Personality: Modest (+Sp.Atk -Atk) - Alert to sounds

Special Features: A bit taller than a normal Tsareena.
Strengths: She's a relentless battler and an excellent fighter, and will show her opponent no mercy.
Flaws: Because of her tendency to go all out, she often gets carried away and will possibly end up making a mistake.
Quick History: When Atty caught her as a Bounsweet, she was not expecting the cute little fruit Pokemon to end up being a Queen Bee. While she has an easier time listening to Atty and cooperating with her team, she would rarely even give the time of day to anyone else. She especially has a distrust towards men, and isn't exactly pleased that her trainer is dating Guzma of all people.
Personality: Naughty (+Atk -Sp.Def) - Somewhat vain
Game-Equivalent Level: 73
Range of Moves They Avoid Learning (optional):
Can Swim?: Yes.

Species: Scolipede

Held Item (if any): Black Sludge, kept in a glass vial around her neck when in battle.
Hidden Power Type: Poison (31/31/30/11/8/31)
Special Features: N/A.
Strengths: Pandora is very strong and sturdy, not to mention her speed when she can actually get going. She carries her weight well, and can deliver powerful blows without her body type being much of a hindrance.
Flaws: While she does very well against large, slow opponents, she struggles with connecting hits on small opponents who either match her speed or are faster.
Quick History: One of the members from Atty's original Unova team. She was one of the first Pokemon Atty had caught in a real battle, catching Pandora as a Venipede in Pinwheel Forest. Pandora herself is a little bit finicky with who she trusts, but is close with Ruby and is friendly towards the rest of the team. However, she's very defensive of Atty and will attempt to intimidate anyone giving her a rough time, or if she just doesn't trust them in the first place. For whatever reason, she was surprisingly well receptive of Guzma and warmed up to him very quickly.

Spoiler: RP Example

context: excerpt is from another RP on this site.
"A young woman sat on the edge of the bed, still in her pajamas, watching intently on the information displayed on the screen. The entire city had been in a bit of an uproar since the discovery of the theft early this morning, prompting the Nacrene Police Department to be out and about, surveying the area and scouting for whatever information they could. So far, the amount was very scarce, with no leads popping up as to what had happened. Even though she had plans elsewhere, to leave the city now would be suspicious. She swung her legs, her toes feathering the carpet as he legs barely reached. It was interesting to her really- How something like this could've happened. Even if she was up from the north, Unova was still her home. It was painful to watch one of the highlights of beautiful Nacrene city become a crime scene.

She had been thinking about her decision to assist or not since hearing the news earlier, contemplating the whole ordeal over a quick breakfast. It was now Midday, and she had barely moved from her spot, too engrossed within the stories being played back on the television. Enough was enough. The woman got herself into gear, finally getting ready to go out. A shower, some makeup, and proper clothes was all it took for her to feel far more confident about the situation, mentally reassuring herself that she could be of use, and that she had the experience and evidence to prove it. Collecting her bag and Pokeballs from the chair they rested on, she made her way out, double-checking that she had locked her door."

oh boy thats a lot
If i forgot anything or need to edit something, feel free to tell me. i was also thinking while writing this form, i'd be fully willing to actually RP Guzma and include him in the tourney.

yes That Boy, Guzma

Spoiler: Trainer Bio

Name: Guzma
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Birthplace/Hometown: Route 2, Melemele Island, Alola
Appearance

• Height: 6'5"
• Weight: 213lbs.
• Hair Color/Length/Style: Shaggy, bleached white with a black undercut. Black is his natural color.
• Eye Color: Steel Grey
• Identifying Marks (i.e. tattoos, piercings, freckles, etc.): Used to, not anymore.
• Musculature: Very, very strong and sturdy body. Not exactly a "6 pack and athletic" build, but he definitely has muscle. Solid arms and chest, slight tummy pudge.
• Clothing: Black sweats, white sneakers, white tanktop. Wears his signature hoodie, the bright red X still on the back over the old Team Skull logo. Keeps his full moon sunglasses perched on his head.

Personality: Loud, brash, and not one to easily back down from a fight, whether it be a battle or a real physical one. His years leading Team Skull have given him a strong backbone and a short temper to match. However, due to the events that had taken place in Alola, Guzma is no longer leading Skull, although he still remains in contact with Plumeria and many of the ex-grunts. He's realized within the past months that his beat-'em-up attitude may not always be effective, after long talks with Plumeria and Hala. He knows they're right, but is still stubborn to admit it. Still, he's got a surprising soft side, and has taken their words into consideration, and has been slowly getting better with his temper and the urge of needing to prove himself.
Strengths: Besides being physically strong, he's the type of battler to go all out and not hold back. Even if people had hurt him, he could always trust his Pokemon, and sees great power in each of them.
Flaws: Admittedly, a lot. He's got a bad reputation around Alola and a short temper, often taking his anger out on himself, others, or objects when he becomes upset. He's working on it, but he's still got a lot to learn.
Brief History: Originally took on the Island Challenge when he was 11, unable to finish and being denied a spot as a Trial Captain. He became fed up and ran away from home, eventually rejuvenating Team Skull under his lead. Although he has no Z-Crystals or badges like a traditional trainer would, he still poses a threat. Considering he was the leader of Team Skull for 2+ years, the man has plenty of experience when it comes to beating down others and winning battles.
Family: Mother and father still living on Route 2. Very complicated relationship with them.
Love Relationships?: Currently with Atty.

Flaws: Despite his speed and strong Special Attacks, Masquerain has the worst defenses out of anyone on his team.
Quick History: Caught as a Surskit in Brooklet Hill during his trials. He was quick to evolve, and is powerful despite looking sweeter and softer than the rest of his team.

Strengths: Devastating Special Attacks, with decent defense to boot. Vikavolt is fully aware of all the power it has, and isn't afraid to utilize it in battle.
Flaws: Very, very slow. It takes a while for his attacks to fully charge most of the time, but when they do manage to hit, they hit hard.
Quick History: Caught early, and evolved late. Guzma was able to catch him as a Grubbin, but it had taken a while for him to evolve Charjabug into the Vikavolt he owns today, primarily because of the evolutionary conditions.

Spoiler: Sample

Frey slowly began to grin at his opponents words. This guy might actually have some skill. He thought to himself. Refusing to let Klein have any recognition of that, Frey turned his slight grin back to a straight face. Uncliping one of his custom pokeballs, a light blue pokeball with a snowflake on it, a Frost ball, Frey tossed it out onto the natural field. The ball erupted into a bright ball of icy mist as Weavile, who landed on his feet and one claw, the other hung into the air. His claws caught the ice preventing any sliding on the slick surface.
"Yes, I agree. Let's get this battle started!" Frey called across the field in a loud booming voice that had almost no similarities to his previous self. Keep his opponent guessing at all times, something he learned years ago.

Also, if I need to lower levels down some, tell me. I didn't have anything to base it on.

Spoiler: Colress

Name: Colress
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Hometown: Castelia City, Unova

Appearance

• Height: 5'7"
• Weight: 140
  
• Hair: Short and blonde with a blue crest.
• Eye Color: Yellow
• Identifying Marks: Blue hair streak/crest.
• Musculature: Slight
  
• Clothing: Heavy liquid-cooled jacket.

Personality: A quirky, but passionate scientist. He is friendly and personable, if not a bit odd. However, he enjoys being helpful, seeking to bring out the best in a Trainer and their Pokémon. Despite having the willingness to pursue his goals no matter the consequence, he dislikes selfish, malevolent people. However, he will entertain them if it's required for the benefit of his research.

Strengths: The power of SCIENCE. Intellect. Logic, etc.
Flaws: Lack of empathy, physically frail. Does not pick up on certain social cues.

Backstory: Formerly a Team Plasma scientist, Colress was involved in several incidents. Once he gained control of Team Plasma, he disbanded it once Nate proved that he could draw out the power of his Pokémon, proving that Team Plasma's methodology was incorrect. Since then, Colress has pursued different methods of drawing out a Pokémon's power, including Mega Evolution and Z-Moves. This has moved his research to Alola.

He does not have any Gym Badges despite being a skilled Trainer. He does however own a Keystone and Metagrossite for his research (which is obviously shelved for this tournament), along with a Z-Ring and both Normalium Z and Steelium Z.

Spoiler: Seven of Nine

Name: Seven of Nine
Age: ~5 (Appears Early Twenties)
Gender: Genderless "Female"
Species: Porygon2
Ability: Download
Trainer: Colress
Hometown: Castelia City, Unova

Appearance

• Height: 5'4"
• Weight: 300lbs
• Hair: Long straight and Blonde
• Eye Color: Blue
• Identifying Marks: Several visible cybernetic parts including a metallic Ocular Panel surrounding her left eye in the shape of a sideways U, and metallic tendons that wrap around her left wrist and hand.
• Musculature: Slight, but strong thanks to lightweight steel alloy endoskeleton
• Clothing: White Dress

Though Seven has the appearance of a normal Porygon2, she is most often seen controlling a humanoid android. To most, she would appear human given that she has Artificial Biological Tissue covering her body in the form of realistic skin and hair. However, there are still a few clearly not biological components in the form of the metallic Ocular Panel surrounding her left eye in the shape of a sideways U, and metallic tendons that wrap around her left wrist and hand.

One might take notice of her pale skin, bright blue artifical eyes, and blonde shoulder-length hair. She would almost appear to be her Trainer's sibling as they share similar features.

Due to an unfortunate incident in her past, she has been given a white dress to wear in accordance to Aether Foundation style.

Spoiler: Image

Doll Maker: http://www.rinmarugames.com/playgame.php?game_link=witch-apprentice-creator (Rinmaru Games-Witch's Apprentice Creator)

At a Glance: Human-looking robot with pale skin, blonde hair, blue eyes. Several visible cybernetic parts.

Personality: Efficient and obedient, however Seven is not afraid to speak her mind when she feels strongly about something. Though her voice and mannerisms may seem emotionless, she is easily frustrated by those around her. Despite her aversion to small talk, this Porygon2 seeks companionship, and feels a gripping sensation of loneliness when on her own.

She is attempting to adapt to humanoid life, and seeks for those around her to treat her as an equal. However, despite her best efforts to adapt, there are a few things she is not willing to compromise. Above all else, Seven values honesty, and will often come across as blunt or harsh.

Strengths: Able to think logically, and remain composed even during tense situations. Skillful with computers and other technological devices.

Flaws: Incapable of understanding certain emotions, often to her frustration. Does not understand a lot of social cues. Can come of as kind of a stalker depending on the situation. Rigid, inflexible.

History:

Spoiler: Extended History

Seven of Nine was a Porygon2 liberated from Team Plasma. When Colress disbanded Team Plasma after being defeated by Nate, he realized that a Pokémon's strength is brought out by its Trainer. Both Porygon2, Four of Nine and Seven of Nine, were not meeting their potential, and Colress was determined to see them to their full strength. However, this lead to a split of ideals. Four of Nine believed becoming a Porygon-Z would get them closer to perfection, while Seven of Nine felt that sacrificing logic for versatility was not optimal. As their Trainer, Colress facilitated their needs, allowing them to grow in the direction they wanted to.

With the invention of the Rotom-Dex, Colress was spurred onward by his endless curiosity. This curiosity eventually manifested itself into Colress Machine No. 1054, a cybernetic shell designed to house a Porygon-class Pokémon. Seven of Nine volunteered, as the concept seemed intriguing.

Family: Colress, technically.
Love Relationships: N/A

Bios are mostly complete but I'll probably end up tweaking them. Most of Colress' Pokémon have very similar personalities given that they're for the most part all mechanical.

Edit: Also I posted this at like 2PM but oh god I don't usually post at 2PM ever. I'm EST, usually post after work at like 4PM and I generally sleep at 10-11PM unless it's weekends or days I don't work. I'll also try to make note of my IRL status in my statuses.

Spoiler: RP Sample

RP Sample:

Miranda stood, a stadium apart from her opponent with a pokeball clutched in her right hand. Similar to a "thousand yard stare," Miranda was in the zone. The battle had been going on for ages and they were down to their final Pokèmon.

"Your move." Her opponent snickered with a selfish attitude. In front of her opponent was a Rhyperior.

"Go, Meganium!" Miranda yelled as her large grass type Pokèmon exploded out of the pokeball into the field with force. It's long neck brought their heights to similar levels as Meganium eyed his opponent.

"Rhyperior! Use Stone Edge!" The opponent yelled out as the person casted out a finger towards Meganium. In a fraction of a second, the ground shook as large rocks began protruding from the ground, coming at Meganium.

"Climb onto the rocks and use Razor Leaf!" Miranda yelled out, watching Meganium leap off of the ground and land on top of one of the rocks coming her way. Once there, Meganium jumped again even higher into the air where he whipped his head twice. Instantly, dozens of leaves ejected towards the opposing Rhyperior like missiles.

Once the impact was made, the rocks vanished and Meganium was facing Rhyperior once more.

"We're just getting started..." The opponent chuckled.

Miranda chimed in with a smile with her Eevee standing beside her to the right, watching the battle after it's own participation minutes ago.

"Good. Let's finish this!"

All accepted! SednaZ, your character will be accepted once you put the timestamp of when you uploaded this post in your extras. And I saw Vaultie's post on her time, so I accepted her because of that.

 

[Hydreigonborn]

Can I take Wally too?

 

[Merciless Medic]

XD sure, go for it. Remember, in reality, we have 36 spots for the tournament xD

 

[Merciless Medic]

I will add everyone's bios to my original post, so I can keep everyone's character bios in one place. Soon enough.

This is going to be one long-ass post XD

EDIT: I also suggest finishing up your bios soon, so I won't make a fuss over it later in fixing it XD

 

[Merciless Medic]

Interested! I guess the question is who I should use. Perfectly happy playing Colress/Seven or Gladion. Colress can either participate or be a non combatant I don’t really care either way. Gladion would definitely fight though.

Edit: RP Sample. Tried to find a 'real' fight but I only found a Diglett hoard fight. RIP. (We don't do RP fights very often.)

Edit: I'll probably just refrain from using Gladion. Most of his canon team is popular Pokemon. Zoroark, Charizard, Lucario.... yeeeeeeh.

Spoiler: RP Sample

Upon noting that Viper was no where to be seen, a gripping sensation gnawed at his throat. Hastily reaching to his belt, he released his two partners—Type: Null and the Zorua. They'd have to clear a path if there was any hope of them getting out of this situation.

"Illidan, Heat Wave! Null, Icy Wind! Zorua Fake Tears!"

Pointing to the group up ahead, Gladion watched as his Golbat flew in first.

<He did no such thing.> Opening his mouth, the flying-type expelled a wind of flames in the direction of the Diglett blocking the cave entrance. [ILLIDAN used HEAT WAVE!]

Now, it was time to rapidly cool the Steel-types. Rearing back, the chimera began to charge energy from the pinned fin upon its head. [TYPE: NULL used ICY WIND!]

Meanwhile [ZORUA used FAKE TEARS!] Perhaps the distraction would be useful.

Although, regarding this, I do hope you don't put brackets and bold words when executing a move. I would much rather see a description of the move being performed, with its name being said or not. This kind of thing kind of makes it jarring to read when reading the battle. Although, it does break it up nicely, that is not something we'll be looking at in the RP. XD

 

[Le Marsouin]

*Axew appears to look a bit fretful while panicking*

I'm almost done with my bios, I just had some stuff to do today!

 

[Ninian]

That's fine. It's a required thing in another RP I'm in to make battles not take 50 years, but I can do whatever.

 

[Merciless Medic]

I should give little context to my sample. One country blantantly attacks another, Elizabeth and her older brother Kiran are children of a third country’s king. Elizabeth figures out that her brother is going to border of all three countries to rally the troops of their country to go to war.

It is from a Fire Emblem RP. I mention basara in it couple times. A Basara is a class from Fire Emblem that wields magic and lances.

Spoiler: RP Sample

Elizabeth left abruptly after Kiran told her his plan. The basara ran up the long winding staircase up to her wing of the castle. “Princess, what are you doing?” a voice from behind asked. She stopped dead in her tracks. She knew that voice, it was the voice of her Retainer, Ashei. Ashei was childhood friend of hers. He wasn’t a strong warrior, good servant, or a competent person in general, so Othello was hesitant on letting Ashei be his only daughter’s retainer.


“I’m just preparing to go to festival in a town to southern border with few friends,” Elizabeth said, her face was racked with guilt for having just blatantly lied to Ashei’s face.


“Oh, what festival?” Ashei proded. His brow furrowed in suspicion.


“Just a small festival that you’ve probably never heard of,” Elizabeth said, as she backed towards the large oak door to her room.


“Wait, Princess, I assure you, if it exists I’ve probably heard of it before, I get around a lot,” Ashei stated, he noticed Elizabeth was growing increasingly nervous,” You’re not lying to me are you?”


“No, I’m just in bit of hurry, my friends should be leaving soon, No if you’d excuse me, I have to go,” Elizabeth said as she pushed through the doors.


She quickly gathered her things, her Iron lance, thunder tome, extra clothes, and her down pillow, because she simply couldn’t go sleep without it. She fastened her lance to her bag and filled it with her stuff. The princess slung the bag around her shoulder and sprinted towards the door and made her way back down the winding stairs.


When Elizabeth sprinted through the door, Ashei noticed she had her lance. “Wait Princess, why do you have-,” Elizabeth ran away before Ashei could speak.


Elizabeth found Kiran and his retainers and exclaimed,” Are we all ready to go, We shouldprobably hurry, Bandits would eat royals like us alive if were caught during nightfall.”

Frey slowly began to grin at his opponents words. This guy might actually have some skill. He thought to himself. Refusing to let Klein have any recognition of that, Frey turned his slight grin back to a straight face. Uncliping one of his custom pokeballs, a light blue pokeball with a snowflake on it, a Frost ball, Frey tossed it out onto the natural field.

You both roleplay really well, but watch out for those grammar and spelling errors. Just a heads up. Otherwise, pretty good!

Interested! I guess the question is who I should use. Perfectly happy playing Colress/Seven or Gladion. Colress can either participate or be a non combatant I don’t really care either way. Gladion would definitely fight though.

*Axew hands a sample of his RPing skills beforehand after reading everything carefully*


I suppose I have been summoned again, and I could use a little break from my lovely Todoclor for an RP or two.

I would like to Axew a question before signing up.

So, I was wondering if I could use shadow Pokémon for the RP since they are an official part of Pokémon (though not a lot of people seem to know about this), and it would also add a unique experience to battling and such.

A young woman sat on the edge of the bed, still in her pajamas, watching intently on the information displayed on the screen. The entire city had been in a bit of an uproar since the discovery of the theft early this morning, prompting the Nacrene Police Department to be out and about, surveying the area and scouting for whatever information they could. So far, the amount was very scarce, with no leads popping up as to what had happened. Even though she had plans elsewhere, to leave the city now would be suspicious. She swung her legs, her toes feathering the carpet as he legs barely reached. It was interesting to her really- How something like this could've happened. Even if she was up from the north, Unova was still her home. It was painful to watch one of the highlights of beautiful Nacrene city become a crime scene.

She had been thinking about her decision to assist or not since hearing the news earlier, contemplating the whole ordeal over a quick breakfast. It was now Midday, and she had barely moved from her spot, too engrossed within the stories being played back on the television. Enough was enough. The woman got herself into gear, finally getting ready to go out. A shower, some makeup, and proper clothes was all it took for her to feel far more confident about the situation, mentally reassuring herself that she could be of use, and that she had the experience and evidence to prove it. Collecting her bag and Pokeballs from the chair they rested on, she made her way out, double-checking that she had locked her door.

All of you, as well, great job!

 

[Merciless Medic]

It's alright @Kibago XD I reserved you a spot.

And Ninian, I understand that. Describing the action should only take a sentence or two anyway, or maybe even as close to a four-sentence paragraph if you really want to get detailed.

 

[Ninian]

I'll go ahead and mirror whatever you guys end up doing! Anyway, I'm ready. Let's do this! :U
