A reminder: If you want to ask an RP thread creator if you can join their RP, do so in private - via conversation or profile messages - or via the thread's discussion thread, if one exists. Do NOT ask if you can join an RP on the RP thread itself! This leads to a lot of unnecessary OOC chatter and that's not what the RP boards are for.

This is clearly stated in our RP forum rules. If you've not read them yet, do so BEFORE posting anything in the RP forums. They may be found here (for Pokémon Role Play) or here (for General Role Play). Remember that the Global Rules of Pokécharms also apply in addition to these rule sets.
Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

Maia gazed out over the expanse of what used to be a thriving prairie or meadow that she knew would have been rich with wild Pokémon. Now, the lush grasses and bushes were black and dying from the unfiltered sunlight, some spots bare and cracked. Without any life to support it, the soil, now dust, blew with the wind and ash. She coughed as some of the particles in the air stuck to the walls in her throat. The absence of any life was heartbreaking. She looked back down at the black and dry leaves in her one of her hands, the other holding the rotting husk of a Pinap Berry.

Suddenly, Maia felt something nudge her hip. She looked down to see Absol watching her with a concerned expression. She smiled softly and dropped the fruit to kneel down and stroke the Pokémon on the head. Absol's expression softened, and he leaned into the touch. "Yeah, I know we should be getting inside," she told her partner quietly. She had found some fruit trees here a few weeks ago and come to harvest, but it looked like that hope had finally died out along with all of the other life in the area.

They turned away from the ravaged field and began to walk back towards the city, where she had left much of her supplies in an abandoned home. She could fly with Skarmory, but they had found that the higher they flew, the more unbearable the heat and debris became, so they stuck to ground travel if they could.

[QUOTE="DragonFlye, post: 411013, member: 224169"] Maia gazed out over the expanse of what used to be a thriving prairie or meadow that she knew would have been rich with wild Pokémon. Now, the lush grasses and bushes were black and dying from the unfiltered sunlight, some spots bare and cracked. Without any life to support it, the soil, now dust, blew with the wind and ash. She coughed as some of the particles in the air stuck to the walls in her throat. The absence of any life was heartbreaking. She looked back down at the black and dry leaves in her one of her hands, the other holding the rotting husk of a Pinap Berry. Suddenly, Maia felt something nudge her hip. She looked down to see Absol watching her with a concerned expression. She smiled softly and dropped the fruit to kneel down and stroke the Pokémon on the head. Absol's expression softened, and he leaned into the touch. "Yeah, I know we should be getting inside," she told her partner quietly. She had found some fruit trees here a few weeks ago and come to harvest, but it looked like that hope had finally died out along with all of the other life in the area. They turned away from the ravaged field and began to walk back towards the city, where she had left much of her supplies in an abandoned home. She could fly with Skarmory, but they had found that the higher they flew, the more unbearable the heat and debris became, so they stuck to ground travel if they could. [/QUOTE]
