Private/Closed CBTET

It has been two long years since the devastating conclusion to the famous evil team known as SSMR. After their almost successful take over of the Sinnoh region, they fell to the hands of various champions and some unlucky trainers who had been captured by them. The world has since then, gained peace. Zero tolerance has been placed upon anyone trying to gather up people for organizations, groups or anything that isn't registered with the local authorities. Although some religious groups didn't not like said approached, the crimes all over the world have dropped in a rapid rate, giving people the opportunity to not feel threatened and live in harmony. Not everyone is happy with this though.

Some former organizations that had their claws dug deep into the underworld, started to become hunted down by experienced trainers and Gym leaders. Some of the most famous, like Giovanni, have gone back to becoming Gym leaders and working for the community with the chance of being out on parole, limiting his movements to Viridian City only. Others, like Jupiter from Team Galactic have disappeared and are on the run, constantly being chased down with a bounty on their head. But, the remaining villains are but a small handful, estimated to be caught sooner than later. The Pokemon world, seems to be doomed to never have lasting peace, as a new threat looms in the dark.

Welcome back to the long awaited continuation guys, @RenzFlintrock , @ThePlayfulFox , @The Dark Fairy . Ready to suffer again?
 
Name: Renz Flintrock

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Hometown: Malie City, Alola

Trainer Class: Ace Trainer, Ground Specialist

Appearance:
Renz stands over 6ft tall, and is in good physical shape. He has dark brown (practically black) hair that is currently cut fairly short. His eyes are blue with green and brown flecks, and his skin is tanned from his years growing up under the Alolan sun. Upon one wrist is a white Z-Ring, and on the other is an old wrist watch of the same color. It no longer keeps perfect time, but runs several minutes behind. A faded decal of a stylistic Dialga is located right next to the watch’s face.
At the time of the story’s beginning, he is wearing a pair of navy blue jeans, a loose sky blue T-Shirt with a ‘World Tournament 20XX’ logo, and a belt with an attachment that holds three PokeBalls at a time.

Personality:
Renz is generally a fairly cheery and passionate individual, although he’s also a firm realist and recognizes that some things won’t go the way he hopes or plans for. He cares deeply about friends and family, and is loyal to a fault. He is usually friendly but somewhat introverted. While he always tries to be polite, in many cases he sticks to friends he’s already made, and focuses more on deepening bonds with them and ensuring they remain his friends rather than seeking out new ones. He is highly enthusiastic about battling, although he always prefer a match be on friendly terms, or at least not out of a necessity. He has strong bonds with his team, forged through hardship and triumph, and he cares about all of them. His greatest ambition in life has been to become a Gym Leader.

He avoids watching any sort of game show on television or the internet. He also dislikes people touching his Pokémon’s Pokéballs, with a few exceptions (Kathren, his parents, and possibly some of his friends from his... adventures, I suppose, in Sinnoh.) He also seems to have a fear of Spinda, although most people don’t know where this seemingly irrational phobia springs from. He also dislikes the sound of machines like lawnmowers and chainsaws, although this dislike is more bearable.


Backstory:
Renz was born in Malie City, Alola. His father, George, is a native of the area, passionate about exploring and finding interesting things. His mother, Terisa, comes from Kanto and took on the league challenge. They are both good people and raised Renz to be one as well. Renz’s family owns a trinket shop in Malie City’s shopping district, where they have an apartment above the shop. Renz grew up helping around the shop, attending school, and playing with the other kids. When he was 13, his parents gave him an egg for his birthday. His father had found it on a curio hunting trip in the Haina desert. When it hatched, he met his partner, Gible. After a time they set off on a journey in Alola, capturing a few Pokémon to join their team and taking on some of the Island Trials. Before long, Renz and his team would leave the region and go to Sinnoh to take part in the Gym Challenge there and begin the first step in the process of becoming a Gym Leader. However, while he was still in the region he met a very important person, later to become his closest friend: Kathren Tretoes. The two young trainers met in the Malie Gardens, and after dealing with runaway partner Pokémon together, they became friends.
The two traveled in Sinnoh together for a time, and in their journeys into the wilds they encountered a strange palace. Upon exploring further, they met Possibillit, the Spinda King. He demanded that the two bow down to him, and when the two trainers refused, they were swarmed by Spinda and knocked out. They spent several days in the Spinda Palace, more specifically in the dungeon. Renz was poisoned by some of the food brought to them, but the Spinda King wanted them intact. He punished the cook, an odd purple-spotted Spinda, with death by The Shredder. The horrified trainers managed to befriend a Litwik who acted as the candle in their cell and escape. They retrieved their Pokémon, ran past the Spinda inhabiting the castle and the duo of Typhlosion that stood guard at the gates, and fled into the forest. They had escaped, but it was not the last they were to see of the Spinda Army. Not long after, they rescued an injured Typhlosion, one of the guards that had unintentionally allowed the duo to escape. His leg had been brutally slashed and injured beyond repair by the Spinda King’s Shredder. They brought him to a Pokémon Center, the Nurse was able to heal him, but had to amputate the injured leg in order to save him.
Not long after, the Pokémon Center was attacked by some of the Spinda King’s forces, leaving Renz and Kathren to flee. The two had to go on the run, trying to stay under the radar to evade the Spinda King’s grasp. In time they went their separate ways, and although they stayed in touch remotely it was some time before they saw one another in person again. When they finally reunited, it was in the midst of crisis. An organization known as SSMR was in the process of taking over the Sinnoh region, and Renz had been caught up in an effort to stop them alongside some new friends and allies. In the process of one of their missions, they just happened to run into Kathren, and she was swept along with the group. The adventure was odd, including entering a virtual reality in which the group had to combat digital versions of themselves with opposite personalities. But despite the group’s best efforts, they were captured by SSMR late on Halloween night.
After three months of solitary captivity, the members of the group were re-united in a specially made cell that resembled a large apartment. Their captors had turned their lives into entertainment, watching their activities as if it were a sitcom and sometimes forcing them into various tortuous events, including but not limited to: acting like pet Pokémon, going on a date with the Grunt of the Month, and performing a talent show in pajamas. Eventually they were rescued from their prison and Sinnoh was freed. Things returned to normal for most people. But it left lasting effects on the group. Both Renz and Kathren ended up more damaged than before by their experiences with the SSMR. One good thing did come of their time in captivity, though. Kathren finally gained the courage to confess her romantic feelings towards Renz.
Now the two are in a relationship. Kathren is back at her home in Johto, attending school to get herself set up for her career. Renz has taken a position as a Gym Aide under Giovanni (very hesitantly, considering the man is a formal criminal, albeit the greatest Ground type specialist the world has seen) at the Viridian City Gym, working on the internship requirement for his attempt to become a Gym Leader. He visits Kathren over the weekends, and spends the rest of the week with his maternal grandparents at ‘Marleen Mansion’.

I have returned. It all comes full circle, right back to the place where my career as a competent roleplayer began...

And thus it begins again. *ominous laughter*
 
Alright, let's do this one more time:
Name: Azumi Towers
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance: Long wavy light blonde hair, 5'3 and about 120 lbs, Dark blue eyes and healthy light skin. She always has a clean and neat air about her, her hair, even when she wakes up, looks like it has been cared for by experts. She has an athletic body but you wouldn't notice it at first glance. Her nails are never painted but they are always a bit long and shiny clean.
Background: Azumi is one of the daughters of the Towers family. They are known in Kalos for being wealthy due to Mr. Towers finding treasures in his prime days of being an explorer. The family is located in Azure Bay Kalos, having originated from Johto before Azumi was born. She has a twin sister, Maker, who she loves to death but has a difficult relationship with her. Azumi also has an older brother, Ron, who was born in Goldenrod city before they moved to Kalos. Unfortunately the Towers family suffered a terrible blow when Azumi's mother died on a trip to Johto, during the Rocket take over. The event flipped the family, Maker began lashing out against Azumi, while Ron got a terrible rivalry with his father, who went into depression and left his children to fend for themselves. This resulted in Ron leaving his house in search for his mother's killer, while Azumi took over the leadership of the household at 11 years old. Caring for her sister made them get an uneasy relationship, getting worse over time. After a few years Mr. Towers picked up the slack, but his family had fallen apart. Maker left home at 15, looking to make a name for herself and not having to depend on her sister while Azumi stayed home until she turned 16.

This is where this rp comes in. At the age of 16, Azumi got captured by an organization taking over Kalos, Luminouse city to be precise. During this encounter her Pokemon got taken away and she was forced to do missions for them. During one missions she managed to escape along with a group of people who would become close friends, including Ray, who she became romantically involved with later on. After escaping, coming up with a plan and rescuing her Pokemon, with the help of Maker, team Rocket and the Kalos league, they managed to free Kalos.

This didn't end there, for Azumi once again found herself in trouble two years later. She had became the youngest detective, at the age of 21 and living together with Ray in Veilstone city. During a friendly visit with her sister and friends, things blew up with the SSMR starting their control over Sinnoh. With the help of her sister, gym leaders and champions from all over the world, they managed to take down the evil organization, rescuing Maker and their new friends like Eli, Renz and Kathren.

The last two years have been going bad for Azumi though. Shortly after rescuing her sister, Maker disappeared. Azumi gave everything up searching for her, losing her job and relationship in the process. Even her relationship with some of her Pokemon crumbled. She's been searching for her for two years, taking small jobs wherever she is as a private investigator. She got her license as a favor from her former boss and now travels around looking for clues for her sister, solving small shady cases and keeping herself from crumbling. She has finally arrived to Goldenrod, where her sister was last seen.
