RP Discussion

It was a bright early morning in New Bark Town. Some of the people of the small town are already getting started with their morning routines as they get started with their day. We find ourselves at the home of one of the new trainers starting their journey. "Oh, come on just stay down stupid hair" groaned a boy who was trying his hardest to brush down a strand of hair that wouldn't go down after awhile of trying he managed to get it down only for it to pop back up. Seeing this caused the boy's eye to twitch as he quickly grabbed a pair of scissors planning to cut the rebellious strand just before he processed to cut he could hear something giggling at his misfortune he quickly understood what was going on as he had a deadpan look on his face.

"Misdreavus I know it's you messing with me" the boy called out to what appeared to be no one. A few seconds later a ghost with red orbs around its neck appeared beside the boy still giggling. "I thought I told you to stop playing trick on me like that" the boy scolded the ghost pokemon who processed to lovingly rub its head against the boys, "Alright, alright fine I forgive you" Misdrevus let out a happy cry as it followed it's master downstairs. "Ok. Mom I'm off to Professor Elm's Lab" the boy said as he gave his mom a quick hug as he made his way towards the door.

"Kay, Zane just promise me you'll be safe on your journey" Zane's mother told her son as she watched him and his pokemon make their way out of the house.

After a while of walking Zane found himself standing outside of Professor Elm's Lab. "Ready Misdreavus the start of our journey begins now" Zane said as he took a deep breath to calm his nerves as he made his way inside. To say he was shocked to say the least as he saw the lab had random books everywhere Zane tried his best to fight the urge to clean up the mess as he continued to walk deeper into the lab where he saw a man patiently waiting.

"I take it you're one of the new trainers here to receive a starter am I right" Professor Elm said while adjusting his glasses.

"That's right I am Professor" Zane said as he followed the older man to a machine that housed three pokeballs.

“I planned on giving you one of the lab Pokemon to help you start your journey but it would seem that it wouldn’t be needed. Seeing as you alright have a partner you're almost ready to officially start all you need is these.” Professor Elm smiled as he held out a tray with five empty pokeballs. “Zane you mind if I see your Rotom Phone for a minute.”

“Umm, sure thing Professor” Zane said, handing Elm his phone watching as the man hooked it up to his computer. After a little while of waiting Professor Elm handed the phone back to him.

“Alright, I just uploaded the Pokedex program onto your phone. With this you should be able to learn about any Pokemon you encounter by scanning them. You can learn even more by catching them like their ability or moves they might know.” Elm explained, as he and Zane walked back to the entrance of the lab.

“Thanks Professor,” Zane said, giving Elm a wave goodbye as he started to make his way out of New Bark Town. Making his way down the dirty path of Route 29 enjoying the nice breeze.
 
"Blue, Tora, come on out!" Riley shouted as his Pokemon exited their PokeBalls. His Nidorina and Persian stretching themselves as though they had been cooped up in a small, enclosed space for a long time. Tora was an interesting specimen of a Persian, seeing as he barely looked like one in the first place; what with his bobtail, muscular build, and long saber teeth. Riley had taken to calling Tora a Primal Persian, partly because he found out it was Rock/Fighting type, but mostly because of how he evolved. Tora was an oddball of a Meowth because he could use Ancient Power, which is what Riley believes to have been the catalyst for this form.
In any event, after his Pokemon finished stretching, the two of them came over to Riley practically begging for attention. "Ok guys, settle down." Sitting down on a large boulder, Riley started petting the two of them. The three of them were currently on Route 29, just relaxing. That is, until Riley saw Zane coming down the road. "Hello fellow trainer, what brings you here?"

Zane was in the middle of taking a photo of a few Pidgey that were resting in a nearby tree. "Alright, almost got it. All I have to do is take it nice and slow then I'll have my perfect picture." Zane said, staining a little as he held his Rotom Phone in a weird angle to get the best photo, "Almost got it just have to press the button hey what's that behind the Pidgey." Squinting his eyes Zane could see a shadowy figure appear behind the tiny birds. When he noticed the familiar red eyes his eyes widened in realization before he could call out. Misdreavus let out a loud scream startling the poor bird pokemon causing them to fly away. "Wait, don't go come back!" Zane cried out as he fell to his knees defeated Misdreavus made her way back to her now crestfallen master still snickering at her prank.

Zane stayed like that for a couple of minutes when he heard someone calling out to him. Turning his head in the direction of where the voice was coming from he saw another trainer sitting on top of a large boulder. Making his way towards the boulder he saw the trainer was in the middle of petting a Nidorina and a very strange Persian. "Hello," Zane greeted back with a small wave and smile, "Well, I'm just passing through as I make my way to Cherrygrove City" Zane explained.
 
Seeing Zane's Misdreavus hovering next to him, Tora roared. The sudden noise startled Riley and Blue as they fell off the boulder. "Ouch, was that really necessary Tora?" Pushing himself off the ground, Riley dusted himself off. "I hope Tora didn't scare you. I'm Riley Grant from Cerulean City, Kanto." Riley reached offered a hand to Zane in greeting as he introduced himself.
 
Zane took a cautious step back as the large cat suddenly roar. "No, it didn't scare me but it definitely took me but surprise is all. Living with a ghost type you get use to being startled from time to time" Zane reassured the other trainer with a smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you Tora my name's Zane Niles and this is my partner Misdreavus" Zane said, introducing himself and the ghost floating right next to him. "Wait didn't you say were from Cerulean City I've always wanted to go there is it true that your local gym specialize in Water-Type Pokemon?"
 
"Yep, Misty is a Water Type specialist." Confirming Zane's question, Riley started petting Tora with his mechanical hand to calm him down. It was not long before the prehistoric feline began purring from the attention. "Good boy."
Looking back to Zane, Riley asked. "So, is that Misdreavus your only Pokemon?"

"Yup, Misdreavus is currently my only Pokemon I have but I'm sure I'll added on my journey" Zane replied with a small as he scratched under the ghost's chin, "I don't know if you want but you're free to join me on my way to Cherrygrove City." Zane suggested as he adjusted his backpack strap as he started to make his way back onto the dirt path.
 
"Sure, not like I have anything better to do." Grabbing his walking stick, Riley looked at his Pokemon. "You two wanna walk or ride?"
Desiring some rest, Tora walked over to Riley, returning himself to his PokeBall. Blue on the other hand wished to walk with her trainer and rubbed against his pant leg. "Alright, ready when you are."

As Dom walked through the clearing in the forest, he could finally see his goal. Cherry grove city.

“PHEW, that was a long walk.” Dom sighed to himself.

Illua, Doms partner Pokemon barked in agreement.

“Well, should we get some rest at the Pokémon center now? Or should we find something to eat…” He sighed as his stomach grumbled.

Illua gave Dom a stern look.

“Yeah yeah, I know my money is running low, but it’s more important for me to get Pokémon food for you guys.” He laughed.

Illua sighed and shook its head. It began sniffing the air and began walking.

“Hm? Smell something nice?” Dom said, following behind.

Illua led Dom to a small Soba stand on the other side of town.

“You always knew my favorites, huh Illua.” Dom smiled softly at his partner Pokémon.

He remembered the day he met Illua. It was in high school. Dom had very few friends, but he had always felt more at peace in the hidden garden in Castelia city. One day the worst delinquent at his school discovered Dom in the garden, and tried to start a fight. Dom only had one Pokémon at the time, and the battle was lost swiftly, and it was down to fight or flight. That was until a large man jumped down inbetween the two, and protected Dom. The delinquent ran away, but what he didn’t notic was the small bushy tail. The man turned into the Pokémon Zorua, and they had been together ever since.




“Man this is good!” Dom said, eating the spicy soba noodles.

He looked towards the route that led to Nee Bark town, and wondered what kind of trainers he would meet on his journey.
 
Rene Spears, Route 29.

"Route 29! Here I am scouting for the next big trainer, could it be a mono type like the amazing Karen or Bruno? Maybe a Dragon Master like Lance or maybe even an iron heart like Jasmine!" The red headed girl held up her phone, holding out her arm to record as much as herself as she could. "Johto has so much potential and it is rivals with the neighboring region, Kanto. Only time can tell if there will be a strong trainer brewing in this beautiful ancient region. This is Rene from the Galar Pokemon Trainer Fan Club, reporting from Route 29!" She smiled as the recording stop and it began to upload to social media.

"Isn't this awesome, Panpan?" She eagerly starred at the screen as the video uploaded while her Phanpy ran in circles around her. "Rene, the best trainer scouter in the world, Keen Eye Rene, oh I can't wait till we discover some new talent. Who knows, we might find the new champion or something similar. And of course, I, Rene Spears, will be their number one fan and agent. Right, Panpan?"

The Phanpy stopped to look up and smile at his trainer, before taking into another few laps running in circles around her. The video finally uploaded, which seemed to give Rene a second of relief. She put her Rotom Phone away and looked around the area, scouting Route 29. She had never actually scouted trainers before, in fact, she wasn't sure how to discover a strong trainer. She just had a feeling that one day she would find a trainer nobody knew about and she wanted to be there to experience their journey to the top. It was also a good excuse to meet a lot of her idols, like Whitney, Jasmine and Claire.

"Remember Panpan, if we meet someone who we think might be a good trainer, we have to battle them to test their skills, okay?"

The Phanpy chirped joyfully and they both began making their way down Route 29, eager to find out what talent laid hidden within Johto.
