(Since my last RP featuring disabled pokemon trainers didn't go so well even though I really liked the idea, I figured that I would reboot it. Hopefully, some people will actually want to RP here this time)
The world of Pokémon is a diverse and beautiful land, home to pokemon which come in all different varieties. This is also true for the people who live and work with them, placing their trust, their dreams, and even their lives in the hands of pokemon. In Kalos, there lives a group of talented young men and women, who like many others, are aiming to become the Kalos Queen, or pokemon masters, or top coordinators. They are just your average trainers; the only difference between them and all the others, is that they are all disabled in some way. They do not want to be called 'inspirational', nor do they want to be seen as 'helpless'. All they truly want is to be the best at whichever path they have chosen to take.
(Now, here are the rules:
1.) Your character MUST be disabled in some way or another.
2.) You can have one starter pokemon, and no more than one shiny. You can also have a service pokemon, if you like. A service pokemon is a pokemon which has been specially trained to help its master, usually by someone other than its master. For example, you could have a chansey pushing a paraplegic trainer's wheelchair, or a mightyena or other dog-like pokemon being used as a guide pokemon, for a blind trainer. Be realistic, though; a particularly small pokemon, like eevee, could not be used to push a wheelchair, for example, because it is too small and does not have the strength to push.
3.) Any disability is allowed, physical or mental.
4.) Aside from this, standard rules apply)
(Now, here's the character sheet. I will use my character as an example)
Name: Daniel
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Trainer class: Coordinator (Your character can be whatever you like; performer, coordinator, or trainer)
Pokémon: Serperior (Male), Mightyena (Female), Shiny honchkrow (Male), Plusle (Female) Lopunny (Female), and Machoke (Male)
Service pokemon: (If your character has a service pokemon, explain what they do for your character): Lopunny, who is trained to push his wheelchair, and pop his joints back into place when they dislocate (Which happens very often). She was trained by a breeder, who specialises in training pokemon to help the disabled, and then bought for Daniel by his mother.
Disability: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Daniel has loose, unstable joints which dislocate easily, as well as chronic pain, due to this condition. He also needs to use a wheelchair.
(Onto the RP)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Please give a big hand to today's inspirational winner, Daniel Diaz! This brave young man is truly an inspiration to us all!"
Ugh. Was it possible to use 'inspiration' that many times in a congratulatory speech? Was it legal? Daniel reckoned that the presenter of the Vaniville Town pokemon contest ought to be jailed for abusing the word. He was in a wheelchair, and he'd won a contest. Big whoop. Oh, wait. She was to play to the cameras, wasn't she? That presenter had to present a disabled coordinator succeeding at what he did as some inspirational feat, to make everyone feel all warm and fuzzy, all the while making a spectacle over Daniel's wheelchair, and not over the fact that he had won the contest by miles. His opponent's minccino had been no match at all for his machoke.
"Lopunny, the pokemon centre, please. Mum texted just now, to say that she sent me a package. Nurse Joy's been holding it for me."
The rabbit pokemon pushed him at a brisk pace, until the automatic doors of the pokemon centre swung open, to welcome them.
