"The Ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination, and brings eternal joy to the soul"
- Robert Wyland
Alola is one, if not the most, mysterious regions of the Pokémon world, and for good reason. No gyms, a league that's years in the making, variations that couldn't be found anywhere else in the world, but most of all, the Ultra Beasts.
Although, that's not the focus. After all, an island should be the home of discovery, but also a way to soften the soul and relax the mind; take any worries away and whisk them into a delightful concoction of fun and entertainment.
People from all over the world are coming for this event- the Ocean's Journey games. A four day tournament in which participates take four of their most qualified Pokémon and flies, swims, runs, and climbs their way around Alola's four islands. And while only Alola residents can claim the reward, a chance to become the first official, full time, permanent elite four member, plenty of people from other regions participate too. The competition has been a popular way to get to know the Alola region at a very low cost- you only have to pay to get there. April 15th through the 30th- fifteen days to hunt for clues and battle your way through the region; fifteen days to make it to the Battle tree and successfully complete the challenge there. It's harder than you think it is though- concoctions are to be made, charms to be crafted, poke balls to be thrown, eggs to be hatched, stones to be collected, and battles to be won. Satisfy the wants of each of the Trial captains, and then attempt to progress to each island in a preset order. Each evening, a battle competition will be held on each island, and everyone in that island has a chance to gain a critical clue to how to complete one of this island tasks.
Starting on Melemele's Hau'oli city, how will you fare?
Fifteen days of the challenge
Ten Z crystals to be awarded
Five days until disaster
One day to try and survive
How will you fare, when the ocean's wrath spreads to dry ground?
This is Ask to Join for now- just post a bio below and I'll approve it. However, please heed the expectations of this role play.
* 2-3 well written paragraphs per post please! It does not need to be English class worthy, and I won't die if there are spelling errors, but please use capitals and use basic grammar! It'll drive me insane if we don't have that.
* I'm going to ask that you all will bear with my busy schedule and not ask when the next post will be brought up.
* There will be a (flexible) posting order to prevent leaving someone behind
* Please don't tell someone else that they did something terribly wrong in their post- if I see something that doesn't seem right I'll alert the author.
* Dont expect your character to win and be all mighty in this competition, mostly because the competition will be disrupted halfway through
* Be reasonable in battle, battle posts can be hard, especially with other role players, but be reasonable please.
Other than that, I look forward to traversing the oceans with you.

Brief backstory: (Not necessary for the hatched Pokémon)
Name: Chloe Astri
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance:
A slender woman of 5"6. Chloe prefers to keep her brown hair loose, but occasionally she will pull it back into a messy ponytail or loose bun, not to mention the wisps of baby hairs that always seem to frizz up and fly into her face. Her eyes are a hazel, blueish color, and she was teased for not making up her mind when it's comes to eye color. Aside from that, she generally adorns herself with loose and light clothing to prevent overheating in the island sun. Generally she has on a light blue t-shirt that she ties a knot in a few inches above her belly button and has on white jean shorts. Chloe's doesnt like shoes, but when she has them on, they're normally hiking books. She also seems to like to be light on accessories, so the brown messenger bag is the only thing she'll wear aside from a feathered necklace that she got from her mother.
Personality:
Chloe comes off as a rude, immodest girl at most times, but in moments when shes nervous or experiencing something new, she'll become a lot less vocal and become significantly more polite. However, on the flip side, she can be slightly vulgar and sarcastic. People find her train of thought hard to follow, and most times that leave her in a pickle due to her inability to find a way to accomplish her goal. Speaking of goals, she wasn't an extremely bright student in school, but she has a knack for raising and battling pokemon, and she aims for the Elite four member spot in Alolan ranks. Despite her confident shell, Chloe can be slightly doubtful of herself, but generally she'll get over it within seconds and return to her rash decision making ways.
Home Region and Town: Seafolk Village, Poni Island, Alola
Other notes/features: She has a weird scar on the back of her left calf due to an accident with a Syther when she was younger.
Pokémon
Pokémon species: Milotic
Name: Mira
Gender: Female
Personality:
Mira is Chloe's traveling mother, and is an extremely kind Pokémon. The serpent will never leave Chloe's side, but will refuse to battle if she feels like something will harm Chloe. When serious though, Mira is a force to be reckoned with, and usually helps Chloe with sea travel.
Identifying marks: Mira's horn is chipped at the top as a result of a battle
Brief backstory: Mira was once Chloe's father's Pokémon, but she was gifted to the girl after the father left to become a businessman in Paniola town. The Milotic was caught as a Feebas then evolved later during her Father's journey.
Pokémon species: Vulpix (Alolan)
Name: Shiver
Gender: Female
Personality:
Shiver is a recently hatched Vulpix who loves to play. The tiny ice type can be difficult to manage due to her spontaneous actions and boundless energy, but she's learning to be a good battler, and can hold her own against stronger opponents with a type disadvantage.
Identifying marks: Shiver loves the small NeverMeltIce crystal that hangs around her neck
Brief backstory: Shiver hatched from an egg gifted from Ula' Ula island. The small ice type came on a visitor, and Chloe was eager to take the egg off his hands when he said he couldn't take care of it. Shiver hatched in Poni Vast Canyon during a Syther attack, so in order to protect the hatching egg, Chloe let her calf be cut in exchange for the Vulpix's safety. Connor used his Mudsdale to get out of the situation, and everything turned out ok.
Pokémon species: Salazzle
Name: Sarin
Gender: Female
Personality:
The bratty, ignorant one. Sarin was also a gift to Chloe, but the poison type never wanted to listen to her. After the Scyther incident, one she was fighting in, she gained more respect for Chloe and found that listening to her made the battles more fun, but nonetheless, she still amuses herself with disobedience and pranks.
Identifying marks: None
Brief backstory:
A gift from Connor after his visit to Wela Volcano park. She took part in the Syther batter in Poni Vast Canyon, but due to her lack of response, she ended up getting Chloe hurt and endangering Shiver. Since then, she's changed her ways and grown to be the strongest on Chloe's team.
Pokémon species: Popplio
Name: Aniki
Gender: Female
Personality:
Aniki is a very stubborn, uptight Pokémon. She wants everything to be perfect for her and for things to go exactly according to plan. That attitude doesn't mix well with Chloe's. However, Aniki finds joy in praise, so she strives to trust Chloe in order to be of use. She's good friends with Shiver.
Identifying marks: Her tail is extremely large for her species
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance:
