"Test, test... Hello, yes? Does this thing work? Wait, what do you mean we're already recording? Um, hello there, and congratulations right off the bat! The reason you're seeing this video in your mailbox, is because you've been accepted to study in our prestigious Gym Leader Academy! My name's Alder, ex-Unova Champion and principal of this academy! Here, we will teach you everything you need to know to become a full-fledged Gym Leader! Our academy is located in the Strega region, which is found right between the Sinnoh and Unova regions!
We will have ships docking in Vermilion City, Olivine City, Slateport City, Canalave City, Castelia City and Coumarine City on the 28th of August, so make sure you're there! The boats will bring you to the port of Strega, and from there on it isn't far to the academy anymore! Normally, there should be a map attached to the mail to help you navigate... It was attached, right? Good. I wish all of you a pleasant trip, and hope to see you at the academy!"
Hello and welcome to Strega: Gym Leader Academy! This roleplay will be held in a small fictional region called Strega. A map is coming soon. I promise.
And now for some rules, because every roleplay needs them.
And now with that out of the way, time to take a look at the sign-up sheet.
And the currently accepted characters with their rightful types...
That's all for now. Evolving and levelling will be covered later on. Thank you for reading through all of this, and I hope to see you in the RP soon!

Hello and welcome to Strega: Gym Leader Academy! This roleplay will be held in a small fictional region called Strega. A map is coming soon. I promise.
After leaving his title as Unova Champion to young Iris, Alder had been travelling around all the different regions. Something had been bothering him for a long time. Gym Leaders were able to be defeated by trainers that had only just started out. In Alder's opinion, there was something wrong with that. And so he started building the Gym Leader Academy in the region of Strega with a clear goal in mind. To create new and more powerful Gym Leaders.
However, a sinister group in Strega has been watching his activities very closely. Team Void, a group that wants nothing more than anarchy in the whole world, sees the Gym Leaders as immediate threats to their goal. However, instead of defeating the 'old' Gym Leaders, they have settled for a long-term goal. To destroy the academy and thus the new Gym Leaders.
You are one of the first accepted students in Alder's newly built academy, so now school life will be starting for you again! Will you study hard, or rather slack off with some friends? Oh, but don't forget. Team Void could be lurking anywhere...

And now for some rules, because every roleplay needs them.
General Rules
1. All the rules from Pokécharms are in effect here. This includes both the general and subtopic rules.
2. No bunnying. This means controlling other RP'ers' actions. Forcing them to take a hit from you, making them follow you... These are all forms of bunnying.
3. No Mary Sues. Your character isn't able to jump over buildings or run like Usain Bolt, and your Pokémon won't win every battle they are in.
4. Be friendly, or at least try to. If you constantly go around insulting others, you can and will get kicked. This is one of the most important rules to me. Break it, and you won't get a second chance.
5. Be creative. We've in a forum about roleplaying. Posts that are ten words long are not appreciated. At least try to put some effort in when writing in the IC thread.
OC rules
1. No legendaries. They're unlikely to even appear in the story.
2. No mega's. This may change in the future.
3. No shinies. Not even one.
4. As a wannabe Gym Leader, your team must be focused on the training of one specific type, but you're allowed to catch two Pokémon that are of a different type. No more.
5. Pokémon with slightly altered appearances are allowed. Slightly, meaning that an Oshawott's scalchop may be a darker shade of yellow, but your Oshawott isn't supposed to be twice as big as a normal one, or black-and-white colored. Keep it realistic.
6. Ditto, Smeargle, Unown, Wobbuffet, Wynaut, Shedinja and Phione are banned overall.
7. Magikarp, Feebas and Beldum are banned as starters.
8. Fossil Pokémon, Beldum, Spiritomb, Rotom, Castform, Porygon, Porygon2 and Porygon-Z may not be caught in the wild.
9. Your starter Pokémon must correspond to the region you are from. A trainer from Johto, Sinnoh or Kalos may have a Houndour as a starter, a trainer from Kanto, Hoenn or Unova may not. The regional Pokédexes used to reference this are those from Red/Blue/Green/Yellow/Fire Red/Leaf Green in Kanto, Heart Gold/Soul Silver in Johto, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire in Hoenn, Platinum in Sinnoh, Black 2/White 2 in Unova and X/Y in Kalos.
10. A Pokémon may know up to 6 moves each in this RP. The moves may be freely chosen from all possible moves the Pokémon can learn in ORAS. This means level-up, transfer, TM/HM, tutor... However, if I deem a move to be too broken, I'll ask you through PM to change it.
11. Pokémon may know moves they aren't able to normally, as long as it makes sense. A Staraptor using Acrobatics is ok, a Magmar using Hydro Pump isn't. If you're planning on doing this, PM me beforehand with the move and the Pokémon that you want to learn it.
12. Last but not least, no Fakemons, fused Pokémon, crossbred Pokémon, Delta Pokémon or Shadow Pokémon.
