@Max Million Just to confirm, but do you want to play as the Ferrothorn and Rattata, or do you want Godjacob and ThAtGuY101 to play as them?
Just asking considering we don't want to accidentally auto anything lmfao.
Just asking considering we don't want to accidentally auto anything lmfao.
I don't actually mind. I think though Ferrothorn would want to be returned to their botanist owner in Unova, whilst Rattata, it's up in the air. They would probably want to be with a new trainer.
What's everyones plans then?
I was just making sure Godjacob and ThAtGuY101 can RP as them with your permission, lmfao.
Plan is to take the Pokemon, maybe have Amber help us (she's gotta give us a reason to stick around us, but being "just wanna be with a group going through Orange League" is good enough), and then we go back to going through the Orange League, lol.
Alriiighty~
After Godjacob and ThAtGuY101 posts, I'll make a post. I'll even detail some of the things the police do in keeping Michiko there, processing her, and an Interpol agent arriving.
As for Mahou, Reggie will keep him with him for now. He doesn't know Amber, so won't be too keen on giving Mahou up until she proves herself in the group and if Mahou wants to turn over to her (it's gonna be really emotional on Reggie's end lmfao, he gets attached way too quickly). But yeah, just wanted to give some kind of a disclaimer as to what's gonna happen next :3

Don't worry, Reggie can keep Mahou!
Sorry to double post, but @Godjacob can now control Nezumi the Rattata, though he'll probably want a new nickname. Here are some details about what he knows if Adrianne choose to keep him:
-His ability is Guts.
-His held item is a Focus Sash, which he proudly wears on his forehead.
-His known moves are Quick Attack, Endeavor, Crunch, Super Fang, Focus Energy.
Have fun with him!

@Max Million
Is there any information you can give about the Venus Plant? lol, I'm afraid it's so rare that no one knows of its existence. XD So I can't really help guide us there. Maybe there's clues or something? Plus, if I recall, your botanist is on a different island, and I don't know if they'll be in Tangelo Island soon. For something that Skiploom is afflicted with - depending on the Pokemon that damaged it - an antitoxin should be enough but waiting to go on a wild goose chase could prove to be fatal if Skiploom doesn't get the treatment for her injury soon.

Here are some clues:
-Maybe you can get Amber to recall what kinds of Pokémon attacked her if you sit her down and get rid of her anxiety.
-The Venus Plant sounds like where it comes from
-The Orange Islands have been known to have many incidents with different forms of Pokemon over the years. Pokémon of a different colour or size are the two most well known.
-Few people inhabit Fairchild Island for some reason. There are rumours of giant Pokémon there.
-There will be books or passed on tales from the few about incidents relating to where the plant comes from that aren’t directly described.
-In the anime, there was a particular episode where Ash and friends went to South Mandarin Island’s capital city and went into the sewers. I’m trying to link this and the Fairchild island stories together a bit.
-Be on the look out for various news stories! I’m planning on having an event soon where the botanist will discover more.
-Presumably at least some people travelling on the islands have experienced this red virus.
-Amber is okay handing Skiploom over to Nurse Joy. If you feed it various herbs and potions, that should barely be enough to keep it alive…but Flora is withering away.
-The botanist will discover more. He is a grass type specialist who will be fully introduced later.
I'm just gonna do this by points lol
1) Nurse Joy asked Amber in my post, but not sure if that anxiety thing will be fixed from that. When Reggie is busy finishing up with Mahou, he'll spend more time helping Amber.
2) Venus Plant could literally sound like it would come from anywhere. xD Unless you're expecting us to find a giant Venusaur on Fairchild Island.
3) If they are known for having this many incidents, it's likely Nurse Joy would know then.
4) LOL probably because the giant Pokemon are highly territorial and don't take kindly to seeing humans on their island.
5) That sounds very vague and this sounds like something that's very niche. If that's the case (and from my own personal experience trying to find niche content on the internet), trying to find something you don't know the exact title for would make it extremely difficult to look it up with appropriate search results, much less even finding it. Unless Adrianne would know since she's a local.
6) I do remember that episode, and I'm assuming that the Bulbasaur got too big and had to be moved to Fairchild as the mayor still didn't want it or couldn't care for it on Mandarin South anymore.
7) That pretty much expects Reggie and the others to be looking up news, which thankfully Reggie does every once in a while and would do so if he tasks himself with Amber's Skiploom's problem. In the current moment, while he would like to help, he doesn't know how he could help. I'll have to help with that via Nurse Joy.
8 ) Even if this is somewhat rare yet new, they'd likely have research already on it. But due to ongoing research, those who aren't in those science fields wouldn't know where to find that information unless they know what to search for (which, by personal experience, is a bit difficult and you have to sift through scientific jargon to know what you're even reading).
9) This sounds like a timed thing. If they have to go to Fairchild Island, that might take a week or two from Tangelo Island, and that doesn't even account for the amount of days it'll take to get the Venus Plant (wherever that may be, or if the Venusaur just creates a concoction that they can bottle and bring it back, because I don't know how viable it would be to bring the Venusaur to Tangelo Island without catching it and considering it's still owned by the mayor or has an even lesser catch rate due to its sheer size, they wouldn't be able to easily), and then you have to account for the 1-2 weeks trek back. Especially because I don't think there's a lab with a functioning teleport to send over small items, if teleporting it over to the Pokemon Center won't tamper its effectiveness. And that's not including if we have to go to Mandarin South (hopefully we don't, but I have no idea what you're planning).
If you want the Skiploom to live, I would suggest that the Pokemon has at least a month to live if you want us to barely make it. Plus, we can't use Mahou's Teleport because he's too weak to go that far and doing that for 4 people there and back might just end up killing him. Especially if he's barely able to focus with his psychic abilities considering he just used up a bunch of his energy that day.
10) Our characters have no idea who he looks like or where he is, so I don't know how they can find each other, lol. Unless they just so happen to cross paths, which is an odd coincidence, but yeah.
Basically, if you want to introduce us to a plot in RP, I would suggest letting us know what you're planning so we can figure out how to insert our characters in to help move (or hinder, lol) the plot forward. This is especially important considering Adrianne is the most novice trainer there and it's difficult to get someone who is that new to being a trainer to have some weight in the plot without some prior planning, and I don't think that's fun for Godjacob to basically be pulled along a plot his character has barely any say in due to how new his character is. That'll just be him basically reacting to everything that's happened. Plus, it's so I can plan on what's going to happen with Reggie's Pokemon if we're taking a short break from the Orange League to do this side quest.
I think it would be better if we did this in a Conversation/PM, either on Pokecharms or Discord, so we can talk about this further. :3
Sorry if that sounded really professional or whatever, I swear you're not in trouble, I just want to have some planning first - or at least seeing what you're cooking up so we have a better idea of what to do later - before we continue so we know what we're getting ourselves into.
Hi guys!
I'm going through some difficulties at the moment. Not sure if or when I will be able to post. If you need to move on without me, go ahead. I enjoyed role playing with you all.

Sad day when Charlotte says she isn't able to RP anymore! Two of my characters, Kane and Josh, were planning to head to Johto to meet her evil team! What are the rest of you guys up to in Johto? Maybe they could do something there with your characters instead?
Just got back from a 2 week holiday, so I should be more active.
Just got back from a 2 week holiday, so I should be more active.
From what I can see, Naka, Theo, Johnathan, Billy, Desmond, and Aldon (with Naka, Theo, and Johnathan in one group and the other group being Billy, Desmond, and Aldon with a now semi-present Charlotte) are in the middle of doing Safari Zone stuff catching Pokemon or having a moment, while Esther is on Route 47 trying to handle her Pokemon (best to leave her alone), and Rick did a Pokeathlon thing and will be heading towards Safari Zone. But because the Aggron was going to be controlled by Charlotte, it might just have to be dropped or handled very swiftly by those there. Naka, Theo, Johnathan from what I see likely have an hour to an hour and a half left.
You familiar with the drug the Aggron's under?
Only the basics: that it's an X-Item that boosts all stats and sends it into a berserk. Rick doesn't know this (in fact he'll just think it's a pokémon on a tantrum at first), but once he spots the needle attached, it should make it obvious the Aggron is under something.
I don't know if taking the needle out is supposed to stop it (it shouldn't tbh, would be too easy). Eitherway, it shouldn't matter. If anyone wants spoilers on what Rick's cooking...
I plan on Rick leading the Aggron into a lake and trap it there, where the thing should be more manageable. Rick is about to get Pearl and Zephir back as well, so that's more I can do.
Niiice
But yeah, either way, don't want Rick banned from the Safari Zone if he goes in with Pokemon lmaoooooo.
If it's going on a rampage though, it should be able to bust down the wall leading outside, especially with it being suped up like it is.
WELL, y'see, I was half awake when I said that lmfaooooo.
I mean, the security people can just open up the wall too, or Teleport the raging Aggron outside the Safari Zone if the kiddies outside want to handle it, and after things trying to put it to sleep doesn't work.
@IDKWhatUserNameToDo @Cmeriwether
Sorry for the wait on my post, life got the best of me for a bit there. I'll be more active in the coming days/weeks!

@Max Million I forgot to mention this, but Twisted Spoons can be bought in stores. They're pretty common and Reggie has one. XD But I was thinking of actual thick metal spoons used similarly to wands, not really one that's used as a power boost, but we can use that too. Just as long as the other spoon is normal and not another Twisted Spoon lol.
You can buy them at the bargain shop on Stow-on-Side; Delibird Presents in Levincia, Paldea; wild Abra/Kadabra either find them or make their own; or - since it's been 8 years since SwSh - you can just buy them at a store owned or given products by Silph Company, especially big malls like the one in Saffron City, Goldenrod City, and other notable places.

What caused the great Twisted Spoon production boom then?
When there was more demand, lol. When there is more demand, there will be a greater supply. Likely from Psychic users who couldn't afford the more expensive battle items.
Time for some world-building!
I need a name for a Forum-based Social Media that focuses on gathering information about all things 'Trainers'. The Pokémon League and other bodies will also use it to promote their own events in a semi-official capacity.
The idea is to create a place where people can comment on and keep track of things in the trainer-sphere, follow threads on their favorite trainers, post pokemon raising guides or advice, etc. etc.

Trainerdex
‘Download’, ‘Trace’ or ‘Analytic’ after the Pokemon abilities!
Between here and Discord the vast majority of votes were for TrainerDex, and I marvel at the creative process; I can't imagine what depths of creativity and inspiration must've been plumbed before this name was created, but evidently, it was well worth it, for the people have welcomed it with a thousand cheers! You couldn't have been more on the nose if you tried and I will no longer be allowing RPers to name things.
Jokes aside, TrainerrDex is what the people want and so it shall be!

Simplicity has its perks, I tried to think of something complex but nothing was coming to mind so I simply went with Pokedex but for trainers.
I'm back after my impromptu hiatus pfffff. I'll be getting one huge multi-character post out soon :3 That might take me either tonight or tomorrow... or the day after lmao.
Linden joins the fight!
Name: Linden 'The Botanist' Greene
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Trainer Class: Gardener, Botanist, Gym Trainer, Adventurer, Breeder, Battler.
Physical Appearance: A tall to average height man with good muscles, green eyes and brownish blondish flat hair.
Clothing: Wears mainly green clothes including army camoflage trousers and a shirt. Normally wears a green or yellow apron and a white hat. He is equipped with all sorts of gardening tools, with many being on his belt, which also has Poke Balls. He also has bigger gardening tools strapped to his back or in his bag, including a shovel and gardening utensils. He wears heavily worn gloves.
Personality: He's quite righteous and feels like it's his responsibility to clear up any mess he can. He has a strong sense of justice and believes in a clear right and wrong. He believes in helping the needy and will investigate things to great length. He seems to have a great interest in plants and the grass type too.
Backstory: Born to parents of various parts of the world, Linden's family settled in Celadon City, Kanto. Linden's parents were gardeners and green grocerers and taught them everything they knew. Linden went on his own Pokemon adventure aged 11 but failed to complete it, gaining only a handful of badges. Fast forward a decade later, Linden had just quit a gardening job at a local hotel and saw an old man peering into Celadon City. He approached him and discovered he was spying on the young women and that the women either didn't know or were disgusted by it. He confronted the man and, after a small argument, he managed to convince him to leave Celadon City. After seeing this, Erika, the gym leader and various gym trainers invited him into the gym. She offered him a battle and it's here where she saw him and his grass types and, impressed by his battling abilities, offered him a spot as a gym trainer at Celadon. He agreed and spent a few years there. However, something bad must have happened, as Linden eventually quit his job, which he doesn't speak much of. He was also hired as a gardener and botanist for the gym and in several jobs around the area, which he continued until walking away. The reason is unstated and he doesn't like to talk about it. In the subsequent years, Linden went on a holiday to give himself a break and started travelling around in other regions. Notably, Linden was holidaying in Castelia City in Unova where he met Michiko Mitsummune, the Neo Team Snagem Scientist who would use a snag ball to steal his newly raised Ferrothorn, Aralia. Infuriated by this, he’d search high and low to find her but to no avail until he gave up. He eventually returned to Celadon where he realised he needed to go to other nearby places to refine his battling skills. He chose the Orange Islands, where he met Amber Papaya wounded and hurt on a southern island near Fairchild Island. There, he comforted her after an attack by an enlargened mutant Pokemon where several smaller drone pokemon had chased her and her Skiploon Flora had become significantly wounded too. Both of them lost their memories of the event due to the use of neurotoxins by the Pokemon. However, he continued to care for Amber and sent her to nearby Tangelo Island where a Pokemon Center was confirmed to be available to aide her whilst Linden worked to try and discover what had caused it and if it was a threat to the Orange Islands, after waking up in hopsital on another island. From there, the events in the RP begin, as he tries to work out what happened and how to stop the rogue Pokemon and what...or who caused this!

I like the character; however, he does pose a bit of a consistency issue since Erika's Gym only accepts female trainers. I've spoken of this before in the Discord server but the in-universe explanation for this is going to be: 'Erika is a prudent socialite, she uses her gym as a garden of networking and her gym trainers tend to be the daughters of Celadon's business elite. This is how she keeps a pulse on her city since it's the business center of Kanto.'
Now to clarify further, I don't believe there's anything wrong with his other roles as a botanist/gardener/etc. So he'd still have reason to have around the gym if you so desired.
I'd like to iron out this aspect of his backstory, I'm open to suggestions. (He could be an unofficial Gym Trainer or something)
I didn't realise that was in an in-universe thing? Where does it state that?
Why would Erika only have female trainers in her gym? That's an odd one.
You stated at the beginning that it's been a few years since the games, so surely times would have changed by now? I would have imagined things were a bit more liberal in Celadon by the time of the RP, or even that Erika was thinking about stepping down by now!
Maybe Erika offered him a spot as a one-off placement? I did state that he was working as a gardener in her gym, right? Maybe Erika saw him battling someone one time and decided to put him in the gym. What he did with the man outside the gym may have been enough for her to have him as some sort of bodyguard for the other trainers. Regardless, he's left the gym by the start of the RP, so that aspect is unlikely to come up or be a major plot point later on. I doubt you have plans to play as Erika specifically out of all gym leaders or have her travel in the Orange Islands or elsewhere, right? If it's such a major issue, we can make him a simple gardener for the gym.
Yea, a gardener is fine. accepted!
Games and anime stated - or at least glossed over - that she always seems to recruit female gym trainers, and even the male coach NPC is at the casino gambling and not even in the gym.
Because of that, Kyuu expanded on it and made it more of a rule in this RP. Erika would likely be in her late 30s, mid 40s by this time, so she would still have the gym under her control.
@Max Million this whole plot thing is getting confusing. I have asked you to let me know what is going on with the plot so we can comfortably figure out what we're doing OOCly. Getting details from a character who is also losing memory and another character recently added but isn't in the group yet is so disjointed and confusing that I would like some clarification.
Neurotoxins aren't too dangerous unless you have too much in your system, then it will put you in a coma or kill you. Yes. But is the Venusaur plant still on the table? How do we get rid of the condition? I know our characters don't have much of a clue what's going on and the panic is fine, but the players don't need that, and I'd really like to know what is going on.
Also, Amber blaring the TV does nothing but hurt everyone's ears and it won't help retain any information. :'D And since Reggie still has a migraine, well... xD
I would like to also know how what this toxin is, what Pokemon caused it if they did, and why it's only cropping up now and not anytime in the past that would warrant them having meds for it already. Was this a mutation? Was this created by some evil group? If it's this deadly, they'll have rangers at the scene pacifying all those Pokemon before they kill more people. I'm assuming they're doing that.
I have an idea for them to get to Fairchild, but if it's as dangerous as you made it sound in your post, then I would like to ask permission for Reggie's Munna to hypnotize Amber onto the plane and not complain for 2 hours until they land in Fairchild, pffff.

After long last, here she is. Took me forever and a day, but here is Sera, one of my favorites! And updated from her outdated versions.
Name: Sera Dogwood
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Trainer Class: Shiny Hunter/Researcher (studies the behavioral differences relating to shiny Pokemon, from the shiny itself to the non-shiny Pokemon surrounding them)
Physical Appearance: Sera stands at around 5’6 while having a slender yet athletic build. Her skin is slightly tanned due to all the time she spends out in the wilderness, searching for the next shiny to silently observe/observing Pokemon for long stretches of time. Her hair is medium length and a dark brown that is most commonly tied into a ponytail while her eyes are an expressive dark green.
Clothing: She mostly wears one of several light blue shirts that is covered by either a beige or white hoodless button-up jacket made out of a tough material with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows with blue jeans and either tennis shoes or hiker boots. She also has a yellow four-point star pendant that she always wears and a large light-brown messenger bag. In colder weather, she wears a long-sleeved shirt with a fluffy white jacket and snow boots, while in very warm weather, her jacket has short sleeves instead of rolled-up ones.
Personality: Sera is the last person you would expect to sit quietly and simply observe Pokemon in the wild. She can be a very energetic person, though she is also someone who’s driven by her mind. This is very difficult to see, however, as Sera is very emotional and self-conscious and can be easily distracted. She is friendly with others, and willing to help almost anyone while on a hunt, as long as their goals don’t go against her goals and morals. Though it should be said, when on a hunt, she is relentless, in her search. After all, she loves what she does, shiny Pokemon are her passion as is ethology.
Backstory: When Sera was little she adored going out to simply watch Pokemon. After all, they were so interesting to observe. As long as she didn’t go too far and didn’t get too close, she would be fine, anyway. It was one of the few things that Sera could fully focus on, anyway. That, and shiny Pokemon. The first shiny Pokemon that she met was Mary, a Mareep her aunt owned and that she took care of when she was over at her aunt’s ranch. At first, she assumed the pink Mareep was sick when she hatched, but she was taught about shinies. At first, she didn’t believe it, thinking that she was being lied to, until she realized that Mary was in perfect health. It was then her obsession with shinies became realized.
Sera didn’t start her personal journey until she was 14, wanting to cram in more school before she left (though she did start doing online classes while she was traveling). She desperately wanted to take Mary, having six years of history with her and helping her figure out that she wanted to seek out more shiny Pokemon, starting with a shiny very few have the opportunity to experience. Her aunt wouldn’t give her the Mareep until she sold off the farm. Instead, her father caught her a young Shinx who had a non-aggressive temperament. So, Sera set out with Sparky, her Shinx. Over the years, she went on several shiny hunts, writing down her findings as she did school online.
Starter: Sparky the Luxray
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Trainer Class: Shiny Hunter/Researcher (studies the behavioral differences relating to shiny Pokemon, from the shiny itself to the non-shiny Pokemon surrounding them)
Physical Appearance: Sera stands at around 5’6 while having a slender yet athletic build. Her skin is slightly tanned due to all the time she spends out in the wilderness, searching for the next shiny to silently observe/observing Pokemon for long stretches of time. Her hair is medium length and a dark brown that is most commonly tied into a ponytail while her eyes are an expressive dark green.
Clothing: She mostly wears one of several light blue shirts that is covered by either a beige or white hoodless button-up jacket made out of a tough material with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows with blue jeans and either tennis shoes or hiker boots. She also has a yellow four-point star pendant that she always wears and a large light-brown messenger bag. In colder weather, she wears a long-sleeved shirt with a fluffy white jacket and snow boots, while in very warm weather, her jacket has short sleeves instead of rolled-up ones.
Personality: Sera is the last person you would expect to sit quietly and simply observe Pokemon in the wild. She can be a very energetic person, though she is also someone who’s driven by her mind. This is very difficult to see, however, as Sera is very emotional and self-conscious and can be easily distracted. She is friendly with others, and willing to help almost anyone while on a hunt, as long as their goals don’t go against her goals and morals. Though it should be said, when on a hunt, she is relentless, in her search. After all, she loves what she does, shiny Pokemon are her passion as is ethology.
Backstory: When Sera was little she adored going out to simply watch Pokemon. After all, they were so interesting to observe. As long as she didn’t go too far and didn’t get too close, she would be fine, anyway. It was one of the few things that Sera could fully focus on, anyway. That, and shiny Pokemon. The first shiny Pokemon that she met was Mary, a Mareep her aunt owned and that she took care of when she was over at her aunt’s ranch. At first, she assumed the pink Mareep was sick when she hatched, but she was taught about shinies. At first, she didn’t believe it, thinking that she was being lied to, until she realized that Mary was in perfect health. It was then her obsession with shinies became realized.

Starter: Sparky the Luxray
Name: Sparky
Species: Luxray
Gender: Male
Appearance: Sparky is a bit larger than a normal Luxray and can be quite soft, though other than that and being a bit of a darker blue than your standard Luxray, Sparky is a perfectly normal Luxray
Personality/Background: Sparky didn’t have much of a life before he was Sera’s starter. A young Shinx out in the wild, not around his mother or siblings, and then he was caught not too long after. The person who caught him gave him multiple tests, trying to see if he would have a good temperament for a new trainer. He did and was given to Sera. The young Shix was at first unsure of the situation. After all this person was young like he was. Could she really be trusted with his well-being? He found the answer to be a yes and no. Sera was amazing at taking care of him as she would a pet, but absolutely failed at being a competent battler. That was fine though, he could pick up the slack. Besides, she took great care of him otherwise.
When attacked by wild Pokemon, Sparky is the first to Sera’s defense and her only defense. After all, she isn’t a battler at all. He is quite protective of Sera and isn’t above growling at people he deems a threat, though he doesn’t attack unless someone is genuinely trying to harm his trainer. He also tends to have a soft side with small/weak Pokemon and tries to protect them.

Name: Mary
Species: Mareep
Gender: Female
Appearance: Shiny Mareep that is obviously well-cared for
Personality/Background: Despite still being a Mareep, Mary is possibly Sera’s oldest Pokemon. Despite the two meeting first, Mary didn’t become one of Sera’s Pokemon until after Sera was a trainer for two years. However, it would be a far better idea to start with the beginning for Mary. Mary was hatched on a Mareep Ranch, one that often sold Mareep to new trainers and shered the Mareep for their wool. Due to her rare coloration, Mary was immediately a permanent resident of the ranch. She didn’t mind this, as she was well cared for, especially by Sera. At first, the kid was noticeably worried while around her, but it quickly faded into fascination. She treated her very well, brushing her, playing with her, and giving her treats. Eventually, when Sera came over, she would follow her around everywhere. When Sera was over at the ranch, the two were inseparable, even after she got that weird Shinx. One day, her owner got injured and had to sell off the place. Two years after Sera started her journey, Mary became an official member of the team.
Mary is a calm Pokemon that has a close bond with Sera. Like her trainer, she isn’t a battler, but rather enjoying the quiet life. After all, her first eight years were just the ranch she lived on. This doesn’t mean she wouldn’t fight if Sera put her in that situation, or help out in some other way, she simply just doesn’t. Sera is quite overprotective of her, after all. She doesn’t mind that either, if she were to be honest. Honestly, she just goes along with whatever happens. As long as Sera and the rest of the team is happy (except grouchy Sparky, he is never happy), she is happy.

Name: Lass
Species: Nidoran
Gender: Female
Appearance: Shiny Nidoran with a collar with an everstone in it
Personality/Background: Lass was the result of a hunt just west of Viridian City. After four months of searching, she eventually came across Lass. Usually, she tries her best to stay hidden, though this time it wasn’t so easy. Lass one day entered her bag during a lunch break and took a nap. Sera found the Nidoran and carefully released her. Though, after first contact with the purple female Nidroran, she kept reappearing. Sera was never rude to the small Pokemon, though she was worried for her. That and she was starting to get used to the company. It wasn’t like this was out of character for the Nidoran, either. She was a naturally curious Pokemon and enjoyed making new friends, from what the researcher had seen. Sera gave her the option to join her or stay back with the other Nidoran. Lass chose to come with Sera.
Lass is a very friendly and helpful Pokemon that prefers to not be in her Pokeball. Instead, she enjoys riding around in Sera’s bag. Lass is highly intelligent and makes a good research partner, being able to grab whatever Sera needs and hand it to her. Lass is also very curious and tends to get into things she probably shouldn’t.

Name: Ill
Species: Beedrill
Gender: Male
Appearance: Shiny Beedrill. His arm-stingers are noticeably sharp and is a bit larger than normal
Personality/Background: Sera spent seven months looking for a shiny in Viridian Forest. Eventually she came across a green Kakuna, so she set up there, observing the still Pokemon. While it was stationary at the moment, it could technically evolve at any moment. A few days later, an unlucky trainer named Evan happened to accidentally cause the Kakuna to evolve into the perpetually angry Beedrill. It doesn’t take a genius to know what the newly-evolved Beedrill did next. The unlucky trainer ran and Sera threw a Quick Ball at the Beedrill in an attempt to give the trainer more time. She didn’t expect to actually capture the Pokemon. Quick Balls act fast, after all, and when you’re caught by surprise, it doesn’t take much to be caught.
Ill doesn’t respect his trainer, seeing his capture as nothing more than a cheap trick. Heck! The first time he ever saw his new trainer was after he was caught. He acts very much like how most wild Beedrill act. After all, he is very much a wild Pokemon that’s kept in a Pokeball.

Name: Cianna Aliana "Milliana Barlowe" Delmont-Hawkins
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Trainer Class (What goal do you have in mind for your character? Contests/Battler/Breeder/etc.): Battler (Specialist in Steel Types)
Physical Appearance: She is 5'11" on a slim frame with various scars across her frame from encounters with Various fire Types. Her Green eyes give a look of determination, long brown hair typically tied in a messy bun.
Clothing: Cianna wears a white collared shirt, the top two buttons let opened. She typically wears pants, and gloves with boots. She wears a silver ring on her right Ring Finger, given to her when she was younger. Those of Richer, Wealthier, or Noble families could recognize the Ring (Character Dependent again).
Personality: Cianna is oddly shy, awkward girl, which is very unexpected for her Upbringing of Luxury and Nobility, as she typically wrote in a book or doodled when not outside exploring her family home, or playing with her Huge Partner, Duraludon. She has social cues of the Nobility, but since her clan would technically be a Baron (lowest Rank above Knighthood), she tends to not bother those of higher Nobility, who would most likely take advantage of that fact (Character Dependent). However, if someone threatened her, her Pokémon, or her friends, she will act and defend those accordingly.
Backstory: Cianna was born to Tristan Hawkins and Aliana Delmont-Hawkins some 15 and a half years ago outside Striation City, about a year and a half after her Father's Big Job. She had been living a somewhat Luxurious life for most of her childhood, as her mother was the Heiress to a Noble Clan. Her father would poach Pokémon for prices based on risk, as her mother would determine the risks of the job. As she lived her childhood, her father brought home a Pokémon that was strange, almost like a skyscraper, and was a good 80% taller than even her father, from a Job involving a Complex of this Pokémon in Galar, called A Duraludon. She bonded with this Pokémon, attending an Academy for a while in Unova, with this Pokémon as her own partner Pokémon. She eventually learned more about Duraludon, a Steel and Dragon Type from Galar, and learned some information about this Pokémon. It was when she left the academy was when she took up the Name Milliana Barlowe to hide her true Identity as The Daughter of Tristan Hawkins, The Commander of the Delmont Poachers. During a school trip to Kalos, her hotel key was stolen by a Naive Klefki. The Klefki had to be caught to get her hotel key back, due to how possessive they get with keys. She then saw a shelter need some help rehoming Pokémon, and she got an Alolan Sandshrew from the shelter back at home, and read the care manuals. As she is learning about her steel Type Pokémon, she was learning to battle and heard of the Orange Islands League as a smaller league to test her mettle, being her identity as the only child of Commander Hawkins needed to be kept secret. However, due to recent events involving one of the Gyms in the Orange Islands, she got redirected to nowhere near her intended area, and landed in Sinnoh, now in a cold region, nowhere near home, she is lost, and hoping to find help. At least her Sandshrew likes it here.
