Welcome to the Orre region, a fairly small region that does not fall within the large League based region alignment. Here, pokemon champions are made in tournament style battles, set in coliseums for nearly the whole region to watch. However, many years ago, a group known as Cipher had threatened the balance of this old fashioned region, as well as the world, as they found a way to infect pokemon with a strange, mystical power that would give them incredible power, but sway them towards evil and chaos. Worst of all, they converted the legendary sea god Lugia to aid their cause, using a supposedly ucurable process and nicknaming the result XD001. Thankfully, a young hero using an odd device that allowed him to steal the pokemon of others, was able to purify not only these shadow pokemon, but XD001 as well. Now the region could go on in peace.
Now, present day, the sudden death of the regional elder, Michael, has stricken many with grief. A local hero and renowned as one of the regions greatest trainers at one time, few would suspect foul play as a cause for his sudden heart attack. However, there is little time to grieve. The same day, the old lab is burned to the ground, and it is believed that much of the technology there disappeared from the ashes. A few talked about the sighting of a strange, dark shadow in the night sky just after, but none are certain of the exact cause.
You are a young trainer, just beginning your training to become a coliseum battler with your partner pokemon. However, awaiting your first beginner level battle and watching two of the greatest trainers in the region battle it out, a strange man walks into the middle of the fight and steals the battling pokemon in the broad daylight. He claims that Cipher will rise again, and leaves several underlings to terrorize the spectators and steal the high level pokemon of trainers who try to stop him. You may be young, but it might just be up to you and your friends to stop the organization from destroying our world.
Here's just a bit of information to keep in mind:
Name:
Age: (generally, trainers don't start coliseum battling until about age 16 or later)
Gender:
Appearance:
Pokemon: (only one to start, should be unevolved and no higher than level 10. With each battle they participate in, they will level up once. Each pokemon can only learn 4 moves at a time, and if you capture an unpurified Shadow pokemon, any moves they may have are replaced with a Shadow Move with similar effect/damage type)
Here's my character as an example!
Name: Alexis "Alex" Parker
Age: 21
Gender: female
Appearance: Alex has short cut, medium brown hair that's fairly thick and tends to hang in her golden brown eyes. Her skin is a medium beige with a splattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks, though she doesn't burn often and tans fairly easily. She stands about 5'10" and is of a fairly thin, but generally average build. Generally, she wears a slightly oversized brown hooded jacket and straight legged jeans with high topped sneakers, and often some kind of neutral colored t-shirt.
Pokemon:
Here's a quick guide to characters so far!
Alex Parker (f)-Ryan the Rhyorn (10)
Isaac Flast (m)-Pixel the Porygon (10)
Kathleen Chaser (f)- Grace the Snivy (10)
Quint Heverta (m)- Patton the Chespin (8 )
Leon Castle (m)- Mirage the Eevee (10)

Here's just a bit of information to keep in mind:
- Please keep in mind all rules of pokemon roleplay!
- Shinies are INCREDIBLY rare. Unless you have a REALLY good reason for wanting a shiny, all pokemon will be of normal coloration.
- Mega Evolving is INCREDIBLY rare and EXTREMELY difficult. To obtain a mega evolving pokemon, you will have to jump through quite a few hoops to get everything you need to mega evolve, including: a mega accessory, a mega stone, and a mega capable pokemon with a strong enough bond to its trainer.
- No Sun/Moon pokemon, and this includes after the games release. I'll take a while to get the game, and even after that I need some time to learn the pokemon, so until I'm comfortable with them, please keep it to pokemon XY and earlier. This includes Alolan forms.
- I will be playing the part of all Cipher grunts and villains for battling purposes. I will give all information on their pokemon team before you leap into a fight with them, so we can pick which character gets to battle.
- On the topic of battles, I'll be using a simple level up system, where for every pokemon your pokemon battles against (and given you win the battle over all, whether they are passed out or awake), they will gain 1 level. If in the odd scenario you end up in a battle with an opponent much stronger than you (which I will discourage), but someone how come out on top, I will award more level, at my discretion. And don't worry, I'll keep track of each pokemon's level in the character quick guide for your character~
- To evolve pokemon who require stones, the pokemon must be at least level 30 before your character may find a stone to evolve them. If they evolve via trade evolution or happiness, they will need to grow by at least 15 levels from their previous evolution (or starting level) before they can evolve. Your pokemon does not have to evolve at their minimum evolution level also, you can wait and have them evolve later.
