A reminder: If you want to ask an RP thread creator if you can join their RP, do so in private - via conversation or profile messages - or via the thread's discussion thread, if one exists. Do NOT ask if you can join an RP on the RP thread itself! This leads to a lot of unnecessary OOC chatter and that's not what the RP boards are for.
This is clearly stated in our RP forum rules. If you've not read them yet, do so BEFORE posting anything in the RP forums. They may be found here (for Pokémon Role Play) or here (for General Role Play). Remember that the Global Rules of Pokécharms also apply in addition to these rule sets. -
Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

"Why would an intruder try to get to something unimportant?" Ama joked. Noi swooped down and landed on her shoulder. "Hey, have you been socializing with the Noibat that the other Grunts utterly failed to- Oh! Okay, that's a huge bruise. Did one of them try to catch you? With great force?" Noi nodded. Ama sighed.
Giving a curt nod of gratitude to the admin, the luxray relayed a simple message; 'T.H.A.N.K Y.O.U.'
Truthfully, tail-flashing was somewhat tedious and could really only be used to commune short messages, lest they sit for hours in a pitiful attempt to translate a simple 'No, no I do not have a trainer. Why would I be here if I had a trainer.' Unfortunately for his pride, he had to take all the help he could get. He may as well be diplomatic about it.
Truthfully, overseeing the trials was boring, and last time had ended with Tesla caught in a poorly aimed net, pinned against the wall by a grunt who had assumed he was one of the many Pokémon for stealing practice. To be fair, the grunt had excellent aim, but terrible perception.
As per usual, Tesla's thought was disrupted by an intrusion, ahem, polite interjection, of a team member into the conversation. It was an admin this time, who apparently found the trials mentally taxing as well. Especially the guarding one. Truthfully, no one liked it, but, of course, it was a nessicary requirement anyway.
Again his cognition was disrupted by a noibat, the grunt's this time, who had a nasty bruise from a grunt mistakenly trying to catch it. Giving a somewhat sympathetic sigh, Tesla nodded in the direction of the noibat, speaking to it in the language of Pokémon, "I feel your pain."

Ivan arrived to the auditorium." These grunts are really incompetent, I should really join a group of more capable people." Ivan then saw row X and went there 'they look good' Ivan thought to himself as he walked over." Hey guys, mind if I join in."

Zoe arrived at the security room where she had spent most of her time off
"Oh! hello miss"said the grunt managing the room
"Hello again sitrep as usual"Zoe replied
"Baseline's good apart from the Rattatas chewing up wires and creating holes through ventilation "The grunt reported
"thank you I'll inform the leader if possible,
I'll be in the auditorium if you need me the first should be starting out soon"Zoe said heading to the auditorium

David sighed "alright then" he muttered "Alakazam Teleport"
He appeared in front of the podium and began to speak, "while the challange slightly differs from year to year due to factors out of our control, the basic principles remain the same, steal something from someone, the more value an object brings, the more points you get for this test, an admin will oversee your test as well, to see how you go and provide assistance if neccisary"
He stepped back from the podium and whispered to his boss "so where are we robbing this year? Just random trainers in the open? Shops in a town? Was I meant to get an email about it?"

He stepped back from the podium and whispered to his boss "so where are we robbing this year? Just random trainers in the open? Shops in a town? Was I meant to get an email about it?"
"How did you get onto the stage?" David asked, sort of shocked, he turned to the boss "Although that does sound like a good idea, the Magikarp Man has been a blight to all trainers since the very beginning, robbing them of their hard earned money, and i'm sure many of our recruits here have been tricked by him, maybe that would ease the burden of having to rob someone, anyways i have more to say"
"This test" he announced, walking back up to the podium "Will test your resilience, it will test your will to do things considered by many to be immoral, for the greater good of Team Wyvern! This test will seperate the strong from the weak, perhaps not in battling skill, but in their loyalty to their team, in their mental resistance, their willingness to do the things they have to do while in the team"

Shuffling a tiny bit away from Zoe and a bit closer to Alakazam, David whispered to the latter "watch her", which got a nod from Alakazam
"Continuing on, the test is not meant to be in any means biased, points are based on a number of factors, how much you take relative to how much the victim owns, any hesitation and if you have an evil grin on you face the whole time, please do not do that last one, you will
NOT gain that many extra points"
"Most of our earnings will go to Team Wyvern but a small portion will be kept by the trialgoer" he continued "Please do not try to keep any more for yourself, you will lose points and the trust of your superiors, and we as a team need to stick together"

"Oh Boss I forgot to tell you that there's been a Rattata problem in Ventilation I'd like to know if I have your permission to do anything about Sir!"Zoe said to Lyren while saluting

"Wait so we lose points for stealing in a stealing based trial" Zyther said turning to the stage "now who came up with that idea I mean really that's a bunch of bull s**t if you ask me" Zyther was starting to yell now "why don't you just deduct points for doing the trial in the first place because that only seams logical doesn't it"
Of course, right on schedule, one grunt decided to be a 'rebellious spirit' and question the rules of the trial. If it were biologically possible, the luxray would have crossed his arms, but unfortunately his joints didn't bend that way and Tesla had to settle for a glare.
Of course some of the grunts here didn't get the point of the trial. Yes, you lose points for stealing little, which is exactly why you have to learn to steal relative to the owner's weath/possessions. Robbing a poor man blind would just be cruel, but beating a swindler at his own game? That was sure to earn you extra points and do a good for a bunch of new trainers… even if that kind of defeated the purpose. But honestly, did they expect to get rewards for stealing a bottle cap from a pidove? Tesla thought not.
Unfortunately, that point was far too long to translate into Morse and back, so the luxray decided to quit glaring at him. It was probably pointless without context. With a final roll of his eyes, he turned and padded towards the side of the room where he could see. This just happened to be away from the short-fused, swearing grunt as well. Bonus.

Ivan saw Ama's determined face." She must be nervous." He thought to himself. Ivan then moved closer to Ama and said to her in a soothing tone:" Hey no need to be nervous, if things go wrong we have admins that will intervene."
"oh your not? The why do you look so tense?" Ivan asked. Skar jumped on Ivan's head to greet Swablu.
"theft huh? I guess that only makes sense for these grunts...Hey I got a question!" Sasha yelled at the stage "What's the rarest thing we could steal?"
"Heh you think a threat and a flygon will scare me im sorry but I'm not five anymore you will have to try harder then that" Zyther said to Zoe turning to her "but go ahead through me out your just getting rid of one of if not the best grunt in this room and I don't think you could afford that happening with all these lost causes" Zyther said with a grin
Ivan realize that Ama's swablu was acting scared. He took Skar off of his head." I'm sorry but did my Skorupi scare your Pokemon? Skar here looks scary especially because he's red but be sure he's pretty friendly too. Oh and on the subject of Pokemon, this is Dio my ariados."
"it is nice to meet you Ama, my name is Ivan"
After thinking about what Zyther said, he walked back onto the podium, "As team Wyvern we are united! It is ok to steal from others but not from ourselves, we are an evil organisation but teamwork and trust are important in all organisations, even this one." he said "that is why you would lose points"
He dropped off the stage, landing in between Zoe and Zyther. His Dragonite staring down on Zyther "Care to rethink that?" he asked in a menacing tone "or do you want to face the wrath of two Wyvern Admins?"
He turned to face away from Zyther "You say you are powerful, but that has yet to be seen" he said quietly, so only Zoe and Zyther could hear “we will see throughout the trials if you are truly the trainer you say you are, but if you make one mistate, one slip up, I will not hesitate to give you the boot”

"alright alright leave him alone, he messed up now just chill, or I'll have someone even higher then both of you settle this, and we wouldn't want that, would we?" Sasha wasn't afraid of them, and she had the power to make them stop.
Zyther started laughing "just wait and see you stuck up admins ill show you my true strength in the trials and then maybe you will rethink what you said" Zyther then took a pokeball of his belt "go midnight" he called as his lycanrock came out of his pokeball "i cant be bothered waiting for you to finish so if you don't mind ill take my leave now" he called while walking out of the Hall
"I like his Spirit" The Leader said as he Put his hand on Zoe's Shoulder "I would like you to follow him and watch him..." The Leader said as he Walked back to the Podium "TRIALS START NOW!" He yelled, Watching as Grunts ran out the Door and out to see the Magikarp Salesman
"This will be fun"
"This will be fun"
Zoe gave a simple nod and ran off to catch up with Zyther "Now where did he run off.........ok Noivern come out!"Zoe released Noivern out of it's Pokeball "Noivern scan the area!" And with a simple command Noivern let loose soundwaves that bounced throughout every corridor of The Team Wyvern Base and the sound waves found Zyther "Ok lead the way!"Zoe said and Noivern flew off with Zoe behind trying to catch up and they found Zyther "Good job Return"She said as she returned Noivern from the corner
"Well then, that basically spoils my day" David commented as Alakazam teleported him onto the stage, where he turned to Zoe and Lyren "please do not invoke the Gods" he said, when he noticed the doors open.
Meanwhile, the Magikarp salesman had set up shop just in front of the Team Wyvern base, he had managed to sell Magikarp to quite a few of the "New Recruts", promising that it would evolve into a great dragon. He was about to leave when he saw all of Team Wyvern dash towards him.
Watching from the rooftops of the Wyvern Headquaters was Admin David, he could instantly tell that some were more eager than the rest, and who was falling behind
When the Magikarp salesman saw the Wyvern recruits running towards him, he tried to back away, before sending out two Magikarp. "Protect me!" He cried, when the two were inevitably beaten, he fell down backwards. "D-don't hurt me" he cried "I know sometimes i do the wrong thing, but I have to support my wife and two kids!" All lies of course, but the Wyvern Recruits didn't know that.
Already David noticed that the terrible display that Mr Magikarp put on was enough to discourage some people, as they backed away, one burst out crying at what then were doing, while others failed to even approach the Salesman.
He scanned the mob for Team X, possibly the only promising recruits in this batch of failures

(OOC: can't believe I'm agreeing to this)
"Apparently this year we are just letting the recruits loose on the Magikarp Salesman" he commented "it's less hectic than you would think, already almost half of them have just left out of guilt, these guys actually believe the Salesman's lies"
Meanwhile, Mr Magikarp was telling more of the lies. "Plus, Magikarp does evolve into something that Looks like a mighty dragon!" He pleaded "don't hurt me"
The ones at the front of the crowd sneered and laughed, but the more concerned ones stopped them from actually hurting him, while others just began pillaging the money he had and all of the Magikarp
