• 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.

Drew stepped into an arena that was nearly as big as his home city of Viridian. He received a message from some strange guy wearing a top hat that a special tournament was being held and that he was invited to participate in it. He hasn't been in any official tournament not since the world tournament a four years prior. He figured this would be a good way of sharpening his skills instead of having to hold back against up and coming trainers.

" Greetings." a voice said. Drew nearly jumped out of his skin as he looked over his shoulder and saw an older man with a long white mustache that went past his chin. " Welcome to my dueling grounds Mister Leuric.

" Who are you?" Drew asked as he looked at him.
"All will be explained once the other participants show up." the older man said before stepping into the shadows and disappearing.

Drew waited by the gate to the field as he waited for the participants.
 
"Hey, Robbie." Narah called out as she walked side by side with her starter, the said Pokémon looked at her with a bored but curious look "How did we get an invitation to a tournament, again?"

The avian Pokémon blinked "Well, I'm not renown Pokémon battler and I'm not much of a competitor." this time her Pokémon rolled his eyes and Narah blushed in embarrassment "Hey, I'm only fired up if we're broke, okay? It's not like I'm traumatizing those youngster by laughing like a maniac." Robbie looked at her as if saying 'Suuuureee~', Narah blushed even more, that she looked as if she was having a bad case of sunburn "That was one time!" she shouted in defiance but her Pokémon didn't seem convinced.

"Greetings."

Narah froze in cold fear and shocked, her Pokémon growled at something or someone behind her. In another few seconds she was able to mustered up some courage to looked at the fudger that decided to give her a heart attack. It was a man, an old man with white mustache and top hat. 'What?'

"Wha-"

"All question will be answered and explained once the other participants show up."

Narah wanted to shout at the old man 'Then why did you decided to appear behind me when you could do that when the others are here? Are you retarded?' but she miss her chance when the man disappeared in the shadows.

The bluenette and her Pokémon stood in their places in silence before "What the fudge was that?"
 
Drew let out a breath as he walked into a room. He nearly stopped in his place as a dozen eyes fell on him. It appeared that some of the competitors where already there.
A chill went down Drew's back. Something wasn't right about these people. He continued to slowly look at each person. looks of utter hatred on most of their faces. His eyes set on a man in a yellow clothes with all but his eyes covered. The man's eyes looked like the eyes of death.
Letting out a breath Drew turned to the right and started to walk away from the other competetors.

As he walked away he saw a girl and a Deciduye. He let out a breath " At least these people look normal." He thought as he walked closer to them. " Hi there." He said as he gave them a small smile.
 
"Hi there."

Narah flinched, but surprisingly recovered quickly. She turned casual to the caller, her Decidueye already looking at him, boredly might she add. She sigh and gave a small smile in return "Hi, I'm Narah and this is my partner, Robbie." It was saying too much information but she was glad that this weirdo, isn't exactly a weirdo, like that old man. "Have you also been jumped by that old man?"

Keeping the conversation running, smart. Robbie rolled his eyes as he discreetly survey the surrounding. He could hear alarm bells in his mind the more he became aware that the place were getting filled in. He didn't quite understand it as he had been in a tournament before, participated once or twice but most of the time he and his trainer were just spectators, so he was used being surrounded by a large crowd. But this people are far more... suspicious.

He sigh, his shoulder sagged as he looked back at boy. Whatever this people are, and what they are capable of, as long as it won't involve or harm his trainer, his content on not getting involved. Hard to say for his trainer, though.

"I'm Drew." He said he noticed how she flinched. " I'm sorry for surprising you." He said as he gave her a soft smile. " Yeah I got jumped by that old man." He said as he leaned against a wall. He let out a breath. " It's good to meet someone who doesn't look like they want to kill me." He said.
 
Narah blinked as she glanced at her Pokémon, who was giving the boy, Drew, a blank look. She hummed in thought and looked around, that's when she noticed that there's already quite a number of competitors in. Her brows furrowed when she accidentally make eye contact to a few of them, they either looked back at her for a second or gave her a glare until she looked away. Narah's eye twitched in annoyance as she received more glares than a blank eye.

'Weirdos'
she remarked in her mind, as she shook her head with a frustrated sigh "I don't know. They looked like a bunch of teenagers that really hate the world. But yeah, I'm not gonna be surprised if one of us got killed by this bunch of weirdos."
