The Time of Rising Stars

(( This is an open RP for anyone to join however, specifically I want to bring @JacobRaze, @Twilight Nova, and @_Umbreon_ 's attention to this RP. Also, let's just pretend that everyone starts their journey at 13, which I find more reasonable than 10.

You and a group of other trainers just started their journey. A group of 13 year olds with jittery nerves of excitement and the newfound thrill of leaving home with their new partners. The stakes are high these days, with movie stars raising in Unova, PR videos taking the Internet by storm in Kalos, new competition champions in the Kanto region, Pokeathlon is becoming very popular in the Johto region, and in Hoenn and Sinnoh Frontier Brains and Pokemon Coordinators are becoming very popular. You want to become a champion, and to get there you will have to fight your way through the region with your partner and your group.

So, we are in the Kanto region, the gym leaders are the same, champion is Lance. Everyone will start in a different region to get their starter and then recieve a letter of invitation that is asking you to be part of a social/teamwork experiment with other 13 year olds that just started their journey. The story is simple, go through the region with your group. You are allowed to take three Pokemon total from your home region to this test, but keep in mind that they must be level five or under to start off with and don't be too crazy and arm yourself with a Mawile. Eevee is allowed, but you have to tell me what eeveeloution it will become so not everyone has a Vaporeon. One last note, everyone favors their starter. No matter whether you like your Rattata better, you must favor your starter in the roleplay by walking with it or using it in battle more. I personally favored my starter over all others in my first game and everyone else who I asked (outside and in school) agreed with me. Plus keep in mind that you are a new trainer, only having experienced these creatures via Television or outside your hometown. You will start your post with a letter to you character from the professor of that region saying similar to what I have down in my post below. You end your first post with you arriving in Pallet town, or receiving your first Pokemon if you live in Kanto. Please and thank you!
I hope you consider joining! Thank you!~))

Dear Grace,

You are coming up on your 13th birthday, a very exciting one for that matter! You will recieve your first Pokemon! However please read the following.

You have been selected from all of the new trainers in Sinnoh to participate in the Teamwork project! You and a few other new trainers will meet in Kanto's Pallet town to get more details, I hope you enjoy embarking on your journey with your first Pokemon!
-Proessor Rowan.

Grace gave a small squeal and jumped up into the air. She has been waiting for this almost her whole life. Today was it, the day Twinleaf town sent someone off to Kanto to be proud of! Grace leaped off of her bed and packed up her bag she would carry even if it was just a regular journey. The teenager sped around the room, stuffing clothes, hygiene products, and good luck charms into her bag. "No no no.... Grace! What is this?" Her mother asked in a bewildered voice, holding up one of the 5 year old Clovers she kept for luck. "Oh! I'm packing for the Teamwork project. And that's..." She said grabbing the bag the clovers were sealed in. "My good luck charm." Her mother sighed and gave a knowing grin. She had done the exact same thing. "Here honey, try this." She held out a white bag that already had everything Grace needed in it. "Mom...." Grace's voice trailed happily for a moment but she started to tear up. The teenager gave a big hug before slinging the bag over her shoulder. "I have to go now or we will all be in waterworks!" Grace called to her mother. Her mom waved and smiled. "Don't forget to go to Sandgem's airport at 12:00 sharp! Don't be late missy!" Grace was already out the door.

Grace hurried to the outskirts of the snowy Twinleaf, to lake Verity. The frost covered lake was very relaxing and always calmed her nerves. To her suprise Professor Rowan was there with a large suitcase, looking out into the water. When he heard her approach he turned and gave her a full smile. "Grace! It's been too long! I haven't seen you in two years even though I'm just a route away!" He noted as he walked forwards. "Now..." Professor Rowan started. "You probably just want your Pokemon. Choose wisely, this will be your partner for the rest of your life." The Professor warned as he released three Pokemon. Chimchar, Turtwig and Piplup popped out of the balls in a flash of light. "They are all so cute!" Grace bent down to study Chimchar. She was about to pick it when the fire type suddenly punched her square in the face. "Oof!" Grace grunted as she fell backwards off balance. Professor Rowan returned the Chimchar with a sigh. "That ones never going to be picked at this rate." Grace turned to the Piplup. His big eyes and adorable pride shone like stars and Grace was in love. "This ones it. I choose you Piplup!" Grace grabbed the Piplup and held it in her arms. The Water type turned to face her and gave a huge grin. "Pip! Piplup!" It cried happily as it shot small bubbles into the air. "Alright Frostbite! Let's go to the Kanto region!" Grace took the Pokeball and sat Piplup down on her head where he seemed most comfortable and ran to Sandgem, leaving a confused Professor to follow more slowly.

Grace gazed out at the ocean, watching amused as Frostbite admired the large expanse of the liquid. Suddenly the intercom came on.

Flight 83 will be landing in Veridian City within 5 minutes. We ask for you to out away all cellular devices and begin to round up your possessions. The seatbelt light is on, so we ask that you fasten your seatbelt. We hoped you enjoyed flying Wingull International Airlines, we hope to see you again!

Once the plane landed Grace hurried off to Pallet Town, Piplup cheering on her head. At one point she became thirsty and reached into her bag for water. That's when she realized that Aroma and Solstice were in there. The Budew was the daughter of Grace's Mother's Roserade the Eevee was the daughter of her Mom's Flareon. Once she finally made it to the small town she was greeted by the one and only Professor Oak. "Welcome Grace! Thank you for joining us!"

((Grace is wearing Platinum's red outfit with the scarf and everything except the hat. She has brown hair instead of blue.))

The pokemon fought hard. Gengar vs Bayleef. And the winner is...

The thirteen year old boy snapped awake fromthe bed of trash and broken blankets. He sat upright on the bed. He looked at the clock, which was three hours ahead. "It's two. I Shouldn't have stayed up." He ran downstairs, greeting his mom, but she wasn't there. He turned to the countertop. A note was left.

Dear Tyler,

After consulting with other Professors, you and other Thirteen Year olds will start a journey in Kanto. I will wait for you in Mistralton Airport. Then, go to Pallet town.

Prof. Juniper

He flipped it over. His older brother's handwriting read,

Good Luck

He looked in the cabinet under. There was a bag that Tyler kept for when he would go camping. He thought how he could get to Mistralton.


He ran next door. His neighbor, Chris, was a great friend, and he could drive Tyler there.
"Hello?"
"Hey Chris, could you drive me to Mistralton." Tyler asked, handing him your note.
"Sure, You're my best friends little brother."
Tyler mentally celebrated.

He stepped out of the car, stretching. He thanked Chris, and walked in. "Hi!" She said as he walked up to Professor Juniper. "How are you?"
"I-I'm fine, thanks." He said quietly. He looked at the pokemon.
"Go ahead, choose." She said happily.
Tyler smiled. "Oshawott."
Juniper handed Him a pokeball. "Go ahead."
He tapped the Oshawott on the head and it was put in the pokeball in a beam of light. He was directed to a plane. He fell asleep the ride, which was probably best due to his fear of heights. He was awoken by a attendant.
"We have arrived."

He.stepped out onto the dirt of Viridian. "Pallet Town." He said, walking towards the southern part of town. He arrived in the small town. He saw an old man in a lab coat. "Excuse me, are you Professor Oak?"
 
"Yes? Oh! Tyler is it? Welcome! You are the second to arrive! Go ahead and start to get to know your partners while we wait." Professor Oak instructed.

Grace looked a little ways away to see someone new. 'Oh gosh, one of the other travelers.' she thought in panic. Frostbite happily pipped "Pip! Piplup!" as if he were inviting the newcomers over. "Frostbite, please stop. I know you are excited but..." The Piplup, now in Grace's arms, gave a sullen look and sprayed bubbles in Grace's face. "Frostbite! You little...... cutie! You are so cute!" Grace tried scolding the Penguin but couldnt help having her heart melt at the sight of the adorable Piplup. "Hi! How are you? I'm Grace from Sinnoh!" She called to the new arrival. Grace felt like they might judge her based on her appearance.... it was the middle of summer and she was wearing a long sleeved overcoat and a scarf... but she always wears it because it was what she wore in Twinleaf.
 
Tyler nervously smiled. "I'm Tyler, or Ty, from Unova." He grabbed his one and only pokeball and released his water type. "We both chose the water starter huh?" He said. "I was born in Nimbasa, me and my older brother built a house." He had bags under his eyes due to most nights staying up. He had long-ish medium brown hair and wore a hoodie. "Is Sinnoh nice? My brother and his friend went there once. I didn't go so I was left alone in the house for a week."
 
"Sinnoh is beautiful! From Snowy mountains to Flower feilds, we have it all!" Grace boasted happily. She was happy to show off for Sinnoh. "Frostbite here is the water starter in sinnoh if you don't know." She finished, pointing to the Piplup who managed to get on her head again. "So you come from....Unova? Seems like a cool starter you have." Grace notes, looking at his starter. It looked like a water type to her and it was cute... But she's never seen it before. To be honest she hasn't seen more than 10 pokemon in her life, including Frostbite.
 
"I saw a few little battles with him, and j really liked the way this pokemon battles, so I chose it." He said, finallyrelaxing and being a bit more, ' Laid Back'. "I watched a lot of pokemon battles on television, I know a few things. But I only brought him, the only trainer was my mom, but she passed."
 
"I'm sorry....." Grace mumbled at the news of passing. "I chose Frostbite because of how adorable he is!" She started to talk in a very high voice and randomly started words to praise the Piplup for being in existence. Grace cleared her throat and stood up like nothing ever happened. "In Twinleaf there is a lake called Lake Verity. I always wanted a water type to swim with, and here he is! I'm excited for when he evolves!"
 
"She was my adoptive mother and Adoptive brother who takes care of me." He said, still pretty clam, not a hint of sadness. "I do wish I could've said bye to him, but he left somewhere. But, evolution, isn't that where a pokemon changes in appearance and grows stronger?"

Avery awoke with a start. She sat up in her bed, alarm blaring. She was still half asleep, her long blonde hair messy from a good night's sleep. Her mother was there, shaking her head in disapproval of her hair. "Honey! Today you get to pick your starter, and go to Pallet Town! Oh I'm so-" she began, but Avery groaned. "Moooooom! I'm still half asleep, but I can tell when your gonna embarass me!" Avery quickly shot out of bed and went to the restroom, getting ready for the day and packing. Her mom made her breakfast, bacon an eggs, which she could smell from upstairs. She dashed down, setting her bag down by the door. Avery ate fast, said her long goodbye to mom, then dashed outside and grabbed her bike. She lived in Vaniville, but she was the fastest biker on her block and she was sure she could make it to Sycamore's lab. He greeted her with "Bonjor!" Which, her knowing him for a while, she replied with "Bonjor prof.! Cà va?" The two began a conversation in French, then he showed her three Pokemon; a Frokee, a Chespin, and a Fenikin. She picked the Fenikin and named him Aldwyn. She set him in her bag, where he soon fell asleep. She biked to the airport and hoped on a plane. She got used to Aldwyn on the flight, but soon the two fell asleep. When the plane arrived, Avery hopped off. "Pallet Town!" She exclaimed.

He started to converse with himself about pokemon terms he heard from rented battle videos or stories his brother would tell.
"Wott." The small water type said, growing impatient.
"Wait a bit, there could be others coming. Oak will tell us when to leave."
Oshawott sighed and laid against hid leg and started to nap.
Tyler studied the oshawott. "Hmm, shell?" He grabbed the pokemon's small shell. Just like an alarm, Oshawott woke up and slapped him after taking it back.
 
"Well, that was quite the move there. Note to self, never take an Oshawatt's shell." Grace joked as Piplup waddled over to see what the Oshawatt was doing. Grace noticed Professor Oak looking somewhat concerned. "Professor, whats wrong?" He turned to study the two pokemon. "Well the problem is, I dont really know who and how many people are left. I know you were coming Grace, and you too Tyler, because I received a letter back from your region Professors. The Johto, Hoenn, and Kalos professors didnt send me a letter or the trainers arent coming." He expressed, looking now at Grace.
 
"Couldn't we go up to Viridian at least, its not too far, they could probably catch up." Tyler said, rubbing his face. "I also want to see if I can Get in touch With my brother."
"Osha?"
"I have a brother, Andrew, he took care of me the last twelve years."
 
Avery rushed through the town, Aldwyn ahead of her. She skidded to a halt in front of the lab, almost missing it and sliding past it, slipping. Aldwyn shook his head slowly. She regained herself and walked in. "I'm here! Avery, thirteen."
 
Tyler started to grow nervous again. "More people, okay, that's fine." He said.
"Wott?"
"I get nervous easily. Don't judge me."
Oshawott shook his head. He then gave a look that said, really, could've had a petter trainer.'
 
(Can I join?)
Jessica stared at the sky. "Jess, mail!" Her mom yelled.
"Coming!" She responded. As the girl raced down the stairs, she wondered if maybe she'd get into the teamwork project. Being in Johto, she could easily get their. As Jessica read the mail, she squealed. She got in! The girl grabbed her duffel bag, and made for the professors lab. " Hey, Mr. Elm!" Jess exclaimed. The professor grabbed three pokeballs. "Time to chose your partner. Will it be cynaquil, totodile, or chicorita?" He asked. The girl carefully inspected each Pokemon. The totodile bit her, the chicorita was scared of her, and the cynaquil was just plain shy. Jess chose her Pokemon. "I want chicorita," she said confidently. The Pokemon looked at the professor when he handed the girl the pokeball. She soon realized what was happening. But before she could run away, she disappeared into her pokeball. From the lab, Jess caught a bus to the airport she was supposed to meet the other kids at. She held her two pokeballs in her hand, one being chicorita and the other being a sylveon she got when her mom went to Kalos on business.
She approached a boy with a oshawott, a girl with a piplup, and another girl with a Fenniken."Hi, I'm Jessie."
