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.
Plot
Toby Hato is a young boy from the Galar region that makes his home among the company of wild Pokemon. He has been living in a humble dojo in Giant's Seat, owned by his traveling grandfather, for two years to escape the harsh treatment of his father. Ever since witnessing his father grow bitter after losing to Galar's champion, Toby has lived under the assumption that all Pokemon Trainers are cold and over-competitive. As a result, he has been avoiding trainers for a while and denies being one, fearing the possibility that he'll be dragged into a battle himself and suffering the same fate as his father.
However, as more and more trainers have been visiting the wild area recently, it has been increasingly harder to avoid the attention of other trainers. Will anyone mend his broken conception of Pokemon Trainers?
Objective:
As Toby is very shy around trainers and inputting him in a normal role-play would be a bit awkward for him, this story is to actually expose him to trainers for the first time. Whether he'll start to grow comfortable with battling or not is fully up to experimentation here, depending on the interactions. Thus, this is mainly for character development. This is meant to be a bit of a short role-play, a one-shot if you will.
Toby has the ability to understand Pokemon speech so, if your Pokemon has any speaking responses, it must be followed by a parenthesis and what they're actually saying. Just to prevent awkwardness.
Just so things don't get out of control, no Mega Evolutions, Z-Moves, or Dynamaxing for this role-play.
This isn't actually a rule...but Fighting-types encouraged! XD
This is my first attempt at a role-play thread here, so I hope it's acceptable...I guess. ^^;
I'm quite interested. Do you have any specific attributes you'd like the other character to have (besides being understanding with Toby and not make him too uncomfortable), like gender or anything else? Or are you open to anything within reason?
Also, do you want to follow the 4-move rule or as many moves within reason?

I appreciate your interest. As far as gender and everything else, I'm not too picky at the moment. Pokecharms encourages separate the 'game feel' from the Pokemon role-plays as far as moves go, and I actually like the idea of no limits to the movepools so let's stick with that.
Do you want to make it a private 1x1 RP or into a group RP? I'll send you a character sheet by the way :3
I just realized that Gengar (after finding your character sheet of Toby) has the Ability Cursed Body, not Levitate. It got changed in Gen V, so Levitate was replaced for Cursed Body.

Yea, Mega Pokemon have to be okayed by admins, so you can't exactly have a character have a mega unless you have already contacted an admin about it privately.

Name: Reginald "Reggie/Reg" Valerias Age: 20 Gender: Male Personality: Reggie is a very exuberant young man. He swings his arms around every which way to convey his emotions in what seems to be frantic motions, but they aren't meant to show panic. No, they are meant to show his unending excitement and make him something to stare at. He didn't care if people stared at him for negative or neutral reasons, he just cared he had a spotlight on him. With his Haunter sharing this same sentiment, the shininess factor and Reggie's loud and attention-grabbing antics make them the star of almost any show and they both drink up the attention people give them. When around people, he is extremely sweet and loyal to anyone who wants to be his friend, and he gains friends quickly - or at least becomes the other person's friend quickly, despite the other person not reciprocating the platonic relationship. He tries to get to know people as well as he can and will sacrifice the stuff he wants to make sure his friends are happy, and he is quick to defend his friends, leading to some misunderstandings if he's not careful to judge people's faces and reactions to each other.
He does have two sides to him. The normal rambunctious side of him is the side most people see. The more stoic and professional side of him are ones that business people see. Whenever he meets someone who is high up in the "ladder", he tends to adopt a more professional way of speaking and acting, forgoing most slang and his cheery attitude for something more polite and respectable. His voice is pretty baritone, but he can reach to the heights of tenor if he gets really excited. He is also becoming something of a lady's man and tries to charm women around his age. It isn't for any reason than to make the woman feel good about themselves while he flirts with them, trying to lift their spirits and make them smile. He understands he isn't everyone's type, but he does his best to sacrifice his feelings, time, and energy to make sure people around him are happy. However, you insult him when he thinks you are his friend and he'll get very paranoid about whether or not he's going to be your friend still, to the point where the paranoia eats away at him and it ends up destroying the relationship when it could have gotten better if he didn't freak out so much. If you aren't his friend and you mean it when you insult him, he just insults back in a coy, smug manner because he has no time for such silliness and is self-confident enough to not be persuaded by mere jabs from a stranger. Though, he will forgive a stranger for the comments they have said before easier than if a long-time friend were to try and make up for their comments and attitudes. Likes: He adores Bug-Types, thinking they are so cute and misunderstood. Ghost-Types is his type specialty, and he really likes that type for many reasons. He also likes Psychic-Types due to their usefulness for his sleep schedule. He also loves having pretend tea parties, hide and seek, and training/cleaning his (and other people’s) Pokemon. He also likes flirting with the ladies, but mostly doing so to make them feel special. Dislikes: He dislikes losing and may sometimes be a sore loser depending on how many people are watching him (if he’s in a Gym, then he’s not going to show how unsportsmanlike he is, he at least has enough self awareness for that). He also despises Dark-Types because he finds them spine-chillingly disturbing. He also hates losing sleep. He also hates getting dirty. Like all men, he doesn’t like being rejected, but can at least be a good sport about it. Physical Appearance: Reggie has blonde hair that is combed back and bright sapphire eyes. He is 5'11" (180 cm) and weighs 160 lbs (72.57 kg). He has an average body type, but on the skinny side. He has porcelain pale skin, which is odd considering he has traveled before. It isn't so odd when people realize he's actually pretty vain and tries not to get himself too dirty. Clothing: He usually wears something pretty close to travel-okay business casual clothing. He has dark grey dress pants, black dress shoes, black socks, a purple trainer belt with PokéBall slots, a dark purple dress shirt, and a green XTransceiver on his right wrist. He also has a simple black phone that should have a Rotom, but is fit with a sim card instead. Finishing off his look, he has a black dress coat with golden cuff buttons and a yellow and red striped bowtie. He occasionally wears a black trilby with a red sash around the base. He absolutely loves his trilby and will make sure it doesn't get damaged or lost. For more casual clothes when he knows he'll get dirty, he has black combat boots, baggy dark grey pants, a simple t-shirt with an vague Giratina design, his purple trainer belt, and a grey coat with red and black stripes on the front, yellow spiked pockets and cuffs, and the hoodie has yellow fluff around the hood's edges. Wherever he goes, he has a large ruddy red camping backpack on his back that holds items for a small pot, a small tent, bowls, utensils, rations, extra clothes, hygiene equipment, rope, and other such items used for a Pokemon Journey that isn't just survival. Partner Pokémon: Shiny Haunter Other Pokémon: Musharna, Shedinja Occupation: Ghost-Type Specialist and Trainer Backstory: Reggie, as he would prefer anyone call him (even in a business casual setting), was born in Hearthome City, Sinnoh before being taken to Opelucid City, Unova to live out the rest of his childhood. He desperately wanted to go on an adventure and dreamed of a chance for his parents to be brave enough to send him out. While his childhood was peaceful and filled with teachings of both history of the Pokemon World, the different region's histories, learning of myths and legends, as well as having some close encounters that would mark him as a Medium for the rest of his life, he wanted to go outside and explore. Have an adventure. Have some fun. His parents wanted him to grow up the least sheltered as possible, but soon regretted it as he would constantly talk about going on adventures and defeating strong opponents. Most of the tournaments he watched on the television and his actions mirroring that of the Pokemon were enough to possibly make his mother faint if it weren't for her more difficult journeys as an up-and-coming Pokemon Trainer and finding her son's rambunctious hijinks endearing.
His father was basically as close as you can get to an aristocrat. He had lots of money and did his best to make sure his family lived comfortably. He never flaunted it, but instead flaunted his fashion sense and exuberant energy that his son emulated and turned the dial up to 11. Once Reggie was ten, he thought about which Pokemon he wanted. His favorite was by far a Gastly, but it wasn't a Starter Pokemon. Not having the foresight to see this sooner, he lost his motivation to go on a journey and began to focus solely on his academic life. He was the only one in his class to not have a Pokemon partner that was truly his, not just a Mimikyu or a Polteageist from his parents. Finally, when he was seventeen (and after his parents saved up as much as they could), they bought Reggie his first Pokemon. A Shiny Gastly. The boy was so ecstatic. His parents didn't need to get him a Shiny Gastly, but they felt bad that their son didn't get his favorite Pokemon when he was ten, so they made up for it by saving enough to buy him a special one. Reggie sent his sights in his home region, Unova, to settle on an adventure. He was five badges in, but decided that Galar was more fun due to all those stadiums and large applauding and screaming crowds, so that's where he went.
Species: Shiny Haunter - [TYPE]Ghost[/TYPE][TYPE]Poison[/TYPE] Nickname: Emeric Ability: Levitate - Emeric is immune to damaging Ground-type moves (except Thousand Arrows but who really has seen/has a Zygarde?). It also is unaffected by the effects of Arena Trap, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Sticky Web, Rototiller, and terrain (Electric, Misty, Psychic, and Grassy). Additionally, Emeric cannot remove Toxic Spikes upon switching in. These immunities are lost during Gravity or if Emeric is holding an Iron Ball, is under the effects of Ingrain, or has been hit by Smack Down or Thousand Arrows (again, who even has a Zygarde to utilize this?). Current Moves:
Shadow Ball - [TYPE]Ghost[/TYPE] | Special | Taught by father's Polteageist | Emeric creates a ghostly ball of shadow energy before expelling it towards the target. It has a small chance to lower the elemental/ranged defenses of the opponent. It cannot damage those who have the Ability Bulletproof. Emeric can't do anything special with this move just yet except for letting it explode prematurely in the air to make a cool dark halo effect.
Dazzling Gleam - [TYPE]Fairy[/TYPE] | Special | Taught by mother's Mismagius | Emeric creates a dazzlingly bright light that can affect both foes in a double battle. The flash of light can be used as a non-attack, using it to cover Emeric's tracks as he moves somewhere else. He can also use this and expel it at his slowed Shadow Ball in the air or towards another object/Pokemon/attack, making it explode prematurely or upon impact to create a sparkling rainbow effect. He can also use it on himself to make himself look iridescent for a moment. It can't be reliably used to see in the dark for long periods of time, but it can be useful to see a flash of the surroundings.
Sludge Wave - [TYPE]Poison[/TYPE] | Special | Taught by a friend's Muk | Emeric creates a wave of nasty sludge that goes everywhere. Has a 10% chance to poison the targets, and this may hit allies.
Giga Drain - [TYPE]Grass[/TYPE] | Special | Taught by a friend's Lilligant | Emeric creates a green energy-stealing ball that goes into the opponent, deals damage, and takes half the damage dealt back to Emeric's body, where he eats it and heals.
Species: Musharna - [TYPE]Psychic[/TYPE] Nickname: Elvira Ability: Telepathy - In-battle, this ability is used to contact her allies so they may avoid each other's area-of-effect (AoE) attacks. Outside of battle, this ability is used to allow Reggie a better understanding of Pokemon. Current Moves:
Yawn - [TYPE]Normal[/TYPE] | Status | Self-Taught | Elvira yawns and causes the opponent to yawn and get drowsy, where they will fall asleep later. If they are switched out, they will lose their drowsiness.
Dream Eater - [TYPE]Psychic[/TYPE] | Special | Self-Taught | Elvira goes to the opponent and a purple-pink mist comes from their head as she eats it, replenishing her stamina and healing minor to moderate wounds sustained in combat. This cannot be used if Elvira is under the effects of Heal Block and the healing effects of this move can be reversed if the opponent has Liquid Ooze as an ability. If holding a Big Root, the healing effects get stronger. Happier dreams taste sweeter than nightmares, but she's grown accustomed to the bitter taste of nightmares, so it doesn't bother has badly as it does the rest of her species. She can only do this when someone is sleeping. She can also instill sweet, dreamless sleep if she eats Reggie's dreams, allowing her trainer to sleep peacefully and without any fits or sleepless nights. Of course, she can only use this when Elvira is awake herself, so Reggie tends to allow Elvira a long nap during the day. Due to Elvira's sleep schedule, Reggie tends to partake in battles during the afternoon or evenings.
Calm Mind - [TYPE]Psychic[/TYPE] | Status | Self-Taught | Elvira calms her mind and raises her elemental/ranged attack and defense (Special Attack and Special Defense) in doing so, allowing her to calm her spirit and focus so she may deal more damage and take more hits.
Shock Wave - [TYPE]Electric[/TYPE] | Special | Taught by a friend's Zebstrika | Elvira creates a difficult to dodge quick electrical shock wave from around her body, but travels a much further distance wherever she is pointing. It won't paralyze, but makes up for it in speed.
Species: Shedinja Nickname: Bob (Genderless, but prefers male pronouns) Ability: Wonder Guard - Immune to damaging moves that are not super-effective. Doesn't prevent confusion damage, recoil, status moves; indirect damage from status conditions, weather, recoil, entry hazards; Future Sight, and Beat Up. Role Play, Skill Swap, Power of Alchemy, Receiver, and Wandering Spirit fails, but you can use Entrainment to copy this ability onto the user. It can be bypassed by abilities that ignore abilities (like Mold Breaker) and moves that do the same (like moves that are only on the G-Max Galarian Starters and Legendaries XD) Current Moves:
Shadow Sneak - [TYPE]Ghost[/TYPE] | Physical | Self-Taught | A priority move, Bob uses his shadow to quickly damage the target.
X-Scissor - [TYPE]Bug[/TYPE] | Physical | Taught by a friend's Leavanny | Bob uses his dried husky arms to slash at his opponent in a cross-scissor-like fashion.
Protect - [TYPE]Normal[/TYPE] | Status | Taught by a friend's Muk | Bob creates a protective green barrier that blocks all moves and damage from moves for that use. Does not stop weather or status condition damage, and it has a priority of +4. Each successive use decreases the chance of the move being successful on the next chance. If a Z-Move is used against him, Bob will faint.
Dig - [TYPE]Ground[/TYPE] | Physical | Self-Taught | Bob digs underneath the ground and either makes more holes to pop out of or directly damages the opponent by popping up from underneath them. Due to Wonder Guard, Bob can't be damaged by Magnitude or Earthquake or be hit by Fissure.
I'll give him more Pokemon later :3
His future Pokemon include Dreepy, Galarian Yamask, and Litwick.
Name: Neon Barry Age: 19 Gender: Male Personality: Neon is casual and friendly, often cracking a joke at every opportunity to break the ice. He makes friends easily and is enjoyable to be around. However, despite his casual demeanor, he is actually very intelligent, being smarter than most people he meets. He doesn't say this out loud of course, he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. However, despite his hidden intelligence, he doesn’t tend to think things through too well and will usually just go for it or speak his mind. When things get serious, he also gets serious, losing the joking and casual personality for a cold and focused one. He loves his pokémon and they love him. His pokémon are extremely loyal and would do anything for him. He has an especially good bond with Pulsio, who is his partner and the first pokémon he ever got. Likes: Mainly things that involve his occupations, like traveling, pokémon, and observing. He also likes people in general, and is an undeniable extrovert. He obviously likes winning as well. Dislikes: Losing, feeling insecure about himself, and stress. Despite his skills as a trainer, he always feels he can do better, which secretly causes him quite a bit of stress, although he’s usually able to keep it off his mind during most of the day. Physical Appearance: Neon is tall and slim, standing at 6'01". He has tan skin, dark brown eyes, and black hair with dark blue tips. While he isn’t a bodybuilder or anything like that, he has visible muscles, on his legs and arms especially, from his travels. He’s overall athletic, but not exactly what’d you call ‘buff’. Clothing and accessories: He wears a dark blue zip up jacket and a black t-shirt underneath, along with black sports pants with two dark blue lines running down each leg. He also wears dark blue tennis shoes and black fingerless gloves. He also has a backpack with all the essential trainer suppies. (And food and water and stuff he needs to survive, but, eh.) He has a watch on his left hand and a belt with the pokeballs that hold his main party. Partner pokémon: Pulsio the Lucario Other pokémon: Nightshot the Dragapult, Crimson the Scizor, Sobek the Krookodile, Dusty the Slaking, Athena the Gardevoir. (He will not be receiving anymore pokémon.) Occupation: Elite Trainer/ Traveler/ Researcher ( Last one is more of a hobby than an occupation.)
I might add his Pokémon’s traits and personality in more detail later.
