RP: Team Creation [Requesting closure ASAP]

Based off of The Challenge, an RP that I most fondly remember.

Team Creation

It is seven years after the Sinnoh games. Team Rocket has finally grown in power, obliterating teams Aqua, Magma and Galactic, and taking control over the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh regions, assigning individual Rocket Admins to watch over the latter three. As they spread their evil throughout these regions, they drove Gym leaders, Elite Four members and legendary Pokemon alike into hiding, with a select few taken into the Team's custody. Whole towns were reduced to crime infested pits, and any who resisted them were made to disappear, including Trainers such as Ash Ketchum and Gary Oak…

It was several months after Team Rockets takeover that a new Team was formed. A resistance, founded by three powerful Pokemon Trainers ("Goldhawk", "Bluefalcon" and "Blackskull"), called Team Creation, located on the now-abandoned Four Island, one of the three surviving Sevii Islands. The resistance grew, recruiting elite Pokemon Trainers, until one day, they were able to begin battle against the tyrants.

Several of these Trainers have been chosen to be sent on missions to find and retrieve the various members of the Pokemon Leagues and the legendary Pokemon of each region. These missions will be very dangerous, with Rockets around every corner, ready to kill any who they deem to be resisting their cause. Full attention will need to be given to the objective in order to survive.

Main Objectives:
[1] Acquire assistance from any willing outside Trainer and Pokemon. Be wary of Rocket spies.
[2] Locate and protect any and all gym leaders, Elite Four members and legendary Pokemon. Their assistance is vital to our victory.
[3] Infiltrate the main Rocket bases of Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh and capture the Rocket Admins and Executives watching over those regions. Use excessive force only if necessary.
[4] Discover the identity of the Kanto Admin and the location of the main Rocket base.
[5] Destroy the Kanto Rocket base and restore order.

Side Objectives:
[1] Train your Pokemon! Without their help, we'll be sitting Psyducks.
[2] Make consistent reports to the main base while on missions.
[3] While not on missions, make sure patrols are sent around the island. We don't want to be taken by surprise if the Rockets attack.
[4] Build your Pokemon team. As has always been, you are allowed six Pokemon with you at any time. Additionally, you may have two Pokemon in the Team Creation storage facility.

Character profile:

Fill this form out and PM it to me, should you wish to join.

Name: This should be obvious.
Age: Older than ten.
Hometown: Where is your character from?
Description: What does your character look like? Provide a sprite if you can.
Personality: Don't just say "Fun, smart, brave." How fun is he? Is he brave enough to attempt to sneak into a Rocket base by himself? Describe!
Background: What is your character's history?
Pokemon: You can put your choices here, but remember that unless your character had the Pokemon before joining the Team, then you need to make an IC post where s/he chooses them from the TC Pokemon storage.


NOTE ABOUT RELATIVES: In the case of relatives, keep your information correct! If you are the son of Ash and May, there is no WAY Lance or Bruno is going to be your uncle. And PLEASE, don't make your character related to every single Gym leader/Elite Four member; that is just plain annoying to other people.

NEW NOTE: It would appear that people have misunderstood me. Being related to a Gym Leader/other is NOT required. As a matter of fact, I would actually prefer it if not a lot of people were related to these characters, as they have usually, in the biographies, been killed by the Rockets, and this really impedes on the amount of characters we can have helping us.

Rules:

[1] POSITIONS ARE NOW FILLED. If you have joined and do not make a post in a two week span of time, your character will be killed, unless warning was given to me beforehand.

[2] Do NOT spam or flame. In the case of flaming, if you have a problem with someone, take it up with them or me through PM.

[3] You MUST post at LEAST five (5) lines. No exceptions.

[4] Please use the spell check feature before you submit your post. I know it might be irksome, but trust me, it helps a LOT.
AMMENDMENT: ALWAYS try your best to post with GOOD, NEAR-PERFECT GRAMMAR.

[5] Be realistic. Don't climb up Lavender Tower in one post and then climb back down it the next. I'm sure most people will agree with me when I say that RPs are more fun when they last longer. Furthermore, I don't want major enemies being taken out right at the beginning. Posts like this will be ignored.

[6] You may NOT win every single battle (a.k.a., god-modding). No, I do not mean you can win ten battles in a row and then lose one, I mean that you have to even out your wins and losses (against other players and non-Rocket NPCs, at least).

[7] Keep your evolutions realistic. I will elaborate in a few lines.

[8] Remember to use OOC (out of character) and IC (in character). It's almost impossible to tell whether or not you're making an IC post when you don't have those two tags.
EX usage:

IC: The Rocket grunt hit Bob in the back of the head, knocking him out.

OOC: Ooh, suspense.

[9] Script format is NOT allowed. Posts in this ridiculously bland format will be ignored.
EX:

Person1: Hi.
Person2: Hi.

Besides the fact that posts like this can not show character emotions and are extremely irksome to read, to me, it just seems like an easy way of getting past rule 3.

[10] Absolutely no shiny Pokemon. You may glimpse them in the wild, but no one may own them.

[11] Enjoy your time in this RP!

I apologize for the amount of rules, but due to past experiences, I felt that I needed to cover some extra areas.

Evolutions:

I will now explain rule 7. I do not want people evolving their Pokemon right off of the bat. I mean, where is the fun in that?

For the first evolution, your Pokemon may only evolve after they have fought in 6 battles. After 7 more battles, they may evolve again, and that is ONLY if all of your Pokemon have evolved at least once and your team is full.

Now, this leads me to something else. I do NOT want you putting battles in every other post of yours. Make them spread out, and don't make battles happen at the beginning of the game. Also, random Trainers that you beat in one hit do not count towards the battles that you need to fight to evolve your Pokemon.

NOTE: Due to Nincada's 2-in-1 evolution, if you start with it, it will take 12 battles for it to evolve.

NOTE: You also need permission from me to evolve your Pokemon.

In the case of Pokemon that require items, they will need to have fought in 4 battles before they can evolve, and must be traded to another person while holding that item, as in the games.


Non-starter Pokemon:

These are Pokemon that you are not allowed to start with, but can catch later on.
Marill, Jigglypuff, Clefairy and Pikachu – You may start with their preevolutions.
Dratini, Larvitar, Beldum, Bagon and Gible
Eevee – Too easy to evolve
Fossil Pokemon – Can be obtained via fossil later on
Any Pokemon that does not/can not evolve.

IMPORTANT: You must get permission from me to catch Pokemon.

These Pokemon are unobtainable – period.
Legendary Pokemon

Happy role-playing!


NOTICE: It has occured to me that very few - if not any - people have lost in situations where losing would be inevitable. I would like to remind everyone about rules 5 and 6. Please be more realistic in these situations.

OOC: All in good time, Blue. Meanwhile, even though we haven't started yet, be sure to use OOC: if your not posting an RP post.

Y'know, I think four people are enough at the moment, so I'll get this thing rolling.

And there are still five spots available for anyone who wants to join. Just thought I'd say that.

IC: "I'm going to be late," Kovian growled, rushing toward Goldhawk's office. He rounded the corner to the Commander's office, and saw that there were three other Trainers standing outside the door. He slowed his pace, breathing heavily as he came to stand by them.

"You're right on time," one of them said smugly, knocking on the door. A voice from within gave them permission to enter, and so they did.

Goldhawk was seated at his desk. As soon as the four Trainers were seated, he stood up, cleared his throat and addressed them.

"Good evening, Agents. You four have been called here so that I may assign to you some very important missions. Before you begin these, you will need to select three Pokemon to travel with you on these missions for your protection. You will also be split into two smaller groups, as opposed to one large group. In this way, we hope that more ground can be covered and more accomplishments made. Agent Kovian," Kovian sat straight up as his name was called "you will be paired up with Agent Stefan. Reports have been made that the Gym Leader Brock is in hiding somewhere around the ruins of Pewter City and Mount Moon. Search that area for him. Agent Dean and Agent Chris, you will travel to the Johto region and search near Goldenrod City for both the Gym Leaders Whitny and Bugsy; rumor has it that they have been working together near there. Do you understand your missions?"

"Yes, sir!" They answered in unison, standing up to salute him.

"Excellent. Now, proceed to the Pokemon storage facility near the Pokemon Center to choose your partners."

OOC: Woot! First RP post! Yeah, now we just need to choose our Pokemon (the ones listed on the first post), and then we can go on our missions.

And excuse me if this post seems cheesy; I haven't RPed in a while.

OOC: Thanks.

I would edit you post so that it doesn't make everyone else choose their Pokemon, though. Not only is it more fun when everyone gets to make a post where they choose them, but it gives more detail to the RP.

quote Bluepikky24

Ooc: It's not cheesy at all.
IC: When they got to the storage area, Chris said "I will choose to take Bulbasaur, Magby and Elekid". The person is charge said "Coming right up, Chris Ketchum". Chris saw the others looking questioningly at him, so he said "Yes. My father was Ash Ketchum, and my mother was Misty. They were both killed by Team Rocket". The person in charge walked up to Chris and handed him the three pokeballs. "Thank you" said Chris while he buckled the Pokeballs onto his belt. "You're very welcome" said the person, smiling. Once all the others had chose their Pokemon, they headed on their missions. Before they parted ways, they shook hands and wished each other luck. Chris said "Dean, let's go. We have undercover work to do". Dean replied "Right" and they set off for the ferry that would take them to Johto.

OOC: Editing done. Here's what it says now. Now it says after all the others had chosen, therefore the part after those words is going to happen after all the players have posted and chosen their Pokemon.

OOC: No problem.
IC: While he was waiting for the others to choose their Pokemon, Chris released his three chosen Pokemon. He said to himself "I do not believe my father is dead, he is just held prisoner. I will find him". Magby sneezed suddenly, and hot embers started dripping from it's nose. Chris nearly jumped right out of his skin but when he saw it was just Magby, he smiled and shook his head. "Magby, return!", he said. He took a piece of wood and his knife out of his pocket and started carving a statue. He saw Bulbasaur look at him like it wanted to do some carving too, so he smiled and took out another piece of wood out of his pocket and handed it to Bulbasaur, who happily began carving at it with it's Razor Leaf and Vine Whip attacks. Chris smiled and carried on carving into the wood, whistling a little tune as he worked.

Ooc: Darn right.
IC: A little later, Chris finished carving the thing he was doing and just held it in his hand, staring at it. It was a perfect wooden replica of the flute, from the second Pokemon movie, that his parents had shown him while on a trip to the Orange Islands. A stranger approached and asked if he wanted to battle. Chris put away his things and said "I would be glad to battle you. Two on two?" and the person replied "That sounds cool to me". Chris grinned. "Go, Magby and Bulbasaur!" he yelled. The trainer cooly flicked out two pokeballs. "Go, Tree and Hera!". The pokeballs burst open and out poped a Heracross and a Treecko. Chris began the match. "Magby, Flame Wheel! Bulbasaur, Tackle that Treecko!".

IC: Thirty minutes later, Chris was still locked in battle with his enemy. His Bulbasaur had fainted and they were both down to their last Pokemon. "Magby, flamethrower now!" he ordered. His foe's Heracross fainted. Chris recalled his Magby and him and Dean ran for the helicopter that would take them to Goldenrod City in Johto.
OOC: Sorry for making it so short, but I ran out of things to type.

IC:

Chris and Dean made their way down to the helicopter that would be taking them to Goldenrod City, it would take a while to arrive there.

"So, How long have you been a trainer?" Dean asked Chris, who had been silent for a while.
"About eight years, You?" Chris replied.
"Seven," Dean said "Had a Manectric when i was younger, it ran away though."

Chris and Dean were silent for a duration of the flight, watching clouds pass by pointing out oddly shaped ones.
"Pokémon are fantastic, don't you think Dean?" Chris said after a while.
"Yeah they are great aren't they, i remember watching my Dad battle trainers," Dean said, replying to Chris. "I was going to be the next Gym Leader of Vermillion City before all this happened, that along with my Dad disappearing."
"What about your parents Chris?" Dean asked

OOC: Blue, i would've made your character say more about himself, only because 1) I couldn't think of anything that would sound good, and 2) I didn't know if you would appreciate it.
