It was always there. Watching, and waiting for its time to strike.
Condanna Town has always been an enigma. It's been abandoned ever since anyone could remember. No activity has been seen coming toward or from this ghost town. It's abandoned, as far as everyone can tell. But recently, there's been a discovery. An investigator was dispatched to see if there really was any activity. There weren't heard from afterward, and when people tried to find where they were...
They found pieces of the investigator, strewn throughout the town. And others who tried to investigate were never seen again. You are an investigator sent out to find the cause of this madness once and for all.
But be warned. Nightmares become real here. If you aren't careful, creatures of the night could end your life.

Gender: Female
Age: 23
Sexuality: Straight
Race: Human
Faction: Investigator
Personality: She's strict, and very serious about her job. She tends to give most people the cold shoulder, but if you can prove that you're trustworthy, she'll open up a bit. Inside, she's a kind and protective figure, but it's hidden behind her strict behavior.

History: Melanie was born in Eterna City, near the chilling atmosphere of Condanna Town. She grew up under strict parenting, and breezed through school with flying colors. She then continued to live in Eterna, eventually becoming a CIA agent at 18, being one of the youngest agents. She was assigned various missions by the government, eventually becoming married and having children at 20.
Once she turned 23, she took a leave from her job, as she needed a break from her unrelenting profession. But then, one of her children wandered off into Condanna Town. And he wasn't seen again. When she tried to find him, she found a hooded man, draped in robes that made him blend in with the night air.
She had a lead. After all the years of not knowing how these events occurred, she finally had a lead. She decided to host an investigation, and to stop everyone else from meeting the same fate as her child...

Name: Zaar
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Race: Human, but infused with demonic blood.
Sexuality: "Love is for fools."
Faction: Cult Leader
Personality: Zaar's personality is twofold. Nomrally, he's cold, remorseless, and thinks that everyone, with no exceptions, is inherently underneath him, and treats them as such. However, either in the heat of battle or when his temper is flared, Zaar grows insane, going on a psychopathic, mass-murdering rampage, howling with laughter as the blood of his foes flow around him.
Appearance: Is as skinny as a twig, with extremely pale skin. Has blood-red eyes, the left of which having a gruesome scar that is covered by his unkempt raven-dark hair. Wears a pitch-black robe, with a matching hood. His eyes tend to glow when he's enraged.
History: Zaar once lived in Ecruteak, having an odd interest in dark and sinister Pokemon, and therefore was shunned by everyone, including his own parents and siblings. So, he ran away to Saffron City at the age of 13, hearing rumors of the legendary Pokemon Mew. When he finally caught the creature, a deep, booming voice called out to him from the skies.
"I have been watching you. You have the potential to become a servant of darkness, and perhaps more. Raise it to the air, so I may show you my power!"
Zaar obliged, and in an instant, Mew was transformed into a creature of darkness. After that incident, Zaar felt that something deep inside of him had been awakened, and formed a cult worshiping this king of darkness. At the age of 17, Zaar recieved his final test. His master called out to him from the sky once again...
"It is time for your final test. Are you prepared?" Zaar fell to his knees. He could not imagine that his final test would come so soon...
"Yes...give your power to me, so we may rule this world as one!!" Zaar said.
"FOOL!!" his master roared. "Power is a thing earned, not given! I have one last test for you.
"To prove your worth, you must survive the very thing that no one to this day has conquered."
The sky shook, and a bolt of lightning was shot from the sky, and landed directly on Zaar's left eye, giving him his scar. He then fell to the ground, motionless, and dead.
Or so you think...after months of laying at that exact spot, he rose again. No one knows what happened next, or what happened to him to this day. People found the person who was his friend, Kokirkimu, laying on the ground, barely breathing.
After many failed attempts at world domination, Zaar finally unveiled his greatest scheme yet. After all these years, he would finally achieve his goals...
Pokemon: Spiritomb, Houndoom, Shiftry, Sharpedo, Honchkrow, and Weavile.
Weaponry: Mortemietitore, his dual katana, Sanguezanna, his bloody scythe, Tenebrefrantoio, his warhammer, and Scacco matto, his dual Model 1887.
Theme Song: Scream Aim Fire by Bullet for my Valentine
Other: Master of the dark arts, including enshrouding areas in darkness and firing pulses of malevolent energy. Also is capable of telekinesis and levitation.
Name: Dusza Koning
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Sexuality: Straight
Race: Human
Faction: Cult Member
Appearance: Has black hair, swept to his left, palish skin, and dark purple eyes. Wears a black jacket with a dark purple T-shirt underneath. Has dark purple gloves with an arcane symbol on them, (Which will be used for his powers, once he gets them) and black boots.
Personality: Doesn't really like conversing with others, although he is charismatic and has quite a way with words. Tends to stay in the shadows, and prefers to act behind the scenes than in the front lines. Is quite calm, and rarely lashes out at people, if at all. Also considers death as a plaything, to be toyed with and used to his advantage. Just because he rarely lashes out at anyone doesn't mean that he isn't dangerous. He's a wicked strategist.
History: Dusza was born in Lavender Town, and always wondered at how Pokemon could return to the world of the living after death. He made frequent visits to the Lavender Tower, and became friends with the ghosts there with ease.
But then, the Tower was replaced with the Kanto Radio Tower, and Dusza was furious. The ghosts could not have a resting place within this world. The creatures always fascinated him, and the government took him away from him.
He was 16 years old on that day, and he left his hometown, tradition being shoved to the side by technology. He traveled around the regions, visiting all of the places that many would fear to go to, for they were haunted. He captured numerous ghosts in those areas, forming his present team.
On his first visit to the Old Chateau, he met a Rotom. The two immediately became friends, and Dusza captured the Pokemon, the two becoming companions easily. On his second visit, he saw people going to and from the area.
But on his third visit, the building was turned into a headquarters. It was the Lavender Tower all over again. But it was not so. Ghosts still roamed the area. Dusza joined Team Pride, mainly just because it was the first home he had for 13 years, and one with his favorite kind of Pokemon in it.
After "graduating" from Team Pride, he finally met Zaar, the one who caused the downfall of the organization before Skye took over. Eventually realizing that Zaar's goals would envelop the world, he decided to join him in his plans.
Pokemon: Dusknoir, Shedinja, Froslass, Drifblim, and Rotom.
Weapons: A single knife, hidden in his jacket.
Theme Song: Tear Away by Drowning Pool
Other: Can summon the dead to do his bidding, and can turn invisible for a short amount of time. All of these sap his physical strength, however.
Name: No one knows, but he likes to be referred to as Wildcard.
Gender: Male
Age: 4,298, but looks like he's 36.
Sexuality: Straight as an arrow.
Race: Vampire
Faction: Cult Member
Personality: Insanity personified. Mutters to himself frequently, sometimes bursts out into laughter for no reason at all, and is, for lack of a better word, crazy and unpredictable. He's also very hyperactive, and extremely agile in combat. If he's able to keep his composure for long enough, he's a master strategist. He hates disguising himself as a human, and prefers to stay in the shadows than risk getting caught out in the open.
Appearance: Grayish skin, and extremely messy black hair. Has yellow eyes when he's going as a human, and red eyes as a vampire. Wears classic vampire attire: black robes, boots and a cape. Also has gray bandages on his hands, but he doesn't respond to any questions asking why. He also has a tatoo of a red club, the kind in a deck of playing cards, over his left eye, his sharp fangs while in vampire form, and his claws.
History: Wildcard was born in Mahogany Town, but he was never exactly...normal. His madness was apparent ever since his childhood. His parents died 7 years after his birth, due to unknown causes. He spent the majority of his time in the forests of the Lake of Rage, saying that being away from civilization helped him focus his mind.
At the age of 12, his insanity grew even further. He never ventured out of the forests that were quickly becoming his home. But it was also his first encounter with a Pokemon. A Rattata, to be specific. The thing gave him a nasty bite to the leg. So what did he do?
He stabbed it in the neck with a sharp stick.
At 17, which was the age that he came across Ecruteak City, heheard about, and saw flyers for, Gemmeny's Pokemon Academy. Thinking that he could use some education about Pokemon, he signed up.
But then, his true motives were revealed as he attempted to destroy Gemmeny's with Zaar and utilize the power of the Regi Ruins located in the area. He then joined Zaar, assisting him in unveiling his greatest scheme yet...
Pokemon: Crobat, Steelix, Tyranitar, Aggron, and Garchomp.
Weaponry: A bow, the arrowed of which are tipped with a deadly poison. He also uses throwing knifes.
Theme Song: When You're Evil by Voltaire
