Trainers! This is the time you've all been waiting for... (pause for effect) THE START UP THREAD!!

You are in charge of this RP, you do whatever you want your character to do!! How about we start by getting your first pokemon from prof. Elm!!​
 
OOC: I signed up for this...? Not that I mind, this RP seems bitching. Ah well, I'll wing it.

Cole woke up slowly. He blinked for a solid five seconds. Part of this time was spent trying to remember where he was. He looked around, swiveling his head back and forth, scratching the mop of blond hair atop his head. He blinked his dark eyes once. Twice. This was not his room. His room had a picture of a girl in a bikini with a very nice pair of breasts on his wall. This room was cold and damp and had cleaning supplies.

Ah, hell. He had fallen asleep in the janitor's closet again. Luckily, he had at this point put an alarm in there. It was one of his favorite napping spots, and he often skipped class there. So he had ended up setting it up as a small bedroom, with some pillows, an alarm clock, and some clothes on the ceiling. He paid the janitor five euros a month to rent it out. And it had come in handy. He should be on time for getting his starter. He put on a red hoodie with a yin-yang symbol on the back, a pair of jeans, and some red sneakers. He took out his omnipresent hair and brushed his hair. It was messy, but tactically so. As he left the closet, he jumped out the window of the school, possibly landing on someone. He dusted himself off and headed for the lab.

OOC: @Agent_K, is it okay if Cole landed on your dude?
 
[[Sure, why not? Might be good for a bit of comic effect.]]

It was early morning and Agent K was skulking around New Bark Town. He was out of uniform, wearing a disguise of casual civilian clothes typical of a young man his age. Only the very top of a big, red letter 'R' was visible beneath his almost zipped-up jacket. The rest of his uniform had been crammed hastilly into his back pack.

So, what on Earth was he doing here at this time of the morning?

It was simple. Last time Team Rocket had operations in the Johto region, they were defeated a small band of young trainers. Their many triumphs at the time were equalled only by their monumental failures. But this time they were anticipating this. Agent K had been sent to New Bark Town to keep a watchful eye on any up and coming trainers that might pose a threat to their plans and he was to report back to headquarters on a regular basis. He didn't know exactly what plans his surperiors had in motion, but he didn't need to know. That wasn't his job.

There was another reason he was in New Bark Town, but it wasn't one he was particularly fond of. For several years he had been the master of an Umbreon. While it was little more than...well, a Pokemon, Agent K couldn't help growing at least a little attached to it. To his dismay, he had been required to leave it behind at Headquarters and obtain a new Pokemon from Professor Elm as part of his cover.

Oh, the indignity of it all.

Still, he had his orders and like any other loyal field agent he was going to obey them. He zipped his jacket up the rest of way and was about to make a beeline to Professor Elm laboratory when something big and heavy struck him on the back of the neck from above. He crumpled to the ground, dazed and confused and stayed there for a long moment.

An inauspicious start to his mission.
 
Luna was walking to Elm's laboratory to receive a pokemon so that she may begin her own journey. She happily breathed in the morning air loving the feel of the small town as opposed to her home of Goldenrod. As she passed by some of the villagers she noticed they were frightened of her, believing her to be a ghost. She didn't mind one bit though as she was used to it.

As she walked she passed by a school and saw a boy jump out the window and land on another boy. With a gasp of shock she ran over to the other boy kneeling down by him. "Are you okay?" she asked him with worry in her voice.
 
Cole emerged from the office, holding a Pokeball. Inside of it was a Pidgey. He saw a man who looked hurt next to the school.

"You okay there?" He asked. The guy was on the ground...Maybe he just liked sleeping a lot too?

"Call an ambulance! I'll perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!" Cole said to Luna.
 
"I've been worse." Agent K responded to the pair dismissively, staggering to his feet at last. "That really isn't going to be necessary. Now, excuse me. I need to visit Professor Elm's lab."

He made his way past the two, gently massaging the back of his neck along the way. He hadn't been here more than an hour and he had already attracted a great deal more attention than he had intended. He'd probably have to keep his distance for a while if that was going to be at all possible.

Oh, yeah, what am I, chopped liver? And where the hell did Cole come from? I don't recall seeing him in sign-ups.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So here I am, Alfred thought as he arrived in New Bark Town. After all this time, he was finally about to start his Johto Journey. For some odd reason, thinking about that reminded him of a TV show he had seen some time ago...

As he arrived, he saw three people already there. One of them, a boy, was walking away from the lab past another boy who looked to be in pain and a girl in desperate need of Coppertone Insta-Tan. Or something. He wasn't sure why, but he had a weird feeling about them, as well as an inkling that something had already happened. "Did I miss something?" he asked, somewhat tentatively, as he approached.
 
"Some people need to watch where they are going," Luna said to the newcomer, her voice showing annoyance at Cole as she got up from her kneeling position and went towards the lab as well. Once in the lab she greeted Prof. Elm who of course thought she was a ghost. After a few minutes of calming him down she received her vulpix and pokedex and went on her way towards the route right outside of New Bark Town.
 
Before long, Agent K had left New Bark Town and made his way west to Route 29. The Pokemon he had received from the Professor was a Bellsprout. It wasn't much but he figured that it was going to have to do for now. He'd been quick to leave that embarassing scene behind him but his reasons were two fold; it was clear that the others he had met back in New Bark Town were trainers. If they were the fledgling trainers that his superiors were so concerned about, he figured that it was going to be a good idea to stay ahead of them.

As it was, he was trailing the pale girl who had been so concerned for his well-being. If he was discovered he would explain that the two were simply travelling in the same direction - which was a half truth. The only other way out of New Bark Town was by crossing a vast body of water to the east. He could see her a few yards ahead of him. He was focusing so much on the pale girl that he almost tripped over a Sentret.

"Oh." He said. "Excuse me." He muttered.

He moved to step around the wild Pokemon but moved to block his path again. It looked up at him, regarding him with cheerful curiosity.

Agent K sighed. "I don't have time for this." He retrieved Bellsprout's Poke Ball and called it out. It appeared in a flash of light. "Use Vine Whip."

The Bellsprout obeyed at once, extending its vines and lashing fiercely at the wild Sentret. But the Sentret curled into a tight ball and rolled out of the way. It sprung forth, uncurling itself and swiping at Bellsprout with it's paws. Bellsprout withstood the Scratch attack and was able to wrap its vines around Sentret's body, lifting it high into the air. The Sentret struggled against Bellsprout's tight grip.

"That's good, Bellsprout. Hold it there." Agent K said, an empty Poke Ball in hand. Taking careful aim, he hurled the Poke Ball at the restrained Sentret.
 
Luna heard sounds of a battle behind her so she turned around to see the injured one fighting a sentret and trying to catch it. She then remembered she had yet to greet her new pokemon so releasing the vulpix she bent down to greet it. The fire type rubbed its head against her cheerfully as they listened to the sounds of battle behind them. After a moment Luna picked up the fire fox and walked towards the injured one, watching his battle from up close.
 
@DracoMan;

DAMN! Sorry bro, really didnt mean that, I got Heroic mixed up with you. Please dont take it the wrong way bro. ;-) Please. Join in. (sorry)
 
((Dude, I dunno. I just made a character. Not that I mind.))

"So...Doing anything tonight?" Cole asked Luna. Then Alfred asked if he missed something. "Do you have your pokemon yet, dude? You really should get one."

"Pidge!" Pidgey said.

"Anyways." He turned to Luna. "Are you a divine beast? Because you look like an Egyptian god."

OOC: Yu-Gi-Oh pick-up lines are how I get all the ladies. I have some more...
"Look into my blue eyes and tell me you don't want to see my dragon."
"You sure torment my Obelisk, baby."
"Can I slide my deck into your duel disk slot?"
"I want to bottomless your trap hole."
That kind of thing.
 
@Agent_K nice, captured.

Btw im rating captures on how good the post was. Eg:

He threw a pokeball. No. There is no explanation.

Whereas Agent K used a battle beforehand to prove he had weakened the pokemon first!
 
OOC: Ah? I should probably catch a Pokemon myself.

Something rustled in the bushes. Cole shifted his gaze. A head with long, white hair was protruding from the bushes.

"Yugi-boy! Fancy a duel?" The effeminate man asked, emerging from the thicket. He was wearing a red suit, and had a deck of cards in his hand.

"You're on!" Cole said. A rune shaped like an eye appeared on his forehead and glowed. He took out a deck, and began dueling.

"Alright, I'll put one monster face down, and a trap card, and I'll end my turn." Pegasus said.

"I'll throw a Pokeball at you!" Cole said. He tossed the ball at Pegasus' head, knocking the man out. He then took Pegasus' wallet and checked the man's body for any Pokemon. Like maybe an Oddish. Oddish was badass.
 
At Cole coming out of nowhere and attempting to pick Luna up, the pale girl hmphed and walked away looking for any pokemon that she might capture for herself as she continued towards Cherrygrove City. As she walked she saw two sentret playing and crash into a tree causing a hoothoot to land right on vulpix in her arms and then onto the ground. The hoothoot thinking her and vulpix were the ones that knocked it out of the tree attempted to use peck on them. Luna jumped out of the way before letting go of vulpix to battle.

"Well then. Vulpix use ember!" she commanded as the fox pokemon fired little balls of fire from its mouth at the hoothoot. Their opponent dodged by flapping its small wings to fly over the attack following it up with a hypnosis that vulpix managed to jump out of the way of. The hoothoot ran at vulpix with tackle which Luna had her partner counter with quick attack. Hoothoot's attack lost to the force of quick attack however the owl pokemon quickly recovered and fired a hypnosis again this time hitting its mark.

"Vulpix wake up," Luna called out to the sleeping fire fox as hoothoot began to peck on it. "Vulpix you got to get up. VULPIX!" Luna yelled the loudest she ever had causing the fire type to wake up using its tail to knock away hoothoot before firing another ember and inflicting a burn status. Luna took the opportunity of the burn status and threw a pokeball at the hoothoot.
 
OOC: Why does everything happen when I'm asleep or doing something away from home?

Skipping a bit...

IC: Alfred walked away from Professor Elm's lab, his new Totodile perched on his shoulder. "So, lil' buddy, ready to get on the road?"

"Toto," came the response. "Dile."

Alfred's excitement, however, was to be short-lived, as he started walking down Rt. 29 and saw:

Alfred blinked. And blinked again. What the... "You just saw that too, right?" he asked Totodile.

"Toto?"

Alfred blinked again and rubbed his eyes. Am I already seeing things?

OOC: Seriously, WTF?
 
Agent K soon arrived in Cherrygrove City, bypassing the pale girl who had been so concerned for his well-being earlier. She had been in the middle of a battle with a particularly vexed Hoothoot at the time and hoped that it would serve as enough of a distraction.

He arrived at the Pokemon Centre, had his Bellsprout and his new Sentret healed, purchased a few supplies and made his way to one of the lonlier pay phones.

"What is it?" s voice said on the other end of the line. This was one of his superiors.

"There's two of them. A possible third lagging behind." he said in a hushed voice. "Combined, they have a Vulpix and a Pidgey as well as a possible Totodile and Hoothoot."

"Good." his superior said. "Keep your eye on them and any other possible threat. And stay ahead of them." The conversation ended abruptly as the line went dead.

It had been a very brief exchange of words but was all that was necessary. He didn't linger here. Hanging up the phone, he left the Pokemon Centre and casually made his way to Route 30. Perhaps he would run into another trainer on the way.

OOC: Hey, he had a battle for it. Granted, it wasn't with the actual Pokemon, but it was a battle.

"Huh...I wonder what that nice looking dude went?" Cole wondered about the gentleman who had been wearing a uniform with a large R on it. He shrugged, as he took away Pegasus' millennium eye.

"Ow! You bastard, you got the wrong eye!" Pegasus screamed.

"Ah, sorry." Cole said, and popped the eye he had back in the socket, taking the other one.

"Thank you." Pegasus said. Cole turned to the others.

"So, you guys headed to Cherrygrove too?" He asked. "I'm Cole. My goal is to become the King of Games! And by that I mean Pokemon."
