Pokémon Journey: The Kalos Days

The Kalos Region is full of mysteries, with its diverse landscapes and unity of many different cultures. It is truly a melting pot where people from all over the Pokémon World assimilate to become closer to nature or even to travel around with their Pokémon. From the sun-drenched beaches of Shalour City to the frigid, bleak mountains of Snowbelle, this region has so much to offer. Where will you come in?

Kalos has been fairly peaceful at large, and continues to attract new trainers each day. However, after years in training, Cyrus is preparing to resurrect his infamous organization, Team Galactic, with his sights set on the region's two legendary Pokémon: Xerneas and Yveltal. While their intentions were mostly unclear, they have merged with the previously forgotten Team Flare, under the command of Lysandre, who were able to recover from a crucial defeat two years prior.

This story will chronicle a small group of trainers and coordinators who start as complete strangers to each other but grow to be friends and meet new Pokémon. Some turn out to be Professors and others doctors. Some become breeders while others become top flight coordinators and battlers. They take on the gyms, contests and any other challenges each region has to offer. However, their journey is not all fun and games. Along the way, they make rivals, encounter a villainous team and may have to say goodbye to some loved ones. They may even be employed to fight alongside the the gym leaders to restore Kalo's peaceful state. The best part of this world is, by far, the room for journey, discovery and adventure. The possibilities are endless and everyone has their own story to tell. But for now, just enjoy your journey.

Rules:
- No excessive swearing.
- No godmodding/flaming/bunnying/etc.
- Keep romance PG-13.
- Any Pokémon in the Kalos dex can be found in the wild, as long as their location is appropriate.
- Be fair to other players.
- Battling is anime-style. Put the word 'bananas' in your application if you read these rules.
- Levels do not exist in this roleplay.
- Sir Red is the co-GM, listen to what he says.

I encourage everyone to come up with their own sub-plots involving their character. It leads to a more enjoyable experience, in my opinion.

Applications:
Name: Character's name...
Age: Preferably 14 - 20, but I'll make exceptions.
Hometown/Region: Anywhere, excluding Kalos.

Appearance: What does your character look like? Please include physical appearance, as well as clothing.
Personality: What does your character think and act like? Just a few descriptive words, please, I'd like to see how each character behaves once the roleplay starts.
History: How did your character realize they wanted to become a trainer? What events shaped them into the person they are today?
Pokémon: Trainers traveling to Kalos for their journey may bring one Pokémon with them. This will serve as a sort-of starter. You may use any Pokémon except for legendaries. Does not have to be basic-stage.
Profession: Trainer, Coordinator, etc.
Other: Anything else you want to include.

To clear things up, your character can start out with any Pokémon they desire. This is due to the fact that they are all arriving from other regions.

My Application/Example:
Name: Jake Laurey
Age: 16
Hometown/Region: Cerulean City, Kanto

Appearance: Jake is moderately tall for his age, standing at 6'0, and has a rather fair complexion. He has a well-toned, stocky musculature, due to a hardy, vigorous lifestyle. Jake has shaggy, dirty blond hair, which swoops down to cover his light hazel eyes. He normally shoots for comfort rather than style in his clothing, wearing a blue t-shirt with a grey design of a '?' Unown printed on it, under a black zip-up hoodie. Alongside that, Jake usually sports faded, brown cargo jeans and a pair of black and white running sneakers. He tops off the look with a necklace, a Sharpedo tooth on a string that he received as a gift.

Personality: Outward, cautious, cheerful, avoids conflict, a bit headstrong, and intelligent.

History: He was born in Cerulean City, a year before his younger sister, making him the oldest of two. He was raised by his mother and father in a large manor house near the local gym, and, his family being neither poor nor rich, had a classic middle-class upbringing. Jake lived a fairly normal life. He had a lot of friends at school and was generally liked by the people who knew him. He would often train Water-type Pokemon with the Gym Leader, Misty, however, he wasn't overly fascinated by them like his sister was. While he did devote most of his time to Pokemon training, Jake also spent time studying to keep his grades up.

At the age of thirteen, he began getting into battling as a sport. He started watching tapes of famous trainer battles and became more interested in travelling. Once his parents discovered Jake's interest in battling, they sent him to the Pokemon Trainer School in Saffron City. He learned the basics and studied hard, and, even though he was outclassed by a few of the smarter students, graduated at the top of his class. Once he turned 16, his parents decided Jake could finally go on his journey.

Pokémon: Arcanine (Hachiko)
Profession: Trainer
Other: Jake likes bananas.

Re: Pokémon Journey: The Kalos Days

Name: Marcus Smith
Age: 15
Hometown/Region: Olivine City, Johto

Appearance: At 6 feet and 3 inches, Marcus is quite tall for his age. He has short brown hair which is usually combed over to the side. He also has large brown eyes. Usually, he'll be seen wearing a pair of ripped cargo jeans, and a solid white t-shirt, or sometimes even a sweatshirt on some of those really cold days. Marcus wears the same pair of orange tennis sneakers everywhere he goes, which, surprisingly have held out all of these years, but are horribly dirty and worn.

Personality: Very optimistic and cheerful. Gets angry over unnecessary things.

History: History: Marcus had a pretty swell childhood. He lived in a small cottage on the beach with his mother, dad, who worked for the Devon Corp.'s Johto Branch, and two older sisters. Marcus always dreamed of being a trainer, and was very jealous when his elder sister set off on her own Pokemon Journey. He came into harm’s way with Pokemon many times, unfortunately. Once, while playing catch with his friends, and going to retrieve the ball which had rolled away into the tall grass, Marcus was attacked by a Raticate. He even received terrible burns from a Magmortar’s flamethrower, which he still has scars from. Marcus was home schooled, and was an excellent student, but was constantly caught daydreaming. He was generally liked among the people who knew him, but Marcus still had trouble with bullies. One day, he was corned in an alleyway, by a couple of kids from his school who apparently had a bone to pick with him. It wouldn't have been that big of a deal, Marcus is a pretty strong kid, he could take them on. But, they had a bat. Marcus was suddenly rescued by a Aipom and its Swift. Out of gratitude, he took it home and gave the Pokemon a place to stay. In later years, the Aipom ended up living in the hollow oak next to his house. For his 12th birthday, Marcus received a Charmander, which is his current partner Pokemon.

Pokémon: Charizard
Profession: Trainer
Other: I herd u leik bananas...

Re: Pokémon Journey: The Kalos Days

Name: Finn Holt
Age: 16
Hometown/Region: Hoenn, Slateport City

Appearance: Standing at 5'7, Finn has long dark brown hair that goes to the bottom of his ears and has light skin. His eyes are piercing green eyes and his face is quite attractive. He wears a white v neck t-shirt and dark purple skinny jeans. He dons a formal black vest and fedora, black converse, and a black messenger bag. He is very proud of his appearance and will go to many lengths to look nice.

Personality: He makes most of his decisions based on aesthetic value and are quite vain. He is quite sassy and can come off as rude. he has a pure heart of gold and cares for his friends, but he never really had friends. He can be very sarcastic and amusing, a lot of his jokes being pretty bad puns. Even though he can come off harsh and vain, there is something strangely compelling about him. He is very loyal for the causes he cares about.

History: Finn grew up originally liking battles, but after he accidentally killed a Pokemon, he never touched competitive battling ever again. He had a relatively normal childhood, having two parents and a younger sister, Phoebe, never really having to deal with anything terrible. He began entering contests soon after the battling incident, and liked contests much better. Finn enjoys grooming his Gardevoir for contests and now strives to be the best at what he does. He once trained with Fantina of Sinnoh who suggested he visit Kalos.

Pokémon: Gardevoir (Princess)

Profession: Coordinator

Other: Bananas are really good. Hehe :p
 
Re: Pokémon Journey: The Kalos Days

She wears a red skirt, a matching jacket over a white blouse, and a red set of sneakers. She also wears a small charm bracelet on her arm with a crown, a shield, and a heart charm: One for each member of her family.
Personality: Emery is very bubbly, to the point of being oblivious to several gestures or jokes. She's also very curious, and this often leads to her getting in sticky situations. She's very kind-hearted though and will put others before herself. Some of her antics can be described of kind of childish, but when she needs to, she can force herself to be serious.
History: Emery comes from, not rich, but nowhere near poor, pair of hardworking parents. With her parents always working, she developed to be quite independent, and has often wandered off in curiosity and ended up in several misadventures in doing so. On one of these adventures, she ended up meeting her Zorua, who serves as her best friend and partner in crime. She has come to Kalos with her parents, due a job transfer on her mother's end.
Pokémon: Zorua
Profession: Undecided. There are so many options! *flails*

Re: Pokémon Journey: The Kalos Days

Name: Enzo DiCaprio

Age: 14

Town/Region: Snowpoint City/Sinnoh

Appearance: Standing tall at 5'9", Enzo is a rather wiry teenager with taut muscles. He has a black flat-brimmed trucker hat with purple accents, pinstripe vest, and a worn purple T-shirt on his chest. He wears purple long basketball shorts, with black socks w/ white stripes up to his thighs. He dons a pair of purple Hypervenom running shoes. His hair is black, with some silver streaks, usually combed back in a crest. He has cerulean blue eyes.

Personality: Enzo is usually quiet, timid, and soft-spoken. He has a big temper, and he easily loses it. While he doesn't erupt in his friend's faces a whole lot, he'll explode in anyone's face if they tried to take his cherished Pokemon. He has a fragile mind, and often shuts other people out.

History: Enzo grew up with his older brother Leon, who was usually a hot-headed trainer. He gave Enzo his first Pokemon, a Piplup named Forza, when the child was three years old. Enzo and Forza grew up together, side by side. The Piplup evolved once Enzo began to train him at age ten, respectively. Enzo traveled the region of Sinnoh for a year, then decided to come back home. He set off again, this time for the Indigo Plateau. He defeated Cynthia with his team of his Empoleon, Gyrados, Jolteon, Garchomp, Frosslass, and Houndoom. He left all but his Empoleon with Leon to be taken care of, then set off for Kalos.

Profession: Pokemon Trainer

Re: Pokémon Journey: The Kalos Days

Name: Kay
Age: 20
Hometown/Region: Saffron City

Appearance: Kay has short, dark choppy hair that he wears hidden beneath a beret. It couldn't be more obvious that it was one he purchased at the airport when he arrived. Over a red t-shirt, he wears a plain denim jacket with camouflage pattern cargo pants and a pair of sneakers.

Personality: Kay is quiet and reserved. He keeps to himself much of the time, making no effort to befriend anyone. Not that he particularly likes enemies. Over the years, he has learned to keep his head down. Despite this apparent shyness, he is bold and self-assured. When needed, he will rush head on in to battle, fighting with all the zeal and confidence of an esteemed veteran.

History: Since meeting a recruitment officer in the Cape of Cerulean more than a decade ago, Kay has been a member of the criminal organisation, Team Rocket. Throughout his career, he has traveled to all corners of the world on various missions. His tireless dedication to Team Rocket's cause has earned him a number of promotions over the years. Now he comes to Kalos.

For a holiday.

Yes, it's about time Kay took a break from the chaos of every day life as a field agent for Team Rocket. He has taken his annual leave and flown off to the exotic Kalos region for what he thinks will be a relaxing time away from work.

Pokémon: Umbreon
Profession: Field Agent

Also, bananas. I was looking out for something like that but didn't see it until just now. :S
 
Re: Pokémon Journey: The Kalos Days

Name: Kushagra Jain

Age: 12 (Please, if not, then 15)

Hometown/Region: Viridian City, Kanto

Appearance: Kushagra has a skin that a typical Indian would have, with dark gray medium length hair and brown eyes that turn black*. He is quite skinny for his age and he is underweight. He is 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 35 kgs. He normally wears a green baseball cap, a white t shirt, black pants, green jacket and white sneakers. He has a teal and silver backpack which has his things in it, and he has a belt with the Pokeballs on the right and tools like a scissor or a spanner for emergencies on the left.

Personality: Kush is usually not the type that talks a lot, but he only talks when he has something important to say. Otherwise, even with people he trusts, he barely ever speaks. Kush can think up of strategies in his mind in a minute, and put them to action as soon as the former is done. Kush is rather weak physically as he is very skinny, but his speed makes up for it. Kush likes to protect his friends and Pokemon, and rarely, in extreme cases, his *eyes will turn black when he has reached a high level emotion, like anger or depression.

History: Kush was born in Viridian City, to a medium class family. He received a newborn Tyrogue, whom he practiced battling with Gym Leader Blue. The Tyrogue liked boxing a lot, and so, Fister was his name. When Kush saw his Tyrogue evolve into a Hitmonchan, he was just plain happy. One day, his parents decided to send him on his own adventure, from where he went to Kalos to make Fister stronger...

Pokémon: Hitmonchan (Fister)

Profession: Trainer

Other: Kushagra likes to eat Bananas, Oranges, Grapes, Melon and other fruits.
