One more rule to add: If you want to talk to someone else, use OOC then the text. Or post on their visitor messages.

Let's start! You start off in whatever city in Hoenn you want, and pretty much see the Dark Pokemon...Then it just goes from there!



Zachary groaned. The alarm clock had been buzzing for what seemed like an hour. He slammed his fist on the nightstand, fumbling for the snooze button. He pressed it, sinking his head back into the pillow.

"Wake up!" James shouted as he came charging into Zachary's room. "Mom said that you gotta get up! We're going on a vacation! To Lilycove!" Zachary just buried his head deeper, hoping that James would just go away. Instead, James jumped on the bed. "Get up!" He kept repeating. "Fine, fine, I'm up!" Zachary shouted, sitting up.

Aaron Reese, fresh from comfortable night's sleep in the Cove Lily, was already packing his bags. Today he'd set out for Sootopolis City and from there it was a quick surf to Pacificlog Town, where he knew the rumors of the Sealed Chamber were started.

Exiting the hotel, Reese took a quick walk over to the city lighthouse. It wasn't anything compared to the grand structure of his hometown of Olivine, but it did have a certain charm to it. Across the bay lay a large rock formation, in which, if his information was correct, the nefarious Team Aqua had once set up base. Sighing, Aaron walked back down the peninsula, just as the tide started rolling into the bay.

Behind him, his favorites Chloe and Victor, his Espeon and Houndoom, trotted along happily. The love those two have, Aaron thought. It's enough to set the sea ablaze.
 
Zachary hurriedly packed his suitcase. He wanted to get to Lilycove as soon as he could. "I can just smell the ocean already..." He mumbled, shoving a shirt into the suitcase.

James had already finished packing, and was pulling two suitcases and a backpack down the stairs. "C'mon!" He shouted to the rest of the house. "I wanna GO!"
 
Jericho lazily stirred his soggy, cold cereal. Mossdeep City had never been an exciting place, nor had his home, or the kitchen in which he now sat. He stared at the cereal box in front of him. He once again hunted down the names of various fruits in a word search on the back. He'd already solved all of the puzzles a long tme ago, but he had nothing better to do than ignore the penciled in answers and give it another go.
 
James had plugged in his Pokegear, and was already listening to what sounded like a horrible rap song almost immediately after getting on the S.S. Tidal. Zachary, on the other hand, had went to the highest deck to get a good video. He looked around, and spread his arms wide, feeling the sea breeze.
 
Aaron sat in the waiting room of the S.S. Tidal docking building. He would have ridden south on Reed, but he figured since the Tidal follows the route he meant to take anyway, it would simply be best to conserve his Gyrados' energy and hop off when they passed Pacificlog. He rubbed Chloe's head again, enjoying the velvety feel of it as he once again double-checked his count of the ceiling tiles. 2,968. Yep. None were added during the last couple minutes.
 
Naomi Synclair was on the S.S. Tidal. She put up her sunglasses and looked around for interesting people. A sigh escaped from her lips when she saw that, once again they all seemed dull. At least to her. Naomi was cradling her Rattata in her arms. She knew that some people found Rattatas to be revolting but she thought they were adorable.

"Rally! Go find someone halfway fascinating!" she cooed to the small purple Pokémon. It jumped out of her arms and immediately scurried away. It darted between legs and tables until it found someone it considered interesting. Then Rally pulled on their pantleg and growled.
 
Zachary felt something yank on his pants leg. "What the...?" He said, looking down. A Rattata was pulling at his pants leg with it's teeth. He bent down, and picked it up. "Hey there, who're you?" He asked it.
 
Saya sat on a tree branch, softly humming an unknown song. She was at Route 120 and almost at Route 121. She was taking a break from her long walk, and had decided to let her Pokemon out of their Pokeballs. Skipper and Ichigo were having a friendly match against each other, Ghost lazily pawed at the ground, and Star soared above them.

Sighing, Saya jumped from the branch and unto the ground. She dusted herself off and looked around. She saw two men staring at her, but other then them, nothing out of the ordinary. As she walked past the two men, she waved at them. They looked at each other and grinned.

"You know, a young lady like yourself shouldn't be walking around alone." One of them said as both men walked towards her. The one who spoke stopped in front of Saya, while the other one walked around untill he was right behind Saya, who smiled at the man that stood in front of her.

"Thanks, but I'm not alone." Soon after Saya said that, an angry screeched sounded from the sky. The men looked up, and so did Saya. They saw Star heading towards them. The man behind Saya screamed in pain as the Staraptor attacked him. The man infront of her took out a knife and run towards her, but stopped when Ghost jumped out in front of him with a Razor Wind prepared. The man took a step back, shaking slightly. He dropped the knife as a deafening roar shook the air. Both men turned around.

"R-r-r-RUN!" Both men shouted as they saw Skipper charging towards them, with Ichigo alongside him. Saya watched the two men run. She smiled and waved.

"Buh-bye! Hope you two don't get in twouble!" Skipper and Ichigo had stopped in front of her.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Lilycove isn't going to come to us!" Saya said as she ran in the direction of Lilycove.
 
Rally squeaked excitedly and dashed over to Naomi. She looked up at her owner eagerly. Naomi picked up the rat-like Pokémon and looked over at the green eyed boy. She laughed at the fact Rally found him at all interesting but waved hello nevertheless.
 
"Jay?"

"Yeah mom?"

"I know this is sudden, but your father and I are leaving for the day..." Jericho sighed. If his parents left, he knew that meant he would have to watch over the house alone. He took his attention away from the cereal box to look at his mother.

"So where are you two going?"

"Well, the S.S. Tidal is arriving at Lilycove today and your father and I were going to meet the captain for dinner. It's nothing big, we won't be gone for too long." Jericho watched as his mother packed her purse. He knew that meant they were going to be gone for most of the day. He started poking at his cereal again, staring into the soggy mess.

"Mind if I come?" He asked. His mother chuckled.

"What's to see in Lilycove?"

"I know they have a pretty big museum there... and I wouldn't mind checking out the department store." His mother sighed.

"Mom, you know the last time someone broke in to anyone's house here was two years ago, and that was when Mr. Meadows locked himself out of his house."

"Fine, but we're going to be gone most of the day so bring some money and other things to keep yourself occupied." Jericho smiled, dumped his cereal into the sink, and dashed up to his room, shoving money and Pokeballs into his pockets.
 
Zachary watched the Rattata run back to the trainer. He waved back at the girl. "Hi!" He called.
 
"What brings you to the S.S. Tidal?" asked Naomi Synclair with a snooty drawl.
 
Chloe's ears perked up and she turned her gaze from Victor to the east, where the S.S. Tidal would be coming from. A slight blue aura had covered her eyes. Aaron frowned. He knew that look. Future Sight was useful for more than just attacks, and it seemed Chloe had found something in the near future. And judging by the worried look on her furry face, it was anything but good.

Aaron sighed. Why did these things always pop up when he's working?
 
"Vacation in Lilycove, you?" Zach replied.

James leaned back in his reclining chair, with Pokegear blasting out music.
 
"Contests in Lilycove. Photo shoot too. I'm Naomi Synclair. And you are?" replied Naomi, making her voice grow extravagant sounding when she said her own name. Naomi loved the sound of camera snaps, clapping hands and her own voice.
 
Saya grinned from ear to ear as she ran through the Route, her Pokemon following her. Every now and then, she would start skipping. In about 16 minutes, she arrived in Lilycove.

"Wow! So big!" Saya didn't bother with returning her Pokemon as she looked at all the shops that lined the street.
 
Zachary raised an eyebrow. "Zachary Sinclair..." His voice dragging off near the end.

James screamed as something wet splashed on him. "What the hell!?" He shouted. "Who did that?" He leapt out of his chair, whirling around towards the on-deck swimming pool.
 
OOC: Whoa. I so didn't notice the last name thing. I was just reusing an old character. :-p

----

IC: "Nice last name." commented Naomi with a sneer whipping her head to the source of the commotion. She wondered what all the noise was about. Naomi saw a boy on a lower deck flailing about while loud music blasted.

OOC: She has to look down at James, cause he's on a lower deck. Just something I thought I'd mention.

IC: Zachary froze, not knowing what to say. He snapped out of it, and shouted to James. "What are you yelling about, you idiot?"
