"And perfect!" the man yelled, holding up a stack of players. "Handwritten letters all saying the same thing with the only difference is their names. Brilliant right!?" he yelled asking his gardevoir. The pokemon simply face-palmed, and using her psychic powers checked the letters for legibility. They were illegible. She then took new pieces of paper and wrote nine identical letters, in legible handwriting, she then put each in envelopes with nine different addresses one them. "Luna you're so cruel," the man whined. The gardevoir, now known as Luna rolled her eyes, placing the envelopes in his hands, and the scrap letters in the trash. The two then left the restaurant and mailed the letters. "Soon everything will fall into place," the man said as they walked away.

[SUB]Dear [Insert your OC's name here]

You are a young individual that wishes to be a trainer. However for one reason or another you are unable to achieve this. It could be because of financial issues, unable to pass the test, or maybe just that your parents will not let you. Whatever the reason, fear no more. I am offering you the chance. No need to pay the fees, or take the test, or get the approval of a professor. I only ask that you take care of the pokemon that I shall be giving you, and that they never leave your sides. These pokemon are very special, and if you accept, your journey will not be as simple, and the dangers will be more, however if you choose to accept. If you accept then meet me on route 150, October 15, outside of Central City along with up to eight others that have also received this letter.

Sincerely,
A friend.[/SUB]
Nano walked along cheerfully. Finally after years she would be a trainer. And perfect timing too. Her father was away and unreachable, and her mother, well she wouldn't wake up any time soon due to some sleep powder in her tea. Sure it was wrong of her to drug her mother, but meh, she had to escape and put distance so the woman couldn't catch her. Her mother wasn't a tracker like her father. She never even understood why they wouldn't let her be a trainer. They let her brother. Maybe it was because her brother got all the good traits, and she got the, well not good traits. That must be the reason. Favortism...or maybe her leg, but well there had to be more than her leg for them to keep her home.

Her combat boot clothed feet stopped as she pulled her black two strap bag up more onto her shoulders. Her outfit for the day in addition to the bag and boots was blue jeans tucked into her boots, a long sleeved white shirt and a knee length black hooded coat.

In front of her stood a man with short messy brown hair, chocolate eyes, tan skin, and a slim build. He was average height and looked to be early thirties. He wore brown work boots, jeans, and a black long sleeved with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Strange in Nano's mind considering it was fall, then again the wind chill was lower for the day. To tack on the strangeness was the fact that a large brown sack, bulging with objects inside, and a pure white gardevoir with purple eyes stood beside him.

Meanwhile not far behind Nano, Frey walked wearing knee high black boots, with black pants tucked into them. He had a long yellow coat with hood zipped up, the only indication showing his pants was the fact that the zipper only went to the waist. He carried a one strap brown bag, and his hair was in a braid reaching to his waist. He like Nano was lucky in that his mother was away and his father...well he wouldn't talk about that. To add on he felt rather well, enjoying the fact that what his parents had kept him from, was now coming true and he wold likewise prove them wrong. As he arrived he immediately thought of how the letter said up to eight others. Like Nano he simply waited, not saying a word. He would let the man speak first.

Why neither one considered that the man might be a stranger danger is beyond human comprehension.
 
Leo walked over to route 150, just as the letter had instructed him to. He was dressed casually, as usual, wearing a simple white jacket over his black tank-top. He had a certain spring in his step, and for good reason: he was actually going to be a trainer! He could hardly believe it. His family wasn't in the best of financial situations, and so up until now, the life of a trainer seemed like a pipe-dream at best. Whoever this mysterious letter writer was, Leo was grateful that he had been chosen. Judging from the letter, there were eight others as well. Leo always welcomed the opportunity to make some new friends.

Despite his joyful spirits, in the back of his mind something was nagging him. Specifically, the wording towards the end of the letter he had received:

"These pokemon are very special, and if you accept, your journey will not be as simple, and the dangers will be more..."

"The dangers will be more?" What exactly did that entail? It caused his parents some worry, that was for sure. He had managed to convince them that he would be alright, and so they let him meet this anonymous benefactor. He was confident that he could handle any problem that was thrown at him.

He made it to the meeting spot, noticing three others gathered there along with a Gardevoir. An older man, and a boy and girl that looked closer to his own age. It felt a bit awkward, having them all stand around not saying anything.

"So... I'm guessing you two got the same letter?" Leo asked Nano and Frey.

Amelia managed to trick her parents into believing her hockey practice was moved to a different time. Little do they know, the time she said it was now at was the exact time she was told to meet up at Route 150. She had never been one for rebellion, but the desire to become a trainer was too strong to ignore. She had never been able to become one due to the fact her family was quite poor, and becoming a trainer was out of the question. This was her one chance, and she had to take it even if it meant rebelling. After sneaking out of the house without catching the attention of her two younger sisters, Amelia began to walk to the route to receive her new, mysterious Pokemon.

With her hockey stick tied to a backpack slung on her shoulder, she continued to walk, her white tank top hanging against her body, light blue skinny jeans and black high tops completing her outfit. Her hair was up in a messy bun and her bangs were brushing against her forehead as usual. A gold clip adorned her raven hair. With this happiness, she would never even guess this letter was bad news. She noted the people already there, and decided to say nothing.

Marshall simply told his parents he went to go on a run. A black muscle shirt clung to his chest as he made his way onto Route 150. his feet came to a stop in front of the old man, his dark hazel eyes questioning.
 
Kia hummed under her breath as she walked to Route 150. A light breeze was blowing and her black hair was swinging around her head. Kia was very excited. Her parents had never let her be a trainer. They said she was too irresponsible, with all her tricks, and could never properly take care of a Pokémon.

Now she'd show them! She was about to get a special Pokémon!
 
"Click!" the sound echoed throughout the house before with a replaced by a scream so loud that would make Exploud green with envy. "Nyamo, you get your accursed behind back here right now and unlock this door or Arceus so help me I'll..." Nyamo's mother shouted from the basement before being interrupted by her son. "Sorry Mom, but sooner or later I'll have to go out into the world and discover myself." "I'll be sure to call home whenever I can", Nyamo said with little truth as he dashed out of his sixteen year prison known as his house (and the censored shouting from within). "I wonder what this special pokemon may be? Garchomp? Feraligatr? Garbodor?! Starmie?..." the teen said as he listed the pokemon he knew all the way to Route 150.
 
Studying and reading was the only thing he ever did in his life. Even though he had dreams of exploring the world Raymond was always pushed back by his parents, who thought that the mere idea of journeying around the region was just silly and didn't do anything to influence one's future. However, he had taken it upon himself to chase after his dream even if it meant going behind his parent's back. Part of him was curious in regards to what the person in the letter was talking about and what he would experience once he reached the meeting place.

Raymond walked along Route 150. He was wearing a blue hoodie with a white shirt underneath. He was wearing a pair of long jeans that hugged his legs along with a pair of sneakers. He was also carrying a red colored back strapped on his back, it was filled with all the things he grabbed at the last minute for his would be journey.

Eventually Raymond saw a group of people gathering in what he assumed was the meeting place, something that surprised him once he learned there were more people in on this. He noticed a strangely dressed man as well, though he assumed he was the one that had called them. "Good morning," he said to everyone."
 
Once everyone was gathered, the man finally spoke up. “Well then since all nine of you decided to take on this task…Nice to meet you I’m Noel,” the man, now known as Noel, stated cheerfully. “These,” he pulled out nine cards, “are your IDs.”

Nano frowned at this. “How? Trainer IDs always have pictures of the trainers and a lot of information so how…or are they fake?” she questioned, backing up slightly.

Noel laughed as he looked at this white gardevoir. “Luna if you please.” Luna lifted the cards with her psychic powers and gave them to the young trainers, each having correct information and pictures. “I have methods. Now then the pokémon.” Luna then lifted from the bag, nine eggs.

The eggs were placed in a line in front of them. In front of Nano was a black egg with light grey diamond shapes on the sides, and bumps like claws on the top. Frey’s egg was black with red stripes and gold claw like bumps on the sides. Ameilia’s was green with golden ring like patterns, and Raymond’s pure black with the top tipped in blue. Kia’s egg had a white tip, with a single red band on it, the rest being black, while Marshall’s was grey with blue circles on the sides and the top being tipped in grey with yellow in the middle. Nyamo’s was white with a green bush like pattern on the top, which also had a gracidea shape on it. Leo’s was white with red stripes and a red gem bump in the center.

“Touch your eggs,” he ordered them. The nine at the same time stepped up to the eggs, bending down and all placing their hands on them. The moment they touched them the eggs all glowed and cracked. Sitting in the shells were nine pokémon, each young, and small. Most just small enough to sit on shoulders, Kia’s was the size of her two hands, and Nyamo’s was small enough to fit in the palm of her hand. The nine pokémon looked up adoringly for just a moment before they all burst out crying.

Nano and Frey immediately covered their ears at the deafening sound. “Have fun with them and good luck! Oh and traveling together for at least a little might not be a bad idea!” Noel yelled over the noise before disappearing via teleport. Two ravens jaws dropped as they watched him ditch them. They looked at each other momentarily before stepping up to their respective pokémon and trying to calm them. Frey managed it almost immediately, the dragon/ghost calming in his arms.

Nano had a bit more trouble with this. “Come on stop crying, please,” she begged, bobbing the little guy. After a few minutes he finally calmed down.

((Forgot to say. They don't know about legendary pokemon, thus they don't know the names of their pokemon, also pokemon don't say their names in this RP :p))

Kia grinned hugely as she scooped up the little creature.

"You and I are gonna have a lot of fun, you know that? My name is Kia. I've never seen a Pokemon like you before."

Kia paused to gently poke one of the Pokemon's smoky limbs. To her surprise, it felt solid, and had a silky texture. Her brief moment of amazement was interrupted when the Pokemon commenced a new round of screams.

"I can't think straight with you wailing and moaning like that!" Kia exclaimed.

She was struck by a sudden thought.

"Babies like music, right? Calms them down or whatever?" she said to herself and pulled out her guitar, strumming the opening chords to Me and Bobby McGee.

"Busted flap in Baton Rouge
Waiting for a train
Feeling near as faded as my jeans..."
 
Marshall almost leapt back as a blinding light burst from the egg. Scooping up the dark gray theropod with caution, the boy observed it's blinking yellow eyes and it's icy, jagged wings. "You're so mysterious!" he exclaimed. Unlike the other Pokémon, this Ice-type seemed rather quiet.
 
Nyamo scooped the minuscule Pokémon carefully with one hand while trying to cover his ears with the other one. " Gah, for a tiny little thing you sure make a lot of noise!" he exclaimed as he searched his pocket for something that could pacify the screeching newborn.

He finally dug out a lollipop that was still wrapped in a layer of plastic. Babies loke candy right? I mean, that old saying should have some truth to it… Nyamo thought to himself as he carefully unwrapped the sugary sweet and placed it in front of the strange green Pokémon.

The Pokémon slowly stopped crying and sniffed the piece of candy that was almost as large as it before nibbling it contently. Nyamo let out a brief sigh and smiled lightly at his new Pokémon as it ate the candy gingerly.

(OC: I'm a boy, though I forgive you this time...))
 
Leo tapped the egg as instructed, seeing the form of a Palkia before him, a Pokemon that Leo did not recognize at all. "Now now, what have we here?"

Just as the words left his mouth, the Palkia began to cry, and the mystery man teleported away.

"H-hey wait!" Leo cried out, but it was in vain. The man had already left. Just what was going on anyways?

That answer would have to come later, as now he had a crying baby on his hands. He gently scooped up the pink dragon, the little Pokemon fitting snugly in his arms as it continued it's crying. Leo began to rock the creature back and forth, trying to sooth the baby with gentle motions.

"Hey now, little guy, it's okay..." Leo said in a soft, gentle tone. "Don't cry..." He softly pet the creature's head, continuing his rocking motions as the Pokemon began to calm down considerably. It's cries became softer, taking short breaths in-between sobs, which soon died down to tiny whimpers. Leo smiled, seeing the baby relaxing in his arms.

"Heh, who knew I'd be a daddy already?" Leo joked, looking at the Palkia in his arms.
 
( @Heliolisk; They are all newborns. They are wailing when they first hatch, just like a baby fresh out of the womb. I wrote that for a reason. Please not guys that if I write something a certain way that concerns more than just my characters, then it means something.))
 
Amelia softly tapped the egg, only to be greeted by a wailing baby Pokemon. She had never been too fond of children at all. Not only did she never plan to experience the "wonderful" miracle of birth, but they were annoying, irritating and most important to her situation now, loud. This even applied to her family; her two younger sisters were the most hyperactive girls someone was to ever see. They looked up to her, and that just made Amelia feel so much more uncomfortable with herself.

She was snapped out of her thoughts soon enough as the small, green and serpent like Pokemon continued to cry. "Oh...! Please don't do this, please don't!"
 
(Alright. Got it.)

Marshall began to panic as it's cries began to grow deafening. Biting his lip, his eyes widened with fright. "W-what do I do..?" he pondered aloud, trying anything; rocking him, stroking him, even holding him to his chest. Marshall wished the little dragon would calm down. None of those exercises seemed to work. Did it want food?
 
Nano almost dropped her new partner as he erupted into cries again. "Oh come on," she whined.

Frey took note of how Nyamo had managed to get his to calm down, and remembered times his parents had taken care of baby pokemon. "We should get them milk. Stores in the city sell it usually. Central City isn't too far away and hopefully the walking motion will satiate them enough for us to prepare for them. Though in good news the wailing means they have healthy lungs," he stated over the noise. He then holding the young grey dragon thing, began heading towards the city. Nano quickly followed, the cries of her own starting to silence once more.
 
Marshall, careful not to drop the little dragon, strided behind Nano quietly. Gently hushing Kyurem, the 13 year old saw Central City apprear on the horizon however small it was.
 
Raymond had tapped the egg as instructed and was surprised by what came out of it. He stared at the little critter that now sat crying in front of it. It was small and completely black with little wings spouting from its back, though it seemed like it couldn't move them at all. Either way, Raymond actually didn't become bothered by this as he had to help babysit a lot of his relatives kids during his life. He grabbed the newborn Pokemon and rocked it slightly in his arms. "Don't worry little guy, everything is gonna be okay," he said with a soothing voice as the Pokemon began to calm down.

He then saw one of the others beginning to walk and started to wonder something. "So before anything, shouldn't we kind of...introduce ourselves."
 
"I didn't sign up to act as mother for a totally unknown and loud Pokemon." Amelia frowned as she continued to stare at the crying Rayquaza. Of course, she wasn't aware of this fact. "Do Pokemon even drink milk? Why should I trust you complete strangers?" Coming off as more rude rather than kind, Amelia suddenly felt horrible about how she acted. It was mostly her nerves; she had no idea how much responsibility would have come with a baby Pokemon. After noticing a few of the others leave, she had no other sensible choice other than to follow them.

She looked around at the area quickly before walking with the others, her Pokemon still crying and her name still unknown to the others.
 
Raymond noticed that Amelia seemed to be having some trouble with her own Pokemon and as thus walked over to her. "Considering it was just born it's probably just startled," he noted while looking at it intensely. "Try petting it, but be careful about it, like it has to know there's no threat."
