[size=7]The Legends of Sotai
Season 1 Beta.
[color=#00a5ff]The Small Continent of Sotai, small and out of the way from its neighbors of Kanto and Johto. The Continent of Sotai has been virtually unknown to the Pokemon world until the events of April 22nd. That day, one year ago, a powerful force known as the Crystal Syndicate made their presence known to the world with the destruction of Kinyou. The complete and utter decimation of the city sent shockwaves around the Pokemon world and all Sotai Pokemon events were placed on hold.
Now, one year later, on the morning of April 22nd, new trainers begin their journey all over Sotai as gyms reopen and the Sotai Pokemon league gears up for the first year after the horrible incident. Yet, even now, the darkness of the Crystal Syndicate continues to influence Sotai. They plan to stay for good and to cause even more trouble. Can this new generation of trainers conquer the Crystal Syndicate while on their journey to the Pokemon League? And what of the Shop Keepers, Miners, and other workers of Sotai? What will be their story? What will be your story? Only you can tell it.
[color=lightgreen]Congratulations for making it into the Beta version of the ASB RPG. If you have already signed up, then you are free to start your journey. Please consult the Trainers Guide for descriptions on what the Routes and cities look like. On the morning that you start your journey, your character will receive several things in the mail. The first being a Pokeball of your starter, you will also receive a Pokedex, $200 in money to spend at the store in your town, two empty pokeballs, and a Pokenav in which you will be able to contact any of your friends in the Pokemon World at any time. You will also be able to take along your Wild Starter Pokemon, which you would have caught at any time before the beginning of your journey, or it could be a house pet. Now please forgive us for the clutter, we are still trying to get things up and running. Hopefully everything, including the Trainer's Guide and the Gym Battle topic will be up and running by tonight.
Well I have kept you long enough and I know you wish to start on your journey, so good luck, and GO!

Shoes…check! Clothes…check! Poliwag’s Pokeball? Check! Alright everything seemed ready to go. My parents paced back and forth outside of my room as I took one last look around. The Pokemon representative would be here to drop off my package any minute. This would be the last time that I would get to see my room, my house, and my parents. For months, maybe even years. Yet this was my journey to start off on, I wanted not just to become a Pokemon trainer, but also to perform shows with my Pokemon. Maybe even participate in Pokemon contests when they start up.
Yet now was not the time to think of far off fantasies, each trainer had to take their first few steps, just like I was about to do. The doorbell rang downstairs to signal the dropping off of a package. The movement behind my door of my parent’s feet stopped only momentarily before picking up even more frantically. With giddy anticipation I slung my knapsack over my shoulders and raced out of the door to my room. Only briefly catching the glimpse of my parents from the corner of my eye as I raced downstairs.
There it was, the white box with the Pokeball symbol on the top of it and on the sides the official seal of the Sotai Pokemon League. With out a second thought, I ripped over the package with an uncontrollable fervor. Inside was a guide for the Sotai region, along with a Pokenav, a small package of money, two empty Pokeballs, and finally the one possession I had been waiting for, my own Pokemon.
“Pokemon Go!” I commanded tossing the ball out onto the living room floor. In a magical spectacle of light a Tailow emerged from the ball, the majestic bird Pokemon took a few flaps around the room before landing on the sofa. “Hello there, I’m Ryan.” I said slowly grabbing a few Pokemon pellets out of my bag and holding them in my outstretched hand. The Tailow looked at them for a brief second before pecking them out of my hand. “That tickles.” I smiled childishly before petting the bird.
In the mirror I could see my parents watching proudly as I returned Tailow to it’s Pokeball. I turned back toward them, my eyes brimming with tears. “I promise to write.” I promised giving them a short wave. Both of them came over and hugged me tightly before walking me to the door. “Goodbye!” Tears began to stream down my cheeks as I ran out the door, not wanting to turn around for fear that I would run back to them.
I had a big journey set out ahead of me, and first thing first, I had to visit Magne*Mart for some gear, and then it was off to the local gym for my first battle. These were the first steps on my journey that would take me all over the world of Sotai. Was I really ready to begin it?
