Pokemon - Future Echoes (Signups)

[Ultimate Charizard]

This is my Pokemon rpg i came up with a loooong time ago. Infact i wrote the idea as a Spin off (solo adventure) from the very first RPG i was ever involved in here at TPM, Genki Katchums 'Pokemon High' for anyone that may remember.
This wont be a Standard 'Trainer' rpg. I got tired of those and they rarely last so lets see what happens from here.

PLOT
----------

Welcome to the year 2550. 544 years into our Future which roughly works out to be 7/8 generations down the line. The world has advanced in many ways, a Utopian society. There is no crime, no disease and nothing to Fear. Well there is one thing to fear. Pokemon.
These arent normal pokemon however. Long ago, some say around 500 years ago a team of criminals set about the goal of capturing and enslaving the Worlds Pokemon. Many beleived them mad and many great trainers and pokemon alike rose to stop them. Over a century ago however, they suceeded and the Pokemon of the world dissapeared, captured by Team Rocket (yup its them). It wasnt long however before the world was introduced to a new type of Pokemon. Deciding that real pokemon were 'untrustworthy' and would eventually escape from the Teams own evil trainers and fight back against them a replacement was made. With the advancement of Robotics, mechanical clones of the Pokemon were made. Each showing the same strengths and abilities of their real life counterparts. The populace quickly learned to fear and despise anyone that controlled these pokemon. Grunts of this Team Rocket, commanded these monstrosities and they were given as Gifts to high ranking officials and members of any political power. As much a gift as a way of controlling the world, the reason crime didnt exist was simply because there was noone that dared enforce the laws against Team Rocket. Every form of Authority at the highest level firmly in their Pocket.
Everyone was under the thumb of Team Rocket, All except for one Company however. The Oak foundation for Pokemon Research was long regarded as the Foremost experts on Pokemonology and had long Defied the Rockets. Now reduced to a Museum, for people who have never seen a real life pokemon (even the staff there have never seen one apart from on Recordings) they have secretly endeavoured to find out what happened to the Real pokemon that they knew had once vanished from the planet. They used everything at their disposal untill one Researcher suggested the use of Time Travel. To go back and research pokemon back in their natural environment, possibly to bring some forward and repopulate the planet.
The Rockets found out about this plot however and knew this could not be allowed to happen. Nothing could stand up to their Robomon (as they had been nicknamed), nothing except maybe the real thing. They attacked the Foundation without Mercy. Crushing the building and destroying the technology.
....not before the machine was activated however. And this is where you come in. The machine did its job, in part. It looked back through time, locked onto a suitably large group of pokemon signals and opened a portal. Unfortunately it opened in reverse. It had found a large gathering of Pokemon, mainly in the Pokeball's of their trainers at this years Pokemon League Tournament and as the Portal opened, rather than creating a passage for the scientists, it pulled a number of trainers through. Dumping them into the future, into a world without Pokemon, except Theirs!

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

Wow, that was longer than planned. Long by my standards anyway. Basically you will be one of these Trainers. Pokemon League hopefulls, Contenders, or just plain spectators. You dont have to be masters, but you are all trainers to some degree. There will be Limitations on Pokemon and i will explain (dont want everyone with a Maxed out team.

There is no Pokemon transport sytem anymore (any other pokemon u had wont exist anymore) so the ones you pick here are your team for good. (well for now )

Teams should consist of 6 Pokemon. Only 2 can be fully evolved and you should have at least 2 Basic pokemon so the highest evolved team you could have would be 2 Fully evolved/2 2nd stage evo's/2 Basics. Pokemon that only evolve once, like Jynx would either be fully evolved or basic. Cannot be passed into the 2nd stage category. Meaning that any 2nd stagers you have would be able to evolve again (ie Wartortle or Graveller). Of course if you wish you can have a team of Basics or just no Full evolutions. Its upto you. You will be allowed 1 Non Evolver. (Snorlax/Aerodactly) which will Class as a 2nd stage rather than a Basic.

So, onto the form.

[Outlaw JT]

Name: Jackson Michaels, friends call him Jax
Age: 20
Gender: male
Looks: 6'2", bleached white hair with a bright blue streak going all the way back from each temple. Athletic build. Jackson has a disarming smile and a fire in his deep crystal blue eyes. He wears black pants, black boots, and a skin tight black sleeveless shirt under a thin blood red trench coat (ala Dante).
Personality: strong, determined, he's the kind of guy that never gives up and never lets up. The only thing that ever makes him hesitate is putting those he cares about in mortal danger. If they're already in mortal danger he does everything he can to get them out of it. Sometimes he can get a bit too serious but he usually keeps a level head and a good sense of humor. He's the kind of guy that takes charge when things get serious. He can be extremely stubborn.
Background: Jackson is a career pokemon trainer. He's been at it for 8 years. His first tournament was this one 5 years ago where he placed 16th with 8 other trainers. After the Kanto tournament he redoubled his efforts moving on to train for the Hoenn league championship. After 8 months of training and gymn battles he entered and finished 8th. Still not satisfied he moved back closer to home and began travelling and training in Johto. When the Johto league championship came he finished 4th. Frustrated with his inability to win any of the tournaments he spent the next year and a half travelling randomly, going wherever the wind took him. He ended up in the Orange Islands where he discovered an interesting new type of 'league'. It took two tries at one of the four badge challenges but he eventually got them all and was allowed to challenge the Orange Island Champion Drake. After a very long and taxing battle Jackson manages to win by a hair and claims his Orange League Trophy. Fueled by his recent triumph he is determined to return to Kanto just in time for the league championship tournament. He made it back from the Orange Islands with only a day to spare for registration.

name - Taneth (f) Has a comical behavior outside of battle.

name - Jade (f) Jade is very protective and nurturing. She'll go out of her way to protect her trainer and friends.
name - Golem (m) Golem can be a bit lazy but will always snap out of it when things get serious.

[Foguet]

Name: Danilot
Age: 18
Gender: male
Looks: 5'11", dark hair and darker eyes, with a slim build. Wears a black tank with white pants, yellow shoes.

Personality: He is very determined but tries to be helpful and friendly to others, and wants to make them happy if it's possible.

Background: Danilot took part in the Regional Pokémon Tournament of his native island, where Pokémon battles were not very popular and there weren't many trainers around. Because he was one of the few who took battles seriously, he won the Tournament with ease, and left towards Kanto to try and win the Indigo League.

After winning the necessary 8 badges, he took part in the Indigo League as well. Having reached the final, Danilot's Charizard was his last Pokémon against his rival's Castform, and the fire Pokémon seemed to clearly have the edge. Nevertheless, a sudden downpour turned the battle's tide in favour of Castform, who transformed into the water type and beat Charizard. After this, Danilot renounced, temporally at least, becoming the Champion, and decided to start training in order to receive a license to become the Gym Leader of his native island, hoping to make Pokémon more popular there.

He went back to the Pokémon League to fight for the right to open the Gym.

Pokemon:

name - Foguet A true fighter who will fight to exhaustion. Has a quite timid personality nevertheless.
name - Bell Likes dozing in the sun in the afternoon.
name - Psy Likes scaring people during the night. Except if it wants to sleep.
name - TeddyBeh Once was a HM slave with Cut, Strength and Surf but fortunately he has now forgotten those moves.
name - PIKACHU Cannot stand eating fish soup, adores lasagna.
name - Xucle The juice it produces from berries ferments and has a high alcohol component. Can make you drunk.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Sorry Foguet you'll have to rethink your pokemon.
Im not sure to allow a 3rd person to have a Charmander Evo but you dont have any basic pokemon. Alter your signup and ill see how it goes.

[Bulbasaur4]

[color=royalblue]
I would like to reserve a spot!!!

[Foguet]

Sorry Foguet you'll have to rethink your pokemon.
Im not sure to allow a 3rd person to have a Charmander Evo but you dont have any basic pokemon. Alter your signup and ill see how it goes.

Doesn't Pikachu count as a basic Pokémon? I mean, it was one before Pichu appeared in G/S/C, so you could say Pikachu is Basic and Pichu is pre-basic. :p But if I can't keep Pikachu, then I'll change it for...

name - Hely - Has swift changes of humour, it can laugh its head off (LOL) and start weeping the next minute. Usually happy though.

GASTLY, I CHOOSE YOU!

[Ultimate Charizard]

By basic i mean the lowest in the Current Evo line.
You still 1 over. Charizard, Golduck and Furret are all Full evo's and only Gastly counts as a Basic. Shuckle, as stated before is a Non evolver and counts as a Stage 2.

[Heald]

Name: Oliver Macartney, but goes by 'Mac'.
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Looks: Slim, about 5' 11". Has short black hair with a spikey fringe, brown eyes, and usually has a sly smile on his face. Usually wears steel-blue jeans, a black long-sleeved t-shirt and travels light, so carries everything he needs on his belt, which is concealed by a black hooded-top which he wears around his waist when he isn't wearing it.
Personality: Sly and cunning, cool and cocky. He has little respect for authority or anyone else for that matter, except for anyone who beats him in a Pokémon battle. One of his main flaws is he dislikes defeat and usually only picks battles with trainers he thinks he is capable of beating. This is not to say he is a weak trainer, in fact, he is an adept trainer, but he much prefers the spoils of victory than the thrill of a tense battle.
Background: A con-artist, a bluffer, a liar and a thief by trade; a rogue by all counts. He, however, is sort of benevolent - he doesn't con people who don't deserve it, such as genuinely nice people and perhaps elderly people, and only takes what he needs - not stealing or conning people with as much wealth as he does. He especially likes winding up Team Rocket members as he believes they are evil and thus fair game for his tricks. In fact, he acquired his Porygon by breaking into a Team Rocket lab when he wanted to release some of the Pokémon they were using for tests and snatched the Porygon in a Pokéball. He is low-key enough to stay under the police radar, meaning he is not a wanted man. This is the first time he has entered the Pokémon League, with a team he believes can beat anyone and a sizable cash prize that would be a welcome addition ot his coffers.
Pokemon: Ampharos, Tropius, Sealeo, Porygon, Ralts, Blaziken
Other: Nope.

[Bulbasaur4]

[color=royalblue]

Name: Raene Orlan
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Looks: [ See 1st Attachment ] She looks like that, but a little bit tanner because she's grown up on the Islands. She's also not very adept to cold weather... but can tolerate any type of hot weather. Her top remains the same but her bottoms are usually light jean shorts and she wears light brown sandals.
Personality: Raene is the type of girl who can’t sit still and watch the world pass her by. She is ambitious and doesn’t like the idea of everyone passing her up- which has a little bit to do on her family history. She’s a caring person and once she decides someone is her friend, she instantly becomes a strong advocate for them and is very protective. She has a very soft heart for pokemon and this is proven with her pokemon, Shade.
Background: Raene grew up on the Orange Islands and her family owned a rather large part of one of the Islands. That island was a refuge for injured pokemon, and Raene helped her parents take care of many of the pokemon. When she was eleven, she decided to take part in the Orange Island league. She had a few pokemon that she had nurtured back from health, and using them she managed to collect all of the badges and placed 2nd in the Orange Island tournament. Feeling pretty happy about her team, she decided that she wanted to go adventuring and didn’t want to be held to just the Orange Islands. So she said goodbye to her parents and entered in both the Kanto and Johto leagues. She did extremely well in both, placing in at least the top five… and it was the Kanto league that she withdrew. She was in the championship battle and suddenly her pokemon- Shade, fell extremely ill. Having the heart to know that her pokemon was more important than any battle, she withdrew and took several months off to take care of Shade. After that, she was given a letter by the Pokemon League giving her the grant and permission to start her own gym. She graciously accepted, however she decided she was going to try at the Kanto tournament once again and then start her gym afterwards. Thus, she entered the Kanto tournament and was in the finals… and then she was sucked into that time portal!
Pokemon:
Umbreon – [ Shade | F ] – Shade was rescued by police from Team Rocket when they were doing genetic experiments. Injured and weakened, they sent Shade to Raene’s parent’s facility to be taken care of. Shade has psychic enhancements from an Espeon, giving her glowing violet rings and ice-bitten blue eyes. (Hope that is okay Gav… but you know Shade! ^_^)
Arcanine – [ Fenrir | M ] – Fenrir is almost a normal Arcanine, but he is slightly larger and his hair is silky and longer. Also has blue eyes.
Eevee – [ Dawn | M ] – Dawn is the youngest pokemon out of all of Raene’s pokemon. Dawn tends to be a little bit niave and … well, very innocent.
Bagon – [ Loki | F ] – Loki was found by Raene near one of the shores of the islands. He appeared to be drowning so Raene rescued him.
Shuppet – [ Davi | M ] – Davi is pretty normal, Raene found Davi freaking out some locals and captured him.
Vaporeon - [ Tyle | M ] - Tyle was Raene's father's starter pokemon and was given as a gift.
Other: Not that I can think of yet.

[Foguet]

By basic i mean the lowest in the Current Evo line.
You still 1 over. Charizard, Golduck and Furret are all Full evo's and only Gastly counts as a Basic. Shuckle, as stated before is a Non evolver and counts as a Stage 2.

So that means I've got to change either Charizard, Golduck or Furret for a Basic Pokémon? Or must I make any other switch as well?

[Ultimate Charizard]

Thats basically it yes. One of your full evo's need to drop to a basic. Im trying to limit people so we dont have fully maxed out teams but apart from this one last switch your fine.

Kalah, i will allow you to have 1 more Full evo, and please, dont anyone think its favouritism. Ive already allowed Classy Cat an extra Non evolver since she hasnt taken a full team and Since Kalah has 2 full evo's and 3 Basics (ie no middle evolutions) and none of them are 3 stage evolvers ill allow Vaporeon.
Its not so much a strict sytem that im trying to crack down on i just wanted a system to stop people instantly going for a maxed out team. It will be better to make sure people have Balanced teams

[Foguet]

OK, then, I eliminate Golduck from my previous team and instead I put Sandshrew.

name - Sandwich Its name is not a play on Sandshrew. It's just because he likes putting bread and cheese together.

That leaves me with the following six Pokémon as my definitive team:

Charizard - Victreebel - Furret - Shuckle - Gastly - Sandshrew

[Bulbasaur4]

[color=royalblue]
I changed it. I'm looking forward to this starting! ^-^

[classy_cat18]

I changed mine too.

[Foguet]

So, to make things easier to see without everybody having to surf through all my previous posts, my DEFINITIVE team, after all the changes, is this:



PS: I like the image, new signature I suppose!

[*Duke*]

Name: Christopher Fawkes

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Looks: Stands about 6ft tall, brown hair, green eyes. Christopher has an athletic build he wears brown cargo pants and a white shirt with a green vest, along with black fingerless gloves with a thin piece of metal on top of the back of his hands.

Personality: Christopher is rather serious when it comes to training and makes sure that all of his Pokémon are in top fighting condition. He makes sure to push him and them to their limits and beyond.

Background: This is Christopher’s first year of entering. He’s very clueless as to what to expect, but he will rely on his Pokémon and knows that they will fight with all their strength.

Pokémon:

Ash (F) -


Sycamore (M) -


Saka (F) -


Kuja (M) -


Scry (F) -


Frost (M) -

[Ultimate Charizard]

Ok im going to say this Now. No more pokemon that have already been taken.
We now have 4 Charmander evo's, 2 Scizors, 2 Wartortle, 2 Shuckle...and there are hundreds of pokemon.

Duke, ill allow you to be the last Charizard user though if theres something else u could pick i would greatly appreciate it. Cant beleive noones gone for Tyranitar, Dragonite or Salamence yet.

[Bulbasaur4]

NOooooooooooo!!! Don't pick Salamence! I have his basic evolution form! ^_^ lol

[VirtualPlay]

Name: Kat Follin (short for Katharine, which she hates long)
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Looks: Kat is tall for her age, even taller than most boys her age. She has a natural slender build that quite often (mostly to her dismay) catches the eyes of boys. Her hair is a natural mix of brown and blond, both colors enhanced by her exposure to the sun. Her eyes are a bright sparkling green.
For clothes, Kat is used to wearing minimal clothing due to the heat of the Islands (despite the unwanted attention), but she had more of a choice in visiting the not-so-hot area of Kanto. On that day she was wearing a knee-length black jean skirt and a sky-blue baby-doll tee, as well as a set of white tights, a pair of plain black soft sneakers, and a lightweight, dark-blue zip-up jacket; in her bag is a blue jean ankle skirt she was planning to change into later after the sun set. Her bag is in the shape of a Snorlax and is very large and fuzzy.
Personality: Kat is a very bright and cheerful person, but her training journey has helped her grow out of any naïveté she might have had. She's very friendly, caring, and personable, assuming she's not dealing with a guy who's ogling her.
Background: Kat grew up and did most of her training around the Orange Islands. She lived close to Raene and had her as a close friend and went through the Orange Island league with her, though she didn't place very high in that tournament. When Raene went off to Kanto and Johto, Kat stayed behind and got better by re-entering the Orange Island tournament every year, improving enough to make 4th in the last tournament.
Kat has only been off of the Islands twice in her life. The first was to watch and cheer on Raene when she was in the Johto League tournament. She went back to the islands with Raene after she withdrew from the tournament. The only other time has been this time, when she went to cheer on Raene in the Kanto League tournament. And that's when she got sucked into the portal.
Pokemon:
Draggy (F - Dragonite)
Draggy was Kat's first Pokémon, raised from a Dratini she found injured in a small pool while traveling with her father (she was about 8 at the time). Draggy is very protective of Kat, but immediately trusts almost anyone that Kat trusts.
Aurora (F - Lapras)
Aurora was a gift to Kat from her father (who was a very successful trainer) when she wanted to go through the Orange Islands League. She was Kat's main source of transportation between islands, but has also been through many battles.
Gluttony (M - Snorlax)
Gluttony is rather ironically named, as he doesn't eat as much as most Snorlax do; he's also slightly smaller than the average Snorlax. Kathy found him swimming off the coast of her home island, causing some slightly dangerous waves, so she went out and caught him.
Clang (? - Metang)
Clang has a slightly mischievous nature about it, though it never lets anything go too far and knows not to pull anything on Kat.
Rocky (M - Larvitar)
Rocky is relatively new on Kat's team, having been caught by her just before her last Orange Islands tournament. Rocky is very energetic and really likes to battle; sometimes this gets him in spots of trouble, though.
Flare (M - Cyndaquil) {shiny}
Flare is the newest member on Kat's team, the only one who was caught after Kat's last Orange Island tournament. Kat found him being teased and bullied by a group of Cyndaquil near a volcano due to his different coloring, so she saved him and he's appreciated her for it.

Sorry pkmn4eva. Signups closed when i started the rpg. Besides which your signup is a little but vague and also i wouldnt have allowed all the 'special' pokemon. Especially the one that knows attacks it cant learn etc.
