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!

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

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 Wink)

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.

"AW MY HEAD" I yelled as the universe stopped spinning. Little did i know how fitting an analogy that was. I heard more moans and groans around me, possibly someone throwing up. I stood slowly on shaky legs to see a number of people stood around me in a circle, not just around me but a whole bunch of people all lying on the ground or slowly getting up. They werent the same crowds i would have expected to see though. I had expected the crowd outside the Indigo Stadium, all making their way for the next match. Instead the crowds seemed somewhat pedestrain. No Hustle and Bustle and they were all dressed oddly. Kinda like a Sci-fi convention.
I looked at the sign in the background as i stood. Indigo Battle Museum it read. It looked similar to the Stadium but not as old...as if it had been torn down and replaced with an 'almost but not quite' copy.
The others within the Circle finally stood and got to their feet, looking as confused as myself. I checked my watch to see how long id been out and heard a few sniggers from the crowd. "look at their clothes i heard a few times. "well theyre dressed like hobo's maybe thats why they were all lying there came from another direction. I was about to speak up when a scream was heard from somewhere outside the circle. They parted to see a girl running from a small wooded area, screaming as loud as she could. Moments later the trees crashed down, broken cleanly in half by something and what looked to be at least Dozen Golem charged into view.

"Golem, i know they have them on Victory road but this far north?" someone else in the group commented. The others in the center of he circle instinctivley reached for their belts, as did myself and picking two pokeballs i threw them. As they flew i wondered why it was only this small bunch that had reacted, why wasnt anyone else helping?
"Scizor, Wartortle, Stop that Stampede!" i shouted as the Pokeballs opened. The others too had released their pokemon and as soon as they Materialised the crowd around us broke, running in panicked fear and the screams got louder. "THEY HAVE THEM TOO, THEYRE ROCKETS...RUN!"
'Rockets?' i thought, the name sounding familiar but i ignored it and turned back to the situation. Why they werent trying to help i had no idea but someone had to stop these Pokemon.

Just a quick opener, need to point out though, you do not know they are robots, and you do not know its the future.
