THE ROCKET BLAST CONTEST



Well, now the truth is out… Team Rocket has been reincarnated as Rocket Reborn, their leader is Jessie’s daughter, and they’re the ones who kidnapped Lisa.

One has to wonder what their ultimate goals are, and what sort of villains are hiding on the way up this organization’s ladder. Well, for one of them, I don’t know…

Can you tell me?

I’m organizing a contest, and the winner will be able to create a unique user character – a high-ranking member of Rocket Reborn. This individual won’t be no grunt. In fact, he or she will be Jessica’s second most powerful trainer (or third, if you count Jessica herself).

So what do you have to do to win?

It all lies in anime history, dealing with the star, Ash Ketchum.

Now, Ash has traveled the world, seen more as a kid than most people do their whole lives. He’s saved the world several times, despite never getting recognition for it, and conquered many challenges.

Like all trainers, Ash keeps a PokeDex. Can you imagine what that device must be like by now?

Well… The number for “Pokémon Seen” is likely astronomical…

But… What about “Pokémon Owned”?

Here’s what I want you to do. Make a list of every Pokémon he has actually owned. It isn’t as hard as you may think. Use these guidelines:

1. List all Pokémon ever owned, including ones he has released.

2. Pokémon he has used that he borrowed from other trainers do not count. However, ones without trainers that joined him on a temporary basis do. No matter how briefly he had it, if it was legally his, include it.

3. If a Pokémon was caught at an early evolutionary form, and later evolved, include all evolutionary steps.

4. IM me with your answers. Do not clutter this board.

Whoever gets the most right wins. In the case of a tie, or more than one person getting a perfect score, I have a way to determine the winner.

The winner will get to design a high-ranking member of Rocket Reborn, who will appear numerous times in this fic. He can make the profile as detailed as he desires (including his or her team). I will send some guidelines, of course – a few Pokémon are not permitted, due to plot purposes.

So get cracking. This contest ends on midnight, July 5th.
