Activity has increased.
I am happy. 
As a result, here's a thought to anyone reading this who has not yet joined: If you have not seen ROTR yet, give it a look and consider joining it. We always welcome new players, and there's no doubt that we need the extra body -- currently there are only six or so active members, and while they are doing a fantastic job of continuing the story, more people would make things way more awesome.
Regardless, I'm glad to see things are picking up again. 
In other news, I got my driving permit today! So exciting!
UPDATE --- 1/24/12
Here's a handy little recap for anyone who was in the RPG in the last few months but has lost track of what's happening:
OOC: Oh heyhey it's Umbra of Doom. Glad to see you again!
All right, well, Blade listed off some of the more important things, but there's quite a bit he missed. So here's an organized list. =)
Team Liberty/Allies
- Silvermind has come back into Team Liberty's hands.
- Team Magma has officially allied with Team Liberty.
- A group of Liberty agents was traversing Hoenn and eventually came to Team Aqua's base. They were captured after a grueling battle.
- Meanwhile, Sonja B., Kyle E., Zach, Thomas S. and Justin I. continued their travels. While intending to go to Unova, they were sidetracked by a disturbance sensed by Shekou (Sheik
,) and ended up traveling north, to Ecruteak. On the way, they were joined by Orange.
- They were attacked by a group of Rocket Executives, led by Executive Riley. After a long fight they were interrupted by a being of destruction (Mr. Rage) and fled. Ecruteak was destroyed as a result. They came into possession of several Shiny Beasts and then headed to Unova (more information further down.)
- During the boat trip to Unova, Kyle began to experience hallucinations of sorts. After arriving at Unova, and receiving an Oshawott from Prof. Juniper (with Zach getting a Snivy,) he left the group to look for Richie Eston.
- The group soon after met up with Ryan Sanders and Ellen (whose last name I forget; both Konuju's characters.) Going to Striaton, they have just run into Evan Tierra.
- Earlier on, Ryan had been separated from his own group in Hoenn due to various conflicts, involving the deaths of both of Nuju Nui's PCs due to him leaving the RPG. He met up with TL's Entei, and together traveled to Unova after Entei told Ryan of the same dimension disturbance that Sheik had sensed. After arriving, they met with Ellen.
- Similar to the above, Alex Lockwood was separated from Ryan's group and will begin traveling to Unova shortly.
- In short, a lot of TL action is centered on Unova right now -- the search for Richie Eston; the search for the source of a lot of the D. disturbance; and quite a bit more soon enough.
Team Rocket
- A group of TR agents -- led mainly by Ethan Worth -- has discovered Team Aqua's return, inadvertently freeing Archie in the process. At the same time, they freed Ryan Sanders's imprisoned group from the HJS League, leading to the events talked about above.
- Gavin Braner has begun a confrontation with his father. This has yet to be finished, and I need to update it. XP
- A television broadcast was made, issued by Sleight and Joker, to pin Ecruteak's destruction on Team Liberty. No retaliation has been made thus far.
- Executives McKlellen and Riley have come into bigger play; more NPC usage is planned for the future, pending increased activity of the RPG.
- Surge, Koga and Sabrina were called to Chapel by Sleight. Meeting with McKlellen, they had been made into a three-person strike team, which will aim to target enemies of Team Rocket -- the HJSL, Teams Galactic, Energon and Liberty, etc. It is implied, however, by Koga's thoughts, that they are not working with TR for reasons that they have entire control over -- something that, spoiler alert, is meant to kick-start a plot for Jayron and Cyan at some point in the future.
- McKlellen, as well, has been revealed OOCly (specifically on the wiki) as an Aura wielder.
- Joker seems to be building something inside or around the Lake of Rage, though no one knows what.
The Searchers
- The entire organization has been destroyed by Ho-Oh.
- Searcher was forced into another dimension by Feral Tierra -- Evan Tierra's "dark half" given physical form by the powers of space.
- As a result Searcher is trapped and will most likely not return, rendering the entire organization defunct.
- During his imprisonment, Blackskull and Ethan Gold (canon Ethan/Gold) managed to escape their own dimensional imprisonment through the portal Searcher was being forced through, and have both been revealed to be alive. Obviously.
- They were teleported to Unova at the same time that Black (Blade's character) attacked the Nimbasa Ferris Wheel, causing enough of a distraction that he was not caught.
Team Aqua
- Team Aqua has been revealed to have returned to action, with Archie still at its head.
- TA has come into possession of a Lugia.
- Feral Tierra has (temporarily?) joined forces with Team Aqua.
- As a way to stop a group of attacking Liberty agents (who are now inactive, unfortunately) Feral "ate" a Liberty member named Jennifer Lorne.
- Archie is currently trying to secure an alliance with the Hojohsin League -- and with the Searchers gone and Neya inactive, rendering Soil Colossus unable to take their place, it's very likely he'll be successful.
Ford and his Operatives
- It's been revealed that Ford has a fourth operative. His name is not known.
- Ford has come into possession of the second Mewtwo as a result of Nine interrupting Quincy Adams's and Dara Trina's battle.
- James Pierce has engaged James Arthur in battle in Lilycove, atop the Hojohsin League's "white house," so to speak, after the latter attempted to gain information from Pierce's personal computer. So far Pierce hasn't lost a single Pokémon, and is currently fighting using a Cofagrigus and Chandelure, as well as using a Porygon-Z earlier.
- Maddison Hayes has begun a plot in Unova. Apparently, she plans on causing mass destruction in Castelia City, though for what purpose is unknown. She has recruited Black -- Blade's character -- to help her.
- The two came into a short conflict with Evan Tierra. Despite help from Landorus (see below,) Hayes managed to almost single-handedly defeat Evan without uttering a single command, through the use of her piccolo, Bronzong and Jynx.
- She has also been revealed to possess at least a minimal amount of psychic ability.
Team Plasma/Unova
- Evan Tierra has joined Team Plasma as a field agent.
- He has also been joined by Landorus, who, being impressed with Evan's spirit, managed to convince Team Plasma to let him join Evan.
- The Six Sages (not Ghetsis) have been revealed as the current leaders of Team Plasma.
- They have been made aware of the various issues -- the Darkrai, for instance -- which has influenced their willingness to bend several rules as of late.
- They are about to meet with Blackskull and Ethan Gold to talk about an attack on the Nimbasa Ferris Wheel, which Blackskull and Ethan are suspected of having taken part in.
Darkrai and Dimensional stuff
- The Ancient Darkrai have completely covered Sinnoh and have moved on to Hoenn.
- As a result of their attack in Lavaridge, a jogger was imbued with darkness power and corrupted. This would not be a huge concern, except for the fact that he released a massive field of energy around himself once he woke up that completely obliterated the landscape within a mile of Lavaridge's borders, empowering the Void Tower there. He survived his 'kamikaze,' and has been recovered by Nine.
- Nine suspects that there may be others like the jogger -- humans corrupted by the Darkrai's attacks instead of dying from them.
- He is currently attempting to speak with Mr. Rage, a similar being.
- Mr. Rage is actually a manifestation of pure fury and anger that appeared as a result of the massive dimensional imbalance. Upon his appearance, he completely destroyed the Tin Tower and Ecruteak City, single-handedly. Legendaries could not fight him (aside from Darkrai) due to his very presence causing insanity in them.
- Both are currently at the Lake of Rage.
- Kinali seems to have been captured by Shade. Seth is currently trying to locate the remaining Element Plates to get him back (iirc.)
- Also as a result of the dimensional imbalance, three Shiny Beasts -- Entei, Raikou and Suicune -- have appeared. They are traveling with Zach and Sonja's group in Unova to find the source and help fix it.
And I believe that covers most of it -- for you and everyone else.
And I'd also like to welcome back Umbra of Doom! Since he has been gone for a while! And such!
