IC - Justin Iredsi, Lilycove City, HoennJustin raised an eyebrow. "What kind of work?" Justin asked. His eyes were cold, attempting to intimidate the other.Sparks began circling the room, and Darkon, his Pawniard, stood in the shadow of a hallway, observing.

OOC: Alrighty then. ^-^IC - Justin Iredsi, Lilycove City, Hoenn"Heh," Justin said, as the lights of the machine flashed on and off, furthering illuminating the Center. Finally, he turned to face who he was talking to. "Oh. That's a nice mask there."He paused, pondering whether or not he should ask a question that could cause a battle, probably destroying the Center. "Well," he began, retrieving his Pokeballs. "Are you with the Rockets?"

IC - Justin Iredsi, Lilycove City, Hoenn"Don't know," Justin replied, not turning around and jumping over the counter, in order to heal his Pokemon. "I just got here from... Nevermind. What brings you to my hometown?"OOC: So, about carrying legendaries with our characters, what happened to the Regice Justin brought back, way back during the invasion of Four Island? I know he used it to awaken Regigigas, but I don't recall anything afterwards?In short, permission to reclaim that Regice?

IC - Zac Flash, Unova"Wait for the signal.." Zac said quietly, crouching down in the foliage. "I expect Plasma Grunts to notice two Pokemon sneaking in fairly easily."And the signal did come. Into the air flew bricks from the temple, and a Shadow Ball and Psybeam, followed by a beam of white energy. "Alright," he said, shooting to his feet. "Jaws, plow through whatever they throw, and Kongo, take care of whatever still moves." His two Pokemon nodded and headed towards the temple, attracting shouts and Pokemon. Zac saw Jaws swing her massive horn around, knocking both Plasma agents and their Pokemon backwards, Kongo as her bodyguard.He reached up and ripped a hefty branch off a nearby tree and ran to rejoin his Pokemon.IC - Justin Iredsi, Lilycove City, HoennJustin walked into the empty Pokemon Center, shocked at what he found. The nurse was laying over the counter; there were several people laying on couches and the floor. "They're not dead, right?" He asked Sparks. The Manetric ran up to the nurse and examined the situation. Having licked her face and hands several times, Sparks returned and shook his head no."Huh.." Justin walked over to the counter himself and heard a strange noise; snoring. "She's... Asleep?"

OOC: I need to become reactive...I don't get it either. Working out plot-stuffs for Justin, but I don't know what Eric or Pierce will be doing.IC - Zac Flash, UnovaDuskull returned to Zac, reporting the news with wild hand motions. There was indeed a Meloetta in the temple, but it was literally stuffed to the brim with Plasma agents."Hm.." Zac pondered. "This'll be tough." He looked around, making sure he wasn't being watched. "Well, Melon, you and Duskull try to sneak past the Plasma. If you can get into her Chamber, convince her to come with us. Improvise. If you need raw firepower, Kongo, Jaws and I will be watching somewhere close. Just blow stuff up."

No, those are the English names. They're even posted on the official website.

I really like Yveltal, but I do think it could use one less "l."

IC - Pierce, Route 38, JohtoPierce caught it, marveling at the rare stone. "Hope to never see you again," he said, not looking up. "Now.." He unclipped a Pokeball from his belt, and threw out Snorunt."I've got something for you," he said, tossing the stone up. "I don't know how you guys do this, so here." Pierce placed the Dawn Stone on the grown, and Snorunt went running towards it. The little ice Pokemon took the stone inside its coat, and she began to glow."Hey, are you done?" Eric asked, walking outside and immediately seeing the blinding white light. "Guess so."Tsk, Froslass said. She waved her long arms gracefully, never having much more than stubs before.

IC - Pierce, Route 38, Johto"Well," Pierce said, stepping outside. "We're out. Fork it over, then we never have to see each other again."IC - Zac Flash, forest near Anville Town, UnovaWithout going very far, Duskull could immediately sense the presence of another; the psychic aura was radiating out of the temple, easily felt by a psychic or ghost. The thought of engaging the being in battle shook him. And with the Meloetta came the guards. The temple seemed to be swarming with them; four secured the entrance, and there were numerous Plasma agents littering the roof.IC - Justin, Lilycove City, Hoenn"WHAT IS THIS FOG."Justin was walking aimlessly through the shell of his hometown, getting lost. All of his life, he had never gotten lost here before, even during midnight. But there was something different about this darkness. It almost seemed to engulf light, heat, and life itself. He had never witnessed such a thing before; even Sparks emitting light wasn't much help."Well," he said, "I think the Center's this way.. Come on, we need Plush healed so we can get out of this nightmare."OOC: Would the situation regarding Black cause the amount of Plasma in the region to gravitate there? Or is Meloetta an equal priority?

I actually like the name Yveltal. '-'

 

But anyway, it's not like the new hero(ine) is radically gigantic. He's probably about half the size of the Route sign, when they're side by side. And it's not like the sprites haven't been getting bigger.

Pokemon DirectLooks like we've got a time and place. I'm not familiar with the name Iwata, though.EDIT: View article below.

They could announce RS remakes for the 3DS, which wouldn't surprise me. Seems like a whole ton of people want them; what better way to make more money than to force people to get a 3DS?I was rocking my DS Lite until I dropped it one day and the right side of my top screen unlatched. Then I dropped it again and it completely blacked out on me, the top screen. I use it for GBA games now, but hopefully I won't need to for very much longer :>

IC - Zac Flash, Unovan ForestThe forest was a familiar sight to Zac, having trekked through it once before with Summer. Having said this, the temple was not difficult to find. But once again, the runner-up of the PNT was faced with guards.Team Plasma.. he thought. They aren't as nice as people want them to think.Zac reached into his bag and pulled out a Pokeball. "Okay Duskull," he said, letting his mischievous ghost out. "see if you can phase through the walls; check if Meloetta is actually in there. And try not to get caught."Duskull looked back at Zac with a face that said "really?". Though, Zac couldn't tell if it was due to his instructions or because Duskull can do all that with ease."If worse comes to worst," he said, reaching into his bag again. "we can always fight again. Kongo proved to be quite powerful a few days ago."IC - Pierce, Route 38 Base, Johto"How will me taking you outside guarentee your freedom?" Pierce let out a laugh. "Well, if you're going to be that stubborn, fine. But I'm already telling you, I'm just interested in the Dawn Stone. It would appear that Team Rocket hasn't directly noticed my contribution to the organization, so I could really care less if they imprison you right now."He brought Jared to his feet, still handcuffed. "Exit's this way," Pierce said, gesturing at the door.

Electivire is awesome. Almost the MVP of my team.Anyway, is anyone else excited about the international announcement Game Freak is going to make on the 8th? The fact that it isn't just going to Japan is big enough news.However, at the same time, because it is an international announcement, I don't expect them to be revealing a game. I could be very wrong though. If anything, I really want them to announce the RSE remakes. D': My local Gamestop doesn't sell GBA games anymore, much less DS Lites, so compatibility is starting to fade out. Not that you can't get all the Hoenn Pokemon with a few DS games.

OOC: Not checking BZP for two days really puts a toll on things, but it's to be expected.IC - Gargh, Ga-MetruThings certainly moved quickly. The little group of spectators had dispersed, not that it bothered Gargh too much. He could still hear each and every one of them, since he removed his shield of silence. Once he was a feasible distance away from the blast radius, of course.Decisions decisions. He stood up, overlooking the bay. I should really get myself a nice little vehicle. Shame that Ga-Metru is famous for its boats; Boats can't cross land too well.

OOC: Really? ..Oh, it is. My bad. =PIC - Eric and Pierce, Route 38 Base, JohtoEric acted extremely offended. "You don't trust us?" he exclaimed. "Why, all we've done is standard procedure to hefty criminals like you."Pierce pinched the bridge of his nose. "Eric, leave. Just wait outside." He pointed to the door, and Eric sulked away, muttering inaudible words. "Now," he said, his attention back to Jared. "Dusknoir will have to be holding you while we're outside, so I know you'll keep your part of the deal. Or, we could make this easy on both of us and you just give me the flippin' stone now."

IC - Gargh, Ga-MetruGargh rolled his eyes at the bomb dropping. Every explosive that fell near him was swept towards another Toa with his staff. While Gargh didn't know the blast radius, with such small a bomb, he figured it couldn't be that large. Still, he jumped back a few feet.His pride in his accomplishment fell short when he heard the scream. Oh, the others didn't hear more than a muffle if anything at all, but because of his mask, Gargh stopped cold. Even a heartlight of protosteel would waiver upon hearing it.What.. What was that?

IC - Gargh, Ga-MetruBump.The old ship hit the harbor of Ga-Metru, causing little more than a gaping hole at the bow. Not really caring for the ship any longer, however, Gargh just shrugged and went on with his business. That is, until he heard an explosion somewhere near.Well, it could've been extremely far, but Gargh decided it was near enough for him to run, getting in on some action.He dashed through the streets of the ghostly Metru; other than the apparent fight, the only noises came from the canals and fountains.Tsk, Gargh thought as the figures came into view. Awkwardly, he froze mid-step for a few seconds, then began moving again, almost tripping forward. The Toa of Lightning who was held by a scythe was now holding a sword to his opponent's neck. Gargh strengthened and widened his field of silence around him, as to prevent any further damage on his hearing.He telepathically laughed, sending it to everyone in the vicinity through his Sutelu. Afterwards, he jammed his staff into the ground, waiting for more.

OOC: Alright; in that case..Species: FroslassNickname: N/aTrainer: Pierce AderiaAppearance: There is a second band of red on her body.Personality: Now as a Froslass, she has a newfound grace in movement. She likes to dance and pair up with Dusknoir, who is mostly her opposite. She's mischevious and will usually start a hailstorm as she gets sent out.Ability: Snow CloakSpecialty: High HP and a notch faster than norm.Known Moves: Ice Shard (replaced Powder Snow), Bite, Double Team, Hail, Ominous Wind, Protect New moves in bold.IC - Eric and Pierce, Route 38 Base, JohtoPierce hit the back of Eric's head. "Nobody carries around that kind of money," Pierce said. "Arceus help me.." He turned to Jared. "Listen. You raided shipments, right? If you happened to find and keep a Dawn Stone, you can trade that for your release. My buddy and I won't tell anyone."

IC - Gargh, Silver SeaGargh walked atop the rotting wood of the ship, heading for the bow; he had been on this floating log for far too long now. The sun was coming up and the birds were gawking. Lucky for him, Gargh couldn't hear any of it, and for that he was glad.Pressing himself against the railing, something stuck out to the Toa of Sonics. There was a mask tucked between two barrels. But that was not the odd part; a head was connected to the mask. Someone escaped along with me, Gargh thought. He used his Sutelu to determine if there was any life left in it.Unfortunately, there was.Gargh, the being thought. Gargh, please help. Take me to Metru-Nui or somewhere. Please.Gargh moved closed, pushing away a barrel. It revealed that the Matoran had a full torso, but nothing else. He stared, with eyes that could freeze the soul. Nobody would care if I brought you to Metru-Nui. Nobody can fix you now. He looked up. There was an island approaching in the distance. It seemed to be just a mass of solid protodermis.He steered the boat to dock there. Closer inspection showed that Gargh was right; it was just a mass of solid protodermis. Regardless, he picked up the mutilated Matoran and set him down on the island. What are you doing!? the Matoran asked in shock.I can't have people think that I care for the living dead. Just be thankful that this island showed up; I was going to drop you in the sea.

OOC: In the past (like, way at the beginning), I think that what most players did was give their characters an infinite amount of money, but claimed it to be limited, I guess? =P I dunno, maybe just.. Oh! How about, doubling as my reward, Jared trades a Dawn Stone instead? Pierce would let it slide.

Username: NaraName: GarghSpecies: Toa of SonicsGender: MaleDescription: Appearance: Here Due to being a Toa of Sonics, Gargh is deathly silent and has damaged hearing. Due to the nature of the element, Gargh has excellent observation skills and avoids contact with others. Because of this, he is colder than most Toa, and wouldn’t think twice about violating the Toa Code.Equipment: A Staff of Sound constructed by Gargh shortly after he became a Toa; it is capable of imitating most of the powers of Sonics. It is usually used if Gargh cannot generate enough elemental energy.Mask: Kanohi Suletu, in the shape of a Volitak.Powers: Vast control over the element of Sonics. He tends to keep a small sphere of silence around him at all times. However, doing so limits the use of Sonics greatly. He relies on his Mask and tools for most combat.Vehicle: N/aBiography: Gargh lived in a village of Sonics, on an island south of Artidax, where few beings travel. On a shipment voyage to the southern continent, the boat crashed onto a mountainous island; many of the Matoran went deaf or sustained injury to their sense of hearing. On this island, Gargh came across a Toa Stone, and transformed. Very quickly, he realized that the island was overrun by dangerous Rahi and was killed in an attack. He was reborn and began crafting his Sound Staff with materials mined from the mountain. He also patched the ship and left the island, traveling across the sea with no destination in mind, leaving his fellow Matoran at the claws of the Rahi.

IC - Eric and Pierce, Route 38 Base, Johto"So I can mark you down, should something happen," Pierce responded. He logged into a computer and inserted the USB, adding Jared's name to the list."Though, since you technically aren't a member of Team Liberty," Pierce said, "we can't just throw you in jail. Especially since I'm not aware of what you actually did, aside from disloyalty.""You'll be fined, 78,000 PokeDollars. Hope you have the money now, or we'll have to throw you in jail," Eric said, chuckling.IC - Zac Flash, Anville Town, UnovaZac left the mart sporting a new shirt; though, the sleeves were ripped off. He replenished his supplies as well, and headed off for the all too familiar forest. "I think Kongo can handle some Plasma grunts now.."OOC: Zac Flash, with his updated design. I keep forgetting how old he is now. ;o;

IC - Eric and Pierce, Route 38 Base, JohtoPierce was getting quite annoyed. "Listen, kid," he said, folding his arms. "I'm getting tired of this. If you have a badge or something, show it now."Eric shook his head. "He basically said yes, Pierce." He turned to Jared. "Say, I don't think I ever caught your name. What is it?"IC - Justin Icewater, Lilycove City, Hoenn"Whew," Justin said, jumping onto the soft familiar grass of home. Unfortunately, it was dark. All over. "Thanks Plush, I'll take you to the Center as soon as I finish something." He turned to Sparks. "Think you could light things up a bit?"The Manetric nodded, emitting some light from his fur.In front of him was a house. Its colors were fading and the lawn was overgrown. It held the appearance of being abandoned for thirty years. Justin walked through the unkempt lawn, reaching out to touch an oak tree. It had been at least five years since he touched the oak, and he was finally tall enough to reach one of its branches.The branch snapped in the cold, winter air."It's been too long," he said, eyes glowing. Justin removed a key from his pocket, and fit it into the door. It was unneeded, as the door fell down as soon as it opened.The interior of the house held the same title as the exterior; the only difference was, inside, it was enclosed. He found and lit a candle, and wandered through the house, lighting all the candles he found, including the fireplace. His Pokemon gathered there while Justin moved through.There were portraits on the wall next to the stairs; a family of four, two brothers and an Electrike. Upstairs, the house was in slightly better condition. There was a hallway, branching off to four different rooms: the master, a bathroom, and two boys's rooms. The Pokemon trainer couldn't get himself to enter any of them. No, that wasn't true. He entered one, and returned wearing new clothes.He returned downstairs and sat with his Pokemon, looking up at the fireplace shelf. There were more pictures, during Christmas time. In fact, the tree was still up, ornaments and all.Justin left this house six years ago, when he was old enough to legally be a Pokemon trainer."Well," he said, getting up from the heat. "We better get going. C'mon, guys."OOC: I'm going to rebuild my character profiles, after looking through them yesterday. Personally, I saw a lot of improvement in writing from Justin to Pierce.Including names. So Justin's going to reveal his true last name; Icewater was just a [bad] disguise. He is Justin Iredsi, with a third design overhaul.

OOC: It probably was the lack of color. =PIC - Eric and Pierce, Route 38, JohtoThe guard returned to Eric, who was watching Jared sit in a chair. Surrounded with Pokemon. "Ey," the guard said. "Check if he's with Liberty." He threw a USB to Eric."What's this for?""That contains what rebel James got us a while back; a list of Liberty Agents. Might not be updated, but it's what I've got." He turned to leave, stopping before exiting the door. "Unless you want to read the list from a scroll." With that, the guard slammed the door shut.Pierce rolled his eyes. "Why not just do this the easy way.." He turned the Jared. "Are you with Team Liberty or not? Surely they give those guys badges or something.."

OOC: No problem, glad it made you giddy. =PI like the new first post. It seems incomplete still, though I don't really know why. =/Also, is the reward per player or per character? Or does it depend on the reward, I guess.No IC now, maybe later.
