Welcome back to Kalos Region, ladies and gentlemen. It's been a solid five years since the whole crisis with Team Flare came and went, and the esteemed Professor Sycamore has moved on to other regions to further his research into Mega Evolution. So who, just who, would take over his research? Meet Professor Apple, a Unova-born genius who shared Sycamore's interest in Pokemon evolution. She's gathered up a group young would-be Trainers from across the Kalos Region via mail, explaining her interest in Pokemon research and how her studies mostly have her tied down in Lumiose City. Naturally, they accepted. The appointed group is to meet up at Aquacorde City, where they are to finally meet Professor Apple in person and receive their first Pokemon.

The time has finally come. A small band of young aspiring Trainers-to-be have gathered at Aquacorde Town, where Professor Apple is waiting for them.

Rules/information to keep in mind: 
[list][*]Of course, no powerplaying/godmodding.
[*]Be reasonable in your decisions. I won't punish you for whatever choice you make regarding the plot. I probably will punish you if you, say, provoke a notably more powerful enemy.
[*]Don't expect a lot of gore/sexual content; besides being a Pokemon rp, the age cap for player characters is 14. Swearing is alright though.
[*]As the plot will be driven by your decisions, I strongly urge everyone to communicate, either via PM or in the OOC.
[*]If you are a slow poster or unable to post for a while, please notify me.
[*]There is something of a dibs list - that is, one a player has claimed a certain pokemon species, other players may not claim it without express permission. The idea is to reduce confusion and fighting over ‘duplicates’, particularly for plot-relevant pokemon. It can be presented upon request.
[*]Due to your GM controlling several rps, IC posting may be slow. OOC posting will be semi-constant.
[*]The rules and available information may change, but I will post the changes before editing them in, and there will be no punishment for anyone who broke a rule before it was made.[/list]
