Official (not really official) theme song for the RP: youtube.com/watch?v=vvbU64EbFM0
Man has a skill like no other creature. They take from the environment to create and build new original works. It is that skill which has launched the world into a revolution of technology. Steam, the simple creation of fire and water now has begun to power cities, trains, and far greater feats. This is all possible thanks to the astounding creatures that inhabit the earth known as Pokemon.
This rapid growth in technology, industry, and population has changed life the world over. Not all of it for the better. Pollution is a new and real threat in some areas, and new questions of ethics are being raised by critics of the scientific community as pokemon have become a major field of study. Pokemon in the workplace is nothing new, but some factories have pushed to have large teams of pokemon working near non-stop to meet demand. Scientists and officials are split on whether this treatment is acceptable, while others question if we can continue without despite that.
The Nation of Entrin has been the forefront of this industrial revolution, and now seeks to help modernize it’s colonies. It’s long time ally/colony Philitri has happily become the new center of scientific study and industrial invention thanks to its large mines as well as its massively varied environments including a desert, rainforest, mountains which even have a large snow covered area atop them, and far far more.
You are a member of a small group organized by the Entrin University of Pokemon Human studies. Each of you provide something different, but are all well bodied and at least semi-skilled pokemon trainers. You have been asked to visit Philitri to assist Professor Donald Palm in his current survey of the island’s pokemon. The entire trip there is funded by the University and a decent amount of supplies were provided to each person. All members were also offered a very nice sum of money by Riecher Industries for information on the pokemon, resources, and new inventions developed in the region. Riecher doesn’t always seem like the cleanest of organizations, but they are loyal to the crown and provide a large amount of the products made in Entrin. This trip provides you a once in a lifetime chance to see rare pokemon, the latest in steam technology, and serve the crown.

All of you have boarded an airship chartered by the university, the HMS Swellow, and have been flying across the land and sea to reach Philitri, an archipelago nation which originally was a colony, but now is nearly foreign territory of Entrin. You will be docking in the capital of Tinport the most advanced city in the nation and home to Prof. Palm’s laboratory. Philitri has a number of other cities, on the main island, and towns though the farther you get from the coast the smaller they become. There are at least twenty other islands in the archipelago, but only one fourth of them are of reasonable size for colonization. The remaining islands are interesting sites for wild pokemon, and do house very small villages mostly with native Philitrians.
All pokemon species have been named and sited (to their knowledge), though some pokemon are only known through the natives who tell many myths and folktales about them. There is no organized pokemon league on the island, but there are trainers who follow the Entrin league standard rules of six pokemon max battles, four moves, one held item etc.
Prof. Palm’s lab is located just outside of Tinport on a large plot of land that was originally a plantation. He and his many assistants as well as his brother Prof. Mortimor Palm, a master of steam engineering, all live on the site researching a wide selection of pokemon lent to them from trainers. If you ever have too many pokemon to tend to you can leave them with him there.

Notable Characters
Prof. Palm is a gray haired yet youthful man who has dedicated his life to the study of pokemon and how history has been affected by their existence, as well as how they can build our future. He is a kind hearted laid back sort of person taking life one step at a time never really worrying about what comes next, but still hoping for the best.
Mortimor Palm a retired industrialist and inventor of the compressed steam tank as well as many other massively important inventions that pushed science forward. His business was one of the strongest in Entrin, but was bought out by Richer Industries. Mortimor does not hold a grudge, but still feels that work has been left undone. He now spends his time at his brother’s lab unsure of what to do next.
Nichalo Rion is a member of the University who has been sent with all of you as a sort of guide to the nation as well as a link back to the University. He plans to remain in Tinport at the Chansey’s Rest Hotel. He’s a skilled and intelligent man, but not very outgoing much preferring to study than experiment. He’s shorter and somewhat pale hardly impressive, but he’d much rather dedicate his time to knowledge than give any heed to his own appearance. He has only had time to train one pokemon a Duskull named Brel.
Miranda Evox was a late addition to the University crew and is serving to explore how pokemon interact with people in the cities rather than the wilderness like the rest of the group. The daughter of a high ranking military officer she was able to use her position to gain a spot on the trip. Though a true aristocrat she is no slouch, and is very much dedicated to the mission of the University. Her main pokemon is a Purloin named Fiska.
