[Hider=Idea 6 - Pokemon: Jaded Champion]Idea number six is another pokemon related one. This isn't entirely thought out yet but here's the basic skeleton.[hr]

The champion of the region has been champion for quite some time now, likely over a decade. Problem is, he's [i]too[/i] good, and nobody really poses a challenge anymore. As a result, he's become increasingly apathetic, depressed, and even a little arrogant. He's lost his passion, and only cares about winning. He uses only the best of the best pokemon, and trains them to perfection. Finally, he's had enough, and no longer wants to be champion, but his pride won't let him just throw it away to the next random challenger.

So, the elite four have come up with a way to try and re-ignite the champion's passion, or to find him a worthy successor: By sending him back through the gym challenge with a young up-and-coming trainer. A reigon wide drawing is held, and one lucky trainer, (or maybe like, 4-5 if this becomes a group rp) are sent on a journey with the champion.

The champion, of course, would be using a brand new team, and hopefully with the help of his new companion(s) he can break his old habits and find the fun he used to have in battling and exploring, and using pokemon that are fun to use, not the ones that are the best.[hr]
There would, of course likely be other things, like the region's version of team rocket, or weird sub-plots like pokemon outbreaks. I already have an idea for the champion, but everything else is mostly up to group creation. What I'd like to do for the champion is have him take along his first ever pokemon along this adventure (which would be a likely be a fully evolved pokemon but would have a reason not to fight, such as old age, direct orders from the champion, a crippling injury, etc) to act more as a supporting character to help bridge the gap between the champion and the newer trainers, or to use as a last resort, should the group ever be in any real danger.[/Hider]
