Bio

This is my second profile on here, and I have been Play-By-Post RPing for about nine years now. I do my best to see every RP to the end or at least let my character come to his/her own dramatic conclusion when I feel like signing off. Just like novel writing in real life, I tend to find myself on long hiatuses. Since writing is a great way to work out your brain, I try stay engaged as much as possible.

My favorite genres include futuristic worlds, mysteries, and super powers. Any mixture of these three elements will peek my interest.

Phew! I didn't mean to go into that much detail in my last post, but I felt like all that info needed to be covered. So much for shorter posts huh!? But seriously though, that should be the longest post I will ever do in this RP.
"Thanks for the loaner pokemon. That was intense... Think we can heal this girl up?"


"Absolutely." Professor Lukoo nodded. With one hand, he grabbed Torchic's Pokeball from Indigo's outstretched palm. With his other, he recalled Tepig into his Pokeball. "It'll only take a minute."

The professor then walked over to healing machine and placed both Pokeballs into two of its six empty slots. Then, with the press of a button, the machine came to life, much like the Pokemon PC from earlier. While they waited for the machine to work its magic, he made idle conversation. "That was a nice battle young man. I particularly like how you used that Tail Whip. You showed some real creativity."

@TheForgottenArc
During this time, Daniel had been having a conversation with his Turtwig. Apparently, he intended to care for it outside of its Pokeball, as some trainers occasionally do with their starter or favorite Pokemon. The professor smiled at the sight.

When the healing machine was finished, he handed the Pokeball back to Indigo. "Alright, gentlemen." He said with a practiced tone that only comes from years of experience starting trainers on their journey. "I have a few more things to give you." He walked over to his desk where two backpacks had been sitting this whole time.

With a great deal of effort he dragged them off the desk by the handles at their top. He then dragged them across the lab, making a big show of his effort. Surely these boys wouldn't be expected to carry around such heavy equipment!

When he finally got back to where he originally stood, he let out a deep exhale. A cheeky smile then covered his face. "Just kidding!" He said as he lifted both backpacks with ease. "That's just my little joke. You'll be happy to know that these bags should never get that heavy. We use shrinking technology, similar to that of Pokeballs, to make sure items don't weigh you down. All you need to do is place an item inside one of the provided clear bags; then place the bag inside the backpack. When you zip it up, the backpack will shrink the item ten times or until it is only as big as a golf ball, whichever comes first. You will be unable to pull shrunk items out of the backpack manually. To get an item out, you will use this screen on the front of the bag to select the item. The bag will then return the item to full size, so that you can open it and pull it out."

"And then there is this little guy." Undoing two latches, the professor pulled out a little black device with a large screen, the same screen that he was referring to when explaining how to withdraw items from the bag. "This is your Pokedex. It has to be inside of its bag slot in order to pull items, but outside the bag , it has even more uses. It is a cell phone, a Pokemon scanner, a GPS, and, in general, a well of knowledge. You can ask it anything and it will usually have an answer. If the Pokedex is outside the bag for longer than fifteen minutes, the display will shut down and it will send a signal to my lab with its location, an anti theft protocol. If someone were to take your entire bag, you can always call my office so I can retrieve its location."

He then handed Dan and Indigo each their bag and Pokedex, with the Pokedex still outside of its pocket. "Now, turn on your Pokedexes and set up their additional security features: retina scan, thumb print, passcodes, and well, you get the point."


@Balthazar007 just wanted to say I used torchic's moves from 5 and below. according to bulbapedia she learns ember at 5. if you want her to learn it at level 6 or something, I can edit my post!


No, Ember is totally fine.

I liked your post a lot. That being said, let's get back to shorter posts again. But this does go to show, we can have a longer post every now and then.

I'll wait for @TheForgottenArc's next post before I post again.
@prettydrops

I guess, since it's just Indigo and Tepig vs Torchic, you could wrap this battle up in one post. Is that what you were already planning to do?
"You just can't make things easy, can you," Indigo muttered, eliciting another scowl from the Torchic. "Fine, lend me a pokemon please." Indigo placed a hand on his hip. "You're going down, bird."


The Professor nodded his understanding. "Okay, but I'll need to revisit the computer. I can't give you one of my main Pokemon. You should use another starter Pokemon." After an awkward moment of silence, he pushed a button, his back hiding his selection.

"Here we go." He said as he tossed the Pokeball. In a flash of red light, a small Tepig appeared. "This little guy likes to battle too. Plus, it would be good experience for you to battle with another fire-type." He said to Indigo. He then turned his attention to the Tepig. "Hey little man. I need your help. Torchic here was selected by this young trainer, but she won't accept him without a battle first. You mind battling with him as your trainer for a moment?"

Tepig looked from the Professor to Indigo to Torchic for a good thirty seconds. Then, with an almost indifferent oink of approval, he walked over to Indigo's side. He didn't like the idea of taking orders from a newbie, but he couldn't miss the chance to battle.
cool! thanks @TheForgottenArc!


My post is up, from here, I would like to let the two of you take it away. Tag me when the battle is over.

Also, this reminds me, do you two want me to keep track of your leveling up progress? Or can I just tell you whenever your Pokemon level up and count on you to keep track of your own progress.

Same question for inventory. Would you like me to keep track of your inventory? Or can you do that yourselves?

If you did it yourselves, you would do so back in your Character Sheet. If I did it, I would add a 0th post to the IC section.
"Yo, Prof, what am I supposed to do? This Torchic isn't coming over..." Maybe the professor would catch it for him...


Professor Lukoo shook off Indigo's informal shortening of his title, chalking it up to 'kids being kids'. With a deep breath, he sighed. "Torchic." Torchic looked over instantly. "This young man came from very far away to meet you. Why are you being so difficult?" Again, he was sure to use special hand signals when speaking.

Torchic chirped a response that only the professor could understand. (I'm going more realistic here, no Pokemon saying their names like in the anime. I'd like Pokemon in this RP to behave more like in the games by making realistic sounds when trying to communicate.)

The Professor then turned toward Indigo. "Torchic is bored. When she gets like this, the only thing that will satisfy her is a good battle. Maybe Danieal would let you use his Turtwig. If not, I can let you use one of my personal Pokemon."
@Balthazar007@TheForgottenArc so i thought it would be fun if dan helped indigo weaken the torchic by battling it, because she actually wants a battle! esp when balth mentioned they were feisty. however i can change it if it would be more convenient for indigo to just catch it in his post. i just thought this would be fun?? let me know if its a terrible idea though haha


Interesting idea, I'll leave that up to the two of you. If you choose to battle, then it would begin in the IC section as a back and forth post. Then you COULD use Pokemon Showdown to battle the two Pokemon (at level 5). Just make sure to use the "Anything Goes" format, and don't give your Pokemon any hidden abilities or items.

OR you can skip using showdown and just hash out the battle result via OOC posting. Either way, you would then return to the IC section and wrap up the battle.

Again, this is all only IF you two decide to battle. It's up to you.

I've updated the Map Key by adding info on a new town and a new route (which is actually closed right now). I also added information on SOME of the Pokemon that can be found on adjacent routes and the first Point of Interest.

This is all information that your characters could find by asking any local in town, OR it would be obvious when they stumbled upon one of these Pokemon in the wild.
@prettydrops@TheForgottenArc@Matador,

Sorry it took so long, but I have finished placing every Pokemon on the map. Obviously I'm not going to reveal where they're all at right now, but rest assured. They are ALL accounted for.

Also @prettydrops@TheForgottenArc,

I don't normally make IC posts that long, but I felt like there was a lot of content to be covered in that post.
