Standing there innocently was a young girl little older than 10 years of age. Long golden blonde hair hung from either side of her head in simple ponytails. She wore an old timely white fashioned dress with yellow hemming and hand-stitched floral patterns. Her naive face bore an expression of startled surprise as she looked up with her big bright brown eyes. She fidgeted nervously from side to side as her outstretched hand dropped and intertwined with the other behind her back. After an awkward fumbling moment and a little mumble the shy girl averts her gaze to the floor without saying anything.
Vivian's excited bubbly voice bounces amongst the trees as she comes racing towards the small group of people from quite some distance away.
"Elly" Viv calls again ensuring she caught her friends attention, frantically waving her hand overhead while running. Vivian's long dark hair and pleated skirt fluttered about her legs as her eager excitement carried her to her old friend.
By the time she reached the distant group she was exhausted and could do nothing but hunch over, supporting herself with her hands on her knees and draw in deep exasperated gasps as she frantically tried to regain her breath.
"E" *breath* "Ella" Viv lifts a hand gesturing for everyone to give her a moment"Sor"*quick breath*"ry"... She stands up tall, opening her shoulders, still panting. Her bright green eyes fall upon her friend and a smile exploded on her face. "I'm"*gasp* "back!"
And with those last words she could contain herself no longer and leapt at her dear old friend wrapping her arms around her tightly as she embraces her in a big hug. Despite being a couple of years younger the two were nearly the same height. After a lengthy heart felt hug Vivian looks around as if just noticing Leisy, Raven and all the Pokemon for the first time.
"Uh, oh... Hi" She says, her red cheeks flushing just a little more from embarrassment. She holds out a hand to the stranger. "I'm Vivian, nice to meet you."
Alright everyone! This has been another long weekend at work, but I have caught up with all the IC posts and responded to everyone's PMs. Keep in mind that the midnight hour in this RP is quickly approaching. On the first of November (IRL) our RP will push forward to the next IC day. But it will still be night time until the 9th of November.
Thanks everyone. I'll do some more work on the manual in the morning before work tomorrow!
.... Ummm :S does that mean I'm approved yet? I never got a PM :(
@RumikoOhara Haha, all good :) I just realised how my last post could be read with that exclamation mark, I just meant it would be up soon. (Not snapping, just in case it looked that way)
So was I the last one of is there still a few more? Quite a big group we got here.
Arden stood at the back of the group, hovering half a foot off the ground so he could see over all the other people. There was after all quite the small crowd gathered. At the front the true hero's talked to the young group, explaining things and setting expectations. These people were hero's of legend with so many great deeds to their name that they were beyond famous, immortalised in the minds of many. Yet strangely Arden was not phased nor in awe of their presence, he thought very little of it and and his concentration reflected this.
While he might be immune to notoriety and status, he was surely not immune to the driving hormones of an adolescent teenage boy. As the others before him moved about and spoke, Arden found himself daydreaming while staring at Black Canary.
A sudden silence startled him and he looked around the room to see most eyes staring at him expectantly. Bashfully he shrugged his shoulders and gently touched down on the ground. An awkward moment passed where his gaze flitted about amongst the feet in the room, unable to meet anyone's gaze.
Finally when the rosy soft red left his cheeks he opens his mouth, a soft, nearly inaudible deep hum resonates as if separate from his actions but synchronistically timed together. Every one would suddenly feel the extra weight on their shoulders, every limb and body part suddenly growing an extra twenty percent heavier. It only lasted but a short moment. Arden looked down again and continued to shrink into himself hoping that would be enough to sedate the curiosity of his peers.
@Dusksong Has the idea been raised of joint creating? Like two people spending 5 each to build a location?
Side note... :( I sooo wanna get approved :( I've already started writing up a new location even though I probably won't be able to introduce it for ages.
Let me know what you think :)
New Location!!!
Name: Sky City Location Type: Condensed Metropolis Pokemon Types: Steel, water, flying, ghost, poison. Lore: Sky city is bright, it's hip, it's large, it's new and it's happening. It is the place to be! All the latest technology and trends can be found here. As its name suggests, sky city towers high into the sky with its many tall skyscrapers each trying to out reach the other, all fighting for the grand ocean view. Many of the buildings are joined by a skytrain that runs through and atop the structures, far from the ground below.
Sky City has a dense high population in a tight space with many people traveling far and wide to try have their own piece of heaven. Unfortunately the city is very unkind to those who cannot keep up on the forefront of popularity and are not rich or famous. Eventually they will be chewed up and spat back out on the other side, broken and empty, filled with nothing but shattered hopes and broken dreams.
There is also another side to the expensive city that's even darker then it's insatiable greed. It lies deep below the bright vibrant towers in a labyrinth of dirty sewers and forgotten tunnels underground. Such a big city produces much waste, pollution, pain and secrets that are discarded and forgotten about, pushed out of site and mind.
Sky city is located to the far far east of central city. It's sits on a man made island just off the shore. History says a man once saw a flare in the night sky while walking the beach, fearing there was trouble out at sea he sent his only Pokemon companion out to go investigate. Many hours later his Pokemon brought the fist survivor back. A very fancy luxury liner had gone down that was carrying very important people for a technology expo. For 24 hours straight his trusted Pokemon spent many hours out at sea to rescue people from the sinking ship, each trip taking longer and longer than the last. It was during the rising sun of the next day that he saw his companion for the last time.
From that day the pokemons trainer waded out to sea and stood waiting for his Pokemon to return. The saved survivors felt such sympathy and gratitude they built a tall house around the trainer so he could watch the horizon for his beloved friend. But that was not enough, next they built their own houses and moved their businesses and families to the new growing town that became known as Sky city.
Sky City Poke Mart
There is at least three Poke Marts scattered throughout the city, most doubling as or connected to a poke centre. The largest and most sought store being that in Poke Corps very own private skyscraper. All of the Pokemart's are heavily stocked, with some items not even officially released. All Marts are decked out in the latest fresh sleek styling of Poke Corp, inside and out. Bringing a fusion of historical charm blended with modern trends. While there are many marts, the expensive real estate has forced up the prices of even the simplest goods.

Sky City Mission Board
Throughout the town there are many easily accessible touchscreen maps and information terminals that help guide and organise even the most experienced traveller through their stay amongst the hustling, multi-layered madness that is Sky City. Not only do they identify the many events coming up, forecast the weather, keep citizens informed of the latest news, help locate anything you are looking for. You can also see the many requests that the city's inhabitants have left for brave Pokemon trainers. Citizens submit their mission postings online to city hall. Trainers can then access a special code to accept the mission.
