@Sunbather If you're asking if you absolutely need to evolve every single member of your team, then no. You can have all of your team evolve or none of them! You should just keep in mind that evolved Pokemon are almost always stronger than the ones that aren't evolved.

Just when she thought she had a proper footing, something else came her way-- that something else being a large, broad-shouldered man by the name of Simon.

Whatever wind she had left inside of her was expelled completely as Jules and Simon tumbled a couple feet from the door. The world whirled around her and her entire left side exploded in a deep, searing pain. Yeah, that was probably a bruised rib or two. Maybe even cracked. Luckily it didn't feel like it was broken as she laid underneath Simon's crushing weight. Another set of coughs left her as she fought to wriggle her way out from underneath the tall man. Ugh... too heavy... she almost couldn't breathe. She struggled for a few more moments, only slightly pulling herself out from underneath Simon as she was able to grant herself enough breathing room. Alright, good. Now she was uncomfortably stuck underneath the large man instead of being smothered under his weight. Jules let out a low groan of pain, her fingers digging into the dirt. She needed to get out of this situation. Those strange ghosts, what were they? There was no other explanation for her other than the fact that she was either dying, hallucinating, or both.

A shadow loomed over them. Worried that the black-haired man had come around to finish the job, she turned her eyes skyward. Instead of being met with the menacing aura of the stranger, she was met with a more terrifying sight. That kid had come around again. Sonny? Doony? She didn't even know anymore, nor did she care. "Christ..." she muttered under her breath as she shifted again. Every movement she made hurt. Simon's weight rested mostly on her side now, and blood steadily poured from her nose. She'd have to fix that. Wonderful. "Listen kid, if I were you, I'd get away from here. There's this crazy man with a--"

There was that round woman again with the man in steel armor. Jules fell silent as she watched intently. The armored man stepped to the side, presumably toward the man with the ghost. There was some sort of conversation, one that didn't make sense-- before she heard the suggestion of drinking. Drinking. At a time like this? That man... he couldn't be sane. Then again, was anyone here sane? Was she the one that was crazy? Jules fell silent, mulling over the fact. Maybe she was seeing ghosts because this kid already drove her to drink.

"I could use a drink right about now. A nice glass of wine or some nice whiskey," muttered Jules in a somewhat tired and melancholy tone before she once again broke out into a series of frantic squirms. "O-oi, Simon, would you actually get the hell off of me?"

Our Beloved Dreams of Sinnoh | Pokemon

It's that time of year again. A select number of trainers from around Sinnoh are chosen to partake in the "Gym Challenge"-- a contest in which these youths take strides in defeating each of the region's gym leaders in order to partake in the Champion's Cup. Yes, these trainers may take their first steps out of their home with bright eyes and their sights turned to the horizon, though most will return home as failures.

Our story will begin in Jubilife City, where our characters have all arrived for the celebration of Sinnoh's prestigious Gym Challenge. The festivities will stem late into the night as the region honors the ones who dare take on Sinnoh's elite.

Of course, our trainers' journeys will not be smooth ones. While some might be friendly towards one another, they must remember that they are all rivals that strive to achieve the title of champion. As these characters carry out their travels, they might see that the Gym Challenge isn't the only thing they should be worrying about...

While the Gym Challenge occurs only once a year, it spans roughly three months, starting in mid June and ending around the middle of September. Twenty trainers are chosen and endorsed by senior trainers, gym leaders, or other prominent individuals-- sometimes, even the champion themselves. Not many trainers are able to get past the early gyms. Much less are able to complete the Gym Challenge at all, and even fewer are able to get far in the Champion's Cup. Thus, Sinnoh's Gym Challenge is an event that is televised all throughout the nation and is highly revered by people of all ages.

Upon reaching the each town or city, each Gym is expected to be completed within a timespan of about four to five days. If the trainer cannot defeat the Gym leader in that period, they are disqualified from the Gym Challenge and forced to return home.

The Champion's Cup is the last stretch of challenges that a trainer must confront before they face Sinnoh's Champion. This portion of the event lasts about two weeks on its lonesome and occurs between the remaining competitors of the Gym Challenge.

Trainers participating in the Gym Challenge have a choice in picking their starter Pokemon. However, the starter Pokemon must be first-stage in its evolutionary line and pass inspection before being permitted into the challenge.

Inexperienced trainers are usually suspect to losing their Pokemon in battles. The death of a partner is difficult to handle for some and others often do not overcome the grief of such a loss. While fatalities in Pokemon battles can occur, referees in Gym battles are there to prevent most of them from happening. Battles outside stadiums are not monitored and the well-being of the trainers' Pokemon falls entirely on their heads.

Sinnoh's elite is composed of the eight Gym Leaders and Champion of the region. Each Pokemon trainer is expected to beat the eight Gym Leaders before they are able to attend the Champion's Cup.

1) Oreburgh City's Olson
2) Veilstone City's Savvanah
3) Eterna City's Daichi
4) Hearthome City's Cho
5) Pastoria City's Atsushi
6) Canalave City's Gabriel
7) Snowpoint City's Gwen
8) Sunyshore City's Lester

Sinnoh's renowned Champion is named Shiro.

1) Post on the IC at least once a week and be active in the OOC/Discord overall.​ Plotting, bantering, and everything else is super fun to me!

2) DO NOT GHOST/DROP OUT/DISAPPEAR for random lengths of time without notifying the group. ​

3) I will be accepting at most 6 or 7 other people.

4) I usually accept people who create the best character sheets/ideas and are the most active; this is not a first-come-first-serve RP and I will not be accepting everyone who declares interest.​ That being said, I'd appreciate it if you could make your sheets look pretty-- add some color and all~

5) I'd prefer friendly players who are nice to not only myself but everyone in the group.​

6) I'd prefer a cast that doesn't have an influx of males/females-- I do love my romance!​

7) I'd prefer if people don't strive to be OP. I expect some challenging of power there. Even then, when there are battles, I want them to be resolved cleanly and fairly between players.

8) I prefer to play with 18 year olds or older.
