Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

I agree xD
Now, should I post again or wait for some other people to post?~ xP

@Rune_Alchemist

Well… we're not even at the lab yet, so eh, might as well?

Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

She is so going to regret deciding to be nice today xD

@Rune_Alchemist

And it's going to be amazing!!!

Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

Aww, I'm sad that Melody didn't choose Peggy to be her 'best friend forever' :(

... then again, maybe it's for the best. Having Peggy escape her overprotective mother only to end up with some over-possessive best friend would probably break her XD

@XxFellsingxX

That's pretty much why I didn't choose her D:

I felt too bad for Peggy… besides, that tsundere-yandere dynamic, though… XD

-edit-

<Snipped quote by Nightmare Bunny>

...and suddenly, I feel like that Abigail's life has just ended xD

@Rune_Alchemist

MUAHAHHAHAHAHA. She'll never escape!!!

Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

Eh. I wasn't sure what to do with those politician NPCs, so I just casually gave them a cameo and left it at that. I guess I'll figure out something for them later XD

Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

~Melody Hemlock~

Somewhere, in a small town in the Johto region that was probably New Bark Town, a rather small teenaged girl with long pink hair was heading towards her Destiny.

Not that most people would notice: she kind of faded into the background, to be honest. It wasn’t that she was plain-looking. In fact, most people tended to think she was kind of cute. Cuddly, like a plush toy or something. But despite her color-coordinated clothes and immaculately applied make-up, she didn't seem to have much of a presence.

This was normal. Her name was Melody, and fading into the background was simply a fact of her existence.

Also, there was a switchblade in her pocket. For "cooking and self-defense".

Yeah. Bullshit.

If you thought about it for more than ten seconds, it really wasn't surprising that Melody was lost. For one thing, she had a terrible sense of direction. For another, she had no idea how to read her map.

It wasn't like she could just consult the GPS function on her phone, either: she had one of those old, dinky models, the ones with practically no functions that were basically indestructible. Even if she did have a GPS function on her phone, she wouldn't have been able to use it, anyway-- Melody was absolutely terrible with electronics. Almost as bad as she was with directions.

If you thought about it for more than fifteen seconds, the surprise really wasn't the fact that Melody was lost. Nope: the surprise was that she had made it to New Bark Town in the first place.

Wait... was this New Bark Town?

Melody looked down at the map in her hands and frowned. Was she holding it upside down? What was wrong with it? She rotated it exactly 67.4 degrees to the left. Had that helped?

New Bark Town was supposed to be small, but... she was definitely lost. In fact, she was pretty sure that she'd been walking around in circles for a while now. Where was the lab? What did a lab even look like?

Just then, the wind picked up, blowing what appeared to be a page of a tabloid article directly into her face. She yelped in shock, and peeled it off, holding it up to read it.

Jacob Rogers Publically Harasses Fellow Politician Carmen Young?

Yes, it’s true! Last Wednesday, Jacob Rogers was spotted arguing fiercely with Carmen Young over the hotly debated question of just how old a person should be before they are allowed to apply for a license. Young’s efforts campaigning have paid off in the increase of minimum trainer age to sixteen, and a drastic reduction in wild Pokemon related deaths in minors, but it’s clear that Rogers has still not conceded defeat.

Eyewitnesses claim that Rogers cornered Young in the grocery store, and refused to back down even when Young politely asked him to stop. Jacob Rogers, an aspiring politician and known anti-Pokemon regulation advocate, has long had deep-seated rivalry with Young over Johto’s wild Pokemon situation--

Just some stupid politician drama. Melody scowled, and crumpled it up into a ball, sticking it into her pocket.

What? Littering's bad, okay?

Still, she perked up quickly after a few seconds. After all, Melody was on her way to meet her Best Friend Forever! Nothing could get her down, not even being completely and utterly lost.

And so she set out to find herself someone to give her directions, and-- well, there was someone who looked like they knew what they were doing. She, too, was holding a map… but assertively!

The girl had long purple hair and bright green eyes. Pretty, thought Melody briefly, and then blushed as pink as her hair. Nope, nope, stop. Nooooot happening.

Could she be a trainer? Could they be heading in the same direction? If they were, then surely... could this be? Could this girl be… her Destiny?

With that thought in mind, Melody hurried after her, jogging up behind the other girl with her heart in her throat. Should she— was she brave enough to talk to this rather pretty girl? Was she brave enough to ask that fateful question? The question that made so many quake in their boots?

Which way is the Pokemon lab?

Why yes, yes she was.

“Excuse me!” she called out, slowing until she had fallen into step with the other girl. “Um… My name’s Melody. Would you mind giving me directions to the Pokemon lab? I’ve been lost for hours!”

Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

I'll take... uh, the politics people, I guess? Is that okay with you, Noklu?

Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

XD

Aaaanyway~

I'll post during lunch. And hell yeah, I'll control your NPCs for you, Rune! :D

I still post in the OOC because I have interest in the RP and I intend to apply for it when some people go inactive or leave as soon as the RP starts. (Honestly, I don't like "first come, first serve" styles, but that's another issue.) I can make my own RP, but it would easily conflict with the other Pokemon RPs that already exist in the Casual and Advanced section - that's what two RPs of the same video game / anime generally cause.

Also, backseat moderating is when any non-GM or non-mod member tries to deal with rule-breaking or some other offense by demonstrating moderation traits instead of reporting said conflict to the GM him/herself.

@Stale Pizza

Look, dude. First of all, you can't just assume that any of us are going to just randomly drop out, because that's rude and quite frankly, offensive. You might not know this, but most of us know each other from another RP, and we're all quite consistent. That's not to say that someone won't drop out... but you can't sit here just hoping that someone's gonna leave.

Please, be respectful, okay?

Pokemon: The Shadow of Nemesis

Nope~ looks good! Just the usual thing with level scalable Pokemon XD

I'll add her to the list later,

Dont forget to help Anastasia with that crazy rabbit girl who also speaks French...

First rule in Europe: If it speaks French burn it with fire!

@Zoldyck

Later, dude. Pokemon comes first!

I'll be able to do that in a couple hours... but not now XD
