Still here, just watching from afar. Was last to post IC, so I don't know what's going on

Well, NPCs aren't out of the question. You guys are more than welcome to RP your own xD I did, with the Captain and other soldiers who'd been interrogating Raven. It's not necessarily a problem, just a slight hiccup along the way. ^-^

EDIT: And, maybe Neimh doesn't know Jackson was dishonorably charged. She could always go to him for help xD But if she does, and NPCs are out of the question.. yeah, she's screwed x)

Raven was running as fast as she could but of course no one was fast enough to outrun the Regime's trained hounds. She could hear them coming from behind her, tailing her every dip and dodge when suddenly a shot range out through the valley. Then another, and suddenly there were no pursuing footsteps directly behind h- and another shot. Now there were none that she could hear. Raven slowed down to a stop to catch her breath, standing bent over with her hands on her knees, taking long, deep breathes. From behind, a voice called out. "Hey!" Raven looked over her shoulder, assuming she'd see her rescuer. She was wrong. "Stop right there!" A Regime Scientist.

Raven's heart dropped and she immediately shoved Electabuzz into a separate direction to run and began running another route. She wouldn't be caught, not again. Not twice in one friggin' day! The large metal pokemon was gaining on her as well, now, and Raven only feared the worst. Another sharp crack of a shot rang out, followed by a hard thud behind her. Against her better judgement, Raven turned to see what had happened to the Scientist that'd been in her pursuit, finding her on the ground but still very much alive. Quickly scanning the surrounding area, she realized the Scientist was the only one following her. Raven smirked and began to make yet another run for it, thanking her guardian angel, whoever that may be, and hoped maybe one day they'd cross paths so she could give a proper thanks. She'd been too busy staring behind her to realize where exactly she was running, and ran directly into a young man (@Lyghtbringer) who, unto her knowledge had been climbing the tree, both collapsing onto the floor. Raven shoved the guy off of her, scrambling away from him as she looked him over quickly, realizing he wasn't Regime. She let out a mental sigh of relief. Not much to her surprise though, as she looked over, there stood a Regime officer (Jackson) with his houndour, both looking down at them with flat-faced expressions. "Shit."

Jackson's Houndour beside him began to growl softly, it's back arched slightly, the fur raised up along its spine. Holding up his rifle, Jackson took aim and scanned the forest, spinning around when he heard what sounded like a tree branch snap, a feminine grunt and a loud collapse of weight. Just 20ft from Jackson and Houndour lay two civilians, one being the girl he'd watched escape from the other soldiers. Obviously they weren't together by the way they looked at each other, but then the girl looked at him. Her eyes widened just slightly as she cursed to herself. The girl looked beaten up pretty bad, and although it wasn't his fault, Jackson felt bad, himself. That was the kind of thing he'd been forced to do over the years being one of them.

There was a silent stand-off for a minute before Jackson slowly lowered his gun, seeing the boy had neither weapon nor pokemon at his side. At least that he knew of. The young man, looking to be not much younger than himself, wouldn't be much harm to him. Jackson was a respectful young man in himself. If an enemy didn't have a weapon, neither would he. It was that simple. An old view that the Regime laughed off. Kill or be killed. Regime never let themselves be the latter, if they could help it. Jackson realized the girl's Electabuzz was nowhere to be seen, but with the kind of destruction it had caused with a decent squad of soldiers and their own pokemon, it was clear this was a fight he didn't want to pick. He quickly slid his rifle over his shoulder, holding up his hands to show he meant no harm. Raising a hand to his partner, Houndour saw the silent command and immediately calmed down, sitting on it's haunches at Jackson's side just staring at the strangers before them.

"My name is Jackson Kincaid." Looking around to be sure there were no lurking Regime soldiers around, he met their eyes again and continued, "I mean you no harm." Jackson swallowed hard, only slightly nervous, that missing Electabuzz was a real reason to be. Though his instinct was to try locating the dangerous beast, Jackson stood his ground and stared back at the two people before him. He hoped they'd not give him too much grief if they decided to ban together and try overtaking him and Houndour. One could only hope they'd be as civil as he was trying to be, right now.

Okay, I am posting. Just so it's known xD I've already finished Raven's post. Starting Jackson's.

@Lyghtbringer

Defensive attacks, aka: reflect, safeguard, protect and detect. How well do those work? Can I use protect to block bullets? Can I use reflect similar to in game, a barrier to weaken physical attacks?

Yes, defensive moves work the same way they would in the show/game. The blocking bullets is a bit tricky, in my opinion, but I'll let that slide and say yes - that using a move like Protect would in fact keep you safe from incoming bullets as well.

Stat boosting moves, could I have a Pokémon (sneasal) use swords dance, then cut though a metal wall?

Sounds plausible. ^-^

Could I have a metapod use harden 50 times then carry it around under my shirt as a makeshift Kevlar vest?

I'm gonna have to say no to that one x) But that's a pretty interesting idea. In the long run, someone COULD, I just.. I don't really think anyone's gonna have a metapod in this RP xD To have to carry it around everywhere would become tiresome at some point. Can't have anything weighing you down, too much, in this type of setting.

How intelligent are our partners? In-game and in-anime, its implied that pokemon can understand human speech perfectly AFTER being captured, and imperfectly before. Is that the same here?

I would have to agree that yes, it'd be much like the show/game. However, if a wild pokemon (most of our Rebel companions, because we don't posess the items to actually capture them) spent enough time around humans, they could potentially learn how to communicate with us and we with them. Same with actual animals in our own world. Training and spending time together gets both you and your pet learning different things about each other. Facial expressions, mannerisms, etc. :]

Had a lot come up today, and I'm just barely getting into bed at 4AM. Ugh. I will be replying tomorrow, terribly sorry for the delay. If you feel it necessary, feel free to post a second time? Again, apologize for my absence! Really liking all these characters. This is turning out to be a great start!
