Omg we started, I need to read and catch up, I'll post immediately, so sorry


Probably my bad, should've mentioned you in the opening post. Feel free to take your time.
"Aw, ok." Sean said, slightly disappointed.
He had seen many magikarp before and this one was quite a fine specimen. But it did look quite angry, so he supposed he had bothered it enough. He grabbed it by the mouth and unhooked the fishing line from inside of it. The red fish responded by thumping the boy in his chest with its tail, causing both to fall over into the sand.
"A lively one, for sure" sean muttered to himself as he got back up.
He dusted himself off before making his way over to the flopping fish, picking it up and stowing it under his arm.

"Come on little guy, just a bit further."
Seemingly unaware of the irony of his statement, the boy struggled towards the beach with the magikarp about half as large as he was. He chucked it into the water before returning to his friends.
"So anyway, what are we all doing here today?"
It had been some time since he had seen them all in the same place at the same time, though there seemed to be one missing. The airheaded Sean wondered what the occassion was.
@Sweven7, you still with us?
The wooper rolls onto it back, smiling as it sees a pink pokemon arive in its vicinity. A friend had arrived, so he was happy. He tried to get up to greet the friend - a futile effort given the lack of arms and a heavy head. Nevertheless, try it did, heaving up and down in the sand. Perhaps a helping hand would be in order.

Meanwhile, its master paraded back up the beach with a heavy fishing pole. Spying his friends nearby, Sean started waving enthusiastically as he thundered up the beach.
"Hey guys!" The boy said, as if oblivious to the magikarp floundering helplessly on the end of his line.
He skidded to a stop just in front of the group.
"Hey, let it get a peep of this." He said, holding up the magikarp by the hook in the fish's mouth. "Can you check what moves it has?"

Indeed, Sean had to agree that this new device was, in fact, pretty cool. In fact, he was of half a mind to test it right now. But how to do it? Sean stared at the red device in his hand before coming to a realisation.
"I'll be right back." He said, without explanation.

The dark haired boy turned and ran towards the beach. His wooper, still smiling from being admired by Shin, turned to look at his master as he went. It waddled towards him in an attempt to follow, hobbling for a few steps begote falling face first into the fine sand. It made no attempt to get up.
Name: Sean Conway
Age: 12
Appearance: Wave dark hair, slightly scrawny, grey eyes. Usually wears swimming trunks and whatever shirts his mom gets him.
Key item: Old rod

Personality: Sean is quite airheaded and is usually off in his own little world. He seems rather irresponsible, though he has his own sense of responsiblity. As whimsical as he is, it's quite easy to change his mind as he jumps from one thought to the other. Quite a simple boy, he can come off as somewhat immature given his age, but he is simply doing as his heart tells him to do.

History: Sean's family is the wandering type, never settling down for very long. His father is a fisherman, and the young Sean would often accompany him on his fishing trips. At a certain point in time, his father decided that it was time for the boy to catch his own fish, giving him an old rod of his. Sean immediately hooked the rod with the closest bait he had to hand - one of his own socks. To his father's surprise, he actually caught something. A wooper, which the young boy christened "Woop". A rather uncreative name by any measure, his father noted, and the amphibian in question seemed to agree as it only ever seemed to respond to the name half the time. Nevertheless the two formed an inseperable bond. Sean would go from place to place and Woop would follow him, slowly.

Eventually, the family settled in the Sinnoh region. His father had found some stable work there and they bought a house to live in by the sea. Sean settled with them, met some people, made some friends. Sometimes he played with them and sometimes he didn't, he came and went like the ocean waves. But if they ever got into mischief, he was always there, ready to go. And their latest adventure is no exception.


Misc: Used to let Woop out of the pokeball often, but after getting him lost several times, Sean has learned to be more careful.
Alright, there's the first IC post, feel free to jump in. You can already be in Sandgem town or come into sandgem, or maybe we can run into you later in some other town if you really feel like it. Up to you.
The door to Professor Rowan's lab opened, revealing a researcher with a red device in his hands.
"Ah, Shin, you're here!" He said excitedly.
He hands over the device.
"Sorry about this, Shin. Professor Rowan was called away on urgent business so he couldn't be here today. Let me teach you how to use the Pokedex."
The researcher points out the many buttons on the pokedex and what they do, giving some basic pointers on how it worked. It gave the user detailed information on pokemon they caught, listing where they could be caught, average size and weight, and more.
"Professor Rowan went to Eterna City, he said he'll be there a while so you might be able to meet him there. We're looking forward to how you'll do, but don't feel too pressured, ok? Take it at your own pace." The researcher said reassuringly.
With that, he closed the door.

The sun bore down on Sandgem town, reflecting off the white buildings surrounding the research lab. The sound of the waves drifted over with the wind, carrying with it the everpresent smell of sea salt. A good day for a stroll, a picnic, or maybe, a little spot of adventure. But first of all, there was the matter of informing friends...

A boy plodded up from the beach, wearing swimming trunks and a blue shirt with a pikachu emblazoned on the front. He carried an old fishing rod on his shoulder as a Wooper trailed behind him. Looking up, he suddenly noticed his friend.
"Oh, hey Shin. What'cha got there?" Sean asked.

I'd appreciate it if you only had 1 pokemon to start with but it probably won't matter that much in the long run. So, you're good to move it to the character tab.
So, do all our characters know each other/are friends?


Yup, friends with Shin at the very least.

So, when we getting started?


I'll get the IC started soonish, I'd say in about 2 days. I'll be busy for the next 48 hours roughly but after that I'm in the clear.
