Just as humans grow and change with time, interests change as well. I wish I had the urge to roleplay like I used to...

A thirst for knowledge!


...Ah, Magnolia, one of the greatest towns in all of Fiore. Albeit already being a big town by regular standards, after the establishment of the grand guild, Wizard's of Fiore, and the relocation of the Magic Council's headquarters to Magnolia, it exponentially grew in size and importance. It took many years for the people to recover from the sheer amount of destruction that the civil war brought to the country but in the end, they did just that and so, here we are now, 6 years later, witnessing a new era for Fiore.


The sound of machines beeping, a pulse that could not be heard, white lights illuminating the nonetheless, dark room. The clicking sound of shoes making contact with the floor, slowly inching closer and closer. "Doctor, we just got the test results and it's just as you said," the assistant told the bespectacled man standing beside the bed while giving him two sheets of paper. "Yes. This is good. This is really good," the man exclaimed and turned his attention towards the bed. "Hehehe... Well, my boy. You are indeed the one. I'm going to have such a good t-

-IME. Zzzt. The eternano current traveled through his body, shocking him awake. "Master! It's almost noon! It's about time you woke up!" Mio yelled, although no one but Nigel could hear her. He sat up on his bed and opened the command console. "Ugh..Mio..I've told you countless times to not wake me up so roughly," Nigel told her in response while rubbing the back of his head. "And I think we've already had a little talk about your ...careless use of eternano, just like you did now..."

"But Masteeeer, it was you that programmed me that way so that I would make sure that you did not oversleep after staying awake for so long, experimenting," Mio said and pouted. "She does have a point there... Ugh, whatever am I going to do with you?" Nigel said and laughed, inciting another jolt of eternano from Mio. "Hey! Why'd you do that for?" he said jokingly. "Hmph!" Mio turned her back and closed the console.

Chuckling, Nigel got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom. "Ah, a nice, cold shower first thing in the morning is the best..." he thought as he entered the shower, closing the door behind him. He let the water fall on his back for a while, trying to stave off the remaining of his sleepiness. "I had the same dream again... how many times does this make it? Ugh..." Nigel rubbed his temples and proceeded to finish with his morning routine before putting on some clothes and heading downstairs to make some breakfast, well, breakfast for him at least. For most people, it would probably be time for lunch but Nigel didn't really care about that so much.

"Miooooo! Nigel called whilst sipping on his coffee. "Miiiiooooo!" The console suddenly opened once again, "WHAT!?" "Hehe, why are you angry? It was only a joke. Okay, sorry. There. Are you happy now?" he told her but she was unrelenting. "I am not a kid! I am a perfectly grown up artificial intelligence! Oh, but I know what is wrong, though," Mio snickered. "You're just jealous that you can't be like that fire mage we met the other day. Oh, how good must it feel to be able to change the properties of eternano. Aww, It's really regrettable that you can't do that, Master," she told him with mock pity.

Coffee flew out of Nigel's mouth once he heard her mention the fire mage. "No I am not! Who is jealous? Certainly not me! Why you, it's probably time I really took a better look at your behavioral patterns. That ought to give you a lesson..." he said while sponging the spilled coffee from the table with a cloth. "Anyway, It's about time we went over to the guild," Nigel said and, after finishing his coffee, grabbed his coat and exited his apartment.


The walk to the guild was like every other time, quiet and uneventful. "Pff, sometimes I think that It's too peaceful... It's too good to be true, really..." Nigel sighed reached for the guild hall's doors. "Hey everyone!" Nigel called, making his presence known to his fellow guildmates, and walked towards the bar. He sat down on one of the stools and grabbed one of the many small inventions of his that he carried around with him whenever he left his house. Hey, a man had to occupy his time somehow. It seemed there weren't any jobs available and usually, if that was the case, his inventions took up most of his time - albeit, that happened even when there were jobs that he could take.
Ok then :D
@Vec Ah alright. Np.


...which means? Yes or No? :/
Well, I originally planned for Nigel to be a new addition to the guild, thats why i put in "not officially tested" as his rank. Nevertheless, If you guys would have me, I won't say no. Just gotta make some adjustments to his CS.
After a long delay, I'm finally able to intro my char. It's been a literal rollercoaster these past few weeks. Sorry for the wait. I have a couple of questions, is there any activity around the guild hall/who is there atm, if there are any and lastly, is there anyone that I could interact with right off the bat?
<Snipped quote by Vec>

Takes place 20 years after the game/shows.

Professor Oak was already kind of old to begin with xD

But yeah, he is. Gary took over his position.


wait, 20 years? :O i thought we kept the old 10 years thing from the previous rp.
Nate

Next in line after him where the boy from before, the one that bumped into Nate, and another...girl? She seemed like a girl, but with all that hair in front of her face, Nate couldn't say for sure. Nate hadn't even noticed her when he first walked inside the lab. Anyhow, the former chose Chikorita and the latter chose Mismagius as their respective starters. They seemed to like their Pokemon so that was good. His father always told him that the bond between the trainer and his first Pokemon should be the strongest of all the other bonds they make.

After them, the red-haired girl from before walked up to the table to pick her starter too. After watching her for a bit, Nate realised that the girl probably had zero knowledge when it came to Pokemon. The way she walked to the table, her hesitation, even after picking one, Nate could see that she wasn't exactly what you'd call, comfortable with her new partner.

"I apologize if anyone told you that you'd be getting one," Prof. Elm began to say, prompting Nate to turn his attention to him. "But you're not. We haven't given Pokedexes out to trainers in quite some time. They're typically reserved for research assistants and other people that are helping with research. Aside from being somewhat expensive, they are valuable research tools. You are right, though, Yuu. we could give Pokedexes to every trainer that wanted one and it could be a great help. When we first started noticing something was wrong with the Pokemon, we did exactly that and found nothing abnormal with them, aside from their increased aggression. All the professors enlisted the help of all of the Pokemon trainers that were willing, but..."

Nate was beginning to see the logic behind Elm's argument. He supposed the Pokedexes were indeed, quite expensive to make and thus, couldn't afford to give away a large number of them to new trainers. Some might lose their Pokedex or even break it and others might just not use it at all. Plus, there were bound to be times when research needed to be conducted on the spot, out in the wilderness. It's not like new or even veteran trainers for that matter, had the sort of expert knowledge researchers like Prof. Elm had so they themselves could conduct the necessary research.

"It's taken awhile, but I'm finally close to a breakthrough, I think. I'm not sure...but whatever affecting them is starting when they're eggs, and not Pokemon. It's just a theory, but If all goes well, I could have a breakthrough."

"Hmmm, so they are born highly aggressive rather than slowly turning feral as the grow up..." That was new information to Nate. All that time, he thought that Pokemon randomly started attacking people out of the blue, which is true in a sense as no one really expected it to happen. But with this revelation, it would mean that something had been going on long before Pokemon first showed signs of aggression, 10 years ago. Nate decided to not pursue the matter more. The Prof. made it clear that they would not get Pokedexes.

Last but not least, The blonde girl Nate talked to outside the Lab had also picked her Pokemon, a Cyndaquil. Nate didn't have time to comment on her choice as Prof. Elm quickly urged them to get going. Admittedly, it was getting late and Pokemon were definitely more aggressive at night than in the day. Nate knelt down, coming to eye level with Seb. "Buddy, time to get back inside the pokeball." Nate saw the confused look in the Totodile's eyes. "Don't worry, I'm going to let you out lots but for now..." Nate pressed the button and Seb returned back inside his pokeball, which Nate strapped on his belt.

"Well then, let's get going!" Nate said quite loudly. "Thanks for the pokemon and the license, Prof. Elm," he told Elm and started walking towards the exit.

....and that was the conclusion one Professor Gary Oak came too....


I just noticed this. Is Prof. Oak dead? :O
I am up for both Kho's and Cyclone's ideas. With D2, we could finally finish that time-skip. I for one, although I am at fault here for not posting, am not happy with my char's progress. If everyone has the will to continue this come summer, be sure that I'll be tagging along too.
