The Start Of A Legend

[Yoshimitsu27]

It was a bright, sunny day over the Jadino Islands. The pokemon in Professor Syca's pokemon lab we all outside, except for the nocturnal ones. The water pokemon drifted lazily in the small lake, sometimes swimming to the deeper parts to cool off. The grass types planted their roots and absorbed some sunlight, or just fell asleep in the warming glow. The ground typed either hid behind rocks or dug holes to avoid the sunlight, prefering to not get dehydrated. All the pokemon were, basically, sat around quietly, taking advantage of the warm weather.

Becky was sat behind the desk in Professor Syca's office, looking through the desk for something. She had left Cubone at the lab to make sure he'd keep healthy and fit, but she had asked Syca to keep him seperate from the rest of the pokemon. Syca had told her that Cubone was in his desk, so she started looking for him.

"Come on... Oh, here you are..." Becky said, lifting up a pokeball. She checked the bottom, and sure enough, Cubone was carved there. She attached the pokeball to her belt, the pokeball automatically connecting due to the magnetic locks. She stood up, and hastily scribbled a message onto some spare paper, leaving the note on the desk. Syca would hopefully notice this, and discover why she left the lab.

Becky pushed a button on the inside of the sliding doors. The instantly opened, but would lock themselves when they closed. Only Professor Syca and Becky had the keys to open the doors, so the lab would be safe for now. She looked out onto the next route, sighed, and walked out of her hometown, into the Jadino islands. Her adventure had just begun.

OOC: *jaw drops* HE POSTED?!?!??!?!?!??!?!??!!!?!??!??!?!??!

[Yoshimitsu27]

OOC- *Jaw drops* JOSH SPAMMED?!

[Prof. Cinders]

OOC: Honestly guys, you both should know better. Replying to a spam is spamming by itself. And yes, I'm being all admin-y today ^_^ Anyway, if you do it again, I might do some banning for a short period. Even Josh.

George let out a gaping yawn as he swung himself out of bed, almost landing on his Psyduck which had spent the night emptying stolen ice-cream tubs under George's bed. Glaring at his pokemon, he quickly dressed and threw his stuff into a random bag: today, he'd be starting his pokemon journey. He didn't expect to get anywhere - he just wanted to get away from his family - but he was hoping to make a couple of new friends, maybe swap his Psyduck for a pokemon that was actually useful in battle. He returned it to its pokeball and strolled out of his house and town.

[Rosie]

Rosie stepped off the hovercraft, her hair full of sea salt and looking as awful as usual, and onto the dock in Kisuka. "Time for sun, sea and sand. Eh Erika?" she said to her Pikachu standing, faithful as ever, at her side.

[Hana-san]

Kaida walked out into the sunlight, she'd been camping out in the bushes and had just run away from a load of rampaging grass pokemon, including her own Bellossom, or Bella, as Kaida called it. "Bella gimme a break, I can't help it in i fall out of my sleeping-bag on top of you! Stop chasing me!" She made to start running again hurrying to get the angry Bellossom's pokeball out of her bum-bag, tripped and fell over, landing on top of a snoozing Ralts, "TYPICAL!" Kaida shouted as she started running from the two pokemon who were now chasing her, "Okay that's IT! Bella RETURN NOW!" Kaida shouted and managed to get Bella back into its pokeball, "Now for you!" she shouted turning around and glaring at the Ralts, "Pokeball GO!" Kaida threw a pokeball at the Ralts and watched as it shook and then was caught, "That'll show you, I think I'll call you, Marrie, yeah, that'll do."

A boy was standing next to a building, he was tall, had blonde hair and pasty skin, he wore his clothes loose and also had a bum bag on. "Hey Kaida, long time no see." the boy said when Kaida showed up.

"Hey Mat. How've you been?" Kaida said stopping next to the boy.

"Yeah, it's been cool." The boy, who's name was Matsu, or Mat for short, was Kaida's best friend, but Kaida had been away for a while, "How's Bella, I thought I heard you scream or something?"

"Well, she's alright, apart from being a bit squashed. Hey, I caught a Ralts just now, I so love catching female pokemon, I know it was a girl by the way it was running."

"Cool, you wanna come inside." Kaida and Mat went inside the building, "I'm going over to the lab later, I wanna see the Prof. you wanna come?" Mat said looking Kaida and sitting down.

"Sure, I got nuffin better to do." Kaida said and took the seat opposite Mat, "Can you believe I was away for a year, I caught a heap of pokemon, I think they all got transported here, if Im not mistaken."

"And you're not, me and dad have been looking after them for ya, you caught quite a mix this time."

"Yeah, well I thought that, Liz and Ami were cool with water types, but I wanna be good with a mix, and put it this way, my cousins aren't always that good when it comes to psycic types, so that's what I want to concentrate on."

"Cool, so come out back, you can see all the pokemon." Mat said, and took Kaida out the back of the building.

[PMJ]

OOC: Looks like a big RP... must get my finger in this pie! Any ideas? Which character should I use? *is out of inspiration*

[Hana-san]

OCC: I don't really know all of your characters.

BIC: Kaida and Mat, who had now finished checking how Kaida's pokemon, were heading over to the lab when, they had seen something heading out of town, but they didn't know what, when they saw it, they realised there was a girl and a pikachu near it, "C'mon Mat, it wouldn't hurt to see who's there." Kaida said pulling on Mat's arm.

"Oh fine let's go then." Mat said, he was in a bit of a bad mood, since he had been lifted up into the air by Kaida's Espeon.

"I said sorry about Espey." Kaida said, pulling harder on Mat's arm.

"Hey, stop with the pulling okay!" Mat said wrenching his arm away, "Hey you over there!" he shouted at the girl with the pikachu, "Hey over here, what'cha doing over there?"

[Rosie]

Rosie, who had turned towards the boat, turned her head innocently, scooping up her pikachu on the way. Turning around completely she sawa boy and girl who were addressing her. "Um.." she said, not sure what to say "Well I just got off that boat... I'm almost on holiday i suppose..." she trailed off as Erika tried to squirm out of her arms and run to the dock side, looking rather green. "She doesn't travel too well" Rosie explained. "I'm Rosie" the girl said distractedly, looking back at the boat and watching some more people stepping off it.

[Hana-san]

"Hi! I'm Kaida and this is-"

"I can introduce myself Kai, I'm Mat, never call me Matsu or you will die!" Mat said glaring at Kaida.

"Hehe, well, on holiday huh, this is a nice place here, I've only just got back from travelling, so I need to make myself back at home before I leave again..." Kaida said and lent against Mat, only to find he wasn't there and fell on the floor, "HEY!"

"Ha! That'll teach you and your Espeon!"

[Linkachu]

"This is great fun, eh Rufus?"

"Vee!"

"Lupus?"

"Doour!"

"Yeah! I love this place already!" Ceilidh grinned brightly as she marched down the path towards Kisuka Town. She'd wanted to visit the Jadino Islands since the first time she'd read about them and ever since arriving a week earlier she'd been having a grand time sight seeing and checking out the wild Pokemon. Nothing particular had caught her attention yet, but her eyes were open.

To her right trotted her Houndour, Lupus, and on her left Rufus, her Eevee, skipped along. The trio were all feeling carefree under the beaming sunshine, a gentle breeze blowing against their faces. Didn't get any better than this.

"Lupus and Rufus, the dynamic duo!" Ceilidh laughed brightly, both Pokemon cheering happily in unison. And a "duo" they were. Ever since the Pokemon had hatched two years ago they'd stuck together like brothers. It'd been an odd situation alright... Ceilidh's parents had predicted that their PokeEggs would be hatching soon, but nobody could've predicted that they would've hatched at precisely the same moment. It still baffled the girl to this day.

"I read that someone named Professor Syca lives in Kisuka Town. Hopefully he'll be able to tell us what kinds of Pokemon inhabit this area. Something rare and interesting I hope! Shouldn't be much longer now till we reach his lab... Hmm?" Ceilidh came to a halt as a figure came into view a short ways up the path, Rufus and Lupus doing the same. It took the trainer a few moments to make them out: a girl with rusty-brown hair (OOC: Going by Becky's sprite ) looking no more than Ceilidh's own age.

"Heh! They must've of just come from the town. Let's go say hi and see if they know the way to the lab!" Her Pokemon gave cries of agreement, and breaking into a run the trio skidded to a stop directly before the unfamiliar face. The girl seemed a bit surprised by the action but it didn't deter Ceilidh from piping up, "Hey there! You just came from Kisuka, eh? Can you tell me where the Prof's lab is? I gotta meet with him!" She paused a moment and held out her hand. "My name's Ceilidh. Nice to meet you!"

[Yoshimitsu27]

"Hi, I'm Becky." Becky said, smiling. She shook Ceilidh's hand. "Professor Syca isn't in his lab at the moment, he headed to Terra Firma town for some research on ground types. He's meeting the gym leader there. Then they're heading for Trund City to examine the pokemon there."

"We could head for Terra Firma town, if you want. The professor said he'd be staying there for at least a week, just so he could get all the necessary info, and that he'll probably stay longer so he could get some extra detail."

[Linkachu]

"Ground-types?" Ceilidh's ears perked up. Still hadn't caught herself one of those yet. "I guess if that's where he's gone, might as well head after him! Right guys?"

"Dour!" the dark/fire hound barked brightly in response.
"Vee! Eevee!" Rufus also added with a couple of hops.

"Oh, heh! Silly me. I didn't introduce my Pokemon to you," Ceilidh slapped her forehead, poking herself on the nose with her spiked bracelet. "YAAGH! Not again! ... Er, anyways. These are a couple of my close friends, Rufus and Lupus." She pointed from one to the other, both nodding at the mention of their name. "I'm looking to add a few Pokemon from this area to our team but I'm not sure what it has to offer. That's why I wanted to see the Prof. If anyone knows, he'll know! And speaking of which..." The way this Becky had described Professor Syca had been a bit interesting, and looking straight at her Ceilidh asked, "How'd you know the Prof. had gone to Terra Firma? Do you know the guy personally or something? 'Cause that'd be super helpful, too!"

[Hana-san]

"Anyway, we've gotta go to the lab" Mat said, he turned his back on Kaida and Rosie and walked down the opposite path.

"Sorry about him, see ya some other time Rosie!" Kaida said shooked Rosie's hand and ran after Mat, "Hey Mat! Wait for me, I need to pick up Espey from you house!"

"I'll meet you at the lab, I'm in a hurry Kai, you have fifteen pokemon, all grass and psycic types, I don't even have one! I'll see you later." Mat said and walked away from Kaida.

"FINE THEN!" Kaida said and stomped back to Mat's house, "Hi!" she said to Mat's dad, "I'm just her to pick up Espey and I might aswell get Xatty, lil darling hates being on his own." Once Kaida had gotten her two pokemon, she ran back oveer to lab and into the door, she had expected it to open, but instead she'd gone crashing into it, "OW!"

"Erm, Kai, I'm over here." Mat said, he was sitting on the ground next to a bush, stroking what seemed to be a cushion.

"AH! A Zigzagoon! Get it away from me!"

"What's your problem Kai?! It's cool!"

"That's one of the pokemon that was chasing me this morning!" the zigzagoon growled at Kaida and then ran back into the bushes.

"Oh well, I couldn't catch it anyway, I got no pokeballs."

"I thought you were going to see the prof."

"I waited for you stupid!" Mat said and grabbed hold of Kaida and kissed her full on. Kaida didn't know what was going on but she couldn't pull herself away, she always had liked Mat, but she thought that he only liked her as a friend. "See that's how I feel for you!" Mat said and hugged Kaida close up.

"I didn't know. I always liked you Mat. I always wanted to be with you while I was away." Kaida said she kissed Mat on the cheek.

"I think the lab's locked, let's go looking around I think Becky's around somewhere."

"Okay." Kaida held onto Mat's hand and walked with him to find Becky.

[Prof. Cinders]

A hooded figure stood at the edge of town, playing with a small pokeball in its right hand. Its face was completely covered, and the cloak it was wearing hid any figure it might have. The pokeball spun on the end of its finger, and was thrown into the air and caught deftly before being tucked back inside the thick cloak. Turning, the figure made its way through the streets of Kisuka, ready for anyone it may come across.

After spending at least ten minutes dodging the busy parts of town, the figure entered an open area. Several trainers were standing around chatting. The hooded figure headed towards a pair of them, which it had heard the names of: "Ceilidh" and "Becky". Maybe they would be of interest... The figure quickly made to shadow them, so if they moved, it would follow. A glimpse of a smile may have been seen by the bystanders if they looked as the shadowy figure melted into the shadows, hoping not to arouse too much interest.

[Yoshimitsu27]

"Oh, y'know... I work at the Lab with Professor Syca. He usually visits the different cities to gather information from the gym leaders, but each time he finishes one trip, one of the gym leaders phones and tells him about a new pokemon, or some recently discovered nests, or things like that." Becky said. After she finished speaking, something dawned on her. Cubone never liked staying in his pokeball for more than an hour at a time.

"Oh, sorry Cubone..." Becky said, grabbing her pokeball and pushing the button. In a flash, Cubone appeared, stretching. Cubone looked over at Ceilidh's pokemon and, realising that they wouldn't hurt her, went over to talk to them.

"Well, the next town's just in this direction." Becky said, gesturing towards the route that connected the two towns. "Shall we go?" And with that, she started walking, reletively slowly, out of Kisuka town and towards the next town.

[Hana-san]

"HEY! Becky WAIT!" Mat and Kaida were running towards Becky as fast as they could. "Professor Syca organised an appointment with me today, but no one's at the lab, I need my starter pokemon. Oh and this is Kaida, she's been travelling for a year."

"Hi!" Kaida said and held out her had to Becky.

[Prof. Cinders]

The figure made to walk out of the shadows in front of the group as they went to leave town, but was interrupted by the arrival of Kaida and Matsu and swiftly backed away again to avoid being seen before the time was ripe. It waited patiently for introductions to conclude, moving from shadow to shadow before anyone could notice the sweep of its cloak, arriving at a more convenient hiding place. Grinning, it prepared to give the group a fright before they left. It had some duties to carry out.

[Yoshimitsu27]

"He had an appointment with you?" Becky said blankly. Then she realised. "Didn't he reply saying that he was going to be out of town?" She answered her own question. "No, he only organised his trip yesterday... He didn't have time to phone everyone."

"Well, he'll be in Terra Firma town. We're heading there now." Becky said. "And it's always nice to have more people. Why not come along?"

[Hana-san]

"Sure!" Matsu said, "That's alright with you innit Kai."

"Yeah, I don't mind. A lil adventure never hurt anyone, apart from when you get chased by wild beedrill, that hurts... okay then lets go!"

[Chloe]

George was walking along the road when he suddenly fell into a plothole.

Because of the laws of transdimensional physics, it is necessary that something came out of the plothole to fill the plot-gap that George had just left.

It didn't. Ha.

[Linkachu]

"More companions now, eh? This is gonna be great fun indeed!" Ceilidh laughed as she stepped up to shake hands with the two newcommers. "Nice to meet you both! My name's Ceilidh Wild and I'm also seeking out the Professor. Those two are my good buddies, Rufus and Lupus!" She pointed to the Eevee and Houndour respectively. With a bright grin she added, "Let's all do our best to make this a great trip! I could do with some excitement right about now. But do me a favour first, Becky!" She paused to make sure she had the girl's full attention, "Tell me what kinds of Pokemon are along this route - particularly the rarer ones. Since you're the Prof's assistant you should know at least that much, eh?"

[PMJ]

"BECKY!" shouted Erin, "I need to see Professor Syca! Where is he?" She was shouting at the small group ahead of her, as she ran up the road, her black hair streaming behind her. She reached the group, out of breath, and turned to Becky "Hey Becky, the lab's locked, where's the prof?"

[Hana-san]

"Exactly how many people want to see the professor?" Matsu said, he was getting rather annoyed with the fact that more that just the four people were going.

"Don't be harsh Mat, it don't matter if more people want to come." Kaida said, she held onto Mat's arm and leaned on his shoulder.

"Come on we'd better get going." He took a few steps out onto the route.
