Thread: The Gym Leader Tales

Gym Leader Tales

Anyway this is my first ever RP that I'm doing and hopefully it will not be dead.

Story

Kanto was once a peaceful place after Team Rocket's plot failed by a young unknown trainer. However times changed and 10 years later, Team Rocket was back to reek havoc and chaos but this time for Hoenn which was somewhere they saw as a starting place to take control of the world. The first point of play was the take control of the Elite 4 and mold it to their own to create the Elite 5. They poached one Gym Leader from every region. They kept Koga from Kanto, Clair from Kanto, Flannery from Hoenn, Roark from Sinnoh and Skyla from Unova all specializing in their own types (Poison, Dragon, Fire, Rock and Flying respectively). It was easy to control Flannery, Roark and Skyla according to Koga and Clair as they were already agents of Team Rocket. Team Rocket run by a new leader made sure that the Elite 5 was to be placed in the Sevii Islands as well.

To make sure everything went smoothly they reshuffled the Gym Leaders. Firing the older ones and changing it around so Hoenn could have new Gym Leaders. The second act was to exile all previous Elite 4 members of Hoenn and replace the Gym leaders of the current Elite 5. However people soon became skeptical of Team Rocket's actions, so they had to win over the public with propaganda and peaceful tools which they managed to do successfully. Everything was going smoothly and it seemed by the public that Team Rocket was actually trying to do good rather than evil. However Hoenn needed new Gym Leaders and Skyla suggested a competition where the best of the best trainers who wanted to be a Gym Leader. The new mysterious leader of Team Rocket said to go with it and is hoping to use it to take control of the world.

So through many marketing gimmicks, Skyla and Roark announced that Sevii Islands will host the competition to find Hoenn's new Gym Leaders with absolute excitement buzzing around the 5 regions. You among many are joining the battle. To take the dream job and enjoy the perks. You will work with other Gym Leaders if you win. The competition will test many attributes related to being a Gym Leader. The 8 winners by rank will take their place as Gym Leaders and work day by day as you learn, battle trainers, travel, take part to help Team Rocket unaware and ignorant to their proper activities. As you progress the plot of Team Rocket's plans will become clearer but that is later.

What you'll do

Well firstly you compete in the competition, meet your competitors and strut your stuff. Naturally if we have more than 8 users then I will think of other plots for the others which will be very important. Then if you are a Gym Leader if you will do day to day activities, battle trainers, do publicity stuff, help Team Rocket unknowingly, travel, meet up with other Gym Leaders and so forth. I will take control of all the Elite 5 and the mysterious new leader. The plot will reach a point where a few things will happen that will lead to a massive event.

Name: Calvin O'Brien

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: Calvin has fair skin, golden-brown spiky hair, blue eyes, and a round face. He wears a blue hat with gray Pokeball symbol, blue sleeveless 6 pocket vest, gray long sleeve undershirt, blue gloves with gray fingers, blue cargo jeans, blue and gray backpack, and blue shoes with gray trim. Stands at 6'3" with an average build.

History: Calvin was born in Castelia City and lived there during the first few years of his life. Eventually, their parents began traveling the world with him, and he always had Pokemon around him. Being exposed to Pokemon so much made him want to be a Pokemon Trainer, and he eventually started befriending and catching Pokemon of his own. He did a lot of training and bonding with them, but never got to try and collect any badges, as they were always moving around. However, he was able to study a good deal. He found normal-types to be the most appealing, and began developing a training style for that type. When he realized the significance of his choice to train normal-types, He decided to become a normal-type Gym Leader. As such, he planned to teach Trainers about using abilities, and moves that affect abilities, to their advantage. He eventually gained an affinity for double battles, which he specializes in. Not long after he became a Gym Leader, he met a fellow rookie, Raven. She was a dark specialist, and became a rival to him, which proved mutually beneficial as they both kept improving.

Personality: Calvin is a very ambitious person. He strives to do his absolute best in any battle, but isn't concerned about winning all the time. He believes the only time you truly lose is when you don't try your hardest. He gets along well with most people, and cares a great deal about his friends to the point of doing anything for them.

Pokemon Type: Normal

Pokemon Team:

Chansey: The first Pokemon he caught. He met it as a Happiny, and trained it to take a support role in battles. Shortly after becoming a Gym Leader, she started showing a desire to evolve, so he found her an Oval Stone and let her evolve. She's typically his longest-lasting Pokemon in battle. Ability: Natural Cure
Moves: Wish, Heal Pulse, Heal Bell, Psychic

Porygon-Z: A Pokemon that he traded for, which he soon discovered was very strong. He typically uses it as a heavy offensive force, due to its powerful attacks. He values it greatly, though it doesn't seem to see its value on the team. Ability: Adaptability
Moves: Tri Attack, Lock-On, Zap Cannon, Dark Pulse

Slaking: The hidden powerhouse of the team. Calvin caught him during a trip through Petalburg Woods in Hoenn. He is typically used last, due to his destructive power and ability to end battles quick as a flash. Ability: Truant
Moves: Return, Night Slash, Earthquake, Counter

Togekiss: Calvin's first Pokemon, hatched from an egg before he started his journey. She has been his partner throughout his career, and the two are inseparable. She is his most reliable Pokemon, and loves to battle. Ability: Serene Grace
Moves: Air Slash, Aura Sphere, Thunder Wave, Roost

Name: Raven Taylor

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Appearance: Raven has a round face as she has yet to lose her baby fat, fair skin, long black straight hair that falls past her waist and is usually kept in a ponytail, and blue eyes. She stands at 5'5", and is fairly curvy. She is seen wearing a black short-sleeve blouse, black skirt, black leggings, and black ballerina shoes.

History: Raven lived her life as an antisocial person. She never played with or talked to people, mostly due to being shy. She also held contempt for them, since they were immature and ignorant about the world. She preferred to keep to herself and study about the world and Pokemon. She especially loved dark-types, since they fit her personality. When she became a Trainer, she worked toward becoming a Gym Leader. She wanted to teach Trainers to be ready for anything and everything the opposition throws at you. When she was finally able to become a Gym Leader, she met her first friend and rival in Calvin. The two kept each other on a constant improvement curve ever since.

Personality: Raven is a very reclusive person, shy and cold to most people she meets. If she deems someone worthy, she will eventually let up and show a more friendly side. To people she hates, she relentlessly torments them. She's basically a Tsundere type A.

Pokemon Type: Dark

Pokemon Team:

Umbreon: Her first choice in battles. She obtained her as an Eevee, and raised her to befit her dark battling style. The two are good friends. Ability: Synchronize
Moves: Toxic, Taunt, Sucker Punch, Moonlight

Zoroark: Received as an egg from a friend. She is playful, and not in a good way. She likes to change form and play pranks on people that end up with someone getting hurt. In battle, she's likely to do a lot of damage. Ability: Illusion
Moves: Nasty Plot, Night Daze, Focus Blast, Extrasensory

Ninetales: Raven's secret weapon, and an unlikely one. Her docile disposition makes her seem like an easy opponent, but she's far from it. She was caught in a forest and raised to be a deadly Pokemon. Ability: Drought
Moves: Heat Wave, Toxic, Dark Pulse, Extrasensory

Shiftry: Her first Pokemon, and the one for which she is most notorious in battle. He is her strongest, and is capable of ending battles as quick as a flash. The two are inseparable, and are almost always seen together. Ability: Chlorophyll
Moves: Sunny Day, Taunt, Sucker Punch, Seed Bomb

@Calvin the Unknown (Not sure how to work the mention part)
For Calvin: No probs and nice addition with the Slaking
For Raven: You might want to change Camille in the appearance part.

You're good if you make that slight change (kind of obvious you copied but I don't care) :P

Name: Jacob Kale

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Appearance: He stands at 5'1" and is of average build. He has red hair that hangs into his eyes, and wears glasses. His high cheekbones and square jaw make him look more serious than he really acts. He has freckles which are fairly hidden in the winter but show more in summer. He often wears simple t-shirts and shorts, but wears nice suits at special occasions. He doesn't usually wear hats because they make his scalp itch, but will wear a baseball cap in intense sunlight.

History: Hailing from Nuvema Town, he went on a journey in his home region of Unova after getting a sufficient education from home. He defeated all the Gym Leaders, but then disaster struck. At the Pokemon League, he chose to battle Caitlin first and was beaten quick as a flash. After that, he grew to resent Pokemon battling, which he did for a few years. He became very reclusive and lived off of berries and the money he won from defeating passersby in rigged games of chance. When he heard about the contest he started saving up money for the ferry to the Sevii Islands.

Personality: He is quiet but cheerful and happy. He enjoys telling and listening to jokes and stories and is very bookish. He is scared of snake Pokemon to the point that if he sees one, he will freeze in place and repeat "snake, snake, snake, snake" until his Pokemon manage to either calm him down or defeat it.

Pokemon Type: Fighting

Pokemon Team: Mienshao: Jacob received her from his uncle as a Mienfoo. She is the ace up his sleeve, saved for the clutch times in battles.
Ability: Inner Focus; Moves: Force Palm, Hi Jump Kick, Aura Sphere, Drain Punch

Sawk: The first Pokemon he caught, and his lead in battle.
Ability: Sturdy; Moves: Double Kick, Low Sweep, Karate Chop, Brick Break

Throh: Sawk's half-brother. He started following Jacob around after Sawk was caught.
Ability: Guts; Moves: Seismic Toss, Vital Throw, Storm Throw, Circle Throw

Gallade: A situational Pokemon used to counter Psychic- and Flying-types.
Ability: Steadfast; Moves: Leaf Blade, Confusion, Psycho Cut, Protect

Oops. Camille is a primary character that I use in most rps. Guess I didn't proofread well enough.

@Calvin the Unknown That's fine just fix it up Accepted

@Summer Camp Could you flesh out appearance, personality and history please.

Could I reserve electric, please?

Here's my SU

Name: Junine Ikadoshi

Age: 17

Gender: Girl

Appearance: Long white hair wore down and purple eyes. She is average height at 5’5’’. She wears a green vest with a yellow hood over a black shirt with sleeves that extend to her elbows. She wears blue jeans and black sneakers. Around her neck is a gold reshiram shaped locket.

History: Junine grew up in Striaton City, Unova with her family living peacefully. When she was eight her brother found an egg and hatched it. The egg turned out to be a charmander and quickly evolved into a charizard. While it was friendly usually one day it turned on Junine and attacked her chasing her until she couldn’t run anymore. The charizard burned her upper left arm scarring it permanently. Before it could do anymore damage a snivy appeared and fought against the charizard the best it could, it’s back right leg being burned permanently. At last minute the two were saved by reshiram who knocked the charizard out. Her family caught up and put it in its pokeball. The snivy stayed with Junine afterwards and his younger sister, a tepig became the partner of Junine’s brother. At ten she left home with her snivy and traveled to become a top coordinator. While taking a break she decided to challenge the Unova league realizing her talent for battle. Hearing about the competition for new gym leaders in Hoenn she decided to become one and enter.

Personality: Junine is kind and caring, but is also harsh when teaching something or feeling someone is wrong. She’s not afraid to speak her mind, and fight for what she believes is right. She is confident in her pokemon’s abilities and trusts them completely. She is afraid of fire types, but can battle them minus Charizard and its pre-evolutions, the only three she can never be around. She is very knowledgeable about the different kinds of pokemon and what they can do. She fins Unova to be the most advanced region and looks down on the other ones technology wise, but still likes small towns finding them peacful. She loves to play her flute for wild pokemon.
