Group RP A New Adventure: A Trainer RP

Taidana glanced around Wisteria Town with a faint smile on his lips, he had been here for a few days already arriving early accidentally when travelling the route outside of the Town. Straight away he had found himself drawn in by the friendly community, and he was almost always exploring the town. "It's a nice place, isn't it, Sceptile?" He asked out loud, receiving a grunt from the reptilian Pokémon behind him.

Just slightly shorter than Taidana, Sceptile carried his signature twig in his mouth, something he picked up as a Treeko after witnessing Taidana's own father carry a similar habit. "Suppose we should head back to the Pokémon Center buddy, any longer and she might get annoyed." He mumbled half to himself, peering down at his belt where Absol's Pokémon hung.

Sensing his partners agreement, Taidana turned on his heel and began to pace back to the building he was staying in, giving half smiles to the residents he passed by. "Boy they're really excited." He mumbled entering the building, nodding to Nurse Joy in greetings, and approaching the Lounge. As soon as he found himself a seat one of his Pokéballs snapped open, giving way to Absol's form who appeared staring dryly at her trainer.

"Okay... I know, I promised five minutes but in my defence it was a nice day." He semi-pleaded with the disaster Pokémon who's stare turned into a glare, "Uh I got snacks?" The moment "snacks" were mentioned Absol leapt onto the seat beside Taidana and began to sniff around for the snacks, "Jeez calm down, I'll get them in a minute." He grumbled. Despite his apparent grumpiness there was a small smile on his face as he reached into his bag, "Now you can only have a few, we'll have some battles soon remember?"

Ignoring him the Pokémon snatched the now revealed Mago Berry from his hand. With a roll of his eyes, Taidana glanced towards Sceptile, "Hungry, buddy?" He asked his oldest partner who simply shrugged before retreating back to his Pokéball. "Lazy reptile," Taidana grumbled fondly as he pulled out his own collection of berries.

 

Krystal exited the airport, surveying the town she arrived in. "According to this map, this is Ipomoea Town. Isn't it exciting, Lola? A brand new region for us to explore!" She smiled at the rabbit Pokémon perched on her shoulder. "Bun~!" The Buneary nuzzled into her trainer's shoulder, enjoying scenery. "Reminds me a bit of home, don't you agree?", the young trainer stretched and relaxed after a long flight.
"..Where should we go first?", Krystal pondered, preparing to head deeper into the town. Smooze's Friendball rested on her belt, she feared causing a disruption from her Grimer's stench. Krystal had gotten used to the smell, but complete strangers..? Probably not.

 

"Hm. Ipomoea Town, is it?" Carlos pulled out a map from his pocket, quickly scanning the town from the airport exit. He took note of the many morning glories scattered around the area, painting the town in shades of indigo, violet, and lilac - the reason why he had come to the region in the first place. Slowly walking over to a safe spot on the pavement, he began to take a couple notes and a rough sketch, slipping away from the world around him.
"Sni?" A worried squeak emitted from hiss hood, as the weight inside shifted a little, forcing him back into reality. He could already feel one of her small, leaf-like hands clinging onto his neck.
"Don't worry, Snivy. I still remember the other reason we're here." Crouching down, he let her scramble out of the comforts of his hood and onto his shoulder, then down to his knee, and finally onto the ground to walk beside him. "We should probably head for the Center."

 

A refreshing start to a new journey, she hoped.

Illya had arrived at Ipomoea Town, looking at her Nidorina Quinzel who was equally excited.

“We have a whole road ahead of us, don’t we?” She looked around the seemingly quaint town. Even though she was tired, the sight of the small town reminded her of home already.

Quinzel seemed to ignore her master and sniffed at a morning glory, which only made Illya smile even more, as she reached down to caress the petals. A beauty they are.

Letting out her other Pokémon, she was greeted with a disgruntled hoot from her other companion.

“Noctis don’t look at me like that, they didn’t allow Pokémon to be released from their Pokeballs during the trip...” Illya pet the head of the avian Pokémon whose protesting hoots only grow more annoyed, and ruffled his feathers, before eventually calming down with a long ever suffering hoot of a sigh.

She looked around for anyone else, before she walked towards the professor’s home, a little shade under the sunny sky.

 

"So this is Kaiko region!" Cobalt said with a smile coming out of the airport. As he continued to walk towards the sunlight his bag shook.

"Huh?!" Cobalt exclaimed,"Oh I forgot!!

He took his bag off and opened it. As soon as he opened it a blue frog type Pokémon jumped out.

"Fro!" The Pokémon glared Coblat.

"Sorry Froakie but what can I do! They were not allowing Pokémon out of there Pokéball during the flight." Cobalt said.

"Fro..." Froakie sighed.

"Okay lets get to the Pokémon centre we need to get you checked up!" Cobalt said. Froakie nodded and jumped on his shoulder. Soon they reached the Pokémon centre. Cobalt gave Froakie to Nurse Joy. While he was waiting his eyes fell on a poster on the wall.

'A Pokémon contest! We should check it out! We could defintely learn something!' Cobalt thought. He was snapped out of his thought by Nurse Joy.

"Your Froakie is all fine, it just needed some rest!" Nurse Joy said.

"Thank you, Nurse Joy! But can you tell me where the contest is going to be held?" Cobalt asked.

"Oh that it is going to be held in Wisteria town." Nurse Joy replied. Soon Cobalt had some lunch. Then he went to his room in the Pokémon centre to sleep due to being effected by jet lag.

 

Shadow brushed the hair from his eyes as he sat down to watch the Ducklett swim in a lake in Ipomoea City. He brought out a Pokéball and let his shiny Riolu out. The Riolu let out a cry and stretched.

“It feels good being out of that Pokéball, doesn’t it? Don’t worry, while we’re here you don’t have to be in that Pokéball as often.”

Riolu let out another cry and stared at me.

“Oh, you want me to let out Charmander so that you two can play before we go see the professor, right?”

Riolu nodded.

“Alright, ok, but make sure that Charmander doesn’t fall into the water ok?”

Shadow let Charmander out and it yawned. Riolu jumped up in excitement and started chasing Charmander around. Shadow felt that he could watch these two play for the rest of his life, but knew that they had to go to the professor’s house pretty soon.

“Charmander, Riolu, it’s time to go to the professor.”

The two Pokémon stared at me in disappointment.

“I know, but you guys can play some later. Come on. Charmander, just to make sure that you don’t burn down anything, please return.”

Charmander disappeared back into his Pokéball.

“Ok,” I thought to myself. “Time to meet someone new. Don’t try to overdo it. Don’t try to be awkward. Who am I kidding? I always prefer battling over any social interaction.”

Riolu lightly tugged at my pants.

“Alright, we’re going, Riolu.”

 

Unsure on what to do, Krystal entered the Pokémon Center. "If you don't know where to go or what to do, the nurses at the local Center can always lend a helping hand..", she mimicked her father, repeating his advice to her when she was young. Lola had climbed down and started to investigate the Center. She noticed a Froakie and approached, waving hello. "Buneary! [Hello there!]"

 

The Pokémon Center was a soothing place. Ipomoea was a rather small town, but Snivy still got nervous quickly. Carlos placed a hand on her head, attempting to quiet her down. Was she already homesick?
"It's been a very short while since we left Unova, Snivy," he comforted the smaller Pokémon. "It's all going to be alright, okay? This is only your first time. I'm sure you can do it." As she slowly began to settle, he opened up his notebook again. Checking with the crude sketch and notes he had made earlier, he slowly began to add to his notes, once again lost in his own world, once again at peace. Even the little snake on his lap was beginning to look a bit sleepy. He smiled down at her - this was her first time outside her home region. He had been the same when he first left Kalos. But for now, all was quiet.

 

Cobalt quickly woke up and checked the time. It was 5: 00 P.M. He quickly jumped out of the bed and changed into his traveling clothes. He then woke Froakie up and packed up his medium sized traveling bag. Froakie jumped on his shoulder and he went out of his room.

His Froakie suddenly jumped of his shoulder and went to a female trainer's Buneray.

"Hey Froakie wait!" Cobalt said following his Froakie.

 

Silvia was staring at her Poketch, she had been following the digital map around for ages, even updating it before she left, it felt out of date, and even Cobalt was starting to get irritated with her. "Emplo!" The Pokémon said in an annoyed tone, waving its fin at one of the paths.

"It is not that way Cobalt, it's to the lef- Oh no, you are right straight ahead." The trainer nodded, tapping the map off of her watch and walking forward and into a quaint little town. There were so many people and so many decorations, "Ah just in time for the festival." She spun the Empoleon around and pulled the water and steel bird right back in, like they were dancing. "You ready to cheer on Cosmo?" Silvia asked, Cobalt puffing up at the question. "I know, I know, you don't like that you aren't performing, but we have to let him try."

"Polee Eon!" The large bird waddled on leaving Silvia behind after her poor attempt to reason.

She squealed, "Cobalt wait up." The coordinator grumbled under her breath about the prideful bird, catching up to the Pokémon. Silvia's breaks went on though as they passed a few stores with clothing in the window.

Cobalt continued to walk only to have to stop and wait, calling back to Silvia, "Empoleon, le leon!" He waved her on, obviously wanting to get a good rest at the Pokémon Center and a good meal.

Silvia sprinted to catch up, "I am just trying to find a cute little outfit for Cosmo, I am thinking about a little vest." She explained, even though they had plenty of props in her bag. He just fluffed up his feathers, holding his beak up in pride and walked with his trainer to the Pokémon Center, sometimes her Pokémon was more on track than Silvia was. "Yeah yeah, we were going to get you a nice rest." Silvia tutted.

The blue-haired beauty entered into the center, spotting the Nurse Joy of the region, loving her look, 'different from Sinnoh that's for sure' She thought, excited to see her such a distinct change. Heading up to counter, Silvia passed over her Pokédex to get it registered with this region and to get a room for the night. "All right Empoleon, take a short rest." She said, returning the Pokémon to the purple encased ball, handing it over to Nurse joy, along with another purple tinted ball. Letting Nurse Joy give them a short rejuvenation inside the machine before handing them back. "Thank you very much!"

Heading down the hall and unlocking her room, she found another bag already on the bed. Setting her own bag on the other one, she let the two balls fly through the air, "Come on out friends!" Silvia called. The two balls popping open, her shiny sylveon, Cosmo, appearing forward in a cascade of sparkles, and Cobalt in a wave of rainbow bubbles. "Alright boys, we have a roommate, so this is our side of the room."

Empoleon nodded, crossing it's fins while Cosmo yipped in excitement, nuzzling Silvia's leg. "Okay you two, why don't we go out and find some nice place to get some fresh berries for poffins." She said, picking Sylveon up, the coordinator liked to keep the small shiny Pokémon close when they went out. With Cobalt on her heels, she ventured back outside to look if she could find some Pokémon friendly restaurant. Spotting someone who looked friendly enough, she tapped on the red head's shoulder, "Hey there, so sorry to bother you, but would you happen to know where we could find a berry shop?" Silvia asked sweetly, Empoleon right behind her, looking as proud as ever, while little baby Cosmo seemed mystified by her hair.

 

Taidana glanced up from his musings as he felt a nudge on his leg, Absol had apparently grown bored with just sitting around and had decided to entertain herself by annoying her trainer. "If you're so bored..." He started to respond before trailing off as he watched a Totodile fire a water gun at its own trainer. The scene caused Taidana's lips to quirk into a small smile, "It seems I'm not the only one who has to deal with annoying Pokémon," He chuckled out, directing his gaze towards an indignant Absol.

"As I was saying, if you're so bored then we should be training." With the mention of training, Absol almost leapt off the seat and outside the Center, Taidana following at a more sedated pace summoning Sceptile as he walked.

"Alright, here's the plan. You two are going to spar, it'll be basic and just a test to see what you need to improve on." Taidana called out to the two battle-ready Pokémon. "Alright..." Taidana began, at the same time the blades of Sceptile's arms began to glow and Absol crouched. "Go!" The trainer shouted, and almost instantly the two Pokémon leapt at each other, Sceptile swiping forward with a Leaf Blade and Absol responding with a Brutal Swing, the two attacks meeting and causing the dust around them to launch up as they repeatedly clashed around the training field, all the while Taidana watched carefully ready to step in as soon as he saw fit.

 

Krystal approached Lola, and the approaching Froakie. "What are you doing..? Silly Buneary...", she lightly smiled. "I'm sorry..Lola's pretty friendly..", Krystal stumbled a bit of a apology. Lola waved at the frog Pokémon once more, [Hello.]

 

"Hey Froakie, I told you not to run away like this!" Cobalt sighed at his water type, but Froakie just ignored. Cobalt then turned his attention to the trainer in front of him.

"Uh.. hello my name is Cobalt!"

 

"I..I'm Krystal. Sorry about that.." She shyly smiled, embarrassed.

 

Shadow waited until the three trainers in front of the professor's house when inside before approaching the door. He lifted his hand towards the doorknob but hesitated to turn it. From the corner of his eye, he saw Riolu try to push at the door. His heart started racing.
"I guess I'm not the only one that is starting my journey today," Shadow sighed under his breath.
He carefully opened the door and silently walked inside with Riolu jumping around him with excitement.
"Please don't think that I'm special with this Riolu," I thought to myself.

 

Silvia shook her had a large smile, "I thought you were a local, but glad to meet another out of towner." She said, letting out a sigh of relief have a possible friend. "I am Silvia Amaryllis, and this here is Cosmo." She picked up his paw to wave. "Sylveon!" It yipped loudly in reply, Silvia chuckled and petting his head, "He is really young, very excitable." She explained trying to quiet the young shiny down a little.

Cobalt stepped forward from behind Silvia, offering a fin out to Daphne, "Empo, Empoleon!" He said, chest puffed up to try and show its power.

"This is my starter, my little Cobalt." Silvia cooed, helping brush back from of his steel feathers. "He is so picky, I know my poffins from a few days ago wouldn't please him, so I have to start fresh." She teased, making the bird huff at her.
