The Shironoki region. Once covered with icy forests, it soon grew into a land with small cities and villages surrounded by snow and pine trees. It's cold and almost usually snowing. Ages upon ages ago, Reshiram and Zekrom once battled in the center of the region. To stop them, Kyurem appeared and froze them - forming two statues on the Island of Serenity. But one day, Reshiram burned through the statue and flew over the region, melting some of the ice and allowing it to be inhabited.

Now the region thrives. While it may be small and widely unheard, Professor Pine and the champion Eira work together to keep Shironoki in balance. Many Pokémon thrive here, and today, new trainers are here to receive their starter Pokémon. It's tradition for people of age 15 to receive a dog Pokémon, as many trainers travel by dogsled.

But Team Glacier believes that Shironoki should return to how it once was - covered in ice. And how they're doing that? They seek to remove every fire Pokémon from the region, and harness the powers of Kyurem and Zekrom to defeat Reshiram.

Will you stand down and watch as your region succumbs to ice? Or will you fight with your new Pokémon partners to save the region?

shironoki cities & landmarks & etc

Show hidden content
Climate: Every city in Shironoki is usually covered in snow. The region is covered in ice and thick pine and fir trees, along with other plants that can survive in the snow.
Pokémon Distribution: There are little Fire Type here, notably because they can't survive in the climate, and Team Glacier seeks to remove them all from the region. Mostly tougher Pokémon live in the wild here, but some other Pokémon can survive in and around the cities.
People: While people here are accustomed to the cold, of course they still wear warm clothing. Most get around by dog sled, which is why that's the first Pokémon trainers receive. Jobs are fairly normal, and similar to ones in other regions.

Cities

Fir Town - a small town which contains the Pokémon Lab and the Green Nursery, a small building which is dedicated to the growth of plants and grass Pokémon.
Nimfuu City - a quiet city surrounded by a thick forest. It is usually dusted with snow. It houses the bug-type gym.
Harisoa City - a bustling city that handles all the shipments in and out of the region. The flying-type gym is here.
Village of Purity - a snowy village on a small mountain, only accessible by a trail. It is said to have very special energy.
Akobu Town - a town famous for it's special dish, a type of mochi. The normal-type gym is here, led by Tsukki.
Mozukai City - a beautiful city filled with flowers that survive in even the harshest conditions. It is very beautiful in the early morning and late evening. The grass type gym is here, in the forest.
Shizoyo City - a city with a storied past, evident in the large, destroyed tower in the middle of the town. A certain evil team is said to be residing there.
Enchichi City - a working town with harsh, cold conditions. It is surrounded by mountains, and the ground gym is deep within one.
Murumuri City - deep within the Dafuku forest is this overgrown city, rumored to be haunted by old ghosts of Pokémon. The ghost type gym is here.
Iwabato Town - a battling town on the coast. While it occasionally snows here, usually it is hailing or has a thunderstorm. It is a haven for electric or water type Pokémon.
Kunoaru City - the largest city in Shironoki. It does have a few large buildings, and is heavy with business and other industries. A tourist attraction here is the use of Pokémon to blow away snow and ice that is blocking parts of the city. Has a dragon-type gym.
Ruimei City - a port city with long docks that cross the frozen waters. A competition regularly takes place to see who can break the most ice to let a ship in.
Four Ruin - a ruined citadel with a strange stone statue outside of it. Legend has it that it once held the protector of Shironoki.
Akaui City - a center of fashion, music, and the arts with many museums and shops. The poison gym is here.
Battle Resort - home to a tournament-style battling facility, and a hotel.
Victory Road - this ice-covered path has many trainers all ready to battle to the Pokémon League.
Pokémon League - home to the four elite four members, and Eira, the champion.
Island of Serenity - ??? ??? ???

Name: Lucius Walker

Age: 15 and 3 months

Gender/Sexuality: Male/Bisexual

Appearance:
Show hidden content
Lucius has black hair that reaches right above his shoulder with a few white strands which are often pointed out by others. Lucius is slightly insecure when people talk about his white strands and how "he's becoming an old man too early." Whenever someone talks about it, sometimes he may pull his hood over his head to somewhat hide his white hair.
Lucius is about 5'6 and has a thin body. His wrist bones are evident and if he stretches enough, his ribs can be seen. Lucius has a relatively small waist as well. He has blue eyes and light brown skin.
Lucius most commonly wears a shirt over a sweater, with a jacket right above that. On rare occasions, he may even wear two jackets. His jacket is mostly black with a few accents of blue and white. The color of his shirt and sweater often varies since he possesses many. He usually wears black jeans and never allows his legs to be exposed.
Lucius worries about his appearance a lot even though he denies it. In the morning, he would spend 15 minutes deciding what he should wear early in the morning. At times when he notices something off about how he looks, he has to bite back the urge to fix it. He also makes good use of skin care products!

Personality:
Show hidden content
Lucius often looks stern and as if he were judging everything around him. He has trouble opening up to people because as a kid, he didn't like to talk to many people. When he was young, he mostly communicated with all the pokemon around his house (since they didn't have many opinions and thoughts) and thus lead to him having social awkwardness. He usually denies anything nice people say to him and gets a bit aggressive. If you spoil him for a long time though, he'll stop denying everything nice you say about him and get embarrassed. Lucius is very honest and states his opinion with no hesitation and without sugarcoating it. Lucius seems like he's slowly opening up to people though.

Crush: henwwy uwuwu

History:
Show hidden content
Lucius was born in Shironoki while his parents were born in Kalos. As a child, Lucius loved to take pictures of pokemon. His parents caught note of this and when Lucius became 15, they bought him a camera and told him to go on a journey in hopes that he would become sociable. Although Lucius was against the idea, he was eventually convinced because of the pictures he could take while on the journey. Lucius's motivation for the journey is to mainly take pictures of nature but he's thinking of taking the league challenge too.

Other:
- Lucius carries his camera in his bag and often takes it out
- He's kind of a tsundere and he knows it
- will add more later!

Name:
Erika Timonen

Age:
15

Gender/Sexuality
Female/Bisexual

Appearance:
Short and muscular, Erika has green eyes and brown hair that is tucked neatly into a french braid in the back of her head. Freckles dot her pale cheeks. She wears a blue jacket with fur along the hood, heavy enough to keep her warm in the cold weather of this region. She never wears hats unless it's really cold. Wears uggs and warm jeans.

Personality:
Erika will do just about anything for money. Risk her life? Done. Keep a secret? Done. Just pay her enough. She very rarely feels guilt (she's extremely stubborn and set in her ways) unless someone convinces her that she's done someone wrong. That being said, she's surprisingly friendly and good-humored. She just won't do anyone any favors. Not to mention her extreme nosiness and need to learn about other people. She does tend to have a different standpoint on the whole region-is-in-peril thing; since she's a local, she feels the need to defend this place with her life.

Name:
Hex Malachite
Age:
15
Gender/Sexuality
Female/Pan
Appearance:
Hex has jet black hair with red and blue feathers, each one's tip faded into black. Her skin is a light tan with large odd splotches of pale skin on her back that spreads to her shoulders and down to her elbows, getting smaller as it got closer to her elbows. The same splotches were on her knees going down to her ankles, she was born with this. She keeps wraps on where the pale splotches were as she didn't like the look of them. Her eyes are a very light grey, almost blending into the white of her eyes, so she usually wears different colored contacts. She wears black lace up boots, jean shorts, and a white crop top that says 'Like a BOSS' in golden letters.
Personality:
Hex is very self conscience about her skin as she has unnatural pale splotches on her arms and legs. She is usually kind but if someone mentions the wraps on her arms and legs she gets defencive and if someone sees/mentions her pale splotches, she will not hesitate to shut them up.

Name:
Amber Beckett

Age:
15

Gender/Sexuality
Female, and super-duper Pansexual

Appearance:
[Mega wippo] Amber has short blonde hair that’s usually kept down to keep her neck warm. She’s pale, and has dark brown eyes and a mole on her left cheek right below her eye that she kind of hates. Despite the cold weather, catching her without a short-sleeved shirt is almost impossible, she just flings a navy blue coat over it. She usually wears black or maroon sweatpants, and brown fuzzy boots.

Personality:
She’s easily entertained and more often than not relaxed. She loves styling and grooming Nova’s fur. She loves to hear herself talk, and talks to herself if nobody will talk to her. Despite that, she has a short fuse and gets frustrated quickly when things don’t work out the way she wanted them too.

Crush/BF/GF:

History:
Nothing special; She grew up here with her parents, spending a lot of time sledding since there isn’t much else to do in the snow. When she turned fifteen, her mom decided she was old enough to go out on her own. She jumped on the chance.

Name: Nicoline 'Nico' Starly
Age: 15
Gender/Sexuality Female, Bisexual
Appearance: Nicoline has semi-long hair that ends at her shoulders. She usually styles it in high set pigtails. Her natural hair color is light brown but she got tired of it and dyed it rose blonde. Nico has pretty pale skin and gray eyes. Nicoline is avarage height for her age. She isn't very muscular and has a thin body, however not thin enough to shows any bones. Nico usually wears some light blue jeans and a sweater. Over it she wears a light brown pea coat and a dull orange scarf. If the weather is very cold she can also wear black fuzzy earmuffs. On her feet she always has socks and black boots. She uses a black shoulder bag to carry everything.
Personality: Nicoline is a very quiet girl who prefers to listen rather than talk. Due to her being like this some find her very hard to read. Nico feels very insecure as she always worries she will say something weird or hurtful when talking to other trainers. She only feels confident talking when she is alone with her Pokémon. Nico is very gentle yet full of energy. She hates to do stuff half heartedly and will always push herself to do her best. Once a problem arises Nico wont leave it until she finds a sollution. She has always admired nature and the way pokémon live without trainers. You can often find her just observing wild pokémon go about their day.

Deerling|Ronno|level 5|Male

Crush/BF/GF: Open/pal pad if interested.
History: Nicoline comes from Mozukai City. There she would often spend her days just watching the flower feilds and the pokémon living among them. Her parents would always worry she would get attacked by the wild pokemon and not being able to defend herself due to not having a pokemon of her own. They made Nico agree to a certain distance from the feild just in case. Nico was very saddend by this and has ever since looked forward to recieving her starter.
Other: Last name was supposed to be 'Starling' but then I realised they dont exist in this universe, I hope 'Starly' is alright instead.
