As Marcia and some of the other trainers enter the Museum, an aura of chaos permeates the room. Despite the cool jazz playing in the background, scientists behind the front desk are scrambling.

As you enter, one of the scientists perks up in recognition.
"Oh! You're the trainers who went into Viridian Forest?" she asks.

"What? N-no! We would never-" she cuts Marcia off. "We have intel, you know. Those guards didn't tell Oak or other law enforcement about you lot, but they told us. They told us that a group of trainers matching your descriptions went into the forest." Marcia winces. The scientist gets more serious. "None of you are in trouble. In fact, we need your help. Our strongest trainers, up to the Champion and Professor, are too afraid to get to the bottom of what, or who, has been rampaging the Kanto region and beyond. Our coalition wants to figure out what's happening so that we can stop this. You lot... are the only ones who know of the destruction in Viridian Forest, aside from our organization and Professor Oak. And since neither the Professor nor any actually prominent trainers will help us... we need your help." She takes a breath, preparing for her next speech. "We are Project Pax. Working within the Museum walls to independently research this strange and dangerous situation." a long pause. "We can reward you generously for your efforts in helping us, and these rewards will help you on your journey." the woman sheepishly twiddles her fingers. "I hope you'll at least consider our offer. We would first need help near Mt. Moon, dealing with a situation there. Meet my colleague Dr. Holly near Mt. Moon if you're interested. The guard by Route 3 will recognize you." she sighs. Her monitor has been beeping this entire conversation, and she's just about annoyed with it.

"Now... any questions?"

"Yay, we won!" Marcia cheers. "Alright, I relent. Your combined power was too much even for my enhanced team. I bestow the Boulder Badge to you both!" he says sternly, before handing over the little grey pins. Marcia attaches it to her Trainer Card as she walks out, looking at how it shines in the sunlight. She felt great, and so did her Pokemon! "Alright guys. We did what you wanted and got the gym badge, but now we get to do what I want. Museum time!" she sings gleefully, to the dismay of her already bored Pokemon.

The Pewter City Museum is open and operating, seemingly as usual. Calm, jazzy music plays over the hushed talk of museum-goers discussing the exhibits. All would seem normal, except for the scientists behind the counter pacing nervously. Their monitors are beeping uncontrollably and incessantly. One scientist runs out of the Museum, hurrying towards the West exit. "Hey! You can't pass unless you have Pewter City's Gym Badge! The dutiful guard recites. "Look, I'm a scientist from the Museum. There's a situation near Mt. Moon... we can't get into details, but we need you to clear Route 3. Don't let anyone through, even trainers who have the badge! Gosh, we'll have to contact law enforcement to set up another detour if we can't fix this..." he laments. The guard, concerned, relents, heading into the Route to clear it of any trainers.

Meanwhile, the scientists at the Museum are behind the desk, trying to fix their monitors without alerting guests.


(Goodnight everyone! I'll be back tomorrow after work. :D)

Marcia cheered. "You go, Hubie!" she shouts as he attacks. "Shelly, finish off the other Geodude with a Water Gun!" Shelly attacks, and having broken the Geodude's Sturdy ability, it goes down. "You think you've got me beat? Not yet!" Brock smiles. He sends out his last PokeBall, containing Onix. It's entrance on the battlefield set a menacing shadow on the two trainers and their Pokemon. Immediately, Brock orders it to use Rock Throw, damaging Shelly almost to the point of collapse. "Dang it, a critical hit!" she sighs. "Shelly, come back! and Sweetie, come on out, and use Harden!" she orders.

(I'd like my Kakuna to evolve here if that's cool :p)

Marcia jumped in excitement! "Great!" Brock smiles and sends out two Geodude. One sparkles when sent out, shimmering gold. "Wooow, that one looks cool!" she remarks. "Imagine a piece of that rock on a necklace!" she thinks to herself. "Maybe I'll be able to chip a piece off!" Sending out Squirtle, she decides to hit the shiny Geodude not with a super-effective Water Gun but with a Pound to chip off a piece of the rare Pokemon's rocky exterior. Shelly swipes a small piece of golden rock in her shell before going back to her trainer.

(@~Rengoku~ Ok, do not post on my RP. You didn't sign up with a character sheet, clearly did not read the rules (we are at the first gym, what new trainer starts with a fully evolved starter???) and you decided to make yourself way overpowered at that. You disregarded the entire sign-up portion of the RP and did not read the rules. Please do not post again.)

Marcia's Pokemon happily waltz through Pewter City, amazed by the architecture and dense population. Shelly only really knew the outskirts of Pallet Town's wilderness while Sweetie only experienced life inside Viridian Forest, so both were enamored with such a city. "Ya know, guys, there are bigger cities coming up! The map says there's this reealllyy big city called Saffron City-- with gold-colored roads and two gyms! Can you believe it?" she remarks. Coming from a tiny island, the Kanto region was truly astounding in its technology. She could only dream of a place with buildings that touched the sky way back home. "Ooh! The very first gym! I know you guys are excited, so let's get in there!" she says. To her dismay, there's a Junior Trainer blocking her way to the intimidating Gym Leader, but he turns out to be easy work with Shelly's Water Gun. "Oh, good! We're here!" Brock towers over her, a very tall and almost intimidating man. It's almost comical how the two clashed. Only then did her tunnel vision wear off, and she saw a familiar face. "Pheobe, hi!" she waves from a few feet away. "Hey, you're good at battles. Let's battle Brock together?" she asks. She quickly looks up at Brock, who looks back down on the short Trainer. "My rock-hard stubbornness makes it hard for me to say no to a challenge like a double battle. But be warned, I'll bring out an extra Pokemon to even the score!" he announces. Unbothered by this caveat, Marcia doubles down. "Ooh, a double battle would be so fun!" Sweetie spins excitedly in agreement.

@littenlover101

hi, I'm not gonna accept you because I don't think you read the rules of the RP before making your character (considering the age was wrong). It's important to me that the RP rules are followed and I have to come to the conclusion that you didn't read the rules before posting, apologies

Pewter City was just past the detour. Full of attractions, the main two being the Museum and the Gym, it's easy to find something to do in the Rugged Mountain City. To the east, the exit towards the next Route was blocked. "Some reallll powerful (and unusual....) Pokemon past these parts, ye know. Only trainers who could beat Brock can pass through 'ere!" a rugged officer would say to novice trainers trying to pass through. While the Museum might hold insight into what happened in Viridian Forest, will the pursuit of a shiny new gym badge be too great a temptation?

Brock's Team:
1. Geodude (with Tackle, Defense Curl, and Rock Throw)
2. Onix (with Tackle, Screech, Harden, and Rock Tomb)


Marcia battled her way through the trainers on the detour, combining the power of her Squirtle's Water Gun with Weedle's Poison Sting to beat the Youngster and Lass Trainers. It was a bit of a slog, but she made it all the way to the last trainer without too much issue. "Sweetie, let's finish this battle! Use Poison Sting!" Marcia had been in this particular battle for a while, due to the Youngster's tricky Pidgey. It was now just her Weedle against a weakened Pidgey, and Marcia was nervous. "He has a clear type advantage on me... shucks!" she thought. "Pidgey, dodge Poison Sting and use Gust!" the trainer yelled. "Oh no!" Marcia gasped. The Pidgey gracefully avoided the Poison Sting attack before sending a Gust towards the little Weedle. Weedle, however, did not want to go down so easily. With a glow of light, Weedle had evolved into a sturday Kakuna! When the Gust attack finally came her way, the newly evolved Sweetie took the Gust attack in stride with her new armored shell. "Oh, Sweetie!" Marcia gasped in glee. "You evolved! Alright, send out one more Poison Sting to finish this battle off!" The stunned trainer said nothing as his Pidgey finally went down, and Marcia could finally pass through into Pewter City. "I knew you evolved early, but you really saved our battle, Sweetie!" The Kakuna swayed with pride as the two headed to the Pewter City Pokemon Center to heal up, especially sinced Shelly was fainted from that last battle. After healing her Pokemon, Marcia formulated a plan. Opening her Pokedex, she examines Pewter City's map. "Well, the museum sounds interesting! How does that sound?" Shelly and Sweetie both groaned-- a boring museum? No thanks! "Oh alright. I know you guys are hungry for more battles, so how about we challenge the gym, then visit the museum?" Her Pokemon gave smiles of approval. Marcia giggles. "And I thought I was headstrong!" she laughs as she and her Pokemon head towards the Gym.

Marcia turns her attention towards Pheobe and Indigo. "I guess you're right, Indigo! According to my handy-dandy PokeDex..." click! the PokeDex opens, "Weedle evolves pretty early on. Maybe we should fight those trainers on the detour before moving ahead, huh?" Sweetie the Weedle twirls in anticipation- this was a feisty little bug!

(Sidenote, yall can feel free to write out every battle but I really ...do not want to... so I'll probably summarize unimportant trainer battles for myself!)

With not much left to explore in the remains of Viridian Forest, it would be wise to leave through the entrance and take the intended detour to Pewter City. Lined with trainers, the road would be a little challenging, but some good training.

Marcia finally walks out of the forest, alone, contemplating the situation as she takes her injured Weedle to the Viridian Pokemon Center. After healing her team up, she decided to take Weedle out of it's ball to formally introduce herself. Clang! The PokeBall opens, revealing a teeny tiny female Weedle. "Well, hello there! I'm-" Marcia got cut off by the Weedle's immediate aggression, swishing it's tail towards Marcia. Barely avoiding the attack, she steps farther away from the agitated bug Pokemon before trying again. "Ok. I know this is new for you, little sweetie. It must be really hard to have your home taken away, then to go somewhere new. But I'll tell you a secret, sweetie, I'm in the same boat as you. I lost my home too. We're both new to this place, and both a little scared, though neither of us want to admit it. So, let's at least face this together?" Marcia asks the little bug. Shelly is standing alongside her trainer, half out of fear and half out of solidarity. Wee... wee...! The Weedle puts away its stinger. Marcia smiles, then giggles a little. "I know you're gonna evolve into a big scary bee, but you're just a little sweetie, Sweetie!" she giggles. The Weedle, who was now accidentally named Sweetie, spins in excitement.

"Alright! Let's do this together, guys! Starting wiiiith..." Marcia checks her PokeDex. "Our first gym badge at Pewter City Gym!" Her happy demeanor was back, She was ready, not just to take on the Kanto region, but whatever has been destroying it.

“Well, if Ronno’s tastebuds know anything, then hopefully it wasn’t anything more than hungry Weedles…” Marcia says, still amazed. A tinge of familiarity seeped through her. Her face turned to a frown as she thought about the destruction. Clearly, the tsunami on 4 Island and this… they seemed too similar. Too out-of-the-blue. Unexplainable. But soon, her attention turned to a lonely Weedle, rummaging in the grass next to her, and her eyes lit up. “Well, at least I can catch a new friend!” She said before chucking a PokeBall at the already weakened bug type.

Shake, shake, shake… click!

“Well, at least catching the Pokemon here should be easy…” her positive demeanor didn’t do the best job at masking her intimidation. Surely, something greater than herself did this… she almost hopes it isn’t true, and yet, what’s an adventure without a villain?

The two Growlithe used Ember, one on each Pokemon, but the rain weakened the attacks.

"Thanks, bud!" Marcia smiles. "Yes.... well, trying to go to Viridian Forest, I mean." she explains. "Shelly, use Bubble, but aim for both the Growlithe!" Shelly obliges, and powered by the rain, the Squirtle hits a critical hit Bubble on the already weakened Growlithe to knock them out.

"Yes!" She turns to her fellow trainer. "Thanks to you and your Eevee, we beat these old geezers!" she laughs, putting out a hand to shake.

"Uughhh... fine, we'll let you lot in. You seem strong enough to handle whatever's in there. But don't tell anyone about this!" One officer groaned. "Yeah, we'd never hear the end of it if we said we got beat by two rookie trainers..." the other adds. "One more thing... don't go through the forest's exit. You can go into the forest, but there are guards on the other side of it as well. Take the detour once you're ready to go to Pewter City." With that final word of advice, they both step aside.

Walking and talking, Marcia heads into the gate leading to the forest. "Yaaayyy! Alright! I don't think they'll mess with our group now. Thanks for helping me out! What's your name, aga-"

Entering the forest, Marcia pauses. "W-what?"

Viridian Forest, if you could call it a forest anymore, was almost completely decimated. Trees line what looked like a huge crater in the center of what was once a verdant biome. It resembled a desert, now. Stray Pokemon, most of them hurt, stick to the sides of the forest where trees still remained, half out of necessity and half out of fear of the new people entering their old home.

(So! There are Pokemon to be caught here, but they're all hurt, so you don't have to put up much of a fight to catch them.

Regular Encounters:
- Weedle
- Caterpie
- Oddish
- Bellsprout
- Wurmple

Special Encounters (a wheel will be spun to determine who gets to catch these. Palpad me if you want to be in the draw! Though it won't happen for at least a few hours to give everyone a chance to decide!)

- Treecko
- Mudkip)

It was now morning, though the sky didn't exactly suggest it. It was foggy with a chance of rain later in the day, though that wouldn't stop our adventurous group of trainers!

"Alright, today we check out Viridian Forest!" Marcia told to her new friends. Seeing the gloomy weather, Marcia sighed. "Ooh, the rain will ruin my makeup!" Shelly, however, jumped for joy at the sight of a drizzle. Taking out a small umbrella, Marcia would protect herself from the rain while Shelly jumped in the puddles along Viridian City. Soon, she reached the gate.

"Oy! You there, little trainer! Didn't you hear? There's a Weedle infestation past these parts. Nobody's allowed in." One of the officers grumbled. The other followed, "Orders straight from Professor Oak, 'don't let anybody in!' and I nor you want to defy the Professor, do you?"

Marcia stood, slightly shocked at the sight of two police officers guarding the Forest. Surely, that's a bit overkill? "With all due respect, Mr. Policemen, I'm going into that forest. Oak's word means just about as much to me as the ground I'm stepping on. So, lemme in!"

The policemen laugh. "Allllright kid, I guess we'll have to settle this the old fashioned way!" One of them says. In an instant, both policemen send out their own Growlithe.

"Oh, a battle! Sweet! Shelly, go!" Marcia sends out her Squirtle. "Hmmm, it is a 2v1 right now..." Marcia turns her head back towards the city. "Anyone wanna battle with me?" she shouts, before sending a rain-boosted Bubble towards one of the Growlithe.

It was now nightfall in Viridian City. The only lights on in the city were those of the Pokemon Center and PokeMart, which are thankfully open 24 hours.

Marcia struts into Viridian City and immediately bolts for the PokeMart. "10 Antidotes, 15 Repels, 5 Potions, 15 PokeBalls... yeah, that sounds good!" she says to the clerk. After paying for her items, she and her overflowing wicker bag wobble over to the Pokemon Center for some much needed rest. "Let's wait here for our new friends! Then, in the morning, we can check out Viridian Forest." Marcia says to Shelly intently.

----------


"Tell me again why we're stationed to guard Viridian Forest? The most dangerous Pokemon in this place is the occasional Butterfree!" A police officer asks. "Apparently, there's a big Weedle infestation. But Oak seemed pretty concerned when he sent us over here. Kinda weird, considering Viridian Forest is full of Weedles anyway. But for the record, no way I'm gonna question him." the other guard retorts. "Oooh, scared that Mewtwo is hiding out in there, tough guy?" the first guard taunts. "N-no! Come on, it's just a rumor after all. Mewtwo doesn't even exist." he sighs, hoping he's right.

(I'll be AFK for a bit! Maybe some of your characters can get to know each other before entering Viridian Forest? I apologize for guarding it so heavily, I do have something planned there though ;p )

"Haha, I like Pecan's energy!" Marcia laughed as she walked along. Shelly, being a rotund and relatively slow Pokemon, didn't walk the fastest, but Marcia was ok with that. "I like you too, silly!" Marcia pats Shelly's head. "Maybe the Viridian Forest will have some flowers, and I can make you a nice flower crown!" she chirped. Shelly blew a few bubbles in agreement. Stopping at the entrance to Route 1, Marcia couldn't help but admire Pheobe's battle. "Wow, you did great!" Marcia yelled from where she was. "It's a shame you couldn't catch it, but Viridian City should be just up ahead! Then we can all get PokeBalls. How exciting!"

By now, the sun was setting. The lights of the Viridian City Pokemon Center and Mart beckoned weary trainers towards its sanctuary.

With the revelation that clumsy Ronno and polite Indigo would be joining her expedition, Marcia was elated. "Yay yay yay! Ok, I promise I'm not gonna attack you guys with my cool new Beedrill! Oh oh and also I'll buy SOOOOO many Repels and Antidotes that my bag will be exploding by the end of our shopping trip!" Marcia frantically waves her wicker bag around to make her point. It was a pretty big bag, so safe to say she would be well-equipped. "My parents gave me a fair sum of money before sending me out here, ya know. Usual overprotective parent stuff." She giggles, clearly excited to see the spectacle awaiting her. "So first order of business... getting to Viridian's PokeMart! According to this here map.." Marcia opens her PokeDex with a click! and checks the map, "it's just past Route 1." She closes her PokeDex, placing it gently into her bag. "Shall we?" Marcia asks as she struts out the door.
