The Town of Thres is located to the West of Route 5 in Kanto, the route between Cerulean City and Saffron City. It is surrounded by a vast forest, though there are three large clearings with a river connecting them all.

There are fruitful fields of berries and vegetables, and a few burrows and homes constructed for Pokémon. Cabins can be found beside these fields, furnished and a little dusty. Fire pits are scattered throughout the town, and the largest can be found in the town square. The make-shift healing hut contains a large electrical battery, which is advised for only Electric-Pokémon to refill, for emergencies.

It is a small town. It is a town with few rules, though all are welcome, few venture to stay longer than a few months. The strongest trainer is oft called the one 'in charge', though even fewer trainers stay for more than a year. There are no graves, or Ghost Pokémon lurking about. Few wild Pokémon hide in the forest, but seem to give the town a wide berth if they could help it.

It is simply the way how the town is.

Rules:
1] Follow PH rules. No graphic description of violence, or implication of mature themes. While there will be battling, there are no fatal injuries or death.
2] No God-modding. No one has special powers, or supernatural abilities. Trainers are human.
3] No bunnying. Do not take control of another RPer's character. You have your own character to play.
4] Write in complete sentences. There is no minimum or maximum for posts, but we do request that RPers try to communicate clearly the actions and speech of their characters.
5] One Trainer and one Pokémon. Your Trainer may have more than one Pokémon in their possession, but you may only have one Pokémon physically by your Trainer's side at any time.
6] Please hide your signature. They can be distracting to the RP post. Ignore this rule if there are less than 30 words and no bright or eye-catching images in your signature.
7] One post warning is enough. Should another user be found breaking any of these rules, another user may warn them of such rule-breaking, but only one other. Multiple posts regarding a user breaking a rule are excessive. Mini-modding is not necessary.
8] Three strikes, you're out. If you break the rules 3 times, you will be dismissed from the RP for a week. If, when on your return, you break the rules again, you will be dismissed from the RP permanently.

What now?

There is no over-arching plot in the Town of Thres. Whether your Trainer is running away from a problem in their life, or is looking for a place to relax. Or maybe looking for companionship--this town can be that, or maybe it won't. What happens in this town entirely depends on your character.

Think of this as a practice RP, to get your bearings in interacting with other RPers.

Age: 18

Personality:
+ Adaptable + Practical + Witty
/ Unhurried / Casual / Experimental
- Devious - Opinionated - Tactless

Quick History: Not having the ambition to tackle on the league challenge, he left Hoenn to simply travel and explore the other regions. His current stop in the Town of Thres is just a matter of chance while exploring the beaten path off of Route 5. Finding the cabins and a small community of trainers welcoming him to stay as long as he wished--as they too would do, he didn't see anything wrong with the idea, and has camped there since mid-Spring.

Passcode: Number 7. It can really bog down an RP if the people on the thread are being hard on one user for a rule-break. One person pointing out the rule-break is fine enough.

@Milquetoasty, denied for now. For the following reasons:

1] There are no Alolan Pokémon Rangers. They are from Fiore, Almia, and Oblivia; OR Hoenn, the Sevvi Islands, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos.

---

2] No Pokémon Ranger is younger than 16, so a quick search has shown me.

---

3] Her history does not explain how she arrived in Town of Thres. If anything, it shows she' may be irresponsible in not taking her role seriously as a Ranger.

---

4] Your writing is difficult to read, given that you capitalize every word. Please change that.

2] That is an interesting history, though a Dubious Disc is presumably something that would need to be analyzed using computers, or some electric-driven machine. There is no electricity in the Town of Thres for casual use, and is retained solely for medical emergencies. With this in mind, how would you re-write this history?

---

My form has been edited. The part about the Dubious Disc was something that he had studied during has time at Sinnoh, not at Town of Thres. Nonetheless, it has been edited in an attempt to make things clearer.

@TheBandedFlame, so to clarify, he has brought his own equipment--which is self-sufficient, and would not need to rely on the Town of Thres' resources? If so, then you are officially accepted into the RP.

@towoma, an interesting WIP so far. So far though.

Abigail "Abba" Navarro

Home Region:
Kalos

Appearance:
Abba is rather short, standing barely at 5'0" with a slim, slightly athletic figure. She has a naturally pale/fair complexion though her constant traveling and sun-exposure have tanned her skin to a golden color which complement her golden brown/hazel colored eyes. Her naturally dark brown hair that has been dyed platinum blonde reaches down just past her abdomen and she typically wears her hair up in a high ponytail or down with the right side pinned back with a crescent moon-shaped hairpin. She typically wears a light blue oversized sweater that reaches down just past her waist and gray thigh high boots that make her 5'0" height up to about 5'4". Pants? idk her.

Age:
eighteen

Personality:
+ Passionate | Liberal | Observant
/ Stubborn | Determined | High-spirited
- Impulsive | Petty | Blunt

Quick History:
Abba began traveling with the notion of challenging the eight gyms in Kalos in order to enter the Kalos League, but quickly found herself not enjoying them. Soon after, she found her calling in Pokemon Showcases and performing alongside her Pokemon as a whole, where in the Master Class she managed to get to the final round, though the defending Kalos Queen managed to defeat Abba, defending her title. After the loss, on a Veteran Performer's advice, Abba decided to travel abroad, first into Sinnoh and, later, into Kanto in order to give Pokemon Contests a shot. She was unable to become a Top Coordinator in Sinnoh and hopes of achieving it in Kanto. Despite this, during her travels in Kalos a previous resident of the Town of Thres suggested if she ever visited Kanto, she could wind down there for a bit as it's rather peaceful and calming which is what she's planning before the Grand Festival in Cerulean City.

@Malkins, ahhhh so close to being approved!

1] Spontaneous and impulsive, though their connotations are different, are synonyms. Could you reconsider which could be replaced?

---

Finished. I'll edit in the nicknames, movesets, levels and whatnot of the Pokémon tomorrow.

@towoma, accepted. Feel free to post in the RP when you've the time!

Username: -Ghost-

Trainer's Name: Natalia Jaune

Home Region: Kalos

Appearance:
Natalia is a slightly short girl (being around 5'2) and weights around 130 pounds. Her skin is light tan, and her hair is light brown and mostly above shoulder length. Her eyes are bright green with hazel, and have a very cheerful expression. She usually wears a long-sleeved white shirt, with green knee-length pants and high top sneakers. She also carries gray a backpack most of the time (I'll add a drawing later so I can explain myself)

Age: 16

Personality:
+ Caring, creative and curious
= Soft, dreamy and unaggressive
- Clumsy, self conscious (mainly body image) and discouraging (easily discouraged)

Quick History:
Natalia was born in Kalos, but when she was eight her family moved to the Kanto region. From a very early age she developed interest towards nature and specially Pokémon. Her first Pokémon, and current companion, was given to her by her father. It is very precious to her because of this, and also because it represents the beginning of her Pokémon adventure. That was about three years ago, since then she’s traveled all over Kanto and her goal was to get to see as many Pokémon as possible.
During her travels, Natalia heard amazing stories about “Legendary Pokémon” that reminded her about some of the things she heard in Kalos when she was younger. The last six months she dedicated herself to gather as much information as she could about these strange Pokémon. She studied legends and stories about how and where to find them and traveled to every place she thought could have something new, but ultimately she gave up. She convinced herself all those stories were just fairy tales and decided to rest for some time before going on a trip to Kalos.
Nearly two weeks ago, a friend told her about this quiet and calm place called “Town of Thres” where, he assured her, she could stay and enjoy simple life around nature. Natalia didn’t have to think too much about it, she packed her bags and went right away. She arrived to Thres only a couple days ago and is still very new to everything and everyone in town.

(As a side note, she’s still planning to go to Kalos, but it’s a long-term goal)

Title: Cassidy Danvers

Username: Leapy

Trainer's Name: Cassidy "Cass/Cassie" Danvers

Home Region: Orange Islands

Appearance: Height: 5'7", Weight: 130. Cassie has lightly tanned skin, deep red hair and bright green eyes. She is usually dressed in tan capri's with a teal band tied at the waist and a matching teal sleeve-less shirt. Short tan boots and a large tan backpack usually complete her daily outfit- give or take a teal headband.

Age: 17

Personality: +Resourceful, +Protective, +Well-Read; /High-Spirited, /Determined, /Unpredictable ; -Sarcastic, -Wishful, -Insecure,

Quick History: Cassidy's family owns and operates a shipping company that delivers potions and other medical supplies to Pokémon Centers all over the world. When her mother became sick, Cassie and her brother Camron stepped up to help out, so Cassie has had the pleasure of traveling to just about every region. While her brother only focused on large cities, she made more of an effort to reach the distant and remote centers. Recently, Cameron took full control of the company and after many arguments she started spending longer periods away from home. On one extended stay in Unova she helped Nurse Joy when a damaged egg was brought in after a horrible lightening storm. Cassie slept bundled with the egg for nights until it finally hatched into a very small Audino with odd markings- almost as if the egg had been struck by lightening.

Naming it after Joy, she partnered with the small pokemon and decided to travel to more remote healing centers in order to make sure they are well equipped for such incidents like the one involving her partner; whether making sure it was stocked with supplies from her family's company or Herbal remedies. Coming to Kanto was no different; after visiting Lavender Town she was given a crude hand-drawn map of how to reach the Town of Thres.

Main Pokémon Companion: Audino - Joy (F) Shiny*.
*Due to an accident involving her egg, Joy hatched as a shiny with small lightening shaped pale pink marks all over her body. She also has a damaged ear and is almost half the size of a normal Audino all resulting from the same incident.

Other Pokémon:
Taillow (M)
Charjabug (F)
Espeon (F)

Really hope this is okay! I can totally redo it if needed.

Username: Biolofish

Trainer's Name: Darcey Bellows
Home Region: Kalos
Appearance: Darcey is a pale skinny girl standing at 5’2” and weighing in at a whopping 118 pounds. She has white long wavy hair which is either up in a ponytail or down and large pale green eyes. Usually, she wears pale cool colors. Her wardrobe is filled with shirts too large and hiking boots. (I will eventually add a drawing for her)
Age: 18 y/o
Personality: +: Fun-loving, daring, cheerful. -: Childish, erratic, sloppy. =: Honest, insensitive, complex
Quick History: Darcey never truly had a home when she left home. This made her wander a lot in forests, usually off the path. Which doesn’t usually got well, as she is blind. Somehow she wandered into Thres and decided to stay and go with the flow.

Main Pokémon Companion: Mightyena (Lady) ((Also helps Darcey by being her seeing eye "dog"))
Other Pokémon: Swirlix (C.C), Goomy (Gelatin)

Passcode: Baked Ziti? That count?

@Biolofish, just two things I have questions about. And a minor note.

1] Why did you put your form in a spoiler?

---

2] You did not write down her weight.

---

3] If she is blind, does she have any technology or tools to help her navigate her surroundings safely? And it is a minute concern that you wrote down a negative trait for her being "sloppy". Is that a result of her disability, or is it unrelated to her disability?
