Pokémon | Downpour Despair (wip)
Forum-Index → Roleplay → RP Sign-up → Pokémon | Downpour Despair (wip)After a series of tremors - sourced from somewhere within Mt. Hageshī - shake the Tennokai region, its residents suddenly find themselves stranded, shrouded by a violent storm and an everlasting downpour, which has made travelling of any sort unsafe. Because of this, people have been advised to stay put in the safety of their homes, leaving only to collect essentials if necessary. It also meant that new trainers have been unable to collect their starters and begin their journies.
Furthermore, the Pokémon League Challenge has also been postponed, temporarily, until the bizarre weather passes, causing gyms all over the shut their doors and even the evacuation of the Elite 4 members from the Pokémon League. Well - all but the current Champion who, stubbornly, refused to leave her work, opting to stay behind instead to take care of the place.
It's been a week since. There's been no word from the Champion and the storm remains persistent, causing devastating flooding in many areas of the region. If things couldn't get any worse, a group proclaiming themselves to be members of 'Team Tempest' have suddenly begun showing up in towns, terrorising the people and forcefully taking their Pokémon. But for what reason?

Character Name: Arashi Toba
Age: 21
Gender, Pronouns: Female, She/Her
Appearance
Arashi considers herself fairly tall, standing at around 1.72m (5'8") in her high-heeled boots, with a slender build, 52kgs (115lbs). Her pale-gold eyes are framed by thick lashes, whilst her feather-soft hair is silver, almost white, and smells faintly of vanilla. Contrasting with her charcoal black outfit, her skin is smooth and milk-white. If not already obvious, her dress was designed to resemble that of a bird, likely her Honchkrow, with black wing-like details hugging her waist and collar. Additionally, Arashi has a matching headpiece, plus gloves. Her boots are knee-high, the heels giving her a couple of inches on top of her actual height, which she feels is not important to announce. It may seem like an impractical outfit - it really is - but she's no longer your average trainer running around in the wild.
Personality:
ISTJ | 6w5
"What... was that saying..? Calm before the storm?"
Arashi, aka "Storm Rider", is the current reigning champion of the Tennokai Region, who specialises in dark-type Pokémon. Her peers that stand beside her in the league, would probably describe her as a bit of a mystery, whose actions tend to be as unpredictable as the weather, but someone whose good mood should be taken advantage of. Challengers of her region, on the other hand, know "The Storm Rider" for the brutal battles she holds up. As a person who defends her title viciously, she wrings out every last drop of hard work that each trainer has to offer her.
Thus, whilst Arashi may seem completely untroubled on the outside, there's really no telling what may be brewing in her mind. Arashi as herself, rather than "Storm Rider", is a rather awkward person. Since becoming her region's leader, a casual social life has been pretty non-existent, usually resorting to just staying behind in the palace her region's league is set in unless needing to meet with others for business. Travelling as a teen was lonely as others avoided being around for too long because her partner, the Murkrow, was considered to be 'unlucky'. On many occasions did Arashi consider releasing the Pokémon, but would eventually decide against it. Somewhere deep down, Arashi cares and has a lot of love to give, she just is unsure of how to express it.

If one utters a deep cry, many MURKROW gather quickly. For this, it is called “Summoner of Night.”
Honchkrow | Gender: Male
Species: Big Boss Pokémon | Height: 0.9 m (2′11″) | Weight: 27.3 kg (60.2 lbs)
Ability: Moxie | Nature: Adamant | Held Item: Muscle Band
Aerial Ace | Haze | Superpower | Night Slash
Obtained many years ago as a sick and injured MURKROW that passersby had ignored out of arrogance and superstition. Now the Champion of the Tennokai Region, HONCHKROW remains Arashi’s partner, and often gives her small, shiny gifts of gratitude to this day. He’s not fond of many other people - if any - but will settle to tolerate them in return for a shiny token or a spicy flavoured treat.
Every time ABSOL appears before people, it is followed by a disaster such as an earthquake or a tidal wave. As a result, it came to be known as the disaster Pokémon.
Absol | Gender: Female
Species: Disaster Pokémon | Height: 1.2 m (3′11″) | Weight: 47.0 kg (103.6 lbs)
Ability: Super Luck/Magic Bounce | Nature: Lonely | Held Item: Absolite
Knock Off | Night Slash | Future Sight | Thunder
It took Arashi a long time to gain the trust of, and repair the severe anxiety that had been planted into the Pokémon. The ABSOL had been given to her as a gift by a trainer who had abused the Pokémon so much, as punishment for the 'misfortune' that it was thought to have brought upon them, that they could no longer control it and had been close to releasing it. Absol is now one of Arashi's most loyal team members and enjoys spending evenings cuddling and being groomed by Arashi.
SABLEYE lead quiet lives deep inside caverns. They are feared, however, because these POKéMON are thought to steal the spirits of people when their eyes burn with a sinister glow in the darkness.
Sableye | Gender: Male
Species: Darkness Pokémon | Height: 0.5 m (1′08″) | Weight: 59.6 kg (131.4 lbs)
Ability: Prankster | Nature: Careful | Held Item: Bright Powder
Fake Out | Will-O-Wisp | Power Gem | Shadow Ball
Arashi caught the SABLEYE whilst travelling in her younger years, relieving a team of miners from the trickster's pranks. It's fair to say that the Pokémon hasn't changed a bit, and will often wander the halls of the Pokémon League, being a nuisance to Arashi's peers and any unexpecting challengers. It appears to find joy in the spooked reactions of others.
SHIFTRY’s large fans generate awesome gusts of wind at a speed close to 100 feet per second. The whipped-up wind blows anything away. This Pokémon chooses to live quietly deep in forests.
Shiftry | Gender: Male
Species: Wicked Pokémon | Height: 1.3 m (4′03″) | Weight: 59.6 kg (131.4 lbs)
Ability: Chlorophyll | Nature: Hasty | Held Item: Life Orb
Knock Off | Leaf Storm | Hurricane | Explosion
info.
DRAPION’S poison is potent, but it rarely sees use. This Pokémon prefers to use physical force instead, going on rampages with its car-crushing strength.
Drapion | Gender: Male
Species: Ogre Scorp Pokémon | Height: 1.3 m (4′03″) | Weight: 61.5 kg (135.6 lbs)
Ability: Battle Armor | Nature: Jolly | Held Item: Black Sludge

info.
TYRANITAR is so overwhelmingly powerful, it can bring down a whole mountain to make its nest. This Pokémon wanders about in mountains seeking new opponents to fight.

The structure is frequently enjoyed as a playground by wild Aipom, and whilst they don't mean any harm, they can sometimes be a little troublesome.

Shinonome Ranch { north of Jimejime Town }
- a small yet hardworking farming community that raise everything from tiny Combees to powerful Bouffalants, as well as care for acres of berry fields, which are open all-year-round for everyone - and wild Pokémon - to help themselves, respectfully. It's also home to a cafe that sells an award-winning milkshake made from the Moomoo milk harvested there.

plot note: The Team Tempest grunt is cornered by an agitated Herdier and Mightyena, after being found hiding within the berry field. Upon being discovered, outnumbered, the grunt drops the stolen Pokémon and flees once more. The group is met by Reggie: the Gym Leader of Shinonome Ranch. He, jokingly, offers his help to clear the blocked route, if the trainers are able to beat him in a battle. After beating him, he offers them a bed for the night, with free food and milkshakes at the cafe. Blakely later disappears and returns the Combee. Bee can be found the next day waiting at Route 3, rewarding the group with her Gym Badge for helping her.

plot note: Reaching the end of route 3, the entrance to Mt. Kumotto is blocked by Team Tempest grunts who challenge the trainers to a battle. The battle ends, waking up a Miner resting in the nearby cabin. He describes that similar looking people had run off with his tools a couple of days ago, but it had been too foggy in the mountain, so he was unable to pursue them. After clarifying that he doesn't need the tools and that the group could keep them if found, he wishes them luck before returning to the cabin.

tba - I'll continue to add when I'm free from work, bc I somehow thought this would be a good idea despite having shifts everyday for the next 8 days-
also, I've only added 'mons upto the Kalos dex, primarily bc I underestimated how difficult deciding encounters would be -
so, if there's any pokemon you think that should be added to a specific environment - that isn't already there - lmk and I'll consider adding it

Character Name:
Regan Rose
Age:
20
Gender, Pronouns:
Female She/Her
Appearance:
Regan is a tall, slim woman with pale skin, green eyes, and hair that is strawberry blonde in color, hanging just passed her shoulders. She is described to have a graceful gait, and a fiery sparkle in her eye, amplified when faced with the adrenaline of battle. She wears a white, rather short dress with sparkling white tights underneath, all lined with gold, giving her a burning look in the light. She wears light grey shoes and matching gloves as well.
Personality:
Regan is generally a decent person, caring deeply for her pokemon. Albeit with a very short, fiery temper and strict training style and schedule that makes her choice to main the fire type very fitting. She doesn't have the greatest social skills, or much care for the emotions of others. If she thinks someone an idiot, she'll tell them how it is, with no regards to their ego. She also does not take too kindly to being intimidated, and will stubbornly defend herself from anyone if she feels it necessary.
Other:
Her Ninetales(Riko) is precious and none shall touch. She can speak to Riko and no other pokemon. Riko can translate the other team members

Character Name:
Song BingLiu
Age:
19
Gender, Pronouns:
Male leaning Agender [He/Him, They/Them]
Appearance:
Among the crowd, Song BingLiu cuts an elegant figure. Tall and graceful, you would be forgiven for thinking that he's an ethereal being walking the earth with cascading locks of silky hair pinned up in a half ponytail and wide sparkling olive eyes to match. His hair often changes colour with how much he dyes it but for some reason it is surprisingly healthy. There are laughter lines etched into his face and smatterings of freckles lining them. He loves fashion and places emphasis and great care in what he wears. Most of the time his apparel is a mix between street punk and cottage core, a weird combination for sure but he pulls it off somehow.
Personality:
ISFJ - The Defender| 2w1 - The Companion
Just like the element he has mastered, Song BongLiu is full of cheer and energy. There's seemingly nothing that can wipe a smile off his face, always ready to face challengers with the brightest grin and a whole lot of enthusiasm. But above all, he has a heart that is much too big for his body. He gives and gives and expects nothing in return, simply content with seeing other's happiness. He hungers for knowledge above all else, striving to learn as much as he can about the world and people around him. He loved, and loves, and looses himself
Other:
Lynxie is his signature Pokemon
He is known to abuse Volt Switch and set traps, utilizing status effects and restricting movement. He is notoriously a pain to beat but the downside is that his pokemon can be easily taken out if one strategize correctly
When not
When asked to describe him, people always answer thusly: He's sunny weather personified
Team
Species Shiny Luxray | Nickname: Lynxie | Gender: Male
Ability: Guts | Nature: Jolly | Held Item: Flame Orb
Wild Charge | Facade | Volt Switch | Superpower
His very first pokemon. Perhaps it was luck that a brilliant gold Shinx attached himself to Song BingLiu so quickly, but with the latter growing up within a breeding daycare, it wasn't all that surprising. Lynxie is Song BingLiu's confidant, his best friend, his partner. There is nothing that will separate them and they have utmost trust in one another.
Species Magnezone | Nickname: YuShi | Gender: Female
Ability: Analytic | Nature: Modest | Held Item: Choice Specs
Volt Switch | Thunderbolt | Flash Cannon | Hidden Power: Fire
Holding down the role as the main attacker, YuShi is vicious in combat but is the sweetest doting mother once the last pokemon is knocked out. She acts as secondary transportation, carrying Song BingLiu around when Lynxie can't or when heavy cargo must be ferried. She doesn't like this job but still does it with pride
Species Electrivire | Nickname: MinJue | Gender: Male
Ability: Motor Drive | Nature: Jolly | Held Item: Life Orb
Wild Charge | Ice Punch | Cross Chop | Earthquake
The only pokemon on his competitive team that doesn't know Volt Switch. When Song BingLiu pulls MinJue out, challengers know that they're in for a world of pain. He serves as the anchor of the team, both in and out of battle, his jolly nature giving a much needed moodlift. The only thing stronger than his Ice Punch are his Punch Lines
Species Lanturn | Nickname: HeXuan | Gender: Male
Ability: Volt Absorb | Nature: Calm | Held Item: Leftovers
Scald | Ice Beam | Thunder Wave | Volt Switch
Song BingLiu's aquatic transport, HeXuan never usually lingers on the battlefield. Her role is to stun enemies and afflict status ailments before quickly retreating, calm under the immense pressure such a position holds. He's heard that another Elite Four has a Lanturn as well but has never felt compelled to meet her
Species Gavantula | Nickname: XuanJi | Gender: Female
Ability: Compound Eyes | Nature: Timid | Held Item: Life Orb
Sticky Web | Bug Buzz | Volt Switch | Thunder
Every battle against Song BingLiu starts out with XuanJi, the Gavantula laying down Sticky Web. She is a trap setter and sweeps unsuspecting teams that have come unprepared. Despite her vicious battling, she is very shy and always worries that she goes overboard. She is very close with YuShi
Species Raichu | Nickname: MingYang | Gender: Female
Ability: Static | Nature: Timid | Held Item: Focus Sash
Encore | Fake Out | Thunderbolt | Volt Switch
MingYang was his second pokemon and another resident of Song BingLiu's daycare family business. She is yet another trap setter though in the beginning she had used status ailments to chip away at the opponents health. Her role changed after she expressed uncertainty of being on the field and is now much more comfortable trapping opponents within Encore before switching out

reserving ice type elite four?
possible change to flying?
@Perish-Song - All seems fine ! I'll add you to the main post once I get a chance !
@Aethernyx - whilst I was going to have the champion be flying-typed, if you would prefer flying, that's fine !
Give the thread a bump once you've finished your form !
I'll either make the champion dark or just mixed typing instead - trying to base the league off of different types of storms, if that clears anything up about the typings ^^"
