After the End (ended, due to inactivity)

Thank you to everyone who participated in my first role-play. It had a good run, surviving the death of the forums. Should we have continued, the world would have been saved, the pokemon in the PC system had been saved by Arceus, and the world would have started to rebuild, now that it was no longer suffering from the inbalance cause by the death of so many legendary pokemon.

_______________________________________________________________

It is a dark, ruined, and hopeless world. After a battle between legendary Pokemon, the world was destroyed, and the once forest-covered continent of Kanto was split into many Island Wastelands. Human and Pokemon casualties were insurmountable, with only a few hundred thousand humans left, and the number of known living Pokemon species reduced to around 200. Most cities and towns were destroyed, and their toxins leaked into the ocean, poisoning it, killing most ocean dwelling Pokemon as a result. Most ships were destroyed, and only a few known vessels remain in existence. FLYing from place to place is unthinkable, as the airs above are unbreathable and storms rage in the sky. Yet one hope remains for the people of this bleak world. The rumour, perhaps little more that a tale to give children hope, that on the separated Johto continent, lives a clone of the live-giver, Mew, that can restore life to this world. a Small group has found this clone, and now seek to restore life to the world.

The PC System was thrown into disarray, and it is unknown what happened to all the Pokemon being stored as data on it.

Poke Balls are rare, and fetch a high price, up to thousands for a simple Poke’ball. Apricorn-Ball makers are a dying trade, but one that is highly valued; however, even finding a suitable Apricorn is difficult as it is, let alone finding someone to make it into a Poke Ball. Medicine is even rarer, and the surviving equipment from Pokemon Centers are often a point of contest in towns, as larger companies, still seeking to profit from suffering, charge heavy fees for their use.

These Events take place just over a year after the end of the world.

The shape of the land:

In Kanto, the continent has split into four main islands, with several smaller ones in-between. Saffron and Lavender have sunk beneath the ocean, although the top of Pokemon Tower remains visible, and if it were possible to land and fly on it, it could be visited. The surviving peoples of those towns fled to Celadon City, now Celadon town, which is regarded by many as the safest place, the one most similar to the world before it ended. Erica, the former Gym Leader, has taken role of the leader of this community, and is trying to make the world green again, but the plants seem to have lost their will to live. The land it is on, a long winding island, is the second largest body of land.

Mt. Moon was destroyed in the apocalypse and levelled much of Pewter, but made travel to Celadon much easier. The people of Pallet Town, Viridian City, and the survivors of Pewter came together to form a new town, “Sepia”. Soon afterwards, the people of Cerulean came to join the town as well after being terrorized by the Pokemon of the Unknown Dungeon. Victory road and all areas connecting to the Indigo Plateau have sunk under the ocean. This island is the largest land mass, with the largest number of Pokemon species, but the least diverse.

Vermillion City has separated from the rest of the land, and is now an island called Vermillion Island. It is rumoured to be under Martial law, under the rule of Lt. Surge, but no news has come from the city in a long time, and all ships that went to investigate were never heard from again.

Cinnabar Island is largely unchanged, other than the Pokemon mansion becoming a place of residence for the Island’s population.

Johto is a sort of Island, with a 5 badge pokemon league, with Lance being the only trainer that needs to be defeated to become a Champion.

Sinnoh was completly destroyed, and is now two mountains, twisting around one another, into the sky.


Goal:
To Convince the clone of mew to help us, and bring life to the world

Rules of the role-play:
-No ownership of Legendary Pokemon,
-The Pokemon you list are the only ones you have access to, as the PC system is a wreck, and inaccessible.
- Nobody should just ‘have access to’ any of the following: ships, airplanes, or any other mode of transportation, besides foot.
-Have fun
-Be creative.
-People who do not Post, or are uninvolved will be written out.
-More than 6 people are allowed, but only six will be allowed to be the main group. Anyone else is only allowed to be a side player. If a member should leave the group, another will be accepted. In this way, I hope that many types of people will be seen in this world.
- Contributors that seriously contradict the state of this world, will be Personal Messaged, and asked to remove or edit the post, but this will not be required, if it is explained well enough. This goes back to the “be creative”.
- I discourage “God Mode”.



Required Info: (And mine, additionally)


Name: Meredith Alliniere

Age: 17

Some Info & History:
Before the Split, Meredith worked as a Health Care Aide, and as such, has a great knowledge of both Human and Pokemon medical care, though her knowledge of the human body is much greater. She is not a doctor, but paid enough attention that she could have done the job. She lived in a wood cabin on the shoreline several miles south of Celadon in a state of shock, spending all her waking time either staring at the ocean beneath her, or caring for the travelers who wander into her home and need help. She barely spoke, looking at the ground, and seemed barely aware of the world around her.Those who have stayed long enough in her care know she has a very loving nature. She had food brought to her home once a week by a man from Celadon. Then Beryl came. Something about him reached into the girl, and pulled her out of the pit of depression. She gathered all her plans together, and left, seeking the Mew clone. With the determination of all her new friends, she hopes to bring life to the world. She has learned of her parents death, and it nearly brought her back into depression, but she is holding off the tears until their mission is done. Beryl has become very close to her heart, and has in a way, filled the void her parents left. She wears a pair of blue jeans, and a plain white muscle shirt. She is in shape, but not overly muscular. Her eyes are sunken and empty, and her shoulder length blonde hair seems to be fading, as does her whole existence, but she retains the look of once being very beautiful.


Pokemon:
A Ditto, named: “Blip”<Ultra ball>. Blip came across Meredith shortly after the end of the world, and hung around simply because she knew Meredith needed a friend. Blip is basically a small child, with no tact, and would wouldn't believe that she was ever what you would call "shy". She affectionatly calls Meredith "Merry" and loves her trainer very much. She is very fond of annoying anyone, and uses her powers of transformation to do so. She is fond of Thorn.

Male Scizor, with no nickname. <Poke ball> As a Scyther, he lived in Saffron, owned by a mobster before the end of the world. His owner would constantly ask him if those he was about to kill deserved to die, giving him the choice of saving many, many lives. Fearing for his own life, Scizor said no, every time, fearing the gun would be turned on him. Eventually, He was traded away, and evolved, and was abandoned to the streets. During the split, he came across a young couple, Cal's parents, and failed to save their lives. His soul is in a state of constant turmoil, and he eventually wound up amoung a shelter for disowned pokemon in Celadon, where, after some time, he was found by Meredith. He acts as a scout, a fighter, and a sort of "disciplinarian" for the other pokemon. He speaks with an olde english sort of voice, using terms such as "Sir" and "Lady" to refer to people. After much training, he has learned to move almost as fast as he did as a Scyther.

Female Quilava, no nickname. <Pokeball>. Quilava is sort of a mature teenager. As a Cyndaquil, She was Meredith's starter, and the only pokemon she kept after she stopped training. During the end of the world, her pokeball was knocked into the poisonous ocean, and after a year, it was retrieved. She evolved shortly after.Meredith feels like Quilava is a sort of sister to her.

Male Lapras <Masterball>. Given as a prize of sorts to Meredith, Lapras feels like a king, and feels very indignant about being used only as transport.

Special Skills: Medical skills, and an ability to make others feel safer with her very presence.

Re: After the End

Name: Thorn (can't remember last name, did I even have one?)
Age: 11
Some Info & History: Thorn was quite a happy-go-lucky girl before the world was destroyed, and dedicated all her spare time to studying Pokemon. Now, however, she is only concentrated on saving Pokemon, and humans.
Pokemon: Swirl M
Cloud (shiny) F
Claw F
Blaze M
Magma M
An unknown Skarmory that is not really hers, but she found her dying in the lake. Just wanted people to remember her, as she has so far been of no significance.
Special Skills: Thorn has great knowledge of Pokemon and their abilities.

Re: After the End

I wasn't part of the original, can I still join?

Re: After the End

Hmm... Make a form, and I'll PM you when it seems possible. See, When the forums shut down, we were on an island inhabited only by Mewtwo and his clones, so it's not really possible for you to show up right now. But if the submission is good enough, then i'll tell you when you can join in. Sorry, just, it doesn't make sense for you to fall from nowhere into the RP.

Re: After the End

Name: Beryl Evolius
Appearance: He has light green hair that descends below and around his shoulders and curls in front of his face. He has two red barrettes in his hair to keep it back out of his brown eyes a bit, but it still manages to stay there. Beryl also wears a too-big white dress shirt and brown pants, over which he has a green apron, which tends to make people think of him as an overgrown Kirlia.
Age: 16
Some Info & History: Beryl's family bred Eevees for a living, so most of his Pokemon are Eeveelutions. He enjoyed a life of luxury and happiness with his Pokemon until the end of the world. He parents and almost all of the Pokemon had died, so, after picking himself out of the rubble of Celadon city, he sold the some of the remaining Eevees and their evolutions for money, then began to make his way in the world. Because of the sixteen years he spent becoming a breeder, he can treat canine and some feline Pokemon almost as well as a veterinarian, but his knowledge of the real world is still pitifully lacking due to being so sheltered.
Pokemon:
Calydon the male Glaceon: Calydon is a well-mannered Ice-type who is typically serious, but extremely devoted to both Beryl and his mate, Atalanta. He was given to his master on said boy's sixth birthday as a kit and evolved when all three were on a tour through Sinnoh back when the world was all right.

Atalanta the female Leafeon: Atalanta is just as regal as Calydon is, but stands up for what she wants when she feels the need. She was also a gift to Beryl on sixth birthday and also evolved while the three were in Sinnoh with her master's parents.

Ferien: An inquisitive, outgoing baby Ralts. Beryl found its egg in the woods and carried it around until it hatched in Celadon City.

Parthenopaeus (Parth for short): The first child of Atalanta and Calydon. He is very shy, like his father, but seems to have made fast friends with Ferien.

Jupiter: This tall, scarred Jolteon is not Beryl's Pokemon but his dead father's. He cannot control Jupiter, but is keeping him out of the Poke Ball for now so that he can move past the disaster that took his wife and most of his children. When Beryl's parents were alive, he competed in gym challenges across the world.

Special Skills: Beryl can understand Pokemon of the 'Ground' breeding group that are relatively canine as though they were having a conversation thanks to his upbringing (it was part of his education).

Re: After the End

Aww, but I love falling from nowhere! :D I'll make one out anywho...

Name: Jeremiah Teresh
Age: 16
History: Jeremiah was born to parents who died only moments after he was born. He was taken in by a nurse at the hospital he was born at, but she was killed during the war when Jeremiah was 8. He soon resorted to stealing Poke Balls and food to live. In this circumstance, many other people would have easily gone into a state of depression, but Jeremiah didn't, because he knew he wouldn't have survived. After the End of the World, he lost a few of his Pokemon, and was in a situation in which he thought that he was the last human on earth for a few weeks, before finding the remains of Pallet Town.
Jeremiah is very stubborn but has a great sense of humor. He tends to be very optimistic.
Jeremiah is six feet tall and has spiky brown hair. He always wears a black long-sleeve shirt underneath a dark blue t-shirt with the word "Survive" written on it. He has a cowboy hat that he usually wears. He is slightly muscular.
Pokemon:
Rocky Lv. 45 Rocky was one of the two Pokemon that Jeremiah was able to keep through the end of the world. He and Jeremiah have a close bond, and Rocky shares most of Jeremiah's likes and dislikes.
Goddess Lv 41 Goddess was the other Pokemon to survive the end of the world with Jeremiah. She loves to battle, however unlike Rocky she will openly disagree with Jeremiah and often has different opinions than him. She still shares a bond with him.
Merlin Lv 11 Merlin was found as a baby shortly after the end of the world with no parents or anyone to take care of him. Jeremiah took him in and made him a part of his team.
Special Skills: Jeremiah is very intelligent.

Re: After the End

YAY!!!

Name: Cal Startouch

Age: 13

Some Info & History:

He was born to loving parents in Saffron City and was cared and protected all through his childhood. On his tenth birthday, his parents gave him a Smeargle, which he named Pablo, and he set off on his Pokémon adventure. He caught a young Spheal, who he named Balloon, along the way and cared for them as much as he could. Over his first few years as a trainer he regularly visited his parents about once a month.

Then came the split.

Saffron was destroyed. He had no idea what had happened to his parents - but recently found out that they were killed - and ahd nowhere to live. He roamed Celadon for a while, and found a homeless Eevee and took her into his care. She soon evolved into an Espeon.

Cal soon came to Meredith's cottage. He was allowed the stay there, and made close friends with Meredith and Beryl. One day he followed Smile and Pablo down to the beach where they found four other Spheals, lost and confused. Cal decidded to take them into hsi care, and named them Smile, Star, Tiny and Bouncy.

At another point in his stay the group went to Celdaon, where Pablo was attacked by a vicious Houndoom. Pablo managed to escape - narrowly - and Cal, using one of his newly bought Pokéballs, captured the hellhound.

On the trip to Johto to find Mewtwo, Serena lead the way by asking the Sun for directions. The Sun also told her what sort of a state the regions were in, much to Meredith's horror.

Soon they arrived in New Bark Town, and Serena received a much more intense vision, pinpointing exactly where Mewtwo was - deep under an island in the middle of the giant Lake that Johto surrounded. The group crossed to the island, which they found to be a seemingly untouched Paradise, and encountered Mewtwo various times, but so far the cloned Pokémon has made no sign of wanting to help.

Cal is rather caring and friendly, but has a terrible temper. He instinctively tries to care for small creatures, like Spheal, but sometimes he can let his guard down while doing so.

He is currently wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt with a broad red stripe on the sleeves and stomach along with a pair of simple jeans. He has untidy light-blonde hair which now almost reaches his shoulders. His eyes are light blue.

Pokemon:

Pablo is a male Smeargle. He loves drawing and painting things and is very creative. He sometimes annoys the others by painting on them. He has gathered various moves by Sketching, such as Transform, Protect, Flamethrower and Zap Cannon.

Serena is a female Espeon. For her first year under Cal's trainership, she never wanted to be near him, seeing him as a stupid, ignorant child who didn't know the difference between a Plusle and a Minun. After a while, though, she began to grow much more protecting and loyal to him, and now stays with him nearly everywhere she goes. Just before the split she had a baby who was a Shiny Eevee, but has not seen him since the split, when she told him to run and save himself. She can communicate with the Sun and sometimes has long-winded conversations with Her, either asking for directions to a certain place or asking how the weather is going to be.

Balloon, Smile, Tiny, Bouncy and Star are all Spheals. They are optimistic and a little bit silly, always rolling around and barking randomly, hardly paying attention to what is going on. the last four are named so because of their appearance: Smile has an even larger grin than average, Tiny is, obviously, very small, even for a Spheal - he's probably a baby -, Bouncy, when still, bobs up and down on his flippers a lot and Star has a star-shaped marking on her back.

Houndoom is male. Cal found him in Celadon attacking Pablo, but the boy caught him. Houndoom has made various attempts to eat the Spheal, but Meredith's Scizor had trained the five to defend thsemselves and Cal has since warned him of being disowned and sent away from the group if he tries it again. Of course, he'd rather not risk having a ca\ring trainer and frequent food for just a few small morsels that wouldn't last very long anyway.

Special Skills: After so much exposure to Serena, Cal has developed minor psychic abilities, even though he is not aware of them. He can sense when someone is nearby and can sometimes tell the time by just glancing at the sun.


...Is that too much?

Re: After the End

Thats just perfect. I'll probably update mine as time go's on, and just inform people when I do so.
You are all re/accepted. Blaziking, I'll PM you when you can join in.

Re: After the End

Okay! ^^ Thanks!

Re: After the End

(( Has whoever was playing Staro (Sisaphen, or something) signed back up?))

Re: After the End

((No idea. I think it was Sisyphaen.))

Re: After the End

Get it right! It was Sisyphaean. Sorry for me taking so long, I had trouble remembering my profile.Anyway...

Name: Staro

Species: Kadabra

Age: Kadabra equivalent of 25; technically 27 years old.

Info and history: For several years, Staro used to have a caring trainer, and journeyed with him, helping him collect gym badges, making himself stronger, enjoying the company of his fellow teammates.

Then one day, this world came crashing down around him, leaving only a desolate Psychic in its wake.

The split happened.
He doesn't remember much about what happened, only that they were traveling across Silence Bridge and he was behind them for some reason or another. The ensuing destruction caused by the split made his Teleport unusable, and so by the time he made it to the bridge, it had already been reduced to floating pieces of driftwood being sucked into a whirlpool. In one fell swoop, everyone he had known had been erased from existence. Although a Fearow that Staro knew was in the PC Box system, the chances of his survival are bleak.

Staro never really recovered after that, and always had a nagging doubt that perhaps he could've done something to save them, that perhaps he had been a little too slow in acting. That was pushed to the back of his mind, however, in light of a harsh new reality, one of scarcity and starvation. He soon turned to the murkier side of things, using his psychic abilities to rob people of their money and essentials.

He was doing so to an unconscious group of of the Night Patrol when, on a whim, he decided to follow those that had conked them out, following their teleportive signature.

That was how he came to meet Meredith and the others. Their mission, their hope of finding the clone of the life-giver, gave him, in turn, new drive, a goal to strive towards. He gladly assisted them in their journey to Johto, using Safegurad to protect their ride across the corrosive sea. He later healed a wounded Skarmory that Thorn had found floating in the water. when the clone turned them aside, Staro was crushed, but is not ready to give up just yet.

Staro tries to maintain a calm and neutral persona, but beneath that he is struggling with his guilt of all those times he stole from people. In an attempt to make up for it, he tries to be helpful at every junction, offering healing and the like.

Special Abilities: Staro has an excellent sense of intuition, and was trained in his trainer days to refine his Recover to treat worse wounds than usual and even to cure minor infections.

There! Is that all right?

Re: After the End

((Perfect! let's get this show on the road!))

Mewtwo pondered the humans. The boy and the girl who seemed to be his mate, and the younger boy, from whom, he had recentally felt a pain, one of extreme loss come from him. The many pokemon with them... too many to pick up emotions, but it seemed almost all of them, all but the young ones, had lost someone. He floated amoung them, watching, hiding his presence to them. He did not bother himself with the pokemon, unless they happened to directly cross his path.
"Beryl!!" Meredith ran and hugged him, knocking him to the ground and laughing, at his suprise, doing so for no other reason than it was fun.
"Don't annoy the Sandslash! Quilava watched over the children, Parth and Ferien.
"Sir... I... I don't know what else to say."Scizor stood by Cal, feeling sorry, responsible.
"Pidgeot, Nidoqueen, Gyaradooooooss!" Blip played, and transformed rapidly from shape to shape, sometimes flying, or digging, or swimming. It was impossible to keep track of her.
Mewtwo watched... and realized they were good. But... Could he help them? He floated to Beryl, and made himself visible.
<Human... Gather everyone you have brought here together... I think... I can help you fix this mess of a world> The voice was in Beryl's mind, going beyond words, making any difficulty understanding Pokemon speech irrelevant.

Re: After the End

Beryl's eyes flashed with happiness, instinctively knowing the source of the voice. "Hey, everyone! Gather round! The legendary wants to speak!" he shouted. Ferien and Parth obediently came close, causing the human to stare. "When did you guys get back? But it doesn't matter, come on guys, wait, where is Cal?" he asked. His hand stayed in Meredith's as he talked, holding protectively to her smaller appendage.

Re: After the End

Meredith squeezed Beryl's hand, someone afraid, somewhat excited, a jumble of emotions that caused her to shake and smile.
"Scizor and Serena went off with him.. I think they were near a cliff. I haven't seen Staro since we got here. Or Thorn. Hehehehe, stop it!"
Quilava had jumped onto Meredith's shoulder, and was now nuzzling against her long-time friend.

Re: After the End

Cal haedr Beryl, and took one last moment to stare up at the sky. He wiped his sleeve across his eyes, sniffed and turned, running off towards the group with whom he could see the muscular, feline legendary. Serena bounded after him, jumping from the floor up to his shoulder with the grace of a Milotic and the Spheal popped out from wherever it was that they had been to crowd around their trainer happily.

Pablo, who had been sitting in a tree painting, climbed down to listen to the legendary too. Houndoom was the only indifferent one. He sat a distance away from the others in a dignified way, looking in a completely different direction. Small jets of flame erupted from his nostrils as he breathed.

Cal looked at Beryl and Meredith and smiled weakly. Was this it? Were they finally going to receive the power to fix the world?

Re: After the End

"I'm right here!" shouted Thorn, when she heard her name. "I'm just looking for Cloud. Have you seen her anywhere?"

Re: After the End

Meredith shook her head.
" I haven't seen her. Try around with the other flying pokemon, I bet it's been a while since she's seen others. Look for Blip and Scizor too, they haven't come back yet."

Re: After the End

Staro's ears pricked at the sound of Beryl's voice. Judging by the tone that he spoke in, it was likely important.

Possibly... Something to do with the clone? Maybe it has changed its mind? Immediately, he teleported to Beryl's side, hoping against hope that there would be good news. This was the last possibility for the world to be healed.

Re: After the End

The group had finally gathered. Everyone was together. The clone was looking into the sky, almost mournfully.
<In order to understand... you should see what is happening to our world.. and why..>

Mewtwo focused unto the memory of the time, a year ago. He showed the memories to all present, and they were as if they were showing throuhg Mewtwo's eyes. But not only that, it was as if the universe was visable to them. They could watch themselves watching this. Watch themselves watching themselves watching themselves watching themselves. It was mindboggling. They saw, the world as it was a year ago, beautiful, the oceans still blue. Then, a disturbance. Flashes of light as sound, clips of memories... The Legendary birds of Kanto, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, attacking the Beasts of Johto, their masters, Lugia and Ho-oH joining in the fight. It spiraled out of control... Until it seemed every legendary in the world has gathered for this battle. Floating through the air, Mewtwo blasted Groudon, shielded himself from a Hyper Beam from Rayquaza, dodged a Sacred Fire from Ho-Oh... Sinnoh was being torn apart, pieces of the land rising, as their powers became too much. Celebie from all across time swarmed the sky, attacking with all sorts of moves, from lighting bolts, to strange punches. Then, the first victim. Regice, as Hetran smashed through it's body. Then Shaymin, as a herd of Latios pelted is with psychic assults. Lugia and Ho-oH wre smashing against one another... It seemed like Mewtwo was only defending himself... until, out of the corner of it's eye... a small, cat-like pokemon fell to the ground, it's mind thought no more.. Mew was dead. The battle was destorying Sinnoh. The legendaries had disturbed the balance too much, and the groud around them, was twisting, villages, whole cities vanishing. Again and again, pokemon fell, and in the span of half an hour, the battle was over, and the world was as if a giant had smashed a hammer the size of the moon unto Sinnoh. Two pillars rose into the sky, all the energy from the battle twisting, and gathering at the top, where they met.They battled, forgetting even why it started, until all that remained was Mewtwo... standing amound countless bodies... They were all dead... the Huge snakelike body of Rayquaza had holes blasted through it... Zapdos was burnt to a crisp, unrecognizable. Mewtwo stood alone, holding the body of the pokemon from which it was created.


< I buried Mew... That is what happened to your world... We, who balanced it... We took advantage of our own power. No humans corrupted us. And because of our actions... even I do not know what can be done for your world. This place, my island... It grows only because I live here. By my powers are not enough... and even if I could... Without another Shaymin, or Groudon, or Azelf, the world with never be the same. It is why plants will not grow, why all are depressed... because the being that cause those things are gone.. and only one force could make them again.>


Meredith was holding herself as tightly as possble to Beryl, disturbed by the images she has seen... frighted by the power of the Legendary pokemon.
