Open Against All Odds

Scyther

i write erotic novels. for children.
One dreary, rainy afternoon, when everyone was copped up inside, a telecast was emitted from Goldenrod Broadcast Station that overrided whatever television program one would happen to be watching. It was rather dark; as in you really couldn’t tell who the person broadcasting was, but you could tell if there was movement going on.

The person, whoever it was, had a voice that sounded as if it belonged to a man, although being in a hushed voice.

“Everyone,” he began, “Hoenn has won the Johto-Kanto war. The government has fallen. Everything will change. Pokemorphs, leave the country, go into hiding, I don’t care just get away from here. Everyone else..,” he paused, “just be aware that this is a battle you cannot win.”

A thud could be heard, then the television went all fuzzy and another deep voice boomed.

“You heard him.” The voice said, sadistically.

Then the regular program resumed, as if nothing had happened.

And so it began. At first, people had assumed it was a hoax, but by the next day, with various important people gone, and Pokemorphs randomly disappearing for ‘questioning’, it was obvious it was not. Civilians, Pokemorphs, and Pokèmon trainers alike began to move, to support, to hide…

…Or to fight.



Welcome to my Pokèmon RP, Against All Odds. I’d simply like to state it isn’t to much like the RP As Darkness Falls, the Rp I learned off of.

So there are some, uh, oddle specific rules I’d like to lay out. (This may be because I have no idea what ‘godmodding’ is and it may cause a few of these areas).

1. A bit of detail is necessary. You’re a creative bunch, come on.
2. You’re character is not immortal.
3. I suppose it’s worth stating that Mary-Sues are not permitted.
4. I have the final say.
5. Don’t do ridiculously rash things that could drastically change the plot without my permission, such as infiltrating the government or something.
6. More than one character is allowed, but not recommended unless you can handle that amount.
7. Pokemorphs, which should be the main amount of characters in the story, are not some sort of uberly powerful thing or something. They’re defensive and offence surpass that of a regular human, but are not nearly as good as Pokèmon. The moves that they use should be extremely energy draining, so they wouldn’t go around using some like Blast Burn all willy-nilly.
8. On the note of moves, Pokèmon may use Egg moves and Level-Up moves. They may also use appropriate TMs, however, they must have bought these, and they are rather expensive.
9. Do make at least a decent effort in proper spelling and grammar.
10. Don’t control other Charecters without their permission. This has a bit of grey area, as if you ask someone to hold you’re Yo-Yo or something, that is acceptable, but if you ask someone to battle, wait for them to respond before beginning.
11. And, well, you get the idea. Be rational, some rules go without saying. VM me if you have a question about anything.

My Form:
Team: Pokemorphs(Abra)
Name: Sean
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Appearance: Sean is lucky enough to look very human. His skin is tainted slightly yellow, and he has a tail (which is normally shoved down his pant leg and is very inconspicuous). Other than this, he looks completely human. He was, in fact, able to trick his whole school into thinking he human, until he got into an argument with his best friend who then blabbed the secret to everyone.

Personality: Sean doesn’t have many friends at home, but this is more because he didn’t iniate conversations with people rather than that he was unfriendly. He thinks about very deep things, but never really comes to a conclusion. He has very strange thinking, causing him to miss the obvious, however, it also helps him spot things other miss.

Other: Ironically enough, Sean is not at all good at using his only Level-Up move, Teleport. This is only because it takes a lot of energy, even more so than a regular Abra because his human side doesn’t seem to like to go into non-being. However, he has used all his allowance money to buy TMs (Three to be exact). He is particularly adept at using the move Reflect, but he can’t keep it up for long.

Team: Pokémorph
Name: Gale
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Appearance: Gale stands at about four feet and ten inches tall; she is short due to being part Swellow. Her eyes are light aqua green. Gale likes to keep her straight hair short so it doesn't get in the way while she flies. Originally, her hair was blond, but she dyed it blue because she thought it made her look more like a real Swellow. Her legs are short, and they have Swellow talons on the end, but her arms are long, and they are wings, which is very inconvenient because she can't grab much. However, they are useful for gliding short distances; Gale is light for her height, due to being part bird; she weighs about seventy-five pounds. Often she wears clothes patterned as a Swellow, since she loves being graceful, and the Pokémon in general.
Personality: Energetic, Gale seems to never get tired. Part of this is her optimism, and she doesn't feel extremely pressured by the loss of the war. However, she is worried, and will probably have to get to Sinnoh somehow, or go in hiding somewhere. Even though Gale is confident, it's not easy for her to make decisions most of the time. She easily makes friends and is also easily influenced by what others say. Still, she doesn't stop at anything to defend those close to her.
Other: She is originally from Hoenn, but moved to Johto, and is now fleeing again. Quite the one to move around. xD
Swellow morph based off of a dream I had once.
 
Team: Pokemorph (Lopunny)
Name: Kaine Vehmen
Gender:
Age: 19

Appearance: Kaine is tall and thin, with almost perfect smooth brown skin, soft wavy blond hair, and large red eyes. His legs are muscular and very strong, enabling him to run fast and jump high. His arms, by contract, are rather thin and not as strong, but still capable of throwing a punch. He is curvy for a boy, with wide feminine hips and a thin waist. His face is well-shaped, with high cheekbones and a small button nose. He wears glasses, even if his vision isn't too bad. The only things that really belie his Pokemorph nature is a small fluffy tail that pokes out of his pants from his tailbone area, the whites - or rather, blacks - of his eyes, and the twin puffs of blond fluff that ring his wrists.

His usual mode of dress consists of skinny jeans with a hole cut for his tail, tennis shoes, and a white man's dress shirt left unbuttoned the first two buttons and untucked. He has a tattoo in the shape of an arrow pointing skyward right between his shoulderblades.

Personality: Kaine is a quiet boy, keeping mostly to himself when he isn't involved with a group activity. He is brave despite his quietness, and will stand up for himself if he has to. He is skilled with dismantling and fixing electronics, able to take apart a television set in under 15 minutes without damaging it (other than the fact it's been taken apart...), and put it together in about an hour. He is also a skilled kickboxer, and as such is adept in the Jump Kick, Low Kick, Mega Kick, and Triple Kick attacks, even if his Pokemon side is not normally capable of using the latter two. He also is a skilled ballroom dancer.

Other: He's dating someone (moon-panther wants to join, he's with her char :3) and he can use the following TMs: Drain Punch, Focus Punch, Rain Dance, and Water Pulse.

Team: Pokemon Trainer
Name: Jean
Gender : Male
Age: 22
Appearance: He has messy blond hear and glass bottle green eyes. He wears a black wife beater and baggy blue jeans with holes in the knees, a necklace around his neck that looks like a Green bead at the center. He wears simple sneakers and fingerless gloves, as well as a single earring in his left ear. When he is seen, he often has a cigarette in his mouth.

Personality: He is...quirky. Usually a happy lad with a joke to all problems. Despite of his "joker" appearance, he is sharp minded and very observant of his surrounding. He is actually really lovable and is often proving so by hanging out with his boy-friend.

He has a strong sense of right and wrong, standing up for what he believes in, and will resort to blows if someone messes with his guy.

Other: He has a Boy-friend. It's FMC's character. He also has a knack for noticing things and knowing things at times.

As for Pokemon, he has one pokemon.

Pokemon: Furret
Moves: Eggs moves (Reversal, Covet, Slash, Trick, Assist) TMs (Blizzard, and Flamethrower)
 
Team: Pokémorphs
Name: David Rowand
Gender: Male
Age: 15

Appearance: David is a Gardevoir Pokémorph, as if Gardevoir wasn't already humanoid enough. He have snow white skin, except for his hands and arms, which are green. His face is smooth and girlish, and ends with three spikes at each side and big, red eyes, he have the Gardevoir hair, but it'd actually a bit longer. He is, to put it simply, thin, but not as ridiculously much as the Pokémon he is morphed with, and below his chest his body is actually fully human, with the exception of the unnaturally white colour. He do have the red chest and back horn, but they're significantly smaller, and it's hard noticing them what so ever, even when he's standing straight.

he wears a thin, green shirt with long sleeves, and a pair of blue, baggy pants.

Personality: David can control his bad temper, to an extent, he can't deal with people continuously harassing him, without getting back. Still, to his friends, he's incredibly loyal, to the point where he could hurt himself to protect them, a trait he inherited from the Pokémon he was morphed with. He's kind of lazy, using his psychic powers to do simple tasks such as fetching small things or messing with people by creating small sparks to surprise them, but he can't use them a lot for heavier things. He really doesn't care about how feminine he looks, as a matter of fact, he is proud of it, and being insulted for it hurts him deeply.

Other: Can Pokémorphs learn TM moves? I don't see why not.
 
Team: Pokemorph, a Sharpedo morph~
Name: ed'Rashtekaresket Saul
Gender: Male
Age: 40

Appearance: Half of Saul, starting from a kind of semi-circle around his mouth, going down his throat, including his belly, under his arms and a small part of his knees is grey, the rest is aqua blue, including his hair. On his forearms are kind of fins, on his back is a thin, easily hidden one that fully extends in water. Saul has a yellow 'X' on his forehead, like a Sharpedo, and his eyes are red, with black pupils. Two holes behind each eye, serve as gills in the water, and kind of 'extra lungs' out of water. His mouth has only one row of teeth, which are needle sharp, and easily grow back.

Saul has both lungs and gills, and could live both on dry land and in the water comfortably. With an odd appearance like his, it is next to, if not impossible to hide the fact that he is a Pokemon, except around the blind. He wears a black wetsuit with slits for his fins under his normal clothes, which also have slits for his fins.

Personality: Saul is a shark at heart, and does not show much emotion, when he can. He goes into a frenzy at the scent or taste of blood, even if it's his. Nothing seems to affect him emotionally, though he's holding it all back for a time where he can let it all out and explode. Otherwise, Saul is calm and quiet, never talking, or talking as little as possible. He prefers to stay away from people and others just in case they have an open cut, but is strongly attached to Sienna, though he won't show it.

Other: oh what is this with me and older characters :x


Team:
Pokemorph, a Vibrava morph~
Name: Sienna
Gender: Female
Age: 13

Appearance: Sienna's skin is a light brown, or sienna, ironically, and is segmented by cracks about a centimetre deep. Her hair is darker, but not by much. Two strands of hair stick up in front of her head, and are impossible to keep down. Her tailbone extends into a thick tail, still the colour of her skin, which ends in two diamond shaped bones, covered in wing membrane. From her shoulder blades sprout two wings each, also in the shape of diamonds. Sienna's wings and tail.. things are bordered with black and a dark green in the middle. Her eyes are the same green colour as her wings, and are covered by 'shields' that prevent sand, or anything from getting into her eyes.

Sienna's wings are large enough to fly with, and her clothes, like Saul's, have openings for her tail and wings to show. Her appearance also makes it hard to hide that she is a Pokemorph, but that doesn't stop her from doing most things.

Personality:Sienna is full of energy, and seems to have drunken a permanent chug of coffee, or something. She is very twitchy and often speaks too fast to be understood well, and never stops moving. She is a great big smiley face, and is always optimistic and laughing at some inside joke, usually something that isn't funny. She tries to see the best in everyone, which is annoying sometimes, when she's up in your face telling you about how great you are. Sienna doesn't seem to know what 'personal space' means, and goes through people's stuff, taking and leaving whatever she wants.

Darksong: Permitted

Full Metal Cookies: Eh, looks fine, except I have no idea what type of Pokemorph he is. Permitted, but make sure you do edit your post.

moon-panther: Permitted.

Can Pokémorphs learn TM moves? I don't see why not.
Didn't I already say they could? Permitted, anyway.

Oh, and since I'm so inexperienced and such, I'm probably making a big mistake by saying that, when we begin, you may start at any location you so wish. We'll get together (or not) eventually.
 
Well, time for the stupid question. It was inevitable. x3
Are trainers allowed to have legendary Pokemon of any kind?

Well, no. Unless you have an absolutelygreat reason, or it's something like Rotom or Phoine, since they aren't really Legendaries.
 
Waaaiiiitttt ffooorrrr meeeeeeee!

Team: Pokemorph (Ninetales)
Name: Baethin
Gender : Male
Age: 15
Appearance: The abdomen and feet of a human, covered in fur, with the lower body, tails, and head of a ninetales. Wears overly baggy hoodies, long, baggy jeans, and running shoes.
Personality: Dark, moody, and hard to get close to. Can be very cruel and uncaring at times, but regrets it afterwards. He doesn't mean to be a bad person, it's just the way he is. He doesn't care what others think of him, he just cares what he thinks of himself.
Other: Unfortunately, the night of the strange broadcast, he was unusually restless. He lay awake staring at the moon as he often did. Then he heard some figures approaching, and pretended to be asleep. "Here's a couple more," one voice said, "Should we take 'em both?" Another voice said, "Nah, we'll come back for the other one." He shifted in alarm, and the figures noticed. "You need to sleep," the first voice said. Then he was knocked unconscious. When he woke, he was still in his bed, but his Brother was gone. Why the two men had not come back for him, he could not understand.
 
Both of Dragon's are permitted and it's just because she's my friend.

You may start now, if you so wish.
 
Team: Pokemorph (Absol)
Name: Kendall
Gender : Female
Age: 16

Appearance: She has ashy gray, unhealthy looking skin, somewhat lighter than a normal Absol's, and her short, layered hair is snowy white. She has very expressive pale red eyes, along with Absol's usually horn-esque thing and tail, and her nails are elongated into claws. She tends to wear dark denim shorts and black tights with the toe area cut messily off so her claws don't tear through them. She wears dusty blue converse hightops, and short-sleeved shirts (over long-sleeved ones when it's cold), usually in olive, gray, and other muted colors. She wears black and white striped knit gloves with padded fingertips so she doesn't accidentally scratch someone.

Personality: Extremely skittish due to her Absol ability to sense coming danger, she's nervous around other people and tends to stay hidden in the shadows. Unfortunately, she's only able to know that there will be some sort of disaster, not what that disaster is. When she actually does speak up, she's a logical thinker and good planner and organizer. She's untrusting of most all people until she gets to know them really well. If provoked she can be quite fierce.

Other: She doesn't have the money for any TMs, however she often uses her tail as a weapon. It's effectively Iron Tail, just without the iron and thusly with much less power.

Team: Pokemorph(Garchomp)

Name: Lars

Gender : Male

Age: 20

Appearance: Lars looks like a Garchomp, although he is 2.2M tall, and has 5 fingers with long claws instead of one claw in each hand. The 'wings' in his arms are longer than these of normal Garcomps- they are around 1 meter of length. His legs are in the form of garchomp legs, although he doesnt have the spikes on the legs. His feet are like these of garchomp, but have 5 fingers. Although they still have the long claws.
He has a long tail, the length of a normal garchomp tail. However, his skin colour is that of a gible- light torquise, with light red on his belly and on his mouth's lower part.

Personality: Lars is a quiet person, but is talktive when he is near persons he likes to talk to- under these categories are girls, but especially guys of his age range- however, every age will do. He likes to communicate with males because he is gey
has had a trauma with a female altaria morph.

Other: Unlike most pokemorphs, his creation was quite unstable- he didnt get enough genes to become a total morph, but also not too few to become one. Short and good, his form is unstable, changing from his total morph form to the form of a normal human, 1.8 Meter of hieght, Very dark brown hair, and light tan skin, with dark brown eyes. His eyes are yellow in morph form, being a Garchomp morph.
Lars is trainnig in boxing, karate and judo since he was 10, in which he was a gabite morph(yes even morphs grow!), and has aquired a black belt in judo/karate, and is quite much of the local champion in boxing. When fighting, he sometimes uses tricks to gain the upper hand, although thats rather rare.
He works as a cook, especially when it comes to cooking the food(heating it up).
He also sometimes makes quick delivieries(pizza, electronic service, food and whatever else deliveries) using his ability to glide in the air.

Tm/Level up/Breed moves: Flamethrower, Sword dance, Stone edge, Dragon rush, Dragon claw, Earthquake, Dig, Fire fang.



I might make another one in addition.
