[RP] Pokemon: Opal Version - Episode 1: "Warm Welcomes"

Post by Sleuth »

Pokemon RP: Opal Version

Somehow, she roped you into it. You've only just begun your Pokemon journey, and already you're sailing out to a whole other region! But you know that friends will be there.
You've all planned this for months. You're worried, but also so exciting! The four of you, in unfamiliar land, taking on the ultimate challenge. It feels like so long ago you were all sitting cozy in front of your computer screens just chatting about it. You never thought you'd ever do it-- You were all just kids!

But you weren't kids anymore. Now you were Team Opal. Ready to take life by the horns, she'd gotten you all together for one big chance. The ship is getting closer-- You can see the skyscrapers piercing the horizon. It's nearly time. You'll all meet in mere moments and then... The challenge of a lifetime will begin. The boat pulls into the harbor. You set foot on the docks, and breath in the fresh air. A little bit away, you can see her, grinning and waving. You have arrived.

Welcome to Unova.
Welcome to Pokemon Opal Version, an RP based on the Pokemon franchise. This RP is set in the Unova Region (5th Generation) post-BW2. We're using the most recent games (ORAS) for reference as far as movesets, gameplay, and features.

The RP follows the adventures of a group of young Trainers known as Team Opal, as they venture across Unova in their quest to be the very best. Along the way they will encounter villainous teams, powerful Gym Leaders, worthy Rivals and true companions. Will you join Team Opal's quest to win all 8 Gym Badges? Or will you crush their dreams beneath your heel?

Team Opal will consist of 4 main characters, though others can tag along and join the group. Team Opal's adventures are the focus of this RP, and the adventures will all revolve around their quest to win 8 Gym Badges. Other Players will be Gym Leaders, Rivals, Villains or just other Trainers. The story will take place over 12 Episodes, each taking place in a new city, which end when the main party defeats the boss of the area. There will be 8 Gym Battles and 4 Non-Gym Bosses. In between will be 2-3 events to spur interaction and yield some small rewards, like rare Pokemon or more LP. Once all 12 Episodes are completed, the game is over.

This map here is also a good reference to keep handy.

"So Wait, Is This A Sequel To PokeRP1?"


For the sake of players who'd want to continue/reuse their PokeRP characters, we're saying this is a separate timeline AU whatever from PokeRP. You need no knowledge of the first game to be involved with this one and it won't really touch on any of the plot. However, if you wanna throw in PokeRP references, go nuts!

This RP does borrow heavily from PokeRP, but the major difference here is that PokeRP2 is focusing on a main storyline with a beginning, middle, and end. That's not to say that players still can't do their own thing-- However, we will be driven along as we go, sorta like a road trip. You can either be in the car going along, or one of the strangers they meet along the way, and there's no one stopping you from leaping on or off the car either.

About
Spoiler : Our Heroes - Team Opal :
The protagonists of this adventure, Team Opal is a group of 4 Trainers who met online. With the help of their mutual friend, they were able to meet together in Unova for a chance to take on the Pokemon League and win all 8 Gym Badges. The story follows their struggles and adventures as they follow their dreams and fight villains.

As the main group driving the plot, it's up to you to stop the villain team, make friends and rivals, and tell the story of your character as they grow, evolve, and battle. The party is free to split, but will take on most big challenges as a unit. This group essentially is the star of the show, and the game will progress with them.

But Team Opal might not even stay together-- New members can join and members can fall out. Team Opal is merely the start of this story-- By the end, perhaps they'll have gone their separate ways.

- Players can switch in or out of the party at will, so long as there is room or a willing replacement.
- NPCs are able to tag along with Team Opal, or become full members of the party. However, there cannot be more than 6 members.
- NPCs that choose major roles, such as Villain Boss or Rival, cannot join the party.
Spoiler : The Fine Folk of Unova - NPCs :
NPCs are the trainers Team Opal will meet along the way. They might be anything from close ally to bitter enemy. Some will be recurring, such as the Rival, Nurse, and Boss. Others will simply be the Trainers you run into in each town and may only show up once. NPCs don't necessarily have to have a role, like Villain Boss or Nurse, and can simply be Trainers in the world.

- All roles are played by NPCs, but not all NPCs need a role.
- Players can app multiple NPC characters, but cannot app multiple roles. I.e. You can app two NPC twins, but you cannot app for both Gym Leader and Villain Leader.
- Players can play an NPC as well as a Main Party member, but can only have one of those characters in the Main Party.
- NPCs can join the Main Party provided that there is a free spot, and both parties agree to the change. It's first come first serve, so ask if anyone will be willing to trade spots.

Now, to detail some of the bigger roles.

Gym Leaders
- Gym Leaders have no set teams, and access to every Pokemon of the type they specialize in. If a Gym Leader joins the party, though, their party is limited to 6 max.
- Gym Leaders in this game are not bound to the Type the canon leaders chose. (i.e. Just cause you're the Nimbasa Gym leader doesn't mean you have to be electric type) Go nuts!
- You can totally detail your own Gym and cover it with pictures of Quagsire.

Villain Team
- First come first serve-- Whoever gets the Boss role can name the Team, their motivations, and mascot Pokemon.
- Villains are free to cause trouble however they like, and thus can begin anywhere.
- Their hideout is somewhere in Unova, but nobody exactly knows where.
- There's technically no difference between "Admin" "Exec" and "Commander". But they sound cool.

Rival
- There can be up to 3 Rival characters. They don't necessarily have to act together, but they all are against the Main Party. But if you wanna make a Rival Squad...
- The Rival has the same goals as the Main Party, but is acting against them and trying to get the 8 Badges first.
Spoiler : Levels and Such? :
Unlike the previous PokeRP, we're not keeping track of levels. I had originally intended to use them but I was really struggling to implement it well and eventually just decided not to use it. You can still use Levels as a general indicator of powers, but for the most part we're just winging it.

So for this RP, we get to play by ear. Go with what feels right and what you think works for the character or Pokemon. If we have to bust out concrete levels, keep a general level in mind and we'll work it out from there.
Spoiler : So How's This Gonna Go? :
The story is split into 12 Adventures/Episodes/Chapters, one for each city Team Opal visits. There will be events and interaction to do when they arrive, and when they beat the boss/Gym Leader, they're able to move on to the next city. Each chapter lasts until Team Opal earns their Badge/Defeats the boss. A minimum of one Team Opal character has to earn the victory.

When all 12 episodes are completed, the game is over.

NOTE: It is HIGHLY recommended that you create a Google Docs record of your character. Even if you are not part of the Main Group, it's easier for the GMs to help you and keep track of the Pokemon.
Spoiler : The Path To Glory/Episode Recap :
Here is the path this RP will be following. Each Episode will take place in a different location, so you'll want to know where to be when the stuff starts happening.

Episode 1: Castelia City - Warm Welcomes
Episode 2: Nimbasa City
Episode 3: Driftveil City
Episode 4: Mistralon City
Episode 5: Icirrus City
Episode 6: Opelucid City
Episode 7: Lacunosa Town
Episode 8: Undella Town
Episode 9: ??????
Episode 10: Viribank City
Episode 11: Floccesy Town
Episode 12: Aspertia City
Spoiler : GMs :
A game like this can't very well run without a bunch of good people doing some good work. As with the last RP, it's completely possible to play this both as a GM and as a Player.

Generally, GM duties fall to "advancing the plot with narration/update posts", "posting TRs and WPs from the Generator", and "solving disputes between players".

Where GMs will probably most be needed is RP battles can get pretty messy and though I trust people to generally police themselves, sometimes it can be a bit tricky to decide if things were fair or not. This is where I'll need GM help to discuss and determine if that Magikarp really SHOULD have been thrown or not. If such a situation arises, we GMs will discuss which course of action we think is best and rule whatever needs to be done. GMs will only step in when there's need for it.

Please let us know if you're interested in being a GM, and we'll send you the GM doc and link to the Generator (thanks again to Kwando).

Spoiler : Gotta app fast :
Name: Roland Nolastname
Age: 16
Role: Main Party
Starting Location: Castelia City
Appearance: Roland is thin and lanky, standing at 5'9". He wears square glasses, has blue-grey eyes and fiery indigo hair. He regularly wears a grey hooded jacket decorated with intermittent stripes of varying shades. He also wears white jeans inexplicably covered in stains.

Bio: Roland in this universe is a Kalos native moving to Unova, instead of the other way around. Living in Santalune City, it was easy to have high aspirations. Not to mention, he always did want to see Unova. So when our as of yet nameless female called Roland onto the scene, he would've had a hard time saying no. In fact, Professor Sycamore pulled some strings to get him a Snivy when he turned 10, because all 10-year-olds go to the Professor to get their starters. Definitely. She was soon dubbed Elizabeth and was treated similar to royalty in Roland's household, mostly as a joke. Not that Elizabeth knew that. Soon, she started believing she really was queen, and started throwing hissy fits whenever things didn't go her way.

However, the Snivy was Roland's second Pokemon. He obtained Blister, his trusty Deino, when he was seven, playing on Route 22. The poor thing looked like it took a nasty tumble down a small bit of a mountain and wound up there. Roland was shaken by its wounds, but ultimately decided that it was about the cutest thing on the planet. With a little bit of begging, his parents let him keep the Deino, mostly as a pet. Blister is very mellow, especially for his species. Blister's two favorite things are food and naps, and chances are, he'll be partaking in one of the two at any given moment.

Roland himself is calculating and a bit of a snarker. He acts as the cold one, but he really does mean well. Basically, he's just me.

Pokemon:
Elizabeth the Snivy - Lv. 5 (Tackle, Leer)
Blister the Deino - Lv. 5 (Dragon Rage, Tackle, Focus Energy)

Spoiler : App :
Name: Jade Ita
Age: 17
Role: Main Party
Starting Location: Castelia City

Appearance: She's pretty tall, standing at 5' 11". She has long turquoise hair that she wears in twintails. Thin red ribbons hold the twintails. She's slightly tanned. She has light blue eyes, though they're normally covered up since she usually wears sunglasses. (Aviators). She dresses in a sporty fashion - she wears a plain white t-shirt with black athletic shorts. She has a black wristband on her right arm. Wears bright orange runners, with short white ankle socks.

Bio: She's Opal's older sister! (This is the most important thing you need to know.)

...

You want to know more than that? Fine.

She's big into sports - she loves playing football soccer, especially. However, like her younger sister, she loves her food as well. While she's quite nice, she is a lot more sarcastic and biting than Opal is. She also is quite a bit more hot-headed than her sister is - she's one to resort to... Physical ways of dealing with problems, rather than using words, if need be. (Or well, in this case, Pokemon.) She's also more serious and less aloof than her sister. She's... Not one to really give things nicknames, and isn't really too sentimental about things.

(Also if NN does app in time, she'll know NN's character IRL, rather than just only online.)

Pokemon:
Joltik - Level 5 (String Shot, Leech Life, Spider Web, Thunder Wave)
Eevee - Level 5 (Helping Hand, Growl, Tackle, Tail Whip, Sand Attack)

So... tempting...

But not... enough time...

But maybe...?

Before I do any applying though, I'm a bit confused about something. What exactly would the NPCs do? "Rival" I think I understand well enough, but what will the other three be up to throughout the RP?

The Rival character is akin to a miniboss that'll pop up at GM prompting.

The Nurse role is just the Pokemon Center Nurse. It's a completely optional role just in case anyone wants to go "okay folks here's yer pokemon back".

The Police will have most plot relevance, as they'll be on the trail of the villain team and exist to impart information to the Players.

the salaryman is a random salaryman who constantly runs into the group and is a completely worthless role. they will keep continually popping up and do nothing of plot relevance.

get some fierce competition for that one

Spoiler : Regular Trainer :
Name: Velvet Rose
Age: 16
Role: Main Party
Starting Location: Castelia City

Appearance: Velvet is relatively short at 5'1" and has tan-colored skin. She has bright blue eyes and red hair. Her casual wear includes a silver dress with black stockings, complicated by a plain white shirt. She wears black sneakers, and carriers around a bright red backpack.
Bio:
Velvet has always been interested in the future, and how one can shape and predict it. As a result, she quickly developed an interest in tarot, and now carries a deck wherever she goes. She doesn't necessarily believe in the readings of the cards themselves, but does believe in what they represent- that one's future is predetermined by circumstances beyond a person's control.

She is extremely enigmatic, often speaking in a very indirect manner that can be somewhat difficult to decipher, and makes no effort to make her meanings clearer unless it is absolutely necessary.

Since she was a young girl she's been good friends with Jade Ita.

Pokemon:
Natu Lv. 5
Piplup Lv. 5

"With good friends by your side, anything is possible. If you really care for each other, it makes everyone stronger! Then you'll have the will to succeed! The world is filled with painful things, it's sad sometimes, and you won't be able to handle it by yourself. But just know: If there's someone that you love, you'll stay on the right path. And you won't ever give in! As long as you keep that person in your heart, you'll keep getting back up. Understand? That's why a Hero never loses!"

Starting Location: Castelia City.

Chilly loves the cold and Ice type Pokemon, he keeps the gym at very cold temperatures and fills it with Snowmen and Snow Pokemon...men.. you know. Chilly is an energetic jokester who loves Ice, Wearing Scarfs and Music, Specifically flute music and he even plays one, tho he is only a beginner.
Pokemon: Ice Types

Pokemon: It's a secret to everyone... except the GM
Spoiler : OOC to possible Appers (update!) :
I talked to sleuth and he said it would be fine if I changed Chilly to Gym Leader. So now there is one more slot for Main Party.

Oh, what the heck. What's another RP!
Spoiler : NPC Application :
Name: Sadie Yankovitz
Age: 25
Role: Salaryman
Starting Location: Nimbasa City

Appearance: Sadie is a young woman dressed for success with a business formal flair... except she's always so harried and rushed that her appearance is as orderly as a Grimer is clean. She wears a standard-issue-looking black pantsuit with a white dress shirt and a dark green tie. The jacket is eternally unbuttoned, and as Sadie lacks a tie clip, the tie is constantly left swinging as she runs from place to place. She wears simple rectangular glasses with black rims, as she is nearsighted.

Generally, on her feet are either a pair of simple black high heels (but not too high; she doesn't want to fall) or a pair of running shoes. She swaps one pair for another depending on what she's doing. Need to get to a meeting across town on time? Running shoes! Need to be IN the meeting? High heels! The pair not worn is often in hand or in her handbag.

She is rarely or even never without her trusty handbag, filled with all the files, paperwork, and pens an aspiring businesswoman might need. Except she's terribly disorganized, so it's rather rare that she can find anything. If it weren't for the fact that her Pokedex doubled as a tablet that could scan and store all her most important files, she'd never find anything.

Her hair is black and is typically held in a high ponytail, though it can never seem to stay neat, at least not when she's not in a meeting. The strands end up sticking out in all sorts of directions, and it's overall frazzled.

At least, this is how she looks outside meetings. Sadie has the uncanny ability to very quickly spruce herself up just outside any boardroom or office door, and while in a meeting or while speaking to a higher-up, she's the pinnacle of office style, and she almost looks like another person, what with how everything is suddenly neat and orderly and perfect.

Bio: Sadie Yankovitz is a low-level corporate worker for the Silph Company. She's advanced slightly from entry level - she's no longer a pencil pusher and now has meetings to go to - but she still has absolutely no influence or power within the corporate structure. Even worse, she actually knows dangerously little about technology or engineering, so she really can't do much within the company besides analyze finances and crunch numbers. Even so, she's absolutely determined to make it to the top, come what may!

Sadie Yankovitz got her start in life as a young Pokemon trainer at the age of ten, and she was terrible at it.

She had absolutely no skill in catching Pokemon, and she was bereft of any natural skill in strategy while in a Pokemon battle. While all her friends went on to get badges 2, 3, 5, 8, etcetera, Sadie was left in the dust with no one but her starter Pokemon Lilac the Ralts to keep her company. It wasn't long before Sadie gave up her dream of being a Pokemon master and settled down to begin a much more ordinary life by going to school and later university and finally getting an ordinary office job at Silph Co.

In the present, Sadie lives in Nimbasa City with Lilac, who by now has evolved into a Gardevoir. Although Lilac is technically "her Pokemon," Sadie habitually treats her more like another human, and their relationship is much like that of roommates. Being a psychic type and a natural empath, Lilac is able to communicate with Sadie telepathically/empathically, but only Sadie can understand her on a conversational level. Conversations typically look very strange to outside observers, as Sadie will be reacting to comments made by Lilac that no one else can even detect.

With her corporate job, Sadie sometimes has to take business trips to other cities, and Lilac typically accompanies her, acting as a sort of secretary in those cases. When it comes to organization, Lilac is everything Sadie isn't: she's neat, tidy, and she always knows where something is. Often, this helps balance out Sadie's utter and complete disorganization.

Pokemon: Lilac the Gardevior - She joined Sadie on her Pokemon journey as a young Ralts, as she wanted to see as much of the world as possible, and although Sadie never made it far as a trainer, Lilac got her wish. She's been to almost every major city in Unova by now, and she's even gone on a few vacations with Sadie to other regions. By now, she's a mature Gardevoir with a knack for business organization and a love of reading and travel. Since Sadie never had any instinct for Pokemon battles or being a trainer, Lilac isn't very skilled in combat either, but neither of them consider that very important. For the most part, Lilac lives her life as though she was a strange-looking human. She isn't generally kept in a Pokeball, she goes grocery shopping, she watches movies at theaters, she assists Sadie with much of her business organization, etc. In order to aid communication with strangers, Lilac typically carries a handbag containing a pencil and notepad for any situation where pantomime and charades are insufficient for getting the message across.
EDIT: Also, when I click on the marked map of the Unova region, all I can see is a garbled mess of symbols. Is that... supposed to happen?
