Pokémon - Adventures in Helnith (RPG)

"Get up!", cries out an older female voice.
The group finds itself in a cozy room, furnished with all of the trappings you might expect in a house of someone important.
One look at the clock lets the group know that it is 5:30AM. Each of you gets up grudgingly...wishing that you could sleep just a bit more.
There's a knock on the door.
"Are you young'uns up yet?" asks the voice.
Without waiting for a response, the old lady opens the door. She appears to be about fourty-some years of age, even though she carries them effortlessly. Her hair is whitening out and she is dressed in a blue robe from top to bottom ((standard Elder attire))
"Good morning, lads and lasses. I realize it's a bit early, but we have no time to waste. The preparations..."
She stops herself and slaps her forehead.
"Where are my manners? You all arrived so late last night that I had my daughter show you all to your rooms without even introducing myself. My name is Saha and I am the Elder of this tiny speck of land we all call Aitel Island."
She mumbles something to herself and resumes.
"As I'm sure you're all aware, our region of Helnith is in trouble. I could explain it all in detail, but that will be the duty of Aquai. His son, Fate, summarized it quite nicely in that letter you were all sent."
She looks at the group intently and asks:
"Any questions before we leave for the Aitel Docks?"

"No questions! Lets go! The longer we stay around gawking, the less time we have for adventure." Stripes (the zigzagoon) barks something. "What's that? I am not too impatient!"

The elder chuckles and responds:
"My my...aren't you an impatient young lass? And..."
She trails off as she looks at Misty.
"...you look so familiar too. Can't place where you're from though."
She pauses for a moment and then resumes.
"I am in a bit of a rush as well, truth be told, but your friends might have some questions."
Suddenly, the elder calls out to someone:
"Oh, Dove! Come here, my daughter."
Suddenly, a beautiful young lady of about 20 years of age with blond hair and a fair complexion enters the room.
"Yes Mother?", asks the young lady.
The elder whispers something to her daughter which prompts her to leave the room.
"Don't mind her. She's just fetching something."

Mina blinked sleepily, absently scratching under the chin of the small bird Pokemon perched on her shoulder. The latter only cracked an eye open briefly and shuffled in place before settling back to sleep—the Pidgey’s diurnal nature disagreed with the pre-dawn wakeup call.
“I have a question,” she volunteered, repressing a yawn. “What’s the forecast for today? My little friend here will want to stretch his wings.”

((I'll be using the usernames so you can easier tell who is involved in the conversation. However, during said conversations, the NPC's will use your In Character name; if that made any sense. ))
The elder looks at mamgaeater and replies:
"Very soon. As a matter..."
Her daughter reaches the room again, a strange parcel in hand, along with several other letters and a suitcase. It is painfully obvious that she is struggling with the sheer volume of stuff she has in her hand. However, she shows no signs of tiring. She says:
"I'm back. I have the suitcase filled with the trainer's starting equipment and a bunch of letters and a gift for the love of my life."
The elder looks at Dove ((yes, it IS her actual name )) and remarks:
"Don't you think that's a bit...excessive?"
To which Dove replies:
"Well Mom...if you'd let me go with..."
A sharp look stops Dove in her tracks.
"No, my child. We've been through this. I will not have you put in danger!"
"But..."
"NO BUTS!"
The sharpness of the elder's final phrase causes Dove to bow her head as she gives her mother the ridiculous amount of items for the "love of her life".
The elder turns her gaze back to mamgaeater and says:
"I apologize for the little scene you just saw. It is dangerous to be traveling from place to place in this region, what with Team Bandra out on the loose. As for your question...we will be leaving right now...just as soon as I *opens suitcase* give you all these basic items."
She goes from bed to bed, giving each party member 3 Poké Balls, 1 Potion, 1 Full Heal and a Pokédex.
"So, there you have it. I'm sure you all know how to use a Pokédex, even though it's the first time you've had one in your hands. Basically, when you meet a new Pokémon, you open it and hold it up. The screen faces you and the other side faces the Pokémon. Afterwards, the Pokédex gives you the relevant data. Neat, huh?"
She smiles happily as she faces Kareeah. Her smile fades as she hears the question:
"Sigh...the same weather we have 4/5 of the year in this region...painfully sunny. I'll be blunt; this region is dying. We need to find the guardian Pokémon of Helnith. Something bad must've happened to her for the land to be suffering so."
Her smile returns to her face as she takes a deep breath.
"And, we're off! Make sure you leave nothing behind!"
She leads the group outside of the house.
The group, now outside, sees that the island is scarcely populated. There are a total of four houses, counting the elder's house, and there is a mountain behind the village. The few members of the population have Poké Balls around their waist and they all seem like they're expecting something...or someone.
"Hurry along now!", says the elder, with a look on her face identical to that of the village people.
She leads the group to the docks and orders the captain of the ship to prepare to set sail.
"Now, get on the ship before..."
A loud roar is heard from the distance. You are not positive, but it seems that a black Pokémon mounted by someone similarly dressed ((as in black attire, not as in like a Pokémon )) is flying rapidly towards the party's position.
"...on the ship NOW!!!"
The elder's voice is now filled with dread as she basically bullies the captain of the ship into finishing the preparations. The captain announces that the preparations are complete. She splits the letters between the party members and gives the parcel to Misty. The party boards the ship.
"Make sure they reach Siltis Village!", cries out Elder Saha to the captain as he raises anchor. "I'll hold him off for as long as I can."
"Anchors a weigh!, says the captain as the ship sails off into the sea, en route to Siltis Village.
The ship is now about 200 meters away from the island. You can see the black Pokémon landing to meet the elder. The elder sends out a yellow Pokémon to meet the threat.
((You guys have control again. Hope you liked the update! ))

As usual, Oswald being up all night missed the wake up call and now has to hurry to catch up with the rest. Seeing the ship a short way off he flies in the general direction keeping a 'Keen Eye' out for danger or an easy meal.

“No, definitely not good,” Mina agreed grimly, taking out her Pokedex as well. “Let’s see if I can aim this sucker…” She flipped open the device and pointed it at the creatures about to do battle on the rapidly receding shore.

((Good Kareeah! ))
As Kareeah points her Pokédex at the battle scene, she gets a positive ID on the nature of the Pokémon Elder Saha has just sent out.
Raichu
Mouse Pokemon
Type: Electric
It can loose 100,000 volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.
Common attacks: Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave
The Pokédex, however, has a much harder time figuring out the identity of the other Pokémon. You could almost swear that it's a new Pokémon.
After what seems like minutes, the Pokédex coughs up a positive ID.
Charizard
Flame Pokémon
Type: Fire/Flying
It is said that Charizard's fire burns hotter if it has experienced harsh battles.
Common attacks: Fire Spin, Fire Blast, Fly
Of course, the picture of the Pokédex shows an orange Charizard. Why this Charizard is black is unclear.
You can hear the elder loudly order Raichu to Thunderbolt the offending Charizard.
The Raichu lets out a cry of Rai...Chu!!! and the Thunderbolt connects with the Charizard.
The mysterious figure laughs as the Charizard takes the hit. You can tell, even from this distance, that it is not enjoying the electricity.
"Fool!", cries out the mysterious figure as he says some other things you cannot make out because of the distance.
You suddenly see the Charizard fly into the air as it starts charging some mysterious attack.
Unexpectedly, the Pokédex starts "complaining":
"Error! Error! Unknown attack data!
The Charizard unleashes its attack; a violent blast of purplish black particles arranged in a beam that connects fiercely with the Raichu, KO'ing it instantly.
The last thing you hear before the island completely leaves your view is the swoosh of the Charizard's wings. You are not sure where it is going, but it appears the Captain heard it as well, as he is ordering one of his crew members to take the wheel of the ship as he looks off to the direction of the island.

Mina bit her lip worriedly, still gazing solemnly in the direction of the now unseen island. Pidgey ruffled his feathers with a worried chirping sound, looking about nervously; being outdoors in the rising sun had done much to bring the little bird to wakefulness, as had the sounds of combat.
“It’s all right, little one,” she shushed gently, trying to appear calm. She glimpsed around the ship for a moment and the other trainers present before her eyes alighted on the captain, and his own fixation on the now-invisible island of Aitel. She paced over to him, her steps tense.
“Sir,” she asked rather hesitantly, not entirely sure if she wanted to know the answer, “Are we likely to be followed?”

"Turn back! We have to battle that thing and bring it down!" Misty shouts. Of course she is ignored. Stripes barks again. "No I am not insane. I wish you would stop saying that. There are many of us and only one of it." Stripes sort of chuckles. "Yeah I guess your right, it is awful big. We'll get it eventually though!"

((Ok...I guess I'll use your IC names...I hope you remember your IC name. ))
The captain looks at Mina and says:
"I can almost guarantee it. I don't like the looks of this, at all. That man was after your group and he was wearing the attire of a high-ranking Team Bandra Officer."
As the captain turns his gaze back to the island's direction, the group notices the black Charizard flying towards the ship. It is slowly gaining ground, but you notice its flight falters on occasion and its body seems to be emitting sparks periodically.
The captain lets out a grin and says, to no one in particular:
"It seems that Thunderbolt did more than damage that beast. Why don't you lads use your Pokédexes on it and see what it says about its condition?"
The Charizard draws ever closer. You notice that it would have enough space to land in the middle of the ship and that, should it manage to land, it is possible to surround it. How effective any of this will be in actual practice is unknown.
On a completely unrelated note, the group notices that it is now in the open seas, no land visible from any direction...for the moment.

Mina’s eyes went wide as the rising sun. Pidgey vacated her shoulder with a frightened squeak.
“Drat! INCOMING! Pidgey get back here, I need you!”
She dashed into the midst of her fellow trainers, mind a-race trying to think of a way to counter the looming threat. “Everybody move! If you’re not a trainer, get below deck or find something to defend yourself with! Trainers—he’s injured, we can bring him down or beat him off—” privately she doubted this, but didn’t come out and say so, “so let’s get in gear!”
Abruptly an idea occurred to her; she spun and addressed a nearby crewmember. “Nets! Are there nets? Rope? If he lands, maybe we can keep him pinned down—cut off his mobility. That would be a huge help.” She raised her voice and called back the way she came, “Captain, he’s a Fire type; if you have fire extinguishers onboard, it might be a good idea to go get them—”
Something clattered onto the deck; she looked down just long enough to see her Pokedex illuminated in the rising sun. Pidgey swooped down and picked it up, depositing it in her hand. He chirped anxiously, hovering in place.
“All right all right!” She obligingly opened the device and aimed it at the approaching menace, twitching irritably as the handheld equipment (slowly, by her reckoning, though that could have been the adrenaline talking) scanned the beast again.

"Is this all?" I ask calmly as I pull out my Anti-Charizard Cannon. "Well then..."
I can't help but notice Zero's sad expression at my quickness to employ deadly force.
"Very well" I say as I place the Anti-Charizard Cannon away. "I suppose it would be a little more sporting to fight like everyone else."
"Even if it is pretty illogical..." I mutter.
Zero uh...chrips (or whatever the heck raccoons do) about as the Charizzard appears closer.
"We need to cool that creatures temper a little. Would you mind Zero?"
Zero instnatly picks up on my thoughts and begins to Growl at the Charizard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
((Hehe...can't help but make this tangent ))
The captain looks at Omega and shoots an admiring glance:
"Wow! An APC! ((Anti-Pokémon Cannon)) You know, I thought they had banned those things...unsportsmanlike power and what-not. The last guy that used one of those is doing 8-12 at the...well...can't tell you where exactly, you haven't gotten there yet! "
He shakes his head as he realizes the tangent the conversation is taking, and returns his thoughts back to the fight at hand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The captain looks at Mina and whistles in admiration.
"You have a good head on your shoulders, lass. No rope, no nets, yes to the fire extinguishers though."
He has two sailors fetch the fire extinguishers from the storage room. The sailors return to the deck, fire extinguishers in tow when suddenly...it arrives.
The black Charizard doesn't so much land as crash on the scene. As it gets back up, it's trainer jumps off and looks at the group menancingly.
"Fools! You thought you could escape from me? You should've never come to this region!"
The mysterious Team Bandra officer takes off his veil and reveals a battle-scarred face with dark brown eyes and matching hair.
"My name is Altros. Remember it, for this will be the first and last battle you will have in this region!"
During this time, Mina's Pokédex has analyzed the Charizard vitals:
Power Level: 40 ((Fancy way of just flat out stating its level ))
HP: 25%
Condition: Paralyzed
Move Set:
Fly
???
UNKNOWN ((the one used a mere few posts ago))
???
The officer notices Mina's probing and laughs maniacally. After the bout of evil laughter, he asks in a scathing tone:
"Do you think that you pathetic...*struggles to find the word* worms can defeat my Charizard?"
His questions contrasts starkly with the state of his black Charizard...critically injured and Paralyzed.
He mumbles something under his breath along the lines of not bringing any curative items or extra Pokémon.
The two sailors with fire extinguishers position themselves to shoot at the Charizard.
And the battle begins...((cue battle music ))
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Team Bandra Officer Altros sends out Charizard.
The group takes up battle positions around the Charizard, while the two sailors position themselves behind the trainers at the closest end to the hold. Visual presentation coming up:
XX
X C C X
X C C X
XX
SS
X = Possible trainer positions for the battle
C = Charizard (2x2 )
S = Sailors
Charizard uses Focus Energy!
The foe's Charizard is getting pumped!
The captain shouts orders to his sailors:
"Once you find an opening, spray that beast!"
((Move lists for your Pokémon will be written up in the OOC thread ASAP. ))
