So let's take something different and use it to rehash the same old storyline! Okay here's how it's going to go: A slightly...off geneticist by the name of Zephan Kiro D'arcy took up a rather disturbing study of trying to figure out if it were possible to splice the DNA of certain pokemon in order to serve his own sense of beauty and power. Of course after making such creatures, a few of the smarter ones escape and he needs the help of a few suckers?I mean heroes to go out and bring them back before someone else finds them. It would be just terrible if the society against cruelty to pokemon were to see them and start asking questions. Of course his story will be something totally different when he explains it to the trainers.

This Rp will play out like a story...broken up into chapters centered around each of the escaped pokemon and the efforts required to bring it back to the lab.

I'll accept players depending on their Rp content when responding to the opening posts

The setting will begin with flyers posted in various Pokemon centers reading as follows:

Trainers needed!

Favorite pokemon lost, serious trainers wanted to bring find them and bring them back to their loving owner. If interested contact Dr. D'arcy at Lumiere labs. Special compensation for sucess!



There you go...let's see if this can work here or not...

((I like the sound of this one....lets give it a go))

Shauni is what is refered to as a 'driffter' trainer, training and capturing pokemon for a living, but not competing professinaly.

Shauni entered yet another pokemon center in yet another namless town she passed threw, did it matter anyway what it was called? She wouldnt be staying long.

She walked over to the notice bored to see if there were any jobs for 'her' type of pokemon trainer, her eyes glanced over quite a few, one reading pokemon contest, another for a gym assistece, nothing speacial, until her eyes met a small add near the bottum of the bored

Trainers needed!

She look at the sign, her eyes empty
<span style='color:olive'>"Sounds easy enough, might as well try it out, its not like any of these others are cash in hand...."</span>
She pulled the notice of the bored and pockted it
<span style='color:olive'>"First come first served"</span>
She walked outside of the center after having locatied Lumiere's lab from the ceneters map, she sent out ponyta and headed straight for the lab
<span style='color:olive'>"I wonder what weak cutse monster the sissy wants retured....."</span>

((Yeah, this sounds pretty cool...))

Silver (As usual...) entered the Pokemon center of Cerulean City, just after earning his 10th badge. (He started in Hoenn, just so ya know) After healing his Pokemon, which were a Pidgeot (Duh), a Grovyle, a Flaafy and a Vibrava at the time, he looked over the notice board, not expecting to find anything interesting. Apparently someone wasn't very good with tacks, as a paper flew off and hit him in the face. <span style='color:gray'>"I can't believe I didn't expect that..."</span> He pulled it off his face and read it over.

<span style='color:gray'>"Ah well, I guess I can help out... and since apparently this paper likes me so much I think I'll just...hang onto it? Besides, out doubt anyone really needs that reward... MINE!"</span>
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Shauni arrived at the lab within 20 mins of the center, she dismounted the ponyta and retured it, she began to schope out the lab, it was kinda flashy for a pokemon reserch lab, she looked threw a few windows but shouldnt make anything out.

After banging on the front door for about 10 mins and yelleing, she walked back and looked at the roof, there was a chimy brest with smoke coming out of it, meaning someone was in

<span style='color:olive'>"Hello!" </span>she yelled again "<span style='color:olive'>I'm here about the job you posted, lets talk business</span>"

She stood and waited for a few more moments
<span style='color:olive'>"I know your in there, I am so gunna snap you if your wasting my time!"</span>

She crossed her arms n began to tap her foot
<span style='color:olive'>"I'll give you five more mins then I'm setting Tyranatar on you lab....."</span>

She waited, and as she raised the poekball to her waite level, the front door opened
<span style='color:olive'>"Finaly....."</span>
She walked over and poped her head threw the door, no one was there, so she invited herself in and began to look around.....

The lab sat out practically in the middle of nowhere, gated against casual intruders, but the guard and his Houndoom seemed friendly enough, at least once he got off the phone.

"Hmm? Uh, hold on Jenny, looks like a trainer needs through...can I call you after you get off patrol? How about seven? Great! Catch you later doll!"

Hanging up the phone he toggled the control to open the gate.

"Go on in kid, if your here about the ad, and if you just need directions, you can get those and a drink from the receptionist."

He was equally polite when the second trainer arived seemingly moments later.

Inside, the lab was cool and brightly lit, much like a hospital. The receptionist was a rather young girl with black shirley temple locks with her bangs streaked scarlet. She didn't seem to be doing any actual work, unless you count chewing gum and painting your fingernails work. Once both trainers had entered she decided to take notice and press a button in front of her with exagerated care to protect her drying nails.

"Dr. D'arcy...there are some trainers out here...oops wait, I didn't actually check to see if they were here for you...Hey, you two aren't lost are you? They don't look too lost to me...maybe a bit dirty, but not lost....Wait got a call coming in...I'll just send them to the snack room for you bye!"

Apparently another light had lit up on her switch board and she was expecting a call from her grandmother so...priorities first!

"Wait Erran, don't hang u....."

He never got to finish the sentence, instead the pair of trainers got to watch Erran snatch up the phone and cheerfully bubble out a greeting whilst pointing a well manicured digit towards an open door.

"Lumiere labs, this is Erran speaking how may I help you? Nanni it's you, I'm so glad you called!"

We don't need to hear the rest of that, it get's way too sugary and involves lots of babytalk and kiss noises...some people just have no shame...

In the snack room there was what could only be called a monument to what not to eat: A table was laden down with cakes, donuts, chips, cookies and mini burgers. A cooler nearby held punch and there were stacks of sodas left and right. Less notable was a case of ramen off to the side. Apparently te people around here snack often and on anything fast and sweet.

Shauni looked around this rather vast banquite
<span style='color:olive'>"Something tells me there is more to this job than finding a sissy pokemon"</span>

She stood silently at the table servaying all that was on offer, her face was stern until her weakness kicked in
<span style='color:olive'>"Are those ........glased donuts!"</span>A huge smile formed on her face and she almost dived at the donunts, grabbing the huge bowl and claiming its contents for herself
<span style='color:olive'>"How I have missed you glased god!" </span>she yelled as she stuffed on donut down after another

After about 5 she pt the empty bowl back on the table and sat on the floor, liking her fingers
<span style='color:olive'>"Well, even if this job is a bust, it was worth it just for that</span>"
She stood up, dusted herself of, and went back into a her moody fersard,
<span style='color:gray'>"Well...thats something you dont see very often...."</span>

Shauni sat down and let her smaller pokemon out for a strech, they consted of a scyther named Mantis, a Golduck named Griffen and a Combusteken named Tinder. She also had the ponyta named Beauty and a Tyranatar called Deno.
She sat and watched the three pokemon she had let out eat at the banquite, she figured no one would mind, and it was always funny to see Mantis try to eat marsh mellos with his blades

The man called Dr. D'arcy was somewhat tall, dressed in the typical white labcoat, though beneath it he was wearing a very ornate chinese robe. His skin was somewhat pale due to his indoor lifestyle and his soft skin showed a life lacking physical labor. His hair is long, mid-back length and mouse-brown, tied back with a ribbon of a matching powdery blue like the patterning of his robes. His eyes matched his hair as they peered through the tiny glasses that barely managed to hold their place on the tip of his nose where they loved to slip.

It was this man that was hurrying through the corridors, talking to his personal voice note recorder, stopping as he entered the snack room.

"Oh dear, such timing...such timing, that girl never listens to me! If I didn't need to have this taken care of I'd....Ah hello, I'm Dr. D'arcy, but you can call me Zephan, thank you for responding and what a lovely combusken you have there! And that Golduck, what a healthy appetite!"

Pulling a pen out of his pocket he scribbled down a few observations before, getting back to Shauni.

"Ah yes, if you think you are up to it, i have a few lost pokemon I'd like returned for me before one of the many extremist groups like the rockets or the aqua pirates or something should capture them and use them for evil! I must warn you, these pokemon are special, hand...trained by me. They know more attacks than normal and have superior attributes. But I know their attitudes and can point you to areas they'd likely go and alter your pokegear to help you track them. If you do this for me, I will pay you 1,000 credits for each one you capture and give you one our new prototype TMs for your pokemon...do you accept? if so, I'll take your gear and alter it to track the first one I need caught and input my nmber so you can contact me for info and updates"

Shauni looked at Zephan blankly <span style='color:green'>"Superior abilities? Were not talking genetically altered are we doctor?"</span>
Zephan smiled orquadly "What? A no...no....just, erm, well trained"
She stood and still looked at him, an eye brow raised <span style='color:green'>"I dont really care either way, I need the credits. I'm in I guess, not like I'm on a gym quest or anything"</span>
Suddenly there was a smash behind her, she turned to see Mantis on the food table with Griffin
"<span style='color:green'>hay! Get the hell of there!"</span>
Both the pokemon jumped down
Shauni turned back to Zephan "<span style='color:green'>Errmm....you can take the cost of the damage out of my first check, k?"</span>
Zephan scrated his head "What damaged?"
Suddenly the table collapsed right down the middle
<span style='color:green'>"Damn mantis and his marsh mellows!"</span>

<span style='color:blue'>"Hey, did I make it in time for the job?" *A new trainer stepped into the snack room. He was average height and wore jeans, a t-shirt, and a jean shirt.*</span>

"No, no. As I was saying to the others, I need help catching some specially trained pok?mon of mine that have escaped. I can modify your pok?gear to track them and you get 1000 credits and a special experimental TM for each one you catch."

<span style='color:blue'>"Sounds good. Count me in."</span>

<span style='color:gray'>"Hey, I know you! You're Josiah!"</span>

<span style='color:blue'>"Yeah... Silver, right? I won that match against you in the Johto league tournament."</span>

<span style='color:green'>"You're the Josiah? The tournament champion? What's a trainer like you doing here?"</span>

<span style='color:blue'>"Nothing special. I ran out of gyms to challenge and there aren't any tournaments for a while. I saw the notice and I needed some credits so I figured I might as well give it a try."</span>

(-OOC I'd prefer to control my own characters...no offence or anything, but I suppose if it stays small and mostly to NPCs I'll live. /OOC-)

All this talking was taking away from his research...he needed to get her out there and on the job before her and her pokemon did anymore needless damage or caused an even longer distraction! At least the other two were relatively quiet and from the sounds of things, they were both fairly experienced trainers at that, Bonus!

"Ah...don't worry about that, the cost is nothing compared to what it would mean to my heart if you returned my pokemon to me. Give me your pokegear so i can make the required input...hmm nevermind I'll try out my new datalink!"

Pulling out the cellular styled pokegear section from his own coat pocket he punched in a few keys and got a musical responce. A moment or two later, Shauni's pokegear responded in kind, now updated with a new pokedex entry and a contact file. A few more calls and the other pair of pokegear also chimed their acceptance.

The pokedex had a picture of a strange pokemon that looked partialy familiar, there was a name and data showing likely areas it might be found...all of which seemed like desert regions.

Sandflash: ???

That's all there was to it.

"All done, you can get started as soon as you like, I already had supplies sent to the guard post for you, so you can pick them up on the way out, also...I've given you 500 credits to help fund your traveling efforts...good luck!"

And just like that he was gone, a busy man with much to attend to, he saw little to no reason to stay around and chatter.

Shauni looked at her gear blankly "<span style='color:green'>Sand....flash...."</span>
<span style='color:green'>"these are so modified</span>"
She tured to Josiah and Silver
<span style='color:green'>"So, you guys are trainer trainers"</span>
<span style='color:gray'>"Whats that supposed to mean?"</span>
She looked away <span style='color:green'>".....nothing...."</span>
"<span style='color:gray'>Dont you compet?"</span>
She suck her head, still not looking at them
<span style='color:blue'>"What are you? some durty russler"</span>
She tured to him, a frown on her face "<span style='color:green'>No, I am a driffter trainer"</span>
<span style='color:blue'>"Figures, look at the staight of you"</span>
She slowly closed a fist under her jacket, it was true, she wasnt the smartest looking trainer, she was adonred by trip wires and drap balls, there wasnt a poekmon, trained or untriaed she coulnt catch
<span style='color:blue'>"So your not much better than a russler, you capture poekmon for money"</span>
She turned away "<span style='color:green'>its a living....." </span>

<span style='color:blue'>"Well, whatever. I'm here for the challenge and the money, not to get on your profession. Let's go find this guard post."</span>

<span style='color:gray'>"I wonder what kind of supplies that guy has for us."</span>

<span style='color:green'>"Considering the way he was acting, and this weird pok?mon we're going after, they're probably some sort of weird gadgets or something."</span>

<span style='color:blue'>"Well, we should find out soon enough." *Josiah pointed off in the distance.* "I think that's the guard post."</span>

She threw Josiah and Silver a Drap ball each "<span style='color:green'>Use them, there much more effect on per-captured pokemon"</span>

<span style='color:green'>"Six years....but I dont want to talk about it"</span>

The guard frowned as his cell rang again, the tone letting him know that he had a new text message, most likely from Jenny at that...blast these children and their timing! Quickly delving into the box he held and tossed each of the trio the proper items.

" Okay, the Doc wanted each of you to have these pokegear uplinks...said something about hooking them to the outside of your bags or something like that...then there was a TM in here somewhere...ah yeah...for the bird...said something about wanting to see if the bird would be ready to take on something new later...Here it is...the TTM(temporary), firepunch!...and what are these? Oh well, you can figure it out yourself"

Out of the box came what looked like offroa skateboards, the sort with monster-truck wheels on them. though the inscription called them omniboards...perhaps there was more to them than just off road skating?

None of that mattered to the guard, he practically dove to snatch up his phone after dumping off the last items, afterall, can't keep Jenny waiting.
