Yes. Thank Murdoc for that one since I was planning to let the Flygon follow Claude until I saw one of his posts xD And Jory volunteered to help out if my laptop decides to die. I'm pretty sure at this point Snap can't keep it running all by herself (if necessary) since she told me she wasn't as active as usual. He's also more experienced and can help out when Snap can't / assist her.

And a little announcement: Half of my street is being worked on currently and there is a possibility I won't have any internet. I don't know when or if it's going to happen but now you all know. And my laptop recharger and / or battery is almost dead and I won't have any more info before saturday. If it happens to die completely (it's being really annoying last 2 days) I won't be around much since my dad is pretty much addicted to facebook and I can't use his computer.

RoG can use some more activity. I won't accept any more students. Alright I got all kinds of problems with this one. - You don't want to 'float' between two different divisions. Exploration has very little fighters and most people that fail are in that division. (I don't want to spoil for the rest but you really don't want to be in this one.) - If you claim to be recruited already, you should have multiple higher leveled Pokémon. There is only one PC right now that I allowed to do that and there won't be any others. In short: Corwin is either a new member and can join in the story where they are without any problems, or Corwin joins them later when they reach chapter 2 and will be the same level as the others. - That backstory doesn't fit for multiple reasons. 1. The sandstorm guy (aka Doc) barely leaves RoG base. I also stated in one of the minor characters that Doc only recruited one person personally. He will never enter the Academy without a good reason. It's one of the last places he will go to. And even if your character battled his weakest Pokémon you would lose. No admin uses a Pokémon under level 40. 2. If your character already got kicked out the Academy once, he'll have a hard time with one of the future missions. I'm kinda spoiling here but sooner or later RoG will go to the Academy. A face mask (like the guy I mentioned earlier is going to need) might help, but in this case RoG won't see any point in sending Corwin.

Everyone A few minutes after Kenny and Ryan left the uninterested Salamence, the dragon let out another mighty roar that could be heard all over the domain. Little did the students know he signaled the other dragons to come out. Most of them, except a very stubborn Hydreigon, listened to the call. K_H The tree Kenny was lying against wasn’t very far from a weird rock formation. The cry of the Salamence reached him loud and clear and it didn’t take long before another Pokémon answered. “Druuuud!!” Elf and Murdoc Before Claude could reply a terrifying roar filled the air. Both students were quiet for a minute or two, until they suddenly heard something heavy move through the woods close by. Every step it took made the earth shake a little. The trees on Kage’s left started to shake as the Old King came closer and closer. Tacos, Jory, DarkLight, EXLink While Jacob confessed to the Academy’s Heartbreaker; a group of Haxorus managed to quietly surround them. Neither student realized they infiltrated a dangerous territory. At this point Jacob and Danielle were still safe, but the two eavesdroppers had no way to escape. The numbers were still unclear but two Haxorus were standing behind Ryan and three behind Slade. Azery While James and Shade were taking a walk they could hear something behind them. “Gible Gible Gible!” If James would turn around he wouldn’t see anything, but the same thing happened over and over again, no matter how many times he turned around. Stratos Not far from where Mareek was, Alvin was sitting on the ground and seemed to explain something to Lana. The shy girl did nothing but nod. They weren’t very far from the pond, where Colin was studying Kingdra, and a playful Horsea saw the young students. It was curious as to what the boy standing alone was doing. After it observed Mareek for a little way, the little seahorse came to the conclusion he was waiting for someone to play with. “Seeeaa!” the little thing tried to grab Mareek’s attention and fired a water pulse in his way.

Catching a few ZZZ's is a killer. Time to mess around with some more Dragons.

Nope no caves around. And I was asked about catcing a Pokémon in Devin's garden: all dragon types belong to Devin. The wild ones around are things like Rattata, Pidgey, weak bug types, few grass types, ... I think it would be easier to catch another one in te Academy Forest in Chapter 3. From there on out I only have 2/3 more opportunities planned to catch Pokémon, so then everyone is free to catch a Pokémon whenever they want.

Evan walked away from his roommate who was all over a Kingdra that just popped up. He reached what looked like the edge of the battlefield, crossed it and found a small place with flowers. He decided to lie down against a tree since he had no idea if he even wanted a dragon. He closed his eyes for a few minutes, while Eevee and Cleffa were playing around, and when he opened them again he stared right into the eyes of a Dragonite.

No it doesn't. There is no cave and it would certainly be weird for a path to reach from the ground to a roof.

@Tses: I never said anything about a cave being there. And the Swablu on Devin's roof are too high to reach. (Plus no one can find eggs at this point) @Commander: Shiro and Danielle is one of the weirdest ships mentioned in this thread. And there were a lot of them.

Don't worry, I'll ship Danielle and Alvin soon enough And the Flygon is under Claude's control. It will fly to where he requests except if the request is to leave Devin's domain. By the way Tacos you never mentioned in your backstory that Wally was Ryan's father. I've no problems with it if it was a random name but don't give him a mega Gallade. It wasn't around back then and some mega's (ORAS in this case along some others) are still being discovered. Mega Salamence is one of them.

K_H and Tacos The Salamence turned its head when he heard the students talking. He let out a mighty roar and opened its wings; showing how big it actually was. Its full height reached easily 2 meters (6’7”). It then turned its attention to the berry and ate it out of Ryan’s hand carefully not to rip the boy’s arm off.

As Ezekiel managed to get into the house, he saw the entrance hall was completely empty. There were no other guards or staff and not even footprints could be heard indicating he walked into a trap. The only thing he had to decide right now was what he would steal. Would he take a painting? A vase? Or would he open up one of the doors?

I never thought I would see those words I hope he isn't scared of heights.

K_H and Tacos If Kenny followed Ryu’s description correctly, he would find out a Salamence was waiting for them down the road. It was eating berries in a more open spot and it’s back faced Ryu when the small Pokémon found him. Therefore Ryu completely missed it was bigger than any normal Salamence and it had a particular stone around its neck. A(n) (un)Lucky Elf Somehow Claude managed to tumble into the deepest pit he could find. It was filled with sand and the student tried to stop the tumbling by grabbing something to try and find some grip. He managed to grab something that looked like a green antennae and startled something that was hidden in the sand. Before Claude fully understood what was going on a Flygon emerged from the sand and started to fly higher and higher. It noticed a weird weight on its back and when it looked to see what the cause was; it found Claude. The Flygon let out a happy cry as it found a new friend to play with while rising even higher.

Like I would ever do that? xD All in due time. She comes along on the trip. Speaking of the trip I've decided to interfere. You can all pick rooms (4 person each) and I don't care much about that. As far as the groups go I'm splitting certain people up: - Kage and Ryan (Probably keeping Jacob separated from these two as well) - Evan and Colin - Mareek and Lana - Mareek and Slade - Danielle and Lana - Danielle, Slade and Jacob - Henry, Kenny, Shiro and Robert Those people are way too close with each other and I want to see some different interactions.

Yeah well apparently Bibs is really busy. I haven't seen him around in days so... Snap get a move on! Now that Notus is away for a few days I might abuse my host role and throw Colin in there just for fun.

You! Get inside that house already and make stuff happen! I'm kinda feeling I'm letting RoG miss everything at this rate...

Follow the path and find out. And I'm still waiting for someone to fall into one of the holes

Sooner or later I want a list of all your potential shippings xD So far I know about Kage x Ryan and Danielle x Everyone. And I forgot about Lana x Mareek...

K_H and Tacos While Ryan decided to enter the forest he could see something that was used as a path almost next to him. Kenny wasn’t sitting very far from it and only had to look at his right to see Ryan’s shadow. If both students watched the path closely, they could see it had many different directions, probably caused by Devin and his Dragons, and one of them had a pair of clear footprints. Something passed by not long ago and went deeper into the forest. But something was off. All prints were identical but stood very closely to each other like the Pokémon had more than two feet. On both sides of the small path were parts of twigs and leaves. Whatever made those footprints was obviously really big.

Why am I not surprised at this? Oh and you can't catch a Pokémon yet. All dragons there belong to Devin and most wild Pokémon are things like Rattata and other Pokémon you find early in game (all of them under lvl 10). On the trip are many more Pokémon and they are higher leveled as well.

Have some fun in Jurassic Park Devin's garden. I've some things planned but mostly you can say what species you want to see. And Notus, I'll control Colin for now but I prefer to do as little with him as possible. I'll let him study some Kingdra's of course.

October 7; 9.23 AM After 15 minutes in the bus the students arrived at Devin’s home. Apparently he chose to live just outside of a small village; close to the Southern Forest and some small hills. The street he lived in was rather empty. His house was the first one with only two more visible in the distance. A small wooden fence was placed to indicate Devin’s territory. His house was made out of the same material; wood. It was rather unclear which species of wood was used but it was apparent Devin and some potential help, like Tyron, made it themselves. The house contained two floors and the roof was built in a point. On the first floor one big window was visible with a smaller one above indicating where the second floor started. The door was painted in an earthy green color, just like the roof. It was clear Devin didn’t waste any money on fancy houses. “This way,” Devin said while holding the fence open. He ignored his house for now and didn’t say anything about it. The students could see why he didn’t spend much on his house: most of his money was used for his garden. If they took the time to look out the windows of the bus, they would’ve already seen his domain was massive, but once they entered it they could see exactly how much ground Devin possessed. Devin Cadmus wasn’t much of a gardener, but his garden was as wide as two football (soccer) fields. The length was probably somewhere around 4 times that amount. The garden itself contained various flowers and trees and had a little wild life feeling to it. Apparently the only thing Devin did was take care of the weeds. A lot of different smaller wild Pokémon were running around. In the middle of the ‘mini-jungle’ was a path created. It split into different ways but Devin walked straight forward and took a left. If students looked at their right they could see the backdoor of the house that had the same color as the front door. Devin continued walking for half a minute and left the path. The students all followed him and gathered around what seemed to be a small pond. It looked a bit like a swimming pool but with more nature. Small rocks were gathered around, leaves were floating everywhere and small wild Pokémon were swimming. It was unclear how deep it was. Devin stopped next to it and waited for everyone to be gathered. “Alright as you can all see I made a small swimming pool here. This is where I’ll start the little tour as some Pokémon of the Kingdra evolution line life here.” He paused for a moment because he knew exactly what the students were looking at. Behind his back was a completely open area. It was completely destroyed like a ferocious battle had taken place only recently. The grass was burned, other areas were wet and muddy and rocks were laying everywhere in different shapes and sizes. If one crossed said battlefield they would enter a more dense area. While they just walked through an area that mostly contained flowers and a tree here and there, the area on the other side was the exact opposite. It looked like a small forest with little place to walk, but for now it was too far to have a clear vision. Some wild Swablu, 5 of them to be exact, and 2 Altaria flew over their heads as Devin started to talk again. “We will go over there in a few minutes. But first let me explain what’s going to happen. As you can see I’ve the perfect domain for dragon types. Most of them belong to me so it’s pointless in trying to capture them. You just saw some Swablu and Altaria fly over; they live on my house. You’ll see a lot of them during this trip. While this isn’t a trip to teach you all, I would advise you to be careful. I’ll let you lose in my garden so you are free to see what you want and meet various Dragons. The Kingdra line can mainly be found here, for those that are interested, while the others mainly live in that little forest over there. It’s almost 9.30 AM so meet me back at my house at 1 PM for lunch. I will be walking around and some of my oldest Pokémon are keeping an eye out just in case.” He took a step aside to let the students pass. “One more thing; I ordered my Pokémon to behave like their wild counter parts. While they are friendly and won’t attack, they will show you how their wild counterparts behave. Take a good look and observe!” ((Welcome to Jurassic Park!)) ((I forgot to mention to watch out once you reach the battlefield. It's invisible from where the PCs are now but it's filled with holes as well. The ground is completely destroyed over there.))

I'll be moving forward to Devin's home ASAP. Btw: next battle that Slade's fighting is going to be against Evan. I received several complaints about the way he battles so one more bs move and Magnemite is gone. I was really hoping to avoid something like this. I was planning to let Evan fight against NPC's (Lana in this case) for reasons that fit the plot. This counts for everyone that uses the attitude: I can't lose because I don't want to / I want my PC to be the strongest. (Slade isn't the only one who battles like that) Just know if you use tactics like that you piss other people off and take away their fun.

Logan looked around him and analyzed the situation. “We’re on the same side here, no need to point those weapons at us,” he said. He called Ace back into the sphere and raised his hands.
