Rino woke up not even five minutes later to the loud Roar of a pokemon. Even with his headphones on, the fear-inducing cry of the beast pierced his eardrums. Startled by the sound he and his Ralts fell off the tree they were in. "Tenshi!" Rino caught Tenshi in midair and with less than a fraction of a second to spare, readjusted himself to land on his feet. He looked up to see that there were four trainers now. One was a tall, orange-haired man who was probably the one in the tent as he was holding a sleeping bag. The other was a girl with flowing blonde hair with a Deino by her side. They turned their attention away from the fleeing murder of Murkrows when they heard the crash behind them. I should run before they approach me, Rino thought. He turned to run in the other direction, but immediately fell down and felt a surge of pain run through his right leg. He had sprained his ankle on the landing after all. Rino turned around again to face the trainers. Taking off his headphones, he was about to ask for help, but old habits kicked in. He took out his pokedex and scanned the blue dragon then called Tenshi. "I want to battle Garchomp."

Caduceus

I feel like that's me now

After wandering for a while, trying to decide whether to go back to New Bark Town or go on to Cherrygrove City, Rino decided to rest under a nearby tree. "I can't believe I walked the same stretch of road back and forth for that long, just to end up where I started..." Rino sighed in exasperation at himself as he let Ralts and Budew out of their Pokeballs. "Sorry for not being able to get you guys to a Pokemon Center, there was a sudden change in plans... And a couple more sudden changes after that. How are you two doing?" "Bud Budew..." Budew was able to talk at last, but it still had a pained look on its face. Tenshi did not utter a sound and instead looked up to the tree they were under and pointed at the blue, round items on its leaves. "Are those... Oran Berries?" Rino climbed the tree to retrieve the fruit and to his luck, there were three Oran Berries. "They are! That's great, now I don't have to go back to that boring town or rush ahead. Here you go Budew, Tenshi. I think I'll save this last one for later." Rino handed a berry to Tenshi and held one up to Budew's mouth. As Budew ate the Oran Berry, it lost it's weak look and happily cried, "Budew!" "Good for you Budew, are you ready to go now?" Budew stood up quickly and used Growth to appear larger. "Budew!" "Another show off, huh? I think you and Tenshi will get along just fine. What do you think Tenshi?" Ralts was just finishing the berry he was given. "He seems different from the others. I like him, but he won't be hearing this." Ralts sent his thoughts to Rino, who chuckled in accordance. "Hearing your voice in my head again, must mean you're ready to go, too, so come on!" Rino stood up and put the remaining Oran Berry in his bag as he resumed walking down the road. On the way, he noticed a couple of trainers. Ahead of him was a person wearing a lab coat with a Riolu. Rino thought about catching up and scanning it with the Pokedex, but that meant social interaction, so instead he slowed his pace. Some other time, a girl was coming up from behind and Rino hid in the trees as he watched the silver haired trainer passed by. She seemed like she was running away from something or someone. At one point, a battle could be heard in the vicinity, so Rino checked it out, to see a girl in a red dress and her Turtwig rejoicing over defeating a Pansage. Looks like I missed it, Rino thought, as he turned back and went on his way. Dusk soon approached, and Rino saw a small light in the surrounding area. There was a small campfire in a clearing and a man with dark blonde hair sleeping next to it. A few yards away, a tent was set up. "It's getting late Tenshi, I think we should stay near that fire and hope the Murkrow from earlier stays away. If you want, I could return you to your Pokeball like Budew." "Staying close to others is a good idea. I prefer to stay outside." "Alright buddy, whatever you want." Rino was careful not to wake up the other people and crept over to the largest tree nearby. He climbed it with difficulty, trying not to make any loud noise by breaking a branch and laid on one facing opposite the campfire. Ralts followed suit on the branch above. After a few minutes, both trainer and pokemon were sound asleep. In the middle of the night, the snap of a twig was heard. Rino, still cautious of the Murkrow, opened his eyes instantly. He looked around and the only new thing was a girl approaching the campsite holding a teddy bear in front of her face. The other trainer woke up slowly and revealed to have a Minccino with him. The two conversed for a bit before the owner of the campfire showed hospitality to the girl. Awkward social interaction. Must be nice, Rino thought, as he went back to sleep, seeing no trouble has occurred.

Can people have the same starter? Sorry I changed mine after I posted, but if it's fine with OP then go for it. Also I feel like I'm being a Mary Sue by giving it the ability to speak through telepathy even though it makes sense.

Euphorism mixed two words Euphemism

Having my team seemed out of character so I'll move it here instead.

Super Smash Bros 9/10 would be 10 but it reminds me that it's not out yet qq I should also get a Wii U by the time it does

"Rin-chan! Wake up Rin-chan, you baka! You're turning 18 today and you can finally leave this ratchet dump they call an orphanage, but you're just going to oversleep like you always do? Wake up!" A tired looking Rino Kasari opened his purple eyes to the short, 14 year old brunette with green eyes, a ponytail, and an annoyed expression on her face. "I'm awake Sophie, get off me." The girl jumped off the bed as Rino stood up to stretch. "Is that any way to treat someone on their birthday? Especially someone who knows your sweet spots?" Rino remarked. "Pfft. You don't know my swee- Aaah! No, Sto- hahaa! I said cut it out, I'm sorry!" Sophie was hyperventilating after having her sides tickled. "You know, you're right. I should've woken up earlier and ditched this place. I have to pick up my first Pokemon at Elm's lab today, too." Sophie made a sad look. "You would have left without saying good bye?" Rino sighed. "You know I'm terrible at goodbyes. Even worse with hellos. You're the only person here I've ever felt comfortable being with, and now look, I'm leaving. I'll be sure to keep in touch. You are practically my little sister, and I can't have you worrying now can I?" After a moment of silence Sophie asked, "Can I at least walk with you to the lab?" Rino replied, "You know the rules Soph, only an official caretaker can take you out of this place at any time. Besides, that Doc Sigmund is visiting tomorrow for the annual orphanage check up, you better prepare your body~" Sophia shivered at the thought of having a shocking fun time again that Rino never seemed to mind. "Well, cya runt! I'm off to take on the world, and nothing can stop me!" Rino put on a dark blue jacket over his yellow shirt and ran his hand through his messy blond hair. He strapped on the purple PokeGear he chose at the age of 13, when all orphans were given one. As Rino was about to exit the building, Sophie exclaimed, "Wait! Aren't you forgetting something?" Sophie pulled from behind her back a pair of Beats by Drayden and handed them to Rino. He took them with a smile and said, "I would never forget these, I was just on my way to take them back from the office after that bastard Orderly John confiscated them. Thanks for saving me the trouble Soph, love ya!" With that, he took off for Professor Elm's Lab on the other side of town. "Don't forget my song, Rin-chan..." Sophie whispered solemnly as she watched her big brother figure disappear into the horizon. "Yo~ anybody in here?" Rino walked into the laboratory which had its doors left open. It was a cluttered place with desks full of stacks of paper, strange contraptions all around, numerous PCs, and a circular vending machine-looking device in the center of the room. Rino heard footsteps and looked behind him. "Welcome to my lab! Sorry about the mess, it's been a busy day, what with all the new trainers today." The scrawny looking man with a lab coat and glasses introduced himself to be Professor Elm. "You must be another new trainer. Seeing all these youngsters starting their Pokemon journeys makes me feel older than I really am haha! Sorry for rambling on, but may I inquire your name?" Rino took another look around. "It's Rino. Rino Kasari. I came from the Reborn Orphanage on the other side of town, and I'm not exactly a youngster, as I turn 18 today." "Very well then Rino! Are you ready to start your Pokemon adventure? Of course you are, so pick a Pokemon, any Pokemon!" Elm pressed a button on the vending machine thing and a couple of pokeballs came out. One by one he let out the Pokemon, but the one that caught Rino's eye was a short, white Pokemon with what looked to be a green cap and a red thing protruding from the top of it. It had a blank look on its face, but Rino could sense a feeling of superiority from it. "Ah, that's Ralts, the Feeling Pokemon. Is that the one you want?" Rino thought about it, then he heard a voice in his head. "If you want to pick me as your partner, you better be good." Rino was shocked but did not show it. "Yeah professor, I think I'll take him." Elm returned the Pokemon and gave Rino the pokeballs containing Ralts. "Nice choice! That Ralts is one of a kind, according to the person that gave him to me. Take these with you too." Elm gave Rino 5 pokeballs and a Pokedex. "Take good care of Ralts, you two are starting a new journey together so good luck!" Rino started walking out. "Thanks for everything Professor Elm," he yelled back as he left the lab. According to the map on the PokeGear, Route 29 was the way to the next city. So long New Bark Town, I won't miss you, Rino thought. He kept looking at the pokeball containing his Ralts. He was certain that the Pokemon had spoken in his mind earlier. Walking for a few minutes, Rino had reached the beginning of Route 29 and decided to look for a Pokemon for Ralts to battle. After some hunting, a wild Budew appeared! "Alright Ralts, let's see what you can do." Rino sent out Ralts. "Since this is my first battle with you trainer, I'll show you what I'm capable of without your commands." Rino was not mistaken, he had heard Ralts in the lab earlier. "According to this Pokedex, you have Telepathy as an ability which explains how you can communicate with me correct? Also, your moves are Growl, Confusion, Double Team, and... Shadow Sneak? What's that?" Ralts took a battle stance. "Just watch and learn." The wild Budew used Growth and began running towards Ralts in an attempt to use Absorb close range. However, Ralts used Double Team and the Budew hit a decoy! Ralts was behind Budew and used Confusion, knocking the Budew down. It was super effective, but Budew was able to stand. At this point Ralts was a distance away from Budew but suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to Budew to attack him! "So that must be Shadow Sneak, impressive," Rino said. The wild Budew was knocked out without even touching Ralts. "I thank your kind words, but I already know that." What an arrogant Pokemon, Rino thought. "I like you Ralts, I hope we can get along. How do you feel about the nickname Tenshi?" Ralts was amused. "It suits me well. I feel that you have potential as a trainer. Let us find some more opponents." After fighting a couple more Budews with ease, a wild Murkrow appeared! "Tenshi, I think we should run, this doesn't look good." Battle weary and fatigued, Tenshi still refused to back down. "Nonsense. I will fight on." Rino was about to run, but seeing how prideful Tenshi was, he let him fight. The outcome was obvious. Murkrow was immune to Confusion as a dark type, so all Tenshi could do was deceive it with Double Team and attack multiple times with Shadow Sneak. Murkrow was not fooled though, as it was a deceitful Pokemon itself. Murkrow knew which was the real Ralts and used Astonish which knocked Tenshi down but not out. "Tenshi!" Rino picked up a rock and threw it at Murkrow in an attempt to drive it away. One hit, and the Murkrow fled with an angered look. It's probably gonna come back later, Rino thought. "Are you alright buddy?" Tenshi got up. "That Murkrow was smart to flee before I recovered." Rino chuckled, "Whatever you say, but let's get you fully healed up somewhere." As they were exiting the route, Rino caught a glimpse of purple in the corner of his eye. He turned his attention to a Budew. It was a different color from the other Budew that Tenshi defeated. It was also injured. Rino ran to it and asked what was wrong. "Tenshi, can you communicate with other Pokemon with your Telepathy?" After a moment, Rino heard a voice in his head, "This Budew was attacked by a Murkrow, most likely the same one we faced earlier." Rino took a deep breath. "Why don't you come with me Budew and I'll get you all healed up too. You can also help us get revenge on that Murkrow, what do you say?" Budew attempted to respond, but was too injured. "Alright just relax, and rest in this pokeball." Rino took out an empty pokeball and tapped it on Budew. With three swerves and a click, Rino caught a shiny Budew! "Welcome to the party, friend," Rino whispered. "Looks like we have some more training to do if we want to beat that Murkrow, Tenshi. Let's go!" Tenshi nodded in approval. "How am I gonna get to a Pokemon Center if I'm attacked by more Pokemon though..."

Lackluster

If it's not too late to sign up then I guess I'll join with Rino and a Zorua as a starter. Scratch that, I think a Zorua might be too complicated for me, but a based Ralts would be perfect.

Name: Rino Kasari Appearance/Characteristics: 5'8", Blonde hair, Purple eyes, Headphones, basing it off of this: Birthday: August 5, 1996 Things To Know: Was sent away to an orphanage by his parents at birth, found with an mp3 player and a pair of headphones too big for him at the time. Grew up fighting with most of the other orphans and was often put isolated by the caretaker, even though that was his attempt at trying to make friends. Became calmer as a teenager, a fast learner, and relies on logic to solve things, but has trouble taking the initiative. Speedy and light-footed, but completely lazy. Loves a challenge that he can learn from and gain experience. Wants to develop a strong sense of friendship with the right person or people, but is scared that if he does, he might lose it eventually so generally avoids being more than close acquaintances with them. Always has headphone on listening to anything except country and ignores most people except the ones he finds interesting. Has grown accustomed to reading lips because of this. Usually patient, but quick to change his mind which can be bad or good depending on the situation. Not really masochistic, but enjoys pain to a certain point that his body has been used to handling.
