Agreed... But it's only fair we give lunar some time to respond

Welcome to Reborn ^^ I love writing/reading grimdark stuff :> Feel free to share your work! I wish I could draw, too :< as it is all I am is a barely talented writer >< more importantly, welcome, and I hope you enjoy your stay here at Reborn^^ Because you aren't getting out. Submit to "HER".

how does one expect unexpected things?

...Maybe. It depends on what everybody else does :>

I already have an explanation in mind. I've had one in mind for weeks xD

"Hey, you. Cheater. That Garchomp's not even yours, is it? I can smell someone else raised it. Why are you even on this journey if you won't even trust the furred ones around you to become strong enough?" A clear, high voice cuts through my miasma of discomfort. I turn to the source, trying to pinpoint the speaker and apologise, but all I see is an adorable little golden raccoon with zig-zagging white stripes. "That Garchomp respects someone other than you, someone a lot more tempered by experience. Can't humans get it through their thick skull? Pokémon aren't the only creatures that grow stronger as they gain experience. By this logic, they aren't even the only ones capable of supernatural phenomenon." ... ... ... ...Did the Zigzagoon just speak? "Wretched weakling. Pthoo." The Zigzagoon spits on the floor, glaring at me. The sight of such a cute Pokemon hating me so much makes me die a little inside. Still caught in the grip of surprise, I can only stare at the Zigzagoon, not able to speak. The Zigzagoon takes several steps forward, approaching Mimi. "Back me up here, Garchomp. You agree with me here, right?" "Gar!" Mimi angrily snaps her jaws at the Zigzagoon, growling slightly. I stroke her several times, causing her to revert to mewling contentedly. Odin stomps her foot in front of the Zigzagoon, blocking its advance. "You just listen right here. This Garchomp may not be hers, but it respects her and listens to her. It saved us from a murder of Murkrow. And even if it ain't hers, it still listens to her and respects her. It's none of your business - you don't even know her. And you think it's just perfectly fine to waltz up to her and criticize her? No, that's not happening. Cerberus, Dark Pulse!" Oh wow. Odin is defending me. My heart skips a beat. Her little Deino points its snout at the Zigzagoon, and black spheres start to form near its mouth. It's charging up an attack. A powerful one. That Zigzagoon might not survive it. That Zigzagoon might not survive it. That Zigzagoon might die. Might die. Die. A tombstone. A Vulpix in my arms, cool to the touch. Tears, falling from my eyes in abundance and without restraint. Eve, watching on behind me. Laying the Vulpix into the ground. Covering the hole. Crying. Crying. Crying. Using all my strength, I push off hard against Mimi, leaping over Odin's head and in front of the strange, talking Zigzagoon just as Odin's Deino attacks. The sphere of darkness enters my body, and all I can feel is a slight chill. Then it starts. Pain wracks my body, Sharp needles stab every nerve, every cell. I can vaguely feel my body convulsing, but the feeling is overshadowed by intense pain and intense...fear. Fear clouds my mind. Vivid images fill my vision. Eve, turning around and walking off, not once looking back at me. My mother, slowly plummeting through the air from the rooftop of Celedon Departmental Store. My father, looking at me with those forgiving eyes, with that sad glance. I see all these and more. I fall to my knees. I vaguely hear someone calling my name. I vaguely hear Mimi roaring in the background. I feel myself hitting the ground. Then I feel nothing.

I have PM'ed Lunar. If he doesn't post in the next two days, Alvin "Nocturne" Jones and his Volcarona shall be... Terminated.

If she wasn't born in a hospital, they would have no record of her birth. Therefore, they would not be out looking for her to recruit; indoctrination is only truly effective if done from birth. That said, the rest is plausible. Was just helping you flesh it out. A bit too late to include it now though xD

Her parents wouldn't have a choice, the acquisition is done from the moment of birth at the hospital.

...it's a matriarchy. What kind of advantage would a girl attain by acting as a boy? ._.

Hakuna, don't use so many ellipses (...) it makes it hard to read and looks like an artificial method of creating perceived mystery, which discredits your writing

Awwwww Odin's backing me up <3 thanks, hun <3 ...Well. I might have just made this story take a turn for the angsty. Sorry :x That's the kind of prose I'm more used to writing ><

I think a more eye-catching title would be a good start. "Poke-people RPG" provokes more of a "wtf" reaction than a "hmmmmm" one.

None planned in the story, unfortunately :/ I'm a Lesbian, see. I could try and hint at something between Lucas and the head of Team Dusk, but they're not as integral to the plot as the girl-girl pair I'm planning on. That said, it is mainly just overtones and implications. Nothing explicit, nothing naughty. Really just fluffy romance and stuff. It really just serves the role of a really convenient plot device. Feel free to ignore it if you wish.

Again, I am interested in playing Shimmer; never played a villain role before. That said, I'd rather not jump in on this until there's a higher level of interest.

Don't worry too much. There'll be plenty of girl-on-girl allusions later on in the story. And I mean PLENTY. Trust me on this one. Kaito can vouch for me.

All this needless antagonism might make Lucas angry. And trust me, you do NOT want Lucas to get angry.

Who's left? I'll send them a pm if they don't post in the next 24 hours
