I really think I should appoint someone (or maybe two) to be co-mod, or at least control the NPCs and stuff while Im away. Starting monday, I will have hardly any time for computer, except maybe an hour or two on wednesdays. But I'll try to drop by OOC every day.

And apparently Im great at typing up a post, forgetting I forgot to hit the post button, and realize I didnt hit it 5 posts later.

Alina stared at the brawling boys for a moment, then teleported to grab both of them. "Are you going to save that for the battlefield, or would you rather die from exhaustion?" Alina growled menacingly, "Because if its the latter, youre NOT invited this time." She dropped the two, and turned to Lionel. "Here, catch." Alina tossed her remaining pokeball at him, "That's Emerald's flygon. She told me to lend it to you.

And please hold the posting until bibs/pineapple comes along.

Tami just stood there silently as the boys battled each other. Her shyness returned as usual, "U-um, what?" She opened her mouth to say more, but decided against it. Picking through the pile of weapons there, the girl was mildly disappointed by the selection. These are all old-old-old. There isnt a single gun or ANYTHING Im decent at using. Screw it, Im gonna die today. Literally. "Emerald told me to give you a pokemon. One's a flygon, the other's a roserade. Take your pick." Tami jumped at the voice behind her. "Oh, h-hi Ms. Alina." After a moment's thought, she replied, "I'll take the roserade, thanks."

Im heading off to bed, sorry

... More like fist to the face that can give you a bloody nose. And then beat the hell out of there to try and evade the guy you just punched. For some reason, all my friends have relatively abundant knowledge in hand-to-hand combat. I do too. But I'd rather not take my chances at school unlike my friends. even though im relatively sure the teachers wont notice unless i punch a guy in front of them

Hey, Jory, do you want to stick together for the rest of the dungeon? You know.. safety in numbers? though Alina's more likely to flee into water

As the light enveloped Alina, she closed her eyes. Not long after though, she had the impression that she was.. falling. Squinting to open her eyes a crack, the girl realized she was hurtling towards the ground like a meteor. Instinctively, she let out a scream, "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!" until she hit the ground with a thump, slightly shocked but uninjured. I'd best find out where I am right now, right? But when she unrolled her map, it looked immensely different. INstead of the map looking like an ACTUAL map, all it had was a small, rectangular box with two openings and a white dot, and the words "Treeshroud Forest" and "Floor 1" in the corner. Alina took a step toward one of the corridors. The dot moved a bit closer to one of the openings. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the map was a exact replica of the dungeon she was in -- on paper of course. A step later, and a red dot appeared as well. Glancing up, the girl-turned-mudkip realized it was an enemy -- and a rather large exegguttor at that. Being in the rather slow form of a mudkip, Alina frantically searched for a way to escape, until she spotted one thing: water. She made a beeline for it and dove in, shrugging aside the fact that she had no clue how to swim.

I can throw a pretty decent punch myself.

Yeah, and you just made me lol more. Oh, and I'd suggest you to give up because Tami knows nothin, nada, zeho, scat, goose egg about close combat. Like she cant even kick properly. And when she actually makes contact(rarity), she's more likely to fall over than injure the opponent. She's better at sniping something from a distance.

Nope not a time gear. But something of near equal importance and purpose. @ absol The gates arent locked. unlike in seacrest Go ahead and barge in. everyone does that there.

Some of my plans I'd like to share.. At the end of treeshroud forest, Forrest is there training with Lamina. If youre not already with the castle, they'll take you there to join At the end of Mt. Horn, literally IS Tempest castle. The castle is built at a location that you dont have to travel very far to get to the dungeon, and once you clear it literally loops you back to the castle. Draconis is at the end of Brine cave, and slightly disses you for not being faster. He already beat the outlaw they were supposed to catch. At the end of crystal caves... SPOILER ALERT

"What's your name anyways? You seem nice. And don't feel bad about beating up my apprentice here. I'm sure he'll be fine. It builds character." "Tamira, but call me Tami." The girl seemed a bit less unsettled this time. "O-okay, here goes nothing.." She swung out an unbalanced kick at Jake's knee, and instinctively closed her eyes as she braced for impact. ~~ "You know, there was a point in time when I really thought we were done with all this." "You can call me naive, but I still dont see the point to all this drama and violence. I dont even know how the h*ll all this started." Alina raised her hand and called her sword to her, a slightly ornate, slightly curved and lightweight sword that was custom forged for her. The scraping sound it made was almost nostalgic as she slid the blade out of its sheathe. She ran her fingers across the blade, silently checking for deficiencies. When she was satisfied, the girl straightened and said, "You know, you still have a couple of minutes to get ready instead of staring at me inspect my weapon."

Considering the size of the pixel, I doubt I'd be able to add many of those details. Honesty absol, you make me LOL when youre not trying to joke.

Through the chaos and the elbows of the crowd, Grace managed to reach her friends. "Hey, sorry 'bout that, did you miss me? Just had to write everything down," the girl grinned, happy-go-lucky as usual. "You know, I bet whatever our second test was, I bet it has something to do with that whole stash of weapons on that table. Think its okay to grab a few? Be right back." WIthout waiting for an answer to her question, she slipped through the thinning crowd and came back with several throwing knives. "What? Never hurts to be too prepared!" ~~ Tami looked around frantically as everyone started to leave. A knot of students was forming on one side of the gym, so she thought it would be a good idea to join them. "H-hi, can I join you guys? S-sorry, but not exactly that st-strong in close range combat," she half muttered, half thought the words shyly. The teens seemed to be pretty close, and the only other girl there was flipping a knife casually. There's no way Im going to fit in here.. But at least I have a smaller chance of getting killed. ~~ There they are. Alina picked her way through the remains of the crowd, and tapped Lionel and Tami on the shoulder. "Hey, Emerald told me to give you two each a pokemon, so take your pick." She held out two pokeballs, one in each hand. "One has a roserade, the other has a flygon. Your choice. But dont take too long because I dont have the time to wait for you to consider your choice." A moment later, Sonny approached her looking a bit unsure. "Alina, what do you need me to do?" "If Lydia doest want you, then you can come with me."

//excuse the minor bunnying// Alina held up three fingers, then two, then one. As she lowered the last finger, the three pokemon each shot out their attacks, and merged into a beam of sharp leaves propelled by hypercharged water. Unfortunately, just as the pokemon could see her countdown, the acolytes could as well, and two were able to mostly avoid the attack . Above the chaos of the previous attack, one of the acolytes ordered, "Claydol, Rock tomb!" "RUN!" the girl screamed, as rocks rained down from the ... ceiling.

Yes. The overly large bold text has disappeared.

What does it look like? Not guaranteeing anything btw. I still have like 2+ months backlog of art orders. Oh, and I completely LOL'd at your post.

oh, and GO WILD

Lemme clarify on everything. To start off, you can have all moves you can learn up to level 5, one move of your pokemon's type in your pokemon's moveset, and one egg move. Move relearning gets you any move you have previously learned(including TM/HM but not unobtainable), and any egg moves possible. those playing original pokemon characters can have one linked move. You can only have 16 moves IF you have 4 moves in each link. Each linked move takes up one move slot. You cannot have exclusive moves. Yeah, I kinda broke that rule already Trained moves are moves with additional effects (for example, leech seed with an additional poison effect. You can only have ONE trained/unobtainable/HM move per pokemon. HMs: Flash: brightens up the floor/decrease accuracy Cut: opens up a tree tile/deal damage Rock smash: opens up a rock tile/deal damage Fly: walk on air tiles/deal damage rock climb: walk on rock tiles surf: walk on water tiles/deal damage Defog: blow away foggy weather/decrease evasion

//took me long enough, huh?// Alina's figure faded in a flurry of leaves once she noticed Sonny in the corner. When the two boys left, she reappeared behind him. "Hey. Tell you something, screw the tests, Emerald just gave me orders to pass everyone in this year's class." When she was sure pretty much everyone had filtered in, the girl took a deep breath, and sighed. She wasnt too sure how to put everything in words. All eyes were staring at her expectingly. But when she opened her mouth to announce the changes, a guard burst in, looking panicked. "M-miss Alina! We got word from Emerald that there were new recruits coming, so we opened up the barrier. Well the first thing we saw was the ship getting attacked!" "How many?" Alina questioned, her voice full of authority. "W-we saw five jump in from a smaller boat, but there may be more" "Tch" That really puts us on a tight schedule. Alina turned to the audience. "Due to a change in circumstances... We are going to skip the rest of the exams. I have orders to teach you all the forbidden spell: Blood Sealing, and to pass all of you this year. Blood sealing is a forbidden spell because the seal can only be undone or temporarily opened by the main caster's blood, hence its name. Which therefore means if the caster dies, there is no way to reopen it. It is probably our most secure sealing spell. Its barrier cannot be destroyed by any means, however a single caster's barrier only covers a limited area, thus the need for many people. It also cannot be seen except by those who cast the spell." She paused for a moment, to recall the incantation, and to let the audience absorb the information. "Casting this spell is fairly simple. Supporters only need to form a circle with all the others. Only those assigned to be able to unlock it can say the incantation. Generally, the more people we have, the less secure, but there's also backup in case one dies. We usually do two, or three people, placed optimally at opposite sides of the circle, or forming an equilateral triangle. Now, the incantation should be easy if you know latin and japanese, if not, well, just hope youre never picked. Spiritus vitae caeli et terrae Watashi no ketsueki o kaishite kono ji o shiru!" Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Grace furiously scribbling the incantation on the back of her hand. Dont worry about that now, I'll tell you guys again later, she promised telepathically. "Okay, I hope youre all rested and ready, because we're moving out NOW. I'll give you 15 minutes, meet me at the port then," Alina growled through gritted teeth. The look on Alina's face showed her anger as clear as day as she walked toward the group of guards in the corner. She was no longer nervous about taking control; there was confidence and authority in her voice as she handed out orders like flyers. "RYAN! Take your team and secure the village. Lydia, Shimmer, take a couple of people and wrap around the side for a sneak attack. Im taking the students and a couple of others along for a frontal assault."

Unlim. 1 HM,unobtainable, or per pokemon.
