Why don't you two just settle this despute by testing both theories on the server? oh wait... Mega altaria probably isn't implemented in the simulator yet... NVM

that's fine. I'll have Clemont get you back to the gates later on.

I'll figure out some way to handle Trade Based Evos. most likely it'll be changed to Friendship based evolution

Thing is, I said that a pokemon can know any move in their entire arsenal without limiting it to four/ to the level requirement, so long as it made sense for them to know that move at that point in their development and people don't abuse it. and this is an Alpha Gyarados we're talking about. it's smarter and more deadly than the rest of it's kind, and can develop far more quickly.... it can easily figure out how to use all kinds of nasty moves...like Ice Fang (and Aqua tail...) :Kappa:

Of course, that's why I edited "Ice Fang" into that post as well :Kappa:

It would be an even bigger shame if that Gyarados were to learn the move Earthquake & was far faster than anything anyone has at this point... and if it were to know the move Ice Fang... :Kappa: And all those things are likely to occur...

ENYO "Back it up," Enyo snarled. Before her stood a group of large Bird GAOs that had gotten a bit too close for comfort, they had just swooped into her path from the canopy as she had been walking. they all eyed her ominously, creeping ever closer and ignoring her words. "I mean that," She continued, trying to maintain the forcefulness in her voice. But it was diminished a little when she glanced behind her and realized she had subconsciously began backing away from the group. They Vulture like birds continued to creep towards her, the red crests atop their heads blaring in high contrast with their brown feathers, They each opened their wings wide and held them at full length, then spreading out around her, as if to block her from escaping. "I won't tell you again," She warned. But she knew that these things probably didn't even understand english. There was no way she could hope to fight them all with her bare hands... but she'd still try, There was no way in hell she'd go out without a fight. She readied her fist, assuming a fighting stance she had learned early on during CQC training. The Vultures responded by backing up a little, somewhat discouraged now that they knew their prey intended to fight, It seemed that they preferred for their meals to not resist, that they preferred to not have to expend the energy of taking their prey down. and that was fitting, seeing as how they were probably scavengers, just like the old type of birds they resembled. This observation gave Enyo another advantage... she might be able to take them on afterall, if they were driven to actively hunt instead of simply scavenge off of the meals of larger predators, then all four of them must've been starving... or at the very least, weakened for hunger. It also up the danger of the situation. A starving animal was a desperate animal. these things proved as much, taking the risk of confronting their target like this, even if they were in a group and she was outnumbered. She took a bold step forward, only to be forced back as one of the GAOs rushed forward, buffeting it's wings and pecking at her until she retreated back to her previous spot. "Looks like things are going to get interesting," Enyo muttered. "But I'm going to be the only one walking away from here." Her Eyes scanned the ground around her as she spoke, looking for a decent sized stone to use as a weapon. she had a plan to easily deal with all four of these feathered bastards... all by taking advantage of how desperate they were about keeping her from getting away. ERICK Erick stood behind a wide tree, peering out at the situation just a few meters away. it seemed that Enyo had gotten into a bit of tense situation, Four Fearows baring down on her, about to attack at any moment now. He had taken a short walk after he'd finished at the lake, and had heard a commotion off in the distance... and he had found none other than the Lone Wolf of the Squad, pinned into a corner. He honestly wanted to help her, but knowing Greyjoy, she'd raise hell afterwards if Erick did something to directly intervene in the situation. He glanced around the woods around him, trying to find some way he could end this discretely, before it could escalate any more than it already had. He knew he was running out of time when he saw Enyo take a basic fighting stance and raise her fist. "She doesn't have anything with her," Genisa spoke into his mind. He could see that her eyes were blazing scarlet, as if she was trying to scry the situation to find the best course of action. "What are you talking about?" Erick asked in reponse, again wishing that he had the M-11 still with him as he failed to think of anyway he could break this up without being noticed. "Her Capsules are both gone, She has no Partners with her". she explained to him as she glanced at the new capsule on his belt "In other words, she's completely unarmed except for her fist." Erick followed her line of sight and stared down at the capsule containing the fish he had captured at the lake. "I'm guessing you're going to suggest we give the fish to her?" he inquired, hitting the nail on the head when Genisa simply nodded. "Fine... Not like there's any other way we can help that won't get her pissed off..." with that said, He reached down and detached the sphere from the magnetic holding slot on his uniforms belt, tapping the trigger and expanding it to full size. a second later, the Capsule was flying through the air, soaring over the Fearows' heads and landing at Enyo's feet. "Thought I'd level the playing field a little," Erick called out, catching the young woman's attention "Four on one isn't right... so at least now it can be four on two." He then turned around and started again going about his way. "Aren't We're going to stay to make sure she gets out of this alright?" Genisa protested. in his mind Erick could sense that she was genuinely concerned about the young woman's safety right now. "Relax," he began. "We don't need to, Clemont's watching things, after all. If shit hits the fan, he'll step in to save her, I'm sure." Genisa still wasn't sold on that idea however. to her it just seemed plain wrong that they would leave Enyo to deal with this on her own. That was just one of the things that once being a human had made different about her from other GAOs; she had a sense of right and wrong, she could feel guilt. "Leave no Man Behind." she uttered suddenly "What?" "Leave no man behind... that's one of the things your always preaching about, isn't it? how no one on the team should be left on thier own out in the field of operations?" "Yeah... and to clarify, I don't 'Preach' about it, I just make sure to put some emphasis on the concept whenever it's needed" "So why are you so prepared to do the exact opposite of that and leave her here? isn't she a part of the Team?" Erick simply glared at the young Kirlia at that remark. he was beginning to get annoyed with this little debate. "In case you haven't noti..." he began his retort, his voice trailing off as he saw what was going on with the situation with Enyo. Genisa noticed him staring and followed his line of sight, taking a tentative step backwards in fear as she saw what had made him go silent all of a sudden. The broken bodies of the Bird GAOs were scattered haphazardly around the clearing... and floating about a foot above the ground in front of Enyo was something that looked like a Sea Monster. ENYO "That was Impressive..." Enyo admitted as she gazed up at the Serpentine creature before her. she had used the GAO in the capsule that Erick thrown to her. She was not pleased when she first saw it, the thing had looked like a wall eyed fish. it couldn't have possibly been that powerful from the way it appeared. But she'd been proven wrong about that evaluation not once, but twice in just the last five minutes. the first time had been when the Fish had dodged when one of the birds had rushed forward striking repeatedly with it's beak by leaping high into the air and then countering by shooting some sphere of black energy at it, which had hit the aggressor spot on and sent it retreating, thoroughly deterred. The second time had been when Another bird had rushed forward and struck the fish with a glowing wing, sending it flying into a nearby tree. but that had only seemed to piss it off, and a moment later it's entire body had started glowing and it had entered into metamorphosis... and turned into the thing now gazing down at her with a pair of angry, sulfuric yellow eyes. but that was just the beginning, after it had transformed, and without having to be ordered to attack, it had condensed the moisture in the air around it's tail and formed a spiraling stream of water around there, then had slammed it into the advancing birds and sent them flying through the air, their feathers soaking wet from the attack. it had taken them all out with a single blow. Now that... that was real power, and Enyo had no intention of returning this thing to Erick. She began thinking about how she could get away with this GAO in possession as she held up the capsule for it and recalled the sea serpent to it's place. That's when she noticed Erick and his GAO partner, something called a Kirlia, standing there, staring at her. "I guess I should thank you for helping me." she said, genuinely feeling some gratitude towards Erick. The young man seemed to be surprised by her words, as if he had been expected her to say something very different. "Uh... no problem..." He responded, scratching his head a little. Enyo could tell that he was now re-evaluating something in his mind... probably her personality. then she recalled that over the past few months, there had been several times when someone on the Squad had tried to help her with something, she had angrily told them to scram. that was probably what Erick had been expecting her to do now. "You...you can keep that fish... by the way." he finally manage to get out. Enyo stared at him... this had to be too good to be true... Him actually giving this thing to her to keep. He had to have some ulterior motive for this... "What do you want?" She snarled partially in disgust, imagining all the things that could possibly be going through Erick's mind right now... if he was anything like his friend Clint... "Whoa, whoa..." Erick replied by raising his hands up defensively. "Who said I wanted anything from you?" She stopped in her tracks at that remark, remembering that Erick was one of the morally right Boy Scouts of the group, the Golden Boy on the team in the eyes of all their superiors, and only partially because of his skill, the rest because of who is father had been. "Sorry about assuming that then..." she said, rather grudgingly though... "It's no problem...," Erick answered "I just gave it to you since... well since you don't have anything else with you." Enyo's eyes lit up with suspicion at those words. she hadn't spoken of the issue of Absinthe and Bourbon being missing to anyone, so there was no way Erick could've possibly known about it. ​ "where'd you get this information" She demanded suddenly, crossing her arms and glaring at him, ready to scrutinize any answer he might give, but the response to her question didn't come as she expected it to. "I sensed that your partners were gone and told him" Genisa answered in her mind. Enyo was startled for a moment until she realized that it was Erick's GAO that had sent the telepathic message. she just stood there, unable to think of something to reply with, a long silence beginning to form. "Well..." Erick began finally, breaking the lack of sound that had been dragging on. "I guess I still need another new Partner to make up for the one I gave you, so I'd better get to looking again..." he directed his gaze to his Partner. "Genisa," he began "care to save us the trouble of walking?" As soon as he made the Request, both he and his Kirlia dissapeared in a flicker of white, leaving Enyo standing there alone, the capsule for the fish...no, the sea serpent, in her hand. As she stood there, she couldn't help but notice the fact that Erick had called his Kirlia something different then the name he always used when addressing her... hadn't he named her 'Virtue' when he first got her? so what was with the sudden usage of the name 'Genisa'? oh well... it wasn't important right now. what was however, was that Enyo began searching for more members to again fill her party, and so she turned around and continued her trek into the Forest, pushing her way deeper and deeper into the dense underbrush.

Never. but only because I've got far more important goals and shit to pursue. Do you dabble in the Occult?

Yeah... the Trainer card generator is dead for now. But welcome to the Community. Hop on the Server sometime, it's the main stable of Reborn. Abandon your sanity at the door and what not... alright, enough with that, I'm just gonna get down to what I want to say to you and let the others pick up for telling you about the other stuff: If you're interested in writing,or if you're ever just plain board and looking for something to read, why not stop by the Role Playing forums here sometime? We're all friendly there... mostly.

That Karp...is not like others of it's species... (It's more intelligent than the average magickarp and also far more agressive... in other words, it's pretty much an Alpha Male) Enyo will find quite the challenge when it evolves into a Gyarados... all hell may break loose For now... let's just say it will make Absinthe's defiant nature look like nothing in comparison...

And enyos going to be the one to train it... (O.0)

I'd like to resind my proposal for Alakazambot in substitution for Dragon-Rage Magickarpbot. Spammers will feel the wrath...

ERICK Erick stood there silently as his Beldum hovered out to the center of the serene lake. He had gotten Genisa to teleport the three of them out here as soon as everyone else had started taking off into the woods. needless to say, It had saved him a hell of a lot of time getting all the way out here. he'd heard about this lake a few times in the past few months, heard that apparently there was some type of special fish living here... though as to what made it "Special" he hadn't the slightest idea. "Good," he called out. Beldum had finally finished calculating the exact center point of the lake. "Now you know what to do." No sooner than the words had left his mouth did the GAO turn it's cylindrical body vertically and begin to rotate, quickly gaining sizable speed, and increasing still. Within seconds, the thing's features became a mere blur as a crackling sound filled the air and hot sparks of electricity began to flare off, filling the surrounding air with dense Static. "Fire!" Erick Ordered. The Beldum obeyed, firing the electric charge it had been generating with it's Electro-magnetic fields downwards into the surface of the crystal clear waters in an intense flash of golden light. Erick and Genisa both shielded their Eyes with their hands and took a few steps back, only taking them away when the glow died down from it's initial intensity. It was still there however, but Erick now realized that it wasn't beldum who gave off the light, but the lake itself. A sharp and loud series Pops and Crackles filled the air as a the Lake's face rippled and sloshed, completely ravaged by the power of the attack. a few moments later, the glow finally faded and the lake again sat calm... calm except for the fact that the bodies of several seemingly dead fish GAOs now began breaking the surface. "I think..." Erick began, sighing. "that we may have just gone a bit overboard..." None of them is dead. Genisa blurted into his mind. as if on cue, several of the bodies began to move and spasm, sinking back into the depths of the lake. It seemed the attack Beldum had used was intended to stun instead of cause damage. "Then maybe we're not totally screwed." Erick replied. He heard something flopping at his feet, bringing his eyes down to find just the type of fish he was looking for. It matched what he had heard exactly: Fiery orange scales, White fins, wall eyes, and a pair of catfish like yellow whiskers. He reached into his belt,moving to retreiving one of the empty capsules, and the moment he'd taken his eyes of the fish, it had rolled itself to sit upright on the lake shore. Erick finally managed to find the sphere, bringing his attention back to the fish, who now stared at him and Genisa a bit menacingly. Surprisingly, it no longer had that un-intelligent, wall eyed stare from before. "What?" Erick asked the fish mockingly. "You gonna do something, buddy?" in response the fish simply bounced around on the sand a few times, which did absolutely nothing at all. "That's what I thought." Erick continued, smirking now. he tapped the trigger of the capsule in his hand, bringing it to full size and reeling his arm back, preparing to throw it at the Aquatic GAO before him. Before he could move another inch, however, the Fish leapt up in the air higher than he was tall, a sphere of dark blue, crackling energy firing from it's mouth, heading right for him. "Shit..." the young soldier under his breath, reaching into the pocket inside his uniform's jacket and feeling for the M-11 he'd stowed there earlier, only to remember as the sphere hurtled closer and closer to him that Clemont had taken it away. he gritted his teeth as he brought up his hands, preparing to shield his body from the blast he knew was imminent. he closed his eyes as the light of the sphere grew to a blinding intensity... and he kept them shut for several seconds... and several seconds more... and several more after that. He finally forced himself to open them again, wondering why the attack hadn't landed. He saw standing before him... None other than Genisa, her arms outstretched and her eye's blazing Scarlet, sustaining a thick telekinetic barrier as the remnants of the attack faded into the air, sparks of energy still flaring up here and there. the smoke cleared, and the Fish was still sitting there, glaring at the two of them. Erick wasn't smirking anymore... he had to admit, he'd thought this thing to be pathetic when it had been just splashing on the ground... but now, after seeing it use an attack like that... "Hypnotized that Fishy bastard!" He ordered Genisa, a bit harsher than he had intended to. She paid no mind to the tone of his voice, however, as her eyes maintained their scarlet illumination and she sent a hypnotic suggestion into the mind of the opposing GAO. There was resistance at first, more than she thought there would be, but she honed her concentration to a razor edge and the suggestion cut right through the mental wall that the Fish had been putting up. several seconds later, the Thing was still fighting against the influence in it's mind, but it was visibly losing, it's eyes eventually shutting as the fish rolled over to it's side and began snoring fitfully. Erick brought up the Capsule again, reeling his arm back and aiming carefully, he had the feeling he'd need to get this down with... that thing seemed to still be fighting against the induced slumber. He released the sphere into the air, watching as the thing flew in an arc and landed atop the Fish and bounced off, hinging open and blasting forth a torrent of light, breaking down the GAO into energy and then sucking it into the center of the capsule, promptly snapping shut and beginning to wobble on the ground. after about a minute, it sat still. "Beldum, to me!" he called, kneeling down and retrieving the newly captured GAO's capsule. "We're done here." The Metallic Creature obeyed it's master's orders without question, hovering from out over the lake back towards the shore line.

that's fine.

I'll get around to moving Ethic through the portal later on today...

and as a note, By "Common Species" I mean species you would typically see early on in any of the games (FR/LG, G/S, R/S/E, D/P, B/W). and by "Early on" I mean during the time between you starting the adventure and you obtaining your first gym badge. so things like Mankey and Pidgey and Tailow and Wurmple and Slackoff and Kricketot and Pidove and... well the list could go on. you get what I mean

I've got 78 hours on my main save file at the end of episode 12. out of that 78, probably ten to eighteen hours where spent training up weaker/ new team members, breeding for duplicate mons, screwing around and doing some very interesting things with the scripts using Gemini , and raising money every now and again, all the other hours were spent on side quest, exploring, or advancing the main story. so I'm gonna go with between 60-65 hours for a casual play-through in the current episode.

in this RP, You all will for the most part control the wild pokemon your characters encounter. this leads to less work for me. that said though, there might be cases from time to time when I throw stuff at one of you in the story invovling a Wild GAO. if that happens, and when it does, you'll know because I will have been the one to initiate the encounter, then I'll be the one controling it as the GAO would then fall into the NPC category instead of the random entity category

There's no character named "Ethic" in this RP. You mean "Erick" And I guess we can have it so that he could wander off with Sid and end up with him at the lake. (though right now he doesn't really have anything in mind as to what he's looking to capture.) Enyo will probably be around the area too. as for the dragon scale... sure, you can find it lying on the shore or something. but remember, you still have an entire evolution before your Horsea can become eligible to become a Kingdra...

Here's a few Geographic pointers for those who may need it... most of you will have to walk through a lot of underbrush to find what you're looking for... not really a lot of trails in this forest. MURDOC; TYPHLOSION: (In case you decide to get a Croagunk) FLUX: There may or may not be a map for the woods. seeing as how now I've pretty much removed the need for it since Clemont will be watching everyone and can teleport them back if they get too lost.
