Though this region hosts no native pokémon of it's own, it is home to pokémon from all other known regions. Due to this strange phenomenon it has attracted a large amount of attention from researchers and trainers alike. Boasting a booming economy and countless new towns Arcaia is the new frontier of the pokémon world. But strange rumors have been cropping up about some extremely aggressive pokémon. They have been said to attack unprovoked and to be terrorizing humans and pokémon alike. What is the cause of these strange rumors, and what does it mean for the region? Only time will tell.<br><br><hr><hr><hr><br><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>⊚Rules:</strong></span><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>⊚ General Rules:</strong></span><br><br><strong>⊚ Don't be and ass hat:</strong> This game is meant to be fun for all those involved. Regardless of whether your character is one or not does mean you don't have to be nice to your fellow players. Be courteous and kind and let's all just have a fantastic time okay? Okay. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧<br><br><strong>⊚ Real life comes first:</strong> Don't feel bad if life gets in the way of getting on. It happens. If you are going to be missing for an extended period please just let me know so we can find a way to move forward without cutting from the story so when you do come back you can hop right back in. ^^<br><br><strong>⊚ Have fun!! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧:</strong> That's the whole point of this thing right? If you're getting stressed out about the rp let me or your fellow players know. We want this to be fun, not worrisome or taxing. If something is bothering or troubling you I will do all I can to help fix it. All you need do is ask.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>⊚Posting rules:</strong></span><br><br><strong>⊚ Frequency:</strong> Nothing too outrageous, I know everyone here has lives and is busy. Just try posting something at least once a week, if you can manage more then that's fantastic. If that becomes an issue just let us know so we can work with you.<br><br><strong>⊚ Length:</strong> Nothing major , you don't need to post a novella every post. Just two solid paragraphs at least so people have something to work with for their response.<br><br><strong>⊚ Headers: </strong> Please use a header so we know where you are and who you are with. You can use the one posted below or if you feel like making your own prettier header be my guest. It's just an easy way to remember who is where and what pokémon you have.<br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>⊚Pokémon Battle System</strong></span><br><br>There will be two ways to determine the outcome of a battle.<br><br><strong>⊚ One:</strong> Those involved can simply decide amongst themselves who will win the fight. This is the easiest way to settle things. Play the battle out however you like and in the end whoever was decided to win will win, simple as that.<br><br><strong>⊚ Two:</strong> Each player will roll a dice. Highest roll wins. There are a few factors in play for what is rolled.<br>⊚ baby pokémon roll a d4<br>⊚ 1st form pokémon roll a d6<br>⊚ 2nd form pokémon roll a d8<br>⊚ 3rd form pokémon roll a d10<br>⊚ Mega-evolved pokémon roll a d12<br>⊚ Legendary pokémon roll a d20<br>⊚ If a pokémon's type is super effective against their opponent they get a +2. I.e. Squirtle vs charmander squirtle gets a +2 for being a water type fighting a fire type.<br>⊚ For pokémon that do not evolve or only evolve once I will assign you a dice to roll depending on how strong the pokémon should be. I.e. An Absol at the beginning of the game would have a d6. As the game progressed they would move up to a d8, the an d10.<br>⊚ In a team battle multiple pokémon attacking one target may combine their rolls.<br>⊚ Extra bonuses may be awarded by me. If I feel your pokémon has grown strong enough I will award them and extra +1. A Pokémon may receive multiple awards easing their rolls to +2, +3, etc.<br>⊚ This battle style only needs to be used if people do not wish to decide who will win before/during a battle.<br>⊚This is how gym battles will play out.<br>⊚ Use the dicebot for your rolls. When in a battle make sure to include the results in your post so we can see who rolled higher.<br>⊚ (These rules may be edited or added to if I see a need to do so.)<br><br><hr><hr><hr><br><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>⊚Header:</strong></span><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg)</div> <strong>Name:</strong> (your name)<br><strong>Location:</strong> (where you are)<br><strong>With:</strong> (who you are with)<br><strong>Notes:</strong> (anything extra you want to add)<br><strong>Pokémon:</strong> (names/nicknames)<br><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg)</div> <div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg)</div> <div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg)</div> <div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg)</div> <div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg)</div> <div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg)</div><br><hr><hr><hr><br><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=150 padding=5]http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg[/img][/floatleft] [color=color1][b]Name:[/b][/color] (your name)<br>[color=color2][b]Location:[/b][/color] (where you are)<br>[color=red][b]With:[/b][/color] (who you are with)<br>[b]Notes:[/b] (anything extra you want to add)<br>[color=slategray][b]Pokémon:[/b][/color] (names/nicknames)<br>[floatright][img height=75 padding=5]http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg[/img][/floatright] [floatright][img height=75 padding=5]http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg[/img][/floatright] [floatright][img height=75 padding=5]http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg[/img][/floatright] [floatright][img height=75 padding=5]http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg[/img][/floatright] [floatright][img height=75 padding=5]http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg[/img][/floatright] [floatright][img height=75 padding=5]http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg[/img][/floatright]<br><br>[hr]<br>[hr]<br>[hr]</code></pre><br><hr><br><span style="font-size: 36pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Wild Pokémon</strong></span><br><br>These are the pokémon that are around and can be encountered or caught in each location.

She had been aboard the luxury cruise liner for a couple of days now and she was just itching to get ashore. And sure enough, spread out before her was the sprawling sky line of their destination, Landing Port.&nbsp; It wasn't quite as big as other places they had stopped off in, like the sprawling metropolis of Goldenrod City, but it was impressive none the less. Different architectures from all the other regions were meshed together in this melting pot of a city. The view took Daniel's breath away. As she gripped the railing tighter in anticipation of the journey that lay ahead of her the ralts clinging to her neck shivered a little. <strong>"Aww, it's okay Ralts. I know you don't like heights, but just look at this place!"</strong> She gestured to the city and she grinned wide at her little pokémon. Down at her feet a Mudkip skipped about, just as excited as its trainer. <strong>"Kip kip mudkip!"</strong> the excited little guy exclaimed as he circled his trainer's feet. <br><br>Daniel giggled at her pokémon's antics. <strong>"I know Mudkip, you're just as excited as I am."</strong> Daniel lifted Ralts off her back and held her in one arm, then scooped up Mudkip in the other. The three watched as the SS Anne slowly started pulling into the docks. There were dozens upon dozens of docks in the harbor, all bustling with activity. From massive cargo ships unloading freight, to other cruise liners arriving and departing, on down to little personal sail boats going out for some fun on the water. It was going to be a hot minute before the ship would be docked and unloading, so Daniel pulled herself away from the railing and headed back towards the port side decks where people were playing games and lounging while watching the view of the barrier islands that ringed Great Bay. She set down her mudkip to scamper along beside her but Ralts remained in her arms, the little thing much more relaxed when her trainer held her. Daniel was just about to bust with excitement. She was so excited about getting off this boat and seeing this new frontier that was the Arcaia Region that she wasn't really paying attention to where she was going.

The SS Anne's horn sounded, drawing her attention to the sky behind her for a moment.&nbsp; "Alright, let's go."<br><br>She opened her arms to her Pokémon, only for them to climb onto her hat.&nbsp; She protested a little as she was forced to adjust her balance.&nbsp; With a sigh, she turned and began walking to the disembarkation area.

Nekoda stayed within a crowd with most of his smooth shaven face enshrouded in a black hoodie. His silver eyes looked right ahead at the glittering horizon and saw the hazy skyline of Landing Port, Arcaia, a metropolitan mirage on the sunny water. The luxury cruise liner was in Great Bay, surrounded by a ring of barrier islands. While nearby the massive harbor, Nekoda could clearly see that this was the largest city and the only metropolis of this Region, with some towers sprawling here and there. The distant yet deafening noise began to creep and ultimately overwhelm the serene silence of the sea. Then the SS Anne began docking among other freights and ships, and people rushed to and fro, preparing luggage and passports. <br><br><em><strong>"Shopping would properly start our adventure off on the right foot,"</strong></em> he whispered, working through logic. <br><strong><em>"Key...?"</em></strong> the frog croaked curiously, still hidden from sight. It sniffed the foreign sweet-smelling air.<br><strong><em>"Hone..."</em></strong> the sleepy possessed blade and sheath rumbled and rattled softly upon Nekoda's chest. <br><br>Nekoda approached the girl in blue carrying her Ralts as her Mudkip scampered around. <em><strong>"Hi, you look like you know where to go. I'm going to follow you, if you don't mind. I'm Nekoda, I'm from Kalos."</strong></em> He quietly gasped at the sight of the other girl carrying her Noibat and Froakie on her hat, a shiny Froakie at that. <em><strong>"That is a rare find...!"</strong></em> Even Knight had grown too curious at smelling the other Froakie, his Froakie leapt out of the satchel and plopped on the floor. It cried out a hello, <strong><em>"Froak!"</em></strong>

His entire life revolves around Orre and it’s miles of barren land. Anything different came from watching news broadcasts from in different regions and various televised battles. The main spark behind his interest in Pokémon battle, besides wanting to be strong. That came from his childhood.<br><br>Riding on the cruise was an entirely new experience for him, which was obvious thanks to his lack of travel. It wracked his nerves greatly. Staying in one place for so long, he never thought of how it felt to leave home. There’s a lot of nervousness and a good amount of eagerness mixed in. Both in regards to how he’ll manage in this new environment. Vivi was nothing but excitement.<br><br>The Eevee watched the boat board the dock with her big eyes glued to land. Her tiny legs started running back and forth, unable to contain herself for long. She wanted to go out there and run around! ”Relax, Vivi.” Yuki, taking a more calm approach to this, tried to ease her down.<br><br>His partner only ran off from him, prompting a chase! He followed her and watched as the evolution Pokemon jumped onto a girl and her Pokémon! Vivi was too eager getting off the boat and ended up crashing into Daniel! <br><br>”Oh no….” Cringing, Yuki ran over to help the trainer. ”I’m sorry about her….”<br><hr><hr><hr>

The adventure starved young girl was so lost in her day dreams of trekking across the mysterious land of Arcaia that she was caught completely off guard by the little eevee that scampered into her path. <strong>”Aahhhh!”</strong> she exclaimed as she tripped over herself in a vain attempt to avoid stepping on the energetic ball of brown fur. Flailing about her quick descent ended with a loud crash as Daniel ended up tangled in a deck chair.<br><br>In the fall the girl in the bandana had tossed her Ralts into the air to avoid squishing her. The psychic type glowed a light blue as it used it’s abilities to fall gracefully and alight on the deck as soft as a feather. The rambunctious mudkip however was intrigued by this sudden new comer. Crying out in excitement the water Pokémon began chasing after the eevee as it continued to run from its trainer. <br><br>Seeing the purple haired buy come running up Daniel lamely tried to wave at them as they apologized. Thought being stuck in a deck chair the gesture looked rather comical. <strong>”Dontnworry about it, I wasn’t paying attention either. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one excited to be here.”</strong> Extricating herself from her sticky situation Daniel managed to stand back up, scooping Ralts up in the process with one arm, and extending the other to Yuki to shake. <strong>”Im Daniel by the way, what’s your name? And what brings you to the frontier of Arcaia?”</strong> she asked with a wide grin, hoping the boy could tell all was forgiven.

Then you shall know it!"&nbsp; She leapt back, landing on the guardrail.&nbsp; "When danger's shadow desc-ACK!"

"When danger's shadow descends, the dark hero's name rides upon the wind!"&nbsp; She flung off her hat and cloak in a flurry of plum blossoms, accidentally flinging them into a bystander's face.&nbsp; "Call me Crisis!"<br><br>"Froakie!" Froakie🌟 chimed in, jumping on Crisis' left shoulder, its left arm extended outward.<br><br>"Noibat!" Noibat declared, landing on Crisis' right shoulder and spreading its right wing out.<br><br>"Crossing your path as the fates directed!" Crisis pointed dramatically at Nekoda, mimicking his gesture. "Consider your challenge accepted!"&nbsp; She pivoted her head towards the bystander she threw her things at. <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">"Sorry, can I have those back please? Thank you.</span> Froakie🌟! Power-Up Punch!"<br><br>Crisis grabbed Froakie🌟 and flung it at Knight.&nbsp; Froakie🌟's pale skin glistened in the sunlight as it reared back mid-flight, red energy gathering around its forepaw before striking out at its opponent.&nbsp; A red aura would flicker briefly over Froakie🌟 as it rebounded after impact and landed on all fours.
