Ludicom

I was talking with Kloud and Kinfin and we thought up the idea of rebooting the Into Their World story roleplay stories.

This time it would be new characters who found the games on a Google Ad and try them out before being suddenly transported into the Pokemon world. Since it would be a Google Ad rather than a Ludicom Ad(Like the first story line was) The characters would not know each other from before hand(Same names as first story can be used but as if the first story never happened and you didn't know each other at all)

The story line will take place in the Platinum universe.

If you are interested please sign up below with your character name and information. And anyone who wants to control a second character will have to first discuss it with Kinfin or Kloud.



(Letting Richie keep the pokemon teams now. Leaving Aryeh's incase he wants to save levels.)
Aryeh
Torterra Lv39, Stararaptor Lv39, Gengar Lv39, Rotom Lv39, Rampardos Lv37, Bibarel Lv17

Donovan
Infernape Lv47, Tropius Lv46, Gyarados Lv45, Gligar Lv44

Allana
Alakazam Lv39, Roserade Lv39, Crobat Lv39, Spiritomb Lv37, Azumarill Lv35

PLOT TEASER!!!!

The legendary Pokemon video game franchise garnered massive levels of popularity. Being piecemealed outside Japan after growing massively popular within, Nintendo and GameFreak made every intention to expand the series to astronomical levels. But as time passed, they kept on looking for the next step. Despite all the features added to the games, none of them had the full immersion that they strove for. That’s when they decided to create a digital Pokemon world run in Virtual Reality. With the intention of the final version of the product featuring every region in the series interconnected as they would be in the real world, and with a massive multiplayer layout that could make a Pokemon Society a reality, they first decided to test it on a small scale by inviting Beta Testers from around the globe. While the final version would have very few NPCs for the sake of maintaining the immersion, the beta that the testers would experience would be more preinhabited due to the limited number of testers. With months of programing and R&D invested into the project, it was finally ready for testing, and the applicants were reviewed and invited to the testing facility, and attached to the game, which was set exclusively in Sinnoh. However, unbeknownst to the primary programers, a rogue AI were in the game, hell bent on erasing one of the Players’ conscious to claim their body. Who is these AI, and why do they exist. Find out in Into Their Worlds AU.

And unless people want it to stay Into Their World AU is only the temporary title. A real title can be thought up later. Again unless people would prefer to stay with this title.

I'm interested but skeptical due to the recurring end of rps

To be fair, it's better to start it and have it die than not even being willing to try. If you don't try, there's no chance of any RP surviving. Also, if memory serves, ITW's main cast featured Kloud who checks the forum every day, Micheal who's back and plans on being daily, you who I'm pretty sure is daily, Ian, who if he's not a daily checkuper, is pretty damn close to it, and Richie who's the only person who has trouble being daily due to him repeatedly loosing internet connection. And even then, he'll do what he can to make it happen if he finds out something like this is goin on. He was daily before Jay and Querty got tied up IRL and that debunked warlords.

What Kinfin said. I'm definitely in it for the long run. Roleplays don't need huge casts, 3+ players who are active is all that's needed, and we already have that with Michael, myself and Kinny.

And if we get a good RP going, it may help bolster general site activity too- who knows? I think it's worth a shot.

I'd totally be up for something like this again, in fact, I was thinking about ITW a few days ago... Although mostly about what messed it up xD
But yeah, I have no qualms with a reboot :3

Like what Dylan said. The original members of this RP story line put together TWO 90+ page roleplays. And as long as we stick to what made the first one good and active. And not allow people control over the legendary's this one should be able to pull at the very least 50 pages before people start leaving. Maybe we could even do what the other two couldn't do and finally break 100 pages.(First was 97 pages, Second was 99 pages)

So all we really need is Ian to sign up then leave sign up open for maybe a week or more to see if others might want to join if they can stay active for a roleplay.

And I promise to come on every day as best I can as long as I didn't procrastinate multiple homework assignments to be due the next two days. In those cases I will return after the homework is turned in.

Currently recruiting a third person willing to play a Rogue AI charecter. I'll be editing the origonal post of that to feature more than one. I've already recruited Aryeh to play the second.

Ok seeing as we have a number of people who do want to play this lets start actual sign ups.

Please post your character sheets below for the character you will be using. And remember any extra characters will need to be talked over with Kinfin or Kloud first so post only your actual character then post your extra once they are approved if you wish to use an extra(The people who talked to Kinfin about paying the AI and got approved post both characters since your already approved)

I was drawing this a few days ago for some reason.
I found out later that that position is not anatomically possible.
So I edited it
But hadn't uploaded the edited version

Name: Shelby
Age: 21
Looks Age*: 18
Basic Look: Very curvy, tall for a woman. Wavy, honey colored hair that's very long. Glasses with thin, red rims. Blue and yellow eyes. Carries a taupe bag that seems to be bigger on the inside- crazy prepared.
Nationality*: Swedish American
Starter Preferred***: Turtwig

Name: Ran
Gender: Female
Age: 32
Looks Age: 24
Basic Look: Soft facial features, slender figure, wears a lot of makeup
Nationality: Japanese
Starter Preferred: Piplup

Gonna do proper bios tomorrow (cos it's late atm for me and I need to think of character names cos I have everything but the names), but my starters are Turtwig for my main hero and Chimchar for villain, my npc character will have some other mon :)

Ok now that we got all of you signed up we can start. Also starters are 2 Piplups 2 Turtwigs, 3 Chimchars.

If you wish to join late you are free to just make sure to post a character sheet first and the time limit for late sign ups is untill the people in the story have begun to earn their third badge.

For the record, since there are multiple starting points for people, it's based on the Origins anime where Gyms will adjust their team based on where and when you are. So we aren't all huddled in Twinleaf.

Yes I'm stalling for the sake of Richie.

Getting yourself invited into a gym right off the bat is a terrible way to stall.

You're gonna lose that bet. xD

Guys, I'm doing it for a reason. It's gonna have a feel like Origins did. I did a quick Gym battle for the sake of that. You'll see how it works out.

Ooooooh yeaaaah, I forgot, you told Gardenia that you had no badges, and that you hadn't fought a single battle

:O

Did you guys start yet?
Edit: Just saw the In Character thread.

Yeah, we started, but it's Open ended enough where you can still hop in. So don't delay.

Got it.

Name: Ian
Age:16
Gender: Male
Basic Look: 5'8, Brown Hair, Brown eyes. Skinny
Starter: Turtwig

Edit: I'll wait a bit before I post. It's been a long time since I played Platinum so I got to remember the moves for a Turtwig and think of a team for later.

gonna do my first two characters now and introduce my third character a tad later on after giving them some more thought cos I want to be happy with my decisions.

(http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/03/Spr_BW_Backpacker_M.png)
Name: Aryeh
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: that picture above but with shorter hair is the avatar chosen for me
Starter Pokémon: Turtwig

(http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/3c/Spr_HGSS_Giovanni.png)
Name: Donovan
Age: 37
Gender: Male
Appearance: shady looking guy in a black suit
Starter Pokémon: Chimchar

Both are these characters are humans plugged into the game, the third is an npc character and my female lead.  I'll introduce her soon along with the short bio.  I'll work on my first post soon and have it soon.  Contact me on skype if you want me to include things in my posts to help.

I meant to ask, are we gonna be following the D/P plot or Platinum plot?

Platinum.

Cool. Got an idea for a team. If I have the go ahead to post, I'll start one ASAP.

Yeah you're fine mate.

Made my post. Not the longest, but good enough for an intro.

I has posted.  I'm planning on catching a Starly cos I wanna recreate some of my Pearl team (sand Palkia unless I was allowed that haha xD )

Unless Dylan changes his mind I do believe that legendary ownership is not allowed.

yeah I know xD though I do expect to eventually jump around the Distortion World like a boss. (though it'd be cool if I could do the Rotom tv thing since he isn't legendary)

Oh, Rotom, F*ck yeah. That's fair game.

Also, if you didn't realize, there's a bit of Radiant AI in the VR game. Things are happening weather or not you're there. There's room to preempt Galactic if you're in the area, and even to mess with them. Since this is technically an MMO beta, and in the 'full version' the teams would be groups of players being arseholes, there's room for more than just what the original game had going for it. Think of it as Pokemon Platinum evolved.

yeah I figured it isn't totally the same as Platinum because it's essentially a new "gen" for the new format so that means a bit of poetic license will be fun :)

So, just wondering. Are we gonna incorporate the Underground into this rp? It's one of my favorite things from thr 4th gen games.

Honestly, I see little point to the Underground. The digging and Secret Bases were okay I guess, but I preferred gen 3's bases. The only other purpose would be to explain !!!!FOSSIL!!!! Pokemon, and even then, it's not too necessary to feature the entire expanse of the place.

I did prefer Gen 3's bases yeah.

Though I would like to get a fossil soon.  I could obtain it some other way though.

Trip over it while walking. Get it revived in Orreburg. ??? Profit!

I was wondering because I'd like to get some colored shards for the move tutors.

One of the other problems with underground is the ability to basicly farm things like revive and max revive if you spent enough time down there.

Well we don't have to follow the game exactly for that.  We'd want to write the story in a way that isn't grindy of getting items.  We can just use it for interesting posts like the aforementioned shard finding.  I think it would more as noticing rare items there rather than farming a ton of rare items.

Just say the Tutors are free if you have to. I don't want a "And then he grinded" post. it's a waste of time.

I'd say that if you can find it in the underground, it's fair game, but I think that if you claim to get too many rare items, you'd need to take a small time penalty to keep things evenish.

yeah finding good stuff is fine providing it's fair and not too much at once in order to not be op :) spreading stuff out is good :D

I love how you totally made a vague answer since Kanto is both real and Pokémon xD brilliant

That's the point. Very clever, I know.

:D


anyway new bio:

(http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/41/Spr_HGSS_Skier.png)
Name: Allana
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Pokémon: Kadabra, Roselia
Appearance: above sprite but without the skis xD

Allana is not a beta tester, she is an npc ai in the game who gets curious.  Will explore themes of what makes a person a person.

So, how many of you guys know what your team is gonna wind up being?

yeah I've decided my team for me, not sure about the others yet.

I have a team, but I'm thinking about my chances of actually having a certain pokemon on my team. It's not a legend, but I don't know when I'll have the chance to actually be able to reach it in story.

I've been actually playing the game scouting things out. I've got a few things in mind, but not a full team yet.

I'll most likely end up playing Torterra/Staraptor/Floatzel?/Jolteon?/Sneasel or Weavile/Rapidash?

Kinda still in the development phase . I'm playing the game alongside things, so it's up for change.

See I'm going for Torterra, Ambipom, Crobat, Dusknoir, Weavile and Milotic but I have no idea when I'll have access to the area where Feebas is found or how to raise it's beauty level. It's been a long time since I played platinum.

Umm. You guys realize that Shelby and Ran are still in Orreburg Gate, right?

That's who I was referring to in my last post.

I haven't set my team yet. Chim Chim will be staying in it. Mr. Fish will be staying in it. Sparky not sure yet. Psyduck is only for the first gym. Might get an Onix for the first gym and a Machop

ITW Richie; the definition of slow progress

Slow is good. Slow means we will have a better shot at making this RP break the 100 page barrier that both of the other two failed to break(Though considering the other RP died before even Gym like 5 and it reached 99 pages it probably could have reached 200 pages if we actually finished it.

Although, everyone else' progress pales it xD

since you guys posting the team, I will too

my four pearl mainstays were Torterra/Staraptor/Rampardos/Gengar so I'm replicating that
Then at the moment I'm thinking I wanna add Rotom and Luxray, which though adds a bit of redundant typing, I'm not too bothered about that cos I like Ghost types :P

I say it because Michael acted like we already passed through in his.

Not sure which would be better for my Play along. Capture a ghastly and raise it, or just cap a level 9 gengar using Dongle.

He doesn't know where you two are. He is assuming they would have gone through long before him since he spent time training at the water with Mr. Fish

Our last posts were us just entering the cave so... yeah.

Michael himself came to the route just after you entered the cave so he didn't see you and doesn't know where you are in the cave as he is just entering it at the end of my post. He is ASSUMING you two either finished or ran away hiding not saying you did.

Sorry if things are a bit dead in the RP today from me and Kloud. I think we got a bit of a burn from the initial boom. Should be back tonight or tomorrow.

As long as it doesn't get burnt out enough that the RP ends. I want to see this one reach at least 100 pages.


Also the old RP managed to pull 5 pages a day in the 3 day period after I joined it. So getting burnt out after 3 pages in two days. You two must be old people getting tired so easily. Hehehehe  O0

Heh, a lots changed for me. Last roleplay, I was still a student with a lot of free time. Now, I work full time and have all the aches and pains in my back of an older person thanks to my injury xD

So I guess I am getting old :P

Plus, last time it was in the summer at the very beginning. So we all had a lot of free time.

Ok then I have a challenge for Kloud. See how much better/faster she has gotten in the past 2 and a half years at drawing/scribbling.


15 minute time limit. Scribble two characters hugging. Comparison will be this picture that you said you scribbled in 15 minutes of Kloud and Zip hugging.

alternating between days of doing the rp and not doing it might work out ok providing the rp doesn't die would be fine to give breaks but keep interest up rather than doing everything at once :)

Exactly. I'd rather have it be a bit slower but last longer anyways xP

Okay, so since it's agreed that it's a slow day today, would anyone mind if I posted again, to get me out of Eterna Foresg of course.

seems fine :P


my to-do list:

1- Allana and I having conversation
2- Valley Windworks with Vs Mars and seeding the plot of an awesome idea Kinfin gave me ^_^
3- More Donovan villain shenanigans
4- Getting to Eterna Forest/Eterna City and getting more team members
5- First encounter with creepy enemies

Sure.

Going back to the team topic, since I've been playing the game along side, I've actually flushed out my team.

Once things are fully evolved, we're looking at
Donnel the Infernape, Loki the Crobat, Leo the Western Gastrodon, Belfry the Bronzong, Roxie the Garchomp, and my yet to be named Roseraid

So if anyone remembers, catching a Feebas is extremely difficult in the actual game, as it's only in 4 different spots each day. So does anyone mind if when I actually get to that Part of Mt. Coronet I can just go fishing and catch it?

In RP? Sure. If you're playing alongside, I'd say what you do is you get 4 people with the game, form a group in Jubilife and have everyone join it, then have them fish in each of the spots at the same time. Auto Feebas because you'll know which spot is the right one.

Just remember the HMs you need for it

And the Fishing Rods for that matter. You need good or better in Sinnoh. Which is odd because in Hoene, it was Old rod in the specific points if memory serves.

Uh, not looking at my guide at the moment. I believe you need Rock Smash and Strength to actually get to the lake room, than you need to use Defog in the lake room correct?

Where do we find Defog again?

Defog is in the Pastoria Marsh near the entrance in a guy's hands. But it's fine because the fog is nothing more than a nuisance. I never bother with Defog. it's a waste of a move. Rather just wander in the dark, same with flash.

So when I get to the lake room, just ignore the fog or what? Cause I'd imagine that in a VR a fog would be like a real one, and in a cave it could be easy to get hurt.

Well, keep this in mind. The lake is optional. You can just stick to the wall to get through. You searching for Feebas might need it, but I know for a damn fact I won't need it.

Finally gave it a name I see.

You got me, you sly dog

Does that even mean anything?

It had something to do with Richie in the first ITW.

Ian, I was wrong about Defog. It's actually in the Unknown Ruins in Pt. In DP, it was Strength there, so I was confused.

In the first story line Richie could not stand being around girls. Even fainted when hugged by Ricky(His version of what Zip was to Kloud) when Ricky was reborn as a girl.

I enjoyed poking him with a stick when he fainted then gave him the stick to defend against the girls.

Oh, that. Yeah, I think Richie actually has that. JK... I think.

But anyway, I'm glad how things are going so far.

I was planning to make a reference to something that happened in the original ITW as well, but it won't be for some time, and I don't think Michael will remember it.

oh yeah I remember girl Ricky, that was weird xD

There was also Leaf trying to make out with people to make Aryeh jealous.

Now that I think about it, ITW 1 was friggin' weird

It was.

It sounds weird to say, but I think LAN may have been the least weird out of all the copies.

Actually most of the weirder stuff was in Another Life With You.

Okay, hold it hold it hold it.

Richie, the NPCs can't be aware of the Beta Testers. It invalidates so much.
Richie and Aryeh, you're both totally ignoring night falling and the fact that so long as you're plugged in, you have semi normal needs. It's been established that people would be sleeping at night unless they were vying for a nocturnal Pokemon or late night training session, which comes at the cost of time the next morning. The VR experience is meant to be immerse, remember? In the words of Egoraptor's Pikachu, F*cking Tauros meat or something. Hell, they serve Slowpoke Tail in X and Y

I wasn't gonna sleep that night cos I wanted to do night stuff in Eterna Forest in my very next post (that I shall write tomorrow irl) which would follow with me being tired the next morning cos I was running on adrenaline till that point.  I was gonna enter the Chateau that night for maximum creepytude. :)

I'd stay if you stay up all night and the entire next day, you'll probably have to either sleep in or sleep the whole next night and be tired. That's the most realistic.

maybe I'll stay up real late but not the whole night, then sleep in till like mid-day.  I've done that irl a lot anyway so it works xD

Well, there are now several people asleep. I'd be fine with everyone just making a long post just to wrap up their night in whatever way so we can progress.

Hmm, I should probably try to start interacting with other characters huh?

We're all gonna end up crossing paths by Hearthome since the exits to the town are blocked until Fontina is beaten in game. I'm gonna say we all are to Participate in a Contest anime style for funsies!

I'd be up for something like that. By that point in the story I'll have about.....3 pokemon.

As long as you are making mention of it being night time it works rather than it being seen as possibly day time while everyone else is alseep.

He and I talked it over. He's gonna power through the night in his next post

Super speed coked up Aryeh?

Is it coke or is it Mijuwana?

You've been just behind me the whole time. xD Michael will also be nearby. Maybe try interacting with one of us? Granted I'm kinda hidden lol

I do have an idea. I was gonna do something like "Ian tripped over Shelby trying to get to the Honey Tree" but Ran set up a tent so I'm kinda forced to improvise a bit.

Ran's technically awake. You can talk to her.

Pokemon teams are listed in the first page. I will try to update it once a day but if I forget to update or forget one pokemon evolving or being caught or what not just post in here for me to add it.

Also nicknames can be changed if you wish. Except for Richies starter. That thing is staying as Mutant Midget.  >:D  O0

So with my most recent post, I made a reference to the original rp without meaning to.

I mentioned Friday for a reason that I've already talked out with Kloud. If others want driffloon, we can tool it as a hoard, but if not, it's just gonna be one.

Just don't mess with Driftloon, guys, we have plans xD

Oh boy.

don't worry, I won't hog all of the Ghost Types xD

Okay, since it's starting to be a thing, I think I've decided what I think is fair for excavation.

The best way I feel to handle it is that we for the most part drop most of the digables leaving only the fossils. Tutors that are shard reliant will just be made free.

That being said, since the anime shows every kind of fossil in Oreburg, let's make every kind of fossil from gen 4 and before available.

Why the anime, the games never had anything to so with the anime.

I agree. I say just the Gen 4 fossils.


Also pokemon are updated for the night. If you wish to have the levels of your pokmeon added to the main page(Similar to what Aryeh is doing to his own pokmeon) Either skype me pm me or simply post them in here between when you finish RPing each day and the current time of this edit for me to put them into the update each night.

I will start a play along with my own platinum on tuesday. I need to spend this weekend capturing pokemon in soul silver and trading the ones I want to keep in platinum before restarting it and have to work on homework as well.

By next friday I should be caught up in game to the story. Friday or Saturday.

Well, it's just I never understood why the other fossils start showing up post game is all. You can dig up all of them once you get the National Dex.

True enough, but games respond to flags and events and the Nat Dex is a pretty big one

Because until post game you think all other fossils are rocks and just destroy them. Then you get Nat Dex and are like 'fuck THOSE WERE FOSSILS!'

This post made my day xD

Every broken fossil was a DOUBLE KILL

Okay, this is gonna be a heads up/reminder. Things are gonna get mind gamey. Ran's actions were specifically designed to make Micheal mad because it would make him a scapegoat to her malicious intent. That being said, remember, unless your character is freakishly trusting, they can't necessarily trust anything anyone else says, and don't know things for certain unless they see it. Which makes the mind games thing work.

well this will definitely work out very cray for him because Michael and I are going to meeting a certain multitude of a problem very shortly :P ;)

For everyone else continue along without me or Aryeh. He said he would be making one more post then going to bed(or simply not rping anymore for the night) and I am going to be ignoring the site working on a codding project and we are continuing our plot tomorrow.

Richie, you accidentally read my mind. I didn't say anything about rival out loud.

Ian, don't you think you caught up a bit quickly? I mean, Ran and Shelby had been riding ahead for Dylan and Richie's entire battle. And then Dylan started riding ahead too.

I could edit it so that I didn't finish and am still having trouble. That way I could have some Ritchie in my next post.

Something like that. It just seemed you moved too quick. In one post you went form Eterna to the base of Mt Correnet, ignoring everyone in between.

I actually didn't realize Ritchie had posted seeing me until like 3 in the morning so I was already planning to edit it when I woke up.

Current Pokemon and levels:

Cheeto- Grotle- level 25
Demyx- Buizel- level 23
Meow- Kadabra- level 24
Winter- Staravia- level 24
Cochise- Ponyta- level 23

So I decided to do a play along. You would not believe how long it took to get an Aipom off a Honey Tree.

I've been doing a playalong the whole time- but I'm way behind the rp. xD getting close to caught up though. Just now arriving in Eterna.

I'm not even out of Eterna Forest yet. I got to get my Zubat to evolve.

Yeah, it's tiring work amirite? xD

Anyways, looking forward to the mind games and relationships forming between characters to get into full swing.

You are correct. You know what's not fun? Getting poisoned and having no antidotes. You know what's worse? Having your whole team poisoned with no antidotes.

LOL that's awful. This gen introduced surviving the poison, though, so at least there's that...

And oh, I just edited my post to make it a bit more dramatic. Shelby and Ran's relationship is... rocky at best. xD Maybe we could make a quotes and shipping and everything else thread for this one like we did for the first?

http://ludicom.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,1011.0.html

I really enjoyed that, so I think it might be fun to do it again.

So I guess I can't play along the rp anymore. My platinum save just got corrupted.

I guess cos Lightball and I are waiting on eachother's schedules to finish this scene, we gonna fall behind a tad.  I guess I'll have to do a good sized post after it to win my second badge and catch up in a bit.  In the mean time, I'll have to do Donovan stuff myself as he needs to win his Veilstone Gym battle.  I also have stuff to do with Mars that a couple of you know about ;)

To-do list:

1- Finish encounter with Michael and meet a certain adversary
2- Get 2nd Gym Badge
3- Get Bike
4- Go down to Route 207 to Oreburgh and get Cranidos revived before heading back up
5- Through Mt Coronet towards Hearthome and catch up with all you guys (you guys are getting way ahead now xD )

That's why I had Ran set up the Hearthome Lockdown. That and for story purposes. I basically want that point where everyone will have 3 badges to be the true start for the race. It also makes for a good point for a Multitude of issues to start to roll

I see what you did thar ;)
and awesome, thanks :D gives me and Lightball and chance to catch up.

though I realised my characters don't care too much about the cash prize.  The way Aryeh is, he keeps forgetting about it cos he's wrapped up in the game and will probs have to keep reminding himself it exists and to speed up a bit but he wants to solve the Galactic thing from the inside which will be the distraction and then that multitude of problems will be a big distraction too.  Donovan is rich so he doesn't care, he has other motives, though he'd still like to win the game nonetheless for his own ego.  Allana doesn't even know there is a cash prize since she is an npc, though it'd be funny if she won the league first and everyone was like "wait, how does that work?" xD

I had an idea for a 2nd character that was a beta tester, but to introduce the character now that we all have at least 1 badge seems kinda...late so I think I should hold off. Unless I could have it where the character only has won the 1st badge but never bothered with the other gym.

Hell, feel free to toss them a Handicap to make up for the late start. I said in the first post that all the beta testers started at a different time. That having been said, any other female beta testers helps a lot with a plot point.

What do you mean by handicap?

Instead of just a starter, have them spawn with 2 maybe even 3 Pokemon and already with some badges in hand. Slightly behind, but not so far it's like they just started and we're all already a third of the way in.

Alright. Just got to decide the team. It's a female by the way.

Name: Allison, or Ally for short
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Basic Look: 5'3, light blond hair, icy blue eyes
Current Team: Prinplup, Vespiquen, Bronzor.

I'll introduce when Richie an I get to the other side of Mt. Coronet.

Yeah forget that I'll introduce her in my next post.

Okay, to explain the Bronzor thing. I actually forgot to capture the thing in RP and at this point, I almost have my entire team. Bronzor is a part of my Play Along, but I caught it a lot earlier and didn't want two captures at the same time, so I wanted to catch it in Correnet in story but sotra forgot to when I went for Comedy. So yeah. Belfry the Bronzor.

Okay, lemme get things straight. A 13 year old girl is hiding in a cave and mugging/possible killing people? Am I reading that right?

That's what she plans. She's not actually gonna succeed in the plan due to some unintended accidents.

I am sorry. My program which I planned to have finished by around 6 pm and its now 12 am and I am still working on it due to so many bugs acting up. I will be busy running the program test data and doing other classes homework. It will be all finished on tuesday as that is when the program is due finished or not no late programs allowed.

Okay, I have a plot point that's going to be revealed once everyone's in Hearthome. Try to get there as soon as possible with all your characters.

I will be there not in my next post (which is a big'n that has catching up) but in the one afterwards.

Allana's world has been shattered but some of you there is way more to it than that... this is only the first phase of her existential crisis.  There are more phases for later!

Anyway I'm in Hearthome City now, so iirc we just gotta wait for Michael to show up to have everybody there.  Contact me on skype if you want to plan some interactions with me cos I really should be doing a bit more of that :)

Would anyone happen to know where I could find the Reaper Cloth to evolve Dusclops? Gonna have to find one eventually.

In platinum there's one on the Acuity Lakefront. Good thing this isn't DP because they aren't available until post game in those.

It's been awhile. Which one is Acuity? Is that the one Galactic blows up or is that the one near Snowpoint?

Varity is near Twinleaf, Valor is near Pastoria, and Acuity is near Snowpoint.

And I need Rock Climb to get to Lake Acuity right? That's gonna be a problem rp wise.

You literally TRIP over the Rock Climb HM since you're required to go to the lakefront for the plot. And we've been ignoring them for the most part most of the time. Only one we've poked at is Surf since people have fallen into water and been washed away more than once.

Well I assumed that was because in rp situations big enough water pokemon would be able to just carry their owners without the need of the HMS or be able to cut down a tree without knowing the actual move cut.

It's called cheezin it. Really, I'd be fine with us just getting pickaxes and machetes and rafts.

I have plans that involve Spiritomb. If anyone else wants a Spiritomb, I can write it so it's available to others, but if not, I'll write it as if it were a one off Pokemon or something.

could Allana get Spiritomb maybe if that's ok since it's being offered? :) :P

I'm gonna write it so there's more than one then.

thanks for letting me keep the levels there :)

I think it should be ok for Aryeh to periodically double post. He is awake at different times than us and tends to have long posts by default, in addition to having multiple characters and roleplaying with them together. For most other people who want to add to it or have another character move we use shorter posts so we could simply edit our posts to add the new stuff to our old post where as his would be too overly long.

That's fine.

There's a lot of guests looking at the rp.

Yeah I'm kinda stuck for the moment until Richie gets his phone charged.

Shit, did you already find Richie and Ran?

Nah, my most recent post I just found you. The post I made before that was Ian running to the Chapel.

Something like that. He was approaching.

yeah :) thanks guys
I figured if I edited the posts then people might not know I've added something new to it even though it's been hours later.  I'll try to avoid doing it often but when it's a natural end to the in-game day for them like my post last night then I think it was ok to do it.

If anybody would like to have a scary encounter with the Multitude, they are free too do so but here is some important information to know first: :)

- The Multitude is a hive mind virus thing that has destruction on its mind.  It can attack with glowing blasts that destroy the terrain and weaken whoever it hits.
- Do not touch the Multitude, this will allow the virus to spread into whoever it touches.  No physical attacks, just long distance stuff.
- Attacking normally will not work on them, the key is to strategise ways of defeating them and getting past their shields.  However they learn quick and the same strategy does not work twice.  If somebody has been able to get rid of a Multitude in one way, that way will not work again.
- The final battle with the Multitude is yet to happen in the story for a while, you won't be able to defeat it for good.  You can win the battle but not the war yet.  If you knock the thing back or destroy it, that's only part of the entire Multitude collective and it'll either vanish or dissipate.  The sense of dread won't go away though for you know it will return... mwehehe
- They are not sentient beings in nature, they are robotic and lifeless so they won't have anything resembling a personality.  They are not like AIs, they are not people.  There is no empathy.  Be warned.
- You could face one Multitude figure or you could face more than one or even a group of them.  Of course it'd be best to smart small by meeting one or two and then facing groups later in the story when the stakes are higher.  That's how I'm doing it anyway.

If you need to know anything else, ask me but I don't want to be too spoilery unless you really want some ;) :P

Thats why I said its more ok for you. You tend to make 5-10 paragraph posts. would be harder to see an addition of 3 paragraphs.

The rest of us use 1-3 paragraphs. We add another paragraph or two and it will be noticed.

hey guys even though it's still night for you guys, since I already finished my posts for that day yesterday can I post the post for the next rp morning now?  Cos I'm gonna be really busy most of tomorrow and so I've got my post written up now ready to post.  It's cool cos Allana gets Spiritomb :D

I'm working on encouraging night ends. I just worked on it on the Richie Group, and the Shelby group will be wrapped up in one more post from both me and Kloud. Assuming Ricky and Michael end their days soon too, we'll be hanky dorie.

ok :)
cos I'm going to bed in a couple hours and would like to have it posted before then

What time is it over there Aryeh?

it's about 11:30pm here atm
so yeah I really wanna post my post :/  I even came up with a cool reason as to why spiritomb appeared
could I post now and just put in (( )) that it takes place the next day

We're all allowed to encounter the Multitude right?

Yeah. Whenever wherever. Just keep past encounters in mind and follow Aryeh's guidelines. So like how it was weak to Ghost in my fight, it never will be again.

Got it. My next post will be an encounter.

yes, it's all good, just use the information I posted :D and be careful ;)

Bit of a slow day. At least this gives me time to figure out a final team for Allison.

Gonna be a slow one today. It's fine.

We're more or less waiting on Richie to post so we can move Ran, Richie, Ian and Allison along for a certain plot point to happen.

yeah I've been super busy today, I probs will be busy for a lot of Wednesdays.  I'll see if I could make a small post later but for days like this I'm glad it doesn't go too far without me xD then things can pick up tomorrow, cos yeah a slow day every so often isn't bad :)

guys why you giving multitude a catchphrase
they don't exist for the purpose to destroy, they exist to continually replicate by absorbing the energy of the area which happens to cause a bunch of destruction as its collateral.
Plus they can say multiple things, they don't have one line lol.  They say what they are currently doing like "attacking target in 3 seconds" or something like that.

I was making him saying because Ian had it on his and Richie was close enough to hear it, unless I'm getting the timing wrong and Alison screams afterward

I did a long post since I couldn't do much yesterday.  With that my Cranidos and Staravia evolved meaning I have a fully evolved team :D Torterra / Staraptor / Rampardos / Gengar / Rotom / Bibarel

Jack (aka Master Chaos) is back! Team and such to come soon .

Dylan is developing a secondary Persona. As you might have seen in the gallary already, the costume is very covering, but I will describe what it's going to look like including colours here for the sake or recognizing it in RP.

The outfit features a dark grey helmet that covers the entire face with a Y shaped piece of Yveltal red glass. It's one way glass so he can see through it but you can't see back in.

The remainder of the outfit is the same shade of grey except particular parts of it. The same red makes up the gloves and boots, as well as the thin Cape which features shapes over the end of the shoulders and the end of the cape. There is also a red belt that can hold a number of items. Items kept here include Y's Pokeballs, Hyper Potions, Revives, and Full Heals.

Basically, Y is Pokemon Batman.

Will we see Zip and ARC as well?

Zip doesn't exist in this universe because Shelby/Kloud's body was never split from her soul. ARC might make a return if there is enough demand.

I've got two new characters who will start to show up after I get past Celestic Town.  Kinfin knows who they are and that they both will reveal some important truths.  A lot of my posts have included some fake outs so it's not all what it seems ;) And then even the reveal of the fake out might still be a fake out of another reveal.

bio time

(http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/b/ba/Spr_DP_Mars.png)
Name: Mars
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Pokémon: Purugly, Bronzor
Description: After learning the truth about Team Galactic and the need to discover her mysterious telepathic connection to Allana, Mars joins Aryeh and Allana's group.

Ian, mind if I semi control Allison to make a bit of action/drama. Not making her say anything, but I want her to be in a situation when Y finds her.

Yeah go for it.

Sorry for the lazy gym on my part. Kloud has me write hers and it takes a lot of effort that I can't do it twice in a short amount of time.

Again with Lazy gyms and I'm really sorry about it. Also, Ian, reread my last post because I added some Ran to it after realizing I skipped her. It doesn't mess with you at all, but be aware of it.

I see it.

So we've been dead today. Mostly because Kloud and I are waiting on Michael, Ian, and Richie to make posts. Mostly Michael and Richie.

If we do another version of this RP it needs to be returned to the original style. I don't care for the competition format of this one or the "Bug in game rush quickly to beat game" feature. I compared this to the first RP.

Page 29: First RP: You guys had beaten 3 gyms and just reached Lavender Town to sit down and eat at a restaurant(Something that regularly happened in the first RP but in this RP everyone is in a rush to be first to win competition and to get away from multitude so simply eat a quick meal at pokemon center.)

Page 29: Second RP: We had just reached Slateport City so halfway to the 3rd gym

Page 29: This RP: Michael beats 6th gym. Richie and others reach 6th Gym.


So comparison of pace of stories.
29 pages in: 3.5 gyms ---> 2.5 gyms ---> 6 gyms

So unlike the first two where there was no rush to escape(after Kloud learned Zip was her and she couldn't return, and second RP people returned to spend time with Ian and Kloud, Kloud was her name the first two RPs rather than Shelby) but this one there is a rush and so the RP gets boring quicker when we are put in a race situation and can't simply sit back. Explore. Eat at a restaurant, Get to know each other.

Yeah. Honestly Michael, I'm more exited for my sequel plans than anything else. Also Ran and Such are lagged behind a bit due to how they did things. Trust me, the sequel will be well over that hundred pages.

As long as the sequal does not involve any kind of "be first to" or "escape before 'thing x' kills everyone" that would force people to rush.


I was hoping something like the first RP minus the Lan trying to kill people. Just a sandbox world where people can explore and make friends. Where its relaxed enough that people are willing to sit down at a resturant and stop to eat and have a chat. (Where Aryeh creates a character that tries to cheat on him to make him love her. :3 )

Oh trust me. Sandbox you will have.

I'm fine with the pace the rp is going, I'm traveling at a decent pace where things get done but aren't rushed.  Though I'm fine with everybody slowing down, the sequel doesn't have to happen right away.  While I like the idea of the sequel, I'm enjoying the current thing and would like to see it go on for a while longer.

All in favor for a universal/group setback or slowdown? Some sort of plot device that makes things just a bit less urgent.

And on that note, any ideas?

Kinfin says that the threat of the Multitude is one thing that makes the rp go faster in pace so within my next couple posts I'll handle it and have it temporarily taken out of the picture for a while until it comes back in a cool way later on, giving you guys time to feel safer.  I already got some ideas that involve this.

I might not be able to make another post until Thursday. My laptop's charger broke and it just died. I have my phone though.

Okay, I need to make sure. Ian, Allison, Richie and Ran are all on their way to Veilstone city right?

Yes. Feel free to start a streamline if you'd prefer.

I feel stupid for asking, but what do you mean exactly?

Half of the reason for taking the route Ran, Richie, and your characters took is that it gave fast power. I' saying feel free to sorta burst through a city or two to speed up to canalave.

Alright. I'm assuming I'll be writing that the four challenged the gyms in Veilstone and Hearthome City and finally reached the area of Jubilife that leads to Canalave?

I believe he means, feel free to make it happen quick. Not sure.

Well damn I was going to appologize for not posting because I have been busy with school but no one else is posting and I am still ahead of most of you since I already beat the gym and only other person with 6 gyms badges is Shelby and MAYBE Aryeh. Due to being busy with school I have for the most part been ignoring Aryeh's posts when I catch up due to him being off on his own and having giant posts.

I just have 5 badges atm

and you should at least skim my posts because I have some relevant stuff in there like the multitude being temporarily out of the way and stuff with team galactic and a new villain called 79, etc.  my posts aren't really too big in terms of what proper rps online are generally, they are just vertically longer than others here because I use paragraph breaks for dialogue but that's a line or two at a time so it's not really much.  Plus I prefer to do one post every so often rather than lots of tiny ones so it's not really much work at all to look at my stuff since it's not like a whole ton of posts every day, so yeah it's hardly giant lol.

I haven't had much time to post lately but I'll probs do something soon, got the Canalave gym to beat.

Only reason it's slow is due to Ian's computer having issues and Richie being busy. Sokay .

Well my computer is fine for now. I can keep it charged cause my sister's home from college. Hopefully I'll have my own by the weekend.

Sorry about the haitus. I just made a semi crappy post, but it'll get the ball rolling again.
