TWO YEARS AGO, A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION GOING BY THE NAME TEAM IMUM WRECKED CHAOS ACROSS THE LAND, DAMAGING CITIES AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS. While Imum itself has long since been disbanded, however, the region remains broken: entire towns have been laid to waste and the Association struggles to find homes for those who were lucky enough to survive the attempted genocide. Reconstruction trudges on as usual... but with three factions - the Association, the corporations, and the people - each wishing to take the rebuilding of an entire region down opposite paths, how long will it be before Lyeant's last leg gives out permanently?

first activity check is currently underway. regardless of your green status, please be sure to check it out and make extra sure your characters make it safe and sound after the eighth of march.

we're officially re-opened! come check out our event, the pokeathlon forever to enjoy some fresh restart activities. let leap know if there are any skin bugs, and they'll be sorted out accordingly!
Care to hear about our lord and savior Operation: Mindcrime? In all seriousness: Hello, hello! I'm Pharaoh Leap – or just Leap – local head admin and rock opera enthusiast. On the rare chance you catch me in a time when I'm not bawling about characters entirely written into song, you may see me actually doing work around the site, like skinning, making too many characters, and encouraging others to also make too many characters. I only know how to write angst, and in no fewer than six trillion words an app or post, so if you like dying while reading like I like dying while writing, I'm the girl for you. ;o
Howdy guys! The names Astro and I am your resident Brit & Red muse (you'll honestly see me more on him than any of my other characters). I'm a moderator and my main job is to make sure everything is running smoothly so the Admins can focus on other things, you'll often see me within the apps and shops, etc when I'm not on Red. What can I say about myself? Apart from being a Red fanboy I like music and games and yaoi huehue, I honestly never now what to put into these sort of things but ohwell, I'm more of a "ask me and I'll tell" sorta guy. Anyway, from my personally I hope that you enjoy the site and what we produce here but also if you're new, please look around and if you like what you see please consider joining for rad plots that everyone gives! :D
Hey there~ Nano over here! I uh.. Wait, I'm doing this right, right? Bleh. So I'm a moderator over here - fun, fun - who kind of just.. Keeps an eye on everyone. You know, the whole app thing and what not. Uh.. Lets see.. When I'm not doing school work (because I may or may not be trying to be a good student) I'm probably storming up new ideas like events and etc. Or plots. Plots are always good, too. As you can see, I uh.. Have the horrible habit of making way too many characters. I swear, I was tempted with plots, ships and angst. It's like, the holy trinity. Uh.. What else is there about me? Oh, right! Please excuse my obnoxiousness. I'm just really loud in general so don't be surprised if I start screaming as loudly as I can caps. So yeah. Nice meeting you!

he often came here nowadays. he came here to forget the factions, to wash away the grit of stress. it stuck to his hair, got stuck underneath his nails, and encumbered the palate. for most of his adult life, he couldn't remember a time not tumultuous. yet, he remembered every grain of happiness, like stardust: smooth, silky, and free.[break][break]
among the dancing volbeat and illumise, their lights all aglow like courting constellations, tyson entered the springs. he was soon joined by his araquanid. his clothes were neatly folded on the coast, and his phone, rested easy on their fabrics. the water, illumine and refreshing, brought him and daphneta peace.[break][break]
but it was the rustle of a branch. the shimmering sound of disturbed leaves that broke the calm. neck taut, he dared to ask:[break][break]
"who's there?!"[break][break]
this road was oft untravelled.[break][break]
notes: this thread can be comical or serious or w/e! jump in!
After having been venturing around the Lyeant region, obviously training & avoiding pretty much the Dex Holder's of whom had also arrived hear, he had over heard of a rather relaxing spring that was nearby -- Red could feel his wrist joints starting to 'freeze' up, it was odd that even though he had been cured from being frozen that he was still suffering psychologically. Usually he had put the fact his joints froze up down to overworking them, but with the death of Poli, it made him realise that it was more than just that, his psyche and body always remembered. A sigh escaped his lips as he began to rubs at the wrists to try & loosen them up somewhat.
Upon entering the springs, he was surprised at how welcomed & relaxing it felt, seeing the other Pokémon giving off relaxing lights -- It caused Red to take a rather deep breath before he exhaled. His brown hues then looked around before he entered a changing room to strip off his clothes before he walked out with just a towel around his waist -- Red wasn't a person to have any shame about his body, he just always though it was a normal thing to bath naked in the open. Like always, the Champion wasn't paying attention & ended up walking into a bush -- He really needed to stop being so wrapped up within himself, but a voice calling out brought him back to reality, so to not be rude the brunet moved his way around the bush before giving a slight wave towards the stranger.
Red's firey brown eyes then gazed around them, not wanting to see any other trainers, but the vibe this one was giving off -- He could tell this one was a rather good one. The Kanto Champion then scratched at his cheek before pointing towards the tub that this guy was in, it being obvious that he was asking if he could join the other -- His main reason was because the only other tub was close as Hell to the enterance & if another dex holder did walk in, he wanted to make a quick exit.

People seldom came here, and the instant he caught a glimpse of a humanoid silhouette, Tyson couldn't help but spill an accusation.[break][break]
"You peepin' on me!?" Tyson said, "This a pervert alert?" His hands crossed over his bare chest, and he soon realized his mistake. Especially since the man had just walked into a bush.[break][break]
The man before him was the one and only, Red Kasai. As a native of Johto, it was impossible to have not heard of that name. But to be sure, Tyson remained calm, lest he disturb the waters too much already.[break][break]
"Uh, sure. Go ahead. Water feels really good, doesn't it Daphneta?" Tyson's Araquanid surfaced, blowing bubbles at the Indigo League's champion.[break][break]
"No one really knows about this place," Tyson said, "That's why I jumped to conclusions, if you'd forgive me... Champion Red."[break][break]
no worries bby <3 It's a pleasure to be rping with you.

Red held his hands up upon the male calling him a pervert, Red was by far from it & it annoyed him slightly that this stranger assumed that he was perving on him. But his anger quickly calmed down upon being allowed to enter the pool. He dipped his toe in first just to double check the temperature before moving more of his body under the bubbling depths (removing the towel that was around his waist), now being fully submerged up to his mouth he couldn't help but pull a rather calmed & relaxed expression -- On top of blowing bubbles via his mouth, despite it being something a young child would do, it often helped him unwind.
[break][break]
Then them words were spoken, his name came out from the lips of this stranger, which only caused him to roll his eyes as he made sure to have done it away from this stranger's line of site -- He didn't really want to upset any fan of his, it wouldn't be him, but then what was ever since Poli 'died'. Upon turning his head towards the male, he gave a rather warming smile even though if people knew him rather well they'd have been able to tear it apart & new it was fake -- One of them would have been definitely Green, his rival knew him just as good as he knew him.
[break][break]
Red was then asked if he could forgive him, to which the Champion simply responded by lifting a hand out from underneath the water & swaying it from side to side with an open palm -- Clearly saying that he wasn't really that fussed about it. He already knew that it was probably strange of such a world renowned trainer to be silent, it was still strange to him -- But he just couldn't seem to be able to form any words since this loss of his partner for over 10+ years. Afterwards Red shifted slightly within the water to stare at it with his warm eyes, it was obvious that despite being warm that once he were to become serious you'd have been burned by his tenacity, but right now he was thinking about the times him & Poli along with the rest of his team would share a spring together & just splash each other -- Often causing a right ruckus.

To Tyson, Red looked like a Lombre, blowing bubbles just beneath the steamy surface. The clear-green waters effused calmness, and yet Tyson could not help but hear his pounding heartbeat in his ears. He was sharing the springs with a bonafide celebrity—and he had just smiled at him![break][break]
However, the silence, although appreciated by the secluded serenity of the springs, was something he hadn't completely expected. Perhaps, he had heard rumours that the man barely talked—if ever—but to confront such a still tongue was a first for him.[break][break]
Yet, Tyson did not mind. He was good at talking anyway.[break][break]
"So, what brings you to the springs? Wanted to enjoy the sights?" Tyson raised a hand toward the Volbeat and Illumise in the distance, their lights like twinkling diadems.[break][break]
"Ah, and I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Tyson Kanazawa. I used to—" The green-haired man paused, the natural flow of his introduction shifting currents, "—live in Johto."[break][break]

Red remained how he was, even as the male began to question him as to why he was here -- Was this guy a 20a or something?
[break][break] His firey-brown eyes only looked up towards 'Tyson' as the other had rather politely introduced themselves, but the mention of having hailed from Johto caused his gaze to return to the bubbling water -- His eyes showed something was amiss, but the fact he wasn't even speaking was a massive thing since if anyone had ever spoken to people that had actually met him. They would have told people on the fact that he never shuts up. But to show that he wasn't trying to be rude about being silent, Red simply raised a hand up out of the water after lifting himself up slightly to a sitting position. [break][break] Red kept the hand there until the other were to either accept & shake it or to decline the hand shake, he wasn't expecting anything from it -- Just because he was a Champion & a world famous trainer, he wasn't going to try to be above people. It just wasn't his forte at all, having come from a rather humble & respectful background. [break][break] Despite the silence, he decided to 'try' to answer Tyson's question -- To which he simply pointed towards his wrists, it was well known that he had been frozen & turned to stone throughout the years, so it was to no surprise that he would have sustained 'injury'. Even though this type of injury was more for a psychological benefit rather than anything else, having been cured of it years ago back in the springs.

tyson smirked. a handshake? at least, he imagined it to be, the hand having breached the surface of the water to greet him. leaning over, the water lightly dappled with light, he took the man's hand. a firm squeeze, and a shake.[break][break]
the inner tyson was ecstatic; never in a million years did he think he'd be in the same place (let alone springs!) as Champion Red. Perhaps, this was fate of some kind. stars aligned. red strings tied from his to mine. but he worried. lyeant was threatened with political turmoil, so... why was he here?[break][break]
"Ah," Tyson said, understanding. "I'm here for the same reason. Makes the sores go away. The air here is easier to breathe too, I think."[break][break]
his araquanid popped a bubble at red, then skirted around, having ascertained the amiability of their company. tyson crossed his arms, leaning back against the edge of the springs.[break][break]
"Daphneta thinks you're not half-bad." Tyson said with a chuckle, "I should tell you, I was bug-type gym leader here. When things were safer."[break][break]
"Are you just passing by Lyeant? It's kind of a mess right now, if you didn't already know." Tyson simpered, "I hope I'm not being too invasive. I'm just a curious guy."[break][break]
I am really sorry for the late reply, I've had no internet for the past week ;a;

A glance towards the Pokémon before giving it a smile, his fire-red hues moving to look back towards Tyson -- Mainly at the fact that the other stated he was a Gym Leader, a bug one, but also stated about the state of Lyeant to which he just gave a few nods before rubbing his fingers against his chin in thought. Red then nodded once towards himself before he shifted a bit within the pool to stand up (showing everything) before he pointed towards Tyson before aiming his own finger towards him, only to shift his pointing over towards Ty's Pokemon. [break][break] Red wanted to battle this ex-gym leader, it had been a long time since he had even battled anyone but he felt already that he was getting rusty, something he rather dis-liked and he knew full well that of Poli was here that his real partner would have punched him for not having fought at all since his arrival in Lyeant. A grin came across the brunet's face -- Maybe this was what he really needed, being around someone who wasn't close to him at all like Blue or Green were, just maybe this person might help him get back to talking and acting like he used to. It wasn't fun being silent nor as battle-active.
