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?

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!

The Kanto Champion watched Blue as she spoke, but when he noticed that she got irriated over the fact that he wasn't speak, he couldn't help but sink his neck into his shoulders slightly --- Part of this was the reason he wanted to avoid any of the Kanto and Johto dex holders, he knew this would be there exact reaction but his fiery brown eyes glanced down towards Vee who remained nuzzling against Blue's hand.
A rather soft and gentle yet a rather saddened sigh escaped Red's lips as he placed his own hand upon his Espeon's fur which he stroked rather gently, everyone knew that Red had a rather strong and deep connection with his Pokémon which most people assumed was the reason why he is such a good and strong 'Battler' and was given that title. Most of it was true but Red knew how to battle on instinct, even at that young age of 10 he had the instinct of a Pro Pokémon trainer, but right now his nerves was actually getting the better of him.
Instead of actually telling Blue, he just shifted a bit and moved to reveal that even though he had six pokéballs attached to his belt.....The dented one that contained Poli wasn't there, Red NEVER went anywhere without his most trusted and essentially his first Pokémon, a Pokémon who risked it's own life multiple times and even evolved to save Red was no longer with him on person. But now Red REALLY didn't want to come back to the terms that Poli might be dead --- He was much happier over the idea of him being missing and that they'll find each other sooner or later.
Red was honestly minding his own business, walking the streets with his hands in his jacket pockets whilst Pika was perched quite happily upon his shoulder -- It must have been a sixth sense or Pika suddenly jumping off of him that caused the Kanto Champion to turn around before being met with a rather excitable Arcanine, but the male didn't seem to mind the fact that he had been knocked down onto the floor.
It didn't take long for him to sit up, his cap falling off and landing beside him as he started up towards the female and what seemed to be her child? Or maybe some demon spawn, but that would be something Green would comment, but Red just gave a rather simple nod before glancing into the Arcanine's eyes rather curiously as it was reminding him of this Growlithe he met on his journeys when he was younger. It wouldn't stop following him, it even followed him into MT.Silver and spent a few nights with him....Well that was until Red forced the fire dog to leave since Mt.Silver was a rather dangerous place in fact.
Upon getting the apology from the female he just glanced back up to her and gave her a rather warm smile before moving to stand up as his Trainer Card slipped out of his pocket, Pika on the other hand had picked up his trainers cap in which Red just happily took it and dusted it off before placing it back on. The brown haired male then waved his hand rather politely before bowing and turning to leave.
WE WERE BORN WITH FIRE AND GOLD[break][break]Blue Mizu
Red stood there for a few seconds as Blue spoke, but to him it felt like centuries was passing by, for once he felt nervous which honestly wasn't like the Kanto Champion -- His hazel eyes dropped to look at the Espeon before he picked up a Poké Ball and returned the psychic-type into the ball, he was honestly wanting to avoid the dex holders as he knew that if they saw him and the fact he was no longer speaking would raise questions....Questions he didn't want to answer. [break][break] But Blue was now the second Dex Holder that he had met now, it was funny on how he had only met the other Kanto Holders --- But they really were the main Dex's that he wanted to avoid the most since they all were close friends. When Blue spoke he just gave a meak smile towards her as a response instead of actually speaking to the brunet, but he simply moved to turn away as he wanted to get out of this situation as soon as possible....But with knowing Blue, that honestly wouldn't be the case so he let out a sigh before turning back to face her and he sat down beside here. [break][break] All while staying silent.
The young champion stared a bit when the other questioned about him being THE RED, which caused the male to tilt his head to the side in slight confusion --- Was there another Red that he didn't know of? His name wasn't exactly a common one in all fairness so if there was another Red, he'd probably like to meet this person. But upon the other starting to apologise and swear, a smile formed upon the trainers lips as he shook his head before letting out a sigh and scratched at his cheek a bit before grabbing a pen and a piece of paper before writing down on it. [break][break] Red then passed the note towards Zachary "Yup, I'm Red....What's your name and would you wanna battle? You're Pokémon look strong", his hazel eyes stared towards his own reflection that was in the others shades, it was clear that this Champion wasn't going to take a simple denial for acceptance after seeing how powerful the others Pokémon was --- Red always wanted to improve himself, but he by himself had such a strong team, but he also had another thing that other trainers really didn't have. [break][break] Presence, Red's alone rather intimidated other trainers --- There had been a lot of rumours in Lyeant rather recently that there was a trainer that gave of a rather intimidating aura that was always battle hungry, along with the fact that this trainer apparently went through 50 battles in a row with just a single Pokémon without even tiring or changing the Pokémon that he was using. Even with the fact he was going up against a full team of Pokémon. It would be clear to Zachary probably that this person was indeed Red. [break][break] On top of that, it was known that they had a Kanto Dex Holder within the Association, but they never showed faced or even showed up to the meetings unlike Yellow --- Now this explained why. Red never really was the type of person to go to something as mundane as a meeting, he was passionate and was only driven by his emotions and current drive (something that had always stayed the same) to battle.
Red looked down towards Vee who was doing their usual thing and nuzzling against Yellow, all of his Pokémon adored the female over how well she could 'communicate' with them, Poli was exactly the same with her -- He saw a glimpse of the Pokémon and froze slightly, but it wasn't honestly evident unless you REALLY knew him, but he was snapped rather quickly back to his attention being on Yellow when she spoke about it being a long time. Was it really that long? Often time was lost on the brown-haired trainer since he spent so much time within Mt.Silver and simply away from civilisation unless it was required.[break][break] He then grabbed Vee's poké ball and returned her to it's confines, Red had been avoiding all of the dex holders ever since Poli's disappearance --- Red didn't even speak to Green of all people which was a massive shocker, especially since the pair were really close friends and rivals to be exact. The place was always filled with them argueing but with him avoiding everyone it was always so silent. His hazel eyes were rather serious right now and sadly didn't have them fiery lit expression he always had during a battle, which was obvious that he didn't enjoy the multitude of battles he just had......Something that was REALLY un-like Red, he loved to battle regardless of anything.[break][break] Red then gave Yellow a slight wave and started to turn on his heels to make his way away from her, this was already too much for him to deal with when it came to seeing another dex holder --- He wanted to keep it as little as it had been, accourding to Prof.Oak, the trainer had given in the only way to communicate with other trainers to him. A sign that he didn't want to see ANYONE point blank. Plus the fact he had come to a completely new region instead of going through the other ones (obviously because he was well known), but here....Here no-one really knew him so he could wander about with no worries, til now....Now it was a question as to when the other dex holders were to follow since with Yellow being here, it wouldn't be long til the others.
Red tilted his head to the side slightly when this male who could barely seem able to control his own Pokémon spoke about him trying to end his life, a confused expression came across the trainers face -- It literally have been the first sign of an emotion that had been displayed upon his face whilst talking to this stranger. Pika on the other hand was looking around at the Pokémon that was causing destruction everywhere, but the brown-haired male seemed to give off an aura of excitement, one that one would expect to happen whilst in the midst of a rather heated battle. The Kanto Champion could tell that this blond-haired male must be really powerful with his Pokémon and he was kind of sad that maybe they didn't have such as good of a bond as his team did to draw out 110% of their power and more.[break][break] As rubble came hurdling it's way towards him, a beam of red light shot out from one of the poké balls that are attached to his belt and a purple Espeon appeared only to lean down against it's front paw's and cause the rock to give off a blue aura as it stopped within it's tracks before the Pikachu that was perched upon his shoulder used Iron Tail to smash the rather large rubble into smithereens. A smile came across Red's lips as he had such a good bond with his Pokémon that he never did need to issue any commands at all, with the slight distraction out off the way he slipped into his jacket pocket and pulled at a Trainer ID. card --- Only to walk closer to Zachary and hand it over to him, finally showing who he REALLY was.[break][break] Hazel eyes with a rather fiery glint to them stared into the shades of the other before giving a grin and pointing to each of their Pokémon, clearly wanting to battle Zachary.
WE WERE BORN WITH FIRE AND GOLD[break][break]Blue Mizu
The Indigo Champion decided to make his way towards the crater of World's End, you didn't need to be close to see the devastation that had happened around here, there was barely anyone nor any Pokémon for that matter around here. Red was currently travelling with Vee outside of her Poké Ball and perched upon his shoulders as they walked, fiery hazel eyes glanced around as he had heard from other members within the Association about what had happened, he honestly didn't want to admit it but he knew that even Team Rocket (even when and when not lead by Giovanni) would have even gone to such lengths. [break][break] A saddened sigh escaped the trainers lips as he grew closer and closer towards the edge of the crater, his eyes noticed a female within the distance sitting down, due to the distance he couldn't tell who it even was but he thought maybe she knew and could give information about what happened here that wasn't just Association sided. Just because he 'aligned' himself with the Association (something that he had to do due to being the Champion, but also because he honestly didn't agree with any of the three factions). Ideally Red just felt that Pokémon and Humans should just be treated equally but kept as how things were, it wasn't the Pokémon that caused such bad things, it were corrupt people who used them as tools which they wern't. [break][break] Red tilted his head towards Vee as if he was silently questioning her as to whether he should go talk to the girl, but Vee just responded with licking his cheek which made him smile somewhat and nodded. The brown haired male started to make his way towards the female as he was giving her a slight wave to catch her attention, but as he got closer the females features started to come more into focus.....But that was when he lowered his hand and started to slow down upon realising as to who it was that was sitting there, it was Blue, the Battler froze in place as now he honestly didn't want to get any closer nor have any interaction with her as he was avoiding all of the Dex Holders for the sole reason that he didn't want to come to terms with the fact that Poli was missing and he wasn't like his usual self at all. [break][break] Sadly, Vee had a completely other idea as she jumped off of his shoulders, climbed down him to be more precise and made her way over to Blue before rubbing herself against the female brunette and forced herself under the other's hand as if to make Blue pet her. Red however just remained exactly where he was, his gaze averting to the side, now trying to pretend that he didn't even know she was there.
The brunet haired male had came to Lyeant to escape all the politics that were happening back over in Kanto, but to also not being around Mt.Silver where he lost Poli --- Sadly he couldn't exactly escape his infamous reputation since it proceeded him even to this unknown region, but luckily no-one pestered him about the whereabouts of Poli, one of the reasons he was hoping that none of the other Dex Holders were here as he knew he would get question on the whereabouts of his partner but also as to why he was no longer speaking.[break][break]
Red glanced down towards his wrists as he rotated them before slipping some sweat wristbands around them, himself wearing his usual cap but wore a pair of red shorts and a white tank top with red hem linings, he did a few running laps around the course to get himself pumped up for the battle arena. The trainer had his team clipped to a belt that was always attached to him, once he registered he made his way into a battle arena where he started to battle the fellow trainers that were in there.[break][break]
It was a real shame that not many people in here was giving him that buzz intense feeling of an actual battle, during his 10th match his wrist joints locked up which caused him to flinch --- But not in the normal sense that one would really expect, his flinching was more of a slower movement of his throwing the pokéball that only the Kanto Dex Holders and Gold would even know about. Firey brown eyes glanced towards his wrists, even though he was fully healed from where he was frozen by Lorelei it still happened now and then.
Neutral, calm. Though this general mood can be very tricky. His mental disposition is driven by the activity he's realising, appearing to have a permanent serious-serene nature most of the time in people's view. However, he's just well mannered and only speaks up when necessary, rarely in presence of strangers. If he grows closer to someone, then he'll open up and show bits of smiling, grinning or smirking (even playful). He'll be rude when anxious (he's primarily a temperamental individual, but has learned to have it under control), specially when a competition result or his goals are at stake, but will never mean real harm to others. He's not the kind who will scream or rage openly with words when angered, not even passive-aggressive behavior; instead he grows very cold and unpredictable, his body language becoming stiff and/or aggressive.
you want a fight, I'll bring you a war,[break] but I'm a survivor, it's written all over my body.

The scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold.
[break][break]Red start's his journey to become a Pokémon Trainer later than the rest of the Kanto trio -- Mainly because before he even started he was showing off his catching abilities off to a group of younger kids, but this all came to an end when the group mentioned something with regards to Prof.Oak & his douche grandson. Once the kids had all left, he went his own way where he saw a few grunts from Team ROCKET & overheard them talking about the legendary Pokémon Mew. Without a moments hesitation, Red ran off to try & fight it like the typical trainer. [break][break] Sadly, he wasn't the first to be battling the legendary Pokémon -- Another had already started to battle it with a Charmander, it was none other than another male who he had yet to know was Prof.Oak's grandson, Green. Upon seeing the trainer recall his Charmander angered Red so much that he sent out his trusted pal, Poli to battle Mew only to have his ass whooped & to receive words of wisdom from the trainer that owned the Charmander -- At this point Red decided to suck up his own pride & go see the Prof. [break][break] Upon entering the rather empty lab, Red found a Bulbasaur -- Where he picked it up as he loved marvelling at Pokémon, only to get caught by the Professor himself & got mistaken for being a thief, the pair struggled & ended up knocking over the pokéballs where all of them are set lose -- Red feeling bad for what he had caused volunteered himself to get them all back. It took a while but Red eventually get's them all back, keeping to his promise, all apart from the Bulbasaur that he had saw earlier. Red eventually finds the Bulbasaur within Viridian City, he ends up calming the grass-type only to end up getting attacked by a wild Machoke -- Red somehow out of sheer luck manages to figure out how to use Solar Beam on his own, which unbeknowngst to him impressed Oak to the point that the old man gave him a Pokédex & Bulbasaur to keep. [break][break] Which then starts off the young trainer's journey, only to encounter Green once again within the Viridian Forest -- Where the two boys ended up fighting over a Kangasjhan, but during this Red finds out about Green's name along with the status that he was in fact Oak's grandson. This sparked the beginning of their Rivalry as trainers. [break][break]
&& So the Journey Begins
[break][break] Whilst out within Pewter City, Red get's involved with helping out an industry that's getting destroyed by a menacing Pikachu -- Which he captures before running into Green, where he learns about the Boulder Badge, which caused Red to go up & challange Brock the Pewter City Gym Leader & to earn the Gym Badge. He blows through the preliminaries with Saur and Poli -- But he soon realises that he needs to use his newly caught Pokemon, Pikachu, in order to beat Brock's Onix. It was rather rocky at first, simply due to the fact that Red did not have Pika's trust, but upon gaining it he defeated the Onix & grains the Boulder Badge. [break][break] After leaving Pewter City, he bumped inot a girl named Misty & her Gyrados who had been stolen from her was going through a rather intense rage which had horribly injured her & her Staryu in the process. Red then re-captures the water/dragon-type & ends up learning more about Team Rocket through Misty & Oak once they got to the Poké Centre to heal Staryu. Once learning this, he storms off to Mt.Moon after them with Misty in toe & battles against the Grunts that were there, he even defeated an Admin named Koga who even injected his own Ryhorn that forced the Pokémon to evolve into Rhydon. After defeating the members of Team Rocket that were within Mt.Moon he stayed within Misty's Mansion. Misty ends up defeating Red to prove her point that they both needed to become stronger if they want to continue defeating Team Rocket, so he decides to go off by himself & train -- Where after several days he comes back & defeats Misty where he ends up gaining the Cascade badge. [break][break] Red ends up stowing himself away upon the S.S.Anne which didn't last long as he got kicked off -- But he ended up meeting the Pokemon Fan Club Chairman, where he learned that his Abra along with other Pokemon are being stolen. Which ultimately ends up leading him back to the S.S.Anne where he bumps into Lt.Surge, the owner of the ship. Lt.Surge who was another Admin of Team Rocket threw Red & Poli off of the ship which triggered Poli evolving into Poliwrath in order to save Red from drowning since at this point -- Red wasn't a very good swimmer. [break][break] Later on, after recovering from nearly drowing, Red enters a bike racing contest and uses his Pokemon to give him a rather good lead, only to be stopped dead in his tracks by a Snorlax -- But covering Saur in honey, he ends up catching this Snorlax & wins the race, however his prize money was all spent to feed the Snorlax (Red not realising how much of an appetite he had). He then jouney's on to Lavender Town where he rescues Green who had mysteriously disappeared, only to find him possesed by a Ghastly that was owned by Koga. Red then watches Green defeat and slice up Koga's Arbok in half & gains some respect towards Green.[break][break]
&& here the scamming starts
[break][break] Red is soon scammed out of his money for fake items by a rather mischievous girl who went by the name of Blue -- He ends up chasing her down to get his money back, only to realise that his first two badges were also missing. He then deduces that the stolen Squirtle that Oak mention must have been taken by this chick as well & evolved it into a Wartortle. Red ended up overhearing some Team Rocket Grunts mentioning the girl that had scammed him, to which he himself infiltrates Team Rocket's base find out what they know about Blue, only to find her surrounded by a group of Team Rocket members who were looking for a chip that she had stolen (she really needs to stop stealing) that contained the information about Mew. Despite everything that Blue had done to him, he still decides to save her from Team Rocket. Afterwards the pair end up going after Mew only to find that yet again, Team Rocket made it there before them -- But Red decides to stall them in order for Mew to get away. Afterwards Blue decides to leave where she left Red's badges within his entrusted pocket. [break][break] Later on, he ends up accidentally get's his & Green's pokemon swapped near Celadon City. When he tries to battle with them, they refuse to obey him & he later decides to play with them whilst Blue ended up training his Pokemon with more exotic & useful moves. Blue's Pokemon become more kind to Red and more lighthearted, something that ends up annoying Green grately when he get's his actual Pokemon back. After this, Red goes to Erika, where he challenges her. Except, she demands that he proves himself by catching a special Eevee (with Bill's help) he ends up finding and catching this Eevee which has the ability to swap between any of it's evolved forms - Something that was due to a special device that was implemented into it's ear. [break][break] Red then comes back with this Eevee, questioning Erika as to why it was able to change the way it does and challanges Erika to a gym battle where he was easily defeated by Erika. Erika then states that she will kill the Eevee due to it's 'deformity' but Red uses Pika in order to protect the Eevee -- Angered by the fact that someone would kill another Pokemon due to it's odd looks. Alas Erika reveals that it was just a test to see which side Red was on and revealed that the real people that deformed this Eevee was no-one else but Team Rocket.[break][break]
&& Helping The Boss of Team Rocket?!
[break][break] Upon being in Fuchsia City, Red visits the Safari Zone, where even though he wasn't supposed to do anything except from watch -- He smuggles in a Poké Ball and catches himself a Nidoqueen where he ended up angering two Nidoking's that were fighting over her. He luckily manages to escape them but is then taken by a Victreebel to be eaten for an evolution ritual for the Bellsprout and Weepinbell, but just like earlier he manages to get away from them only to run once again into the two Nidoking's, which resulted in a fight between the Nidoking's and the Victreebel. Using this to his advantage -- Red catches both of the Pokémon and many others before he is finally found by the Safari Zone Warden. [break][break] Red unbeknowngst to him, ends up helping the Leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni to whom he believes is nothing more thana researcher out to get some fossils. To which he takes them to the Pewter City's Museum of Science via the Diglett's Cave -- Where he see's two Magmar setting the place ablaze. He then battles the two Magmar with Giovanni studying his moves, to which Giovanni deduces that Red is not a thread to Team Rocket since he lacks the cruelty, unfairness and brutality. Red is then sent on his way but before he does go, Giovanni gives him an Old Amber. [break][break] Wanting to reach the Seafoam Island, Red goes to the very bottom of a lake to retrieve the HM Surf, but instead he is confronted by a Dragonite and decides to use all of his other Pokémon to distract it -- Sadly only to have their combined weight crush the HM and trap Red's leg under a rock, to which he is eventually rescued by Misty who appears and drives the Dragonite off with her Starmie and Gyarados. The pair then trade Red's Krabby for Misty's Gyarados who knows Surf and Red makes his way to Seafoam Island, where he encounters Team Rocket again who are searching for Articuno. [break][break] Red ends up reaching Cinnabar Island, where he spitted Team Rocket once more and secretly watch them battle Blaine's Pokémon from the edge of a cliff. Sadly a member spots him and threatens to throw him off the cliff if he doesn't surrender. Blaine appears but with his Gyarados and the two of them easily overpower the grunts until they reveal their secret weapon, Moltres. The grunts disperse and Moltres gives chase to the two of them on Blaine's Rapidash. When nothing that they do works, Blaine ends up spotting Red's Old Amber and has him revive it as fast as he can, when Red get's it to revive, it is revived into an Aerodactyl and with that, he was able to drive Moltres away.[break][break]
&& Attacking TR's HQ
[break][break] Later on, Red, Green and Blue all end up failing to enter Saffron City, so Red decides to go to Pallet Town and ask Oak for some advice, only to realise that there was no-one there except for Sabrina and her Kadabra masquerading as Oak. Sabrina, Team Rocket's third admin then appears to him where he gets pinned down to the floor via Sabrina's psychic-powers where she challanges him to go back to Saffron. Blue then arrives and tells him that Saffon must be Team Rocket's HQ, and the also find out that Vee has gone missing. Saffron is protected from invasion via a large psychic barrier -- So with some urging, Green, Red and Blue all team up and with Pika's substitute and Green's Golduck's confusion the pair end up locating the source of the barrier which is Sabrina's Mr.Mime and defeat him which allows them access to Saffron City. [break][break] After a trap door splits him up from Green whilst in Silph Co, Red ends up running into Lt.Surge who was equiped with many gadgets that involved electricity and Electric-type Pokémon that was all powered by Zapdos. Red sends out Saur in defense and uses Razor Leaf to cut the electrical cords which caused Lt.Surge to get electrocuted. Red then swipes the Thunder Badge from him as well as a pair of gloves -- Upon which he finds Koga standing over a defeated Green, Red tried to stop Koga from killing Green but is restrained by Koga's Grimer. After a hard battle with the legendary Articuno, the same one that Red in fact had saved earlier on in his journey -- The two boys then defeat Koga, to which Red takes the Soul Badge from him and the pair split up once again. [break][break] Red ends up running into the Badge Energy Amplifier room, where he meets Blue, who hands him the Marsh Badge in exchange for his Moon Stone. Red then fits his seven Badges into the Amp before pointing it towards his Pikachu, Sabrina suddenly appears and though he points the Amp towards Pikachu the Amp fails to work. Green then reveals that the two Badges that she returned to him earlier were fake and escapes with the Amplifier, leaving Red to fight Sabrina. Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno are merged when Blue inserts the real Badges in creating a new pokemon. Combining their attacks, Red, Blue and Green eventually defeat the new Pokémon.[break][break]
&& An offer that needs REFUSAL!
[break][break] After everything, Red journeys back to Cerulean City to capture the 'Monster Pokemon' which only turns out to be Mewtwo, after attempting to catch it, Red and his Pokémon were almost sucked into Mewtwo's Psywave only to be saved by Blaine -- Red then uses his whole team to fool Mewtwo and ends up capturing it with a Master Ball that he gives to Blaine. [break][break] Later, Red ends up encountering Yellow who was being attacked by a Dratini within Viridian Forrest, to which he ends up helping her catch a Rattata -- Explaining to her how battling and catching Pokémon actually works. He then takes her back to Viridian City and finds out that Team Rocket have been releasing abused Pokémon into the Forest to make them stronger. He also ends up learning that the Gym Leader there has been absent for a very long time. Upon entering the Gym, Red finally meets Giovanni again, who winds up revealing his true intentions behind the incident at Diglett's Cave. Red is then challanged by Giovanni but with a catch; if Red loses he is to join Team Rocket. After a very intense and long battle that nearly destroyed the gym Red ends up victorious. Giovanni then offers Red to become the new Gym Leader of Viridina, but he rejects it only wanting to become a better trainer -- Where he sets of to go to Indigo Plateau. [break][break] With the badges that he had gained, Red was finally able to enter the Pokémon League, where he ends up facing Green in their final match, just as Oak notes how Green has become a lot more instinctual like Red, Red in turn has become more calm and is able to use his knowledge as well as his instinct. Red then ends up defeated Green and his Charizard with his Saur -- Where he becomes the Champion of the 9th triennial Pokémon League competition. This ends up making him interesting towards the Elite Four who are watching the battle from the sidelines. [break][break]
&& Here comes the ICE BEAM
[break][break] Two years later, Red receives an invitation to battle Bruno of the Elite Four at Mt.Moon, where during the battle Bruno stops to let several Diglett and Dugtrio pass and then Agatha uses her mind controlling powers over him to render him incapable of further battling. Red however get's confronted by Lorelei and Agatha together -- whom request that he joins them on their quest to wipe out humanity for the sake of Pokémon, along with this they wanted information about Giovanni so that they can find the Earth Badge to power the Badge Energy Amp that Agatha had retrieve from Silph Co rubble. When Red ends up telling the truth, Lorelei freezes him in a block of ice, making everybody think that he had disappeared since no-one had seen or heard from him in over a month. The only person that ends up escaping was Pika who winds up at the Prof. Oak's lab where he ends up teaming with Yellow. [break][break] Red's frozen sculpture is found by Brock, yet Red's actual body is nowhere to be found. Even Bruno who is looking for Red to finish their battle couldn't trace him. But it wasn't for a few months that it was in fact Giovanni who had rescued Red, enabling him to seek out his friends and fight the Elite Four no Cerise Island -- Red arrives just in time to save Bill and Lt.Surge where he's finally able to finish his battle with Bruno. [break][break]
&& To Turn down the Gym!
[break][break] Red a while later, is offered the new Viridian Gym Leader position -- Which despite flying through the tests with colours ends up declining due to the injuries suffered from when he was frozen. He was also asked to help Yellow to find Lugia in Johto but this two he had decline for the exact same reason. He then learns from Blue of a place where he can heal his wounds and he leaves to recuperate at the springs on Mt.Silver with Green's Charizard and Blue's Blastoise -- Only to meet Sabrina also there to heal the same injuries. Sabrina then informs him of the Gym Leaders meeting in the Pokemon League to which later he arrives at the scene in time to save Green, Brock and Erika from a train crash. [break][break] Red and Green then travel underground with Green's new Rhydon towards the Ilex Forest, where the villainous Masked Man headed. Along the way they end up meeting Bruno and Koga, two former enemies who end up helping them on their way -- Who end up telling them about Celebi. When the arrive at the Forest, Red and Green along with other Dex Holders then team up with several legendary Pokemon to fight the Masked Man. During this battle, Red actually ends up learning that Yellow is a girl. After the battle he ends up having Gold ( who for some reason seemed impressed by him) come with him to train at Mt.Silver. [break][break]
&& NEW CLOTHES?!
[break][break] A few years later, Red makes a re-appearance, having been off training -- Wearing a new jacket (jeez you'd think he'd have other clothes). Red and Green meet up with the Professor at the lab where they end up finding mysterious messages that asked them to leave their Pokedexes and head straight over to Vermillion City, and that was exactly what they did. Upon reaching Vermillion City, the two board the Seagallop Ferry in order to get to the Sevii Islands where they also find Blue being attacked by Deoxys. Soon after they are confronted by the newly formed Team Rocket Admins, the Three Beasts along with Deoxys who was under the control of none other than Giovanni himself, where they found out that they had kidnapped Prof.Oak once again. [break][break] After this -- Red ends up undergoing special training under Ultima on the Two Island, where his Saur (now a Venusaur) learned the legendary grass-type move Frenzy Plant. However, Red was still defeated by Deoxys, who he somehow shared a strange connection with -- After this battle, Red lost the confidence to fight, but after a while he ended up re-gaining his will where he understood the meaning of his connection to Deoxys. Mewtwo makes an appearance where he offers to battle under Red's command -- The pair then arrive at the Team Rocket's helicopter that was hovering over Viridian City, where Giovanni was searching for his long lost son, Silver. The pair then once again laid out a rather long a fierce battle, Mewtwo managed to defeat Deoxy, however victory was rather short as Car (one of the Three Beasts) rebelled against Team Rocket and after placing his Forretess all over the helicopter and ordering them to use explosion -- Which ends up taking over the helicopter. [break][break] Whilst Deoxys transports everyone else aboard the helicopter to safter, Red stays behind to defeat the Forretress and to stop the aircraft from blowing up over Vermillion City, within the process he discovers that Deoxys absorbed a sample of his blood when it broke free from Team Rocket's lab before all of this -- Afterwards Red ended up getting turned into stone along with other Dex Holders by Sird's beam that was originally inteded for Deoxys. [break][break]
&& Made of Stone we became
[break][break] Red along with Blue, Green, Silver and Yellow were all transported as statues within boxes on the S.S.Tidal via the other Dex Holders to the Battle Frontier for their salvation -- For a fair few months he remained a statue til Emerald liberated him and the others via a wish that he made via Jiraichi. Once free Red and the others helped fight Guile Gideout, within the aftermath of the battle, Red and others participated within the Battle Dome Tournament, which ultimately ended up with Emerald claiming the Tactic Symbol. After this -- Red goes back to training for a few years in order to keep getting stronger. [break][break]
&& Brought back to the fray
[break][break] After being out of the trouble, Red ends up getting a dire call from Bill who informed him that the Ruby and Sapphire shards that were taken from Team Rocket had turned into Orbs -- Bill told him that he feared that something may happen and requested that Red were to come over to help him with the shards. Red goes to Bills with Blue and Daisy -- Upon arriving, they find that Bill had been attacked by two men who had stolen the orbs -- Red and Blue left Bill in Daisy's care as they went after the two people that had just stolen the orbs via the tracking device. [break][break] The pair end up in the Hoenn region and eventually catch up to the thieves who end up being none other than Maxie of Team Magma and Archie of Team Aqua, they over-hear the plans to use the orbs for some purpose in which the pair decide to battle the two leaders all in order to avenge Bill along with taking the orbs back. Ofcourse Maxie and Archie started their battle via pulling out their mega-evolved pokemon -- But Red and Blue countered this by using their own. Red and Blue manage to defeat them but end up being startled by the appearance of Groudon and Kyogre where Maxie and Archie end up using the orbs to Primal Evolve them.With the increased power, Groudon easily defeat both Red and Green by smashing them under a pile of rubble. [break][break] Afterwards, Red wakes up inside of a strange building, only to find that their belongings and Poke Balls and all been taken away. They then end up meeting Blaise and Amber who also had their stuff taken -- Pretty soon they found out that it was actually Giovanni who had taken their stuff, having taken them all onboard his Team Rocket airship, where he ends up revealing that he wants to help them stop the meteoroid that was incoming. [break][break] Red then travels with the others to Sootopolis City where they end up finding Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald discussing a plan to destroy the meteoroid -- Red and his group then demonstrate that it was still possible to Mega-Evolve outside of battles, with this revelation Red listened to Giovanni's speculation that the meteoroid could actually be a pokemon from out of space -- Blue then ends up suggesting that they gather allies from Hoenn, Kanto and Johto where they combined their power to slow down the meteroid, where it was revealed to be another Deoxys. [break][break]
&& Losing the voice
[break][break] After the meteoroid, Red went back to Mt.Silver feeling the need to train harder as to not get defeated again by the likes of villains and mega/primal evolutions. During the training there was a landslide upon the mountain which was about to fall and crush Red, but like most other times -- Poli came tho save the day, pushing Red out of the way Poli ended up getting hit by a bombardment of rocks and fell off the side of the Mountain. Red searched for 3 months within the area trying to find his best friend, but found nothing -- Distraught at not having been able to find his partner, he made a grave which was just a pair of bigger to smaller rocks pilled up onto each other at the place Red last saw Poli. [break][break] With the loss of his partner, he never really spoke again, he would just end up giving grunts and moans towards things but it was as if with the loss of Poli -- It was the loss of his voice. [break][break]
&& Off to Lyeant we go!
[break][break] With oddly much talking from Green, he was convinced to go to Lyeant -- Upon landing, he departed rather quickly away from the other Kanto holders, not only wanting to learn about the area, but he also wanted to train his team as to not lose another partner like he did with Poli. Red kept his distance from the Kanto Dex holders and majority of the other dex holders as he just felt like he needed to stay being a lone for a time being, not being over the 'death' of his Poli. [break][break] Where will Red's adventures take him next? Will it take him to re-joining the other Dex Holders or will it keep him distant from them? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON TO BITTER ENDINGS! [break][break]
there is nothing left to take, but i still try to reach. try to swallow it all down, yet i can't seem to breathe. just a single pill of mine, nothing else would suffice - i take it in, now i'm alive. my phone is set on lock, and i don't really care. there's a tangle and a knot that i cannot repair. i'm a tragedy, i'm ugly, i'm trying to hide. i say "hello", then wave "goodbye". see me fall down - let me die here slowly. nothing goes right, not a trace of honestly. i'm to blame, so i'll remain. black, white; day, night; it's all the same. see it run down - cut away, no worries. say no more. i can surely say that i've had enough. i still refuse to believe.

see me fall down - let me die here slowly. nothing goes right, not a trace of honesty. i'm to blame, so i'll remain. black, white; day, night; it's all the same. see is run down - cut away, no worries. say no more. i can surely say that i've had enough. i can't remember - that very day, that very day changed me. happiness died like a light i carried. i'll sleep tonight and hope to finally leave a world which i don't believe, a life which i don't need, and then i'll finally be free.
PLOT IDEA #1 every day would be the same. nothing more, little change. if i cared, it would mean nothing: it's all such a pain. friendly bonds are so unneeded, i don't give a dang. a busy life is what i am. could it be that family was a way of escape? didn't know if it was right, so i threw them away. couldn't take it anymore, i had taken enough, so then i hide my need for love.[break][break]
PLOT IDEA #2 lay me right down, let me sleep, i'm restless. cover my eyes. when i'm up, i'll finally fade away, here, today. give me a reason: then i'll stay. if i could fly, if for only a moment, there wouldn't be such a need for casualty. i'm alone, and that is how it'll be.

Red gave a fair few blinks upon the noises of what sounded like a Pokémon battle was erupting, turning his head slightly once he was being spoken to -- Being told to leave a 'dangerous place', something like that just made him give a silenced laugh. There wasn't anything that the brunet was even afraid of, or perhaps it was because he was just numb towards it all now, he's been injured that many times that more often than not he doesn't even recognise when he's broken something.[break][break]
Ofcourse he still feels the ice sensation which often causes his joints to tense up, despite being fully healed from it the mental scarring was still there. The brunet decided to stand up, only to dust himself of the dirt when he was crouched on his knee's -- Pika swiftly running around before hopping onto his trainer's back, perching itself upon Red's right shoulder. His hazel hues then glanced between the disruptive Pokemon and their apparent trainer who was actually the one telling him he should head back into town, to which he only just shook his head, he honestly wasn't afraid and felt sorry that the trainer obviously didn't have as much control over his team as he should be.[break][break]
It should be clear that if anyone saw how Red was acting, that he wasn't just any normal trainer -- Nor was he any bit hesitant or stepping backwards, just standing his ground firmly but in a rather calm fashion. Red was quite glad that whoever this guy was, he didn't recognise him, or at least he was hoping that he didn't.
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.
In all honesty, they should meet up again -- I mean obvious Red is trying to avoid other Dex Holders atm due to the fact of what happened with Poli. But like I'd be totes down to thread with Sapph seeing Red.[break][break]
Okay so with the Tapu -- We all know that Red wouldn't even break a sweat at all from fighting him?? He's had harder challanges but I like this idea of Tapu learning that there will always be people out there stronger than you & all Red really gets out of it is the fact that he is able to battle.[break][break]
Mmm with Entei -- You might need to like explain a bit more on that? XD No-one really knows what's happened to Poli, he might be alive still but no-one knows about it & Red hasn't really TOLD anyone ya'know?
?
