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!

ompared to the other members of the league, she was new. Inexperienced and at possibly the greenest stage as she had never seen a Pokemon League in Lyeant. Not one that she had participated in to any degree. To Makio Sumeragi that meant that she was many steps behind the other three members of the Elite Four and that frustrated her to no end. Yes, there was always much further to go in terms of improvement but being this far behind - it never happened for her. The pride she wielded would never allow it. Unfortunately this same pride caused her to challenge people time and time again to improve her strategies, not to mention to purely get stronger. It felt like a disgrace that she could not keep up as quickly as the others. Being younger than them made things even worse.
In short, she was desperate to prove herself just as strong as the others. One of the reasons she'd requested to specialize in the Normal Type was because of the flexibility of type combinations. Each of her Pokemon had a strength and a weakness, but another member of her team could easily cover it. But she knew that the man standing opposite had a wider variation. A greater arsenal of choice. It was a privilege that came with being champion, or so she assumed. Still with a decent strategy and a plan, she was confident that there was a chance to overcome this. Once or twice in the past she had managed it successfully but not consistently which was infuriating, but a part of life. The Aipom sitting on her shoulder would shift slightly, giving her reassurance in what she was doing and a smile would creep onto her face. Her pride would be injured if she lost (again) but it would be a learning experience either way.
Her eyes flicked to the Pokeball in her hand, within was her fire-type partner. Would this be enough?
"Chivalry isn't a quality that is usually valued in a Pokemon battle." she would quip back, shortly before raising the Pokeball in her hand toward her face. It was beginning to heat up; her Pokemon was ready. The only person who - perhaps - that wasn't was no one other than herself. Another loss would hurt. A win would be uplifting. No she needed to eliminate those thoughts now before it was too late. They would throw off her game, stop her thinking straight. She wasn't that desperate nor would she ever be. One quick breath before she tossed the Pokeball into the air, releasing the Pokemon within. Pyroar would be able to counter two of the Champion's Pokemon at the very least which gave her the upper hand. Her second choice was Heliolisk who had the ability to counter three. One Pokemon she was concerned about was Daniel's Luxray who she struggled against each and every time.
Little did she realize the presence of the soon-to-be-known camera wielder standing nearby.
How many yearssss..... uuuh not sure. I like to think she's one of the newer members; probably hasn't seen a Lyeant League yet although she's seen other region's live. I didn't think this too far through o o p s. Okay Daniel please do not enable this girl her pride and ago do not need boosting any further s o b. She will definitely bounce it back (slightly mind you) with smth like 'you're the champion having someone powerful to battle against tends to help' and still be frustrated that she can't beat him yet. Pride is a powerful sin 8')[break][break]
MEDIA HOUNDING OH MY GOSH YES PLEASE. Maybe all of this in one thread? So they start at the end of a battle, chat then get hoarded and have to make a run for it? makio likes being known but hates being swarmed by the press lmao I can get something started or you can? I'm so excited to get the ball rolling
okay okay so. I love Danny so much and just let me have all the Elite Four stuff tbh. Now I know that the Champions aren't always associated with the Elite Four but look I'm braindead and I was like OPPORTUNITY and going for it. Danny is one of those people that would seem really endearing to Makio and she'll basically tell herself not to get too close but unintentionally will. [break][break]
I'm guessing he was the Champion long before Makio became a member of the Elite Four so maybe he might have been someone who noticed her skills idek what I'm saying I'm literally just throwing out ideas. Maybe they've battled once or twice as well? Because I know Makio likes making sure she has all her strategies set out in place just in case so she tries a few times to overcome him. But who KNOOOOOOWS[break][break]
So yes I'd love to just chuck them together and see what happens. I know she can be pretty self-centered at times while looking down on other people but has a definite soft spot for this guy and won't let him say anything self-loathing or stuff like that because NO. IF HE CAN BEAT HER THEN NO. save me i'm sorry
starin' down a long, empty hall! pictures on walls all with your name, but it's not the same...! lookin' for the chord i can't hear! been searchin' for years! it's somewhere inside, but it's well disguised...!
forever is a long time, they say! and maybe someday, i'll meet you there if you've time to spare...! so tell me, then, where i can go where they won't know who i have been! and can we start again?
ANIKI is a MALE pokemon. it's ability is SKILL LINK. it seems to have a GENTLE nature.[break][break]
Makio's closest partner. They were raised together and began journeying together. Aniki has yet to evolve because Makio didn't want to teach him Double Hit. Aniki is always the Pokemon that challenges underestimate.
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.

>>> FRIENDSHIP
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.
