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?

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

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!

[attr="class","coldasicenbox"]Selina Silver[break][break][break]woo, post.
[attr="class","coldasicepost"][attr="class","coldscroll"] Something told her that she didn't really have much of a choice in the matter currently. Not that she'd be making any different one right now all things considered. She was far too weak right now to be making any long treks, and judging by the messages Tenchi was sending her the Meowstic was in agreeance as well. Kiara sighed, relenting to the woman as well as her own Pokemon as she nodded slowly. "Mm. I suppose that's fine, if it isn't too much trouble," she said, calm eyes watching Selina intently as she listened to the rest of what the girl said. Looked like her sister? Kiara wasn't too entirely sure of that, seeing as how the body she inhabited now had been her's for its- no, her entire lifespan. She was beginning to have trouble keeping the Kiara and Latias components of herself separate, especially since it seemed as though it was always her own voice echoing around inside her head, even when she knew that it belonged to the legendary spirit within her.[break][break]
"I've heard that a lot of people vanished during the war. Thankfully my family is still in Mossdeep City, as far as I know. I haven't gone to visit them lately, what with helping the wild Pokemon deal with the aftermath of it all." The fact that so much of the region had been decimated hadn't helped in the slightest, and wild Pokemon were always more prone to aggravate when something was amiss in the world around them. The Union had expected them to calm down at this point, but she could still sense so much fear in them.[break][break]
Almost as if it wasn't over just yet... But for the life of her Kiara couldn't figure out why that would be.

[attr="class","coldasicenbox"]@sasha[break][break][break]Insert some sort of pun here
[attr="class","coldasicepost"][attr="class","coldscroll"] She nodded. Everything had a reason, huh? She wasn't entirely sure she believed that completely, but she kept quiet, mulling it over to herself for a few more moments until Sasha reluctantly announced that his break was over. She made a small noise and stood, her self-taught elegance making itself known that she'd had time to recover from her crash. It was probably a good thing he had announced his break ending, she was fairly certain that Tenchi was going to start getting a bit antsy here soon, and a nervous Meowstic was never the easiest thing to handle.[break][break]
She walked out of the break room with a smile aimed at Sasha, his wishes of perhaps seeing her again a welcome thing to hear as she moved towards the entrance to the shop, turning around and leaning against it just enough that it opened slightly. "Perhaps the next time it won't be me crashing in front of your store either- and hey, if you ever want to know where my residence is feel free to ask Annie. Arceus knows she's there often enough as it is," she said, her smile genuine as her eyes seemed alight with a boundless joy. She stepped back, the door opening enough that she ended up using her hand to keep it ajar.[break][break]
"Perhaps the next time I'll even bring my Partner Pokemon along." She couldn't help but laugh softly at the thought of Tenchi attempting to make friends. Not that the Meowstic wouldn't be giving it an honest effort. She paused for a moment more before letting out a slightly happy sigh, raising her free arm up to wave farewell to the Altaria. "See you around, Sasha." With these words she stepped fully out of the store, the door swinging slowly closed behind her as she turned and took a running step before jumping into the air, a red outline forming over her as she took flight. Sasha was right about one thing: Break time was indeed over.[break][break]
It's not like the Pokemon-related troubles of the region would simply fix themselves, after all. But first, she had to stop back home. She found herself very dearly missing the company of her cat.
[attr="class","coldasicelyric"]we could be legends
[attr="class","coldasicepost"][attr="class","coldscroll"] Kiara laughed nervously, a hand instinctively reaching down towards Fi as Kiara glanced over, returning the smile sweetly before turning her attention back to the conversation at hand. "You could say that... She ended up roping me into a group of her's a while back," she averted her eyes as she spoke, slightly embarrassed to mention Omricon, though considering Sasha had mentioned he knew Annie he may already be aware of it. Especially considering the nature of their... 'glorious' leader herself. Kiara sighed softly to herself, remembering in stark detail all of the misadventures she'd managed to get herself wrapped up in over the course of her time in the team.[break][break]
First and foremost there was the fact that they couldn't keep their headquarters for more than a month or two at a time, or so itseemed, which meant that Kiara's home in Firefly Springs had more of less become the de facto HQ of the team quite some time ago. In fact, a few members seemed to prefer spending their time in the forest cabin-turned-manor over the designated headquarters that Annie oh-so-desperately tried to keep paid. Kiara would offer to do so herself, but she didn't wish for Annie to start shirking responsibilities off to Squad Two just yet. Arceus knows Kiara had enough on her plate as a Top Ranger already. She barely even had time enough to handle the paperwork she needed to each night- let alone diverting funds to pay for a HQ among the other things Annie probably forgot to do on a regular basis.
[attr="class","coldasicelyric"]we could be legends
[attr="class","coldasicepost"][attr="class","coldscroll"] Of all the things Sasha had said so far, it was the comment about the superhero group that got the most noticable reaction out of Kiara. She rather visibly paled, looking off to the side as she remembered her experiences with the individual referred to as 'Captain Oblivious' within Omricon. She let out a soft sigh. She didn't know how or why Sasha knew their so-called 'fearless leader', but she couldn't help but admit she was rather curious to find out. She spared each of the Pokemon introduce a smile to their responses. Usually Pokemon were a tad more drawn to her, but she wasn't exactly concerned with the fact the three there didn't seem to much pay attention to her. If anything, she preferred it to the constant company she received from the smaller ones. Not that she particularly minded anyway.[break][break]
"S-So um..." she stammered, "that... that friend of yours. Her name wouldn't happen to be Annie Candor, w-would it?" She was honest-to-Arceus scared to ask, but her curiosity had gotten the better of her. She blamed it on Latias usually, but this time she was blaming it on the fact that she herself was a member of Team Omricon. Granted, as much as she thought herself the more capable Leader of the two of them, sometimes... no, most of the time, they handled things in generally the same way.[break][break]
Panic for a few moments, then ask their Strategist what grand scheme they came up with during the minor panic attack to get them out of this mess or otherwise avert whatever impending doom was about to fall atop their heads. Granted, Kiara always had a hunch Annie had modeled Omricon a little too much after her childhood show, which filled the Latias with a tad bit of a foreboding feeling that at some point they'd end up having to deal with a group of self-proclaimed "Super Villains" to counter their hero thing.

[attr="class","coldasicenbox"]Selina Silver[break][break][break]Memories of times long past
[attr="class","coldasicepost"][attr="class","coldscroll"] The suggestion of being walked home almost made Kiara laugh. They were in Eirenhyre, for Arceus's sake. While it was true that she hadn't quite known this girl for much longer than a few minutes, it was still an almost amusing thought to be walked all the way back to her house in Firefly Springs. The journey by foot took longer than this girl was probably permitted to keep the store closed, and so Kiara simply smiled and shook her head. "My home is a little far from here," she stated. "It just happened that I was just outside of the city when I ran into that Ariados." [break][break]
The friend comment was what caught Kiara off guard. True, she was known to be rather likable and dependable no matter what may come, but besides Tenchi she really didn't have many she could call a friend. Truth be told, she was often spending much of her days doing missions, which made it hard to generally socialize unless Omricon had lost their HQ in Veherna for the millionth time in the year. Kiara cast her gaze down slightly with a slightly sad smile before perking back up, her gaze returning to Selina as the girl made the statement about the Litten and luck, and then proceeded to ask about the uniform. "Ah, this?" Kiara responded, moving so that her uniform was far easier to take a look at. "This is a Pokemon Ranger uniform. I've, uh... basically lived in it for the last two years now," Kiara cast her gaze sideways as she made the last comment, be it the embarrassment or the fact Selina had said she looked cute in it, her face ended up taking on a slightly pink tint, a bit of color on her otherwise rather pale face. True, there had been days that were far slower than others, and some that made it seem as though the Imum War never happened, but on nearly every other day she was caught up in her Ranger duties, so often that she ended up having to order extra uniforms just so she was always wearing a clean one. [break][break]
Friends... that word was stuck in her mind, and she couldn't seem to shake it. Memories surfaced at the forefront, of another being who looked remarkably like herself at the time, only where she herself had been red, he had been blue. Latios... where have you gone?

[attr="class","coldasicepost"][attr="class","coldscroll"] Concern wasn't exactly something Kiara was used to being on the receiving end of, and considering she was still in uniform she really wasn't too terribly keen on showing up at a hospital... especially since she'd likely be referred to the nearest Pokecenter as some sort of sick joke once they realized what she was. Nevertheless, with a bit of a wave- though she was incredibly grateful for the fact she was managing to get the Antidotes and Hi-Potions for free, she made a slight attempt to wave away the woman's concerns. "Just got a bit too close to an Ariados is all," she stated softly. Thankfully her voice wasn't suffering too terribly from her ordeal, though the overtones in it that betrayed what she really was were a tad more prominent. The overtones themselves were pleasant, and had the rather unnatural effect of calming those who listened too intently. "I'll be fine, it's happened before." It wasn't exactly a lie, though the first time had been much, much worse. She'd gotten hit with Toxic on a mission back when she was an Area Ranger, and had ended up bedridden for a week because of it. That was, of course, back before she became a Gijinka, so there wasn't really any sort of cure except modern-day medicine and time.[break][break]
Which made her all the happier that Antidotes were a thing that worked on her. Tenchi tugged at her leg, just as concerned for her Ranger as the Pokemart clerk appeared to be. The momentary distraction meant Kiara almost didn't catch the question thrown at her. "Ah, my name is Kiara Chross," she responded, taking a deep breath to steady herself. And, really. The hospital visit won't be needed." Oh how she wished she was a Gijinka with Shed Skin. Levitate was fun and all, but when it came to ailments such as these she really wished she had the ability to just shrug them off. Though truthfully it did happen to do a slight bit for her health when the Pokemon seated itself atop her head. A Litten, even. Strange how she managed to draw Pokemon to her even while Poisoned. It was almost a concern in and of itself. [break][break]
Granted, considering she was Latias it made sense. Though she kind of wished she could share her own emotions rather easily, and she kind of figured that using her telepathy would be a little... unsettling. Though given much more time and she had a feeling this woman would start to sense that something was amiss.

[attr="class","coldasicenbox"]@sasha[break][break][break]There's the non-salty Kiara we love.
[attr="class","coldasicepost"][attr="class","coldscroll"] Quite frankly she was surprised when he mentioned he was born in Hoenn. It wasn't that she didn't ever expect to find someone else from her homeland, just that it didn't really appear to be too terribly common when the question was posed. Verdanturf especially, though she figured the city was bound to have had one or two who packed up and moved away. She nodded, tilting her head back slightly and casting her gaze up to the ceiling in thought as she counted years. "I've been in Lyeant for about 5 years now," she said confidently. She'd moved to the region when she was fourteen, and with her current being nineteen it was a simple calculation in all fairness."And it's a little interesting you mentioned you were born in Hoenn. I was born in Mossdeep City," she continued, a smile starting on her face as she spoke.[break][break]
Though what really got her smiling was when he asked what she did for work. No doubt he'd noticed her uniform, and she wasn't too terribly surprised he didn't recognize it. Rangers weren't the most widespread outside of Almia and Fiore, and as it was those regions didn't commonly hold much interest for trainers and other people unless they were looking to just get away from nearly everything. "I'm a Pokemon Ranger," she stated, "And, I hope you can excuse me bragging a slight here, I'm a Top Ranger as well, one of twelve in the world." She had a really hard time not mentioning that fact majority of the time. It was one of her crowning achievements, and considering how much of an elite group Top Rangers had a tendency to be, it was no small feat either. She did hope Sasha knew what a Ranger was as well, though considering the commercials she'd seen of late she didn't expect to have to explain. It seemed society regarded them as modern-day superheroes. Ironic, seeing as how she was also a member of Omricon, though she always kept that a bit of a secret.[break][break]
She was broken out of her reverie when the stampede entered the room, and she cast her gaze over to the items Sasha had procured and was making use of on the counter. She almost couldn't help but smile. While she had always been one who enjoyed seeing Pokemon out in more open spaces, she couldn't deny that some of those that lived in the city really enjoyed it, and seeing Sasha actually going so far as to make his own Pokemon food was something that warmed her heart slightly. It was rare to see people who did that nowadays. "I don't mind at all," she said, waving a hand as though to wave away the concern as she added, "I wouldn't have become a Ranger if I minded the company of Pokemon."
[attr="class","coldasicelyric"]we could be legends
[attr="class","coldasicepost"][attr="class","coldscroll"] To Kiara Chross, otherwise known as Eonia, it seemed as though Team Omricon used her house as their headquarters more often than the massive skyscraper they had in New Veherna. That being said, it wasn't as though she really minded. It was just a bit concerning when she looked in hindsight and realized she'd made her house about four times bigger because of it. This realization did, of course, come to her in the middle of the day after a half dozen Ranger missions and her standing in front of the fireplace of the "Den" as it was called, the underground portion of her house that she'd managed to convince a half dozen Sandshrew and three dozen Diglett to dig out for them before recruiting a myriad of Pokemon to help out with the construction.[break][break]
It was a miracle what could be accomplished when one was both a Top Ranger and psychic to boot. Though granted the large Omricon logo located on the wall behind her was enough proof that her house had basically turned into their de facto HQ. She stared into the flames with an impassive expression, her eyes half-lidded in disappointment as she grasped the reality of what was going on. She honestly couldn't tell if she was being used by the "all-powerful leader" of Team Omricon or if she was just helping Annie get over her stupidity one step at a time... or maybe she was enabling Annie's stupidity. It was hard to tell ever since Captain Oblivious started fawning over her. Though that was something that Kiara was keenly aware was her fault. They'd been talking about hidden identities and why they were important and the Ranger had foolishly let loose that she was Latias.[break][break]
Since then escaping Annie had become its own type of Ranger mission, and Kiara had employed every tactic from hiding under her bed to using her powers as Latias to make herself appear like a potted plant- albeit one with very oddly shaped leaves. In fact, she could almost count down the seconds before Annie found her. If timing was correct, she had thirty. Kiara glanced behind her to the twin staircases that curved upward to the higher level, and then to the Omricon logo in the depressed portion of the wall between them, where a circle inlaid into the wood between the two plants on either side would open up to reveal the more high-tech portion of the lair. The lair itself was a bit of a bunker, and was filled mostly with Kiara's Ranger stuff currently, as the rest of the Team had essentially monopolized the rest of the house.[break][break]
Nevermind, she did have a slight issue with it. She'd never been too fond of people company, preferring the company of Pokemon to individuals that spoke in a defined language. Kiara glanced down at Tenchi, the Meowstic still staring into the fire for a moment before turning towards the leftmost staircase as the sound of someone descending came to bear. The pair of them let out a collective sigh, silently resigning themselves to an evening spent dealing with the one person who could accurately be described as their "fangirl."

pardon my lack of tact, but it looks a bit like your face was formed by shoving flesh between two shovels. plus, your obvious confidence seems a bit more like arrogance than actual capability. perhaps if you spent less time flirting or beating people up you'd be able to work on garnering meaningful achievements or even some semblance of a likable personality, but I digress. perhaps you'll find an equally unappealing individual that can appreciate your talents one day.

[attr="class","coldasicenbox"]@open[break][break][break]o o f
[attr="class","coldasicepost"][attr="class","coldscroll"] It had been the most hectic morning in recent memory. Well, besides the day the War had started at least, and it had all started when an alert had come in for a high-priority mission from the Union. As the case had been since the War, there was no shortage of work for a Pokemon Ranger in Lyeant, much less one of the world's twelve Top Rangers. This time it had been an enraged Rhydon threatening one of the major trade routes between Irisia and Eirenhyre- closer to Eirenhyre this time, which had been a bit of a change. Things had been going smoothly up until a few unwelcome guests showed up. A Steelix and an Ariados to be exact, which complicated things to an extent Kiara wasn't in any way expecting. It wasn't that she'd never been in such tight situations- she was a Top Ranger, such odds were generally what she was meant to excel in, it was the fact that all three of them had been to the point of animosity that made it extremely difficult to calm them down.[break][break]
Of course, getting hit with the Ariados's Poison Sting probably didn't help. Dodging potentially fatal attacks was never a good idea while one was poisoned, and so she'd been immensely grateful when Tenchi had sent the Steelix flying into the Ariados with a well-placed, and rather powerful Psychic. [break][break]
Fast forward an hour or so, and the still-poisoned Latias was standing in a Pokemart in Eirenhyre placing a bag full of Antidotes and Hi-Potions on a counter, only barely kept standing by her Partner Pokemon standing on the ground to her right. She looked like hell, and she felt far worse. Thankfully these worked for her as a Gijinka, though if she had any choice she would much rather drop a few berries down her throat and be done with it. Regardless, she'd probably end up calling in for a day off so she could properly recover from the incident... as well as give a few complaints about the lack of further intel, though there wasn't much anyone could've done to really predict that.
[attr="class","coldasicelyric"]we could be legends
[attr="class","coldasicepost"][attr="class","coldscroll"] She had to admit, she felt a lot more calm once she got inside. The shock of crashing into the ground and subsequent rush to make sure she wasn't making herself any kind of unpleasant introduction had gotten her mind racing a little faster than she had wanted it to, but once she got inside and saw the Pokemon within- even earning herself a sidelong glance from the Swablu who promptly returned to napping- she felt Latias even calm down significantly, which was always an improvement. As she followed Sasha into the break room, she eyed the pair of Pokemon tending to the garden, it made a part of her sad, seeing all of these Pokemon within confined spaces, but at the same time she wasn't one to make decisions nor tell a Trainer how they should raise their Pokemon. After all, she'd done a few unorthodox things while raising Tenchi, and she knew for a fact she didn't care for anyone who wanted to tell her how to raise her Meowstic. And so she followed silently, taking a seat as Sasha retrieved the tear and set it onto the table before the male moved to grab his lunch. She herself was used to small meals and rations, when one was on a mission it was important to properly utilize resources, and having large meals was best saved for when you were at home or the Union, so while she wasn't unused to the idea of such a small meal, it did surprise her nonetheless. For someone who ran a shop, and who had so many Pokemon, you would think they're lunch would've consisted of something less... modest.[break][break]
Though she wasn't particularly one to talk. There were many situations where she'd gotten a touch of flak from her Operator about how little she ate while on missions, and speaking of, she almost looked a bit out of place among the setting in her primarily red Ranger uniform, her Styler secured firmly on her right hip almost as a badge of honor. She usually paid it no mind, but then usually she wasn't invited into a man's shop to have tea with him. Couldn't say she wasn't comfortable though. The place had a rather pleasant atmosphere to it.[break][break]
After a moment she spoke, eager to not allow any degree of uncomfortable silence to fall between them. "So, how long have you been here in Eirenhyre?" she asked. It was, essentially, the same as asking how long he'd lived here. Though regardless she wasn't terribly surprised she'd not been here before, even in her multiple years in Lyeant. If she made a trip into Eirenhyre it had always been for a quick resupply for things she couldn't have gotten in Irisia. The imports tended to be far cheaper here, and there were some things from home she simply couldn't live without.
[attr="class","coldasicelyric"]we could be legends
For some reason just hearing the man was another Gijinka, and a Dragon-Type as well, cheered Kiara up even more than she already was. So much so, in fact, that she almost let slip who she was before remembering that making such information blatantly public was likely to attract far more attention to her than she was capable of dealing with. However, the newfound information did cause the light in her eyes to brighten slightly, and within her mind Kiara heard Latias give a small cry of joy. Their constant solitude within Firefly Springs had caused them to wonder just how many others there were that were like them, if they'd ever come across another Gijinka or even if the other legendaries had suffered a similar fate to Latias. The Eon Pokemon was certain that her counterpart, Latios, had become a Gijinka just as Kiara had, and it was a bit of unspoken mission for her to locate him. [break][break]
That said, a lifetime spent as a Pokemon Ranger had taught her to never turn down an offering of free anything, and so she cheerily accepted the offer of tea, her head returning to its normal position as she listened to the male introduce himself. So he was a florist indeed, and the manager of the shop as well. Sasha was an interesting name though, uncommon for a male, though she wasn't one to particularly judge. She did, after all, spent a solid seventy to eighty percent of her time surrounded by wild Pokemon.[break][break]
Speaking of which, she vaguely wondered how Tenchi was doing. She'd left her Partner to 'hold the fort' so-to-speak while she'd taken the aerial route. It wasn't that she was worried, Tenchi was resourceful enough that Kiara could be gone for a few days before someone would really have to check on the Meowstic, but nevertheless the lack of her Partner Pokemon at her side was an empty space she felt intimately at this moment. She'll be fine, Kiara told herself, coming out of her momentary reverie to introduce herself to the Altaria.[break][break]
"Kiara Chross. It is a pleasure to meet you, Sasha... and," she hesitated but a moment, plucking words from the air as eloquently as she could, her voice maintaining the even, soft tones throughout as she finished her sentence, "if it truly isn't much of a problem, I'd be delighted to join you for tea." It sounded a bit more formal than how she had been speaking, but surprisingly enough it didn't come out awkward or even out of place. She shifted her weight slightly, centering herself on instinct taught through too much free time and a wide variety of books on high-class etiquette she'd gotten her hands on as a child. Oh how badly she'd trained into being the perfect image of a princess. It was almost ironic then that she was living in the middle of a forest, interacting with wild beasts on a day-to-day basis as though it were nothing new.
