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
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!

She'll be here for a while.
So might as well call it home while she could right? It always amazed her how the city itself was designed to be similar to a paradise for humans - a metropolis one could easily categorize it as. She left her apartment early in the morning to take a scroll outside of the city walls either in Eirenhyre or in the wastelands that were left behind as a result of the recent war that tore the region itself apart into three distinctive factions. From what she picked up, each faction had it's own goals and it's own positive side, while also sporting a negative side. In her case, she chose the side of which could off her the most information and access to technology in the shortest time possible.
But recently, she's been able to gather enough information as it is. All that was left was the take a scroll around town and make a mental map of her surroundings and the layout of the city itself. It'd be weird to be flying around and about on Jiggly, especially when she was the one who was trying to conceal her identity at the moment. Last thing she would want are the other dex holders finding out about her little swap over, and it would be even more dreadful if they labelled her as a traitor for one reason or another. Still, it would also sadden her quite a bit if they really just didn't trust her as much as to think that she might have been brewing up some ploy in that pretty little head of hers.
The brunette made through the doors and into town, making quick strides down the clear and rich path separated by a fence from the water. As beautiful as Parallax had made it's own domain to be, she just couldn't agree with them valuing human safety over pokemon. As she was making her quick passing by down the path, she witnessed a man standing by the water go suddenly get attacked by a Magikarp of all pokemon.
By splash.
Perhaps the most harmless move to ever exist, she'd say that it was pretty effective against that man and his fancy everything. She snickered at his misfortune and, failing to retain her composure, she burst out laughing as she watched the scene unfold. It was amazing how people could react so differently under certain situations - she happened to find it entertaining to watch another person's misfortune. "Hah! Looks like splash is pretty effective after all!" The Kanto native giggled as she approached the man. A smug smile was plastered on her face, however she was civil enough to pull a piece of clothe from her bag to aid the poor, drenched man. "You alright there? You cussed preetty loudly.." Hah.. No. She wasn't going to stop bothering him. Looks like she found her time killer for the day, and perhaps in the best way possible. Even now, she was giggling at how foolish he looked in public, and in front of Blue.

The look of pure shock on his face was absolutely priceless.
Hadn't she known any better, she would have burst out laughing right there and then. She knew fully well that Ditto didn't do that well of a job, but it wasn't a total loss because she got to see that usually serious face make a nearly baffled expression before her. It was enough to make her forget about the panic that made her head implode earlier, nearly warmed her own heart in the process. It's been a while since they had seen each other, so something as light-hearted as this was actually pretty nice. Her lips curled up into a smile as he spoke to her, pretty much seeing through the failure of a disguise like a heated knife cuts through butter. Heh. Good to know that he knew her well enough to know the extent of her concealment abilities with the use of Ditty. But her cover was blown, oh well.
Blue reached her hand up to her own face and grabbed onto Ditty to tug him a bit. The pokemon got the hint, and slowly began melting off her face and stuck onto her arm instead. It slowly climbed up the limb to her shoulder, now revealing the bright blue eyes and the clear smirk on her face upon being able to clearly see Green without that failure of a mask stuck to her face. A carefree giggle escaped her, for the image of a baffled Green was enough to break that earlier composure. Seriously, you have to admit that the look on his face was hysterical. In all honesty, she was actually really happy to be seeing him. There was the temptation to begin messing with him right off the bat, nagging her like it were an addiction of sorts, but she digressed.
With a sly smile plastered on her face, the trainer tilted her white hat upwards to get a better look at the gym-leader before her-- Hold up. Hold fluffing up. Did he get taller? She could have sworn that she didn't have to tilt her head up that much last she saw him.. Or maybe he just happened to be wearing shoes that made him look taller. Whatever it was, nothing could deter her from the prideful gleam in her eyes. "I think they did a pretty good job, did you see the look on your face?" She started as her hand reached back down to grab the ditto's pokeball and recall the little purple glob of.. Whatever it was. Still, her smile didn't waver while her gaze shifted up to meet his emerald green eyes. "Never would I have thought that I would live long enough to witness a shocked Green."
She has seen a shocked Red, and she has seen a shocked Yellow. A shocked Green right in front of her was just that rare. Hah.. That was a god laugh though. That was the extent of her teasing, and honestly speaking that took a lot of tension off her shoulders. Doesn't mean that she wasn't curious as to what he was doing in this region anyways; but whatever it was, she probably shouldn't be prying in his business-- What was she saying? Seriously, probably ate something she wasn't suppose to if she's thinking things like that. It was probably because she was just so stupidly happy. She smiled, a lot, but he was probably the only person who could turn her mood from cautious to lax in a literal snap. "It's great seeing you again though." She spoke quietly, but it was more meant to be said in her head and not out loud. Whoops. Before she knew it, he actually decided to speak up first to break the ice.
Woah woah woah. Hold the phone.
Green. The serious, ice prince Green was trying to have a conversation with her? She could feel flattered, if she didn't want to tease him so badly. It probably annoyed him, but that was all the more reason to do so. Buuut it's been a while since she has seen him. Cut him some slack, and actually act civil. You're an adult for crying out loud. Not going to lie, it was actually a surprise to hear that he was staying with some gijinka. "Lets see.. I probably met some, and didn't notice. I heard that they are cute little creatures though. I'd love to meet one sometime~" She mulled it over, until she remembered that she met a Celebi gijinka just the other day! Ah.. Well. She already answered his question, and what's a girl without her fair share of secrets? "Now it's my turn to ask some questions." She grinned as her arms crossed over her stomach, and then cocked her head towards the side. "What's Viridian City's Gym leader doing in such a bustling city? You never really struck me as a city boy."

The old and the broken were places of interest on Blue's list. In fact, they were the only places that left the most evidence of something standing, something that was worth knowing about - something that just didn't want to be buried in history just yet. She was far more interested in Old Veherna over the New Veherna; specifically because this was the site of a war zone. Nowadays, nothing more than the petty thief can be found rummaging the once bustling city of it's former glory - or what glory it had left. Admittedly, it did pain her a bit to see just how badly this war has torn the region apart both physically and society wise, but it wasn't like any of this could be fixed. Sure, there were people who wanted to prevent the war in the past, but it would have been impossible for only one person to per say avoid this catastrophe. The only thing she could do was do some field work and gather something - anything - to bring back and take a look at. She also wanted to see if she could find anything regarding the artificial gijinka, seeing that the Parallax have been hinting something on that.
From what her current research told her, the gijinka were creatures who were just as capable as pokemon despite retaining some of the aspects from their pokemon counterparts. She had also caught wind os legendary gijinkas; gijinkas of legendary pokemon. Perhaps they fused their soul with the vessel? But then how did they look and how exactly did they blend in with society? She couldn't quite wrap her head around it entirely, but she knew that it would be bad if the Parallax would be able to get their hands on such a power and experiment with it. Her best bet was to lay low after the necessary exploration. It was a pain, because she would need to be scouting and studying the region while also on her toes for the other Dex holders. Hell, she has already run into one of them.
She weaved through the ruins of a city, each foot touched down only to push her forwards down the path of the now abandoned residences. She certainly hadn't expected to find any company here, let alone someone who looked to be.. Quite well off, actually. Not only that, but she could only stare in awe at how chipper they looked, and uh.. Had they met before? How did they know that she once carried the legendary birds themselves on her? No, before that, how were they able to speak so casually with her? Blue was genuinely puzzled, but she chose not to pursue it by returning a bright smile. "Hello you little cutie~" She beamed, with her bright blue eyes shifted to look at their figure. The tone of their voice and the expression of their face was empty, but they looked cute enough.
But what was someone like them doing here?
She couldn't help but to ask, and so she kneeled down a little bit to reach their eye level, elbows prompted against the top of her knees to keep her upper body more or less straight. "What's someone like you doing here? It's dangerous with all the shady people running around and about." She cooed. What concerned her the most was the fact that this kid knew she once owned the three birds, so she would like to be asking that at some point.
