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!
tbe: take two! is inspired by, but not associated with nintendo's pokemon franchise. the current skin was created by pharaoh leap using font icons primarily from ion icons and fonts from google fonts. banner art by vav of pixiv. characters, with the exception of canons from the manga, belong to the members who write them, and all posts and templates on site are credited to their respective authors and artists. we claim nothing that is not ours.

either a dark version of this skin or a new, dark skin altogether would be lovely, but only if you have time to work on one ;w;
otherwise, I think it'd be kinda neat if the site had a built-in, minimalist template for people who don't like looking for templates (or have trouble finding one for their character) but don't want to be without one? Like, maybe something similar to the template in the intro. post but without the huge orange header.

I AM NOT A BAD GAL
even though i do bad things
VERY BAD THINGS
such horrible things
Sometime after she'd first learned of the aquarium's existence, Aster made visiting a regular occurrence. Irisia might've been one grand aquarium, but she preferred this particular establishment's condensed state. There was something about watching the different Water Pokémon flit about underwater or play on the limited landmasses provided that evoked a gentle calm to embrace her. On particularly quiet days, she found the space granted her an opportunity to be alone with her thoughts. Not that it was the only place that allowed it, but no harm in a change of scenery every now and then, right?
But the aquarium's general tranquil atmosphere wasn't the only reason she visited. It was renowned for the Water-types that Irisia's own waterways lacked, exotic creatures found worldwide. Of course, she'd seen a majority of them—how could she miss the Pokémon that spawned whenever a certain leviathan threatened to drown out the land-dwellers? In fact, its collection of rare Pokémon was the primary reason the emerald-haired woman chose to return again and again. She wished to see if they'd added a new, special exhibit, containing a specific, unique Pokémon.
Like all her other visits, she casually browsed each exhibit one by one, moving on once she determined they didn't have what she was looking for. Kinda hard to miss something so large, after all. Aster spent extra time at the whale exhibit; if what she was seeking could be anywhere, it'd be there. With a vigilant gaze, she observed the Wailmer and Wailord swimming about, trying to see if there were even a sliver of a hint of her target's presence. After five or so minutes, however, the answer was clear:
No Kyogre yet.
"Ah, what a shame," she muttered, clicking her tongue derisively as she peered into the habitat with a sardonic grin.
if my heart were to move from me,[break] i would turn dark.

peacekeeper;
For millennia upon millennia, the Dragon Lord remained above the world's ozone layer, flying around practically endlessly. When it descends, it does so for two reasons: to rest in an isolated location—its favorite spots were the Embedded Tower in Johto and Sky Pillar in Hoenn—and to bring an end to Groudon and Kyogre's fierce clashes.[break][break]
imprisonment;
While resting within the Embedded Tower, Rayquaza was found and captured by the Pokémon Association. For a period of time, the dragon was contained in a research facility, its life at the mercy of researchers. Luckily, a rogue Salamence destroyed the facility, releasing Rayquaza from its prison.[break][break]
babysitter;
Five years after its containment, Rayquaza was found by a man and young boy while resting atop the Sky Pillar. The two managed to wake the Dragon Lord and convince it to take them to Sootopolis City to bring an end to Groudon and Kyogre's feud yet again. There, the dragon's roar, combined with the Red and Blue Orbs brought the legendaries' fight to a standstill. Once both had gone back into a deep slumber, Rayquaza attacked its controllers before fleeing back into the sky.[break][break]
savior;
Five more years had passed before Rayquaza was needed yet again, this time to prevent a giant meteoroid from destroying the planet. The Dragon Lord was once again sought out and discovered near the facility that once held it captive. Once again, the dragon fought back; however, it managed to be subdued by way of an orb held by a young man. Some aggressive outbursts and the impaling of one of its worshipers later, the legendary headed into outer space with the aforementioned man and a young woman on its back. With their help, Rayquaza was able to Mega Evolve and strike down the meteor, along with the Deoxys that emerged from it. After taking the two back to Earth, the dragon ascended, free once more.[break][break]
submersion;
Rather than return to space or to one of its resting places, the Dragon Lord decided to live among the humans, having become bored of its usual routine. She sought a human vessel worthy of harboring it, one who held a position of power and proved to be capable as a Trainer. Eventually, it discovered a woman who served as a Capo in some mafia (it'd get the details later). Impressed by the female's capabilities, it took over her body, taking on the first name of the only worshiper allowed to ride its back. The last name, Pendragon, came from some lore it picked up half a millennium or so ago. The sudden change in moniker was expressed as a need to take on an alias. It was generally accepted, though some remain skeptical to this day.[break][break]
Despite the mafia's affiliation with Parallax, the Dragon Lord discovered its vessel sided with the Republic, with a commitment to not interfere with certain Parallax activities. It had no qualms about these terms, actually rather satisfied that the vessel chose what it thought to be the "right" side.[break][break]
Of course, it hadn't forgotten about Groudon and Kyogre. Unsure whether they, too, had taken on a human vessel, the great dragon knew that there was a sliver of a chance it would need to leave to break up yet another idiotic dispute between the two.
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.
[break][break]
>>> 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.

if you picked the third option, you will be caught in an endless spiral of being nearly killed only to be healed and then nearly killed again and so on. have fun with that life.
