Pokemon: Dark Cloud

[Relliks Ban]

Pokemon: Dark Cloud

Plot

Forget all you know of the world of Pokemon. The Peaceful aura and the helpful nature of the Pokemon world is all but lost in the dark cloud that hangs over the land in these days. Now you will find only war and survival of the fittest. The world of Pokemon has plunged into darkness, the peace being replaced by hate and helpfulness by vengeance. Now is a time of war for the Pokemon world, for all regions and the beings living upon its surface. This is the final stand of both the human and the Pokemon species.
Long ago, when outgoing trainers would leave on their journeys to defeat the league, around the year of 2008, the world of Pokemon was peaceful. Trainers would choose the perfect Pokemon to accompany them on a wondrous journey through the many regions of the world to make new friends and train hard to defeat that in which would make them Pokemon masters.

Yes all was perfect; children and adults of all ages and sizes could guarantee a happy life! That was until one day, when a dark cloud consumed the entire earth and plunged it into an lasting darkness. A Pokemon of unknown origin appeared, its eyes cast on fire and its body black as the cloud that hovered above the earth. It sent out waves of dark power which turned all Pokemon that inhabited the earth into carnivorous beasts which would hunt all humans down to the last and dispose of them in a wave of bloodlust and then turn on each other and drive the world into an eerie silence.

Even now in the year 2015 the dark Pokemon has not been identified and the earth is still consumed by the swirling dark cloud that appeared those many years ago. Crops have been hard to grow and many parts of the earth have been thrown in to poverty. Places like Goldenrod and Safron city, the once rich cities of the regions are the only towns which haveyet to be completely destroyed by the unnatural beasts that plague the world, but alas they still suffer the curse of having to deal with rogue Pokemon which slowly dispose of human kind.

The human race have fought these wild Pokemon for 7 years now, and there still is no sign of peace returning to the world, they begin to worry that the world is doomed and that there is no hope left what so ever. Every human is asked to have possession of weapons to defend themselves, and people are not aloud out unless properly trained and aided by weapons which could destroy a Pokemon in one blow. Caves have been blocked off by huge boulders for the most part to disallow both human and Pokemon to pass beyond what they know and the seas have not been crossed for over four years because of both the ongoing storms that have taken the seas and the horrific demon’s that lurk below the surface. Forests are home to mutating flying beasts and humans are advised to not tread to deeply lest they get lost in the unfamiliar surroundings, not only that but the Pokemon have doubled in strength and speed and people are now advised to travel in large groups if they are to travel to another town.

People are asked to lock all doors and keep loved ones close at heart for tomorrow they may not exist. Families cower in fear of loosing their lives as well as their loved ones and they are forced to kill all Pokemon who approach them before they themselves are attacked. Even the common Ratatta proves dangerous for its quick moves and sharp fangs can bring down a human in seconds if bitten in the right spot. Humans have even been know to have a side effect of the ‘disease’ the Pokemon carry; huge boils mark they’re body and they fall under heavy fevers as well as being immobile for the most part. The only cities that can provide any sort of help to these unfortunate individuals are the main cities such as Saffron city and Lillycove, otherwise they are most likely to be lost within a few days, some even go mad and attack those around them like the Pokemon have been doing. Another side effect caused by the dark cloud was that a handful of people were effected in the same way as the Pokemon and will attack anything that moves, cannibalism is they’re main concern and those unaffected by the cloud are advised to kill all those who they recon effected by it, but of course people are easily scared and many innocent lives have been lost in this dark time, some even lost to those that they loved.

But there was hope yet. Towards the end of 20011, there was a shimmer of hope in a small laboratory in Saffron city Kanto. They had managed to capture six Pokemon and begun the project of producing chips that would take control of the Pokemon’s emotions and return them to normal, not only that but there was word from Sinnoh that some sort of a cure for the humans had been found, though they were still working on perfecting it. Many brave people had volunteered to be test rats and many have either died or been badly affected by the ‘remedy’ and quarantined, slowly being driven to insanity.

You see, when the dark waves produced by the dark Pokemon that appeared towards the end of 2008 consumed the Pokemon, their thoughts and feelings were not erased merely covered over by hate and bloodlust. Below the thick coverage of these negative feelings lie the Pokemon’s true thoughts and feelings, all that needs to be taken away is the think shell that keeps these thoughts from shining through.

And thus started the project of creating a chip to overcome the disease that overtook the Pokemon and return them to they’re normal selves. It was a challenge, and many humans were lost in the progress of this dangerous task, killed in cold blood trying to return these Pokemon’s true feelings. This is the journal that has been kept since the paranormal activities began:

January 2nd 2009

The cloud has consumed the entire world and Pokemon are beginning to rid the world of human existence. It can only be the doing of the Unknown Pokemon that appeared along with the cloud upon the time of its forging. We have received reports of many attacks on humans by Pokemon who have fallen victim to the dark powers of this cloud.
We are discussing a plan which will hopefully return Pokemon to their normal composure, but at this early stage in progress we are not sure of what is causing the change in personality in the Pokemon nor are we sure of how to over come it. Hopefully in time we will devise a cunning plan to rid the world of this unnatural source.

Dr P.K Jones

January 22nd 2009

After capturing and successfully dissecting a Ratatta, we have discovered a dark liquid like substance consuming the Pokemon’s brain, we are not sure of what this substance is made of, but it is the reason behind the change in personality of the Pokemon, we are sure of it. We must devise a plan that will remove this substance from the head of the infected without killing the Pokemon, unfortunately it is easier said than done and we have had to risk the lives of our work force in order to catch more test subjects.

Dr P.K Jones

February 29th 2009

We have lost many volunteers to the wild Pokemon after they bravely tried to capture these wild creatures and bring them back for experimenting. May their names go down in History for their bravery and dedication towards the project and giving their lives for the sake of the world.

David Zackary- Born 1972, Died 2009
Bethany Davied- Born 1987, Died 2009
Corry Hopkins- Born 1976, Died 2009
Lorain Hunter- Born 1969, Died 2009
Kiori Okochiro- Born 1988, Died 2009

May they rest in peace.

Dr P.K Jones

December 1st 2009

We have had no luck in producing a successful plan that will turn these Pokemon back to their normal selves. We have had many failed projects, but not one has been successful as of yet. Near a year has past and the cloud still consumes the world. Crops have failed to grow and many parts of the world have been forced into poverty, soon there will be no food left to keep the human race stable.
We have been forced to gather as much supplies as we can from abandoned houses and train those we have in our compound to wield weapons, they range from young lads of the age of 8 to seniors aged 80, as you can see we are struggling to survive as it is. We have had to relocate underground for our own safety and build hardy doors from the metal scraps that our men bring back from they’re patrol, the Pokemon are growing more and more vicious and Pokemon which were not native to our surroundings are starting to appear, which can only mean that neighboring cities are suffering along with us.

Dr P.K Jones

May 19th 2010

A group of Pokemon was able to penetrate our defenses a few days ago, we have spent the past week burning all bodies left behind and rebuilding our defenses. This is not good, the Pokemon now know where we are based and it will be hard for us to seek supplies from now on, another approach is needed. The dead included many young souls who put themselves on the front line along with fellow scientists and fighters, the smell of blood is overpowering now and it is only a matter of time before we all follow the same path. They will be missed.

July 2nd 2011

Success! We have had a pang of hope in our studies, for a brief moment upon entering a chip into the brain of a chosen specimen (Pidgey); its personality was returned to one of contentment until it sadly passed away. We are verging on the path of true success; it will only be a matter of time in till we devise a working chip that will keep the Pokemon under control for a longer period of time. We found that the liquid substance in the brain is highly magnetic, though not removable because it has been completely absorbed by the brain, we have found that by making the chip magnetic we can concentrate the liquid to one point in the brain, reducing the effect of the disease! Sadly it is not a complete success, but we are working on a better solution.

Dr P.K Jones

March 7th 20012

Dr Paul K Jones sadly died today upon treating an experiment. He asked me to continue his train of thought in this journal and so I shall.

We have been able to produce a chip that has worked for a longer period of time than the first, but are still working on a complete success.

We will make Paul’s experiment a success in his honor.

Dr C Nettle

August 9th 2012

The chip is still far from being a success. We have managed to stabilize the experiment Pokemon and kept it from dying, but we still cannot fully control the Pokemon. It seems that the chip is not strong enough to control the disease and the Pokemon is prone to random fits of rage where a small amount of the virus is not trapped within the device and in that small amount of time it is likely that the Pokemon will attack that which is most near to them, we cannot allow this chip to be passed just yet, we must work on a stronger device that can hold the full amount of the disease and completely reduce the risk of the Pokemon succumbing to the fits.

October 31st 2013

Our city has become a waste, a post apocalyptic waste! There is little to not food left in our supply and the river is beginning to completely dry out because of the lack of rain, it is not long before we will be forced to devour that which we fear the most, Pokemon.

August 15th 2014

We have finally created a successful chip. The experiment has remained alive now for a month or so as far as we know and has still not passed on. He has not shown violence towards me or my co-workers and after many years, we have finally found a solution.

We will now continue to capture Pokemon and insert the chips.

Dr C Nettle

December 31st 2014

We have received word of sighting of a peculiar Pokemon lurking in the deepest pits of Mount Silver in Jhoto. We have reason to believe that this is the Unknown Pokemon that we have been searching for. We are sending out volunteers to investigate along with the renewed Pokemon to keep them safe from harm.

They have been asked to keep journals of their progress through the regions and have been given weapons to defend themselves. With any hope these recruits may give us the information we need to defeat this Pokemon and return the world to its previous status.
They are our only hope, and we are surly running out of supplies.

Our prayers are with them and we wish them luck.

Dr C Nettle

Sum Up:

It is the year 2015 and you are one of the recruits mentioned in the journal to carry out this dangerous task. You will travel with your Pokemon companion in to the deepest pars of the regions and report back with any information on the dark Pokemon you may find.

Your Pokemon partners have been treated for the unusual behavior they once suffered and are now the best companions you will ever get. There is a small snag and that is the actual chip, if dislodged or destroyed the Pokemon will immediately revert back to they’re carnivorous ways.

Now, battling Pokemon is not at all like it once was. Prepare yourself for gore and violence, for you will be killing these infected Pokemon if they advance upon you. You carry a weapon of your choice along with a chosen Pokemon that will attack on order, not to knock out, but to kill.
As for the setting, well there is little to nothing left and the world is rotting…fast! You are to travel through a post apocalyptic world with mutated and carnivorous Pokemon and rotting scenery, there is no knowing what you will find lurking around every corner. What appears to be quite a quiet place could in fact be the main breeding ground for a highly dangerous Pokemon. The plant life is near to non existent and there is very little water left in the world, which is of course going to prove hard, you carry a hefty amount of water in your back packs, but when that has gone, you will have to seek your own refreshment. As for food, well for now you carry rations given to you by the underground compound, but as soon as that runs out, it’s hunting for you.

You are to keep a journal of your progress through the regions, then report back with any news on the unknown Pokemon and the ‘dark cloud’. You carry a Pokedex which allows you to communicate with Christopher Nettle back at the base, but be wise on how you use it as power is limited for your handheld.

I assume you all know the rules. No this, no that. You know. Keep posts to at LEAST two paragraphs. No double posts, blather blather. And put skizzlebutt at the top of your temp if you read it all.

Name:
Trea Sekushi

Age:
26

Gender:
Male

Appearance:
Trea wears the traditianal pokemon ranger clothing. Before the cloud hit Earth, Trea was a Pokemon Ranger in training. He was 19 at the time, and just leaving the academy.

Mr. Sekushi

Personality:
Before the dreaded cloud struck the Earth with it's darkness, Trea had a very outgoing and carefree personality. He didn't take a lot seriously, yet graduated the academy at the top of his class. The students envied him, simply because he never tried, yet achieved so much.

But around the year 2010, Trea's personality took a drastic change. He became fairly serious, yet kept his childlike personality, not wanting to face the fact that the Earth was destined for doom, and pokemon would never walk side by side with humans.

Weapon:
Trea keeps a simple metal rod like thing. It's simply to knock out pokemon, rather than kill them.

Pokemon:
Sableye

History:
Trea's father was Goldenrod's best Pokemon Ranger. He was adored by the town, and loved by pokemon. He was everything that Trea wanted to be when he grew up. So at age 10, Trea started his pokemon journey, begining with Shinx. At age 15, after placing third in the Jhoto league, Trea was entered into the Pokemon Ranger Academy, in hopes to achieve the power his father had. By this time Shinx had evolved completely into a Sableye.

At 19, just days before his graduation, the cloud hit Earth, ruining everything that anyone had ever lived for. And like every pokemon, Sableye had fallen ill to the "sickness" that every pokemon had. Trea's mother, a scientist working along side scientists such as Dr. Jones, brought Trea with her to the lab, giving him a shelter from the horrible place that had become Earth. But on their way to the lab, Trea's father was bitten by a Growith. He fell ill, and died moments before they reached the lab.

That's when Trea knew he would have to give up Sableye. He let his partner go, forever loosing his friend to the darkness.

Years later, when a cure was created, Trea nominated Sableye as a test subject. But how you say? Sableye left years ago you say? Seeing as all pokemon had their memories, they're thoughts, just surpressed by a shell of darkness, Trea would be able to bring Sableye back, by a simple whistle. His father had given him a small whistle, which he whore around his neck, that would call his pokemon back, whenever it would run away. This had to work.

With one powerful whistle, Sableye came running towards the base. But being consumed by the darkness, he was a raging beast, coming to destroy. They captured him, began the testing, and Sableye proved to be the first pokemon compatable with the chip.

Now, 2015, Trea sets out with Sableye, and the other people in search for the dark pokemon.

I'll have a go at this, it seems interesting enough

skizzlebutt (lol XD)

Name: Draco Carvhall
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Description:

Draco is commonly seen wearing a pair of black cargo pants, black shirt, black sneakers, a black/white army vest of sorts and also black leather gloves. He is average size for a 22 year old and has longish black hair. He has blue eyes and a semi-muscular build.

Personality: Draco used to be a friendly person, willing to get on with anyone. He had many friends and treated everyone, even pokemon with the respect that they deserved. When the cloud hit and chaos erupted into the world, Draco's personality changed from seeing such a catastrophic revelation. He now is a lot more serious and finds it hard to trust pokemon anymore.

He started to wear black clothes a lot, but is not to a point of living a gothic lifestyle (he weras black clothes, but isn't gothic/emo etc.). Draco has found some hope in his new pokemon partner, but is still unsure if the carefree life he once knew would ever return.

Weapon:

Desert Eagle (50 Calibur)
M8 Assault Rifle
Two one-handed axes

(Note if I need to reduce weapon numbers)

Pokemon: Charmeleon

History: Draco was rather upbeat and carefree in his life before the cloud. His parents owned a cafe in Goldenrod, and business was good in those days. He enjoyed hanging out with friends and even did well in school , his whole life was in front of him and wanted to help run the cafe while trying to work towards his dream of being a professional marksman.

One day when wandering the fields outside of town, he stumbled across an injured charmander. Not being one to leave an innocent creature, he took it to the local pokemon center. In an act of kindness and gratitude, Charmander became Draco's partner and even evolved to a Charmelon after months of hard work.

Then the cloud hit, darkness poured over the town and all the pokemon began to act ravenous and wild. Charmeleon attacked Draco and almost killed him when his parents rushed to his rescue. Draco then had to do the painful task of abandoning Charmeleon outside the city as it was just not safe to keep him anymore.

Years past with Draco still thinking about his partner and it hurt him inside. Years later, Draco was approached in relation to a possible cure for the condition that pokemon were in and to help try and eradicate the source of the mayhem. Draco agreed to it, but asked if they could find his Charmeleon again and be subjected to the cure.

After much work, they found his long lost partner and gave him the remedy chip. Draco was overjoyed at the fact that he was reunited with his partner. Draco took a new sense of resolve and swore to stop the monster that was affecting the pokemon.

I would join...But I'm not that creative...

[Crisis Break]

Name
Suzanne Moriarty.

Age
Twenty-two.

Gender
Female.

Description
Her usual sophisticated attire of simple black t-shirts and slacks have been dirtied by dust and tears from encounters with vicious Pokemon. Suzanne has lost all care for her appearance, although her natural beauty manages to shine out despite her apathy. She has dwindling, wavy brunette hair and dark, moody crimson eyes.

Personality
Sophisticate to the heart, Suzanne is simply here to undertake the mission at hand, although she does slip out emotion, mostly in the form of silent contempt at a failed operation or the simplest form of heart. She does care about others, but prefers not to show it.

Weapon
Poison Ball- It is a strange Poke Ball-esque creation, although it is not a new concept; previously it was used to stun Pokemon for photo capture. Heightened with more powerful forms of toxic potency, it now possesses the capability to render Pokemon unconscious. Stronger Pokemon can adapt to these balls easily, so it is more a weapon of escape.
Electrode Zaps- Small orbs of electrical energy contained in hardened Bulbasaur sap. When thrown and if it successfully shatters, a powerful shock comparative to a Thunderbolt is employed upon nearby targets. These orbs of sap have been charged with an amount of energy an Electrode can possess in a lifetime, making these fatal.
Tonic Potions- Not so much of a weapon. These eccentric potions were brewed using the most "unique" ingredients, ranging from Gloom fumes and Muk slime to much more acceptable components, such as Jynx lipstick and Miltank milk. Although these are unorthodox creations, they cure almost every ailment and replenish even the most exhausted. She picked up a pack of twenty-four from a medium she met in Lavender Town. There are only thirteen left at the start of the roleplay.

Pokemon
Zangoose.

History
Suzanne was a trainer long ago, possessing a roster of four Pokemon; a boisterous Ivysaur, an impulsive Zangoose, a peaceful Butterfree and a newly caught goofy Haunter. Her Pokemon journey had lasted her as far as Lavender Town. In the process of investigating the Pokemon Tower, a clear blue sky began to change. Watching from the window at the top of the tower, Suzanne began to see, unknowingly, the start of the upturning of her world. Clouds swirled and dissipated in light of another replacing them; a gaping and humongous fog. For one second, she saw a pair of devilish red eyes from the sky focus on her. Then, darkness.

As soon as darkness fell upon Lavender Town, Suzanne felt her belt rip and fall shattered on the floor, popping open all of her Pokeballs to reveal her entire set of Pokemon. One by one she saw their eyes turn red like the ones in the sky. As they soon made the change from Pokemon to monster, pairs of red eyes began to appear from everywhere around her. The ghosts of Pokemon Tower awakened in the storm. Horrified, she tried to escape the tower, but the ghosts and her own Pokemon held the door- her only escape.

With nowhere left to run, all she could do was jump.

Suzanne awoke in a blacked out and closed off Pokemon center being tended to by a tearful Nurse Joy. She later learned that Nurse Joy had been restrained to killing the Pokemon she had been hospitalizing because of their sudden lapse in hostility, and that she remained in Lavender Town's Pokemon center. After a week of treatment from Nurse Joy, she ventured out with makeshift supplies she had obtained from the trapped patrons of the center; Poison Balls from a Pokemon photographer, unorthodox potions from a medium, and strange glowing orbs of sap from an eccentric.

It has been two years since then. Joining the forces of a Saffron City laboratory, they had been able to fortify her makeshift weapons into fatal ones, as well as being able to track down one of her former Pokemon and revitalize him- Zangoose. With her uneasy ally and her weapons, Suzanne had volunteered to scope out this mystery Pokemon, determined to rid the world of it.

I'll Join this, for some reason lately I've been hooked on darker RP's

[FinalSora04]

I'll join this, forgive me if i seem to be a bit slow, i haven't been on in a while........i'll edit my temp in later

Edit:

Name: Zeek Creecio

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Description:

Personality: Zeek was once a kind, friendly and ,for the most part, a quiet young teenager. The recent events occurring on Earth within the past few years have changed him. Now he barley talks at all, unless it's completely necessary, and he doesn't have some of the nicest things to say. But deep down, the old Zeek is still lurking.

Weapon: Buster sword (held on back), and a katana (held in scabbard on left thigh)

Pokemon: Houndor

History: Zeek's life has been good and bad. He lost his mother when he was about seven he and his father had to move to Harthome city for better work. That same year, his father caught Zeek a houndor for his birthday and Zeek and houndor have been best friends ever since.

Zeek was about ten when the dark cloud engulfed Earth. Zeek's father was a research scientist working on the cloud project. He was sent out with three others to try and capture the rare and dangerous Salamance. Luckily his father prevailed in the attempt to capture it, although he lost two of the three others that were also on that mission,he was severely burnt. His father was immediately sent to the hospital. Even though all seemed well for Zeek and his father, about six days after Zeek's father was injured, the hospital was completely destroyed by rampaging rydons, killing Zeek's father in the process.
