Pokémon Ultima Tournament - Toho League (IC)

by **The Union of Myanmar** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 3:23 pm

The Toho region was, for many millenia, unique for its complete lack of Pokémon that avoided it at all times. Thousands of years ago, a massive object crashed into the continent and created a large crater. After the strange series of earthquakes and volcanic activity that followed the impact, the continent split into six islands that now surround the crater. For centuries, humans have attempted to reach the fabled center of the crater, but none have survived the journey. Until fifty years ago, Pokémon have mysteriously avoided the Toho region altogether.

In the last century, Pokémon have begun an unexplainable migration to Toho in large numbers. Stranger yet, enormous deformed Pokémon have been spotted around Toho’s three legendary mountains. Scientists and Pokéologists believe that these ‘deformed’ Pokémon are native to Toho and are originating from somewhere deep below the region, possibly from a place near the object that crashed many years ago.

Now, most people do not spend their time searching for the legendary Pokémon. Instead, the Toho Region is now home to the Ultima Pokémon Tournament. The best trainers from the regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova have rushed to the Toho Region to participate in the annual Ultima Tournament where the famous trainer Ash Ketchum is said to be one of the eight gym leaders.

A group of trainers have arrived in the small town of Bayshore with hopes of becoming the first Ultima champion! Some trainers are participating just to win the tournament. Others are joining to experience life in Toho, and the opportunity to find the legendary Pokémon. However, from the depths of its failure, a young man and his criminal syndicate will make a mark during the Ultima Tournament to dash the contestants’ hopes, and put fear in its place...

Tent woke up from his sleep. His partner Bagon was next to him already awake. "Hey there buddy are you ready for today?"
"Bagon!" the little dragon pokemon replied. Tent got his stuff and walk down the halls,"Wow i must be the first one up. "
Trent got out of the house and began walking to Professor Pine's lab.

"Hurry along, James! We don't have all day!" said a woman with long crimson hair. She crouched down behind a bush and brought out her binoculars.

"But Jessie, aren't we getting ahead of ourselves?" said a man with blue hair. "They've only just arrived."

"Yeah," said a Meowth with a most annoying voice. "But the boss don't care. They've got Pokémon, and he wants 'em. Gimme them binoculars!" He grabbed the binoculars from Jessie and took a good look at the trainers in Bayshore Town. Meowth chuckled.

"Well? What is it?" whined Jessie. "Do they have Pokémon or what?"

"Pipe down!" snapped Meowth, "They might hear your yappin'. From the looks of it, this group is just a bunch of losers. That scientist looking guy's got 'loser' written all over his lab coat. He don't even look like he can put up a good fight."

"With a book maybe," said James. The three broke into eye-roll inducing laughter.

The scientist looked at the bush they were hiding in. His name was Dr. Ko, a contestant in the Ultima Tournament. Jessie, James and Meowth ducked and didn't move an inch. After a few seconds, Dr. Ko walked back into the Contestants' Dorm.

"Now look at what you've done, James. He almost saw us!" Jessie smacked James on the back of his head.

"Hey!" groaned James. "I was just trying to lighten the mood."

"I don't think our boss' will brighten up if he knows how lousy of a job we're doing," said Meowth.

"Meowth's right," said Jessie. "We need to focus. Let's pick someone to attack. They don't know how to use their Pokémon yet. We should be able to steal it oh so easily."

"Agreed," said James with a nod.

"Get down!" screeched Meowth. "There's a trainer walkin' over to the Professor's lab..."

The bumbling trio sat in the bushes waiting for a moment to steal an unlucky trainer's Pokémon. Of course, being the bumbling trio that they are, Jessie, James and Meowth forgot that the trainers competing in the Ultima Tournament are either the best at battling or have much knowledge of Pokémon.

Bayshore Town

It had been a long boat ride from Hoenn, almost 3 days away. Bringing only her trusty Poliwag and a suitcase, she headed for the unknown, studying the region was nothing like emerging one's self in it. Although having no proper port or harbour, a fenced off piece of land acted as a makeshift dropping zone. The unladylike chore of hopping over the dividing fence was slightly embarrassing, maybe because Alexis fell on her face, or maybe because her dress was ripped in the process.

"Poliwag! Did anyone see?" She said rather angrily at her companion.

"Poli-Poli." It replied, shaking its head and smiling.

"Ok then, but make sure you stand beside me so the split in my dress is covered."

The short trek to the dormitories wasn't full of people, and so Alexis was fine, however she did think that the dorms would be full of other trainers waiting to challenge the league, she didn't quite know. Walking into one of the dorms, she walked over to a desk with a women at it.
"Hello, is this the place we sign up?" She said sweetly, leaning slightly over the desk, and pushing Poliwag to the side of her leg as to not reveal the split.

Josie the dorm receptionist welcomed Alexis. "Yes, this would be where trainers in the Ultima League will start their journey. Welcome to Toho." These lines were obviously scripted and memorized. "Here are the keys to your room." She handed Alexis a pair of keys. "And here are five Pokéballs courtesy of the Ultima Tournament Committee."

She noticed the cute Poliwag. "Oh, how cute! This must be your starter! Have you given your Poliwag a name?" Josie could have fainted from the cuteness of the Poliwag.

Meanwhile outside...

"Tehehehehehe..." giggled James. "Did you see that rip?"

"It's not funny," replied Jessie. "It's really embarrassing for women."

"Yeah, yeah," meowed Meowth. "Didn't you notice that she doesn't keep her little Poliwag inside the Pokéball?"

"Ooooo... That makes the job much easier," remarked James with a wide smile. "So how about it? Should we bag that Poliwag?"

"Ehhh, hold off on that. I've heard rumors that somebody's comin' with a Spheal," said Meowth still peering through the binoculars.

Jessie smirked. "Mr. Frost over at Ventria Town would love to get a Spheal. He's almost got enough Pokémon to find that legendary in Mt. Blizzaga. An extra Spheal wouldn't hurt. We'd be payed handsomely, too."

OoC: This is my first time on this kind of RP, don't expect too much...

IC:
Bayshore Town

Kenneth Jamison walked into the small town where he had moved to, clutching the Pokéball in his hand after a short walk. He'd moved here from Hoenn and had registered at the dormitory, leaving behind all his stronger Pokémon to start with the Deino inside. So far all he'd seen it do was sleep and eat. Maybe, when he went to Pokémon Professor Pine's lab Pine could tell him how to get the Pokémon to work with him, like the Blaziken he'd received from Professor Birch back in Hoenn, or the Mightyena and Manectric he'd caught with them.....
Does your last name have to be some kind of tree for you to get that job? Kenneth wondered as he passed a small bush on the way to the laboratory.

Eric walked into the building for the Ultima Tournament and waited behind a girl with a poliwag, the woman across the counter was almost blushing from how cute the water-type was.

He slinked open his bookbag, that already had a little hole and brought out his Magby.

"You ready Magby? You have got to be tough, okay? Mom isn't here to kiss your boo-boos."

"Maaaaaa-gby!" Magby said proudly.

"That's my, Magby!"

by **The Union of Myanmar** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 5:15 pm

"I'll help you, sir!" said a man behind the reception desk at the dorms. "Hi, my name is Jason. I work here at the dorms and make sure contestants are made welcome here." Jason crossed his arms and took a good look at the boy. "Hmmmm, you must be Eric! Pleased to meat you. You may be wondering how I know your name. You see, everyone who's Ultima Tournament staff must memorize names and faces of contestants. It makes the process go by much faster. I see you have a Magby. It looks pretty awesome, if I do say so myself."

He leaned towards Eric and whispered, "Between you and me, I think fire Pokémon are more rad. Josie over there loves water Pokémon though. Try not to battle Alexis and her Poliwag right away. Wait till you train your Magby. It can evolve into a wicked Magmortar!"

He led Eric up to his room. "Here's your room and your keys. You'll be sharing this room with Kenneth and Trent. I've already checked-in Kenneth and Tret. Kenneth has a dark-type Deino, and Jake has an dragon-type Bagon. You might want to travel together, or you could travel on your own. Ask your roommates. For most of the journey you'll probably be staying elsewhere though. It's a hassle to come back here every night. Poké Centers have rooms for all contestants. Right, now I've got to head back downstairs. I hope you have a fun time here in Toho! Oh! And you could drop by Professor Pine's lab if you want. Kenneth and Trent are going there right now. You could always stay in of course, but it doesn't hurt to make new friends. Alright, seeya!"

Jake had finally made the last stretch of his strenuous swim to Bayshore town.
"Ugh... Im too tired...But I must...."
He weakly got out the water in his dark-blue speedo his dad had forced him to take, then opened up his waterproof backpack and went into a bush to quickly pull a bathing-suit and a shirt on. After he was done he walked over to the water and whistled. His Sphel slowly rolled out the water and over to Jake.

"Hey Bud, looks like we are finally here..." Jake said as he weakly picked up Sphel.

He messed up his hair, took a deep breath and began to walk into the Dorms.

"Uh...Hello? Anyone here?" Jake said knowing that he would be able to stay conscious for just a few more minutes.

by **The Union of Myanmar** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 9:35 pm

"Holy Shiftry!" said Jason as he rushed down the stairs towards Jake. "You look damn tired. Don't tell me you swam all the way here. It looks like you did though. Well, that's really impressive. Once your Spheal learns how to Surf, it ought to be able to carry you along the rough seas. Until then, you two along with all the other trainers are going to have to use a boat to get across the Sea Routes. The Pokémon here in Toho aren't afraid of attacking the boats though. You can catch some water Pokémon when such opportunities present themselves. Ah, but what am I doing talking about this stuff? You need a warm place to stay. Come on up to your room, Jake. Here's your keys."

Jason handed Jake room keys and brought him upstairs to his room. It was modest in size with one regular bed and a bunk bed. You're sharing this room with Mel and Gale. Mel's got a neat psychic Pokémon and Gale has a poisonous Nidoran. Sorry for putting you in with those two. They seem friendly, but their Pokémon scare me personally."

Jason leaned down to pet the Spheal. "Now aren't you a bubbly little fella." He pat the Spheal on the head and got up. "Well, make yourself comfortable. You can head out anytime you like, really. The first four to get all eight Ultima badges get to be this region's Eltie Four. And only one of the lucky four will be the Ultima Champion."

Jason walked out the room but stopped to say one last thing, "Oh, I suggest you keep a close eye on your Pokémon. There's been some thefts lately. You wouldn't want to start off with no Pokémon at all now would you? I'll see you later! Hopefully at Mt. Ultima Stadium? Alright, take care now!"

A short while later, in a bush not too far away . . .

"Mmmm, that was one fat Spheal," said Meowth. "I wanna serve it on a platter. But look at these two walkin' over to Professor Pine's lab."

Jessie scoffed, "They'd better not ask her questions about the ancient myth."

"Do you think the myth is even real?" asked James. "What if we're doing all of this for nothing?"

"It's real all right," said Meowth. "I've been doing some reading—"

"Since when did learn how to read?" Jessie asked. She looked at James who just shrugged. James was more modest than Jessie who had a huge personality.

"I can talk, can't I? Anyways, I snuck into the boss' room at the top of his club in Inai City. I found some books that he's always reading. There's supposedly this new legendary Pokémon that lives in the three main mountains of Toho. There's this electric one—"

"Ah!" said James. "That must be why he wants us to find ground Pokémon! Electric types are weak against ground types!"

Jessie nodded. "And don't forget our other job: keeping these pesky trainers from knowing too much."

Meowth yawned. "It's gettin' late. I say we head back to San Dialga. We ain't on no time strict schedule anyways."

James yawned as well. "I agree. I'm getting tired, and my Yamask is getting hungry."

"Fine!" said Jessie tersely as she got up. "Then we'll intercept one of them on their way to San Dialga tomorrow morning."

Professor Pine was in her lab and checking the results of some recently collected field data. Her face was lit with awe and fascination as the data brought her closer to proving her theory about the meteor in Crater Lake. She looked out her window and noticed two trainers walking towards the lab. She turned off her computer and walked outside to greet them.

"Hello. Are you two here to compete in the tournament? My name is Professor Pine. Are you here to see my lab? Well, then follow me."

She brought Kenneth and Trent inside to her lab. It was a massive lab filled with assistants rushing from one computer to the next. A large map of Toho was on the wall, and the research team had scrawled all over it. The writings accumulated around the central Crater Lake area and near the three elemental mountains. On one of the many desks, there lay three golden Pokéballs that were slightly larger and bulkier than the typical Pokéballs. The Pokéballs were hooked up to a generator that hummed with energy.

"So, how may I help you two young gentlemen?"

Gale Millers
Toho Region
Bayshore Town
Day 1 Of The Ultima Tournament

Gale sighed in relief as he saw the buildings of what he assumed was Bayshore Town growing larger in the distance after every step he took. His little purple Nidoran, Enma, walked beside him, happily taking in the scents of the foreign land. It was the first time for both of them to travel to another region, though it had been a decision made after many days of thinking. The black-haired youth had hitched a ride on a ferry of one of his parent's friends to Toho, but then had been left to his own devices. He had managed to find the starting point of his new adventure, Bayshore Town, without getting lost by the alien terrain, but that was but only step one of the journey to complete the Ultima Tournament.

"Sure is a nice place huh, Toho. Don't you think so too Enma?" The poison-type pokemon replied happily with a series of quick chirps of 'Nido'. It never really said anything else, to be honest, but then the little fellow was good company, and a good fighter too. Gale had seen to that before he had left, and being the child of his parent's pokemon, it had sure lived up to their legacy.

He waited in the lobby of the dormitories, silently taking in the interior of the building. I wonder what kind of pokemon they'll have here. And what name the professor here will have. What trees haven't they used up as names already so far?

Kenneth wasn't really sure. He had his Pokémon- his brief experiences in Kanto and Hoenn he'd received a Charmeleon and a Torchic. So he replied, "Yeah, I'm here for the tournament." He thought about his earlier gripe-to-self about Deino and said, "Is the signup for the tournament at the dorm, and what kind of Pokémon are here, and where would be best to train?"

by **The Mesozoic Era** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 6:36 am

Eric walked into Prof. Pine's lab and stood next to who he assumed was Tent and Kenneth. He noticed that Ten was busy so he decided he'd talk to Kenneth about training together.

"Hey, man. My name's Eric, the guy at the dorms said we'd be sharing rooms so I got to thinking... maybe we should team up? So we can train and trade between the three of ourselves."

As Trent was walking down to Professor Pine's lab his Bagon tripped and fell down! Quickly Trent help Bagon back up to his feet.
"You need to watch what you are doing there buddy. And that was also a little embarassing, good think no one saw that."
"Bagon" was all the embarrased Bagon could say.

Being caring for Bagon Trent didnt notice that Professor Pine was talking to him and another trainer he didnt notice.
"What?! When did the get here?" Just then another trainer came and the two trainer were now talking. "Great here come another one."
Trent went up to Professor Pine to introduce himself. "Excuse me Professor. My name is Trent Gale and im from New Bark,Town. Im here to compete in the Toho Ulitma Tournament." Then he looked around the lab. "Huh not much of the difference from Professors Elm and Birch labs." he thought to himself.

Trent then walked up to the two trainers to introuduce himself as well. "Excuse me my fellow trainers. My name is Trent Gale and this is my Bagon."

"I haven't given it a name in all honesty, I find them a little, corny if you will. I remember in a contest in Hoenn there was a bot who's Wingull was called Gulwee, so I'd rather not".

There was silence for a moment until a trainer came in and lined up behind her, he had a Magby. He was subsequently called over by another secretary.

"So where is my room, and, what should I do after unpacking my things?"

by **The Union of Myanmar** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 8:55 am

Professor Pine smiled. "I'm glad you're all becoming good friends. And you've got a rival you say?" She pointed at Trent. "That's actually good. A little competition can make your Pokémon much stronger. Speaking of training Pokémon, I should say something special about Toho. See, Pokémon have just recently begun migrating to this region. Most, if not all, are still in their most basic form. For example, there are a lot of Magikarp, but my lab has yet to come across a Gyrados. Professor Oak from Kanto has sent one of his assistants called Dr. Ko. He's here trying to figure out why Pokémon more easily evolve when with trainers. Now, when it comes to training, it most depends on what type of Pokémon you have. Generally speaking, Grass routes have plenty of normal-types and are great for general training. Snowy routes, like the ones near Mt. Blizzaga, have more ice-type Pokémon. Jungle routes are filled with bug types. Sea routes are filled with water Pokémon of course."

She thought for a few seconds.

"Oh! And the most interesting thing about Toho: each route and location has unique Pokémon. For example, you'll never find a Weedle outside of Route 14. Keep your Pokémon's type in mind when trying to train or catch Pokémon. I hope I've been helpful. Come back anytime. I'll give you guys a call if I find anything interesting. Ciao!"

OOC: "Phone calls" done through telegram only to people who have met Professor Pine.

"Cool, lets head out, the more training time we get, the more likely we'll beat the other competitors."
Eric lead the other two out from Prof. Pine's lab and stood at the edge of route one, "Okay guys, here it goes. New adventure in Toho..."

Eric didn't want to force the others to move too quick so he said they can catch up to him in the second route. He brought out his pokeball and sprung out Magby before continuing any further.

Eric wondered down the route, speed walking to get to route 2 when he noticed something odd. His Magby was ahead of him, looking dead on at him. But, how did he get over there?

"Magby! How'd you get over there!?"

"Magby?" he heard behind him, "Ma-magby!"

Eric quickly turned around, and saw that his Magby was behind him still. Eric quickly placed things together in his head, this must be a ditto or something, what other pokemon can take another's shape?, Eric turned his hat sideways, like an old skilled pokemon trainer once did on TV.

"Magby! Use ember!"

The real Magby quickly responded and spouted a small breath of fire and burned the now pseudo-Magby, the fire damaged the faker and exposed the pseudo's true self.

"A Zorua!"

Eric had only read about these in school, why would this be on Route 1? He had to have it! The Zorua looked weak enough already, probably a low level, but Eric knew he could train it and make it a fierce dark type.

"Magby, use Smog!"

Eric waited until the Zorua was enveloped with the smog before he launched one of the five pokeballs he had in his bag, the ball clasped around Zorua and wiggled a little, blinking every now and then. Eric smiled when the ball finally stopped shaking, he approached the ball and picked it up gently.

"Welcome to the team, Zack."

Eric wondered down the route, speed walking to get to route 2 when he noticed something odd. His Magby was ahead of him, looking dead on at him. But, how did he get over there?

"Magby! How'd you get over there!?"

"Magby?" he heard behind him, "Ma-magby!"

Eric quickly turned around, and saw that his Magby was behind him still. Eric quickly placed things together in his head, this must be a ditto or something, what other pokemon can take another's shape?, Eric turned his hat sideways, like an old skilled pokemon trainer once did on TV.

"Magby! Use ember!"

The real Magby quickly responded and spouted a small breath of fire and burned the now pseudo-Magby, the fire damaged the faker and exposed the pseudo's true self.

"A Zorua!"

Eric had only read about these in school, why would this be on Route 1? He had to have it! The Zorua looked weak enough already, probably a low level, but Eric knew he could train it and make it a fierce dark type.

"Magby, use Smog!"

Eric waited until the Zorua was enveloped with the smog before he launched one of the five pokeballs he had in his bag, the ball clasped around Zorua and wiggled a little, blinking every now and then. Eric smiled when the ball finally stopped shaking, he approached the ball and picked it up gently.

"Welcome to the team, Zack."

Kenneth ran over, gasping a little. "What happened?" He then noticed the small Pokéball in Eric's hand. "Hey, good job! What is it?"

Eric looked up at Kenneth and passed him the Pokéball, "It's a Zorua, don't open up the ball yet. Don't want it out until I take him to a Poké-center."

Eric started to check his pokedex for more information on the Zorua he caught, now that it was in one of the Pokéball, "Oh! It's a girl, might be able to mate it later on. But I think I'll have to change the name."

"Why, what's its...." he looked at the Pokédex, and noticed the name was listed as "Zack". "Ah. Well, in that case, let's head to the nearest town with a Pokémon Center..... San Dialga right?"

Trent walked out from Professor Pine's lab. He saw that Eric was battling a pokemon. "Huh I remember when I first battle my very first pokemon." Trent thought to himself. He saw that Kenneth was running over to see what Eric had caught. Deciding not to be the last one Trent began running. He got their just in time to hear that Eric had caught a Zorua.
"Nice you caught yourself a Zorua huh." Trent then took out his map of the Toho region. "Hey guys according to the map this is Rt.1 we need to cross Rt.2 and 3, both of them are water routes."
