"I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything." - Nikola Tesla

Mock Profile
Quote:
 
Trainer Name: Kaoru Kamiya
Gender: Female
Age: 17

Biography: Kaoru Kamiya is the last surviving member of the Kamiya Sword style that was invented by her late father. The sword style focuses not on killing your opponent, but rather, defending yourself and those you love. For the past 3 years, she had been running her father's dojo herself, her father having trainer her since she was old enough to walk. But after her father died, she received fewer and fewer disciples, as no one wanted to learn swordsmanship from a girl. Finally, unable to pay the debts her fatrher's medical bills left behind, she sold the dojo. Taking with her nothing by her sturdy wooden sword, some personal belongings, and her Cubone, she starts her journey, hoping to somehow make enough money to buy the dojo back, and bring the Kamiya style back to its rightful place.

Personality: Karou can be a little loud and forceful at times, not to mention a tad violent when her temper flares, but in all reality she is a sweet, kind, and shy girl who often cares to much about people. She is always ready to do what is right and protect the weak, and has strong motherly instincts toward children. She is also very lonly, though she hides it well, having no one but her cubone since her father died.

Appearance: Posted Image
Starter Pokémon: Cubone :Female
Starter City: Ayer

Your first task is to design a fun and interesting quest for each of the players below. Take a look at their descriptions and short personality descriptions to get a feel of what might get this particular person interested. Please include a short (3-4 sentences) description of each quest, possible rewards at the end, and what might entail during the quest itself (battling, etc.)

Please design a quest for the following:

+ Kaoru Kamiya: Read the mock profile for her information.

+ Nicole Wenstrum: Nicole is your typical environmentalist....she's obsessed with all things nature and preserving the habitats of wild Pokémon. In the future, she'd like to establish a Safari-Zone style area on Tohea and is a big leader in saving the Tauros' habitat around Tauros Town. She's intelligent, quick to act, and rather brave...especially for being only 19.

+ Jack Houst: Jack, is...uh, well...he's a villain. He doesn't work petty crimes, like stealing that Level 6 Hoppip, but goes for the big game such as Gym Leaders Pokémon. Recently, however, he turned down a request to join Team Rocket and is now in hiding...having been sentenced to death for his refusal. Either way, Jack is in need of some major money if he wishes to get off the island.

+ Ash Ketchum: You know him, right? Little boy, big dreams? Pokémon Master? I don't believe I need to describe him.

+ Design any quest you'd like right here.

+ Design any quest you'd like right here.

x Kaoru Kamiya:

A young male flower shop owner in Ayer informs Kamiya that recently a pilferer has been becoming a problem on the East side of Ayer Town. For two weeks straight he has filched from a total of 8 victims. Each person reports that he has targeted their pokeballs, potions, and other items. The flower shop owner is the most recent victim, and reports the crook is a young man of average height who wears all black clothes as well as a black ski mask; seemingly no more than your common petty thief.

What’s even more, the man claims to be a true member of the old-age Kutai Clan who is restoring honor to his descendents. Several citizens of Ayer are very ruffled by this, as their quiet lives have been interrupted by this man who seems to have no grip on reality. He was last seen heading for Ayer’s docks, where he may be trying to make an escape, or perhaps waiting for more trainers to arrive on the island so that he may continue his chain of robberies.

Further investigation by Kamiya will lead her to the docks of Ayer, where the man is in hiding under a blanket within a rowboat. He is not alone, however, and is accompanied by a:
Posted ImagePosted Image – Level 6
He will attack, and he seems to have some skill in karate. If Kamiya defeats him he will return his Pokémon and jump into the water to swim away. She will discover a black bag in the rowboat which contains all of the stolen items. Upon returning to the flower shop Kamiya will discover that all of the victims have been waiting for her. As repayment for her actions, they offer her $300 and several items from the bag including:

By the way, the flower shop owner also thinks that she is cute, so he offers her a:

x Nicole Wenstrum:

Upon making her way through the Rocktomb Mountains, Nicole runs into a:
Posted Image Posted Image – Level 7

The geodude isn’t aggressive at all, and seems to beckon to Nicole before running off. If Nicole follows, she will begin to hear loud sounds of chipping, falling rock. Once she reaches the source of the sound, Nicole will run into two men with digging tools and explosives. They state that they are trying to reach a mineral of some sort, and that they will be taking out this part of the mountain.

This is obviously bad for the Pokémon who live in this area, but if she tries to stop them he will face the two men’s Pokémon:
Posted Image Posted Image – Level 8
Posted Image Posted Image – Level 10

If they are defeated they will leave and compensate Nicole with $200.


x Jack Houst:

While making his way through Kadaraa, Jack is bumps into a young girl with brown hair put up in pigtails that appears to be around the age of 18. The girl apologizes for bumping into him, hands him a note, smiles politely, and heads on her way. The note is written in blue ink on a half-torn piece of copy paper, and it asks for Jack to meet her at the coffee shop just on the others side of the street in 30 minutes.

If Jack chooses to meet her, they will convene at the coffee shop where she will arrived sporting new blonde hair. She informs him that her father has wanted to build a restaurant on a particular lot for some time, but has recently been outbid for the sale of the land. Construction of a small doughnut shop is to be finished by tomorrow, and she wants Jack to help stop its completion. If Jack agrees, then she will direct him to confront the guard at 12:00 midnight so that she can slip by and burn down the building. She will give him a slip of paper with the directions to the construction site, and he must arrive there on his own.

Upon arriving at midnight, Jack will meet her as she tries to slip past the guard. Jack must battle the guard who has a:
Posted Image Posted Image – Level 7

Truthfully the guard lacks greatly in battle skills, and if defeated the mysterious girl will succeed in setting the building on fire. She will then give Jack $500 plus a special reward:
Posted Image
then asks him to leave quickly.

x Ash Ketchum:

A lumber company has recently reported the theft of three of its worker Pokémon by none other than Team Rocket. Once again he is requested to deal with these guys, and will discover that Team Rocket is in the basement of the lumber building trying to escape by digging underground. The basement is like a maze of wood, tools, and packaging, but it won’t be too hard to find them, in which case a battle will ensue.

Team Rocket’s Pokémon:
Posted Image Posted Image – Level 17
Posted Image Posted Image – Level 19

If Team Rocket is defeated, the owner of the lumber company will reward him $500 as well as an item:
Posted Image

Team Rocket also left behind something of theirs, which will now belong to Ash:

x Misa Kittinger:

While walking near the docks in Ayer, Misa runs sees an elderly lady who appears to have lost something. The lady notices Misa and asks if she has seen a white envelope, and states that it is very important. However, after a bit of searching the envelope can be seen lying on the ground just a few feet away. It is very small, and suddenly a:
Posted Image Posted Image – Level 6
swoops down to the ground and picks it up in its beak.

The Wingull flies overhead toward the residential area of town. It seems to have no intention of returning to the sea, and refuses to let go of the envelope. It almost seems to be playing with Misa, and it is quite good at maneuvering in the sky.

If Misa can capture/defeat the Wingull and return the envelope, the lady will reward her with $50 and an item:
Posted Image

x Christopher McNeid:

Just outside of Nym Forest, Christopher spots the site of a food network taking its natural course. A:
Posted ImagePosted Image – Level 7
is attacking a:
Posted Image Posted Image – Level 6

The Wurmple is managing to fend for itself by shooting poison sting and string shot into the air, which is keeping the Pidgey from catching it. However, after each attack the Pidgey is coming closer. The poor Wurmple is obviously filled with determination for preserving its life, but sadly it appears that it will not be able to make it for much longer.

If Christopher’s heart would lead him to rescue this Wurmple in danger, then he must either defeat and/or capture the Pidgey. Afterwards, the Wurmple unexpectedly evolves into a:
Posted Image Posted Image – Level 7

The newly evolved Silcoon will be no problem to add to his team, as it is eternally grateful for his display of heroism. But wait, there’s more! On the ground where the Silcoon was located Christopher will also find that it was concealing an item:

hahaha these are great! I'm very impressed!! Just three very minor points to clarify. Try not to have random trainer use fossil Pokémon, being uber rare that they are. Careful with using Team Rocket, as that's a team now haha. And lastly, what is this? Posted Image

But all in all, well done! We can move on to the next task.

Design a Quest for Kaoru in
+ In the middle of Nym Forest

+ Any where in the Unexplored lands

And for any trainer in:

+ A cave in the Rocky Mountains

+ Fishing in Kiban River

But this time, write it as if you were reffing a post, straight up. So no need to lay it all out for me ^_^

  • Understood. Random trainer + fossil Pokémon = no
  • About team rocket, got it
  • That is a nugget XD (I'll label items in the future)
==================
x Kaoru ref – set in the middle of Nym Forest:
Dusk quickly fell upon you as continued on through the mass of trees, as the clouds seemed determined to block any and all light from the sun. Your silhouette was cast upon the surrounding underbrush, and though all seemed quiet and peaceful a faint cry could be heard in the distance. The cry was very distinct and recognizable as a Pokémon, and as you continued forward in silence it grew louder. Something was approaching you.

Almost instantaneously the cry seemed to loom from above you. Whatever this was, it could be heard, but not seen! It continued to circle you ominously, its cry growing softer and louder in seemingly erratic patters. Faint streaks reveal themselves in your eyes as you look closely. Then, as a ghoul appearing from the depths of the leafy shadows, something began to appear in front of you:
Posted Image
Posted Image – Level 20

A large insect Pokémon hovered nearly 10 feet in front of you. Its black-and-yellow body along with its scarlet red eyes was foreboding in the dark air. The face of this Pokémon held an unmistakable look of disdain. Perhaps you had trespassed onto its territory? Whatever, the reason, as it hovered here it seemed unwilling to allow your passage.

However, its hovering did not last long as its form suddenly disappeared into the darkness once again. That irritating cry returned, and second by second it seemed to come closer to you. Would it attack? There was no way of knowing, but there had to be a better way of finding out its intentions other than being cut by those sharp talons. Perhaps with your Kamiya style training you should be able to detect it better than others. Hopefully, before it was too late…

x Kaoru ref - set in the unexplored lands:
The sand battered against your body while you walked. It was very unfortunate that you had found yourself caught within this sandstorm, and the dry weather out here was unforgiving. The countless particles fought against you, but you managed to continue on forward. It was completely impossible to see, and the only thing you could hear was the wail of the wind as it allied with the sand to halt your journey.

And yet, you pressed on with your hand grasped tightly onto your Pokeball. You couldn’t stop here, you had a dream, a goal… mother nature was nothing compared to you. As you continue with unwavering determination, even in your body in such condition, your great effort paid off. You bump into something hard… a wall? As you look up, you can just barely see what appears to be a wall of rock.

This “rock” however, has chipped away where you bumped into it and you can just barely see dirt beneath. It also sounds slightly hollow, could there be something inside? Who knows, but it would likely take someone strong to break through.

x Ref - set in the Rocky Mountains:
All seemed to be well during this hike through the mountains. The dark cavern formations cast eerie shadows onto the walls that seemed to be making faces at you. It was almost as if the mountain itself disliked your presence, but surely that was not enough to stop you. With your Pokémon at your side you could make it through just fine.

Your confident treck led you to a small area with a low cavern roof. You had to bend to continue forward, but not too much to make it uncomfortable. Drops of water dripped from the stalagmites, moistening your cheeks and the top of your head. The air seemed thin, and you had to watch carefully to ensure that you did not trip over the rocks on the ground.

However, your foot hit a particular rock that hurt your foot quite a bit. Then, like a monster rising from an eternal rest, you here the loud cry of a Pokémon. “Geooooo!” Suddenly the rock on the ground floats into the air, and an angry face turns to look at you:
Posted Image Posted Image – Level 7

Well, it seemed you really had awakened a monster, as this Pokémon did not look very happy with you at all. It obviously had plans to attack you, so you had to do something to ensure your own safety.

x Ref – set at Kiban River:
The air was peaceful and the sun shone high and bright in the crisp, clean air. You couldn’t have chosen a better time for fishing, as it was certainly what one could consider the “perfect day”. For a little while, though, it seemed as if you would be having no luck with your endeavor. The bobber remained floating above water; perhaps you needed better bait?

Ah, but perhaps not! You felt a hard tug on your line, catching you by surprised as your fumble with the rod handle. Naturally, you tug back, but strangely enough the Pokémon hardly fought back. With one powerful pull, the catch comes flying out of the water. However, it has managed to escape from the hook!
Posted Image Posted Image – Level 9

The Pokémon landed on the bank, and let out a slight cry of pain before hopping up to its feet and glaring at you. It was challenging you, so it looked like you had a battle on your hands.

[Alright I want to give you three pointers that will keep your ref request from being denied. First, if you use a Spell Check then your post becomes easier to read. Even Microsoft Word can be used to check your spelling and grammar. Proper grammar is very important, and it will make your journey more enjoyable for the both of us. :) Second, your post needs to be at least 3 sentences. You should put more effort into your post if you expect a referee to do the same. Think up more details, like how your character is feeling or how she reacts to the environment. Last, please have a good look at THIS thread. It will do wonders for your writing. We don't expect perfection, but at least a decent post if we are to take time refereeing it. All things aside, I will referee you this time, but major improvements will be expected of your next post.]

==================

Clouds have completely overtaken the sun, dimming its bright rays as you trek along the path that is route 2. There are faint footprints along the path, and as you step over them you touch across time with all who have made their way along this fateful path. The trees surrounding you were numerous, and rose high above your head. This seemed like the perfect place to search for Pokémon, no? Sure enough, as your eyes scan across the immediate landscape you spot a small Pokémon poking its little head out of the underbrush on the side of the trail:

Posted ImagePosted Image - Level 4

Indeed, the Pokémon spots you as well, and begins to make a chattering sound. It continues to stare at you for a few moments before hopping out onto the pathway. However, as it does so you notice that it has a slight limp. Even so, the Pokémon takes an aggressive stance and does its best to flash its large teeth. Even its whiskers seem to be flaring out in a non-friendly manner. It is obviously hurt and is threatening you, but this is definitely your chance to catch a new Pokémon.

*wipes away a tear* Beautiful. You had the note, you gave him a nice length in a ref, AND you gave him a Pokémon befitting his rp skills. Simply beautiful.

Next assignment!

Create for me, two of your finest non player characters. Give them physical descriptions, bios, and Pokémon if you wish it.

Have at ya!

NAME: Anna Austerlitz
AGE: 19

BIOGRAPHY: Anna is a native of Hoenn, being born in Rustboro City. Though living within this populous town overflowing with enterprise, her family struggled financially and did what was necessary to make ends meet. At a very young age, the luxuries of life had already been taken away from her. Since pauperism remained with the unfortunate family as Anna grew into her teens, within her spawned and increasing desire for the superfluous. Thus, Anna took to the petty crime of theft at only age 13.

The first thing the yellow-haired girl “borrowed without return was a Pokémon egg. It had belonged to a schoolmate who had bred a pikachu. After seeing the advertisement of the egg for sale, Anna went to her schoolmate’s house for a visit. After feigning friendship and quickly gaining her schoolmate’s trust, Anna was left to watch the egg on her own for just a short amount of time. Instead, she took off with it. Hiding it well away from her own home, Anna was not caught, despite the several visits from Officer Jenny.

This little victory carved a pathway of crime that Anna would follow into her beginning years of adulthood. After being caught attempting to steal a Snubbull, however, she was sentenced to 6 months in jail. She was 18 at the time. After this sentence was served, Anna decided to leave Hoenn for the newer region of Tohea.

Due to expenses, it was another year before Anna was able to make enough money to travel to Tohea, but when she was 19 she was able to do so. Within this region she began a new life training with her stolen Pokémon to continue even further down the path of crime. Even still, she has yet to commit any major crimes within the region, perhaps she is waiting for the right time…


PERSONALITY: Anna is a little confusing, and after one has come to be in her presence for an extended period of time they will find her quite difficult to understand. Either that, or just plain scary. She can be well described in three stages, which is often the order in which people will come to know her.

Upon first impressions Anna is very polite and has exceptional manners. This is not to insinuate that this is a fake-out, because she truly is a sweet and caring person. This is stage one, and it leads people to believe that she is an innocent young lady with a heart of gold. She likes to help others, and enjoys making new friends and acquaintances. She is quick to aid someone in need, and is the first to extend a helping hand to a needy neighbor. Her smiles are endless, and she passes them on to everyone she sees. Really she can be compared to an angel as one comes to know her in this stage.

More than anything, though, she loves to have fun. This is stage two, and is the part where she may come to be a little scary. Anna is definitely what one could call a thrill-seeker. She loves to do crazy things just for the sheer fun of it. In truth, Anna is very reckless, but many people enjoy her because she is a nice person and fun to be around. A good word to describe her would be “bubbly.” The thing about Anna is that she takes thrill-seeking to the extremes; even greater than what most would expect from daredevils such as her. When her “bubbles” overflow, she can be a dangerous person to be around, and will do the most unpredictable things imagined.

In stage three, as one comes to truly know her, Anna will reveal that her “dangerous” side is even worse than they thought. Simply put, Anna is a kleptomaniac. As kind and sweet as she is, Anna loves to steal things. She finds it so very hard to keep her hands away from the belongings of others, but she loves to take things that do not belong to her and make a speedy escape. It gives her a “rush”, and to keep herself from being caught she will die her hair to many different colors. As a klepto, she is exceedingly deceitful, and even those who think that they have grown close to her will find out, the hard way, that she can hardly be trusted.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Anna stands at 5’10” and in at 135 lbs, giving her a nicely trimmed figure. Her skin is slightly tanned, and her body is noticeably muscular and well-toned. She has deep blue eyes and blonde hair of medium length. Most often, her hair is worn in short pigtails, and though the natural color is blonde she often dies her hair in eccentric colors (pink, blue, green, etc.)

Despite her rapidly color-changing hair, Anna is recognizable for her physically fit body and preference for showing it off. She often wears very short shorts and a small top. Anna will never be seen without her goggles around her neck, as she keeps them in case of any “special circumstances.”

Pokémon: Posted Image Posted Image – Level 27[dohtml]<center>
==========================================
==========================================
Posted Image</center>[/dohtml]
NAME: Rafael
AGE: 29
BIOGRAPHY: Rafael (as he is called, since he has no known surname) was born in Blackthorn City of the Johto region. His parent were ordinary middle-class people, but when he was only four years old the two of them were murdered in a robbery. The perpetrator had used Pokémon to end their lives, thus instilling within Rafael an eternal hatred of Pokémon. He was orphaned because of this, and remained in the child’s home until he was fourteen years old.

One faithful day, Rafael was visited by a man wearing a white robe. The man called himself Master Kazu, and he claimed to have been a friend of Rafael’s father some time ago. He requested to have custody of Rafael, and was granted this request. Master Kazu was a practitioner of Judo, and was a well-known martial artist of his time. He had heard of the travesty which had befallen Rafael’s parents and wanted to help the boy try to construct his life. Thus, Rafael also began to learn Judo.

Rafael trained for seven years, and was so naturally talented that he nearly surpassed his Master. His fluency was nearly unmatched, and Master Kazu claimed Rafael to be his greatest student. At age 21, Rafael received a letter from an agency from Johto’s special forces. Knowledge of his talen in martial arts had spread enough so that he had been offered a position within the agency, and he graciously accepted.

Rafael worked several missions within the agency, mainly to stop massive crimes. He proved very effective at espionage, and after ranking up to become a commander at age 28, he received yet another letter. This time, from Tohea. The agency was attempting to branch off to this new region, and he was wanted to supervise its construction. Basically, he was to be the new head commander. Once again, he accepted, and began his new life in the region of Tohea, though he still maintains his hatred of Pokémon after all of these years.

PERSONALITY: Rafael is definitely a shifty character, and it is possibly the greatest challenge in the world to get to know him. In general, Rafael is a smooth-talker and a constant negotiator. He keeps his cool when dealing with others, and maintains this visage in all situations. He could be considered nice, but there is a certain distance in him that makes others feel as if they cannot connect with him.

Rafael purposely keeps this distance, and hardly ever tries to get to know anyone. It is difficult to talk to him in a normal fashion, because he often talks to others as if he is striking a deal or delegating. Aside from this, he also seems to care little about others. He may be polite, but to others it seems as if he always has a separate agenda that does not concern them. Rafael keeps himself this way purposely because he is a natural loner. He has no problem associating with others, but he likes to be on his own.

A very prominent trait of his is stubbornness. When Rafael sets him mind on something, it takes a massive bulldozer and perhaps a Kyogre to change his mind. He is very defensive and absolutely does not take criticism well. His temper is rather short, and if offended will not hesitate to present the offender with an unpleasant left hook. He is not necessarily a troublemaker, and may even try to keep from trouble, but Rafael loves to fight. He is quick to demonstrate his judo skills when necessary, though this is primarily because he is somewhat of a showoff.

In spite of all this, he is actually a caring person that does what he can to help others. However, it should be noted that he does not like Pokémon to be in his presence, since he hates them and all.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Rafael (as he likes to be called, considering that there is no other known name for him) really looks to be rather slim. He is indeed slender, though muscular features are by no means absent. By looking at him one would be uncertain if he was physically fit, but in truth he really is. In fact, when it comes to being in shape Rafael is far above average. He has wild black hair that hangs in every direction and slender dark brown eyes. His facial features are all very thin and angular, and he has just a few hairs above his lip as well as on his chin.

Rafael always wears a suit of some sort, despite how coarse he may be in appearance. His suits are always black with a white shirt underneath, though sometimes he spices the ‘fit up with a bit of color within his handkerchief. He never wears a tie, because he likes the collar of his shirt to stay loose for comfort. He is a strange mix of rough and clean, making him a curious figure upon sight.

Woot! Fun fun stuff. Continuing on

I want you to make 4 refs, like you would in a journey, introducing your NPCs into Kaoru's journey. 2 with one NPC, 2 with the other NPC

Have fun!

ANNA INTRO 1:
The streets of Kadaraa definitely aren't the most hospitable place in Tohea. This is clear as people shout several obscenities at each other through their car windows and from the locally-owned store windows. Not everyone is like this, but it is obvious that there is little concern for others, since people walking along the pathway with you don't care at all that they are bumping into you. It must be hard fighting the urge to whip out that sword and give them a good bashing.

Even still, you manage to make your way well enough through the thick stream of pedestrians, but you suddenly feel something bump into your shoulder... and hard. A girl with blonde hair turns to look at you with big blue eyes, and she seems to be slightly troubled. She is carrying a brown leather briefcase, and smiles wearily at you. "Sorry about that, I really am." She rubs her head in a nervous manner and giggles just a bit. Then with a nervous look back she waves at you and runs away with final words, "Again, sorry! Bye!

Well, she certainly seemed more polite than most who could be found within this city of business. However, just a few seconds later, you see two men in what is recognizable as some form of security attire running in the same direction. "Stop that girl!" They yell out and continue running with two growlithes closely following behind. What exactly was going on? You could follow them and find out, or just continue about your business.


ANNA INTRO 2:
Nurse Joy nodded at you and handed you your pokeball with a bright smile. "Thank you very much for coming. We hope to see you again." With that she turns to head back into the patients' quarters, for she has other business to attended to, as do you. It is a simple walk from the Pokémon center outside back onto the streets of Riverwood, and now you are finally able to head toward route one like you have desired.

Instead of a quiet walk after you have just received treatment for your Pokémon, you look across the street and see a girl running. She doesn't seem to be properly dressed, as she wears very short shorts and a small top that exposes her abdomen. Her hair is blonde and in pigtails. Chasing after her is a man wearing khaki slacks, white tennis shoes, and a green button-up shirt. His hair is wild and flowing, and the girl seems to be terrified of him as she screams in terror.

Just in front of you he catches her from behind and spins her around. Like a ragdoll her body turns and he reaches for her purse. She lets out several more piercing screams, and as if it wasn't obvious what was going on you can make out what she is saying. "Ahh! Help! Help! My purse!" The man pulls at it furiously and yells back, "Give it to me... now!"

The girl continues her cry for help, and as a few people notice they begin to stare in shock. Will you do anything?


x RAFAEL INTRO 1:
The white sails of the ships harboring within the docks of ayer reflect the texture of twilight as the sun begins to make its daily retreat. The wind whispers in your ear as you walk along the wooden planks. It is a peaceful place with a definite air of tranquility. However, this peace was broken with a cry that is enough to bat one to trembling. It is easy to discern an implication of tragedy within the crier's voice, and as you continue your march you begin to see a small crowd of around 10 people.

The clear sound of a body hitting the hard wood rings through the air, and you see a rugged man with a terribly long beard walking away from the crowd with a haggard and mournful look. As you approach the crowd, you can see that several others are gathered around a single man. It seemed that they were quite upset with him as they shouted his name in anger, "You lily-livered toad!" The man in the center of the crowd stands with a smirk on his face. Interestingly enough, he is wearing a fine black suit that seemed to be absolutely untouched. His hands are in his pocket, and his black hair wavers a passing breeze as his frame glows in the sun's fading light.

Two men suddely rush at him from the crowd, and with two swift motions of his leg, he takes them both out; tripping the first causing him to fall into the water and simply kicking the other dead in the gut. The locals could hardly feel sympathy for these men, for they are known around the area to be the kind of rude sailors that sometimes disgrace these peaceful docks with their unclean presence. In fact, a few others can be seen giggling as they watch from the sidelines; even a couple of children.

It seems that this black-suited man has scared them off, however, and as they scatter you are the only left. He opens his narrow eyes and looks at you with the faintest smile. "I see you carry a sword at your side." He steps forward, walking in your direction. "Mind demonstrating what kind of skill you have then?" He stops about five feet in front of you, hands still concealed within his pockets, and raises an eyebrow in question. He has a definite air of confidence, like a man whose accomplishments rested on solid personal achievements, and it seems that he has found an interest in you...


RAFAEL INTRO 2:
Kyd lake, a pleasant place to be no matter how you look at it. Morning dew glistens on the thriving plants found bestrewed among the brim of the lake. The plants on the margins of the lake are covered in many parts with a thin coat of hoar frost. In spite of this, the sun's transient light filters through the overhanging clouds to shine just a bit of light over its dominion, even if just for a short while. All is quiet as you wind your way through this uneven territory, merely continuing on your journey to bring back the honor to your father's sword style.

Lo and behold, you see a figure nearby. He seems to have come from nowhere, and he stands tall with a cigarette in his hand nearly 20 feet away. His black hair flows in every direction, and the wind gently presses against the open jacket of his ebon suit. He looks to be as peaceful as the surrounding nature itself, but what is most strange is that he seems to have not yet noticed you.

That is, until he turns to look at you. Blowing a cloud of smoke into the air, he then begins to walk in your direction. His steps seemed to flow with a rhythmic pattern, and he tosses the cigarette butt in his hand into the lake. Though this is a clear example of pollution, he seems not to care, but continues in your direction. His eyes are rather closed as he comes closer, and when nearly ten feet away he looks up at you. Strangely enough, his face is in a bit of a frown.

His hand comes up to his hair and he pushes the bit of it that has blown into his face due to the wind. Then with a raspy mellow voice he speaks, "Kaoru, I've been looking for you." Though this is a rather strange thing to say, his countenance remains in all seriousness. "We need your help." Who the heck was this guy? More importantly, how did he know you?

Now for the final test! And then you can join my army of pinklets. Battling! Tohea's battle system is a bit unique so we need to make sure you know how t do it ^_~ Lets see what you know and we'll go from there.

I'll just give you the basics, then you ref the battle.

:cubone :Female level 8 vs :mankey :Female level 8

Ref it however you want, but as you ref attacks make a note of how much damage you think should be taken off. Then at the end put down the totals like a ref would. The codes are:

:(Pokémon
:(hp
:(eng

but without the (

The two Pokémon faced each other in preparation; mankey with his arms raised to show off his strength, and cubone standing silently and merely watching its opponent with an intense stare. Mankey initiated the battle, first dashing forward with agility. Naturally light and agile, the Mankey reached Cubone at a startling speed for the little club Pokémon, and immediately pounded the Pokémon on the side of its face. Cubone staggered backward with his eyes closed in pain, and further following instructions Mankey quickly followed up with a scratch attack directly to the Cubone's face. It was easy to see the fighting spirit that this Mankey had.

While the pound had caused damage to the Cubone, considering that the skull it was wearing had taken on the momentum of Mankey's fist and struck its face. The scratch attack had done little damage to the hard bone skull. As a converse, hitting the skull had actually hurt Mankey's hand just a bit. In fact, it gave Cubone time to regain its composure. It was determined not to be outdone, and flashed an intense look of malice at the Mankey just before leaping forward with agility and headbutting Mankey directly in the facial area. Due to its close range upon contact Mankey was knocked back nearly 5 feet.

The monkey Pokémon promptly jumped to its feet while rubbing its sorely injured nose. Mankey began to shake and breathe heavily through its nose, a sure sign that its temper was flaring. Cubone took a few steps back, for it was still a little shook up from that pound attack. It remained its silent self, though a horrible disdain for its pig monkey opponent flashed within its eyes. This battle was far from over.

Looking good looking good. Only one small thing. The rule of thumb here is that a regular tackle attack that is hindered in absolutly no way between two Pokémon of the same level, takes off about 10 hp. From there, all other damange points are gauged. Taken from that, an agility headbut would probably do a little more than 10 hp damange. Of course it can vary with how you ref, like you said about scratch not doing much with the bone helmet.

Let's try a few of these just to get you used to things

How much damage do you think these Pokémon will take. Take into consideration their body, their size, type, etc. YOu don't have to ref any of them haha just state how much damange they loose.

Pikachu (L24, male) uses thundershock against Squirtle (L22, male)

Oddish (L9, female) uses tackle against Geodude (L9, male)

Oddish (L9, female) uses agility and tackle against Geodude (L9, male)

Staryu (L39) uses water gun, during rainy weather, against Nidoran (L30, male)
