Journey to Midnight Island (Special Campaign)

[Loki]

Many weeks ago, sailors off the coast of Canalave City spot a mysterious uncharted island that would vanish at dawn. The media dubbed it Midnight Island. News spread quickly, enticing explorers and scientists to investigate the island, but difficult sea conditions and the appearance of strange Pokémon has caused all prior missions to be canceled for the safety of the people.

Since then, two brave scientists- Professor Maria Luna and Doctor Terrae Mensis have put together a group of volunteers to both help guard them and aid in exploring the island. They have rented two ships to take to the island and gather necessary equipment needed to study and chart the land.

Before the ship sets sail, the volunteers are being asked to post information on their Pokémon squads so the scientists can help purchase the additional rations or equipment to accommodate those Pokémon.

Remember. The ship sets sail on February 7th, 2008. Please be sure to place all information, including levels and known moves prior to then.

[Loki]

Trainers from all parts of the world enter Canalave City's Pokemon Center, dropping off their companions to prepare them for their expedition to an unknown land. As many of them wait, three people step into the Pokemon Center. Two are clearly scientists and the other is a man in a business suit.

"Everyone, please gather around," the woman shouts. Everyone does so. She continues, "I am Professor Maria Luna and beside me is Doctor Terrae Mensis." He politely nods and waves his hand before saying, "We will be leading the expedition and would like to thank everyone for volunteering. If you did not volunteer, this trip would not have had been possible." Everyone claps for a few minutes.

Professor Luna steps forward again and says, "This man next to us is a special representative from the Pokétech Company! They have graciously helped sponsor our trip by providing us with supplies and the ship that will ferry us to Midnight Island. Please give him a special round of applause." Everyone claps.

The representative steps forward and says, "We at Pokétech know that unlocking the mysteries of the world is of utmost importance and are proud to sponsor this expedition. While we are supplying all of you with items for the trip, we must remind you that 'Midnight Island' has never been visited by humans. As such, we feel it is very important that we keep it's environment as unchanged as possible. As such, we are limited the amount of outside items being brought to the island. We hope you understand, but we do not wish to cause any possible contamination to the island. Additionally, since the island is known to disappear at dawn, we will only give you one day's worth of supply."

He begins to step forward and hand everyone a back pack. "Inside each one holds exactly six Max Potions, six Full Heals, and six Revives. These supplies should be enough to last the entire night and being such a small amount, we feel it will not have any heavy affects on the island's environment. In addition, we will be giving you the newest Pokétech watch. In it is the basic digital clock, a GPS tracking device and map should you get lost. Please be careful with them. If they are damaged or lost, you may never be able to find your companions and we do not know what will happen once the sun rises."

After handing out the items to everyone, Dr. Mensis says, "I'm sorry, but there are still matters which we need to discuss in privacy. Please feel free to talk amongst yourselves. We will talk to you again when we depart." The three step into the back office of the Pokémon Center.

Trainers who missed this deadline will not be given supplies. You will receive the Pokétech watch on the island. Please refrain from making edits. I already made copies of all your posts, so I will know if you changed them. Trainers are free to RP their thoughts or conversations until the announcements.

OoC: I'm assuming you mean that late participants will get the Pokétch on the island but that we already have ours.

"Wow," Cyrus thought to himself. He had been completely overwhelmed by Dr. Luna's speech and was having trouble containing his excitement. On the inside, anyway; the other trainers would have seen a young man with blondy-brown hair, a green cotton t-shirt and blue jeans simply standing in the middle of the Pokémon Center lobby, his mouth slightly agape, his eyes darting randomly across the room. He would have looked awkward to them. Cyrus soon broke out of his reverie and, realizing how silly he must have looked, took a seat along the wall of the lobby.

"Celes," Cyrus whispered in his mind. He clasped his hands together, hung his head down, and stared off into the floor as he imagined his little Chikorita getting checked up by the Center staff. Looking around the room, Cyrus saw other trainers. He realized that they, too, were waiting for their Pokémon to be returned to them. He wondered how many of them kept their Pokémon inside their PokéBalls. Cyrus did for most of his Pokémon: Mankey was too violent to be left outside; Torchic was still too young; and SugarPuff the Hoppip was so light that she might very well float off in the small drafts of air circulating through the Pokémon Center. These Pokémon had to be kept in their PokéBalls often. But Celes was a different scenario. She had been with Cyrus for a long time and was his most loyal Pokémon and perhaps his dearest friend. There was no danger of her running off or being carried away with the wind, either; and so for these reasons, Cyrus generally opted to permit Celes to accompany him on foot. She seemed to prefer it. Cyrus understood why.

Cyrus had been staring down at the ground with his hands clasped in front of him this entire time, but now as he came out of this latest bout of daydreaming, something on his wrist caught his attention. "The Pokétch," Cyrus mumbled. Cyrus turned his arm this way and that to see what the Pokétch looked like. He admired its craftsmanship. Not since he had received his PokéDex so very, very long ago had he received any technical treasure as remarkable as this. Cyrus played around with some of the apps for a few minutes before realizing something.

"Hey," he thought to himself. "I should really take this opportunity to get to know some of the other trainers." That's right, Cyrus thought to himself: I don't know anybody here. All of the faces were new to Cyrus. He didn't have a solid grasp on what exactly the volunteers would be doing on this adventure, but he knew that, whatever it was, it would require him to work together with others. And what about what the man in the business suit had said? "The island is known to disappear at dawn" ... Cyrus had once had an adventure on the island-continent Excelsior. It, too, had been a vanishing island, and it had been a perilous adventure that took Cyrus close to the foot of a volcanic mountain and into the thick of an island jungle. Cyrus wasn't sure if Midnight Island and Excelsior had anything in common besides the disappearing act. But if it did, he would need to know. And it would help to make friends. Going Excelsior alone had been ... "difficult."

"Maybe one of the other trainers knows something?" Cyrus thought to himself. And so saying, he got up from along the wall of the Pokémon Center lobby and headed towards some of the trainers.

[Jonouchi]

As soon as Ricco got up from his chair and accepted the items from the folks in charge, he walks out side to enjoy the nice breeze before setting off to the boat for Canalave City. Outside the Pokemon Center, Ricco releases his four Pokemon: Kaio, the Swampert, Youko, the Lairon, Shinkou, the Metang, and Nido the Nidorino, as each of them give a joyful cheer as they await the exciting adventure.

"All right, the boat will be leaving soon, so practice, hang out, anything you like." Ricco said. "We're just going to be out here, so how about training up a bit."

The four nod as they all do their things. Nido goes a few feet away from Ricco and catches up on his sleep, Youko and Shinkou both spar a little before setting off and Kaio just heads to Ricco's side as he sits down and nudges him a little. Ricco pets him on the head as Kaio smiles happily.

"You're all going to be a big help, I can tell." Ricco said. "Kaio, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to give my other guys some work as well. Youko and Shinkou look like they'll be tough, but still, I'll use you as a last resort since you're the strongest. Is that all right with you?"

"Swampert!" Kaio replied.

"Thanks, I knew you would understand." Ricco replied with a smile. "Still, this will be a rough adventure. But I'm sure you'll all be okay on this adventure, you'll all do fine."

Ricco watches Youko and Shinkou spar, until Nido walks over and begins to sleep on his lap. Ricco smiles at him as he thinks about how well these guys will do. this was going to be a rough adventure and Ricco wanted to go all out if any dangers should arise.

OOC: Apologies for not noticing earlier.

OOC: Collecting Pokétech Watch, Six Max Potions, Six Full Heals, and Six Revives, Thanks.

Stark sat quietly listening to Professor Luna congratulate the trainers for accepting to join her on her expedition. His eyes slowly scanning the room for familiar faces. Some of the trainers he had met back on the SS Tidal, while others he had never seen before. Not that it mattered. He wasn't here to necessarily make friends. Not that he wouldn't like to. He was here because something about Midnight Island drew him to it. Maybe it was the mystery of what could be out there. Maybe it was something else. Regardless, he knew in his heart that he was meant to be here for some reason or another.

Before long he found himself collecting a bag from the representative of the Pokétech Company. He had heard about them during his travels, but had yet to really learn much about them other than they seemed to be a company on the cutting edge of technology. The Pokétech watch seemed to be a curious object for him as he strapped it to his wrist. Here was an item that seemed to have some of the capabilities of his Pokédex, but also a few others that could be helpful during the course of this journey. Stark clicked through the various features barely listening while the representative finished his speech.

-Well, at least I won't have to worry about my pokémon raiding my pack for candies again- he thought as he placed the bag on the floor below the arm of the chair which was draped by his long red coat, -Of course not being able to bring along my own stuff is going to feel a little weird. I'm glad I left Charmander and Torchic at the Daycare. At least now I know that they will be well looked after.-

Seeing all of the other trainers get up and start milling around, Stark decided that he had been sitting long enough. There were still a number of things to do before they left for the mysterous island. First and foremost was to pick his pokémon up. Grabbing his coat he placed one arm through, then the other until the warm fit settled onto his back. Grabbing the new pack in his right hand the trainer proceeded to collect his pokémon from the counter. As he picked up his Six pokéballs, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. In the past, he would have normally released Cyndaquil and carried the fire mouse around on his shoulder. However, now that Cyndaquil was a Typhlosion, it was an impossible task. Not that the two related to each other any less than before, it was just that Stark had gotten so used to carrying around his little buddy so much that the change was still difficult to get used to. Of course he could always release his Spearow and carry him around like he did on Excelsior, but Spearow seemed to have an annoying habit of perching on Stark's head rather than his shoulder. Not only that, but the bird's talons often dug a little too painfully into his scalp for his liking.

Brushing his long blond hair aside from the front of his face he clipped his pokéballs to his belt and turned around to make his way back to the exit. It seemed that it would be a while before they were to leave and in the meantime he figured that he may as well get in a little training considering his lack of experience with his somewhat newly evolved pokémon.

It didn't take long for him to find himself out behind the Pokémon center. With both hands he reached down and released his partners from their pokéballs. In a series of quick white flashes Typhlosion, Floatzel, Luxray, Houndour, Spearow, and Treecko all appeared before him. A smile crossed the trainer's face as his pride and love for his partners began to show.

"Alright guys... and girls... I figure you didn't want to be stuck inside your pokéballs all day so what do you say we do a little training while we're here," the red coated trainer asked, "Nothing too stressful, I just thought we'd work on some speed and accuracy, alright? Good. Let's get to work."

Beau Lv 31 Male Scizor (with 10 BPs)

Bio: When I first met Beau, he was very introverted. He’d spend countless hours of the day meditating, his mind wrapped around dealing with opponents in battle. Indeed, battle was the only time where Beau didn’t seem like a mindless machine. However, since his evolution, Beau has become more sociable. He enjoys socializing with other Pokemon, and enjoys hanging out with/making friends. Although his current injury in Fizzytopia has left a slight mental scar on the poor mantis, Beau seems to still be a happy-go-lucky party animal.

And now, a crappy RP attempt...[/center:28i35z75]


The emerald dragon hurtled through the slowly darkening sky, Hayley the Flygon giving her all. Joshua, who sat on her back, was sorely tempted to leap off her back, since due to his stupidity and pre-occupied-ness, he was likely to miss out on a trip of a lifetime. "Faster, Hayley, FASTER!" he screamed.

The Flygon was extremely unhappy about being pushed this hard, and Joshua was sure that if he could understand what she was muttering under her breath, he'd be the bearer of quite a few strong words. All he could do was hope, that they'd arrive on time.

[center:28i35z75]OOC: Yes, it sucks, I know. But I am sorry about being late, I really have to rush off, and I really do want to be part of this campaign, so I'm hoping I'm not too late.[/center:28i35z75]

[Loki]

The trainers waited patiently for the expedition leaders to return. Some walked around. Some stayed seated. Some even went outside. Those that did saw the sunset quickly turn to dusk. The sky was still a shade of orange at the west, and a dark purple to the east that was slowly creeping westward. The time of departure was getting close.

From the sky suddenly appeared a Flygon. On it's back was a very late trainer. It swooped down and the trainer ran into the center, hoping to not be too late. Just then, the three stepped back out from the back office. They see him dash in, only to stop at the counter while trying to catch his breathe. Professor Luna smiles, "Ah! A new face. Glad you could make it."

The Pokétech representative looked a bit concerned. He whispers to the doctors. They also looked a bit troubled, but replied, "Well, there's nothing we can do about that." They walk up to Joshua and Dr. Mensis says, "I'm sorry to tell you, but we already had our extra supplies returned. We didn't know if you'd be coming. This means you won't have any healing items for your Pokémon should they get hurt." Meanwhile, Professor Luna reaches into her bag and pulls out two Max Potions and says, "Please take these. I'm sure they'll be more useful for you than me." The other two look at her, but she smiles and they don't comment. They then walk back to the middle of the room. "Everyone, please gather round!" Dr. Mensis announces.

Everyone walks around to listens carefully. The Pokétech representative takes a set back forward again and says, "While we were in the back, we were in touch with Pokétech's main research and development facilities. With some convincing from the two doctors, they have decided to send us a prototype scanner attachment for your Pokédex. These attachments will be very helpful for this expedition. It can help scan not only Pokémon, but also the flora, fauna, rocks, soil, and water, giving us records of the what is on the island. They can also be used to scan your Pokémon to check on their well-being. They are being sent over as we spea-"

Just then a pair of Ninjask fly into the Pokemon Center, each holding a parcel package. The rep smiles and says, "What perfect timing." He open the boxes and pull out a small chip, no larger than those you see for digital cameras. "With this, we'll be able to learn much more about Midnight Island." He takes up a Pokédex and and inserts the chip into a slot. "And that's all it takes." The chips are handed out to the trainers and installed.

After everyone finishes, Professor Luna walks to the entrance and says, "Alright everyone! The boat's ready and the supplies have been given out! We even swindled Pokétech into giving us some new toys! We're all set! Pick up your Pokémon from Nurse Joy and let's get going! Midnight Island is waiting!" She then runs out towards the port. Dr. Mensis laughs and chases after her.

You guys are free to RP again between the Pokemon Center and getting to the port/boat. Your journey will begin soon! The excitement is building up! Hope you're ready!

[Deebs]

Zach parceled through the backpack the two doctors supplied to him, finding the six Max Potions, six Full Heals, and six Revives, as promised. What he found most fascinating though was the watch given to him by Poketech. Slick and metallic, Zach thought it was one of the most expensive and amazing things entrusted to him, besides the Master Ball sitting in his Bank vault, of course. Watching the light catch itself on the shiny exterior of the watch, Zach's idolness was only broken by the bursting open of the PokeCenter doors as one trainer arrived late. He watched amused as the scientists and Poketech employee came in shortly afterwards, announcing more exciting news. Brushing his rather long brown hair out of his eyes, he listened to what was being said.

"Everyone is going to receive a prototype attachment for their Poketech watch to help the scientists learn more about the island," he said as a box of the chips (fresh from a pair of Ninjask) were passed around to all the trainers. Carefully picking one up and installing it into his watch, he looked around at the trainers that would soon form the expedition group. Some younger and some older than him, Zach could tell that, for the most part, many of them were much more experienced that he was. Except for the guy in the cotton green shirt, Zach thought to himself with a smile.

Suddenly, Dr. Maria Luna spoke up. "Alright everyone! The bopat's ready and the supplies have been given out! We even swindled Pokétech into giving us some new toys! We're all set! Pick up your Pokémon from Nurse Joy and let's get going! Midnight Island is waiting!" She ran out of the door, much to Zach's surprise, accompanied by Dr. Terrae Mensis. Heeding her words, Zach instantly confronted Nurse Joy.

"Ah, yes, here you are!" she said, joyfully handing over his six pokeballs containing his teammates.

"Thanks," he said, putting on a smile for her and then walking away. He turned around to see what the other trainers were doing before reaching down to his newly-filled belt, plucking off a Pokeball, and releasing his Paras, Persephone. The tiny bug instantly climbed up his legs and latched onto his head, large yellow eyes fixed unmovingly at the other trainers. "You ready?" he asked. She clicked in response, quietly, obviously nervous because of the strong trainers and the even stronger creatures they must have as well. Zach pat her back to calm her down and then reached into his bag to reveal his navy blue jacket. Throwing it on, he pulled the backpack over one of his shoulders and walked out of the PokeCenter towards the dock.

Ricco overhears the two people in charge begin to talk about a special scanner. Realizing this, he's aware that he's missing something important so he tells his Pokemon that he has to hear this and recalls all four of them back to their Pokeballs. He rushes inside to listen on the scoop, but luckily, he didn't miss too much information. They were talking about some device that scans not only his Pokemon, but anything on the island that has even a hint of a Pokemon. Ricco thought it was cool, but this thoughts stop when a group of Ninjask fly around, freaking Ricco out as he covers his head.

Ricco takes the chip and inserts it into his Pokedex as he checks out the new look: Not too bad, he thought. He didn't have to worry about the Nurse Joy, since he didn't want to leave his Pokemon behind when he got here anyway. They were well enough for the trip, not to mention they were healed ahead of time. Youko and Shinkou weren't damaged, but exhausted, but he thought the long boat ride might regain their energy. Ricco heads outside and makes it to the boat.

"Man, this is so exciting!" Ricco said to himself. "I wonder what's going to happen on this trip. Maybe we'll meet some powerful and cool Pokemon. I just hope it's nothing that I want, because even though we can't catch anything, that'll hurt."

Ricco didn't want to be too bothered by the no captures rule set by the heads, but it didn't matter. Ricco was excited and that's all that matters. Before Ricco decides to board the ship, he checks his supplies to make sure nothing's missing, and sure enough, he has all of it.

Ricco smiles at the thought of an exciting adventure. He couldn't contain himself, so he let it out:

"MIDNIGHT ISLAND, HERE I COME!!!!!" Ricco shouted.

He rushes to the boat with a valiant cheer; the excitement was getting to his head.

[Talon87]

OoC: Don't be scared by the length. Think of this post as being in two parts: (1) responses to stuff that you guys wrote, and (2) new development from my side of things. It's honestly not that long. I hope you enjoy reading it. Yours have been fun to read as well.

Right as Cyrus got up to approach some of the other trainers, he was cut off by a trainer whizzing past him towards the Pokémon Center reception desk. "Whoa!" Cyrus cried out as he caught his balance. He looked over at the trainer and wondered why he was so late. But Cyrus's attention didn't have long to spend on the late trainer, for there -- just beyond him -- came Dr. Luna, Dr. Mensis, and the Pokétech representative. They're back!

"Ah! A new face," Dr. Luna said to the late trainer with a smile. "Glad you could make it."

Cyrus overheard bits and pieces of their conversation -- the three discussing the lack of items available for the late trainer, and the generous donation of Dr. Luna's -- but his eyes kept wandering over to this other trainer across the room. Someone had been smiling at him, Cyrus realized. He let his eyes linger on the trainer for a little too long -- the trainer quit staring towards him and attended to other matters. Cyrus furrowed his eyebrows. Had he been imagining things? No, that trainer had definitely been smiling at him. "Odd," Cyrus thought.

Just as before, he didn't have time to give much thought to what he had just seen before he was interrupted by a big development. This time it was Dr. Mensis who took charge. He called everyone to attention and the Pokétech representative gave another small speech on Pokétech technology. Cyrus took his copy of the microchips the gentleman was handing out and looked at it. "Sure is small," he thought. It was amazing what technology could do these days. He pulled out his Pokédex from his left front pocket of his blue jeans, looked for the insertion slot where he could put the chip, and -- CLiCK -- in it went.

"Alright everyone!" It was Professor Luna. "We're all set! Pick up your Pokémon from Nurse Joy and let's get going!"

"ALRIGHT!" Cyrus rejoiced. Finally ... Celes!

Cyrus ran towards the Pokémon Center reception desk ... and so did 11 other trainers. Cyrus was 4th in line. As he waited his turn, his mind returned to what he had seen. The late trainer ... the one guy smiling at him ... Dr. Mensis chasing after Dr. Luna's ... did those two have a thing?

"Sir? Sir!?"
"Oh!" Cyrus snapped out of it. It was Nurse Joy. It was already Cyrus's turn.
"Here are your PokéBalls, sir." And she handed them to him: one ... two ... three ... four.

Cyrus wanted to call the Pokémon out of their balls, just to be sure they were there and were fine, but he hesitated. Maybe it wouldn't be such a great idea to bring Mankey out along with the others. Cyrus still wasn't confident that Mankey would react well with Celes, SugarPuff, or little Torchic. He had been working on Mankey's vicious nature, but it had been a lot of 1-on-1 work with few battles against wild Pokémon and zero interaction with the other teammates. Cyrus knew it was unfair to Mankey, but he had to consider the well-being of his other three Pokémon as well. As a trainer, it would be his failure if they were hurt by Mankey. He had to be 100% certain that Mankey was under control before letting him mingle with the others. "Don't worry, buddy," Cyrus thought. "I'll go outside in just a second and let you out for a breather, too."

"But first ... CELES! SUGARPUFF! TORCHIC!" And Cyrus pointed three different PokéBalls towards his feet. Three laserbeams arced out from three PokéBalls and from them three very different Pokémon were formed.

"Torchic!" The first to form was the little fire chick, Torchic. Cyrus had not yet thought of a proper name to give her. Maybe it would come to him on this adventure to Midnight Island. She cocked her this way, then that, taking in her surroundings. It made Cyrus chuckle.

"Hoppip!" squeaked the next to appear. A radish-like Pokémon with a huge smile, two beady eyes, four stubby legs, and two huge fronds blowing in the undetectable draft inside the Pokémon Center -- this was SugarPuff, Cyrus's Hoppip. "HopPI~IP!" she cried out. There was a little dustbunny being blown along the floor by the draft and SugarPuff was right there with it! "SugarPuff!"

Cyrus lunged forward, arms outstretched. With a giant, painful THUD!, he landed outstretched on the Pokémon Center floor, his arms cupped around SugarPuff to prevent her from floating away along the floor, his stomach aching from the impact.

"Ow..." Cyrus grimaced. But he felt the soft, cool touch of grass against his left cheek. It was a frond. Its smell comforted Cyrus, deep within his soul. "Celes," he smiled, turning his head to the left to face his most cherished friend. He was eye-to-eye with a short, green Pokémon with crimson eyes and a long, leafy frond atop her head. It was Celes, Cyrus's Chikorita. His most loyal companion, and the most senior member of his team accompanying him on this adventure. Cyrus and Celes had been together for many years. They had been through a lot together. Other trainers and their Pokémon may have been gawking at the young man sprawled out on the Pokémon Center floor, but not Celes. She beamed with pride at her trainer. She saw in Cyrus the trainer she loved and admired -- a young man who cared deeply for his Pokémon, so deeply that he'd gone and done something like this. She nudged her way under Cyrus's left arm to hint that he should get up now.

And so Cyrus did. Dusting himself off, his belly still quite sore -- "That was some bellyflop, huh, Celes?" -- Cyrus got up and returned SugarPuff and Torchic to their PokéBalls. Cyrus turned to his little companion and said, "Look, I know you're not gonna like this, but ..." and Cyrus explained that he needed to return Celes to her PokéBall as well. If he was going to give Mankey a fair shot at freedom for a few minutes, he would need everyone back inside. Cyrus would step outside the Pokémon Center and let Mankey out there.

"Chika~aa..." Celes cried, an unmistakable sad ring in her voice.
"Aw, Celes," Cyrus frowned, getting sad as well. "It'll only be for a couple of minutes. Think about if you were in Mankey's shoes, right? Just think -- he has to stay inside his PokéBall all the time."
"Chika," the little Chikorita sniffed. Then she looked up at Cyrus, forcing an understanding smile.
"That's a good girl. Now ... Celes! Return!"

"Now that that's done," Cyrus thought to himself, "let's head outside and see where the professor and company headed off to." And Cyrus stepped outside of the Pokémon Center, Mankey's PokéBall in hand ...

[Sandaa]

Gary rose from his seat in the PokeCenter as the doctors had finished speaking and quickly claimed his pokemon from the nurse. Looking down in his hands, he now held the various allotted supplies that he had received, including a camera and a PokeTech. He gently stored them in his backpack and pulled out a string, fastening it to the PokeTech, and slipped it around his neck and tucked it under his shirt; he simply didn’t like watches, so this would do just nicely. All sorts of other trainers were getting up as well and began to mingle; only a few of them he’d seen around before in Fizzy Bubbles. He weaved his fingers through his dark brown hair and then reached down to his belt, plucking off two of his pokeballs.

“Time to get going, guys,� he called out to his two pokemon, holding the pokeballs out as two forms emerged from them in bright flashes. Soon enough, a Typhlosion and an Aipom appeared before him, and Gary grinned at his companions. The Aipom grinned widely back at his trainer and chattered as he jumped up to his usual perch on Gary’s shoulder, while the Typhlosion gave an understanding nod back at Gary. Not much needed to be said between the two, as Typhu could read Gary’s expression easily.

“Alright guys, let’s go. We need to get to the port, so let’s do it!� Gary smirked and headed out the PokeCenter door, Typhu at his side. Scurvy, the Aipom, eagerly chanted an “Arr!� as they emerged outside. The sky was a beautiful shade of fiery orange and crimson with a deep indigo quickly encroaching across it. In the distance Gary could see the port, with the sunset reflecting off the water, making it look dark orange. Gary smiled and headed in that direction.

[Stark]

It had gotten late fast. No sooner had Stark and his pokémon begun their training when time had slipped by unnoticed to reveal a brilliant display of firey orange and red encroached upon by the evening sky. With the call of the setting sun over the water their journey would soon begin.

"Alright we only have time for one more move," Stark said to his team, "I think the best thing to do is to finish up strong. Alright then, Floatzel, use an Ice Beam to freeze some of that water out there so we have something to aim at. Treecko. Houndour. I want you to follow up with a Dragonbreath and a Shadow Ball respectively. Try to shatter that thing into as many pieces as you can while hitting it at the same time with your attacks. Once the pieces are up in the air Typhlosion and Spearow will use Swift to further shatter the ice. Finally, Luxray, I want you to direct a Flash out there so we can watch as the pieces colorfully fall back down to the water."

Having given his commands to his pokémon, Stark stepped up to stand beside them in an impromptu line. This wasn't something he had ever tried before, but if things worked the way he thought they would, they would put on one heck of a show.

"Alright guys... ready?" he asked rhetorically to his awaiting partners, "Then let's do it. Floatzel go!"

As fast as he finished his sentence the water otter was sending a a blue-white beam out until it caught the surface of the water. Without wasting a second Stark motioned to Treecko and Houndour to make their move. Energy crackled as the two pokémon sent their attacks toward their intended target. A small explosion lit up the near horizon as the energy blasts hit their mark sending shards of ice skyward. Without a word, Typhlosion and Spearow released their star shaped Swifts toward the wayward chunks of ice shattering the pieces into an almost powdery snowlike substance. Stark signaled for his pokémon to close their eyes as Luxray sent out a Flash of light toward the point of attack. The result leaving a shower of shimmering particles softly glowing in the early evening sky. Stark smiled as he took a moment to lose himself in the beauty ahead of him.

As the last bit of snow and ice disappeared from view Stark found himself narrowing his eyes as he tried to make out a shape nearing the Pokécenter. It didn't take long to discover that it was another trainer descending on a Flygon.

"Well guys I suppose I better go back in and see what's going on. Return," he said as he pulled out his pokéballs and the beams of red light returned the trainer's partners. With one last glance back at the setting sun, Stark made his way back into the Pokécenter only to find that Professor Luna and her partners had returned. What's more is, that they seemed to have one last gift for the trainers. A chip to modify their pokédexes. Wasting no time, Stark retrieved a chip and inserted it into his old Indigo dex.

"Alright everyone! The boat's ready and the supplies have been given out! We even swindled Pokétech into giving us some new toys! We're all set! Pick up your Pokémon from Nurse Joy and let's get going! Midnight Island is waiting!" he heard the female researcher call out. A tingle of excitement ran up his spine. -It wouldn't be long now- he thought as he watched as a number of trainers scurry toward the counter to retrieve their own partners. He probably would have been right there with them had he not picked up his pokémon earlier. But as it was, he had time to double check that he was truly ready. Part of him wished that he could have taken his own old satchel of items with him instead of the stylish new pack the Pokétech representative gave him, but then again, he couldn't discount the usefulness of a new pack. Especially considering the items it contained.

His concentration soon shifted when a Hoppip rolled by caught in a light draft of air and a half cocked smirk ran across his face as he let a soft chuckle that sounded more like a grunt. The sight reminded him of the time he captured Spearow. Back then another trainer's Hoppip had found itself caught in the breeze of the afternoon and had unwillingly floated into Spearow's territory. Had it not been for the timely arrival of Stark and at that time Cyndaquil, the poor thing may have been bird food. Fortunately for everyone involved Stark and Cyndaquil were able to defeat Spearow and capture him. It was an experience Stark would never forget. Especially considering how close he and Spearow had become since that day.

With the Hoppip seemingly safely secure in its trainer's arms, Stark made his way outside and headed for the boat. The thought of releasing Spearow to accompany him crossing his mind, but with the Hoppip running free, he dared not risk it right now for fear of his partner flashing back to that fateful day and attacking. Spearow had always been one to hold a grudge even when there was no reason to. Still the small hawk had to learn how to forgive and forget sometime he supposed. Besides it wasn't like this was the same Hoppip as before. Taking the Level Ball from his belt into his hands Stark released the raptor into the air.

"Alright Spearow, come on down. I figured we'd go for a walk together since everyone else is getting a little too big for me to carry," he said to his partner. Spearow let out a 'Caw' circling above once before floating down and landing on his trainer's head. Stark frowned and rolled his eyes upward as a wince of pain from Spearow's talons digging in his scalp raced through him, "Why do you always have to ride up there? Would it be too much to ask for you to sit on my shoulder for once?"

[Lee-san]

After Lee walked out of the Pokemon Center, a gentle breeze greeted him, reminding him of the cold air outside. In the distance, he saw the boat which was supposed to carry them to Midnight Island, but he was in no rush to reach it. Instead, he slowly walked towards it, his mind filled with thoughts about what lay ahead of him.
Another journey was upon him, another adventure..not his first, that was for sure. He has seen many different places in his 2 year-long career as a trainer, and usually enjoyed the moments before a new journey started, before setting out, with this tingling sensation, this feeling of excitement in his body. This time however, he couldn't help but feel uneasy of the journey ahead..although not a suicide mission, he knew it was going to be dangerous, they were told that already. Lee had faced many dangers in his adventures before, but they always came quite surprising, when he didn't expect them, when he thought he was safe, but now..danger was pretty much guaranteed on this journey. Still, he didn't want to think all too much about it now..to distract himself, he took the six Pokeballs from his belt and threw them in the air, releasing the creatures in them.
After a bright surge of light, his six partners of choice for this adventure stood before him - Isaac, his Starter Pokemon and most trusted companion; Mekhet, his elegant Pidgeot; Stix, his playful Aipom; Dekar, his energetic Elekid and the two newest additions to his team: Tycho the Treecko and Shiggy the Squirtle. The two of them were still quite young, so they nervously looked around, not really sure what to do with themselves in this situation.
Lee kneeled down and tended to them. "Don't worry guys, me and the others will watch out for you on this trip - isn't that right, guys?"
The other four gave an approving nod, and Isaac playfully grabbed Treecko and Squirtle with his vines, carrying them towards the boat. Smiling at this, Lee nodded towards the boat's direction, indicating his other Pokemon to follow Isaac. Mekhet took to the skies and performed a few aerial maneuvers and then took off towards the boat, while Dekar scuttled off behind Isaac and Stix jumped on Lee's shoulder, and together, they walked off towards a new adventure, every single ominous thought about the journey all but erased from Lee's mind..

[Deebs]

Walking outside, Zach admired the setting sun, the sky becoming a battleground between the fierce rays of the sun and the wispy shadows of the night. A few stars hung suspended in the fight already, the moon even slightly visible as well. He started to think about the adventure that was ahead and the battles that would certainly ensue. Seeing all the strong trainers made him a bit nervous; he did not want to become the weak link of the group. The last thing he wanted to let anyone think was that he was weak. With resolve, he reached down and gripped his Gyarados’s sphere. Not with Kaine, he thought.

A thud from behind caused Zach to quickly turn around. Persephone braced herself for the rushed movement, digging her claws further into his scalp to keep from falling off and warranting a small grunt from Zach. Grimacing, he pushed past the pain to see the trainer in the green tee struggling to keep his Hoppip from getting blown away. Zach was amazed that even through the doors of the center he was able to hear it; this guy obviously cared for his pokemon. He watched the guy for a few seconds to make sure he was all right before turning back to look at the other trainers. One of the other trainers walked out with a rather rambunctious looking Aipom and a ferocious Typhlosion that caused Persephone to vibrate a little in fear. As they walked by, Zach could have swore he heard the monkey make pirate-like grunts. Zach thought about the bonds the two must have developed through their journeys together.

“Hopefully we can become as strong together as they are, eh Persephone?� Zach awaited an answer, though from the soft clicks she was making and her gentle breathing he knew that she had fallen asleep. She is still young, Zach thought.

His attention shifted back to the sliding doors of the center as a longhaired blonde trainer plucked a ball off his belt and tossed it to the ground. A flash later and a “whoosh� of air followed by the beating of wings, Zach saw a Spearow glide around the trainer and land on his head. He saw the trainer make a pained face as the bird settled and Zach smiled. He knew exactly how the trainer felt. More trainers made their way out afterwards, and he thought he even saw an Ivysaur. Zach’s eyes enviously followed the trainer it walked alongside; he didn’t even remember how long ago he’d started wanting one.

Finally, Zach saw the trainer who’d fallen with his Hoppip emerge, now Hoppip-less, though holding another Pokéball in his hand. As he looked at the guy, he began thinking about how little he knew about anyone else. If they were to work together, they had to be comfortable with one enough, and alliances are always a good thing for someone to have. Straightening up and finding the bit of a ‘social butterfly’ Zach reluctantly carried within him, he walked over towards the trainer. He decided he'd talk to him, though he did realize time was ticking and he had to get to the boat soon. If the guy doesn't answer, Zach thought, I'll brush it off like nothing happened and get the hell to the boat.

“Hey, ah…I’m Zach,� he said, offering his hand.
