The Hoenn region, a tropical paradise filled with many long and annoying water routes. This is the backdrop for our roleplay. Things in the Pokémon world are pretty much as you remember them oh there have been subtle changes. It's been about two decades since Ash Ketchum defeated his father Red on top of Mt. Silver and finally became a Pokémon Master. He ended up marrying Top Coordinator Dawn Berlitz and putting down roots in Sinnoh's Twinleaf Town. Even had a son who didn't quite live up to the legacy left to him by his father and grandfather,
Rumor has it the kid managed to win his first League but got Swept by Aaron of the Sinnoh Elite Four and kind of dropped off the map several years ago... Other than that though things have been largely unchanged for years As aspiring Pokémon Masters you've grown up on the stories of Ash and Red and have been hoping to emulate them. This is what brought you to the Hoenn Region. You came here to gather the Badges and challenge the Pokémon League but alas such things were not to be.
Hoenn has fallen. Shortly after you all arrived the region was subject to a coup d'état from the local ninja clan. The Iga ninja clan to be precise. In a rather beautifally coordinated assault all of the Gyms and the Pokémon League were struck at the same time. The Elite Four and Champion Wallace have been confirmed dead. Most of the Gym Leaders likewise, rumors persist that some may have escaped, but even if they had the ninjas would be hunting them down. The Gyms are still technically open, just run by the Iga clan.
The general populace is paralyzed with fear and the Iga clan has taken over all government and policing functions. The region is essentially on lock down, no one gets in or out unless the Iga clan wants them to. They treat the general poupulace rather well, so long as they keep their heads down. Dissenters are dealt with with swift ruthlessness. In order to combat the new threat Team Aqua and Team Magma have reformed, though this is really just so they can grab power for themselves. The two organizations still loathe each other though and refuse to work together so a three-way conflict has emerged.
You the PCs were in the region during this coup and are now stuck there. You all received mysterious notes telling you to come to Littleroot Town and that whoever sent them has a job for you. This is where our story would open with the PCs gathering at the designated meeting place.
Other than that in terms of recent events there's not much to know except that Team Flare was stopped over in Kalos a few years back. Ideally I'm looking for about four to six players to play decently experienced Trainers. You know they've traveled through a region or two before coming here but haven't won any Leagues or anything. Now on to the character sheet:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Home Region:
Regions traveled through:
Current Team (Please note that with the Iga Clan running things the Pokemon Transport System is offline so you will be stuck with the first six Pokémon that you obtain, whether you bring them with you or they're caught in Hoenn) Please include a list of the currently known moves for each Pokémon, (up to four for each) abilities, any nicknames, genders, held items, and make special note of your Starter because I like to know these things.
Physical/Personality description:
Brief Biography:
Also of note: Do NOT expect the Iga Clan to behave like normal Pokémon villains, I'm playing the ninja thing up to the hilt. They play by a different set of rules. Team Aqua and Team Magma will however behave that way.
