Pokémon Academy: The Original Remade [OOC][PG-13/Started/Not Accepting]


Recommended Posts

[spoiler=Background Info]Almost two years ago I made an RP simply called Pokémon Academy, which unfortunately died due to my own inactivity. However, it did spawn a few sequels, none of which I took part in, but it seems that those met the same fate as the first one. Recently I wanted to remake the RP, but the way the first RP was set up hints that it was merely a way for me to express my excitement for the then-new games Black and White. This one have more thoughts put in it, and hopefully it will be as exciting, if not more exciting, and longer than it's ancestor![/spoiler][spoiler=Plot]You are a student at the Pokémon Academy, a school for aspiring trainers that prefer to study their way into the Pokémon League instead of travelling around regions battling Gym Leaders for badges. Or maybe your reason for going to the academy instead is another? That does not matter.

Today is the first day of the month of June. At the end of June, this year of the Pokémon Academy will end, and studies will not continue until the month of August. But before the school year can end there are exams, the yearly Battle Grand Prix and maybe some mysteries that need solving? [/spoiler]
[spoiler=The Setting]The RP is, obviously, set at the Pokémon Academy, a school for trainers that, with only two years of study, allows the trainers to enter the Pokémon League without having to venture an entire region in search for Gym Badges. The Academy is located on an island in the middle of Lake Champion, with a river running from the lake to the great ocean in the south. The lake is surrounded by a big forest and snow-covered mountains to the north. A village called Champion's Landing is located on the southern edge of the lake. While the only way to get on and off the island is by boat or helicopter, there are plans to build a bridge between Champion's Landing and the Pokémon Academy island.

The island itself is covered by woods and a single mountain, except for the location of the Academy, its two dorms and the daycare center. The main school building is a big, white building with two pillars representing the two dorms, Sun and Moon, with the two dorm buildings being located not far from the main building. The Sun dorm is white with a yellow roof and is located near the edge of the island, near the docks where boats arrive and depart. The Moon dorm is of a grey, almost black, color with a silvercolored roof.[spoiler=The Dorms]The two dorms are Sun and Moon, and there are no difference between them whatsoever. Students are sent to either dorm by random when they enter the academy, and the school promotes teamwork between the dorms, even if there are some rivalry going on between them. Each dorm have their own school uniform, but the only real difference is the color they wear.[/spoiler][spoiler=Wild Pokémon]There are almost no wild Pokémon on the island except for a few forest-dwelling bird and Bug Pokémon and some Rock-types living on the side of the mountain. The Lake, however, contain a lot of Water-Types, and it is not rare for students to go fish for Pokémon, be it for the sake of catching, training or just the joy of fishing.

There are, however, four specific Pokémon that live on the island along the students;

The first is a wild Solrock, which has become the unofficial mascot of the Sun Dorm, and as such it can usually be found at day around the Sun Dorm. It's a particularly strong Solrock, and while a few have tried no student have been able to catch it. It gladly accepts challenges from the students, however.

The second is a wild Lunatone, who is an old friend of the previously mentioned Solrock. Like Solrock, Lunatone have become a mascot of the school, especially the Moon Dorm. Also like Solrock, Lunatone has suffered a lot of capture attempts but have been able to escape all of them. Unlike Solrock, however, Lunatone is a creature of the night and such does not usually accept challenges as it is "not in the mood" at day.

The third and fourth wild Pokémon are Zoroark and Zorua, a couple of sibling Pokémon who live on the island and are usually up to mischief. They sometimes take the form of students and attend classes, but they mostly use these disguises to eat in the diner hall along the students. While mischievous, they are not evil and know not to harm the student. They are good Pokémon, and if someone gets upset by their antics they know to apologize.[/spoiler][/spoiler][spoiler=Rules and Info]You should be familiar with the rules of the Roleplaying section of YCM if you want to join this RP. Along with those, there are some additional rules that apply to this RP:

1. At the beginning of the RP you are allowed a maximum of three Pokémon, which can be any basic Pokémon or any evolved Pokémon that evolves before Level 20. You can obviously not have any Legendary Pokémon, and you can have only one member of any semi-legendary in your team.
2. I want characters to be unique. This also extends to your Pokémon, so while having a Pokémon that someone else in the RP already have is not prohibited, it is frowned upon and will be taken in consideration when I analyze your application. (For the same reason Solrock, Lunatone, Zorua and Zoroark will be viewed with a frown, too)
3. Since this is the last month of the school year you won't get a lot of chances to catch Pokémon because your character will be busy studying and taking tests. The maximum amount of Pokémon that a student can own is therefore 4 at the end of the RP.
4. No shinies unless they are caught later, and then only if I give permission.[/spoiler][spoiler=Application][b]Name:[/b]
[b]Birthdate: [/b](Only month and day, please)
[b]Age: [/b] (Always 16, unless you were born on or before July 1)
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Dorm:[/b] (Sun or Moon)
[b]Appearance: [/b](At least a small paragrap. No pictures)
[b]Personality: [/b](Another small paragraph will suffice)
[b]Current Pokémon:[/b] (As previously stated; maximum of 3, no evolved Pokémon unless they evolve before Level 20. Also no legendaries. Phione does not count as a legendary for this cause)

That shouldn't be too hard to fill out. I'll let you tell the character's story in the RP instead of having you write a biography.[/spoiler][spoiler=My Application][b]Name: [/b]Cameron "Cam" Embel
[b]Birthdate: [/b]September 28
[b]Age: [/b]16
[b]Gender: [/b]Male
[b]Dorm:[/b] Sun
[b]Appearance: [/b]Cameron is quite tall, have a semi-athletic build and has short, dirt blonde hair which fades into a more brownish color at the temples and green eyes. His face is round, his nose is sharp and he usually has a victorious smug on his face. At times he wears a pair of square glasses, but he usually wear a pair of lenses during school hours. When at the school grounds he will always wear his white Sun uniform with golden trim and a red headband with a golden sun symbol on it, the symbol of his village. While out of his school uniform Cameron wears a Shaolin-styled monk suit, traditional to the trainers of his village of origin.
[b]Personality: [/b]Cameron is the son of a well-known Pokémon Trainer and a nurse. While his father is very adventurous and earned his place in the Pokémon League by collecting 8 badges his mother is very protective and careful, which is why he was sent to the Pokémon Academy instead of being allowed to travel the regions. However, Cameron's own personality is more similar to his father's than his mother's. Cameron is a stubborn guy with a passion for battle and adventuring, but he does also have a hot temperament. Despite this, he is quite the strategist, and in his battle he prefers using complex strategies instead of brute strength. During battle, he usually move in a way similar to the Pokémon he's using to get a stronger connection to his Pokémon, helping both him and his Pokémon during fights.

[b]Name:[/b] Cael Mason
[b]Birthdate: [/b]July 2
[b]Age: [/b]16
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Dorm:[/b] Moon
[b]Appearance: [/b]Cael stands at 5 foot 1. He has a slightly thin waist and long arms that are a few centimeters from reaching his knees. He has an average build and medium length hair that's somewhat shaggy and tends to get in his eyes. Cael is not too athletic but he has strong legs. His faces has a few freckles and his nose isn't very big. Along with his thin eye brows, he has blue eyes and a nice smile, though his teeth aren't 'pearly whites'. His ears are usually covered by his hair. Outside of his uniform he is usually seen wearing shorts and a t-shirt, if it's cold then he will wear jeans or splash-pants with a hoodie.
[b]Personality: [/b]Cael is in love with sports, he's only involved with hockey when he can and he's terrible at it. He has an up tight attitude and can be angered easily, this can ruin him in Pokémon battles. He won't take no for an answer and will try to demolish anyone in the way of his 'dream', or at least try to. He's usually a lesser in cliques but doesn't mind, he does have friends after all. He isn't bad with Pokémon, he treats them as equals and will often play with wild ones. Cael's dream is... well that's the issue. He hasn't yet decided what he wants to do with his life. He gets frustrated with that but tries to stay positive, which he is... for the most part. When he catches a Pokémon he instantly nicknames it after a term in sports.

[b]Birthdate: [/b]October 23
[b]Age: [/b]16
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Dorm:[/b] Sun
[b]Appearance: [/b]Daniel has very spiky dirty-blond hair with a yellow patch, though this patch is actually Chu, his Joltik, who feeds off of his static electricity by riding in his hair. His spiky hair is actually a mullet that has spiked up thanks to Chu. He has striking blue eyes, and a lanky build. When not wearing his school uniform, he usually has on a T-Shirt with some sort of funny Pokemon anecdote, a safari vest, jeans, hiking boots, a pair of headphones around his neck that are attached to a hi-tech SilphCo device called a "myPod", and a pair of aviator goggles just above his hairline. He also carries around a backpack that has all sorts of gear, including a special extendable bug-catching net, camera and a laptop.
[b]Personality: [/b]Daniel is very...eccentric...He can be completely calm and serious one moment, and totally outrageous and silly the next. However, he is very caring about Pokemon, and gets along with with them, especially Bug Pokemon. However, he hates Flying Pokemon and frog-like Pokemon, since they eat bugs. He is technologically literate and uses his laptop often, but he doesn't really like the outdoors, having grown up in a city, and therefore prefers to do his research in his room or from a laboratory. He wants to become a Pokemon Professor researching the relationships between Pokemon in the ecosystems they inhabit, and is hoping that competing in the Pokemon League might allow his research to become more prominent.

Name: Jarvan "Jay" Brightston

Birthdate: September 10

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Dorm: Sun

Appearance: 5' 4", pale skin, atrophic figure. His eyes are pale blue and show a calm grace and gentleness. If one looks for long enough, one discovers that his left eye shines unnaturally, revealing that the eye is blind. His pale blonde hair is kept short and is neatly groomed. The first thing that catches people's eyes is that he is wheelchair bound. His chair is motorized and is of a sleek, futuristic design, with two monitors that can be flipped up on either side. One of the monitors serves as a Pokedex and is attached to his original Pokedex. The chair also has a few compartments on the inside of the chair, where various items, including his Pokeballs, are kept. Outside of his normal academy uniform, his attire is very simple and is clearly worn for comfort, usually consisting of a T-shirt and sweatpants, with a jacket if the weather calls for it.

Personality: Jay is a very calm and collected person who is difficult to unsettle. Due to his tragic past, Jay has learned how to live with his limitations and has become very patient as a result. When excited, some parts of his old self emerge, like his cockiness and thirst for adventure, but only slightly, never overtaking his current subdued self. He is somewhat self-conscious about his disabilities, but luckily, people of the academy rarely bring it up. He is non-confrontational, but he rarely turns down a challenge to a Pokemon battle, where he uses strategy and intelligence more than passion and fighting spirit.

Current Pokemon: Bell - Beldum (plan to evolve it into Metang early in the plot)

Blitz - Magnemite

Dewey - Solosis

[s]It's 2:15 in the morning here as I start this app, so I'm only doing the basic bits. No Appearance or Personality. I'll do them tomorrow.[/s]

[spoiler=App][b]Name:[/b] Michael Davidson
[b]Birthdate: [/b]January 22
[b]Age: [/b] 17 (I guess?)
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Dorm:[/b] Moon
[b]Appearance: [/b]Michael stands at almost 6' tall, and has a rather thin and lean frame that shows his rather healthy state, a result of he almost constant travelling as an early teen and his rather healthy diet, though he eats food that he likes.
He has rather pale skin which, though doesn't seem that unhealthy, does exaggerate the bags underneath his eyes, which does result in an almost sickly appearance in the face, though his rather handsome looks and friendly, cheerful smile does something to erase that appearance.
His silvery blue eyes betray an open heart and friendly personality, as well as hidden intelligence and a sharp mind, and seem to sparkle in the sun. These match his spiky, medium length Silvery Blue hair that is often compared to Karen's, which has the same colour. His appearance gives a handsome look about it which often seems to attract girls to him, though he doesn't appear interested in relationships and doesn't seem to really notice these advances.
His Uniform is often worn in a casual way, with the shirt not buttoned up properly and any Tie discarded. Outside of this Uniform, he will often wear mearly a casual shirt and Jeans, no matter the weather. If it is especially cold, he may wear a T-shirt underneath the Shirt and open the shirt buttons, and may rarely don a dark brown leather Jacket. He also wears two pendants around his neck, one with a Masterball design and one made of Steelix Steel, with a Growlithe carved into it.
He owns a modern Pokétch with most of the latest Applications on it and a Special design for a Pokégear, not to be released by Silphco for another year, which has many more apps that a Pokégear and a Pokétch combined, and acts like an Advanced Smartphone. As well as having the normal Pokégear Applications, it has the ability to play music, surf the internet and has an integrated Pokédex, among other things.
[b]Personality: [/b]Michael is a rather lax, non-chalant person, known around the campus for both his talent (In battling and theory), and his evasion of using that talent. Although he is an avid battler, he will rarely accept challenges, and almost never declares challenges, as he wishes not to waste energy on such a meager thing as battling 'when there is such a beautiful world to admire'. He is a large lover of nature, and can often be seen walking through the surrounding forests or relaxing on the back of his Lapras with his pokémon while it swims around the lake.
He retains this personality in battle, maintaining a loose, relaxed battling attitude that works much to his advantage, as it allows him to be detached and avoid getting caught in the moment. It allows him to spot flaws in an opponents strategy that a high adrenaline competitor would miss.
He cares highly about all pokémon, and though he will not immeadiately come to the aid of a wild pokémon - for he does not wish to disturb nature - he will rescue a pokémon if its life is in danger, or it is owned. He also cares about other humans quite a bit, protecting most people from harm if he can.
He is easy to make friends with due to his relaxed and un-prejudiced nature, and can see the positives in people that would otherwise be ignored. These aspects of him make him rather popular with the people in both Dorms, and friends with most people within his own Moon Dorm, though he doesn't really realise how popular he is and acts casual and himself around anybody and everybody. He doesn't really regard the rivalry between the dorms, befriending people whether they are from his dorm or not.
He is rather talented in music, alongside pokémon battles, and will often be found round the back of school playing some guitar and singing, and occasionally gathers small crowds of people and pokémon to watch him.
[b]Bio[/b][b]:[/b] (I've included one because I like Bios, and it's a part of the character. It also helps avoid confusion(In me or others) and arguments about character pasts) As the younger Brother of the Johto Elite Four Member, Karen, he was constantly overshadowed and underappreciated, and never had any chance to show any talent. Despite having an exceptional talent with Pokémon, Karen had the headstart and was already a trainer by the time Michael could speak, and had defeated Gym leaders before he had even entered school.
As such, he didn't get much appreciation from his parents, and no matter what he did - from capturing a Growlithe at 9, having found a random pokéball lying around, to defeating his first Gym - he could never gain any recognition or praise. However, rather than making him try harder, or turning him into something evil and criminal, it merely caused him to go lazy and relaxed. He realised that the only way to earn his parents respect would be to defeat Karen, and he didn't believe he could do that.
So while he started his pokémon journey, aged 12, he didn't have much confidence in completing it. He was a rather talented trainer, and defeated 5 Gyms in his first year, and had earned every Johto badge within the next year. He was tempted to enter the Indigo League itself, and attempt to defeat Karen, but decided against it.

Instead, he decided he would travel and study at the Pokémon Academy in an attempt to improve his battling and theory skills, and to take a holiday away from the travelling and Battling. He chose only very close pokémon - including the child of his first pokémon, Arcanine - to join him, and entered the school easily, due to both his exceptional skill and his famous family.
Arriving, he was quite disappointed to find that he was one of the top in the class, and that he didn't learn a hell of a lot from being there. He did get a few tips and pointers, but there was little he hadn't learnt from experience. But he enjoyed his days there, and made many friends. Although unaware of it, he even had a small, unofficial fan club of people who had seen him battle the gym leaders, and was almost instantly made 'famous' on the campus due to his reputation as a previous proffessional trainer, and the Brother of an Elite Four.
This died down after about the first year, and most people came to value his relaxed and good-natured personality, and rather than being adored, he became respected and befriended almost everyone on campus, and has no enemies or rivals that he is aware of. He has no Idea what he is going to do after the Academy is finished for him, though he presumes he will travel Kanto in order to gain new pokémon and defeat the Gyms, for a total of 16 gyms before he challenges the Elite four, though he contemplates visiting Sinnoh for its history.
[spoiler=Current Pokémon:][spoiler=Pokémon 1: Growlithe]Name: Growlithe
Gender: Male
Personality: Growlithe is a hyper young pokémon who seems to find joy in adventure and battling. He seems to also like getting into mischief, but has not yet become a serious problem for Michael to handle. He has been known to roam the campus on his own occasionally, and is usually a hit with the rest of the students.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Pokémon 2: Lapras]Name: Lapras
Gender: Female
Personality: Lapras is a calm and Intelligent Pokémon, generic of its Species. It is one of Michael's most trusted pokémon, next to his Arcanine, and has been with him through much of his challenges. As such, they are incredibly close, and Michael will rarely use her in battle. [/spoiler]
[spoiler=Pokémon 3: Sneasel]Name: Sneasel
Gender: Male
Personality: Sneasel is a rather snobby and overconfident pokémon who believes much too much in his own powers. As such, he will often treat his opponents with disdain, and enjoys defeating lesser opponents with ease, for it seems to display his power. He also secretly enjoys the Idea of Contests, which only Michael seems to know, and is slightly ashamed of this passion.
He is secretly soft inside, opening up occasionally to Michael, but will act rather tough and stern on this outside usually. However, much to his surprise, this often makes him seem more cute to the girls on school campus, due to his short stature. [/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]

Not a huge fan of Unova Pokémon, so dont expect me to attempt to catch any.

[b]Appearance: [/b][font="tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#5a5a5a"][size=3]Alec stands at 5'11, and is neither too skinny or too fat. He has more of a parkour build, referring to muscle of course. Although his muscles are usually covered do to his clothing. He is always wearing a dark silver sweater, it doesn't matter how hot it is. The sweater has extra cloth(whatever material it is made of) on both shoulders, and both elbows resembling gardbraces and vambraces of a knights armor. His sweater's hood when put on resembles the top portion of a knight helmet; there is also a extra flap on the neck portion which he can pull up to complete the illusion of a helmet. His jeans are also the same color as his sweater, but they are just your average jeans. He wears running shoes that are also the same color as the sweater. He has a light brown skin tone. Since he was born with Heterochromia Iridum his eyes are different colors; one being black(right) and the other white(it's an RP so I chose colors that may not happen in real life). His wavy hair shoulder lenght, and none covers his face. [/size][/color][/font]
[b]Personality: [/b][color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Alec has this knight in shining armor type of personality. He is one to help those in need even if they are strangers, especially females. He has a strong sense of justice which drives him in life, trying to get rid of evil. This also makes him have a strong sense in honor, making him follow the rules that are in place. This honor that he has also retrains him from doing any sneak attacks during battle, he likes charging head and countering better. Even with these traits he still is somewhat of a good person to hang around with. He does have a sense of humor, can get along with people, etc. He just has justice and honor at the top of his list. If anything would break those he would rather not do it. Alec also tends to push those beliefs on to others, telling them sneak attacks are for cowards, cheating in for the weak, etc.[/size][/font][/color]

I thought you might say that. Damn.
I'll just change Weavle to Sneasel, and I'm not that bothered if it never evolves. It's a good enough pokémon already, and I dont know how he'd evolve in the RP. But it's mainly there for speed. Umbreon's got Defense, Lapras has High HP and has powerful attacks, and Sneasel/Weavile are fast. It doesn't matter which one it is.

[b]Name:[/b] Areo Skyterae
[b]Birthdate: [/b]July 13th
[b]Age: [/b] 16
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Dorm:[/b] Moon
[b]Appearance: [/b]Stands at 5' 6", and has a slim figure. He has smooth, straight red hair and dark-green eyes, and his face looks innocent and a little young. He likes to wear the dark-grey Moon Dorm uniform with silver trims a lot, so one would rarely ever see him without it. However, when he doesn't wear it, he wears white jeans, a white-pinstripe black button shirt, and a black jacket with a hoodie over it. He is quite light and is an excellent jumper, and his Pokeballs - stylized black and white - weigh almost nothing at all.
[b]Personality: [/b]Areo tends to be really quiet, rarely saying anything, although he does tend to talk a lot with friends, and especially to Ice despite her own quietness. He prefers the night over the day, as well as preferring quiet places over high-social ones. He's really smart and calculative when he wants to be, but complicated thinking gives him a slight headache.
He cares a lot about his Pokemon, and usually tries to minimize any damage dealt to them. For that reason, during battles he tends to focus on them dodging, using hit-and-run tactics. Because of this, their speeds are greater than that of their normal species.
Somewhere along the way, he learned to have his Pokemon 'show off' during battles, such as doing a Gust spin while dodging. He's a relaxed individual, even when battling, but becomes more and more serious each time his Pokemon are hurt, slowly abandoning his tactics for raw power. Because of this, one could say he really hates losing, and he goes almost completely quiet when it happens. Even so, he quickly turns back to his normal self after they've recovered.
Yes, he has a crush on Ice.
[b]Current Pokémon:[/b] Pidgey, Taillow, Noctowl

-.- I always find it intresting and I get it's cliche, but I still find it an intresting power anyway. Secondly their not meant to be super powers, but if they are I could get rid them because I don't wish to have an advantage. Lastly I based my character a bit off my two favorites, Green and Anabel, which Green was kidnapped and Anabel has the talk and read minds of pokemon power so that's were I based my character off of.Besides what other powers are there in pokemon. Again I can always get rid of it if it means your all going to hate me I don't like confrontation.
