[spoiler=Rules and Information]

Keep in mind that all forum rules and RP section rules apply. Especially when it comes to godmodding and powerplaying. These are two things that really bother me, particularly in Pokémon RPs, so keep this in mind. Try to make decent-quality posts and characters, and please try not to let this RP die. I've put a lot of thought into it, so I would appreciate that.

This RP is PG-16 which means it will have mature themes such as predation, morality, and loss. I have a detailed plot in mind, but how it goes is subject to the actions of the players. The genre is action/adventure, but there will be more to it than just that. Battles will be anime-esque, but I am including levels and such in this RP. And, most importantly of all, this will be a Pokémon-centric RP. By that, I mean you will be roleplaying from a Pokémon's perspective. To be honest, I've had the idea of making a Pokémon-centric RP for years but figured it wouldn't have much of a reception here. But I thought I'd try it out anyway.

While this is open acceptance, there will be a cut-off point, and Lord CowCow and I reserve the right to decline an application with quality issues. I'm not sure what the cut-off is yet, but with that in mind, I'd rather you keep it to one character for now. Also, I would prefer having no overlap in terms of species, but there can be up to two of the same species in this RP (this doesn't apply to NPCs so don't worry about that). However, that does not apply to certain particularly uncommon species such as Porygon. In cases like that, it makes more sense for there to be only one.

 

[spoiler=Setting]

Map

Pixel Map
"Pokémon: The Promised Land" takes place in contemporary Unova, a few years before the events of Pokémon Black and White. Unova has long been known by many to be one of the most hostile regions to live in. It has been wracked by civil war not only once, but twice, and each time the land has been destroyed without thought for the inhabitants. While the Swords of Justice stepped in during the last war, they have disappeared sometime since, leaving Pokémon to fend for themselves.

The story starts out in the White Forest, a place of plenty, filled with Pokémon of all shapes and sizes. While most Pokémon live in families, single-species herds, or alone, the White Forest is the single largest exception in the whole of Unova. Consisting of natives, foreigners, and temporary travelers, this place is known as an idyllic haven where predators work beside prey and where none are judged by their species or type. Here, Pokémon live together in harmony.

Inhabitants of the White Forest reside in various hollowed trees, burrows, and ponds. There is even a large shrine in the center where Pokémon pray to their legendary deity of choice. A chieftain resides over the entire forest. The forest shaman advises him. There are also two “forces” within the forest. The border patrol, which protects the White Forest from those who would disturb their haven, and the forest watch, which keeps peace within. There is even a small market where food and supplies are bartered, as well as a storage tree. Many Pokémon have taken to specialties such as woodcarving or weaving, and pass these skills on to family or apprentices. Recently, a professional fighter, who learned to fight from experience under a trainer, has started up a dojo.

The White Forest seems a magical place. A sanctuary sheltered from the rest of the world...

 

[spoiler=Plot]

It is summer, and tensions are high. Just the year before, swarms of foreign Pokémon ran wild but were quickly culled in an effort to curb the burgeoning population. There are those who think such actions necessary to keep the native population from being overrun, and others who think an alternative method would be better. Debates rage, but nobody can seem to come to a consensus. In the meantime, the remaining foreign Pokémon are being hunted as invasive species. However, they're not the only ones being targeted. Foreign and native Pokémon alike are disappearing from their trainers. It is a perilous time to be a Pokémon.

Too bad that's what your characters are. Pokémon, that is. Thankfully, they live in one of the few safe havens in Unova: the White Forest, a unique civilization kept secure for generations by the vigilance of the inhabitants. Lately however, security has been lax, and the chieftain has received some unsettling news. The White Forest may not be as undiscovered as they thought it was...

 

[spoiler=Database]

Will be updated as time passes.

[spoiler=NPCs]

Leader and Advisor

Azul: A level 40 Azumarill who leads the White Forest. Has a son named Deyna who he dotes on.
Uru: A level 30 Xatu who is also the oldest inhabitant of the forest aside from Laputa. However, she is not a native, and sometimes tells stories of her childhood in Guyana. The forest shaman.

 

Border Patrol
Laputa: A level 45 Golurk who has guarded the forest since before even Uru's arrival. Anybody who desires to enter the forest must do so with its permission. The border patrol commander.

Borea: A level 40 Noctowl who works as the wing commander of the sky patrol. She speaks in a soft tone, but is notorious for her intimidating glare. Can be a bit distant with those she doesn't know.

Jinx: A level 20 Swoobat who is rather clumsy but sweet. Leads squad seven of the sky patrol. There are rumors that she and Borea are a thing, but nobody dares to mention it around the latter.

 

Others
Shaolin: A level 50 Mienshao who runs the dojo and is respected far and wide. Has a soft spot for children, who he enjoys teaching. Has a small crush on Sophia, but is oblivious to her feelings.

Sophia: A level 25 Haunter who runs the school. It's rumored that she used to be a Mienfoo. Has a crush on Shaolin. She's a sweetheart, but has a mischievous streak that makes class interesting.

Donna: A level 16 Delcatty who is the lead singer of "Complicated Fluff." Is rather prissy and full of herself, but has a lot of fans.

 

 

[spoiler=Terms]

Forest Chieftain: Appointed by the inhabitants to lead the White Forest.
Forest Shaman: Tends the shrine and advises the chieftain.
Border Patrol: Guards the perimeters of the forest from outsiders. It has split itself into two divisions: the border patrol and the sky patrol. The leader of the land-based section is called the commander. Each division has ten squads composed of eight to twelve Pokémon. Some squads are more popular than others based on the squad leader.

Sky Patrol: A section of the border patrol comprised solely of flyers. Under the guidance of its leader, the wing commander, it has earned itself quite a bit of prestige.
Forest Watch: Keeps the peace within the forest. The leader is called the sergeant.
Dojo Master: Runs the dojo. Is widely known as the best fighter within the forest.

Schoolmaster: Runs the school.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Eligible Pokémon]

Eligible Pokémon include:

  • Baby Pokémon (e.g. Togepi)
  • Unevolved Pokémon (e.g. Squirtle)
  • Pokémon that don't evolve (e.g. Farfetch'd). However, depending on the power of the Pokémon, Lord CowCow or I may decide not to accept it (e.g. Druddigon)

Non-eligible Pokémon include:

  • Legendaries (e.g. Mew)
  • First-evolutions (e.g. Ivysaur or Raticate)
  • Second-evolutions (e.g. Charizard)

Notes:

  • The baby clause: If a baby Pokémon can evolve twice, then you may take the first-evolution (e.g. Pikachu). However, if it only evolves once, then you cannot play as the evolved Pokémon (e.g. Lucario).
  • You are not limited to Pokémon of a particular region. This includes Kalos Pokémon.
  • If you desire to play a normally non-eligible Pokémon (e.g. Quilava) you can ask Lord CowCow or I about it and we can try to work something out. Legendaries are absolute negatives, however.

[spoiler=Deyna]

z5EDDEw.gif
"Let's do our best to get things done."


Personality Information
Name: Deyna
Species: Buizel
Gender: Male (He/Him)
Age: 4 years
[spoiler=Appearance]

63MxVgK.png

 

 

[spoiler=Personality]

A little spoiled and unused to hardship, nonetheless Deyna is loyal to his friends and has a solid moral core. He is rather Hardy and easily bounces back from injuries or stress, which makes him frustrated with his father's china-doll treatment. He's had a number of arguments with his father on that subject, but it never seems to get him anywhere. He likes to run and swim as well as listen to people talk about the outside world.

 

Deyna's no stranger to the limelight, being the chieftain's son. But instead of flourishing in it, he flounders. Often, he feels inadequate and compares himself to his wise, experienced father. Still, he understands that his father has faults as well (such as his overprotectiveness), so he juggles both admiration and frustration. He can be a bit needy and overdependent on others' opinions, and often chooses to sacrifice his own judgments to please the majority.

 

When not feeling self-conscious however, he displays a resourcefulness and maturity beyond his years. While not particularly intelligent, the otter has a good head on his shoulders and his decisions are often sound. His sense of adventure can lead him into sticky situations, however.

 

 

[spoiler=Biography]

Born the only child of Azul and Lisa, who died soon after he was hatched, Deyna has been stifled by his father's overprotective tendencies since then. Because of that, he has shown moments of rebellion and has attempted to join the border patrol multiple times only to get shot down because of his father's wishes. Instead, he attached himself to those who have come in from the outside and received a vicarious thrill from their tales of adventure. One such Pokémon was Constable, whom he has developed a close bond with.

 

The Buizel has attempted to get some battle training from Shaolin, but his father said it was far too dangerous. However, the dojo master has managed to teach him in secret a couple times, so he is not entirely defenseless. Other than that his life has been fairly carefree, though he's often had to settle disagreements in his father's place.

 

 

Combat Information:
Level: 15
Ability: Swift Swim
Held Item: N/A
Moves: Sonic Boom, Water Sport, Quick Attack, Water Gun, Aqua Ring (from father)

[spoiler=Fighting Style]

While he's not the best or most experienced fighter, when he does fight he uses a mixture of close-up physical moves and distance attacks.

...Arceus-damn, you expect me to not want to join this with my Ditto? Interest be captured...

Heh, I should've known XD Oh but before you get to scheming too hard (since the app skeleton isn't up yet). Please note that your character should be at most level 15 so won't be able to have Neos as he usually is, ie really old and with many forms. Particularly the human form would be a no go

 

Anyway of course I'm interested I'm co-host XD

I was planning on this being an early-in-life variant of Neos to begin with, and only with a...tentative hold on his chosen human form at most. (Which would be a rare sight in this RP, anyway).

Now I'm imagining a blob shaped kinda as a human and that's hilarious. XD

Sorry if I was rude just wanted to make sure you didn't get too far into the schemes. ^^;

Glad to hear it, guys! :D

 

As for the level system, I forgot that there are some differences (thanks for reminding me, Ren), but for the purposes of this RP, we are using the ORAS system since it's more recent, so I assume it's more along the lines of what the game designers want.

So is this kinda like the Mystery Dungeon games? Cuz I really, really love those.

 

If you don't plan this RP to span out hundreds and hundreds of pages then I'm interested.

 

Yeah to an extent though it's a bit more journey-ish than your average PMD game, which is a lot. There are humans though, but one of the main goals is to avoid them so yeah.

Well I'm not planning on having it lasting as long as the GCRP that's for sure. I have a fairly detailed plot in mind but I doubt it'll span hundreds of pages. We'd be glad to have ya, though. :)

Hopefully, this fares well.

 

Also, unless I get slammed with something else, I did a little math in my head and I would estimate this early variant of Neos to be about lvl. 13 and 4 years old. He also won't be starting off with any ability in human-morphing, but will be something he obtains an interest in during the course of the RP.

 

Which I believe would be acceptable for the Ditto, no?

I think one more person expressing interest and we can Transform, er, transform this into an OOC.

 

A heads up so people know I will be using co-host powers to have three characters, partially cause one will be an important character.

Will say what Mons I'm gonna have here.

 

Stoutland

Maractus

I have a question that could apply to everyone. As the rp goes on and changes happen (I'm assuming character growth can/will happen, and even evolutions can/will happen) can movepools change as well? So long as it's not a "sudden" change and is explained via rp?

I should mention that double posting is a no-no ^^; Welcome though even though the first thing I tell you is off. XD

And yeah leveling up and such will happen, found TMs will happen, and move tutors will be found and such. Generally you'd take it up with me or Sethera when you want move changes and such. But for the most part we're trusting the RPers to not abuse the system. More or less, run it by us when you think it's a good time for such changes.

Oh right I should uh, do the app thing.

Reminder this specific app isn't exactly a good thing to follow as it includes a third stage of higher level. Only doing this cause co-host

 

[spoiler=Constable]
17w3l05.gif
“Come on pups we've got a job to do."



Personality Information
Name: Constable
Species: Stoutland
Gender: Male, he
Age: 40
[spoiler=Appearance]ipewwo5.jpg?1
Constable is in good shape for his age, however he is a bit soft these days. He keeps his fur well kept, prim and proper, and it masks the scars that cover his body. There's a patch of burned skin on his right side from when he defended the forest from an enraged Volcarona.
Wears a hat that he found many years ago which resembles a police chief's hat.


[spoiler=Personality]
Constable is very Adamant about his job. He believes its his job to protect everyone in the Forest and he has a strong sense of justice. Many in his position would grow cynical and angry, especially with how long Constable has been around and how much he's seen. However he keeps a powerful hope in the world and the people, and Pokemon, in it. Constable is a guide, always trying to teach others and nurture them into being the best they can be. Sometimes a bit gruff and grumpy, especially when hungry, Constable can come off as a kind but strict grandpa to many of the younger denizens of the forest. When facing down an opponent, however, Constable can be a terror. When he fights seriously he's truly a ferocious sight to behold. Which is something he takes pride in, as it helps him to protect the people who he cares for like family. Has always wanted children but never got around to it, Constable is especially fond of younger Pokemon. He's also a bit awkward and overly polite around females around his age.


[spoiler=Biography]
A true native of the White Forest, Constable has lived there since he was a young pup. His father was the previous Sergeant and he had always dreamed of following in his footsteps. However once he evolved into a Herdier he felt unsure of his lot in life and decided he wanted to see more of the world and set out to explore it. He saw many horrible things in his travels. Aggressive and power-hungry Pokemon and humans alike, people and Pokemon living in terrible conditions, and the like. But he also saw many instances of spirited and kind individuals fighting this darkness and living their lives. Constable returned to the White Forest with renewed purpose. He took his father's position when he grew too old for the duties and strove to become the best he could be. He fought off many invaders and kept the peace so well that he quickly became a valued and respected member of society.



Combat Information:
Level: 35
Ability: Intimidate
Held Item: Chesto Berry. Carries it around in a pouch so he doesn't fall asleep on the job.
Moves: Take Down, Crunch, Roar, Pursuit, Fire Fang, Giga Impact
[spoiler=Fighting Style]
Aggressive, Constable tries to eliminate opponents as fast as possible with as little collateral damage as possible. Little regard for own safety.



Other Information:
[spoiler=Theme Music]


[spoiler=Secondary Theme Music]



 

 

Sometimes speaks a bit muffled due to his fur.
Can be a bit of an overeater.
Found the TM for Giga Impact when he was young, but never used it because of fear. When a Volcarona attacked the denizens of the Forest he could do nothing, until he decided to use the TM and used the move on the rampaging Pokemon. It almost cost him his life but won him the battle.

Skype: You already have it :P

 

 

[spoiler=Samba]
uEb70Vs.png
“Hey guys guys this is, uh, this, errr. Oh hi when did you get here?"



Personality Information
Name: Samba
Species: Maractus
Gender: Male, he, him
Age: 5 years old
[spoiler=Appearance]
thgNRpB.gif
I couldn't resist the gif. Liligant not included.
Samba wears a red bowtie all the time. Because bowties are cool. Other than that he doesn't look much different than most other Maractus.


[spoiler=Personality]
Samba is a free-spirit. He is also a complete air-head. He doesn't really ever understand what's going on and even when he does he sometimes forgets about it right after. Has a horrible memory and tends to forget even his own name sometimes. He's friendly and happy though, always, and naturally gives off an aura of peace and joy. Loves to dance and twirl more than anything and can sometimes be found just dancing around like a fool while in the middle of an errand. However he's always willing to help, despite that he doesn't always get things right, or even finished. He's still the most honest and stalwart companion you could ever come across.
While he understands sadness and loss, he refuses to let it get to him. This may be a coping mechanism, it may be that he's just not smart enough to hang on to negative emotions, but mostly it's just his desire to live in a happy and peaceful world.
Samba likes crowds and is most comfortable when surrounded by friends. He's quick to make friends and practically never abandons them or gets upset.
It may come as a surprise but Samba actually has dreams of heroics. He always wanted to save the world but he's still perfectly happy just living a happy life.


[spoiler=Biography]
Samba isn't a native of the White Forest, he originally lived in the desert, a fair distance away. How did he get to White Forest? Well, he's not entirely sure. One day he went out for a walk and was lost in thought. He only stopped and realized something was wrong when he noticed the trees. He had wandered all the way to White Forest. Deciding the place was cozy and, since he didn't have people back home for the most part, decided to stick around. He isn't very useful for anything but the Pokemon of the Forest seem to like him for the most part, even if he can get frustrating to deal with at times. He loves it there and is perfectly happy doing odd-jobs for whoever is willing to give him something to do.



Combat Information:
Level: 10
Ability: Water Absorb
Held Item: Big Root
Moves: Leech Seed, Spiky Shield, Absorb, Pin Missile, Sweet Scent, Cotton Guard
[spoiler=Fighting Style]
Barely doing anything. Just sit tight and survive.

[spoiler=Duchess]
o3QlcsI.png
“Hmph"



Personality Information
Name: Duchess
Species: Snivy
Gender: Female, she, her
Age: 2 years old
[spoiler=Appearance]
jasuWO2.jpg
Slightly lighter in color than most Snivy, and with even more of a smug face.


[spoiler=Personality]
Duchess is somewhat of a spoiled princess. She only wants the best and often refuses anything else. She tends to look down on others and has a very haughty attitude. She's extremely intelligent and she knows it, believing herself to be a prodigy. She uses this intellect to help others, in large part because she adores gratitude. Her opinion on unintelligence is that it shouldn't exist, and she quite dislikes those she considers dumb. Though she doesn't hold them to her standard because she believes she's the most intelligent Pokemon to exist.
She is careful and guarded in many things, including friendships and love. Though a large part of her wants romance and friends, she denies this entirely and even goes so far as to insult those who get close to her.
Duchess is a bit of a coward despite her bravado. She fears the dark, pain, and being alone, among other things. Sometimes this can manifest in surprisingly clingy and childish ways.


[spoiler=Biography]
Duchess was one of the starter Pokemon given to new trainers, but her attitude made it so not many people were interested in being her trainer despite that she was bred specially. Until one day she was chosen by a young boy with a craving for adventure. She at first thought this was a boy with great taste, but she was wrong. The boy was a complete idiot. He had a lot of money and used it to buy a bunch of TMs. The only ones that actually worked were Solar Beam and Substitute. He then proceeded to use these moves in the worst possible manner again and again and again. He lost almost every battle, only winning a few through luck. Finally Duchess got sick of it and left the boy, escaping to the one place she heard was a safe haven for wild Pokemon, The White Forest.
She has only been there for a month, but she already is fairly well known for her attitude and the fact that she increased productivity in several areas within the first week of living in the forest.



Combat Information:
Level: 7
Ability: Contrary
Held Item:
Moves: Tackle, Leer, Vine Whip, Solar Beam, Substitute
[spoiler=Fighting Style]
Tactical but fast. Duchess fights smartly but with an emphasis on hit and run usually.

Oh yeah, should say. I figured I'd wait until people choose their Pokémon before I make an app because unlike CowCow, I don't have certain Pokémon I want to play, so I'm gonna wait so I don't take a Pokémon that you guys want. Sure, overlap's allowed, but yeah. ^^;

Should've noted my interest sooner, but imma make an app right away instead.  Obvious choice was obvious -w-

 

[spoiler=Apo]


Y2owTgM.gif?1
"Hey pal, watch where you're going!" 

Personality Information

Name: Apo
Species: Deino
Gender: Male (He/Him)
Age: One year and two months
[spoiler=Appearance]
6Nlxeu6.png


[spoiler=Personality]
Being legally blind doesn't mean you can't have fun, and Apo lives his life by that motto.  Although, other pokemon don't appreciate it much when whenever you bump into them, they get a little nibble.  Apo loves to interact with others, and he loves seeing how others see the world.  However, don't make fun of him too much or you'll make a feisty enemy out of him.  Besides making friends, Apo loves having rivals to motivate him to being stronger.  Although at this moment, he has been too friendly to make any!  He is also terrified of fairies, with good reason.  The aura around a fairy type pokemon makes his skin crawl, or burn even depending on how close they are.

 

When it comes to his abilities as a fighter, Apo is very Modest.  He never really boasts or brags about his skills, mostly because he misses attacks more often than he should.  This doesn't keep Apo from getting into scraps with intruders though, and he defends his friends with ferocity.  It's hard to take him seriously though when he's constantly tripping over objects.  

 


[spoiler=Biography]
Apo wasn't born in the White Forest, but instead, he was left there at one month of age, along with a dread plate with a note saying to take care of this precious child.  Apo can faintly remember the sound of not one, but three of his mother's voices.  He cherishes that memory and has since devoted his time to getting stronger so that he can one day meet his mother.  Growing up in the White Forest was peaceful, and Apo never really had to worry about much besides running into the occasional tree or stump here and there.  His eyesight was non-existent, but his sense of taste made him an excellent candidate for Village Food Tester.  His job in the forest was to make sure that all the food gathered was edible.  Apo never got sick when he ate bad food, and this also helped dispose of some of the food that would otherwise go uneaten.  It also helped prevent Apo from going on food rampages that would rival a Snorlax's 

 

Apo has never stepped foot outside of the White Forest alone, although he's tried many times.  He's mostly afraid of not being able to find his way back to the village, and losing all that he's gained since living there.  So instead, he likes to protect the village from the inside.  He mostly got strong by overcoming sparring mates in the village, and never the wild Pokemon that dwelled outside.  Apo has hopes that he'll be strong enough one day to earn his vision, but until then, he'll stay in White Forest with his friends.

[spoiler=Personality]
Jewel is a poke-pleaser.  She does whatever she can to gain the approval of her peers and friends.  However, half way into doing something great, she always manages to mess up.  Even the most simplest of tasks is quite easy for her to goof up.  Even though this is almost always the case, Jewel still tries hard to help around the village the best she can.  She'd never be defeated that easily.  Jewel is also jealous of pokemon that can fly, seeing as she can only glide from place to place, but her parents always had told her that she would one day fly, after she got over her fear of failure that is.
 
Jewel is also one of the sweetest pokemon you would have ever met.  She doesn't care too much for bickering or violence, and would rather settle issues down with words.  As a matter of fact, she's completely and totally afraid to fight.  Seeing as how she always fails at tasks she tries to accomplish, she would be seriously injured in battle.  Jewel is also a very intelligent pokemon, rather than study at the dojo, she studies at the pokeschool in White Forest. 

 

[spoiler=Biography]

Jewel was raised in White Forest by two of the sole remaining Archeops of White Forest.  The place had been a sanctuary for pokemon over the millenia, and that included some rare extinct species of pokemon.  Jewel's parent's died of old age after she had turned one year of age, and she is the only remaining archen in White Forest now.  While they raised her, Jewel was sheltered for most of her life, she was thought to be precious to a fault.  Her parents schooled her in the nest, and Jewel came to be curious about the rest of the world and it's inhabitants.  She had yet to truly experience life from the comfort of home.  When her parent's passed away, Jewel inherited the nest to use as she pleased, but it was hard for her to get to it after leaving due to it being so high above ground. 
 
With her parent's wings not restricting her any further, Jewel explored the place she hadn't ever truly gotten to see and she loved every bit of it.  White Forest had truly become her home, and she loved the freedom she acquired, although she hated feeling this way.  Jewel one day hopes to join the Sky Patrol, the Border Patrol that operates the space above White Forest.  However, she first has to be able to fly.

I'll admit that some areas are lacking, but I don't have much to pull from...hopefully, this is done.

"Um...I'm sorry...?"



Personality Information
Name: Neos
Species: Ditto
Gender: Genderless/Masculine (Him/He/His)
Age: 4 years
[spoiler=Appearance]ditto_by_dfreyes-d57pynv.png
From an outward appearance, there's no real difference between him and most Ditto.

[spoiler=Personality]While he looks like an average Ditto, Neos certainly doesn't act like one. For starts, he's got a firm sense of gender, even going as far as gender-bending any female forms he takes on to make them male instead. Now, he has nothing against the female form, but he always felt that it was just wrong for him to take such an appearance as his own. He's relatively-skittish, not exactly one that likes to partake in battle and prefers to avoid them if he could help it, which plays a huge part in the discrepancy between his age and his 'level'.

 

Despite the need to flee from battle, he's actually a sweet Pokemon with a short fuse at being referred to as an 'it', sometimes taking on his Pidgey form if only to slam the form's sharp and hard beak into another being's skull over the 'insult'. This trigger is probably the one way to get him to fight someone when he's not cornered and he displays a scary amount of creativity in combat when he does.

[spoiler=Biography]Neos hasn't really had an eventful story thus far. Though the first I should mention is the fact that he's not from the White Forest. In fact, he's actually a lone traveling Ditto that has had difficulty settling in one place for very long before coming to the Forest. He's never really questioned why he's never really had parents, though he and his 'twin', Gemini have gone differing directions in their individual journeys. He fast figured out the Pidgey for after turning two ears of age, which allowed him to travel in a faster way than he was used to, though he has put the form to great use since.

 

Once he was here among the Forest, however, he's kept himself useful as an 'eye-in-the-sky' with his Pidgey form, using it to watch out for anything that may endanger the place before such dangers can even come close enough for the border patrols to be forced to deal with them, so that the groups can focus on making it look like nothing was at certain places instead of having to waste energy fighting.


Combat Information:
Level: 15
Ability: Imposter
Held Item: Quick Powder, which he actually holds a bag of the blue powder within himself
Moves: Transform[spoiler=Fighting Style]Actually, he has a relatively-low level for his age because of the fact that he would often avoid fighting if he could, instead taking on whatever nearby form would best be suited for escape and bolting. Most good Ditto, however, eventually learn how to take on one or more 'remembered' forms instead, which helps the Ditto when there's nothing else to Transform into. So far, he only has one and it's not suited for combat as much as it is for travel, information gathering and making fast escapes.
