[fancypost borderwidth=0px; text-shadow:0px 0px 5px black; letter-spacing:1px][justify][sub]It's been years since Pokemon Trainers once all roamed over the world, helping scientist do research about Pokemon, discovering new Pokemon, and just having a lot of fun with it. But, this fun stopped a little bit after Team Flare was stopped in Kalos, a new evil team came out to be. The name of it? The Shadow Society. The Shadow Society was founded by a women named Constance O'Connor, otherwise known as Mrs. X, with a plan to just get rid of the fun Pokemon brought us forever, along with taking over the world.
They succeeded.
They took over the world and reshaped it to their own likings. Cities stand on stilt over the forests, their roads and buildings leaving the forests below in eternal shadow. Train tracks and highways stand above old travel routes and the most memorable site have been tarnished by pollution, like Lake Garyados, or ripped up for mining, as Mt Moon has been, to find the lustrous silver ore that they insists on building their cities out of.
Pokemon trainers are almost extinct. It’s more profitable for parent to send their child to an academy and then buy a Pokemon bred to be of use in the city maintenance and jobs than to give them a companion to bond with through travel. The wild Pokemon have hidden away from humanity, and with the Pokedex completed, there’s not real use for some of them anyway.
Gym leaders don't even exist anymore, and Pokemon Centers are quite scarce. Pokeballs are rarely ever even used anymore, the factor in Kalos is going bankrupt.
Most Pokemon you see nowadays are electric, water, steel, normal, psychic or poison type. Any other types of Pokemon, you need a special pass, called the Poke-Pass for, to show that you are allowed to have that Pokemon type. If you don't have a pass, but you have a Pokemon of that type and you get caught.. You will have your Pokemon taken away.
The Shadow Society punishes people who try to rebel against them, and change the world back to normal. People are terrified of them, because of what they can do. They are ruthless, and certainly not afraid to kill a person, or a Pokemon, which is how they get their way to the top.
Though there is small hope in a few trainers that still roam around from city to city, looking with dismay at how the world that they were hoping to grow up and be able to explore turned out like, and how their dreams of becoming the next champion were ruined, oh so quickly by the Shadow Society. Maybe they can put an end to this.
The world that we used to know is gone, and the world as we know it needs to change.
[b]RULES
- you don't have to be like super advanced and write like twenty million paragraphs or anything, but i do ask that you do have basic roleplaying skills, as in using the correct grammar, quotation marks if needed, the correct capitialization and what not.
- no legendary pokemon are allowed to be on your team. if a lot of people want legendary pokemon they maybe i'll find a way to incorperate them into the roleplay but for now they're not allowed.
- you gotta make a boy and a girl character. it keeps the gender ratio even and its just easier to make everyone make two characters rather than hope to Acreus that someone is gonna make a boy when you have fifteen girls and two boys.
- ask me before you go out with anything huge, like having the shadow society find everyone and such. while i probably will say yes, i do plan on making sure there is infinite amounts of drama involving our newly created bad guy team for everyone to go and roll with.
- you ARE allowed to have pokemon of a different kind other than the ones that are allowed without the pokepass in the roleplay. in fact it's encouraged, and its up to you whether or not they have the pokepass with them or not or if they're hiding the pokemon from the shadow society and refuse to give it to the man.
- try to make your characters be around the ages of 15-19. i honestly can't see anyone younger than 15 going and stopping them or getting into any of this trouble that the characters will be getting into, and most people over 19 would probably of given up on the world being different or maybe think that the new way the shadow society has provided them is just the way to go now.
- you have to ask me for permission before you decided to get a shiny pokemon. shinies are rare so i wont let everyone have one, and honestly i feel like shinies can take away from the roleplay in general at times?? like i love them but they sometimes steal the spotlight. just ask me though in your form or something if you can have a shiny and i might just approve. c:
- romance is allowed and is even encouraged. romance makes the world go 'round and i mean i feel like it can spice up the rp some. just remember though, there is a plot and if you simply stick off from the plot and only care about the romance then you will get a warning.
- don't ignore anyone in the roleplay. it's just rude and i want everyone to have a good time. also i changed my mind. instead of putting pikachu go in the other section of the forum, put be free butterfree in it.
- have fun!

XANDER && BENJAMIN && KINGSTON
"Weep, little lion man, you're not as BRAVE as you were at the START."
Full Name;;"It's Xander Benjamin Kingston, but you better just call me Xander."
Age;; "Eighteen years old."
Gender;; "Male."
Personality;; Xander is a little cold to anyone he first meets. People often describe him as quiet and sometimes unforgiving, but that's just on the outside. To everyone else he can be nice, welcoming, and even charming. He's very sarcastic and witty once you get to know him, but it's hard to break through that shell. When it comes to flirting and such, he's known for never jumping in or doing anything about it, and would much rather just admire her from a distance instead of walking over to her and flirting. Overall he's very quiet but when you get to know him you might be able to break through and see the colors that are inside.
Brief History;; Xander has always been ashamed of his past. He was born the son of the leader of the Shadow Society as well as of a very respectable ex. champion in the Sinnoh Region. He was taught to love pokemon by his father, while his mother told him that his father was just feeding his head with lies. His parents eventually split and his mother got married to someone else while he stayed with his dad, who was heartbroken over the loss of the women he loved, despite them having very different opinions. When everything started to go down with the Shadow Society Xander was disgusted to of been the son of her, and was even more disgusted when she asked him to join the Shadow Society and help her create something new, something he declined. He now goes around the cities and tears down Shadow Society posters and such, looking around at the terrible place his mother had created.

Raven's life used to be wonderful. She lived in a small apartment in Goldenrod City with her older brother, Xavier, and their parents. Everything had been fine until the Shadow Society took over. Her life started to crumble when her mother had gotten sick.

Shortly after this encounter, her mother passed away. The next thing that was ripped from her life was her brother and her father, who got forced to serve the new masterminds of the world, leaving her alone in a crumbling old apartment building that was slowly falling into ruins. Now she simply hides along the streets of all of the regions, going where she pleases and causing as much mischief as possible when there.
