He looks at the girl as he runs by, not caring much about what was going to become of her. And had succesfully gotten the Meowth to the hospital before it had fainted.
2nd Story-Response- Aquis sends out his pidgeotto knowing it has fought hard, and continue to be proven usefull. He sends out the Pideotte regardless of it growing weary, remmember, he finds most pokemon as tools.
3rd Story-Response- Aquis says, sure why not, and says "let me say goodbye first", he lets Drizzy out of the pokeball, and whispers to him quietly. All of a sudden Drizzy uses Water Gun to push the Pokeball out of the trainers hand. Aquis dives for it frantic, wanting the pokemon inside. He then has Drizzy Tackle the Trainer down to the ground, and allows himself to grab the Pokeball they were fighting for. He puts it in his pack and grins. Returning Drizzle to his pokeball, he then grins at the trainer and says "Thanks Chump".

Character Name: Kor Hunter Gender: ♂ Age:28 Backstory: A member of Team Rocket. Kor was down on his luck when we decided to join Team Rocket. He had nothing to his name but his one friend, Boris the Bulbasaur. He did mostly menial tasks for Rocket, never getting any field work. When he did finally get field work, he was lent Pokemon from the Rocket armory. He used these powerful Pokemon to commit crimes, and he started to like it. He didn't care about any Pokemon that weren't his own. He caught and sold Pokemon efficiently. He enjoys his work, and he plans to be a Rocket for as long as he is able.
Recently he was sent to Pallet for a small-time heist on the Pokemon Lab, with only his Bulbasaur. That was when everything went down. He went into hiding in the tree line until the coast was clear.

You are running as fast as you can to get to the pokemon center, your sick meowth pants heavily in your arms. You know if you do not make it soon the poor thing may not make it. At that moment, you hear a shriek. Turning to your right you see a small girl, overshadowed by a menacing Arbok. You have no pokemon that are fit for battle, but if you don't do something, the child will almost certainly be lunch. You give a worried glance down at your meowth, and then back at the scene unfolding before you.... you have a choice to make, and you have to make it now.
Kor looked at the Arbok, then to the gil, then to the Meowth. He didn't much care for the Meowth, it was a loaner from the armory, but returning a dead Pokemon was bad for promotion prospects. He didn't much care for the girl, she was weak. Why was she out here without Pokemon? But that Arbok...It was indeed very menacing. Perhaps an Arbok that imposing would be good for the Armory. Kor lied the Meowth on the ground and and sent out Boris and loaned Machoke. "Get'em boys! Take that Arbok down!" Boris ran forward to tackle the Arbok, the Machoke ran forward with it's arm held high for a Karate Chop. Both attacks land on the preoccupied Arbok. Before it could turn to retaliate Kor launched an Ultra Ball at it. It wobbled a bit, but was soon securely caught. Kor grinned as he picked up the filled Ultra Ball, then turns to the girl. He looks her over: No Pokeballs. "Beat it, kid, or you're next". Her expression changed from the joyed smile of salvation, into a sullen look as she ran off.
You grunt with frustration as you return your beaten and bruised beedrill to its pokeball. How in the world your opponents sandslash is that powerful, you have no idea. You only have two pokemon remaining. Your starter, who is only in it's second form, and your pidgeotto, who has already had a hard day of battles. Who do you go with now?
Kor looked up with a devious grin, "Why choose?". He sends out Boris and the loaned Pidgeotto with a smirk. "Hey! That's cheating" his opponent calls out. "I'm a Rocket, kid. This isn't some designated official match. I don't have to play by the rules! Boris, Vine Whip! Pidgeotto, hit it with a Wing Attack!" The two Pokemon rush out in tandem and strike the Sandslash, unable to dodge either attack. Weakened, the Sandslash collapses. The opponent returns his Sandslash, "I'm calling the police!", he yells. "You wouldn't dare, you punk. Fork over the cash before I turn my Pokemon on you!". The opponent throws some cash to the ground before running off. "Another day, another PokeDollar". He grabs up the cash with a grin, and counts it as he walks away.
The trade being offered to you is more than generous. Not only is what they're offering shiny, but it is the perfect type you need to fill your party out. But... is it really worth your starter? After all you have been through, the countless adventures you have shared, will you forfeit all of that for the perfect team combination? You step up to trade machine, sweaty palms, now is the moment of truth...
Kor grins wickedly as a thought crosses his mind. "Sounds like a sweet deal, man. Let me just say goodbye to my Bulbasaur". The trader nods and turns away, pokeball in hand. Kor releases Boris, "Nab it!" he says quickly, pointing at the Pokeball. Boris lashed out a vine whip to grapple onto the pokeball. The trader held on tight "Hey! What gives!", he yells. "Kor pulls hit Rocket Cap from his pack and places it on his head, "Why, you give, of course. On behalf of Team Rocket, I accept this cheritable donation!". Kor lunges forward and punches the trader in the stomach, loosing his grip enough for Boris to pull it away. Kor takes the Pokeball and returns Boris before running off and out of sight.

HexKor- You know you are in for trouble when your first accepted player is a villain O.o Still, nicely written RP responses, be proud to be the first player on PL!
DEFERRED:
Morticour- It's nothing against you, honestly (LARPers unite!) However, for the sake of fairness to all applicants, I will have to ask for a bit more length on the IC responses. Just fix that up and repost, and you should be good to go!
A bit of a note, I am waiting to build up a base of accepted players (preferably 10-15) before I announce a specific opening date and time for the server. Looking at getting an Enjin forum going as well, which will be added to the OP as soon as it is available.

You give a worried glance down at your meowth, and then back at the scene unfolding before you.... you have a choice to make, and you have to make it now.
The trainer gently puts down his meowth, touching his meowth, hoping neither him nor his companion meet their last day. The trainer knows the little girl wont stand a chance. Quickly he runs toward the arbok, yelling at the top of his lungs, quickly the Arbok turns to him, ready to meet whatever threat approaches it. The trainer stops and yells for the girl to run, the girl nods and makes her way to town, as the trainer watches her run, the arbok lunges, blindsiding him with a painful bite. The trainer falls, witnessing the large pokemon over him. Before he could think, his meowth attacks the arbok and leads it away from him. The trainers vision begins to grow dark as he watches the arbok kill his sick meowth in the distance... Then, his vision fades, only hearing the distinct sound of the meowths last painful cries.. Then silence as the trainer fades away...
You grunt with frustration as you return your beaten and bruised beedrill to its pokeball. How in the world your opponents sandslash is that powerful, you have no idea. You only have two pokemon remaining. Your starter, who is only in it's second form, and your pidgeotto, who has already had a hard day of battles. Who do you go with now?
Trainer looks at his pokeball containing his pidgeotto, hes think quickly. Trainer puts away the pokeball and retrieves another one, this one had rigid edges and a small dent on its right side. He throws the pokeball, summoning a Bayleaf before him, he smirks and calls for his pokemon, commanding a razor leaf against the sandslash. the Bayleaf runs around the sandslash and propells a volley of razor leaves toward its enemies. Sandslash take many hits before regaining its ground, jumping above the bayleaf, the Sanslash falls upon the bayleaf with a critical slash, nearly taking out the bayleaf in one hit. Trainer calls out the bayleaf and tell it to use solar beam. Knowing that this attack could take him out, the opposing trainer screams out "Use Skullbash!" The sandslash quickly accepts the order, charging toward the bayleaf. Trainer smiles and commands the bayleaf to doge the attack; mid-charge of its solar beam. The sanslash stumbles past the bayleaf as it gets around him. The bayleaf then unleashed its beam in a blinding spectacle.

You step up to trade machine, sweaty palms, now is the moment of truth...
Trainer looks down at the pokeball, he begins to feel a depressed suppression on his mind. Follwing his guilt, trainer grabs the pokeball and tells his recipient. "Look.. I could never part with this guy, he stuck it out with me through thick and thin, ill never give upa friend.." He looks up and continues. "I will find another pokemon who will complete my team, I cant have a team without him, he is very dear to me..." The other trainer looks down at him with a strong sense of apathy, nods and smiles. The other trainer grabs his pokeball and walks away.

Character Name: Jacob Pine
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Backstory:
Jacob is a smart boy. He knows as much as a new trainer could about Pokemon. His Dad researched Pokemon for a living but wasnt very well known so his mother had to get a job to keep the upkeep going. She worked in the local PokeMart and didn't make too much money. As part of Jacob's father's research he was required to go to Pallet Town to gather some info on 'Weaker Pokemon'. But once he got there, he couldn't back. People wouldn't let him leave saying 'Its too dangerous to leave now!' or something like that. Jacob had no idea what was going on but the only memory of his parents is his Pokemon, Squirtle. (if you would rather me not have this Pokemon id happily subsitute it for something else) Now Jacob wants to finish his fathers dream of becoming a famous Pokemon professor.

Jacob knowing that Arbok would be using a poison attack looked through quickly his bag and found his steel plates that he used for a Pokemon feeder. Jacob quickly but carefully placed the Meowth down and ran towards the girl with the plates and as the Arbork went in for a bite he protected her with his plates. While the Arbork was trying to figure what just happened Jacob threw the plate at its head putting it into a daze but not killing it. Jacob grabbed the girls hand and the Mewoth and ran to the Pokemon center.
You grunt with frustration as you return your beaten and bruised beedrill to its pokeball. How in the world your opponents sandslash is that powerful, you have no idea.

Jacob knew the obvious choice to go with was his Pidgeotto. His Pidgeotto may of had a hard day of fighting but he knew the Sandshrew would have trouble attacking a Pokemon that was in the air! But the Pidgeotto still had to attack somehow. So Jacob would get his Pokemon to get close to the ground and then quickly fly up before the sandshrew could attack and then hit it from behind.

Jacob knew how rare this Pokemon was but his starter!? This Pokemon may have been the rarest thing he has ever seen but his starter was the only thing he had left from his parents. He puts the pokeball up to the trading machine than says,
"No. I can't do it. Listen i'm sorry but this Pokemon is all I have left from my parents!"
The trader replies,
"So you wasted my time is what your saying! I need your Pokemon and I will get it this way or another!"
Jacob realised what he was implying so he ran as fast as he could to the closest police station to stay away from the criminal.

Character Name: Cecilia D'arcy
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Backstory (please keep it in Kanto/Johto, and be sure your backstory concludes with your character arriving at Pallet Town. Also in no circumstances are you to include characters from the Anime and or Manga in your backstory. Also note that you get one starter pokemon when you join the server, so if you decide to give yourself a party of 6 OP pokemon in your backstory you probably won't be accepted.):
Cecilias parents divorced at the age of 7. Her father was an architect, and once he left her mother he moved to an unknown location to work on a huge project, which was supposedly going to earn him thousands. He was the one who had brought money to the family, and his absence brought hardship to Cecilias Mother. As Cecilia was still quite young, she was dismissed of any worries her mother had, money wise.
Her mother found herself a job in the infamous Goldenrod Department store.Cecilia had always lived in Goldenrod, she was born there as well, but her mother had never worked, and now her mother would be absent from home from day to night, leaving Cecilia to her friends and the task of amusing herself.
Cecilia amused herself by watching a certain channel on the television set at home. Each episode brought by a new place, and a new pokemon. Sometimes Pokemon were watched and documented, other times pokemon battles and trainers were documented. This way Cecilia learnt about many different pokemon, and about the harsh world of pokemon battles. At the time, she found these battles harsh and hard to watch, but soon she became interested in it, and started watching with more content.
At the age of 12, Cecilias best friend Amy got her very first pokemon. She received a rattata, which wasn't anything special, but yet a special bond was formed between Amy and her pokemon. Cecilia wanted a pokemon as well, and she started day dreaming of a great adventure with her pokemon. She began to lose her concentration at school, and her teacher notified her mother. Her mother quizzed Cecilia for a reason, and Cecilia answered by telling her mother of her wish. Her mother only scolded her and told her to concentrate more at school, and perhaps, if her grades improved, Cecilia would be given a pokemon.
So, with her mothers promise in mind, Cecilias grades improved. Then, on her 13 birthday, she received a letter from her father:
"My sweet little Cecilia, As I have heard you've been hoping for a friend of your own, I set out to look for one. My friend just happened to have the most adorable pokemon I've ever laid my eyes on. He's perfect for you. He's as energetic and jumpy as you, but he is very strong and always tries him best, just like you. I've sent him to you as a gift. Know that I love you, and that you truly aren't that little any more. Take care, Dad."
Her father had sent her a pokeball, which she received by PokeMail. (dont quite remember the name) It was the first time she had ever met a Evee. She knew about Evee a bit, but meeting one live was different, especially when it was her very own.
Years flew by, and by now Cecilia was 17. She truly loved her pokemon, and she knew Evee felt the same way torwards her. They had trained together, had fun together, been silly, well, you get the idea. Done alot. They had each others backs for support, and most things they did together. She kept Evees pokeball by her side all the time, and walked around town with her pink cap, white tee with a black vest, blue shorts, and brown hair tied up, looking for new things and pokemon. But it was time for her to travel.
Her mother earned just enough to feed the both of them, and Evee, but Cecilia knew leaving would relieve her mother from the stress. She had earned money herself from working at the Goldenrod City Radio tower, but she would use that for her own travels.
So she set out, packed some stuff she needed in her bag, kissed her mother on the cheek goodbye and left.
Her first stop was Pallet Town.

You give a worried glance down at your meowth, and then back at the scene unfolding before you.... you have a choice to make, and you have to make it now.
Cecilias eyes tear up and she wipes at them as she stops in her tracks. Panicked, butterflies invade her stomach as she glances at the giant Arbok swaying over the small girl. She swears at the pokemon, who seems agitated at the girl. Clutching meowth in her hands, she scoops up mud into her hand and weighs it. She tries to release herself from the butterflies in her stomach with a deep breath, and then she starts running torwards Arbok. She flings the mud at Arbok, hitting it right between its eyes. Relief and joy fill her mind, but she knows that it won't last long. She grabs the girl by the arm and starts racing in the direction of the pokemon centre. The small girl tries her best to keep up, but her small legs could't run as quick and were frozen from fear. Then a spine chilling thought occurs to Cecilia. What if Arbok didn't need it's eyes to see? What an Idiot she was! But fear of the snake made her legs pump faster and gave her the energy. She was relieved as she collapsed through the pokemon centres doors, but exhausted as well. Her breathing hurt and her legs buckled under her weight. her eye sight became blurred, but she saw meowth and the little girl wheeled off to safety before a nurse crouched down next to her and she blacked out.
You grunt with frustration as you return your beaten and bruised beedrill to its pokeball. How in the world your opponents sandslash is that powerful, you have no idea. You only have two pokemon remaining. Your starter, who is only in it's second form, and your pidgeotto, who has already had a hard day of battles. Who do you go with now?
Cecilia Grabs the pokeball that rests at the side of her thigh and calls out Evee. She couldn't bring pidgeotto out, after bringing her into a state like that. She deserved the rest. She breathes out, pats the other pokeballs around her waist, and continues the battle.
The trade being offered to you is more than generous. Not only is what they're offering shiny, but it is the perfect type you need to fill your party out. But... is it really worth your starter? After all you have been through, the countless adventures you have shared, will you forfeit all of that for the perfect team combination? You step up to trade machine, sweaty palms, now is the moment of truth...
Cecilia kicks the machine, regretting the decision afterwards, hopping around on one foot clutching her toes. She swears a bit out loud, but composes herself after a fit of pain and childish behaviour. This was a generous offer, but she should have backed down right from the beginning. She found the idea of parting with Evee unbearable. All those memories and moments given away, only for a new, unknown and unfamiliar pokemon? A stranger? Why did she even wait until this moment to decline? She grabs hold of the pokeball resting on the side of her thigh, and shakes her head. No trainer should give away a bond that special. It was the same with family. And family stick together.

So, As you can see, I switched to Evee. <3 SO MANY FORMS
Will be review apps in a few hours, but they are looking good!
A note though: For those who have NOT checked out the Pixelmon mod, there are currently a little over 100 pokemon in the mod.... most of them being gen 1. Upon browsing I saw one trainer with a Snivy and one with a Bayleaf.
Upon logging into a pixelmon world for the first time, it presents you with four options for a starter. Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmader, and Eevee. If you want to include other pokemon that are not in the mod in backstories, go for it! Though a few of you may want to do a quick looksie and make sure everything falls into place. May be a bit odd for you to have a different starter than what your backstory says you have.
Keep dem apps rolling everybody! We are looking good now!
Roleplay Experience: Not to high, but I understand the basics, and the simple rules of it.
Pokemon/Pixelmon Experience: I have played pokemon almost my entire life, I still remember watching the first episode of the anime, my first starter pokemon on Firered...I use to have a gen 1 Charizard card even, too bad it didn't last long.
I do not have too much pixelmon experience but I watched many tutorials of it, and was even testing it out earlier, A Gyrados can get absolutely huge.

Character Name: Rick (Last name?: MoonWatcher)[why not? =p]
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Backstory: Rick was a quiet trainer, he did not talk to many too often, but he understood many things others would not. He normally only had two pokemon with him at a time, he had his Charmander whom he did not name, for he thought they were silly. His other pokemon was a Gyrados, he raised it before it evolved, the only reason he kept it was because it was resistant and would not leave him alone easily. Rick had no path to defeating all that is evil, or taking out anyone who wished to hurt him. He was more of a stranger to all, he mearly wondered the land until he could find a place which he could relax and enjoy his own personal time. He went to many towns, but none of them where right for him, eventually he started traveling to Pallet Town, but along the way he was knocked down by a strong wind, the pokeball which contained his Gyrados was knocked off his belt, and rolled off of the cliff beside him. He knew this was not right, so he ran too Pallet Town which happen to be only 1/4 a mile away...

What town are you from? "P-Pallet Town" I haven't been there yet, show me the way, and I will take you back, or we can wait for this Arbok to regain it's energy and attack us... *Rick then goes back, picks up his Meowth, and follows the girl to the new town*

GO!" *Rick lets out a small smile* "Wh-What?" *The Charmleon jumps straight up in the air and looks below, the Sandslash has come out below it* Rick Commands with a low voice: Use dragon rage. *The Charmealeon used dragon rage directly at the Sandslash which was going straight up towards it* "NO!" *The charmeleon lands in front of Rick unharmed, the Sandslash lands infront of the trainer Knocked out*
The trade being offered to you is more than generous. Not only is what they're offering shiny, but it is the perfect type you need to fill your party out. But... is it really worth your starter? After all you have been through, the countless adventures you have shared, will you forfeit all of that for the perfect team combination? You step up to trade machine, sweaty palms, now is the moment of truth..*Rick stops at the machine and looks at the pokeball he now has in his hand* Why would I trade you for anything?...*Rick then looks at the machine shakes his head, and walks away*(Very difficult for me to work with this because 'I' would never trade my pokemon)
Roleplay Experience: Not to high, but I understand the basics, and the simple rules of it.
Pokemon/Pixelmon Experience: I have played pokemon almost my entire life, I still remember watching the first episode of the anime, my first starter pokemon on Firered...I use to have a gen 1 Charizard card even, too bad it didn't last long.
I do not have too much pixelmon experience but I watched many tutorials of it, and was even testing it out earlier, A Gyrados can get absolutely huge.
IN GAME INFORMATION
Character Name: Rick (Last name?: MoonWatcher)[why not? =p]
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Backstory: Rick was a quiet trainer, he did not talk to many too often, but he understood many things others would not. He normally only had two pokemon with him at a time, he had his Charmander whom he did not name, for he thought they were silly. His other pokemon was a Gyrados, he raised it before it evolved, the only reason he kept it was because it was resistant and would not leave him alone easily. Rick had no path to defeating all that is evil, or taking out anyone who wished to hurt him. He was more of a stranger to all, he mearly wondered the land until he could find a place which he could relax and enjoy his own personal time. He went to many towns, but none of them where right for him, eventually he started traveling to Pallet Town, but along the way he was knocked down by a strong wind, the pokeball which contained his Gyrados was knocked off his belt, and rolled off of the cliff beside him. He knew this was not right, so he ran too Pallet Town which happen to be only 1/4 a mile away...

You are running as fast as you can to get to the pokemon center, your sick meowth pants heavily in your arms. You know if you do not make it soon the poor thing may not make it. At that moment, you hear a shriek. Turning to your right you see a small girl, overshadowed by a menacing Arbok. You have no pokemon that are fit for battle, but if you don't do something, the child will almost certainly be lunch. You give a worried glance down at your meowth, and then back at the scene unfolding before you.... you have a choice to make, and you have to make it now *Rick puts his Meowth beside the tree that was next to him very quietly to avoid detection.* *Rick starts dashing forward to the Arbok as fast as he can and attempts too 'tackle' it from the middle of it's length* Upon doing so Rick stood back up. *Rick looks at the Arbok and sizes it up* Rick speaks towards the girl You, young girl. *The child looks up in slight terror and says* "Ye- yes?" What town are you from? "P-Pallet Town" I haven't been there yet, show me the way, and I will take you back, or we can wait for this Arbok to regain it's energy and attack us... *Rick then goes back, picks up his Meowth, and follows the girl to the new town*
You grunt with frustration as you return your beaten and bruised beedrill to its pokeball. How in the world your opponents sandslash is that powerful, you have no idea. You only have two pokemon remaining. Your starter, who is only in it's second form, and your pidgeotto, who has already had a hard day of battles. Who do you go with now? *Rick sends out his Charmleon* "You sent out that pokemon?

YESSSS RIIIICK i didnt know if you liked Pokemon BUT YESSS im happy to see you here !
Rohirio- That darned Arbok, all the feels,bro. Seriously though, nice app. However, please refer to my statement above about available starters, as Chikorita is not in the mod at this point in time. You are accepted, but I advise revising the backstory if at all possible.
origamikiller- I enjoyed your back story very much! Gives me a lot of potential things to work with *rubs hands together menacingly.* Welcome to Pixelmon Legacy!
Diamond_daisy- Accepted, with a few conditions. I can provide you with a poliwag as your starter, but you would have to forfeit the given starter the mod provides. If you do not want to do that then all I ask is that you slightly alter your backstory to fit the options you are given when you first log in. Other than that, congratz on being the first accepted female! One of the best apps to be posted yet, in my opinion!
Rick_MoonWatcher- You can't start the game with a Gyr- oh, I see what you did there! Just kidding, nice app welcome to the server! DEFERRED
Riptide1999- Good app, but I cannot allow Dratini as a starter, sorry. If you want something other than what the mod provides at login (Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, or Eevee) you may talk to me about it, but dratinni is too rare to allow. Change that bit and repost and we will be good to go.

He looks at the girl as he runs by, not caring much about what was going to become of her. And had succesfully gotten the Meowth to the hospital before it had fainted.
2nd Story-Response- Aquis sends out his pidgeotto knowing it has fought hard, and continue to be proven usefull. He sends out the Pideotte regardless of it growing weary, remmember, he finds most pokemon as tools.

All of a sudden Drizzy uses Water Gun to push the Pokeball out of the trainers hand. Aquis dives for it frantic, wanting the pokemon inside. He then has Drizzy Tackle the Trainer down to the ground, and allows himself to grab the Pokeball they were fighting for. He puts it in his pack and grins. Returning Drizzle to his pokeball, he then grins at the trainer and says "Thanks Chump".

Character Name: Kor Hunter
Gender: ♂
Age:28
Backstory: A member of Team Rocket. Kor was down on his luck when we decided to join Team Rocket. He had nothing to his name but his one friend, Boris the Bulbasaur. He did mostly menial tasks for Rocket, never getting any field work. When he did finally get field work, he was lent Pokemon from the Rocket armory. He used these powerful Pokemon to commit crimes, and he started to like it. He didn't care about any Pokemon that weren't his own. He caught and sold Pokemon efficiently. He enjoys his work, and he plans to be a Rocket for as long as he is able.
Recently he was sent to Pallet for a small-time heist on the Pokemon Lab, with only his Bulbasaur. That was when everything went down. He went into hiding in the tree line until the coast was clear.

You give a worried glance down at your meowth, and then back at the scene unfolding before you.... you have a choice to make, and you have to make it now.
Kor looked at the Arbok, then to the gil, then to the Meowth. He didn't much care for the Meowth, it was a loaner from the armory, but returning a dead Pokemon was bad for promotion prospects. He didn't much care for the girl, she was weak. Why was she out here without Pokemon? But that Arbok...It was indeed very menacing. Perhaps an Arbok that imposing would be good for the Armory. Kor lied the Meowth on the ground and and sent out Boris and loaned Machoke. "Get'em boys! Take that Arbok down!" Boris ran forward to tackle the Arbok, the Machoke ran forward with it's arm held high for a Karate Chop. Both attacks land on the preoccupied Arbok. Before it could turn to retaliate Kor launched an Ultra Ball at it. It wobbled a bit, but was soon securely caught. Kor grinned as he picked up the filled Ultra Ball, then turns to the girl. He looks her over: No Pokeballs. "Beat it, kid, or you're next". Her expression changed from the joyed smile of salvation, into a sullen look as she ran off.
You grunt with frustration as you return your beaten and bruised beedrill to its pokeball. How in the world your opponents sandslash is that powerful, you have no idea. You only have two pokemon remaining. Your starter, who is only in it's second form, and your pidgeotto, who has already had a hard day of battles. Who do you go with now?
Kor looked up with a devious grin, "Why choose?". He sends out Boris and the loaned Pidgeotto with a smirk. "Hey! That's cheating" his opponent calls out. "I'm a Rocket, kid. This isn't some designated official match. I don't have to play by the rules! Boris, Vine Whip! Pidgeotto, hit it with a Wing Attack!" The two Pokemon rush out in tandem and strike the Sandslash, unable to dodge either attack. Weakened, the Sandslash collapses. The opponent returns his Sandslash, "I'm calling the police!", he yells. "You wouldn't dare, you punk. Fork over the cash before I turn my Pokemon on you!". The opponent throws some cash to the ground before running off. "Another day, another PokeDollar". He grabs up the cash with a grin, and counts it as he walks away.
The trade being offered to you is more than generous. Not only is what they're offering shiny, but it is the perfect type you need to fill your party out. But... is it really worth your starter? After all you have been through, the countless adventures you have shared, will you forfeit all of that for the perfect team combination? You step up to trade machine, sweaty palms, now is the moment of truth...
Kor grins wickedly as a thought crosses his mind. "Sounds like a sweet deal, man. Let me just say goodbye to my Bulbasaur". The trader nods and turns away, pokeball in hand. Kor releases Boris, "Nab it!" he says quickly, pointing at the Pokeball. Boris lashed out a vine whip to grapple onto the pokeball. The trader held on tight "Hey! What gives!", he yells. "Kor pulls hit Rocket Cap from his pack and places it on his head, "Why, you give, of course. On behalf of Team Rocket, I accept this cheritable donation!". Kor lunges forward and punches the trader in the stomach, loosing his grip enough for Boris to pull it away. Kor takes the Pokeball and returns Boris before running off and out of sight.

The trainer gently puts down his meowth, touching his meowth, hoping neither him nor his companion meet their last day. The trainer knows the little girl wont stand a chance. Quickly he runs toward the arbok, yelling at the top of his lungs, quickly the Arbok turns to him, ready to meet whatever threat approaches it. The trainer stops and yells for the girl to run, the girl nods and makes her way to town, as the trainer watches her run, the arbok lunges, blindsiding him with a painful bite. The trainer falls, witnessing the large pokemon over him. Before he could think, his meowth attacks the arbok and leads it away from him. The trainers vision begins to grow dark as he watches the arbok kill his sick meowth in the distance... Then, his vision fades, only hearing the distinct sound of the meowths last painful cries.. Then silence as the trainer fades away...
You grunt with frustration as you return your beaten and bruised beedrill to its pokeball. How in the world your opponents sandslash is that powerful, you have no idea. You only have two pokemon remaining. Your starter, who is only in it's second form, and your pidgeotto, who has already had a hard day of battles. Who do you go with now?
Trainer looks at his pokeball containing his pidgeotto, hes think quickly. Trainer puts away the pokeball and retrieves another one, this one had rigid edges and a small dent on its right side. He throws the pokeball, summoning a Bayleaf before him, he smirks and calls for his pokemon, commanding a razor leaf against the sandslash. the Bayleaf runs around the sandslash and propells a volley of razor leaves toward its enemies. Sandslash take many hits before regaining its ground, jumping above the bayleaf, the Sanslash falls upon the bayleaf with a critical slash, nearly taking out the bayleaf in one hit. Trainer calls out the bayleaf and tell it to use solar beam. Knowing that this attack could take him out, the opposing trainer screams out "Use Skullbash!" The sandslash quickly accepts the order, charging toward the bayleaf. Trainer smiles and commands the bayleaf to doge the attack; mid-charge of its solar beam. The sanslash stumbles past the bayleaf as it gets around him. The bayleaf then unleashed its beam in a blinding spectacle.

Trainer looks down at the pokeball, he begins to feel a depressed suppression on his mind. Follwing his guilt, trainer grabs the pokeball and tells his recipient. "Look.. I could never part with this guy, he stuck it out with me through thick and thin, ill never give upa friend.." He looks up and continues. "I will find another pokemon who will complete my team, I cant have a team without him, he is very dear to me..." The other trainer looks down at him with a strong sense of apathy, nods and smiles. The other trainer grabs his pokeball and walks away.

Gender: Male
Age: 17
Backstory:
Jacob is a smart boy. He knows as much as a new trainer could about Pokemon. His Dad researched Pokemon for a living but wasnt very well known so his mother had to get a job to keep the upkeep going. She worked in the local PokeMart and didn't make too much money. As part of Jacob's father's research he was required to go to Pallet Town to gather some info on 'Weaker Pokemon'. But once he got there, he couldn't back. People wouldn't let him leave saying 'Its too dangerous to leave now!' or something like that. Jacob had no idea what was going on but the only memory of his parents is his Pokemon, Squirtle. (if you would rather me not have this Pokemon id happily subsitute it for something else) Now Jacob wants to finish his fathers dream of becoming a famous Pokemon professor.

Jacob knowing that Arbok would be using a poison attack looked through quickly his bag and found his steel plates that he used for a Pokemon feeder. Jacob quickly but carefully placed the Meowth down and ran towards the girl with the plates and as the Arbork went in for a bite he protected her with his plates. While the Arbork was trying to figure what just happened Jacob threw the plate at its head putting it into a daze but not killing it. Jacob grabbed the girls hand and the Mewoth and ran to the Pokemon center.
You grunt with frustration as you return your beaten and bruised beedrill to its pokeball. How in the world your opponents sandslash is that powerful, you have no idea. You only have two pokemon remaining. Your starter, who is only in it's second form, and your pidgeotto, who has already had a hard day of battles. Who do you go with now?
Jacob knew the obvious choice to go with was his Pidgeotto. His Pidgeotto may of had a hard day of fighting but he knew the Sandshrew would have trouble attacking a Pokemon that was in the air! But the Pidgeotto still had to attack somehow. So Jacob would get his Pokemon to get close to the ground and then quickly fly up before the sandshrew could attack and then hit it from behind.

You step up to trade machine, sweaty palms, now is the moment of truth...
Jacob knew how rare this Pokemon was but his starter!? This Pokemon may have been the rarest thing he has ever seen but his starter was the only thing he had left from his parents. He puts the pokeball up to the trading machine than says,
"No. I can't do it. Listen i'm sorry but this Pokemon is all I have left from my parents!"
The trader replies,
"So you wasted my time is what your saying! I need your Pokemon and I will get it this way or another!"
Jacob realised what he was implying so he ran as fast as he could to the closest police station to stay away from the criminal.

Character Name: Cecilia D'arcy
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Backstory (please keep it in Kanto/Johto, and be sure your backstory concludes with your character arriving at Pallet Town. Also in no circumstances are you to include characters from the Anime and or Manga in your backstory. Also note that you get one starter pokemon when you join the server, so if you decide to give yourself a party of 6 OP pokemon in your backstory you probably won't be accepted.):
Cecilias parents divorced at the age of 7. Her father was an architect, and once he left her mother he moved to an unknown location to work on a huge project, which was supposedly going to earn him thousands. He was the one who had brought money to the family, and his absence brought hardship to Cecilias Mother. As Cecilia was still quite young, she was dismissed of any worries her mother had, money wise.
Her mother found herself a job in the infamous Goldenrod Department store.Cecilia had always lived in Goldenrod, she was born there as well, but her mother had never worked, and now her mother would be absent from home from day to night, leaving Cecilia to her friends and the task of amusing herself.
Cecilia amused herself by watching a certain channel on the television set at home. Each episode brought by a new place, and a new pokemon. Sometimes Pokemon were watched and documented, other times pokemon battles and trainers were documented. This way Cecilia learnt about many different pokemon, and about the harsh world of pokemon battles. At the time, she found these battles harsh and hard to watch, but soon she became interested in it, and started watching with more content.
At the age of 12, Cecilias best friend Amy got her very first pokemon. She received a rattata, which wasn't anything special, but yet a special bond was formed between Amy and her pokemon. Cecilia wanted a pokemon as well, and she started day dreaming of a great adventure with her pokemon. She began to lose her concentration at school, and her teacher notified her mother. Her mother quizzed Cecilia for a reason, and Cecilia answered by telling her mother of her wish. Her mother only scolded her and told her to concentrate more at school, and perhaps, if her grades improved, Cecilia would be given a pokemon.
So, with her mothers promise in mind, Cecilias grades improved. Then, on her 13 birthday, she received a letter from her father:
"My sweet little Cecilia,
As I have heard you've been hoping for a friend of your own, I set out to look for one. My friend just happened to have the most adorable pokemon I've ever laid my eyes on. He's perfect for you. He's as energetic and jumpy as you, but he is very strong and always tries him best, just like you. I've sent him to you as a gift. Know that I love you, and that you truly aren't that little any more. Take care,
Dad."
Her father had sent her a pokeball, which she received by PokeMail. (dont quite remember the name) It was the first time she had ever met a Evee. She knew about Evee a bit, but meeting one live was different, especially when it was her very own.
Years flew by, and by now Cecilia was 17. She truly loved her pokemon, and she knew Evee felt the same way torwards her. They had trained together, had fun together, been silly, well, you get the idea. Done alot. They had each others backs for support, and most things they did together. She kept Evees pokeball by her side all the time, and walked around town with her pink cap, white tee with a black vest, blue shorts, and brown hair tied up, looking for new things and pokemon. But it was time for her to travel.
Her mother earned just enough to feed the both of them, and Evee, but Cecilia knew leaving would relieve her mother from the stress. She had earned money herself from working at the Goldenrod City Radio tower, but she would use that for her own travels.
So she set out, packed some stuff she needed in her bag, kissed her mother on the cheek goodbye and left.
Her first stop was Pallet Town.

You are running as fast as you can to get to the pokemon center, your sick meowth pants heavily in your arms. You know if you do not make it soon the poor thing may not make it. At that moment, you hear a shriek. Turning to your right you see a small girl, overshadowed by a menacing Arbok. You have no pokemon that are fit for battle, but if you don't do something, the child will almost certainly be lunch. You give a worried glance down at your meowth, and then back at the scene unfolding before you.... you have a choice to make, and you have to make it now.
Cecilias eyes tear up and she wipes at them as she stops in her tracks. Panicked, butterflies invade her stomach as she glances at the giant Arbok swaying over the small girl. She swears at the pokemon, who seems agitated at the girl. Clutching meowth in her hands, she scoops up mud into her hand and weighs it. She tries to release herself from the butterflies in her stomach with a deep breath, and then she starts running torwards Arbok. She flings the mud at Arbok, hitting it right between its eyes. Relief and joy fill her mind, but she knows that it won't last long. She grabs the girl by the arm and starts racing in the direction of the pokemon centre. The small girl tries her best to keep up, but her small legs could't run as quick and were frozen from fear. Then a spine chilling thought occurs to Cecilia. What if Arbok didn't need it's eyes to see? What an Idiot she was! But fear of the snake made her legs pump faster and gave her the energy. She was relieved as she collapsed through the pokemon centres doors, but exhausted as well. Her breathing hurt and her legs buckled under her weight. her eye sight became blurred, but she saw meowth and the little girl wheeled off to safety before a nurse crouched down next to her and she blacked out.
You grunt with frustration as you return your beaten and bruised beedrill to its pokeball. How in the world your opponents sandslash is that powerful, you have no idea. You only have two pokemon remaining. Your starter, who is only in it's second form, and your pidgeotto, who has already had a hard day of battles. Who do you go with now?
Cecilia Grabs the pokeball that rests at the side of her thigh and calls out Evee. She couldn't bring pidgeotto out, after bringing her into a state like that. She deserved the rest. She breathes out, pats the other pokeballs around her waist, and continues the battle.
The trade being offered to you is more than generous. Not only is what they're offering shiny, but it is the perfect type you need to fill your party out. But... is it really worth your starter? After all you have been through, the countless adventures you have shared, will you forfeit all of that for the perfect team combination? You step up to trade machine, sweaty palms, now is the moment of truth...
Cecilia kicks the machine, regretting the decision afterwards, hopping around on one foot clutching her toes. She swears a bit out loud, but composes herself after a fit of pain and childish behaviour. This was a generous offer, but she should have backed down right from the beginning. She found the idea of parting with Evee unbearable. All those memories and moments given away, only for a new, unknown and unfamiliar pokemon? A stranger? Why did she even wait until this moment to decline? She grabs hold of the pokeball resting on the side of her thigh, and shakes her head. No trainer should give away a bond that special. It was the same with family. And family stick together.
EXTRA CREDIT:
Define Metagaming: Using information gained out of character or OOC in game, and then using it IC. For example, talking about pokemon a stranger owns OOC, and then once you meet up with that stranger and battle you use your knowledge of their pokemon to choose the right one for battle.
Define Powergaming: Not sure. Something like; Someone dies ooc due to a creeper or something and asks you to hold their stuff but then you run away and log off so they cant get it back?
So, As you can see, I switched to Evee. <3 SO MANY FORMS
A note though: For those who have NOT checked out the Pixelmon mod, there are currently a little over 100 pokemon in the mod.... most of them being gen 1. Upon browsing I saw one trainer with a Snivy and one with a Bayleaf.
Upon logging into a pixelmon world for the first time, it presents you with four options for a starter. Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmader, and Eevee. If you want to include other pokemon that are not in the mod in backstories, go for it! Though a few of you may want to do a quick looksie and make sure everything falls into place. May be a bit odd for you to have a different starter than what your backstory says you have.
Keep dem apps rolling everybody! We are looking good now!
I know right XD

IN GAME INFORMATION
Character Name: Rick (Last name?: MoonWatcher)[why not? =p]
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Backstory: Rick was a quiet trainer, he did not talk to many too often, but he understood many things others would not. He normally only had two pokemon with him at a time, he had his Charmander whom he did not name, for he thought they were silly. His other pokemon was a Gyrados, he raised it before it evolved, the only reason he kept it was because it was resistant and would not leave him alone easily. Rick had no path to defeating all that is evil, or taking out anyone who wished to hurt him. He was more of a stranger to all, he mearly wondered the land until he could find a place which he could relax and enjoy his own personal time. He went to many towns, but none of them where right for him, eventually he started traveling to Pallet Town, but along the way he was knocked down by a strong wind, the pokeball which contained his Gyrados was knocked off his belt, and rolled off of the cliff beside him. He knew this was not right, so he ran too Pallet Town which happen to be only 1/4 a mile away...
Character Responses: (fill these out in character. These are to test your RP abilities. This is not the biggest decision maker, but can drastically help your application if you are good.)
You are running as fast as you can to get to the pokemon center, your sick meowth pants heavily in your arms. You know if you do not make it soon the poor thing may not make it. At that moment, you hear a shriek. Turning to your right you see a small girl, overshadowed by a menacing Arbok. You have no pokemon that are fit for battle, but if you don't do something, the child will almost certainly be lunch. You give a worried glance down at your meowth, and then back at the scene unfolding before you.... you have a choice to make, and you have to make it now *Rick puts his Meowth beside the tree that was next to him very quietly to avoid detection.* *Rick starts dashing forward to the Arbok as fast as he can and attempts too 'tackle' it from the middle of it's length* Upon doing so Rick stood back up. *Rick looks at the Arbok and sizes it up* Rick speaks towards the girl You, young girl. *The child looks up in slight terror and says* "Ye- yes?" What town are you from? "P-Pallet Town" I haven't been there yet, show me the way, and I will take you back, or we can wait for this Arbok to regain it's energy and attack us... *Rick then goes back, picks up his Meowth, and follows the girl to the new town*
You grunt with frustration as you return your beaten and bruised beedrill to its pokeball. How in the world your opponents sandslash is that powerful, you have no idea. You only have two pokemon remaining. Your starter, who is only in it's second form, and your pidgeotto, who has already had a hard day of battles. Who do you go with now? *Rick sends out his Charmleon* "You sent out that pokemon? I have an easy advantage though." *Rick took out a small capsule of the sorts, it was an X speed item* *He tossed it too his Charmleon who used it as soon as he got it* "What did you just give him?" *The Charmelon immediately and with great speed started to rush towards the Sandslash too fast for the other train to react to call an attack* "Sandslash do-" *It was too late the Sandslash was hit directly with close-range Ember attack* *The Sandslash was badly weakened, and burned afterwards.* "Sandslash use dig now!" *Rick looks around without moving his head, trying to figure out where it will come out* "I have you now! GO!" *Rick lets out a small smile* "Wh-What?" *The Charmleon jumps straight up in the air and looks below, the Sandslash has come out below it* Rick Commands with a low voice: Use dragon rage. *The Charmealeon used dragon rage directly at the Sandslash which was going straight up towards it* "NO!" *The charmeleon lands in front of Rick unharmed, the Sandslash lands infront of the trainer Knocked out*
The trade being offered to you is more than generous. Not only is what they're offering shiny, but it is the perfect type you need to fill your party out. But... is it really worth your starter? After all you have been through, the countless adventures you have shared, will you forfeit all of that for the perfect team combination? You step up to trade machine, sweaty palms, now is the moment of truth..*Rick stops at the machine and looks at the pokeball he now has in his hand* Why would I trade you for anything?...*Rick then looks at the machine shakes his head, and walks away*(Very difficult for me to work with this because 'I' would never trade my pokemon)
YESSSS RIIIICK i didnt know if you liked Pokemon BUT YESSS im happy to see you here !
Cant wait to get this Server GOING!
Rohirio- That darned Arbok, all the feels,bro. Seriously though, nice app. However, please refer to my statement above about available starters, as Chikorita is not in the mod at this point in time. You are accepted, but I advise revising the backstory if at all possible.
origamikiller- I enjoyed your back story very much! Gives me a lot of potential things to work with *rubs hands together menacingly.* Welcome to Pixelmon Legacy!
Diamond_daisy- Accepted, with a few conditions. I can provide you with a poliwag as your starter, but you would have to forfeit the given starter the mod provides. If you do not want to do that then all I ask is that you slightly alter your backstory to fit the options you are given when you first log in. Other than that, congratz on being the first accepted female! One of the best apps to be posted yet, in my opinion!
Rick_MoonWatcher- You can't start the game with a Gyr- oh, I see what you did there! Just kidding, nice app welcome to the server!
DEFERRED
Riptide1999- Good app, but I cannot allow Dratini as a starter, sorry. If you want something other than what the mod provides at login (Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, or Eevee) you may talk to me about it, but dratinni is too rare to allow. Change that bit and repost and we will be good to go.
