I already sent you another PM recanting my resignation but I'll post this here just incase you miss it....
NOTE to Updatees: I'm really sorry for not updating in so long, I caught the flu and was just so tired all the time I never got around to updating. Updates will return to a fairly regular schedule from now on and I apologize again. If I end up skipping somebody again, let me know....
Rainbow Waterfalls
Nitrus, Chikorita04, Flames Galore, and Meandude33: Following your pokemon's map choice, like a huge number of people seem to have been doing lately in the Cloud Garden, you enter a small path leading into a forest. In the distance you hear the trickling of running water and the faint sounds of pokemon and trainers wandering around. A cool mist hangs through the air as you head down the path, which not far ahead forks into 2 directions, one to the right that heads towards the water and another to the left that goes deeper into the woods...
NOTE: I put the four of you together because you're all entering the zone at the same time, you can break apart any time you wish, this just makes it easier for me to post...ALSO, I'm pretty sure you all need to put your pokemon teams in your signatures. If you have done this then don't worry, but make sure that if you haven't done so that you do!
Kauser79: Continuing down the path, a tiny glare hits the corner of your eye. Stopping to look back, you notice that the light coming through the treetops is reflecting off of something shiny in the brush alongside the path....
Radical Edward: The pokeball drops to the ground and shakes violently as the pokemon inside fights. Looks like playtime is over for Aipom as the pokeball finally stops and chimes loudly as your new pokemon is captured! Congratulations on capturing a brand new, level 7 male Aipom!
Waterlight: FOllowing your star-pokemon as it rushes towards the running water, you soon come across a large stream. Off in the distance the sounds of the Rainbow Waterfalls resonate throughout the counryside, drowning out the distant cries of bird pokemon. Looking around, you notice two things. One, that there are bug and forest type pokemon hanging around all over this stream of serenity, and second that you can see at least two trainers in the distance. To the left in the distance you can see a trainer enjoying the water (Latias10) and to the right at an almost equal distance away you see trainer and her pokemon about to leave (Elite Water Trainer)...
Latias10: Shimmer nods and pushes some fruit out towards the small pokemon surrounding the area. A few bug pokemon creep a little ways towards the food, curious. Not that it matters, for the fruit is out in the open for mere seconds before a Spearow swiftly drops from the treeline and swoops down, grasping as much of the fruit as it can in its little talons as it pulls up. It looks down with a coy expression as it mocks the weak bug pokemon....You're not going to let it get away with that are you?
*~Hureta~*: Confidently ordering the attack, Swinub dashes forth. Leaping, it catches the ghost pokemon by surprise! Unfortunately, despite surprised the pokemon, Swinub simply passes right through the incorporeal attacker. Chuckling, Shuppet smirks at you.
{Nice try girl, but you should know physical attacks do nothing to me!}
Charging, the ghost pokemon crackles with what looks like black lighting, and suddenly sends out a strike that engulfs your poor Swinub and sends the little one flying into a pile of rubble. Night Shade is quite a powerful attack, considering it means Shuppet is at least level 13, and Swinub falls to the ground unconscious. Shuppet laughs wildly...
{One down, one to go..HURK!!}
The pokemon never finishes the sentence, as a black form crashes into the ghost and sends it crashing to the floor of the ancient building. Unmelding from the shadows, the mysterious attacker is revealed as an Umbreon! The mysterious dog pokemon stares at you for a long moment, its yellow eyes piercing into your soul. This doesn't happen for long, as it grabs the ghost in its maw and gives a nod to the Noctowl, who is recovering, before dashing into the shadows again. Swinub, meanwhile, is helped up by the Shroomish and given some herbs to heal as Noctowl stands.
[I thank you for trying to help, go back to sleep young one. The Gaurdians of the Falls are watching over us, your pokemon will be fine by morning...]
Elite Water Trainer: Waving goodbye to your new friends, you set off into the woods. Passing the ominous gang of Weedle and Kakuna, you find the forest ahead to be almost as beautiful as the stream. The afternoon sun breaks through the thick canopy of the forest, and mixed with the light mist in the air it makes an almost magical effect. For a split second you think you see something dashing through the mist just beyond recognition, but you immediately shrug it off. What you do hear, however, is the sound of human voices in the distance....
LaduUmbra: The breeder ***** his head, smiling as you fire away.
"My, you're full of a questions. Come on, I'll try to answer as we walk..."
Following alongside the young man, you begin making your way towards teh farm house, which you can see quite a good distance away. One thing that you note is that the entire farmland can be seen from your position on the top of the hillside, and a perfectly square treeline forms the boundary, as the man begins to talk...
"We ranch all kinds of pokemon here, mostly Miltank and Mareep, but we also raise some water pokemon in the pond on the other side of the house over there. This is the only farm in the area, the Waterfalls area has been restricted property for quite some time. Fortunately for us our family has owned this plot of land for a good 200 years, and so far the owners haven't had a problem with our presence..."
He seems to go on for a while, and after what feels like, and probably was, hours you arrive at the main homestead. The first thing you note is that there are more pokemon here then you've ever seen before! Ranch hands can be seen tending to Miltank, Tauros, Ponyta, and just about every garden variety pokemon you can imagine. As you near the farm house, you're almost immediately welcomed with open arms as the young man explains what happened....
'Well, dinner will be ready in an hour or so, feel free to look around until then..."
Eeveeboy_geoff: Nodding, the scientist seems to be a little frustrating wih your pushiness.
"Well, there are a lot of Zubat and other nocturnal pokemon in the caves, lots of rock and bug types. Some say there have been some Clefiary-type pokemon in the deeper parts of the caves but I haven't seen any. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got work to do. Its a public cave so I can't tell you to get out but do try not to get in the way of our research!"
As polite as he tried to be, it is still quite harsh. The man quickly turns and hurries off into the distance, leaving you and your pokemon standing alone in the caves. What now?
Rock Garden
Aron Fan: You walk through the huge green gates into the Rock Garden, and the view almost knocks you back. The first thing you see is a huge Onix shaped rock formation, with smaller natural formations surrounding. The onix is quite a ways away, though. Closer is the entrance area, where most of the Rock Garden's stores and information boothes lie. Either way it looks like this place is full of adventure at every turn...
P-Arts: Sending out your pokemon to do the dirty work, you sit back and relax while Gastly nervously floats towards the coagulation of powerful rock types. The first thing it spots is an Onix, slowly snaking its way through the sand towards the giant formation in the form of its bretheran. Gulping, Gastly remembers your order to lure in the biggest pokemon it can find.
Gastly quickly catches up the giant rock pokemon, and stops in front of it. It tries to taunt the rock snake, only to have the pokemon pass right through Gastly's gaseous body. Spinning around in surprise, Gastly stares confused for a moment before returning to you.
{Something's wrong, its like the pokemon are in a trance!}
Aurora Wish: Deciding to pass up the giant Onix, you move on. Shiner looks back and barely makes out what looks like a tiny Gastly floating out towards the wayward rock pokemon, but simply shrugs it off. The two of you walk on for quite some time before coming to what looks like a rest house. A large sign on the wall reads "CHEAP REFRESHMENTS!!" and after walking in the hot sun for a while the thought of a cool drink is very appeasing....
