WELCOME TO THE SINNOH REGION, a massive island rich with exploration and Pokemon. Legends say that Sinnoh was the very first Pokemon region to come into being;
and so the nefarious Team Galactic has begun searching for the time and space Pokemon in an effort to destroy and recreate the entire Pokemon Universe. Will you step up, earn your badges,
and fight to defend the world? Or do you believe in Galactic ideals, wishing to follow their efforts in starting anew?
[ 08.15 ] Welcome to Sinnoh! Team Rocket have arrived in Sinnoh and have left a very daunting message here. With the introduction of a new class comes another promo!
Check out the rocket promotion here and stay tuned for many more exciting events!
major news alert!
witness reports from all over the region has been flooding in about strange happenings at the three lakes. what's more perplexing is that these occurrences seem to be happening spontaneously at the lakes. just moments ago, a burst of light erupted at the locations and residents in the vicinity have reported that the lake-side pokemon have turned aggressive and attack on sight.
However, there have been rumours and sightings of the legendary lake trio which has had trainers flocking in from all over the region.
He's read bookshelves full of tomes concerning mythological pokemon, and creation stories regarding man and pokemon alike. He's searched for methods, and means and while eventually he found paths Two ultimately was left with more questions than he was answers, concerning a number of concepts. One of which being, 'why did it rain?' The boy stood in his jacket eyes focused on gray skies above. The waters hadn't yet become torrential, but they were heavier than most would have cared to stand in.
His mission here had already been completed for the most part, the job wasn't difficult much more of an errand than a mission by any means. They'd only assigned him because the goods in question were precious to the organization. A certain underground dealer had some items he'd sold to Galactic and while they were rare the grunt was certain they were illegal. The trainer was tasked with delivering the goods to a rendezvous characterized by one of the trainer blimps in the city. He was told they'd come regardless of the weather and so the man chose to wait outside in the rain watching and waiting for the moment the blimp would descend from the water filled clouds above.
Nine times out of ten Two would have been upset with the turn out, but today the rain felt nice. He'd even call the phenomenon 'calming' to an extent. As the water continues to fall he can't help but recall a number of myths and tales on the subject looking across the entirety of the small town. Soon he hears footsteps clicking against the soaked tiles behind him. He's alert, and while the grunt's not wearing a uniform or anything of the sort, he knows the situation may seem slightly odd.
The soaked man only turns halfway to the stranger cat-like eyes honing in on the visitor, "Hey, why do you think it rains?"
Water that falls from the sky after it evaporates from the ground. A simple, scientific process. But that wasn't the only aspect in this world. There is a pokemon for the sea, a pokemon for the land, for example. The world was tied to the pokemon that exist. Some of them might just personification, or causes from long ago if they are ancient. Maybe they are part of the system. Whatever it was, there must be a pokemon out there that is tied to the rain, and to making it fall. But, Jessica could think about it like that all she wanted, she always thought of something else when rain fell. It was something that felt more personal to her, even as the rain drops soaked her person.
''Maybe the world is crying, for everything and everyone.'' she answers, softly.
Jessica had come back from route 201, when the rain had started. Memories that she would rather forget started to echo in her mind. The rain always did this to her, and often times she would just find a place to hole up and wait it out. Because of that, she hadn't felt like returning to one of the shelters that were up for the starting trainers, or the healing areas. So she had wandered around the town, as she had done before. For some reason, it seemed like someone was contriving a plan, because she had met another male on this trip. However, this time there was no pokemon battle to be wary of, just a random question as she approached. Although, her curiosity is what makes her stay. Stopping when she was close enough, the blonde tilted her head, observing him. ''And you? Why do you think it rains?''
It was only fair to have the question that was asked to be redirected to himself, wasn't it?
Jessica felt her gaze go upwards again, her eyes looking up at the sky.
Her answer wasn't sub-par by any means it sounded like the girl had honestly given more thought to the event than the average person would. The rain in his eyes and this stranger's too was more than a simple process without purpose, however her answer was far weaker, but also far kinder than his own. "I see." His initial response is brief almost lost in the sounds of the oncoming storm. The water continues to fall neither increasing or decreasing in force, stable for the moment. When she returns his question the man doesn't answer immediately fully turning his body to her leaning back against the wet railing.
"In Hoenn lore it's said in ancient times the massive sea beast, Kyogre almost flooded the world on multiple occasions. It caused a torrential rain retaliating against all who'd forsaken it, a punishment to humans across the world for their misdeeds." He'd pause for a moment letting the water trickle down his face his eyes hazy and not yet entirely focused on the girl. "In Johto lore it's said the Lugia the ancient beast of the former Brass Tower would have had it rain for 40 days and 40 nights in its rage following the destruction of the Brass tower if not for its counterparts actions."
Suddenly a short laugh. He can't help it the irony in these tales were laughable to large degree. "It's funny. In order for life to exist plants, pokemon and humans alike all need water to exist, but it's been used as this tool for destruction so many times in the history of our world it's laughable." He can feel his jacket taking on water now far heavier than it'd ever been before still he doesn't remove it. "I believe the rain is a defense mechanism, a poor one. It's goal is to rid the world of all the excess, but alone it doesn't have the power to do it." He'd pause for a moment leaving his theory in the damp air for a moment. "Or is that too far fetched? His eyes now sharp focused entirely on the blond haired newcomer now. he waits for the strangers response expression neutral for now.

SHATTER ME
somebody shine a light
There was something quiet about this.
Was it peace? The blonde wasn't the type of person that claimed peace with others. People were... tricky things. If she hadn't been so determined to restore her honour, maybe she would have become a hermit. Her own gaze turned to the male before her, as he himself faced her now. She listened, tilting her head a little as if to let the sounds come easier to her. And honestly, the way he said it? It had crossed her mind before. ''A lot of things are laughable in our history, like the same mistakes over and over.'' she said. Her gaze had slid to the ground in thought at some point, but they shifted straight to male's own, her mind working.
''But I won't deny, I've though the same. That the world is trying to wash away all that plagues it, but it just isn't strong enough to do so.'' she said, pausing. Honestly, she wasn't sure where this conversation was heading, but it was fascinating. Her fingers lifted, shifting a wet bang from the center of her face to the side. ''But couldn't the same be said of any weather? Each of time could be a defence mechanism, but it just cannot push itself to the point of actual effectiveness. The heat will sear and purify everything in flames. Snow will bury everything, and freeze anymore corruption. The wind will shred and destroy. Each weather has a dark history.'' she added. ''But if there's a pokemon that's the embodiment of the rain, I find myself curious on how they are like.'' she added, almost as an afterthought.
Although, she felt as if she was rambling at this point. She was not a person that talked often, but this was thought provoking and interesting. Although, keenly, she knew that whatever the male wanted, she probably couldn't provide it. Many people thought of her as too straight laced, as too cold to truly understand others. And thus, she often disappointed others. She was used to such a concept, but she couldn't help but hope that she hadn't done so this time. That this time, this person would be just as curious as she. It would be a nice change of pace, to be fairly honest, and it might even be something that gives her hope for the future of her association with mankind.
But knowing her luck, he was probably some criminal like Team Galactic.
"Is that so?" He leans forward confident, "if I had to describe it in a word I'd say it's 'absolute'." He steps forward confidently leaving the small suitcase behind him for a moment the woman deserving his full attention. Rain continues to fall and he mirrors her moving his own hair out from his eyes piercing gold watching the woman's movements ever so carefully.
"Absolute in its destruction and unbiased in who it destroys. A moment ago you said corruption, but what exactly is corruption? Who is corrupt? The eternal rain pokemon would say all of humanity if its actions are representative of its beliefs, no?" He closes his eyes for a moment, letting his thoughts marinate before speaking again. "But I digress, I hope I haven't bored you with a madman's ramblings." Indeed his words at the end of the day meant nothing to a stranger, she'd done well to follow him thus far and for that she'd earned his curiosity. "What exactly brings such a.. receptive... stranger to this rooftop in the middle of a storm? You don't seem like the type to get lost."
