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.
[attr="class","humour"]two times now. honestly he had no one but himself to blame, he just couldn't help himself; when an opportunity to have fun presents itself he will almost take the bait every single time. his last fuck up was no different, again he let the girl manipulate him and again he let the girl get away. at least this time around no media were around to cover it.
oh, he also got his team back. he took it as a peace offering of sorts, to ask him to stop chasing her. he won't. not a chance.
the city of hearthome never failed to bring memories, both good or bad; the parties, the mornings, everything. he was no stranger to the city, so he knew where the hotspots were. which was where he was tonight, just venturing, looking for any good places to stop at. the more one spent out the less exciting it got, or at least that was the case for the man. no spots caught his attention, but a familiar head of hair did.
opposite the road, seemingly blending into the crowd as she walked. he crossed immediately, shoving his way into the crowd. she wasn't too far ahead. "hey!" he yelled.

[attr="class","dilyrics"]Your lips feel warm to the touch You can bring me back to life On the outside you're ablaze and alive But
[attr="class","dilyric"]you're dead inside
[attr="class","dibody"]unrestricted, alone, free to do as she wants-- fuck rehab. coming to sinnoh has only been a shit bag of.. well, shit. there has to be more than this, cat and mouse, torment, and scoldings couldn't be all she had left in this life. she was too important for that, self-inflated, life without borders.
Phencyclidine is today's choice. an old favorite-- dangerous, but effective. she feels invulnerable, strong, detached from any human strings left from before. hallucinations become real as the world blurs around her, peoples faces blur into something.. else. she doesn't care- nicolette would rather live in this world than the real one. people are monsters anyway; why shouldn't they look it. heart beats fast as the excitement from the high pumps through her blood- she takes out her phone, dials valerie , hangs up, dials again, ring, ring, hang up, dial, ring, hang up, dial--
she abruptly puts the device back in her pocket.
even now, she remembers every face lost. now aint the fuckin time, even her clouded mind could process frustration; why can't she just get past it? christ, it's been years. the dead don't give a shit about the living, so why should it go the other way around?
she stumbles in time to hear what sounds like a hey from miles away-- she sees the sound travel toward her, hitting her like a bullet. nikki jumps at the sight of him, red-tinted goggles falling over clouded eyes as he approaches. that fucking ranger again.
she laughs, flips him off, and makes a break for it. they were going to fight. she was going to put an end to this bullshit, but even she knew better than to do it in the middle of the street. she'd crush him under her foot. she feels like she's moving at 1000 miles per minute, dodging people-- dodging cars as she crosses the street, jumping the hood of one at a stop light.
[attr="class","humour"]chase start. he led with his shoulder, pushing past people one by one as he followed. the girl was quick, her small size played as an advantage. "move--" he shoved past a few with no regard to their safety. he crossed the road when she did, narrowly avoiding being hit by oncoming traffic. things were starting to heat up, danger building as he closed the gap ever so slowly.
the main priority was to get away from the public. luckily for him she was doing just so, which only meant that she was preparing for a battle. a hand reached into his pocket as he ran, a flash of white and out came his blaziken, newly evolved, still fresh from the training. there were still people around but he didn't care. he wasn't going to let her get away this time.
"go."
instructions clear. the blaziken rushed forward, outpacing the man by a lot. the blaze pokemon maneuvered its way around the crowd, up and over cars, anything it could do to catch up. eventually it got close enough and would attempt a literal tackle on the girl, hoping to make her fall.

[attr="class","dilyric"]you're dead inside
[attr="class","dibody"]in her mind she's the little human running from the hungry giant-- the blakizen, though quiet and swift, seems to make the ground shake, seems to make thunder roar from the sky. blurred faces of the people she passes twist into dark, ghoulish expressions, all whispering her name, all telling her to
die? no, not today, fucking suckers. who the fuck do you think you are? "i'm a fucking silph, you shit!" she turns to hiss at rory, taking the blaziken head on. five pokeballs burst open upon impact on the ground, her team revealing itself as she's pushed into the dirt. the joltik takes its position on the ground, an ELECTROWEB shooting from its mandibles at the ranger in an attempt to slow him down. two pikachu spring into action, the male making multiple illusions of himself, all jumping at the blaziken with an acrobatic IRON TAIL. screws and scrap metal rise from the ground in luz's MAGNET RISE as she runs on all fours to SLAM into rory. both the pachirisu and helioptile go for the blaziken with grey; the squirrel's SUPER FANG would aim to sink into the thing's throat, while the lizard would rear on its hind legs, SURF bubbling from its jaws and threatening to flood the area.
nikki is left to cackle under the weight of the giant-- teeth would bite into the blaziken in an attempt to fight back. she's a cocky, pinned animal and the blaziken is the beast with a wide open mouth, aiming to swallow her whole.
[attr="class","humour"]silph. was it the same one? he tried to recall the memories of when he was younger, when he was forced to go to these events and gatherings. mind also ventured over to the media, recalling a missing silph child. he doesn't remember just yet but he's met her when he was younger. but right now all he could think of was if she was the missing child; so much so that he didn't see the electroweb coming straight at him.
it tangled his ankles together, causing him to trip and fall forward. his hands would plant against the ground to take most of the impact before rolling. he was close enough to the scene to instruct the blaziken but it looked like it was already getting ganged up on. "dodge shit!" he yelled out.
the blaze pokemon was nimble on its feet, quickly standing back up and off the girl as it shook off the rat before it could use a super fang only to fall short on the surf, the water rippling through, hurting.
rory on the other hand received full impact of the slam attack from the other pikachu. he felt his heart seize up if only for a moment, breathing now became more difficult. "you fucking rat--" he mumbled as he remained on the ground, hand on his chest. he needed to even out the playing field.
out came his other three. the appearance of the vulpix caused a mini drought of sorts, temperature increasing as humidity dried. and just like always no orders were given but they knew what they had to do. the vulpix used safeguard followed by a controlled fire blast at one of the pikachus. noibat would try for a supersonic on the helioptile. bergmite would go in for a bite attack on the electric bug. the blaziken would do nothing this turn, instead coming back over to stand in front of rory to protect him.
rory shoved off the pikachu and untangled himself from the web. his eyes were stuck on the girl as he examined her closely. "you the silph girl that went missing?" he asked.

[attr="class","dilyrics3"]Your lips feel warm to the touch You can bring me back to life On the outside you're ablaze and alive But
[attr="class","dilyric3"]you're dead inside
[attr="class","dibody3"]she scrambles to her feet as the blakizen releases her, eyes wild, pokemon gathering to her and she makes herself stable on her feet. the drought's heat only makes her more anxious, more jumpy as the faces of rory and his pokemon turn into monsters-- die. them, or her? it's unclear, the scowls and tries to shake it off, but distractions lie in the melting trees around her. the floor is lava, and the heat only proves that to be true. breath hitches as she panics. helioptile's dry skin hates the heat- it takes damage from the drought alone before hurling another SURF on the playing field to refresh itself, attack the blaziken, and calm its trainer. the lava calcifies under the surf- she can relax, but only a little.
confusion hits the lizard soon after-- the pain of the headache and the heat of the drought guarantee it a short lifespan as it struggles to focus. the joltik is left to square off against the iceberg pokemon, opting to dodge-- inside its mouth. wrapped in the jaws of the ice-type, the insect shoots an ELECTROBALL into the belly of the beast, soon making its escape and attaching to the vulpix instead, releasing its GASTRO ACID into the thing's veins with a pinprick. the male pikachu would get hit by the fire blast, only to push through and retaliate with an IRON TAIL of its own, made worse with the extra power of THUNDERBOLT. the electricity courses through its body as the metallic tail conducts it-- a seemingly deadly combination.
luz, closer to rory, has already squared up with the blaziken, fur prickling as it jumps in to NUZZLE the fire-type, a second SLAM used to give it that extra speed boost to reach the fire-fighting pokemon. pachirisu would find its opponent to be the noibat, a THUNDER WAVE aimed at the bat, soon to be followed with a SWEET KISS.
enter nikki, left to watch the destruction with clouded eyes. her pokemon look huge as they attack, the ground shaking under their feet- in the distance is rory, the evil monster. yet, she hears him loud and clear. from so far? how? she doesn't realize how labored her breathing has gotten, how the adrenaline coupled with the drug have slowly begun to degrade her. went missing? the words repeat in her head as harsh whispers. she cracks a smile, but that's about as much as he'll get.
RECAP: nikki is losing her fucking mind! helioptile uses surf on the enemy field joltik used electroball on bergmite joltik used gastro acid on vulpix pikachu (m) used iron tail+thunderbolt on vulpix pikachu (f) used slam+nuzzle on blaziken pachirisu used sweet kiss + thunder wave on noibat nikki probably needs a hospital!
[attr="class","humour"]the surf now under the strong sunlight did less damage so blaziken was fine to take the damage, shaking off the water afterwards. a battle raged on between them, all four of their pokemon going at each other as the crowd was forced to disperse, luckily it was a relatively empty street. they'd gain some attention soon so he hoped to finish this before they did.
the electric attack might have been literally swallowed by the bergmite it was still able to return an attack, following the joltik to deliver a bite attack. the vulpix's drought was now nullified by the gastro acid, temperature going back to normal. the onslaught of attacks almost caused it to faint, but it hung on as it fired off another fire blast at the pikachu.
blaziken had its own problem handling the swift and small yellow rat. it dodged the nuzzle, luckily, and took the damage from the slam, the impact almost enough to knock it down but not quite enough. with the pikachu now up close ignited both feet in flames before kicking the pikachu twice, delivering two blaze kicks. the noibat was useless this turn, the paralysis and affection enough to keep it contained.
battle was not looking good for rory but the girl looked worse. it was clear that she was tripping on something. "nikki." he called for her attention. he took a few steps over to the side so he could get a good look at her, also avoiding the battle at the same time. "the fuck are you on?" he asked.
"you look fucked up."
- bergmite used bite on joltik - vulpix used fire blast on pikachu (m) - blaziken used blaze kick x2 on pikachu (f)

[attr="class","dilyrics3"]Your lips feel warm to the touch You can bring me back to life On the outside you're ablaze and alive But
[attr="class","dilyric3"]you're dead inside
[attr="class","dibody3"]his voice only brings her attention to him, eyes narrowing as she looks the beast of a man up and down. teeth bared, nicolette becomes the caged animal, sprinting forward at rory, arms extended as she makes a running leap at him. he looks too familiar. looks too much like them from kanto. his face changes hundreds of times, their voices only whispers ringing in the back of her skull. are those tears? he won't have time to tell. "shut the fuck up," she's shouting now, fist rearing back to nail him in the face as her pokemon battle on.
the heat of the fire blast whips past her, dodging pikachu in the air, cheeks sparking as he returns fire with a THUNDERBOLT. luz flies back underneath him as the first flame kick connects, the pikachu whining as it pushes itself to its feet with gritted teeth. the pikachu can't win against something like that-- instead it takes its frustration out on the gimped noibat with a THUNDERBOLT of its own, standing its ground next to its trainer as she attacks the man. helioptile takes its place, the pokemon sending out another SURF, immediately following with a PARABOLIC CHARGE, the current amplified through the water as the life force of everything it touches surges back into the lizard pokemon. joltik fights its own battles, caught between the bergmite's teeth it desperately aims to help its comrades with an ELECTROWEB aimed at the blaziken before focusing on the iceberg once more, ELECTROBALL being its last resort against the ice-type. all players move at once- the field is chaos as each team moves like a well-oiled machine, dipping and swapping places as their trainers fight their own battles, both physical and mental. pachirisu responds to the joltik's cry, a SWIFT firing off at the thing before it aims to paralyze the blaziken with a THUNDER WAVE, sparks traveling through puddles on the ground.
nikki is relentless in her onslaught, voice strained, words slurred and almost inaudible over the sound of battle. "stop fucking following me".
RECAP: pikachu (m) dodges fire blast pikachu (m) uses thunderbolt on vulpix pikachu (f) hit by flame kick x1- dodges pikachu (f) used thunderbolt on noibat! helioptile used surf on blaziken helioptile used parabolic charge, healed some joltik hit by bite joltik used electroweb on blaziken joltik used electroball on bergmite pachirisu used swift on bergmite pachirisu used thunder wave on blaziken
[attr="class","humour"]and suddenly she was on a long sprint towards him, practically leaping at him with intentions to hurt or even worse. blaziken was too preoccupied to do anything to stop her. he caught nikki as she leaped at him, legs almost giving in. the punches were something he could not dodge, his hands busy trying to control the girl.
both the bergmite and the noibat fell, which put his remaining two pokemon at a serious disadvantage. two versus five it was, but rory had faith in the fire types. vulpix was first to move, body temperature rapidly increasing with every passing second. the drought may have been removed but they were about to feel the heat. two strong waves of flame burst attacks emerged from the vulpix with intentions of hitting everyone on the field, even the blaziken. the blaze pokemon took the damage, welcoming it as it channeled the heat into its feet before moving forward to deliver a blaze kick attack to one of the pikachus. the attack succeeded despite the paralysis. the two fire pokemon needed to do something big.
the girl's punches although stronger than he would have liked didn't do nearly enough. hands would strongly wrap around her shoulders, basically pinning them to her side as he observed. tears? "you need some serious help." he spoke through the anger that was being thrown at him. "what are you on?" he needed to know just in case. and if the girl thought he wasn't being serious he would shake her to and fro, voice now more stern than normal. "nikki. what the fuck are you on?" he asked.
- bergmite faints - noibat faints - vulpix hit by thunderbolt - vulpix used flame burst x2 - blaziken dodges surf - blaziken hit by electroweb - blaziken hit by thunder wave - blaziken used blaze kick on pikachu (f)

[attr="class","dilyric3"]you're dead inside
[attr="class","dibody3"]what are you on?
words fall short as she goes still for a what seems like an eternity. body goes limp, eyes close, energy dissipates. her pokemon continue to fight despite this, but the rising heat goes unnoticed until it's too late. luz goes lying back once more, body crumpling fainted against the tree it hit. the flame burst sweeps over the field like an atom bomb, felling all pokemon but one. the second the bodies fall she snaps back to life, like a switch. nikki is let gasping for air, gripping on to rory as she tries to gather herself, goggles on previously being pushed down around her neck. she feels like she's stuck under water, chained to the bottom as she's shaken to consciousness.
an attempt to sit up is failed.
what the fuck are you on?
nikki nikki nikki nikki nik- that's.. "nicolette," she grumbles, trembling fingers retrieving a bag of white powder from the lining of her jacket, balled up in her hands before she releases it on the ground. her head rests on his chest, attention set straight into the woods, into nothing.
[attr="class","humour"]"fuck," he mumbled. he gently pushed her off of him, rotating her to lay on her back as one hand supported her. he shook again. nothing. he picked up the bag of white powder that she dropped. it looked familiar; a quick and safe sniff later would tell him that it was pcp, or angel dust. he balled it up and slid it into a pocket before recalling the vulpix.
hands would search the girl before landing on the pokeballs around her thigh. he pulled all of them off and through trial and error recalled her fallen team before placing it back onto her. the girl was still unresponsive, though breathing. they couldn't stay here and he didn't want to take her into hq just yet, her silph background peaked his interest.
"ares, carry her." the blaziken picked the girl up, the crowd eyeing him with suspicious looks as they made their way to his room he was staying at. he shoved his way into the room before pointing at the comfortable bed. the blaziken set her down gently and was recalled back into its pokeball. the man closed the door behind him, also noticing the weird looks he got from the people in the lobby. he contemplated cuffing her to the bed but that seemed a bit much considering her state.
all he needed to do was to wait it out. he got comfortable on a nearby chair, eyes never leaving the girl.

[attr="class","dibody3"]eyelids would flutter between open and closed as the world passed her by on the way to the hotel. soft. warm. only simple responses from the place she was kept. her eyes would open and dart around in intervals before she would go seemingly comatose again. fingers twitch agains the sheets, sometimes balling them up, sometimes lax. breathing was always labored- she was living in her own head while the shell of her body stared out at nothing. words came slow and in echoes to her.
vulnerable. again.
it was disgusting. the only punishment is locked in her skull as she continues the mental battle, scenes replaying but contorted, voices speaking but ghoulish and ghost-like. eyes follow what she believes are their spirits around the room. two hours and she's asleep. two more and nicolette flickers back to life, immediately reaching for her thigh, hand wrapping around a pokeball as she sits up in a panic and cold sweat, face flushed. a fainted pikachu is called out, the sleeping pokemon unresponsive. her heart races from fear, from not knowing. her location? unknown. state of team? unknown. everything is an unknown.
she remembers liking that feeling at some point. now it makes her feel incompetent, like a weak link that's offering its life to be destroyed at any given time. with clarity green eyes would lock on to rory- confusion, frustration.. relief?
[attr="class","humour"]four hours. that was how long he had to wait for the girl to finally wake up. he left his chair a few times since watching someone go through what she did wasn't a pleasant watch. he's been there a few times himself so he understood the pain. but when she finally awoke he saw how confused she look and understood how vulnerable she probably felt.
"relax." he spoke, eyeing the fallen pikachu, a casualty from the earlier battle. he stood up from his chair and walked over to the fridge, pulling out a bottle of water before walking over to her. he stuck the bottle out in front of him, offering it to her. and if she wouldn't take it then he'd simply drop it on the bed near her.
"drink up. you're dehydrated," he ordered. in that four hours he's learned quite a lot, but particularly a lot about her. a quick search on the internet does wonders. "nicolette silph. i knew you looked familiar." he said. she was the infamous silph daughter who vanished. rory has met her a few times when he was much younger, but she looked much different back then.
"what happened to the cute girl with the blonde hair?" he asked, taking a seat back on the chair.

[attr="class","dilyrics3"]Your lips feel warm to the touch You can bring me back to life On the outside you're ablaze and alive But
[attr="class","dilyric3"]you're dead inside
[attr="class","dibody3"]it's more sobering than she'd like, to be taken care of like this. trembling hands take the bottle, working much too hard to unscrew the cap before sipping the thing; it may be good for her body but the thought of eating or drinking repulses her. still, she knows better than to go on without trying. she leans back, flinching at the mention of her full name. she tenses up more so than before, barely turning her head to look at him. "and why am i here, mister mclain?" she's mellow, more so than usual. voice softer, yet replaced with.. arrogance? indigence? regardless, she's known his face for weeks. rory was troublesome enough for her to go through the bother of researching--
ah, childhood.
what a disgusting afterthought. "guess there are too many ghosts," she chuckles, coughing shortly after. more water, more scowls. the silph sighs, either exhausted or frustrated, maybe both. green eyes lock with his. "she died."
that was the most simple way to put it. it was true, wasn't it? nicolette silph died with her old squad, and she had been fading long before that. this new version has yet to find out what it is, or how to end its past.
[attr="class","humour"]why was she here? he shrugged his shoulders. "you must have realized by now that i don't plan on arresting you, even though i probably should." she wasn't like the other criminals or thugs he's encountered; it may be because of her age that convinced him not to arrest her. she just seemed misguided-- lost.
she died. he believed that, the girl in front of him was a completely different person; how she became like this he wasn't too sure. he ignored her last question, instead asking more. "why'd you run? you had everything." the same question could be asked about him as well, though his case was slightly less extreme.
he sighed. "i'm not here to convert you back to the old you or whatever, personally i like this version better. more fun." he leaned forward in his chair, fingers reaching into his pocket to pull out the bag of white powder from before.
"but you need to get your shit together." he tossed the bag onto the bed, giving it back to her. "this shit kills you and i don't think you want to die, considering what you've gone through to get here."
asking her to get clean was a bit much to ask, even he knew that.
