The sunlight filtered through the blinds like sand through a colinder, and as it struck the eyelids of the sleeping girl, she stirred. Her arm, until now draped across her chest, flopped over the side of the bed. Her hair, in a state of dishevelled deconstruction, tickled her face yet again, and for once, it woke her up. The world, she considered, had become a lot more intrusive and a lot brighter lately. A gigantic, unexpected yawn issued from her lips and she groaned, pushing the covers off of her. She wasn't used to all this...silence. It wasn't good for her. Her eyes, a distinctive dark blue, scanned the view seen through her hotel room window, and she sighed. Was this really where you had to start? Here? In the middle of nowhere? It seemed odd to her. They said that it would do her good to get a starting pokemon, a real one, but she loved what she already had. She didn't want this. It wasn't...it wasn't her. --- The wasted playpark had perhaps been beautiful fifty years ago, she considered. Her eyes took in the rusting see-saw, the roundabout that squeaked so much it made your ears hurt and your head go all fuzzy, although Jack said that was just all the spinning. Jack was usually right about these things, and so she'd pretty much accepted his judgement on the matter, but she had her doubts. Either way, it was unusable. She was sitting on the only functioning piece of playpark in the whole area, it seemed - the good swing, the deep swing, that didn't groan or creak or wail like a mourning widow. And she'd bagsied it! She pushed back on the tarmac, launching backwards slightly before gravity brought her down, and she let the air whip her cheeks and flow through her hair and her fingers and it felt good. There was little joy for a child of Y'orek village - AJ had suffered asthma all her life, and she'd never been allowed to travel without her brother - though he always just dumped her here. Still, she liked it. It was the only time she felt nature like others did. AJ maintains to this day that she perceived them before she saw or heard them. Three boys, a few years older than her, that stopped her swing mid-flight, while she'd had her eyes closed for effect - sending her sprawling across the floor. She picked herself up with great comportment, she thought. And then she began to protest. And they just laughed in her face. The oldest one looked maybe fourteen, with very very dark black eyes and the same colour hair, cut extremely short. He probably thought it looked cool. She thought he looked like a skinhead. "What the hell are you gonna do about it, little girl?" He sneered this awful sneer that wrecked his actually not bad facial features. "But I...I was.." "You were what? You got off the swing. It's ours now." "Are you this petty, that you'd take a bloody swing from me? God knows it's hell living here, this is the only time I ever get where I don't feel crap or choke or can't breath because of all the bloody pollution. Just..just.." And then he'd pushed her back, and he had his hands on her shoulders and she could feel his breath on her cheeks, and she really wanted to cry but she wouldn't. Not in front of...this. He lunged at her, and she recoiled, and then felt.... Nothing. She opened her left eye, very very slowly, and saw him sprawled on the floor, along with his friends. She opened her right eye, and then her arms dropped from her head and she looked around with the utmost confusion. She heard a faint squeaking from nearby, and walked, very tentatively, towards a small faltering bush that'd seen better days. She looked round the bush, again as slowly as possible, and saw a Venonat, nibbling at the corner of a leaf, with a Pokeball nearby. She picked up the Pokeball, turning it around in her hands, and then jumped about a foot when a whole load of freaky red light issued from it, consuming the Venonat and returning it to the capsule. Recovering the Pokeball from the ground, where she'd dropped it, she pocketed it. Perhaps it could do some good - defend her, or whatever. ---- As it happened, Venonats were seen as weak by all the other kids at school. AJ grinned and wrinkled her nose a little as she remembered the time her Venonat had been KO'd in about five seconds by another girl's Pidgey. She smiled wryly when she remembered the glancing blow from a Bulbasaur - a Bulbasaur! - that had done so much damage to her Venonat. But she'd always V back to strength, and then came the day it was so definitely worth it. She was challenged to a Pokemon match by the most popular kid in school. Some idiot called Anthony who thought his Machoke could take down any Pokemon in the school - which, for the most part, it could. And so he had challenged her to a battle, to prove how powerful his Machoke was. They had lined up on opposite sides of the basketball pitch, his grin widening as his towering Machoke was released compared to her tiny Venonat. And V had been beaten around for a full two minutes. And then there was this glow in her eyes, and this boom, and the Machoke was flat on it's back, out cold. And she'd been so damn proud, so damn - ---- She snapped back to reality, and showered, a brief affair with the hottest setting the could find. She splashed her face to wake herself up, and packed with everything she'd need for the journey ahead - that is, her satchel full of clothes and her Pokeball - she grinned. It was time to get started. |

OOC: Well, I liked the story. That said, did you make sure to read all the rules? Have you gotten permission to start with a Venonat? I am unsure if NO RULES is still in effect, but I suspect it's not. Check with Ricardo (that's Ricardo) on this subject since he is the only admin currently active. Have him post here giving his permission for it and I'll write up a proper, In-Character response for the post! : Alright, so I just talked to Ricardo myself. NO RULES is not still in effect. Since, he didn't give you permission for it, so I'm afraid that you can't have that Venonat. Please take this opportunity to either rewrite your post without it or make it so that you lose the Venonat some way. I could do this myself, but I'm sure that you'd rather do it. Above all, read the rules. Thank you! |

Alternatively, I would suggest posting a link to this thread in this other thread, and having it graded as a freeform. Which I'll do proactively: you've earned a Level 5 Venonat of whatever gender you prefer. Just make sure to post that link. And read the rules, too. Ed: Probably need another post to get your money and all the other shiznit, though. Actually, I might as well just bypass that as well: Escape Rope (3 charges), Pokenav, and 2500z which roughly rounds out your grade. If you want. Or do the other. I won't judge. |

Could I simply do all of my posts in freeform? I've always been interested in the idea of someone who didn't start out from the lab town, because that seems like most of the trainers you meet along the way in the games. xD |

I'd say go for your life, but you might have difficulty getting a pile of freeforms graded until new supermods are promoted. I'm not around enough to take care of... anything. |
