Europe Adventure

[Matt & Vulpix]

Welcome to my RP, that I'm very proud of: EUROPE ADVENTURE.
This idea was inspired by Mario's old RP: "American Journey" (or something along those lines). I truly loved that RP.
I also want to thank Bree, who planned this with me ^^

What is this RP?
Why, it is an RP through Europe, of course! You'll battle eight gyms, each with their own strong point and their own element, all the while visiting the elusive countries of Europe.

Where do we go in this RP?
Europe, of course, but you will visit these places more specifically: Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, England, Scotland, Sweden and Greece. We might stumble across other areas, as well! Only time will tell!

Anything else that's important I should know?
If you live in Europe, please join! This will be very cool, because you can direct us when we are around where you live! Also, you can throw in your culture to the mix! If you don't live in Europe, join because you'll get to see Europe, sort of ^_^. The Role Play starts in Littleroot Town, at the Airport.

Are there any evil teams lurking in this Role Play?
Like every other role play, there are evil forces at work... but for what? You'll just have to find out!

What are the starters? Who gives them out?
Prof. Birch will give them out before we part for Europe. The plane, by the way, will land in Portugal. The starters are: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip and Pichu. We will have a maximum of 10 role players, including me. In case it overflows, I may put out other starters.

But something doesn't add up! They speak tons of different languages than English in Europe, how will we ever survive?
A beautiful invention of Prof. Birch will help us out with that... you'll have to wait and see at the Airport!

If you have a question, ASK IT!

[Satou]

Name: Blanche Tenchi
Gender: Female
Age: 12 1/2
Starter: Skath Male Bulbasaur
Description: Her hair goes almost to her waist and is blonde. She keeps it back in 2 pigtails with locks of hair in front of her ears. The locks of hair in front of her ears have multicolored ribbon twirled around them(left side is blue, right side is green) to match her eyes(right eye is green and left is is blue). She has flowers in her hair as well, 1 blue on the right and a green flower on the left. She wears a golden bell on a ribbon around her neck.
Her clothing is extremly simple. Blue shorts and a white tank-top, only over the tank top she wears a sleeveless white jacket that she slips over the t-shirt and can be bottom up below the waist with a green ribbon around her waist. She wears large white boots with white plastic wings on the side and gloves(right glove is green, left glove is blue).
[pic coming]
Personality: Very carefree and cheerful. Never lets herself get sad and usually doesn't play to win but to have fun. Puts others before herself. Loves the colors green, blue and pink.
History, if any: Was born in Goldenrod but quickly moved to Littleroot. Her family is some-what rich(Mother is a Human Doctor and Father is a Pokemon Doctor). She has no sibilings and has been friends with Matt for a couple years.
RPing Sample: Ichigo sat in her usual place at the Great Hall. She was in her usual chair ay the only table she'd ever known and staring at usual chaos. Across from her she could see the Gryffindors and Slythreins were at it again, only no one was in risk of dieing unless nasty looks killed, and the Ravenclaws were as eagar as ever before.
She groaned and stared at her half empty breakfast plate, eyes locked on her fork and attention locked in a little chamber of boredom. Why didn't she have any friends? Why didn't she have any fun? Why wasn't she allowed to snoop around in the forbbien forest? Everything fun happened where she wasn't allowed to go!!!

But Ichigo lacked a Gryffindor's bravery, far too scared to set herself out in the forest uprotected, and she lacked the brains of a Ravenclaw that might help her think up a way to protect herself. Worse yet, she didn't even have the smart tounge of a Slythrein to get someone to willingly come with her! So she was stuck with her fellow Hufflepuffs who she would never know were similar to her. The oddballs lived in Hufflepuff, not that that was bad, and she could never tell if they would get along.
With another light moan she stabbed a pancake with her fork and ate it in mild anger. She wanted to have fun!!

Mizti replied. She swooped down into the city. Everything was dead. Nothing lived. Heads and bodies were all over. People had been killed in the most gruesome ways. "Nooooo!!!" Dash ran towards a house. Well, a wrecked crushed pile of wood, to be honest. There, behind the house, was dash standing in a garden. It was beautiful. In the middle of was a carcass too yucky for words. Then, dash wimpered, "Pappa...Momma......." And then mizti noticed bloddied clothing in the middle of it all. She comforted Dash, and led him away. She then noticed something. The monster was flying away, towards Mizti's home town of Tokyo. Mizti hopped on Tabitha and was gone.

He figured if he was early, the Professor might let him study with him in future ocassions as his career as a Pokémon Doctor, like his father, developed. But for now, he wanted to become a trainer and experience the new challenges of responsibility and independence.

As the koo-koo Pidgey came chirping out the little clock doors announcing it was 8 o'clock, Mario ran to get his single-strap backpack and said his goodbyes to his parents. He wanted to leave as quickly as possible so a Pokémon was still available for him.

RPing Sample:

And right before Hades had placed his foot on the ground of the top of Olympus after he had blown up the gate, Apollo came, placed his middle and wise-finger together on his forehead, as a pose for a thought, closed his eyes and after a few seconds he spoke with a cold voice: “I predict that you will never put one foot of your torched skin on our sacred home.” Hades froze as he heard what the god of foresight said, right before the foot touched the ground, and the whole army that gave a dark cruel glow stopped moving, talking and breathing...

Suggestions: Maybe the gym rooms can be in each country's biggest monument ? Like the Belgium Gym will be in the Atomium, or such...

I'm hesitant to let you join, Tim. From your sample, you right with lots of abreviations (n, l8) and you leave out letters (of ourse!). But, if you make sure to write better (like, I don't mean perfectly, but at least drop the abreaviations) you're in! Also, please choose another starter. It's written in the first post you can't have another Pokemon then Pichu, and the Game's starters.

We have 7 (or 8) trainers. We can start right now, even if we don't have 10! ^_^ I'll open with the first post, and you guys can jump in however you like.
BTW: Sign ups are open until tomorrow; that means we may get a new (or some) trainers.

[Matt & Vulpix]

Matt Kiro awoke from his bed, awoken by the summer sun rising from its slumber. Sighing, he got out of bed and exited his room. In the lit hallway, he made his way to the bathroom to take a shower.

As he took his shower, he thought excitedly about the journey he would tackle today. He would start his Pokémon Journey today! In Europe, of all places!

He then remembered when he had been talking to Professor Birch just a few weeks ago, and that's when Professor Birch had asked him where he wanted to take his journey.

"Where do you want to journey?" Professor Birch asked the young, brown-haired fellow as they walked.

"What?" Matt replied, confused.

"In Hoenn? Johto? Kanto? The Orange Islands?" Professor Birch gave Matt some examples.

"I haven't given it much thought, to tell you the truth, professor." Matt replied, a bit ashamed.

"No worries! I was thinking of sending you to the new league, though." Birch explained, as Matt listenned attentively, "I was asked to send a few new trainers to Europe, where they would journey. It's a fantastic place, Matt, and I want to offer you to go there. Not only would you be visiting a very historical place, but at the same time, you wouldn't have the trouble of making traveling buddies!"

Matt was confused by this last statement, however was in awe by all the wonders Professor Birch was introducing quickly.

"What do you mean, without the trouble of traveling buddies?"

"Simple! I told you I was asked to send a few trainers, not just one! All of you will be sent to Europe on a plane that will depart here, in three weeks. In fact, you're the first person I've asked. I'm thinking of asking a few other locals, but I also want to get other people who live around our parts." Professor Birch explained, "So?"

Matt contemplated this for a moment. It was a brand new league, set up in a place he'd only heard about a lot in History class and in other areas. It would be a fantastic place to visit, and he would get to train Pokémon at the same time! He could do two of his dreams at once: visit the world and embark on a journey!

"I will go Professor. When do I get my starter?" Matt stated excitedly, following up with a question.

"Oh, you'll get your starter before you embark on the plane. Now, come to Littleroot Airport in three weeks, on June 25th, and bring everything you'll need, and..." Professor Birch began, informing him of various things he could bring. He had even received a brochure from Birch.

And now, today, he was going to go to the Airport, and get his starter, and embark on a plane to new beginnings. In the flyer, he had been told that the journey would bring him to Portugal, first and foremost, and then to eight other capitals of famous countries that would give him his required badges to enter the Europe Championship.

As he got out of the shower, he remembered that he would also receive a special device from Birch that would allow everyone in Europe to understand him, and for him to understand them. It sounded crazy, but he was anxious, so anxious, to get to the Airport!

After getting dressed in his usual green shorts and navy top, he ate breakfast. Only his mother, Jane, and his sister, Amy were there to say goodbye. He said goodbye to them, fighting the tears, and took his backpack. His older brothers were out in the world, doing various things.

He left his home, on the way to the Airport. He had nothing but the clothes on his back, and some supplies in his backpack. He couldn't stop smiling, he was finally going out to see the world, with his friend Blanche, he knew, and going to meet so many people: friends, he was sure, and foes as well.

He knew there was going to be foes in Europe, as well as friends. He had heard of two mysterious organisations, on the news, that were up to no good, and as it would seem, they used Pokémon. That could only mean one thing: they were out for the trainers coming to participate in the Europe League.

He was almost at the Airport now. The magnificent building stood in front of him, and he could see two planes in the back. No doubt, one of them was his. In his pocket, he had his ticket.

"One way ticket to Europe." it read.

OOC: Like it? I know it's a bit long, but I wanted to get the introduction out of the way ^^

RPing Sample: "Finally! What I've been waiting for! I'm going to be a pokemon master!!" I yelled as I jumped around outside my house.
"Katie! Please! Stop fooling around and go get your new pokemon from Proffessor Birch!"
"Okay Mom!" With that I ran off to Birch's lab. When I got there I was even more excited than before. "Hi Proffessor!"
"Oh hello Katie. I assume you're here to pick up your Mudkip."
"Yes I am. And I am sooo excited!!"
"I can tell." he chuckled as he handed me the pokeball with my Mudkip in it.
"Thanks Proffessor! Come on out Mudkip!"
"Mudkip mud!"
"How about I call you Amos?"
"Mudkip!"
"Great! Let's go! Thanks again Proffessor!!"

[Satou]

It was another summer's day. The sun was peaking over the horizon and the birds were singing their morning songs to awake Littleroot. The Tenchi family was quick to awake, since their only daughter and child was leaving them. Blanche Tenchi was 12 and a half but on her 12th birthday, only 6 monthes ago, she had been told by her mother she could start a Pokemon Journey if she wished. But Blanche refused to go. She wanted to tag along with her best friend, Matt Kiro.

About 2 monthes ago she'd been invited by Prof. Birch to start a Pokemon Journey is Europe and since Matt was going too she couldn't refuse the offer. Now it was the day of departure and her family has prepared a specila meal for her.
After taking a shower, brushing her hair and teeth, cleaning her room and packing Blanche was ready to go. The smell of freash pancakes and bacon drifted upstairs from the kitchen and the scent lured Blanche downstairs. Her house was two stories, only the second story was the attic and that was Blanche's room. She hurried down the rope ladder that led to her room, the ladder she took up almost nightly. She's probbly miss the ladder but not as much as being able to sleep at night knowing no one could get into her bedroom.

At the foot of the rope ladder were her parents, both holding back sorrowful tears but wearing proud smiles. Who wouldn't be proud of their daughter if she was going into a new league? They were extremly nervous but astill proud.
"Hello Mum! Dad!" Blanche said cheerfully as she swung her book bag over her shoulders and put her arms through the straps. Her bag was blue and had angel wings on the sides with green straps. She always dressed in white, green and blue since those were her favorite colors.
"Hello, Blanche sweety." Replied her mother, Lee Ann, with a little sniffle and fading smile. Blanche gave her mother a nervous look, expecting her to break out in tears at any second. But her mother was strong and just let Blanche go to the kitchen and take a seat.

"Blanche, we want you to be brave and strong and don't cry." Lee Ann said with another snifle and little sob. "Ok?"
"Mom, don't worry. If anything happens I'll call you." Blanche replied as she pulled a pancake onto her plate and loaded it with strawberries.
"We'll come get you if everything goes wrong." Her father added as he patted her back. "Ok?"
"Alright, Daddy. You guys just enjoy the peace and quiet for me." Blanche said with a weak smile. Were her parents really that concerned?
"Ok, Sweety. We will. You should hurry, now. Oh, and don't forget this." With a grin in her husband's direction Lee Ann took a little box out of her pocket and handed it to Blanche. The box was a sea green with a blue stars on it and in golden text it had the logo of a jewelery company.

Blanche tipped the lid and saw a little golden bell on a sapphire blue ribbon. Her mother and father looked over joyed and her father poked at a bell on his wife's neck. Blanche would never admit that she had odd parents. Her mother's bell was like a memory of their dating. When Blanche's parents met they had been about 17 and looking for a pet. They went to the pound and found a little Meowth that was very sick and likely to die. So they came every day to feed and play with the Meowth, who they later called Blanche. The cat Pokemon recieved a golden bell on a pink ribbon from Blanche's father, Tom, as a present one day. Tom and Lee Ann became good friends while playing with Blanche and started dating.
But Blanche, the Meowth, died 2 years after the two adopted her so Lee Ann always wore the bell to remember the Pokemon that had brought them together. In a way, their daughter was another memory of their first pet.

"Eh... Mom? I better get going now." Blanche said as she finished her breakfast. Her parents were acting like newly weds again. "Ok, Sweety. We love you. Got your ticket?" Lee Ann asked with a sunny smile, not as nervous anymore.
"Of course! Ok, see you! I'll call you when I get to Europe!"
"Alright, Blanche! Wear your bell!" Tom called after his daughter as she slipped out the front door, the golden bell jingling as she walked.

"Now... Where is Matt-kun? I wonder if he knows that I get to come tooooo!" She said in pure delight as she boarded a bus to the airport. She sat in the bus and stared blankly at her ticket, almost expecting it to vanish and her to wake up from a dream. She was going on an adventure and she wanted to squeel with joy.
The bus slowed to stop and she hopped off happily and turned around to wave fairwell when she spotted someone walking towards the airport.
"YAAAAAY! It's Matt-kun!" She cheered as the bus drove off. "Yay yay yaaaaay!"
She began to wave frantically, wondering if Matt would notice her standing there. Probbly not. There was a big crowd since early morning was a good time to travel and she was just one girl in the crowd. But at least she could try.

OOC: I will be going on vacation ;_; So my posts may be slow but I'll make them alot better then this one, I swear -_-"

[Sixto]

Mario Herman woke up a beautiful June 25th morning to the soothing singing of a pair Swablu on a tree outside his bedroom window. He knew this day was one of the most exciting days in his entire life. Finally, after years of begging, 14-year-old Mario would begin his journey as a Pokémon Trainer.

Mario quietly walked to his restroom, took a shower and put his white sleeveless shirt, navy-clue cargo style pants, his baseball cap worn barckwards, and his best running shoes.

He couldn't beleive the luck he had. He was chosen to be one of the first trainers to begin on a new league, the Europe Pokémon League by the one and only Professor Birch. He was grateful to have a friend like Professor Birch. Mario had encountered him the day his family moved to Littleroot Town. Being the friendly person he is, Professor Birch approached Mario as he carried a box full of clothes from the moving truck to his new house by a lake.

Professor Birch gave Mario all the necessary information, and a plane ticket to board at 8:00 leaving June 25th morning. His parents agreed because they knew how much this meant to him. Mario was kind of sad because he didn't have enough time to explore and make friends around Littleroot, but he was excited nonetheless since an adventure meant meeting new people and places.

As he packed up his thing into his single-strap backpack, he heard a honk outside by the front foor. It was his mom and dad waiting for him in the 2004 navy-blue Jaguar. Mario hurried down the stairs and into the car.

================

At the airport, Mario said his goodbyes quickly so the tears wouldn't begin. He hated goodbyes, especially since he had never left home. He knew he meant a lot to his parents since he was their only child. He finally started towards the front doors of the building and went in the two automatic sliding doors. As he went in, he stood there. He didn't know where to start or go. He was hoping someone would come up to him...

[Lucky Flareon]

Name: Lizzie Davis

Gender: Female

Age: 14

Starter: Totodile {Bubbles-Female}

Description: She has dark brown hair that is a little longer than shoulder-length. She wears it loose for the most part. She has light brown eyes; almost hazel. 4 feet 11 inches. She is wearing a white T-shirt, and blue jeans. She has on white sneakers with pink stripes, and hello kitty shoelaces that she took from her sister.

Personality: Usually kind to people, and doesn’t get annoyed easily. She doesn’t take anything seriously. She likes to be around people, although she does all right alone too. Even if she fears something, she will go through with what she wants to do.

History, if any: She lived at home in Goldenrod until she was 9 years old. In Goldenrod, she lived in a pretty big house, and her parents both had good jobs. Her mother was a nurse for humans, and her dad helped manage the finical side to Radio Tower. With their lifestyles, neither of her parents had any need for Pokemon, so they never owned one.

When she turned 9 years old, she moved to Pewter City to live with her aunt and uncle. Along with her came her 5 year old sister, Caroline. Her other sister, Julie, stayed at home. When she turned 14, she left for Pallet to get her starting Pokemon, and that’s where she is now.

RPing Sample:

Samantha was sitting in the car, ready to go to her first camp, and get her first Pokemon. She was nervous, seeing as she didn't know anyone there, but it didn't bother her too much, she would most likely make friends easily and quickly. She was more excited than anything. She had never really battled before, her parents had never been trainers, and so she hadn't really gotten to know Pokemon all that well. This was her chance to learn everything there was to learn or some of it anyways.

"Are we there yet?" Samantha asked anxiously.

"Not yet," said her mother, "but almost." (I posted this in Berri’s RP, hope that its all right.)

BTW: Sorry I took so long posting this. Oh, and I won’t be here from Sunday to Friday. (camp)

Standing there, in front of the Airport was a new beginning. But, suddenly, he heard someone yell his name.

"Matt-kun! Matt-kun!" the faint sound came.

Looking around, Matt was confused as he didn't see anyone he knew too well. True, he knew everyone in Littleroot town as it was a small town, but not anyone that would call him "Matt-Kun". There was only one person that would call him that...

"Blanche!" Matt grinned when he saw the girl fluster her name again. He ran up to her and saw that she also had a ticket to Europe, "Are you going to Europe too?"

Smiling as well, she nodded very quickly. Great! Blanche was coming too!

"I think we should go inside, before all the starters from Professor Birch are gone..." Matt said, as he pointed to the two automatic doors, "Aren't you anxious, Blanche?"

[Satou]

Blanche grinned when Matt noticed her screaming and waved her arms more then ever in hopes of being noticed. He had his ticket in his hand, she could tell that from afar, and knew who was calling his name over and over and over... He didn't seem annoyed by her screaming ethier.

"I can't wait! I hope I get a Bulbasaur." She said cheerfully as she followed him into the airport. The morning air was ok but the crowds were pushing her around like a sack of potatoes and she hated being in big crowds like this one. She could barely hear Matt's voice over the laugther and good-byes of the crowd!
"Ok... I think we need to check-in first, right? Or has that already been done?" She said softly as she pulled Matt forcefully into the semi-quiet building. She didn't care if he wanted to stand outside. He was inside now.

"I've gotta call mum and dad when I get to Europe. Those worry warts...."

[Sixto]

Mario sat on a waiting chair next to a man who was reading the Littleroot Morning Newspaper. He noticed a girl and a boy greeting each other holding smilar tickets to the one he had. He thought about going over to them and asking them if they were going to the Europe League too, but he was too embarrassed. He didn't know anyone around town since he had just moved in 2 days ago, so that certainly would be a problem. Nothing else to do but wait...

[Matt & Vulpix]

"I hope I get a Chikorita! I read a book about grass types and they seem so cool!" Matt said, as they passed the airport automatic doors. Once inside, everything seemed more calm. It seemed that all goodbyes were done outside the airport as opposed to inside.

Matt's eyes were caught by a shiny ticket much like his and Blanche's over by another boy. He seemed to be waiting for the plane too.

"He must be going to Europe too." Matt told Blanche, pointing at him.

"Don't point! It's rude!" Blanche replied, tapping his hand, "Let's go and check in!"

"Oh, right!" Matt said.

They went over to the counter and talked to an employee.

"The plane's checked and ready to go. The plane is leaving at ten past nine, but please stay in the airport facility. Professor Birch will be stopping by at around eight thirty to give out starters to those going to Europe. Please take a seat, or walk around if you'd wish." she said, sounding like a machine dishing out information. She seemed very, very tired.

"Let's going and talk to that kid over there! I think he's going to Europe too..." Matt said, as he walked over to the kid. He hoped Blanche was following him, or else he'd look stupid.

[Satou]

Blanche giggled in delight at the thought of making a new friend and hurried off after Matt.If he thought he'd look silly without her then perhaps they hadn't known eachother long enough.
Rather eagarly she walked off after him with a huge smile on her face and her ticket in a pocket. When the two finally reached Mario she stopped and waved in greeting.

"Konnichi wa. Watashi Tenchi Blanche. What's your name?" She asked in her usualy cheerful manner as she dipped her head low in a formal bow of greeting.

[Sixto]

"H-Hello" Mario said trying not to sound too nervous. He would always get nervous when meeting new people, but he knew once he got to know them, he became good friends with them. He really wanted friends now more than ever and these two seemed to be nice people, I mean they did come up to him and said hi. "Are you going to the Europe Pokémon League too?" Mario finally asked them both.

[Matt & Vulpix]

"I'm Matt! Why don't you reveal your name?" Matt asked, shaking the guy's hand. He looked awfully nervous; like Matt before he met Blanche a few years ago. Now, he wasn't nervous that much.

"Yeah, we're both going to the Europe League! Are you?" Blanche asked before Matt had the chance.

[Sixto]

"O-uh sorry, my name is Mario, Mario Herman" he said shaking the boys hand. He was already beginning to feel confident around them.

"Yeah, I'm going to the European League too, but I don't know how to get started?"

[Satou]

"Hmmm? Well, it's nice to meet you, Herman-kun. I don't know where to start but you can come find out with us." Blanche said happily as she let her gaze sweep the large room. she didn't see any huge, neon signs with 'Sign-Up Here' in flashy red letters or even a sign that said "COME HERE". She had a terrible sense of direction too, so didn't know where in Hoenn she was to start.

"Matt-kun and I have been friends for a long time and it'd be nice if you'd travel with us!" She said quickly, not wanting to lose a chance to make a friend. It was always nice to have friends.

[Sixto]

"Really? Do you really mean it?" Mario said as his eyes flew wide open with excitement.

"I would love to travel around with you guys!" Mario accepeted the offer he couldn't refuse.

[Karisuma-Teichou]

-He just about riped the clock out of the wall trying to turn it off and look at the time. He rolled out of bed as the clock read 9:30am. He droped the clock on the floor and walked into the bathroom. He stuck his head in the shower and wet his hair down. He walked over to the sink and ran his hands through his hair. He pulled out a comb and combed his hair and then pulled out some gel and spiked his hair. He brushed his teeth and wlaked back into his room and got dressed, His favorite shirt and pants. He grabed his shades and backpack and went downstairs. Both of his parents were already gone he just grabed a bag of chips and left to go see Prof. Birch. Just as he walked into the Lab he woundered what Pokèmon to pick.-

''Hello Shane I've been woundering when you were going to come.''

-He jerked his head you not relizeing it and looked at Prof. Birch. He rubed his eyes and then looked around.-

''Oh uhh yeah...I kinda over selpt...my bad. So what's this trip you told me about.''

''Yeah right...almost forgot about that. I'm sending you and a small group of trainers to Europe for a new adventure.''

-He handed a ticket for a one way trip to Europe to Shane and then pointed to the groupe of Pokèballs sitting on the table.-

''You also need to choose a Pokèmon to take with you on your trip.''

-He took the ticket from Prof. Birch and stuck it in his pocket and then walked over to the table and picked up on of the balls and opened it up. Out poped Cyndaquil. He looked at it and smiled and then recalled it.-

''I'll take this one.''

-He walked outside as Prof. Birch fallowed behind him. He waved good-bye to Prof. Birch. He walked to the Littleroot Airport tossing the Pokèball up in the air. He held onto it as he walked into the airport. He looked around and noticed that some of the trainers where already here. He woundered if they were going on the same trip as him.-

[Matt & Vulpix]

OOC: shane, we're supposed to get our Pokemon at the Airport. But that's okay. We'll just say that you got yours before because uh./.. we'll figure it out! ^_^

--

Matt suddenly saw someone walk in. He was looking at Matt, Blanche and Mario.

"Well, the lady said to wait for eight thirty... then Professor Birch will give us our Pokémon. She also said that we leave at ten past nine... which is soon, I guess. We'll get to meet other trainers going to Europe!" Matt exclaimed, "What should we do while we wait? Meet the others? Or even find them...'

[Satou]

Blanche's eyes seemed to light up when MArio accepted and she jumped up and down a few times. "YAAAY! Now we've got a friend! YAY YAY YAAAAAAY!"
She paused for a momment, spotting Shane out of the corner of her eye, and turned around so she could have to him. Was this another chance to make a friend?

[perfectpichu]

"Oh man! I am so excited!" I yelled as I grabbed my knapsack and ran down the stairs for breakfast, "I can't believe I'm finally going to becoma a pokemon trainer! And go to Europe at the same time!"
"Good morning Katie."
"He mom."
"I see you're excited."
"You bet!" I sat down and started eating a plate of pancakes.
"You're growing up so fast. It seems like it was only yesterday that you were just being toilet trained."
"Oh mom, please don't go into that whole potty training story. Besides, I have to go to the airport to catch the plane to Europe."
"Okay, well, I guess you should get going." she said sadly. She walked over to me and kissed me on the cheek and gave me a large hug. "Be safe."
"I will mom."
"And try to make as many friends as possible. Oh and call me as soon as you get there."
"I will mom. And I will find my brother. And when I do, you will be the first to know."
"Oh Katie." I could tell from her voice that she was afraid that he would never be found. But I knew that he was out there. I could feel it.
"Goodbye mom." I grabbed my portable scooter and rode off to the airport. When I got there, I saw two boys and a girl talking to each other. I folded up my scooter and ran over.
"Hey!" I called happily, "My name's Katie. Are you all going to Europe too?" I was happy that I wasn't going alone. And the fact that I'm going to make three friends before we even get on the plane.

[Matt & Vulpix]

"Hi Katie! I'm Matt! This is Mario, and that's Blanche over here. We're all going to Europe!" Matt said, showing her his shiny ticket, "Are you going to Europe too? To participate in the new league?"

Blanche, however, seemed to be in a trance when she saw Katie and Shane at once.

"She must be really happy we're meeting so many people." Matt thought and smiled, "I am too. I can see us all having a blast in Europe."

He looked at Blanche and smiled.

[Satou]

Blanche's eyes grew wider and she just stared at Katie. "Yaaay... More people!" She said cheerfully to Katie.
"You're going to Europe too? Awesome!" She was about to declare a group hug but decided that at the momment it was best not to do such a thing. After all, Katie might not want a hug.

[perfectpichu]

I laughed a bit at this. "You bet I'm going to Europe! It's nice to meet all of you!" I said happily, "So, what pokemon are you thinking of getting? I would love to get a Mudkip! It's fun. It's cute. You just have to love it!" I was still hyper as ever. I just wanted to keep on talking, getting to know all three of my new friends.

[Matt & Vulpix]

Matt saw Blanche have her "Group Hug" eyes and laughed quietly.

"Okay, so far, Mario, Blanche, Katie and I have tickets for Europe... and in twenty minutes, Birch is giving away starters!" Matt said excitedly, "And that guy over there looks like he's going to Europe, too, but he hasn't spoken to us yet."

Hearing Katie's question, Matt said, "I want to get a Chikorita. Grass Pokémon seem fascinating, and Chikorita is just so cute!"

How fun! Matt thought about the whole trip. He knew it was going to be quite eventful. After all, they were going to be some of the first people in this new league.

[Satou]

"I want a Bulbasaur." Blanche said cheerfully, looking almost as if she were daydreaming.
"Daddy had one as his starter Pokemon... It was so kawaii and sugoi... I really really want one too... Plus it's very mysterious, even though it wasd the first Pokemon discovered there are many mysteries about it."
She then paused and looked at Katie with a grin. "I like Mudkip too, but I perferred Bulbasaur because I like mystery."

[perfectpichu]

"Cool! Chikorita is really cute as well! A great choice indeed Matt! And another good choice Blanche! I agree! Bulbasaur is a pretty mysterious pokemon. Yay! Another Mudkip fan! Personally, I think all pokemon are all kyousei! I hope I can capture an Eevee! It is so kawaii! So, is this your first time away from home? It is for me. And my mom is so worried about me that she wants me to call her every week! So what about all of you?"


OOC: Talk about a chatter-box. :tongue: :lol:

[Karisuma-Teichou]

OOC:My bad I just I forgot about that.

-He held onto his Pokèball as he walked over to thr group of people. He was woundering how many trainers were going to go on this adventure. He sorta raised his hand as he made his way over to the group.-

''Hey guy's! Is it just me or are we all going to Europe togather!?''

[Satou]

"Wow! Same thing for my mom! Kyousei? Hey! There's a character named Kyou in my favorite anime! I like Chickerita and Mudkip too but I think I'll get Bulbasaur! Do you guys like ice cream? Maybe there's a place to get ice cream nearby!" Blanche seemed to never shut up but finally took a breather to wait for Katie's reply.

[perfectpichu]

"I love ice cream! It's umai!" I said as I licked my lips, "I would love to have some now!" I then heard someone calling us. I turned to see a boy running towards us.
"Hello there! Yeah, we're all going to Europe. My name's Katie. What's yours?" I asked the boy.

[Matt & Vulpix]

"Hi Shane! Yeah, it seems we're all going to Europe. It'd be awsome if we all travelled as a unit, you know?" Matt said to Shane. He then turned his attention to Blanche and Katie and said, "Yeah, we are all getting really good Pokémon!"

Shane, Katie, Blanche, Mario and Matt were already a dynamic group. He could tell that they would be great friends right to the finals. They would support each other and have fun together.

"I wonder who else is coming to Europe!" Matt brought a new topic to the table.

OOC: If you want, someone can bring in Professor Birch to give the Pokémon. To speed it up a little. Don't worry, I'll give time for everyone to get their starter. The plane won't leave without anyone!

[Karisuma-Teichou]

-He looked at Katie and gave her a half smile.-

''Hey Katie...I'm Shane.''

-He looked at see if anyone else had there Pokèmon witch they didn't so he tryed to hide the fact that he already got his before anyone else.-

[perfectpichu]

"Okay then Shane. Hmm? What's that behind your back? Is that a pokeball? Did you get your pokemon already? That is so ikasu! What one did you get?" I just loved being nosey. I didnt mind that Shane got his pokemon before me. I just wanted to get one. I rarely ever get jealous of others so I was just really happy that someone got theirs already.


OOC: Real nice attitude. :tongue: :lol:

[Karisuma-Teichou]

''Oh uhhh....I uhh already got my Pokèmon from Prof. Birch before I left this morning.''

-He pulled the Pokèball back out from his pocket and dusted off the pocket lent and pointed it at an open spot. Out poped Cyndaquil again. Cyndaquil streched and looked at everyone and squeaked.-

''I got a Cyndaquil! I wasn't really sure what one I would pick.''

-Cyndaquil rubbed his head and then walked over as I scooped him up and petted him.-

[Matt & Vulpix]

OOC: Okay, not complaining, but if you use a japonese word, please say what it means. It's getting confusing, LOL.
IC
---

"You didn't get a Pokémon before us, did you? Huh?" Matt joked around in a macho attitude, "Even if you did, no biggie! Birch is coming soon... In fact, I see him right now!"

I pointed to a man in a white lab coat. He was walking near where there was a sign reading "Flight 224". He set up a table and put several Pokéballs on it, and smiled when he saw Matt, Blanche, Katie, Mario and Shane.

"Yay! He's finally here! Maybe we can get our Pokémon!" Matt shouted, with a huge smile. He couldn't contain his excitement!

[perfectpichu]

OOC: Oh sorry Matt. ^_^;


IC: "Aww! That Cyndaquil is so amai!(sweet)" I then looked over to where Matt was pointing, "Cool! We can finally get our pokemon! Let's go!" I jumped up and down then ran over to Professor Birch. "Hello Professor." I said as a gave a quick bow, "I am so yukai(happy)! Could I have a Mudkip?!"
"Of coarse Katie." he said cheerfully as he handed me a pokeball.
"Alright! Come on out Mudkip!" I threw the ball into the air and released my Mudkip. At once it started dancing around. (a perfect match don't you think?)
"Hmm... How about I call you Amos?"
"Mudkip mud!"
"Great!" I picked up Amos and placed her on my shoulder. "This is going to be so fun!"

[Matt & Vulpix]

Matt followed Katie with intent.

"Hi Matt! What Pokémon would you like?" Professor Birch asked Matt.

"Well, do you have Chikorita? Because that's the Pokémon that I wan!" Matt exclaimed.

"Sure! Here you go." Professor Birch said, handing him a Pokéball with two leaves around the dot that released the Pokémon.

"Go Chikorita!" Matt yelled after taking the Pokéball and sending it. A yellow creature came out, with a necklase of leaves.

"Chika!" Chikorita said happily.

"It's a female." Professor Birch said.

"Okay. Chikorita, I'll call you Joan!" Matt said, thinking about the perfect name.

"Chika! Chika!" Chikorita exclaimed, happy about her name.

[Crossfire Chaos]

*Is Used my bike and rode over to the airport, spotting Birch and a group of kids and some starter pokes, I guess they where on the same flight.*

"Birch! BIRCH, Did You get my Dynamo for me?"

"Yes I did Jack, So are you going to give me the money?"

*Hands Birch 10,000z*

"There ya go Birch, 10,000 Zenny just like you asked for the Pichu."

*Birch handed me a Jet Black pokeball with lightning desines.*

"I'm Sorry Jack ,but I had to catch it in a Stronger Pokeball so that it would contain him."

"Thats okay Birch, I don't care I was going to let him sit on my shoulder anyway. So..."

*Turns to the other Kids*

"So you guys are Going on the Trip too?"

[Matt & Vulpix]

"Why did you have to pay for your Pokémon?" Matt asked the boy who had just talked to them, "And yes, we are all going for our journey in none other than Europe!" he grinned.

"Oh, and kids, when you take a Pokémon, don't forget to take your Pokémon Navigator and your Pokédex! And 3000 Euros to get you started, of course." Birch said, showing an array of things on the table.

Matt quickly grabbed the two devices and 3000 Euros.

[Sixto]

OOC: Hey guys, sorry for not being here in hours. It looks like I've missed out on a lot. For what I can understand, people are already getting their starters. Correct if I'm wrong Matt, I want to get caught up before I post anything.

[Karisuma-Teichou]

-He walked back over to Prof. Birch and money and two items that he didn't pick before he got there. He jamed everything in his pocket as he held Cyndaquil. He then held Cyndaquil up in the air and looked at him trying to figgure out a good nickname.-

''Uhhhh...well how does Declan sound to you Cyndaquil!?''

-Cyndaquil squirmed and squeaked with a smile on his face for aprovel.-

''Well then Declan it is.''

-He looked at everyone waiting for them to get ready to board the plane.-


OOC: By the way...yeah I know it's kinda of a weird nickname. It kinda fits in with the whole thing because Declan is Irish...I don't remember what for...and it's Shane's son's name. xDD ^_^ Whoooooo YAY! -Sips Dr. Pepper.-

[Matt & Vulpix]

OOC: It would be good for Role Players to try and read all posts before posting again. IF you dont have the time, then at the limit, browse the posts but at least get the essentiels out. Or else you might post something that is inconsistent. Yes, Birch is set up and giving starters.

[Sixto]

After everyone had gotten their starter, it was finally Mario's turn to choose one of his own.

"Well hello there Mario, glad you could make it" Professor Birch greeted Mario as he came to the counter. "What starter would you like?"

"I would like a Male Charmander please" Mario said.

"Excellent choice" the Professor said as he gave a shiny red and silver sphere with a small button in the center.

"Thanks" Mario said as he gazed a the ball excitedly after he had it in his hands.

Mario pressed the button and white shimmering light shot out of the ball slowly trasfroming itself into the shape of a small orange lizard.

«Charmander» the cute lizard said.

"Hey there Charmander" Mario said patting the small Pokémon's head. As Mario stared at his very first Pokémon, he noticed the flame on its tail.

"Wow, you're tail is cool, I think I'll call you Blaze"

"That sounds like a perfect name, Mario" the Professor said as he looked at both Mario and Blaze. "You know Mario, you could tell how strong and healthy a Charmander and its evolutions are by its tail. it's the source of their power. If it was ever to burn out, it can mean serious danger. Its tail is normal now, its at a low level which means more time for you to train and bond with him. Now that you're all set, you can get your Pokémon Navigator, Pokédex and 3000 Euros."

Mario took both things, stuck them in his back pack, and carried Charmander into where the other trainers were at. He recognized two familiar faces from before, Matt and Blanche. He decided to walk up to them.

"Hey guys, what Pokémon di you get?"

[Karisuma-Teichou]

-He held up Declan his new Cyndaquil he got before he go to the airport.-

''I got a Cyndaquil. I actully didn't really know what one to pick. His name Declan.''

-He looked as everyone else showed off their new Pokèmon they just got.-

[Crossfire Chaos]

"I have to pay because Birch already gave me my starter a long time ago, and because you can only get one from each professor I had to pay for one of his Pokemon, This will be my 5th League, and since it's in a whole different place I have chosen to restart with only a newborn pokemon."

*Jack gets his backpack opens it and shows off his 28 badges.*

[Ruben]

OOC: OW NO !!! I totally forgot about this rp !!! IM SOOO SORRY !! This will never happen again. Can somebody tell me where you are right now? I'll get RP-ing RIGHT away. Sorry :redface:

- Ruben V.

[Karisuma-Teichou]

OOC: Where all at the airport getting our starters form Prof. Birch. Nothing really.

[perfectpichu]

I walked over to the table to grab the two devices and the money. I then turned my attention to the kid with the Charmander.
"Hey my name's Katie. This is my Mudkip, Amos." I said as I lifted Amos from my shoulder and held her in my arms, "So, what's your name?" I was really happy that I was making friends so quickly.

[Matt & Vulpix]

OOC: Yes, at the airport. We just met each other and Birch is giving away Euros, Pokededxes, Pokenavs and Pokemon ^_^
---

"I got this really cute Chikorita!" Matt exclaimed hugging his new Pokémon. He'd been waiting for this for a really long time. He knew that participating in this league would be the beginning of his "Pokémon Training Journey", which he'd hope would last a long time.

"Well, that's fun! Dynamo seems to be a cool Pokémon... I didn't catch your name, though!" Matt replied to the man that was boasting his twenty-eight badges.

[Karisuma-Teichou]

-He wasn't going to boast about how he did on all the rest of his journeys. He rather show then tell. He held on to his Cyndaquill as he waited for eveyone else to get ready. He nodded to Katie about the comment about Declan.-

''I'm ready to go when ever.''

-Not trying to rush anyone but, he had been for awhile and wanted to get the trip on the road.-

[Ruben]

OOC: Eum... Well, I'll try and get in. Tell me if I'm wrong.

HE COULDNT BELIEVE IT!

He overslept the day the journey of his life started! This would not only be important for his pokémon carrier, but this would inflict great changes in his past, present and future.
He sat on his scooter, driving with top speed over the semi-busy road and he firmly grabbed the handles. He was about half way there. The reason for his lateness started yesterday, when he received his results from school. And his mother was truly furious once she saw that Ruben had flunked for Latin. But he couldn’t help it; he was so excited, thinking of this journey that could explain everything he ever wanted, that he couldn’t study right. And on the test day he had a fatal black-out. But not only that, but if you flunk your most important course, than you must re-do the whole school year. Although the teachers said this could be solved in summer school, he refused it. He had no time for school and it was impossible doing that during his journey. But his mother commanded that he must and would go to summer school. He was locked in his room, told to study the whole evening, but instead of that he prepared himself for the journey.

His plan was to escape, during the sunset, out of his window and immediately drive to the air-port. But of course, as Murphy once said: ‘Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong…’ And indeed, it went wrong. For once he tried to open his window; he saw that his mother had locked it. And it would attract too much attention if he smashed it open while his parents were below. So he had to wait until his parents were gone to their jobs and then he had the opportunity to open the window by giving it a sudden kick. Easily going down since there was a tree right next to his window and slowly climbed down, encountering a home of peaceful sleeping squirrels, wishing that it could be the same. Once down he ran to his scooter under the self-built porch from his father and slowly- not trying to wake up the neighbours- leaving the city.

He now finally arrived but had no time to park his scooter and just simply pushed it out of sight, quickly closing it with a lock and laid the key in his right pocket. He couldn’t wait for the slowly automatic doors of the air-port to open themselves and helped them by a firm push. Running to the information desk and with great speed asked the place where the others were. And with his great relieve he heard that they didn’t leave yet. Putting down a quick thanks and running harshly over the stone cold floor, then suddenly realising –in all this commotion- that he forgot to put on his shoes. Full of embarrassment and staring faces he arrived at the place where the others were…

OOC: Now can somebody pleas say that they see me or something… So then I know what I should do next. Thank you. I hope this was good, it took a long time.

- Ruben V.

[Matt & Vulpix]

Joan started to suddenly to react to someone.

"Chika! Chika!" the Chikorita shouted, seeing a boy without shoes.

"Hey! Are you going to Europe? Without your shoes?" Matt joked and laughed, "No biggie, I'm sure Professor Birch has some shoes he can lend to you."

OOC: Shane, I at least want all the RPers to make a post in the airport and get their starter. Then we can go on the plane. If they don't by tomorrow, we'll they can consider themselves out...

[Sixto]

As Mario told Matt and Blanche about the Charmander he had just received, there was a sudden noise coming from the PA:

Passengers traveling to Africa, please board Plane 1 on exit 3A, I repeat, Passengers traveling to Africa, please board Plane 1 on exit 3A. Plane 2 will leave to Europe in approximately 30 minutes. Thank You and have a nice trip»

At this announcement, Mario couldn't wait even more to get there. He just hoped all the trainers would get to the Airport on time.

[Matt & Vulpix]

OOC: Lina (Jolteon) and Lizzie (Lucky) need to arrive at the airport. We'll wait to tomorrow, and if they aren't there by then, then we'll 'bunny' them onto the plane since we already know what starters they want.
--

"Oh! That's right, I almost forgot! Everyone take one of these!" Professor Birch said, handing everyone a yellow orb.

"What's this Professor?" Blanche asked, looking at the orb.

"It's a Languater. It lets you understands all the European languages, and lets all Europeans understand our English. It has an ON/OFF button, if you want to test out how well you know their language, if you want." Professor Birch explained.

"Makes sense, as we'd be in trouble if we were in Europe without this!" Matt laughed as he turned it on.

"Just keep it in your bag, or your pocket. It will translate right into your mind." Professor Birch explained.

Matt put it in his backpack, hoping he wouldn't lose it.

--

OOC: Bare with me, as this isn't realistic. However, I do hope it works! LOL.

[Crossfire Chaos]

OOC: D*** I forgot that I'm leaving to go to Florida tomarrow, I guess I won't be able to Post.... I guess that I'll just have to be bunnied or somethin'

[Ruben]

OOC: Thank you matt, for seeing me ;) And ow ye, I'm also (of course) going away this vacation, but that is not until 2 weeks or so :wink:

Ruben gulped loudly and looked straight trough the ground as he saw a boy pointing out his shoeless feet. ‘Ugh. I hope you are not going to make jokes about that during the whole trip. So, nice to MEAT you and SPANK you very much -_-‘
Ruben then turned around and looked at the professor standing there who was surprised to see him there. Shoeless and whet from the rain outside. ‘Pleas, professor, I know, so no more things about it…’ The prof smirked, grabbed his trunk and got out some new sparkling shoes. ‘0.0 Yey… Now I’m a gangster -_-‘
The professor couldn’t help it and uttered a laugh. ‘I just hope my pet doesn’t see me like this.’ He said, glaring with fearful eyes at the shoes…

- Ruben V.

[perfectpichu]

I walked over to the Professor to get yet another item.
"I would love to test this out!" I then started speaking in Italian to see if it would translate it. "Ciao. Questo favore sua il migliore tratto a secondo!"
The devise translated it to "Hello. This will be the best trip ever!" Everyone started to look at me strangely.
"Well, that's pretty much all I know in that language. I only learned the basics." I then looked at the guy that recently walked in. "Woah, funky sneakers dude! Let me guess, you were in such a rush that you forgot to put on your shoes, so you had to get a pair from the Professor, right? Don't worry. I won't bug you about it. So, what's your name man?"

[Crossfire Chaos]

OOC: BOOYEAH! I just found out that the hotel we are in has internet access at a very cheap price... NOTHING, Nada, NOT A CENT!

IC:
*I heard another girl talking in Spanish.*

"Show off..." I muttered

*I see the guy everyone is talking about.*

"So your first time on a jorney? You look just like Ash when he started out for the first time, exept he was in his pajamas and was so late he had to get Pikachu because he was late."

*I Hear the Intercom*

"Everyone boarding Plane 2 to Europe please get into the boarding area and prepare to board your flight."

*Birch starts to walk to the desk at the beging of the walkway to the plane, he talks to the Lady and gestures for the Pokemon trainers to step forward and give her their tickets*

"Have a nice flight, Bye." She says when she finnishes scanning my ticket.


"Bye." and I take my stuff and get onto the plane, which had T.Vs!

[Matt & Vulpix]

OOC: Lizzie and Lina: You will be already on the plane with all your stuff. I know Lizzie is at camp, so that's fine ^_^ THe plane lands in Portugal by the way.

"Hola!" Matt started to speak spanish. His mind automatically translated it to hello, "Works like a charm!"

"Time to board the plane little ducklings..." Birch said to us all, except the boy that had run onto the plane without even telling us his name.

Smiling, me and Blanche recalled our Pokemon and boarded the plane. We sat side by side on the plane, which had just about ten seats.

[Sixto]

Mario took the yellow sphere Professor Birch had given him and spoke to it; "Hola, ¿Como estas?" The machine translated it «Hello, How are you?» Mario then put the orb in his backpack and prepared to bard the plane.

He saw two empty seats in the far back corner. He decided to get the window seat, which he always liked getting. He like to view the scenery around him. As he past throught the lane of seats, he waved to Blanche and Matt seating side by side. He put his backpack next to him in the empty seat and took out his portable TV. He plugged the earphones on and installed the Cable Chip which allowed him to view over 500 channels! Then, he just waited...

[Ruben]

“Ruben is the name.” he said elegantly bowing to the girl asking but then immediately looked with hateful eyes to the boy that had just laughed at him. “-_- Ik hoop dat je uit het vliegtuig valt…” He said pretty cool since the other one wasn’t able to understand it and suddenly there was a voice out of a box from the professor, it was coming from a yellow sphere: “I hope that you fall of the plain…” Ruben couldn’t believe it; the professor had some sort of translator and mumbled a few insults in his language.
“Ugh, fine then. Let’s get his journey started. I’m taking the seat that is infr-” but he was brutally interrupted by professor Birch: “And your pokémon?...” Of course, there was he standing again, embarrassed as a fool… “For your information, professor, my dad gave me my own pokémon, so I would appreciate it if you dropped the subject.” He said, rather harsh, to Birch, who quickly responded: “But… That is not in the rules, your pokémon must be a basic pokémon, that has not ye-” and now was it Ruben’s time to interfere: “Yes old man, of course.”
This was not a smart thing to say, for professor Birch wasn’t going to forget that easily…

[LolJolteonMaster]

You guys started without me! Stink do you all! What happening?

[Matt & Vulpix]

OOC = As much as possible try to read everything. Right now, we're boarding the plane. Don't forget your Starter, Pokedex Pokenav and Languater from Birch! ^^

[Satou]

Blanche hurried after Matt, her eyes just as wide with joy as ever. She was about to start a Pokemon Journey, something she'd longed to start for 2 years, and she was going with her best friend! Not to mention all the wonderful people who were also coming.
"I feel like a Princess!" She said happily as she followed. "This is so cool. Like a Fairy Tale."

OOC: Wh00t! I can come online almost daily until we leave to P.E.I(an island that has no internet). ^_^

[perfectpichu]

I heard the kid that had not stated his name call me a show off. I gave a quick scoul then went back to being my happy self. I then heard Ruben being a jerk to Professor Birch.
"Dang," I thought, "People are sure being jerks lately."
I walked onto the plane with Amos on my shoulder, and looked for a seat. I saw Matt and Blanche sitting next to each other. I decided to sit across the aisle from them.
"So," I said to them, "What are you two into?" I hoped to get into a large conversation that might last a while.

[Ruben]

Birch looked with eyes of fierceness to Ruben and shoved him 2 sorts of red small beeping devices in his hands. The professor then looked with an irritated face to him, pretending like he was better: “I don’t think an old man needs to explain how a pokédex and pokénav works?!”
Ruben looked strangely to the two machines; he of course knew how a pokédex works, because he had seen it many times before, altough this pokénav… But he was sure that he would discover it during his journey. Ruben saw the others run to the airplane and decided to go after them, but right before he left he again turned around to Birch and said: “Sorry…” and then ran along with the others for the adventure that would change all...

OOC: Someone can reply any time now....

[Matt & Vulpix]

Everyone [OOC: including people who haven't RPed yet] had boarded the plane, and Professor Birch came for one last word.

"Have fun in Europe! Don't forget to take pictures, to visit the sights, and train your Pokémon, all the while having fun! The plane lands in Portugal, and I believe your first gym is in Madrid, Spain. There are cameras in the plane under every seat so that you can take as many pictures as you want!" he said.

Everyone was awed at how much they had already received: a Pokedex, a PokeNav, a Languater, a camera, 3000 Euros and a starter.

The plane took off and everyone got to know each other. They were the only people in the plane, apart from the pilot. Suddenly, on all the TVs, the news came on.

"Team Bark and Team Nyo have been recently seen robbing stores all over Europe!" the female anchorwoman exclaimed, "Before, they used to only rebel, but now, it seems that they are training Pokémon ever since they came to Europe! These two Pokémon associations have recently claimed they will steal Pokémon from the few trainers starting out in Europe, and all the ones coming. Although under 100 are coming, this means danger for not only them, but every Europian!"

This had taken everyone by surprise. They'd all heard of Team Aqua, Team Magma and Team Rocket, but these two teams, Team Bark and Team Nyo, seemed as or more dangerous. Matt wondered what they wanted with Pokémon.

"They haven't been in Europe for long, but they've robbed stores all over. Now, it seems they are staking out in Spain to find the new trainers and steal from them, all the while fighting each other. Team Bark uses dog-like Pokemon, whereas Team Nyo uses Cat-like Pokemon... Their goals are still in the dark from the public, but we now know..." she continued, "They are in Europe, and they aren't leaving until they got what they want."

Matt gulped along with Blanche and Lizzie.

[perfectpichu]

I got a worried look on my face after I heard the announcement, but quickly brought back my smile.
"No need to worry. We can take them. We just have to work together! Right?" I asked Matt and Blanche.

[Matt & Vulpix]

"I guess," Matt said, not convinced, "but if we all band together, I don't see why not!"

Matt thought about Chikorita, and all the other Pokemon he'd get in Europe. It would be fun to destroy the two teams.

[Sixto]

As Professor Birch entered the plane, Mario took off his headphones. He had re-called Charmander and placed him next to him on the empty seat. They both listened to the news on the TV screen on the back of the seat in front of them.

"Don't worry Blaze, we will take them out!" Mario said as he looked down at his Charmender who was a little confused.

<Char?>

[Ruben]

OOC: Its not 3000 euros but 3000 euro, just correcting a minor mistake ^-^; Sorry…

IC:

Ruben carefully listened to the women talking, saying the things about Team Bark and Team Nyo. As soon as she was finished Ruben talked to (OOC: somebody can response and say that she is it) the girl in front of him: “But… Dog and cat pokémon?! Then they must be enemies from each other.” He wondered, talking to the girl who didn’t response and thus Ruben laid his arms on his chair and slowly dropped himself in the nice comfortable seat. He closed his eyes, meaning to rest, but immediately opened them as the idea sprung in his head…
‘Had those teams to do anything with my past?!...’

[Satou]

OOC: Fwahahaha >_>;; Sry that I haven't RPed much.
IC: Blanche made quiet whimpering sounds and looked around despratly for some source of comfort. She was trembling all over already.
"Matt-kun... Do you think Team Bark and Nyooo are gonna hurt us?" She murmered quietly as she hugged her bookbag. "Maybe we'll be lucky and never meet them."

[perfectpichu]

OOC: I know I'm not Matt but....


IC: I leaned over to Blanche, put my hand on her shouldner and said, "Don't worry Blanche. If they try and hurt either us or our pokémon, then we will fight together to defeat them. They won't be able to take on all of us at once."

[Crossfire Chaos]

*The news had finished and Jack was stunned ,but quickly put on a plain look so nobody knew how shocked he was.*

'Two others? It was bad enough with the Fights between Magma and Aqua, but Cats and Dogs? They're Mortal enimies!' thinks Jack

"Good thing that we have a few experinced trainers to help with this trip, because I'm betting we will have more than a Few run-ins with those teams...."
