Welcome to Era, a once-prestigious kingdom, and now a mere shadow of its former glory. Rebel forces have dethroned the monarchy, aiming now to bring down the nobility. Ambitious Nobles meanwhile vie for power, though others simply wish to keep what they have. Others are Loyalists, believing some former-royalty could end this anarchy. Then there those who see a prime opportunity, and others who don't care at all. Some form Gangs, fighting for personal gain or unique causes, while others are more interested in the resurfacing of Shadow Pokemon. And naturally, there are those who just want to ignore everything and live their personal lives. There are no clear lines in Era.
Where in this chaos do you fall?

Name:Jacob Stone | Age: 45 | Gender: Male | Player:Dare
Jacob was destined to lead his family's buisness with high hopes of wealth and glory... which were cut short by the unexpected pregnancy of his then-girlfriend. While "there" for his son until the boy grew up, Jacob largely turned away from responsibility and instead focused on his new job... with the Rebels. Today, he is extremely high within their ranks.
Name:Sofia Brooke | Age: 13| Gender: Female | Player:Elayne
Though technically a teenager, Sofia acts notably younger, retaining an eternal childlike innocence. She never runs out of energy, and loooves to talk to everyone, though the recent bombings have humbled her a bit. When her best friend Harvey ran away from home, Sofia decided an adventure with him sounded fun, and has been on the road ever since.
T H R E A D
Homeward Bound -------------------
While on the way to visit her brother, Justice lets her Togekiss take a break in the Tanglethorne Jungle and is greeted on ground-level by Seles and her Ditto, Duke, who has taken the form of a human. They introduce themselves and, as the conversation continues, Justice tells the woman where she's going, which prompts Seles to mention that she, like Justice's brother, is also a knight!
As the weather starts to pick up in an uncharacteristic snowstorm, the group looks for cover and finds a small hut in which they can take shelter and set up camp. Seles tries to make it more comfortable by releasing her Arcanine, which causes long-supressed memories from Justice's childhood to start coming back. While she is able to quell them at first, they prove too much and the girl eventually breaks down from her fear of fire and Fire-types. As she hallucinates that the hut has caught fire, Seles, Duke, and the other Pokemon present all try to calm her, to no avail.
Eventually, it occurs to one that if they can just find the Togekiss's Pokeball and release her, perhaps she will be able to calm the poor girl. After a brief search, they are able to find it and the Togekiss successfully comforts her trainer. After some time of letting Justice calm and offering as much comfort as she can manage, Seles mentions that she wants to meet someone as well: her cousin, who was once captain of the royal knights. The difference is she has no idea where he is and is searching for him rather than just going to visit as Justice is. Eventually, the storm dies down and they start to head out again, ready (they can only hope) to face whatever is in store.
(See link at the top for greater detail of the above and more plot thereafter! Thanks to Tere for this detailed desc and various smaller help with these spotlights.)
Seiji was in the middle of trying to turn the knob when he heard something behind him. He slowly looked back and saw another cat. Suddenly, he shot another Hyper Voice and spun the door, quickly swinging into the hall and pulled as hard as he could to get the door shut behind him. O_o He had to get out of this crazy place!

What?? That wasn't nice ;-;. The sound was also enough to wake the Liepard up, yet the mother cat just yawned and slowly got off the bed, picked her kitten up, dragged her back to bed, and went to sleep once more. It seemed she wasn't in the mood to play games.
Suddenly the sound of someone walking down the hall rather quickly could be heard. Sure enough, Feliciano Rossi was walking straight down the hallway towards bis bedroom. However, he stopped as soon as he caught sight of Seiji. Was that.... a rodent? In the castle??? Felis's eye twitched a little, and in another moment, he had thrown out a pokeball releasing Snivy out. "Out of the castle with that!" Felis called. He had had enough of a rodent problem lately. Ivy blinked a moment but then smirked before charging after Seiji and forming a Vine Whip attack. [/scrolly]
Seiji looked at Felis, hoping that he would be nice. People always said that the East was the nicest of the dukes. ^^ He thought that Felis would show him the way out, but he was suddenly met with a Snivy. Seiji started to run from it rather quickly. <I just want to find the way out DX A girl dragged me in here!> he screams out in fear. DX He wasn't going to attack it.. that's just add more problems. He did get hit with the vine whip, but kept running. DX

Face/palming, he sighed a moment and rubbed his temple. Great... he really did need to call an exterminator or something sometime.... Ivy crossed her arms and rolled her eyes upwards.
It was then that Rosa turned a corner and caught sight of Seiji. "THERE YOU ARE!" she called before quickly moving to try and snag Seiji up. Oh dear... out of the burner and into the fire maybe? [/scrolly]

Seiji saw Rosa and instantly started to run the other way. One of his scarves was grabbed and he let out a cry. He started to kick his legs as he was suspended in air in a way that really.. really hurt. DDDDX <Let go of me DX CODY! COOODDDYYYY! DX > he starts calling out quickly.

"You're so cute~!" she chimed easily rubbing her face up against Seiji. It seemed for whatever reason, Ion was no longer with her at that moment in time. Hm.... where had he gone? [/scrolly]

Seiji flailed his limbs around, but was stuck in the hug. DX Why wouldn't she let him go? Did she not understand that he was FIGHTING HER!?! He suddenly let out another Hyper Voice in an attempt to get loose again. ._. It was hard to believe that everything might just repeat itself again. ._. But he had to get away!

"Owie..." she whimpered a little shaking her head as she held her ears. In another second, the young girl burst out crying and started running down the hallway. Ah, the poor thing ._.; [/scrolly]

Seiji went running, but the drops were starting to hurt him. He went until he reached a big pink room and looked around. ._. Wait.. this was... He suddenly turned around and attempted to get back through the door. DX He really needed to find a way out of here.. but he was so tired now. Not to mention that they had so many stairs DDDX

Within the pink room, a Whimsicott could be seen cleaning and setting up toys again from their fallen positions. Indeed, it was Annie, Rosa's grass friend. As she worked, the sheep-like pokemon stopped for a second and looked back when she heard the door open. <Rosa?> she questioned only to see a Cinccino. Hm? <Did you need something, dear?> she questioned gently.

Seiji looked at the Whimsicott and smiled. <I... got dragged here by some girl... and she's keeping me stuck here DX I tried to get away but almost got attacked by huge cats.. then this big man came at me with pokemon, and then she grabbed me again and I screamed and she cried and ran away and.. DX I don't belong here.> Seiji says rather quickly. He wanted to get back to Cody now X_X

Annie sweat dropped a little and turned her head to one side. <Did this girl have blonde hair and greenish eyes?> she asked after a moment in her more or less calming voice. Even while she was talking, the Whimsicott was cleaning things and refixing toys.

Seiji listened and slowly nodded. <Yeah.. ._. She was with a big Lucario!> Seiji says quickly. He had to hurry up and get out of here DX He looked around for a place to hide in case the girl came in here. Then the question hit him... why were there toys in a pink room unless... WAS THIS HER ROOM? DX

Ah... Ion. Annie nodded recognizing it as Rosa. <Her name is Rosa> Annie finally stated before going back to arranging things. <And she probably just thought you were cute.... are you a wild pokemon?> she asked after another moment before looking back as the sound of feet could be heard walking towards the door. Oh dear... now who was that?

Seiji quickly ran to some stuffed toys and slid to the back, trying to blend in with them and only show his head. <I have a trainer DX She stole me from him while he was sleeping! I need to get back to him!> Seiji calls rather quickly as he lies there. He really did want to get out of here DX

He had a different trainer? And ROSA took him? What in the world? However, the door opened up a moment later and a whimpering girl came inwards being more or less carried by her Lucario. "All I wanted to do was play.... why didn't he want to play?" Rosa cried a little more as Ion said nothing and simply set her on the bed. 'Take a nap, Rosa, you'll feel better afterwords' Ion said in his general soothing voice. Rosa whimpered again but laid her head down on the pillows and sighed a little. Ion twisted his form around and looked towards Annie after a moment. <Miss Annie> he stated before the aura sensing devices on his head rose. In another moment, the Lucario's head had turned towards Seiji. After a few seconds, he walked over and simply picked up a stuffed pokemon and walked back before handing it to Rosa. After that the young girl sighed outwards clinging to the plushie and slowly relaxing again. Ion sighed outwards to himself and then slowly made his way over to the pile of toys and sat down crossing his legs in the process. <I know you're there> he muttered. [/scrolly]

Seiji was just watching from the toys, his eyes just barely showing through them. He saw one in the front be taken away, but he was still covered. He was so afraid that the Lucario would see him and drag him to her, but he didn't. Then he saw the Lucario come back over. O_O Was he going to remove all of the toys one by one until he dragged him out?!! It seemed now. Seiji stared at him as he spoke. <I have a trainer....> Seiji mumbles extremely low. ._. Hopefully the Lucario would let him leave. He seemed like a reasonable guy.

Bending down, Ion slowly picked up Seiji and then made his way to walk out of the room. Rosa remained relaxed where she was for the time being obviously exhausted from her expression. Finally closing the door behind him, Ion walked down the stairs with Seiji and made it to the bottom with no worries. The sounds of Felis moving about could be heard, yet Ion avoided the blond haired man entirely. Finally coming to the front door, the Lucario opened it and slowly walked out carrying Seiji in tow. Walking towards the edge of the gate, Ion finally set the small normal type down. <There.... can you find your trainer from here?> he asked calmly. [/scrolly]

Seiji was remaining almost entirely still as he was carried. So close.. just a bit further and they could get out. He was happy when they actually got to the door and he was sat down. He looked up and smiled. <I should be able to ^_^ Tell Rosa I'm sorry, but I was scared." Seiji says rather happily.
Once Ion was gone, or he thought he was, Seiji started to walk off, just to be spotted again by somebody. Only this time... it looked like that purple man who opened the door. He didn't mess with him last time, so Seiji just kept walking. That's when he noticed they looked a bit different, and suddenly, he was picked up and held again. " <3 He's so cute! I have to show Rosa!" he says quickly, walking inside the castle again. DDDDDDX Seiji just gave up as he was held. DX What's the worst a girl and some man could do to him... A thought crossed his mind that made him so scared that he was shaking, but he didn't try to escape again. "._. Are you cold, little guy?" Tai asks slowly as he got to Rosa's room. DX Poor Seiji.

Instead, her form rested on the bed still clinging to the stuffed pokemon that Ion had retrieved for her. Quietly, Ion came in again, and for a few seconds, the Lucario found himself simply watching the blonde haired girl. She was extremely innocent..... and he knew that she probably hadn't meant any harm from anything.
Tai would never get directly to Rosa's room. Instead, he would be intercepted by Feliciano Rossi who was still looking around rather displeased. Following him was not the Snivy from previously but instead his rodent sniffer shiny Grotle, Agape. The large Grotle was looking around and appeared to be sniffing out something or another before he had stopped in front of Tai. Looking at Tai then and there, Felis's eyes narrowed. "There it is," he stated crossing his arms in front of himself. "Tai what are you doing with that rodent?" [/scrolly]
