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.

Tai looked at Felis and seemed to freeze. "I found him outside and thought that Rosa might want to see him. ^^" Tai says innocently, then he remembered that he had to act different around him than Rosa. Around Felis, he had to be more formal! "But, sir. ^^ I can take him back out if you want me to." Tai says, trying to make his voice sound more manly. o_o He didn't like sounding like a girl.
Poor Seiji was flailing around in his grips now until he was suddenly dropped, but stared at the Grotle. Seiji had to look up at him, and slowly whimpered something. <I... I just want to get back to my trainer! I... I got dragged in here by Rosa.. then got away but was chased by cats.. I got out just to be attacked by him.. then I got away just to be caught by Rosa again! Then I got away and made her sad, and then a Lucario helped me out just to run right into this guy who dragged me back in DDDDX I just want to get to my trainer!> Seiji whimpers, getting louder as he talks. D< He had to get out of here. Cody wasn't going to come save him, so he had to be strong!

He refused to believe ANYTHING that a mouse-rat-whatever-like-pokemon said! Not from what he had dealt with previously! Instead, he snorted and shook his head stomping his feet threateningly. Felis's eyes narrowed at Tai, and the blond haired man crossed his arms in front of himself. "Take it out now," was the order that was given then and there.

Seiji seemed to shiver and hid behind the Butler's leg when Grotle stomped. DDDX He was suddenly picked up by Tai who quickly bowed. "Yes sir. I'm very sorry." Tai says quickly. He started to walk off with Seiji who was freaking out. They all wanted him dead DDDDDX He was set outside and just stood there in shock as Tai whispered something and ran into the castle. Seiji just stood there, completely confused.

Shaking his head, the duke went back to work. He was far too busy today to just waste time chasing after mice. Outside, the gardens could be seen. What appeared to be a large sleeping Venusaur could be seen not too far off.

Seiji gulped and eventually just started to walk through the gardens, trying to find Cody. Too bad he didn't know his way around here ._. It had been a while since he was here before, and when he was, he met Rikka as a Minccino ._. He found himself slowly getting lose as he walked around.

Luckily for Seiji, he had wandered out of the castle's grounds and back into Serenity Gardens, the more public area. Far off, an Oddish was dozing rather sleepily by a bush and didn't even seem to notice that there was another pokemon around. Farther off, a Tangela was picking flowers quietly.

Seiji just kept running around, trying to find his trainer. He was ignoring all of the pokemon around him right now. He probably wouldn't ask one of them, unless he got tired and needed directions. ._. He just kept going, hoping that Cody was nearby.

Farther off, another Tangela could be seen sitting on a bench and looking a tad sad. A Pansage was trying to comfort the other pokemon as best he could. However, it didn't seem to be going over too well, really. Suddenly a sound could be heard not far off. A Meganium came out slowly from the brush carrying a few roses in his mouth.

Seiji was starting to get depressed as he was still lost. DDDX Why did he have to be lost! He saw the Meganium and decided to walk over. Once there, he asked <Uh... have you seen a boy? He has grey hair.. probably sleeping?> Seiji asks rather quietly. DX He was getting really sad.

Hm? The Meganium turned his head to one side before slowly setting down the roses he had been carrying in order to speak. <I'm afraid not, young one...> he stated aloud. <I could maybe help you look for him?> he suggested after a few seconds.

Seiji frowned at his first response. <Oh... I'll never fi-> he suddenly jerked his head up. ._. What!? <You'll help me? I'd love that o_o > Seiji says happily. He'd help the Meganium carry the roses if he wanted ^_^ They way they could talk.

The Meganium smiled a little and nodded his head. <If you wouldn't mind taking those, I could speak as we went along> he stated in a calm and rather soothing voice before starting to walk after Seiji had done what had been asked. <You've lost your trainer, I take it? From the way you were speaking about finding a human, one could only assume>

Seiji smiled happily and grabbed the roses as he kept going. <Yeah... This girl, Rosa, grabbed me and got my lost in that castle and... DX It was terrible.> Seiji says rather quickly. His voice wasn't as soothing as the Meganium, but he felt a lot more calm than he sounded.

The Meganium blinked a little not recognizing the name at all. <Ah....> he answered back after a moment or so simply nodding his head a little. <Well hopefully you can get home safe enough> he mused gently as he continued to walk slowly through the garden area. <And at least the weather is good, neh?> he asked.

Seiji just kept going as they talked. He.. didn't know who Rosa was? ._. Well.. Seiji didn't until recently so ^^ <Yeah.. the weather's good ^_^ I guess that's better than this happening on a rainy Monday.> Seiji says with a grin. ^^

The Meganium nodded as he walked. It seemed that he was glad to have brightened the small normal type's spirits if only just a little bit. <So where are you from?> the grass type asked more or less keeping up the conversation simply as they walked.

Seiji smiled happily as they kept going. <My trainer lives around here, but I hadn't until recently.> Seiji says with a smile. In his past... he traveled all over Era before even meeting Cody. Unknown to him, they were getting closer to Cody.

The Meganium seemed to nod his head slowly at this and continued walking at his same pace. <I see> he answered back. <Well this area is rather beautiful... I make it my home for that reason... though I've heard of another area called the Runic Glade that is rather pretty as well> He nodded his head at his own words and seemed to be suddenly staring off into space as though fantasizing.

Seiji just kept walking by him and laughed a bit silently as he noticed the Meganium stare off into space. He really did want to see that place, didn't he? <You should come with my trainer and I. He's a traveling super hero, so he'd be able to stop by there and let you visit.> Seiji says with a big smile. They were getting even closer to the sleeping hero now.

Drawn out of his daydream by Seiji's words, the Meganium blinked a moment and looked sideways a moment. <Hm... that sounds like an interesting idea> he answered back seeming to look thoughtful for a moment before slowly nodding. <Though I'd like to be able to come back and smell the gardens every once in a while, you know?> he smiled.
