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?

Again, there are no clear lines in Era. As such, many characters have more than one affiliation.
Be respectful, friendly, and PG-13. Listen to staff and be nice to each other and guests~ Lower end of PG-13 for the box, too, generally, please. People can avoid topics they don't like, but the box is just kind of out there in the open.
Dark font only, please. Lighter colors can clash with some skins.
When discussing works of fiction, no spoilers. If you want to discuss too much, make a topic in the Socialize board. Kthxbai~
Do not link adoptables and/or ask for clicks. If you want to put something in your signature on the board, that's cool, but asking is just annoying.
Have fun, or face the consequences. D< (The consequences may involve chocolate.)

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.

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.

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.)
(Shit that's right fighting moves have no effect on ghost types.) The man thought to himself as the Metagross was hit by the fire punch. He did not show any sign of pain though. "Raichu use thunder again ! Metagross earthquake." The Raichu used thunder again and the Metagross very calm made the ground shake violently. In the middle of the chaos Mike's ears heard the sound of clanking metal. He turned his head as his eye's widened and saw Teme hit the floor. Shit was all the man could think of. He returned his Raichu ad said "Kill them" was the order given. The Metagross understood what it can. It then wen't into Hyper mode. Mike ran to go get Teme.
Hope looked at the women and said "I'm sorry ,but this man has to pay." Then he ran off vision kind of blurry. He was indeed weak from the loss of blood but he had to keep going. He ran and was facing Mike soon enough. Then he screamed This is where you die! then He slashed at Mike. Mike Dodged it gracefully and pulled out his sword to slash down Hope's back.In a second the battle had started and ended. Blood came seeping through Hope's shirt as he fell to the floor. His sword falling with him (Is this all I am) the boy thought.
Mike continued to run as if nothing had happened. He eventually reached Teme. "Teme are you ok speak to me damn it!" Mike had a look of worry and panic fused together on his face.
As Mike had issued out orders and then fled, Jack had tensed but then slowly relaxed again as his body seemed to be too weak at the moment to do anything more. Falling back a little, the purple haired man groaned. Logan cringed from teh change in the weight but knew that this was the best opportunity to get away.
As the Thunder struck down, the Gengar phased through the floor and managed to avoid it before coming up behind the electrical mouse and using a Fire Punch. However, the damn thing was returned before he could finish his attack. T~T Oh that was no fun. The Earthquake hadn't affected him in the least. However, Hollow was hit by the Earthquake but managed to do pretty well against it. Forming a Fire Punch, he charged before attacking.
The Hyper Mode seemed to reflect something in the eyes of Logan, and he found himself deathly afraid. "Hold them off as long as you can!" he called to Jack's pokemon before picking BJ up bridal style and running. Fuck! No turn around and fight you idiot! Ripper roared in BJ's mind, yet the man was falling into exhaustion.
Teme flinched a little as she tried to force herself to sit forwards only to cringe and sit back as blood continued to soak through her clothes. Closing her eyes, she just let out a "Damn it."
The metagross used a meteor mash to counter the fire punch. Then He turned to the two man and used a hyper-beam. To try and kill them no remorse was the result of his shadowing. He didn't even care about his own trainer anymore.
Hope laid there in a pool of his Own Blood. (i- is this how it ends? In the end this is all I could do? why am I so pathetic. I act like hero I'm nothing , but a kid. ) Hope was thinking to himself He reached for a poke ball. It contained his salamence he had to leave or else he would die.
Mike picked Teme Up bridal style and spoke softly as a faint whisper "Don't Die." was all he said. He then proceeded to walk back to his metagross. Mike ran to his Pokemon , they weren't that far from town. He couldn't let her die. He wouldn't forgive himself if that happened.
AH SHIIIIIIIIIIT. Logan's eyes grew huge as the frickin' Hyperbeam was coming straight at him. Jack, however, managed to gain some sort of consciousness towards what was going on. "HOLL" was the call. The large Ghost type rushed in front of the Hyper Beam and blocked it with his powers taking no damate to himself given type match up. Logan physically shook, and in another moment, he was running again ignoring the pain in his leg as blood continued to trickle down it and dye his pants. Jack was wavering, yet soon enough, Logan could see the exit of the Amphitheater.
Teme groaned a little. "You don't have to tell me twice," she answered back cringing as blood continued to leave her.
Mike got to his metagross as it was resting the perfect opportunity to return it to it's poke ball he would deal with it later if it was still in hyper mode. He pulled out a poke ball and Released a growlith. The he pulled out a fire stone from his bag. He gave it to his Pokemon and right before his eye's it evolved into a Arcanine. He put Teme on it's Back first the hopped on behind her. The Pokemon was marveling at it's new found strength and appearance. "Come on boy! run that way hurry!" Mike pointed the way Logan had gone. In an instant the Pokemon bolted forward. (Your going to make it you have to.) Mike thought to himself.
Hope on the other side of the Stadium unleashed his salamence. And slowly crawled Onto it. Dragging his sword with him. The Pokemon had a look of distraught. "Don't worry just get me to a hospital.Please." The Pokemon then bolted into the air and flew out of the stadium. (Ill kill him next time for sure.)
It was only as she saw the Arcanine that Teme mentally kicked herself. God damn it why hadn't she just released her pokemon and said 'attack'. However, she didn't have much to say on it anyways and found herself riding towards the entrance.
Meanwhile, Hollow and Shadowkife looked ta one another before suddenly bolting after the man and his pokemon rushing past them. Managing to get to Jack and Logan first, they each seized one of the men's shoudlers and dragged them both below ground to a very deep art of the Amphitheater in turn. Logan had to fight off the urge to scream at the ghosts, but upon finding himself safe, he slowly set down Jack.
"L-Lo' pokeball...." Jack groaned a bit fishing for a pokeball in his pocket before finally releasing a Kirlia. Said Kirlia looked suddenly very horrified by the entire situaton and looked around confused. "Just get us out of here..." was all Jack managed, and with that the Kirlia nodded using Teleport then and there. .
(Damn it they got away she is going to kick my ass. Damn she hates hospitals too oh well she will have to deal.) The Arcanine was running as fast as it possibly could. They heading towards Scorch city now. (I underestimated that kid.) The white haired man thought to himself.
