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.)
Cody had been sitting in the Gardens again, and decided to let Seiji go off and play. Cody was still sitting there, but started to fall asleep. He had no idea what would come because of this.
[/scrolly]
Seiji was walking around the Gardens, baffled by all of the flowers. o_o How was this even possible? It must have taken tons of workers to create this. He stopped to examine the flowers, and was amazed by them all.

In truth, Ion had already alerted Felis to where they were as a precaution, and it was Felis who had finally confirmed that it would be alright as long as Ion accompanied Rosa and kept her safe. Well anyways, Rosa was now walking quietly through the gardens looking around in several different directions at once. "Do you see any pokemon, Ion?" Rosa asked quietly. Ion sweat dropped and shook his head. Closing his eyes, he slowly began to scan the area for presences. When he felt Cody's, Ion opened his eyes and slowly turned his head to one side unsure of who the man was. He'd keep on his guard at least. <None at the moment, Rosa> the Lucario projected calmly. Rosa sighed and nodded before continuing to look around. [/scrolly]
Cody was still just sitting there, worn out. He was freaking out so much about being banned. That meant he wasn't a hero, and thus, he could sleep. Seiji stopped looking at the flower and moved on to see other plants. That's when he suddenly heard somebody talking. ._. He started to walk the other way now. DX He should get Cody so they can go somewhere other than a garden that they probably shouldn't be sleeping in.

Wow! He was s cute! Suddenly chasing after the pokemon, Rosa was on the move. "Hey wait come back!" she called. Ion blinked before quickly running after Rosa as well not wanting to lose sight of her even when he could sense her. [/scrolly]
Seiji was running as fast as he could, but it wasn't quite enough. His legs were small, and he didn't have anything to jump on and climb up to get away. He almost got to a tree to hide in, but he tripped and rolled. DDDX His eyes were spirals as he laid there. @_@

"Hi! You're so cute!" she grinned ear to ear at Seiji. Ion finally stopped running and sighed outwards a few feet away as he caught sight of the other pokemon. Raising his eyebrow but saying nothing, Ion watched. [/scrolly]
Seiji started to fight her, flailing around. She couldn't just grab onto a pokemon like that.. could she? DDDX <W-what are you doing!> he calls out quickly as he flails around. @_@ He wanted to get back to his pokeball now.

Rosa, who was unsure of what either pokemon were saying when they spoke in pokemon, simply resolved to hug Seiji and rub her face up against his cheek. "You're just like Tai's kitty! So cute!" she giggled to herself. [/scrolly]
Seiji sweatdropped as he was still hugged and looked at the Lucario. <DX I have things to do! I can't get squished by a girl!> Seiji calls out quickly. He was getting worn out from trying to fight her. DX Curse him being so little @_@

"You know what? I'll take you home and show you to Felis and then we can play dolls and and and" Rosa was getting ahead of herself again but was far too excited to do anything else. After a moment, she turned and started walking in a different direction. Ion sweat dropped a little but actually said nothing more. [/scrolly]
Seiji kept flailing around rather quickly. <But! I don't want to play dolls DX > Seijis calls out.He was still moving around a lot, but couldn't get loose. Ugh... DX
[/scrolly]
Tim saw Rosa coming and smiled. He opened up the door for her. "Hello, Miss Rosa. Did you have fun?" Tim asks in his formal voice. He still couldn't loosen up around Rosa.

However, the fact that she had brightened up so much at having the small plush creature had silenced him when it came down to it, and with that, they both made their way back to the castle. Rosa smiled as Tim opened the door and nodded her head. "Yep! It was fun and I got a new friend here!" she stated holding out Seiji so that Tim could see. Ion watched without a word. [/scrolly]
Seiji was still flailing around in the girl's grip and stared at Tim as she held him out. He mouthed the words 'Help me' as he was held there. He couldn't hurt the girl though.. but she needed to realize that she was breaking his personal space DX Tim just walked off to go work after they went through the door. Seiji watched the door shut and let out a cry. He started flailing around again rather wildly. <I... I am being pokenapped!> he calls out quickly. He let out a Hyper Voice attack, then jerked as hard as he could to get free. If he got free, he would take off in a random direction through the house. If not... that sucked... DDDDX

"Owie..." she whimpered a little to herself closing her eyes shut tightly and momentarily cringing. Ion's ears twitched from the sound, and in another second, he had put his paws over Rosa's hands to help her with the sound pain. [/scrolly]
As soon as Seiji was dropped, he took off down the hall. DX He didn't want to hurt her, but he didn't want to be taken prisoner! He started to reach the end of the hall, and took off in a random direction. Oh man.. why did Cody have to sleep NOW of all times DX He went until he came to a door, and started jumping up as he tried to grab it and pull it open. If he got it open, he'd go running inside and try to find a hiding place.

Ion sighed outwards and then moved with Rosa. "Why did he run away ;-;" Rosa whimpered a moment. Ion blinked a moment and tried to find the words to describe what he wanted to say only to find that he was at a loss for them. Sigh. After a few seconds, Rosa managed to work up enough resolve and then suddenly started after Seiji. [/scrolly]

Seiji had managed to open and close a door after running a while, and went running to find the best place to hide. He ended up in some bedroom, hiding under the bed. He didn't look to see who's it was, or really observe any details in the room. He just ran and hid, hoping he was safe for now. Soon Cody would save him... right? DX No, he couldn't keep relying on Cody!

She was sure she had seen him come this way. though Ion could detect the presence of the other pokemon, he didn't actively alert Rosa to this and simply left it up to her to decide whether or not to ask him which, in truth, she didn't. So at least Seiji was safe for now... or so he thought. The swishing sound fo a tail could be heard very subtly as Fiona, Felis's Liepard relaxed on her master's bed. It seemed that Seiji had run into Felis's room of all places to be and was now hiding under the very bed that a large dark cat was on top of. Luckily for now, it seemed she was asleep. [/scrolly]
Seiji was sitting under the bed, waiting for an opportunity to escape. That was, until he heard the noise from above. He slowly sneaked a look at the Liepard and froze. He slowly tucked back under the bed, and waited a few moments before tip-toeing to the door, and trying to open it and get out again while being quiet. He was hoping the cat didn't wake up X_X

And indeed the large Dark cat pokemon remained asleep where she was. However, the sound of something slowly creeping up behind the small normal type could be heard, and in another moment, Natasha, Rosa's own Purrloin, was within a good foot before making the pounce on Seiji.
