Kanto has changed quiet a bit. It's harder to become a trainer but tradition still pushes forwards. I am about to journey out into the world and the adventure of a life time is about to happen. The concept of an undersoul will then make sense.
For those thinking of applying: This RP is meant for Arctic Summer, Amestar, and Lunesoldier20.
-Raynard-
The girls where up ahead of me talking, giggling. I was dragging along in the back with Litwick. I had no clue where we where going next, but honestly I didn’t care. The nature and atmosphere of this forest was unusually peaceful.
“So, Raynard, are you going to nickname your Pokémon or what?” Autumn questioned.
I looked down at Litwick who was fidgety. I had no idea.
“Nah…” I replied as my best answer yet.
Autumn frowned a little bit, “Oh…”
Suddenly I frowned, but what was I suppose to name my Litwick? I didn't have the slightest clue.
Nightfall was yonder and I wonder if we where going to camp out here, I hate camping. We probably had no choice anyways, we where trainers, so we are prepared for the worse situations possible.
(In the next half hour)
Yep.
Totally, we where going to have to settle out here.
The girls where setting up their sleeping bags and then looking at their map while I had to make the dirty bonfire because Litwick refused to help me, so typical for a boy… In my opinion... But ah who cares. After about a couple of minutes, I got a spark started!
Then suddenly I realized something.
Where is… Litwick?
…Oh Arceus, what have I done, now this has to happen on my first day as a trainer…?
Really…? Really…?!
The girls looked distracted and sleepy, I murmured quietly if they where still listening, “I’ll be back… Bathroom…" Unresponsive, they looked as if they didn’t even notice me as I slipped out of their sight.
“Litwick…! Litwick…! Come back here! Now!” Finding a Pokémon with a purple flame on top of its head should be easy as 1 2 3. That’s not the case for me, these overgrown bushes where practically impossible to look around. I kept on inspecting everything I could.
There was a long narrow pathway that I started following in hopes of finding Litwick. Suddenly after about 40 seconds a purple light down the path is moving away from me. Dammit Litwick!
Nearby sounds where heard as I progressed down the narrow path, sounds like men where laughing or celebrating. Litwick decided to go check it out, it was another campground, full of men.
It was a military post.
“No...! Litwick…!” I whispered, “Don’t you even dare…!”
Litwick followed out of the bushes and was in the circumference of the camp. I watched through the bush. A soldier sitting on a log near the fire with an unidentifiable weapon turned around and reached out to Litwick. Litwick evaded his hand.
I popped out of the bushes and fell to the forest floor grabbing Litwick so she wouldn’t go further, the man shocked and bewildered from my sudden reaction took out his weapon and pointed it at me, I sat upright with Litwick in my lap, holding my hands up. “The hell!” The man shouted, trembling.
All the mens' heads where facing me.
“Dammit, don’t shoot him, pansy.” Another shouted, in full uniform. He came forth to me. I don’t even remember his name but I do recognize him from a long time ago…

Ughhh… I didn’t RP for a while but here it is. I had a lot of problems throughout the month, hopefully you’ll forgive me. I dunno who the guy should be so I stopped there… Just to update quickly

Once the guys in the funny tuxedos let all us trainers go, me, Raynard, and Autumn began heading out of the Indigo Plateau building. Much to my surprise, all the buses were gone. I frowned, looking in the direction of where Viridian City lay. How many miles was it? Five or six? Oh, god, my feet are going to be killing me.
Autumn and Raynard didn't look too alarmed by this. “Well, we have a long walk ahead of us. Why don't we allow our Pokemon out of their balls?” suggested Autumn with a smile. Before I could even say Articuno, she let out the Pikachu that she proudly proclaimed hers when she greeted us.
Raynard let out his strange candle Pokemon (though, if you ask me, it looks more like a giant marshmallow) called Litwick. I frowned slightly as I pulled out my first Pokemon's pokeball. I sighed and released him. Autumn's Pikachu jumped over to the Litwick and my Sandshrew, greeting them. The Litwick give any verbal response, and my Sandshrew waved its arms. Once they were done, we started heading out.
Farther down the way, we saw other trainers. One had a Pikachu as well. I took a moment to think. There are a lot of Sandshrew and Pikachu around Kanto and Jhoto...just like Ratattata and other such Pokemon. “Maybe we should give our Pokemon names?” I suggested. “I'm sure a lot of people could get a hold of similar Pokemon as we do...”
“Not a Litwick,” answered Raynard.
Autumn smiled. “Yeah, we should do that!”
I looked down at my Sandshrew, unsure of what to name the little guy. He had gone quite a distance a head of us with Autumn's Pikachu. Raynard's Litwick stayed with him, riding on her trainer's hat.
My eyes turned upward as I rummaged my mind for ideas. Ryan...no, that doesn't fit. Riku? Too common. So's Hunter and Yuki. Now, Yuki's just ironic. So would be Mizu. Nion? Timmy? Kennith? Take? No, that's just-
The next thing I knew, I found myself face first in the dirt path. I gritted my teeth and looked back to see my Sandshrew “grinning” sheepishly at me like only a Pokemon can. How rude! “That's it, your name's Rudy!”
Behind me, I could swear that my traveling companions might have sweatdropped.

Look, ma! Lune updated! Sorry it took so long!

When the screen flashed group number five, I looked closely to find out the girl that called me a blockhead was in my group, coincidentally she was right next to me. I noticed I was the only male in the group…
After a while a hyperactive girl scrambled to greet us, her name was Autumn. She apparently caught a Pikachu, when she asked me what I caught I said “Litwick.” A confused expression viewed on her face. I knew this Pokémon wasn’t common here. Kennedy, the other hand said that she caught a Sandshrew, and looked down as if she wasn’t exhilarated that she obtained it. Why not?
The man in the tuxedo arose up and spoke again, "Make sure you guys stop at the Pokémart and Pokécenter before you guys head out!" Autumn started to spaze either of utter excitement or anxiety. Oh boy, this is going to take some time getting used to…
“Well… I guess we should be prepared to head out soon, no?” Kennedy broke the silence.
“Yeah… Well maybe we should go to get a check in at the Pokécenter for this month. Then the Pokémart to get our items and stuff...” I replied.
They all nodded in agreement.
The groups assembled out on their adventure...

Hai yea guys, it took a while.. but... here it is! xD

Even though I arrived late, I managed to get some info. The one dark-haired guy I met earlier didn't seem to really care what was going on. Anything I could get was dug from inference and a few other people. Basic rules and such: minimum of four badges required to keep a license, only six Pokemon at once, have to check into a PokeCenter every month, etc. They pretty much went through that during the ordinary stuff. Oh well.
So, we got marshaled out back into the lobby where we came in. The funny guy in the tuxedo had us organize ourselves into lines to register our cards and our first Pokemon. The nurse, often given the common nickname of "Nurse Joy" as their hair had always been styled in the same way no matter where they are. You know, with the funny loops and thick bangs. The nurse took my card when it was my turn, swiping it, and giving me a plastered smile. "Thank you, Ms. Lyndon," she said. "Your Pokemon."
I nodded and handed her my Pokeball. She took it gingerly into her hands and placed it into the machine to let my Pokemon heal up. The computer screen behind it lit up, showing a picture of a Sandshrew. I scowled slightly, and I know that she noticed it. However, the nurse paid it no mind. She handed me the Pokeball and my card before bowing and thanking me, tacking on her "have a nice day."
I walked away without saying anything, studying my Pokeball with a frown. Maybe there's a way to get a Growlithe. Of course, while lost in my thinking, I run into someone. Once again, I sank like the S.S. Anne. Way to look independent. I looked up, quickly saying, "Sorry 'bout that." I looked up again to see the dark-haired guy from earlier. He looked rather puzzled, though I'm not sure why. I rose, dusting myself off.
Before either of us say anything, the guy in the tuxedo calls for all of us trainers. So, all us trainers gathered around and he went over the entirety of it. We travel in groups of three to ensure protection and other things. I sighed, rolling my eyes. Then he started calling out groups by numbers and then the members. On a screen behind him, the faces and the names of the team members appeared flashed. "Group 5: Adlar, Raynard; Lyndon, Kennedy; and Owens, Autumn."
I blinked as I looked at the man next to me. Well, darn. Then, I noticed the third picture of the girl named Autumn Owens. I had met her on the bus. Well, what a strange coincidence.

Just wanted to keep it rolling! Continued from Arctic's post.

I went back to the gates, a few kids stood there too, looking at the pokéballs that held their partners within. I sat down on the grass to examine the pokéball, it shined in the sunlight. A fuzzy feeling came over me and I smiled. This is going to be an adventure I’ll never forget.
Waiting patiently at the gates for about a half hour, more people suddenly started to come to them.
“(The bells going to go off soon…)” I thought.
Suddenly a girl bolted out of the forest and started to run for the gate. Out of breath, as she approached near me, she fell to her knees, hugging the pokéball tightly and squeed.
After a while more people poured in waiting at the gates,
BRRRRING!
The bell went off, and the dressed man continued up on the platform carefully and progressed to the microphone.
“Congratulations new trainers!” He exclaimed, “You have all caught your first Pokémon. To open your Pokéball just click the middle circle.”
He continued talking, I already knew the rules so I thought it wasn’t really worth it listening to him. I was at the back of the crowd, so I couldn’t really hear him anyways. Our General was still atop on the platform staring at what it looks like, me. He honestly scared me, so I couldn’t really pay attention to the guy blabbering off either.
Just then a girl ran up from behind trying to catch her breath.
“Did I miss something?” She asked.
I looked at her, she seemed young and had brown eyes and lime green hair, which I thought was strange, “Not really. I’m actually not paying attention to him…”
She laughed, “Well if your not listening then you probably missed something important, blockhead!” She laughed again and made through the crowd.
That was strange, yet a bit impudent,
“(I’m a… Blockhead…?)” I thought bewildered.
After a half an hour of blabbering, I started to get sleepy, even though I tried to listen, it did not last long enough. Suddenly the gates opened creaking,
“As you get inside, you will all be organized into groups. We will continue the process once you get inside.” The suited man explained.
“(Oh boy)” I thought to myself.
