Crimson Town

[Gifted]

In a town tucked away in the hills somewhere northwest of Kanto is a small town you won’t find on any map. This is not an accident. Pokemon from all regions can be found in this tiny town, but there are no roads going in or out of the place. The roads were demolished so no ten year olds on their pokemon adventure could go there. Crimson town is no place for children.
The town is divided in four parts. The northernmost part of town is known as the Ruby district. This is where the school and most of the high-end families reside. A small, eastern sliver just off to the side of the Ruby district is home to the areas tiny middle-class, known as the Scarlet Suburbs. These two groups often try to keep their children out of the constant violence and gang wars of the largest division of town, the poor neighbourhood of Blood Burrow, but that is a near impossible task. The feud is everywhere, and nowhere in town is safe. Even the streets of Redworks, the exclusively industrial area of town, are dangerous.
The streets are a constant turf war, pokemon attack humans and other pokemon. The police force is swamped, so much so that some have given up trying. After all, in the eyes of the law that 5 year old kid who’s parents gave them a pokemon to defend themselves and a 15 year old hardened gang member training illegally were to receive equal sentences, and to many it didn’t seem right as it was.
Training pokemon illegally was an extremely common practice in Crimson town. A person had two chances to become a trainer: Once when they were ten, and again when they were eighteen. To register at other times, one must complete several forms to show they can take care of their pokemon, pay a small fine, and wait upwards of three weeks. Whether it’s because of the fine, or the paperwork, or the fact you’re denied if you’ve got a criminal record, many kids simply weren’t able to go through that hassle.
Choose an allegiance and choose it well, because Crimson town is a dangerous place. If you play your cards right, you could come out on top. If not, you’ll be lucky to make it out alive.
--------------------------------------
If you are playing a legal trainer:

• You may only carry six pokemon with you at any time
  
• You can swap your pokemon with previously caught and stored away pokemon via computer. Number of stored pokemon is not limited.
  
• You have a Pokedex – your character can know all the different types of pokemon.
  
• You can take your pokemon to Nurse Joy

If you are playing someone who is training illegally:

• If you carry more than six pokemon, you must prove your character can carry that many pokeballs, or you must leave most of them at home hidden. So if you have thirty-eight pokemon, expect to have a huge sack to haul them all around.
  Note: This rule does not apply to the first six pokemon.
  Double Note: If you leave your pokemone at home and for some reason the police raid your house, they will be confiscated. Just warning you.
  
• You do not get a computer database to store pokemon. What you start with is what you have.
  
• A Pokedex comes with legal registration. Therefore, you do not have one. You’ll have to learn about pokemon you meet as you meet them. Obviously you’ll know some before the rp starts, but not all. (unless you’re like, a giant nerd with an almanac or something in which case... really? You’re playing a nerd in a gang oriented rp? Really?)
  
• If you take your pokemon to Nurse Joy, she will call the cops on you and you will be arrested for illegally training pokemon. However, it is perfectly okay to bug a legal friend to give your pokemon to Nurse Joy on your behalf and have them pretend it’s theirs.
  
• Obviously, don’t go to the police. Do I really even need to say that?

For very small children (under ten):

• Though it’s technically illegal, most police and Nurse Joy will let you slide with one or two pokemon because you need them for protection.
  
• Any more than two, and you’re considered an illegal trainer.
  
• This, obviously, does not apply to everyone because it relies on compassion. So don’t go playing some rich, sadistic eight year old and expect to be let slide because you’ve only got two pokemon. (Yes, I’m talking to you, Raven)

NOTE TO ALL: YOUR POKEBALLS CAN AND WILL BE STOLEN UNLESS KEPT IN COMPUTER

_____________________

A man of around twenty two was heading to his home in Blood Burrow when suddenly a little Purrlion slipped around the corner, ran to him and began tugging his pant leg.
He bent down. "Vivian...?" This was her Purrlion. Was she in trouble? She must need him urgently, or she'd never send a pokemon to get him. The Purrlion nodded and shot off through the streets.
He followed the pokemon through the streets of Blood Burrow and into the Ruby District. He was surprised. Vivian was safe in her home? But then why didn't she come and get him? The window was open. He climbed through it.
He'd let himself into a guest bedroom, and Vivian was standing there. He took in her familiar form. The ripped, dark skinny jeans and the black t-shirt with slits in the breasts and sleeves that made her look almost gothic. Her red and white striped hat, long black hair, pink, lipgloss coated lips a twinkling green eyes gave off a wacky but helpless look. It always amazed him how she changed into a completely different person in a pokemon battle; she was a vicious, dirty opponent. Out of battle, she seemed so naive. One couldn't help trusting her. He supposed that's how, whenever the gang needed someone relieved of their pokemon, she was able to do it.
"Oh good you're here! You're here!" She came over. "Could you please hang on for just a minute?" She asked in her ever-so-sweet voice. "I'm just going to grab something quickly. I need your help on a matter of utmost importance."
"Of course." He said, surprised, and sat down on the bed. It really was a pretty room, the kind only the rich could have.
Vivian re-entered the room and he looked up at her. She smiled at him and spoke softly. "Dreams relieve you of your sorrows and troubles that make you weep."
"What" It was then he saw Hypno standing below her. Far, far too late. The last thing he heard before he passed out was Vivians voice.
"Because they are heaven-made, have one, and fall asleep."

Vivian smiled. There was no chance of her victims escaping her trap once she had them in her home. Hypno could induce sleep in three seconds, even if they'd just woken up. She returned him and went to find the tape.

When he came to, he was bound to a chair. He was not gagged, but his eyes were covered.
Or at least, mostly covered. he could lust see through a small slit in the blindfold. The door was open, and he could see down the hall into the kitchen beyond. Vivian was down there, her hat sitting crooked on her head. She was pulling out a long knife. He wasn't afraid she'd hurt him... he knew why she needed it. But it scared him almost more than if it was his actual, physical life at stake. She came back in and saw him looking.
"My my, you bad kid, how dare you wake up so early!" She cried with a huge grin on her face, despite being at least five years his junoir, at sixteen. Ìf the blindfold comes off, shall I blind you instead?"
She watched his eyes widen, and his body begin to shake. The fear was probably the most exhilerating part. "Why are you trembling in front of me like a scared little mouse?" She laughed, went around the chair, and put his arm around him. "This is my domain, where it is as safe as any place." She said in a low voice. "I'll just toll what's in your pockets, now, we shall not lose any haste!" She took out three of his pokeballs from his pocket, and another six off his belt.
He did not react. He would not show this traitor weakness. He kept his face impassive. Then he felt her use her fingers to lift the corners of his mouth.
"Oh look," She said. "Now you're smiling. Isn't that the cutest sight?" The smile finally fell off her face. "But you still wear lies, so let's go back to our play tonight." She put the knife in his pocket, and ripped his carefully stitched seam open. This was where he kept his strongest, his last resort pokemon. Including... no, but she wouldn't...
"Please" He gasped. "Do whatever you want from me, but don't take Geodude! He's my first pokemon, I cant lose him! I won't tell anyone it was you, I swear! You can go find a new gang and no one'll be the wiser! Just... please..."
She surveyed him for a moment. Then, as she took the last pokeball out of his pocket, she said the thing she knew would frighten him most.
"Where's the fun in that?"
She released Hypno, and he fell asleep again.

She went up to her room and put the pokeballs in a plastic bag. Normally she'd just use her purse, which she kept facing her body so one could not open the flap and steal things out of it, but she'd gotten a huge haul over the last few days. Five victims, forty pokemon - Rhyme and Scarlett would love her. Not all fortyy pokemon would fit in her purse, so she threw them all into a plastic bag, preparing to set out. If they got stolen, oh well. They weren't her pokemon anyway.
She took of her hat and pulled a pokeball out of the hidden pocket inside. She'd gotten the man in the other room to sew it for her not four months ago. She smiled at how quickly things could change. "Sable, come out!"
Sableye appeared, ready to help. Vivians first ever pokemon, given to her when she was eight and had been obsessed with all things sparkly. Back then, it was just for denfense. Now it was part of a team, and so much more.
"Sableye, get rid of him, my parents will be home soon." She said. Sableye floated into the other room and picked up the man, whom Vivian had cut from his chair as she spoke. Sable carried him out the window. He'd wake up in an alley in Blood Burrow somewhere tomorrow morning. Then, she grabbed the safeway bag, and jumped out the window. It was time to go see what she could sell.

Just another day for Sammy, lazing about in the Redworks, softly petting Sparky, who nuzzled into his hand happily. "Now I guess today's na' gonna be too action packed, ya'think Sparky?" To which Sparky called out in reply, Sammy didn't know what that meant, and wasn't going to pretend he did, rather he just smiled and leaned back a bit more, yawning and glancing up at the smoke rising into the sky from the industrial plants nearby.

Meanwhile, Ethan slunk around the back alleys of the Blood Burrows, keeping an eye on as many things as he could, softly holding a pokeball hidden in each hand, concealed by his sleeves. Ethan wasn't known to be a gang member, but he was known to be illegal, often fighting dirty if a situation got out of hand, and using his pokemon to steal the identity's of certain individuals. In fact, that is what he was plotting now, that was, until he noticed a girl dashing past him

Baryll had been on the job here for a few years, and got himself in some unsavory situations with the gangs more then once, of course he never stopped trying unlike his fellow squad members. Right now he was searching for one Ethan, and would do just about anything in his power to succeed in his endeavor. Even if it meant letting some minor gang members off the hook, because he viewed an illegal trainer with multiple ways to steal an identity more of a threat then some brat that's committing minor crimes. Though his methods may be a bit gray, Baryll was determined to work hard at trying to make the streets a little bit safer.

[Raven]

Ryan had gone from what seemed the top of the world to the bottom. He'd been the son of one of the richest men in Crimson Town. As it turned out, his father was also the most unfaithful man in Crimson Town, and had left his wife and children to the Burrows. Ryan had quickly learned that life was hard, and even the people in the Ruby District didn't run the streets. Only the people on the streets could do that. After that realization, Ryan did everything he could to secure his position. Clearly it wasn't for nothing.

Nine years after his realization, ten after he became a legal trainer, Ryan led one of the most fearsome gangs in the city. The Devil's Advocates were something you heard about, no exceptions. People who wanted to seem tough claimed to be an Advocate, however hard rumors said it was to get into.

There was once a rumor that you could only join the gang if you could beat one of the members in a battle. When the leader had heard it, he laughed. He gave power to induct someone to all of his members. Anyone could be in the gang, but only a select few were really Advocates. Those few were people Ryan trusted, for the most part, or in a few cases people he distrusted enough that he played them close. They were the people who actually saw the Devil of Crimson Town, though never without his mask. Everything was a mystery about him, yet he hid in plain sight.

Ryan Villein lived in what was considered a nice home, by Blood Burrow standards. He was a legal trainer, searching for a job after going through school. He was generally viewed as a douche, the type of guy who would pick on weaker people. No one thought he was anything special. He had a few pokemon that no one thought anything of. After all, what could a Sneasel do? But his reputation remained and he was the type no one would hire due to the expectations he'd get into trouble. Add in the scars and most people thought he was up to no good. He did little to correct them, but every now and then he would find a little boy or girl in trouble. No one noticed or cared when he helped them. Often enough even the children would never know it was him.

In order to survive as an angel in a city of corruption, you have to pretend to be a Devil.

"Alright hes leaving, now will be the guard shift. Ready voir?"
his brown hair moves revealing eyes almost the same shade as her hair,
"whenever you are" the psychic replied. his smirk travelling from one side to the other and readying his pokeball. he sits there waiting for the vehicle to leave; hmm.. and car's gone. "
Voir time to move" they instantly disappear only to reappear behind the gate of one of the estates in ruby district, pulling the mask over his face he whips the pokeball across the the gate "Entei! lets go", the giant dog of legend appears in the middle of the street and releases a violent flame out of its mouth towards the guards of the estate. guards rush out of the house pokeballs in hand. the last one passes
"Is anyone inside voir?"
"yes two at our destination and one infront of the the entrance way."
"pokemon?"
"only one a strong one electivire at our destination.."
well then... dont really have a way of taking that out so we gotta be swift" he reaches for another pokeball
"voir if you please?" the ball floats in the air and flies through the entranceway releasing what seems to be a green warrior with two blades strapped to his elbows. with a swift kick the guard is unconscious. with that the masked man runs inside and bolts up the stairs, the swordsman running the rail and burst through the door.
the swordsman charges at the electivire and unleashes a fury of fierce blows, kicks and punches, while the two guards are disarmed of there fire arms through the work of the psychic maiden.
"Voir hold them Gal keep him busy!!", a faint glow surrounds the men as well as her eyes and they are held up imprisoned in the air and the swordsman continues his frenzy on the bear like monster hes facing.
"alright here they are he opens a cupboard full of full restores, and antidotes we got what we needed here. teleport!" instantly any trace of there presence disappeared.
"tell zorro to regroup"
"hes on his way"
the known god of volcano's joins and disperses into a fox of the the night and lets out a slight victory growl at a successful mission, while tossing his pokeball he was carrying.
after a few teleports and actual walking later he removes his mask and kneels before a cave, from which a blue dragon appears from its shadows; takes one look and lets out a slight growl turns and awaits follow.
"he is allowing us to follow"
instantly he is on his feet tailing behind this beast, he trails until the deep open heart of the cave and then fast walks to a shelgon in desperate need of help, his bag is whipped around and a full restore in hand,
"there... your poison is healed now just rest and you'll be all better" turning and giving a slight bow to the mighty salamence before him he takes his leave.
"something troubling you Adriel?..."
"selfish people.... they will never truly understand the hearts of the pokemon they hurt..... almost quivering he walks to a fallen tree
"Zorro set up illusion we deserve a rest" at the sound of his masters voice a large dog jumps on him from behind
"MRaa!" a happy growl from his canine companion.
"CAYNA, glad to see all is well here no going out for walks... it seems like Crimson Town is getting rather riled up lately..."
turning her head revealing her rather beautiful black mane like fur she simply nods regretfully and heads into the log
the rest follow and engage in the act of slumber.

[Mismagius]

Maria began her night time duties. She, was after all, looking for a place to spend the night, as her and Ivy's container was being watched again tonight. It only happened about once a month, but it did become a real pain sometimes. Sighing, she looked back at Ivy and told her "Well, I guess we have to break in somewhere, and risk upsetting a gang, or sleeping on the streets. What will it be?"
Maria waited on a response, and when she got it, she had nodded and smiled. "Kay. Let's go then." She headed off in the direction of the nearest, and most decent looking building.

Watching as her sister picked the lock, she grabbed the knife strapped to her leg, and watched around anxiously. Good. They were in. She saw Ivy move behind some crates, which Maria thought was very clever. A soon as she saw Ivy was safely asleep, she sat up, against the wall guarding still, for a few minutes, being cautious. Once she decided all was well, she too fell asleep, yet she was still holding her knife, as a precaution.

* * *

Ivy followed her sister, thinking about how inconvenient it was that their usual nighttime spot was being watched. That bit only gets inspected about once a month, but this time it happened when her and Maria actually didn't have a job to do. She sighed very softly... So badly did she want to have her pokemon out with her, but it was dangerous when walking the streets, considering she really didn't want to get Maria in trouble, right?
Looking up as Maria began talking to her, she picked up her speed a little. "Over there." she said softly, pointing in the direction of somewhere that looked safe. Following Maria, her thoughts began wandering. She was certain here was safe, she was good at guessing things like that, but she was wondering what it would be like if they weren't always moving around. Oh well. She picked the lock, walked in, found a suitable place to sleep, behind some crates, and began into the realm of dreams.

Tobias could never have been considered 'lucky'. The fact was, there wasn't much to envy him for. The only thing he had was his ability to steal. He didn't even have a last name, since he'd never known his parents. No one really knew what the boy's name was, but almost everyone had seen him at some point. In the Burrows, or the shadier area of the Redworks. He was the kind who would be arrested for even looking at the Ruby District, let alone walking on the grass, and no matter what pokemon he had, he was hard pressed to make them listen to him. Stolen pokemon just didn't work very hard... Yet no one ever bothered him. Even those who would have thought of it never seemed to get around to it. Those who began to act on it found other trouble nearby, much more important than a small thief. It appeared that some invisible force protected him. No one would have suspected it was the Devil of the town, leader of the Advocates. Why would the most notorious man in the city take an interest in someone who didn't matter in anyone's book?

[Gifted]

"Stephen dear, the Pokemon Center is closed now. You're going to have to go home," Nurse Joy said to the boy sitting on the couch in the waiting room.
Stephen checked the time. Oh wow, it was later than he thought. He really didn't want to go through the streets at this time of night. But he couldn't exactly sleep on the couch here, either. "Thanks Joy," he said quietly, rising to his feet.
She smiled "I'll see you tomorrow then,"
He came here every day, ever since those nights two years ago...
He'd always been a quiet person, but when he'd hit thirteen, he could feel everyone looking at him. Rare was a kid over thirteen who wasn't in a gang around here. If you hadn't joined one voluntarily by fourteen, you would be blackmailed into one.
He'd gotten scared. He didn't want to be in a gang. So he withdrew from everyone. Adults, kids, everyone. He sat up in his room, on his computer, withdrawn from the world after school. During school, he never spoke a word to anyone, even the teachers.
His parents, scared for him, angry at him, he never really knew, tried increasingly crazy measures to get him off the computer and back into life. Untill finally, one night, they kicked him out of the house for three whole days.
He panicked. Where was he supposed to go? He couldn't sleep on the streets, one of the gangs were sure to find him.
He tried to sleep in someones yard in the Ruby district, only to be chased out by an old woman screeching about not wanting bums on her lawn and how she'd find him if he ever came back there. He ran into the Redworks, scared out o his mind. Now what? Where else could he go that gang members wouldn't?
That's when it hit him. The Pokemon Center! No illegal trainers ever went in there!
So he'd run down to the pokemon center, only to find that it was closed. Desperate, he pounded on the door. When a very bleary-eyed Nurse Joy finally opened it, he said the first words he'd said in three months.
"P-please, Nurse Joy... I'm sorry to bother you, but my parents kicked me out. Do you think I could spend the night here?"
She welcomed in warmly and allowed him to sleep on the couch. Now he came here nearly every day, and sometimes helped her with the pokemon. The two very fairly close. And his parents plan worked; he was no longer silent.
He still didn't talk a whole lot, though, except to Nurse Joy or his Pokemon.

[Crymzun]

"No... No please... you BASTARD!!"
"Look, i got nothing against you but there was a hit on you to get rid of your pokes so its what ive gotta do."
"you... the gang'll get you man YOUR DEAD HEAR ME!!
"Feraligatr wrap this up" "Feral!!" water seems to appear around his pours and becomes almost a shielding veil, he rockets at the onix before him with bellowing cry being released and it crashes to the ground. "Alright, now your pokeballs, you dont resist you dont get hurt" He walks up beside his victorious reptile and strokes his chin. A small yellow rodent snatches the pokeballs and jumps onto his shoulder dropping them into quincys hand. he grabs one of the balls and raises to the fallen onix "Onix Return" and it disappears with a small red beam of light. "thanks bud" he strokes his pikachu behind the ear in his favourite spot "Chuuuuu...." feraligatr with a swipe of his hand effortlessly knocks out the trainer laying on the ground and disappears into his Luxury ball. He strolls along and feels pikachus ear twitch while on his shoulder and he looks up at him and then in the direction hes looking, something going on in there? a nod of his head and a hop off his shoulder quincy followed his pikachu and saw the lock "huh.. rather odd are people really trying to steal from this place? they do know of the ruby district right? pikachu iron tail" his tail becomes a pretty silver colour and goes rigid and easily cuts it off "like a knife through butter. from here on out he follows his pikachu silently and comes across two females passed out and one with a knife. He looks at his pikachu and points to knife and the response is a faint white light and at that same moment pikachu was there and back with the knife in his mouth.

[Mismagius]

Maria notices the knife being taken out of her hand and immediately bolts upright, eyes flying open. She sees a man, with a Pikachu, holding her knife. "Ivy..." she says softly, trying to wake her sister. "Ivy!" she says a little louder, and more forceful. Once she sees Ivy's eyes opening she felt slightly relieved. "Your knife. The one I make you carry. Hand it to me, please." She held out her hand, watching the man who had disturbed them. "State your name, gang, and business here." she coldly says to him. She knew there was a possibility of the gang finding them, but damn, they must've only been sleeping for an hour.

Ivy hears her name being called softly, but ignores it as she finds sleep much more appealing right now. "...Ivy!" Her eyes start to flutter open. It's too dark to be morning. She was about to open her mouth to say something, when she say the Pikachu, and trainer. "...Give it to me please..." Ivy sighed, and grabbed her knife, handing it to her sister, watching the scene unfold. "Shall I ready Lia?..." she asked softly.

[Crymzun]

"why hello there you two i dont think your supposed to be in here. hey hey hey no weapons are necessary." pikachu crawls up his arm and sits on his shoulder with the knife still in his mouth. he spits it out and it lands on the floor. "So, why are we breaking into houses might i ask? you on the run from someone?"
