Quick witted and lazy as can be Dingo likes to sit around play whatever sports he can and drink. Usual Outfit: Khaki cargo shorts with form fitting t-shirt. Running shoes and a backwards baseball cap. A book for carrying belongings and a lonely pokeball holding his pal... Reason for becoming a trainer: Dingo finally got kicked out of the house.

Name: Hace Hunter Age: 21 Gender: Male Height/Weight: 6'1",200lbs Appearance: Short spiked black hair, dark green eyes and intense features. He has a lip piercing on the right side. A physique that makes him an obvious athlete, Hace carries himself with a swagger like he's won Pokemon League, but there has never been any record of his existence in this country until now. Usual Outfit: His eyes are covered by black aviator sunglasses. Hace's muscle definition shows only slightly through the Grey and White Steve Nash Suns jersey he wears, overtop a long white T-shirt. His diamond-encrusted watch resembles the design of a pokeball, and on his fingers, there are several championship rings from other countries. He wears loose jeans and White Nike Air Force Ones. Reason for becoming a trainer: Hace came from a country of poverty and war. Pokemon were few around those parts, and any kid with a pokeball would be robbed instantly. One day Hace defended himself from a mob with the help of his Pinsir. From that day, Hace and Pinsir won many championships around the world. Recently, Hace sold his Pinsir for $100,000,000 and decided to start fresh and take on the Pokemon League.
Pokemon:
Tangela - Wrap
Vulpix - Ember
Spearow - Peck
I would also like a case, because I will be taking the league by storm. Holla!
Name - Maxwell Blue Age - 14 Gender - Male Height - 5'0" Weight - 108 lbs.
Appearance - In a nutshell, Max looks weak. Everything about him screams 'weak' to other people. It's not a bad guess, either. While he's not stick-thin, he does seem to not have enough muscle or fat on his body. As if he's not eating well. His eyes are a little sunken in from lack of sleep, dark bags underneath them. His skin is pasty white, and he doesn't have a single hair on his head. There are the little prickles that show that it may be growing there, but it's mostly missing. The only parts of him that truly shows strength are his eyes. Steel blue, and holding a sparkle within them. But this is often ignored, the eyes hidden behind rimless glasses.
Usual Outfit - Max knows what he looks like, so he does everything in his power to hide his weak look. A baseball cap on his head, a blue look with a pokeball on the center, always covers his lack of hair. His clothes are baggier than usual on a child his size, hiding his thinness. A dark green t-shirt that's worn underneath a heavy and well-worn matte leather jacket. Dark blue fingerless gloves on his hands. He usually wears dark blue (in keeping with the style he's wearing) long pants that have many pockets all over, a few too many for cargo pants. White socks hide beneath them while a very colorful belt with double d-ring buckle keeps them up. Brown shoes, sans shoelaces, cover his feet.
Reason for becoming a trainer - Max is one of the unfortunates that populate the area. A cancer patient. Unfortunately, his family has a history of lung cancer. Funnily enough, none of them have been smokers. Just an unfortunate genetic strain that has come up with them. Max caught it early, four years ago. But with his family history the doctors were watching for it and caught it before it had truly begun to take hold. Surgery was performed and the tumor was extracted without incident. To ensure that he would not be plagued by a relapse, he spent quite some time in chemotherapy. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough. A relapse occurred and he had to go under the knife a second time, and then endure chemotherapy for another year. He lost his hair, like many patients do, and lost quite some weight. At the end of his sessions he was told he was out of danger, and that he could enjoy life once more.
A few months later, out on one of his daily walks to build up strengths, he found a discarded pokeball. Within was a pikachu, about as weak as him. Luckily, the pikachu just hadn't eaten in quite some time. With time and care, it regained its strength. Taking this as a good omen, Max decided to keep it. And at the suggestion of his doctor and parents, decided he'd go be a trainer so he could keep active and continue on the road to help.
Pokemon:
Male Pikachu - Nameless
Known Moves: Thundershock
Name: Mycol Wellins Age: 21 Gender: Male Height/Weight: 6'2" 200lbs Appearance: He has a blonde mohawk that he keeps pulled back in ponytail so it doesn't look like he has a mohawk. Blue eyes and for some reason, a red beard he keeps neatly trimmed close to his jawline. Usual Outfit: Wears a pair of baggydenim pants, as well as a white t-shirt with the words "Fear the Bucket" in green. Black workboots complete the ensemble. Reason for becoming a trainer: Despite it being the basis of the world he lives in, Mycol preferred to stay away from matters involving Pokemon when he could help it. His girlfriend had a pet Growlithe that was abandoned on the street. It died one night while she was at work, leaving Mycol in a very bad predicament of his girlfriend (who is mentally unstable) coming home and finding out it happened on his watch. Mycol struck out on his own, hoping to find a way out of the predicament, and using Pokemon to hopefully have a way for him to gain some money in the process.
Name: Ekeru Age: 16 Gender: Male Height/Weight: 5'11'' 140 lbs Appearance: Ekeru is a fairly thin, overall mild looking character. He has a brilliant mind, however, and people who see him are always surprised at how serious he usually looks. He is, although, very compassionate to people he cares for in his own ways. He can beat many people when it comes to mind games, and can usually be found reading. Usual Outfit: A black trenchcoat that he usually keeps undone in the front during the summer, blue shirt and light colored jeans underneath. Reason for becoming a trainer: Ekeru has studied the methods and ways of Pokemon all his life, and is sure he can succeed. His main strength is the ability to assess any situation and formulate a counterplan, an ability he is sure will be useful in his Pokemon quest. He has nothing to prove to anyone, just himself, that he can be one of the srtongest, craftiest trainers around.
Requested Pokemon- Riolu with Force Palm and Endure, if possible

My apologies to all the forum goers who are offended.
Except the mods. Screw you guys
Name: Nicolette "Nico" Germain Age: 16 Gender: Female Height/Weight: 5 foot nothing, approx. 105 lbs Appearance: Firey red-orange hair, wavy bordering on curls down to her shoulders but often styled up in some way, teal-green eyes, light-ish skin of someone who enjoys being outside but isn't in direct sunlight the entire time. Slim build, some curvature to her form (naturally, see above age/gender), but despite this she can react quicker than some might expect of a girl her size. Usual Outfit: Rocker-at-heart, she wears flared jeans that are obviously well-worn, long-sleeved white shirt underneath one of several T-shirt of different colours sporting different images and/or saying, one of her favourites being a bright red one featuring a bowl of soup with "You are what you eat. So how does stupid taste, anyway?" Occasionally wears a hat, though only on the hot days. Running shoes, backpack of essentials/gear, pokébelt w/ balls, various jewellry, and a pair of mirror-lensed shades matching her hair. Reason for becoming a trainer: Nico has been enthralled by pokémon ever since she was a small child. The apartment building she grew up in had a nest of Pidgeot every year who were tame enough people could approach them without caution, though nobody ever tried to catch the "building mascots". Being one of the less popular children at her school (everyone made fun of her name), she had to turn elsewhere for friends, and when she was 8 she befriended one of the newly hatched chicks that year. Their friendship lasted for years, until her family moved to the other side of the country when she was 15. She saved enough to purchase travel back to her old apartment building recently, only to find it torn down for a shopping complex. Though she was devastated at the thought of never seeing her best friend again, it forged her resolve to become a trainer in order to try and find that Pidgeot again.
Request for starter -- Ponyta w/ Ember or Quick attack seems reasonable
I realize that writing a certain pokémon into Nico's backstory might not be the best idea, but IF a personal quest were to be formed around Nico, it's a starting point. The more readily available info on a character, ther better right? At least it can't hurt.
Also, on side notes, I really enjoy RPGs and have played D&D for years but my local group is on indefinite hiatus, so I'm looking forward to this. And I'm only really familiar with pokémon from Red-Blue-Yellow, and Gold-Silver-Crystal, as those are the only games I've ever played. Everything else is wierd and scary to me. And I also enjoy coming up with character bios.
Name: Vinny Wright Age: 20 Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'5" 125 lbs Appearance: Vinny is a petite man. He has odd brown hair that cannot be tamed, and dark blue eyes. His skin is pale, but his face is kind and friendly. Usual Outfit: He dresses to impress in a black cape he inherited from his grandfather, who used to be a gym leader. Under the cape is a navy blue velvet shirt, and black pants made to stand up to the environment while still being stylish. Custom black running shoes speak of his families past wealth. Reason for becoming a trainer: Vinny learned everything he knows about pokemon from his grandfather, but while his relative always wanted much more than the gym leader status he attained, Vinny believes he is destined to be a gym leader, guarding a difficult to attain badge from trainers not prepared to take on the pokemon league. He loves the idea of mentoring people.
For his twentieth birthday, his family gave him the present of independence and a pokemon. He was finally allowed to leave home and follow his dream.

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.
Name: James Ronoco
Age: 22
Male
H/W: 6 feet 190lbs
Appearence: James looks like a friendly young man ready to begin his adventure. He's fairly built, but has a gentle soul that is visible in his eyes. He has a slightly tanned skin, with dirty brown hair and vibrant green eyes.
Clothes: A warm shirt and comfortable jeans. Very comfortable with everyday travel.
Reason for Becoming Trainer: James' Parents gave him a Pokemon Egg after their two favorite Pokemon gave birth. They however, being responsible parents thought it best for James to finish school before going out on a crazy adventure with his pet/friend.
Starting Pokemon: Scyther with Swords Dance(if I can RP Slash, otherwise Slash.)
Name: Icarus Tango
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'9/ 156 lbs.
Appearance: Icarus is moderately built, with dark skin, straight dark maroon hair and brown eyes.
Usual Outfit: Icarus usually wears a navy blue shirt and a black vest. He also enjoys wearing his worn jeans. Reason for becoming a trainer: Icarus is currently extremely bored with his current life. He can't seem to get excited about anything, and nothing seems worth doing. He does decent in school, and doesn't cause much trouble, but deep inside his soul he feels a longing for something more. He started a Pokemon Journey, hoping that it will provide the excitement and drive that has been missing from his life. After hearing about Icarus's willingness to train Pokemon, his grandmother sent him an Poke'Egg in the mail...
POKEMON:
(I like randomness, so can you choose one for me?)
Name: Atlas Renford Age: 14 Gender: Male Height/Weight: 5'4" and 120 lb. Appearance: Atlas has a very normal build for his age; he's not too little, and he's not too large. His hair, which is about half an inch longer than a typical buzz cut, is the color of a moonless night. He's usually very frantic in the way he speaks and moves, but when it's battle time he acts very calm and collected, or at least tries to. He's a great strategist and loves to ask all sorts of questions about Pokemon. Usual Outfit: A dark grey zip-up sweatshirt which is usually left open, a white undershirt, and faded black jeans. He has a green-and-white baseball cap that he usually wears. He also has a pair of sunglasses, but he doesn't wear those unless it's summertime. Reason for becoming a trainer: Atlas grew up on a farm with many Pokemon around him at all times. He never really paid too much attention to them until he was about six, when his father began telling him many wonderful stories
he had when he was a teenager. About a week into these stories, his father gave his son a Pokemon field guide of sorts. Atlas noticed that a lot of the Pokemon in the book were the ones on the farm. He couldn't read much at the
time, but he enjoyed looking at the pictures inside. This triggered Atlas to want to spend as much time as possible carrying for, playing with, and observing the Pokemon on the farm. When he got a little bit older and was able to
read a lot better, Atlas took the book outside by the pasture and read every one of its words. As he watched the Pokemon go about their daily business, he knew inside that he was going to spend the rest of his life with them. Now that he's finally old enough, Atlas can live out his dream of being a trainer. Requested Pokemon: Aron with Mud Slap.
About Frox: for nearly 10 years, Frox has been helping women look good and feel great in easy-fit, mix-and-match, and work-to-weekend with just a few pieces by helping them make the right choices when it comes to clothing and accessories.
Name: Claude Green Age: 15 Gender: Male Height/Weight: 5'8, 140 lbs Appearance: Claude's what you'd call stout; not particularly fat yet it's obvious he isn't made of muscle. He has pale skin, messy brown hair which he rarely chooses to get cut (unless it starts to obscure his vision) and brown eyes. Usual Outfit: Long green pants, a dark blue t-shirt with Pi to the 1000th digit (in the shape of Pi) on it and generic sneakers (and white socks). Reason for becoming a trainer: Claude grew up in an upper class home, and although his parents did spend time with him, Claude's main companions were a Honchkrow and a Dunsparce (both of whom still serve his household). Claude wants to become a trainer because he believes it will be fun, from the stories he's heard. Even though he was brought up rich, Claude isn't particularly arrogant (though he hasn't really learnt responsibility for his actions). Underneath his carefree exterior, his mind is very sharp.
Requested pokemon- Gligar with baton pass

Name: Hastia Age: 18 Gender: Male Height/Weight: 5' 6"/ 150 lbs Appearance: Asian with short black hair Usual Outfit: Shorts and a T-Shirt with a baseball cap Reason for becoming a trainer: Travel the world and see new and exciting people and places
Hastia woke up on his 18th birthday and realized that in order to get something out of life, he would have to leave quiet Harmony Town and travel the world. As he picked up his things, he took a quick glance out of the window. There was movement off in the distance.
"Hmm... wonder what's going on over there?"
Hastia said his goodbyes to his family and walked out the door.
"I need to find out what's going on over there but I know that I need to have something with me. If not for protection, for companionship. I know it's going to be a long road and possibly dangerous but most likely it's going to be a lonely road."
As he was walking out of town, he saw a sign stapled to a pole.
"If you want to enter the world that is Pokemon, come see me." was printed on the sign. Unfortunately, the sign was torn off on the bottom so he couldn't make out a name.
"I should really go and find out who I need to see and where to go." said Hastia.
And with that, he left to go in search of someone who could give him some help.
I have been reading some of the city threads and was interested in starting out but I just need a little direction on what to do and where to go. I know I am supposed to get a starter pokemon (I really don't care which one) but then I don't know where else I am supposed to go. Is there a certain city that we start off in? If there is, then I will edit this post and put in the correct city.

His skin is pasty white, and he doesn't have a single hair on his head. There are the little prickles that show that it may be growing there, but it's mostly missing. The only parts of him that truly shows strength are his eyes. Steel blue, and holding a sparkle within them. But this is often ignored, the eyes hidden behind rimless glasses.
Usual Outfit - Max knows what he looks like, so he does everything in his power to hide his weak look. A baseball cap on his head, a blue look with a pokeball on the center, always covers his lack of hair. His clothes are baggier than usual on a child his size, hiding his thinness. A dark green t-shirt that's worn underneath a heavy and well-worn matte leather jacket. Dark blue fingerless gloves on his hands. He usually wears dark blue (in keeping with the style he's wearing) long pants that have many pockets all over, a few too many for cargo pants. White socks hide beneath them while a very colorful belt with double d-ring buckle keeps them up. Brown shoes, sans shoelaces, cover his feet.
Reason for becoming a trainer - Max is one of the unfortunates that populate the area. A cancer patient. Unfortunately, his family has a history of lung cancer. Funnily enough, none of them have been smokers. Just an unfortunate genetic strain that has come up with them. Max caught it early, four years ago. But with his family history the doctors were watching for it and caught it before it had truly begun to take hold. Surgery was performed and the tumor was extracted without incident. To ensure that he would not be plagued by a relapse, he spent quite some time in chemotherapy. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough. A relapse occurred and he had to go under the knife a second time, and then endure chemotherapy for another year. He lost his hair, like many patients do, and lost quite some weight. At the end of his sessions he was told he was out of danger, and that he could enjoy life once more.
A few months later, out on one of his daily walks to build up strengths, he found a discarded pokeball. Within was a pikachu, about as weak as him. Luckily, the pikachu just hadn't eaten in quite some time. With time and care, it regained its strength. Taking this as a good omen, Max decided to keep it. And at the suggestion of his doctor and parents, decided he'd go be a trainer so he could keep active and continue on the road to help.
Pokemon:
Male Pikachu - Nameless
Known Moves: Thundershock
My helpdesk should you need me.
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 6'2" 200lbs
Appearance: He has a blonde mohawk that he keeps pulled back in ponytail so it doesn't look like he has a mohawk. Blue eyes and for some reason, a red beard he keeps neatly trimmed close to his jawline.
Usual Outfit: Wears a pair of baggydenim pants, as well as a white t-shirt with the words "Fear the Bucket" in green. Black workboots complete the ensemble.
Reason for becoming a trainer: Despite it being the basis of the world he lives in, Mycol preferred to stay away from matters involving Pokemon when he could help it. His girlfriend had a pet Growlithe that was abandoned on the street. It died one night while she was at work, leaving Mycol in a very bad predicament of his girlfriend (who is mentally unstable) coming home and finding out it happened on his watch. Mycol struck out on his own, hoping to find a way out of the predicament, and using Pokemon to hopefully have a way for him to gain some money in the process.
Requested Pokemon- Growlithe with Bite
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'11'' 140 lbs
Appearance: Ekeru is a fairly thin, overall mild looking character. He has a brilliant mind, however, and people who see him are always surprised at how serious he usually looks. He is, although, very compassionate to people he cares for in his own ways. He can beat many people when it comes to mind games, and can usually be found reading.
Usual Outfit: A black trenchcoat that he usually keeps undone in the front during the summer, blue shirt and light colored jeans underneath.
Reason for becoming a trainer: Ekeru has studied the methods and ways of Pokemon all his life, and is sure he can succeed. His main strength is the ability to assess any situation and formulate a counterplan, an ability he is sure will be useful in his Pokemon quest. He has nothing to prove to anyone, just himself, that he can be one of the srtongest, craftiest trainers around.
Requested Pokemon- Riolu with Force Palm and Endure, if possible
Except the mods. Screw you guys
Sasky for the Sig.
I am in your [PACK]. Watching you... do... something.
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Height/Weight: 5 foot nothing, approx. 105 lbs
Appearance: Firey red-orange hair, wavy bordering on curls down to her shoulders but often styled up in some way, teal-green eyes, light-ish skin of someone who enjoys being outside but isn't in direct sunlight the entire time. Slim build, some curvature to her form (naturally, see above age/gender), but despite this she can react quicker than some might expect of a girl her size.
Usual Outfit: Rocker-at-heart, she wears flared jeans that are obviously well-worn, long-sleeved white shirt underneath one of several T-shirt of different colours sporting different images and/or saying, one of her favourites being a bright red one featuring a bowl of soup with "You are what you eat. So how does stupid taste, anyway?" Occasionally wears a hat, though only on the hot days. Running shoes, backpack of essentials/gear, pokébelt w/ balls, various jewellry, and a pair of mirror-lensed shades matching her hair.
Reason for becoming a trainer: Nico has been enthralled by pokémon ever since she was a small child. The apartment building she grew up in had a nest of Pidgeot every year who were tame enough people could approach them without caution, though nobody ever tried to catch the "building mascots". Being one of the less popular children at her school (everyone made fun of her name), she had to turn elsewhere for friends, and when she was 8 she befriended one of the newly hatched chicks that year. Their friendship lasted for years, until her family moved to the other side of the country when she was 15. She saved enough to purchase travel back to her old apartment building recently, only to find it torn down for a shopping complex. Though she was devastated at the thought of never seeing her best friend again, it forged her resolve to become a trainer in order to try and find that Pidgeot again.
Request for starter -- Ponyta w/ Ember or Quick attack seems reasonable
Also, on side notes, I really enjoy RPGs and have played D&D for years but my local group is on indefinite hiatus, so I'm looking forward to this. And I'm only really familiar with pokémon from Red-Blue-Yellow, and Gold-Silver-Crystal, as those are the only games I've ever played. Everything else is wierd and scary to me. And I also enjoy coming up with character bios.
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'5" 125 lbs
Appearance: Vinny is a petite man. He has odd brown hair that cannot be tamed, and dark blue eyes. His skin is pale, but his face is kind and friendly.
Usual Outfit: He dresses to impress in a black cape he inherited from his grandfather, who used to be a gym leader. Under the cape is a navy blue velvet shirt, and black pants made to stand up to the environment while still being stylish. Custom black running shoes speak of his families past wealth.
Reason for becoming a trainer: Vinny learned everything he knows about pokemon from his grandfather, but while his relative always wanted much more than the gym leader status he attained, Vinny believes he is destined to be a gym leader, guarding a difficult to attain badge from trainers not prepared to take on the pokemon league. He loves the idea of mentoring people.
For his twentieth birthday, his family gave him the present of independence and a pokemon. He was finally allowed to leave home and follow his dream.
Starting Pokemon: Murkrow with Pursuit
Age: 22
Male
H/W: 6 feet 190lbs
Appearence: James looks like a friendly young man ready to begin his adventure. He's fairly built, but has a gentle soul that is visible in his eyes. He has a slightly tanned skin, with dirty brown hair and vibrant green eyes.
Clothes: A warm shirt and comfortable jeans. Very comfortable with everyday travel.
Reason for Becoming Trainer: James' Parents gave him a Pokemon Egg after their two favorite Pokemon gave birth. They however, being responsible parents thought it best for James to finish school before going out on a crazy adventure with his pet/friend.
Starting Pokemon: Scyther with Swords Dance(if I can RP Slash, otherwise Slash.)
Name: Icarus Tango
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'9/ 156 lbs.
Appearance: Icarus is moderately built, with dark skin, straight dark maroon hair and brown eyes.
Usual Outfit: Icarus usually wears a navy blue shirt and a black vest. He also enjoys wearing his worn jeans.
Reason for becoming a trainer: Icarus is currently extremely bored with his current life. He can't seem to get excited about anything, and nothing seems worth doing. He does decent in school, and doesn't cause much trouble, but deep inside his soul he feels a longing for something more. He started a Pokemon Journey, hoping that it will provide the excitement and drive that has been missing from his life. After hearing about Icarus's willingness to train Pokemon, his grandmother sent him an Poke'Egg in the mail...
POKEMON:
(I like randomness, so can you choose one for me?)
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'4" and 120 lb.
Appearance: Atlas has a very normal build for his age; he's not too little, and he's not too large. His hair, which is about half an inch longer than a typical buzz cut, is the color of a moonless night. He's usually very frantic in the way he speaks and moves, but when it's battle time he acts very calm and collected, or at least tries to. He's a great strategist and loves to ask all sorts of questions about Pokemon.
Usual Outfit: A dark grey zip-up sweatshirt which is usually left open, a white undershirt, and faded black jeans. He has a green-and-white baseball cap that he usually wears. He also has a pair of sunglasses, but he doesn't wear those unless it's summertime.
Reason for becoming a trainer: Atlas grew up on a farm with many Pokemon around him at all times. He never really paid too much attention to them until he was about six, when his father began telling him many wonderful stories
he had when he was a teenager. About a week into these stories, his father gave his son a Pokemon field guide of sorts. Atlas noticed that a lot of the Pokemon in the book were the ones on the farm. He couldn't read much at the
time, but he enjoyed looking at the pictures inside. This triggered Atlas to want to spend as much time as possible carrying for, playing with, and observing the Pokemon on the farm. When he got a little bit older and was able to
read a lot better, Atlas took the book outside by the pasture and read every one of its words. As he watched the Pokemon go about their daily business, he knew inside that he was going to spend the rest of his life with them. Now that he's finally old enough, Atlas can live out his dream of being a trainer.
Requested Pokemon: Aron with Mud Slap.

Age: 15
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'8, 140 lbs
Appearance: Claude's what you'd call stout; not particularly fat yet it's obvious he isn't made of muscle. He has pale skin, messy brown hair which he rarely chooses to get cut (unless it starts to obscure his vision) and brown eyes.
Usual Outfit: Long green pants, a dark blue t-shirt with Pi to the 1000th digit (in the shape of Pi) on it and generic sneakers (and white socks).
Reason for becoming a trainer: Claude grew up in an upper class home, and although his parents did spend time with him, Claude's main companions were a Honchkrow and a Dunsparce (both of whom still serve his household). Claude wants to become a trainer because he believes it will be fun, from the stories he's heard. Even though he was brought up rich, Claude isn't particularly arrogant (though he hasn't really learnt responsibility for his actions). Underneath his carefree exterior, his mind is very sharp.
Requested pokemon- Gligar with baton pass
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5' 6"/ 150 lbs
Appearance: Asian with short black hair
Usual Outfit: Shorts and a T-Shirt with a baseball cap
Reason for becoming a trainer: Travel the world and see new and exciting people and places
Hastia woke up on his 18th birthday and realized that in order to get something out of life, he would have to leave quiet Harmony Town and travel the world. As he picked up his things, he took a quick glance out of the window. There was movement off in the distance.
"Hmm... wonder what's going on over there?"
Hastia said his goodbyes to his family and walked out the door.
"I need to find out what's going on over there but I know that I need to have something with me. If not for protection, for companionship. I know it's going to be a long road and possibly dangerous but most likely it's going to be a lonely road."
As he was walking out of town, he saw a sign stapled to a pole.
"If you want to enter the world that is Pokemon, come see me." was printed on the sign. Unfortunately, the sign was torn off on the bottom so he couldn't make out a name.
"I should really go and find out who I need to see and where to go." said Hastia.
And with that, he left to go in search of someone who could give him some help.
I have been reading some of the city threads and was interested in starting out but I just need a little direction on what to do and where to go. I know I am supposed to get a starter pokemon (I really don't care which one) but then I don't know where else I am supposed to go. Is there a certain city that we start off in? If there is, then I will edit this post and put in the correct city.
