This RPG was very funny to plat at some point but now no one is posting anymore and I wasn't enjoying the story anyways. Sorry for those who wanted to go on. Maybe I write a fanfic with this subject. Thanks for those who played. Goodbye.


**********************************************************

Setting: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn. Though the main action will happen in a completely different place...

Plot: A failed Devon and Silph Co. experiment ended up setting free a defective upgrade of Porygon 2, Porygon X. This led to the malfunctioning of PC storage system and collapse of any computer-controlled system, like traffic lights. In addition a mysterious 'program' known as Missigno have been reported here and there. The only way to stop the virus is enter to the virtual world(VW) of computers and fight the Porygon X. To enter VW you must reach either Goldenrod's radio station, Devon building on Petalburg or Silph Co. on Sapphron where Bridgett, Lanette and Bill respectively will help you enter.

*********************************************************
EDIT: Devon Co. is actually located on Rustboro, not Petalburg.
Thanks tiny_fighter by the advice.
*********************************************************
Rules: Each trainer can have up to 6 pokemon only (boxed ones cannot be accessed) and, with Pokecenter's healing machines out-of-service, each injury or status must be healed naturally (you can use berries)

Other rules: legendaries are accepted but you must explain in-detail how you caught it (there can only one by trainer).
All travelling must be done by non-computarized means (walking, cycling, surfing, flying, riding a pokemon). No made-up, genetic, fusion or shadow pokemon. Pokemon that have been infected with the virus have dark-red eyes and cannot be caught.

***Can RPers meet up?
-Of course! We're dealing with a pokemon world-wide problem, so it's better if we work together.

***How many moves could your PKMN know?
-This one is hard. I've ever thought that in 'real life' it would be pretty stupid if your pokes could learn only 4 moves, but if I say 'PKMN could learn as many moves as you want' it would be too easy to go into godmodding. So, to put a limit, I will say 5 moves, that makes things very different from what we are used to, but don't feel too tied with this. I think 'common sense' is all we need to play without problems.

***What moves can a pokemon learn?
-I don't want to set any restriction in this subject but, again, common sense. I mean, your Magikarp may know Water Gun, or even Surf, but it would be almost impossible that it knows Fly, Focus Punch, Flamethower or Hyper Beam. I hope you got it.

Beginning:
In Ecruteak's Pokecenter, sitting in front of a computer.
- Well this is the last change. Thanks Tauros, rest well. Now Flareon will come in your place. [Beginning exchange. Please wait...]
Suddenly the computer's screen fills up with odd patterns [System failure:... data may... have been..lost... System... Exchange completed]
- What was that? I hope nothing bad had happened to my pokemon. Maybe they say something about this on the radio.
[... that was frightening... a strange pokemon... Porygon... computer is malf... electricit... something bad... Devon... Silph... what?... Missi... help!]
- Something is wrong. Devon and Silph will show up Porygon 3 today. Maybe... I must go to Saffron. I will take the train from Goldenrod...

Jamie was sat in the Ecruteak City Pokemon Center with Jolteon when suddenly he got a phone call on his pokegear, "Hello?" Jamie asked as he answered, "Hi Jamie it's Professor Oak, I need you to come to the Silph Company building in Saffron City, something strange is going on" Professor Oak said, "Ok Professor I'm on my way" Jamie said as he hung up and he and Jolteon ran out of the Pokemon Center and towards Goldenrod City where he would catch the Magnet Train to Saffron City.

-------------------------------------------
Star was walking around the city, trying to ignore stares from people.
"It's like they've never seen a Blaziken before.", she said, trying to hide a small chuckle.She was heading to catch the Magnet Train to head to Goldenrod, but for some reason, she kept putting it off.
"Come on, Blaziken.Not like there's anything to do here.", she said.

((I can't think straight for a little bit, that's why my first post is so bad.))

Current location: Magnet train station in Goldenrod

Officer Jenny: "Pay attention please! Magnet train will be out of service for a while. We must wait computer control system begin to work again. We don't have a clue of what caused the malfunctioning and don't know how long will it take to fix it, so please be patient. In addition, nurse Joy reported of a malfunctioning of Pokecenter's healing machine so it is highly recommended you take care of your pokemon yourselves"

- "Oh! things get worse and worse. First that strange patterns on the computer, after that the strange report on the radio and the chaos because of the traffic lights malfunctioning, and now Magnet Train and Pokecenter are both out of service. I think I heard Prof. Oak asking for that boy in Ecruteak to go to Saffron saying that 'something strange is going on'. I must reach Saffron someway, but how?"

<Flareon's cry, coming out of his pokeball>

- "What happens Flareon? Uh? The radio station? Why do you want to go there?"

<Flareon pushes Erick forward, growling>

- "OK I'm going, but why do you?... Eh! Wait"

Flareon rushes to Goldenrod's radio, while her disturbed trainer tries to catch up with her.

Name: Connor
Age: 17
Character: Blur~case, often confused, lazy, smart
Location: Littleroot Town
Occupation: Pokemon Trainer
Pokemon: (out-of-ball)

--------------

On a beautiful morning, Connor was lazing around at home watching TV with his . Then there came on a buletin about a strange new virus in cyber-space causing major problems. It piqued Connor's interest, he was all ears but suddenly......

*beep* *beep*

Ignoring the TV and answering the PokeNav, Connor finds Prof.Birch on the other end. "Oh hi professor."
"Connor, could you come over to my lab for awhile? I've a favor to ask and it won't be easy explaining through phone." The professor replied. There was a sound of urgency in his voice.

*click*

I'd better get going Connor said to himself. Leaving house with only by his side, Connor walked over to Prof.Birch's lab.

You could write in any style you want (as long it doesn't break any Psypoke rule), just try not to be TOO short (a 2-lines answer doesn't help to go on with story)...

Thank you all for joining!!

Current Location : Prof.Birch's lab

"Hello prof." greeted Connor. "Pii~" cooed.
"Aaahh, Connor. Have you heard of the virus that's been attacking cyber-space?" asked the professor.
"Yeah, it was on the news minutes ago. What about it?"
"We professors of different regions have investigated and suspect that there is something to do with the new Porygon3." in a more relaxed tone, he replied.
"Oh, and you must want me to go find out if it is true." Connor cleverly answered.
"Well..yes. I need you to go to Devon Co. in Rustboro city where they're having the world premiere of Porygon3. Connor, some Pokemon have been infected with this virus. This virus is not only causing harm to Pokemon but it's causing trouble with human technology. As a Pokemon researcher, i'm very sad due to this matter. We need to get to the bottom of this asap. Do you understand?" The professor seemed eager to know what's going on.
"OK, i'm gone. Don't worry professor, I'll contact you when i find something." assured Connor.

Connor leaves for home to get ready for a whole new adventure.

Star looked & quickly realized why she had been putting off going to catch the Magnet Train.
"Computer malfunction?!No wonder why I wasn't coming here to begin with!Well, maybe I'll head to Silph Co.Maybe they have some answers for all of this.", Star said, but when she realized Blaziken had already ran ahead of her, she jumped.
"Blaziken!Get back here!", she yelled as she raced to catch up with it.

About an hour later Jamie and Jolteon reached Goldenrod City and the Magnet Train station, "Pay attention please! Magnet train will be out of service for a while. We must wait computer control system begin to work again. We don't have a clue of what caused the malfunctioning and don't know how long will it take to fix it, so please be patient. In addition, nurse Joy reported of a malfunctioning of Pokecenter's healing machine so it is highly recommended you take care of your pokemon yourselves" said an Officer Jenny, "Great now I have to fly there" Jamie moaned as he and Jolteon ran outside, Jamie then threw a pokeball into the air and Lugia appeared, many people in the street looked around at Jamie, he just ignored them and he and Jolteon leapt onto Lugia, it then flapped its huge wings and took off towards Saffron City.

Im bored. Guess I'll join.
Name: Serenity
Age: 17
Location: Celadon City
Job: Trainer
Pokemon: Espeon, Vaporeon, Jolteon (all three are siblings) , Skarmory, Blaziken, Mew (not really captured, more like befriended like Noland+Articuno in the Jap. Anime)
Appearance/Personality: Tall. White blonde hair and very shy. Can use telepathy. She always knows when something bad is going to happen.
~~
Serenity looked at the trees.
<Strange. I feel as if an aura...a bad one.. is on the horizon.>
Her Espeon, with a small sniff, looked at her. <You know when bad things are going to happen. You're gifted.>
Her Jolteon and Vaporeon ran back up to meet thier sister.
((For Pokemon talking Im just going to use [].))
Espeon said, [Serenity sensed something bad. Very.]
Her arrogant Jolteon brother looked at her and said, [Well, why not give 'em the one-two?]
Vaporeon stepped in and said, [Oh, Stacharge, you are so arrogant.]
[I know.] He smiled obnoxiously.

-Gardevoir~

Star finally caught up with Blaziken & was furious.
"Blaze!What's wrong with you?!You've been acting up lately & I've had enough!", Star said.She sighed.
"Okay, let's go inside & see if we can find out-", she looked up, thinking she saw something.
"On second thought, let's go to the Pokemon Center.", Star said & ran off.

((Like I said.Maybe 2x4b & I won't try to kill each other this time!))

Completely exhasuted, Erick stops just at the radio station entrance.
- "Please, Flareon. Could you stop running and tell me what happens? Why do you bring me here?"

But isn't listening to her trainer anymore. She stops a second at the building door but begins to run upstairs inmediately.

- "Oh no, wait Flareon! we cannot enter the building that way!!"
(I don't understand why she acts this way. She's always been hasty, but this is different. I wonder if this has something to do with the problem during the transference. If I only had Golduck or Gengar with me...)

Erick enters the building.

- "And everything gets even stranger... Where're the guards? or anyone else, by the way... It isn't normal to find a radio station empty... "

He walks upstairs (the elevator isn't a good choice, he thinks) and, as he advances, he feels like if he's been observed.
He takes one of his pokeball and releases his

- "Hi! Venomoth, something is wrong here. I feel like someone is watching us, but I can't see anybody. Use your Supersonic and tell me if you find something"

now goes ahead scanning the area with his 'sonar', while Erick walks slowly behind him waiting for something terrible happens in any moment...

(( Can RPers meet up? How many moves could your PKMN know? ))

After packing, Connor got on his bike and headed for Devon Co. in Petalburg City. On the way to Oldale town in the tall bushes, he stumbled upon a Trainer who seem to be attacked by a . It has dark-red eyes. Connor saw that the Trainer was helpless without Pokemon and he rushed to his aid. used ThunderWave paralyzing , but the seem persistent. " Pichu, bolt it." Connor ordered. was fast and landed few hits on . was worn out but then it shot a ThunderBolt at the and it fell, burned. Asked what happened and the trainer told that he just took his out from the PC. It seem infected by something. The virus instantly came to mind. With gasping for air, Connor realised and tried to rush to Oldale's Pokemon Centre.

As Lugia was flying over Blackthorn City Jamie saw a bunch of Fearow and Pidgeot, but they weren't normal, their eyes were glowing red, "What the......?!" Jamie exclaimed as a Razor Wind attack flew straight past him, "That's it, Jolteon Thunderbolt!" Jamie commanded, Jolteon nodded and started firing bolts of lightning at the bird pokemon, but tehy just dodged out of the way, "ok then, Lugia Aeroblast!" Jamie shouted, Lugia charged up a sparking ball of amber energy in its mouth and released it, sending a huge beam of energy soaring at the bird pokemon, as the beam struck there was a huge explosion and Jamie saw the pokemon falling towards the ground, "What was up with those pokemon?" Jamie asked as they flew past and over the Indigo Plateau and towards Saffron.

(Well, I guess it was only my imagination, the whole building is empty, or at least there's nothing Supersonic could detect. Now there's only one roof left. Flareon must be there already. I can't figure out why did she want to come this place)

As Erick and arrive at the last floor they barely manage to dodge 's Flamethrower attack.

- "Stop Flareon! That isn't funny! Why did you attack us? Come back now!"

Erick calls the pokemon back, but the pokeball 'beam' doesn't affect it.

- "Uh? Why cannot I recall her?"

<{venomoth}'s cry>

- "Stop Flareon! Are you ok Venomoth? Thanks for protect me from that attack... Flareon listen, I want you use Rest, now!"

looks at her trainer with a fiery looking. The dark-red eyes burning with rage. One moment later she begins to burn the entire place with her Flamethrower attack.

- "Venomoth use Sleep Powder!" - the attack fails as both, and Erick must dodge a direct attack which goes through a window with incredible power.

- "The roof is going to collapse, we must get out of here now! Venomoth come back! Go Maker! Use Teleport"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-"We barely escaped"
Erick looks to the sky to watch the flames that engulf the last floor of the building.

cries loud, asking for attention.

- "What happens Maker?"

A second later, Erick kneels down, crying and blaming himself when he noticed that is not with him.

- I could help you to save it, but we need to extinguish the fire first. So stop crying and stand up!

A red haired girl, wearing a white vest and a short black skirt looks him from above and extends her hand to help him.

tiny_fighter: I answered your questions on the first post. Thanks for asking. I forgot to write those rules at the beginning

I've never done one of these before, and yours seems the closest to having only begun, so may I request permission to take part in this?

Name: Jakob

Occupation: Writer, studying rare Pokemon and making books to inform people about them.

Location: Pallett Town

Team: Found on one of my expiditions to research rare Pokemon. Caught using a Masterball given to me as a gift from Prof. Oak after giving him free copies of "The Complete Book of Bugs", "Mew: Myth or Miracle?", and "When Elements Colide: the Story of the Legendary Dogs". Moltres has never liked me: after several attempts at training, each resulting in scorched eyebrows, I gave up on my hopes of making Moltres my companion, and have left it in my PC ever since.
_____________________________________________________________

"Bart, would you mind tossing me the phone?"

Obediently, my Cubone rolled over, stretched, and got to it's feet to fetch the phone which had so rudely awoken me from my slumber.

"Hello?", I ask, drowsily, and somewhat annoyed. Bart and I had only just returned from Ecruteak, where we had been observing the previous home of some of the most extraordinary Pokemon in the world. I had layed down in an attempt at catching some sleep, but, as they say, no rest for the weary.

"Jakob? It's Oak. We have something of a crisis on our hands, and I was curious to know what you've got to say about the whole affair. I've always been able to trust your judgement in the past. Won't you please come?" I could sense the urgency in his voice, something I had rarely experienced coming from him. I replied:

"Of course. Are you still in Saffron?" We shared a few more brief words, then I was up and packing. Oak had recently received some sort of a pristegious award recently, for discovering something or another. I'm sure I'll hear all about it from him when I get there. Saffron City wasn't too hard to get to. I have a friend who owns a boat right here in Pallett Town. I imagine he wouldn't mind if I hitched a ride up to Vermillion, and from there I could just bicicle north.

Bart had fallen back asleep, and was snoring loudly. I sensed opportunity. Reaching into the closet, I pulled out an old, rusted trumpet. Stealthily, I placed the bell directly over the sleeping Cubone's head and blew a note so loud and foul, I saw a flock of Pidgeys fall out of a tree on the other side of town. I'm a writer, not a musician. I received a trumpet as a gift three Christmass ago, which has lived in the closet since. Needless to say, Bart was wide awake in an instant. I, of course, fell onto the bed, laughing. Bart did not share this humor. I spent the rest of the day with a large bone shaped bump on my head.

That's what I call a good explanation!!

Well, I won't reply anymore til Monday morning (time of Chile).
Happy new year to all! And thanks for joining

((Umm, u dun really have to use technology to treat a patient do u? What about traditional medication? It's PKMN, so, herbs, potion etc., the Centre can supply those in the meantime rite?))

Connor was rushing to Oldale when he hears a hubbab nearby. It was then he saw a large crowd gathering outside the Pokemon Centre. Officer Jenny was trying to control the crowd. Nurse Joy was announcing something, "People people, our systems are down. Please remain calm...Hand treatment is all we have to offer at the moment. Officer Jenny has also informed me to warn people not to withdraw any Pokemon from any PC as they are infected with the new virus and are acting wild."

Uh-oh, what the heck~ Quickly with in mind, Connor pushed through the crowd, went up to Nurse Joy and asked for help. Nurse Joy rushed into the emergency room to treat it by hand. The crowd was controlled and dispersed b Officer Jenny with some of her colleagues.

Soon after, was cured. Connor then went to restock at the PokeMart. He heard lots of rumors about glowing-red-eyed Pokemon running amok and about the new virus now called the "Porygonus".

Connor summoned . "Fly us to Devon Co. at Rustboro City k?" Hearing that and obeying, flew Connor over to Petalburg.

((Gave the virus a name. Hoped u dun mind it's a rumor after all.))

"McCoy!", I called from just off the dock, pack on back and bicicle in hand.

"Well if it ain't me ole friends Jakob and Bart!", he replied in a thick Scottish accent from his medium sized barge. "Ya know, ya got quite a lump on yer noggin. Well, no matter. What can I do fer you gentlemen on this fine, sunny day?"

"I need to get to Saffron for a meeting with Prof. Oak. I figure the fastest way is to go by sea up to Vermillion, and from there I can trudge my way North on my bike. I'm sorry it's such short notice, but would you be willing to-", I didn't even finish my sentence.

"Give ya passage on this 'ere barge?", he finished for me. "O' course!! It'll be nice to have the company. And as for it being short notice, ya couldn't 'ave chosen a better time to surprise me. I was jus' about to set off!", he explained.

It was only minutes before we departed. McCoy explained to me that we would have to make a brief stop on Cinnibar Island before we headed into the bay. I wasn't concerned. Prof. Oak probably assumed that I would be arriving on foot, but traveling by boat saved me so much time, a brief delay would barely affect the time it would take to get there.

Cinnibar Island was just off the coast, so we arrived within the hour.

"All I've gotta do is pick somethin' up from a friend. I must warn ya, though, 'e likes to talk a bit, so don' expect me back for at least a half hour. You can wander the town 'til then, if ya wish.", and with that, he was gone. I figured I could wander for a bit.

"Bart!", I called. "C'mon you lazy thing." My Cubone emerged from behind a crate, looking drowsy, with his fur ruffled up. He staggered over to me, and I realized that his bone mask had a greenish tinge to it. He could hardly even stand up straight. This concerned me greatly. I picked him up and carried him to dry land. Immediately, Bart's condition began to improve rapidly. He shook himself and stood up straight. With surprise, I realized:

"You were seasick!!", I said. "We've still got a long way to go on the boat. Let's go to the PokeCenter, perhaps they'll know how to keep you from covering McCoy's boat with Cubone vomit." And we immediately set off.

Lost his favorite pokemon while training weak ones-- his , , , , , and . He wants to DELETE the PorygonX's for vengeance.

((Kill?Correct me if I'm mistaken, but, wouldn't viruses be destroyed or deleted?))

The walk through Cinnibar was fairly leisurely, with a walk past the newly rebuilt and renovated Pokemon House, as well as a visit to the Pokemon Lab. I'd been there before to interview some of the scientists about the species of the Unknown, but all they researched were fossils. The scientists at Mount Alph told me a great deal more.

The town seemed less crowded at the moment, and I wondered why, until I reached the Pokecenter. Nearly all of Cinnibar was congregated there. A thought occured to me.

"Is there some sort of epidemic here?", I asked the nearest person, a round black woman carrying a Squirtle that was covered in scratches.

"No. But Pokemon get hurt, or sick, and they come to the Pokecenter to get better. But ever since everything that was computerized started going haywire, work has been moving much slower at the Pokecenter", she replied.

"How did the computers crash?", I asked as I moved into line. I figured I had nothing beter to do before McCoy returned.

"Nobody's entirely sure. However, I've heard rumors that there is some sort of virus going around the entire network of computers. Something like the Porygonus. Some of it seemed like a load of baloni. Some of it seems to fit. It's a scary thought though. It'll certainly make transportation a great deal more difficult, and you can see what it did to the Pokecenter. Plus, what if there is some kind of sickness, that spreads..."

I could see this woman liked to talk... alot. I resigned myself to this endless barage of torture as the line heading to the Pokecenter slowly shortened.

((*robotic voice* DELETE, DELETE, MUST. DELETE. *does the robot*))
Serenity said to her Eons, "Come. Let's go."
Mew, whom Serenity had chirstened Shine, came out of the bushes. <Do we have to go? I found yummy Figy berries!>
"Yes, we do."
<Aww!>
Stacharge, Splash (Vaporeon) and Grace (Espeon) followed.
"Er, Stacharge, you get too jumpy for Skarmory, counting as its weak to your attacks.. so you'll have to go in your Pokeball."
Serenity regrettingly returned him and said to Grace and Splash, "Be careful."
She sent out Skarmory, who gve a shrill cry. Boarding it along with Splash and Grace, she set off toward Saffron, where her conscience told her to go.

-Gardevoir~

Current location: Goldenrod's Radio Station.

- "Onix, Omastar come help us!"

Erick's and rapidly setup for an "let's set this fire off" formation, that is, goes up as long as he can in order to get as near to the fire as possible. Then climbs him up and stays in the rock pokemon's head waiting for his trainer's orders.

- "Omastar use Hydro Pump!"

The ancient pokemon leaps up and shots the fire with his attack, partially extinguishing the flames. Unfortunately, the fire is too strong and quickly recovers its strength, sending tongues of fire in all directions.

- "Hey you people!! Go looking for help quickly. We need to set this fire off before it burns the entire building!!"

The mysterious girl shouts out at the crowd that is gathered around the place while Erick's pokemon begin to get tired.

(Why doesn't any trainer come to help? I'm sure the flames can be seen even from Ecruteak, there must be a lot of trainers with pokemon which can help us to stop this thing. We must hurry up, Flareon is still up there)

- How can it be your Omastar doesn't know Rain Dance? It would help us a lot

- Ehh?? Excuse me, but what are YOU doing to help? Don't you said "WE need to extinguish the fire first"? Well, standing up there shouting doesn't help at all

- I'm a scientific, not a trainer or a firewoman. I WILL help when all of this has passed and you can't do anymore

Suddenly, Erick's is zapped away by a powerful bolt coming out from the middle of the fire.

- Omastar!!! Onix, catch him! What the hell was that??

- I'm afraid that is the reason why I came here...

Every person in the place looks up, astonished waiting for something terrible to come out of the flames.

Current Location: Cinnibar Island

"...and all he ever did was say 'go get this' or 'go make that' and he never really did anything to improve our living conditions even though he always said that he was the right man for the job. He could've done plenty; he had the money and resources, Lord knows...", the woman continued. She was beginning to affect my calm. Only another minute or two, and I would be at the front of the line and this torture would cease.

The line had long since brought me into the building itself, and what the woman had told me near the beginning of our, or should I say her, conversation was confirmed. An enormous group of people with an array of various Pokemon were gathered in every corner of the Pokecenter, each Pokemon with cuts or bruises, or looking slightly discolered. A few Officer Jennys attempted to control the angry crowd, with little success. Nurse Joy made an announcement which, form the way she sounded tired and out of breath, she had made many times that day.

"Our computers are down, so all medication that is provided will be done with natural medicines. When you reach the desk, please inform us if your Pokemon has any alergies, or is taking any other medications. In addition, supplies are running low, and our next shipment will not arrive for another hour or so. If your Pokemon ailment is not a serious one, please make room for those needing immediate medical assistance."

It was obvious that Bart didn't need any help right away, or at all for that matter, but it concerned me that he would be sick for the entire trip. With a sigh, I stepped out of line and, cehcking my watch, decided I should just head back to McCoys barge.

When I arrived, McCoy was already there and packing some boxes into the hull of the boat.

"Where've ya been, mate? I thought I'd 'ave to come searching all over town for ya.", he said as I leapt from the dock. Bart followed cautiously behind.

"Did you know that all the computers are down at the Pokecenter?", I asked.

"Aye. And it's not just there. I tried to access the shippin' lines board on my mates PC, but it was completely offline. Lots o' people are sayin' it's reason fer concern", he replied.

"I've heard that", I said, remembering the woman at the Pokecenter. "Well, I guess it's time to be off. We've still got a ways to go, am I correct?"

"Aye, that we do" said McCoy. And we departed once again.
