CHAPTER II BEGINS PAGE 5

Professors Oak, Elm, Birch and Ivy paced the room uncomfortably.
"My main concern is for the wild pokemon in the area," Ivy spoke as she took a seat.
"Forget the pokemon!" Elm yelled, "The entire city has been taken control of,"
"Calm down Elm," Professor Oak cooed, "I havea plan."

In the middle of battle, all communication was lost with the Pokemon League and the city that surrounds it; Fortitude City. The city is built inside the remains of an ancient castle and so, thick walls create an unbreachable perimeter. The invading force has taken over leadership of the city and the Pokemon League. You are one of the members of the following...

- The Pokemon Professors have established a strike force of the greatest pokemon trainers to break into the city using stealth, or any other means you can devise. Once inside they must scale to the top of the Champion Tower where it is believed the captors are using powerful psychic pokemon to block all communications. From there the strike force can continue to free the city from the tyranny that has ensued.

- Team Rocket, Magma and Aqua (along with any other renegade organization) are desperate to make ally with this new force. They are trying to gain entrance to Fortitude City to either side with or destroy the invaders.

- Thousands of trainers are inside the city trying to break free. Nuff said.

I see no application. If you want to make an RP you have to apply in the appropriate thread. Look at the stickies - it should be obvious as to where to go. And if not, then here's the link.

Oh, and welcome to Psypoke!

Name: Psyches
Gender: Male
Age: 18

Appearance: Black shirt and dark blue jeans with a long dark blue cloak that trails along the ground a little. Shiny black knee high 4" heels and matchiong gloves. Hair is black with spikes on each side of the head that look like horns.

Background Story: From a corrupt family of rich liars and hypocrytes, tries desperately to do good to make up for his family's wrongdoings. Has little faith ion others, has trust issues :roll:

Pokemon:

Ampharos ; Psyches started with a Mareep instead of the usual starter. His parents bought him Totodile, Torchic and Chikorita for his birthday but Psyches gave them to three yougn trainers in the poor parts of the city so they could begin their quest before taking Mareep from a pokemon hospital.

Kirlia ; After Psyches' Ralts evolved it took an everstone from Psyches' bag and has been hiding it on a chain arund its neck ever since. Psyches doesn't know. Kirlia is very mischevious.

Ninjask ; Nincada was one of Psyches first captured pokemon, Ninjask will protect Psyches with its life, it is extremely loyal and undyingly loving.

Noctowl ; Psyches captured a Hoothoot that had been outcast from its nest because it had limited flying abilities. It does however posses advanced psychic powers but has finally mastered the fly HM.

Nidoking ; Psyches slaughter machine lol No real story, just a whopping great big scary pokemon for tough moments

**It starts**

Psyches stepped out form the elevator and into the room at the topmost floor of the Devon Building. The Pokemon Professors were already there. Professor Oak immediately launched into a speech aboput something. Psyches lost interest and gazed around the room. There weren't any other trainers there yet. He heard a beep at the door behind him.
"That will be the other trainers for the strike force," Oak said. Psyches turned around as the doors opened...

Name: Ben
Gender: Male
Age: 14

Appearance: Ben is very tall for his age and is wearing a red shirt and Blue Jeans. He also has a long black keather jacket minus the sleeves and red and black trainers

Background: Abandoned as a small child in the Poketower he has grown up to not trust anybody But love his pokemon

Pokemon:

Phantom (Haunter): The one pokemon that came to comfort Ben while he was alone, is always out of pokeball and hovering by Benb's shoulder

Sparks (Electabuzz): Ben's first catch was a Elekid, he has raised it with love and care and it shows

Alakazam: He traded one of the Haunters he caught in the pokemon tower with a friend and to theur surprises they evolved. Alakazam doesn't like his trainer much and prefers his old one

Flare (Charizard):Ben's starter, This pokemon is sometimes unruly but is becoming a better pokemon

Seviper: This pokemon is currently in training and is Ben's newest catch
___________________________________________________________

As the door opened Ben began to wonder what he was called here for and quickly asked Phantom "What do you think they what us for Phantom?" The Haunter put his hand up and pointed towards the now fully open door. "Well i guess we'll find out now" Ben walked into the room with Haunter close behind, to be greeted by Oak. "Hello people of the Strike force sit yourselves down"

"About 24 hours ago we lost all contact with Fortitude City. The City is set atop a high mountain and surrounded by heavy walls from an ancient castle that used to exist on that site. No one ever expected it COULD be invaded. Now we don't really know how to set it free," Oak started.
"Our preliminary radar scans have proven unaffective, it appears that aperfect circle around the city and the Pokemon League inside is completely inpenetrable by any of our technological means. At the centre of the circle is the Champion Tower," Ivy droned.
"The Champion Tower must have a group of strong psychic pokemon transmitting a signal to block all electrical equipment," Birch added.
"That's where we are sending the group of you. You'll travel to Fortitude City by flying pokemon because planes and helicopters won't work inside that signal. Your phones won't work, you'll need to break into the city, fight your way to the top of the tower and knock out the psychic pokemon. Then we'll call you and let you know the rest of your orders."
Oak finished.
"An entire city is relying on you," A teary eyed Elm spoke up. He had red marks around his eyes and his voice was all choked up.
"You have to get inside that city," Oak ordered.

"Hey, I'm Psyches," Psyches said to a tall boy.
"My name's Ben," The other boy said stiffly.
"Do you know any of these other trainers?" Psyches asked him. Ben looked around at the other faces peering around the room.

((not to be rude but you might not know, But your not aloud to control other people's character's, not even for a short sentence like that you would just leave it at a question, Ok. Sorry if this comes scross as rude, it's not supposed to))

Ben turning around to Psyches after scanning the room for a while finally replied "No i don't reckognise any at the moment, maybe when i get a closer look though, Do you recognise any Phantom?" The Haunter got off of Ben's lap and flew up to the ceiling to get a better view. After a few seconds he came back down and shook his head. "Ok then Phantom, no we probavly haven't seen any of these before but Phantom hasn't got the best memory." After looking at Psyches for a little while he noticed he only had Five pokeballs at his waist. "Psyches why have you only got five pokemon? They must be pretty strong for you to only have five and still be a top trainer"

((OMG I am so sorry, I'm probably gonna get in trouble coz I've done it a few times!! Sorry, I won't do it again,))

"I don't know why but even when I play pokemon on my GBA I just feel more comfortable with only five pokemon," Psyches replied. There was a lot of movement around them.
"Looks liek we're going now, have you got a flying pokemon to get to Fortitude City?"

((Don't worry about it i'm sure no-one will mind much))
((A flying type you said in your post Flying types get shot down before they even get close i'm ))

"I guess your right it leaves more oppurtunities for your ppokemon but i prefer six, you can have a better balanced team. And no i'm not flying there, your pokemon will probably get hit by a thunder bolt before you get even close. We're trekking there aren't we Phantom." The Haunter nodded it's head with a grin on it's face. "Are you risking going there on a flying pokemon or are you walking with me and Phantom?"

"Hmm, you're right. I think it's bestif we walk. It isn't too far from here. I'm worried about the forest though, it's pretty intense," Psyches walks outside and goes to enter teh forest.
"Coming?" He asked Ben

Ben walked out of the building and met up with Psyches
"Intense, Hah!, Nothings to intense for us is it Phantom and if things get really bad i'm sure my Seviper will get us out of here"
Ben walked into the forest and saw many pokemon, They were mainly small bugs but there were a few , and .
"I hate Bugs, this is going to be harder than i thought, but i guess Serviper will get some good training here."

"Heading to Fortitude City are you?" Said a voice. Two trainers, dressed in black and yellow stepped out from the trees towardPsyches and Ben.
"Uh oh, Ben, looks like we got some trouble already," Psyches said. The two trainers threw their pokeballs, with a flash of light came the appearance of Graveller and Raichu.
"Kirlia, come out," Psyches ordered. Kirlia gave a loud piercing cry as she leapt from her pokeball.
"Be, we can beatthese guys no prob if we team up," Psyches suggested.

((Hey Mutant_Mewtwo, how do you make the pictures of pokemon appear in your posts instead of their names? It's cool))

((You put the Pokemon's name {in here} with no spaces so say i want Pikachu i would write pikachu (no Capitals or spaces in between the {} thing's) {in here} ))

Ben watched as the Three pokemon came out of there Pokeball's
"A battle already! these poemon look really strong so I choose you . I'd like to see your pokemon take out my hahaha! Alakazam use Psychic on that ."
The attack picked the {raichu up into the air and threw it into a Tree

Hope you guys don't mind if I join

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

"So you want me to go to Fortune City and help take it back from the invaders?" Jamie said into his Pokegear, "Yes, We've sent two other trainers to go to the city, they should be passing through the forest you're in" Came Professor Oak's voice, "Ok Professor I'm on my way" Jamie said as he hung up, "Well Espeon, lets get on our way" Jamie said as he and Espeon ran off through the forest.

After a few minutes Jamie and Espeon heard a loud cry.

<It came from over here> Espeon said as they ran until they came to a battle, two trainers dressed in black and yellow were battling a two other trainers, "I think those are the trainers Professor Oak was talking about" Jamie said looking at the trainers with the Alakazam and Kirlia, <Lets help them out> Espeon said, "Espeon Shadow Ball!" Jamie shouted, Espeon charged up a ball of sparking black energy and fired it at the Graveler, the attack knocked the pokemon off its feet and slammed it into a tree.

((Random trainers in Yellow and Black = Yellow Font))

Ben was shocked as the Shadow Ball came out of no where and struck the Graveller and knocked it out cold.

"They've got back-up let's get out of here. Graveller, Raichu Return" with that the two trainers ran off into the forest.

"Where the bleeding hell did that Shadow Ball come from. Alakazam Return! Go Umbreon! Go into that bush over there and see what fired that Shadow Ball" The umbreon jumped into the bush baring it's teeth

Jamie stepped backwards as an Umbreon leapt through the bushes, it's teeth bared, "Do nothing Espeon" Jamie said, Jamie and Espeon then stepped out into the clearing where the trainers were, "Hey, can whoever owns this Umbreon call it off?!" Jamie exclaimed.

Ben heard the Trainer calling "Umbreon, Come back here now!" The umbreon slowly walked back to it's trainer "Ok Umbreon return, Phantom come on we need to go see who's there."
Ben walked through the bushes with Phantom close behind him just to find a trainer with a Espeon "Hello, I could manage those two trainers easily but thanks for your help anyway. I'm Ben by the way, Who are you?"

"My name's Jamie, Professor Oak sent me to help you" Jamie said.

((Sorry it's short, I couldn't think of anything else))

"I think Proffeser Oak sent out alot of people, they just split up into different groups" Ben looked down at the Espeon "I love your Espeon, it must be very strong to take out a Graveler in one hit, i take it you like eevee like me. I think you already met my Umbreon. Anyway i think we should get moving we have a long way to go yet"

hope its okay to join.
