OOC: You can sign up for this RP in the sign ups board. You'll know which one it is.
IC:
Jade stood as the gentle waves rushed up against her feet looking at a tiny silhouette approaching from the east. Was it a boat? Or maybe a pokemon? The island had such few visitors, it had been years since anyone had seen a foreigner. Quickly she rushed into her house to look for her computer ((OOC: They're not out of date!)), and turned it on as soon as she did.
Hey. Her friend mailed her.
Hi. she typed. Did you see the boat or whatever it was?

OOC: I can jump in as the friend, right?
IC: Anna's fingers flew over the keyboard as soon as she saw her friend's response. Yes, from out of the window! I wonder what it is--maybe it's a visitor! She hit a key to send the message.
Her chair squeaked a shrilly protest as the girl leaned backwards to look out of the window again. Anna squinted through the window and caught another glimpse of the black speck floating on the waves before she overbalanced her center of gravity. A loud thump and a few sputtered curses sounded as she hit the ground in a mess of chair and human. Her Vulpix, who had been curled on an armchair a few feet away, yawned and leapt from the cushions to nose her owner's face.
Silly human, the persistent feeling of a cold nose to Anna's face seemed to say. You lean back and fall all the time, and never learn.

OOC: Yeah, yeah, go ahead, that's why I posted it...
IC:
You alright? Jade typed, looking at the sudden symphony of gibberish that Anna had sent her. She pulled a pokeball out from a small tray and summoned her Fearow.
"Kellyen," she said softly, almost humming. "Can you go see if you can get a closer look at whatever's coming?" Kellyen cawed and fluttered out the window into the cloudless sky.

Yes, Anna replied after she had extracted herself from the chair. She rubbed her elbow, and suddenly winced as pain clawed her temples. Jerking, Anna sent another half a dozen lines of random letters sprawling across the computer screen. Groaning, the girl began to type slowly, and more carefully. Just being stupid.

Standing on the ferry's deck Sorn Wakaroo wondered if he would ever get to the island. He looked up and saw a lone Fearow flying overhead.
That's unusual, he thought when he noticed it. It seems like it's carrying out an order rather than flying aimlessly. Maybe I'll meet someone I can battle with on this island.
He leaned back against the rail and decided to get a nap in before disembarking.

Jade giggled as she read the message and turned to her window. Kellyen was circling back and flying towards the house. Whatever was coming, it seemed easy enough to decipher.
You wanna go outside and see? she typed to Anna. Or wait until someone freaks out first?

You sent out Kellyen, I bet, Anna replied, smiling. If it's not dangerous, then of course! Let's go see! She paused for a second, then typed hastily: I'll race you to the docks!
After sending that message, Anna bounded up from her chair and scooped up her Vulpix in a single, fluid motion. In another few seconds, she was sprinting from her house and running at full speed down the path toward the docks. The fiery red pokemon she cradled in her arms trilled an indignant question; Anna ignored her Vulpix and the glare she was receiving from its golden eyes for disturbing its peaceful nap.

Jade began to type her agreement but Anna was already logged off and probably on her way. She closed her laptop and grabbed her pokeballs.
"Kurel!" she said, throwing the ball out the window. A red flash appeared and from it a horse with a fiery mane. Jade hurried out the door and hopped onto the Ponyta, shouting "Ya!". Kurel whinnied and galloped along the sandy beach.
Jade was just closing in to the dock when she saw Anna hurry on.
"Damn!" she called to her friend. "So close!"

"No. Fair," Anna puffed, clutching a stitch in her side. "I knew I'd forgotten something when I challenged you to a race." With much hyperbole, she flopped onto the dock and feigned passing out from sheer exhaustion. The Vulpix trilled again in annoyance and extracted herself from Anna's arms. As quickly as she could move on her small legs, she waddled toward Jade, begging to be picked up, stroked, and admired. Vulpix liked Jade a lot more than she liked Anna.

"Heeeey!" Jade hummed in a singsong voice, obliging to the small fox's request. "How've ya been?"
She turned back to Anna. "Yeah, well, you still won," she said modestly. "Hey, look! The boat's getting closer!"

Sorn awoke as the boat was nearing the docks. He watched the waves pass for a minute or two and then looked up. He was greeted by the sight of two girls and a vulpix playing on the dock. His first thought was, Yes! Kids my own age! Or at least close enough.
His next thought was, Slowpoke dung! What if they don't like me... well, we'll find out soon enough. The boat pulled up next to the dock and began to empty off.

The people on the boat began to get off. Almost millions of people, it seemed. Well, not that many, but a lot to be in one place.
"Kurel!" Jade motioned for her Ponyta to come and when it did hopped on. She looked at Anna. "Get on," she said. "So we don't get lost."

Sorn fell in with the crowd of people as they all began to disembark. As he was being jostled off the boat, he saw the two girls he had glimpsed earlier, only now they were on a Ponyta! Maybe I can battle one of them... he thought.
He made a quick decision and turned 180 degrees and began walking against the flow of people. He dodged and dived out of the way for a few minutes, and soon there were only the girls and him left.
He approached them, took a deep breath, and said "Hi. I'm Sorn. What are your names?"

"Get lost?" Anna tilted her head to the side, puzzled. "There don't seem to be that many people... Well, more visitors than I've ever seen here before, but even so, not too many. My sense of direction isn't that bad." As she spoke, she mounted behind Jade anyway. She fidgeted a little, uncomfortable at being on a Ponyta's back. OOC: Gah. I didn't see Sorn's post before I posted...  |

"Yeah but you're so light I'm afraid you might get carried away," Jade joked, now looking down at the boy who had spoken to them.
"My, aren't we friendly," she said, extending her hand. "I'm Jade, and this is Anna. No last names for you, though. Never know who's a stalker these days." She didn't mean the last bit, but just to be friendly...

OOC: *rotfl* That used to happen to me all the time!!
IC: Sorn shook the extended hand while thinking, Strange girls... strange indeed. Out loud he said, "Nice Ponyta Jade. Does it battle?"
OOC: And sorry about the it. I can't tell if Ponyta's male or female.

OOC: Okeh, Kurel's a girl... o.o
IC:
"Uh, I guess," Jade wondered. "I usually use my other pokemon, since Kurel's fire can burn the whole island if it catches on the right thing. Why? You just come here lookin' for a fight?"

OOC: I guessed so... but too late.
IC: "Nope, replied Sorn cheerily. "I'm actually looking for a friend. I don't have any see, and I'll need help if I'm going to survive on this island."
He stepped backa few feet and pulled a ball from his belt. "Come on out Combusken!" Sorn shouted, throwing the ball. Combusken burst out of the ball in a shower of red light and eyed the stangers warily.
"Don't be shy," Sorn laughed at his Combusken's apprehension. "Go on, say hello."

The crowd had dispersed, so Anna dismounted from Kurel. She stepped clumsily to the ground, quite unused to having to do anything involving something equine, whether it be mounting, dismounting, or riding. "To survive on this island? Believe me, I've lived here for fifteen years; it isn't hard to survive. It isn't exactly a barren desert or a frigid mountain. And besides, people around here are usually quite friendly." She smiled at Sorn and Combusken.
Feeling as though the center of attention was no longer focused on her, Vulpix trotted toward Sorn and pawed at his leg. In a soft mew, she begged to be noticed. "Oh! And this is Vulpix." Anna gestured at the little fox. "I think she wants you to pick her up."

Jade suddenly wished the Vulpix was with her again, but she dismounted Kurel as well and stroked the horse's mane.
"Anna's right," she said. "How come you're here, anyway? It looks like you're a traveler, judging by your clothes and backpack... Or maybe that's just for here?"
Kellyen cawed from above, and Jade extended her arm to let it perch there. "Sorry," Jade mumbled to the Fearow. "I forgot to tell you where we went."

Sorn smiled at Vulpix and picked her(?) up at the same time saying to Jade and Anna, "You're half right. I'm a certified Pokemon Ranger and my goal is to beat Lance and become a member of the Elite Four."
At this Combusken cawed and jumped into the air, flapping his arms wildly. Sorn laughed and said, "and Combusken here wants to be the world's first flying Blaziken. How he plans to accomplish this is yet to be discovered." He pat Combusken on the head with Vulpix in the other arm.
Sorn set Vulpix down and turned to face the girls. "We came to this island to train, so we were going to build a house as a base and travel around the island battling trainers and wild pokemon."

Jade gave Anna a look and turned back to Sorn. "That'll stir up something for sure," she said. "How many of those badges have you got?"

Sorn's face turned red. "Umm..." he began. "Well it's kind of embarassing. I only have five." He grinned sheepishly and blurted out quickly, "But I'm working on it! I have a plan."

Jade shrugged. "Don' be ashamed," she said cheerfully. "I only have one... When me and my dad went to Virdian City over in Kanto... Kurel helped me win... But it wasn't the real gym leader there, one of the people training under him. Anyway, I'll battle if you want."
OOC: All of the gym leaders are the same level here... I mean they aren't strategically levelled. So Giovanni can be easier than Misty...

Sant was flying on his Charizard over the sea when suddenly he saw an small island and he landed on it.
Sant: I have to explore this place maybe here are some rare pokemons to catch.
