Plot
Once again, Team Rocket have attempted to create the strongest Pokemon in existence, and once again they failed, but their efforts weren"t wasted. They have brought about the rise of “the dark virus”. This turns Pokemon into brutal, mindless versions of themselves with only one objection, to serve and destroy.

These Dark Pokemon were first released into the wild as first stage Pokemon. This Dark Virus rapidly boosted the Pokemon"s capabilities and their stats and levels soared like Braviary.
They struck fear into the hearts of many and because of this many people had given up their fights against Team Rocket and either joined them or lived in fear of suffering at the might of the powerful group.

The Dark Virus is spreading, trainers are careful as if their Pokemon manages to contract it they will fall ill and their Pokeballs simply shatter, it is virtually impossible to recapture them because of their strength and nature.
There is a cure, but it is very expensive and many fight to get their hands on it. Sadly this cure is temporary and PokeCenters are often filled with people trying to get small doses for their Pokemon. Generally the PokeCenters get enough of this, but trainers must return every day at around the same time they got it before or else their Pokemon could be at risk of contracting the Dark Virus.

However, some Pokemon have a strange immunity or tolerance to this virus. This is where you come in. You or your Pokemon are immune/tolerant to this disease. You doubt you are strong enough to take Team Rocket on yourself, but do you really have any choice? If this doesn"t stop soon then all the Pokemon of this world may become Dark, mindless versions of themselves forced into eternal destruction.

You must do something, to save yourself, your friends, and the world…

Remilia slowly flicked through the pages of her book, reading the small scribbled letters forming words then sentences.
Yuki slowly lowered her head and peered over her shoulder. She did no understand the written language, but she liked to pretend that she could.

“What are you doing Yuki?” Willow the Mismagius glided over to the Lapras. Her voice was not heard by Remilia and she continued to read.
Yuki sent Willow a glare which seemed to scream ‘shut up’.

Willow giggled and drifted down beside Remilia, who was so absorbed in the book that she hadn’t even noticed.
Willow quietly floated closer and closer to her ear. Eventually she was so close she could hear Remmie’s breathing.
Willow took a deep breath and screeched out. “MAGIUS!”

Remmie jumped and instinctively shut her book and slammed it into the Mismagius’ head, sending Williow crashing headfirst into the ground. The carpet offered no protection from the landing.
“Owww!” Remmie held her ear trying to ignore the harsh ringing inside it.

Yuki had not noticed the Mismagius’ drifting as her head was on the other side of Remmie’s head. She also heard that scream a little too clearly. She lowered her head against the carpet.
Remilia quickly returned the Mismagius and held her head.

There was another scream outside. Remmie felt a sense of urgency in the scream, quickly grabbed her bag and ran outside.
The first thing she saw was fire. She turned around to see Yuki slowly dragging herself through the room, unable to fit through the door.
“Return.” She said, returning the Lapras to it’s Pokeball.

She looked around for the source of the panic. Standing on top of the burning building, back arched and wings spread wide was a Dark Charizard. This one had a black collar around it’s neck, imprinted with the letter ‘R’. She saw it’s trainer at the edge of the town.

It had been only 2 days since she had returned to Lavender town and already there was trouble.
“Not again.” She muttered.

Therian held Hoppip snuggly under a tree. As he looked up at the sky, he heard a familiar tune. He looked to the tree as a tear fell on his eye, it was his first mother: Meloetta, an imaginary figure. He sighed and laid his back on the tree. The hill he was on was beautiful, but the green color of the hill was too much, that it reminded him of his mother. He felt a tap on the shoulder, it was his mother Erika and her Victreebell “It’s time to go.” She said giving out her hand “But I’d still like to stay.” He said begging to stay here as she just sat down with him “You will later have to let go of your past.” She said but he didn’t want to let go of his past, it was to hard. Erika then heard a familiar tone, it was a mechanized one, then Therian saw smoke, as they stood up and came closer to see a Truck with an R in it. It was so many years since Therian last saw machines in this serene hill, and he would do anything to destroy it. Pip woke up to see the sight and they knew what to do. Pip started spinning the leaves on his head and Therian held on to his legs, as they slowly proppeled to the vehicle Therian let go dropping down to it. Using a “spider” like entrance he looked at the window waving his hand. Pip also landed waving his hands in the same way. The person stopped and threw a pokeball out the window, it was a Scolipede as the man stood out the car. He gave Pip a Hyper Potion from a past injury while they were playing. As the Scolipede was to use Rollout it was wrapped in Vines, Erika was coming in closer. Pip used Bullet Seed to fly the car away before the Grunt could come inside as Erika’s Victreebell multiply smashed the Scolipede elevating then quickly dropping it repeatedly.

He then threw the Scolipede like a frisbee to the Grunt and he flew off, running away. But Therian had a feeling that there would be more. So he decided to go to the city tomorrow, to get more friends.

Doranus wandered through the Ilex Forest, hoping to see his mentor, Celebi, the guardian of Ilex Forest. Since the forest has been teeming with a small group of Dark Whirlipedes led by a Dark Scolipede, the forest has become…different, to say the least. “Shouldn’t be too long before I come across the shrine,” Doranus muttered to himself. In the depths of the forest, he could’ve sworn he heard a familiar Pokemon cry. It sounded rather dark and menacing. Doranus ignored this and moved on to the shrine. He whispered a prayer, quiet so no attention would be drawn to him by passersby, but loud enough to be heard from about 3 meters. After he was done praying, yet another familiar cry was heard by him, this time a more relaxing and reassuring one. “Doranus.” It was Celebi. “You have come to me. Is there a reason for this? I have already taught you what I could.” “I must know, Celebi. The rumors of the Dark Whirlipedes and Scolipede have been to unsettling to ignore. Where are they are they? Are they close by?” Doranus interrogated. “Did someone page us?”

It was the terrorizing group of Dark Whirlipedes and Scolipede. They seemingly came out of thin air. “You scoundrels! You were lying in wait, hoping for me to show myself at the shrine at my most vulnerable position! You must pay for your terrorizing schemes!” Doranus shouted at the group in anger. “Flattery will get you everywhere. However, this time, it’s not the case. You want to stop us? C’mon, then. Show us what you got!” The Scolipede challenged in a mocking tone. Darn, I don’t think I can do it with just Celebi and myself, Doranus cursed. I need others to assist us! Doranus then waited for his impending doom.

Desu was flying around Ilex forest like normal, gathering food and being on the lookout,when he decided he’d like to go pray at the Forest’s Shrine. He started flying on his way there when he noticed, Dark-Scolipede and his gang were there against Celebi and a Dusknoir he doesn’t seem to be able to recognize. Desu whispered to himself “This would be the perfect time to try to get rid of that gang, and maybe I’ll get some new allies as well…” Desu quietly started getting closer to them, then used Aerial Ace on Scolipede, briefly knocking him over “HEY YOU! Dusknoir an Celebi, I’ll distract the Dark-Scolipede you two try to take out the Whirlipede’s for me!” Then Desu begun flying around Scolipede using a series of Aerial Ace’s and Electro Ball’s to try to distract, as well as try not to get attacked in the process…

(I haven’t RP’d in a while, sorry if I’m not to good)

I was walking in a deep forest.
Then i saw a group of Pichu.
Heh i decided to get those oran berries from them.
I went near them and they asked me with their cute voice:
“Do you want some mister”
I hate it when this happens its like a light magic coming in my head.
“Well sure i wi…WAIT A MINUTE! No give me”
I stole the bag from those Pichu’s and ran off.
Haha i rule this place its like my own kingdom.
Then i set on a tree and enjoyed my oran berries.
Then i had a little nap.

A while later after i woke up i saw a Disknoir and that rotten Calebi fighting a bunch of whirlipede!!
It was weird that they didnt have a leader but theres not a battle that im missing!
I wanna level up!
I jump in the circle of whirlipedes where Calebi and Dusknoir were standing.
“We meet again Calebi” i with evil voice.
“But its not the time ok,we got a group of whirlipedes to handle!!!”
I used my Dark Pulse and we began to fight.

7

Doranus muttered something under his breath, then unleashed a series of Fire Punches on the group of Whirlipedes, being careful not to start a wildfire. “Desu, Red, be careful! They’re trying something!” Doranus warned. The Dark Whirlipedes and Scolipede went into an odd formation, somewhat resembling a Darkrai’s collar. They then unleashed a powerful Virus attack, Virus Blast, which tore through Doranus and the others. Doranus rushed over to Celebi, who was battered and covered with bruises. “CELEBI! Speak to me! Are you all right?!” Doranus sobbed. Celebi then closed his eyes and stopped moving. Doranus put his hand against Celebi’s chest. No pulse. Celebi…was dead.

8

“What!? She is dead” i shouted.
“But i wanted to kill her one day!!”
I turned my back and started going on my way but then i realized that we still havent defeat those whirlipedes.
I was all alone now against them…
Desu was still battling that Scolipede while Doranus was next to that Calebi crying.
Ugh i was so hopeless but i started battling.
I quickly used my Volt Tackle on one of them but the others used their rollouts to knock me on the ground again.
I got up fast shadow ball which with i knocked out 2 but then i was knocked down again.
I couldnt do anything, couldnt move, couldnt battle.
They were too many!!
Then i felt this power in me i got up and used my new move Discharge!!
That was hard but all of them were down!!
This was my change to escape! I ran away in the forest!
While going for about 2 mins after what happened i started thinking.
How is Doranus, did he escape, did Desu defeat the Scolipede?
I couldnt do it! I turned back and ran as fast as i can towords them!
When i got there Doranus was still crying i went near him and tap at his back told him to get up and to help us defeat the Scolipede!

When Doranus heard Red’s words, something inside him snapped. He felt…different. He felt a new power welling up inside him. He then used his new desperation move, Earthquake. The Scolipede then fell into the hole the quake caused. “That was for my mentor, you cretin!” Doranus shouted down the hole. Then, all of a sudden, he felt…normal. It was like what snapped was replaced when the Scolipede fell to its death. “Red, Desu. Thank you so much for your help. But about my mentor, Celebi…I needn’t worry any longer. He’s in a better place,” Doranus said, sounding peaceful. Doranus then asked Desu and Red about themselves.

10

Desu was worn out from the battle, having slight trouble speaking, “Well Doranus, like Celebi I try to protect the forest as well,I knew I wouldn’t become known as the forest guardian but I did look up to her, don’t really have a family to look after so it makes thing easier, but when I found out about the virus…this forest has been different all sorts of pokemon are going haywire here…well we know they tried to take out Celebi right? This might mean…the other legendary’s and anything guarding a area could be in in danger if we don’t do something, we should team up for now and try to help pokemon for now, and sadly, people too…maybe, what do you think?”

(I’m going to go on vacation,if I miss to much and can’t catch up with the RP and such I’ll have Desu die somehow…)

As the next day came, it took me thirty minutes from my wake to get up. I was wondering, should I really leave. I just can’t wait for the world to heal, even for a second. As I went outside, I saw mom teaching a newly hatched Bellsprout to balance, and when she saw me she hugged me and gave me some Mint Tea. As I sat on the table I spun my mint tea, it was just so refreshing, should I really leave my home, my place? I looked at Pip, and with a smile he nodded as Mom slowly came to the table and sat down with me. I quickly spoke “Ma, I… I want to go out there and do something!” She was in minimal shock but she smiled and laughed “Even I had weird dreams like you, and since you have them I’ll allow you. Just be careful and remember to be good.” She said and I looked to Pip in joy, we were real gladness! She got a bag and as any trainer needs and she gave me a town map, it was the map of Hoenn. Being in Jagged Pass, and now I leave for new adventures. Pip then starts to fly and I grab on to his legs as his twirls his leaves and flies away like a helicopter. After a while (noting a Hoppip’s weight) he starts to get tired, the lucky part was there was a hot spring nearby so I told him to rest there. As I went down and headed to the herb store an elderly woman stopped me “I’m sorry to bother deary, but may you keep this egg?”

She told me I didn’t really want to accept, what exactly would I do with that? But she forced me “My husband is so sick, he can no longer take care for the poor thing.” I looked to the hot spring “Hop~” said Pip as he sat on the man’s head, the old woman and I laughed a bit, and as I looked at the lady with the wrinkled fingers I felt some sympathy and so I happily accepted the egg, but she rushed to fast before I could ask her a question “I just need to get some medicine, deary.” She said but there was one thing I wanna ask, what was inside? She had already left, as Pip flew beside me and I went trough the crowd of people, I thought the people were gone and I accidentally bumped onto a girl. “Sorry!” He screamed as he tripped and the egg fell out of his hands into the air “Ho~p~m” Said Pip as he perfectly catched the egg, smiling, as he fell down, I tried to catch him both he was able to fly up again. I looked at the woman whom I just bumped, “She looks like a trainer who isn’t doing much.” Maybe, I could get some help from her.

OOC: This is were Carla and I meet (also, note I meant that he was only born in White Forest, I forgot to add the details to where he went.)

I mustn’t let it take control of me tonight… The black vaporeon thought, while under the sea. But she began to feel the evil side press against her thoughts. It was breaking out. She could feel it.

Her pupil less black eyes flashed open, and she darted out of the water, and ran into the forest.

“Gyah!” A pokemon yelped, and the vaporeon felt a small prick. she whipped around, and saw a bayleef glaring at her. The vaporeon Lunged at the bayleef, the Bayleef yelped and used protect, but the dark vaporeon broke through, and whipped her tail at the bayleef, and the tail smashed with power like a storm.

The bayleef flew into a tree, and looked at the Vaporeon.

“A-are you… a dark pokemon?” She whimpered. The vaporeon said nothing. But something in her eyes, those dark, pupil less eyes made the bayleaf want to do something. Made her want to help the vaporeon in some way… Then she realized another aqua tail had crushed her.

As it began to hail large chunks of ice, the dark vaporeon known as Dusk water left to find another victim.

OOC: by the way, it’s night time.

Akira’s claws shredded clean through the Tyrannitar’s Dark Pulse. The Charizard who’s attention was now diverted to the girl, swooped down towards her spewing searing hot flames from his mouth.

“Yuki!” Remilia quickly shouted. The Lapras quickly rushed to aid her trainer, countering the Flamethrower with an Ice Beam attack. Although a water type move would seem more sensible, all Yuki had in a water move was Surf, which could prove a dangerous decision in a place such as this. Lavender Town would have no defense against a tidal wave, let alone this blaze.

Remilia quickly turned to the building, pointing at the blazing roof. “Yuki, put out that fire!”
Remilia quickly found that she was helped. A young trainer and his Azumarill were helping put out the fire. She eventually noticed other trainers getting their Pokemon to help.

The Team Rocket Grunt ordered his Dark Tyrannitar to attack. It lunged at her with a move only known by the Dark-Virus Pokemon. Dark-Claw. Tyrannitar slashed harshly at Akira’s side, badly cutting him.
“AKIRA!” Remilia’s scream alerted all her Pokemon. The lucario landed on it’s back with a thud.

In a rush of flames emerged a Pokemon. It was her famous Volcarona, Helios.
The Team Rocket Grunt seemed unfazed by the display and ordered his Pokemon to attack.
Helios spread his wings and screeched, charging straight for the Dark-Pokemon.
“Now, you may rest.” Said the Volcarona to the brainwashed Pokemon as he used Hurricane, wrapping them both in harsh winds and waters. The small tornado spread across and blew out the flames, but it wasn’t strong enough to damage the buildings. It knocked the Tyrannitar off it’s feet to receive a harsh Ice Beam attack from the waiting Lapras.

The Tyrannitar fainted, but the Charizard was able to withstand the Hurricane, using Flamethrower at Helios.
Akira growled and shot an Aura Sphere at the Dragon-like Pokemon. Despite his injuries, Akira managed to throw quite a decent attack and it knocked the Charizard back a bit, despite the type disadvantage.
Helios used Bug Buzz to distract it while Remilia got to Akira. She returned him, not being able to do anything for him.

Yuki growled and shot a full power Dragon Pulse, knocking out the fire type.The Team Rocket Grunt returned his Pokemon with a worried expression on his face, he looked at the girl and the residents of the town, and took off in a hurry.

Remilia sat down and cradled Akira’s Pokeball. She took some deep breaths, looking at the scorched building beside the PokeCenter. Remmie sighed before standing up and walking to the PokeCenter, returning Yuki and Helios to their Pokeballs. Only a few days back and there was already trouble. This was no simple adventurer’s hurdle, this was an epidemic.

The Kyurem’s howl echoed through the valleys between Mt. Silver. The young trainer had been trying for hours to chase him down. He was toying with him. Kyurem would glide to the peaks of each rock and ridge while blowing harsh gales of frozen air at his poor Unefezant, unable to withstand the cold while chasing the Dragon Type, let alone actually defeating it.

The trainer smirked and pulled out a Pokeball of legends and myths. A tale passed down between legendaries and powerful Pokemon. It was a purple ball with a white ‘M’ on the top half.
Hah, this trainer really thinks a mere piece of plastic will tame me? The boy threw it with all his strength, unfortunately for him, his aim was a little off.

Kyurem chuckled loudly, his mouth wide open expelling a sharp wind at the poor bird Pokemon.
The Unefezant seemed to jump in fear as it flew backwards a few paces.
Kyurem’s frozen body shimmered in the light as he fired his Flash Cannon.
The Unefezant was hit by the shimmering attack, sending it spiraling into an endless fall. Although that drop would have been certain death, Kyurem felt no remorse. That trainer was foolish to battle him in flight with a single Pokemon that was barely able to carry his weight.

The Kyurem roared in a mocking tone to the trainer. His fate was sealed in ice the moment he challenged him. Regardless, Kyurem proceeded his search for a suitable trainer, flying out of the frozen cap of Mt. Silver’s peak in search for a new challenge. Luckily those annoying purple balls were rare enough as it were, he wouldn’t have much trouble anymore.

Tree’s were collapsing, and splintering like cheap imitation wood, as something was hurdled through them, like a wrecking ball that had free’d itself from its chain. Whatever it was, it had lost momentum, and was now rolling across the ground. It only stopped when it slammed into a nearby rockface, cratering into its mountainous side, leaving a hole, and sending cracks along it. The Lucario, who was unfortunate enough to be this wrecking ball, winced, and opened his eyes back up. He gripped his right arm, as he managed to push himself back up. He looked forward, to see his opponent stil standing, and ready for more combat. Ken, the unlucky lucario who was in a bit of trouble, smiled.

“Still up? Good. Thought maybe that virus made you soft-” He said, as he started to taunt his adversary. The mutated, virus lucario merely looekd back with unfeeling eyes. It reared back, and let out an unholy roar, as metal claw was activated, and spread across its hands. Ken finished his sentence; “Rudy.”

The monster flung itself at Ken. Ken, despite his dislocated shoulder, rolled out of the way, the monster stupidly crashing into the rockface. Ken capitalized on the opening, and with his one good arm, jumped up, and tossed in a devastating aura sphere. The attack sent dust and debris out of the newly formed cave. Ken landed on his feet, and peered inside, awaiting a reponse. Rudy’s hand shot out of the dust cloud, and grasped the entirerty of Kens head. It slammed the lucario into the ground, then tossed the lucario like a ragdoll into the cliffside. Ken plumeted back down to the ground, and landed with a thud. Rudy walked over, and prepared an ending blow. As the lumbering lucario closed in, Ken’s eyes shot open, and quickly shifted to a shing blue. In one swift movement, he swung onto his feet, and was inches away from Rudy, who was taken aback by the sudden action. Ken, now in maximum overdrive, performed his last ditch effort move, only used in case of emergencys. With a flurry of kicks, and punches, Ken used close combat to work over Rudy, until the beast fell to its knees. Ken stepped back, breathing rather heavily from the brawl. Eyes still glowing, he had enough left in him for one more move. It had to be a good one, with a witty catchphrase.

“GET OUTTA HERE!” He shouted, as he bit the bullet and gave a powerful kick to Rudy, sending him skyward, and into the distance. Only after did Ken realize he was supposed to bring him back to the temple…well darn. Ken, too tired to really care, collapsed onto the ground, and fell asleep in seconds. What a lazy idiot. Besides, Rudy’s cross country trip, via the air, would probably drop him off the grid temporarily…temporarily anyway.

OoC: Rudy will come back in later. Its all in the timing folks.

15

Dusk water looked into the sky. it was nighttime still. The moon was going down. It looked as if it would rain soon. But the virus didn’t care- it only cared for killing. well, not quiet killing. Only, almost killing- near death, so you would either die, or turn into a virus yourself.

The vaporeon rushed through the forest, and made it to a clearing. In the middle, she saw a Lucario. She smirked, and lunged toward the pokemon…

16

The vaporean charged at Ken, only to find he had already dodged the attack. He had pushed himself into the air, and had landed easily on his feet. He looked at the poor corrupted thing, than gave a warm friendly smile.

“Hi there. You look like you’ve been corrupted for some time. Why don’t you calm down, and let me help you?” Ken asked nicely. He was sincere. All he wanted to do was help. Figuring out how was another mattter completely. Perhaps a Pokecenter would have an antitoxin that could help the vaporean overcome the diesease, or at least sedate its more horrid effects. Ken just hoped the vaporean would listen. Not much was left in him after the fight with Rudy. For 3 days the two would pound each other into the ground, only just a few moments ago did Ken finally get some rest.

17

The vaporeon, clearly not likeing this, made a hissing sound, again charging the lucario, this time using icy wind as it ran.

… but those eyes… something in them just wanted help…

18

Ken lept out of the way, dodgeing to the side. The icy wind made it a bit harder to dodge though. A grazing blow gashed his already useless arm. Ken still wouldn’t quit on the Vaporeon though.

“Just relax kid.” he started, trying to appeal to its probably dromant humanity. “You can beat this. Its your body, not the virus’!” Ken encouraged, not wanting to fight and hurt the Vaporeon.

19

The vaporeon stopped, and growled, this time prowling towards the lucario.
I must break through the barrier… something thought in the Dusk water’s mind. the vaporeon hissed again, the Virus suppressing the real vaporeon inside.

20

Ken noticed the slower approach. Perhaps a sign of an inner struggle. Ken would have to distract the vaporeon out here, so the vaporeon in there could break free.

“Keep fighting kid.” He encouraged more, ready to dodge any oncoming attacks. “Break free.”.
