If you're in the IC of the thread with the same name, this might be the place for you. Some characters might apprieciate a place to express their thoughts on the day's events. If so, just create one entry and edit it every 'day' in the RP. If you don't want to, that's also okay. And if you don't keep up, that's also fine. Most of the time in real life, I don't...

Still, I figured I'd create this in case you're interested in using it.

Dear Skyler:

It's been a long time since I last saw you. You left Violet City to adventure by yourself over a year ago. Last summer. I miss you a lot. So do the others. Since this is a diary, you'll never read this, but I wish you at least would write home. Mom and Dad are worried about you. Where are you?

Well, tomorrow's the first day of Pokemon School. Me and Elie and Tekno are still attending. Elie and Myra are getting restless, though. I think that they will follow suit soon and leave. Actually, I'm considering going with them. Future historian or not, I am gonna need to see the world at some point.

Other than that, there's not much to say. I'm excited about tomorrow. It promises to be a sunny day, so I'll probably go to my favorite spot after school and play guitar. Plus, Mom's making macaroni. I can't wait!

-Love, Jazz

*(Sounds awesome. I think I might give it a go.)*

Really don't know what to say. I've attempted everything I could possibly think of. Current project results on the Turbo Screamer Mk. XVII are not progressing well. The spark plugs are perfectly fine when tested in other appliances, yet fail to fire on the TS. The carburetor and actuator for the engine fan are malfunctioning, yet the fuel injection system appears to be working fine when tested on its own accord, as does the actuator...but when installed, everything fails to fire up. I suspect that the issue may lie in with the pump, but I honestly have no idea. It could simply be the parts I ordered. If it is, I'm going to be sending one long, nasty e-mail and demanding my money back.

I had a feeling I shouldn't have bought those cheap parts from that Sinnoh dealer off of Pbay.

In any case, I would like to test this theory but as I am currently covered in oil, grease, and stinking of gasoline after having spent over fourteen hours with this damned thing I'm ready to simply call it quits. I've received no e-mails or messages on the boards I went to asking for help that was actually of any use outside of what I've already attempted. Besides, school is starting up again tomorrow and it's extremely late. I should have showered and been in bed four hours ago.

Kind of excited, actually. I hear we may be getting a visit from Mr. Stone of the Devon Corporation! All the way from Hoenn! Can you imagine? It's likely a rumor, but I really want to meet him! There's so many things I wish to discuss with him...I've sent several e-mails regarding my ideas to the Silph Co. in Saffron, but the only reply I've gotten back where that they had plenty of engineers staffed, and that I was too young for a job. Seriously! I don't want a job...I mean, that'd be cool, I guess, but I was hoping to sell some of my patents for them to manufacture! Those jerkasses better not steal any of my ideas, either...I'll be taking a VEEEERY close look at their company products for the next several months here. If I see anything even remotely resembling my ODs (Original Designs) they'll be hit with a lawsuit so fast they'll feel it all the way down to their grunts!

...Although, they probably have a veritable army of lawyers. And I'm just some kid from Johto. ...I may need to rethink my strategy here.

Ah well. I really better get off. I'm looking forward to seeing Jazz <3 and everyone back at school again. She seems kinda down...I wonder if its because her brother left around this time last year. Anyway, I'll see if I can't cheer her up!

Right. Logging off now. Later!

Ugh. School again? Already? And I've already started the year off with another fight with my parents. I still can't believe they expect me to be a doctor, or a lawyer, or something stupid like that. I'm not built for that kind of work! I'm going to be a pokemon master. Me and my pokemon have been training so hard already!

I'm really getting tired of staying here. I swear I should have gone with Skyler. I knew I should have. We weren't ready then though, not like we are now. I'm going to get out of here soon, and maybe even catch up with him. My parents held me back last year, they won't this time though! Maybe Myra will come with me? I know she wants to leave. Jazz might come to, she wants to be a historian. Tekno might, i'm sure he would enjoy the chance to show some big timers his inventions.



Nothing is going as planned. Me and Myra planned to leave tomorrow morning, but we may be leaving tonight. I'm not sure what happened to my family, or the rest of the town for that matter. We have to leave to avoid Team Universe, the group responsible for all of this. They came in trying to steal our pokemon, but that won't happen, that's for sure. We fought back (Sort of) and now we're on the run, but we're looking for Myra.

They burned down the tower. That was our tower, all of ours. Well, Not really, but it felt like it. I swear, if we ever meet up with the people in charge of this organization i'll tear 'em a new one. I know I wanted to leave, but not like this. I never wanted it to be like this...

Currently Listening To: Nothing

Today, my world has absolutely gone to @%^$. My home was invaded and wrecked, my friends and I displaced, and we're all currently on the run from some unknown enemy. FML

Seriously, today started out like a normal day today. Nothing surprising, nothing unusual. Nearly got caught hacking into the school's mainframe and downloading my homework assignments, but...that's not really gonna do me any good. Long story short, my friends and I went through the school day and decided to skip out around lunch. We were all getting bored with school so we figured we'd probably all head out on a Pokemon journey, like our friend and brother Skyler did a year ago yesterday.

But...something odd happened. We all got attacked by these strange men in black demanding our Pokemon. Of course, we refused, and in retaliation, they attacked our homes. Last I saw, Sprout Tower was up in flames, and I don't know how any of our families are doing. We all got away, plus a couple of young twins from our neighborhood who are too young to officially start training. I'm really worried about my mom and dad...but I can't focus on them right now. Right now, we need to stay together. We need to stay alive. From what I understand from listening in on everyone else here, these people had guns and weren't afraid to kill us.

...Question is, though, who the hell are these people? Why are they after us? What do they want with our Pokemon? ...I just don't know, but I guess only time will tell.

--T. Lahjik

We're in a cave at the Ruins of Alph. Tomorrow officially starts our Pokemon Journey. Nothing is going to keep me from becoming a Pokemon master, and nobody is going to hurt my friends. If I meet the leader of team Galaxy... Our conversation won't go so smoothly.

Dear Skyler:

Today has been crazy.

First, school. I've decided that I should've stopped going years ago. None of the information is even relevant to me anymore, since I now know more history than is taught in the class. So I skipped the socond half of the day.

When I was at lunch with the gang, I found out that Myra and Elie want to leave to become Pokemon trainers, like you did. Apparently, Tekno's up for the idea, since he would have to travel anyway for his job. As for me, well, I'm game to leave. So as far as I knew, I would have been leaving in a few weeks with the others, to find you.

Of course, that is no longer possible. We left sooner. Tonight.

These men in black suits - Team Universe, they called themselves - came through the town tonight and tried to take everyone's Pokemon, and threatened to kill those who refused. Not just a few, but all of them. They razed the Sprout Tower, Skyler. They destroyed all of its history, the home of the monks, and our last refuge in such a place. Me, the gang, and the Rightly twins from next door are the only ones who were able to get away with our Pokemon, so now we're on the run. The grunts don't know who we are, but if they see us, they'll try to take our Pokemon and leave us helpless.

And I'm not giving up my Pokemon.

So now were trying to find you after all, Sky. I hope it works out.

-Love, Jazz
