In recent times, Pokémon have been vanishing from this world. Fewer and fewer appear in the wild anymore, and people only have a guess as to why. It’s believed that their disappearance is somehow connected to the sudden increase in the number of people that own shadow Pokémon…at least, that’s what people are saying. The Pokémon used by these trainers are more powerful than most. Rumor has it that there’s a new group utilizing machinery, very similar to what had been used before, in the Orre region, to create shadow Pokémon out of wild Pokémon. However, that still doesn’t explain the sudden drop in wild Pokémon completely. After all, there are still many more Pokémon missing than there are shadow Pokémon owned by trainers. And that certainly doesn’t explain why the few Pokémon that are still found in the wild are much more vicious lately, attacking to kill, even if they aren’t hunting for food. Their only hope: The School.




The school itself exists on an island, where Pokémon are still common enough, but even now they are slowly starting to vanish. The students are split into two separate teaching styles, one for seeing and understanding, and one for catching and training.





One student from each program is partnered up, to create a team of two that can successfully capture, train, purify, and release Pokémon into the wild. These pairs are not allowed to leave the island except in teams. A team will be made up of several pairs, led by the eldest in the group. These teams will only leave the island on specific missions, and those missions can only be assigned by a teacher, and are to be taken very seriously. Some teams will be sent out more often than others, based on previous accomplishments, and teams and pairs may not be reassigned unless there is a very serious problem.

Pairs and teams are also assigned by teachers, based on evaluations, accomplishments, how well they are expected to get along, and how well their abilities will complement each other. Their only goal is to make up teams and pairs that will work well together, and will be able to survive without any more help than their partner or team can provide.


Each student is allowed to catch their first Pokémon at the age of 16, though a few may be allowed to catch their Pokémon at 15, provided they pass a certain test. You are allowed to catch any Pokémon that exists on the island. These Pokémon may be temporary, and can be replaced by another when sent on a mission off the island.

When catching your Pokémon, you may ask an older student or teacher aid you. This is highly suggested, as every year new students are assigned to a team led by older students. This helps students and teachers get to know each other before they are assigned new teams, when one is split up due to graduation, or expulsion.

It is also required that every student is checked on regularly by the team leader pair, to make sure that no Pokémon is mistreated. If a Pokémon is found to be mistreated, that Pokémon may be taken away, nursed back to health and, depending on the Pokémon’s behavior, either kept as a Pokémon to help purify shadow Pokémon, or released back into the wild.





The schools rules are very simple:

1. Try to get along with your fellow classmates.

2. You may not own more than one Pokémon at any given time; however, you may release your present Pokémon to capture another.

3. You will work with your partner, and not another partner, unless your partner is unable to help at that time.

4. You listen to your team leader; they are the ones guiding you, and know what they are doing.

5. Respect your Pokémon; they are living, breathing creatures, just as you and your partner are.

6. Boys are not to enter the girls dorm, just as girls are not to enter the boys dorm.

7. You will be in your dorm, and at the very least be quiet, by 10PM. You are to remain quiet, or asleep, until 7AM, when everyone is to report for breakfast.


That’s not to say that, in this rp, you must obey the school rules or you can’t rp here anymore; rather, keep in mind that teachers are capable of punishing you for it and, if you break enough school rules, you will be sent home, and will not be allowed to attend.


Here’s the character skeleton; we will only be playing out students; teachers will be controlled by the gm and co-gm. Remember to do well when typing everything up; how well you write out your character sheet will aid us in deciding whether or not we accept your character.
