Introduction
“Welcome to the world of Pokemon!”
Pokemon have also been observed to like battling and the like, such as the aggressive Tauros who headbutted trees when it had nothing much to do, and who whipped itself with its three tails to propel itself forward.
Humans and Pokemon live in harmony, and most become lifelong partners and help each other through thick and thin. People who train Pokemon are called Pokemon Trainers, and use their Pokemon to battle. Not all people go for Pokemon battling though, as there are always Coordinators who use Pokemon for the purpose of Contests.
“A new island and system…”
Recently, a group of explorers found an island. Now this island was strange, for even if it had no exclusive Pokemon to be found on it alone, it was teeming with different Pokemon from all over the six regions discovered. One of the scientists that came with the explorers proposed that they make facilities on the island, and therefore named it Edanes Island.
They soon made a University on the island after their research, inviting Trainers and Coordinators to come on in. The University was called Zenith, accepting both Trainers and Coordinators to further their goals and train themselves and their Pokemon more. A unique system within the university was developed, rightfully named the tier system.
University Tier System:
With much of the island being unexplored, there was no stopping the younger freshman Trainers from heading off and meeting with unexpected accidents along the way. Some simply didn’t have the ability yet. As such, the university had to enforce stricter rules. Yet, they can’t simply take away the student’s freedom to explore. To that end, the tier system was announced. Aside from serving as an indication of the student’s ability rank, they also provide them with additional privileges for their stay in the university.
Normal – The rank with the least amount of privileges. Enrollees are automatically assigned this rank upon enrollment.
Great – Only students who have attained this rank are allowed to shift disciplines; from Trainer to Coordinator and vice-versa. Once they shift, they remain at the second rank.
Premier – These students are now allowed to stay out beyond university curfew though still discouraged. They are also finally allowed to go out the university walls without being accompanied by any administration member.
Ultra – Only students who have reached this rank are allowed to use Mega-evolution within official school-sanctioned battles.
Master – All options are available and one is already free to leave the university, signaling their “graduation”. They are now allowed to compete in competitions outside the island though only three will be entered by the university.
Normal - The rank with the least amount of privileges. Enrollees are automatically assigned this rank upon enrollment.
Super - Only students who have attained this rank are allowed to shift disciplines; from Trainer to Coordinator and vice-versa. Once they shift, they remain at the second rank.
Hyper - These students are now allowed to stay out beyond university curfew though still discouraged. They are also finally allowed to go out the university walls without being accompanied by any administration member.
Elite – Only students under this rank are allowed to use Mega-evolution within official school-sanctioned contests.
Grand – Same but they are entered in the Grand Festival instead. Unlike the Trainers, there are no limits as to the number of Master rank coordinators who can enter.
The ascension system has also been developed as a form of test for the students, allowing them to move up in rank. The test varies for each tier and the date of the exam is scheduled by the students themselves or upon completion of the requirements.
Normal – Acquired upon enrollment.
Great/Super Rank – Normal students have to beat one student at this rank in an official school-sanctioned battle or contest.
Premier/Hyper Rank – Complete all basic exploration courses and beat one administrator or professor in an official school-sanctioned battle or contest.
Ultra/Elite Rank – Find one Mega-Stone within the island. Stones found outside the island are not counted.
Master/Grand Rank – Finish all basic, intermediate and advanced courses and win the year-end university-wide tournament. Only one student is promoted to this rank every year.
Types of roles available:
Incoming students – Will start out as normal rank. New, freshman enrollees coming in at Zenith University.
Old-Timers – Allowed to start as Great-Premier rank. Sophomores, juniors and seniors.
Professors – Must be reserved via PM and character will have to be personally screened by a mod. Limited number.

To whom it may concern:
We are pleased to inform you that your son/daughter, __________, has been accepted at Zenith University. Our school is known for equipping aspiring Trainers and Coordinators additional knowledge to further enhance their talent in handling the fantastic creatures known as Pokemon to further open additional options they can explore for their career.
There would be an interview at exactly 8’o clock on the morning of April 27 in which your son/daughter will be given his/her handbook, dormitory assignment and course outline. Thank you and welcome to Zenith University.
Sincerely,
The administration
Island Layout (Places)
University Proper – Separated into several buildings along a huge campus, the University boasts several institutions within. Buildings for battle Trainers and Coordinators where they take their classes, a Coliseum for official battles, an Amphitheater for Contests, a school market with a huge selection, an orchard, a library and the dormitories. It also has a service road that leads to the harbor where students may go to, granted they have the proper permission.
Forests – A vast forest covers much of the land. Wild Pokemon roam about and the school administration is in charge of maintaining the borders between the forests and the university. Students can catch their own Pokemon here as long as they are accompanied by a member of the faculty or have reached Premier Rank above. It is divided into several areas for easy mapping but, despite best efforts, only 35% of the forests are explored.
Mt. Scandia – A large mountain stands at the far north. Snow regularly falls at its peak and even the most experienced of explorers have difficulties in climbing it. A road has been paved that will allow direct access to the mountain from the University and an outpost has been established on the base of the mountain.
Harbor – Where students come and go. Shipment arrives here on a weekly basis and also holds a nice fishing spot. To leave the island, one must be Master rank above. Otherwise, they must be accompanied by their parents.
Seaside Cavern – West of the harbor is a cave formed naturally, playing home to an array of bizarre Pokemon. Only students who are Premier Rank above can explore this place.
Old Lighthouse – Possibly the remnants of an earlier settlement before being reclaimed by nature, the old lighthouse stands tall and strong, located by the far eastern side of the University. The equipment inside no longer works and had now become home to wild Pokemon preferring the empty, urban setting.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 5 authors
"Hm..."
The morning sun shone brightly on the university grounds. The chirping of Pidgeys and the rustling of grass caused by young Pokemon stirring up trouble could be heard even within the campus, only to be disturbed by the honking of a ship soon docking at the shores of Edenas Island. A certain, black-haired boy pushed back his hood to turn his head to the honking, smiling quietly. "The new students are arriving today huh? They came earlier than usual..." Shirou turned back to the task at hand though, as the turtle-like Pokemon in front of him abruptly bent over to grab something off the ground. "Alto! Hold still!" The small smile on his face disappeared as Shirou scolded the Blastoise a little. He put down the hose- It had become a habit of him to keep his Pokemon in top shape, and if it meant also washing Alto's shell, brushing out dust from Ataro's mane and sharpening Tsubaki's blades, then he would gladly do it. The hardest part? Alto just loved food and would only stay still if he was eating.
The Blastoise let out a happy cry and munched on the apple it held in its small claws. Shirou just sighed and aimed the hose again, watching absentmindedly as Alto's small tail thumped a little. After a bit, he turned off the faucet and patted the Blastoise's back. "Alright big guy. We should go. The Master-ranks usually show up to oversee the rookies coming in every semester." The Blastoise tilted his head before he sighed and raised another apple. After drying the shell off, soon, Shirou set out with Alto trailing just behind him.
"...This is bound to be another great semester, huh?"
RING! RING!!
A mound of blankets and pillows slowly shifted as a slim hand reached out to hit the snooze button on the alarm clock. It quickly disappeared back inside the mound before finally, a black, hound-like Pokemon moved to the bed and tugged off the blanket with its teeth. A girl with light pink hair was revealed from underneath, and she slowly opened dark pink eyes to glanced sleepily over. "Mm...Yoru, what time is it?" The Houndoom just nudged her hand before jumping up onto the bed and curling up beside her. "...So he just wanted to sleep on the bed." Rhia just sighed as she stroked her Houndoom's head a little before starting to pull her blankets over herself again when suddenly--
"H-Hey, Shinichi, cut it out!" She frowned a little as the Infernape jumped up on the bed and frowned at her, letting out a small cry and pointing to the calendar. Rhia squinted at the calendar before sighing. "So the rookies come today...hm..." She started to get up to pull back the curtains, looking out at Edenas and the campus grounds of Zenith University. "...Ascension..." Rhia looked at her Pokemon again. Yoru was still sleeping on the bed, Shinichi was waking up another sleeping figure in the corner. She noticed a spot of green start to come out. Kurosaki. "...Advancing to Ultra-rank...the requirement is to find a Mega Stone..." Her Gallade yawned and waved to her a little. She waved back before stretching and heading to the shower.
"...I wonder if I should advance this year."
A few minutes- well, she didn't keep track of the time, she didn't really care- later she emerged again, pulling on her usual blouse and jacket and the cat cap that hung on a chair. "Shinichi!" She called out as she grabbed the doorknob to her room. The Infernape jumped off the bed and walked over to her, pointing to Yoru and the still sleepy Kurosaki. "...We shouldn't disturb their rest. Come on, you already disturbed mine." Even through her tone, she smiled and pat her Infernape on the shoulder a little. It just let out a small cry as they proceeded outside.

The young girl slowly woke up from bed, stretching as she rubbed the sleep out of her yellow eyes. She heard cackling coming from her side and saw her Banette staring at her. She smiled.
"Good morning to you as well, Mimi. How are you?"
Taking the ghost Pokemon, it shifted into its disguise as a stuffed bunny. The girl walked over to the bathroom and fixed herself up. Even if she was a Master Coordinator, no one looked good waking up out of bed. She brushed her long platinum hair and got out five hair dye.
"Cool, Tough, Beautiful, Cute, Clever... These five must be mastered in order to become a perfect Coordinator. And I, Skyler Evangeline, will help all Coordinators realize this dream."
She headed out to the meeting area and saw new students come in. She braced herself for which new Coordinator would approach her.
Zeami Katsura was lost. Well, she was technically in the vicinity but she had no clue where exactly she was. Dark circles hung under her eyes and she walked, trying to find someone. She couldn't sleep as dark thoughts would torment her about how useless she was. The Wooper beside her let out a worried cry and Zeami stopped and pet him.
"It's alright... I'll be fine, try not to worry so much."
She soon saw a boy wearing a white and blue hood washing a Blastoise.
"Excuse me. Can you point out where I need to be? I'm a new trainer."

Jack Gerudo woke up early that morning. As one of the Professors, he took the opportunity of seeing new students arrive with pride, joy, and a little bit of eagerness. The alarm which sounded as Jack was in the bathroom brushing his hair was to wake to his partner, Lucario, instead of Jack himself. "Caaaaar," Lucario sighed as it woke up. "C'mon, Lucario. We have a big day today seeing the new students!" Jack said from the bathroom as he finished brushing his hair. He walked out to see Lucario stand up from it's mat on the floor (Lucario preferred sleeping like that) and stretch out. "Don't forget your Stone," Jack said to Lucario as it rubbed the sleep out of it's eyes. Lucario then reached over to the table where it kept it's Lucarionite gauntlet, and slipped it on it's wrist.
Lucario's gauntlet had been custom-made, designed to look like a sleek black ninja glove with the Lucarionite set above the forearm. It was made to fit on Lucario's right hand, which is where you would usually find it. Jack has an accompanying Megastone set into the glove that he was slipping onto his left hand.
Jack then turned to leave, and began to- "Car. Lucar," Lucario called picking up Jack's trenchcoat. "Oh, thank you. I had forgotten about it. Anything else before we leave?" Jack asked Lucario, who looked around the room briefly before shaking it's head no. "Alright, then. Let's go!"
Jack and Lucario walked through the school grounds side by side, always enjoying the sights the school had to offer. Jack loved the location of the school, and Lucario felt the same. After a short time, they arrived at the docks to see the ship begin unloading it's passengers. "A lot of new kids this year," Jack said to Lucario, who replied, "Lucar".

"It's not as if I've stopped trying. It's just that I prefer taking things at my own natural pace rather than just throwing myself out there, grabbing whatever opportunity comes running along."
Ayumi had always wanted to say this out loud whenever some Premier Rank student like her was lucky enough to find a Mega Stone without it getting stolen or lost somewhere. Unlike hers--Whatever. There was no use thinking about these kinds of things too much. She stared out the window of her dormitory and spotted a bunch of rookies, most likely lost looking for their room assignments.
"Come to think of it, it's the start of a semester again..."
Ayumi changed into her uniform and headed out, taking care to shut the door and lock it lest someone gets it in their heads to rummage through her items. So many people. Ayumi felt a little uncomfortable. She wasn't used to crowds. Always felt suffocated by them. Most of them were newcomers or people around her rank showing off what they know. Whether or not the newcomers appreciate this, she doesn't know.
"Morning!" A student suddenly walked up to her. Ayumi remembers her as an old roommate, already moved up to Ultra Rank. "You seem to be in a good mood as usual, Seisa."
"I was until you suddenly showed up." She replied sternly, not stopping to even look at her. The same person simply walked at the same pace, trying to continue their conversation.
"You're still Premier Rank? When do you plan on moving up?"
"Maybe...When Gabite evolves." Stupid excuse, Ayumi realized. But it was all she could think of on the spot.
"Then it won't take long right? I'll be waiting. And then, we can battle and share rooms again." Another group passed them and called out to her old roommate. She bids Ayumi goodbye and went on to rejoin her own group. All alone, Ayumi took out Gabite's Ball.
"Who am I kidding? It's not as if I use you every chance I get." Ball still in her hand, she carried on, arriving at the designated classroom. It was time to welcome the newcomers and almost everyone is part of the welcome committee save for a few who chose to study in the rooms or spar with each other or, those like her who simply arrived without anything special planned.

Rue Sonna
”All aboard!” The fog horn of the large ferry sounded off in the distance. Today was the big day, the day that Rue would start a new chapter of her life. It was about time. There were many kids dotted all over the docks, waiting to board the ferry and begin the journey to Zenith University. But Rue hung back, nervous and rather stressed about the whole thing despite the desire to go.
With a silence that clung to her, she pulled at the high collar of her hoodie, checking for the umpteenth time that it hid her skin. A soft chatter at her feet caught her attention, her eyes glancing down to the grassy earth. Peekey looked up at her in a concerned sort of manner, pawing at the skin of her leg with a small, worried frown.
Gorund lay nearby, sunbathing. The Mightyena’s chest rose and fell heavily, one ear twitching every once in a while, ever listening to what was around him. His chin rested lazily on his forearm, but he did bother to glance back at his trainer when the ship horn sounded.
It was time, and Rue didn’t want to make a bad impression the first day for being late for anything. Vorix, her Scolipede, was safely tucked away in his pokeball so he wouldn’t cause any trouble, though she could feel the contempt emanating from the contraption. The rest of her team were in the same way, resting in their pokeballs.
The trainer quickly made her way onto the ship for a very long and stressful boat ride.
~~~
With another sounding from the fog horn indicating that they had arrived at Zenith’s docks, Rue nervously picked at her sleeves. She had remained away from all of the other kids, which may have been a poor first decision since she did want to make some acquaintances, hidden away in one of the far corners of the ship’s hull.
She made her way up to the decks after most of the other trainers and coordinators had left, marking her as a straggler. Not that she really minded. Her only concerns were in her indecision on whether or not to force her way through her shyness and participate and be in the midst of the throngs of new students, or remain in her awkward silence and hope that nobody noticed her the entire day, which, let’s face it, was highly unlikely. Especially since she had to go and sign in and everything.
With her Furret perched on her shoulder, fluffy tail swishing along Rue’s back as she excitedly looked about the expanse of the island before her, switching from one shoulder to the other and chattering excitedly, crawling all over the girl’s head to travel between the two, Rue carefully made her way down the boarding ramp.
Gorund followed nonchalantly after her, though his eyes were deceptively keen, always watching for any threats or pissants that might bother her. But everyone else had by then already pretty much dispersed from the docks to head to the University.
You can do this Rue. You can do this. She thought worriedly to herself, rubbing at her left forearm in a nervous tick. At least no one was looking at her....
Addie Norbuckle
Adder was wickedly excited. It was finally the day that he’d get to head off to Zenith and learn how to be a coordinator! It was a new day, a new start, and a new adventure, and he’d be darned if it wasn’t going to be absolutely awesome.
”Hey, maybe we’ll even get to meet some cute girls~” His grin was huge and cheesy as he spoke to his Noctowl, Specs, who was currently flapping his wings to cause a bit of a breeze for the little green Cubone who was sitting at Addie’s feet, his bone carefully balanced between his two small legs.
Specs trilled loudly in playful agreement, tucking his wings in and tilting his head up to look at his partner. It was then that the ship’s horn sounded and the three of them were making their way to board the ship. With Pericles safely in his crossed arms and Specs trailing overhead, the trio settled themselves on the ferry.
”Man, this is going to be so awesome!” Adder clenched his hand into a resilient fist, a determined grin on his face as he looked out over the water. His Noctowl called out in agreement, wings fluttering excitedly as he too watched out over the water.
~~~
When the ship finally docked, Addie was among the first to run down off of the boarding plank, pokemon close in tow. There seemed to be an almost permanent grin plastered to his face. He was excited to meet all of the new people and get started making friends.
"Excuse me. Can you point out where I need to be? I'm a new trainer."
"W-Whoa!"
Shirou snapped out of his trance as he turned around. Alto munched on another apple and tilted his head as he moved closer to sniff the new Trainer. "A-Alto! That's rude!" He tugged on his blue arm and pushed him back a little as he turned back to the newcomer. A girl, orange hair, blue eyes...that had eyebags, he noticed. Maybe she was too excited to sleep? Maybe she just couldn't sleep at all? Or maybe she just had a problem with sleeping and--
"Dammit my thoughts are wandering!"
"Well, the newcomers are usually led to the school grounds and allowed to wander around the school. Master-rank Trainers along with professors are assigned to specific places to help newcomers if they get lost, and..." Shirou pointed a little to his ID, which he slid out of his hoodie pocket. "I'm one of those said Master-rank Trainers. Is there anywhere you'd like to see first in the campus?"

"I'm one of those said Master-rank Trainers. Is there anywhere you'd like to see first in the campus?"
Zeami blinked as the Blastoise sniffed her. What was it? Did she wear some kind of strange perfume to him or was that how he said hello? The Wooper happily chirped at the Blastoise as if in greeting. She listened to the man explain.
"... You're one of the masters?"
The girl tilted her head.
"You don't look like it. You seem like a newcomer but I guess appearances can be deceiving."
A faint smile appeared before it vanished.
"I'm Zeami. Pleasure to meet you. As for where I'd like to go... I'll just let you show me around the campus."
Skyler kept her eyes open and surveyed the area. There seemed to be little to no Coordinators.
"Hmph, how disappointing..."
Even so, the girl waited patiently until the moment she was called up to help out any and all new Coordinators. She would work hard to keep her status and to help others looking to understand the beauty of Contests.

The girl tilted her head.

"I'm Zeami. Pleasure to meet you. As for where I'd like to go... I'll just let you show me around the campus."
Skyler kept her eyes open and surveyed the area. There seemed to be little to no Coordinators.
"Hmph, how disappointing..."
Even so, the girl waited patiently until the moment she was called up to help out any and all new Coordinators. She would work hard to keep her status and to help others looking to understand the beauty of Contests.

Most recent OOC posts in Pokemon - Ascension
Re: Pokemon - Ascension
Sorry for having like no activity recently. My laptop charger died out last week, and I couldn't get a new one until today. Then I was gone Thursday and Friday.
I'm actually fairly disappointed really. I thought that the posts were going to be much longer and actually hold some detail in them to aid in setting the scene and the likes, but everything seems to mainly be all over the place. When I saw that this was a literate roleplay, I was expecting at least 300 words a post, rather than less than 150.
In any case, I'll still make a post~ I don't intend to be negative about it or anything. :P

Re: Pokemon - Ascension
@Saya I think the site downtime discouraged a few players and that makes me a little sad. :( But the starting post is up! Feel free to reply!
@donanater1 Ahh sorry for the late reply, was sidetracked. The starting post is already uploaded so you can just follow up your character if that's okay with you.

Re: Pokemon - Ascension
Sorry for the late reply, but ill have a Character up tomorrow night. Work truly took over my life last few days and this is the first time I've been home not passed out from tiredness, so I'll post mine tomorrow night if that's fine, thx.
Re: Pokemon - Ascension
Are all the characters in? Do the people who asked to join still have any plans to? And most important question I have...When do we start?
Re: Pokemon - Ascension
@kyuukonhime Sorry for the very late reply, but yeah, slots are still open!
@Everyone Okay, so the realization hit me as hard as having numerous Draco Meteors raining down on my head- we have a severe lack of Great-rank Trainers. The requirement for Normal-rank Trainers to ascend is to beat a Great-rank Trainer in an official battle by the school.
But don't lose hope! For the Normal-rank students, I'll allow you to create a student NPC that's Great-rank so that your Trainer can ascend to the Great Rank as well. (This only applies to Normal-rank Trainers though, sorry Great rank and Premier ^^;) But don't rush! Try to develop your character more and keep the Pokemon spirit alive!
Another announcement: For those who have still not submitted their characters, we may be starting soon so if you can, try to catch up. There's a WIP right now so I may wait for that character to finish and we'll start. Hope to see you all~!
From the very happy Nidoking

Re: Pokemon - Ascension
Haah!! I'm so excited to start! I love everyone's characters and the amount of diversity between them all. I've finished my character finally, and am now working on my own Coordinator! Stoked to write with all of you guys!
Re: Pokemon - Ascension
AHHHH IT GOT POPULAR OVERNIGHT--

Re: Pokemon - Ascension
@Elqa (I cannot type your name sorry) Yay, another Coordinator~! I thought I was the only one~
Re: Pokemon - Ascension
{I have never role played Pokemon before, but it sounds like so much fun!}
I would like to be two roles, a male and a female. I can handle it I promise. :)
{Normal Trainee.}
My female would be Sakura Miku from Vocaloid.
{Hyper Coordinator}
My male would be Akari from karneval
And my favorite Pokemon, because I am too girly, Slyveon! hehehehe

Re: Pokemon - Ascension
I was somehow worried that no one might start as a newcomer...Okay, I'll downplay mine a little. Only really went for Garchomp immediately due to a bad experience I had in my last Pokemon RP...
Re: Pokemon - Ascension
Loving this idea well here's my FC Gourry from Slayers.
And my favorite Pokemon will be Gardevoir, She has my back since the old gaming days:
I would love to start off as a normal trainer since after all that's what Pokemon is all about starting from the bottom and moving to the top.

Re: Pokemon - Ascension
After hours of searching for an anime claim to fit my character's personality and coming up with absolutely nothing, I'm deciding to just go with what I have for my female character. It'll still look nice, don't worry~ xD
Buuut Furret is definitely one of my favorites!~
Depending on what I've asked you in my PM, I think I may have my character be a newcomer as well. Trainer.

Re: Pokemon - Ascension
Well, I would like to be involved. I'll like to grab Uryuu Ishida for the FC (because using mainstream Anime isn't going to to have an affect on how people see my character at all.)
For favorite pokemon, Ninetales all the way.
Just look at this majestic mother...
Anyway I would like to have a newcomer, so that'll be normal level. I'm not sure between Trainer or Co-ordinator.

Re: Pokemon - Ascension
Yo! I'd like to reserve a premier level student, please. My face claim will be Date Masamune from Sengoku Basara, and as for my favorite Pokemon, though it's super hard to decide, it's probably a tie between Garchomp and Steelix.
Re: Pokemon - Ascension
Hey there, I'll be PMing you my character idea in a moment, but my face claim would most likely be Seto Kaiba, and my favorite pokemon is Aggron.
Re: Pokemon - Ascension
Well, we've been talking about it for quite a while so:
Face Claim is Mikagura Seisa from Mikagura Gakuen no Kumikyou:
Favorite Pokemon is Mismagius:
Might make a sophomore Premier rank old timer, if that's okay.

Re: Pokemon - Ascension
Dang~!! This looks promising! Well, my face claim for Skyler is going to be Mayu from Vocaloid and my favorite Pokemon is a tie between Banette, Misdreavus and Stantler. Is it cool if I reveal my rank now or should I wait until more characters are in? I'll work on my Skyler after school.
