Pokemon Gijinka: Variant Shadows

Teaser:
Sounds of 8 bit music began to fill the air, emanating from the small flashing blue device held in the young child’s hands. Soft blue eyes glimmered with anticipation as a familiar logo filled the screen before fading away briefly, only to be replaced by the gritty 8 bit figures of a Nidorino and a Gengar as they sized each other up from opposite sides of the small screen. Nidorino gave a few excited hops, perhaps using an agility skill but it was impossible to tell. Gengar responded by raising a right arm in a horribly telegraphed attack, before bringing it down as the Nidorino dodged with ease.
“Sarah?” A woman’s voice spoke in tender tones as she entered the room and leaned over the child buried in stuffed toys. A pair of light purple-almost pink fox like ears adorned the top of the woman’s head, matching her similar colored hair. They twitched occasionally, sensitive to the harsh 8 bit noises emitted by the game her daughter was playing. “Sweetie, why don’t you turn that off and join your siblings and father on the couch? The championship match is on tonight.” She implored her, staring down at her tenderly with a pair of softly glowing blue eyes.
“Jewel! I cut the chilled Oran berries as you asked, and am waiting here for you. Sarah, come on over with your mom and watch this with your siblings and parents!” The father’s deep yet warm voice sounded out from a nearby room, causing Jewel to smile as she crouched down by her daughter. “Come on then, let’s go to the rest of the family.” She whispered quietly before nuzzling Sarah, earning a few giggles from the young girl before she scooped her up and carried her into the media room…but not before sneakily using a soft bifurcated tail to mute her daughter’s game, putting an end to the 8 bit noises the machine made.
The two sat down by the father and her other siblings, whose eyes were already glued to the images appearing on the display screen. “Just in time you two. The news section ended, so you arrived right at the good stuff.”
The family all soon quieted down, their gazes focused on the screen as the child turned off her game and snuggled in-between her mother and father. Letting out a small sigh she too turned her wide eyes to the broadcast.
Camera crews barked orders to one another over the ever present roar of the colosseum. People had gathered to this scene in the hundreds, all eager to witness this month’s challenger in action. The lights had already begun to dim as an announcers charismatic voice somehow managed to rise even above the noise of the crowd. “Ladies and gentlemen…tonight we bring you the third part of a saga! Witness the rise of a star that has already defeated three of the elite four…Introducing the challenger, Mythril and her chosen companion…Arthur the variant Gallade!”
The polished gates at the far left side of the battle field rose with the sound of heavy gears turning, allowing two figures to step forward and into the ring. Almost immediately the colossal screen to the left of the field projected the strong and determined features of a young woman with long silver hair and sharp green eyes. Her attire was simple, yet clean and telling. A long white leather jacket lay across her shoulders, matching a metal grey tube top and long white and grey pants with new shoes of a matching color. Briefly however, the screens zoomed in on six spherical shapes of varying color that ringed her slim waist like a belt, evidence that she had brought her whole team with her.
Her chosen companion wore a similar attire, his hair was also a shimmery silver that matched his eyes. Faint green runes decorated the inside of the heavy leather cloak he wore about himself, concealing all but the armored shoes that poked out from beneath.
The two were still for a time, absorbing the eager cheering of the crowd from all around them. Eventually, even the determined look on Mythril’s features faded as a warm smile crossed her features. This was just another step in a long journey she had taken with that small Ralts. It had been a long journey, and now here she was…on the fourth step to the champion herself. Her dream was within reach.
Letting out a breath she didn’t know she was holding, Mythril closed her eyes to soak in the moment and still her racing heart. At that moment Arthur took a step from her side and reached up, his smooth fingers taking the corner of his long white leather cloak and flinging it into the air behind him! The movement revealed the shimmering silver and white breastplate that adorned him, as well as soft green rune decorated swordsman silk attire.
The gutsy challenging move drew another roar of the crowd, yet the action was no act of fan service as the lights at the other end of the colosseum had begun to go out at a steady rate. “Opposing Mythril today is the last of the well-known elites of the region…Having managed to wrestle victory from the grip of the guardian of light…today, Mythril and Arthur must face off against the guardian of shadows…Lowen Nocturnus Moon!!”
Suddenly all lights in the colosseum began to rapidly dim, causing some in the crowd to cry out while others quieted. Gradually a hush fell over the crowd as the darkness set in…and with it, anticipation.
Once again Mythril felt her heartbeat beginning to race as she looked about the shadows. Suddenly the ominous grinding of gears signaled the raising of her opponents gate, causing her sharp eyes to dart over to the source of the sound.
Knowing what lay on the other side of the gate caused Arthur to take another step forwards in a protective manner. Shifting to a martial arts stance he raised both hands in an aggressive manner while a growl fell from his parted lips and gritted teeth. This was followed by a threatening hissing sound that emanated from his arms as they shifted into slender blades! The now razor sharp edges of his forearms glimmering threateningly in the dying light around him. “Easy Arthur…” Mythril’s voice breathed out behind him as she reached down to her hip and pulled free a long silver mechanical wand. As she turned it on a bracelet on her arm began to glow and runes on both devices gave a faint light in the now total darkness around them.
Then there was the soft whisper of cloth from behind followed by the sensation of warm breath on the back of her exposed ears…The feeling chilling despite the real physical warmth. “Boo.” A voice hissed out from behind her in playful tones, earning a surprised cry from the woman as she gave a single hop out of instinct!
Almost as soon as the sound left her lips Arthur had sprung into action. His bladed arms slicing the very air as he swung at the being that had snuck up behind his master! The edges of his bladed arms clashed against the attackers own weapon of choice, and the sudden flash of dim purple flames illuminated the now four figures on the battlefield.
Silver edged blades drew sparks from the braced obsidian staff held by the cloaked form of the Mismagus. Narrowed Silvers glared into glowing amethyst as the two Pokémon glared daggers at one another. Then there was a sudden rush of air as the two pushed away from each other and returned to their trainer’s sides, with mythril pointing her glowing wand at the Mismagus.
As the Mismagus stood back up it grinned, revealing sharp teeth as it reached up to adjust the black wizards hat atop its unruly dark hair. A dark ebony cloak lay over its shoulders, draping over its leather and cloth covered form like a pair of huge black wings. Eagerly it rubbed a thumb over the amethyst jewel that adorned its staff, its pair of deep purple eyes looking hungrily down at the young woman and her Gallade.
“Now now, Mordred…Manners.” The formerly quiet guardian spoke out, lowering a hand that was stroking his chin in a thoughtful manner. The Mismagus and Lowen looked almost like twins, were it not for the differing attire, demeanor and eye color. Lowen looked as if he was on his way to some higher end event, With a top of the line black suit and matching shoes adorning his slim and gentlemanly figure. “I do apologize, Miss Mythril…but I’ll have to ask you to call me either Nocturnus or Dr.Moon…See, one of these days I think I really will have to kill that announcer…I have told him time and time again to call me either of those…Though perhaps Dr.Moon sounds a trifle stuffy don’t you think?”
Suddenly the announcer’s voice cut through the dimly lit air again, while mutters of impatience spread through the crowd as more candles were lit, filling the colosseum with the dark, gothic illuminations. “Should the guardian win today, Mythil’s fate will be sealed till the next election season…But should she succeed here today, then the final barrier between her and the throne shall fade as surely as the night come dawn!! Let the battle commence!!”
The sound of intense music blasted out from speakers all around the stadium, hyping up the crowd again and bringing a smirk to Nocturnus’s features. “Well then, Let’s begin this dance, shall we?” he inquired as he snapped his fingers.
Mordred suddenly lunged forwards, his staff held tightly in his hands as it emitted a baleful glow. From behind him a shadow ball suddenly flew straight at Mythril as soon as it materialized, brought into being by the magic of the shadow guardian.
Mythril’s eyes had never left the guardians figure since she had been startled. Biding her time and sharpening her focus she had been waiting all this time for him to make this move. Lifting her right hand and moving her wand hand to her side protectively she let out a shout! Immediately an aura sphere launched out from her palm and slammed into the dark energy of the shadow ball, resulting in a red and black explosion that awed the crowd.
A glance down to her companion was all she could afford before she broke out into a sprint. He was holding his own just fine. It was now up to her to make sure she lasted this battle and took every opening given .
She knew this fight was going to be a long one.​
Rules and what to expect:
Well now, where to begin…Well, if you clicked on this story you possibly thought something similar to: “Oooo!! Pokémon!! Maybe I can rp a scene where Ash is not a completely oblivious blunderbot and Misty doesn’t have anger issues that require violence!” Or insert character here XXX with some other character…
If that’s what you are looking for, I’m afraid that I will be unable to satisfy your cravings. However…
IF you happen to be looking for a story with a home brew realm with adventure, mature themes, growth and progression look no further. There are Pokémon elements in this, as the teaser above will attest to, but this is no leisurely stroll through Kanto.
Pokémon in this are…well… “Gijinka” variants of themselves…A rough explanation of that is simply: “the creating human-like characters based on non-human subjects” The non-human subjects in this place being…Pokémon.

So in a nutshell you will be capturing, training and battling with monster boys and girls at your side.
There is far more to this than what can simply be placed here without it looking more intimidating to read than it already is…So, I shall do my best to sum it up nicely.

- Society is generally peaceful and in a Pokémon esque setting. Tamed monster folk do serve important aspects in society, as they can adapt quickly to human lifestyle once their more savage ways are curbed.

- Gym badges are actually a show of employment. The more badges one has in this world, the more they will earn weekly or per-mission.

- Players need to have a character sheet. It will not be super extensive, effectively I’ll just need basic info and for you to keep track of your equipment. # Of potions, poke balls…money to buy the aforementioned…etc.

- There will be a rolling system and some RNG here... If you go out into the woods, im going to roll to see what pops out. ((Clearly it’s going to be a forest dwelling Pokémon…you’re not going to run through tall grass and step on a Gyarados tail…)) Additionally ultraballs have a better chance of catching something than good ol' red and white...So there will be a rough 1d20 roll to catch something, with Ultra balls giving a +5 to that or something similar...There is more to this than I can post here and not terrify people.

- PLAYERS FIGHT ALONGSIDE POKEMON NOW so yeah, Im not narrating a fight between your 650 lb. Rhyperior and some poor grunts Ratatta while you laugh maniacally in the background. You will be able to use Pokémon skills thanks to the creation of a new technology by sylph co. What skills you can use however, are only the ones your Pokémon know….and that will be something else to add to that character sheet, as there is no need for a Pokémon to forget anything…I’m not limited by data here, just my abusive muse.
Yes, there will be character sheets.
Yes, it will be over voice chat on discord.
Yes, there will be numbers and a homebrew system involved. (Its similar to pokemon games and DND)
Yes, there will be mature content...but this is not a lemon.
Now…I think that covers everything…maybe. But if the above interests you, please feel free to send me a PM!! Im looking to get a small group of 3 rpers (Myself included) for this adventure…so if you’re up for a group rp poke me! But if you’re interested in a 1v1 of this, poke me as well…I’d love to talk about it.

Also...this should go without saying but no characters below the age of 18... unless they are side characters or something. There wont be any sex, but there is quite a bit of violence.
