[Silver The Boss]

Hello. Welcome to The Blessing.

Here, you will find out that the story will be heavily based off the creatures that dwell in the Pokemon world.
They will no longer be viewed as pets or partners, but as warriors. To defend the world that is rightfully theirs from the humans who threaten their position.

We thank you for stopping by and taking the time to view our world, but we sincerely hope you will decide to join us in the fight for what is good. What is right. What is deserved.

Kanto Region, the Indigo Plateau.
Team Rocket has founded its new base there.

A few months ago, the leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni, became aware of his own age. Team Rocket had been underground for many years, laying low and playing it safe. Getting on in years, Giovanni decided to seek out with his only descendant; Silver. Locating him was a difficult task, spanning several months, but finally contact was made. Giovanni had a plan for Team Rocket's revival. A new mind at the helm would be a good change but outside, they still needed his image for as long as they could. Silver agreed to taking control of Team Rocket behind the scenes while his father continued to act as leader, a figurehead. The belief that Team Rocket could stand for something, anything, was Silver's driving force and he compiled a trust worthy team to have his back while he pretended to be a simple high ranked Rocket.

Nearly a year passed as control was secretly handed to Silver, no one on the surface aware of the change, and a devastating attack was initiated. The first place to fall was the Indigo Plateau and they adopted the building as their new home base. Thousands of Rockets, Trainers and Pokemon fought against each other but eventually the entire region of Kanto fell under their rule. Their conquest didn't stop there, swiftly taking over Johto and making its way to Hoenn.

Team Rocket's disturbance could not be ignored. Arceus itself flew into a rage and called forth all of the Legendary Pokemon. It described to them the atrocities of man, the Rockets in particular, and how they were destroying the balance of the world. It was decided that the Pokemon needed a way to fight back; as they were now, even their natural abilities weren't strong enough for the en masse attacks. Each Legendary Pokemon decided to pass on some of their powers to the Pokemon, as a blessing, and provide them with powers able to attack, defend and infiltrate. A blessing that would give the Pokemon the power of Legends and the ability to fool every human into believing they were one and the same.

The Legendary War for the very Earth began.

[Silver The Boss]

Stage 1 - Pokemon: This will be your average Pokemon. It does normal things like eat, breath, sleep, and and produce waste. At this stage the Pokemon will begin it's adventure to become a warrior for a very worthy cause! Their reasoning? All up to you to create!

Stage 2 - Chosen: The Pokemon has been Chosen to become a warrior for the Legends. The Pokemon is Blessed by one of the Sub-Legends and will be able to borrow their power in battle. What power you ask? It all depends! Just have to wait and see.

Stage 3 - Blessed: The day the Pokemon has finally awaited is finally here. With a burst of what seems to be the evolutionary light the Pokemon grows and takes form of a human. Gasp! Why such a drastic change? In order to infultrate the Rocket's facilities. Much easier if seen as a human than a Pokemon. In this stage Missions become more complicated. The Blessed will pair up and complete these missions in order to take back what is rightfully theirs.

Stage 4 - Legendary Warrior: One of the higher ups have deemed the Pokemon worthy enough to achieve the greatest title. Legendary Warrior! Their responsibilities also change. They will become captain of squads and be required to take control of any situation that may go out of wack. Another plus is the bad a** armor. Oh yeaaaah.

If you do not already know, The Blessing is a RP required shop. What does that mean, exactly? If you, as the player, do not participate in any sort of role play activity for a set amount of time there will be consequences. Either your character will be re-homed to another more worthy player or simply killed off by a dramatically fitting story Snoof or I create. Now, for those who are willing to take the responsibility, please make sure to read the information provided below. The requirements for each stage's 'upgrade' will be listed.

Stage 1 >> Stage 2

Set up journal
4 journal entries
1 RP with another Pokemon
1 RP with a Sub-Legendary

Stage 2 >> Stage 3

8 journal entries
5 RPs with another Pokemon
1 Mission
Based on the individual

Stage 3 >> Stage 4

16+ journal entries
1 RP with a Main Legendary.
Based on the individual

'Based on the individual', you ask?
By now we should be able to spot who is the strongest, and over all, ready to take on the tasks that come by becoming a Legendary Warrior.

Stage 4 >> GJKHFGJKDF

Flatsale [ pending ]

As any RP required shop every event that is providing a character WILL have a prompt for you to answer. It is your job to wow us.

Auction [ pending ]

Not many of these will occur. Who knows! When placing your first bid you must provide a sample of RPing talent. The source of this sample could be from anything as long as it is yours.

Customs [ pending ]

Again, focusing on the RP talent of the individual. Thought there is a twist. You must have a quest thread set up in the guild with information on the character desired. There will be a set time for everyone to send in their quest links until the custom slot closes. From there judging begins to see which character would be most interesting to have around.

[Silver The Boss]

Q: What about the battle system, yo? (Made this one up.)
A: Still being thought of. Who knows what the end will result will be. But we promise you one thing.
IT
WILL
BE
DELICIOUS.

Q: Could I bribe you with loads of gold?
A: It'd have to be a whole load. Daayuuum.

Q: What about the Eevees, man!?
A: Due to the Eevee's unstable DNA it will evolve upon Blessing.

Q: So that means there will be new Eevee evolutions?
A: Exactly.

Q: Will the Pokemon evolve? ;O(Besides Eevee)
A: Nope~ If a Jigglypuff swears her/himself at that stage, it will remain so through out it's growth.
Meaning there could be a Jigglypuff LW as well as a Wigglytuff.

Q: Can you only have one character/adoptable here? Or you pay for multiple or win multiple through roleplay prowess or whatever?
A: You will be allowed to play more than one Pokemon. Only if you are responsible enough to treat them the same. Journal entries, missions, average RPs with others.

Q: what about shinies/doubles?
A: Shiny just falls into an alternate coloration, which will be present quite often; the first person to own a type of Pokemon will get its original coloration, second person will get it's Shiny variant, and third and so on will get other colors decided by the artist. Please do not dwell on this. It is so trivial. Your character could be an magikarp but have blue hair. Nothing has to be exact.

Q: What if you're the first to get a certain species.. but want an alt coloring/shiny instead of a normal colored?
A: "The first person to own a type of Pokemon will get its original coloration". Again, do not kill yourself over wanting a shiny or alt coloring! D;

Q: In third stage do they have to represent the Pokemon look wise? Cause I want my Jigglypuff to pink hair, big chibi eyes, a marker just like the in anime blahblahblah
A: The Blessed stage is mostly used to sneak about during missions. So I'm sure outfits with ears and tails would simply prevent anything successful. The hair color could be all up to the artist/you! Just because they are a particular Pokemon does not mean it will be a full on representation. Have fun with it!

Q: So how does this sound for a history? My character's parents were will off by the rockets! OHOHOHOHOHOH.
A: Apparently every Pokemon's parents were killed off too. Dayum. ( CREATIVITY PLZ. )

Q: So can the characters learn TMs/HMs/Egg/Tutor moves right away? Cause I want Hyperbeaaaam. HELL YEAH MUTHAUCKA DAYUM.
A: Well, yes. But TMs/HMs will have to be either bought or earned from a mission. Only makes sense yeah? As for Egg/Tutor moves there will be a Guru NPC that for a right price will teach you these moves. Anything learned normally through level up will be allowed to be used right away.

Q: OMG BUT MAGIKARP ONLY KNOWS SPLASH TACKLE AND FLAIL! How is that fair?
A: LOL. ( We can discuss this with the owner if it ever occurs. )

Q: Does Stage 3 have weapons to use?
A: Yeah sure. As long as it isn't something amazingly pretty and huge. That sorta weaponry will be used by the LW.

Q: LW? ;___;
A: Legendary Warrior.

Q: Can my pokemon character be previously owned before all of this mess happened? For a interesting history and all...
A: Mmmmhmm
