She couldn't help smirking at the mention of Celadon, barely managing to stifle a chuckle. Elle had to wonder if she'd seen Cole on the streets before. She almost drifted away, lost in thought, then after a moment realized all eyes had turned to her.
"Oh, we're up?" She shared a look with the amber-hued lizard curled up at her feet, giggled, before continuing. "I'd say pretty much the same as them," she said, nodding toward Cole. "No major problems, aside from a little clash with a flock of birds. Oh, and by the way, that's when she changed form," she finished with a grin, giving Raze a scratching on the head. The draconic beast purred at her touch, letting loose a proud spark of flame from her jaws.
"Anyway...name's Elle, and you can call our scaly friend here Raze."
As a brief silence fell, it started to seem obvious she'd finished her introduction.

Blood, Tears, Dust - Lacuna Coil

(I love this album)

For some reason, Suicune. It's the only legendary from the first three gens that I've never actually owned. Oh, wait, there's also that elusive event-only son of a female houndoom...JIRACHI.

Breaking Benjamin

I swear, they aren't the only band I listen to.

Wouldn't blame you if they were \m/

Take Me Home - Lacuna Coil

Grabbed a Wingull in Sapphire, years ago. First and only shiny this one has captured. 

[Character:]

Pow! That took long enough.


Character:

Name: Elle Vargas

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Appearance: 5'5, lean build. Often assumed to be harmless because of this, but can beat someone within an inch of their life if threatened. Incredibly pale,  has naturally straight waist-length scarlet hair and bright blue eyes. Wears tight, faded jeans with several cuts in the right thigh, dark gray T-shirt and sneakers, and dons a black hooded sweatshirt in cold weather or "night ops". She keeps a five-inch knife strapped to her leg under her pants, a lockpicking set in one of her shoes,  and a broken mega ring on a  silver chain around her neck.

Personality: Resourceful and quick-witted. She's sometimes mistaken to be cold and distant, but this has always been when she was occupied with studying and tracking a target. When not on the job, Elle is wily and amiable, at least on the outside. Beneath the surface, though, her mind just never stops analyzing people, trying to discern how best to take their belongings or win them over as an ally. Her outwardly easygoing nature has made her quite a few friends and contacts in the dark underbelly of Celadon and its neighboring Saffron. In social situations, she is constantly joking with, and teasing, people. She operates well under pressure, moving quickly if put in a tight spot but still keeping her head and putting it to work finding a way to get out unscathed... and making sure any adversaries don't leave that way.

History: Elle grew up in the streets of Celadon's bad side, fleeing from a group home when she was small. She made her way as a pickpocket forn the first few years, then graduated to b&e. At the age of six, she discovered the abandoned basement of the game Corner while looking for a place to stay. After a short time wandering around, she came across a tiny yellow lizard locked in a cage, left behind after the Rockets cleared out. The oddly colored charmander became her constant companion, helping in her less-than-legal activities and occasionally taking a few battles for food-and-clothes money. Hers and her Pokemon's life were affected little when Galactic took over; the pair simply retreated underground for a while. As far as anyone can tell, she only joined in the rebellion for the fun of taking down a major crime organization.


Pokemon:


Nickname: Raze
Species: (Sh) Charmeleon
Gender: Female
Starting level: 34
Current moveset: Flame burst, Ancientpower, dragon pulse, shadow claw (TM received as payment for winnig dissident battle tournament)
Other Details: Raze is absolutely ruthless in battle. Any opportunity to KO her opponent, no matter how cruel or unfair, is taken without hesitation - all the better to leave a foe incapacitated and unable to harm her companion. Outside of combat, she shares her trainer's wily nature, and loves to send small bursts of fire at people or Pokemon. She evolved just recently, after wiping out a flock of wild spearow during the pair's move to the Digglett tunnel.

Starter Post: The frigid night wind put a chill through the pair crouched at the edge of the woods. The figure on the right raised its hood, wisps of crimson hair flying around the edges of the cloth. The other simply raised its internal temperature, smoke rising from its nostrils as a flare at the end of the being's electric-yellow tail glowed for a moment before returning to a small jet of flame.
"I hate when you do that, you know... You'll give away our position."
The human reached out and grabbed the horn protruding from her companion's head and gave it a playful shake. A hissing rumble sounded from the creature's throat, and its tail thumped against the girl's back. She chuckled. "Whatever, Raze. Just wait a little longer. Five minutes, and I'll have you full of the best stuff this puny town has to offer."
Elle turned back to take in the city, almost sneering. Vermillion was tiny compared to what she'd seen all her life; the fishing town's tallest building was a lone hotel, and that was barely three floors. It didn't matter, anyway. They'd only be here for half an hour tops, then off to the meeting place. She was still a bit suspicious of that brunette's plan. How did she know the rest weren't Galactic's informants, sent to sniff her out? Who was to say they weren't just waiting for the right time, whenever that was? Then again, in the two years since she made payroll off of those stolen silph scopes, the organization hadn't been able to find her
The sound of Raze's impatient growl brought Elle out of her paranoid trance. What was wrong with her? If they hadn't tracked the stolen goods back to her by now, odds were they never would. Her eyes flicked over the city's dim lights once more, then she leaned in close to her partner. The near-invisible steam emanating from the lizard's flesh was blissfully warm; she was almost tempted to just snuggle the pokemon like she did when she was little. But there was work to be done.
"Alright," she whispered. "Here's your part..."

Some twenty minutes later, Vermilion City's police force was pacing around and inside a local couple's home, questioning the frightened pair and inspecting a large hole in one wall. What the thieves had taken, for this was clearly a robbery, wasn't nearly as troubling as the nature of the hole. Rather than having been broken, the glass was melted at the edges of the jagged opening. Whatever the cause, it had to be hot enough to vaporize glass and controlled enough to leave the house standing. The crime would go unsolved, but the residents and local law enforcement involved would puzzle about the incident for weeks to come.

Changed slightly, nothing major. Ready to roll, boss!

Yeah, now I remember th likely reason the last thread died - lack of availability. I'll try logging in & checking more often. Just need to find a few minutes to rewrite my starter post on desktop. 

Always go with fire. \m/

Starting over would be fine with me, preferably with the same character. She was too fun a concept to waste.

so we're dissecting a fish in biology tomorrow

I tore a pig fetus apart in high school biology. You should be able to handle a fish 

I've that sneaking suspicion that the Legendary in Moon is going to be Dark/Flying, and the mascot for Sun is going to be a new Light type to counter Dark (because GF has put that off for almost two decades).

Blegh, forgot about this. Any chance of reviving the thread? :p

Hey Cpt, did my PM go through? Wrote something up, but I think my device may have closed the window before I sent it.

Jessica - Lopunny / Mega Lopunny...not going to explain it, let's just see who can figure it out first.
