[color=darkblue]By "test board/page thingie," I'm supposing you mean the Guru section at theOtaku.com. I think that Adam is focusing more on myOtaku.com at the moment, rather than bettering the current Otaku Shrines, but it may be possible that a YYH quiz might be added in the future. It's definately not set in stone, and I doubt anyone's given it a thought, but there's always a chance.[/color]

[color=darkblue]Wow, Solo. This was a very good chapter. The little plot twist at the end was a nice touch. Bravo. ^^ Can't wait for the next one.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Solo Tremaine [/i] [B][COLOR=#503F86] ?What the Boom Boom Da-Donka Da Donk happened here?? Charles exclaimed.[/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=darkblue]That was my favorite part by far, lol. That was a very good chapter, Solo. I like the way you described everything, though if you could have squeezed some more in, it might have been better. Just my personal opinion on that account. ^^; OtakuBot was pretty funny in his own right. Poor little guy. So unappreciated, lol. Though somehow, I sense a fight to the death between him and Shy on the horizon... Like I said before, great stuff. Can't wait for the next one. ^^[/color]

[color=darkblue]You're right, ZA. That is off-topic. If I were you, I'd try to keep questions like that restricted to PMs and such. Try to remember that in the future.[/color]

[color=darkblue]Actually, Misty got another bike, though whether it was from Ash or not is beyond me.[/color]

[color=darkblue]If he were to do that, Ash could cause Giovanni a lot of problems and be in a prime position to oust him as President. It just isn't logical from a business perspective. I seriously doubt that Samuel or Giovanni is Ash's father. I do believe they showed a silouette of him one time during his brief episode mention, and it looked like your basic PokéJoe from around the way with a haircut similar to Ash's. To be honest, it's just somethign that's never supposed to be figured out. Basically, Ash's father was only mentioned becasue he was one of the main reasons Ash wanted to become a Pokémon Master. That's about it. Though it is nice to wonder, it really serves no purpose. ^^; As for the timeloop thing, there might be something behind that, and also, there might not be. True, some later series (if there are any after Advanced) may have a trainer who remembers Ash as a Champion, but I doubt if they'd have any children of the original characters running around (unless some girl finally takes pity on Brock, lol).[/color]

[color=darkblue]Then you can go ahead and ask a question, ZA. The floor is yours.[/color]

[color=darkblue][b]Code Name:[/b] Raven [b]Real Name:[/b] ??? [b]Age:[/b] 15 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Powers/Skills:[/b] Psy powers/Control over inanimate objects [b]Power/Skill Origin:[/b] Developed/alien [b]Alliance:[/b] Titan [b]Description:[/b] [url=http://wf.toonzone.net/WF/teentitans/episodes/nevermore/11.jpg]Raven[/url] [b]Biography:[/b] Raven was born on the planet of Azarath and began developing her powers at a very young age. Through her intense training, she has learned to conquer her emotions, only letting her current macabre appearance show. Though due partly to her want of being alone as much as possible, the fact that her emotions are directly tied to her powers is also a crucial factor. Raven often seeks the confines of her rooms to meditate and calm herselfm but she does genuinely care about the others in the midst of battle, using her powers to provide much needed backup for them. Some members of the Titans *cough*BeastBoy*cough* can go without her sarastic retorts, however.[/color]

[color=darkblue]As said in another thread, Misty leaves the group because her sisters decided to take their water show on a world tour, so Misty had to return to the Cerulean Gym to be Gym Leader. I have no idea why Brock left the group. It was more than likely to study something to help his breeding skills, or he may have returned to the Pewter City Gym. I missed the ep myself, so I'm not entirely certain.[/color]

[color=darkblue]Afraid not. There's only two choices left, so someone else can give it a try.[/color]

[color=darkblue]Too true. ^^; Q: Out of Typhlosion, Blastoise, or Blaziken, who has the highest max Attack and Speed combined?[/color]

[color=darkblue]Heh. It's been a while since I've seen you around here. I have to say, however, if a topic's over a month old, where this one is six, we'd rather it not be brought back, to be honest. Plus, there's only so far a nickname thread can go without being spam, which this thread has pretty much become. Therefore, it shalt be closed.[/color]

[color=darkblue]Whoo! You posted it. ^^ *hugs* Like I told you on AIM, I think it's great so far (though you didn't have that part after Syk3 and Mei added yet). It's like something that could actually happen, provided the level of supernatural occurences rises dramatically here soon. Oo; I like the ideas you have with future installments (especially the one with Jeran ^_~), and I can't wait for the next one. ^^[/color]

[color=darkblue]It's been so long since I've seen that ep since I missed it in the more recent showing... I believe it was because Treecko was ugly/mean, and Mudkip had used it's Water Gun on her (though it was her fault). I'm not sure if I'm exactly correct, however...[/color]

[color=darkblue]Thinking in terms of the game, I believe Pikachu would be somewhere above Level 41 and below 50, since Pikachu learns Thunder at Level 41, but it doesn't know Light Screen, which it learns at Level 50. (In G&S, anyway.) It's just an assumption, however.[/color]

[color=darkblue]The RPG thread is up now. I'll leave the sign-ups open for anyone who wants to come in. Just make sure you PM me to let me know. Have fun, everyone. ^^[/color]

[color=darkblue][i]Artemis stared out the window of her luxorious Olivine City office to watch the sunset over the bay. She gently stroked Saea, her beloved Meowth and was pleased to hear it purr contently at her touch. She smiled slightly.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] Simpler things in life such as a sunset can have such a soothing effect, isn't that right, Saea? [i]Her Scratch Cat Pokémon nuzzled deeply into her hand, and meowed loudly in agreement.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] Yes. But a much more complex pleasure is the only one that can truly soothe a troubled soul like mine... [i]Just then, Artemis' phone rang and brought her out of her one-sided conversation. She quickly turned in her plush chair and tapped the speakerphone button.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] This had best be important. [b]???:[/b] It is, Miss Artemis. [i]She recognized the voice as one of the scientists from the Undeground Lab outside Ecruteak. They were the ones Artemis currently had performing computer-generated experiments with various Pokémon.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] Well, would you rather keep me in suspense, or tell me what you've called for? [b]Scientist:[/b] R-Right. Forgive me. I'd called because we've made an important discovery in our experiments. [i]Artemis sighed annoyedly. How could she have hired someone incompetent enough not to be able to handle a simple report over the phone in a timely manner? She was very careful to keep her voice as even as possible when next she spoke.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] That being? [b]Scientist:[/b] It seems as if recessive traits from certain prehistoric Pokémon have become dominant in some of the Flying and Water subjects currently at our disposal at the Ciannwood Lab. [b]Artemis:[/b] How so? [b]Scientist:[/b] Well, Miss Artemis, it would be easier to show you rather than to tell you over the phone, seeing as it-- [b]Artemis:[/b] Fine. I'm on my way. I want a full hard copy report waiting for me upon my arrival, got it? [b]Scientist:[/b] Yes, Miss Artemis. [i]Artemis turned off her speakerphone and sighed once again.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] That way, I won't have to speak with you directly again. Idiot. [i]She picked up the receiver and punched in four numbers in quick succession. The other end only rang once before being answered.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] Seshi, bring the car around. I need to take a trip to the Ecruteak Lab. [b]Seshi:[/b] At once. [i]Artemis hung up and rose, walking around her desk toward the door.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] Come, Saea. Perhaps this time, our findings will prove useful in the long run. [i]Saea gracefully lept from her seat on Artemis' desk and eagerly followed her master. As they both walked down the hall, Artemis turned to her thoughts.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] [i]Father...The time is drawing closer for us to wage our epic fight against one another using the fruits of our labors...And I will emerge the victor. You can be sure of that.[/i][/color]

[color=darkblue]As a Giovanni has been found, I'll finally post my own sign-up, lol. [b]Name:[/b] Artemis [b]Age:[/b] 23 [b]Affiliation:[/b] TR2 [b]Pokémon:[/b] [b]Saea[/b] [Meowth]- Pay Day, Slash, Fury Swipes, Attract (Pet) [b]Windscythe[/b] [Pidgeot]- Fly, Mirror Move, Whirlwind, Steel Wing [b]Pyra[/b] [Typhlosion]- Flamethrower, Earthquake, Thunder Punch, Swift [b]Brutus[/b] [Blastoise]- Ice Beam, Surf, Whirlpool, Strength [b]Appearance:[/b] Artemis is 5'10", and cuts a slim figure. She has brown hair with red highlights that's pulled back, and dark brown eyes. She's almost always seen wearing a form-fitting black business suit and high heeled shoes. She always manages to look her best somehow. [b]Bio:[/b] Artemis led a lonely childhood. Since Giovanni never had time to spend with her, he sent her away to a boarding school in the Hoenn Region. After she graduated at a young age, she went on to a secondary school, where again, she graduated early. She went on to college and majored in Pokémon physiology, and minored in differential behavior habits of wild and tamed Pokémon. The only reason she excelled was because she needed somewhere to focus all the anger and sadness that she had built up because her father practically abandoned her, providing only financial assistance, and a rare birthday card. Eventually, Artemis met once again with her father after her completion of college. During her short encounter, she learned of her father's plan to create a Super Pokémon from the DNA of the ancient Pokémon, Mew. This immediately set Artemis' mind working. Since a bank account had been opened in her name for her tuitions, and she didn't need them due to all the scholarships she received, when she came of legal age, she withdrew a hearty amount and hired a team of scientists to help her create a new Pokémon more powerful than her father's could ever be. She saw this as a manner of revenge, in that it would anger Giovanni to no end that someone got to something he wanted before he did. Soon, however, Artemis found that in order to perform proper research and make a prime Pokémon, she would have to find more reserves than her already large base, so she founded TR2. That was about a year ago. With the help of her agents, she is quickly gathering the Pokémon and the information she needs to make her father pay for what he put her through as a child through the one thing that'll really make it count... [b]Teammate:[/b] None[/color]

[color=darkblue]Might as well throw my two cents in the bin. lol I'm from Dayton, Ohio, also known as Gem City. (Though why is beyond me. --; ) We're rather historical, as mine is the city where the Wright Bros. were born (though this is currently under debate by local historians). We're currently having a city-wide thing known as "The Celebration of Flight" to commemorate their first flight. (And getting in shouting matches with North Carolina because of it. >_

[color=darkblue]Swordmaster, Lrb is correct. No one that's part of Team Rocket or TR2 should have Pokémon [i]that[/i] strong, nor are Legendaries (in this case, Lugia) allowed in member rosters. I also agree that you should clean up your post a bit if you want to be allowed in. Lrb, I will allow the use of made-up Pokémon. I will also allow the use of made-up moves. However, if you do this, [u]you are required to post all stats of said Pokémon and moves.[/u] [b]Move Ex. Belle Eyes Type: Normal Power: --- Accuracy: 50% Effect: Only usable by female Pokémon, and will only work on opposite gender. If it connects, the Defending Pokémon becomes infatuated, and is unable to attack for 2 turns. [/b] [b]Pokémon Ex. Stameon Type: Grass Height: 3'4" Weight: 84 lbs. Evolution: Branch (Evolves from Eevee with Leaf Stone) Info: The petals and leaves around this Pokémon's neck are often double-edged, making it's Razor Leaf attack very devastating. Starter Moves: Razor Leaf, Vine Whip, Sleep Powder Future Moves: Stun Spore, Synthesis, Sunny Day, Solarbeam[/b] All other sign-ups are currently okay. It's pretty one-sided, though. (Show Team Rocket some love!) I'm still waiting for Arika's bio. I'm sure it'll be good, though.[/color]

[color=darkblue]In the US version of the series, that's about the only mention Ash's father has gotten so far. As was said, he was a Pokémon Trainer that had left in order to become a Master, but apparently, he failed, and never returned to face the shame he thought would be waiting on him upon arrival. That's what I'm gathering, anyway. I've never been fortunate enough to read the original manga, just the new one.[/color]

[color=darkblue]I will say this one time. If Desbreko or myself see any spam whatsoever, this will be shut down [i]immediately.[/i] Let's not have a repeat of similar threads that have come before this, okay? You've been warned.[/color]

[color=darkblue][i]Everyone in the Johto and Kanto regions know of the nefarious Team Rocket. That evil crime syndicate that no one, save a few, knows is led by the Viridian City Gym Leader Giovanni. They have been responsible for many of the major crime waves in the last few years involving Pokémon, their major source of profit. Using their scientific means and cunning, they kidnap Pokémon and use cruelly use them in experiments to create the most powerful Pokémon in the world. Though one experiment has already backfired, that has not daunted them in the least. They still continue their quest to make the most powerful Pokémon ever known to Man. But now, there's a new player in the game. Enter TR2, the new group on the block. Run by Artemis, the daughter no one knew Giovanni had, it is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with. Raiding the Safari Zone and stealing several endangered Pokémon. Breaking into the Pewter City Science Museum and stealing prime samples of prehistoric Pokémon. Taking rare artifacts from the Ruins of Alph outside Violet City in Johto. These are just a few of the crimes they've committed recently. And Giovanni's not standing for it. He knows that his long forgotten daughter is out to beat him at his own game, and he's taking sharp aim to put a stop to it. But Artemis, just like her father, isn't about to stand by and let her plans go sailing out the nearest window. She's determined to get what she wants, no matter what it takes. Now the two have locked in a battle of wits to see who can reach the goal first. And with these two, this will be a fight that no one will ever be able to forget...[/i] ---------------------- You can sign up as a member of Team Rocket or TR2. Double agents, deserters, scientists, all that type of stuff is allowed. All I want to see is decent post quality. Not too much to ask, eh? I'm reserving the part of Artemis for myself, but Giovanni is out there for anyone to grab, and I must say, it is a pretty powerful role, since you can somewhat drive the story for certain players. All other players can sign up as a single member or work in teams. All Pokémon (save Legendaries and Tyrannitar) are allowed. You can even bring Jessie, James, Meowth, Butch, Cassidy and Domino into the fray, if you wish. Signing up as a Pokémon is allowed as well. (Hey, they're part of the team too, right?) Yes, you are allowed to speak Human if you do so. I will say this. You will really be playing two people if you do sign up as a Pokémon, since your Trainer may play a somewhat major role in the game. Here's the sign-up sheet: [b]Name*:[/b] [b]Age:[/b] (Please keep this at or above 16) [b]Affiliation:[/b] [b]Pokémon*:[/b] [b]Appearance:[/b] [b]Bio:[/b] [b]Teammate (if applicable):[/b] [b]*Note #1:[/b] If signing up as a Pokémon, please place species in brackets. Ex. Embrina [Flareon] [b]*Note #2:[/b] If signing up as a Pokémon, skip this part, obviously. If everything goes as planned, this will start Wendsday. If anyone has any questions, PM me. Have fun! ^^[/color]

[color=darkblue]Heh. Welcome to OB, hon. We all agree, Pokémon is cool in one degree or another, but we try to put a little more thought into our posts, and I don't think yours qualifies. Try to inprove in the future, 'kay?[/color]

[color=darkblue]Name: Kei Misato Age: 20 Gender: Female Height: 5'10" Weight: 120 Appearance: Kei has dark brown hair the length of her back held back by a white headband, and silvery-blue eyes. She often wears a white duster over a black short T and black capris, and wears dark brown ladies boots. Biography: Kei had led a very cold life. Her father was a Zoid system researcher, and therefore, had little time to spend with his daughter. She often was in the lab and learned much about Zoid systems, how they work, and how to fix them. She was always lonely, however, as she was an only child, and her mother was stricken down with a terrible disease when she was very young. Instead, a loyal servant named Largo pretty much raised Kei and was her main influence for her deciding to follow her dreams to become a Zoid pilot, so that she could work with her father. Kei met up with Alec while she was searching for parts for her Raynos. After a long chat, and a good meal, she was brought on as the mechanic for the Strike Fighter Team. Personality: Kei has a happy-go-lucky sort of persona. She's often the main one cracking jokes and joshing people left and right, despite her lonely upbringing. She really doesn't care for people who are wound up for no reason, but deals with them none-the-less. Though she often does end up in arguements resulting from what she says. -------------------------------------------- Team Sign Up Team: Strike Fighter Team Members: Alec Terse, Siaga Tatakai, Tierenan Cloud, Kei Misato Rank within Team: Member (Mechanic) Team Zoids: Leomaster, Ice Blazer, Konig Wolf, Raynos Team Transport: Red and Silver Dragoon Nest Z.P.R.S Numbers: 2568731SF [Alec Terse] 2568732SF [Tierenan Cloud] 2568733SF [Siaga T.] 2568734SF [Kei Misato] --------------------------------------------- Zoid Sign Up Name: Windrazor Type: Raynos Zoid Appearance: [url=http://www.metalmachinemusic.com/zoids.php?section=raynos]Raynos[/url] Support Systems: Limited energy shield, two mini-booster units (both wings), night vision scope Weapons: Two 40mm Cannons (Tail mounted), Three 30mm Cannons (Forward Facing), alloy wing claws and talons Custom Modifications: AF-04 Dual Light Vulcan Gun MP-01 Air-to-Surface Missile Pack one on each wing, third on belly AF-08 Energy Wing Cutters CP-18 Quatro Impact Cannon [/color]
