Legendary Claims

Good question.
If one of your legendary Pokemon perish then it is in the dirt and dead. No other member can play that Pokemon and once the Pokemon dies it's name will be crossed out. Since no other member can play that Pokemon it is still your dead character. So no, two choices and that's it, if you truly want to keep your legendary then I recommend keeping it alive.

Now if one wants their character to do something and the legendary leaves never to be seen again by that trainer, then that legendary will be back on the market and the user can choose another legendary.

But dead legendaries are still your legendaries. You may not claim another if one unfortunately meets it's end.

Roleplay Example :
It was the average warm summer's afternoon for Route One. The sun climbed steadily higher in the sky as Pokémon slowly got ready for the night ahead, Grass types making the most of the last hours of sunlight. The glowing orange sun cast a deep glow on the land, pleasently warm as a cool breeze helped anyone or anything who felt too hot to cool down. A rare blissful day, truly. The weather had been wonderful all day, and it seemed the warm, dry lazy weather would continue into the night and the following day.

However, not all was right. A large pool, the main drinking source of the Pokémon, lay abandoned by the parched creatures. The sun glinted dully off the still water as a little blue form skipped up to it, followed by an orange creature who dared not get too close and a girl holding a silver fox. the Riolu at the water's edge looked back at the Espeon 'morph girl, Sulteron. ~Sulteron, look! Isn't it such a shame? This must have been the Pokémon's primary drinking pool, and look at it now!~[/color] she exclaimed, waving a paw at the brown-black water covered in patches of all, dead bugs and surrounded by a choking mist.

Sulteron frowned. "Rila, I think you may have discovered something here. This would explain why all the Pokémon looked so thirsty, and this doesn't look like natural causes did this. I think... this might be the work of Team Darkness." she announced. Kai, the shiny Eevee in her arms, gasped. Hinote bravely stuck a paw in, then howled. ~Jeez! That burns!~[/color] he complained, waving his paw in the air to cool it off.

Rila's eyes widened. ~B-but... you're a Fire type!~[/color] she exclaimed, dipping her own paw in before displaying similar reactions. ~That's acid!~[/color] she moaned, wiping her paw on the grass.

As this happened, a single drop of water fell from the sky, landing into the pool. It fizzed and sizzled, evaporating instantly into steam. Soon it was joined by another, and another, until a misty haze swallowed the area as a storm began so suddenly. Sulteron looked around, the gasped. This pool and the surrounding area was soaking her, but all outside, it remained beautiful weather in the sinking sun. She knew something was going on here, and stepped carefully around the pool, walking into the trees begind where the storm was worst. All four of them then gasped in total shock.

A Suicune, weak and helpless but to cause storms as he lay fainted, slung over a man's back as though a doll. He was tied up with metal chains, fur in a right state. Sulteron checked Suicune on her Pokédex, but the image was a different colour. "A shiny..." she murmered in disbelief.

Without thinking about what she was doing, Sulteron tackled an unsuspecting grunt to the floor, Suicune, still chained, falling from the man's shoulders. The Espeon 'morph snarled at the others, feeling herself shift to her Pokémon form as her mint green fur bristled angrily. She pounced at another grunt while Hinote used Ember on the chains, Rila and Kai hitting them as hard as they could while they were weakened. It was working.

With a metallic twang, the chains snapped altogether, freeing Suicune. Sulteron gasped in relief, returning to her human self as she lifted the knocked out Suicune with Kai, Rila and Hinote's help, fleeing before the remaining grunts could fight back. Once they had made good distance, Sulteron examined the shiny legendary's wounds, Suicune coming to as she did so. The wolf rested a paw on her arm. She looked at him.

~Whoever you are, trainer, I owe you a dept. I am young, and was learning to purify water when those men beat me and chained me up. So long as I have free will, you may catch me in a Pokéball.~[/color] Suicune promised. Sulteron gasped, then took out a Pokéball. "Of course! I could catch you right now, then take you to a Pokémon Center, but what about the pool?" she asked.

Suicune sighed, shaking his mane. ~It's a trap. They just put a layer of sheeting over the top. Polluting something to that stage would take weeks.~[/color] he grimaced, resentful that he could have falled for it. Sulteron nodded, and the Pokéball in her hands drew Suicune inside it, pinging as the wolf became a member of her team.

Username: rolly
Character: Kira
Pokemon: Mewtwo

Roleplay Sample/Capture:

She was panicking again. No, not just panicking as screaming her head off and babbling incoherent speech. She was screaming her head off, babbling incoherent speech, AND running like a chicken with her head cut off. Morbid, he knew, but that was the only way he could describe his trainer's actions at the moment. She'd been doing this for the past 3 minutes now, and she had only woken up from her unconscious state 5 minutes ago. He wondered if she would trip at any given moment or run into the damp, cold, moss covered, cave wall.

Currently, they were in a cave, where said cave was...they didn't know. They, or rather, his trainer had been thrown over board during a cruise in a storm, and now, they were yet again, in another region they had no knowledge about. Axel continued to watch unamused at his trainer's antics, Asero sitting beside him apparently quite amused. Pyrus along with Rio was trying feebly to calm her down. Being the older of the group, he was quite used to these antics by now, and thus really wasn't all that surprised.

A sigh was heard, just behind Axel. Apparently their host, or actually, their savior was growing tired of the panicking human. 'Is your trainer always this...' He trailed off not really knowing the word to use to describe the human's actions. 'Weird?' Axel supplied to the psychic he was speaking to telepathically. 'I suppose.' He replied. 'Are you not going to calm her?' He questioned. 'Nah' Axel replied. 'She'll calm down in a few more minutes.' He smirked slightly as he continued to watch the screaming girl. The psychic sighed again and continued to watch with them.

After a while, Axel finally grew tired of his trainer's screaming and went to calm her down. Finally calm Kira sat in the circle of her Pokemon and the Psychic who had saved them. She was staring at the psychic intensely, a bit apprehensive to even twitch in his presence. 'Don't mind her, she freaked out like this before with a Gardevoir. She's just probably freaking out because your a Pokemon she's never seen before. Either that or your the vibes your giving off is scaring her.' Axel explained as he laid his head on his trainer's lap. He sat beside her, curling his long tails around her from behind. Pyrus was on their trainer's other side, keeping a close eye on the Psychic as well. Rio and Asero had been returned back into their Pokeballs.

"It's not my fault I freak out..." Kira mumbled, she understood very little Pokemon speech, though she did somehow have a small telepathic connection with her Pokemon. She'd guessed it was probably because of her empathetic nature. She had such a strong connection with her Pokemon, she was able to hear their thoughts, but she was till very new to it, and could only communicate with them on a close range basis. "W-who are you anyways?" Kira questioned, addressing the Psychic for the first time. For a while now, the Pokemon has been sending vibes of irritation and dislike towards her which caused her to be quite cautious around him.

'I am Mewtwo. A creation of man, cloned from Mew, and known as most powerful Pokemon in the world.' He replied. His deep, godly like voice echoed through the large cave that they resided in. It also made Kira flinch slightly. "Most powerful? That can be debatable...can't it?" She questioned, just out of curiosity. 'Perhaps.' Was his only reply.

3 weeks, perhaps a month had passed since then. They'd taken refuge in Mewtwo's cave, waiting for the injuries that their trainer had sustained during the storm to heal. Now they stood at the entrance of the cave just a about to leave when Kira looked back and slightly frowned. "Won't you come with us?" Kira questioned for the umpteenth time, during their stay, she'd been trying to convince the Psychic to join them, having felt, apparently his lonely nature. As always, and what he would forever reply to that question was 'No.' Sadly, well only on Kira's part, they departed, leaving the Psychic. It wasn't until 2 months later that they met him again, only this time he was the one that needed rescuing.

He had been hunted down by a Team, similar to that of Team Galactic, to be captured, used and abused to become some world dominating weapon. Luckily, though they did have to battle, Kira and her team were able to save Mewtwo and runaway, going into hiding until things cooled down. Currently now, they were yet in another cave, hiding from the enemy that was still up and about searching for them. When things had cooled down and Mewtwo was healed, Kira asked once more. "Won't you come join us?" When Mewtwo replied like he always did, Kira made a selfish argument, that all her Pokemon seemed to agree to. "We saved your life, you owe us!" She declared. "Also, you can't keep running away forever! You keep hiding all the time. They're going to catch you again and perhaps next time no one will be there to save you or help you, you might not even be able to fight them on you own!" She added. They had all grown quite fond of the Psychic Pokemon and it just didn't settle with them that he should be alone, only to be captured again.

This time, Mewtwo was actually considering it. Perhaps being bound to someone was easier, but that meant that he would be putting them in danger. "So?" Kira had said defiantly at his point. "As friends we're supposed to take those risks! You don't have to be bound to me, I just don't want seeing you fighting alone again. Aren't you lonely?" Despite their arguments, he still refused, so Kira and her team devised a plan. If Mewtwo wasn't going to go with them, they were going to go with him. They followed him everywhere, whether he flew at top speed or teleported to some unknown area, they would find him. It didn't surprise them that when he finally cracked he had scolded them and even tried scaring them off once or twice with his attacks. "We're not leaving." Kira said firmly standing her ground along with her team.

Finally having enough with their persistence, Mewtwo simply agreed to travel with them, though he had many opportunities to simply runaway and leave them, somehow something always kept pulling him back. He guessed that he must of picked up the worrisome nature of Axel and Pyrus for their trainer, that he felt compelled to actually protect, or rather, just help her. That girl seemed to get in the most unusual and life-threatening situations in the world. With her the way she was, how could he possibly leave them now?

[[Sorry for the length, I pretty much summarized like 3 chapters of a fanfic I was writing xD. Kinda lame and a bit hurried. Sorry if it doesn't make too much sense o.o]]

Username : Wolven
Character : Marley Benson
Pokemon : Shiny Mew
Roleplay Example:

The current situation could be described as tense but it all depended on the way you looked at it. There was a tension in the air. It was like being in one of those horror movies but you know its really happening and that anything could really happen and that it probably will happen, especially if you were a girl named Marley.

The girl in question pulled her growlithe closer to her side via the collar around his furry neck. Neither made a sound as they waited around the corner of the shabby building. Both growlithe and trainer were listening hard. Marley held her breath as she strained her ears in anticipation of some strange sound but all she could hear was the frantic pounding of her heart.

The young officer let out her breath in a relieved whoosh.

"Its okay, I don't think anyone's inside."

At this opinion, Bruiser shook himself from his stiff stance and trotted a few feet away from Marley. He sniffed around the entrance of a well-worn door. Marley followed, a bit more cautiously and placed a slender hand around the loose handle.

"Stay close, Bruiser. We just need to get the stolen goods. Don't go wandering off."

With this said, she twisted the handle and the door swung forward slowly with an ominous groan. It was pretty dark inside but Marley thought she could handle it without calling out her pikachu. Oh, how wrong she was.

A few steps inside and the floor was creaking. A few steps more and the pair felt a shudder beneath them. A dull ripping sound signaled the collapse of the floor and both human and pokemon fell into dark depths.

Marley was momentarily blind until realizing that her eyes had been closed for more than a few minutes. She groaned, peeked one eye open and nearly let out a scream but thankfully it caught in her throat. Something small and blue was floating inches from her face. She stared at it, mouth agape, trying to register what this thing was and if it meant her any harm. The creature floated backwards, did a flip in mid-air and let out a questioning,

"Mew?"

It was an-honest-to-goodness mew. The reason she hadn't recognized it right away was because it was freaking blue. Of course, she had not been expecting to see a mew, ever. Now there was a blue one, hovering about her head like some weird dream.

Marley couldn't help but let out a somewhat strangled laugh. This mew was as blue as blueberry jam. It seemed somewhat ridiculous in a way but it was best to probably leave it here. She picked herself painfully up off the floor and collected her growlithe who was just staring at the aquamarine creature.

"Come on, Bruiser, we'd better get going."

The two set off through the rubble, Marley rubbing her head a bit. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a flash of blue and whirled around to see the mew right behind her. It giggled a bit and did a loop around her head. Marley tried to shoe it away but it seemed to think that was funny and chased after her hand.

"Right, well, we are leaving so don't try to follow us again."

Marley marched right up a set of stairs and through the door from which they had come. She had had enough of this place anyways. Obviously the building had been abandoned for some time and it would be too dangerous when it was this dark. They would come back in the morning.

She took a breath of fresh night air and nearly choked on it to find that the mew had followed them out of the building. Really, it seemed oblivious to anything that she had said.

"Well, I suppose you could come with us..." Marley muttered tiredly.

The mew just floated around her head serenely.

Username : Birdybot
Character : Nox Umbra
Pokemon : Alvah Darkrai
Roleplay Example :
A cool hand stretched across the cool air of the night, guiding the Pokémon with the blackened heart across the streets of the suburbs, a curtain of darkness trailing it wherever it went. Nose twitching as it scented the air, the purely evil Pokémon sought out those who were troubled. It smirked menacingly. The troubled ones always were more frightened than any of the others. This Pokémon sensed a child. Oh, children were great at being scared. This one seemed stressed. Deeply stressed. The two hands came together in a creepy clap, rubbing as a fly does before tucking into someone else's dinner.

This was Darkrai, who caused and fed off nightmares. This perticular Darkrai was a mistake, hidden from the world for about a week until he escaped. He cackled as his already shady form grew hazy, before fading into the shadows altogether. A frail old lady who had spotted him through her window squinted, certain she had seen something. She wiped her glasses clean. Nope, nothing. It must have been her poor eyesight... she made a note to see an optition.

Meanwhile, Darkrai was ready to cause this stressful young boy some nightmares. He swiftly cut through the shadows, leaving nothing more than a chilly breeze as proof he was ever there. Within seconds, he was inside a run down shack. There was a boy sleeping, beads of sweat on his forehead. He was tossing and turning. He couldn't be older than thirteen, and Darkrai could sense his fear at something. Darkrai's hands rose, a glimmering almost black purple-silver energy pulsing from them, easily finding the boy's mind and beginning to make him sink into a deep, nightmarish sleep.

This boy was Nox. His fear and stress was of being appointed the knew leader of Team Darkness. This was a tough, hardened, and very, very dangerous child indeed. After all, he was a werewolf, vampire and Team Darkness leader-to-be with no heart and the only purpose of his creation to be a weapon. As soon as he felt the nightmare touch him, he sensed that this was the work of a Pokémon. Although asleep, his muscles tensed. His mind began to call him... Nox, the moon is calling... wake up, Nox... wake up or die...

Nox woke up despite Darkrai's efforts. His werewolf genes were a little strong. He did not let the legendary see that he was awake, of course. He wanted to shock Darkrai, attack and then capture him. So the thirteen year old kid still tossed and turned, thrashing about his tail as though he really were in a nightmare. He felt Darkrai's icey hand on his head. ~Yes... yes... fear... death... lovely...~[/color] he heard him sigh. Nox felt that perhaps Darkrai would be useful if he lived of fear and bad thoughts.

As he felt Darkrai completely fooled, Nox clutched a Pokéball; Tayeko's. At the same instant, he threw it and leapt to the floor, changing into his Pokémon form.

Darkrai gasped, stunned. Then Nox snarled, wings snapping out to intimidate the Alvah. Tayeko padded slowly closer. Nox glanced over to his closely bonded Absol. ~Psycho Cut. I'll pin him to the wall once you've got him.~ he growled softly. Tayeko roared, tensing her back leg muscles and exploding full force from the floor, claw, sealed with purple light, poudning into Darkrai's chest. Nox used his wings to help him shoot forwards while Darkrai was doubled over in pain, pinning him to the wall by standing on his hind legs. Tayeko growled warningly over his shoulder, ready to attack again if Darkrai struggled to escape.

Nox looked at Darkrai. ~Join me.~ he snarled, baring his fangs. Tayeko nodded behind him. Darkrai laughed half-heartedly. ~No way. I'm my own Pokémon, and don't go joining any old weirdo, just because they pinned me to a wall.~[/color] he answered.

Nox pushed his claws in a little harder. ~I'm becoming the leader of Team Darkness.~ he declared. Tayeko nodded. ~And he was created to be a weapon, but is good to his teammates, and he's part werewolf and vampire-~[/color] he started to boast, red eyes narrowing.

Darkrai cut him off short. ~You make a tempting offer... and I can see you skill, for you managed to turn things around here. Very well, so long as you really are the leader of Team Darkness as you say, I shall join you. Let Team Darkness be all the more feared!~[/color] he grinned, cackling before diving into one of Nox's empty Pokéballs. It barely shook before pinging and falling still.
