Our tale takes us to the region of Tohoku, a region that has
close links to that of Kanto. It is a relatively peaceful region, filled with Pokémon
from all regions and for that, has become rather popular for young trainers to visit. It is said by many that Tohoku was the first of the regions to inhabit Pokémon and is a place where legendary Pokémon can often be seen, as if they are protecting it. But for what possible reason?

A group have emerged in Tohoku rather recently, calling themselves "Team Utopia" and have been causing problems all over the region and have slowly been growing in numbers, going from a mild annoyance to a dangerous threat to the region both Pokémon and humans alike. In response to this growing threat, a group has formed known as "The Guardians", a small group of elite Pokémon Masters whose job is to watch over and protect the region. However, they are but a few compared to the growing numbers of Team Utopia and they alone cannot protect the region from the threat Team Utopia have become.

Despite claiming to be building a better world for all, Team Utopia have attacked several times, raiding them and often taking hostages of a young age for unknown reasons. Things went from bad to worse as Team Utopia had managed to launched an attack on "Archangel City", one of the central cities of the whole region and left it devastated, capturing almost everyone's Pokémon and striking fear into the hearts of the whole region. Just what do Team Utopia want and why?

10 Years Later

A small boy named Hope was found by Team Utopia's leader "Illusive" and has spent the past nine years or so being taught, along with several other young children, about Team Utopia and what they strive for, practically being brainwashed into believing what they believe, despite all the unanswered questions you still have after all these years about them. On your tenth birthday, Illusive decides to give Hope his first Pokémon and decides he are ready for his first mission. However on this mission he begin to realise the reality of Team Utopia is a lot different from what he has been taught and it seems now more than ever that he wants those questions of his answered, one way or the other.


NOTE: Please, if you have some plot ideas, let me know! I have a vague idea where I want this to go, but not entirley.

Who to play as....

Illusive - The main leader of Team Utopia, his methods are unknown to many of the grunts who work for him, knowing simply that he will lead them to a better, richer world and it seems that is, for most of his grunts, all he needs to tell them in order to keep them happy. Those higher up know that Illusive's great scheme is in the belief that we can only have a better world once the concept of free will no longer exists in both Pokémon and humans alike. With free will comes crime, hate, anger, pain and sin. He believes by using the legondary power of Pokémon that helped make the world is is today, he can change the world for his own vision.

Utopia Lieutenants - Illusive's right hand men. They will likely be loyal to him, though some may have their own agendas. There should be no more than three of these.

Lucifer Strife - The leader of the Pokémon Guardians, as well as the founder. He felt the pain of Team Utopia personally when his city, Archangel, was hit by Team Utopia and amongst the chaos and destruction, he lost his little boy. His wife, Maria, was so distraught by it all, that she locked herself away with her training as a Gym Leader and their relationship has strained because of it. He vows to take Team Utopia down and stop the madness they have decided to unleash on the region. NOTE: Chris is the son of both Lucifer and Maria, both both believe their son to be dead.

Other Guardians - If you wish to make up your own Pokémon Guardian, please feel free, they will likley work with Lucifer.


Maria Strife - The Gym Leader of Archangel City, her talents lie with Fighting Pokémon. She has always been headstrong and a deterimed woman, but while she seems so on the outside, after the horrible incident ten years ago, she has become fragile behind her tough impresination she now portrays.

Mewtwo - He will play a major role in this and at the start, he will have been under the capture of Team Utopia, being experimented on and kept prisoner. Please realise this is set long after Ash, ect. He is a good Pokémon and one of the main protectors of the region.

Other Legendaries - Other Legendary Pokémon will come into this, so don't think you are simply resitracted to just Mewtwo. They will likley join forces later to stop Utopia.


Chris Strife (Hope) - Renamed ironically Hope by Illusive when he brought him into the fold as pratically a baby and has recently been given his first assignment. He is quieter than most of his grunts, especially the ones his own age. More of a thinker than most in Utopia, Hope silently examines all Utopia stand for and looks past Illusive's words and tries to find the truth behind them; perhaps a life with Utopia is not the life for him?

Other Utopia Grunts - Whether young, old, loyal, lone wolf, ect. There are many options to play as, maybe a friend of Hope's? Who knows!

Other Ideas? - Please DO NOT feel restricted by these characters, have any idea? Make up your own character, god knows there are SO many things to choose from. Here are some other ideas: Spies, Play as a Pokémon, Gym Leaders, Other Trainers, Freedom Fighters (Another group against Utopia?), ect.

Everyone needs Guidelines....

~ Please, decent posts. Two paragraphs if you can (aka six + lines). I would really like some detail.

~ We need to get the main characters I listed taken, so if you want your own character as well, you must pick someone from the main list first. Everyone should play two characters at least.

~ When it comes to Pokémon battles, some are pre-detemined beforehand simply to move the plot along, if not, then you must keep the battle realistic and try and decide a fair outcome.

~ No controlling other's characters! Make sure to stick to your own!

~ Try not to do anything too plot changing, aka, reveal a secret brother of Hope's. If you wanna add something to the plot, feel free to PM me!
