Thread: The World as it Is (Pokemon RP; NSFW)

The sun was bright and hot in the sky over the Kanto Region which had not changed much in the years since Team Plasma's plot to recreate pokemon into equals had begun and ultimately failed. Being so far out of Team Plasma's reach at the time, Kanto had been relatively unaffected by the events of the transformations. Sure, the resident syndicate, Team Rocket, now sought to capture and control these powerful new pokemon and Professor Oak had taken a huge interest in the events that could only be summarized as the greatest scientific breakthrough in the history of pokemon, but there were so few of these rare creatures in the region that either hardly mattered. Though their sightings in Kanto were rare, it was not completely unheard of for one of these rare creatures to be seen there. In fact, Professor Oak had managed to get his hands on a small number from the professors in the other regions where they were more common, that he had been handing to new trainers in hopes of seeing how these new pokemon functioned as companions. It was cruel, yes, to expect a creature just as equally sentient as mankind itself to fight and obey as a regular pokemon was expected to, but Professor Oak was a scientist and there were certain aspects of these new beings that had to be discovered and made known. While some people criticized the professor for these actions, most could at least credit his caution. Only strong-willed trainers were issued these new creatures and even then, they were issued only those that seemed to take orders well. Perhaps that is why Ilana, a fresh-faced trainer just leaving her home town of Pallet to start her own pokemon journey, believed the rumors that she had heard about one of these rare creatures hanging around on Route One connecting Pallet to the neighboring Viridian City. If she could get her hands on a second one of these creatures before she got there then she would be able to secure her fist gym badge in Viridian City for sure! Fortunately for Ilana, the rumors of this rare creature were as true as the sun in the sky. Even more fortunate for Ilana, her quarry wasn't too far ahead of her now, resting on a rock not too far off of the footpath that winded its way through the route connecting her home town to the city. Unfortunately for Ilana, however, she wasn't looking for your average, every-day rattata or pidgey that were all-too common in the area. Just ahead of Ilana, and just out of sight from the path, the large six-foot tall frame of a humanoid-shaped arcanine was laying down with it's eyes set on the sky as it soaked up the warmth of the sun. Unlike many wild pokemorphs, this one had managed to get its hands on some articles of clothing that fit its form probably stolen from one of the hikers that frequented the area. Blue denim pants with a multi-pocketed satchel hid its unmentionable areas from sight while a matching denim jacket hung from his arms and torso. The jacket wasn't fastened up most likely so that the beast did not overheat in the mid-day sun. If only Professor Oak had known what was out here, he would have been out looking for this rare creature himself. Not only was he a pokemorph, but he was an arcanine to boot. Growlithe were fairly commonplace and were used by most of the police forces in the pokemon world but for some reason arcanine were exceedingly rare. For Team Plasma to have released such a rare breed of pokemon after making it even more unique truly spoke for their intentions in this whole ordeal. Team Plasma didn't matter now, however, and hadn't mattered for a long time. This particular Arcanine, whom did not choose a name for himself beyond that, had all but left mankind as a whole behind when he was released. He hadn't had a bad life with humans before he was awakened as a pokemorph, but he hadn't had a particularly good one. Before Team Plasma stole him and made him into this near-man pokemon, he had belonged to a young rich girl with no interest in battling or contests. He had been little more than a pet as a growlithe and a showpiece to be bragged about once he had evolved. He was loved, pampered, and kept inside of the house at nearly all times. Since being freed, he had seen and done more in these few short years than he had in all of the rest of his life put together. It had been glorious and he had no plans of returning to such a life. If he had known that Ilana was closing in on him, he would have gotten up and ran off into the nearby forest where he would have easily evaded the young trainer. The sun had made him groggy, however, and he wasn't listening for approaching footsteps as he usually did.
