This website is now officially closed. All topics must be finished, and all character must register on the New Website All ranking exams will be finished and ranked by a seperate proctor, and all money will be reset to $200 for everyone in order to make way for the new currency system, coming soon.

We've been getting a good amount of questions regarding the move and the time skip that the move will created for all characters. So here are a few general questions, along with their answers, and of course feel free to post any more concerns you have here.

Q: What abilities or weapons will we be able to add or expand on?
A: Not a whole lot, honestly. I'd say a few improvements on what you already have, but not by a lot, as well as maybe one or two new techniques. Let's not do a major overhaul, because that would then disrupt your rank, which will not change in the move. As for weapons, …

I finally arrive home after catching Raikou and walk through the house. I pass the courtyard doors and see that the door to the oasis is slightly open so I take a moment to resolve that. After that little task is done, I continue through the halls and stop at a large door which I promptly open. Beyond them is the backyard. Well, to be more accurate, the area is more like a ranch where my pokemon and animal assistants have free reign. In a nearby doom palm, the birds of paradise chirp in welcome. I wave to them and walk towards the group of pokemon playing in the sand. The Pichu, who appears to be the boss, notices me and runs over to hop on my shoulder happily.

"Hey there Teal~! How ya been?"

She grins and gives me a thumbs-up before her gaze wanders to the agitated Raikou. It looks up at her and the two stare each other down for a few minutes. The other pokemon stay at a distance, obviously afraid of the stronger creature. Eventually, a smile breaks out on Teal's face and she hops onto the surprised legendary. She snuggles against his mane, sending sparks of electricity every direction. The others take this as a good sign and run over to welcome it. I laugh as the little ones play around Raikou's feet and release Blu and Narius. The Altaria flies into a doom palm while Narius weakly waddles over to a red bird of paradise and asks it to heal him.

"Alright now y'all! This is our newest team member, Raikou. He's gonna be the boss when I'm gone so treat him with respect. That's bout it so y'all can go back to doing whateva."

The pokemon and animals make various sounds of agreement as I walk past rows of different fruit. Due to the intense heat underground, it should be impossible for them to grow, but when the house was built, the chakra surrounding it began to absorb the heat as an alternative means of energy. Toss a little bit of dirt down, sprinkling water occasionally, and a farm was possible. I pull a cowboy hat from my bag as I reach the boundaries of my property. Teal climbs under the hat and sits up, making the hat sit on her...or rather swallow her. I watch as random pokemon appear and disappear in the distance with a content look on my face. Of course, the peace couldn't last with the company I choose. Timor suddenly materializes behind me, making a ghostly sound. I turn around slightly as the frightened Pichu on my head falls off. She hops up, shaking her tiny fists at the laughing Misdreavus. I roll my eyes at the two, picking Teal up and stopping her from shocking him before sitting down on the fence surrounding the yard. Timor floats around my head as three of us watch the colors of the sky change over the horizon.
