[PMD Inspired] PokeWorld Island Mystery - Sign Ups Open!

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Welcome to a new RP inspired by Pokemon Mystery Dungeon!

In this RP you have been turned into a Pokemon and must uncover the mystery of a strange new world. Glitch Pokemon have begun to unravel the very fabric of this new world, and the Guildmasters have sent for promising individuals who may be able to help. Start your own rescue team, recruit new friends to progress in your adventure, complete puzzles, uncover secrets and save the Pokemon World... and yourself!

The Plot

You're a college student on a field trip to a new city by the sea... During some free time, a mysterious new student leads you to small island connected to the mainland only by an old pier. The island is full of old theme park equipment. In another life, it was a thriving tourist destination, but now sits abandoned and rusted by the sea. The remains of a ferris wheel stretch up into the sky, but you must keep your eyes on the ground to avoid the piles of rubble and scrap-metal. The structures above and around you creak ominously in the sea-breeze.

As you reach the center of the island, the new student stops and turns to look at the group she has amassed.

Without a word, she crouches down on the ground and begins to dig in the soft sandy earth. From the ground she pulls a strange silver sphere. It isn't until she stands up that you realise she isn't holding it, but that it's floating before her...

You want to turn to the other students in astonishment but your gaze is too firmly captured by the orb floating before you.

"I'm so sorry," says the new student. "But we really need your help." Your eyes begin to lose focus. What did she look like again?

...Everything goes white...

When you awaken you are no longer yourself. In time you will be asked to assist the inhabitants of this world which is under threat from some mysterious force. By creating your own rescue team you will complete missions to save the Pokemon of this world, and maybe even save yourself.

Gameplay

This RP will be led by a story mod who will push the story along and keep things on track. They will ultimately decide whether your actions are successful, throw new challenges your way and make sure no one is overpowered.

In this RP, you will play as a human who has been turned into a Pokemon. You will have the chance to form a rescue team and recruit other Pokemon to join. You will be assisted by a Partner Pokemon who is your second in command. As you recruit new Pokemon, you will have full control over each of these new characters. You will need the combined strength and abilities of these friends to complete puzzles, defeat enemies, and help to save the Pokemon World.

Each rescue team will be in possession of a Team Badge which allows you to recruit Pokemon. You may have a maximum of 4 Pokemon on a mission at a time including you and your Partner. If you recruit an additional Pokemon you will need to send that Pokemon back to the guild area using your badge. You can only switch out Pokemon from your party when at a guild location.

Your chance of recruiting a Pokemon will be based on RNG, however, there may be items or puzzles which can improve your chances.
