    [SU/DS] World Enigma - The Labyrinth Wish

    World Enigma - The Labyrinth Wish

    A HIDDEN WORLD COLLAPSES

    It all started in Hoenn, Route 100.

    The Trick House, owned and run by the anonymous and enigmatic "Trick Master," was thought to be a local tourist attraction in Hoenn to test the wit and resourcefulness of trainers and travelers alike. Home to many puzzles, mazes, and other fun house-like setups, many people thought it was simply for casual entertainment. And there were many that visited what seemed like an innocent fun house and left without suspecting a thing.

    But there were several, including yourself, that entered with the belief that it was nothing more than a game. However, unlike many of the others, you took a different turn, found a passage into a whole new underground level, and discovered a whole different wonderland-like world where reality was dismantled, logic was thrown into bedlam, and everything you once knew about how things work was wrong. However, by the time you realized there was something incredibly disturbing about this place, you discovered escape was impossible. The way you came in took you somewhere completely different, and you joined the many that were lost within the realms of the Trick House's Underground mazes and wonderland chaos.

    Despite the warnings of not to drink or eat anything or risk transformation, you had to suffer through it, as well as having no idea where one door would take you next. For many days, you suffered being transformed into many different things and being whisked away to places that constantly tricked and disoriented you. Meanwhile, the questions lingered on. Who really is the Trick Master and why was he doing this? How could any of this be possible?

    Through collective efforts, one group of trainers had vowed to find a way to stop this, or else they knew they could very well spend the rest of eternity in this bizarre place. They found a way to cheat the Trick House Underground, marking the walls and the floors with warnings, notes about what each element did, and where doors would take people. Eventually, the Trick Master discovered this and caused the first dreamworld to collapse only to be replaced by a dark, more nefarious one.

    After causing massive, catastrophic damage to the darker dream realm, one of the trainers involved in this mission was contacted by Jirachi, who revealed that the Trick Master's power and ability to even do all this in the first place was granted by her wishes. While trying to guide the trainers in secret and help them cause further damage to the dream realm, the Trick Master attempted to create whatever he could to prevent his Trick House realm from falling apart.

    But while the rebellious trainers were successful in causing the dream world to collapse by causing massive damage, they could not stop the Trick Master from using the third and final wish that Jirachi was forced to give him. And that wish granted him the power to take what he was able to do here...

    ...and unleash it upon the entire world above.

    DARKER SECRETS UNLEASHED

    The Trick Master has decided to use the real world as a catalyst for his wonderland creations and new reality. Unlike before, the efforts that caused the first two renditions of the dream world to collapse cannot be done again, as it would be the end of everything. Before, almost no one knew about what was really happening in the Trick House.

    Now everyone is suffering through the same mayhem, thrown into a puzzling labyrinth world where not even Arceus and his fellow legendary Pokémon can keep it under control. In the meantime, it seems the Trick Master has eagerly accepted his power as the new god, and has created his own legendary minions and emissaries to take the place of the real legendary Pokémon. There is no choice now. They all have to be defeated entirely, and both the Trick Master and his dark powers have to be completely destroyed.

    But unlike everyone else suffering through the pandemonium, the long-term exposure to the Trick Master's realms built your resistances and something awakened in you when you the previous dream worlds collapsed. You were exposed to the inner secrets and workings of how this power works, and as a result, you have begun to learn how to understand and control it to your desires, an advantage that no one else has. The new warped reality no longer affects you as negatively as it does to everyone else, and because of that, the rest of the world now needs your help and has begun to look toward you for a solution.

    The Trick Master now seeks to enshroud the entire world under his wonderland powers. Already, all of the regions of the world have rapidly fallen under his spell and very few places remain unaffected, but even those safe zones are quickly disappearing. In the meantime, he seeks to eliminate Arceus and the other legendaries all to replace them with himself and his own creations. And lastly, he seeks to eliminate you and the rest of the captives that suffered through the first dream realms.

    Many question if the real world will ever fully recover from this incident and if things will ever go back to normal if the Trick Master is defeated. We have no choice but to find out the truth eventually.

    KNOWN DISCOVERIES

    Most people and Pokémon have only just recently been exposed to the chaos. However, you and your Pokémon are already painfully familiar with the following:

    TRANSFORMATION - As before, getting transformed is a very common occurrence. Eating or drinking anything that the Trick Master's powers have tampered with will transform both humans and Pokémon into just about anything.

    Your Power - You and your Pokémon have some control and power over this effect and can slightly govern how it will affect you. In the beginning, you can at least stop it from transforming you into something terrible or something you had been before that was bearable to you. As you "train" yourself in how it works, you can eventually use this effect to become certain Pokémon or creatures you want to become, and eventually became so adept that you can become whatever you want to at whim.

    REALITY DEFIANCE - As before, the Trick House realms were a nonsensical wonderland that had doors and holes pop out of nowhere, physical space and the passage of time had no bearing, and physics and basic chemistry had been completely overruled. Now, the real world is affected, and unlike before, destroying it all is just as bad as destroying it all when it was normal.

    Your Power - Now, you're able to foresee when these occurrences will happen, while everyone else will be shocked and surprised. It will feel a lot like having psychic powers and foresight. As your powers of control get stronger, you'll be able to govern how these wonderland elements behave, such as using a hole or door to decide where you want to go rather than where the wonderland world wants you to go. And in time, when you've mastered your abilities, you'll be able to create your own doors and holes and alternate reality elements to use to your advantage and against the Trick Master's forces.

    DEATH - Death behaves strangely now. As before in the Trick House realms, death caused the victim to respawn somewhere else as something else entirely. The safe effect happens now, but some wonder if this will be allowed to persist if the Trick Master is eliminated.

    Your Power - The Trick Master is seeking to eliminate you permanently, but right now, the only way to do that is to try and entrap you forever or send you many galaxies away. You are actually beyond death at this point and dying only helps you manipulate it further to your advantage. The result is the Trick Master is now seeking to bestow a fate even worse than death upon you.

    RULES

    • Follow the basic Pokémon Crossroads rules and the RP rules.
    • God-modding is very loose on this one. As long as it doesn't get too ridiculous, the more you let your imagination run wild, the better, and it's allowed to go pretty far on this one, just so as long as it's not detrimental to other RPers.
    • No direct bunnying, although you can slightly influence what happens to other people.
    • Keep it PG-13 and under. Some areas of the Trick House Underground can be dark and scary, but they're not excessively gory, vulgar, or perverted.
    • You're free to create whatever the Trick Master is using as minions and legendaries as well as the absurd way everything is being warped around. Even the most oddball of stuff is fine.
    • If you were in the Hoenn Enigma: Seeds of Secrets RP, you can use your previous character(s). don't worry too much about trying to catch them up with what happened since the last RP, just have them begin like everyone else.


    Also, include your character's name in the header, what they currently are, and their location. This also helps other RPers (however that happens) to find you and interact with your character.

    Name: Jonathan Bradshaw
    Age: 22
    Gender: Male

    Appearance: As a human, Jonathan stood roughly 6'2" and weighed about 180 pounds. He also had a lightly-tanned skin tone, long and spiky black hair, and brown eyes. Meanwhile, he had an slightly athletic frame thanks to lots of running and plenty of traveling as a Pokémon Trainer in Hoenn.

    He also had a black t-shirt with a tribal tattoo pattern of a Lugia on it as well as a pair of blue jeans, white sneakers, and a gray digital watch. Jonathan, thanks to his savings, had just about all the latest technology for tracking Pokémon and communications. He didn't have a PokéDex, however, as Professor Birch couldn't get him to be bothered to fill it up even if he was paid a million bucks to.

    Current State: Bellossom. Jonathan has found that he can somewhat control how the Trick Master's manipulated reality works, but at the moment, he can only govern the transformations towards things he has already been while in the Underground, Bellossom being one of them. While Jonathan has had to go through many forms, some of them being absolutely agonizing, he has decided to stick with the Bellossom one for now, given the fact it's a completely normal Pokémon, keeps him at least somewhat concealed from the Trick Master (who has a special vendetta against him considering he was very instrumental in causing the first two dreamworlds to collapse), and it's a form that he could actually survive in by not eating anything. Meanwhile, he has been able to drink water and keep the Bellossom form locked in. Lately, he has been quickly learning how to manipulate the Trick Master's creations, but he hasn't quite become an expert at it yet.

    While in his current Bellossom form, he befriended two other natural Bellossom, Jubilee and Lei, who both think Jonathan is a real Bellossom just like the two of them are. To conceal himself even further from any suspecting Trick Master scrutiny, Jonathan told them his name is Wishflower and they've been calling him that ever since. He treated the friendship loosely and casually at first, but it's turned into something deeper than he anticipated and he's not quite sure how much longer he can keep it up before he's compelled to reveal the truth to Jubilee and Lei.

    Personality: Jonathan is very much a sarcastic realist and is pretty cynical in ways that often causes others to laugh. He knows he has horrible, horrible luck, but there isn't a chance he isn't going to make some remarks about it while it tries to bring him down. He can tolerate people for a little while, but if they start doing stupid or insane things, he really loses patience with them. He isn't big on leadership also, as he finds a lot of people have trouble getting on the same page as him when it comes to ideas and how to approach things. Another thing he really dislikes is people who can't stop talking.

    His whole reason for entering the Trick House in the first place? It wasn't so much curiosity, but after losing two sour Pokémon battles on Route 110 (one of them being against a guy he had no clue was packing a Mega Charizard X with him), he got bored, felt he needed a break, and decided to check it out... never suspecting a thing. Besides, the prospect of free rewards was enticing, as Jonathan didn't have much money left after having to fork some of it over to those winning trainers.

    Now that he's been stuck in the Trick House Underground for weeks and weeks, he's pretty much freaked out that no one will ever notice he's gone, thinking he's just out adventuring in Hoenn and everything's fine and dandy. His goals have been changing around, often just wanting to escape while other times he is determined to find the Trick Master and put him in a coma.

    History: Jonathan was born in Rustboro City to a relatively apathetic mother and father that really had no qualms letting Jonathan do his own thing and then eventually go on a Pokémon journey when he was of the age to do it. Jonathan also managed to talk his father into spending all kinds of money to get him equipped with the latest gear.

    Jonathan often had to work harder than others to get the badges he needed. Some of his Pokémon were not very cooperative at the start, but because of that, he found trading with others from other regions to be a better prospect. He'd often catch Pokémon, try training them for a while, and if they gave him an attitude, didn't cooperate, or were just lazy, off they went! As a result, Jonathan ended up with a team of Pokémon across many regions, trading with Pokémon Trainers across the Global Trade Station.

    By doing this, he figured out what sources had what kinds of regional Pokémon, and after keeping a few electronic logs and building a website called PokemonTraderHub.com where others could share their information, he figured if battling ever completely dropped dead as a viable prospect and he had no chance of ever making it to the Pokémon League, he at least had a Plan B...

    ...but that was until he stumbled into the Trick House mess. Beyond just trying to "survive," Jonathan had been trying to crack the code and logic behind the Trick House Underground. Eventually he found the means to do it by writing on the walls and revealing the secrets to everyone else, with some help from a girl named Sonya. This had irked the Trick Master, but eventually, it paved the way for those trapped in the Underground to break apart the wonderland... only to drive the Trick Master into making a much bigger one.

    Pokémon: Leafeon, Quilava, Skarmory, Zweilous, Pachirisu, and Floatzel.

    Entrapment Length: About two months.

    Other: Jonathan was the first one to be contacted by Jirachi. The Trick Master as a special vendetta against him and Jonathan knows this, but he hasn't let it bother him one bit.

    Name: Elica Surge

    Age: 8

    Gender: Female

    Appearance: Elica stands at 4'5" and weighs around 66 pounds. She has medium long, light-brown hair usually in 1 or 2 buns. Her eyes are sky-blue and she has a very light skin tone. She usually wears her red skirt, green T-shirt with dark-green Pokeball on it and small, yellow backpack shaped like shiny Pikachu's head.

    Current State: Looks the same as when she entered the Trick House. Before that she was a deaf chameleon/fish in fountain room and a gray skyscraper.

    Personality: She is (or at least was) a very optimistic child, she never gives up and likes to help others. She doesn't like to be alone and usually tries to befriend everyone on her surroundings. She doesn't have much human friends tho, because she usually needs to travel to different military bases with her father and mother. Despite her positive nature, she's really scared of losing her parents that are sometimes arguing and yelling at each other.

    History: She's daughter of the famous Gym Leader Lt. Surge and a Pokefan Ruth he met at the Olivine City. About a year ago they settled in Mauville Military Base where she got her first Pokemon, Marill. When she was playing with her parents' Pokemon, she went too far north and found a Trick House. Because it was too hot outside, she entered the house and never left it.

    Pokémon (up to six): Female Marill named Hera, Female Dedenne named Céci and Male Raichu.
    Entrapment Length: About 4-6 months.

    Other: Previously seen as an NPC with white tattered dress barking zombies.

    Name: Nikolina 'Niko' Vale

    Age: 17

    Gender: female

    Appearance: Niko didn't care very much about appearances, leading to her constantly looking messy or rumpled. She had rather short light brown hair, usually somewhat frizzy, and bright blue eyes. Clothing she picked out was usually for comfort and practicality, rather than fashion or the like. Most of the time she's seen wearing a slightly worn white-blue t-shirt, and green cargo pants containing no less than four pockets, and some rather muddied sneakers. When it gets colder, she usually also puts on a charcoal and black colored hoodie, and a dark purple scarf.
    Niko is a casual contest-goer. When she does participate in a contest, she changes into what's more or less the only good clothing she has. That clothing is a white longsleeves shirt, and black dresspants.
    She keeps all of her things in a black backpack. The backpack looks old, and is close to bursting most of the time, but it hasn't yet, and is therefore sturdier than it looks.
    In terms of height and weight, Niko is about 5'4", and weighs somewhere around 116 pounds.

    Current State: Currently she is an Eevee. The two of her Pokemon that are 'eons are greatly amused by this.

    Personality: Niko can be a bit blunt and to the point when sharing her criticisms and observations. Most of the time she is rather honest, and has accidentally hurt people with her honesty before. She is, for the most part, outgoing and friendly. If you manage to upset her, she will hold a grudge against you, but her grudges rarely last for extended periods of time. While holding a grudge against you, she will probably ignore you unless it's a life-or-death situation.
    While friendly with most people, Niko considers there to be a difference between people she is friendly with, and people who are actually her friends. Niko will do favors without hesitation for a friend, but she's a bit more cautious about what she does for other people. She considers someone a friend if they've known each other and mutually been friendly for a few months or years.
    Niko's a bit dense about people flirting with her, and sometimes does not notice it. When she does notice it, she'll probably ignore it anyways as she is not particularly into romance, nor does she have any interest in dating or having a relationship with anyone,
    When it comes to Pokemon Niko uses, she more or less uses any Pokemon that strikes her fancy at the time of capture. She likes to have a good relationship with her Pokemon, and generally enjoys walking about with them outside their poke balls.

    History: Niko was born to parents who, because of their jobs, had to spend a lot of time outside of the house. Because of this, they gave Niko a Pokemon to watch over her while they were gone, and keep her out of trouble. That Pokemon was Marina, a swanna who would eventually become the first member of Niko's team.
    While Niko and Marina were alone at home, Niko usually ended up watching the television as it showed Pokemon Contests. She had shown some interest in battling at a young age, but contests captivated her. She found the idea of winning a battle with strategy, style, and flair to be a fascinating challenge at a young age.
    At about nine years old, she decided to begin preparing her future Pokemon team. She found a Wurmple, and captured it, trying to train it up to someday become a Beautifly. Instead it evolved in Cascoon, but kept it anyways as it had already grown rather attached to her, and she to it.
    Once she finally reached trainer age, Niko received a treecko as a starter, attracted to it for the Dragon typing it gained when its final evolution Mega evolved.
    Niko journeyed through Hoenn, trying to participate in the Contests, and managing to win a few of them, but never actually making a name for herself or becoming truly successful. After a little while she decided to take a minor break from contests, and simply go about Hoenn seeing multiple sights. The Trick House was not on this list, but at the time she thought 'what harm could a short stop do'?
    Now she knows better than to jinx these things.

    Pokémon (up to six): Marina, female Swanna
    Beau, male Dustox
    Skye, female Sceptile(with Sceptilite)
    Raider, female Roserade
    Koray, male Umbreon
    Mori, male Sylveon

    Entrapment Length: Roughly three months.

    Other: Niko's Umbreon and Sylveon, Koray and Mori, are brothers.

    First RP was named Seeds of Secrets, but it never appeared in RP itself so.. can we have them this time? It could just be some kind of seed that has random effect when eaten.

    Hey, feel free to do that. Heck, later on, I'm perfectly fine with something like that having plot significance.

    My best estimate is the last RP lasted over the course of a month, so if you're using characters from the first RP, just take whatever was there on the first sign up and add a month to it.
