leaf on the wind; watch me soar

Her Slyveon came to an abrupt halt, her ears perked up resulting in Leaf to become wary.

“Titania?” she called out to the Fairy Pokemon.

An odd rumbling thundered underfoot, alarming her. Out of nowhere, a Graveler came tumbling towards them, panicking Titania. Leaf reacted quickly, pushing her Pokemon out of the way in time.

Things did not go so well for her, however.

While she managed to dodge the Graveler, the Pokemon’s rough surface grazed her leg. Wincing, she took a step back only to feel her foot slip against the cliff’s edge.

No...This can’t...

Her heart dropped as she found herself falling.

Be happening...

Reaching out her hands, she found a branch growing from the side of the cliff and clung to it for dear life. Her heart hammering in her chest, adrenaline pumping through her veins and nothing to catch her below. Her hands trembled, her arms tensing at the sudden use of muscle. She dared not to get a tighter grip in fear of truly falling.

Titania’s head peered over the ledge as she recited her name in a frenzy of worry. The Intertwining Pokemon began to pace back and forth, her ribbon-like feelers reaching towards her trainer.

“I-I’m okay, Titania,” Leaf tried to reassure her Slyveon. A meek smile formed on her lips. “Please, get help.”

UOI;

Ye-rin Yui Mizutani. 27 years old. Maternal Cousin.

cheerful. caring. responsible. honest. gullible. fickle. pushy. materialistic. bubble-burster.

Meganium. Froslass. Gardevior. Ninetales. Milotic. Plusle.

dancing&&singing. hugging in general. fashion&&more fashion. flowy summer dresses. pretty accessories&&pretty ribbons. girls night&&girls day.

Leaf’s cousin on her mother’s side as well as Mari’s older sister. She was born and raised in the Johto region.

Due to Leaf having difficulty pronouncing their given names when she was little, Ye-rin suggested she call them by their Kanto names instead. As such, Ye-rin was referred to by Leaf as ‘Yui’. However, her closest friends and her family members call her by ‘Ye-rin’.

As children, she and Mari often played together with Leaf. The Park family would visit the Kusaki’s at their home in Pallet Town, usually during the summer and spring seasons. However, these visits steadily came to a halt as the Park sisters approached their tenth year.

Yui taught Leaf how to weave flower crowns and assisted in strengthening her sewing skills. She encouraged her younger cousin to pursue sewing and knitting as a hobby considering Leaf was adept in it. When playing, she wasn’t fond of rambunctious games and insisted on more feminine games such as playing house, playing dress up or having tea parties. It is known that Yui was the one that dressed up her sister and cousin in the outfits that made their parents snap tons of pictures in much to Leaf and Mari’s dismay.

Once Yui reached the age of ten, she began her Pokemon journey. She was a decent battler and was able to collect a handful of badges, however, she believed that being a Pokemon Trainer was not her calling and decided to pursue something different. While on her travels, she heard of Pokemon Contests and Pokemon Coordinators, hailing from the Hoenn region. Interested at this prospect, Yui decided to journey there. It was in the Hoenn region that she found her passion as well as her future husband.

As a Pokemon Coordinator, Yui was quite talented and shone on stage alongside her Pokemon. An excellent Pokemon groomer, she was able to bring out the inner beauty of her Pokemon and designed both her and her Pokemon’s outfits herself. Yui quickly rose in the Contest Halls and became rather popular. While not a top star Pokemon Coordinator, she did well and enjoyed what she did.

In a majority of her contests, she was often pitted against a male Pokemon Coordinator, Asahi Mizutani. The two developed a friendly rivalry which turned into friendship and later turned into love. As they went against each other during the finale of the Master Pokemon Contest, Asahi proposed to her. Yui accepted and the happy couple became engaged. At age 24, they wed and at age 26, Yui gave birth to a baby girl.

Yui no longer has the time to participate in the glamorous Contest Halls, though she does do earn a living with her little shop. She sells homemade outfits for Pokemon and Pokemon Coordinators alike as well as offers Pokemon grooming services. She works from home so she can be near her husband and her daughter. She loves going on playdates with her friends and loves her life and family.

Min-Seo Mari Park. 25 years old. Maternal Cousin.

calm. adventurous. bold. friendly. irresponsible. blunt. finicky. rash. sarcastic.

Feraligator. Flareon. Tyrannitar. Flygon. Salamence. Ampharos.

apple pie&&apple tarts. just apples in general. dying her hair. 50 shades of black. cat eared headphones. dinosaurs&&dragons. snow.

Leaf’s cousin on her mother’s side as well as Yui’s younger sister. She was born and raised in the Johto region. Like with Yui, Leaf refers to Min-Seo by her Kanto name, Mari.

She is quite opposite her sister in several ways. Whereas Yui prefers dressing up in pretty, bright colors, Mari is quite content with dressing in various shades of black. Yui is more responsible and on it with things while Mari is all over the place and the type to easily lose her phone. Mari loves dying her hair fun colors and has several tattoos, on the other hand, Yui plays it a little more safe. Mari is more spirited and daring in comparison to her cautious and courteous older sister. She often liked to play pranks and jokes on her gullible older sister.

As a child, Mari enjoyed trips to Kanto to see her aunt, uncle and cousin. She found Leaf fun and was also slightly happy to have someone younger than her around. Opposite her sister, Mari enjoyed games of tag and hide and seek. She enjoyed dragging Leaf away from Yui’s tea parties to join her and the two girls would spend hours on end chasing one another through Pallet Towns’ lush fields. Leaf was closest to Mari due to their age.

Once Mari reached ten years old, she excitedly set out for her journey. Having witnessed her sister begin her journey a few years before had her eager to begin. She chose Totodile as her starter from Professor Elm, due to it’s dinosaur-ish appearance and happily bounded off. Unlike Yui, being a Pokemon Trainer suited Mari just fine. She battled her way across Johto and soon after that, traveled across Kanto. Considering Yui’s profession, Mari traveled in Hoenn as well, battling trainers and taking on gym leaders as she went. The only Pokemon league she challenged was the Johto one, however.

When Yui became pregnant, Mari’s travels came to a steady halt as she helped her sister settled into her new life. During this period, Mari worked part time at a flower shop in Hoenn as she aided her sister and her sister’s husband with the pregnancy. It was there that she met a traveler from Sinnoh and took a liking to him. The feeling was mutual and during Mari’s free time, they hung out with each other. Eventually they confessed their feelings for one another, however, he had to return to Sinnoh. Mari loved him and that was that. The two entered a long distance relationship while she continued to help her sister.

Maddox Kusaki. 44 years old. Father.

intelligent. witty. amiable. reserved. capable.cunning. greedy. distant. deceitful. cynical. stubborn. detached.

Braviary. Charizard. Nidoking. Magnezone. Samurott. Haxorus.

cafes&black coffee. long black jackets. secluded forests&&beaches. the color of autumn leaves. leaf&hanako’s pecha berry pie. reading. sketching.

Leaf’s estranged father.

Clever, capable and talented, Maddox had been a well known trainer. His natural skill on the battlefield made him a force to be reckoned with, while his wit and easy going vibe made him popular among his peers. Since departing on his journey, he traveled around the world, collecting gym badges from each region and absorbing knowledge as he went. He took pleasure in his travels and logged things down in his journals. He loved the ever expanding information at his fingertips, loved the thrill of each battle win. After years of exploring the world, he finally returned home to settle down with his childhood love, Hanako. But was it enough? Was his journey big enough?

For all his life, Maddox had been searching for something beyond his reach. A thirst to prove himself, a need to make an impact in some shape or form. These thoughts consumed him, to the point where he was no longer satisfied with life. He joined forces with Giovanni, the son of a longtime friend of the Kusaki’s, and assisted him in his plans in building Team Rocket. Blind by greed, he poured his time and effort into Team Rocket and put a strain on his relationship with Hanako.

Once Maddox had learned of Giovanni’s true intentions, a disagreement between the two took place. Sensing the danger, he makes a choice. That very night, he takes his research from the Rocket headquarters and leaves Team Rocket as well as his family for good.

Being on the run from Giovanni and Team Rocket, Maddox had never stayed at any place for long. He’s constantly on the move and tries to avoid lasting connections to people. He does have several secret hideouts, however. One located in Unova, one in Kanto and one in Kalos. Unknown to both Hanako and Leaf, Maddox does check up on them from time to time. He especially likes to make sure his daughter is safe on her travels.

Despite his vagabond lifestyle Maddox does like to enjoy simple pleasures such as reading, sketching and going into a cafe for a cup of coffee. Though he is technically no longer a Pokemon Trainer, he still jots down things in the journals he keeps on hand. He has a fondness for fur lined jackets (if it’s black and knee length, it’s a bonus) and comfortable footwear. Maddox is very adept in technology and tinkering, for a price he can fix almost anything and tends to use this skill when he is need of extra cash. He is also very good at telling stories, a skill he often used on Leaf, Fire, Red and Green.

He seems aware on how much of himself has imprinted on his daughter, from her love to reading and learning and traveling, to her talent in strategy and raising Pokemon. He tries not to dote on it (but he does anyway).

He is also aware that Leaf is searching for him and while hesitant on the matter, knows he can’t stop running from her for long.

eyyy WEople

just letting you guys know that i updated some stuff on leaf’s blog-a-roo.

i made some changes to my rules + mun page and added some hopefully helpful info for current and future rp partners. soo check that out.

i also did a much needed update on leaf’s relationship page, so if you’re threading with her have fun reading up on that.

i cleaned up leaf’s thread page as well.

The sudden flutter of fairy-like wings startle her then and she whirls on the spot, heart hammering in her chest. Nothing. Though she feels as if she was being watched, knows it.

               Is this some kind of test?                          Some kind of game?

A small smile forms on her lips at the thought. Perhaps it was. Or perhaps she was not one that this legendary Pokemon wanted to associate with. Perhaps it was merely waiting for her to leave it’s forest.

That thought elicited a soft sigh from her. She observed her surroundings, peering all around. Those particular areas where the sun dimly filtered through the dense treetops seemed almost like stars in the shrouding darkness. She liked it here. Something about this forest felt just magical.

A rustling to her left has her jumping up in alarm. Her heart is hammering again, adrenaline pulsing through her. Though it isn’t the flutter of those fairy-like wings she hears, it’s the familiar sound of crunching through grass. Partially disappointed and partially curious, her head tilts to the side.

“Hello?” she calls out, her tone slightly softer than usual.

The sound of fairy wings fluttering around above has her peering about. They’re frantic, she feels. No --- excited?

                 But why?

Celebi suddenly zips down before the two humans and let’s out a recital of it’s name.

Leaf is awestruck at the legendary Pokemon, her eyes wide in complete wonder. She wasn’t imagining it. Celebi had been there in the forest with her and with this stranger too.

The Pokemon begins to glow, bright and golden green, a little smile playing across its lips. Ilex Forest also seems to glow, shimmers pulsating through the foliage and the trees, everything swaying in a kind of standstill.

Leaf caught the eye of the individual beside her.

                  What was happening?
