"PRINCE"

CURRENT TEAM: PORYGON SNUBBULL EEVEE SLOWPOKE ZUBAT ODD EGG

FOR REFS AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE IMAGES PLEASE SEE THE TOYHOUSE LISTING HERE

"PRINCE": (This VENONAT sure does pick up a lot of items... even got an ENERGY ROOT from it...)

"PRINCE": "Hmm..." (Is this normal.)

"PRINCE": "By the way the EGG hatched while I was training with VENONAT, it's an IGGLYBUFF."

"PRINCE": "I went back to GOLDENROD for a sec to battle the PICKNICKER on my 'NAV and there's like, a CAFe there? Everything on the menu costs 9500P ough..."

"PRINCE": "I fought a guy with 3 shiny MAGNEMITE like okay..."

"PRINCE": "Also I got jumped by a VOLTORB in the RADIO TOWER, and then I fought a TRAINER under the CLASS BEAUTIFULMAN? I don't know what's going on in that TOWER."

"PRINCE": "Alright, I'll be back after I exit this CAVE, bye~!"

A previous recording is saved before this one...

"PRINCE": "Why would we cross paths? I didn't know CYNDAQUIL even s..."

"PRINCE": "Appear in ILEX FOREST..."

"PRINCE": ("Although that's weird... How could I meet a specific POKeMON-")

"PRINCE": ("Did I miss a static encounter...")

"PRINCE": "O.K, well. I'm heading out, now. I don't really want another STARTER on my team, anyways."

For once, you get to see the TRAINER in person outside the cropped screen of their POKeNAV. They're a bit tall compared to most rookie TRAINERs, and behind them is a VENONAT. His clothes look new and pack hardly used, it's very obvious they just started. His stance is firm but slightly anxious, as if ready to flee at any moment.

"PRINCE": "Oh, a... Talking POKeMON...!"

"PRINCE": "Wow, JOHTO is full of new surprises."

"PRINCE": "I think I'm adjusting more or less, I'd like to think my TEAM is considering they're uh... From here."

"PRINCE": "I believe GOLDENROD has another GYM so I'm heading back out through ILEX FOREST on my way to VIOLET CITY. Though I did consider heading out the opposite way to see new POKeMON..."

"PRINCE": "Actually I doubt I'll come back through the CAVE... Maybe I should head out that way, then..."

"PRINCE": (Isn't this the number that that GROWLITHE called from...)

"PRINCE": "Uh, yeah... I... Won my first GYM BADGE!"

"PRINCE": "Haha..."

"PRINCE": "I got a call from the LEAGUE about it, they updated my profile and all that. Gonna try heading to Violet City as apparently there's something there for new participants with one BADGE."

"PRINCE": "So I've made it back to AZALEA TOWN. I used up like- pretty much all my POKeBALLS catching a VENONAT but it's sooo cute how could I not..."

"PRINCE": "I saw a BULBASAUR in ILEX FOREST which is crazy if you ask me."

"PRINCE": "Alright I'm about to fight BUGSY."

You can see the familiar interior of AZALEA TOWN's GYM in the background. The camera is shaky and clearly being recorded on a small device as the resolution isn't very great, either. You can't really make out what BUGSY is saying.

"PRINCE" leads with EEVEE vs BUGSY's METAPOD.

EEVEE takes it out with TACKLEs, and BUGSY sends in KAKUNA.

Though EEVEE manages to take that down, too, he's poisoned in the fight. Next up is BUGSY's SCYTHER.

"PRINCE": "Ahhh shiiiitt... Alright, swap with SNUBBULL."

The screen goes white with the POKeBALL's light and EEVEE is swapped for SNUBBUL.

You watch as SNUBBUL trades TACKLEs with SCYHER's FURY CUTTERs until-

"PRINCE": "E-eh-"

The SNUBBULL is returned to its POKeBALL.

The camera feed is clearly shaking as PORYGON finishes the fight with SCYTHER, thus ending the GYM battle in a victory. Before you can see anything else, the feed cuts out.

"PRINCE": "Hello-"

"PRINCE": "Uh, whose GROWLITHE is this?"

"PRINCE": (Actually I only have that PICKNICKER and BILL registered, here...) (Guess it's someone's POKeMON just mashing buttons on their TRAINER's POKeGEAR...)

"PRINCE": "Yes yes yes, bark bark. I have a GYM battle to do, so uh. Bye."

"PRINCE": "Yup! Most TRAINERs pick an ALIAS for their LEAGUE sign up and participation- helps build a brand while keeping your identity personal and away from public eye for the most part."

"PRINCE": "Although usually they'll also pick a TRAINER CLASS prefix, I opted not to."

"PRINCE": "I haaave... EEVEE, SNUBBULL, ZUBAT, SLOWPOKE, PORYGON, and this ODD EGG I picked up from the DAYCARE..."

"PRINCE": (I have... no idea what's in this EGG.)

"PRINCE": "Oh and in my BOX is a PIDGEY."

"PRINCE": "PORYGON was my STARTER sent to me by the LEAGUE when I registered." "EEVEE I got from BILL in GOLDENROD just the other day, actually."

"PRINCE": "Well, yeah- Usually." "I just moved here, so..."

"PRINCE": "I was lucky I found a basement being rented for cheap. Was able to save up to start my journey."

A distorted camera feed starts to play on your screen. It suddenly clears and before you is a TRAINER, behind them a large city.

"???": Hello- Hello, is this thing on? I think I see it flashing recording...

"???": Cool, heyo! My TRAINER ALIAS is PRINCE.

"PRINCE": This is my POKeLIVE! Though I'm a bit late to start it...

"PRINCE": I'm actually currently in GOLDENROD CITY! I started in AZALEA and have to... go back...

"PRINCE": I forgot about the gym in there....

"PRINCE": I'll be back to update y'all on what happens! First gym let's go! It'll probably be easy seeing as it's the first one for me~.

Interaction Rules:

Please do not pester me for a reply. I can be prone to dropping interaction chains, too, especially if there isn't much for me to work with.

Similarly, please don't just send or reply with something simple like "hello", I can't really do anything with it.

Please specify in your ask in some way (either through description of action or at the end as a footnote) if your character is actually there with "PRINCE". Otherwise it will be treated as a POKENAV call.

Pokepasta, OCs, Pokemon or Trainers alike all welcome~.

Personality: ???

Fun Facts: ???

Welcome to Pokelive, currently hosted by PRINCE who has started his journey in the JOHTO region in the ROM hack Crystal Clear, an open world take on the gen 2 games.

This blog is an askblog whose gimmick is being a spin on the pokemon irl blog format. Follow the journey of PRINCE as he progresses through the game while also being able to interact with them. You can keep your ask IC or fourth wall breaking to see what happens if you want~

Largely the scope is low effort and improv with no real plot outlined. Whatever happens, happens. RP icons and minimal art will probably be used here.

All IC asks from other blog characters will be treated as a call from the POKENAV unless the character is also within the JOHTO region and in PRINCE's vicinity. RP chains encouraged~
