Rokian Researcher

“IS THIS THING WORKING?”

…

“Oh good!

Hello and greetings to whomever is reading this. My name is Aspen, a Pokémon Professor from the Rokia region.

My main focus of study in particular is over artificially created Pokémon and how technology impacts the environment.

Currently I’m working on a project that will allow a Pokémon undergo a transformation I dub Augmentation. Pokémon that undergo this transformation will receive a stat boost as well as gain the Cyber Typing. Some Pokémon even gain new forms from this transformation.

On this blog I will be posting some facts and information about the various Pokémon, People, Organizations, and Robots which call this region home as well as some personal stuff relating to my research.

Though there are some things that I have done and been through that I would like to forget.

Feel free to interact or ask me questions on my research or even anything about Rokia in general. I will happily tell you more

Until then….

This is Professor Aspen signing off…

Yet not everyone thinks like I or my college Thomas. And some are willing to go as far as to destroy any and all research into that sort of technology via any means possible.

There’s also plenty of people who would also want to use machines for evil which is why I’ve created a little program should any of these nutcases attempt to use my work to cause harm. The program, when activated, will essentially cease all normal routine functions and force the affected machine into a defensive attack state. This cannot be reversed unless the target is either neutralized or out of range or if they themselves are forced to shut down, destroyed, or if the program itself is terminated or overwritten.

Thankfully it is designed to only be toggled under very specific and strict circumstances.

I’m still regretful of having to create this thing and I honestly hope it never comes down to this… this… Thing! I have created to ever be used.

But alas, with people like Wily out there and some rumors of some anti-technology movement growing in a small area of central Rokia led by some man named Harvey Greenleaf, I can never be too sure.

OOC: Since I’ve been lazy and I have yet to actually post a bio and stuff for Prof Aspen. This will be a starting point until I get more stuff organized.

Her full name is Europa Aspen

She was born in Rokia but spent a large majority of her early childhood traveling the world since her father was a sailor before settling down in their home region for good

Her closest friend from childhood and former rival is the current Champion of Rokia. His name is Lumin.

She is predominantly right handed

Aspen is actually missing one of her arms. She lost it following an incident involving a project she was working on. It has been replaced by a bionic arm that looks and functions just like a real one, but she is unable to feel anything with it.

She used to disassemble and reassemble pokedexes when she was little whenever she got bored. Sometimes she would even modify them.

She loves the ocean and even has a collection of shells and sea glass

A former member of the Area Zero research team. She was originally contacted to help come work on a “little something” that would later lead to the creation of Something Else (Aspen is well aware of what is in that Pit and there’s no way she’s telling anyone or risking the Emerald Spears and Xander Payne possibly blowing up the entirety of Paldea because of a machine.

“One of my jobs as a Pokémon Professor is to help new trainers get their Starters if they haven’t so already.

Just like most other regions, I do the usual Grass, Water, and Fire Starter Pokemon. We have a few local breeders who I get my Pokémon from and I always have a few at the lab just in case.

Rokia’s starter lineup consists of Lambush (Grass), Pudduck (Water), and Cinapup (Fire)

All three are rather rounded Pokémon for new trainers starting out and their final forms can make for a rather useful team member later on down the road.

Unfortunately even they are only capable of so much.

Robots are bound by those Three Laws, incapable of true free will.

But I wish to change that.

I’m going to be the first to build a Robo- no… A creature, capable of replicating that of an organic being to a tee. Free to make it’s own decisions and not be bound by a series of pre-programmed restrictions.

“A perfect balance of nature and technology at it’s finest…”

I’m going to be leaving for Paldea in a couple of weeks. I can’t really disclose much of what it’s about but a college in the Pokémon field asked that I join them. They said they needed someone who’s knowledgeable with Robots for a little project of theirs.
