*Insert your favourite Pokemon theme here* This is the project Dylan and I have been working on. We hope it was worth the wait. Yep, a Pokemon RP. Though, given our lack of Poke-knowledge, we decided we couldn’t set it in an existing Region, so we created our own. Welcome to Ganlo! ----------- An island Region located just north of Kalos, Ganlo used to be a major power in the world. But for over half a century now it influence has dropped to almost being a forgotten relic. The mind-set of the nation sort of reflects this, as the Region does focus a lot on its history, such as its towns being named after ancient weapons, and its gyms often located inside historical structures. According to legends, Ganlo was once ruled by a race of Dragon Pokemon who enslaved the humans and weaker pokemon before they were overthrown, and likely driven to extinction. After this, the people of Ganlo began spreading out and forming an Empire. There are two unique aspect about the Pokemon in Ganlo. The first being there are no fixed starters for the Region. Instead, when potential Trainers register, they may select a starter from another region and have it shipped in, or they may take one of their own Pokémon, if they have any. Second, there are no known unique Pokemon species in Ganlo. Any that were unique have either been spread to other regions long ago and found there as well, or are so rare to be close to extinction and never seen. Conversely, there are hardly any (currently known) Pokemon Species not found in Ganlo. The population of Ganlo are also very keen on Contests. One vs one contests are almost as common as battles (with another trainer asked to judge). And every town and city has contests every Saturday, though only the contests in the cities can hand out official Award Ribbons. Ganlo is split into four sub-regions. North, South, Central, and Island. Transport is manly handled by the extensive train service. Every town and city has a train station and routes to all nearby settlements. Map The Legendary Dragons In the ancient History of Ganlo’s Dragon Wars, three powerful dragons are named as siding with humanity, and eventually convincing others to do so; Galeas, Lamhcalad and Gauvain. Some soruces say they were dragons who felt pity on the enslaved humans. Others that they were humans who found a way to become dragons themselves. Their fate is equally conflicted. Most legends say they were slain when the humans turned on them after the war, but some accounts talk of them fleeing Ganlo, and others hiding somewhere within its lands. (These Legendries can be claimed like any other, but WILL tie you into the metaplot of the RP, so can’t be used freely until a certain point in the story) Name: Galeas (Mascot of Drake) (Claimed by Skye) Type: Dragon / Water Description: A long, lithe light blue dragon. A long fin runs from the top of his head to almost the tip of his tail. Personality: Despite being a dragon, Galeas is quite meek and shy. But if he has a cause to fight for he can be relentless Name: Lamhcalad (Mascot of Wyvren) Type: Dragon / Fire Description: A bulky scarlet coloured dragon with solid, spiny black plates along his neck, back and tail. Personality: As befits his type. Lamhcalad is hot tempered and rash. However, he still tries to fight for what he sees as ‘right’. Name: Gauvain Type: Dragon / Grass Description: A dark green dragon with two sets of wings, and wholes tail ends with several viney whips. Personality: Gauvain is the balance of the trio, able to keep Lamhcalad in check and encourage Galeas. He is kind and friendly, even to his foes.

Amber on the other hand wanted to stay at the Centre, but she didn’t want to leave her sister either. And when her parents pointed out that going out in the world might help her learn more about Eevees and other Pokémon, she decided to go along too. Kimberly chose her starter Pokemon because it was the “cutest and cuddliest” from her point of view, while Amber was gifted an Eevee egg as a thank you present from a grateful customer after she nursed the customers sick Eevee back to health.
