Genre: Pokemon and Knights, basically Pokemon in the Dark Age.

Setting: All around Europe

Plot: In the land of Europe during Medieval times, Pokemon roamed the place and waged war. But not with attacks alone, they also you swords and maces! Yes my friends, welcome to the Dark Age! Castles containing Kings and Queens, villages filled with peasants and merchants filled the land. It was a tough life to live, but a rather interesting one indeed.
Out of the dozens of kingdoms, three of them stood above the rest.

The Dark Kingdom: The warhead of the age, they are known for power and aggresiveness. Their king is King Electopi, the strong and fearless Weavile married to his beautiful wife Queen Darmy, which obviously is also a Weavile.

The Pillagners: Known for their sharp minds and great numbers, they have a very healthy community and food is plenty, but they somewhat lack space to thrive in. They are ruled by King Daffdrum and Queen Glare, two highly intellegent Alakazam who are happily married.

The Reconises: The very sneaky and stealthy kingdom, they are few in numbers but are known to be able to survive nearly impossible odds. They are ruled by King Will and Queen Marre, two Shedinja who are well trained in the art of stealth.

Recently though they have begun fighting for an entirely new reason besides land to thrive on and riches. A mysterious Wizard came and scattered ten holy shards across the land, somebody from each kingdom stumbled across a shard and took it. They did not report it to their kings because they had not yet known their use. Out of their knowledge the Shards are part of the Sacred Cross, a symbol that would bring light and health to the kingdom who possesed every shard. The three later stumbled upon a tablet that told it's meaning, and they immediatly told it to their kings. The royals ordered their soldiers to locate the other pieces and kill their enemies for the health it would bring.

Rules:
No Godmoding, Mary Sueing or anything of that sort.
The first two people to join get VIP positions if they are on different teams, the position makes them a Royal Knight and they are the warriors who found the shards. I will be the Royal Knight of the Dark Kingdom.
Please, be litterate! I will not tolerate any sort of bad gramar, no chances.
In case you were wondering, Rapidash are this RP's version of Horses, so obviously you cannot be one.
You can start out as any rank (Except Royal Knight, only VIPs get to be those) but I will not accept you if everybody tries to be the highest rank.
You can chose your weapon, no matter what rank you are.
Please follow this rank system I made up, it clearly states you cannot be a king. The importance chain is the higher it is on the list, the higher it is in ranking.

Ranks:
Royal Knight (Strong Knights in shiny gold armor, they are a pleasure to have in the Kingdom. Rapidash are optional and only VIPs are Royal Knights.)
Rapidback (They are high-ranked Knights who ride Rapidash. They wear a full set of Steel armor.)
Knights (The most common thing you'd find, they have full steel sets of armor and have reconizable strengh.)
Soldier (They are at the bottom of the line, they are inside chainmail and do not possess strengh someone would applaud for.)

Kawaii and Mr. Aqua, you're in with gratitude. (Man, this Medieval theme is really getting to me.)
meganiumaster: Sorry, but dunsparce is already the Royal Knight, and their are no more VIP spots left. Also your application clearly had no though put into it.
Without any further ado, let's begin!

(Before you yell at me about religions, you should know that anybody who wasn't Christian in the Medieval age was excuted, so I am forced.)

Blazester was roaming in a peaceful field near the castle. The countless flowers reminded him of before this pointless war of greed started. King Electopi had granted him the honor of guarding the shard closely, so he always had it with him. And even a fool would know better than to do anything harmful of twisted to him. He picked up the Holy shard that possesed the love of God and clenched it in him hand. He began feeling drowzy, he laid his head back on the grass and began doozing off.

He jolted up when he heard a huge thunder bolt, he looked around and saw Black and purple clouds floating in a deathly red sky. "What the?!" He stared around and saw peasants evacuating into their homes, everything being on fire. "I need to ask them what's going on!" He ran up towards a young lady who was scrambling to her house. "What is happening?!" The lady just looked at him in horror. "Get away you monster!" She ran away screaming into her house, and locked the door behind her. "M-monster?! What does she mean?" He looked at his hand. Instead of seeing his ussually claws he saw a blood-red hand, his entire body had transformed into a hidious monster! "The shard! The shard!" He quickly looked at his right hand, the one with the Holy shard.

It was gone, in it's place was a massive scyth that just looking at seemed to be the meaning of death. "W-what is happening to me?!" He found a strange force take over his body, and he lost control. "AUGHHH!" A voice rang inside his head in a deathly tone. Don't fight back, Blazester. The more you fight the more I'll be able to control you! "Who are you?!" [i]That will become clear soon enough...[i]

He jolted awake, back on the peaceful grassy fields he loved. It was just a dream... or was it?

((I will use first person if it is alright with you guy. Also, I am referring to you as my commander, Blazikendude, seeing as you are of higher rank, and I am in your squadron.))

I walked along the fields, coming upon a hill to see my very awake, very agitated commander. "Sir, are you alright?" I asked, my English accent very noticeable, as always. I studied his face. "Nightmares?" I looked at him questioningly. I saw him grip his crystal. "Was it about that?" I asked, and pulled out mine.

Blazester turned his head towards Rinae. "Yes, it was a nightmare. The clouds were pitch-black and their was a red sky with the looming sense of death. Everybody was running into there homes. I questionned a lady what was happening and alls she did was yell something about me being a monster. I looked over myself only to find out that I was a... devil. I quickly looked at the Shard to see if it was okay, but it wasn't there. In it's place was a scyth stained with blood."

"Hmmm..." I narrowed my eyes. "What do you think this means?" I looked at him with another emotionless face. "How many times have you had these?"

"Every time I have this shard closeby all my dreams are filled with death of some sort. But unlike all the other nightmares, this time a voice was in my head. it took control of me and made me kill..." He lowered hs head in a sort of sadness.

I glanced at him, and at the crystal. "Maybe you should not sleep with it near you." I said, raising my eyebrows. "At least until we know how to decipher the dreams, or have the need to." I sighed. "What were you doing out here, anyways?"

"I was trying to escape the wars that have been happening for decades. To get away from the stench of blood from past wars. Anyways, how could I guard the Shard as closely as the King asked if I can't stay near it all the time? You know, I may actually have an idea."

"And that is?" I said with a slightly amused voice. My ears twitched in excitement, as my face refused to show it. However, it was clear that I was listening. I leaned back, and tossed my crystal from hand to hand.

((How could you, Kawaii angel! Now I'm stuck with a stupid piplup that's afraid of falling! (no offence)))
Sir Rapid lay in his bed. He had been lying there for hours, but had not gotten a wink of sleep. He got out of his bed. Every individual stone on the wall seemed to stare at him. He exited the castle and headed towards a cliff. He always came out at dark now. Every night seemed like the last, laying in bed for hours before coming to the ridge.


When he finally reached the ridge, he sat down. He would sit there for hours until the sun rose. The cliff was believed to be sacred, a place to clense spirits. Sir Rapid always came here to calm hiself. He prefered it when he was alone. He went to feasts organized by the king, but he did not enjoy the hundreds of hard-working men and women. The king had given him the honor of guarding the shard. he kept it with him always, not trusting anybody to hold it, even for a split second.
