Pokemon Necro (Open RP for anyone who wants to join)

[Amepix]

Yellow fellows, I be Amepix, but you can call me Choco! I'm currently working on a zombie apocalypse scenario role play, but with zombie Pokémon! I thought it could be an interesting idea, so here we are.

You can be a Pokemon or a Fur, or both if you like. I don't mind. You're also allowed to make your own NPC's, if you so please. Yes, this also means you're allowed to drive the plot, because why not? If you can't think of a way to join the on going story line, create your own until the paths cross. After all, I did say you're allowed to drive the plot, so you could even create you're own!

You can join in at any time! Just try to do it in a way that makes sense, okay? I hope this'll be a fun role play as we all try our best to survive. Btw, if you die, you can come back and be the zombie you, or just be a different character.

It has been a long, long winter. And yet, these monsters still persist the lands. What happened to our world? Where did everyone go? How did this happen? Most people won't know the answer, and unfortunately, this little Rockruff didn't know either. His name was Rocky, and he wandered the wastelands of the dead alone, for a time.

Rocky: Hello? Is someone there?

He calls out into the void, will someone be there to answer him?

 

[Amepix]

Unfortunately, his only response was the moan of a Shambler of the Aipom species. Rocky trembled. He'd always had his big brother to protect him but now-

No, this was no time to whimper and cower in fear, he had to defend himself. Rocky tried his best to focus on the infected Aipom before shooting a flurry of rocks at it, the jagged stones stabbing into the arms, legs, chest and head of the Shambler, causing blood to sprout out from the impact. The Aipom falls over, smashing the back of it's head onto the pavement below with a audible crunch.

The reddish liquid began to spill from the now dead Shambler's head, and it's eyes leaked the same reddish fluids before the strange eye pattern disappeared. The creature was in fact dead.

Rocky: Phew! I-I did it! I really did it!

He celebrated, this was truly an accomplishment, as the young Rockruff had never slain a zombie before. However, would this celebration bring the attention of a fellow survivor, or will it bring the scorn of the dead?

 

[PC Master Race]

When the first zombie outbreak was sighted, the world couldn't hold itself together, panic and chaos ensued.
When more of those zombies begin to rip and tear the world apart, apocalypse was inevitable.
Winter has come, the cold stripping away all senses of hopes, leaving behind only a bleak feeling and a fear of the unknown.
Unknown of what might become of tomorrow. If there is a tomorrow at all. Let alone an answer to all of this.
In this dead, ghost city, a mere dead shell of its former metropolis glory before the madness begun, the few remaining survivors are stranded among the zombies.
Among the survivors, there is a Rockruff...

However, would this celebration bring the attention of a fellow survivor, or will it bring the scorn of the dead?

His cheer for his first achievement of killing a zombie gets the former.
A voice calls out to him from a distance, but whoever it is, isn't in sight. Perhaps on the other side, behind the crumbled buildings.

??? : Hey ! Is someone there !?

From the sound of it, it doesn't seem to be a Rapid...

 

[Amepix]

Rocky: Hello?! Hey, I'm over here! Near the... Um... *reads the name of the sign above him* Near the Poke Mart!

 

[PC Master Race]

Rocky: Hello?! Hey, I'm over here! Near the... Um... *reads the name of the sign above him* Near the Poke Mart!

Poor guy must be pretty desperate to give away his location without even being sure if it's a survivor or a raider.
But for the moment, the stranger sounds... genuine. In a way.

??? : "Poke Mart" ?... Alright, I'm coming, stay put. Are you hurt ? How many of you are there ?

 

[Amepix]

Rocky: Just me... And no, I'm okay.

*he proceeds to sit down at the front of the Poke Mart in wait for the stranger to arrive*

 

[PC Master Race]

Rocky: Just me... And no, I'm okay.

*he proceeds to sit down at the front of the Poke Mart in wait for the stranger to arrive*

??? : Alright, sit tight, I'm coming.

Eventually, the Rockruff could hear footsteps from a distance. Pretty heavy footsteps.
Judging from the sounds, it seems that the stranger is wearing boots, or he has hooves.
And a while later, they come into each other's sight.
In front of Rocky, is... an elephant taur. A MASSIVE elephant taur, at that.
No tusks, no fur, only bare skin.
He is armed with quite a set of guns, along with... a light saber. Or something similar. The blade appears to be made of laser, with some kind of fire aura along the edge.

Spoiler: SMG

Spoiler: assault rifle

Spoiler: shotgun

Spoiler: light saber

??? : Are you alright ? Did you run into any zombie ?

 

[Amepix]

Rocky: Yeah, that one. *he says before pointing toward the dead shambler laying on the ground with Sharp jagged rocks sticking out of it's skin* I killed it. Was a bit easier than what my brother told me though.

 

[PC Master Race]

He looks at the dead shambler, then back at the rockruff. Still not easing up. Still a cautious expression on his face, as he looks around to be sure.
No signs of any other zombie in sight, for now. But it doesn't mean the two are out of danger yet. The three guns and even a rather seemingly sci-fi high-tech melee weapon doesn't make the stranger that much safer from the zombies, than any other survivors.
One bite, and he'd bite the dust, too.

??? : Don't let it get to you. If there's one, there might be others.

He walks up to Rocky.

??? : You're all on your own around here ? Do you have any safe place, or just wandering around ?

Judging from his voice, he seems around 27.

 

[Amepix]

Rocky: Well, I did have a safe place to stay, but... Some zombies got in and my brother helped me escape. I... I haven't seen him for awhile after that. We got separated.

This Rockruff seemed to be very young, probably born during the first year of the apocalypse. Probably making him two or three years old (dogs years because Rockruff is a dog Pokémon)

 

[PC Master Race]

The elephant-taur frowns at hearing the attack that got Rocky and his brother apart. He looks into the distant, but obviously not expecting any miracle there, probably just to avoid eye contact.

??? : ... I'm sorry to hear that.

Then he looks back at Rocky.

??? : How do you defend yourself ? I don't think I see any weapon you carry with you.

 

[Amepix]

Rocky: I'm a Rockruff, a rock type Pokémon. I'm able to use the elements of rocks to attack. It's like magic, I guess.

That would explain the stones that have been jabbed into the shambler, as, they seemed to have been forcefully stabbed into it.

 

[PC Master Race]

??? : That's good to know, but I'd still suggest keeping something as backup. Can never be too careful. I have magma, lava and fire, and I'm not even a fire-type pokemon, but it's better safe than sorry.

That would explain why he carries so many weapons around.

??? : ... Why don't you come with me back to my place. Better than standing out here in this cold.

He gestures for Rocky to follow.
Not sure if he's a raider, luring the rockruff in, or if he's just another survivor that believes that the only way to walk out of this hellhole alive, is by sticking together.

??? : Name's Jin. You ?

 

[Amepix]

Rocky: I'm Rocky. Nice to meet you, Jin.

Rocky begins to follow him, as even if Jin was a raider, anything was better than being out in this weather. And he has been walking for a good few days, so a place to rest would be appreciated.

 

[PC Master Race]

Jin : Nice to meet you too.

The two survivors, following Jin's backtrack, through the desolated streets and passing by the abandoned buildings, occasionally coming across one or two shamblers on the way. Thankfully, this weak variant of the zombies only needs a single sunlight laser bolt or some stone shards to go down. Jin's guns prove to be not as noisy as normal guns, which help in avoiding attention of any other zombies nearby.
However, the cold is quite unforgiving. If not for his fire-based element, the big guy might have a pretty bad time trying to survive through this season. If not the zombies, then the cold might very well really do him in, no joke.
Through the Poke Mart street, roughly 10 minutes later, the two reach another crossroad. The other sign reads "Flint Ember".

Jin : Almost there.

Flint Ember, the street where blacksmith workshops were prominent.
For anyone that doesn't have any elemental powers, one of the next best things they could resort to, at the very least to defend themselves, would be the weapons made for all to use.
Firearms were pretty common for their effectiveness. Easy to use, just take aim and pull the trigger. Fast to use, no need to focus and control elemental powers to get the job done. Safe to use, still able to get the job done from a distance. As long as there's enough ammo.
Melee weapons, on the other hand, were for people not wanting to bother with ammo, or make a scene and draw unwanted attention due to the loud gunfire.
But now, in this apocalypse, it matters not whether it's close or long range, the best weapon is what helps to keep one alive until at least the next day.
Unfortunately, the workshops have all been raided and looted through and through.
All's fair in love and war, so they say.
When everyone's fighting for their dear life, does money mean anything anymore ? Just grab what you can/want, and hope for the best you can make the most of it, for as long as you can.
Once a proud street, where the workshops were heated up until sunset, where the forges were full steam ahead until night settled, now only a cold shell of its former blazing glory.
But, at the very least, one still remains.
The sign is pretty damaged, battered and roughed up, but still readable.

"Workshop Number 3-45"

 

[Amepix]

Rocky looks curiously at the sign. Almost as if he'd never seen it before, though he could in fact read, as he was able to read 'Poke Mart', but it was very clear he was confused by something.

Rocky: Hey, Jin. What's a workshop?

 

[PC Master Race]

Jin : Hm ?... Oh. A "workshop" is a place where people create tools, equipment, or weapons like the ones I have here. The products are almost always metals, as far as I know. And the people that work at... well, workshops, are called "blacksmiths". I'm a blacksmith. I make weapons.

He gestures Rocky to follow.

Jin : You never seen a workshop before ?... Or you have, but just don't know what it's called ?

 

[Amepix]

Rocky seems to think for a moment before following him inside and answering.

Rocky: Well, all I've really known is a Poke Mart. At least, that's what my brother told me we lived in. That's why I was at that other one. I thought maybe he'd be there waiting for me.

 

[PC Master Race]

Jin : I see.

The rockruff only knows that one street ?
Hard to imagine how it must have been, not knowing anywhere else outside one single comfort zone.
As Rocky follows Jin, they make it to that workshop, with number 3-45. It still seems active and operable, for the most part, despite being pretty damaged.
All windows are barricaded and reinforced, but they still show just how many times they have been broken into and repaired, up until now.
The slide door is massive, big enough for Jin to get through.

When they enter, Rocky could see four other people in the room, too.
A maned wolf, but with feather wings and avian talons. She has yellow fur, blue hair and bright-blue eyes.
A wolf, with cyan blue fur, purple eyes and nose. She seems to have nebula clouds and aurora waves coming off her fur coat.
A calico cat - african wild dog hybrid. He looks mostly a cat, but with the large round ears and fur pattern of an african wild dog. His eyes are green.
A white bear (but not exactly a polar bear), with green eyes. He looks to be the largest and strongest of the four.

The interior is quite messy and dusted, with furniture now all re-arranged for one single purpose, to block off the windows, keep the zombies from getting in, and prevent any noises inside from getting out.
But, even so, they have seen better days.
At the center of the room is a makeshift fireplace, of sort. There is a ring of magma stones around, (literally) some lava within it, and fire burning on the surface. There is also a thin, faint ray of sunlight shining upon it. But, somehow, it's not as burning hot as one might expect ; in fact, it just gives off a soothing warmth.
At a corner of the room is a refrigerator, but it looks somewhat old. At the opposite corner, is a bed ; just simply a mattress and a slightly tattered blanket.

Jin : Hey kids. Dad is back.

Did he just call those four, "kids" ? And himself, their dad ?

 

[Amepix]

Rocky seemed confused by that word. So he looked up to Jin and asked.

Rocky: Dad? What's a dad?

 

[PC Master Race]

At this point, the rockruff really gets them all surprised. The elephant-taur looks at the rockruff, confused and perplexed. Almost dumbstruck, too.

Jin : ... You know what a "brother" is, but not a "dad" ?

 

[Amepix]

Rocky: Well, my brother thought me everything I know. He told me to never go outside without his permission. He thought me how to use my powers in case I ever needed to. And even helped me learn how to read. He's never said that word before.

 

[PC Master Race]

The surprise and confusion is replaced with a spark of tension and concern.
There could be so many reasons his brother never said that word, but it feels like they all point to one very likely... and concerning conclusion : the brothers' parents probably never made it, and are no more.

Jin : ... Why don't you come in. I'll do my best to answer what you wanna ask. One at a time though, heh.

He introduces the kids to him, in order.

Jin : These are my children. Frances (maned wolf), Rin (calico cat - african wild dog), Galaxy (nebula wolf), and Weston (bear).

Then he introduces him, in return.

Jin : He's Rocky, a rockruff pokemon. I found him outside, he got separated from his brother after his safe place got attacked.

 

[Amepix]

Rocky: Hello everyone. It's nice to meet you.

A smile was evident on his muzzle, he seemed quite happy to see some other people somewhere that was safe. A swift yawn was followed after this as he rubbed one of his eyes with his paws.

Rocky: I'm sleepy...
