Synopsis
Two years after the Dark Matter Catastrophe, a new rescue team guild was created by the Ace Ranked Team Oracle, made up of Irene the Mienshao, Bast the Salamence, and Jet the Pangoro. After a year of wavering morale and slow growth, they decided to put out ads for other guilds to assist in helping them grow, requesting experienced guild members to shadow the few teams and critique their work. The idea was for the shadows to get paid for their work and for the guild to grow more due to the involvement of other, more popular guilds.
However, the Treasurer and Resource Archiver — Deborah the Furret — was the one to suggest this, and she had an urgent reason for doing so. She believes that the guild is corrupt, and she doesn’t know who’s involved. As such, she wants to ask outside guild members for help with the secret investigation. If she’s wrong, then the guild would still have the critique of the more experienced guild members, and they won’t know about the claims; if she’s right, then the investigation would need to be secret in order to avoid tipping off the ones involved in the corruption.
Guilds have amassed more and more influence as the global catastrophes have increased in scale and frequency; they are practically seen as reigning government, just under the Legends themselves. A corrupted guild could stain the reputation of all of the legitimate guilds that have given their time, resources, and lives to keeping the planet safe.
Main RP Thread
Rules
1. Follow the Marriland Forum Rules and the Rules of Roleplaying.
2. Please make sure your posts have at least five sentences OR seven lines. Though I would prefer both, I know that some situations will not allow for an extreme level of detail, but it’s important to give other writers something to work with.
3. Writers may have up to three characters (which would be a full rescue team). Please note that, due to the nature of this RP, anyone with multiple characters may have their team completely separated at any time. In cases like these, I would like both characters to have three sentences or four lines each, at minimum.
4. I’m currently looking for anywhere between three and six writers, depending on the number of characters each bring.
5. Please be sure that you can stick with the RP, having at least one post per week. If you believe you’re going to be late with a post, please let me know; repeated offenses will result in the writer being booted from the RP.
6. Please keep all OOC content in the Campfire thread. This includes questions about items, clarification, and the like.
7. Please inform others of any impacting decisions such as a plot twist or new relationship.
Notes
1. This RP will be Pokémon only; there will be no humans-turned-Pokémon allowed. Legendary/Mythical Pokémon and Ultra Beasts are also not allowed for use in this RP.
2. The following Pokémon do not exist in this setting: Genesect, Porygon, Porygon2, Porygon-Z, Type:Null, Silvally, Voltorb, Electrode, Alolan Rattata, Alolan Raticate, Alolan Meowth, Alolan Persian, Castform, Foongus, Amoonguss, and Magearna.
3. Rotom will not have its other forms; but its normal form is stronger than in the main series games; it can still possess electronic devices. It cannot possess Orbs or Rescue Team Badges.
4. Fossil Pokémon are extremely rare, as they only live around areas that deal with time: domains of Celebi and Dialga, previous locations of Time Gears, et cetera. As such, they are restricted from use.
5. Alolan-form Pokémon are known as “Delta Variants”, or just “Delta”. Shiny Pokémon are still referred to as such.
6. Though I will generally give leeway to inventory creation, the rarer items will need to be vetted first: this includes Z-Crystals, Amulet Coins, Itemfinders, and (if not from an official rescue team) Orbs.

Inventory: What items does your character carry with them? What sort of container does your character carry them in? This will need to be kept up with throughout the story.

Miscellaneous Information
Basic Guild Info (Opens external document)Baram Guild in the Air Continent, located in Baram Town and lead by Team A.C.T. This guild is loose, with no central headquarters or guild meetings; all of the rescue teams are treated as independent, as that’s what they know. Many of their rescue teams operate from Pokémon Square as well.
Wigglytuff's Guild in the Grass Continent, located in Treasure Town. This guild is close-knit and let by the notorious Wigglytuff. There are few established Rescue Teams, but many of the members are roamers — guild members who join together to form temporary teams depending on the mission.
The Treetop Guild in the Grass Continent, located in Capim Town and lead by Team Razor Wind. Though they’re significantly more formal as guild leaders than the Baram Guild and Wigglytuff’s Guild, they focus on keeping morale up and results high. They’re also slightly more competitive internally, resulting in occasional infighting; but they all care about each other and about their jobs as rescuers. From working with the Baram Guild, Wigglytuff’s Guild, and the Expedition Society, this guild officially introduced the Explorer/Hunter/Researcher class system that most guilds now follow.
The Glamour Guild in the Mist Continent, located in Noe Town and led by Team Charm. Though there was reportedly an independent group keeping the Mist Continent safe, Team Charm decided to move there and offer official guild services. Though they are popular as a team, their guild didn’t gain much traction due to most of the members simply wanting to get close to Team Charm rather than wanting to rescue anyone.
The Expedition Society in the Water Continent, located in Lively Town and led by Ampharos and Mawile. This small group of Pokémon was technically not an official guild until after the Dark Matter Catastrophe, but it was so well-known that they were highly respected even before they applied.
Oasis Guild in the Sand Continent, located in Sahra Town and lead by Xatu. Though this guild is fairly low-key, with Xatu still staring into the sun most of the time, it’s still a powerful force for protection. They are known to be visited by minor legendaries such as Latios, Latias, Hoopa, and Cobalion. Many other guilds visit the Oasis Guild for guidance or information that other guilds struggle to gain.
There are plenty of other smaller guilds, freelancers, and police stations throughout the many continents. Additionally, most guilds have safe houses littered around the continent in which they have jurisdiction, in case of emergencies.
