Pokemon: Rise of Gems!

The Year is XX27

Pokemon have been a part of our lives forever, but until the first great Renaissance, we had never truly studied the creatures.
Recent interest in this endeavor has led to extreme scientific advancement. The one of the most interesting developments during this time came
with the discovery of a great crystal deep in the jungles where Celadon City now resides. This gem was at the epicenter of one of the largest
naturally growing forests in the world, but the most enchanting thing about it was its seemingly irresistible call to the grass type Pokemon.
Researches flocked to the area, they discovered those with grass Pokemon as partners seemed too have the greatest luck getting close to
the gem almost as if the other grass Pokemon did not want to share their prize with other types of Pokemon. As one of the researchers'
Pokemon came into contact with the gem, a fragment would appear for the trainer to take with them. This fragment gave a boost to any grass
Pokemon of the trainer, and seemed to grow in size and power as his Pokemon did.

As the research continued on this phenomena people wondered if there were other stones like this one out there. Soon adventurers and
researchers spread out, looking for high concentrations of Pokemon of the same type. In the last 20 years, we have found five more of these
gems in the Kanto Region. Each one immensely powerful. Towns sprung up around these stones as researchers and trainers alike began to
take refuge among these swarms of Pokemon, beginning to work with the Pokemon to protect this immense power and to research it.
As time went on, the strongest trainer of various types took control of the protection of the gems and the researchers and trained
others to help them. They protected the gems and allowed people to synchronize with them only after proving themselves.

This has been the start of a new trend, Pokemon Journeys. Originally started from researchers wanting the trainers with gem fragments to
test their new powers against each other. Soon it became common place for trainers to travel around Kanto and test their skills as trainers
against the power of the Gems and those Trainers who protected its power. Those who could beat the Leader of the Groups would be
rewarded with a fragment of the gem.

Researchers are still searching for more gems some even looking in new regions and more and more trainers during this time of peace
have taken up the challenge to collect fragments of those gems. Now only time will tell how your adventure will unfold.

Rank/Level System

In this guild we wanted to give a little bit more of a free system that's not based on stats and exp. We've come up with a way to raise levels
and evolve without having to work too hard at keeping track of complicated numbers and stats.

So how does it work?

Well the first thing you need to understand is the Trainer Rank System:

Trainer Ranks are achieved through earning Gem Fragments and other important events in your Trainers life. Each Rank increases
the level you can train Pokemon up to. The levels can be found here.

(ie. You beat the Protector of the Flame Gem so you rank up.)

Now that we know how to Rank up your Character let's learn how to level up Pokemon.

Pokemon level up by being on your team when you make a RP post. Each post is worth a certain amount toward each level depending on what level you are trying to level up to. The System can be found here.

(ie. You're Pokemon are all at level 4 and you make a post, all those Pokemon would increase to level 5. But if they were level 12 you would need to make 2 posts to level them up.)

Remember a Pokemon can not be a higher level than the rank of the Trainer allows. Also all captured Pokemon are at level 1. That's all there is to it, be sure to drop by the Q&A if you have any questions.
