AstralHunter/Chase Forrester
"So you thought you could catch me with the cheapest ball on the market, huh? Good luck with that, Poopsie, but if it's really a battle you want, then let's get started." The Charizard grinned wickedly.
Spoiler! :
@AstralHunter dashed to the kitchen (the encounter was taking place outside his house, much to his brother's amusement), fetched the leftover popcorn from the weekend's movie night, and ran back to the arena, where a @Charizard821 was facing off against a @Poopsie Trainer. The latter had just attempted to catch the former in a Pokéball.
"Okay, hold on!" AstralHunter called, preventing the battle from starting. "All of us aren't present yet. @Robusto, @15253, @Tortwag, @Buggiedude2340, and @TheSilverFox still need to arrive."
"I'm not waiting for my roast pidgeon!" the Charizard exclaimed.
His words were barely cold before he reheated them by snorting fire. It was meant to be an intimidating action, but AstralHunter found it amusing.
"Fine, but then I need to lay down some rules first."
He pulled a scroll, quill, and inkpot from hammerspace and scribbled furiously. When he was done, he approached the wooden table outside the property - for the house was located in a sprawling grassland, and they therefore had ample space all around them - and literally laid the instructions down on the table. He gestured for the two combatants to come closer.

1. Introduce yourself by your username, but employ a character name for yourself thereafter, e.g. "AstralHunter" will be known henceforth as "Chase Foresster".
2. Involve no-one outside the PMD cast; this is an in-house thing. Make use of NPCs instead, since they are more malleable.
3. Unless given explicit permission by the approrpiate SBers, don't control any characters that aren't you or don't belong to you. Even so, try to be reasonable in your actions; don't be invincible or anything like that, since it leads to boredom quite quickly.
4. You may transform into a total of three Pokémon - they needn't be of a separate evolutionary line. Legendaries are banned, of course. Oh, and no choosing Pokémon that have already been chosen."
5. In case you were wondering, we are the Pokémon, yes, but that means we can also be captured. International law says that capturing people is human trafficking, but capturing Pokémon is sport. However, there is a cooldown, so if you just transformed - from human→Pokémon or Pokémon→human (Pokémon→Pokémon doesn't work), you must wait five in-universe minutes before changing again.
6. Keep the posts relatively short and easy to follow.
7. You may still only carry six Pokémon on you at any time, but since each person can become three... well, connect the dots.
8. Colour code the text if it becomes difficult to distinguish the speakers. (I'll only give myself a colour for now.)
9. Oh, and write in the third person past tense.
"That's a lot of rules for something that started out as casual roleplay."
"This is casual roleplay."
The Charizard gave Chase, as AstralHunter would have to start calling himself, a sceptical look.
"Well, semi-casual, at least. By the way, I dibs Lucario before you claim him again. And Gardevoir. And... hmm, I want a canine, but which to choose? Manectric or Houndoom?"
"Lucario is a canine."
"Fair enough. All right, I'll leave him if you agree to leave him."
"I can't promise that."
"That's good enough for me. So, I have Gardevoir, and then... either Manectric or Houndoom. What the heck, I have a dark side too - I'll take Houndoom."
"You have one left."
"Right! Huh, this one will be difficult."
"Why am I being ignored?" Poopsie asked.
"Because you're a Pidove," the Charizard jested.
"You know, you're gonna belong to me once Astral is done thinking."
"How many times?!" Chase asked exasperatedly. ""How many times must I tell you that "Astral" is an adjective, not a noun, so it can't be a name? Besides, it's Chase, now."
"Whatever. Listen, I can choose your third Pokémon for you."
"No! Definitely no- Wait a minute. Sure. The third Pokémon has to be chosen by someone else."
"Who gets to choose?"
"Whoever arrives first, but you may only choose for one other person. Make it an uncommon choice, but not one so ridiculous, the person will never use it."
Poopsie grinned. If Chase hadn't known better, he might have been looking at the Shell Master himself.
Help.
