welcome to calamity! we are an au pokemon site based in hoenn. we do not have canons so you can pick them as your fcs! we have a short one hundred word word count. and you get to also pick your own starter! calamity is going to focus on providing users with a good and stable plot line to follow. this helps each character progress and some might even have a play in affecting the plot! we hope you enjoy your time here and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.
hey guys! we've finally hit our three month mark! let's stay strong. the activity check and gala have ended, if your character has been archived and you need them back please pm one of the admins! unfortunately, noods has steped down from his admin position. make sure you say your goodbyes here!

stratus hovers about her head, floating wide circles gleefully around saga's head. he whistles and hums like the wind as she grimaces, eyes narrowed at the road ahead of her. saga glances at the pokemon out the corner of her eye and raises a hand, whisping it quickly across the tiny weather pokemon in acknowledgement. it doesn't brighten her frown any, however, and the castform exhales a sigh of disappointment at his trainer's rather detached mood. the only thing saga wants more than anything is to get to the next town -- or whatever it is -- and have a warm bath and a plush bed.
this was it, this was the real world. all this time he had hidden under the safety of the brush and bushes of nature and now here he was, in the sunlight of day, and he didn't like it one bit.
finally, she's getting some feeling into her legs and this traveling thing could become bearable. stratus' whimsical humming is almost relaxing and the mid-day sun above warms her back just enough to make this almost enjoyable. saga's starting to think this is all looking up until --
a whismur tumbles from the bushes in front of her and she nearly shrieks, absolutely taken aback by the pink pokemon. her hands raise up in front of her, fingers clenched to tiny fists as they ball up against her chest. her hair bounces about her shoulders as she takes a hesitant step back and stratus dashes in front of her, the weather pokemon frowning at whismur with distaste. though, as saga eyes the creature wearily, it seems he's just as frightened as she is.
"st-stratus... wait," she murmurs ahead, causing her pokemon to grudgingly float back towards her. saga, boldly, takes a step forward and kneels down, wincing at her own bravery. what was she doing? "you gave me a bit of a scare," her tongue clicks at the roof of her mouth before she purses her lips, cautious not to smudge her lipstick. "but are you okay?" the woman offers a smile, ignoring stratus as he puffs up jealously behind her, ready to launch a thunderbolt at any second.
he hadn't even noticed the woman until she knelt down beside him. the whismur jumped into the air, frightened to bits due to her presence, but never ran. he was too terrified.
he watched her with wide, terrified little eyes. this was it. he was dead. there it was, the light, it was the sun. he was ascending into pokemon heaven right this very moment.
but then the lady smiled. what?
the whismur cocked his head in confusion. "whis?"
what was this lady doing?
whismur was scared by saga! whispur was terrified, but became curious. how will saga react?
it's so cute ( though she's unaware of the unsightly loud-mouthed beast that it evolves into ) and saga feels almost bad for being drawn to its fear. it seems that he's calmed down just enough to notice her and she suppresses a quiet chuckle at the whismur's tilted head. she's unsure what else to do other than talk to it, though with stratus' angry whistling behind her, he's making it hard for her to focus. "cut it out," she softly chides the castform before shifting her attention back to the pokemon at hand. well, it wouldn't hurt to have more company, right?
"no reason to be afraid. it's a lovely day," she swipes back a thick curl of hair from her forehead and ignores her companion as he floats away from her in obvious disagreeance. "and stratus and i won't hurt you." was she doing this right? "promise." saga's hand extends painfully slowly, shakily, as she reaches out in an attempt to touch the curious pokemon's ears. she'd much rather win him over this way instead of fighting the poor thing no matter how much stratus seemed to dislike the idea of her being near other pokemon and the fact that she had no experience with this whatsoever.
something about her voice was... oddly soothing. awkward, but soothing. the whismur hummed a little bit after she talked, taking it in.
huh. she seemed pretty nice.
curiously, the whismur waited as the lady reached to touch his ear, smoothing her fingers against it and causing him to practically purr. she was really nice! maybe being out in the world wasn't so bad, after all?
whismur has taken a liking to saga! will saga capture him?
and she manages to strum her fingers along his ear, glad that he was so well received to her touch. if the purrs and humming wasn't a sign, this surely was. saga pulls away and glances into bag, digging through its contents before finding an empty pokeball and holding it out towards the whismur. "would you like to come along, sweetie?" she shakes the ball hopefully, giving him a choice in the matter. owning a pokemon that didn't want to be with her wouldn't be rewarding in the least. her finger rests on the button and presses it in hopes of capturing him before she stands and looks at stratus, who is obviously unimpressed and ready to move onwards.
just as the whismur was captured, a scatterbug jumped out of the brush. haha! so this trainer thought whismur was cute enough to capture? wait until she saw him! he was the cutest bug around, and he knows it. strutting around, he looked up at the trainer and called out with a "Terbug!" to get her attention.
a wild scatterbug has appeared! scatterbug wants to impress saga! what will she do?
