No one's exactly sure where it came from, if it was natural or man-made, or how long it had existed. All anyone knows now is that everything's changed.

Things started out relatively normal; a winter sickness outbreak in Kanto, the same type of thing that happened every year. However, this wasn't a regular flu; soon, reports were coming in that the infected seemed mindless and displayed erratic behavior, to the point of lashing out at others. That may have been why it began to spread.

As self-proclaimed doomsday prophets stated they were correct... that this was the so-called "zombie apocalypse" they'd waited for... the rest of the world, little by little, were forced to admit they were right. Soon, the epidemic had spread to every region, leaving only a small percentage in each left healthy, whether through natural immunity or sheer luck. The Pokemon Leagues fell as the gym leaders and Elite Four members were either infected or forced to abandon their positions. And soon enough, wild Pokemon began to suffer from the disease as well.

Still, though... life, as much as it's changed to a fight for survival, goes on.

----------
RULES:
-No godmodding. I feel like this should go without saying.
-No explicit sex scenes.
-Your characters aren't going to be able to just mow down hordes of zeds. The name of the game here is survival. This is more DayZ than Left 4 Dead.
-That being said, there are no limits to violence. This applies to language, too, but please refrain from Cluster F-Bombs.
-Please limit your starting weapons to handguns, lower-class melee weapons, and maybe a bolt-action rifle. No shotguns or assault rifles right off the bat.
-Zeds are resistant to many Pokemon attacks, so try not to rely on your character's mons too much.
-Lastly, you can have a maximum of three characters. You can use canon characters.

Name: Winona Byrd
Age: 25
Orientation: Bisexual
Starting Location: Route 113, Hoenn
Appearance: 5'8", lavender eyes, long lavender hair fashioned into winglike tufts on her head, pale skin, athletic build.
Outfit: White undershirt, light blue track jacket, white jeans, white socks, light blue sneakers.
Personality: Has a very serious approach to the whole situation, and easily becomes irked when someone treats it like a game. That being said, she's quite compassionate, and cares deeply about her friends and allies.
Background: Prior to the outbreak, Winona was the gym leader of Fortree, and was actually named Drake's successor in the Hoenn Elite Four. Unfortunately, that never came to pass, and she teamed up with close friend Flannery to survive.
Starting Weapons: Lee-Enfield rifle, Nagant M1895 revolver
Pokemon Team: Altaria, Staraptor, Skarmory, Dragonite, Honchkrow, Togekiss
Other: Traveling with Flannery.

Name: Flannery Moore
Age: 23
Orientation: Pansexual
Starting Location: Route 113, Hoenn
Appearance: 5'7", red eyes, red hair fashioned into a style resembling an erupting volcano, slightly tanned skin, standard build with a larger-than-average bust, a few Razor Leaf scars along her body.
Outfit: Red crop top with an orange flame design, black sleeveless leather vest, baggy jeans, black-and-red sneakers, black fingerless leather gloves.
Personality: You have to give Flannery credit for trying to remain her upbeat self throughout the crisis, but this facade can easily crumble. She's quite unstable deep down, and thanks to her ever-worsening pyromania, she occasionally lashes out.
Background: Flannery used to be the gym leader of Lavaridge, and like Winona, was forced to abandon her post once the outbreak became too much. Aside from that, between the death of her parents just before her tenth birthday and everything she had to deal with during the Magma-Aqua Crisis, it hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows for Ms. Moore.
Starting Weapons: Ruger LC9 pistol, fire axe
Pokemon Team: Torkoal, Ninetales, Magcargo, Camerupt, Houndoom, Talonflame
Other: Traveling with Winona.
 
I'm in, just not sure on the starting location, suggestions OP?

Name: Corey Buetell
Age: 23
Orientation: Straight
Starting Location:
Appearance: 5' 10", approx. 180 lbs. He has short brown hair and cold brown eyes. Corey is toned, but not tremendously muscular, and has shrapnel scars riddling the right side of his body.
Outfit: A black zip-up hoodie with a gray t-shirt underneath, black SOG backpack, blue jeans and brown combat boots.
Personality: Corey is fairly quiet and serious, most would call him an asshole. He likes to think of himself as a realist. In this world, no one lasts long so forming attachments isn't very logical. Deep down he wants some sort of companionship, but let downs in the past make him turn briskly away from that idea.
Background: As a former police officer, Corey has a good understanding of firearms and basic combat techniques. After his police department was overrun by a horde he set out and started surviving on his own.
Starting Weapons: Sig Sauer P229 Elite and extending truncheon
Pokemon Team: Arcanine, Pidgeot, Lucario and Luxray

@Stitsworth - accepted! I'm getting a bit of a Unova vibe from Corey, so perhaps Route 4?
 
So, we ARE using the Z-word?
Name: Shaun Pegg
Age: 29
Orientation: Homosexual
Starting Location: Jubilife City, Sinnoh
Appearance: Shaun is generally unremarkable, 5''6, 62 Kg, average build. Dark hair kept close cropped, brown eyes.
Outfit: Cargo pants, a black shirt with an olive green jacket over the top, black sneakers.
Personality: Shaun has a large heart and attempts to protect anyone he can, which lead to the two young Pokemon he has with him. His own life and Pokemon however will take priority. He'll recognise those that he can't save and instead shoot them down if possible, so that they don't turn. He doesn't know if people stay aware after they turn, but knows that he wouldn't want to, which leads to his trying to same others from that fate.
Background: Born in Unova, moved to Sinnoh 5 years ago.
Starting Weapons: Sledgehammer, Colt Combat Elite
Pokemon Team: Excadrill, Gigalith, Staraptor, Electabuzz, Buizel, Aipom
Name: Roark Azuma
Age: 24
Orientation: Heterosexual
Starting Location: Oreburgh City, Sinnoh
140px-Diamond_Pearl_Roark.png
Personality: Once relatively upbeat and excitable, Roark has become bitter and isolated after the loss of his father. He's very protective of the Pokemon in the Gym. He's not sure how far Zombies will travel from where they were turned, but he dreads the possibility of ever seeing his father again and facing the past.
Background: Previously the Gym Leader of Oreburgh City, that all went to hell when the outbreak started though. His father Byron insisted that Roark come to Canalave City once word of the outbreak reached him. Inevitably, Canalave was attacked, After fighting their way through a horde and into the safety of a building, Byron revealed that he had been bitten, forced his Pokeballs and shovel into Roark's arms, and pleaded that his son kill him before he turned. Roark however couldn't bring himself to kill his father, and fled the city with Byron's Pokemon and shovel. While trying to decide what to do next, Roark realised that the mountain walls of Oreburgh City formed an effective natural fortification, and decided that his best chance for survival would be to take advantage of this. After returning and finding it surprisingly empty, he used his Pokemon to collapse the Oreburgh Gate, leaving the City all but unreachable from most directions, using the Gym as a base and constructing fortifications at the one remaining entrance from Route 207.
Starting Weapons: Shovel, .357 IMI Desert Eagle
Pokemon Team: Rampardos, Golem, Areodactyl, Bastiodon, Skarmory, Aggron
 
@Kirby4ever - of course! I mean, I pretty much did that with Winona and Flannery.
 
Name: Max
Age: 27
Orientation: Married
Starting Location: Turminus cave, Kalos
Appearance: Max has neat Oxford blue hair made to make him look more professional, and has brown eyes.
Outfit: He wears a green button down shirt with a white collar that is tucked into his black pants. Max also wears white a lab coat with pockets on it, and has thick black glasses on. Max also has a back pack that has supplies he needs along with Pokemon resurching supplies that he can carry for whenever he needs them.
Personality: Ever since Max traveled with Ash, May, and Brock when he was 8 years old, he had matured over time. He enjoyed and love learning about all kinds of Pokemon and research them. Ever since he joined the Legendary Pokemon Agency, Max found that he can be quite protective of Legendary Pokemon when someone is after them for anything that can hurt them and everyone else.
Background: Ever since he met Jirachi and Deoxis, Max started to become friends with other legendary Pokemon during his travels that he started at the age of 10. When Max is 11 years old he meets Bonnie for the very first time in Unova when he helped her rescue Dedenne from a wild Sandile, and since then the two traveled and hang out together on their adventures. When Max became 15 years old, he went to Kanto to be Professor Oak's apprentice since he's going to retire someday and felt that Max would do great, and liked how Max always wants to learn about Pokemon and wants to study them humanly, especially when it comes to legendary Pokemon, since inhuman studying done by terrorist organizations in the past is becoming very controversial. Once Max finished his apprenticeship 5 years later, Max finally joined the Legendary Pokemon Agency since Ash, Bonnie, Brock, and May had been telling him to join. It wasn't until a year later Max and Bonnie got married and 4 years later, they had their first child Jake. When the outbreak started, Bonnie became very worried about Zygarde since the Zygarde cores are small vulnerable, Max and Bonnie went to Turminus cave in Kalos along with Jake and the things they need to check on Zygarde. Max soon got himself a hand gun being given by someone handing them out.
Starting Weapons: Hand gun
Pokemon Team: Gallade and Vaporeon
Other: Since Max is a member of the Legendary Pokemon Agency, he gets to research and study Legendary Pokemon more closely them most researchers and other Pokemon professors are able to. He even started making a book taking about making friends with Legendary Pokemon and about giving them respect, and warning signs of certain things that you want to stay away from whenever they get upset. The book even talks about why electric type legendary Pokemon randomly create storms sometimes.
Name: Bonnie
Age: 27
Orientation: Married
Starting Location: Turminus cave, Kalos
Appearance: Bonnie has blond hair that is braided on the front and healed by a hair clip, and the braid continues a bit on the side. The rest of her hair is medium length at her shoulders, and has blue eyes.
Outfit: Bonnie is wearing a very light orange t-shirt with badge color shorts that goes a little bit pass her knees. She has a light pink jacket that has a front pocket that Dedenne likes to be in whenever Bonnie is wearing it. In her hair is a golden yellow air clip that she always likes to wear.
Personality: Ever since Bonnie traveled with Ash, Serena, and Clemont when she was 8 years old, she had matured a lot and learned to be gentle with small Pokemon as they don't liked to be hugged tightly. Bonnie is normally cheerful and happy, but tends to tear up when she gets very worried about those she really cares about, and wants to protect them from danger when something bad happens to them. Bonnie has been known to be very protective of Zygarde ever since the Team Flare incident that not only harmed Zygarde, but caused very serious damaged to Lumiose City where many were killed and injured, and businesses were destroyed. Bonnie enjoys taking care of Pokemon and likes to keep them happy.
Background: Ever since Lumiose City had nearly been destroyed by Team Flare when she was 8 years old, Bonnie had developed a bond and became friends with Zygarde even though she only took care one of the cores for months. Bonnie and her femily had to be relo0cated as their apartment gets repaired and Prism Tower gets rebuilt because it got so much damage that it's beyond repair. When she turned 10 years old, Bonnie went off for her adventure to join contests around Kalos because she likes that there's where she can show off her Pokemon's moves and there's a battle. Lumiose City and the Pokemon league stadium had finally been fully rebuilt at this time, and there's a bran new contest hall. Even though she wasn't able to get all 5 ribbons in time, Bonnie went to Unova to try contests there where she soon met Max. Both Max and Bonnie hang out and travel together as they started to like each other more, and talked about different legendary Pokemon they met. At 15, when Max went to Professor Oak's, Bonnie went to school to learn how to run a Pokemon day care service. After finishing the school at 19 years old, Bonnie went to Max to see how he's doing and they made plans to have a house and a Pokemon day care center close to the lab where everyone can benefit this kind of set up. Bonnie soon joined the Legendary Pokemon Agency, and people have to go and ask Bonnie if they want to research Zygarde. At the age of 21 they got married and 4 years later they had their first child Jake. When the outbreak started, Bonnie told Max that she's getting concerned for Zygarde's safety since the Zygarde cores are small and can get injured if something were happened. She, Max, and Jake went to Turminus cave to check on Zygarde, Bonnie was glad to see all of the cores are in the cave, but knows that they're not safe by themselves, but she has a little bag that she can carry all 5 of the Zygarde cores in.
Starting Weapons: Crow bar that was found in the cave.
Pokemon Team: Dedenne, Cinccino, and Inkay
Other: Bonnie is one of the few humans that Zygarde trusts very well. Bonnie became friends with many Legendary Pokemon
Name: Jake
Age: 2 years old
Orientation: N/A
Starting Location: Turminus cave, Kalos
Appearance: Jake has blond hair that will darken when he gets older, and has blue eyes.
Outfit: White long sleeve shirt with Mimmiku printed all over the shirt, blue overalls with pockets, and black shoes
Personality: Jake is a typical toddler, but doesn't cry often. He's normally smiley and happy unless he gets scared. He enjoys playing with toys and Pokemon.
Background: He was born in born and growing up in a quiet town called Pallet town. Ever since he was 6 months old, Bonnie had Jake meet Zygarde for the first time, even though Zygarde wasn't used to babies at first until he got used to him. When the outbreak had started, Bonnie had to close down the Pokemon day care service until further notice and to keep him safe. He doesn't understand why they have to get away from home.
Starting Weapons: Nothing but maybe a random stick
Pokemon Team: None
Other: It took a while for Zygarde to get used to Jake after learning that Jake is gentle for his age.
 
@Jersey Jimmy are you continuing the RP? Both me and Stitsworth have characters that are sleeping because it's night in Unova and Kalos because they're on the other side of the world from the other characters in Hoenn and Sinnoh.
