History DarthWiki / TheGuildOfRienna

** Team members include a BondOneLiner Lapras, a Vespiquen who assists by commanding the bugs of the HQ around her, and a Skarmory with an [[CaffeineBulletTime addiction to spicy Pokéblocks]].

** '''Handler''' is a fairly experienced and [[DaChief bossy]] [[TurtlePower Grotle]] that won't back against any threat and who eventually evolves into Torterra. Goes under the name ''Fudoah'' dervived from a word for meadows.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: expected due to the nature of the work, but [[TheBeastMaster Miria]] takes it to the extreme of [[ShrugOfGod me not knowing how many Pokémon does she have]].

** LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Miria has the most Pokémon of the group; [[ShrugOfGod even I haven't decided]] how many are they going to be.

** EverythingsBetterWithCows: '''Miltank''', with "fighting cow" references. And of course ''Scrappy''-

* '''Arlene''': (tentative name) short girl, with waist-long [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue]] hair, age 16. A "wildcard" potential member for the Organization with lots of [[ConfusionFu tricks]] down her sleeve, and is also a respected maid to one of the region's richest families. She is the daughter of an important law enforcement officer and thus has particularly useful data on everything going on, but will be only willing to give it away at a price, and sees her nomination as a potential as a way to [[SpannerInTheWorks rise against]] another member of her family who is plotting against her father.

** IGaveMyWord: why her '''handler''', and her handler's father, and the father's father, and so on, have remained as partners to humans for the duration of the Guild, anf is closely related to the region's history.

** GoLookAtTheDIstraction: Haunter, being a Ghost-type, is fond of this type of strategy. That added with him being ''naughty-natured''...

* CastCalculus: I'll have to do some... right now it's essentially a [[ThreePlusTwo 3+2]], but there will be eventually [[GovernmentAgencyOfFiction the Regional League]], the {{Villain}}s, some adventurers and [[InnocentBystander bystanders]], etc.
* [[spoiler:CheatCode]].

* BruceWayneHeldHostage: one of the lead characters will suffer this, as she is working as a {{Maid}} to an inportant family and her protégée is an important resource for the Organization.

DarthWiki/[[UnpublishedWorks Work-in-progress]] by ''@/SilentReverence'' a.k.a. ''solovino''.

** Team includes a childish Drifloon who is Dreis's starter, as well as a {{Tsundere}} Seadra who won't leave a jacuzzi once she gets inside one even defending her position by ''Hyper-Beaming her trainer''; a HeadPet Masquerain who does not understand city life (eg.: tends to think of semaphores as enemies), a Poliwhirl who can't believe he is allergic to some kind of algae, and a Finneon GenreSavvy enough to understand he is TheLoad of the water group. Dreis has to contend with the weird customs of most of his Pokémon the entire time, and the fact that they definitively ''don't'' like he ogling Miria (one of her partners in the Organization) is no help.

'''The Guild of Rienna''' (tentative title) is a {{Pokemon}} fanfiction that I have currently under development and what I expect will be my most important work for that fandom. Follows the misadventures of a sort-of secret society of young Pokémon trainers, called the ''Guild of Rienna'', who are [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive "tasked"]] to protect a set of ruins and inaccessible locations around the world. However, being a teenager Trainer opting in to college and being a member of a Secret Society are not tasks that can be easily made compatible... and it's even more difficult than it seems because of the secret of the Guild, so obscure that not even its ''founders'' know: the organization is actually [[spoiler:[[ThisIsMyHuman run by the Trainer's Pokémon]], who "[[MoreThanMindControl use]]" their humans to gather resources and "protect what's important"]].

** Team members include starter and (relatively) gentle Ivysaur whose disposition is proportional to the chance of sapping the opponent's health; a Sandlash who joined because of the prospect of Pokéblocks but [[ComeForTheXStayForTheY stayed when he discovered]] ''[[ComeForTheXStayForTheY pasta]]'', a patronizing HeadPet Venomoth, a ChaoticNeutral Scyther who follows him as part of his personal ThanatosGambit, a one-track Beedrill and a Solrock who battles highly defensive and acts LeeroyJenkins everytime there is a photo camera nearby.

** BrownNote: singing like this is one of '''Drifloon''''s abilities. Not really appreciated by ''any'' member or Pokémon in the Organization except for Miria's [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything Electrode]].

** KillerRabbit: '''Nidorino''', specially trained to [[HowMuchMoreCanHeTake Endure Endure Endure]] till he can land a nasty poisonous bite (or worse for [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique both parties]], a [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Horn Drill]]). His constant pushing earns him [[StalkerWithATestTube more than just notice]] by a pretty Nidorina.

* '''Rigel''': tan and muscley young boy from Sinnoh, with blond, spiky hair (not like [[FinalFantasyVII Cloud]]). He used to be TheRival to two trainers from Twinleaf since the three began their journey. With time he outgrew training to dedicate himself to exploration, following the steps of his parents, both of them Sinnoh archaeologists. Although not on a conscious level, he build experience and knowledge to become himself the personal hell of more than one RedundantResearcher. It was after a particular day of leaving a group of researchers in their tent at Turnbout Cave crying (see ''Scaily Competent Tracker'') that he was invited to test himself to the highest degree by tracking and capturing an apparently uncatchable criminal, thus leading him to Sainier and the Organization. Has good physical endurance and minor training in tactical reckon.

The story begins with the members of the secret society, who are mostly girls, facing the logistic problems that come with handling a secret organization that, albeit the good guys, will face friendly fire from the G-Men and the Pokémon Rangers. Thus, a [[ManBehindTheman shadowly]] [[RightHandCat Pokemon advisor]] sets up events in order to recruit [[strike:[[YaoiFangirls young, hot male]]]] Trainers to the cause. The Leader, a BlackCloak ActionGirl, assigns her most talented follower, Sainier, to test potential recruits, which she does by [[LetsYouAndHimFight manipulating Gym Leader matches]] as well as the Trainer marketplace. Pretending to be a criminal mastermind, she sets up a series of "heists" which the candidates must prevent, and then she challenges the two best candidates to a [[WhereInTheWorldIsCarmenSandiego "find-me final heist"]] to see if they are really worthy [[TheConspiracy and willing]]. In the meanwhile and without her knowledge, her Pokémon are evaluating the young trainers as well, although looking for a different set of qualities.

* DressCodedForYourConvenience + ColourMotif: the Guild's cloth, with details and ornaments corresponding to their "handler Pokemon". Sainier's, for example, has a green headpiece and brown sleeves just like a Tropius.

* EsperantoTheUniversalLanguage: I'll have this somewhat implied, and work around it, but I'll keep it on check so that it doesn't become something cumbersome. Maybe used as BilingualBonus. The entire work ''may'' eventually be translated into the language as I relearn it.

* '''Arlene''': (tentative name) short girl, with waist-long [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue]] hair, age 16. A "wildcard" potential member for the Organization with lots of [[ConfusionFu tricks]] down her sleeve, and is also a respected maid to one of the region's richest families. She is the daughter of an important law enforcement officer and thus has particularly useful data on everything going on, but will be only willing to give it away at a price, and sees her nomination as a potential as a way to [[SpannerInTheWorks rise against]] a XanatosGambit another member of her family is planning against her father.

** CircleOfExtinction: a particular technique he can pull with the assistance of all his Ghost-type Pokémon boils down to a ''BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind'' version of ''Beat Up'' using this.

** KillerRabbit: '''Nidorino''', specially trained to [[HowMuchMoreCanHeTake Endure Endure Endure]] till he can land a nasty poisonous bite (or worse for [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique both parties]], a [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Horn Drill]]).

'''The Guild of Rienna''' (tentative title) is a {{Pokemon}} fanfiction that I have currently under development and what I expect will be my most important work for that fandom. Follows the misadventures of a sort-of secret society of young Pokmon trainers, called the ''Guild of Rienna'', who are [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive "tasked"]] to protect a set of ruins and inaccessible locations around the world. However, being a teenager Trainer opting in to college and being a member of a Secret Society are not tasks that can be easily made compatible... and it's even more difficult than it seems because of the secret of the Guild, so obscure that not even its ''founders'' know: the organization is actually [[spoiler:[[ThisIsMyHuman run by the Trainer's Pokemon]], who "[[MoreThanMindControl use]]" their humans to gather resources and "protect what's important"]].

The story begins with the members of the secret society, who are mostly girls, facing the logistic problems that come with handling a secret organization that, albeit the good guys, will face friendly fire from the G-Men and the Pokemon Rangers. Thus, a [[ManBehindTheman shadowly]] [[RightHandCat Pokemon advisor]] sets up events in order to recruit [[strike:[[YaoiFangirls young, hot male]]]] Trainers to the cause. The Leader, a BlackCloak ActionGirl, assigns her most talented follower, Sainier, to test potential recruits, which she does by [[LetsYouAndHimFight manipulating Gym Leader matches]] as well as the Trainer marketplace.

In the meanwhile and without her knowledge, her Pokemon are evaluating the young trainers as well, although looking for a different set of qualities.

With the heists so well planned that a sort of urban legend was born, several thugs were trying to replicate the criminal feats, leaving the new members of the Guild to set all that mess right while the senior ones deal with more important cases. In the midst of the confusion and the P.P.R.R hell, a shadowy character escapes with an [[ArtifactOfDoom important package of scientific data]] and sets up a chain of events that endangers not only the ruins that the Guild is supposed to protect, but also the delicate balance that exists in the order of things that are allowed to exist (or, more precisely, [[spoiler:to be created]]). The Pokemon who run the organization won't have any of this, so they [[LetsGetDangerous pull themselves a bit too far]] with their humans having to catch up.

*AcademyOfAdventure: Dreis' college.

*AuthenticationByNewspaper will be the method to identify the characters as members of the Organization once its existence becomes public.

*BruceWayneHeldHostage: one of the lead characters will suffer this.
*CanonImmigrant: of sorts... not the characters, but the ''moves'', since I plan to study and incorporate moves from the Trading Card Game to develop the Pokemon movesets.

*ContractOnTheHitman.
*[[spoiler:DogWalksYou, ThisIsMyHuman]]: the reason-behind-the-reason behind the existence of the Guild, although it gets actually ''simpler'' than that.

*FightingForAHomeland.
*GeniusLoci: the "headquarters" of the Guild is a giant forest-like macroorganism inside a crater, that [[SealedGoodInACan works like a container to a greater sentience]]. Think Movie 8's "Tree of Beginning", but it lacks a Mew and [[spoiler:it was not naturally created]].

*LimitBreak: I'll have some attacks work like this. Not at the level of ''Final Fantasy'' games, mind you, but still in a way that is not as simple as "press A to spam move" as in the games. Candidate moves are Earthquake, Fury Cutter and [[NightmareFuel Dream Eater]].

*PetHeir: one of the Pokémon characters has actually inherited the ''flower shop'' that his human Trainer has to handle. And that's to say nothing of the Leader's handler, who interits a particularly abstract kind of heirloom.
*PowerTrio: since six Pokemon times (at least) seven characters would be difficult and '''boring''' to handle for battles and plot, I'll have each character focus in a specialized three-member team, which they can switch at a Pokemon Center.

*'''The "Leader"''': a shadowy figure who handles most of the Guild's logistics and resources and is known to have flirted with a Gym Leader.
**'''Handler''' is ???? (''sorry, won't reveal '''that''' yet'')
**Other members of the Team include a [[DragonRider Salamence]] who enjoys [[MacrossMissileMassacre basting opponents down the sky]] and a [[TheBrute vicious Zangoose]] with a dirty-soft spot for Kirlias.

**MysteriousInformant: the way she works for most of the story is by appearing out of nowhere and handing instructions to her subordinates, who are ''assumed'' to know her identity but the audience does not.
**IGaveMyWord: why her '''handler''', and her handler's father, and the father's father, and so on, have remained as partners to humans for the duration of the Guild.

*'''Sainier''': a 23-year old female trainer from Hoenn who specializes in [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill going over the board to defeat her opponents]].
**'''Handler''' is a somewhat-CloudCuckooLander Tropius that she caught under [[NoodleIncident never explained circumstances]] and whose job description is "''pass messages to other Pokémon and [[StepfordSmiler beamsmile at them]]''". He also serves as her ride on ocassion.

**RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude: Sainier's mission in the first part is to do this; part of the goal is to strengthen the skill pool of the group.

**EverythingsBetterWithCows: '''Miltank'''.
**BrilliantButLazy: '''Tropius''', who if given the chance won't fight even ''once''.

*'''Dreis''': a 20-year-old Water and Ghost type specialist who has taken part of several sea-related championships, and sportsman sophomore. Also the [[ChewToy poor subject]] for my romance experiments, together with the next member.
**'''Handler''' is a naughty Haunter who is seeking for a way to evolve without trading.
**Team includes a childish Drifloon who is Dreis's starter, as well as a {{Tsundere}} Seadra who won't leave a jacuzzi once she gets inside one even defending her position by ''Hyper-Beaming her trainer'', a HeadPet Masquerain who does not understand city life, a Poliwhirl who can't believe he is allergic to some kind of algae, and a Finneon GenreSavvy enough to understand he is TheLoad of the water group. Dreis has to contend with the weird customs of most of his Pokémon the entire time, and the fact that they definitively ''don't'' like he ogling Miria is no help.
**Checkov'sSkill: His Pokémon are masters of these, and a strong point in his battle abilities is that most of his Pokémon know TM techniques.

**CircleOfExtinction: a particular technique he can pull with the assistance of all his Ghost-type Pokémon boils down to a version of ''Beat Up'' using this.

**OnlyOneName: he has only one legal name, characteristic that is actually normal in the tribe he comes from.

**BrownNote: this is one of '''Drifloon''''s abilities. Not really appreciated by ''any'' member or Pokémon in the Organization except for Miria's Electrode.

*'''Miria''': a 21-year-old "hero-type" girl loosely based on the Ace class, Hoenn-born, with tactics and battle experience that can rival even the hardest Gym Leaders of her region. In her spare time she maintains a [[InnocentFlowerGirl flower shop]] that was (is) her mother's and functions as a part-time [[strike:drugs]] Vitamins backtrade post. Unlike most other members, she has martial arts training as well as short expertise in tasers and self-defense, not that she needs it.
**'''Handler''' is her starter, Blaziken who [[RedEyesTakeWarning loves going a-Blaze]] and is more than a [[InterspeciesRomance bit jealous]] on Dreis's advances on his trainer.
**Team includes a BunnyEarsLawyer Marowak who lampshades flying-type immunity to ''Bonemerang'', a Gligar who is particularly afraid of new places, a Kavorka Spheal who thinks of himself as the dramatic relief, and an Electrode who won't show even a bit of his personality because he thinks Marowak is out to eat his soul.
**BackToBackBadasses: training [[TrainingInHell a lot]] and enjoying their mutual company, Blaziken and Marowak don't have much trouble when fighting without human assistance or together against all sorts of odds, up to and including being surrounded by a Manectric pack assisted by Water-Pulsing Swellows.

**IncorruptiblePurePureness: this is how Dreis sees her. He is ''dead wrong'' considering the thinks she had to do for her family to keep the flower shop.

**[[NoNameGiven No Family Name Given]]. ''Ever''.

*'''Arlene''': (tentative name) short, with waist-long [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue]] hair, age 16. A "wildcard" potential member for the organization with lots of [[SchroedingerFu tricks]] down her sleeve, and is also a respected maid to one of the region's richest families. She is the daughter of an important law enforcement officer and thus has particularly useful data on everything going on, but will be only willing to give it away at a price, and sees her nomination as a potential as a way to [[SpannerInTheWorks rise against]] a XanatosGambit another member of her family is planning against her father.
**'''Handler''' is a Ditto who doesnt care what the hell is going around himself (admittedly, he won't even care ''about himself'').
**Team members include a BondOneLiner Lapras, a Vespiquen, and a Skarmory with an [[CaffeineBulletTime addiction to spicy Pokéblocks]].

**EnemyScan: the only member of the Organization to carry a Pokédex.

*'''Rigel''': tan and muscley young boy from Sinnoh, with blond, spiky hair (not like [[FinalFantasyVII Cloud]]). He used to be TheRival to two trainers from Twinleaf until he outgrew training and dedicated himself to make the lives of {{RedundantResearcher}}s their [[PersonalRainCloud personal hell]] (not exactly intentionally). He is selected as a potential due to his ability to gather information and track people and Pokémon alike. Has good physical endurance and minor training in tactical reckon.

**Team members include a [[TheStoic stoic]] ChivalrousPervert Luxray who takes to heart being nice to even the everpresent Steel-type {{Tsundere}}s (he loves risk that much), and that's it [[AmazonBrigade for males]] -- the rest is a wide assortment of female Pokémon: a TeamMom Staravia who picked the habit after outgrowing her being the HeadPet and who struggles to keep the other personalities in the team at bay, a [[CutenessProximity beautifully]] [[LightningBruiser dangerous]] Gyarados who won't take lightly to a Wurmple looking at her funny but won't miss a chance to have her trainer tidy her scales, a Dustox, Frosslass and Kricketune who have fun ''molesting'' the male members of the team, a workaholic Graveler and a Natu that Rigel is trying to [[KickTheDog get rid of]] because he can't [[JiveTurkey understand her]].

**ScarilyCompetentTracker: one of the reasons, and the most important for the Pokémon, why he is considered a potential recruit is that the rumor says he and his Rival were once able to track [[spoiler:Giratina]].
**YouGotMurder: his first test is to locate the target ''but not to prevent it''.

**TurtleIsland: once Grotle evolves into Torterra he becomes a [[strike:human]] Pokémon shield for his trainer as well the rest of the team, an essentially unpassable wall who enjoys to Leaf Storm opponents to oblivion, and actually a WorthyOpponent for the Leader's Salamence.

*'''Lou''': a tall, slender boy aged 16 whose brown hair is laced with strands of gray and who excels at GeoEffects. This Trainer likes to observe Pokémon colonies and used to be the MysteriousProtector of his village after his homeland was hit by a terrible earthquake. He is selected as a potential due to his ability to draw opponents out of hiding and expose their weaknesses.
**'''Handler''' is a TooKinkyToTorture Nidorino who despises the other handlers for being fully evolved (and getting along only with Haunter).

**{{Kuudere}}, his masking of emotions comes the emotional weight he went through when he became a mysterious protector (see below).
**MysteriousProtector: he was student of an institute. When an earthquake hit the continent, he and other students defected and dedicated themselves as protectors of their villages for a couple of years.

**KillerRabbit: '''Nidorino''', specially trained to [[HowMuchMoreCanHeTake Endure Endure Endure]] till he can land a nasty poisonous bite (or worse for [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique both parties]], a [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Horn Drill]]).
**PersonalRainCloud: Venomoth sometimes functions the converse of this, in the sense that she will Sleep Powder- or Stun Spore- ing her trainer ''because'' he is tired or his mood is decaying.
