Pokemon (Camper Barry Story)

Janine is a vampire and gave Barry immortality...and injected sunscreen directly into his bloodstream.

WUT

Uh...

Can somebody write a chapter? So we can get back on track?

We're going to have a prologue chapter before Brock's, of course. We'll all collaborate together for that one.

I'm not good at Prologues and this path seems to confuse me for now, so I'll observe a bit till I contribute.

We'll save the prologue for later. Do you have any ideas for Barry's meetings with any of the Gym Leaders?

Not off the bat, we do know the basic scenarios for most if not all the Gym Leaders though.

I was kidding about the vampire thing. I'll see if I can write something up by tomorrow. :)

I'll be back on Thursday, PM me if you absolutely need me.

I shall brainstorm.

Here's a backstory segment.

"Wahaha! You betcha; I'm Janine!" the Gym Leader laughed before twirling in a circle, her clothing flying into the air.

"Whoa whoa!" the challenger squeaked, covering his eyes. "What kind of Gym is this!?"

"Shut up!" a petulant voice whined. The trainer peeked, noticing something odd about the voice. Instead of a naked teenage girl, there was a ten-year-old boy wearing camping gear. He was standing on some kind of comical looking platform shoes, more than likely used to reach Janine's height, and the hair on his head was somewhat lop-sided from his spinning. Definitely a wig.

"Eh...you're a boy?"

"So? What's wrong with a boy dressing up like Janine?" the camper groused.

A lot of things, the trainer thought to himself. "Umm...are ALL the trainers here boys?"

"Nope!" piped up one of the Janines.

"Barry's the only one!" said another.

"He's special!" the last one added.

The three erupted into fits of giggling, Barry smiling in triumph. "See, I'm special?"

Skipping a little more dialogue.

"You're happy here, right Barry?" Janine asked with a grin.

"You bet! I'll never quit! I want to stay here forever!"

(Five years later)

"I quit!" a fifteen-year-old Barry growled. "I'm getting out of here NOW!"

It makes Janine more sympathetic, at least.

Well, what I had in mind was this:

Janine isn't all "Muahahahaha, crossdress for my amusement!" at first. She lets Barry have fun with it at first since he likes doing it. After a while though, the girls start to tease him about it (good-natured teasing). Combined with the comments from challengers, Barry starts to feel emasculated and wants to quit since he's built up a reputation as "that one crossdresser from Fuchsia".

So Janine tries to bring him back in several over-the-top fashions that only cause him to try to run away more.

I think we have to get an idea of Janine's character and Barry's motivations (Along with the ending) before anything. We seem to all disagree on those things, we should iron out those ideas now.

Very well. :D

OK, first off, the ending seems to be the most confusing, IMO. Should we have him go home as it would be the lesser of Forty evils? Or, should he be kidnapped?

Personally, I wanted a touching ending where Janine and Barry reconcile and he willingly goes back home and does the cross-dressing thing, just without the teasing.

Then there's an epilogue where Koga comes by for a visit and mistakes him as Janine and he dies a little inside while Janine laughs her ass off.

I agree, but there should be opinions from others before we decide on it.

Oh, I know. I was just throwing in my two cents. ^^

I didn't want Janine to be a sympathetic character... nor did I intend a touching ending.

...The original ideas we had come up with back at the start were that she was basically an over-the-top villain.

Well, that was just how I saw it going. I'm open to change. :3

I think I came in late. Where did this thing start?

The Pokemon General board.

No, which post?

Eh? I don't understand what you mean. When the discussion began?
