any rules. I've read several fics in preparation for this, so it should be
OK :-)

Karl in Violet City
by Steffan
Karl Weiser sat down in Violet City's Poké Center. He'd had a tiring day.
He took his three Pokéballs off his belt, looking them over.
The first one was Iceduck. He'd used it to battle several trainers on the
way to Violet City and was getting to be quite strong. Its only real
attacks were Confusion and Ice Beam, which Karl realised wouldn't be enough
to beat every Pokémon Gym. He didn't care, though - he was quite content to
study Pokémon moves. That was what really interested him. He had a
notebook in which he wrote down any moves he discovered using his Pokédex.
He took his second Pokéball, and freed the Pokémon inside. It was Nomak,
his Farfetch'd - this Pokémon was his favourite. Nomak was his childhood
pet, and Karl had never personally used it to battle. Karl's father
occasionally took it with him for protection when he travelled to the nearby
cities, but there weren't many strong Pokémon near Cherrygrove City.
The final Pokéball contained an Unown nicknamed Ess - a strange Pokémon
which Karl had caught in the Ruins of Alph. It only knew one move, which
was Hidden Power. Karl wanted to test this move as soon as possible, but
first he needed to heal it. Iceduck's Confusion attack didn't do much
damage, but it still needed attention. Karl wondered what type of Pokemon
it was - it was resistant to Psychic attacks, anyway.
"Next, please," called Nurse Joy from the counter. Karl gave her his three
Pokémon.
He decided to save a few Pokéballs for later, and stored them in his PC
account. Checking how much money he had, he started walking towards the
Poké Mart. He saw Earl's Pokémon Accademy nearby, but decided to try and
win a Gym badge first.
"Good afternoon," Karl called to the shopkeeper.
"Hi again," he replied, remembering Karl buying some Pokéballs earlier that
day. "What'll it be this time?"
"I'd like to buy some Potions," said Karl. "I think I'm ready to take on
Falkner."
"Right you are," replied the shopkeeper, opening a new crate of Potions. An
elderly man queued behind Karl.
"Think you're ready to beat Falkner, do you?" the elderly man asked. "May I
ask what Pokemon you have?"
"Of course," answered Karl. "A Psyduck, a Farfetch'd and an Unown."
"Quite a good selection," replied the man. "None of them are weak to
Falkner's attacks, but you'll still need to battle hard. None of them have
an advantage against his birds, unless Unown's Hidden Power is."
"I know Electric is good against flying," said Karl. "I was considering
catching a Mareep for the battle, but I doubt I'd want one on my team in the
long run. I don't have much money, and I can't afford to waste Pokéballs on
one-time-only Pokémon. It doesn't learn any unique attacks, and I'm sure
there are many better Electric types out there."
"You know best," said the man. "Just be careful."
"I will," said Karl. "I'll just have to settle for Iceduck's Ice Beam..."

TBC?
I take it that now someone jst continues th story, possibly introducing more
characters :-) If anyone wants to write about the Gym battle, feel free to
(as long as you make sure Karl gets a TM if he wins).

Ah...not quite. You have to have your character interact with others.
Go ahead and write the battle, then have Karl meet one of the groups
heading towards Azalea.

I'll elaborate on what Adrian said. You write for your own character. No one else
should write major events for your character (such as winning a Gym match) - that
should be something you do (unless you convince someone else to). You can interact
with and tag along with different characters, and while doing so, write them into
your PW! posts, but the Pokewars! is not about different authors taking turns
writing about your character's adventures and filling them with NPCs and such. I
think you should observe some PW! posts where characters are interacting and watch
how they tend to focus on the author's character's point of view.

Thanks, both of you :-) I'll read some of the stories at kruton.org

Ok, today was a good day
I didn't even have to use my a.k.
at least I didn't get my heart broken anyway
wasting time in east new jersey.
guess I could tell you 'bout
the snow covered rooftops,
sunsets, shooting stars and picturesque backdrops.
or how I went and hung out at quick-stop
and pretended that I was in clerks.
sometimes you gotta stop and remember
that your not gonna live forever.
be young, think smart, stay true
and just follow your heart.
remember the times we watched "karate kid"
and memorized every line
skipped school and went to the arcade
hung out and played galaga all day.
stole a car and we drove to michigan.
600 miles with no destination.
except to get in the car and drive
and see where we'll end up
sometimes you gotta stop and remember.
that your not gonna be young forever.
think smart, have fun, stay true
and don't ever grow up.
out of all I've learned in life
you always keep your friends close to your heart.
'cause who will help you if you're falling down.
and everything is o.k.
