Anxiety Trials is a Pokemon Special sandbox RP. We are a friendly, no-fuss site where you don't have to worry about posting 24/7, but when you've got the muse. We are based loosely around the Pokemon Special/Adventures manga, though set in a slightly alternate universe. If you're looking for a fun place to explore what life with Pokemon would be like, hopefully we're the place for you!

Ruby usually is easy to make friends with when his new friend shares the same interests as himself. As for those who don't share his interests, well, there are other ways to gain his favor...maybe.
ENEMIES
If you don't agree with his values, it's easy to make enemies with him~ Otherwise, if you're a villain or try to hurt his friends, he generally won't like you... Due to his picky, sensitive nature, Ruby tends to make plenty of enemies with the people he meets. Even if they don't acknowledge the enemyship.
LOVERS
Ruby still holds feelings for his rival, Sapphire, but their relationship continues to fill with complications. Ruby as of now doesn't know of Sapphire's whereabouts.

so I read in Ruby's bio that since disasters started, Ruby has been here and there across the pokemon world. This actually may have given them the chance to cross paths when they both spent time outside of their respective regions. After curbstomping Plasma, Hugh left without a word to Kyouhei and Mei these two seem to suck at informing their friends about where they go to train both himself and his pokemon in Sinnoh, and he was there for a while. If Ruby's been to Sinnoh, it would be pretty cool if they met there. Mind you, Hugh started at the southern end of the Coronet Mountain range and physically climbed his way from the foot of the mountain to the peak of it, then did the same until he got to the peak of each mountain in that range sooooo he didn't go outside of the mountains. If Ruby has been to the Coronet Range, I might have an idea of how they could meet.
what a hobo
Or, alternatively, if Ruby hasn't been to Unova yet Hugh could be the first person he meets there. We could probably think of something for their meeting here too ^^ It's likely Hugh would recognize Ruby from what he's read/seen in the news about him as one of his senior Dex Holders[/style] [STYLE=font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: -1; font-family: orator std;]made by jaykah of gs[/style]
Well anyway, yeah, Ruby's kind of been here and there, but not that uber quickly xD Starting from Hoenn, he would have first gone to the closer regions, like Johto, where his hometown was, and then onto Kanto, after being depressed over the destruction of Johto. So by now, I'd say that he's just about arrived in Kanto and begun searching around for clues to the Knights of Arceus and those guys.
Either that, or he could have just taken a boat or plane or something to get to Sinnoh. He's got no flying pokemon to do much aerial transport ^^; and being the hobo that he is, He's probably not got much funds for travel either. Contests win you ribbons... Battles win you money xD
I could be wrong, but well, maybe being a top coordinator in Hoenn has gotten him enough funds to take a plane to Sinnoh. Although, looking at the recent plot update, I would wonder if he would be checking out vermilion city... I'm pretty much open for anything lol
And yay I made a plot thing out of this template! ^^

I actually think that a boat would be the greatest potential for transport to Sinnoh. actually a bit contrary to your thoughts, my headcanon is the higher in the contest world you go = the more people willing to throw money at you to have you and your pokemon look pretty for pictures when youre not competing, kind of like with acting and modeling. more well-known and successful you get = six-figure salaries on the way. /SHOT
either way, terribly enough Hugh's never been to Johto or Hoenn, and he only just went to Kanto for the first time to the squashed Viridian looking for Green.
I also failed to mention - if we worked out a way to see if you could put Ruby in Sinnoh for some time in his history, it would have been more of a flashback-y thread rather than a present day one.
And I actually just got an idea...ish...as to why Ruby could have traveled to Sinnoh for a brief time in looking for a way to stop the disasters and everything, but maybe heard about the contests they have there and sort of decided he could check those out after he did his share of investigating to satisfy his inner Coordinator curiosity? I imagine he would have been dropped off in Canalave's port and you have to cross over some of the Coronet mountains to get to Hearthome so maybe that could happen?
If not, I dont think they would have encountered each other at all in the past, and in the present Hugh's actually on a quest to try to round up his senior Dex Holders and tell them what he knows about the Knights so far - he got some information from Mei after he saved her from being kidnapped, so he'd probably be hunting Ruby down at some point to see if he had any sort of input/offer to help.
and yay! I love that feeling when you take a plot template and manage to make a plot reply post out of it xD[/style] [STYLE=font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: -1; font-family: orator std;]made by jaykah of gs[/style]
So, uh, Ruby went to Sinnoh on a boat, did exactly that, and is on his way to hearthome city to win all the contests in Sinnoh? xD We could do a thread on that ^^
my brain has stopped working, so my ideas are probably all messed up But I like that idea ^^ I just finished replying to the threads I'm in on other sites, so I could probably start the thread today :3 but if you have better muse and want to start it, that's totally fine too xD
[atrb=valign,top][atrb=style,width:230; padding-left: 5px; text-align: justify; background-color:transparent;] [STYLE=background:#333333; color:#ffffff; font-size: 10px; font-family: orator std; text-align: right]HUGH && RUBY[/style] [STYLE=font-size: 10px; line-height: 1; text-align: justify; font-family: arial;]sounds good to me ^^ just to clarify for both of us (in case you're someone like me who keeps mental timelines of their characters) this is taking....well, if the destruction by the KoA started two years ago, and Ruby jumped to Sinnoh as soon as that happened after seeing the Absol in Hoenn, Ruby would be 17 and Hugh would have been 15 and probably been in Sinnoh for a while, considering he left the Unova region right after getting through Victory Road...and he was like I want to say...13 when the BW2 stuff happened but it hasn't been 100% confirmed yet so that might be wrong
...or if I have my ages/timeline wrong feel free to point it out >>
perhaps for their meeting in the Coronet mountains, Hugh could see Ruby crossing over the one patch he's on that will get him to Hearthome faster than taking the actual route and direct road itself, Ruby have a clumsy moment and almost fall down the mountainside, Hugh saves/helps him out?
Also for something like this I have a feeling it would be more effective if you started first, because otherwise you'd have a post with nothing to go off of anyway. >><<
we can just finalize deets here and then get the thread on the road ^^[/style] [STYLE=font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: -1; font-family: orator std;]made by jaykah of gs[/style]
I guess I do sort of like to keep a timeline of my character's events :3 so this would be like an event in the past? Well, whatever you choose to do, I'm pretty much up for it/okay with it xD I'm not good at making up my mind, but yeah, I guess we can say that between the events of Ruby leaving Hoenn and being wherever he is now, he could have gone to Sinnoh, crossed Mt. Coronet, and met Hugh on his way to Hearthome city :3
Maybe, Ruby, being not the best survival guy, gets a little bit worn out crossing Sinnoh with his pokemon, and that's when he has an emo moment and stumbles/takes a fall, and then Hugh could help him? ^^ emo Ruby feeling sorry for himself on Mt. Coronet xD
[atrb=valign,top][atrb=style,width:230; padding-left: 5px; text-align: justify; background-color:transparent;] [STYLE=background:#333333; color:#ffffff; font-size: 10px; font-family: orator std; text-align: right]HUGH && RUBY[/style] [STYLE=font-size: 10px; line-height: 1; text-align: justify; font-family: arial;]yup ^^ a past event. younger boys are go. sounds like a plan to me, on all parts. poor emo Ruby though, does he need a hug? I'll leave it to you to start the thread, then? c:
just post here/pm me when the thread is up~[/style] [STYLE=font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: -1; font-family: orator std;]made by jaykah of gs[/style]
Update: I feel like we should plot what they're gonna do next, or else they might just continue to stay there... while Ruby is still dehydrated and starving from all that. x'D I guess next they could go to the Pokemon Center to recover and all the next day?
