Echo Requests (retired)
Please fill out this form when requesting an Echo, then post it to this entry. The request will be dealt with as soon as possible.
When requesting an Echo induced by a past-life parallel/recurrence, please demonstrate clearly the similarity between the events, as well as the relation between the events and what is returned.
As of September 2013, Tier 2 Echoes can be granted once a month per character. Take care to specify the limitations and/or level of detail to the Echo requested! If you are unsure, suggestions will be gladly offered.
Reason for Echo: What caused the Echo, whether it be by a plot-related trigger or a canon recurrence. For the latter, this must be unusual enough to have been the first time the character has encountered it within Locke City, and strongly resemble a specific event from canon. Picking up a jug of milk from the store will not cause an Echo if it isn't any different than the times the character has done it before.
Type and tier: Physical change, power/ability, mental/memory, or item/creature. Tier 1 are the regular Echoes, and are typically a single memory/ability/item/etc. Tier 2 are essentially two regular Echoes rolled into one, such as an item and a memory or ability associated with it, or two directly-related memories, or so on. Currently only one Tier 2 Echo is allowed per month, so please be sure to note them somehow on your info posts.
What is returned: In the case of canon recurrences, these must be directly related to what has caused the Echo. Stronger recurrences = stronger Echoes.

However, we'd like to ask you for an alternative Echo - a full-powered, fully-evolved Pokémon may be a bit too sizable of an advantage this early on into things - and we assure you, even the nature of the threat in the minds isn't such that she will need quite that much firepower!
In addition, we're unsure on how the proposed trigger would be both engineered and ensured - although even if it did happen, something closer to perhaps Blaziken's PokeBall or contest ribbon would be preferred.

But yup, it's all good, when I think about it things work out better this way. (more reason for her to have to rely on others and learn she needs to get along)
I had an idea for another trigger - her half of the Toneriko Town Ribbon (Satoshi holds the other half, they split it when they tied in an unofficial contest). She keeps it with her during her solo Johto travels, and she's said that it reminds her of her friendship with him and gives her strength, so what I was thinking was her half of the ribbon + feelings of once having had a strong bond with someone.
She could get it after she escapes from the cave, since a team up between her and Regina is planned and that would serve as the deja vu trigger?

But fantastic, and that does sound perfectly acceptable - however, we'd like to ask a bit more specificity first. Might you and Pam be able to come up with a moment for Haruka and Regina to share that would be especially reminiscent of one that she and Satoshi shared (for example, perhaps Haruka saying or being told something that she significantly said to Satoshi/Satoshi told her)?
no subject
waiting on a response from Pam (EDIT: we've confirmed that this is going to be a thing) but I'm thinking Regina could save Haruka from a really close call because Satoshi was always the one (out of the main 4) to save Haruka's life when it needs saving.
and while I'm here:
Reason for Echo: Meeting the sage
What is returned: Blaziken's pokeball (minus Blaziken)

Echo approved - please add relevant data to your info post!
And assuming equal degrees of direness between situations, that ought to work!
