Welcome to the mischevious world of pokemon (or as I'd put it, the derpy world). On a serious note, you just have to wait until your character gets approved or a note posted on it with requests from a moderator or administrator about how to improve it before it can be approved. Until this happens, and even after it happens, you can feel free to show up in the chatbox to talk with other members of the forum. Also, after your character is approved, you'll have a couple of choices: you can go on an adventure on your own with a moderator to pick up your topic; or you can find someone else to travel with, post with them, and have a moderator show up for important things (such as generation of trainers, etc).
