While not much different from any other Aron, Gren's eyes are notably green rather than blue. Hence the name Gr(e)en. [/center]
[color=00a651]Name[/color]: Gren
[color=00a651]Gender[/color]: Male
[color=00a651]Pokémon[/color]: Aron
[color=00a651]Ability[/color]: Rock Head
[color=00a651]Unique Possessions[/color]: Some sort of marble. Feels powerful. Apparently with Gren when he was just an egg. Wears his lucky rock (A Hard Stone) around his neck. It's shaped like a pokeball.

[color=00a651]Personality[/color]: Gren is a fairly easygoing and relaxed pokemon. He's never really in a hurry to do anything and can come across as lazy, but that's not true. He's simply does things calmly and tries not to let things bother him too much. He can be very helpful in that if you ask him to do something for you, he'll do it to the best of his ability. That being said sometimes he can be kinda annoying when he keeps trying to help you, even if you don't need or want his help. He likes being with people but can certainly enjoy alone time, but more often then not he does try to do things that everyone else is doing. There is a bad side to him: he's very thick-headed and annoyingly persistent. While determination is never a bad thing, there are times were Gren simply won't admit to his faults or flaws and continue on his path, even if it's ultimately self-destructive. Once he starts going, it's hard to make him stop.

[color=00a651]Backstory[/color]: Gren doesn't know who his true parents are. His mother, a Mawile named Nadeshiko, found him as an egg when she went into the mines to fetch iron to make pots. She found him underneath a pile of rocks, along with a marble. She took him back to her home and kept his egg safe while she continued to do her work in Folio Town, until he finally hatched. The first thing she noticed was that he had green eyes, and thus the baby Aron was called Gren.

Gren worked the mines with his mother. His particularly hard head was very useful at breaking stones that even his mother couldn’t break, and he grew to be able to discern stones and other rocks by scent. It got to a point that, after a while, Gren was a better miner than his mother was. Not only could he find iron deposits deep underground, he could even sniff out stones, plates, fossils, nuggets, and meteorites. He made a lot of money for his mother, but as he grew older he started to wonder who his real parents were. He knew that the Mawile wasn’t his real mother, though he certainly loved her like she was. When he asked her, she was honest and told him that she didn’t know. Only that she found him in the mines and with a unique marble. Gren could tell that this stone was special, but he’s never seen it before.

Eventually Gren made a decision. He was going to find out more about his past. He wanted to know who his parents were, why they left him in that mine, and what this stone was suppose to be. He made sure to make a lot of money so that his mother could live comfortably while he was gone. He promised that he’ll make sure to contact her whenever possible so she wouldn’t worry about him. Once Gren made sure he had everything he could need/carry, he set off on his adventure.

[hider=More About Gren]Gren has many favorite foods. He loves his mother’s Mushroom Kingdom Soup (Made with one Big Mushroom, four Small Mushrooms, and a bottle of Moomoo Milk)and Sitrus is his favorite berry. He’s fine with eating metal things, but especially likes it when they’re rusty. He likes the flaky crunchy texture. Generally dislikes sweet things as they, in his own words, “Make my mouth feel bad”, though cold treats like popsicles, snow cones, and ice cream are an exception. He’s okay with drinking water and has a hard time learning that he shouldn’t drink [i]dirty water[/i], though due to being a steel-type he isn’t harmed by the poison in the water. Also has a bad habit of eating old or spoiled food as long as they still taste good.

Gren can’t swim at all and is afraid of water. While he’s fine with rain, drinking water, and puddles, he hates being in water. Thus it’s very rare for him to get on boats or take baths. Though he’s much more comfortable taking mud baths, for the given level of “clean” that’ll make him. He prefers scrubs.

Gren also has a very sharp nose for all things rocky and underground. If he is in underground or cave-like structures, his scent ability skyrockets: he can not only sniff out various types of ores and rocks, but even pokemon who aren’t rock types. Otherwise on the surface he’s able to identify what metal or stone things are made of with a good sniff, and can seek out similar objects if he has a scent on them.

Gren isn’t afraid to fight and is fairly used to fighting as well. He’s faced off against a few hostile pokemon in the mines, more often than not fighting types who think he’ll make for an easy target just because he’s a rock/steel type. Then they get smacked in the face with a rollout. Since he’s still kinda small, a lot of Gren’s attacks generally consist of smashing his head against them at full speed, and Rollout is his best weaponized version of this. Not only does Rollout make for an effective attack, it helps him get over his usual weakness of being kinda slow, rolling around like a boulder on an incline. Failing that, Gren is still a tough little pokemon and knows how to use his body to Protect himself from attacks. Or he could use his excellent burrowing ability and Dig himself to safety. If all else fails, Gren can unleash a mighty Roar that will scare off most ruffians, or at least alert others from far away that he’s in trouble.

Gren also doesn’t like fighting types due to the above instances, as they typically bully him whenever he’s working. His mother usually drives them away, but it doesn’t change the fact that he looks very dimly on fighter types, especially the ones who think they’re “honorable” warriors or the like. Since most of the time that “Honor” consist of them trying to beat him up just so they could get stronger.

Lastly, Gren has learned a few tricks that he helped him from time to time. One trick is that if he claps his front two claws hard enough, he can make a spark to light tinder with. His claws need to be dry though, as wet claws aren’t “rough” enough. He also knows how to make baskets out of sticks and leaves, which he usually uses to carry berries and small rocks. If he has more time and better materials he can make baskets that can hold bigger and heavier rocks too, even pokemon. His mother taught him that one. He’s also pretty good at predicting the weather, though only rain and he needs to be outside first. He can give a rough estimate at when it’ll arrive, how long it might last, and how heavy the rain would be. He mostly knows this to avoid going out, since while he doesn’t mind being in the rain, he would still prefer not to be in the rain. [/hider]

[hider=Gren’s Friends]
Nadeshiko - A fairly old Mawile, she is one of Folio’s Blacksmiths and Miners. She specializes in cooking and cutlery. She found Gren one day in the mines and adopted him. Nadeshiko used to be part of a team called Wyld Style, though the group has mostly retired to settle down in and around the town of Folio. A kind and motherly pokemon, she made sure to raise Gren with lots of love, though she isn’t afraid to punish him for being naughty either. She doesn’t really make much of a name for herself in Folio, though she’s sociable enough that her smithy gets regular customers. While she doesn’t fight much, Nadeshiko is no less a dangerous opponent. While she’s rightfully worried about getting hurt, if push comes to shove or someone is in danger, she can be very Brave. When she fights she can Intimidate even the most fearsome of pokemon. She’s been known to Play Rough against her enemies, and can use Iron Head to make the mouth-like horns on her head harder than steel. She’s a pragmatic fighter and will use Foul Play against opponents who are stronger than her, or lower their guard using her Sweet Scent. Her favorite food is Mushrooms and Occa Berries.

Honey Buns - A Buneary who grows berries with his parents. His mother is a Lopunny, while his father is a Scrafty. Gren met him one day while taking a break from the mines, and helped him pick his berries. Later they helped defend their berry farm from a gang of poochyenas. Honey is a nice but naive little pokemon, always willing to give a hand and trust others. He and Gren get along well thanks to their easy-going attitudes. Honey wants to find all the berries in the world and grow them in his family’s farm. Unlike Gren, Honey isn’t used to fighting and can come off as rather weak. Thus he’s more prone to Run Away from fights than to stay, but if he can’t leave Honey isn’t defenseless. He knows how to Endure attacks, and has a sharp Foresight to hit fast enemies and even Ghosts. He usually uses Quick Attacks and relies on hit-and-run tactics. But if you’re a big and mean pokemon, Honey will use a technique his father taught him: a Low Kick that, even for a small pokemon like Honey, will do a lot of harm. Honey’s favorite food is Honey and Pecha Berries.

Kage - A roguish poochyena with a complicated relationship with Gren. Kage was one of the poochyenas who raided Honey’s farm for berries, but he didn’t do it out of malice: He used to run with a pack of Poochyenas who, figuring they were outcasts from Folio Town, had to steal to survive. Eventually the pack was able to slowly integrate as productive members of Folio Town, but that all changed when one of the Poochyenas became a Mightyena. He began to make the poochyenas rob other pokemon, not even to survive, but just so he can have their stuff. Kage didn’t like this and worked alongside Gren to put an end to his old gang. Together they managed to chase off the Mightyena, but it might not be the last they see of him. Kage is a Hasty pokemon who has a lot of heart, but not a lot of sense. Kage is also a horrible speller: his name is suppose to be “Cage”, but he spelled it with a “K” because he thought “C” were just lowercase “S”. Kage can be easily Rattled and is quite jumpy, scared of bugs, ghosts, and the dark. Because he’s rather cowardly he’s not a great fighter, but he is a good Thief. Despite being a coward he’s a good liar and could Swagger his enemies into a frenzy, then use Sand Attacks to blind them, and Howl to pump himself up. His favorite food is roasted meat.

Masha - Masha is a shroomish who aspires to be a successful traveling merchant. Her parents, both Brelooms, are guardians of Folio Town. Masha’s mother is nice if boisterous: she sometimes forgets how strong she is and could give crushing hugs. Masha’s father is less likeable. He takes his job protecting Folio Town, and by extension his family, very seriously. Thus he has very little tolerance for troublemakers, and especially doesn’t want Masha to hang out with troublemakers (I.e. boys). Thus Masha’s father doesn’t like Gren, though Gren and Masha are quite friendly with each other. Gren often trades the things he finds in the mines for Masha’s mushrooms, often very skewed in Masha’s favor. That being said, she does give Gren a good deal on mushrooms and will give him an appropriate amount of money to him once she finishes selling off all the stuff he trades her. Knowing how dangerous the life of a traveling merchant will be, Masha is trained to fight by her parents. She knows how to give a nasty headbutt, and she has a lot of staying power once she plants some Leech Seeds on her enemy and starts using Mega Absorb. But if things start to get really bad for her, she has the ultimate technique her father taught her: Spore, an instant sleep attack that’s much more effective than Sleeping Powder. Her favorite food is Mineral Water and Watmel Berries.

Seraph - A rather tall Kirlia (she’s 3 feet tall instead of the usual 2 feet) who has a somewhat belligerent relationship with Gren. While normally a modest and aloof, Seraph can be rather bossy and mean spirited when she has to deal with “stupid” pokemon. And Gren is one of those “stupid” pokemon. Seraph lives with her parents, a Gardevoir and Gallade, who runs the library and teach at Hawlucha’s Slam School, respectively. Seraph herself fancies herself a guardian of the town and will often write up pokemon with “Tickets” when they do something like littering or loitering. While she usually leaves it to the actual protectors of Folio Town to deal with real criminals, Seraph is more than capable of holding her own. Her Telepathy allows her to fight in the thick of it with her allies without worrying about friendly fire. She’d strike with Magical Leaves if her enemies are too fast for her to hit with Confusion, and if they get too close she’ll Teleport to somewhere safe. If someone is hurt she can also use Heal Pulse on them. Seraph favorite food is Crackers and Chesto berries.

Hibiki - A Loudred who is infatuated with Gren. Hibiki first met Gren when she was just a Whismur, when she was accosted by a couple of makuhitas. Gren fought them off despite sustaining heavy injuries, making the shy girl smitten with him. Later when the same gang came around to beat up Gren, Hibiki evolved into a Loudred and caused them to flee after she roared at them. Since then she’s been trying to win Gren’s affections, though he’s not interested in her in that way. Still, she tries. Despite her evolution, Hibiki is still remains rather bashful. Like many loudreds, Hibiki is naturally soundproof, and makes use of them when fighting others. She often starts, and typically only needs to use, her Echoed Voice to defeat her enemies. While it’s not strong at first, the longer she does it the more it hurts. She can also use a Supersonic scream to confuse her enemies while she Stomps them flat. She can also… Attract male pokemon into falling in love with her (Or at least her voice). Hibiki hopes to use it on Gren, but she hasn’t found the chance yet. Her favorite food is bread and likes Tamato berries. 

Edelweiss (Weiss for short) - A Frolass who lives deep in the caves of Folio Town. While not exactly a secret to most of the townsfolk, not many know much about her. Because no one ever see’s her during the day, there are many rumors as to who she is and what she does, from fairly benign to nightmarish. But the truth is, the reason she doesn’t go out during the day is because she’s an [i]ice[/i] pokemon in the middle of a desert city. Combined with light-sensitive eyes and nocturnal sleep schedule, she doesn’t like to be outside during the day. She’s actually close friends with Nadeshiko and is one of the retired members of Wyld Style. Weiss makes ice for the Folio Town. Generally a calm person, nonetheless Weiss has also taken it upon herself to defend the town at night, especially against ghosts. Her Ice Coat makes her hard to hit in an ice storm, which will often be the setting of her battles as she always begins her fight by summoning Hail. This makes her Blizzards much more accurate. If fighting against ghosts, she’d hit them with Shadow Balls. And to prevent her prey from escaping she will often Block their paths, forcing them into a fight with her. Weiss’s favorite food is peanuts. 

Robo - A mysterious Golett. Gren met him once when he got lost in a sandstorm. A very mysterious pokemon all things considered, but it did help Gren get back to Folio Town. He seems quiet, as the Golett never really told Gren anything aside from his name and that under no circumstances should Gren go into the desert alone. Gren never sees him in Folio Town, though sometimes when he’s in the desert heading to the mines he could see the golem pokemon walking in the distance. Gren isn’t sure what his abilities or what his attacks are. Robo doesn’t eat.

Helix - PRAISE HELIX! An [i]massive[/i] Omastar Gren met near the beach. It was thanks to Helix that Gren was saved from a watery grave. Bold and bombastic, Helix can seem quite silly but is actually very wise and insightful. He was the one who taught Gren how to use Rollout, and why: because not all pokemon begin at their strongest. In the beginning, all pokemon start off small and weak. Even the most legendary pokemon were once babies in their eggs. But as long as they keep going, never stopping and never giving up, one day those little babies will become a great big force that will change the world. Helix doesn’t live in Folio Town, instead making his home somewhere off the coast. Though he does stop by for festivals or events. Helix’s Shell Armor is his defining feature, as it’s even tougher than Gren is. Hexis can summon form a mighty Surf to crash into his enemies, or concentrate that power into a Hydro Pump. And one should not underestimate Helix when he does a Defense Curl: because it will soon be followed up with a devastating Rollout. His favorite food is burgers and ice cream.
