[@AbysmalDemon] Still alive and interested, sorry for the delay but finally I'm done!

[b]Name:[/b] Mathew delta
[b]Age:[/b] 16

[b]Appearance:[/b]
A chubby young man with curly brown hair covering his ears, and threatening to cover his wide brown eyes, Mathew always aims to look his very best. Normally this means wearing open shirts with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows atop a t-shit (usually a concert one), a pair of fashionable shorts held up by a strip of fabric tied around his waist, fashionable white red shoes and finally an equally red and fashionable backpack.

For contests Mathew dons a white shirt and deep violet waistcoat with trousers in a slightly bluer shade. However, depending on the show the outfit may see some alterations or changes. His hair also gets tamed and swept to the side.

[b]Personality/Motivation:[/b]
Mathew wants to experience as much as he can just so he can say “Been there, done that, got the t-shirt” and then move onto the next interesting thing to catch his attention. Speaking of attention, Mathew adores being in the centre of it which is probably why he adores contests so much; the chance to perform in front of hundreds of adoring fans and show the world what you got!

The best to describe Mathew is that he’s always on the move, never a moment does he sit still long enough to spot the roses let alone smell them. Despite his impatience and hot-headedness Mathew does manage to get some work done albeit not up to standard one would hope for. 
Additionally he is a very big fan of rock bands and owns a big collection of concert t-shirts.

[b]History:[/b]
Floraroma Town: a small little town famous for its meadows of wild flowers, and the yearly festival celebrating them also. Mathew spent most of his days around the local Contest hall, a staple for any large town in Sinnoh, where his grandmother worked tirelessly throughout the year. When he was young Mathew would simply follow his grandmother around as she hurried (or hobbled) around making sure everything was in place for not only the smaller local contests held throughout the year but also for the big region wide ones that would use the venue. As he got older Mathew began to take on more and more responsibilities to help his grandmother like scheduling acts, selling tickets and just keeping the place running in general.

Mathew adored seeing the different acts perform. While he enjoyed seeing Pokémon battles at the local battle grounds those that were performed at contest hall were on entirely different level; having to not only defeat the opponent but also execute each move with a certain level of style and grace. Soon enough it became a habit of Mathews to ask the coordinators detailed questions about their acts whenever he could, and then cheekily asking his Grandmother if he could try out a few with her Floatzel.

While Floatzel was happy to oblige most of the time as they were old and sadly, simply could do all the extravagant tricks Mathew wanted to try. As luck would have it though his parents had been considering getting Mathew his own Pokémon. Both his parents had been trainers in their youth so Mathew had grown up and learned to get along with Pokémon from an early age. But of course, borrowing the Pokémon of your parents and grandmother is very different to owning your own. Mathew even spent many nights deliberating with his parents upon what Pokémon he wanted (An Eevee was an audience favourite as well as it’s evolutions, although a Buneary did have it’s charms also) but in the end it was a Shinx Mathew ended up catching, with the help of his Mother.

Now with a Pokémon at his side the next step for Mathew was to decide upon where he should start his journey. Again, Mathew spent many nights deliberating with not only his parents but new partner as well to earn Speckles’ trust. In the end, it was his Grandmother who suggested Alola to be his first stop. Not only was the region a great tourist destination but in addition to the newly opened league there were rumours of a few small contests being held locally on each island. Mathew didn’t need any more convincing with the idea of exploring what was, to him at least, an entirely new region.

A week later his passport arrived in the post and he was out the door the next day.
