[hider=Keoni Mahiki]Name: Keoni Mahiki
Age: 26
Appearance: Tanned, with light brown hair and blue eyes, Keoni is an Alolan native from Ula'Ula island. He wears a half-grin on his handsome face, teeth startlingly white when he laughs, which is often. He prefers light clothing, sleeveless shirts showing off his arms and long pants as a habit from his life in the desert. For the same reason, he prefers ironically heavy hiking boots. On more formal occasions, he'll don a button-up shirt, but he'll undo the buttons and leave it hanging open at the first opportunity. On very, very rare occasions, he'll bundle up for cold weather.

History: Born third child and first son of a ranger couple stationed just outside the Haina Desert, Keoni was largely left to the care of his two older sisters when his parents went on patrols. Not surprisingly, he learned how to deal with women early in his life. When his parents were home, which is more often than you might think, Keoni was the darling of the household. He could often get away with things his older sisters couldn't, and when he figured this out he began using it to cover for his sisters. This led to many household jokes, and good sibling relations.

Keoni was a social child, and his social circle only got wider as his sisters and his friends matured, leading to many sleepovers at his house. With the closest of his friends, Keoni managed to explore quite a lot of Route 13 and the Tapu Village. When his parents presented him with a weak Trapinch they'd discovered struggling in the desert sands, Keoni's ability to explore only got more pronounced. By the time he was in high school, he had not only developed a nice physique from carrying Sirocco around when the Trapinch tired, but gained a part-time job as a tour guide in Tapu Village.

He met many people in that job, but the one who really stole his heart was a Hoennese redhead with a Torkoal. Her name was Asuna, and their chemistry surprised his parents and disappointed more than a few local girls. Her stay ended up being extended by two weeks, but she eventually had to head back. He gave her a Litten, another Ranger rescue, and a promise to meet her in her hometown. They've stayed in contact via letters and occasional parcels; both Keoni and Kathrine have developed a taste for lava cookies. He sent her a bracelet made of a sparkling stone left behind by a Tapu. However, he kept a bit behind; he's also carved a ring out of the same stone, with a beautiful red stone set in it. If his visit to her hometown goes well, he plans to propose...

Pokèmon:
- Flygon (Sirocco), Levitate
- Male, (2m tall, 75kg)
- Sirocco was born small and weak, and was found lying exhausted on the desert sands after digging out of his clutch nest. He was saved, and through Keoni's love and care, has evolved into a small but tough flygon. He's only barely big enough to carry Keoni, but has built up enough strength to be able to do it for hours, partly in return for the amount of time Keoni spent carrying him before he evolved into a Vibrava. If a pokemon can understand romance, Sirocco certainly supports Keoni's relationship with Asuna, having grown just as attached to her as his trainer.
-- While Sirocco gladly serves as Keoni's transport, even begging his trainer to fly with him in their spare time, this flygon is a sneaky and vicious battler. While still strong by the standards of his species, Sirocco learned to use speed and precision over brawling, and often disables or sneaks up on opponents. His signature move, Eternal Sandsong, is the epitome of this, trapping and blinding the opponent.
- Moves: (Primary) Fly/Sand Tomb/Dragon Rush/Bulldoze/Eternal Sandsong (Known) Solar Beam, Sand Attack, Sunny Day and Giga Impact

- Ninetales (Alola Variant) (Kathrine), Snow Cloak
- Female (1.1m tall, 20kg)
- This elegant white fox enchanted Keoni when she was offered as a trade by a visiting trainer. The poor bloke had quite a sob story, but Kathrine seemed unaffected by it. She quickly settled in at Keoni's home, and her (mostly) harmless mischief and adorable mistakes won her the adoration of his whole family. She was jealous of any girl spending more time with 'her' Keoni than she did, even barking at his sisters on occasion. When an Ice Stone was brought home by one of the family, she stole it and evolved into a ninetales just to steal more of Keoni's attention. It didn't quite work, as the first few weeks after evolution left her a little more clumsy. She's mostly over tripping on her paws. Mostly.
-- Strangely, she battles similarly to Sirocco, despite her ego. Whipping up a shower of ice crystals from her fur, she'll disappear into the resulting powder and hit her opponent with ice blasts from apparently nowhere. She is still a bit of a showboat, appearing in the cloud just long enough for her opponent to spot her and strike. Sometimes she dodges and disappears again. Other times she stumbles.
-moves (Primary) Dazzling Gleam/Frost Breath/Hail/Blizzard/Calm Mind (Known) Roar, Baby-Doll Eyes, Swagger, Attract, 

- Decidueye (Robin), Long Reach
- Male (1.6m tall, 36.6 kg)
- Robin is the silent member of Keoni's team, even up to seeming sleepy at times. Keoni found him as a Rowlet in Tapu Village. After trying to wake the little pokemon for a good half hour, Robin perched on Keoni's head when he turned around, and has never left. Mostly active at night, Robin is nevertheless fiercely protective of his trainer and team. He would pop out of his pokeball often when Keoni was younger, just to watch over the boy at night. He's better-disciplined now, but does seem to take particular pleasure in taunting fighting and psychic type opponents.
-- One of Keoni's sisters, after a mock battle, once described Robin as "an irritating little *bleep*". Unlike the other two, Robin doesn't hide. He stays just out of the opponent's reach, even letting fighting-type moves 'hit' him and hooting almost in laughter. He launches his attacks from a safe distance, relying on his Long Reach ability as much as possible.
- Moves (Primary) Spirit Shackle/Razor Leaf/Leaf Blade/Shadow Claw (Known) Sucker Punch, Astonish, Pluck, Steel Wing[/hider]
