[b]Hometown/Region[/b]: Stormbutte City, Viore

[b]Personality[/b]: Brent is a level headed, down to earth kind of kid. While he is open minded, he is often quite skeptical of outrageous claims or mystical ancient legends that have no real proof to back them up. He believes that everything can be explained through some sort of science or reason. He's usually a pretty friendly guy to get along with, and has plenty of friends. But watch out if you try to debate something with him, he'll find a way to prove you wrong and then some.

[b]History[/b]: Brent was the second born in the Ignia family, being born six years after his older brother Ryan. His parents, Leon and Michelle Ignia, had lived in Stormbutte City for a few years now, having moved to the Viore Region from the Sevii Islands. As he grew up, it wasn't normally his parents taking care of him. His father was the assistant of the Region's Pokemon Professor, and his mother had recently become the foreman of the Stormbutte Power Plant. Instead, his brother Ryan was the one who would most often take care of him, teaching him important skills such as how to cook and some decent personal hygiene.

When Brent finally started attending Trainer's School, his brother headed off on his Pokemon Journey, leading to his father and mother taking more responsibility, and time off. His father would recount the numerous tales he'd learned of Viore's Ancient Past, tales of unbelievable adventures and strange magic and abilities that none today have uncovered. Heroes and Villains, massive battles and conflicts. To just about any kid they would have clung to every word. Brent... was not any kid.

He never believed many of the more outrageous legends, like the one about the ten heroes chosen by fate to defeat an evil king with a powerful dragon. All they were, he believed, were stories meant to thrill the kids and instill them with a sense of adventure as they grew older. His inspiration didn't come from that, however. He wanted to be like his brother, who'd begun challenging Gyms in the Kanto and Johto Regions.

On his tenth birthday, his brother gave him his first Pokemon, or rather what would become his first Pokemon. He had gifted him a Pokemon Egg bred from his own Starter, Typhlosion. Within days the Egg had hatched into a Cyndaquil, whom Brent went on to nickname Cinder. There was only one thing left to do. A couple days later, he and his father headed to New Amber Town, so Brent could receive a Pokedex and start his journey. While there, Brent met who would become his travelling companions. Three Johto Natives who had come to Viore: Lily Meadows, Devon Lyton, and Celes Elwyn.

The group headed off towards Vertigo City while it was still daylight, but came under attack by a strange group called Royal Skies. They escaped with an injured Shaymin, and made it to a Pokemon Center as the sun set. The next day, Brent watched a fierce battle between Devon and a Trainer named Brooks, before the group continued on to Vertigo City.

[b]Background Info[/b]: Cinder was bred by Brent's brother Ryan from his Typhlosion, Kindle. He was gifted to Brent as an Egg for his Tenth Birthday, and was hatched under his care. The world around him is a big mystery to him for the most part, save for what he's learned by watching Human TV. He also has a tendency to pull pranks on his trainer, usually giving him an unwanted wake up call courtesy of an Ember to Brent's backside. It's all in good fun, and nothing can tear those two apart.

[b]Notes[/b]:
[list][*]While his father studied Pokemon alongside Professor Maple, he was never around enough to really teach Brent any advanced facts or tricks when it came to being a Pokemon Trainer.
[*]Brent doesn't disregard all legends and stories. For example, the story about a great civil war in ancient times, ended by one king, is one he believes, as there is proof of this war. He's still not sure about if how it ended is true, though.
[*]In "Legendary Guardians", Brent became bonded with the Victory Pokemon Victini, becoming one of the Mythical Legendary Guardians of Viore.
