His family home growing up was perched atop the Eastern Mountains, on the outskirts of Central City territory. Every school day, he would take the long bus ride into town, while his parents drove to work on the other side of the mountain. Both his parents worked at a factory making furniture. Sometimes he would wonder why he didn't just go to school on that side of the mountain? They were only a mile from the border. Did it really make a difference? But as he grew up, those questions subsided. His friends were all from Central City now, even if he only got to see them when he went to school. The Pokemon living in the mountains were more his friends than any actual person. Not that he was unfriendly, but his closest friend lived at the bottom of the mountain, a long hike indeed. The Pokemon however lived only steps outside his door. His strongest connection was to the bird Pokemon, as they were always very abundant near his home. He longed to sore through the skies with them. In fact, flying through the sky would become a reoccurring dream, almost nightly. While Flying Pokemon were his favorite growing up, he also had a strong curiosity toward Dragon type Pokemon, especially flying dragons. Unfortunately, he'd never actually seen one. After Nick's high school graduation ceremony, his father pulled him aside. [i]"You are a smart boy. I hope you have picked out a good college. I am so proud to see that you have grown into a fine young man. Take this Poke Ball. Find a companion that will keep you safe on your journeys ahead. I wish I could give you more, but times are rough. You're smart though; I have faith in you."[/i] Teary eyed, Nick accepted the gift. He couldn't bring himself to admit to his father that he had loafed around during his last few years of school. While his grades stayed up, his motivation fell to the side. He did not have a plan for his future. He just had a Poke Ball. [i]"Thanks Dad."[/i] [/indent] [b]Personality:[/b] [indent]Growing up so far from the city, Nick developed a very dry personality. His demeanor may seem a little distant, even when he is perfectly happy. His friends can see through his allusive veil though. They know that once he starts caring for someone, he will always have their back; he is as loyal as any Pokemon. His personality can also come off as strikingly mysterious. This mysterious attitude too often brought him trouble with the females, being chased around the playground by overly affectionate girls and teasing friends. As he became older though, Nick begun to enjoy the attention... silently.

It's not something that anyone else has to do. I don't mind if others copy this idea or do something similar. Your Character Sheet is yours to do with what you will. Just don't put in any misleading information.[/i] [b]Entry #1 -[/b] Today is the first day of my new life. I've decided to start this online blog, in case I become some kind of Pokemon master or something (yeah right!). But yeah, dad just gave me a Poke Ball as a graduation present. I don't think I thanked him properly, him or mom. My mind is racing, I don't know what Pokemon I should catch with this thing. Heck, I don't even know what I'm going to do next PERIOD! [b]Entry #2 -[/b] I've been back home for six days now. My Pokemon "adventure" turned out to be nothing more than a long walk to and from town. At least I managed to meet a few new freinds, Little Guy and Feathers. Oh, those are my two first Pokemon, a Munchlax and a Starly. The past few days have been awesome. Little Guy and I are happy sitting around doing a whole lot of nothing. Snacks are all we need. Feathers keeps us moving though, she makes us go outside at least twice a day. This sure is the life. The parents have been getting a little restless with me though. It's almost as if their trying to get rid of me! Just kidding, I know. I should be out having wonderful adventures, catching new Pokemon, battling, and making new HUMAN friends. That's why I promised; I will go back out tomorrow, and this time I'll have a "real" adventure. [/hider] [hr][/hider]
