Name: Prince Teal

Are you a boy, or a girl?: Boy, 24

Personality: He believes that it is his duty to protect the humans and pokemon of Kanto, as well as the peace which has existed between them for over two hundred years. He tries to help people if he can, and is loved by many people and pokemon as a kind and benevolent ruler.

Skills: Fire, Water, Ice, and Lightning magic. Hand to hand combat. He is also fairly skilled at negotiation, as nobility is supposed to be fair arbiters. He is fairly good at understanding Pokemon, though he sometimes misses details.

History: The eldest son of King Grey of Kanto, he was trained to be a fair ruler from birth, with a basic education in writing, math, science, and art. At the age of twelve he was inducted into the order of the Trainers by his uncle, taking the oath:

"I wish to be the best, like no one ever was. To learn from them is my test, to train them is my call. Should I travel across the land, searching far and wide, with each pokemon I encounter I will endeavor to learn from them, to understand the power that's inside of them."

He was then given an Eevee egg, which hatched into his first pokemon, Fuji. As was the custom of the Trainers, he then swore an oath to Fuji:

"With a true heart, our courage will bring us together through all of life's hardships. You will teach me, and I will teach you."

His uncle oversaw his training in Magic, and he reached a fairly advanced level and was chosen to succeed his father as King. He was planning a trip to visit the three Legendary Pokemon Lords and seek their blessing as the new King when Johto invaded. His father asked him to bring together a select group of agents, instead, and to try and find a solution to this invasion, as the invasion appeared to be going too well to guarantee Kanto's success in defending itself through standard military means.

Pokemon: Ditto named Peach (prefers to remain in the form of a young human woman, wearing a blue dress. She loves Pecha berries. She was trained in swordsmanship as well as has general servant's training.), Umbreon named Fuji, Rapidash named Barley

Equipment: Staff with a Water stone on it, Thunder stone Amulet, Fire Stone Bracelet, Ice stone bracelet (imported from Alola), Leather Armor w/ metal plated gloves, bag of Pecha Berries from the Royal Orchards, money (he's a prince, so as long as his spending doesn't get ridiculous and he can speak to the local rulers or guards to get more, it won't be an issue.)

Name: Chiyome Mochizuki

Are you a boy, or a girl?: Girl, age 19

Personality: Chiyome Mochizuki is a quiet, stoic young woman with strong ambitions. She is respectful to those around her, though she can seem closed-off to those who try to get to know her. She is very introverted, and often chooses to listen rather than speak. Chiyome often falls into the role of the "shoulder to cry on", to to speak, in that she is relied on by friends for her emotional strength and willingness to listen. Chiyome adopts a serious attitude when the time calls for it, but she is able to relax during her downtime. She takes her duties seriously, and strives to be the best at what she does. Her primary ambition in life is to protect and maintain the honor of her family; she also aims to increase her family's status by excelling in her military service. Though she is young, she tries her best to keep up with her fellow soldiers in service to King Grey of Kanto.

Skills: Wields a naginata in combat that allows her to channel steel-type attacks. Also proficient in hand to hand combat to a lesser degree. Can understand Pokemon decently well. Skilled at handling aerial combat, wherein she can use flying-type techniques while in the air. She also has a basic education, allowing her to read and write. Coming from nobility, she knows how to conduct herself among high-class citizens.

History: Chiyome Mochizuki comes from a well-respected family of nobles in the kingdom of Kanto. Her family has a long-held tradition of becoming personal soldiers in service to the King, safeguarding the palace from generation to generation upon entering adulthood. Members of the Mochizuki family also traditionally take on more clandestine operations to serve the King's interests. Even before entering military service, members of the Mochizuki family are trained from early childhood in the art of combat in preparation for this service. This involves both practicing with weaponry and becoming proper Pokemon trainers. Chiyome takes up this mantle with pride, hoping to elevate her family's status. Using her ambition to drive her motivation, Chiyome trained long and hard in order to become a respectable member of the military. This became difficult to balance with the social demands of nobility, and as such Chiyome became somewhat introverted. Chiyome's father, a venerated veteran who served the King for many years, gave Chiyome her first Pokemon egg: a Scyther egg, which she was tasked with caring for. When it hatched, she was allowed to keep it, with the added responsibility of raising it to fight alongside her. This Scyther eventually became Chiyome's Scizor, her primary partner in battle. Over the course of her training, she was also given a Skarmory and a Marowak who would become trusted companions in battle as well.

When Chiyome received a strange letter from a messenger, she knew that this was one of those "clandestine operations" like those that her father had carried out during his own service. Why she was chosen, she wasn't sure; was it the legacy of her father? Or was it her status? She was no stranger to safeguarding members of the royal family (though nobody as high-profile as the Prince), was that it? Either way, she saw it as a chance to represent her family in these times of great strife in the kingdom.

Pokemon: A Scizor named Nakami, a Skarmory named Sora, and a Marowak named Kotsu.

Equipment: A naginata forged with a Metal Coat (a Mochizuki tradition), some light leather armor with a pair of gloves, a small mask that she wears while flying, a small bag of berries, and some money given to her by her family.

Name: Kondo Daiki

Are you a boy, or a girl?: Boy

Personality: Wild, free, and humourous, Daiki lives up to his reputation as a ninetales' child. Despite being noble enough to hang out with the prince, he's just as likely to be found running through the bamboo forests and climbing trees. He is energetic, impatient, and has a love for mischief second only to his thirst to always be in motion. He's vaguely aware that one day he will have to take over from his father and be a true nobleman, but still sorely needs to learn discipline before then

Skills: Impressive acrobatics and stealth skills. Also has a wooden sword with a Miracle Seed core that he's learned Grass-type magic with, to better protect and complement his two ninetales. Knows Leaf Blade, Vine Whip and Wood Hammer techniques.

History: Though he's clearly born into the Kondo family, Daiki's mother is an unknown quantity. His father returned from kingdoms unknown with him as a toddler, chasing an ice vulpix around the court while his father attempted to retain some dignity. This was to be the defining moment for Daiki. His distaste for courtly matters and discipline was matched only by his ability to train and calm Pokemon, though he has a particular affinity for the vulpix line. Thanks to him, the House of Kondo has earned a reputation for providing the most obedient and fittest pokemon to warlords across Kanto.

Pokemon:
Hitoko, a ninetales, fire-type. Knows Flamethrower, Extrasensory, Safeguard, and Fire Blast.
Yukiko, a ninetales, ice/fairy-type. Knows Ice Beam, Dazzling Gleam, Mist, and Blizzard.

Equipment: One fox mask that he always wears, over his face if he's playing or hunting with his ninetales or other pokemon, to the side if he's dealing with humans. One wooden sword that was carved around a Miracle Seed core.

Name: Hemlock Lance
Age: 35
Are you a boy, or a girl?: Boy

Personality: King to be, eldest son of the king of Johto... Disgraced. Scarred. Practically schizophrenic. It is said that as a child he always smiled. That Hemlock was happy. But he was ambitious. Often competing with his siblings, and despite being oldes he felt... Inferior. As if he could never live up to expectations unless he was the best in everything.
Since then, and his injuries, he has been unstable. Paranoia crawls at his mind, a hair temper, a hatred of being judged. His mind dripped in the pain and mistakes he made. His ambitions never cease, and he spends his days working. He spends his days obsessing. He is the most relentless of hunters. He won't stop. He can't stop. He's obsessed with his own glory, and his own honor. And maybe... Just maybe... Silencing the voices of paranoia gnawing at his mind.
Compared to others though, Hemlock is clever. Sinisterly so. He views others as pawns, or in a way systems of power. Relationships don't exist for love, but tools to expand an ambition. There are few boundaries he would not break to get his way, making him the deadliest enemy Prince Teal will ever face.

Skills: Dragons are a big deal amongst royals. For Hemlock, he is dedicated to the dragon arts, and to the powers of dragons. Magic spells, with origins in the dragon arts were used upon his body, bestowing him with a body much like the beasts he adores. He can utilize dragon magic, and their abilities to a degree, often utilizing it more for close range combat than anything long range. As a result, he also has the ability to rely on dragon type resistances, which makes him nearly impossible to defeat with traditional methods.
In battle, he uses a halberd, as a medium for such attacks as Outrage, or Dragon Rush.

History: The prince of Johto. Eldest Son of King Elm. Raised as the chosen son, and heir to an empire, Hemlock was given all the tools to succeed. In fact, he succeeded so frequently that he was unquestioned on the rise to power. Amongst his ten siblings he was the true king, despite all vying for control of the kingdom. He survived assassinations from jealous younger siblings, and one pokemon battle after battle. His power, intellect, and strengths all outweighed the competition. Except, his ego was on the rise. Before he would be king, on his 17th birthday, he decided to lead a hunt for the ultimate prize.
Celebi. The time pokemon. If Hemlock could obtain Celebi's powers for his own he's rule unquestioned for centuries. The problem? Celebi was a legendary pokemon, and may be the last of its kind. He set out with a team of ten hunters, and the hunt began. Almost a month of hunting, chasing after shadows, until finally Hemlock had cornered the time traveling fairy. Apriball in hand, he threw it, seeking to capture Celebi in one go. Except the pokemon fled. Time twisted, distorted, and warped around Celebi, catching Hemlock in the twisting rivers of time. The apriball exploded, reformed, exploded, and Hemlock was left in the spinning void. Screaming, stopping, and then screaming again. Time crashed around him until... It was over. And he was in pain. A week into the future, blood dripping from a fresh scar from his own exploding Apriball. The prince returned to his home, humiliated by his failure.
The time jump did more than just scar his face. It scarred his mind. Paranoia began to creep in, his health plummeting more and more as enemies gathered in his head. Who could be trusted? What could be trusted? To a point where his paranoia finally caused him to snap in a public gathering, shaming himself before an audience. His brothers capitalized on his deteriorating mental health, and he was exiled. Gathering those he could call faithful, Hemlock left to travel the globe by ship. He visited strange lands, seeking new ways he could regain his honor. By the age of 30 he believed his quest to be over. Until he met Celebi again. The legendary pokemon appeared on a cloudless night, appearing from the future.
The timeline was wrong. The trip through time that Hemlock had made had shattered his mind, and damaged the future. he was to be king, and his siblings would only bring ruin to the world. Together, the two vowed to set the world right again. But, to do that, they'd have to gain back the honor Hemlock had lost. To do that, he had to conquer the land of Kanto. He seeks to capture the prince, and become king. No matter the cost.

Pokemon:
- Death (Celebi): The most important Pokemon in Hemlock's team. Despite being a legendary, and not technically 'his' property. The Celebi is firmly allied with him, and does what it can to aid his one day rule.
- War (Dragonair): A shiny dragonair, raised from a shiny dratini. This was Hemlock's first pokemon, gifted to him as a child by his father. Despite all of the setbacks in Hemlock's plans, Lance remains unflinchingly loyal.
- Pestilience (Kabutops): A kabutops brought to the present time from eons past. Utilizing the time traveling powers of Celebi, Hemlock is the only owner of this rare, and one of a kind pokemon.
- Famine (Aerodactyl): A similar case to Kabutops, in which Hemlock was gifted the ancient pokemon after allying himself with Celebi.

Equipment:
- Royal Armor: Armor crafted from the hide of a dragonite, making it some of the toughest armor available. Primarily designed for defense against mages. The armor also sports steel plating on the chest, and limbs, which can be hidden underneath his clothing.
- Halberd: The primary weapon of Hemlock, as it provides range and power.
- Six Apriballs: Only three are currently in use.
- War Ship: While far from the only method of travel at Hemlock's disposal. He does have a fully operational war vessel to use against his enemies if required.
- Dragon Fang: An item with the power to increase the strength of dragon related abilities.

Name: Diana Artemisia

Are you a boy, or a girl?: Girl

Age: 27

Personality: Diana Artemisia is the quintessential "smart kid". Cautious and always a step ahead, Diana sought to outperform her peers as she grew up. Growing up with two strict disciplinarians for parents, it's no surprise that she excelled in school as much as she did. Always striving to be the best, always stepping on the competition. That has been Diana's entire life. This doesn't mean she's heartless, though; Diana has a deep fondness for Pokemon, and she is actually very passionate about scholarly pursuits. She gives respect to those she deems worthy of it, and can be very lively despite her rigorous upbringing. Discussing topics she cares for can bring out excitement to the point of where she begins speaking faster than most can understand. Diana has a particular interest in Pokemon genetics, as well as military tactics and history; this has manifested in her having some significant battle prowess. Diana does indulge in some pride, though she knows better than to openly boast to people. Socially speaking, Diana is comfortable with people, though she would secretly rather be tending to her beloved Pokemon.

Skills: Wields a Yumi in combat, which is fitted with a Psychic gem that allows her to use ranged Psychic attacks, as well as allowing her to "aim" with her mind; while this takes more concentration, it allows for more deadly accuracy. Social skills from being raised among nobility. Intense studies have given her good knowledge of Johto history. Skill with archery while mounted.

History: Diana Artemisia grew up in a house of elite nobility. Her mother had complications giving birth, leaving Diana as her first and last child. As a result, heavy expectations were placed on Diana's shoulders from an early age as the sole heir to her parents' wealth and status. Diana's mother was more of an academic influence, while Diana's father-a general of the Johto army-introduced more military-centric interests in her. Through strict parenting, Diana became a combination of both. She excelled in school, due to the pressure she received from her parents to outshine her peers. When she wasn't studying, Diana was rigorously training under the supervision of her father. Not one for garish fighting up-close, Diana selected the Yumi as her weapon of choice. It allowed her to supervise her terrain more carefully while still damaging her opponent. Honing this skill over many years has given her great skill, increased further by her skill with Psychic-type attacks.

When she was 10, Diana's father gave her a gift: her first Pokemon, an Abra (though in the form of an egg). Part of Diana's training regimen became dedicated to caring for the egg. She was so devoted that she even took it to school with her, fearing for what might happen if she let it out of her sight. When the Abra hatched, she gave it the name Imperium, meaning power. While Diana was frustrated at first with her new Abra's lack of strength, some tough love eventually helped it become stronger. Carefully coordinated training helped the Abra evolve into a Kadabra, and eventually an Alakazam (though that came in Diana's adulthood). Upon showing that she was capable of properly tending to and caring for Pokemon, Diana's father gave her two more Pokemon to raise, descended from his own team of Pokemon: a Ghastly (that would eventually become a Gengar) and a Growlithe (that would eventually become an Arcanine).

Upon reaching the age of 18, Diana chose to follow in her father's footsteps and enter the military, though not in a typical position. She directly assisted her father, learning from him and his peers in the Johto military leadership. She rose to some prominence after her father retired, earning respect for her ability to balance military prowess and scholarly knowledge. Fiercely loyal to her home kingdom, Diana aims to serve her king as best she can. So when she was told to accompany Prince Hemlock on a conquest of Kanto, she obeyed without question, despite Prince Hemlock's...reputation for instability. Kanto was lazy; their king was on the verge of giving his land to his son, what better time to strike than now? Armed with her yumi, her Pokemon, and her wit, Diana set out to Kanto alongside the Prince and his army. This was her chance to finally exceed her parents' expectations, to cement a little place in history for herself.

Pokemon: An Alakazam named Imperium, a Gengar named Doctrina, and an Arcanine named Litera.

Equipment: A Yumi fitted with a Psychic gem that allows Diana to use ranged psychic attacks, a set of leather armor with steel plating over the chest, with a Mind Plate
at the center that creates her mental connection to her yumi. She also has a robe that she wears over her armor. 6 apriballs (only 3 are in use) and a large sum of money.
