[b]Background:[/b] Professer Fern was a normal young man that, like many others had a love of pokemon. At a young age he went through school to become a pokemon Professer, but that was not meant to be. Drafted into the Pokemon War with his HootHoot, he and his beloved freind fought for years alongside one another until the war ended. He finished his schooling after travelling the world, but once again just before he could call himself a pokemon professer war was standing at his doorstep. Instead of being drafted, Fern and his HootHoot volunteered, becoming an invaluable combat medic and scouting pokemon duo. After a battle that left Fern with a permenant limp in his right leg and took away HootHoot's left eye, but caused it's evolution into Noctowl, the pair decided it was high time they get back to the quieter lifestyle of a professer, or so they thought. 

Where everyone else had been using children or mass amounts of techology to study pokemon so that they may stay hidden safe in their labs, Fern opted for a more hands on approach that meant he never had time enough to set up proper roots in any region, let alone get his own deticated labratory. He was more like a trainer in those days, exploring and capturing pokemon that caught his eye, as well as simply studying those he found. 

Now, after years of his life spent on study and war, Fern has spent a large amount of his funding and own money on the cruise for young trainers that is now beginning in Slateport City, in the Hoenn region. Though he is a bit rough around the edges and difficult to get along with, he really does care for the young just as much as any of the other professors. Any young or new trainers who find themselves aboard the ship all have a chance to get their hands on a pokemon caught by Professor Fern, because in his opinion, life without a Pokemon, a Freind, is no life at all.

[b]Name:[/b] Ramona Ridges
[b]Age:[/b] 17
[b]Birthdate:[/b] August 7
[b]Birthplace: [/b] Pyrite Town
[b]Pokemon:[/b]  Quagsire, Swellow, Pinsir, Hariyama, Torkoal (5)

[b]Backstory:[/b] Ramona is a very determined and driven individual, if not a little ditzy in her endeavors. When she was eleven she obtained her first Pokemon from Desmond's father: A Wooper. Using this armless little derp, Ramona traveled all around Orre, collecting data on Pokemon for the Professor since his son was such a shut-in. She met him once, but that was it. Maybe she caught occasional glances of him when she was at the lab? Even her memory wasn't that great.

Her travels across Orre gathered plenty of data on the region for the Professor, so by the time Desmond decided to leave, Ramona had already been a trainer for almost 5 years. Now that the Professor was satisfied with Orre, it was time for her to pursue a new region and perform new research: She's boarding a ship to head out to sea, to wherever adventure the waves intend on taking her to. To her surprise, apparently the Professor's son was actually coming along: A complete rookie! 

She felt a bit competitive. Sure, he was a newbie... But she didn't want to lose out to him in what she considered the research race! He might not have known it, but he already had [b][s]2[/s][/b] powerful rivals from the beginning...[/Hider]

[b]-Background-[/b]
Much like Yui Richard was born in Sootopolis City, in the Hoenn region. Though unlike Yui, he kept both parents while growing up and was able to begin his adventure at age 11 when his mother gifted him a pokemon gained from another region from one of her trips. This, coupled with his close living to Yui, made them close rivals. He knew very well that Yui was unable to start her pokemon adventure and went out of his way to sent her and her father updates on his adventures, further angering Yui and cementing his place solidly as her rival. 

Like his parents, he traveled the regions, though not before traveling through Hoenn. Currently he resides in Castelia City in the Unova Region, mostly due to the fact he gained word from his father about a cruise for young Pokemon Trainers, and that Yui would soon be there. He had originally missed the boat's first landing, but was ready and waiting for it's second, wondering if he would be able to catch a glimpse of his rival on the boat if she did not disembark.
