A year ago, when Professor Sycamore was still in the Pokemon World, the two of them had a talk. Quite unlike himself, Kukui seemed scared, mostly scared that he might disappear next. It wasn't the dissapearing part that upset him so much, it was the leaving his home. So when Sycamore arrived on Earth and was found by Professor Oak; he spoke of their conversation. This actually made things easier, because when Kukui arrived on Earth, his new lab was already set up in Hawaii.

At the time, he only had Pikachu with him. So like he had done many times before, he had to start from scratch. At first, he treated this like any other adventure, but he soon realized a scary fact: he couldn't call home. Somehow Professor Oak had been transported here as well, but not his mother. He is constantly searching for a way back home, but when the yearly storm rolls in he also holds onto hope that maybe his mother will be brought here this time.

[b]Biography:[/b] Brooke started watching Pokemon when she was five years old and never stopped. When she was seven years old, Pokemon Go launched in 2016. She didn't have her own smartphone at the time, but her older brother did, and he let her tag along when he went out to play. When she turned 10, her parents gave her a phone as well. She treated it like her very own Pokedex. From then on, she wouldn't go a week (and sometimes even a day) without playing the game. She became a popular YouTube personality when she was 18 and started traveling the world playing Pokemon GO. For extra cash, she developed websites and edited other people's videos, as well as product promotions on her YouTube channel of course. When Pokemon arrived in the world in 2030, she was super excited. Only, she wasn't accepted into the trainer program for some reason. This not only upset her but also her followers. She wouldn't continue to persistently apply as often as the rules would allow. One year later, she was finally accepted into the program. She's been a full-time trainer for the last five years, and is an even bigger hit on social media. [b]Inventory: N/A for NPCs[/b] [b]Pokemon: Brooke is constantly switching out her Pokemon and claims to love them all equally.[/b] [/hider] [hider=Max] [b]Age:[/b] Appears to be 10 [b]Home Town:[/b] Petalburg City, Hoenn [b]Rank:[/b] C [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/6e7b6c2f-f1c9-4fd2-8a86-f7bd2cb61dbd.png[/img] [b]Personality:[/b] Max has matured a lot over the years. He is confident, but still cautious and calculating at times. [b]Biography:[/b] Max had been waiting patiently for the day he could finally become a trainer. When that day arrived, he quickly choose a Mudkip as his starter from the fill-in professor (since Professor Birch had vanished some time ago). With his new Mudkip in tow, he sprinted to go find the Ralts that he befriended so long ago. He didn't have to go far, because Ralts was waiting for him just outside Littleroot Town. The two had remained close over the years, and the Ralts had been counting down the days just as much as Max had been. So without a struggle at all, Max held out a Pokeball and caught Raltz. That's when a strange cloud covered the sky and a bolt of purple lightning struck the ground nearby. This caused Max to flinch. When he opened his eyes, he was here on Earth. This was the most recent storm that brought generation 7 Pokemon to Earth. [b]Inventory: N/A for NPCs[/b] [b]Pokemon: Max only has his Mudkip and Ralts.[/b] [/hider]
