Name:
Valeria Celes Tulalay

Nicknames:
Veeci (preferred nickname); Val (nickname given to her by her family)

Aliases:
Sinnoh League Champion; the Verdant Maiden

Age:
Twenty-six years old

Gender:
Female

Origin:
Snowpoint City, Sinnoh

Appearance:
Valeria is pretty tall, standing at 5'10 and bearing a sleek, slender body. Her blonde hair almost looks silver beneath direct light. She keeps it tied up in either buns, low-hanging pigtails (as seen in the picture above), or a braid. Her eyes are an amber-yellow color and change between the hues depending on the lighting. She prefers to wear pants, tee shirts, boots, jackets, and other such things rather than frilly dresses, skirts, or gowns.

Personality:
Valeria likes to think of herself as a calm and collected person who tries to keep herself in check. She may be friendly when approached, but she prefers to stay to herself and Pokemon. It's not like she's shy or has low self-esteem; Valeria is a very confident and headstrong person overall. Despite being an admirable role model, she sometimes gets flustered and overwhelmed by certain things, adding to a deep-brewed, broiling temper that seethes under a cool aura. It's when Valeria is deathly quiet that one must watch their step around her, lest they want an earful.

Short Biography:
From the age of six, Valeria knew that she was going to become a Pokemon Trainer. Pokemon and her always seemed to have an easy time in forming bonds. She used to venture out into the woods with her mother and father in order to camp and sight-see. Even though Snowpoint was a desolate stretch of blizzard and mountain range, she saw the natural beauty in the world and in the creatures that inhabited it. She played with the smaller, more tender wild Pokemon throughout her early childhood. One day, she came across an injured Eevee as she explored the outskirts of Snowpoint. She took it in and nurtured it back to health, although when it was strong enough to venture out into the wild, the Eevee decided to stay with her.

Said Eevee was her first companion when she first set out on her journey at age 12. Throughout the years, she acquired the eight badges needed in order to take on the Elite Four and Champion. She tried (and failed) several times to overcome the Elite Four and Champion before she was able to succeed. She became the Sinnoh League Champion at twenty years of age.

Pokemon:


Summary:

Name: Bryan Weaver

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Origin: Twinleaf Town

Appearance: See the attached picture

Personality: He’s cocky, there’s no getting around that and it’s best to just spell it out plain and simple just like this. He has a habit of pulling out the impossible at the last second, and bringing home the w, almost every time. He acts the way he does because he works hard and it pays off in the end.

Even so, sometimes he can come off as a bit of a prick mcasshole. It has to do with the aggression behind his choice of words, and general tone of voice.

Must be that pride.

Short Biography: A trainer from Twinleaf who has spent his whole life being one step ahead of his eternal rival, Jackson Drake. Following a successful venture through the Sinnoh Region, Bryan spent a good chunk of his life traveling the world before accepting an offer to join the Sinnoh Pokémon League’s Elite, as the Champion Consort, a title he doesn’t fully understand.

After over a decade of training and traveling, some(well, mostly one) of Bryan’s main team consider this position and title a retirement. Their trainer is not in accord with them.

Name: Wren Delgado

Nicknames: Wren

Aliases: Sinnoh's Punk Rock Princess; Wren the Winning Warbling Warrior Woman

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Origin: Hearthome City

Appearance: Wren's hair used to be a nice, refined dark brown but after an incident involving hair coloring she's got faded red tips that she can't exactly be bothered to maintain which makes her short, oft unkempt, hair a unique blend of, as she puts it 'chocolate and cherry'. It works for her. Kind of. Mostly. She's rather short, which doesn't help her blend in as an actual adult, standing at just around 5'4" and that's with tiptoes. Her style tends to be black t-shirts (with cute characters on them that she swears aren't cute), skirts, and black boots (with pink laces...it's a look, shut up). Her style shies more towards 'chic punk for posers' than out and out punk as she claims but...again, it's a look.

Personality: First things first, no matter what someone might say Wren wants everyone to know that she is absolutely not 'cute'. She's 'cool'. She's 'punk'. She's 'tough'. Any other descriptor and she's likely to puff her cheeks, stomp her foot, pout her lips, and march off - often while plugging her ears - in order to sulk in her room until someone came in with an apology sweet (cake, specifically gateau, being her favorite). It's often difficult to take Wren seriously no matter how she tries to be taken as such, because, inadvertently or otherwise, she doesn't come off as 'cool, hip, punk rocker' but as 'teenager going through a phase but not really'. This makes her either incredibly annoying - particularly when she has to raise her voice (which is often, sometimes just for fun) - or too precious and adorable. It's the latter that Wren is trying, and failing, to do away with. She's cool, okay? She's the coolest and the punk rockiest and it shows in her style and her Pokemon!

Just because she might act like a little teenage rebel doesn't mean she is one. She's a little adult rebel!

Short Biography: Though Wren was born in Hearthome City she considers herself something of a world traveler, having been to many different regions which might be seen as remarkable only because of her comparatively young age. However, the reason for her travels was less a journey of discovery or traveling across the land, searching far and wide for the power that's inside but rather because she and some friends decided the best way to make it in the highly competitive industry of music and Pokemon was to do a world tour...to whichever venues would accept them! Wren, before becoming Elite, was a musician first and a trainer second. She was the vocalist and bassist for a very 'garage punk' band that called themselves 'Purrloin's Nasty Plot' up until they decided that 'Absol-ute Territories' was more fitting and slightly more clever.

The band was hardly an international hit, though they did manage to produce one album that charted...just barely, and radio play became a thing once Wren became more known as a trainer than a musician - but by that point the band had split over 'creative differences' which was a fancy way of saying 'everyone else wanted to mature their musical artistry while Wren still just wanted to play loud and fast'. It worked out well enough; having been in the band since she was fourteen and living the punk lifestyle, Wren focused her efforts to battling instead. Even when she was in a band, they would have battles between sets or before encores (not their encore, they were barely an opening act most times!), and Wren won far, far more often than she lost. She just had a weird knack for it, aided probably by her thinking of battles as concerts with her opponent being the crowd who wanted nothing more than to go home amped up. It made more sense in her head. Regardless, with her unique style and approach to both battling and team selection, Wren has proven herself to be a capable battler when she wants to be, enough so that, even with her young age, she is one of the newest members of Sinnoh's Elite.

And no, punk is not dead, it lives on in Wren who is absolutely sure it's not a phase.

His skin is somewhat tanned white skin, and he has dark brown eyes. He has sleek jet black hair usually sleeked backward. His right eye has a scar going the upper part of his eye to the bottom part of his cheek a scar from a incident with a wild pokemon. His face is sleek but sharp on the edges.

Personality: Nick is an ever realest who always seeks to be as straight forward as possible. He doesn't mince words, nor does he care for people who try to use social status, gender, or otherwise as an excuse for any behavior. He fights, and lives with the brutally efficient straight forward approach. If you do something to wrong someone else, or try to use anything as an excuse he will not buy it.

He believes everyone is held accountable for their actions, including himself, though he outwardly projects charisma, confidence, and often calls people by pet names he's inwardly narcissistic, and holds a dark view on life.

He respects people who work hard, and don't hide behind false pretenses. He respects the law however, and isn't prone to breaking it unless he thinks its for a good reason. He often calls people by pet, or nicknames based on what he thinks about their personality often in a teasing fashion such as calling a rich person 'ruffles', or a happy person 'smiles'. He loves his pokemon and they mean the absolute world to him. He trains them as hard as he trains himself mentally, and physically. He stays in shape, and isn't often found slacking.

He is quick to react, and to give orders not perturbed by even the scariest of happenings. He has an iron will shaped by his unwillingness to fall back into that pit he lived in as a child. In summary he is a man who sees the world for what it is, doesn't apologize for being straight forward in serious situations, but cares deeply for the weak, his pokemon, and people he thinks are worthy of respecting. Refusing to tolerating self pity, selfish behavior, or willing ignorance.

Short Biography: While he was born in Castelia City young Nick was hardly set up for a life of opulence. Living in the impoverished section of the city. His parents struggled to get by financially and with little other choice did all they could to support themselves, and their son. However his parents weren't always on the best of terms, and often argued with each other leaving the young Nick with little to do other than wander the city eventually he settled in with a not so nice group of friends who he relied on for issues as a young kid. He was too young to be involved in anything dangerous but he did tend to get a lot of judgmental looks from the more well off members of the city whenever he went out with them. It made him uncomfortable to the point where he was determined not get those looks ever again. Sick of other people viewing him as lesser, or as a problem. It was around the time he turned ten that he was lucky enough to get a pokemon from a travelling pokemon professor from Johto. He received his first friend in Tediursa who he would rely on for many things in the future.

Having little else to do with his life in his home town young Nick set out on his journey with his father's blessing, his own mother did not approve but he didn't care at the point and set out to train with his new buddy in tow. The early years were hard he lived off wild berries, and took odd jobs in small towns to obtain food for himself, and his pokemon. He also made sure to take care of his pokemon when he couldn't find a nearby pokemon center using potions, and other items others were kind enough to spare to him. As it turned out however Nick found out he seemed to have a knack for training, and battling with his pokemon. Pushing himself, and them to grow quick in order to get an edge up on the world at large. As he grew older he grew smarter, and learned better techniques to further his party's abilities. Between his street smarts, and his capability to give well thought out commands to his pokemon he slowly grew a reputation for being a talented trainer. Eventually he took up a trainee job under a gym leader in a small town to gather up connections, and earn money to travel elsewhere. It was a nice job, and the gym leader kind he enjoyed his time there to an extent but he found it limiting despite finally having a stable home.

After believing his job was finished in the gym and he could not obtain anything more there he left. Nick spent the rest of his teenage years travelling the world as an ever wayward bound trainer. He traveled to many of the various regions not competing in gyms often but training his new friends, and old. He steadily caught pokemon he liked the spirit of, or those who showed moxie. He earned his name on his diligent training of his pokemon making sure each one was properly ready for battle ignoring not a single member of his team. Nick grew good at lying to hide his more pessimistic, and gloomy side learning how to be able to smile, and chat with others with a grin on his face, and a quip on the ready. Some may have called it a mask but he was good at maintaining it. Though he wasn't famous anyone who battled him, or saw his pokemon knew he was a serious threat as with each defeat they worked on the weaknesses displayed in that battle. He never blamed his pokemon for losses just chalking those defeats up to experiences yet to be learned to grow you needed to learn from failures.

For a time he took a real job with the pokemon police after he was approached by a Detective in Sinnoh. Nick had taken care of some issues with the police in his travels and name was known among some of the police's more active international officers. He helped quell unrest, and acted as a mole in small gangs, and helping with quarrels between trainers on the side as well. At this point he quickly became recognized within the police force stationed in Sinnoh. It was for for his decisive choice making on the fly with a level head that didn't lead to brash choices. When he saw a threat he'd take it down, and he'd do so brutally while others may have hesitated. He made no reservations about any of his opponents if they broke the law they got taken down no matter their age, gender, or identity.

It may have caused issues in some cases but the higher ups at the very least needed officers willing to act when the need arouse. He was a controversial figure within the ranks but at the same time he listened to orders, and tried to do his job to the best of his ability. He left the police force however a few years ago, mostly due to him feeling like he wasn't experiencing what he wanted with his life and went back to wandering around Sinnoh. During his travels his name was put up due to his performance as a trainer, as well as his reputation of holding stellar group of well trained pokemon. Nick was asked to join the Elite Four which he accepted after short deliberations hoping it to be a more satisfying job than his previous ones, and hoping to fight some strong new trainers.

Pokemon: Ikkou's Pokémon have a spiritual or mythological flair to them. Their battling style relies mostly on confusing the opponent with non-damaging moves such as status effects, weather changing, healing, obstruction, etc. They're quite the bunch, but sometimes they do manage to have some synergy with each other.

Name: Robyn Marie Springs

Nicknames: Springs

Aliases: The Dancing Queen, Breaker of Souls, The Block-Rocker

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Origin: Castelia City, Unova

Appearance: Robyn stands at 5'9", and weighs 118 lbs. She is of African-American descent, her skin is a light brown, and she has light brown eyes that some swear shine gold in the moonlight. She wears her purple-sheened black hair pulled back in a ponytail that ends at her shoulder blades, but leaves the bangs hanging out front. She has tattoos of the Chinese symbols for determination and dance on the lower left and right sides of her back, and she has a large scar on her right leg, around the knee.

Her outfits consist of a variety of plain low-cut t-shirts, zipper up hooded sweatshirts with a variety of graffiti-styled designs on them, shorts that barely go halfway down her thighs and tights that cover up the rest of her lower body. The constants in her outfit are a bright orange scrunchie that she uses to keep her ponytail in place and a gold plated chain carrying a pendant with an aquamarine stone set inside of it.

Personality: Robyn has a tendency to be a little bit ditzy in social situations, but that doesn't hamper her energy levels. She's still willing to give as much as she can to whatever cause she sets her mind to, be it making a sandwich or being a Pokémon League champion. However, that raw passion can get it into a lot of trouble at times, as she tries to step beyond her limits or into situations she doesn't really understand. Luckily there isn't much that meets that criteria anymore.

The other side to her passion means that she is quick to learn whatever she can about the field she is in. It was how she was able to become so good at crew dancing in a relatively short amount of time, and why she is relatively knowledgeable on Pokémon in Unova and Alola. She is quick to share info with whoever is around, even if they don't ask for it. This also means that she is not very good at keeping secrets. In her blonder or drunker moments, she'll be blurting out confidential information without realizing it.

Short Biography: Robyn was a dancer for most of her life, starting in ballet as a child, before joining a street crew at the age of 13. She was good, able to do aerial moves that most of the other dancers could only dream. Her crew, Rock Steady, scored an audition for Unova's Got Talent. However, during the audition, Robyn was thrown incorrectly and landed hard on the concrete, shattering her right knee and breaking both her wrists. Her parents couldn't afford the proper surgery and as such, her dancing career was over at 18.

Rehab sucked, and Robyn repeatedly grew frustrated until one day she ran away from home into Pinwheel Forest. There she found a battered Petilil that she took back to Castelia to heal. She was going to bring it back to its home, but instead ended up keeping the newly-christened Nina. Her friends and family convinced her to take on the Unova League challenge to try and earn the money to pay for the necessary surgeries to fully fix her leg. Robyn had nothing to lose so she tried. She didn't lose. She won the championship with Nina dancing past the competition with ease. The Elite Four was no match for the Flowering Pokemon. Robyn had enough money for surgery and enough to take a trip after.

The Castelia City native headed to Alola after that, desiring a tropical paradise and a new challenge. She worked her way through the trials there and soon reached the summit of the Alola League as well. She was seemingly unstoppable. The Alolans wanted her to stay as champion, but she was only a tourist. She returned to Unova and was approached to become a member of their Elite Four, if not a Champion contender along with Iris. She accepted this offer and settled in as a daunting opponent for anyone looking to try and come for her throne. With Sinnoh looking for substitute members to rotate through it's Elite Four, Robyn is playing tourist again as she headed to the Northern lands.
