Fifteen years after the events surrounding the mysterious Ultra Beasts and Necrozma, the islands of Alola have once again become a place of peaceful paradise to people and Pokemon alike. Sun and surf entice and delight as nature and beauty abound, and the people feel a deep sense of gratitude to the island's protectors and Kahunas alike. The humble Trainer's School, after it was revealed that the first-ever Champion trained there, saw great acclaim and success in the years following those events, and today stands as the proud Pokemon Academy! Within its halls, young Trainers and their Pokemon learn to battle, live, and grow alongside one another. Many of the school's alumni have gone on to become gym leaders, veteran trainers, and even famous coordinators after their years of study here! And it is the continued hope of the academy's headmaster, Marshall Kentrick, that the next class will be even greater!
But not all is well under the Alolan skies. Sightings of the Tapu, the guardians of Alola, have grown fewer and further between. Wild Pokemon grow restless and agitated, as though fearful of a coming storm. What could these grim tidings mean? What fate awaits Alola and those who dwell upon her? And who is the mysterious figure that's been sighted across the islands? This year, the students face much greater trials...
Welcome to the Pokemon Academy! Students will be moving into the dormitories located on campus, and each day they'll take part in classes meant to test them, encourage their growth, and deepen the understanding between trainers and their partners! And of course, there are mysterious happenings to investigate that could change the entire fate of Alola! Or at the very least, make it quite hard to study for your next exam!
This RP is going to be by Application. Those who wish to join should submit their character sheet in the appropriate tab. Please note that not everyone who applies will be chosen to join; I can only DM for so many people at once! Nevertheless, I hope this will be an enjoyable roleplay for everyone involved!
Gotcha. Definitely more inclined to go for that role then.
By all means! Just bear in mind that applications for a Professor position will receive a bit more scrutiny, given they'll be required to write their own material for classes and such. If you're okay with that, I absolutely encourage you to go for it!
Think this'll do it. If there's any issues or anything needs expanding, let me know.
"'Creepy Bug Girl'?! Why, you..!"
-NAME-
"Alola! I'm Kanoa! Last name, Makamae. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
-AGE-
"I'm twelve years old!"
-GENDER-
"Wha--?! Something weird about girls liking bugs, for you to ask that?!"
-REGION OF ORIGIN-
"Born and raised in Alola, that's me!"
-ROLE-
"I'm a recent student addition to the academy!"
-PERSONALITY-
"I'm the adventurous sort! I like getting into the mix, exploring the wild, and encountering new things! While I'm not fearless, I'm pretty brave. Especially if someone is in trouble that I can help; I'd never leave anyone behind! While I'm maybe not leader material, I will speak my mind and offer an opinion on a situation for the sake of being beneficial instead of a nuisance. Generally, I dislike real conflict between people and steer to try and keep everyone from fighting if a situation needs to be defused. Though. I have a bit of a temper too, when insulted...
While I have my adventurous side, I also don't mind staying at home or in school. I'm pretty booksmart and I like to show it; Not disrespecting my teachers, instead trying to impress them to aid in finding my own personal success. Instead of reckless action I tend to think things through instead of running in without a plan; This goes both for general life and battling.
Speaking of battling... I like it! I'm competitive, though I dislike the idea of my Pokemon getting terribly injured. Their pain raises insecurities in me, but I try to understand their limits and teach them my own. While losing can be fun and a learning experience, nothing tastes quite as good as a win to me. Despite what I said about losing, victory allows me to prove myself and move forward. I want to be the best I can be, to impress those around me, and to satisfy myself.
I have fears, too. Big Pokemon can be really scary in the wild, and I don't want to be considered a failure in any regard. The last thing I want to do is let someone down, and when it happens, it really bothers me.
I have a few problems here and there with people. I don't like people who mistreat their Pokemon, for an obvious one. If you bully others you aren't worth my time; Except to chew you out for being so horrible to other people! It gets on my nerves really bad, along with big-egos and people who tease me just to be mean. Sometimes when my insecurities are picked at, I feel the need to go and justify it immediately even if it makes me act out of line so I can prove a point. When angry or worried I mumble, ramble, and generally find myself unable to stop talking to a potentially annoying degree.
Generally, I'm friendly if not a little wary, kind of like a bug. I attempt to keep polite and when I see it possible, I like to provide small trivia or facts in my conversations. The more I stress, the faster I talk. I'm also tired a lot of the time, just from studying late or going out to do my own little adventures; So coffee is essentially my fuel source and happiness aside from friends and family."
-HISTORY-
"I grew up in Paniola Town on Akala Island! My mom and papa are ranchers; I spent plenty of days helping my papa work on the ranch, like milking Miltanks or shaving the Mareep! But my interests were never really in all of that: Instead, I was interested in running around and finding bugs hiding in corners of the ranch! I found my buddy Mele in the trees close to my home; Must've creeped from Lush Jungle or something.
He fell out of a tree and startled me! But he seemed hurt, so I brought him home. He pricked me a few times, but papa fixed me up and then we helped Mele get better. Eventually he started to not be so prickly; And we ended up as great friends! My papa gave me a Pokeball and let me try to catch him; And it went over well! While I wasn't a full-trainer, I was getting there; And I wanted to continue on the path of an adventurer rather than being a farm girl!
I occasionally went out with some of the older boys to explore outside of town; Papa even bought a few Pokeballs for me so I could maybe try to catch more Pokemon. Over my little trips me and Mele managed to catch a Dewpider and a Joltik; Named Kaleho and Kaipo respectively. I had my own little band of buggy friends, and while some of the boys made fun of me for not varying my types, it wasn't a concern of mine: They were my friends! I wouldn't want to chose them just over convenience, I remember something I saw on TV; It was a quote from an Elite 4 member of another region...
Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites.
Well, my bugs were my favorites! I wouldn't abandon them; And I wanted to find more bug friends, too! And become a strong trainer with them to prove those boys that friendship was more important than careful selection! I asked my papa to let me enroll at the Pokemon Academy so I could learn to be a real trainer. He was reluctant at first, but eventually, he let me enroll. Now I'm excitedly heading towards beginning my classes; And I can't wait to see what kind of people and Pokemon I meet!"
PARTNER POKEMON -MELE / FERROSEED-
Male Iron Barbs Pin Missile, Gyro Ball, Self-Destruct, Ingrain "Mele is a bit rough around the edges but he's really sweet once you befriend him. He was my first Pokemon, and he's my most trusted friend. He has this bad habit of using the move 'Self-Destruct', though. And it worries me, because I don't let him getting hurt!"
-KALEHO / DEWPIDER-
Male Water Bubble Infestation, Bug Bite, Bubblebeam, Spider Web "Kaleho was my first ever catch with my partner: It was a rough battle, but we came out on top and captured him! He's a bit jumpy, but generally he's a reliable addition to my team. Occasionally he foams bubbles when he's happy."
-KAIPO / JOLTIK-
Female Compound Eyes Electro Ball, Thunder Wave, Electroweb, Signal Beam "Kaipo was the second catch of my short training career; And she's rowdy! She zapped me and Mele more than I'd like to admit, but eventually she gave out and I got a capture! She's a bit stubborn with me, but she's by far the bravest Pokemon on my team! She'll rush in even against a bigger opponent, and i know I can rely on her!"
Here is an Arts and Music Instructor for your consideration, @Gliding Snake.
Eric Delanoe
Gender: Male | Age: 29 Region of Origin: Kalos Role: Professor of Arts and Music
Personality: Eric comes off as what one could call a "princely" type. He is extremely polite, chivalrous, and gentle. He is good at singing and dancing, particularly the waltz, and he has at least some talent at sketching. Oh, and he's very handsome too. All of this he practiced over and over as a professional coordinator, and even though he is no longer on the stage he still retains his manners in daily life. He is a calm, understanding person that prefers to sort things out with words rather than battles, and it takes quite a lot to make him raise his voice in anger. His friendly personality and his tendency to genuinely listen to others, even taking children seriously, makes him quite popular with female students and staff - and of course, some males too. When learning something new for the first time, he tends to fall back on corny jokes - a trait he developed while teaching as it made the students groan and giggle. His first time learning Hula was a particularly memorable experience. Being a trained actor, it's extremely hard to get Eric flustered - but if one managed to succeed, they'd find his blush would cover his whole face and he'd become just a little uncharacteristically clumsy.
Bio:
Kalos - a region of beautiful landscapes, culture, and people - was a very nice place for children to grow up. For Eric this held true. He had a very calm childhood growing up in Aquacorde Town with his parents and younger sister, Natalie. However, as his friends and neighbors got older, growing more and more excited at the prospect of beginning their own Pokémon journeys, Eric couldn't share their enthusiasm. Like many other regions, in Kalos Pokémon were a part of daily life. You saw them every day in person and on television. Most appliances, products, and even food had the faces of cute Pokémon mascots slapped onto them. By the time Eric was old enough to meet with the region's professor and go off on his own, he was kind of... bored of Pokémon.
Instead, what Eric really liked were the trainers behind their Pokémon. Powerful Pokémon trainers were trendsetters, celebrities, politicians and all around superstars. They were award-winning athletes that ran beside monsters. They were also accomplished actors and performers, commanding the stage as popular coordinators. It were the coordinators that Eric took special interest in most of all, and instead of setting out on a journey to become a Pokémon trainer, he set his sights on the stage. He worked hard on his appearance, wardrobe, manners, and stage presence. Eventually he became a very talented coordinator, but there was one problem - he didn't have any Pokémon. Now a few years older than ten, Eric still hadn't captured a single Pokémon. Although he didn't hate them, he just hadn't felt attached to any. He recognized that the creatures were strong and magical in their own ways, but he still didn't feel anything special about them. In order not to squander his talent, a sponsor Eric had picked up let the young man "rent" Pokémon for performances. Pairing Eric, the coordinator prodigy, with trained stage Pokémon turned out to be a good move - Eric's performances won multiple ribbons and awards, got raving good reviews, and he became one of the most popular coordinators in Kalos. With his new found fame, Eric traveled overseas to Hoenn and Unova, quickly becoming a sensation.
It was when Eric made a visit to Alola to put on a small performance for fans in the region did his perception of Pokémon begin to change. Alola was unlike any of the regions he had visited before. The people and Pokémon in Alola worked and lived together in a way they didn't in other regions. Even the wild Pokémon in the area seemed to have their niche in society, and most of all the Pokémon of Alola looked happy and free. From being showered with Comfey upon his arrival to watching a pair of Litten play together as he departed, Eric very slowly began to realize exactly why Pokémon were so captivating the world over.
Returning to Kalos after his tour, Eric began keeping a closer eye on all the Pokémon he came across. They were beautiful in their own ways, unlike the ones in Alola but not all that different either. Eric's position on Pokémon wouldn't change completely until he met his future partner Pokémon - Andie, a Brionne. They met during a charity event held at an aquarium. Long after the cameras, diners, and event hosts left, Eric remained in front of her glass tank. He was mesmerized by her beautiful underwater dance, and she too was very happy to have an audience that truly appreciated her. It was the first time Eric had ever felt Yes, I want to preform with this Pokémon.
The coordinator paid a hefty sum to buy Andie from the aquarium. Together, they went on to win many more contests, all the while Eric promised to show the Brionne her home region of Alola, where she'd been taken from as a newborn Popplio. A few years down the road and with an extra friend in tow, Eric returned to Alola. As Andie swam in the region's warm waters, further and further out to sea, Eric was suddenly struck with a heartbreaking thought: what if she didn't come back? This was the moment that Eric truly understood those feelings his childhood friends had, and that nearly all people in the world shared. Life was better lived with Pokémon. Of course, Andie did come back, and as she leapt out of the sea into Eric's arms she evolved into a Primarina, toppling them both over. They laughed together and Eric decided there to retire from his busy, celebrity life of coordinating to try and help people discover what they loved about Pokémon sooner than he did.
It's been two years since Eric signed on with the Pokémon Academy as an instructor. He still isn't much of a battler, instead he teaches students about coordinators and the arts in general. He also helps the shier students with public speaking. He doesn't hide the fact that he used to be pretty famous overseas, but he doesn't go out of his way to bring it up either - besides, even the most famous coordinator would never be as well-known as the most famous Pokémon trainer. Still, he sends souvenirs, photos and autographs back to his sister in Kalos for fans in want of them. He still has a few fans here in Alola, but so far there haven't been any issues. Eric loves his new job and is looking forward to many more years at the Academy.
Pokémon
Coming from a background as a coordinator, Eric's team isn't very battle-focused at all. In fact, some of the Pokémon on his team haven't battled even once before. Despite that, Eric and his Pokémon have a close bond formed through mutual understanding and respect. All of Eric's team assist in his work in some way, whether it be during classes, cleaning around the Academy, or helping to look after the younger children and Pokémon. Each Pokémon on Eric's team specializes in a specific "art" to help augment Eric's more general arts know how.
Andie ♀ The Primarina Nature: Bold Ability: Liquid Voice Moves: Round, Sing, Sparkling Aria, Dazzling Gleam Bio: Andie has utterly adored Eric since they met. They have such a strong friendship that it's a popular school rumor that they can communicate telepathically. Although Eric's attention is all she really needs, Andie does like being pampered by others. She is well looked after and a stunning specimen of a Primarina - and Andie knows and flaunts this when she's in a playful mood. Her beautiful voice is the envy of many Pokémon - and some people!
Ludwig ♂ The Kricketune Nature: Jolly Ability: Swarm Moves: Round, X-Scissor, Bug Buzz, Sing Bio: The musical-expert of the team. He has an excellent ear and can replicate almost any tune after hearing it only once. Ludwig is quite big for his species, about a foot taller than most and very well fed. He is a bit if a gourmet and younger Academy students he befriends need to be discouraged from becoming picky eaters like him. Eric met him after adopting Andie but before leaving Kalos, encountering the Pokémon playing a melancholy tune alone one night. After several nights of the same sad song being played, Eric figured the Bug-type was lonely and took him in.
Franklin ♂ The Smeargle Nature: Serious Ability: Own Tempo Moves: Sketch Bio: The fine art-expert of the team. Franklin takes his work very seriously and spends most of his time at the Academy meticulously fixing up classrooms or cleaning up after one of his or his students "art sessions." The after school art club's "art sessions" consist of about 20% still life studies and 80% flinging chalk, inks and paints around the room and hoping more of it ends on the canvas than each other. Franklin enjoys being taken seriously and often acts as Eric's teaching assistant even when the lesson is focusing on music or dance. If he is ignored for too long he has a tendency to get temperamental. He and Eric actually met at the Academy - Franklin being a wild Pokémon that was tolerated on campus. After bonding, Franklin consented to becoming part of the instructor's team.
Mai'a ♀ The Oricorio Nature: Relaxed Ability: Dancer Moves: Revelation Dance, Feather Dance, Teeter Dance, Roost Bio: The dance-expert of the team. Mai'a loves napping, lounging and sunbathing. She never helps out with chores unless asked a few times. Although she might seem lazy to those that don't know her, she loves exercising and, of course, dancing. When she isn't asleep, she can usually be found running around with students in the gym or on the track field. Although skilled in many forms of dance, she prefers the Hula. It also happens that her favorite flower nectar is the pink variety. She and Eric met during a class field trip when the students kept feeding wild Pokémon to get them to follow the group. Mai'a was one of those Pokémon and couldn't be scared off by the instructor. When Mai'a followed the group all the way back to the Academy, fell asleep in the classroom, and didn't leave the next day, it was clear she wasn't going anywhere.
I started on it right after I posted in the interest check though. Really all I had to add in was the role/Region of origin stuff and finish up the Pokemon.
Eric's neat. I like the coordinator approach; And his team is themed nicely as well. The name Ludwig is funny to me because I have a character in another RP with that name, lol.
You may known me if this isn't your first year at the Academy because I have reached my final year as a student, just one more to go. As beautiful as these islands are, after graduating I will probably return to Johto and save our family bussiness before my brother ruins it and gives our mother a heart attack.
As my teachers will confirm, I am an excellent student. If you hear anything different, it are merely weak attempts to discredit my name.
While I can certainly always appreciate the use of Karma as a character, students are not allowed to carry evolved Pokemon. Additionally, your profile is rather bare. I'd suggest reconsidering who you want in your character and how you want to express that, then try again.
Combat mechanics are still a WIP. I'm trying to find a way to simplify the existing battle system from the games. I can confirm for certain that it will center around dice rolls and modifiers.
After lengthy consideration of your application and your answers to the questions I asked, I am happy to say that your application has officially been accepted! Please add Eric to the Characters tab!
Appearance Name: Fang Shi Age: 15 Region of Origin: Johto Role: Student
Personality: Fang Shi is a gentle and fragile soul. She is easy to upset and is quite the scaredy-cat. She would much rather sulk about in a dimly lit room than risk the dangers of the open grass. However due to the fact she is an easy to rile up scaredy cat, Fang Shi can and will fight back with the determination of a corned animal until escape or victory arrives. She truly wishes to be a Sage like her father and his father before him and so on. As such Fang tries to keep a graceful composure about her to prop up the image that she can be a stoic Sage. Fang Shi can get engrossed in several hobbies, such as practicing rhythmic movements, poetry and prefers to do so than deal with others. However if a social situation is unavoidable she will try to keep things short and simple on her part while trying to weasel her way out of it.
Bio: Fang Shi was born in Violet City to one of the many Sages of Sprout Tower. Here Fang Shi was secluded from much of the city as she was taught the importance of balance, both the literal meaning due to tower shaking and from a more metaphorical point of living in harmony. She took well to these lessons, getting a glimpse of the importance and significance of the world, and felt that she would be able to continue the life of a Sage.
And that is when she was jumped by a Rattata. While she managed to catch it before it did damage to her, the event traumatized her. Namely she didn’t wish to go towards the door or enter the city proper. Fang devoted herself further into her studies and began to develop a greater bond with the Ratatta. Her father knew she needed some Bellsprout to truly study like they did and tried to gently coax her out of the tower. The Shi daughter did not budge. Eventually she had to be dragged out, while kicking and screaming by her father, outside not only the tower but to the road outside the city so she could obtain new companions.
She did and at first her father thought she might have gained some courage truly needed to thrive. Fang did not. Her father was concerned with how he would keep her daughter from becoming a premature hermit, but he found his answer. Visiting the local academy of Violet City he learned of a new academy in Alola accepting all students and decided that he needed to push her there. Again there was much kicking and screaming but Fang Shi was well on her way to Alola’s Pokémon Academy.
Partner Pokemon: Rattata (Male) Moveset: Crunch Tail Whip Focus Energy Quick Attack Ability: Guts Bio: Rattata is a hot-blooded and mangy little critter. It views himself as the ultimate hero and only shows deferment to Fang. Anything else is secondary and unworthy of Fang. It is restless and enjoys biting things.
Pokemon #2: Bellsprout (Female) Moveset: Vine Whip Poison Powder Sleep Powder Stun Spore Ability: Chlorophyll Bio: Bellsprout is a cowardly creature which values its own fibers above all else. It is very skittish and prone to surrendering and begging unless it has been backed into a corner. It enjoys rummaging around in soil.
Pokemon #3: Bellsprout (Female) Moveset: Vine Whip Growth Acid Poison Powder Ability: Chlorophyll Bio: Bellsprout is a lazy and mellow plant. It prefers to stand still and lay about as opposed to moving around. It enjoys basking under the sunlight.
Here is my application for a professor role, thank-you for checking it out! This roleplay sounds like fun.
"These bodies we use are temporary... but for now you may call mine Nyxia...heehee..."

Name: Nyxia Remeyo Age: 33 (estimated) Region of Origin: Sinnoh Role: Professor. Specialisation: Herbal Medicine
-o-
Biography
Born in Solaceon Town, Nyxia's peaceful childhood was tarnished when her father, a highly respected council member of the town, became involved with a dangerous religious sect. Though the cult had seemed to be peaceful at first, Nyxia's father had slowly become entangled in barbaric rituals and pokemon sacrifices, striking fear in the Remeyo family and anyone who questioned his maniacal visions and beliefs. Eager to initiate the promising Nyxia Remeyo into his practices, Nyxia's father had begun to involve her in ritualistic pokemon sacrifices. Too afraid of going against her father, Nyxia would obey his commands, until the day that Nyxia's father had ordered her to sacrifice her own pokemon and closest companion, Ralts. Nyxia refused. It was Nyxia's mother that helped her daughter to escape her father's wrath, creating a plan to keep Nyxia in a small cottage in nearby woods, away from the influence of her cult-entrenched family.
It is in these days of isolation that Nyxia passed time by reading books that her mother would secretly leave at her doorstep. It is through books that Nyxia learnt about the world that was denied to her. Learning information about the medicinal properties of herbs and plants, Nyxia would explore the woods around her for specimens and nutrients.
These days were torturous and trying for Nyxia as she did her best to survive alone as a young girl stripped from the comfort of family. She immersed herself in the books that her mother brought to her and conducted her own experiments with the herbal samples she obtained from the forest. The barbarism of her father only made her more protective of the pokemon she came across. Day by day she would find injured pokemon within the woods and nurse them with her herbal concoctions. Eventually, pokemon had begun flocking themselves to Nyxia's cottage, which had become an oasis in the harshness of the woods.
One day, whilst Nyxia was out doing her routine analyses of the woods, she was spotted by a well known professor from Kalos, Professor Alamore -- who had also taken interest in the area. The professor had been astounded at the scholarly level of the mysterious girl's research methods and decided to approach her:
"Sorry to bother you ma'am, but are you a student from around here?"
Nyxia had done her best to avoid human interaction after her exile, she had shook her head at the man without even taking her attention away from the plant specimen she was analysing. A Rakts judged the man suspiciously, peering out from behind Nyxia's cloak.
"...Would you like to become a student?" Professor Alamore had tried again.
Nyxia paused. She turned towards the man, pulling back the shawl that shaded most of her face. Professor Alamore had not needed to hear a word from the strange girl, her ambition shone in her eyes.
Thus began Nyxia's time at the Alolan Pokemon Academy. Her scholarship allowed her to somewhat leave behind her life in Sinnoh and start anew. From the beginning, Professor Alamore had noted her as a brilliant student, though her footsteps seemed weighted by a haunting past. Nyxia had an effortless bond with her closest companion, Gallade. To the professors, the pokemon seemed to be the only thing in the world the girl could trust. Those at the academy had been inspired by this bond between trainer and pokemon, they had tried to analyse how such a bond could be replicated.
Attempts at learning about Nyxia's history with her pokemon were met with discomfort and odd, irrelevant responses. Nyxia hardly spoke as a student, she seemed to carry upon her shoulders a constant cloak of shame. The only person she would meet at the eyes would be Professor Alamore, who saw the potential in the girl's eyes and took it upon himself to personally mentor her.
Nyxia Remeyo felt comfortable around Professor Alamore, she would follow him around the campus constantly, even on his lunch breaks. He would invite her to work on his research projects, and Nyxia never ceased to disappoint. She would bring him specially-created herbal teas that she had formulated with the flora found around the academy and wait to see his reaction when he brought the drink to his lips. There was a beautiful friendship between the two of them, and they taught one another many useful lessons through their individual specialisations.
As Nyxia's confidence at the Academy grew, Prof. Alamore had convinced her to teach some classes on the topic of Herbal medicines. Nyxia had been a clumsy, awkward mess of an instructor at first, however, the students had found her strange character to be endearing and her knowledge, endless. Nyxia even surprised herself to find that she was enjoying her classes, and often caught herself thinking about them obsessively, excited to share her knowledge and relate to students in a way she had never been able to before.
Naturally, Nyxia rose to the role of professor during her time teaching. Her calculated, mature thinking combined with her odd childlikeness has made her a memorable figure at the Academy.
Today, the professor is devoted to her teaching and to her students, a part of her seeks to heal her own suffering by caring for her pupils. There is something undeniably otherworldly about Nyxia, as though she is constantly fighting a battle no one else can see. She often ponders in her own world... Sometimes sitting by a window, eating alone, and staring at something painful in the distance. Nyxia Remeyo floats about the Academy like a ghost, but with the presence of a highly-respected doctor. Her cloak seems to conceal both her slender body and her tortured past... though the professor has been known to drop details of her life story at random moments, shocking those who hear as to whether it could be fact or her twisted, dry humour.

Partner Pokemon: Mismagius ♀ Moveset: Mean Look, Power Gem, Shadow Ball, Shadow Sneak Ability: Levitate Bio: During Nyxia's isolated life in the cottage in the woods, she would often talk to herself to create her own company when Ralts would be asleep or out exploring. These empty musings would attract lurking Ghost-type pokemon who would attempt to terrorise the young girl and feed off of her energy. A Misdreavus was one of these pokemon, who would haunt Nyxia when she was alone or asleep, and drain her energy. After some time, the Misdreavus had realised that Nyxia had been pretending to feel fear when she was surprised by the ghost-pokemon, purely to help the pokemon find sustenance. So touched by the reckless empathy of the girl, the Misdreavus sought to do Nyxia a favour. The pokemon noticed Nyxia's obsession with books, and began terrorising nearby towns instead, draining unsuspecting book-readers and swiping their reading material in the process. Though Nyxia disapproved of the Misdreavus' means, she couldn't turn down the invaluable information that the pokemon was bringing to her doorstep. Now a Mismagius, this pokemon is who Nyxia has relied upon to develop her wide-spanning intelligence.
Bio: Nyxia had encountered Tangrowth whilst on a routine expedition of a part of the forest. She had opted to rest for a moment in a clearing, settling on what seemed to be a lush patch of bundled vines. To her shock, the surface she had rested on had begun to tremor, revealing a rudely awoken Tangrowth. Overcome with terror, Nyxia had attempted to run away from the lumbering pokemon -- who was in hot pursuit. Utilising her developed knowledge of berries and herbs in the area, Nyxia had spotted a berry tree and hid behind it. The Tangrowth lashed out at the tree, causing a rain of berries to fall at its feet. The pokemon had turned its attention to its serendipitous feast. This plan had not stopped the pokemon from following Nyxia, however, who had now pledged allegiance to the girl for as long as she could supply its hunger for berries.
