Name:
Rosanna Abernathy

Nicknames:
Ro, Rosie

Age:
17

Gender:
Female

Origin:
Celestic Town

Appearance:
Rosie is a fairly petite girl, standing at 5'3" and weighing 110 pounds. With soft features and big, hazel eyes, she has a rather cute "girl next door" sort of look; however, this makes her seem just a tad bit younger than she really is. Her hair is a mousy brown that reaches just past her shoulders, though she prefers to keep it up in a ponytail. Rosie prefers comfortable, practical clothing, given her love for the outdoors that usually leaves her looking a little messy. She does her best to stay well-kept, though this is often futile.

Personality:
Rosie is, in a word, adventurous. She's never been able to stay still, always seeking out some sort of discovery. With an insatiable curiosity and restless ambition, Rosie has never been able to stop herself from going after what she wants. Her goals are always at the forefront of her mind, with little room for much else. Her work ethic is a force to be reckoned with; oftentimes, her priorities can become skewed, as she frequently abandons her physical and mental well-being for the sake of her ambition.

Of course, working isn't all there is to her. Rosie makes a point of being friendly; extroverted and outgoing, she finds it easy to befriend others, and isn't afraid to approach strangers for the sake of conversation. She's rather easy to talk to, always happy to offer a smile to anyone who passes by. Rosie genuinely enjoys getting to know other people, always listening intently to their thoughts and opinions. Her cheerful, energetic persona can get the best of her sometimes, as she tends to run headfirst into things without much forethought.

Despite seeming like a bit of an airhead, Rosie is a surprisingly intelligent girl, displaying impressive knowledge of her fields of study. She has a deep passion for research, with a tendency to talk at-length about a given subject with anyone who asks. She's a fast learner, capable of picking up new skills rather easily; with a sharp, observant gaze, she tends to pick up on things that others might miss. This comes in handy during battle, especially when paired with her scientific knowledge of Pokemon. Rosie enjoys challenges and solving problems, stubbornly refusing to give in until she overcomes them.

Short Biography:
Growing up in Celestic Town is a little...slow, to say the least. With a population of just 22, it barely even qualifies as a town to begin with. But even from a young age, Rosie always seemed to make the best of it. Being the only child of two loving and doting parents-a pair of retired archaeologists-she had all the love and attention she could ever want. She developed an early love for reading, quickly making her way through all the books her parents owned. Her passion for learning was quickly noticed by her parents, who made sure to foster it as much as they could.

But of course, there's only one thing Celestic Town really has to offer: the Celestic Ruins. As such, Rosie found herself spending a great deal of time there, her curiosity drawing her to the etchings inside. These etchings spawned an early fascination with Pokemon, especially their role in Sinnoh's history. Rosie began to spend more time studying Pokemon in particular, with a renewed fervor that surprised even her parents. Still, they made sure to support her, buying whatever study materials she asked for. She learned about different species, their evolution, how they might be related to one another, their capabilities, and more. She became especially fascinated with the interactions that Pokemon have had with humans over time; the symbiotic relationship between the two, their role in society, and how battling has shaped Sinnoh's modern culture. During this time, she developed a heavy reliance on caffeine to keep her awake late into the night.

But eventually, books alone weren't enough to satisfy her. With the protection of some of her parents' Pokemon, Rosie began to venture short distances outside of Celestic Town, studying Pokemon in the wild. She found battling to be a very effective means of study, and actually took to it rather quickly. She began to pay more attention to the professional battles shown on TV as well, taking note of the way that trainers interact with their Pokemon. Once again, her parents sought to encourage her; they called in an old research partner, who quickly took interest in Rosie's work. After some time, it was decided that the best way for her to continue researching Pokemon battles was for her to leave Celestic Town altogether. It just so happened that the gym challenge would be starting up soon; sensing a great opportunity, he endorsed her, promising that if she did well enough he'd hire her as a full-time field researcher. Of course, she accepted.

Shortly after, her parents bought Rosie a very special gift: a Pokemon egg. With a great deal of care and love, the egg hatched into a Riolu. The two are inseparable, never straying from each other's side.

Name: Louie Donnavich

Nicknames: Lou, Louball, Donnabi--... actually, let’s not use that one.

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Origin: Pastoria City

Appearance: Lou appears pretty ragged, even for a Pokemon trainer, and it doesn’t appear as though he cares either. He has black hair and green eyes, is tanned from the sunlight, and is quite tall, around 6’3 and lanky. He wears faded jeans that seem just a bit too short for him, yet somehow too big around the legs at the same time. He wears worn-out black rubber boots, and a brown coat over a white tank top, hiding a set of surprisingly toned arms. There is clearly untrimmed stubble on his face, and he could easily be mistaken for someone older if not for his slouching and generally inattentive demeanor.

Personality: “Pokemon battles are supposed to be fun, right? So I mean, I’m just here to have fun.” More competitive trainers might find Louie’s attitude towards Pokemon battling to be a bit grating, but he either doesn’t notice or doesn’t care. As long as he and his faithful Munchlax earn enough from doing various odd jobs and winning battles to keep eating well and travelling peacefully, he tends not to worry about much. Louie seldom stays in the same place for more than a few days, unless he’s visiting his parents in Pastoria City. Or there’s a crisis that he and Chewie the Munchlax want to help solve.

Louie is as about as relaxed as you can be without being asleep and rarely gets angry. He has a tendency to doze off, and yet it seems as though walking for hours and hours doesn't tire him out. Although he knows a great deal about Pokemon and nature, Louie can be a bit slow on the uptake. He isn’t stupid per say, but he has trouble paying attention to subjects that don’t immediately draw his interest, and tends to joke around even about serious topics.

Louie is a skilled athlete thanks to his extensive travelling by foot, and despite his lax nature, has a surprising competitive streak once he gets into the heat of battle. Even when tensions flare up, expect Louie to make fast friends with most people, have the time of his life, and forgive bitter rivalries quickly. The exception being litterers. Louie hates when people litter, and will take it upon himself to angrily and bitterly pick up trash that isn’t even his if he sees it. Assuming his Pokemon doesn’t eat it first.

Short Biography: Louie has been surrounded by Pokemon his entire life. He was born and raised in Pastoria City, surrounded by some of the widest Pokediversity in the region. Both of his parents, Don and Ana, have been working as park rangers in the Great Marsh Nature Preserve since before Louie was born. With their partners, Toxicroak and Roserade respectively, they helped to preserve the natural ecosystems in the area and prevent the overcatching of Pokemon from their natural habitat (as well as, in some cases, preventing the propagation of invasive species by catching them and returning them to their natural habitats).

Louie had known how to throw a Pokeball since he was six, but he hadn’t ever caught a Pokemon for himself. His early “training” consisted of catching only what needed to be taken out of the nature preserve and immediately turning them in to one of his parents.

One day, however, Louie’s parents began to speak about a great black and white beast wreaking havoc across the Great Marsh, devouring literally hundreds of pounds of native plant life and overturning entire acres of land in search of food. Louie was determined to make his parents proud, and so without their knowledge, set out to try and find this mysterious Pokemon carving a swathe of destruction through the reserve.

... Needless to say, when Louie found that the creature in question was a simple Munchlax, he had a rather long laugh about it. The Munchlax was easy enough to lure back to one of the safehouses using a copious supply of the Marsh’s standard Pokemon bait, and even simpler to capture once it had eaten its fill of trail rations. With a bit of training, Louie taught his Munchlax, whom he affectionately began to refer to as “Chewie”, what was and was not acceptable to eat, and ensured that no matter how hungry, Chewie would always have something to snack on. He would become rather helpful in the Marsh, gleefully gobbling down any non-native plant species which dared to threaten the area’s natural ecosystem. Chewie and Louie set out travelling a few weeks after Louie’s fifteenth birthday, and have been inseparable ever since. On his last trip to Pastoria City, Louie received the endorsement of the city’s gym leader as a thank you for his service to the park. Louie decided that pursuing the gym challenge would be a fun opportunity to meet some likeminded trainers, and if fate was on his side, maybe even make a run at the champion’s tournament...

Pokemon:

Summary: A relaxed trainer who, while good, really ought to take his battles more seriously if he wants to be great.

Other: Louie has a very good throwing arm. He wants to catch a Pokemon that's a bit better at fetch so he can actually put it to good use.
